Fired for Being White? That’s What a Professor Alleges His School Did to Him

Paul Collier August 25, 2021

As corpowoketarianizm continues to extend its reach and its assumptions about what it can or cannot do to employees, customers, citizens in a Bill of Rights limited Democratic Republic, such as America is, the test of their attempt to subvert American standards for more Chinese Communist Party type standards will be challenged in the courts. If the courts fail us, we are left with the realization that the enemy has won and we have no nation to fight for.

Part of this process can be seen in the case of Professo Dan Ravicher, a former teacher at the University of Miami Law School who was let go allegedly to make room for a non-white professor. The complaint charges the school with firing him for being white. Let’s see if we have any remnant of America left in our courts or not.

University discriminated against white, male pro-Trump professor: federal complaint

Excerpt:

Former University of Miami Law Scool Professor Dan Ravicher has filed an Equal Opportunity Employment Commission complaint against his former employer after it forced him out of his professor job.

The federal complaint alleged a breach of contract, defamation and discrimination against him based on race and gender. It comes after Ravicher and his attorney brought up the same concerns in a June letter to the private Florida university to no avail.

The EEOC filing alleged Miami Law treated the conservative professor differently because he is a white male who supported President Donald Trump. Ravicher has not heard from the EEOC as of August 23, according to a Twitter message to The College Fix. He filed the complaint on July 28.

Former Dean Anthony Varona violated Title VII and the Florida Civil Rights Act, Ravicher alleged. Ravicher paraphrased Varona’s assertion that…

Afghanis No Longer Permited to Leave, Says Taliban

Paul Collier August 25, 2021

The Afghanis who are trapped behind enemy lines, which is their whole country now (save for one valley), have been told by the Taliban that they are no longer permitted to leave. The Biden administration seems fine with this declaration, and, so far, seems more interested in ‘honoring’ the Taliban than rescuing our allies and even our citizens, commiting to the Taliban created August 31st deadline, not the comittment to make sure all our allies are safely removed from murderers who most assuredly want them dead.

Taliban leaders said Tuesday they will no longer allow Afghans to leave the country and that they expect the U.S. to complete its full military withdrawal from the Kabul airport by Aug. 31.

The declaration from Taliban spokesperson Zabiullah Mujahid at a press conference Tuesday could greatly complicate U.S. evacuation efforts. American military aircraft over the past week have flown out thousands of Afghan translators and others believed to be at risk of reprisal from the Taliban, but the insurgent group — which controls checkpoints outside…

Biden Approval Down to 41 Percent Now

Paul Collier August 25, 2021

All the King’s horses and all the King’s men couldn’t put humpty Biden back together again, and the polls are bearing that out. With all the herculean support by the DNC machine, its media, its cultural gatekeepers, its agit prop news war rooms, the DNC cannot save this man from his own embarrasing ineptness as more and more Americans are discovering in real time what it’s like to have a zombie President.

As Afghanistan reveals his cowardice and indifference to American and allied life, his polls have now hit 41 percent appproval, the lowest since office, and lower even than what Trump experienced while in office even though the DNC machine did eveything it could to drive the approval down lower. Humpty dumpty had a great fall and is still falling, even as we speak.

Biden’s approval rating sinks thanks to Afghanistan withdrawal, immigration, economy

Excerpt:

President Biden’s approval rating sunk to a new low of 41 percent in the latest poll from USA Today/Suffolk University.

The United States’ Afghanistan withdrawal seems to be one of the the main drivers — only 26 percent of responsdents approve of the execution of the plan (though a majority still support exiting the country) — and he has poor marks on immigration issues and his handling of the economy, as well. The latter came in at a “surprisingly bad” 39 percent. “The only issue keeping him remotely in the game is his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, where he is barely at 50 percent” David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk Political Research Center, told USA Today.

It’s just one poll, of course, and Biden’s approval numbers were significantly better, if still lower than they had been, in a pair of surveys from CBS News and NBC News over the weekend. Still, though, the USA Today/Suffolk poll puts his Real Clear Politics average at just 46 percent, two points under…

The Children’s Crusade of America Afraid of “Misinformation”

Freedomist Editor August 24, 2021

Ivo Fysic- 49 percent of Americans support government censorship to protect them frommisinformation. 59 percent of Americans prefer the Corporations fill the role of protecting them from misinformation. What does that say about America today? –

PGC – Pew released a poll result that is sure to concern the remnant of Americans who still see the pragmatic usefulness of preserving and even re-instating, the standards of the Bill of Rights across this broken land.

