Ridiculous Ideas Can Only Be Imposed by FORCE

The last few minutes are the key moments in this video.  Not only that, but the empty vessel Mitt Romney calling for immediate influx of poor war torn refugees (no time to waste!) made me think that I'm going to have to show ID to go to a baseball game or to the local latin bistro down the street.  Yet Mitt is in a hurry to bring more 'refugees'.  Are they masked and vaccinated?  If not, why not?

We are ruled over by imbeciles who are grotesque, contemptible clowns.  The only people for whom I have more contempt are the 'American citizens' who are OK with all of this.  

"Come into the USA from wherever, unmasked, no Bug19 testing, none of that stuff ...  but YOU need to wear a mask and show a vaccine passport to go watch the Mets or go to the local bar." - NYC Progressive Liberals, and much of the can't - implode-quickly-enough-for-me-right-now American citizenry.

Watch the whole thing.  If you're not upset, you're either clueless, stupid, not paying attention, or all 3.

Afghanistan

There are many 'takes' on the Afghanistan 20 year war farce debacle.  The best one I've seen in print so far is Michael Tracey's:

It's a thorough examination of many factors of the decades long corrupt Neo-conservative empire building stupidity.  None of the people involved will pay in any way of course.  The implosion of the once proud These United States continues apace.  My comment on Tracey's site was this:

"The same group of incompetents are now turning inward, because the maneuvers outward, all over the world, are starting to crumble. We in the school business have a saying about incompetent administrators in the bad neighborhood school like the one in which I work: "If you can't control the students, control the teachers." This is what we're seeing now. As the American Empire implodes, we're getting 'vaccine passports', 'mask mandates', and other assorted control freak decisions for something that if you're under 65 you've a 99.9 percent chance of survival. It's all so tiresome and ridiculous. 

I wish I were one of the sophisticated people who can sit unmasked in a group of hundreds, and have a big birthday bash. But no. NYC is gearing up to ask me personal medical information that 18 months ago would have been unthinkable, and had the prog ACLU types screaming bloody murder. I think I picked the wrong 'unsophisticated' parents.

As Greenwald has noted, the eye of Sauron is turning inward, as they've lost control of the other spots. COVID!!! is the wedge, and the pattern of incompetence so ably spoken of here by MT is the playbook now.

Wear a mask, even if you're vaxxed. Covid is a thing. Stay safe."

The people who were cheering this unwindable war on, the wispy remnants of the Bush and Obama era neoconservatives are now lamenting the war's end.  It's funny how these people, like Jennifer Rubin and Max Boot, are always writing about continuing wars in the Middle East, or, things like this:

Strange how this woman is always ok with war in the Middle East, exceedingly happy that American troops are there to see to it that Israel is protected, while cheering on the 'fabulous news' that the USA is becoming more diverse.  How bizarre is that?  So odd that she'd never mention such a thing about her home country.  This turd is cut from the same cloth:

This is one of the patterns that I've told students to notice.  The Rubins and Boots of the world are always ready to send your family members to fight and die, particularly in the Middle East, for interests that are not yours.  They also cheer for open borders and 'diversity' for the USA, while applauding the border horror show and open air prisons in Palestine.  They are truly odious people and their opinions, especially about the end of the Afghanistan war, are forfeit.

Greenwald OBLITERATES the Washington Post

This is a good video for your regular friend who thinks that CNN, The Washington Post, MSNBC or The NY Times are somewhat biased and flawed media companies, yet think they generally try with honesty to produce wholesome and dispassionate news.

Screaming 'Operation Mockingbird!!' will have no effect.  It will simply alienate them further.

Glenn Greenwald knows that the corporate media is a wretched, corrupt, and censorious joke.  He's moving away from those outfits and creating his own niche.  He's using Subtack and Rumble.  He not only announced his move the other day, but he also used the Washington Post's coverage of the event to showcase how infantile and twisted they are.  He gives a case study on his move and the Post's article on it.

It is a great vehicle for you to explain to your friend what has happened to Corporate Media, as well as showing them the techniques they use. 

Disclaimer: Only use this with people you think are salvageable.  The Social Media addled Mass-Man and Mass-Woman are not able to be reached.  Forget them.  Write them off. 

