Which is more consequential: CRT, CIT or CST

Which is more consequential? Critical Race Theory, Critical Ideology Theory or Critical Strata Theory? All are cross-disciplinary intellectual and social movement of  scholars and activists, in the case of CRT, who examine the intersection of class and  law in the US and challenge  mainstream American liberal approaches to racial justice, while blatantly that the Biden Crime Bill codified into law institutional racisms, that progressive policies enabled Black Genocide and led the African American nuclear family join the Seat Turtles in the endangered species list.

For Example, In a LinkedIn post, David E Kelly, a typical defender of Critical Race Theory asks the following rhetorical questions:

Who held us in chains?

Who stripped us of our language

Who beat us to a pulp

Who made us angry

Who raped our great grandmothers

Who made us hate ourselves

Who ripped us apart

who slew our leaders

Who denied us of our civil rights and freedom

Who imprisoned millions of us

Who stole our inventions, patents, trademarks and copyrights

Who appropriates our culture to rob us of our wealth

who strikes millions with poverty

Who denies us justice

Who Lies constantly to absolve themselves from guilt

Who continues to live in denial

Now tell us why shouldn't #CriticalRaceTheory be taught

The reasons used by Kelly to justify, or rationalize the study of Critical Race Theory reads more like a pity party - something that every single group has gone through since Cain murdered Abel out of jealousy. While there is nothing wrong with opinions, when passing judgment we have the obligation to present a logical argument for our case. Not unlike what our Founding Fathers enumerated in the Declaration of Independence,. For example, Rohingyas have often been called the most persecuted minority in the world, unable to claim citizenship in Myanmar (where about 1.1m of them live in Rakhine), or in any other country. Arkam and Ashan are but two of the growing number of Rohingyas fleeing persecution in Myanmar to reach Malaysia, Indonesia or Thailan

Jewish and Christian people in some Muslim countries

Albinos in Sub-Saharan Africa

Native Americans in the USA, Still largely in reservation lands with few natural resources

Muslim populations in China

Kurds in Turkey, Syria and Iraq

Women and girls in much of Africa, the Middle-East and Asia

In the case of  Critical Ideology Theory - CIT,  it aims to examine the intersection of ideology and law in the United States and to challenge progressives &  mainstream media approaches to social justice, which has led to the Perverted Blackstone Ratio:  Better to risk setting 100 guilty liberals free than to risk setting free one innocent conservative.  Why Why Dinesh D'Souza and Martha Stuart went to jail, but even though, Obama knew, Clinton knew, Biden knew, Comey knew., Brennan knew, Clapper knew, McCabe knew, Strzok knew, Schiff knew, the Ohrs knew, theFBI knew, the DOJ knew, the CIA knew, the 17 Intelligence Agencies State knew, Trump was innocent, yet they smeared and spied on him. The worst scandal in nation's history, but nobody has been held accountable

In the case of Critical Strata Theory - CST, it seeks to examine the intersection of class and law in the United States and to challenge mainstream media & liberal approaches to class justice:  The class that commands the most resources wins;  We all know the drill, the powerful can afford the best attorneys in the planet and can buy experts that testify for the defendant.  Whereas if the accused is poor or middle class, regardless of guilt or innocence, there are simply not enough resources to fight off the powerful.  Why Hunter Biden is roaming free, but John Does is rotting in jail

Ethnic Studies is Just Glorified Grievances Studies & Antithetical to Civics Education

According to the LA Times, "California is deleting the often-used In Lak’Ech affirmation from its model ethnic studies curriculum to settle a lawsuit from a San Diego group that claims the affirmation constitutes an Aztec prayer." Why does it take a lawsuit? Progressives encourage students to pray to ancient gods, but not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They encourage the edification of other cultures but balk at the notion of American Exceptionalism. Ethnics Studies is just Grievances Studies and not only a drain on the budget, but it is prioritized over other subjects, like STEM and is antithetical to Civics Education

Cancel Culture is Not a New Construct - It's Been used to Impose a Different Worldview

Cancel culture is not new.  It has been used for generations to impose a different world view.  In the biblical Book of Genesis, Cain and Abel are the first sons of Adam and Eve. Cain, the firstborn was a farmer, and his brother Abel was a shepherd. The brothers made sacrifices to God, but God favored Abel's sacrifice instead of Cain's. Cain then murdered Abel out of jealousy, whereupon God punished Cain by condemning him to a life of wandering. 

Chuck Schumer & the killing fields

Chuck Schumer, the Senate Majority Leader has scheduled a vote for Monday night on the   “Women’s Health Protection Act.” - euphemism for legally killing the unborn.  This legislation goes way beyond codifying Roe v. Wade into federal law – which itself would be horrible. It starts by legalizing lethal violence against unborn children, for any reason, at any time, at taxpayers expense  The law would also allow killing children with disabilities, permit partial birth abortion… and nullify all existing pro-life legislation in every state. 

This after Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization threatens  overturn Roe v. Wade, . 

Sen. Schumer is under heavy pressure from the Unborn killing  lobby. They are freaking out, knowing the Supreme Court could soon rule in favor of protecting vulnerable mothers and children. They also know the coming midterm elections could be a wipeout. For example, ABC News reports that "Abortions in Texas fell by 60% in the first month under the most restrictive abortion law in the U.S. in decades, according to new data."  One could, using the same data, report the following:  "Killing on the unborn in Texas, fell by 60% in the first month under the most restrictive abortion law in the U.S. in decades, according to new data."

