Porn: The Illuminati Plot

Henry Makow is an interesting, if controversial, guy. The creator of the popular home game Scruples, he now runs the Website SaveTheMales.ca, which is dedicated to his hobby horses: in particular, warning the promotion of feminism, homosexuality and pornography is part of an Illuminati plot to destroy Western civilization. That he links this diabolical conspiracy to the Protocols of Zion would make him an easy target as anti-Semite, if it wasn't for the fact he's a descendant of Nazi Holocaust survivors. In any case, Makow is often dismissed as an anti-woman, anti-gay moral prude, and though the truth is a bit more nuanced than that, these reductions of his writings are not made out of thin air. Furthermore, whatever his own particular views may be, his work is popular among rabid anti-Semites, white supremacists and extreme right-wing Christians that all endorse a very ugly, reactionary politic agenda. If you judge a tree by their fruits, Makow would be a good tree to avoid at all costs.

It would then be real easy for me dismiss Makow and his works as the paranoid scribblings of a man suffering a major persecution complex that any Freudian could write a thesis over. It would be easy to dismiss him, but unfortunately, I can't, even if I don't share the same philosophy as he does. The reason I can't dismiss him is that his writings prove to be way too stunningly accurate.

Take a recent piece by him on the effects of pornography on Japanese society. In Japan, porn is far more prevalent and depraved than it is in the USA, and the results aren't pretty:

"Normally teenage boys are obsessed with sex. So you know something is very wrong when more than a third of Japanese youths say they don't want it!

According to a government survey, 35 per cent of Japanese males aged 16-19 are averse to sex, more than double the 17.5 percent of men in the previous study in 2008."

This little stat underscores one of his main points: that American society's obsession with sex is paradoxically anti-sexual in nature. Seeing what happens in a trailblazer nation on porn such as Japan is a sign of things to come. As Makow states:

"Pornography is a sexual turn-off. This is why the Illuminati have made it ubiquitous.

People get sick of whatever they have too much of. There's too much sex out there. The challenge and mystery are gone. Most males are jaded. They look at porn to see if there is any woman left who can turn them on.

Porn makes available women seem inadequate. It becomes a substitute for sex with a real woman."

Let it be noted that I am strongly in favor of free speech extended to pornography. I am also someone who doesn't hide his appreciation of porn. That said, I have to admit that everything Makow says in the paragraphs above is completely true. And I doubt any friends of mine who are porn appreciators would disagree with me on this.

I'm sure I haven't done Makow justice here, and a writer this unusual can't be given justice in such small of space. So instead let me recommend you his work at SaveTheMales.ca and HenryMakow.com where, even if if you don't completely embrace his premises, you may learn something from his often controversial writings.
