Compare Original '45 Goals Of Communism' To Modern Woke Crusade

INTRO: MARXIST GOAL PRECURSORS 
Have you ever wondered what the precursors to the current goals of protesters and radicals demanding defunding police departments across America? Also, their crazed goals to pull down all historic statutes – even Mt Rushmore? And as US Reps AOC and Ilhan Omar demand destruction of capitalism, haven’t you wondered where such unhinged and universally disastrous ideas came from?

Well, there’s an actual source for such catastrophic, ruinous policies…World Communism. And on Thursday, January 10, 1963, a list of 45 Communist Goals were offered for the record that were argued to help take over USA. These were read into the Congressional Record, taken from a book called “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen.

TEN EXAMPLES OF COMMUNIST GOALS COME TO LIFE

1. Normalize Revolt

Number 42 states, “Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use to solve economic, political or social problems.” Both Seattle’s Mayor Durkan and NY’s Bill Deblasio heavily praised the George Floyd “protests,” as well as virtually all Democrat politicians and many entertainers.

2. Cancel the Police

In number 38, the list states: “Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies.” Defunding the police will be addressed by having non-violent crimes be dealt with by mental health workers. This is the stated goal of Antifa and current demand of BLM, now being applied in Milwaukee and Seattle. But where did canceling police departments come from? USSR Communists. Claims one Marxist site: “The police are the first line of the “bodies of armed men” intended to defend interests of the ruling class. If their real function was to stop crime, they’d arrest every capitalist on the planet, as these are the true criminals and their regime the real source of all crime.”

3. Dismember the Family

In number 40, the list states: “Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.” Destruction of the nuclear family has already occurred and the impact has been catastrophic. Single family households are the chief cause of US poverty while fatherless kids are at a huge disadvantage in life. But a fatherless household also struggles more to teach children about authority and male-female roles within the home.

4. Infiltrate Schools With Leftism

Number 17 states: “Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda.” This goal has been achieved with spectacular success. In 40% of universities, no Republicans are on faculty. The result is brainwashing of kids and the understandable take-away that only socialism is intellectually defensible. Says a 2019 article, “An ex-Communist Romania-born academic recently left his tenured position at Columbia University because the Ivy League school is “on its way toward full blown communism.”

5. Pervert the Press

In number 20, it states “Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.” The bias of American journalism is an established fact. Only 5% of Trump stories were positive. Or as Reason Magazine states: When It Comes to Covering Trump, NY Times Has Abandoned Any Distinction Between Reporting and Opinion.

6. Media Blockade of Trump

Number 21 states, “Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.” Of course, the angry leftism of actors, celebrities, TV anchors and other media workers is legendary. In fact, when MSNBC anchor Chuck Todd claimed his network lacked bias, hilarity resulted.

7. Demolish the Founders

Number 30 states, “Discredit the American Founding Fathers.” Needless to say, when the Founders are roundly dismissed as racist slave-owners, and many protesters demand Mt Rushmore be demolished, the Founders are under fire – even though they wrote the Constitution!

8. Condemn the American Experiment

Number 31 states, “Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history.” It’s now a given protesters completely condemn every aspect of America as being racist, greedy, and just plain evil, which many now accept as fact.

9. Big Business Now Woke

Number 37 states, “Infiltrate and gain control of big business.” One of the most surprising developments is capitalist businesses now promoting socialist leftist themes as Corporate Advocacy.

10. Cancel the Constitution 

Number 29 states, “Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate.” It’s become a truism in leftist circles that many elements of the Constitution like Amendment 1., Free Speech and Amendment 2., Gun Rights, must be canceled. Also, 3. the Electoral College!

CONCLUSION

Let’s admit while Marxists, like Black Lives Matter and Antifa are highly predictable, they are also extremely committed to their goals. They have also achieved many which must have seemed crazy to the people of the 1960s. That’s why we must be even more devoted to our response to extirpate, root and branch, Marxism in America, or face conservative extinction, right here and right now!

Demons Frolicking At Large In Lockdown’s Empty Churches


Locked out from the churches that so many are longing to get back into, how many wonder what is going on inside shuttered churches during the pandemic?

Demons Frolicking At Large In Lockdown’s Empty Churches

Catholics know that Our Lord and Savior is present in the Tabernacles in all churches, world wide.  In the 4-month-long lockdown banning and restricting church service,  some longingly comfort themselves in fervent prayer, trusting that God’s Angels still stand on watch both inside closed and partially closed churches.