So they want to rally the hard-left base inside the Democratic Party. But this also means that Democratic senators running for re-election in competitive states like New Hampshire, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada will be forced to publicly affirm not only their strident support for killing innocent children at nine months – but also eliminating even the most commonsense pro-life protections passed in the states. 

Should the legislation pass, in addition to codifying legal abortion into federal law, it would torch pro-life parental consent and parental notification laws all across the country. Parents will be locked out, and forbidden to know if their own daughters are being pressured into an abortion or planning one. 

Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats have ignored the clear message of the shocking 2021 elections in Virginia, when mothers and fathers stepped up and demanded that their government not undermine their role as parents. 

Next Monday, Schumer will put his fellow Democrats on the record.  

 What will they do? 

What will you do?

Domestic violence in Muslim Communities

Three women were beheaded last week in Alawdin area of Kabul, according to #KavianPress. The incident took place near the Taliban intelligence center. The families of the beheaded women have been threatened with death if they provide details to the media. Sadly,  all the so-called scholarly papers available conclude that violence against women in Muslim communities is no different than any other   

Most reports conclude that although completely accurate numbers are probably not available, researchers generally agree that among ethnic minority groups in the United States, Blacks are the most likely to experience domestic violence followed by Hispanics and then Whites.  In 1965 25% of African American children were raised fatherless.  Today is up to 75% and soon The African American nuclear family may join the Seat Turtles in the most endangered species list

Not a trivial matter:  According to fathers.com – 71% of high school dropouts are fatherless; fatherless children have more trouble academically, scoring poorly on tests of reading, mathematics, and thinking skills; children from father-absent homes are more likely to be truant from school, more likely to be excluded from school, more likely to leave school at age 16, and less likely to attain academic and professional qualifications in adulthood.

Researchers don't seem to be interested into the question of domestic violence in Muslim communities.  What is clear is that Muslim women by western standards are subject to abuse in very high numbers, but most of the victims may disagree that what they are exposed to is domestic violence. Such as a slap in the face, verbal abuse or depriving them of their physical freedom for misbehaving.

Several honor killings have been documented in the United States in recent years. As of 2012 there is no central agency that collects data across all jurisdictions in regards to honor violence in the United States. There is reluctance among some organizations to label events as honor killings to avoid stigmatizing Muslim and Arab cultures. They don't seem to mind stigmatizing African Americans or Hispanics

Happy Lupercalia or Happy Valentines?

 Seems like everybody is jumping on the Saint Valentine's bandwagon.  From PBS, to the Biden Administration to The New Yorker.  Or is it Lupercalia?  St. Valentine’s Day started as a Catholic holiday honoring two men named Valentine who were martyred in consecutive years during the Roman festival of Lupercalia - a bloody, violent and perverse pagan celebration including animal sacrifice and random coupling under the guise of “love.” 

Democrats in Congress Celebrating Infanticide

One Saint Valentine was supposedly a Roman priest who performed secret weddings against the wishes of the authorities in the third century. Imprisoned in the home of a noble, he healed his captor's blind daughter, causing the whole household to convert to Christianity and sealing his Before being tortured and decapitated on February 14, he sent the girl a note signed “Your Valentine.”  Others says St. Valentine was a Roman priest and physician who suffered martyrdom during the persecution of Christians by the emperor Claudius II Gothicus about 270. He was buried on the Via Flaminia, and Pope Julius I reportedly built a basilica over his grave. Other narratives identify him as the bishop of Terni, Italy, who was martyred, apparently also in Rome, and whose relics were later taken to Terni.  Whether two Valentines, or one.  While details are vague, the common understanding is that the Catholic holiday was intended to celebrate true love in marriage.

At the end of the 5th century, Pope Gelasius I forbid the celebration of Lupercalia and is sometimes attributed with replacing it with St. Valentine's Day.  According to Catholic Online,  Pope Saint Valentine, officially known as Saint Valentine of Rome, a third-century Roman saint is widely celebrated on February 14 commonly associated with courtly love to  celebrate and to honor true love in marriage

"Although not much of St. Valentine's life is reliably known, and whether or not the stories involve two different saints by the same name is also not officially decided, it is highly agreed that St. Valentine was martyred and then buried on the Via Flaminia to the north of Rome.

In 1969, the Roman Catholic Church removed St. Valentine from the General Roman Calendar, because so little is known about him. However, the church still recognizes him as a saint, listing him in the February 14 spot of Roman Martyrolgy."

So, what is the difference between Lupercalia Love and Saint Valentine's love? 1 Corinthians  12:31—13:13 tells us exactly what Saint Valentine's love is:

13 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a miror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.o only one person.om via beheading on February 14

Clearly the "love" the New Yorker describes In the Seduction of Ulysses, is not the love Corinthians describes.  More like Lupercalia Love:

It writes:  "Since its publication, a century ago, James Joyce's epic has acquired a fiercesome reputation for difficulty.  But its great subject, sappy as it may seem, is love."