I commented on Greenwald's Substack with this, emphasizing this point:

"Organized Globalist Power always uses the same terms to scare away the Normies. "Far Right", "Conspiracy Theorists", "Conservatives", "Extremists"... and they work. Moves like the one you're making will make a real difference. The Maddow watching True Believers will never see the light, they love their comfortable existence looking at shadows in Plato's cave, but many regular people will be shaken awake. Nice work GG."

Support journalists and platforms that not only make real attempts to be honest, reliable and consistent, but also don't hate you.  Remember, Greenwald went from Pulitzer Prize winning media darling to persona non-grata because he exposed the Trump / Russia HOAX.  He saw it for what it was and called it out.  This angered the Globalist Elite.

TAIBBI: The Vanishing Legacy of Barack Obama

Matt Taibbi has written a case study of how someone gets taken in by the movement, then allows himself to admit he was wrong.  It's one of his best articles to date.  It is both admirable and rare that Taibbi would admit publicly that he was snookered.  Good for him:

I have never been unhappy that I subscribe to his substack page.

The article has the goods on the monstrosity that was the hypocritical and ultra sellout Obama era. It's the beginning about the birthday bash about which I commented:

"“Even Scaled Back,” wrote Vanity Fair, “Barack Obama’s Birthday Bash Is the Event of the Season.” Not even the famed glossy Bible of the unapologetic rich seemed sure of whether to write Obama’s Birthday bash straight or as an Onion headline: what did the “Event of the Season” mean during a pandemic?"

What pandemic? Not only are there no "pandemic" numbers for regular people, the people who rule over us are laughing at the proles and honest journalists who still insist on using the word "pandemic". In what "pandemic" would a party of hundreds (maskless!!) people be seen as acceptable? If there were any risk to life, wouldn't at least one or two people either politely bail from the event or wear a mask because SCIENCE!!? The top of the heap is not only giving you the finger, it's telling you to your FACE that there is no pandemic, and that 'cases!!' mean nothing. This should move the needle, right?

But no. The only masked people I saw at that event were the help, the servants. They have no clout, and have to hold on to that job. They'd better follow pandemic! protocol.

If it weren't already obvious that the Elite are laughing at you, this ultimate middle finger event should show you.

As I write this there is legislation creating a no fly list for the "unvaccinated". NYC, where I live, is planning on not allowing anyone "unvaccinated" from going out to dinner, or the movies, or to the gym, or any other pubic event. I wonder what happens when a young black couple is turned away from a club or restaurant. The people at the Obama Bash will never have to worry about these things. They do what they want. The mask wearing lemming Prog here in NYC will go fight to the death to defend these people on social media, because not Orange Man Bad. I mean, I know things are bad, but at least there aren't any more mean tweets! Right guys?

It's so disgusting and hypocritical it belies belief. It isn't going to end well. Ironically, Trump wasn't the problem. He was the dam holding the angry masses back.

Another irony is that gun owning, self sufficient nominally Christian America will survive the collapse. Many like me realized that the people the Corporate Press made fun of were people to emulate and pay attention to. The "preppers" and the "clingers" in places like Idaho, rural VA, West VA, and northern N. Hampshire will only know that the liberal cities are imploding and filled with feral gangs if they check the non-corporate news sites.

The over under year on the collapse is 2030. I now think it might be a few years sooner."

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm planning on being right.

500 Years Ago the Aztec Empire FELL to Cortes and SPAIN

500 years ago yesterday, August 13th, 1521, everything changed.

The reigning superpower in Central America, the Aztec Empire, fell to Cortes.  It took him around 2 years to do it, and it took his military and political genius, as well as the unheralded engineering genius of Martin Lopez to take town Tenochtitlan, the capital city.  Tenochtitlan is known today as Mexico City.

My introduction to the topic was Victor Davis Hanson's Carnage and Culture.


It begins like this, and I highly recommend the book:

For a look at the event from the other side, another book I read and recommend highly is The Broken Spears.  The Aztec accounts were not forthcoming until a decade or so later.  This book is a collection of various sources, from the Indigenous side, and is therefore invaluable as an historical perspective:


Because Tenochtitlan (Mexico City) was an island city in the middle of Lake Texcoco, Cortez, with the help of Martin Lopez, wound up winning by using naval power.  It is an incredible story:



Next on my list are the two books by C. Gardner, noted above by VDH in his chapter on the topic.  Martin Lopez carried out what would be considered impossible by many.  

