    Second coming of once-banned conspiracy theorists after Twitter amnesty

    Washington (AFP) – A conspiracy theorist urging Americans to burn voting machines, an anti-Muslim activist posting a photo with a gun, a retired general who called for a coup — Elon Musk’s Twitter has reinstated thousands of once-banned accounts.

    Twitter has turned into what campaigners call a cesspool of misinformation, hate-filled conspiracies and racial slurs amid what appears to be reduced content moderation in recent weeks following mass layoffs and an exodus of key staff focused on user safety.

    Musk, a self-proclaimed free speech absolutist who completed his $44 billion buyout of the influential platform in October, has further stoked alarm by restoring what one expert estimates are over 27,000 accounts once suspended for fuelling falsehoods, harassment and violence.

    “Restoring these accounts will make the platform a magnet for actors who want to spread misinformation,” Jonathan Nagler, co-director of the New York University’s Center for Social Media and Politics, told AFP.

    “And there will likely be less moderation of hate speech, making the platform less hospitable to many users.”

    Those reinstated include far-right activists, anti-Muslim extremists as well as others peddling election conspiracies and Covid-19 misinformation, according to an analysis by the non-profit Media Matters of dozens of restored accounts with millions of combined followers.

    Among those allowed back is former US President Donald Trump, who was handed a “permanent” ban by Twitter after his supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

    Trump has so far resisted the offer to return and remained on Truth Social, a platform he founded where his following pales in comparison to his Twitter account with 87.7 million followers.

    ‘Misinformation superspreaders’

    Many other reinstated influencers have actively returned to the platform, including flamboyant anti-Muslim activist Pamela Geller and Mindy Robinson, a supporter of the QAnon conspiracy movement whose first tweet after being restored included a picture of herself with a gun.

    Also reinstated was controversial former kickboxer Andrew Tate, who is notorious for his misogynistic remarks. After a heated Twitter exchange with environmentalist Greta Thunberg, Tate was recently arrested in Romania for alleged human trafficking and rape.

    After thanking Musk for restoring his account, election conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell called on his followers to “melt down the electronic voting machines and turn them into prison bars.”

    Former national security advisor Michael Flynn, who once appeared to endorse the idea for a Myanmar-style coup in the United States, also thanked Musk on Friday — the second anniversary of the January 6 insurrection — after his account was restored.

    “Under Musk, misinformation superspreaders are emboldened, and readers have less information about the reliability of the sources feeding them news and information,” Jack Brewster, from the media watchdog NewsGuard, told AFP.

    Musk’s interventions, he added, “have the effect of catering to the extreme — on both sides of the aisle — and obscuring readers’ path to high-quality information.”

    Twitter has not publicly said how many accounts have been reinstated.

    Several advocacy groups, including Media Matters and Accountable Tech, pointed to data gathered by Travis Brown, a software developer based in Berlin.

    Brown has compiled an online list of more than 27,000 reinstated Twitter IDs since Musk’s takeover in late October. Brown told AFP that the list was incomplete and the actual number of restored accounts could be higher.

    ‘Dangerous decisions’
    In a tweet in mid-December, the company said that “permanent suspension was a disproportionate action for breaking Twitter rules.”

    “We recently started reinstating accounts that were suspended for violations of these policies and plan to expand to more accounts weekly over the next 30 days.”

    Apparently seeking to allay the concerns of advertisers and users on the platform, it added that Twitter remained “fully committed to preventing harmful content and bad actors.”

    But in a test of that commitment, the platform recently saw an explosion of anti-vaccine conspiracies after NFL player Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest during a match.

    Tweets mentioning “died suddenly” –- a phrase that references an anti-vaccine film –- spiked on the platform, according to the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH).

    Some of those peddling the conspiratorial phrase were once-banned accounts that have been restored, CCDH told AFP.

    Musk has sought to shake up the money-losing company after his acquisition.

    The South African-born billionaire has said his interventions at Twitter have saved the company and announced that he would step down as chief executive once he finds “someone foolish enough to take the job”.

    “Fixing Twitter requires more than just replacing Musk,” Nora Benavidez, from the nonpartisan group Free Press, told AFP.

    “It requires a series of measures to reverse dangerous policy decisions Musk has made, reinvest in content moderation and enforcement, and restructure the governance of the platform.”

    Twitter | Thousands of reinstated accounts threaten to explode misinformation

    (Washington) Under the direction of Elon Musk, Twitter recently restored tens of thousands of accounts, some of which belonged to conspirators or opponents of vaccination,at the risk of reviving a phenomenon of misinformation on the social network.

    Anuj CHOPRA France Media Agency

    According to developer Travis Brown quoted by several organizations, more than 27,000 restored accounts had been suspended for misinformation, harassment and displays of hatred.

    Contacted by AFP, he said his list was incomplete and that the number of such accounts could be higher.

    “Restoring these accounts will make the platform a magnet for actors who want to spread false information,” warns Jonathan Nagler, co-director of the Center on Social Media and Politics at NYU (New York University).

    “And there will be less moderation of hate speech, which will make the network less hospitable for many users,” he adds.

    Among the personalities returning to the blue bird, “antivax” figures such as cardiologist Peter McCullough or doctor Robert Malone, who had been suspended a year ago for having warned against the supposed dangerousness of vaccines against the coronavirus, without verified information to support it.

    Since lifting the suspension of his account, Robert Malone, who has more than 869,000 subscribers, has posted several messages relaying false information about the vaccine against COVID-19.

    Among the former outcasts again authorized on the social network, there is also former President Donald Trump, who nevertheless keeps, for the moment, to his promise not to return and to use only the social network Truth Social, which he created himself last year.

