shoebat--2020-07-27--AP Move Elects To Capitalize “Black” And Not “white”

There is a lot of talk about racism right now , and it is coming from both ends of the political spectrum .
According to a recent story from the AP , the AP itself has decided to capitalize “ Black ” and not “ white ” , claiming that “ white people ” have no shared culture .
After changing its usage rules last month to capitalize the word “ Black ” when used in the context of race and culture , The Associated Press on Monday said it would not do the same for “ white.
” The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much less shared history and culture , and don ’ t have the experience of being discriminated against because of skin color .
Protests following the death of George Floyd , which led to discussions of policing and Confederate symbols , also prompted many news organizations to examine their own practices and staffing .
The Associated Press , whose Stylebook is widely influential in the industry , announced June 19 it would make Black uppercase .
In some ways , the decision over “ white ” has been more ticklish .
The National @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scholars have said white should be capitalized , too .
“ We agree that white people ’ s skin color plays into systemic inequalities and injustices , and we want our journalism to robustly explore these problems , ” John Daniszewski , the AP ’ s vice president for standards , said in a memo to staff Monday .
“ But capitalizing the term white , as is done by white supremacists , risks subtly conveying legitimacy to such beliefs.
” Columbia Journalism Review , the Wall Street Journal , The New York @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Angeles Times , NBC News and Chicago Tribune are among the organizations that have recently said they would capitalize Black but have not done so for white .
“ White doesn ’ t represent a shared culture and history in the way Black does , ” The New York Times said on July 5 in explaining its decision .
CNN , Fox News and The San Diego Union-Tribune said they will give white the uppercase , noting it was consistent with Black , Asian , Latino and other ethnic groups .
Fox cited @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said it would capitalize white , although not when referring to white supremacists , white nationalists or white privilege .
Some proponents believe that keeping white lowercase is actually anti-Black , saying it perpetuates the idea that whites are the default race .
“ Whiteness remains invisible , and as is the case with all power structures , its invisibility does crucial work to maintain its power , ” wrote Eve Ewing , a sociologist of race and education at the University of Chicago who said she ’ s changed her mind on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ In maintaining the pretense of its invisibility , whiteness maintains the pretense of its inevitability , and its innocence , ” she wrote on the website Nora .
Kwame Anthony Appiah , a philosophy professor at New York University , wrote in the Atlantic that capitalizing white would take power away from racists , since their similar use “ would no longer be a provocative defiance of the norm.
” The AP checked with a variety of experts and sources in making its decision .
“ We will closely watch how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ periodically review our decision , ” Daniszewski said .
( source ) This article brings up something very concerning , which is the dangerous inclinations towards objectively promoting “ institutional racism ” not as a trope but in a real way .
I do not wish to try to “ compare sides ” in this , because there is no “ side ” save for honoring the dignity of all men versus not doing this , which is the real issue .
Instead , language and actions in the name of “ justice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ certain forms of racism while denouncing others .
This is about something bigger that using or not using capital letters , or who-said-what-when .
It is about a pattern of people- and not all of them black -who feel justified in promoting racism through the use of policies and ideas that is at its core nothing more than a political weapon that manifests in the crudest , most “ on the ground ” way by encouraging racial animosity .
It is in the name of “ anti-racism ” the direct encouragement of racism @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the the direct form has been encouraged , which is a wedge to destabilize and grab for power .
There are a lot of bad things that have happened to the sons of Ham , but also a lot of bad things that have happened to the sons of Japheth and Shem .
It is wrong to say that people should be in a competition for who has the “ biggest grievance ” , lest one try to make one ’ s grievances seem to have more overall worth than another ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
There are a lot of problems all around , but what matters is how those problems are dealt with .
Unfortunately , what is happening right now is not any real solution to racism , but only to make it worse by rewriting the terms of what makes racism “ acceptable ” and what does not .
The danger of this is that it is going to provoke a violent reaction from the white bloc , in that feeling and increasingly with small actions adding up to greater ones based on racist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the AP , that eventually many will just say “ I do not care any more ” and will react with violence against black people without care for the dignity of their humanity .