When he’s not busy over at Congress working with the Democrats to leave America in ruins, Satan and his demons are frolicking at large in some of our Covid-crippled churches.

Jesuit-run St. Francis Xavier church in Manhattan

See for yourself by calling up the home pages of churches on the Internet.

Holy Mass is going on as usual today at the Jesuit-run St. Francis Xavier church in Manhattan.

Thanks to perspicacious padre, Fr. John Zuhlsdorf (Fr Z), we can see what Pastor Kenneth Boller, preaches in virtual pictures of St. Francis Xavier church online.

You can’t blame the individuals whose pictures are on the altar.  Since they could hardly have asked for this kind of veneration—post death—you can blame the Jesuits for exploiting their deaths.

St. Francis Xavier church in Manhattan

The Gospel of Christ has been hijacked by social justice

The Gospel of Christ has been hijacked by social justice not just at St. Francis Xavier Church in Manhattan but in many other churches of our day:

But for Jesuits at St. Francis Xavier,  to wit:

“Over these last two weeks, we have struggled to find an appropriate response that expresses solidarity with the legitimate protests in our streets. We have organized a prayer service last Saturday and will have another one Sunday afternoon at 1:30pm. A group that had been in conversation with the parish of St. Charles Borromeo and St Francis De Sales over issues of racial justice and white supremacy has reconnected and will be planning to help us all work for reconciliation. We have united around a Pledge for Racial Justice. Different ministries within our parish have issued their own statement to join their voice to that of so many in righteous indignation and a call to reform. (Pastor Boller, Page 3 of Bulletin, June 14, 2020)

…”Our national sin is racism, which has supported the privileged at the expense of the oppressed. This sin has tainted all of us and we have the opportunity to do an Ignatian Examen, an examination of conscience and consciousness with the lens of racism and white privilege. It will not be easy, nor will it be comfortable, but conversion never is.

“For the foreseeable future, we will develop programs to help us move from examination to conversion to reconciliation. Together we will work to bring about effective change in our hearts, our church and our world. Let us be guided by the Spirit of Pentecost, nurtured by the Body of Christ to respond to the current tragedies with grace and courage to make a new “normal,” a normal when all will recognize the dignity of each as a beloved child of God.”

More Jesuit B as in B, S as in S in Archdiocese of New York

No one puts scheming Jesuits in their place better than Fr.Z:

‘More Jesuit B as in B, S as in S in Archdiocese of New York’(Fr. John Zuhlsdorf, July 25, 2020)

“In the otherwise beautiful church in Manhattan, St. Francis Xavier, in the clutches of the Jesuits, the visitor will today see this.

“Think that this was perhaps a photoshop job, I went to their website HERE

On their rotating header they have this image. (See Above)

“This is sacrilege, as it is the misuse of that altar which is consecrated.  It looks as if the mensa is still there.

“This is also blasphemous, since it seems to present these people for veneration.  They are placed, after all, on an altar.

“Imagine what St. Edmund Campion would say about this.  Peter Canisius!   John de Brebeuf!  FRANCIS XAVIER!

Jesuits….

I respond: GANGANELLI!

You can say that again, Fr. Z:  Pope Clement XIV, born Giovanni Vincenzo Antonio Ganganelli, was best known for his suppression of the Jesuits!

GANGANELLI! all the way!

BREAKING: Black Militia(NFAC) Marches Into Louisville With A Nasty Plan(VIDEO)


An anti-white violent terror organization, the “Not F**king Around Coalition” (NFAC), is planning an armed rally throughout the city of Louisville, Ky on Saturday.

Far Left Watch reports that NFAC leader John Fitzgerald Johnson, aka “Grand Master Jay,” has proposed the replacement of the U.S. with a black ethnostate established by racist militant action.

During a recent terror demonstration at Stone Mountain, Ga., Grand Master Jay and his armed militia harassed white motorists while demanding slavery reparations.

The NFAC appears to echo the beliefs of the Black Hebrew Israelite movement, which has even been designated by the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as a hate group.

Grand Master Jay has released a video address on YouTube telling his followers to be armed and ready for confrontation this Saturday.

Louisville Metro Police spokesman Dwight Mitchell noted that law enforcement is aware of the NFAC’s planned display and hopes to create a dialogue with the group to prevent any violence from taking place.

“We have had several protests posted over the past several weeks, some of which have occurred and some which have not,” Mitchell said. “We will take the appropriate steps to prepare for whatever may occur.”