    Mike Lindell is one of those who have taken up the torch. Suspended twice in 2021, the CEO of the My Pillow company and unconditional supporter of Donald Trump called, as soon as his account was restored, to “melt down the electronic voting machines to make them prison bars”.

    A direct reference to the conspiracy theory that the vote count in the 2020 presidential election was manipulated with the help of voting machines, which has never been demonstrated.

    Also readmitted on Twitter, the far-right activist Pamela Geller, presented by the legal organization for the fight against extremism Southern Poverty Law Center as “one of the most flamboyant anti-Muslim activists in the United States”.

    “Reinvest in moderation”
    Earlier this week, the creator of The Geller Report site posted a message about Muslim students who had complained that a professor had shown them images of the Prophet Muhammad.

    “Have they beheaded him yet?” “, she tweeted, in reference to the murder of the French professor of history and geography Samuel Paty, in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, in the suburbs of Paris, in October 2020.

    “Under the Musk era, the ‘super-spreaders’ of disinformation feel encouraged and readers have less information available on the reliability of sources,” said Jack Brewster of the NewsGuard media observatory.

    In mid-December, Twitter had indicated in a publication on its platform that a “permanent suspension was a disproportionate measure for breaking the rules” of the social network.

    Elon Musk then clarified that Twitter “remains committed to preventing dangerous content” on its site, as well as “malicious actors”. “Reinstated accounts must always follow our rules.”

    Twitter was taken to task this week after an incident involving Buffalo Bills football player Damar Hamlin.

    The 24-year-old defender’s cardiac arrest on Monday after a shock on the pitch was the occasion for many Twitter users to make a connection with the coronavirus vaccine.

    “Before the COVID-19 vaccines, you didn’t see athletes falling hard on the field like it happens today,” tweeted Republican House Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. “It’s time to investigate COVID-19 vaccines. »

    While Elon Musk has recently indicated that he plans to hand over the management of Twitter, it will “take more to fix” the platform, warns Nora Benavidez of the Free Press media observatory.

    It will be necessary, she warns, to take “a series of measures to reverse Musk’s changes, reinvest in moderation and restructure the governance of the platform”.

      “Brazilian Freedom Fighters,” Steve Bannon posted on Gettr. “Lula stole the Election, Brazilians know that …Release the Machines.”

      People who supported or helped organize the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol are now voicing their approval of Sunday’s violent attack on Brazil’s Congress after they spent months boosting conspiracies about stolen elections in the South American country.

      Former White house adviser Steve Bannon and Stop the Steal founder Ali Alexander were among the most prominent voices cheering on the thousands of people who attacked government buildings in Brazil, while QAnon supporters said they stood in solidarity with the Brazilian rioters while simultaneously spreading fresh conspiracies about who was behind the attack.

      Even though former President Jair Bolsonaro has denounced the violence, and the attacks have led to mass arrests, Bannon posted multiple messages on the fringe, extremist platform Gettr to show his support for those involved.

      “Brazilian Freedom Fighters,” Bannon wrote. “Lula stole the Election, Brazilians know that …Release the Machines.”

      On Monday morning, Bannon continued to boost baseless conspiracies about stolen elections in Brazil. “The Brazilian people have yet to receive even one answer on the never ending questions surrounding the election—an election that ended in razor thin margins in a runoff …Release the Machines,” he wrote on Gettr.

      Move comes day after supporters of ex-president Jair Bolsonaro raided Congress, Supreme Court and palace

      Heavily armed police started on Monday to clear clusters of radical Bolsonaro supporters who since his election defeat in October to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva have camped outside army bases, claiming the result was rigged and calling for a coup.

      Local media estimated about 5,000 demonstrators had joined the camps, scores of whom were arrested in Monday’s operation.

      The security forces also cleared protesters in São Paulo, who for two hours had blocked a key highway with burning tyres.

      […]“We have a portion of the population that does not agree with democracy and this is extremely serious.”

      […]Following the raids, Alexandre de Moraes, a Supreme Court judge, ordered the suspension for 90 days of the governor of Brasília, Ibaneis Rocha, for being “painfully absent” from his duties.

      De Moraes also ordered that pro-Bolsonaro encampments outside army bases across the nation be cleared within 24 hours.

      […]Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a US Democratic congresswoman, called for “the US to cease granting refuge to Bolsonaro in Florida”.

      The protesters stormed the National Congress and Supreme Court.

      Police used tear gas to confront the protersts. Police on horseback were attacked, Gunfire was reported.

      The people fear the communist Lula, his Supreme Court Justice Moraes, and the communists supporting their takeover of South America’s largest country.

      China and their lapdog Joe Biden supported the international criminal Lula da Silva, a committed Marxist and convicted felon.

      Everyone Should Exercise Caution Before Rushing To Judgement On What Just Happened In Brazil

      Far from being a failed so-called “fascist and terrorist coup” attempt, it convincingly appears as though Sunday’s sequence of events was artificially manufactured via collusion between the American and Brazilian “deep states” in order to advance their shared ideological agendas.

      • Interesting, I can agree with most of what he is saying. The problem the deep state faces in the US is cracking down so hard the conservatives decide they have no choice besides kinetic revolt. An attempt to prosecute the conservatives on faked charges will force the decision on a kinetic revolt.

      The MSM is finally noticing Brazil after 80 days of censorship. Now that they can use yesterday’s protests to their “globalist integrative narrative” they finally report on the stolen election in South America’s greatest country.

      Mathew Tyrmand was on the War Room this morning where he shared the following:

      Brazil has it with their courts. They live under a judicial tyranny. An autocracy of judges who were not elected but were appointed by politicians. And obviously the greatest example is Lula appointed many of them and they let him out of prison.