The answer is simple- it is always a formula @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t help there is more talk of food shortages and because of the general devaluation of the currency by way of money printing , the looming spectre of hyperinflation that is driving up market prices not because the value of real goods and assets has increased but because the value of the money itself hash decreased and the only way to compensate for the decline in value is to raise prices , not out of greed but economic necessity .

Allow me to elaborate on this.
Right now, there are millions of people out of work who are living off of special government payments- the Coronavirus stimulus bill -recently passed by Congress and soon to be a second one. People are working, but the work situations have become much more tenuous amid supply chain disruptions and an uncertain future, especially where work is becoming more scarce.
Right now, a lot of people are looking at the riots taking place in Seattle and other cities and asking if things could get worse, and I answer yes. Simply put, if people are mad right now, what happens when one adds to that homelessness, the inability to pay for utilities, and hunger, especially in the wintertime?
The answer is simple- it is always a formula for violence and instability. It doesn’t help there is more talk of food shortages and because of the general devaluation of the currency by way of money printing, the looming spectre of hyperinflation that is driving up market prices not because the value of real goods and assets has increased but because the value of the money itself hash decreased and the only way to compensate for the decline in value is to raise prices, not out of greed but economic necessity.
This is why I have spoken of the situation for the future as not a Christmas “sleigh ride”- such as going through the snow on a horse-drawn sleigh that is popular in American lore -but rather a “slay ride”, implying violence and a sort of butchery found in a horror film, except this time the film is real life, and the slaughter will be to people’s personal finances and the retail market since being forced to spend money on essentials such as food, water, and utilities, and maybe not even having enough for that, the retail sector is going to be absolutely decimated since 25% to 40%, as I have noted before is made in the time from Thanksgiving to Christmas. With most likely poor sales for the future, there will inevitably be more layoffs, more job destruction, and more poverty.
If one wants to see what the retail sector is going to look like, one only needs to go to a local mall. Many of them are dead or dying as evidenced by the ongoing store closures, the proliferation of people “hanging out” but not shopping (as in looking for a warm place to stay, not actually going there for leisure purposes) has continued to grow, and the fact that many of the stores are disorganized, dirty, or just falling apart. The mall, being a creation of the consumerist post-World War II economy is, like the post-World War II world, falling apart at the seams as the world returns to tribalism and nationalism.
Then there is the future. COVID-19 is not going to go away for Christmas, and will persist into 2021. What does this mean for the future of job and payments? What about apartments? How about business? Who can buy when there is no money to spend? What about the effects of money printing? Will there be a third, and possibly fourth rounds of simulus checks? What will the effects be on prices? What about food or material shortages, which are already bad now but getting worse with each day?
I have insisted that COVID-19 is not over, but is just getting started. These are just a few of the effects that we can see, and it is not going to get better until the debt is gotten rid of, and at this point, the only way this is likely going to happen is until the money printers are run to such a point that the dollar has the value of the deutschmark in Weimar Germany a century ago.
The country will eventually recover, but it is going to take a long time. It is not unreasonable that for the next five, possibly ten years, there will be heavy economic problems for the US that will cause a tremendous amount of problems and will affect all people.
This is why I say for people to enjoy what exists now, not in a lavish or spendthrift way, but to recognize that the summertime for 2020 is not a time of unrest, but actual peace in spite of the real unrest happening and likely in comparison to the unrest that is to come in the future when people are seriously unable to pay their bills and have nothing to look forward to for the future except misery and so will be more inclined than ever before towards radical solutions, including revolutionary ideas.

