Have a happy 4th Of July weekend.
Enjoy July 4 This Sunday. It Might Be The Last One
By Paul Craig Roberts
Yes, really. The Fourth of July is no longer an event to be celebrated. It has become a day of shame and remorse. On that day a systemic racist country was created that brought slavery and oppression to blacks. The Founding Fathers created the Constitution in order to legitimize slavery. Don’t just take it from me. To confirm that July 4 is a day of infamy just consult the New York Times’ 1619 Project, CNN, NPR, the critical race theory taught in your local school system, and in your son or daughter’s university or ask Kamala or Biden.
Formerly, the solution was restitution. The US government was to turn over buckets full of white taxpayers’ money to blacks to compensate them for a labor system that ended 156 years ago. But today that doesn’t suffice. Restitution alone doesn’t fix the problem of systemic racism, that is, the fact that every white person is a racist by virtue of skin color. If you are white, you are racist by definition. This problem can only be solved by “eliminating whiteness.”
For some radicals “eliminating whiteness” is meant literally. Speaking at Yale University’s School of Medicine on the topic of “The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind,” psychiatrist Aruna Khilanani expresses how she would like to go about it:
”This is the cost of talking to white people at all. The cost of your own life, as they suck you dry. There are no good apples out there. White people make my blood boil. …
I had fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way, burying their body and wiping my bloody hands as I walked away relatively guiltless with a bounce in my step. Like I did the world a f***ing favor.”
But for now for most of the advocates of “eliminating whiteness,” what is meant is erasing Western civilization. All aspects of it. Monuments are to be taken down—and not only Confederate heroes but also George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abe Lincoln, and most certainly Christopher Columbus. Along with the monuments, which include graveyard markers, are books and movies, such as “Gone With The Wind” and Joel Chandler Harris’ marvelous stories of Br’er Rabbit and Br’er Fox. Everything is racist and has to go. Recently IKEA employees walked off the job because they were served fried chicken and watermelon, foods associated with the South and thereby racist.
The IKEA employee walk-off shows how advanced repudiating whiteness has progressed. It is a very serious situation. If a white person defends himself against the charge that he is a racist, his defense is regarded as proof that he is a racist.
First white culture is eliminated. All achievements are dismissed as racist, including the US Constitution. With the elimination of the culture goes the past, and thereby the present and the future. As more and more white persons are brainwashed into their guilt and lose the ability to resist their demonization, those who speak of white people in the same terms that some Nazis spoke of Jews, become more aggressive and roll out the guillotine.
Psychoanalyst Donald Moss is ready and waiting. He declares that “Whiteness is a malignant, parasitic like condition.”
This is the way Lenin spoke of the bourgeoisie and Stalin spoke of the kulaks—“break their resistance, eliminate them as a class”
What is the solution to the whiteness problem? Physical elimination. MORE.
The Great American Rewrite is Upon Us – “The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.” https://t.co/xBPtWLzDxG

The Great American Rewrite is Upon Us
Via American Greatness
If the Left succeeds, their lies will become history
The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.”
This quote from George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four is one of the prime examples of how the novel’s tyrannical regime, “Oceania,” rewrites history at whim, with no opposition whatsoever from a subdued and neutered populace.
If there is one way in which the modern Left has improved upon Orwell’s example, it is in its tendency to at least offer some sort of justification for their rewriting of history. If the government of Oceania from Orwell’s novel had added the caveat that they were at war with Eastasia for “racial justice,” then Orwell would have been the most flawless oracle of the last 100 years.
Taking Orwell’s works as how-to manuals rather than warnings, the Left has now set their sights on an even more insidious—and far more personal—attempt at revisionist history: They are now moving full-speed ahead to rewrite the very history of our nation’s founding.
No True Founding
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) launched its own “Task Force on Racism” last year, at the height of the race riots that tore through the country. Its goal was to determine any cases of “systemic racism” within the NARA system. Led by an Obama appointee named David Ferriero, the report, released in April of this year, declared with no evidence that there is an “overarching system of racial bias” in the way NARA operates. One unintentionally hilarious claim—worthy of a scene out of “National Treasure”—locates the epicenter of this racism in the Rotunda of the United States Capitol.
As far as this report is concerned, nothing is sacred anymore. The Rotunda, which houses some of America’s significant works of art, is guilty of celebrating “wealthy White men in the nation’s Founding, while marginalizing BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color), women, and other communities.” The NARA report calls for assembling a “diverse group of contemporary artists” to “reimagine” the Rotunda by painting new murals that include people of every race.
Roughly translated, what this means is that the National Archives—the very entity tasked with protecting some of the most sacred artefacts from American history, including our founding documents—is now recommending that our history be rewritten to accommodate 21st-century sensitivities, with historical facts subordinated to the secular religion of multiculturalism. Never mind the small detail that slaves, women, and Indians are not depicted at the signing of the Declaration of Independence because there were none present for that event; representation comes first, reality comes second.
Rewriting the Past
In an American Greatness column back in April, Dennis Prager noted the indisputable fact that America, and most of Western Civilization, was built by white people. More so than any other group, the WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) contributed the most to making America the “shining city on a hill” that it was for the longest time. This, of course, does not automatically mean that white people are superior. It does mean that people of all races on earth were not equally represented at the crucial events of the American founding.
But the Left doesn’t care about the truth; they are forever enraged by the fact that their preferred minority groups cannot logically claim any piece of the pie that is America’s founding. As such, their only option is to rewrite history and hope that, as in Orwell’s world, the populace will eventually stop questioning their pseudo-history—not for fear of direct government suppression, but an arguably worse form of tyranny in the form of social isolation, best demonstrated today by cancel culture.