PBS has been on the shiny new #DIE - Diversity, Inclusion and Equity.  But the Church invented it 2000 years ago.  The old worn out DIE encourages everyone to share his or her gift and develop it to the maximum.  The new shiny PBS DIE wants the maximum benefit for the least effort.  James Joyce exemplifies the old DIE with his book Finnigans Wake's  character HCE:  Here Come Everybody.  The New Yorker Piece reminds me of 1 Corinthians 1:27:  "But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong."   Or even King Solomon: the wisest man to ever live, builder of the temple, beautiful poet and national leader--he was a man who seemed to have it all then he turned against God.  In Kings 11:4 we read: 

When Solomon was old his wives had turned his heart to strange gods,

and his heart was not entirely with the LORD, his God,

as the heart of his father David had been.

By adoring Astarte, the goddess of the Sidonians,

and Milcom, the idol of the Ammonites,

Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD;

he did not follow him unreservedly as his father David had done.

Solomon then built a high place to Chemosh, the idol of Moab,

and to Molech, the idol of the Ammonites,

on the hill opposite Jerusalem.

He did the same for all his foreign wives

who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

The LORD, therefore, became angry with Solomon,

because his heart was turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel,

who had appeared to him twice

(for though the LORD had forbidden him 

this very act of following strange gods,

Solomon had not obeyed him).

Reads like the transformation of Kings Solomon is what the elites of today are going through

What's in your house: Lupercallia or Saint Valentines"

Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization May overturn RoeVWade

In the coming months the Supreme Court of the United States will take up Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which the pro-infanticide group Center for Reproductive Rights says In the most consequential abortion rights case in generations. On December 1, 2021, the Center for Reproductive Rights argued at the U.S. Supreme Court to defend the right to abortion, a right recognized in the landmark Roe v. Wade decision in 1973. In the case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Supreme Court heard Mississippi’s appeal of a lower court ruling that struck down as unconstitutional the state’s law banning abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

The case has the potential to overturn Roe v. Wade. In essence, it will make abortion a state-based issue.  In Blue States like California, Oregon, Washington. New York & New Jersey,  not much changes, argues  Dr. Ben Carson, founder of American Cornerstone Institute

Dr. Carson says that while the overturning of Roe v. Wade may seem like a final victory in the fight for the preservation of human life, it is not   He goes on to argue that what is needed is a culture shift. Which is why  Carson has started an affinity group just for that 

Collage showing Democrats In Congress Celebrating Infanticide

Dr. Carson says that he feels  like our culture has forgotten—or ignored—some very important and basic lessons when it comes to the development of human life.  He argues that "our society has been infected by an anti-life ideology, treating its most vulnerable members as disposable objects. Abortion that was once thought of as a last resort in a medical emergency has become the new normal."

As a surgeon, Dr. Carsom adds, " I have operated on infants pre-birth. I can assure you that they are very much alive. Medicine tells us that life begins at the moment of conception. It also tells us when an unborn baby develops a heartbeat, brainwaves, and nervous system. Yet, despite all of this, the unborn are not treated as though they are alive or even human. Life is a precious gift that has been given to us from our creator. No person is disposable, and every life is precious according to Him.  I believe that everyone deserves life, even those who have been denied this right by our society. I believe that together we can make a difference and bring dignity and a voice to the unborn. I also believe that I’m not alone in this belief."

The Culture change Dr. Carson refers to  is  to build a society that values life and would like all other like-minded individuals to review the pro-life pledge he has created and commit to fighting for the unborn

The first step is clearly stating what we believe and what we are willing to do to protect the lives of the unborn. Will you join me today and stand up for those who cannot do it for themselves?  

US Attorney's Office Charge Two Hawaii Democrats Legislators with Accepting Kickbacks

The United States Attorney's Office District of Hawaii announced Tuesday Feb 8, 2022 announced that it is charging two Hawaii Legislators, Jamie Kalani English and Ty Cullen with one count of honest services wire fraud and it expects  Court appearances for both defendants  shortly. 

The defendants are charged with defrauding the :citizens of the State of Hawaii of their right to honest and faithful services as elected legislators through bribery and concealment of material information." 

English is a former state senator and Senate Majority Leader who served the 7th Senatorial District from approximately 2000 until 2021. The charge alleges that on or before  2015, English received benefits such as cash, hotel rooms and other bribes to take official action that would benefit the person providing the bribes. In one instance involving the 2020 state legislative session, English agreed to introduce a bill and also to kill bills in exchange for cash. The gifts and benefits English received totaled in excess of $18,800, which he also failed to report" 

Cullen’s has represented House District 39 since 2013, and serves as Vice Chair of the House Committee on Finance. 

The charge alleges that beginning in 2014, Cullen accepted benefits and gifts such as casino chips and cash intended to influence his official actions as a legislator. The Charge specifically  alleges four cash payments totaling $23,000 from September 2019 to March 2020. 

Accirfing to United States Attorney Connors: “Ensuring that government officials provide services free of corrupt practices that violate federal law is a critical priority. We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to investigate and prosecute government officials who use their positions for illegal enrichment.” 

FBI Special Agent I'm Charge Merrill stated: 

“The FBI makes corruption investigations a priority in Hawaii and will pursue alleged corruption by public officials such as Mr. English and Mr. Cullen to the fullest extent of the law,” 

If convicted, each defendant faces a sentence of up to 20 years imprisonment, and a fine of up to $250,000.

The Catholic Vote Sues the Biden Administration over lack of transparency in managing Texas Border

Last September Catholic Vote  submitted a “FOIA” (Freedom of Information Act) request for copies of all communications between federal government agencies and Catholic-affiliated charities and organizations on the Texas border. The Act requires the federal government to respond and disclose these communications in a timely manner.  

