To Dissolve The People And Elect Another

     Those who say that having a problem with a massive influx of immigrants with a high fertility index to a country whose native population is in a population death spiral are “racist” and “paranoid” about being eliminated as a people, might not want to validate the “racists” by… calling for the abolition of their people. The Huffington Post (Germany) put out a piece that was entitled: “Turn around us! Why the German people should be abolished” (trans.).

“The greatest fear of the Germans, however, is the decomposition from within. ‘Umvolkung!’ It whines from thousands of mouths.

“The upright German people suspect the conspiracy of the enemy’s neighbors, which decomposes in the most perfidious way the blond drilled Germany Idyll – because too foul the fences seem to them about the alleged so bear-happy foreign woman .

“Where do these people take so much confidence from? I can not see it anywhere. everything as German as ever . I long for the change!

“If the stinking bloated thoughts of the new Right should now be the “German people” again, it would actually be best to simply exchange it. Attention, Germans! Started to comprehensive change!

“Blacks, browns, yellows, whites, Asians and Arabs, Africans, you people from America, from India, people of all faiths – come to our aid! Flock up and surround us, but thoroughly!” (trans.)

     Such flagellating self-loathing! This isn’t even a mere racial issue, but of a desire to abolish an entire society and history and start at a new woke “year zero”, and frighteningly forshadowed by Berthold Brecht (who himself was quite the Leftist) in the mocking poem “Die Lösung” (The Solution)”.

After the uprising of the 17th June
The Secretary of the Writers Union
Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee
Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government
And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier
In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?

AP Exam Sends Thousands of Years of History Down the Memory Hole

     The College Board, which provides the Advanced Placement Exams that allow high schoolers to earn college credit by successfully passing an exam, has decided to axe over seven thousand years of history and only testing on history since 1450.

“In response to valuable feedback from AP teachers, we’re making changes to AP World History in 2019-20 that better align it with the scope of content that most colleges and universities cover in a single course.

“These changes will help give students more time during the school year to develop understanding through sustained focus on key concepts and practice of essential skills.

“What’s changing, and why?

“Beginning in the 2019-20 school year:

  • The AP World History Exam will assess content only from c. 1450 through the present (Periods 4–6).
  • The exam format and rubrics will stay the same, in alignment with the other two AP history exams.
  • Some content (i.e., world religions) from Periods 1–3 will be reviewed in Periods 4–6.
  • Some content clarifications will be provided.”

     Rather than cover vital history that led to the creation of modern society, they would relegate all history before 1450 to a pre-AP class where schools could teach about ancient civilizations that are foundational for contemporary society. The rise of Christianity and the intellectual/cultural influence of Rome and ancient Greece, as well as the medieval developments after them, are vital to understanding how our own civilization came to be as well as providing a greater intellectual depth—and philosophical counterbalance—to more modern strains of thought.

     Indeed, those who want to control the future must also control the past, and it’s easy to control the past when you toss it into þe olde Memory Hole.

Doom: From Venezuela to Nicaragua (Again)

     The longer doom is delayed, the greater the catastrophe. The end of Venezuela’s hellhole had been predicted for years, and though signs of all seven seals being broken exist in Venezuela, it is far from certain that the end is nigh.

     Like many societies poised for greater hell, hyperinflation is front and center of the warning skeletons in the socialist desert. At least some can fine a useful use for useless money

     One of the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse was Pestilence. And right on queue…

     And as a reminder that a military coup to stop these Revelations of ill portent, the military is forcing people to pay for water… in a socialist paradise where everyone got everything “according to their needs”….

     Going outside the army is problematic, seeing as government censorship is quashing all alternative to coordinate against them…

     Sadly, Venezuela is not a unique phenomena.

Press Nothing For English

     If there is one thing that the U.K. powers that be have made clear, it is that they despise, more than anything, the British peoples. In the not-too-distant future, if you call 999 (U.K. equivalent of America’s 911) and speak English, the police might not bother to ever show up.

“Victims of crime who do not speak English could be given priority by the Metropolitan Police, a senior officer has suggested.

“Deputy Commissioner Craig Mackey said that callers might be denied a personal visit from police unless they are deemed to be sufficiently ‘vulnerable’.