In a span of 3 years, after the rise of corpowoketarianizm, after the onslaight of Covidtopia (to the few who benefit from shuttting down and stigmatizing most of humanity), Americans are growing weary of the responsibility of being adults that steward their own lives. In 2018, a shocking 39 percent of Americans supported government censorship to keep disinformation from reaching the masses. Today, that number stands at an even more shocking 49 percent.

As if to give some comfort, the polling data also shows that 59 percent of Americans prefer the Corpowoketarianz control the definition of truth and lock all unorthodoxy out of the digital public square. Americans are afraid of being adults.

We have been infantalized, and our politicians increasingly talk to us as if we are children, and enact laws and emergency orders assuming that we are. If this poll is a true reflection of the spirit of America, well, the infantalization is complete. Americans are afraid of being adults and they can’t imagine anyone else being adults either, unless they’re experts or government officials or badged ‘officers.’

Americans lack the basic understanding of liberty to see that surrendering the definition of truth to the powerfully advantaged will only result in one thing, disinformation becomes truth and truth becomes disinformation. The powers that be have a new toy, and Americans across this land have consensually handed that power over to them. At a time when we have little to even connect with one another as Americans through, these Americans are turning their backs on the Bill of Rights, for freedom is something that only responsible adults can face with courage, and this land is not a land of adults.

The children’s crusade is officially begun, to borrow from Kurt Vonnegut. The chidlren are leading a sucide war against the remaining adults with the hope that, at the end, after a few more people disappear, deliverance from fear arrives and puppies and lollipops roll across the skies for your amusement.

These crusades end in death, for the target, and for the targeting. The children don’t survive the campaign. And those that do, are never whole again. America, grow up, it’s time to take on your stewardship, it’s time to stand up for your Bill of Rights and your neighbor’s as well.

Poll: More Americans want government to stop misinformation online – KATV

Excerpt:

According to a Pew Research poll out this month, 48% of adult Americans say the U.S. government should take steps to restrict false information online; even if it means limits on freely publishing or accessing content. That number is up from 39% who said that in 2018.

More Americans, 59%, would rather see tech companies take on misinformation.

Pew’s data shows the divide between Democrats and Republicans on this issue has widened in the past three years. In 2018, 40% of Democrats, or people who leaned Democratic, and 37% of Republicans, or people who leaned Republican, said the U.S. government should take steps to restrict false information. In 2021, it was 65% and 28%, respectively.

“What we’re seeing is just kind of a reaction to what they are hearing from the politicians that they are voting for and from the media that they’re consuming,” said Andrew Selepak, a social media professor at the University of Florida.

Ethiopia Looks to Nationalize Social Media, They Won’t Be The Last

Freedomist Editor August 24, 2021

PGC – Ethiopia has announced it intends on building its own social media platforms to prevent silicon valley from determining what is truth and what is good. They are not the first to make this move. China was the first, and they certainly won’t be the last. The reason why has to do with the personal needs of the leaders of the nation-states these platforms are now controlling by controlling their public discouse. These individuals saw the writing on the wall back in 2020.

When Facebook and Twitter moved to check the social media access of the American President of the United States, many leaders around the world, even if they might openly celebrate the move, took serious pause and asked themselves this question, “How much power do these international social media companies have to affect our national sovereignty?”

Well, that’s the dishonest question they ask themselves, the one that preserves their nobility and prevents them from seeing the self-centered motivation behind the concern. Every leader looks into the mirror and sees Alexander the Great. It’s hard to be Alexander the Great when a power that is located in foreign lands has the ability to alter your political fortune by the particular ideology or morality it chooses to enforce upon your lands.

I predicted at the time that nations would be moving in short order to nationalize their social media platforms. China is far ahead of the rest of the world in this regard, having rejected American Silicon Valley expansion and choosing to develop their own CCP-approved social media platforms inhouse. Their social media platforms are already nationalized.