Source:  Wikipedia

After six months, the  Biden administration has refused to respond. So Catholic Vote  partnered with Judicial Watch and filed federal lawsuits against the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Health and Human Services.

Catholic Vote Brian Burch says that the Biden administration’s lack of transparency and obstruction forced us to file these federal lawsuits. American Catholics deserve to know the full extent of our federal government's role in funding and coordinating with Catholic Church affiliated agencies at the border, and what role these agencies played in the record surge of illegal immigrants over the past year. 

Last summer record numbers of migrants were surging toward the United States. The Biden administration was blocking media access while vulnerable migrant families and children were packed in holding facilities, sleeping in squalor under highways in camps, or worse.     

Catholic Vote wants to know: What role are Catholic charities, dioceses, or Catholic-affiliated relief organizations playing in this effort? Are they helping house migrants in homes, hotels, or shelters? Are they paying for transportation, flights, buses, or other services – with government money? 

Is what they are doing legal? 

And is it the right thing to do?  

The first FOIA request to DHS includes all communications between the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol and any of the following: 

• The Diocese of Brownsville (San Juan, Texas) 

• Bishop Daniel E. Flores in his capacity as Bishop of the Diocese of Brownsville, Texas 

• Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley (“CCRGV”) 

• Sister Norma Pimentel in her capacity as the Executive Director of CCRGV 

• The Humanitarian Respite Center in McAllen, Texas. 

The second FOIA request to HHS includes all communications between the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops regarding the following: 

• Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley (“CCRGV”) 

• Sister Norma Pimentel in her capacity as the Executive Director of CCRGV 

• The Humanitarian Respite Center in McAllen, Texas 

Catholic Vote and the Cotobuzz Journal agree; Catholics – and all Americans – deserve to know what’s going on at our border.  

Catholic Vote goes on to say; 

We know every person, regardless of their legal status, deserves to be treated with dignity.  

But that’s just it: Our border is in chaos. Women and young girls are being trafficked and raped. Dangerous drugs are flowing into our country, while reports suggest border enforcement officials are overwhelmed……and Catholic-affiliated agencies are reportedly working directly with the federal government.  

Are they helping? How so? What exactly is happening? 

Again: Catholics deserve to know. 

our southern border is a humanitarian disaster, and something needs to change. 

Biden Commits to Total Racial Equality by His Third Term

The Palestinian Wasp reports that Joe Biden is planning to make a major announcement on race equality to a joint session of Congress in the upcoming weeks - The Wasp has obtained a draft copy which reads in part and similar to John F. Kennedy's speech:  " if we are to win the battle that is now going on around the world between freedom and tyranny, the dramatic achievements in race relations which occurred in recent weeks should have made clear to all of us, as did Sputnik in 1957, the impact of this adventure on the minds of men everywhere... Now it is time to take longer strides—time for this nation to take a clearly leading role in race relations, which in many ways may hold the key to our future on Earth. ...we have never made the national decisions or marshaled the national resources required for such leadership. We have never specified long-range goals on an urgent time schedule... race relations is open to us now; and our eagerness to share its meaning is not governed by the efforts of others. We go into this  because whatever mankind must undertake, free men must fully share... I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving total racial equity by the end of my third term. No single race project...will be more exciting, or more impressive to mankind, or more important...and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish...” -President Joe Biden, 2022

Just last week schools across America implemented BLM Week Of Action calling for disruption of Western Nuclear Family, a key element of Biden's goal of racial equity.  All this All comes just days after the White House, Democrats, MSM & Big Tech celebrated RoeVsWade, which led to Black Genocide: millions of preborns are being killed,  mostly those of color.  It also led to the extinction of the African American nuclear family: in 1965 25% of African-American kids were raised fatherless.  Today it is up to 75% & soon will join the Sea Turtles in the endangered species list. 

To obtain total racial equity, the Biden signed an Executive order to paint the White House black, known to be known hereafter as the Black House.  Biden also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)  with Planned Parenthood to increase the total number of White preborns killed, until a White Genocide is reached, where white preborns killed are comparable to those of color  Biden has ordered Health & Human Services to draft a plan for the  extinction of the non-Black Nuclear Family by giving white mothers a $50, 000 bonus if they divorce after their third child.

According to Dr. Michael Kaliszewski  "It is estimated that there are 5.6 million Native Americans (classified as American Indian and Alaska Native alone or in combination with one or more other races) living in the United States, comprising 1.7% of the total population.1 While Native Americans account for only a small part of the U.S. population, these people experience much higher rates of substance abuse compared to other racial and ethnic groups."  Some of the factors that contribute to the increased risk of addiction among Native Americans include:1-2 Historical trauma &Violence (including high levels of gang violence, domestic violence, and sexual assault).

Biden has ordered HHS to work with historians and the media to rewrite history showing all races have been oppressed since Adam and eve. Also,  Native American teens will be required to take a one-year survival course in Chicag, Los Angeles or New York.  The key element is that HHS will partner with Hunter Biden to  supply alcohol and drugs to white  students until the drug use is similar across all ethnic backgrounds

This week, the  Biden Admin announced funds for a turn-key distribution network managed by Hunter Biden to hand out crack pipes to crackheds in order to "advance racial equity." According to Times News "The application window for the $30 million “harm reduction” program grant closed Monday. The three-year grant program was funded through President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan, the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill pushed through by Democrats in March of last year. It specifically outlines syringes and “safe smoking kits/supplies” as an approved use of federal funds"

According to Biden "it looks like a jungle out there ," referring to the NFL and echoing the words he used when he argued for passage of the Biden Crime Bill. Initial proposals include:  Require all black players to go vegan, to have black players play with their hands tied behind their back and ban white players to play quarterback.  Biden just signed a MOU with the NFL to achieve racial parity: while Blacks make up only 24% of the US  population close to 60% are represented in the NFL, this is totally unacceptable," he said.

