Republican governors are sending National Guard troops to the southern border.
Governors of Arkansas, Iowa, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Virginia, and West Virginia announced this week they will send troops and resources to Texas to support the work of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Operation Lone Star to secure the southern border.
“President [Joe] Biden’s failure at our southern border puts the entire country at risk,” Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Thursday. “States must now step up where the president has failed to repel illegals, fight the cartels, and stop human and drug trafficking.”
Sanders is sending 80 National Guard troops to the border in July. Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt will send troop but has not clarified how many, and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum also announced Thursday that he will send 100 National Guardsmen to Texas to help secure the southern border. Gov. Mike DeWine says he will send 14 State Highway troopers and supervisors to Texas for two weeks. South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem says she will deploy about 50 National Guard troops to the border this summer.
Arkansas, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, and South Dakota join nine other GOP governors who have already pledged to send troops and resources to Texas to help secure the state’s border with Mexico.
“The ongoing border crisis facing our nation has turned every state into a border state,” Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin said in a statement Wednesday.
“Given the intensive resource demands on Texas, the dangers posed by the fentanyl crisis, and impact of the border crisis on criminal activity to the Commonwealth, Virginia will do its part to assist the State of Texas’ efforts with the coordinated deployment of Virginia National Guard soldiers to assist in key aspects of their mission,” Youngkin said.
Youngkin is sending 100 troops and 21 supporting personnel to Texas from the commonwealth.
West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice is sending up to 50 National Guard troops and airmen to the border for up to 30 days. South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster says he will also send troops to the border but has yet to announce how may.
“The safety and security of South Carolinians require that we stop the drug cartels, criminals, and terrorists from entering our country to peddle their poison,” McMaster said in a statement Wednesday.
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds said Tuesday that she will send 100 National Guard troops and 30 Department of Public Safety personnel to the border.
The Republican governors’ decision to send troops to the southern border comes in response to Abbott’s request for states to join Texas and help secure the border through the work of Operation Lone Star, Texas’ border security plan.
Nine GOP governors met with Abbott in Austin, Texas, on May 22 to discuss the border crisis. The meeting was held about a week after Abbott sent a letter to fellow governors asking them to help Texas secure the border.
The Texas governor applauded Idaho and Florida for already having sent border security resources and personnel to the Lone Star State to help secure the border and invited more governors to join in the “mission to defend our national sovereignty and territorial integrity and send all available law enforcement personnel and resources to the Texas-Mexico border to serve alongside our thousands of Texas National Guard soldiers and Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) troopers.”
Last week, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee announced he will send 100 National Guard troops to the border and Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen committed to send 10 state troopers to Texas to “help stop the influx of illegal immigration at our southern border.”
Florida, Idaho, and Mississippi were among the first states to answer Abbott’s call for help.
On May 17, Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves announced he was mobilizing a National Guard unit to the border.
“To keep Mississippians safe and limit the impact of our nation’s open borders, the Mississippi National Guard’s 112th Military Police Battalion has been mobilized and is supporting Customs and Border Protection officers and agents along the Southwest border.”
The day before Reeves’ announcement, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Florida had “over 1,100 assets and resources available” to aid Operation Lone Star, including 800 National Guard soldiers and 200 Florida Department of Law Enforcement officers.
“At my direction, state agencies, including law enforcement and the Florida National Guard, are being deployed to Texas, with assets including personnel, boats, and planes,” DeSantis said. “While Biden ignores the crisis he created, Florida stands ready to help Texas respond to this crisis.”
Since the start of the Biden administration, Customs and Border Protection reports encountering more than 5.5 million illegal aliens at the southern border. Since fiscal year 2023 began on Oct. 1, CBP has encountered more than 1.4 million illegal aliens, about triple the number encountered at the southern border during fiscal year 2020.
CBP has seized a record 17,000 pounds of fentanyl at the southern border so far in fiscal year 2023, which ends Sept. 30, more than triple the total amount seized in all of fiscal year 2020.

thelibertydaily--2020-07-14--President Trump Was Correct About the Rapid Economic Rebound Post-Shutdown as Another 630,000 Americ

President Trump Was Correct About the Rapid Economic Rebound Post-Shutdown as Another 630,000 Americans Come Off Unemployment Benefits