Outside of China, my suspiicion was the nations that would choose such a route would be the less powerful ones, just as I thought it would be the less powerful nations willing to take more dramatic chances with cryptocurrencies (which we see in El Salvador, which has made it the legal tender of their land). Ethiopia is just such a nation, and it has a real need to control narratives as it is in the midst of a civl war that feeds on the extreme fears and hopes of peoples who have suffered authentic injustices.

Ethiopia has been battling with Facebook over what it censors and what it does not, so now, it’s had enough. It has decided to develop its own social media network, something well within the capacity of most nation-states, even the smaller ones. The biggest expense in social media is in the servers and the human monitors. If your platform is serving only one nation, your cost of operation goes down to levels that allow almost any nation-state, and many larger free associative groups (if they so chose, and they will,in time, they will) can afford to develop and support.

The leadership of Ethiopia might not be proponents of free speech themselves, but they are the first of a small few among many to follow among nation-states to take the route that they are choosing now. The balkanization of the internet is coming, and Silicon Valley’s hubristic assumptions it could play God with morality and truth is to blame for creating the conditions that made it worth the investment of nation-stations to blunt. Nation-states are led by individuals, individuals that look in the mirror and see Alexander the Great, a man that would never tolerate the gordian knot of distant power controlling nation-state public discourse and opinion, that’s Alexander’s job, not yours.

Alexander would march to the Silicon Valley and shell it to a fine powder. Short of that, he would build walls to keep it out, even if it meant he had to build new digital roads within.

Ethiopia to build local rival to Facebook, other platforms

ADDIS ABABA, Aug 23 (Reuters) – Ethiopia has begun developing its own social media platform to rival Facebook (FB.O), Twitter (TWTR.N) and WhatsApp, though it does not plan to block the global services, the state communications security agency said on Monday.

Ethiopia has been engulfed since last year in an armed conflict pitting the federal government against the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), which controls the Tigray region in the country’s north.

Supporters of both sides have waged a parallel war of words on social media.

The government wants its local platform to “replace” Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp and Zoom, the director general of the Information Network Security Agency (INSA), Shumete Gizaw,

said.

Shumete accused Facebook of deleting posts and user accounts which he said were “disseminating the true reality about Ethiopia”.

International human rights groups have criticized the Ethiopian government for unexplained shutdowns to social media services including Facebook…

Waltons Net $2.1 Billion After Selling Walmart Stocks

Parker Davis August 24, 2021

Ivo Fysic- Ostensibly, the Walton family just sold a massive amount of Walmart stock to keep the balance of family ownership to public ownership intact. The payoff for making such a magnanimous move in this instant is over $2.1 billion. That’s a lot of special projects, non-profits, etc this family is sure to continue to support in their effort to assure they keep what they have and you lose what you have.

But is this massive sell-off more than just an administrative move that could fund some small countries for a year? We certainly wouldn’t want to speculate based on this news alone, but this is one of those ‘put a pin in it and circle back if you see a pattern” moments.

The Walton family, in a bid to assure that the family doesn’t own too high a percentage of Walmart, sold 16.7 million shares of their family stock, Walmart. The move netted the wealthiest family in the world an addition $2.1 billion hard cash in the asset ledger. The sale happened over the course of the past year and appears, potentially, to be halted, though no confirmation was ever issued by the family themselves.

In April of 2015, the family received 194 million shares of Walmart stock, which are now nearly depleted, with over 98% having been sold since the family acquired the stocks.

Biden Just Handed the Taliban Hundreds of Deadly, High-Tech American Missiles

Freedomist Editor August 24, 2021

PGC – Thanks to the efforts by Joe Biden to assure the collapse of Afghanistan doesn’t happen too close to the 2022 elections (which would be bad for the DNC, the CCP knockoff import from China masquerading as an American political party), the Taliban now have hundreds of death-dealing, high-tech missiles it inherited from the Afghan government it just defeated thanks to the hasty American retreat.

Taliban May Have Inherited ‘Hundreds’ of Missiles From Former Afghan Government

From www.thedailybeast.com

Excerpt:

By Jeff Stein

The Taliban, its al Qaeda ally, and the renegade ISIS-K terror group may have inherited hundreds of deadly shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles from the fallen Afghan government’s weapons depots, experts say.