A similar agreement is being worked out with the NBA.  If you thought the NFL was racist, you should see the NBA.  According to racial equality activist Richard Lapchick, the NBA in 2020 was composed of 74.2 percent black players, 16.9 percent white players, 2.2 percent Latino players of any race, and 0.4 percent Asian players. There were 6.3 percent of the players classified as "other" races.  Since white men can not jump, The Biden Administration is proposing to lower the hoops to a maximum height of 5 feet. and not allow players over 6 feet tall.  Other ideas are in the process.

With these actions, President Biden repeated:   I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving total racial equity by the end of my third term. No single race project...will be more exciting, or more impressive to mankind, or more important...and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish...” 

Why is it the FBI singles out LinkedIn and not Pols, Media or High Tech?

Updated February 4, 2022

Camas, WA - In prepared  remarks on Threats Posed By the Chinese Government, on  January 31, 2022 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library FBI Director Christopher Wray took the unusual step of calling out out LinkedIn saying:  "Now, as an aside, I would be remiss if I didn’t note that we see an awful lot of Chinese intelligence outreach on social media, especially on #LinkedIn" 

FBI Press Release announcing Director Christopher Wray remarks at Reagan Presidential Library 

Why is it that FBI Christopher Wray on threats posed by Chinese Government was compelled to single out #LinkedIn. Is it because 76% of LinkedIn’s users are outside the U.S.? or because 59.9% of LinkedIn’s users are between 25 and 34 years old? Perhaps because while the U.S. is LinkedIn’s biggest market at 174M users, the network has gained traction around the world.? What about the fact that 57% of LinkedIn users are men, and 43% are women or that Bill Gates penned 50% of the 10 most engaging LinkedIn articles in November 2020 or the fact that, Gates often appears in the list of most engaging articles shared monthly in the LinkedIn Water Cooler Series? Because Gates has been more vocal about COVID than Dr. Faucci? Gates in fact thinks that Climate Change can be worse than COVID-19. "I realize that it’s hard to think about a problem like climate change right now. When disaster strikes, it is human nature to worry only about meeting our most immediate needs, especially when the disaster is as bad as COVID-19" Gates write. Gates has also spoken about depopulation to the point that Gates' apologists claimed that he really did not mean to say: "The world today has 6.8 billion people," .. That's headed up to about 9 billion. Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent." Gates has failed to condemn Black Genocide, where millions of preborns are killed, mostly African American

Or Perhaps because Microsoft owns LinkedIn? You see, last year, Microsoft's Bing suspended auto suggest function in China at government's behest.

Yet Pew Research found that most people have multiple social media accounts. 90% of LinkedIn users, for example, use Facebook. 94% use YouTube, while 57% use Instagram.  While Edison  found that 64% of whites in the US use LinkedIn more than 16% of Hispanics. African Americans were at 6% while others were at 14%.  But Wray  fails to mention Tweeter, Facebook, Google, politicians or the media.. Consider that 1000s of Google employees walked out to protest the company working with the US government, but the same people  remained apathetic as Google continues to do work with company which directly benefits the Chinese Communists 

According to Pew Research a small number of prolific Twitter users, mostly Democrat try to drown out the majority. They conscientiously use misinformation to promote their agenda. 70% or more of these falsehoods are likely to be retweeted:  the bigger the cognitive dissonance, the more retweets. 

Pew Research on Twitter Users

As if that was not enough 52% of adults get their news on #Facebook, while 87% of #Twitter users also use Facebook.  Twitter promotes Silo building then uses flags as a safety measure and or call to action. The Wall Street Editorial Board writes: 

 It’s been clear for some time that the tech giants look to government to determine what coronavirus-related speech to allow. YouTube’s misinformation policy bans content that contradicts the evolving guidance of “health authorities.” Facebook stopped blocking some commentary on the lab-leak theory of the virus’s origins only after President Biden ordered an investigation into the possibility.

Public-private coordination is not in itself sinister. The government can be an important source of information, and most people would agree that it’s not an abuse of Facebook’s authority to suppress, say, fraudulent medical advice that goes viral.n ordered an investigation into the possibility. 

Yet, while Twitter has banned President Trump for life, it continues to allows totalitarian regime representatives, such as Chinese Government Spokesperson Lijian Zhao @zlj517 even though he blamed the CIA for planting the COVID-19 virus 

Collage of Lijian Zhao Twitter Posts related to COVID misinformation

Meanwhile Facebook monetizes hate and division, according to whistleblower Frances Haugen.  We also know that Facebook fact-checkers are not checking facts but promoting an agenda.  And of course, there is Facebook and the rest of Big Tech censoring news items that do not fit their agenda such as this one. "On Thursday, Facebook decided its users should not be able to share a New York Post article about the property-buying habits of one of the founders of Black Lives Matter" Or  as the Posts's Devine wrote:  "In case there was any doubt that Facebook and Twitter are corruptly partisan, the social media giants censored The Post’s story Wednesday on Hunter Biden’s emails suggesting he took cash for access to his ­father, Joe Biden."  A typical excuse for this gross abuse of power, or online censorship is  that "legal expert agree, its no illegal."   You may recall that killing Jews in Nazi Germany was legal.