Big League Politics reported earlier this month on how NFAC’s violent and menacing behavior in Georgia prompted a full-blown state of emergency:

An interview with Thomas Sowell


Re-Posted from Uncommon Knowledge on Thursday, July 2, 2020

Recorded on July 1, 2020

The day before this show was recorded, Dr. Thomas Sowell began his 10th decade of life. Remarkably on one hand and yet completely expected on the other, he remains as engaged, analytical, and thoughtful as ever. In this interview (one of roughly a dozen or so we’ve conducted with Dr. Sowell over the years), we delve into his new book Charter Schools and Their Enemies,  a sobering look at the academic success of charter schools in New York City, and the fierce battles waged by teachers unions and progressive politicians to curtail them. Dr. Sowell’s conclusion is equally thought provoking: If the opponents of charter schools succeed, the biggest losers will be poor minority children for whom a quality education is the best chance for a better life.

Why This Revolution Isn’t Like the ’60s


Re-Posted from PJ Media BY VICTOR DAVIS HANSON JUL 23, 2020 12:05 AM EST

In the 1960s and early ’70s, the U.S. was convulsed by massive protests calling for radical changes in the country’s attitudes on race, class, gender and sexual orientation. The Vietnam War and widespread college deferments were likely the fuel that ignited prior peaceful civil disobedience.

Sometimes the demonstrations became violent, as with the Watts riots of 1965 and the protests at the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago. Terrorists from the Weathermen (later called the Weather Underground) bombed dozens of government buildings.

The ’60s revolution introduced to the country everything from hippies, communes, free love, mass tattooing, commonplace profanity, rampant drug use, rock music and high divorce rates to the war on poverty, massive government growth, feminism, affirmative action and race/gender/ethnic college curricula.

The enemies of the ’60s counterculture were the “establishment” — politicians, corporations, the military and the “square” generation” in general. Leftists targeted their parents, who had grown up in the Great Depression. That generation had won World War II and returned to create a booming postwar economy. After growing up with economic and military hardship, they sought a return to comfortable conformity in the 1950s.

A half-century after the earlier revolution, today’s cultural revolution is vastly different — and far more dangerous.

Government and debt have grown. Social activism is already institutionalized in hundreds of newer federal programs. The “Great Society” inaugurated a multitrillion-dollar investment in the welfare state. Divorce rates soared. The nuclear family waned. Immigration, both legal and illegal, skyrocketed.

Thus, America is far less resilient, and a far more divided, indebted and vulnerable target than it was in 1965.

Today, radicals are not protesting against 1950s conservatism but rather against the radicals of the 1960s, who as old liberals now hold power. Now, many of the current enforcers — blue-state governors, mayors and police chiefs — are from the left. Unlike Democratic Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley in the ’60s, today’s progressive civic leaders often sympathize with the protesters.

The ’60s protests were for racial assimilation and integration to reify Martin Luther King Jr.’s agenda of making race incidental, not essential, to the American mindset. Not so with today’s cultural revolution. It seeks to ensure that racial difference is the foundation of American life, dividing the country between supposed non-white victims and purported white victimizers, past and present.

In the ’60s, radicals rebelled against their teachers and professors, who were often highly competent and the products of fact-based and inductive education. Not so in 2020. Today’s radicals were taught not by traditionalists but by less-educated older radicals.

Another chief difference is debt. Most public education in the 1960s was bare-bones and relatively inexpensive. Because there were no plush dorms, latte bars, rock-climbing walls, diversity coordinators and provosts of inclusion, college tuition in real dollars was far cheaper.

The result was that 1960s student radicals graduated without much debt and for all their hipness could enter a booming economy with marketable skills. Today’s angry graduates owe a collective $1.6 trillion in student loan debt — much of it borrowed for mediocre, therapeutic and politicized training that does not impress employers.

College debt impedes maturity, marriage, child-raising, home ownership and the saving of money.  In other words, today’s radical is far more desperate and angry that his college gambit never paid off.

Today’s divide is also geographical in the fashion of 1861, not just generational as in the 1960s. The two blue coasts seem to despise the vast red interior, and vice versa.

Yet the scariest trait of the current revolution is that many of its sympathizers haven’t changed much since the 1960s. They may be rich, powerful, influential and older, but they are just as reckless and see the current chaos as the final victory in their own long march from the ’60s.

Corporations are no longer seen as evil, but as woke contributors to the revolution. The military is no longer smeared as warmongering, but praised as a government employment service where race, class and gender agendas can be green-lighted without messy legislative debate. Unlike the 1960s, there are essentially no conservatives in Hollywood, on campuses or in government bureaucracies.