The exact number of missiles and their origin, kind, age and viability are hard to come by. A 2019 report by the RAND Corp. think tank put the total at an alarming 4,500, but according to experts, that figure is unreliable, and almost certainly represents the number of MANPADS—Man-portable air defense systems—acquired by successive Kabul regimes going back decades. It’s highly unlikely that Washington supplied any to Kabul, experts explained. Any left today likely represent a fraction of those acquired by the Taliban regime overthrown by the U.S. in 2001, or its predecessors.

Still, if even a fraction of MANPADS fell into the hands of the Taliban, Al-Qaeda or ISIS-K, an Islamic State faction active in Afghanistan and elsewhere nearby, that would be…

Rainbow Cops Will Make UK’s LGBTQ Feel Safe

Freedomist Editor August 24, 2021

PGC – The disarmed UK is light years ahead of America in developing and carrying out the anti-liberty agenda of corpowoketarianizm. They’re so far down the path of anti-liberty that they have now determined the police are apparently primarily here to make sure the LGBTQ feel safe, while everyone else is arrested for daring to even look at them in a midly non-friendly way. The bobbies of Britan have decided that rainbow police cars are worth a spike in budget expense to assure the LGBTQ feel safe, not concerned that that rainbow has become a militant political flag of hate aimed at those who stand outside the new normative of this perverse cult, that heterosexuality is a disease that must be cured.

UK police are facing heavy criticism for a new fleet of rainbow-coloured squad cars they claim will boost “confidence” among the LGBT+ community.

The “hate crime cars” will be introduced in forces across the country in a bid to encourage more victims of anti-LGBT+ crimes to come forward to police.

Currently as many as 80 per cent of LGBT+ people don’t report hate crimes to the authorities, according to Stonewall, but police believe their colourful cars will change that.

“They get all the police insignia put on them as normal, but there will be normally something added on that is to do with the rainbow side of things,” said Julie Cooke, deputy chief constable of Cheshire Police.

Explaining the initiative on social media, she said that the “cost is quite minimal”, but is assured that the impact is “huge”.

China’s Use of Corporate Social Media to Control Dissent Mirrors American DNC Tactics

Freedomist Editor August 24, 2021

PGC – China is using American corpowoketarianz tactics to assure that any thoughts, ideas, beliefs that are not aligned with the party,the CCP (the Father of the American DNC), is destroyed using corporate monopolies to do its anti-liberty bidding. A Canadian-Chinese pop star was detained by the CCP for being non-CCP in his views, and some Chinese citizens dared defend him. For their trouble, they found themselves removed from Weibo, one of China’s major social media platforms. It goes without saying these offenders of the orthodoxy will also see social credit damage as a result of this action, something I’m sure the DNC wishes they could do to Americans that deviate from their perverse orthodoxty.

A Water Crisis Threatens the People of the Middle East

Freedomist Editor August 23, 2021

PGC – The bloom of the Middle and Near East in the 20th Century that has become the spectacular urban expansion of the 21st century may be built on sand that is running out water beneath it. As populations have expanded, growing states in this region have been relying on pumping water from underground to match the rain shortfalls the region is now experiencing as far as sustaning human life at this expanded populated level.

The nations are choosing to keep pumping from below, but the waters are running out as rain fails to replenish what was taken out. The added concern for this region comes from the potential for climate change to drive the temperatures up even higher, and also what would be the expected prolonged droughts from such a change. It could well be that these regions simply will not be able to provide for the amount of humans that live here, with our best technology, and our best planning factored in.

Such problems are familiar in many parts of the Middle East — where water is simply running out.

The region has witnessed persistent drought and temperatures so high that they are barely fit for human life. Add climate change to water mismanagement and overuse, and projections for the future of water here are grim.

Some Middle Eastern countries, including Iran, Iraq and Jordan, are pumping huge amounts of water from the ground for irrigation as they seek to improve their food self-sufficiency, Charles Iceland, the global director of water at the World Resources Institute (WRI), told CNN. That’s happening as they experience a decrease in rainfall.

“They’re using more water than is available routinely through rain. And so groundwater levels are consequently falling because you’re taking water out faster than it’s being replenished by the rainfall,” he said.

That’s what’s happening in Iran, where a vast network of dams sustains an agricultural sector that drinks up about 90% of the water…