Evil Drug Cartel Captures, Interrogates, And Hacks Old Woman Into Pieces And Puts Them Into A Trash Bag

El Blog del Narco reported a horrible story out of Mexico where an elderly woman was captured , interrogated , and then cut into pieces by the cannibalistic Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion .
A senior citizen was interrogated and later dismembered by drug traffickers from the Elite Group of the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel ( CJNG ) .
In the municipality of Cortazar in the state of Guanajuato , in Mexico .
In the scenes the lady appears blindfolded and after the questioning that was made her dismembered body appears along with a narco-message for allegedly selling drugs known as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all those people who work for the Marro who already get rid of that because they left me alone , ” says the woman they question while the subject who asks him questions asks : “ Has it become clear to you who is in charge here in Guanajuato ?
?
” , To which the victim responds : “ The Jalisco New Generation Cartel , ” and that is when the recording is cut and images of the lifeless woman appear .
In the narco-message that they left with the remains , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This happened to me because I did not understand that all Guanajuato already has an owner and the only company that is in command is the CJNG of Mr. Mencho and we are going for you : Warris , Calaca , China , Cañas , Mauricio and Diego Estefanìa , Atte : CJNG , Grupo Élite ” ( sic ) .
So far , the identity of the woman between 50 and 60 years of age who was mercilessly murdered by CJNG members is unknown .
The execution is recorded a few days @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Double “ R ” or the “ R2 ” leader of the Elite Group of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel will not long continue the war in Guanajuato because it threatened that the days José Antonio Yépez Ortiz , alias el Marro , leader of the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel ( CSRL ) , are numbered .
It may interest you : More chaotic than Los Zetas , the trail of blood that the CJNG has left in the country He insisted that attacks on innocent are condemned and blamed most are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ made a call to all people who support the “ innocent kills ” of the Marro to stop doing so , because it promises to clean will continue .
( source ) WARNING : VERY GRAPHIC VIDEO .
NOT FOR CHILDREN .
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED .
Now I am not going to get into the issue of the charges of this woman selling drugs or not , because the fact is , one really does not know what happened , as many innocent people are frequently blamed for horrible violence such as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as I have said before , I want you to think about this from the perspective of your “ average Jose.
” Imagine that one day , your mother or grandmother goes out to the market to by provisions .
She does not come home for hours , and then you find a copy of this horrible video released on news media , and the police inform you of the terrible news .
How would you feel about the situation ?
Would you want to stay where you are living , or would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most is obvious- time to get moving and as soon as possible , because not only could violence come upon you , but who wants to live in an area knowing that such monsters are all around you ?
You move , but no matter where you seem to go , the violence is always there , and you are in continual fear for your safety .
Then one day , you get a call from a friend living in south Texas .
He is working on a grapefruit farm , and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but for Mexican standards , it is high , and they are looking for more workers .
The pay is so good for your standards that you can send your family to live in a much safer area of Mexico while you work , and possibly with enough time , maybe you can bring them over to live and get away from the violence .
Would you take the chance if it was offered to you , and would you care if anybody thought else for you doing this ?
You would take @ @ @ @ @ @ @ care at all what others thought because , as you know , your family was directly affected by these monstrous cartel members , and you want to get away from them as fast as possible .
This is what struck me about this video .
That woman could have been and probably was somebody ’ s grandmother , and instead of living out a normal life like old people are supposed to ( for being pro-life is always from conception until natural death ) , the woman instead ended her days being cut @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and thrown into a trash bag .
What does her family think ?
Do they even care ?
What about her children , grandchildren , friends , or neighbors ?
Do they have a sense of the gravity of what happened , and are they not afraid for their lives too ?
One can only theorize about what may or may not have happened .
However , it is clear that all can conclude the treatment of this woman is a horrible thing , and that if most people were in a situation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this in mind in any discussion about migration and immigrants , for while migration is used as a political tool , a lot of the people coming are truly attempting to escape very horrible situations that the average American , including myself , does not fully comprehend how life must be like to live under .
To give a comparable example , Russia is very difficult to live in , and a lot of Russians try to leave Russia .
However , the Russian neighboring country of Turkmenistan , which is ruled by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all for his people , has seen almost one-third of her population move to Russia in a desperate attempt to escape and never come back .
It has become such a serious matter that it is threatening the long-term survival of Turkmenistan .
While it is true to a point that many things are relative , people try to get away from very bad situations , no matter where one is .
As such , please show kindness to these people , for one can only imagine what many have had to endure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of this site .

shoebat--2020-07-28--Is There A 2020 October Surprise Incoming?