So the war no longer pits radicals against conservatives, but often socialists and anarchists against both liberals and conservatives.

In the ’60s, a huge “silent majority” finally had enough, elected Richard Nixon and slowed down the revolution by jailing its criminals, absorbing and moderating it. Today, if there is a silent mass of traditionalists and conservatives, they remain in hiding.

If they stay quiet in their veritable mental monasteries and deplore the violence in silence, the revolution will steamroll on. But as in the past, if they finally snap, decide enough is enough and reclaim their country, then even this cultural revolution will sputter out, too.

Fox News Viewers: ‘You Can’t Handle The Truth’


Cutting away is not telling it like it is

Judi McLeod image

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and Archives—July 25, 2020

Violence and Destruction by Protestors in Portland
Too bad the good people of Portland, Oregon, worried about the violence in their city,  can’t simply cut away from it the way Fox News did today. But they can’t because the violence that’s taken over their home city has been playing out for the better part of almost two months and is getting worse.

No matter how violent or profane, the news is the news, and that’s what White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany tried to show to White House Press Corps reporters in her press briefing today.

“Fox News cut away on Friday from a White House briefing when Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany showed footage of violent demonstrations in Portland, Oregon, because the video included images of profane graffiti on a federal courthouse. “(Breitbart, July 24, 2020)

Many folk are used to the signature graffiti left on federal buildings by Black Lives Matter, Antifa and are in fact sickened by it.

“We were not expecting that video, and our management here at Fox News has decided we will pull away from that at this time,” said anchor Harris Faulkner. (Breitbart)

“Faulkner returned to airing the briefing once McEnany started taking questions from the press corps. At the end of the hour, Faulkner said the network had not been aware McEnany planned to show the video. Faulkner suggested she preferred to be given a heads up for violent and profane content.”

Since when did news networks presume the rights to heads up for violent and profane content from videos shown at White House press briefings?

Aren’t most protests, claimed by the Democrats to be “peaceful”, violent and profane?

What’s “peaceful” about protests where innocent people are abused and where businesses are destroyed?

What happened to a major network like Fox News’ ability to bleep out profanity?

Why couldn’t Fox simply have cut away from the offensive graffiti on display and continue on with the coverage of the profanity on video by talking over it?

Surely it wasn’t to keep Ms. McEnany from making her point to White House reporters?

“Democrats have maintained that the riots in Portland were “peaceful protests.” Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti claimed Thursday that the rioters in Portland represented “the best of our democratic ideals.” (Breitbart)

“Protesters in the video loudly shouted expletives, and one protester even expressed her wish that police officers would die.” (Washington Examiner, July 24, 2020)

Today wasn’t the first Fox News cut away from something they did not seem to want to report.

Just a little more than a week ago, Fox News host Neil Cavuto used the cut away tactic:

“Thursday, Fox News host Neil Cavuto cut away during a speech by President Donald Trump on deregulation to fact-check his claims that former President Barack Obama had enacted “job-destroying regulations.” (Breitbart) (Canada Free Press, July 16, 2020)

“Cavuto said, “I do want to clarify a couple of things he said, that no president in history has cut regulations as much as he has. That is true. I think he might have mischaracterized the regulations that were added under Barack Obama — they were largely financial related. You might recall we had this little thing called the financial meltdown, and much of those regulations were geared to preventing banks from ever investing in things like risky mortgage securities, pooling them, selling them off.”

“He continued, “The unemployment rate did, under Barack Obama, go down from a high of 10% to around 4.7%. President Trump, of course, sent that even lower, eventually getting us down to a 3.5% unemployment rate. But I didn’t want to leave you with the impression that during those eight years when Obama first came into office, and we were bleeding about a million jobs a month that that was standard fare and that characterized the whole eight years.”

“He added, “It was not a disaster under Barack Obama. Not only did the Dow essentially triple during his tenure, but whether you want to call the increase regulations and other things that police financial companies, as a bane to our existence, those companies did very well. Americans did very, very well. So I just want to put that in some context here.”

Reporting on the violence of the protesters in Portland is part of the job for any news outlet.

Cutting away is not telling it like it is.

As Canada Free Press cartoonist Dag Barkely points out about the latest Fox News cutaway:

“The (Fox News) management felt you’re not allowed to see the truth of what is really happening.“

Business Education Hijacked by Anti-Capitalist Marxism


America is composed of people of every color, creed and faith and they’re past ready to open for business and resume free enterprise

A. Dru Kristenev image

Re-posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and Archives—July 23, 2020

Business Education Hijacked by Anti-Capitalist Marxism

Education took a drastic twist with the turn of the century. In the works for decades, the very definition of education underwent major overhaul, completing the transformation of teaching into indoctrination.