Then there's the deep political connection.  Senator Diane Feinstein had a Chinese spy on her employ for twenty five years, while Fang Fang targeted California Politicians, including representative Eric Swalwell & Barbara Boxer. Senator Ted Cruz told Sunday Morning Futures  Maria Bartiromo " ‘The Democratic Party today is funded by Big Tech and giant corporations which are in bed with Chinese communists’"

The Story of Saint Valentine

Camas, WA:  St. Valentine’s Day started as a Catholic holiday honoring two men named Valentine who were martyred in consecutive years during the Roman festival of Lupercalia - a bloody, violent and perverse pagan celebration including animal sacrifice and random coupling under the guise of “love.” 

At the end of the 5th century, Pope Gelasius I forbid the celebration of Lupercalia and is sometimes attributed with replacing it with St. Valentine's Day.  According to Catholic Online,  Pope Saint Valentine, officially known as Saint Valentine of Rome, a third-century Roman saint is widely celebrated on February 14 commonly associated with courtly love to  celebrate and to honor true love in marriage

"Although not much of St. Valentine's life is reliably known, and whether or not the stories involve two different saints by the same name is also not officially decided, it is highly agreed that St. Valentine was martyred and then buried on the Via Flaminia to the north of Rome.

In 1969, the Roman Catholic Church removed St. Valentine from the General Roman Calendar, because so little is known about him. However, the church still recognizes him as a saint, listing him in the February 14 spot of Roman Martyrolgy."

Father Jim based his Sunday Homely this week on 1 Corinthians 12-31  below.

He suggests people read the paragraph replacing love with their own name and see what they think:

1 Cor 12:31—13:13 

"Brothers and sisters:

Strive eagerly for the greatest spiritual gifts.

But I shall show you a still more excellent way. 

If I speak in human and angelic tongues,

but do not have love,

I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal.

And if I have the gift of prophecy,

and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge;

if I have all faith so as to move mountains,

but do not have love, I am nothing.

If I give away everything I own,

and if I hand my body over so that I may boast,

but do not have love, I gain nothing"

We Label Everything Why Not Historians, MSM & Big Tech?

Congress loves to control everything that touches our bodies, from vitamins, what we eat, the mattress we sleep on, our pet's food and on and on ad nauseum. Why not label historians, thinkers, main stream media and Big Tech? 

Vitamin D, calcium, iron, and potassium are required to be on the food label or mattresses. Under the law, the label for a mattress must include: Company name of the importer. Composition of the filling materials (Weight %). Uniform Registry Number (URN) and a statement indicating that this label should not be removed: “Do Not Remove. Even Pet food labeling is regulated. The federal regulations, enforced by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), establish standards applicable for all animal feeds: proper identification of product, net quantity statement, manufacturer's name and address, and proper listing of ingredients. Predictably, when special interest groups are involved. labeling is not important: Food sold by restaurants, food trucks, delicatessens, or served by airlines are not required to carry bioengineered food labels even if the items are produced with GMOs. Meat, poultry, and egg products are not covered by the labeling law.

The Fair Packaging and Labeling Act of 1967 requires all "consumer commodities be labeled to disclose net contents, identity of commodity, and name and place of business of the product's manufacturer, packer, or distributor. .. The Act authorizes additional regulations where necessary to prevent consumer deception" 

But much more important than what touches our body is what touches our mind! How about new labeling regulation for mainstream media, high tech and historians?

From NPR's Nina Totenberg's reporting on SCOTUS MaskGate, to the Business Insider/CSPAN claim that Historians ranked President Trump among the worst presidents in US History to the coverage of the Covington Kids, The Kyle Rittenhouse Trial, the Russia Hoax, the censoring of Hunter Biden's computer and on and on.

Another Day, Another Fake:  Collage of questionable stories

Consider that according to Pew Research, a small group of prolific Twitter users, mostly Democrat, actively try to drown out the majority of users, their retweets are mostly falsehood, that 52% of  get their news from Facebook and 87% of Tweeter users also use Facebook and your have the perfect storm to regurgitate fake news. 

Why I have proposed the CBJ Pareto Rule of Big Tech:  Big Tech promised to democratize the world by offering free internet.  Instead, it carved out silos where the trivial few try to drown out the many.  Then using deep scanning often in conjunction with  Single Neuron Organism Networks throttles the opposition and uses flags to call to action the prolific Tweeter users

Tweeter Promoting Intellectual Inbreeding as security measure

Add to this that Twitter promotes silo building as a safety measure and that Facebook monetizes hate and division, according to Frances Hugen and now you are talking about intellectual inbreeding.  In a 2009 study, Johnathan Haidt  concluded that liberals are more willing to betray group loyalty, disrespect authority or do something as disgusting as presumably commit voter fraud. Whereas conservatives are less willing to compromise on any of the moral categories.