Police To Target Americans For Their Ideological Beliefs And Behaviors https://t.co/5PoEkcHmre

Police To Target Americans For Their Ideological Beliefs And Behaviors
Via Zero Hedge
Much has been written about President Joe Biden’s new Domestic Terror law, but nothing I have seen until now shows just how horrifying it is.
To say that the White House uses the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) like political puppets to push their own agenda would be an understatement. The New Yorker chronicled four DHS secretaries who were forced to resign by October 2019, and a fifth who resigned this January.
So when I heard about DHS counterterrorism chief John Cohen having a hard time containing his enthusiasm over Biden’s new domestic terrorism law in a GW Program on Extremism webinar I knew it couldn’t be good.
Ricardo Vazquez Garcia, from Homeland Security Today describes what happened.
Garcia does a great job of framing the Feds justification for creating a new War On Terror by targeting American citizens.
“A lot of progress was made by the U.S. government in dealing with the threat posed by foreign terrorist organizations and in particular dealing with the way those organizations operated, the way they recruited individuals, the way they communicated, the way they developed plans, the way they saw to introduce operatives into the domestic environment, the way they sought to recruit people here domestically,” Cohen said. “I think it is safe to say that the U.S. created quite a robust counterterrorism capability. The challenge is the threat we face today is significantly different than the one we faced after Sept. 11,” DHS counterterrorism chief John Cohen said.
As America closes in on the 11th anniversary of 9/11, the Feds want the public to believe that unknown terrorist organizations are recruiting your neighbor[s] to become a domestic extremist. But it is not just any neighbor, this time it is far-right “extremists” or White supremacists and Trump supporters who they want to recruit.
For years DHS officials have warned Americans of the dangers that lurk just outside their front doors or worse in the far-flung Middle East where extremists are plotting to bomb us, shoot us, or poison our water systems. The only difference to the terrorists that await Americans is that now they are allegedly targeting a person’s ideological beliefs.
According to Cohen, “the most significant terrorist threat facing the U.S. today comes from individuals or lone offenders, and small groups of individuals who based on an ideological belief system, primarily an ideological belief system they self-connect with online activity, but they’ll go out and commit an act of violence on behalf of that belief or a combination of ideological beliefs, or a combination of ideological beliefs and personal grievances.”
What does this mean for Americans?
It means that the Feds can target individuals for expressing anti-government sentiments.
“In many respects, this is a much more individualized threat, and what I mean by that is if you look at the lethal attacks that have occurred in the U.S. over the last several years, they have been conducted by individuals who spend incredible amounts of time online viewing extremist content, content about past violent attacks, they tend to be individuals who have shared behavioral health or environmental characteristics,” Cohen said.
Targeting people for their ideological beliefs is horrifying in and of itself. Biden’s new domestic terror law will also give law enforcement the right to target people based on their behaviors.
“What we mean by that, yes, the motive and ideological beliefs are important as part of the analytic process, but the threat tends to come from individuals who have a very superficial understanding of the ideological belief system they use as the validation for an act of violence, but they do have shared behavioral characteristics,” Cohen said.
If any of this is beginning to sound like China, one only need look at Hong Kong to see the similarities. Speaking out in print against an authoritative regime is an arrestable offense, demonstrating against police brutality is an arrestable offense and so on. MORE.
Vaccine “passports” being put in place by the European Union + Australia as well as some U.S. states and businesses are one of the more alarming instruments advancing the “heart and soul of Technocracy and Scientific Dictatorship.”https://t.co/JqlvzD73uD