      Tyrmand then went on to describe how the corrupt Supreme Court in Brazil released Lula from prison and absolved him of all his crimes so he could run for President once again. They then expunged his record so that he could run for office getting rid of the felony that prevented Lula from qualifying to run for office.

      205

      Tyrmand then talked about how Lula literally again told the world who he was. TGP reported on this.

      Insurrections galore spark off all of a sudden, and 2023 was just born days ago! Want to know why? Because the business model of the global economy is broken and the supposed remedy for that is centralized control of populations and super-strict regulation of all their activities — that is, techno-tyranny (with Marxist characteristics, as the Chinese like to put it). Not everybody wants to ride that bus, and so an epic economic problem becomes an arduous political struggle, here and elsewhere in the world.

      A great mob of many thousands went apeshit in Brazil over the weekend in that country’s weird, geographically isolated capital, Brasilia, a horror of 1960s-style Modernist city planning. They stormed the national congress and trashed the offices within to protest the fishy election of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva over the former incumbent Jair Bolsonaro. As in our own country, the quarrel was over the mysterious behavior of voting machines and the unwillingness of election officials or courts to verify the results.

    After he was set up and removed from White House, Flynn was persecuted by lawless Judge Emmet Sullivan in a case that was dropped by the DOJ but Sullivan refused to dismiss for several months. For some reason this crooked judge is still lording over American citizens from the bench to this day.

      Election Fraud Infrastructure: Your Government At Work!

      Guest post by Jay Valentine

      There is nothing so unnerving as government-initiated election fraud, perpetrated by both political parties, hiding in plain sight. This is the world we live in — the one Republicans are about to encounter.

      The most basic ingredient for industrial-scale voter fraud is the voter roll, fat with phantom names and addresses. Someone may be able to transport 250,000 paper ballots from New York to Pennsylvania, leave the truck in the parking lot, and find it gone when he returns.

      Those ballots are useless paper if not tied to an identity at a real address.

      The hard part is creating people and addresses — it is an industrial-scale operation.

      Just think how hard it would be for you and your pals to create 250,000 fake names and tie each to a real address.

      You need to create those voters — the way the pros do — which leaves out the Republicans. Make it government work.
      Here’s how it’s done.

      Arizona, a state with a Republican governor and Republican legislature at the time, has a nice little law to help out. Go look this baby up. Basically, it says, hey, all you “non-partisan” NGOs (non-governmental agencies), want to register voters? Heres a portal to do it. Just log on, enter at least 1,000 new voters, and you are good to go.

      What could go wrong? Kari Lake, maybe?

      RINOs are easily swayed about getting everyone to vote — you can see the League of Women Voter types making such an argument.

      Let’s not pick on Arizona. In Wisconsin, those boys and girls created an app. That’s really hip.

      Our Fractal friends in Wisconsin discovered a downloadable phone app, on the App Store, tied to the Wisconsin Election Commission, to register new voters.

      And register away they did!

      Our Fractal analysts have eyewitness accounts of people standing at gas stations registering Wisconsin voters as they filled up their cars.

      Do you think Ronna McDaniel’s team was at those gas stations, or maybe Mark Elias’s friends and fans? C’mon, want to bet on who used that app?

      As clueless Republicans rally to their new charter — “let’s start tracking those ballots, like the Democrats do,” they run headlong into “sovereign voter fraud,” which means the government, at every level, is in on it.

      State governments like Arizona and Wisconsin, quite different in so many ways, agree they should enable voter rolls to be fattened by anyone who wants to take the time to do it.

      Our live data, in both states, show voter rolls with 10% to 18% anomalous records — meaning there is something to check out. We get into exactly what at our website, http://www.Omega4America.com.

      Both states agree that there should be no serious voter roll clean-up.

      In Wisconsin, they have far more registrations on the rolls than there are voters. They keep their inactives, even if they are dead. Never know when the dead or moved might come in handy.

      Arizona lets people vote from R.V. parks — the kind where it’s a week’s stay. Arizona lets people vote from “no address.”

      We found 8,000 people in Arizona registered at hotels. In most states, that’s a disqualifier. Not in Arizona. The state encourages it.

      People, the government is in on it!

      Remember, Arizona had a Republican legislature and governor. If you think RINOs do not cause Republicans to lose elections, welcome to Arizona.

      Democrats learned long ago that the secret to winning elections was fattened voter rolls. It started with ACORN — which was so over-the-top obvious that it got busted.

      Those ACORN types then did what leftists always do: join with their media friends and RINOs and made registering every living thing a government-driven enterprise.

      They brought in George Soros and created ERIC — an organization giving cover to recalcitrant secretaries of state on voter roll fattening. Using ERIC, states can claim, and write checks to prove that they are fighting phantom voters through ERIC.

      Louisiana and Alabama woke up — they tossed ERIC the first time they read about it at The GatewayPundit! Good for them! Twenty-nine other states still use ERIC — many of them Republican.

      Aha, but clever voter integrity teams are innovating fast themselves.

      Non-leftist voter integrity was pretty much born after the Trump election disaster.

      After 2020, voter integrity teams appeared from nowhere. They are now in their third year, and some of them, like Wisconsin, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Florida, are way ahead of the leftist voter-harvesting machines. We have the pleasure of knowing some of them.

      The RNC, major political campaigns, and the Republican leadership believe they can get ahead of the institutionalized voter fraud in 2024. They think they can outrun it by a “ballot strategy” and getting Republicans to vote early.

      Don’t email me on this — I know, it’s truly stupid. It’s the Republicans. What do you expect?