How about historians like Edward Gibbon who wrote about the Crusades using the AntiCatholic lens. Not unlike the AntiFlag, AntiAnthem, AntiSemite, AntiCatholic, AntiTrump, ProBLM, ProMuslim, ProChina New York Times,  Then there are the AntiCatholic thinkers like Volteaire, Diderot and Hume

So this is a draft of a label requirement for main stream media:

⚠️ the material contained herein is written using the AntiFlag,  AntiAnthem,  AntiSemite,  AntiChristian,  AntiCatholic. AntiTrump. ProBLM, ProMuslim,  ProChina and may not necessarily be accurate.  Any association with NY Times  journalists & the 4th estate is purely coincidental 

Something similar can be required for all social media;

Twitter allows Chinese Spokesperson assert Wuhan Virus was created by the USA

Cancel Culture Has Been used to Impose a Different Worldview for Millena

Cancel culture is not new.  It has been used for generations to impose a different worldview.  In the biblical Book of Genesis, Cain and Abel are the first sons of Adam and Eve. Cain, the firstborn was a farmer, and his brother Abel was a shepherd. The brothers made sacrifices to God, but God favored Abel’s sacrifice instead of Cain’s. Cain then murdered Abel out of jealousy, whereupon God punished Cain by condemning him to a life of wanderingnia

Ethnic Studies is Just Glorified Grievances Studies & Antithetical to Civics Education

According to the LA Times, "California is deleting the often-used In Lak’Ech affirmation from its model ethnic studies curriculum to settle a lawsuit from a San Diego group that claims the affirmation constitutes an Aztec prayer." Why does it take a lawsuit? Progressives encourage students to pray to ancient gods, but not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They encourage the edification of other cultures but balk at the notion of American Exceptionalism. Ethnics Studies is just Grievances Studies and not only a drain on the budget, but it is prioritized over other subjects, like STEM and is antithetical to Civics Education.

The Washington Board of Education adopted a resolution of intent to establish an ethnic studies graduation requirement within the current credit framework (not as an additional credit requirement.) Meaning something else has to give, like Civics classes, or better yet math!

According to Saint Paul Public Schools “Ethnic Studies” is the critical and interdisciplinary study of race, ethnicity, and indigeneity with a focus on the experiences and perspectives of people of color within and beyond the United States. Ethnic studies analyzes the ways in which race and racism have been and continue to be powerful social, cultural, and political forces, and their connections to other axes of stratification, including gender, class, sexuality, and legal status.

Consider that in Illinois circa 2014 watchdog Open the Books found  that for most school districts, pension payments are one of the top give annual expenses, Its founder  Andrejewski asks a rhetorical question.  "Are we going to educate children or provide lavish lifetime benefits for administrators and teachers? There’s not enough taxpayer money to do both. There are 100,846 retirees pulling out of the system and only 162,960 active educators paying into the system. The retirees are pulling out loaves of bread and the current employees are only putting in slices. Sooner or later, the system will run out of bread."

 

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the total number of students transported at taxpayers expense since 1980 has been relatively constant, but the expense per transported student in 1980, on an adjusted basis was $198, but by 2008 it exploded to $854 and  $982 by 2017 while sales of buses increased 45% between 2010 & 2019. 

Ethnic Studies has produced Critical Race Theory and while it claims to have coined the term #DIE - Diversity, Inclusion & Equity, it merely bastardized the term: The Church urges everybody to develop and share their unique God-given gifts, while wokeisim wants maximum benefit for the least effort.

The Church invented DIE.  James Joyce character Here Come Everybody is often used to illustrate the fact, notwithstanding the Church has saints for mixed races, for Native Americans, for Climate Change and my favorite, Saint Drogo, patron saint of coffee and ugly people.  The Church's DIE encourages each individual to work to reach his or her highest potential.  CRT's DIE wants the biggest benefit at the lowest effort.

Here are some of the consequences of the Woke DIE, not including ANTIFA or BLM:  In 1965 25% of African American Children were raised featherless.  Today, its 75%.  Very soon the African American nuclear family will be extinct .  Then there is the #BlackGenocide:  Planned Parenthood kills millions of preborms, mostly African American.  The same people promoting CRT and Ethnic Studies rightly worry about the protection of the seven sea turtles in the endangered list, but do not seem to care about the extinction of the African American family or the Genocide.

Black Genocide

 #DIE  is antithetical to Civics Education. Even  FBI Director Christopher Wray says is a National Security Imperative.  And the is right: The purpose of  civics education is to teach students to work together and take practical action, to contribute to a better society.  Civic education is an important and effective tool that facilitates students to participate in the democratic processes and typically covers Values., Citizenship Education and Nationalism., Human Rights.

Law and Order: Respect For Constituted Authority., Responsible Parenthood., Traffic Regulations., Inter-Personal Relationships., Culture.

 Destruction is fun and easy.  Parents know that children do this everyday..  Construction is a serious job for adults. Ethnic Studies is more like taking a whole & chopping it up.  Or turning #EPluribusUnum & turning it into  #ExUnoPlures.  Might be fun, but does not enable graduates to responsibly participate in the democratic process.