Heavy-Handed Marketing of COVID Vaccines, Passports Brings George Orwell’s ‘Freedom Is Slavery’ to the Fore
Via The Defender
Vaccine “passports” being put in place by the European Union and Australia as well as some U.S. states and businesses are one of the more alarming instruments advancing the “heart and soul of Technocracy and Scientific Dictatorship.”
As must be increasingly apparent to anyone capable of digging beneath the media’s daily outpouring of Orwellian propaganda, the planet-wide changes ushered in by the conveniently timed COVID crisis have surprisingly little to do with health. Facilitated by big tech, big military, big pharma’s injectable operating systems and other tools of “biofascism,” the takeover being engineered by private central bankers and their technocratic partners represents no less than a complete end-run around human freedom.
Vaccine “passports” or “certificates,” being put in place by the European Union and Australia as well as some U.S. states and businesses, are one of the more alarming instruments advancing this tyrannical centralization and control agenda. Not one to mince words, author Naomi Wolf makes the case that the “passports,” if allowed to become the norm, could trigger “the end of civil society” and “literally the end of human liberty in the West.”
Why is there such a strong push to make travel and commerce contingent on vaccine passports? One important answer, well understood by Wolf as CEO of a tech company, is “location intelligence” — what technocracy expert Patrick Wood calls the “heart and soul of Technocracy and Scientific Dictatorship.” Without irony, the champions of location data rhapsodize that such data are “a powerful way to connect people to place, transactions to actions, responses to trends, and customers to where they do business and the kind of business they do” — ultimately facilitating the “digital transformation of society on the whole.”
Less cheerfully, technocrats understand, even if the general public does not, that location data permit control at the most granular levels and provide “a platform for understanding what’s going on at all scales.” This point was disturbingly illustrated in a June 21 study in JAMA Internal Medicine, which essentially denounced “small and informal social gatherings,” positing that children’s birthday parties are potential hotbeds of SARS-CoV-2 transmission.
This willingness on the part of technocracy’s foot soldiers to be party poopers — literally — would be silly were it not for the study’s baleful messaging, which confirms Wolf’s concerns that we are not only in a battle for liberty but in “a war against human beings and the qualities that make us human.”

The heavy-handed marketing of COVID injections and COVID vaccine passports as tickets to “freedom” has brought George Orwell’s inverted “freedom is slavery” logic fully to the fore. The “appendix” to 1984 explains that while the fictional totalitarian regime Oceania could readily condone use of the word “free” in statements such as “This dog is free from lice” or “This field is free from weeds,” usages such as “politically free” or “intellectually free” had gone entirely and intentionally extinct because the concepts themselves had been erased.
The alarming rapidity with which the U.S. and once “robust” Western democracies were able to implement “elements of a locked-in, 360-degree totalitarianism” was facilitated not just by a heretofore unimaginable level of global policy coordination but also by the public’s complacency. The pressing question of the day, therefore, is whether citizens will continue to tolerate blatant efforts to memory-hole freedom.
Lobbying for COVID vaccine mandates and passports in the U.S., one of the latest darlings of vaccine coercion recently argued that the Biden administration “shouldn’t be so squeamish about vaccine verification,” openly calling mandates and “verification” desirable tools to “push [the unvaccinated] in the right direction.”
And if we are to believe Gallup poll propaganda, more than half of Americans are already on board, supporting policies such as having to show proof of vaccination to fly or attend sporting events or concerts. On the other hand, in an “unscientific” poll on independent journalist Sharyl Attkisson’s website, 97% of respondents answered “absolutely not!” to the question “Do you support requiring ‘vaccine passports’?” MORE.

Disney World drops ‘ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls’ from recorded greeting as park pushes to be ‘place where everyone is welcome’

Disney World in Orlando, Florida, has removed “ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls” from a recorded greeting, Insider reported, as the park pushes to be a “place where everyone is welcome.”
The outlet said employees were invited to a Wednesday “cast member” preview of the “Happily Ever After” fireworks show at Magic Kingdom — the first since the nightly shows were halted when the COVID-19 pandemic hit last year.
And now instead of the “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, dreamers of all ages” introduction heard in 2020, the recorded greeting is now, “Good evening, dreamers of all ages,” according to videos shared by employees, Insider said.
Here’s a comparison video shared on Twitter:

The outlet said while Disney World hasn’t commented on the greeting change, it has made it clear that it’s aiming for lots of inclusivity.
An April letter from Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, noted that the organization is “creating a place where everyone is welcome and taking action to create meaningful change.” One of the ways it’s doing so is providing “greater flexibility with respect to forms of personal expression” of cast members “surrounding gender-inclusive hairstyles, jewelry, nail styles, and costume choices; and allowing appropriate visible tattoos.”
“The world is changing, and we will change with it, and continue to be a source of joy and inspiration for all the world,” the letter added. MORE.