Education majors watched how programs that once imparted methods of teaching subject matter to pupils refocused on implementation of redefined language – words and phrases corrupted over time to condition thought processes instead of encouraging an exchange of ideas. Retooled teacher training stressed class management techniques (crowd control) and appeasing students and/or parents to avoid litigation. Teaching straightforward content such as math, history, grammar, spelling, etc. got lost in the shuffle.

The steady change in language to suit institutional programming has been wildly successful. Easily influenced non-binary Generation Z (or whatever the ‘newspeak’ has designated 20 to 30-somethings) have had their minds so challenged by educational standards (otherwise referred to as brainwashing) that the level of personal confusion has created a zombie-like herd of social destroyers.

They are the conditioned mobs roaming the streets of progressive-run cities – Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, Chicago, New York, etc. – fire-bombing businesses, despising law enforcement, stealing property, and demolishing municipal infrastructure to create filth-ridden social anarchy that looks askance at murder.

How did America, of all nations, reach this crossroad? By redefining ‘education’ to makeover public schools and colleges into radical training centers. The fruits of sixty years of communist-leaning academic programming is tearing down what liberty built, replacing orderly freedom with catastrophic chaos.

Destructive education is now embedded in colleges and universities, both public and private. No academic discipline has been immune from the implementation of Marxist precepts under the expansion of teachers’ unions over the last century.

The rugged individualism that built America’s greatness (so detested by communist educators that are now in the majority at learning institutions) has taken a beating even in the business sector. Business programs have been undermined by collectivist thought, converting capitalism into marketing – otherwise understood to be the promotion of acceptable social behaviors. As far as most colleges are concerned, capitalism is dead and commerce must conform to social justice ‘norms.’

The recent spate of violence spurred by a video of the mistreatment of George Floyd in Minneapolis was hijacked by the Marxist (and misnamed) Black Lives Matter organization. Peaceful protests were purposefully infiltrated by cowardly, mostly white, agitators who hid their faces behind masks. Claiming to uphold justice for people of color, they turned nonviolent demonstrations into open riots by planting bricks, baseball bats, and incendiary devices along march routes.

Corporations have abandoned established business practices by jumping on the bandwagon, either openly funding the anarchist Black Lives Matter or routing funds through secondary organizations like the ACLU, NAACP, African American Leadership Forum or Equal Justice Initiative. How some of these organizations utilize the funds is clear as mud because rhetoric is the byword in a post-Covid-19 commercial world. It is the word commentators use in place of the less genteel term shortened into the initials B.S.

Hundreds of millions of dollars are being allocated by corporations believing that by underwriting divisive social justice groups they are promoting commerce. They are, in fact, undermining their freedom to create wealth by supporting non-profits that create administrative programs that do little more than make minority members think something is being changed to promote minority success.

It is how marketing has permeated every aspect of commerce, beginning with business and social education. Establishment educators now teach rhetoric as an accepted component of business curricula, demonstrated by the syllabus for a core class at BYU.

There are two prongs to the ‘devolution’ of the American business model that is being relentlessly implemented in this election year. First is the misrepresentation of the Wuhan virus “pandemic.

Mark Levin broadcast taped comments of Ron Klain in 2009 on CSPAN at the Biological Attacks and Pandemics Forum (a Biden staffer at the time and later Obama’s Ebola Response team coordinator), clearly stating “We did every possible thing wrong,” regarding the 2009 outbreak of Swine flu. “60 million Americans got H1N1” when the epidemic was swept under the rug by discontinuing flu testing. And what did Obama do? Absolutely nothing. No lock-downs, no masks, no social distancing, no school closures and the United States survived without a problem. (Mark Levin Show, July 16, 2020 approximately at the 49-minute mark.)

Compare the 60 million number to the 3.5 million cases worldwide. The overreaction now is an attempt to destabilize the government making it ripe for a democrat takeover, under which comes the second prong attack:

It’s the  Marxist-directed destruction of cities under the guise of social justice that amounts to the dual spread of misery by targeting so-called white privilege. But it’s not the white population that’s suffering most under the incendiary, violent rioting. It’s the small minority-owned businesses and big box stores that are being looted and burned. The purpose appears to be clear – target small business that can’t recover without government assistance, and take out the major commercial centers that cater to minority communities, leaving them without goods and services. Yet major corporations are funding the groups bent on destroying them.

