Chaos with Jenna

CELEBRITIES can be trusted to support the script. They are hired actors in a morality play. Jenna Bush Hager, daughter of George W. Bush and host of the Today show, is a major character in celebrity culture. She is pretty and talented, to be sure, but also willing to sacrifice her privacy and family for the cause.

A recent interview of Hager on her return to her job after three months of maternity leave for the birth of her third child is a revealing look into the dictates of our rulers. Hager has two daughters, ages 4 and 6, and now a three-month-old son, whose childhoods will likely be almost as heavily exposed as the childhoods of the children of Prince William and Kate Middleton, Americans having as little choice over the royal lineage as the British do.

The interview is a classic case of “Nanny-for-Me, Slavery-for-Thee” feminism.

You need to go to the full magazine article to see the photo of Jenna in her daughters’ bedroom, a scene of luxurious chaos with toys strewn everywhere and her husband, Henry Hager, lounging on a bunk bed, playing the part of the incompetent Dad which is now sadly the reality for the culture at large now that masculinity and the male provider have been so thoroughly demonized and trashed. He lies beneath a Communist-style framed poster of the head of woman and the words, “Women are Perfect.”

Jenna waxes on about her happiness as a mother. But she also repeatedly mentions the messiness of her family’s life, especially messy since she now is hardly ever home. The fact that she has a nanny — and surely much more paid help — is glossed over, leading readers to believe very mistakenly that her life is just like theirs.

“Since Henry and I both have big jobs, I’m hoping that our kids realize the biggest job and the biggest priority is them,” she adds.

That’s hard to believe. Surely, Jenna does not even remotely need her job, financially speaking, and yet she spends more of her waking hours with it. Her husband is managing director of a financial firm for the gas and petroleum industries, Waterous Energy Fund, which is worth close to $1.4 billion.

Our financial system requires that most women get back to their jobs. They must work as long as possible to pay the mounting taxes and prices that are inherent in debt-based capitalism. Capitalism resembles Communism more and more every day. Both lead to highly concentrated wealth. Both are conducive to slavery.

Jenna certainly wouldn’t keep her celebrity status if she didn’t get back to her trashy, high-profile job right away, at the absurdly early date of three months after the birth of her son though she probably genuinely does prefer being at her job than being with her children, which would be much harder on a gal like Jenna.

That people at large are becoming poorer and poorer has been masked thus far by their willingness to work more at the expense of domestic life. Beautiful celebrities and their bubbly vitality reassure them that all is well. The reason their houses are messy, their meals are rushed and unhealthy, they have no time to pass on manners and meaning, and they have so little leisure that they can only collapse with exhaustion in front of a TV at the end of the day — is because that’s just normal.

The Bushes have always promoted social revolution under the guise of middle class respectability. One can already see the signs of uncontrolled behavior on the part of Jenna’s adorable daughters. That’s just part of the chaos, right? Americans are told to sacrifice the very character of their children on the altars of material well-being. The mother as provider has replaced the mother as sculptor of character.

“What was really a joy of maternity leave was that I got to take my girls to school every single morning,” Bush Hager recalls, admitting she “definitely [has] missed a lot” in her girls’ schedules — “but at the same time, I try to focus on what I can do and what I do bring because I think if we beat ourselves up for everything we miss, then we’re not as happy of a parent as we can be.”

Parents, it’s true, should not beat themselves up for what they cannot possibly do. But they definitely should berate Jenna and others who encourage them to deny the real causes of the mess.

Life with children has an inherent chaos under the best of conditions. But the chaos ordinary people are being encouraged to accept is hellish and nothing less than the fall of civilization. Feminism never was a grassroots revolution. It was — and is — a revolution from above, and it no more serves the interests of humanity than the philosophy of Karl Marx.