This is the book on the engineering and project management masterpiece that changed the world in which we live:


More difficult to find, but it's out there, is the book on Martin Lopez himself, by the same author.  I found both on Abe Books:


As the Prometheans work hard to take down all aspects of the West, including basic freedoms and civil rights, it's important to see why.  When you have a short, poorly schooled but well read man like Hernan Cortes, and an unsung, nearly historically invisible man like Martin Lopez able to change the course of human history, you can see why "They" don't want a country like these United States, or any country buttressed by Western Culture to exist.

500 years ago the world saw something incredible: a strong and determined Aztec Empire fall.  Analyzing the event's politics, culture, engineering and personalities is an amazing educational exercise.  It is more necessary now more than ever to study the event, as the Forces who have been battling the Good, the Beautiful and the True are working overtime even as I type this to ruin Western Culture.

Liberalism is a MENTAL DISORDER

That was one of Michael Savage's book titles many years ago.  It sounded witty and a bit off the wall back then.  Not anymore.

On Bari Weiss' substack page, Paul Rossi, a teacher at Grace Church HS in Manhattan, bravely spoke up and got himself fired.  He rejected the 'antiracism' workshop dialogue and said it was a mistake to distill everything into a question of race.  He also said that math is all about meritocracy, and it's inherently unbiased.  

The Progressive White Woke Liberals, proving that they have a mental disorder, shoved him out the door. The letter is from April 2021, and he has since been fired.  

You should read the whole thing at Weiss' page.  Note the reaction of the head of the HS when he questioned that math is pretty cut and dried, and doesn't respond to race:

"Recently, I raised questions about this ideology at a mandatory, whites-only student and faculty Zoom meeting. (Such racially segregated sessions are now commonplace at my school.) It was a bait-and-switch “self-care” seminar that labelled “objectivity,” “individualism,” “fear of open conflict,” and even “a right to comfort” as characteristics of white supremacy. I doubted that these human attributes — many of them virtues reframed as vices — should be racialized in this way. In the Zoom chat, I also questioned whether one must define oneself in terms of a racial identity at all. My goal was to model for students that they should feel safe to question ideological assertions if they felt moved to do so. 

It seemed like my questions broke the ice. Students and even a few teachers offered a broad range of questions and observations. Many students said it was a more productive and substantive discussion than they expected.

However, when my questions were shared outside this forum, violating the school norm of confidentiality, I was informed by the head of the high school that my philosophical challenges had caused “harm” to students, given that these topics were “life and death matters, about people’s flesh and blood and bone.” I was reprimanded for “acting like an independent agent of a set of principles or ideas or beliefs.” And I was told that by doing so, I failed to serve the “greater good and the higher truth.”

He further informed me that I had created “dissonance for vulnerable and unformed thinkers” and “neurological disturbance in students’ beings and systems.” The school’s director of studies added that my remarks could even constitute harassment.

A few days later, the head of school ordered all high school advisors to read a public reprimand of my conduct out loud to every student in the school. It was a surreal experience, walking the halls alone and hearing the words emitting from each classroom: “Events from last week compel us to underscore some aspects of our mission and share some thoughts about our community,” the statement began. “At independent schools, with their history of predominantly white populations, racism colludes with other forms of bias (sexism, classism, ableism and so much more) to undermine our stated ideals, and we must work hard to undo this history.”

Students from low-income families experience culture shock at our school. Racist incidents happen. And bias can influence relationships. All true. But addressing such problems with a call to “undo history” lacks any kind of limiting principle and pairs any allegation of bigotry with a priori guilt. My own contract for next year requires me to “participate in restorative practices designed by the Office of Community Engagement” in order to “heal my relationship with the students of color and other students in my classes.” The details of these practices remain unspecified until I agree to sign."

----------

Only someone with a mental disorder would react to Rossi's points in such a manner.  Their reaction to his suggestion to use Glenn Loury as discussion fodder was even more unhinged.  The white liberal's reaction to everything these days is reminiscent of someone with a mental disorder.  Bug 19, CRT, Orange Man, Saint George ... they all elicit absurd and clownish howling from these people.  