Through it all, blame is directed at white privilege to divide communities and plummet commercial districts and inner cities into engineered poverty. Along with this scheme is the promotion of a ‘defund the police’ movement in an attempt to create a disgruntled, angry minority population that the anarchists believe will form a backlash against law and civil order.

What the resistance hadn’t expected is how their plan is backfiring as more city dwellers of every color are crying out for more police presence to protect them from the lawlessness and murder being promulgated right outside their front doors.

While teachers’ unions are suing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for expecting them to return to school and do their jobs, black community members and preachers like Bevelyn Beatty are taking their message to the streets, literally. Supporting law and order and the re-opening of businesses and schools, courageous individuals are painting over anti-social Black Lives Matter graffiti to make the point that America is composed of people of every color, creed and faith and they’re past ready to open for business and resume free enterprise.

Biden and UN Secretary General Call for New Left Wing Social Contracts


United Nations bureaucrats won’t say so publicly, but they must be salivating at the prospect of a Biden presidency

Re-posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and Archives—July 23, 2020

Biden and UN Secretary General Call for New Left Wing Social Contracts

Joe Biden calls his plan to radically transform America’s economy “Build Back Better.” There are four pillars of Biden’s “Build Back Better” plan. Three that have already been rolled out are revitalizing domestic manufacturing and innovation, a $2 trillion environmental and green energy infrastructure initiative, and a $775 billion caregiving initiative. Biden will be rolling out the details of his final “Build Back Better” pillar, advancing racial equity, shortly. Biden has lifted the “Build Back Better” catchphrase from the United Nations he so reveres.

Biden, an avowed globalist, is also calling for a new social contract

“Build Back Better” was used originally by the UN to describe the disaster recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction concept set forth in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. This framework was adopted at the Third UN World Conference in Sendai, Japan, on March 18, 2015. But now, following the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, “Build Back Better” has become the UN’s clarion call for a new social contract and new global deal.

Biden, an avowed globalist, is also calling for a new social contract. In his commencement speech to Columbia Law School’s Class of 2020, Biden declared that COVID-19 should be seen “as a force majeure that compels us to rewrite the social contract that’s been scrambled by nature’s fury and human failures.” The close parallels between Biden’s vision of what such a new social contract would look like and the UN’s vision are noteworthy.

Starting with the United Nations, the central themes of the UN’s concept of a “new social contract” are a rapid transition to what it calls an inclusive green economy and an end to inequality worldwide. UN Secretary General Guterres spelled this out in detail in his Nelson Mandela Lecture entitled “Tackling the Inequality Pandemic: A New Social Contract for a New Era.” Guterres said that the coronavirus pandemic “has laid bare risks we have ignored for decades: inadequate health systems; gaps in social protection; structural inequalities; environmental degradation; the climate crisis.” Guterres added that “when building back better, we build back with inclusiveness and with sustainability, addressing the problems of inequality and addressing the problems of climate change.” He called “not only for climate action, but climate justice.” On other occasions the Secretary General has warned of what he described as the “world’s climate emergency.”

The leftist progressives advising Joe Biden’s campaign are busy writing the Biden template for a new social contract

Guterres also said in his Nelson Mandela Lecture that the world needs “affirmative action programmes and targeted policies to address and redress historic inequalities in gender, race or ethnicity that have been reinforced by social norms.”

On other occasions, Guterres has bought into the progressive narratives of so-called systemic racism, widespread police brutality, and the “racist legacy” of slavery.

Guterres referred in his Nelson Mandela Lecture to colonialism as an historic source of global inequality, whose legacy, he said, “still reverberates.” Thus, in addition to creating a new social contract within each country, Guterres called for a new global deal with a significant transfer of resources to the developing world – i.e., massive wealth redistribution. He also said that “A new model for global governance must be based on full, inclusive and equal participation in global institutions.”

The leftist progressives advising Joe Biden’s campaign are busy writing the Biden template for a new social contract, which leans heavily in the same socialist, globalist direction as the UN’s “Build Back Better” ideas.  In the Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force Recommendations, for example, which are intended to help guide the Biden campaign, there is a section entitled “Combating The Climate Crisis And Pursuing Environmental Justice.” The co-chairs of the committee who authored this section are Democratic-Socialist Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former Secretary of State John Kerry. “Climate change is a global emergency,” the first sentence of this section says, mirroring UN Secretary General Guterres’ alarmism.