“He said it is ‘absolutely feasible’ that ‘face-to-face’ visits by officers could be reserved for the ‘vulnerable’ – giving examples as those for whom English is not a first language, the elderly and people with learning difficulties.”

     Some… are more equal than others.

     Another “quick takes” on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on.

     The focus this time: How to tell who not to hire.

     First, a little mood music:

California’s Get Out of Jail Card

     California has given a wide swath of criminals a “get out of jail free card” through what it calls a “pretrial diversion”. This consists of a judge determining that a defendant suffers a mental disorder based solely on the word of a “qualified mental health expert” provided by the defense, and that said mental disorder played a significant roll, followed by a not-more-than-two-year treatment, after the defendant must be let off scot-free. The law reads, in part, that pretrial diversion may be granted if:

“The court is satisfied that the defendant suffers from a mental disorder as identified in the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, including, but not limited to, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or post-traumatic stress disorder, but excluding antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, and pedophilia. Evidence of the defendant’s mental disorder shall be provided by the defense and shall include a recent diagnosis by a qualified mental health expert. In opining that a defendant suffers from a qualifying disorder, the qualified mental health expert may rely on an examination of the defendant, the defendant’s medical records, arrest reports, or any other relevant evidence.”

     It should be noted that only three mental disorders (i.e. ” antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, and pedophilia”) are excluded, and all other mental disorders could be deemed applicable.

     While a court ruling a person is not guilty by mental disease or defect is established in law and there are reasonable arguments for the need of improvements. But this skips the trial and even the input of the prosecution or a neutral psychiatric evaluation, and allows the defendant to walk free.

Shut Up H8er, California Explained

     California’s war to keep people “queer”, even if they wish to change their own behavior, has hit full on censorship with California’s AB 2943 which makes illegal “Advertising, offering to engage in, or engaging in sexual orientation change efforts with an individual” involving “sale or lease of goods or services to any consumer are unlawful.”

     A recent analysis of AB 2943 by the Alliance Defending Freedom indicates that the bill is even worse than previously thought.

“At its core, AB 2943 outlaws speech, whether offered by a licensed counselor, a best-selling author, or even a minister or religious leader. It targets a specific message—that an adult who is experiencing unwanted same-sex attraction or gender identity confusion can find help to address those issues—for censorship. The breadth of this censorship is staggering. Under AB 2943:

  • A licensed counselor could not help a married mother of three who is experiencing unwanted attraction to a close female friend or confusion over her gender identity overcome those feelings;
  • A religious ministry could not hold a conference on maintaining sexual purity if the conference encourages attendees to avoid homosexual behavior;
  • A bookstore (including online bookstores like Amazon) could not sell many recently published books challenging gender identity ideology and advocating that these beliefs should be rejected by society; and
  • A pastor paid to speak at an event addressing current social topics could not encourage attendees that they can prevail over same-sex desires or feelings that they were born the wrong sex.

“In these scenarios, there is a transaction (the counselor’s payment; the conference attendance fees; the cost of the book; and the pastor’s speaking fee) that triggers AB 2943 And under the bill, a person or organization who is paid by a consumer for goods or services cannot engage in any practice—including pure speech—that tells someone”

California Can’t Force (Some) Employers to Resist Federal Immigration Laws

     A recent ruling on a trio of California state laws reinforces California’s “#Resistance” stance, abet with some limitations.

“Judge John Mendez denied the [Federal] Department of Justice’s request for a preliminary injunction blocking Senate Bill 54, the state’s centerpiece sanctuary law limiting law enforcement cooperation with immigration officials, and Assembly Bill 103, which gives state officials the authority to review the conditions of detention facilities that contract with immigration authorities.

“But Mendez did block parts of AB 450, the ‘Immigrant Worker Protection Act,’ which fines employers who voluntarily let immigration agents access their workplaces. Under the ruling, employers can still warn their employees of workplace compliance checks, but immigration agents won’t be required to obtain a warrant signed by a judge to enter a workplace.”

     One hand, employers who wish to allow immigration agents to comply with workplace compliance checks will no longer be forced to be recruited in California’s war on immigration law and stand as pawns against legitimate Federal actions. However, companies that run detention facilities contracted with the Federal government, thus giving the power to regulate such facilities out of existence and hindering legitimate lawful action of the Federal government.