      Voter integrity teams have some pretty cool surprises.

      One of the most promising, going into production in Nevada and Wisconsin, is comparing county property tax records with voter rolls.

      Here we have two government databases that do not agree on whether your address — which you claimed is your house at that gas station registration — is actually a convenience store!

      Look, here it is — your home address is a 7-Eleven!

      Since we can determine the living space for every home, we alert the teams to 14 voters in that 800-square-foot home with one bath. Check it out!

      Another innovation is the “unmailable address list.” This one is fun, since it just popped out of the woodwork with 12 states in 2022.

      Using artificial intelligence address-matching, something way beyond current commercial technology, we determine which addresses can receive mail and which cannot — at scale — as in millions of addresses — instantly.

      We have over 1.7 billion addresses in our system.

      Every address in America can be shown multiple ways — with abbreviations, misspellings, so you get to the billions pretty fast. Which are real, fake, misspellings, abbreviations? We can tell.

      Which address can receive a mail ballot? Is that address being mailed a ballot — even though it is an undeliverable address?

      Addresses are fluid, new addresses are added, sometimes entire fake streets made up and ZIP codes changed — then changed back. It is a real time – a constant endeavor.

      Fractal Programming does it in seconds, across billions of records, on a computer the size of a shoebox.

      To stop the massive election fraud built into U.S. election systems, people must realize that most of the fraud is government-sponsored, supported, or tolerated.

      The winning strategy is to stop it before it impacts elections. Clean those voter rolls.

      Imagination, leadership, and a bit of disruptive technology, and we might just get there for 2024!

    This story is a toxic brew of anti-Christianity, mental illness, and overall lawlessness in a far-left city. Last week, biological male pretending to be female allegedly burned down a historic church in Portland because he was hearing voices in his head.

    On Tuesday, January 3 around 5:30 PM, Cameron David Storer, who goes by “Nicolette Fait,” allegedly destroyed the historic 117 -year-old Portland Korean Church. He explained later to investigators that voices in his head would “mutilate” him if did not commit the crime.

  7. Crypto Billionaires’ Subsequent Deaths Spark Wild Theories Among The Community

    Many blamed the deaths on billionaires’ past, while others suspected some form of foul play and even execution…

    The death of four crypto billionaires within a month has caught the crypto community’s attention. These deaths occurred under suspicious circumstances, and more importantly, some of these billionaires have raised alarms about being in danger.

    The death spiral started towards the end of October when Nikolai Mushegian, the co-founder of MakerDAO, was found dead on a Puerto Rican beach just hours after tweeting that intelligence agencies were after him. The next billionaire to perish was broker Javier Biosca, who was found dead on Nov. 22, 2022, in Estepona. At the time, Biosca was being investigated for the biggest cryptocurrency fraud in Spain.

    On Nov. 23, 2022, Amber Group’s co-founder Tiantian Kullander, was found dead mysteriously in his sleep. Just two days later, Russian crypto billionaire Vyacheslav Taran died in a helicopter crash.

    Apart from these four suspicious deaths, another death made headlines on Dec. 30 when Mr. Park Mo, the vice president of Vidente, the largest shareholder of South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb, was found dead mysteriously in front of his house in the early morning.

    The four deaths of crypto billionaires within a month’s time gave fuel to several conspiracy theories among the crypto community. One user associated the string of deaths with a mafia-style hit job and said that the “crypto world is taking a page from the mafia handbook.”

    Another user associated the death spiral with the “central banking hierarchy,” sarcastically saying, “I would definitely not put money on it being connected to the central banking hierarchy. There is no way. They are very trustworthy. 100% no chance.”

    Others questioned the source of the information but did acknowledge the fact that four deaths in less than a month call for some suspicion. While a few Redditors also pointed towards the possibility of faking deaths, where one user wrote, “I wonder how many of these are people faking their own deaths.”

    Many Redditors also speculated that these billionaires might be living under fake names and they are using death to start a new inning in their life.

    The deaths of four crypto billionaires are for sure a cause of concern, but the crypto ecosystem is known for its fascination with conspiracy theories. A similar saga erupted in May 2020 when the CEO of defunct crypto exchange QuadrigaCX mysteriously died during a visit to India.

    Conservative Catholics still mourning the tragic passing of Pope Benedict XVI may receive some good news in the near future. A group of Vatican conservatives apparently want to remove his woke, anti-capitalist successor Pope Francis in hopes of replacing Francis with one of their own.

    The Daily Telegraph reported Sunday that Francis’s conservative adversaries in the Vatican have a “secret plan” to force him to resign. This scheme moved into motion “days” after Benedict XVI’s death.

    Vatican conservatives have long been critical of Francis’s support for open borders, communion for remarried divorcees, and more moderate views on abortion and homosexuality. The Telegraph notes they will need time to both gather consensus and to “weaken” Francis.

    Here’s the story from The Telegraph:

    New York, New York – Thousands of nurses began to strike on Monday after negotiations failed between the New York State Nurses Association and hospital executives.

    7,100 nurses from Mount Sinai Hospital and Montefiore Bronx began picketing at 6 am on Monday.

    We were heroes only two years ago,” one nurse said. “We was on the front lines of the city when everything came to a stop. And now we need to come to a stop so they can understand how much we mean to this hospital and to the patients.”

    The nurses say they are caring for too many patients at a time due to staffing problems

    Thousands of nurses went on strike Monday at two of New York City’s major hospitals after contract negotiations stalled over staffing and salaries nearly three years into the coronavirus pandemic.

    The privately owned hospitals were postponing nonemergency surgeries, diverting ambulances to other medical centers, pulling in temporary staffers, and assigning administrators with nursing backgrounds to work in wards in order to cope with the walkout.