“Fundamental reforms to address systemic racism and entrenched income and wealth inequality in our economy and our financial system”

“Democrats commit to reducing climate risks and building back better after disasters and climate-fueled catastrophes in a resilient, green and just manner,” the AOC/Kerry-led committee wrote. This would include “a screening and mapping tool to ensure racial and socioeconomic equity in federal climate, energy, and infrastructure programs.” The committee also has the same concern about “climate justice” as UN Secretary General Guterres does. “Democrats believe we must embed environmental justice and climate justice at the heart of our policy and governing agenda,” the AOC/Kerry-led committee declared.

There is also a section in the Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force Recommendations entitled “Building A Stronger, Fairer Economy,” authored by a different committee that is co-chaired by progressive congresswoman Karen Bass. Representative Bass is the current leader of the Congressional Black Caucus and is reportedly under consideration for selection as Joe Biden’s running mate.

Employing all the talking points of the leftist progressives, this section calls for “fundamental reforms to address systemic racism and entrenched income and wealth inequality in our economy and our financial system.”  It seeks to punish those who succeed in our economy with more onerous taxes, and proposes to “equalize established pathways for building wealth.” It extols the virtues of a “new social and economic compact” that would invest “in building equity and mobility for the communities of color and Native American communities who have been left out and left behind for generations.”

“Making racial equity part of the mandate of the Federal Reserve”

In addition to “making racial equity part of the mandate of the Federal Reserve”- a bizarre idea itself –  the “Building A Stronger, Fairer Economy” section of the Biden-Sanders unity document states as follows: “Democrats will direct regulators to consider potential effects of future mergers on the labor market, on low-income and racially marginalized communities, and on racial equity.” This is social engineering on steroids.

“Equity” means equality of outcome, not of opportunity. Biden is being led down a path that would ruin our country by leftists who are anti-capitalist. Joe Biden will be little more than a malleable vehicle for the progressive left’s radical agenda. Waleed Shahid, communications director for Justice Democrats that was instrumental in getting AOC elected, described Biden’s emerging platform as “the most progressive platform of any Democratic nominee in the modern history of the party.”

United Nations bureaucrats won’t say so publicly, but they must be salivating at the prospect of a Biden presidency. They are confident that Biden is on their side and would prioritize the U.S.’s return to the disastrous Obama-Biden Iran nuclear deal and Paris climate agreement. UN Secretary General Guterres, who once served as secretary-general of the Socialist Party in his native Portugal, as vice president of Socialist International, and as Portugal’s prime minister, will find a willing partner in a “President” Joe Biden. To start with, they can work together on their new socialist social contracts.

De Blasio’s Elevator Doesn’t Go All The Way Up To The Top

De Blasio’s Elevator Doesn’t Go All The Way Up To The Top

‘New York Commerce Killer’ Mayor Bill de Blasio is caricatured in a banner unfurled for all to see over the iconic Staten Island Expressway. in a banner, showing Hiz Honor decked out in a T-Shirt imprinted by the not-so-dearly-departed Marxist killer Che Guevara and holding the severed head of Lady Liberty.

“It’s what he’s doing to New York, he’s severing the head of the greatest city on Earth,” Scott LoBaido, the artist behind the banner, told the New York Post.” (Fox News, July 22, 2020)

“New York has turned into a sh—hole because of this guy,” LoBaido continued. “He hates the true New Yorkers – police officers, firefighters … people who built this city.”

“The artist’s banner appeared on an overpass at Exit 13B of the expressway during the afternoon rush hour, the Post reported.

“De Blasio, 59, now serving his second term as mayor of the nation’s largest city, is among a group of Democratic mayors across the nation who have been taking heat from their constituents – as well as from President Trump and other Republicans – for their handling of the coronavirus pandemic, the rioting and other unrest that has followed the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, and recent spikes in shootings and other crimes.

“Earlier this month, President Trump took aim at de Blasio after reports that New York City planned to slash the city’s police budget by $1 billion and paint a “Black Lives Matter” mural in the street along Fifth Avenue, directly outside Trump Tower.

“De Blasio – who later helped Black Lives Matter activists paint the mural – responded to the president by implying that Trump was a racist.

“Here’s what you don’t understand,” de Blasio wrote. “Black people BUILT 5th Ave and so much of this nation. Your ‘luxury’ came from THEIR labor, for which they have never been justly compensated. We are honoring them. The fact that you see it as denigrating your street is the definition of racism.”

Before taking time out to play Crayon Politics with BLM, de Blasio proved that his elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top by ordering that only one person will be allowed in elevators when businesses return to work, but as The Daily Mail pointed out…”fails to mention that it only applies when people aren’t wearing masks and they can in fact run at 50% capacity”.