In an interesting story from TheHill , the political news site reports that , in their view , the 2020 election looks a lot like the 1980 election .
In many ways , 2020 is 1980 in reverse .
That year , Ronald Reagan won a landslide victory and Republicans made remarkable congressional gains .

In an interesting story from TheHill, the political news site reports that, in their view, the 2020 election looks a lot like the 1980 election.
In many ways, 2020 is 1980 in reverse. That year, Ronald Reagan won a landslide victory and Republicans made remarkable congressional gains. Entering the fall campaign, President Carter’s approval rating stood at a dismal 38 percent. Carter hoped to overcome his poor marks by making his opponent the issue. Many saw Reagan as too old (he was 69 and would be the oldest president at that time); too out-of-touch (he called the Vietnam War a “noble cause”); and too gaffe-prone (he said trees were a major cause of pollution). Carter’s chief strategist, Hamilton Jordan, chortled that it was “delicious” watching Reagan “stumble from one controversy to the next.” The Carter game plan was clear: Make the election a choice, not a referendum. This year, Donald Trump seeks to replicate Carter’s strategy. Trump repeatedly avows that the 77-year-old Biden has lost a step and would be put in a nursing home if elected. Just as Carter tried to sow fear – arguing that Reagan would cut Social Security and Medicare – Trump is engaging in fear mongering, contending that a mentally challenged Biden would be controlled by extremist elements within his party. But, like Carter, Trump’s game plan is deeply flawed. In 1980, Reagan reassured voters that they had nothing to fear. Today, most voters are not afraid of Joe Biden. … 1980 began a Republican era. Voters accepted Reagan’s premise that government was the problem, not the solution. Even when Bill Clinton sought reelection in 1996, 56 percent believed government was “doing too many things” better left to businesses and individuals. By 2019, 56 percent wanted government to “do more to solve the problems and help meet the needs of people.” The pandemic has only increased the public’s sense of urgency. Something else has changed to favor Democrats. In 1980, 88 percent of voters were white, 10 percent were African American, and just 2 percent were Hispanic. By 2016, the electorate was 71 percent white and minority voters – including African Americans, Hispanics and Asian Americans – rose to a combined 30 percent.

Today, families assume many different forms, as a newfound “moral freedom” is transforming 21st century politics. Rising voters – especially racial minorities, single women and millennials – tilt decidedly in the Democrats’ favor. Today, as in 1980, the United States is a profoundly unhappy country. Forty years ago, voters judged Jimmy Carter to be a moral man who was not up to the job of being president. Today, voters see Donald Trump as an amoral, unlikable person who is an incompetent president. There are 100 days left in campaign 2020, and much can happen to an already exhausted country. But one thing is certain: The Reagan era is over. Unless things change substantially, this election is 1980 in reverse. (source)

This does not even take into account the possibility of mass voter fraud that could happen because of the COVID-19 disruptions to the economic and distribution systems, which have already been seen in votes in other states. As I have noted before, it has the potential to make the 2000 Bush v. Gore election and the contested Florida votes seem orderly.

shoebat--2020-07-28--Poll: One Quarter Of Americans Believe COVID-19 Crisis May Have Been Intentionally Engineered By The

Poll: One Quarter Of Americans Believe COVID-19 Crisis May Have Been Intentionally Engineered By The Government