Interestingly, these hard core loons don't get any traction in the ghetto school where I work.  You know why?  Look at the Grace Church School website.  None of those unable-to-think-for-themselves white 'progressives' would last 15 minutes in a place like mine.  There are no white people in charge to blame where I work.  They're all gone.  It makes for a wonderful teaching environment.  Ironically, I can, and have, spoken like Mr. Rossi, as have many of my colleagues.  We say stuff like he did all the time.  There is no reaction whatsoever, except quality discussion.  It is both amazing and ironic.  My time with students is enjoyable and intellectually wholesome.

 - Side note:  One of these Liberal Goblin Blue Checks tried to get me fired.  We all had a good laugh about it and after 10 minutes of clowning on the person we went about our business.  We have bigger fish to fry.

Here's what it costs to send your (white) child to Grace Church School, where he, she, or xir can learn that white people are bad, and it's important to "undo history".  You also learn that math is biased, and that Individualism is a "characteristic of white supremacy":

Amazing.

I wouldn't go there for free, nor would I work there for any amount of money.

A NYC Father Pulls the $54,000 PLUG on SJW School

I saw this in the Substack community.  This is how a parent should react to the CRT SJW stupidity at school - a place where a student is supposed to be taught useful things, not flooded with Social Justice Hackery.

The irony is that Brearley School costs $54,000 a year.  The wealthy white upper east side private schools in Manhattan are prime grifting locations for the Education School midwits who prey upon white guilt.  I admit, I respect their grift gangster.  It's brilliant.  They don't come to the Bad Neighborhood where I work.  Let's just say the available pool of dollars is a lot smaller.

This letter is how parents should react.  They don't because they're afraid of:

  • The blue check mob.
  • An SJW calling them 'racist'.
  • Their child not getting into a 'good college'.
  • Losing status.
  • Their snooty white liberal friends' scorn.
  • Breaking the cycle and getting out of the comfort zone.

Perhaps, as mentioned at the top of Bari Weiss' page, the dam is breaking.  Only time will tell.



April 13, 2021

Dear Fellow Brearley Parents,

Our family recently made the decision not to reenroll our daughter at Brearley for the 2021-22 school year. She has been at Brearley for seven years, beginning in kindergarten. In short, we no longer believe that Brearley’s administration and Board of Trustees have any of our children’s best interests at heart. Moreover, we no longer have confidence that our daughter will receive the quality of education necessary to further her development into a critically thinking, responsible, enlightened, and civic minded adult. I write to you, as a fellow parent, to share our reasons for leaving the Brearley community but also to urge you to act before the damage to the school, to its community, and to your own child's education is irreparable.

It cannot be stated strongly enough that Brearley’s obsession with race must stop. It should be abundantly clear to any thinking parent that Brearley has completely lost its way. The administration and the Board of Trustees have displayed a cowardly and appalling lack of leadership by appeasing an anti-intellectual, illiberal mob, and then allowing the school to be captured by that same mob. What follows are my own personal views on Brearley's antiracism initiatives, but these are just a handful of the criticisms that I know other parents have expressed.

I object to the view that I should be judged by the color of my skin. I cannot tolerate a school that not only judges my daughter by the color of her skin, but encourages and instructs her to prejudge others by theirs. By viewing every element of education, every aspect of history, and every facet of society through the lens of skin color and race, we are desecrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and utterly violating the movement for which such civil rights leaders believed, fought, and died.

I object to the charge of systemic racism in this country, and at our school. Systemic racism, properly understood, is segregated schools and separate lunch counters. It is the interning of Japanese and the exterminating of Jews. Systemic racism is unequivocally not a small number of isolated incidences over a period of decades. Ask any girl, of any race, if they have ever experienced insults from friends, have ever felt slighted by teachers or have ever suffered the occasional injustice from a school at which they have spent up to 13 years of their life, and you are bound to hear grievances, some petty, some not. We have not had systemic racism against Blacks in this country since the civil rights reforms of the 1960s, a period of more than 50 years. To state otherwise is a flat-out misrepresentation of our country's history and adds no understanding to any of today's societal issues. If anything, longstanding and widespread policies such as affirmative action, point in precisely the opposite direction.

I object to a definition of systemic racism, apparently supported by Brearley, that any educational, professional, or societal outcome where Blacks are underrepresented is prima facie evidence of the aforementioned systemic racism, or of white supremacy and oppression. Facile and unsupported beliefs such as these are the polar opposite to the intellectual and scientific truth for which Brearley claims to stand. Furthermore, I call bullshit on Brearley's oft-stated assertion that the school welcomes and encourages the truly difficult and uncomfortable conversations regarding race and the roots of racial discrepancies.