    As many as 3,500 nurses at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx and about 3,600 at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan were off the job. Hundreds picketed, some singing the chorus from Twisted Sister’s 1984 hit “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” outside Mount Sinai. It was one of many New York hospitals deluged with COVID-19 patients as the virus made the city an epicenter of deaths in spring 2020.

The War Room revealed today that The Daily Beast’s Roger Sollenberger, who has become known for his smears of prominent conservatives, used to work for a sanctioned military company closely linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

    Before entering the corporate “journalism” world, Sollenberger worked as an employee for the CCP-linked drone company DJI. This company has ties to the China’s military and has been sanctioned by the U.S. Government since 2017 for “selectively targeting government and privately owned entities within these sectors to expand its ability to collect and exploit sensitive U.S. data.”

    A number of Democratic lawmakers are outraged that Brazil’s far-right former president Jair Bolsonaro has since last month been comfortably residing in Florida, even as violence descended on the Brazilian capital over the weekend, as his supporters numbering in the tens of thousands stormed government buildings.

    This as there are emerging reports on Monday that he’s been admitted to an Orlando hospital, according to Brazilian media sources:

    Jair Bolsonaro has just been admitted to AdventHealth Celebration, a 220-bed hospital outside Orlando, Florida. He claims to have severe abdominal pain. Since the surgery he underwent after the 2018 stabbing, Bolsonaro has been hospitalized a few times because of abdominal pain. The most recent occurred in November, when he was admitted to the Armed Forces Hospital, in Brasília. In January and March of last year, the former president was also affected by the same problem.

    Authored by Steve Kovac via The Epoch Times,

    In October 2022, the Colorado Secretary of State’s office acknowledged that it mailed more than 31,000 voter registration instruction cards to foreign nationals living in the state.

    The registration information was sent out in the months leading up to the 2022 midterm elections.

    In a Jan. 5, 2023 press release, the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), said, “The Secretary of State’s office blamed a ‘data analytical error’ for the non-citizens in 58 counties receiving voter registration materials.”

    PILF, a national election integrity watchdog group, is investigating who was responsible for the mailing and how state election roll maintenance is conducted in Colorado.

    Colorado’s contractual relationship with the Election Registration Information Center (ERIC), a non-profit organization offering voter roll maintenance services to 32 states, needs to be examined, according to investigators (pdf).

    In the press release, PILF alleged, “ERIC played a significant role in this error.”

  15. GREAT AMERICA
    A Rendezvous With Rwanda?
    As Americans separate, do we really know the final consequences of what the diversity, equity, and inclusion tribalism truly entails?
    By Victor Davis Hanson

    January 8, 2023
    “Despite being Black, he [Rep. Byron Donalds] supports a policy agenda intent on upholding and perpetuating white supremacy.”—Representative Cori Bush (D-Mo.)

    “Larry Elder [former candidate for governor of California] is the Black face of white supremacy. You’ve been warned.”—Erika Smith, Los Angeles Times columnist

    America is an increasingly multiracial society. Despite its early history of slavery and racial segregation, and ongoing bias and tensions, the United States remains one of the few contemporary multiracial constitutional systems that have actually worked. Yet recently few have appreciated that achievement.

    Usually multiracial nations and empires—Yugoslavia, the former Soviet Union, the Austro-Hungarian, and Ottoman empires—require some level of coercion incompatible with a democratic constitution to force calm. Brazil, India, Lebanon, Nigeria, and Kenya may be currently multiracial democracies in theory, but in fact they are often sectarian and tribal cauldrons.

    In most such places, pride, solidarity—and even safety—are only found through common religious, ethnic, and racial bonds that become all-encompassing. The individual’s primary allegiance to each particular warring group inevitably becomes incompatible with every other’s overriding loyalties.

    Report Ad
    The United States is insidiously nearing that abyss. It has all but renounced its old commitment to the melting-pot, and a “content-of-our-character” ideal of assimilation and integration within a common culture. But as we obsess on race and accordingly separate, do we really know the final consequences of what the diversity/equity/inclusion tribalism actually entails?

    The first rule of tribalism is that the racial or ethnic collective superimposes solidarity over the individual, who then becomes a mere cog in racial-political wheel. Conservatives such as Larry Elder or Byron Donalds become especially despised as examples of successful individuals who reject tribal labels and loyalties. Are LeBron James, Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.), and Representative Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) all to be black comrades first and quite different individuals second—if at all? In the same manner, do Adam Schiff, Devin Nunes, Donald Trump, and Mark Milley all share identical and overriding loyalty to “whiteness,” to the degree that we forget about their individual personalities?

    Report Ad
    One strange aspect of this new racialization is a post-Al Sharpton, post-Louis Farrakhan growing exemption accorded to elite and privileged minorities to stereotype others—blacks, though more often whites—in toxic, sometimes repulsive fashion. If embraced by any others, such hatred would be career ending. A few examples suffice:

    In a 2021 video, Brittney Cooper, an associate professor of women’s and gender studies and Africana studies at Rutgers University, claimed that white people were “villains.” She predicted that “whiteness is going to have an end date,” and she grew a bit heated in her desire to hasten that inevitable “end date” with the rally cry: “We gotta take these muthaf—ers out.” Cooper did not explain the methodology by which America will “take out” white people.

    Earlier, Texas A&M professor Tommy Curry earned some temporary buzz by casually stating in a class, “Today I want to talk about killing white people in context.” In a much-watched video, he also matter of factly opined, “In order to be equal, in order to be liberated, some white people might have to die.” We might call this new genre “snuff racism,” in which the new racism legitimizes eliminationist rhetoric.