There is much to be criticized for in the public mind , , for as while people are individuals , collective thought can be very dangerous depending on the assumptions .
However , this does not mean it is always wrong , but can be right or at least , intending towards the right direction .
Something I have noted in my articles is that the COVID-19 crisis , while real , has many questions in it that point to the possibility of external involvement .
In other words , the crisis may not have been organic , or only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by government actors as a way to destabilize the current socioeconomic paradigm and create a series of predictable outcomes .
As I have noted , there are a lot of questions about the knowledge of this virus for many years , the fact that it seems to have gone to a laboratory in Canada where there was a clear Chinese presence , that the US has intentionally given defective products to her enemies knowing that problems will happen in order to control them ( such as the microchip railroad controller part incident during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and how it just seems to have emerged at a politically convenient time , such as ISIS did during the 2016 election cycle .
People are not stupid , and they eventually start to notice patterns and as questions .
As such it is interesting that the Pew Research Forum reports by way of the Christian Post that 25 % of people are questioning the official COVID-19 narrative , and saying that there is a possibility that the pandemic may have been planned .
Some 25 % of Americans believe that there is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ theory that powerful people intentionally planned the new coronavirus outbreak , and conservative Republicans , blacks and Hispanics are more likely to fall into this group , according to results of a survey recently released by the Pew Research Center .
The results of the survey , conducted in June , were highlighted by the Pew Research Center just a day before Sinclair Broadcast Group announced it would delay airing a controversial episode of its program “ America This Week , ” suggesting Anthony Fauci , director of the National Institute of Allergy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the development of COVID-19 .
According to the Pew survey , 71 % of Americans say they have heard of the “ Plandemic ” conspiracy but just 20 % say it is probably true and 5 % believe it ’ s definitely true .
Among conservative Republicans , the survey noted that 37 % believe the conspiracy theory is probably or definitely true compared to 29 % of moderate and liberal Republicans , 24 % of moderate and conservative Democrats and 10 % of liberal Democrats .
Some 33 % of blacks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say the theory is probably or definitely true , compared with about 22 % of white adults and 19 % of Asian Americans .
Women were slightly more likely than men , 29 % vs. 21 % , to see at least some truth in the conspiracy theory .
( source ) It should be clear that there are a lot of questions needing to be answered , but it would be grossly wrong to make pronouncements on the pandemic without deeply looking into each question about it , since while it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there are men with very ill desires who seek to create or exploit those existing crises for their benefit , and to ignore them is to ignore a repeating pattern of human history , and most likely to one ’ s detriment .

The Christian Post reports that a church in China was destroyed by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to destroy the homes of poor Christians .
A month after partially demolishing a church structure in China ’ s Fujian province , dozens of security guards and officials came back to bulldoze homes in the residential compound where the church once stood .

It is a form of serious abuse intended to cause the mass destruction of a whole people, and arguably could be presented as a possible prelude to a genocide.
The Chinese government has made clear she wants to wipe out all religion, and especially Christianity, from China. The Christian Post reports that a church in China was destroyed by the government, who then went on to destroy the homes of poor Christians.
A month after partially demolishing a church structure in China’s Fujian province, dozens of security guards and officials came back to bulldoze homes in the residential compound where the church once stood.
Guards and officials from the local Ethnic and Religious Bureau stormed the Xingguang Church building in Xiamen city last Wednesday for further demolition of Christian homes in conjunction to the house church, reports the U.S.-based persecution watchdog International Christian Concern.
A Christian preacher, Yang Xibo from Xunsiding Church posted videos on Facebook in which dozens of officials from the Urban Management Law Enforcement department can be seen marching toward the remaining structures that were not demolished in June.
While breaking into a Christian home, the officials didn’t show any papers of authorization for their action. When a 67-year-old woman tried to stop them, officials — some of them equipped with anti-riot shields — shuffled her off.
“Other Christians at the scene who were trying to intervene were blocked at the stairs and prevented from moving further. When they questioned the authorities why they illegally entered private property and demolished people’s residence, they were met with silence,” ICC said.
“For the Chinese government to frantically persecute Christians even after their churches were shut down shows how Beijing has no interest in respecting religious freedom,” Gina Goh, ICC’s regional manager for Southeast Asia, said. “What the Chinese Communist Party does not understand is that Christianity will not be wiped out just because the buildings no longer stand. The more the government erodes the rights of Chinese citizens, the more enemies it creates within its territories. One day, this pressure cooker will explode, threatening the CCP regime, the exact endgame it is fearful of.”
On June 11, more than 100 officers from four different agencies came to demolish parts of the Xingguang Church’s interior of five rooms, removing panelling and partition walls, according to the U.K.-based Christian Solidarity Worldwide.
Authorities also removed church property, including furniture and educational materials, from the church’s school section.
The timing of the destruction coincided with the State Department’s annual report on international religious freedom, including a lengthy section on freedom of religion or belief violations by the Chinese government. (source)