I object to the idea that Blacks are unable to succeed in this country without aid from government or from whites. Brearley, by adopting critical race theory, is advocating the abhorrent viewpoint that Blacks should forever be regarded as helpless victims, and are incapable of success regardless of their skills, talents, or hard work. What Brearley is teaching our children is precisely the true and correct definition of racism.

I object to mandatory anti-racism training for parents, especially when presented by the rent-seeking charlatans of Pollyanna. These sessions, in both their content and delivery, are so sophomoric and simplistic, so unsophisticated and inane, that I would be embarrassed if they were taught to Brearley kindergarteners. They are an insult to parents and unbecoming of any educational institution, let alone one of Brearley's caliber.

I object to Brearley’s vacuous, inappropriate, and fanatical use of words such as “equity,” “diversity” and “inclusiveness.” If Brearley’s administration was truly concerned about so-called “equity,” it would be discussing the cessation of admissions preferences for legacies, siblings, and those families with especially deep pockets. If the administration was genuinely serious about “diversity,” it would not insist on the indoctrination of its students, and their families, to a single mindset, most reminiscent of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Instead, the school would foster an environment of intellectual openness and freedom of thought. And if Brearley really cared about “inclusiveness,” the school would return to the concepts encapsulated in the motto “One Brearley,” instead of teaching the extraordinarily divisive idea that there are only, and always, two groups in this country: victims and oppressors.

l object to Brearley’s advocacy for groups and movements such as Black Lives Matter, a Marxist, anti family, heterophobic, anti-Asian and anti-Semitic organization that neither speaks for the majority of the Black community in this country, nor in any way, shape or form, represents their best interests.

I object to, as we have been told time and time again over the past year, that the school’s first priority is the safety of our children. For goodness sake, Brearley is a school, not a hospital! The number one priority of a school has always been, and always will be, education. Brearley’s misguided priorities exemplify both the safety culture and “cover-your-ass” culture that together have proved so toxic to our society and have so damaged the mental health and resiliency of two generations of children, and counting.

I object to the gutting of the history, civics, and classical literature curriculums. I object to the censorship of books that have been taught for generations because they contain dated language potentially offensive to the thin-skinned and hypersensitive (something that has already happened in my daughter's 4th grade class). I object to the lowering of standards for the admission of students and for the hiring of teachers. I object to the erosion of rigor in classwork and the escalation of grade inflation. Any parent with eyes open can foresee these inevitabilities should antiracism initiatives be allowed to persist.

We have today in our country, from both political parties, and at all levels of government, the most unwise and unvirtuous leaders in our nation’s history. Schools like Brearley are supposed to be the training grounds for those leaders. Our nation will not survive a generation of leadership even more poorly educated than we have now, nor will we survive a generation of students taught to hate its own country and despise its history.

Lastly, I object, with as strong a sentiment as possible, that Brearley has begun to teach what to think, instead of how to think. I object that the school is now fostering an environment where our daughters, and our daughters’ teachers, are afraid to speak their minds in class for fear of “consequences.” I object that Brearley is trying to usurp the role of parents in teaching morality, and bullying parents to adopt that false morality at home. I object that Brearley is fostering a divisive community where families of different races, which until recently were part of the same community, are now segregated into two. These are the reasons why we can no longer send our daughter to Brearley.

Over the past several months, I have personally spoken to many Brearley parents as well as parents of children at peer institutions. It is abundantly clear that the majority of parents believe that Brearley’s antiracism policies are misguided, divisive, counterproductive and cancerous. Many believe, as I do, that these policies will ultimately destroy what was until recently, a wonderful educational institution. But as I am sure will come as no surprise to you, given the insidious cancel culture that has of late permeated our society, most parents are too fearful to speak up.

But speak up you must. There is strength in numbers and I assure you, the numbers are there. Contact the administration and the Board of Trustees and demand an end to the destructive and anti-intellectual claptrap known as antiracism. And if changes are not forthcoming then demand new leadership. For the sake of our community, our city, our country and most of all, our children, silence is no longer an option.

Respectfully,

Andrew Gutmann

"But speak up you must."  Yes.  Good for Mr. Gutmann, and hopefully more people will push back against this nonsense.  If the hyper elite start pushing back, the Woke Industrial Complex loses a lot of power ... and grifting money.
