Micheal O'Brien, author on crisis of culture in West, says this "German state intervention in family life is a new level of auto-destruction"
By John-Henry Westen
BERLIN, July 30, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Booklets from a subsidiary of
the German government's Ministry for Family Affairs encourage parents to
sexually massage their children as young as 1 to 3 years of age. Two
40-page booklets entitled "Love, Body and Playing Doctor" by the German
Federal Health Education Center (Bundeszentrale für gesundheitliche
Aufklärung - BZgA) are aimed at parents - the first addressing children
from 1-3 and the other children from 4-6 years of age.
"Fathers do not devote enough attention to the clitoris and vagina of
their daughters. Their caresses too seldom pertain to these regions, while
this is the only way the girls can develop a sense of pride in their sex,"
reads the booklet regarding 1-3 year olds. The authors rationalize, "The
child touches all parts of their father's body, sometimes arousing him.
The father should do the same."
Canadian author and public speaker Michael O'Brien who has written and
spoken extensively about the crisis of culture in the West spoke to
LifeSiteNews.com about the shocking and extremely disturbing phenomenon.
It is, he said, "State-encouraged incest, which in most civilized
societies is a crime." The development is, he suggests, a natural outcome
of the rejection of the Judeo-Christian moral order.
"The imposed social revolution that has swept the western world is moving
to a new stage as it works out the logical consequences of its view of
man's value," said O'Brien. "It is merely obeying its strictly materialist
philosophy of man. If man is no more than a creature created for pleasure
or power. If he is no more than a cell in the social organism, then no
moral standards, no psychological truths, no spiritual truths can refute
the 'will to power' and the 'will to pleasure'."
The pamphlet advises parents to permit young children "unlimited
masturbation" except where physical injury becomes apparent. It advises:
"Children should learn that there is no such thing as shameful parts of
the body. The body is a home, which you should be proud of." For ages
4-6, the booklet recommends teaching children the movements of copulation.
Another product of the BZgA is a song book aimed at children of four and
slightly older which includes several songs espousing masturbation. The
song-book entitled "Nose, belly and bum" includes one song with the
following lyrics: "When I touch my body, I discover what I have. I have a
vagina, because I am a girl. Vagina is not only for peeing. When I touch
it, I feel a pleasant tingle."
"The wiser and deeper position of most civilizations recognized that
children need a period of innocence," commented O'Brien. "Now the state,
the German state, is encouraging destruction of this state of innocence,"
he added. "This is consistent with the materialist philosophy that sees
all moral norms and all truths about human nature as repressive. Pleasure
and their distorted concept of freedom are their only guiding principles."
According to the Polish daily newspaper Rzeczpospolita, the BZgA booklet
is an obligatory read in nine German regions. It is used for training
nursery, kindergarten and elementary school teachers. Ironically it is
recommended by many organizations officially fighting pedophilia, such as
the German Kunderschutzbund. BZgA sends out millions of copies of the
booklet every year.
"A society such as Germany's which is already in steep decline, indeed
into degeneration, will only inherit the whirlwind of violence and further
levels of degradation of their own people," warned O'Brien.
"It has happened before in Germany. It has happened in other nations.
Different causes but the same dynamic, the rejection of the moral order of
the created universe results in radical evil. The German state
intervention in family life is a new level of auto-destruction," said
O'Brien.
Rzeczpospolita reports that the Eckhardt Scheffer of BZgA claimed that
before releasing the manual the organization consulted parents, educators
and child psychologists. 93% of whom gave a positive evaluation.
Even for a Western nation, Germany's billboards and television ads push
the limits of public pornography. Last year LifeSiteNews.com reported
that a very popular teen magazine in Germany publishes nude photos of
teens in sexual positions which would be in almost any other nation
illegal child pornography.
With a licentiousness as the new morality of the secular materialist
establishment and homeschool a forbidden practice, parents in Germany may
well wonder what will transpire in public education.
"Will those children who are not liberated by their parents have special
classes in their schools where they're introduced to these practices,"
asked O'Brien rhetorically. "If the state intervenes in this way, what
won't it intervene in?"
O'Brien concluded his comments quoting G.K. Chesterton: "When men cease to
believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then
become capable of believing anything."