    But as a precursor to what, exactly?

    In a lecture sponsored by the Yale School of Medicine, psychiatrist Aruna Khilanani gushed that she “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.”

    We are told by the diversity industry that “words matter” and have “consequences.” Perhaps they do, given that such violent trash-talking of obscure academics can filter into the larger society. Is that why “The View” co-host Sonny Hostin, resorting to once taboo Hitlerian arthropod imagery, recently compared white suburban women to cockroaches and Republicans to insecticide: “I read a poll just yesterday that white, Republican, suburban women are now going to vote Republican. It’s almost like roaches voting for Raid, right?” Substitute “black” for “white” and Hostin would be out of a career under the rules of her own cancel culture.

    Whoopi Goldberg on the same show reduced the Holocaust into an intramural war between “white people”; her convoluted “apologies” only confirmed that she was historically ignorant and deeply prejudiced.

    Not too long ago Damon Young, an occasional New York Times contributor pontificated, “Whiteness is a public health crisis. It shortens life expectancies, it pollutes air, it constricts equilibrium, it devastates forests, it melts ice caps, it sparks (and funds) wars, it flattens dialects, it infests consciousnesses, and it kills people . . . .”

    If that were true, then I suppose Young should call Sonny Hostin for the Raid spray, Professor Cooper for the take-out solution, or Dr. Khilanani for a revolver.

    Report Ad
    The elite pundit and racialist Elie Mystal infamously wrote, “I can, more or less, only deal with whiteness when I want to . . . White people haven’t improved; I’ve just been able to limit my exposure to them.” Lester Maddox or Bull Connor would have nodded in approval.

    Mystal’s antebellum choices loudly to self-separate are his own. But meanwhile his neo-segregation views accelerate and encompass everything from racially set-aside college “theme houses” to selecting roommates on the basis of race. Rarely has Mystal’s Plessy v. Ferguson utopianism been more openly resurrected than at an off-campus U.C. Berkeley student dormitory. There residents were proudly warned to exclude entrance on the basis of race: “Many POC moved here to be able to avoid white violence and presence, so respect their decision of avoidance if you bring white guests. White guests are not allowed in common spaces.”

    How, in 2023, such apartheid rules are allowed by quasi-public housing reflects just how pervasive and venomous woke orthodoxy permeates society, and how bankrupt appeasing institutions have become.

    Of course, to enforce this sort of “white guests are not allowed” apartheid, segregationists will eventually have to revisit and consult past handbooks of their racist kindred spirits to figure out the occasional borderline cases. Have the Berkeley racists yet determined whether a black resident could bring in a half-white guest? Or whether a blond-haired, blue-eyed Spanish-speaking Argentine may enter through the front door? Is a gay or disabled white intruder allowed in the back entrance?

    Note how class considerations disappear. And why not, given the most vehement racial incendiaries are so often among the wealthiest and most privileged of all Americans? By definition, an Oprah Winfrey or an Ibram X. Kendi are said to be victims. The Indiana Uber driver, the Modesto waitress, and the Anchorage custodian become their victimizers, simply by virtue of their shared whiteness—or rather their “white privilege” that has apparently earned them far more money, privilege, and influence than the victimized Winfrey or Kendi.

    In a multiracial society, who is who is increasingly impossible to ascertain, given intermarriage and our labyrinth of races, genders, sexual orientations, religions, and ethnicities. As a consequence of both racial rewards and stigmatization, opportunists will continually create either new racial personas, à la Elizabeth Warren or Rachel Dolezal, to monetize racial preferences, or continually seek advantage in victimhood by citing endless micro-oppressions or indeed inventing altogether discriminations, in the fashion of the Duchess Meghan Markle.

    The problem is not just determining what tribe, half-tribe, or quarter tribe to which we each belong, but calibrating the hierarchies of particular grievances that each claims amid the labyrinth of competing tribal oppressions.

    The force-multiplying effects of all these factors have now become absurd: is the half Brazilian with a Hispanic last name a “Latino” and does he have a shared reparatory claim on historic “discrimination” against Mexican Americans?

    Can the half Haitian, half Irish immigrant, claim to be 1) black, and 2) a victim of oppression by piggybacking onto the black American experience?

    Report Ad
    So ancient efforts to sort out racial, religious, or ethnic differences for the purposes of discrimination and worse are the woke’s ultimate model—from the Confederacy’s genealogical tables to root out the “one drop” to the Third Reich’s resort to yellow stars to ascertain who was Jewish. But any self-sustaining tribal categorization must descend into Orwellian paradoxes. Darker-skinned Punjabi immigrants are sort of privileged in terms of vaguely defined “diversity,” but not to the extent that they would impinge on reparatory hiring of, say, Latinos from anywhere on the globe, who in turn are often indistinguishable from Italian, Greek, or Armenian Americans who find no such affirmative action boosts.

    But still crazier, once a person goes fully tribal, then he opens the door to the laws of stereotypes, both its advantages and its boomerangs. If you insist the individual cedes to the group, then more than a half-century after the Civil Rights moments you will find only contradiction and hypocrisy in citing group underrepresentation and its causes. Asian Americans are overrepresented in many professions such as highly compensated orthodontists and pharmacists. Is that because they enjoyed inordinate racial leverage? Yet they are underrepresented as U.S. Marine officers; is that because of systemic racism?

    No one would dare require the NFL or the NBA “to look like America,” given blacks are variously overrepresented in these two lucrative professions by a magnitude of five to six times their demographics in the general population.

