Japanese Court Rules Same-Sex Marriage Ban is Constitutional - Here’s Why That Matters.

Japan’s constitution, drafted by American military legal staff under the supervision of General Douglas MacArthur, defined marriage concretely. The U.S. Constitution does not.

Same-sex marriage continues to be an issue of contention. Proponents and opponents, both, base their respective judgments on morality, religion, constitutionality, justice, and natural or human rights (among others). On Monday, June 20, a Japanese court concluded that the country’s ban on marriages of persons of the same sex is constitutionally protected. The plaintiff’s underlying premise was that Japan’s prohibition is, in effect, an unequal application of the law. What has occurred in the Nipponese nation could establish a precedent for other countries to follow, considering how divided societies are on the matter.

What Does Japan’s Constitution Say?

The Osaka District Court ruling overrode a lower court’s decision in Sapporo which claimed that Japan’s proscription of gay marriage violated the Constitution. The constitutional safeguard of the institution of marriage explicitly refers to this legal union as one between a man and a woman. Article 24 of the 1947 Japanese Magna Carta states that “Marriage shall be based only on the mutual consent of both sexes, and it shall be maintained through mutual cooperation with the equal rights of husband and wife as a basis.”

Is America Finally Standing Up to Woke Capitalism?.

We are seeing signs that Americans are fed up with the sexualization of their children and are finally standing up to Woke Capitalism.

Western Marxism with its emphasis on cultural determinism has been poisoning America’s institutions for decades. The free-market system in the U.S. has not been immune to this phenomenon. The Frankfurt School’s critical theory studies — all indoctrination schemes — that have permeated American colleges and universities since 1989 — ironically after the fall of Soviet communism — has produced an entrepreneurial class that would make Lenin and Mao proud. There appears to be brewing, fortunately for free societies, resistance to this liberticidal assault. Does this mean the end of Woke Capitalism?

How Corporations Promote Cultural Marxism

By way of corporate employee and officer “training” exercises known by the acronym of DIE (diversity, inclusion, and equity), major American companies are promoting the tenets of cultural Marxism. The critical theory doctrines that are most relevant in the affected U.S. workplaces are race, gender, and queer. All three Neo-Marxist propositions conclude that there is systemic racial, gender, and/or sexual oppression. Often these victimology fables overlap, according to the proponents. For this fusion, when it occurs, the woke revolutionaries have invented something they call “intersectionality”.

‘Woke Activism’ Could Take Over Hispanic Radio Stations: Interview with Orlando Gutierrez.

Stations that have played as a “hub of community awareness” and as a “public space for the Cuban exile community” could now be at risk.

AUTHOR JULIO M. SHILING  Y TOMÁS LUGO

As part of El American series of short interviews, our contributor Julio M. Shiling interviewed journalist Orlando Gutiérrez-Boronat, secretary-general of the Cuban Democratic Directorate, to discuss the recent purchase of 18 Hispanic radio stations by a group of Democrats financed by George Soros, including the iconic Radio Mambí, known for its anti-communist views.

Gutiérrez-Boronat said he was concerned that the role these stations have played as a “hub of community awareness” and as a “public space for the Cuban exile community” could now be at risk.

How the São Paulo Forum’s Dictatorial Model Became Mainstream.

Colombia now has a communist president. Petro was among the first Marxist insurgents to heed Castro’s call.

The history of Marxist subversion in the Western Hemisphere began as early as 1919. The Bolshevik coup d’État in Russia signified the beginning of a global communist war for political power. Despite successes of the Communist International (Comintern) and Soviet intelligence in destabilizing democratic regimes across the Americas — including penetrating institutions as important as that of various American presidential administrations — victories in the Western Hemisphere were scarce for the most part. The Castro-Communist revolution bolstered socialist expansionism in an unprecedented way after 1959. Ironically, it wasn’t until the fall of Soviet communism — thirty-two years later — that socialist despotism began to really blossom in Latin America.