“In New York City there were just 59 hospitalizations on Wednesday; 45 people died on Tuesday. (Daily Mail, May 26, 2020)

“Despite the low numbers, neither de Blasio nor Cuomo will let the city reopen.

“They say there aren’t enough free hospital beds and that they do not have enough contact tracers .

“Employers have to operate a 50% capacity, keep staff 6ft apart, provide them with free masks and let only one person in confined space at a time.

“Hundreds of small businesses have reopened quietly in defiance of the order – de Blasio called it ‘idiotic’.

“He says he’ll fine them $1,000 then keep issuing fines if they disobey the order

On Thursday he ranted that businesses do not get to make up their own rules and said proudly: ‘You have earned your way to the gateway of phase one’ but wouldn’t declare it.

De Blasio a limousine liberal transported about town by chauffeurs

Bottom liner Catholic blogger Ann Barnhardt wrote in today’s post that “New York City has committed suicide by allowing only one person permitted in an elevator car at a time”. (Ann Barnhardt)

De Blasio who spends most of his time coming up with new ways to kill off commerce doesn’t understand the business world.

Riding elevators one at a time in a city of skyscrapers like New York has replaced the days when America rode the rails in trains like the one called ‘The City of New Orleans’, memorialized by folk singer Arlo Guthrie.

You can bet your sinking business that de Blasio never rode the rails with the little people,  as a limousine liberal transported about town by chauffeurs.

Meanwhile the New York Mayor is walking proof that derangement is far more contagious than the Coronavirus.

You Simply Cannot Imagine the Amount of Abject Misery in this Place — So Sad!


Posted originally on the Conservative Tree House on July 23, 2020 by 

You cannot explain it.  Pure unadulterated misery in every corner. It’s a million times worse than you could fathom.  The most singularly depressing town in the entire universe. And if you know anyone who enjoys it here, that tells you just how far disconnected they are from the rest of our nation.   There is nothing here except misery and functionaries, human robots, carrying through with their duties without any idea why.

When I say this is a lifeless soulless place.  You must imagine my new context to really understand it.   Staying in a hotel with only one, perhaps a handful, of other guest(s) is a rather remarkable sense of living amid misery in real life.

Yes, it’s like a living example of The Shining, sans the death-knock of the twins in the middle of the night.   That is correct.  Trump International DC – and NO GUESTS.  It’s a desolate, depressing, empty dystopian hotel nightmare hidden from all normal people in America including me.  I had no idea the metastasized rot had already spread to the central nervous system.   Eric needs to sell this place, and fast – it’s over.

Restaurants closed.  Everything closed.  Lights out.  DARK. Want to eat, go to the grocery store and hope for bologna and some bread.  Everything on television/internet is a lie.  I know, I’m here.  They must import stand-in’s for POTUS visits to this place.

From what I can tell the DC mayor has targeted her closures in a manner as to inflict the maximum damage on Trump properties and holdings.  I would estimate Trump International DC is bleeding around $100k per day currently/ perhaps more… depending on how much air conditioning they shut down.

DC as a whole is the same.  An 8:00pm walk and you see nothing… a city completely devoid of life…. no cars… no people…  nothing.   A few rats scurrying from sidewalk to planter shelf, and a few scooters laying sideways in the middle of the sidewalk with ever dimming green circles as the batteries pulsate and run out.

I mean this town is dead.

The word misery is so far removed from the depressed stares amid the soulless eyes, that it would take a thousand years of bliss for a glimmer of hope to reappear.   This place is an abhorrent Potemkin village of what appears on the nightly news about it.

This is my first visit as a non-tourist.   So I am able to see the people who are attempting to manage their way through this nightmare.  It is far, far worse than anything you can imagine.

Be thankful for your local debate about schools opening, wearing masks and assorted nuance.  This is not that.

This town is the hollowed carcass of a cockroach still moving from the maggots that have taken the remaining source of nutrition.   Every eye behind the mask shows misery, fear, and disconnection from the world we know… you know.

It’s bizarre and even though I have been here many times before, this time I simply cannot describe it adequately.  DC is lost.  Lost not because it has fallen ill to some COVID-19 infection, but literally lost to the premise of our nation’s capital.

There are no people here.  There are robots trying to reach the charging stations.

For the first time in my life I’m not sure I want President Trump to win another term.   Who in their right mind would wish this on anyone.

More later….

Maybe