    To defend such racial engineering in sports, the argument of using non-meritocratic criteria to pass over black, talented running backs and favor Asian or Latino athletes solely on the basis of race—would be, well, racist. And, of course, such racial gerrymandering, it would be additionally argued, would lower the quality of professional sports itself, once talent was subordinated to race. And yet recently we are told the overrepresentation of black players in such a violent sport as professional football is now as racist as was prior underrepresentation.

    So how odd that in areas that are critical to the national well-being, from medical school admissions to airline pilot training programs, we insist that diversity’s non-meritocratic criteria are essential. Yet in contrast non-diversity, merit-based standards alone should govern professional basketball?

    In the matter of stereotypes, we have descended into yet another absurdity, using collective pigeon-holing when it serves tribal advantage and then decrying it as unfair when it becomes inconvenient.

    The word “white” is now an agreed-on pejorative as we see from Kendi’s denunciation of “white privilege” to chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley’s promises to learn about and then root out “white rage.” But where are the data used to confirm such a blanket accusation?

    Does Milley define “white rage” as the propensity of white males to die in combat in Afghanistan and Iraq at twice their numbers in the general population? According to the Pentagon new laws of woke, there must be culpability for such toxic disproportionality and thereby a woke corrective? A DEI czar might ask whether the armed services cynically targeted rural and southern whites and its recruiters “pushed” them into combat units?

    A few rubrics that might substantiate or reject “white rage” could be found by examining Justice Department and FBI data on homicide, violent crime, hate crimes—and interracial violent crimes. But in all those categories so-called whites are clearly what the diversity industry again calls “underrepresented.” In contrast, blacks are vastly overrepresented, at nearly double their demographics in hate crimes, and over five times in the commission of murders and violent assaults.

    Report Ad
    Would not a privileged, white, and angry or raging population be disproportionately violent rather than less violent and homicidal rather than suicidal? And yet whites have far higher suicide rates than do either blacks or Latinos? How is all that possible?

    As far as the current epidemic of officially reported antisemitic hate crime, blacks are vastly overrepresented as perpetrators. In New York City alone, black offenders account for 43 percent of reported hate crimes.

    There is no future to this sort of racial discrimination, segregation, and hatred. History informs us where it leads. We live in a society, after all, where exercise is now deemed racist, weight loss racist and using the word “American” or “immigrant” racist—as the race industry is clueless that when everything is deemed racist, then nothing can be racist.

    The only method of avoiding a Rwanda-style chaos is simply to forget racial categories, preferences, and reparatory actions entirely, and instead simply enforce the Civil Rights-era anti-discrimination laws on the books that were supposed to protect everyone from everyone but are now ignored and routinely violated by our own government.

  17. Feds Consider Ban on Gas-Powered Stoves to Address Pollution Problem

    A federal ‘safety agency’ is considering a ban on gas-powered stoves amid fears of ‘harmful pollutants.’

    The US Consumer Product Safety Commission said gas-powered stoves are a ‘hidden health hazard.’

    “Natural gas stoves, which are used in about 40% of homes in the US, emit air pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and fine particulate matter at levels the EPA and World Health Organization have said are unsafe and linked to respiratory illness, cardiovascular problems, cancer, and other health conditions, according to reports by groups such as the Institute for Policy Integrity and the American Chemical Society.” Bloomberg reported.

    Bloomberg reported:

    A federal agency says a ban on gas stoves is on the table amid rising concern about harmful indoor air pollutants emitted by the appliances.

    The US Consumer Product Safety Commission plans to take action to address the pollution, which can cause health and respiratory problems.

    “This is a hidden hazard,” Richard Trumka Jr., an agency commissioner, said in an interview. “Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned.”

    Consumer Reports, in October, urged consumers planning to buy a new range to consider going electric after tests conducted by the group found high levels of nitrogen oxide gases from gas stoves.

    The Bethesda, Maryland-based Consumer Product Safety Commission, which has a staff of roughly 500, plans to open public comment on hazards posed by gas stoves later this winter. Besides barring the manufacture or import of gas stoves, options include setting standards on emissions from the appliances, Trumka said.

    Lawmakers have weighed in, asking the commission to consider requiring warning labels, range hoods and performance standards. In a letter to the agency in December, lawmakers including Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey and Representative Don Beyer of Virginia, both Democrats, urged action and called gas-stove emissions a “cumulative burden” on Black, Latino and low-income households that disproportionately experience air pollution.

    Last September the California Air Resources Board voted to end the sale of natural gas heaters by 2030.

    The goal is to replace all gas-powered furnaces and water heaters with electric appliances.

    California can’t even keep the lights on as it is.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    • zero hedge – This Censorious Pfizer Board Member Was A Major Influence On Lockdowns

      The latest of the Twitter Files is reported by Alex Berenson, who was granted access to messaging systems from the times before Elon Musk took over.

      His first round of reporting concerns the role of Scott Gottlieb, who is a perfect example of an influencer who is technically outside of government but might as well be a powerful official within it.

      Gottlieb’s main gig now is as a senior fellow of the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, DC, but he also serves as a board member of Pfizer.

      Before joining AEI and Pfizer, he headed the Food and Drug Administration under Trump from 2017 to 2019. Before that, he was at Health and Human Services as a member of its Federal Health IT Policy Committee from 2013 to 2017.

    • substack – Unreported Truths

      From the Twitter Files: Pfizer board member Scott Gottlieb secretly pressed Twitter to hide posts challenging his company’s massively profitable Covid jabs

      On August 27, 2021, Dr. Scott Gottlieb – a Pfizer director with over 550,000 Twitter followers – saw a tweet he didn’t like, a tweet that might hurt sales of Pfizer’s mRNA vaccines.