How about replacing Ethnics Studies with Responsible Civic Studies focused on harvesting diversity to make the whole stronger, a look at world history & the United States Exceptionalism for example?  The  Diversity Bandwagon conforms to the Pareto Rule:  Very few of those who extol the virtues of diversity have no clue as to what it takes to harvest the output of a diverse workforce.  It is conflicting, time consuming, frustrating but worthwhile

To enforce Protestant orthodoxy,  for example, England used the same tactics as the #Taliban and the #Chinese during the Cultural Revolution, or the Puritan vanguard whose mission was dedicated to the destruction of an entire world view

Consider the following close paraphrase and where this might have taken place:  "The full thrust of this change in world view was not apparent until  actually controlled the society in which they lived. Once in control they quickly and steadily replace the traditional culture.  Sports, dance, music and games whether practiced by the middle or upper class, all went. Dress, adornment, and hair style for both sexes, the upbringing of children, the conduct of businesses., there was nothing that was not changed.  Marriage became a Civil service no longer performed in church .  Not only Christmas. But Easter & other holy days disappeared from the calendar"

It could be the United States in 2022 under Democrat control

But it is not Cuba 

It's not Venezuela 

It's actually the US in the 16th Century and the close paraphrase is from  Michael Grant's The Last American Puritan

Let's review just a few instances of cancel culture in the United states.

On September 8, 2021 NPR published a piece titled:  Virginia's Massive Robert E. Lee Statue Has Been Removed— was lifted into the air by a crane

On Wednesday, the state of Virginia removed the 12-ton statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee more than 130 years after it was installed in Richmond.

Despite its massive size, it was lifted from its pedestal in one piece and is headed for storage. Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat, was there as the statue came down and appeared pleased by its removal. A crowd also chanted and cheered as the statue of Lee — atop a horse — was lifted into the air by a crane

As soon as Joe Biden was installed President, Democrats pushed for a restoration bill as described by Forbes' Gina Heeb in the piece titled
Democrats Push For Reparations Bill, Testing White House Support

Congressional Democrats renewed their push for a federal study of racial reparations at a committee hearing Wednesday, the latest test of whether President Joe Biden would support compensation to Black Americans for centuries of slavery and systemic racism in the U.S.....
It has garnered the support of more than 170 co-sponsors in Congress, Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, who introduced the bill known as H.R. 40, said at the House Judiciary subcommittee hearing

Then there is Critical Race Theory - CRT including Diversity, Inclusion and Equity.  CRT has spread like leaven and can now be found in public schools, state and federal governments, including the FBI and the military. The latest entry seems to be the Salvation Army.  Seems like an new artifact, but the Church invented #DIE 2000 years ago.  While James Joyce's character Here Come everybody (ECE) points to that fact, the Church has a saint for everybody.  There is my saint.  You know, Saint Drogo, patron saint of coffee and ugly people.  There is a patron saint for mixed races in Saint Martin De Porres or even Saint Francis, patron saint of ecology and animals. Then there is Saint Benedict - protector against evil spirits and protection from the snares of the devil.  But the Woke DIE is not the same as the Church's. The Woke DIE is obsessed with skin color, sexual preference and the most good for the least effort.  The Church asks Christ to help it become more like Him and to accompl;ish all He asks according to the will of the Father.

As a way of comparing the contemporary Cancel Culture, consider Eamon Duffy's Stripping of the Altars: Traditional Religion in England provides a disturbing description of the atrocities perpetrated by those assigned to enforce Protestant orthodoxy including destruction of cultural & religious objects.   Michael Wood, BBC historian and documentary filmmaker compares it to tactics used by the Taliban & the Chinese  Cultural Revolution

The Palestinian Wasp: China Launches New Initiatives to weaken the Church

After WWII Russia tried to stamp out the Catholic Church by killing thousands of priests & believers. But it failed. So it tried infiltrating the Church at all levels. The Church not only survived but the Soviet collapsed. In 1991, the leaders of three of the Union's founding republics declared that the Soviet Union no longer existed, and 11 more republics joined them shortly thereafter. According to the Palestinian Wasp. China sees Christianity as a bigger threat than the United States or Russia and has been augmenting Russia's approach to get rid of the threat and expecting much better results.



The Council on Foreign Relations Eleanor Albert writes:

China has witnessed a religious revival over the past four decades, in particular with a significant increase in Christian believers. The number of Chinese Protestants has grown by an average of 10 percent annually since 1979. By some estimates, China is on track to have the world’s largest population of Christians by 2030. Though the rise of Christianity presents the officially atheist Chinese Communist Party (CCP) with challenges, it also provides new options for improving services, such as health care and education, for an increasingly demanding public. The government recently launched a series of initiatives to further regulate, and at times restrict, Christian adherents.

In 2018, Marco Rubio chaired the Congressional Executive Commission on China'a hearing on the Communist Party's Crackdown on Religion in China

Earlier this month, Xi told a conference in Beijing, described in official reports as the National Work Meeting on Religious Affairs, that all religions in China needed to embrace the Communist Party, expanding on one of his long-held policies

The Wasp reports that China has also  infiltrated the Church at all levels and is funding an unprecedented number of Catholic Universities, media outlets and students such as

 

MSM Attacks on the Church

National Catholic Reporter's Fora X Tang who writes that Pope's comments are about more than pets. They reinforce the church's narrow view on reproduction and marriage. Tang describes self as "a doctoral student in theology and peace studies at the University of Notre Dame. Her research focuses on post-traumatic sacramental theology, Asian American literature and queer theology."

The Wasp says that other degrees being offered by the infiltrated universities include

• Queer theology,
• Expiation Through Child sacrifice
• Polygamy in the age of pet ownership
• Marriage as anachronism

The Wasp is in the process of compiling a list of  degrees being offered by Catholic  Universities favored by China.  Contact the Wasp if you have questions or can offer additional informaiton
