WWNH had a primary thesis and secondary themes. Sir Guy mentioned more than once that during his career he taught Leadership in the Navy and at the university level. As I review his archives, I plan to pay particular attention to what he says about leadership. My favourite example of leadership is Ernest Shackleton. I have been fascinated with his life for a number of years now. He is not as widely known as he should be. Here is an introductory article: www.artofmanliness.com/2011/08/02/leadership-lessons-from-ernest-shackleton/

I too am interested in (christian moral) Leadership since I notice its screaming absence at all levels of every day society I find myself in and look forward to learning what you discover in Guy's WWNH treasure chest on this matter.
Don't know if you have heard of Edward Hunter, the American journalist and intelligence agent, who is noted for his work on anti-communism and brainwashing. He spoke about the issue of leadership in this consultation described here:
www.crossroad.to/Quotes/globalism/Congress.htm
He says:
"The Communists are being abetted in their brainwashing program in the United States, Mr. Hunter declared, by the collapse of traditional American ideals of self-reliance and individual integrity.
“The Communists have been in operation for a full generation, taking strategic advantage of the American principles, exploiting the best sides in our characters as vulnerabilities, and succeeding for a generation in changing the characteristics of Americans. I remember when I was a young man, every personnel department was looking for leadership qualities. What was sought was a man’s capacity as an individual to achieve new things. Today that is not even considered by personnel departments in their employment policies. They ask, instead, if the man ‘gets along’ with everybody. They do not ask what is his individuality; they ask how he conforms. When we raise a young man to believe that at all costs he must get on with everyone, we have put him into a state of mind that almost guarantees, if he falls into the hands of an enemy such as the Communists, that he will react as he had been raised, to try ‘to get on,’ because he must not be ‘antisocial.’
“Being ‘antisocial’ has become the cardinal sin in our society. We have to again go back to characteristics of ours which made us, as individuals, say that what is right is right, and whether or not it is antisocial, makes no difference. The young man who broadcast for the Red Chinese was simply ‘getting along’ as he had been taught to do by our educators.” The way i see things playing out in the political realm in the world today is that the West (or should I say America rather?), its traditions, its values and what it stands for are under attack by those who embrace Communism and its collectivist way of thinking. It's the Cold War all over again. Only this time it is being fought at the psychological level as well as at the cultural level. I remember Guy sharing a youtube video about Cultural Marxism that talks about the war taking place at the cultural level, i just cannot remember the post in which he shared it. Individualism is one of the West's values and it is individualists (who are normally men) who are the leaders, not the collective/women. Since men are attacked by Feminist thought/brainwashing daily and conditioned with female traits like the ones Hunter mentions above (i.e. conforming, cooperating, getting along, being social etc.) so are their affinity for leadership being attacked hence why we see leadership from men so rarely displayed these days. The way i see collectivism and individualism is like this: women (matriarchy)(many, democracy)(equality)(Communism/Marxism)(followers)(Eve)(Feminism) and men (patriarchy)(few, individual)(difference)(fairness)(capitalism)(leaders)(Adam)(Christianity), respectively.
The attack against the West's leadership and men, is also taking place at the spiritual level, where the goal is to replace God's leadership and patriarchal order with the Collectivists' matriarchal order and to replace God as ruler with the Collective (represented by the devil) as the ruler of mankind and the world. If Eve wins the war against Adam by wiping out his identity or his unique way of being, she and her identity or way of being would be the new status quo... In Adam's case of being in the world, God created that state of affairs. Whereas in Eve's modern case of being, the Collective (represented by the devil or the devil indirectly via the collective) would be the creator of that state of affairs. We are going back full circle to where the story began in the Garden of Eden with original sin, when Adam went against God's command and chose to follow Eve's leadership by eating from the fruit as well... From that event the devil learnt that by deceiving Eve, it can deceive the entire world if it uses her as its deceiving tool (i.e. Feminism). As was demonstrated to us back then already, whenever we disobey God, challenge His authority, order of things, leadership and follow another's leadership like Eve's (or the devil's lead indirectly via Eve/feminism for that matter), disorder follows and we all suffer as a consequence! Since their disobedience to God through the consumption of the fruit, it's been the Cold War between the leadership of good or evil, right or wrong or truth or lies calling upon our free-will to choose which side we are on. We know what happens next in the story when God came back looking for Adam an Eve, just like we know what will happen next when Jesus returns.
Thank you for sharing Shackleton. When i read the article you shared about him, some of the leadership traits that I am looking for but couldn't articulate like the story does, became visible!

Fascinating. You are a woman after my own heart - I don't even know where to begin.
You are 100% correct in tying this topic to Cultural Marxism. I also think you have really hit on something important with regard to the question of female leadership vs. male leadership, and how this shift has been socially engineered to undermine the moral order. In fact, this ties into my own area of research.
I have much to say in response to you, but not the time to say it at the moment. Sir Guy was VERY tuned into Cultural Marxism and how it fits into everything discussed at WWNH, although he didn't devote too much time to writing about the subject, at least not directly. But the theme of cultural change via the subversion of traditional Western values - which was spearheaded by the Frankfurt School - underlies much of Sir Guy's own highly specialised work.
Let's pick this discussion up again at the end of the summer, when I intend to devote significant time to promoting Sir Guy's ideas, and to this blog.

I look forward to what you have to say when your time and availability allow it. I have heard of the Frankfurt School, in this youtube video Guy once shared with us in one of his posts: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VggFao85vTs