      The tweet explained correctly that natural immunity after Covid infection was superior to vaccine protection. It called on the White House to “follow the science” and exempt people with natural immunity from upcoming vaccine mandates.

      It came not from an “anti-vaxxer” like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., but from Dr. Brett Giroir, a physician who had briefly followed Gottlieb as the head of the Food & Drug Administration. Further, the tweet actually encouraged people who did not have natural immunity to “Get vaccinated!”

      No matter.

      By suggesting some people might not need Covid vaccinations, the tweet could raise questions about the shots. Besides being former FDA commissioner, a CNBC contributor, and a prominent voice on Covid public policy, Gottlieb was a senior board member at Pfizer, which depended on mRNA jabs for almost half its $81 billion in sales in 2021. Pfizer paid Gottlieb $365,000 for his work that year.

      Gottlieb stepped in, emailing Todd O’Boyle, a top lobbyist in Twitter’s Washington office who was also Twitter’s point of contact with the White House.

      The post was “corrosive,” Gottlieb wrote. He worried it would “end up going viral and driving news coverage.”

    Where are the machine-gun toting agents?

    The Justice Department is looking into classified documents from Joe Biden’s time as Vice President discovered at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in DC.

    According to CNN, Joe Biden’s attorneys discovered the classified documents in the private office which included top-secret files with the “sensitive compartmented information” (SCIF) designation LAST FALL just days before the midterm elections.

    The National Archives referred the incident to the Justice Department.

    Hillary Rodham Clinton, after a lifetime of struggling to find a steady job to support her family , has finally landed a position with Columbia University.

    The former first lady and two-time presidential loser will become a “professor of practice” at Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs and a “presidential fellow” at Columbia World Projects. Considering Hillary’s “practice”, the university will likely be locking the cash drawer and securing any valuable art that might perchance fall into her pantsuit pockets.

    Members of the Arizona Legislature and the Arizona Freedom Caucus turned their backs on Katie Hobbs, walked out of her yearly State of the State address Monday, and slammed her in a new statement for the “election riddled with violations” and her embrace of “the left’s extreme, woke agenda.”

    They also criticized her “preference to illegally legislate via executive order” and her “willingness to exploit the levers of power in our state.” State Senator Jake Hoffman said that Katie Hobbs’ far-left, woke agenda “elevates her actions to tyrannical.”

    Hobbs was nowhere to be found after her speech, likely hiding from the media.

    Hobbs was also nowhere to be found after she gave her inaugural address on Thursday. However, The Gateway Pundit correspondent Jordan Conradson had the opportunity to speak with incoming Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes after incoming Attorney General Kris Mayes ran away from questions. Fontes claimed that the 2022 Election in Maricopa County was “perfectly good” and that machines did not fail on Election Day — An obvious lie!

  23. EXCLUSIVE: FEC Commissioner Trainor Sent Three Emails Regarding Millions in Dem Election Crimes and Still No Response

    The corrupt and criminal Democrat machine committed millions of dollars in fraudulent campaign finance activities that have been identified and provided to the Head of the FEC. To date, these communications have been ignored.

    Support for this article from Chris Gleason

    It turns out that millions in donations in the 2022 election were sent to candidates like Raphael Warnock from “money mules” around the country. Warnock was the top beneficiary of all 2022 Democrat candidates identified in this money distribution scheme.

    In April 2022, engineer Chris Gleason began working on his first data project involving elections. The project was tied to the 2022 midterm election. This was unique for Chris because he had been involved in tech and data for the majority of his adult career although he never used his expertise on a political project.

    What he and a small group of others identified were money mules.

    These “Money Mules” were not wealthy individuals. They also were not employed. These mules donated millions and millions of dollars to national and statewide races.

  24. Exclusive: The Dossier acquires confidential Davos attendees list

    List includes the likes of FBI director Chris Wray, the CEOs of Amazon, BlackRock, and Pfizer, top officials at the Gates Foundation and in the Soros network, and the Publisher of The New York Times,

    The Dossier has acquired a confidential list of every individual (excluding some government officials) who will be in attendance for the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) annual summit in Davos, Switzerland next week.

    The attendees list is a massive roster of some of the most influential and diabolical forces in the corporate, governmental and “non-profit” world. From the United States, this includes the likes of FBI director Chris Wray, the CEOs of Amazon, BlackRock, and Pfizer, top officials at the Gates Foundation and in the Soros network, and the Publisher of The New York Times, to name a few.

    The World Economic Forum (WEF), through its annual Davos conference, acts as the go-to in person, invite-only, closed to ideological outsiders policy and ideas shop for the global ruling class.

    The World Economic Forum is a fanatical political organization masquerading as a neutral entity, with specific policy goals that involve centralizing power into the possession of hand-picked global elites as the only means to save the earth from a claimed climate emergency.

    The WEF is the chief coalition builder for what amounts to a public-private fascist movement. Over the years, they’ve partnered with the most influential individuals in business, along with central bankers, governmental head honchos, and international organizations, in order to facilitate their top-down vision for technocratic tyranny, or what they call “stakeholder capitalism.” The WEF seeks to deliberately roll back human progress, innovation, and personal flourishing, under the guise of saving the planet from a so-called climate emergency.

    For the past several weeks, The Dossier has been dedicating significant resources to reporting on the ins and outs of the upcoming Davos conference.

    The House of Representatives on Monday evening voted 221-210 to repeal funding for 87,000 IRS agents.

    The so-called ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ gave $79.6 billion to the IRS over the next 10 years.

    The Wall Street Journal said the new army of IRS agents will target the middle and upper-middle class.

    According to new analysis, the IRS audits the poor at 5 times the rate of everyone else.