Another 630,000 Americans came off continuing unemployment claims the week ending June 27 , according to the latest unadjusted data from the U.S. Department of Labor , proving President Donald Trump is right about the economy rapidly recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic state-based shutdowns .
Since the week ending May 9 , unadjusted continuing unemployment claims have dropped from 22.8 million to 16.8 million the week ending June 27 , a massive turnaround of 6 million Americans who temporarily found themselves on unemployment benefits but then rapidly came off of it on a net basis .
Really , the number @ @ @ @ @ @ @ greater than that because the overall drop of 630,000 came the same week initial claims came in at about 1.4 million , indicating more than 2 million people found jobs that week , with the 1.4 million as an offset .
That type of churn has been going on for weeks .
Meaning , there is still a lot of volatility in labor markets , with many Americans temporarily finding themselves out of work only to return to the workforce a few weeks later .
The good news is that the worst of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and more Americans are returning to work every week than are leaving it .
When coupled with the monthly jobs data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics , where anywhere from 7.8 million to 8.8 million Americans have found jobs the past two months , the picture becomes clearer .
While certain industries , especially hospitality and retail , will continue to be affected during this pandemic — especially in states experiencing some resurgence now — after a brief pause in the U.S. economy and people locked up in their homes for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much momentum of Americans returning to labor markets that almost nothing can slow it down , not even the temporary slight uptick in COVID-19 cases being seen right now .
Note , I wrote “ almost nothing.
” Barring a massive resurgence of COVID-19 like we were seeing in late March with almost 250,000 new cases a day — today the number ’ s more like 80,000 according to IHME — another thing that could slow labor markets down is the current mismatch in the unemployment benefits that pay out more than some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the first place depending on where they live .
It is a perverse incentive that Congress should address in the upcoming phase four legislation , and then even more jobs can be created on a weekly and monthly basis going forward .
So , what should we expect going forward ?
After new cases of the virus stabilize later this month and throughout August according IHME projections , even more Americans will return to the labor force in rapid succession .
While the second quarter that just ended will undoubtedly be horrific in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one of the worst ever , the third quarter may very likely be the best quarter for economic growth in U.S. history , built entirely by those Americans returning to work in droves .
Then , when a vaccine comes either later this year or early next year , we could very likely see an economic boom like never before .
All along , one of the only people who had this much unyielding faith in the American people and the U.S. economy was President Donald Trump , who was predicting such a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the President predicted , “ I don ’ t think it ’ s going to end up being such a rough patch .
I think it ’ s going to , when we open — especially , if we can open it — the sooner , the better — it ’ s going to open up like a rocket ship .
I think it ’ s going to go very good and very quickly.
” As it turns out , Trump was right , and now top Democrats are “ dreading ” the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ election in November , fearing that it will help Trump politically .
A Politico story quoted a former Obama official saying “ This is my big worry… It ’ s high — high , high , high , high ” that the economy will begin a rapid recovery .
The Obama official was responding to an early April presentation by Jason Furman , a former Obama administration economist proclaiming that “ We are about to see the best economic data we ’ ve seen in the history of this country.
” Now it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for real .
As cases stabilize this summer and hundreds of thousands of Americans return to the labor force every week , Trump will certainly benefit as voters this fall will have to contend with an economy that is objectively on a massive rebound .
To the victor go the spoils .

thelibertydaily--2020-07-14--Judge Theodore Chuang Rules Women Can Get Abortion Pill Without Doctor Visit

SILVER SPRING , Maryland ( AP ) — A federal judge agreed Monday to suspend a rule that requires women during the COVID-19 pandemic to visit a hospital , clinic or medical office to obtain an abortion pill .
U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang , an Obama appointee based in Maryland , concluded that the “ in-person requirements ” for patients seeking medication abortion care impose a “ substantial obstacle ” to abortion patients and are likely unconstitutional under the circumstances of the pandemic .
“ Particularly in light of the limited timeframe during which a medication abortion or any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the right to an abortion would constitute irreparable harm , ” the judge wrote in his 80-page decision .
Judge Chuang made headlines in 2017 for being one of a trio of judges who struck down President Trump ’ s Executive Orders Executive Order 13769 and Executive Order 13780 – the so-called “ Muslim Travel Ban.
” For now , Chuang ’ s ruling will allow healthcare providers to arrange for mifepristone to be mailed or delivered to patients during the public health emergency declared by the secretary of the U.S. Department of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Food and Drug Administration approved mifepristone to be used in combination with a second drug , misoprostol , to end an early pregnancy or manage a miscarriage .
“ By causing certain patients to decide between forgoing or substantially delaying abortion care , or risking exposure to COVID-19 for themselves , their children , and family members , the In-Person Requirements present a serious burden to many abortion patients , ” Chuang wrote .
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and other groups sued HHS and the FDA in May to challenge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ legal officer for the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists , said the FDA ’ s restrictions on mifepristone are not medically necessary and “ do not advance the health and safety of patients.
” “ Today ’ s ruling recognizes the hardship and undue burden that many women have faced obtaining essential health care during the COVID-19 pandemic , ” Perryman said .
Plaintiffs ’ attorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union argued that the FDA ’ s in-person requirements infringe on a woman ’ s constitutional rights to an abortion and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fifth Amendment .
Government lawyers have argued that the requirements are necessary to ensure that patients safely use mifepristone .
The FDA rule requires patients to pick up the single tablet of mifepristone at a hospital , clinic or medical office and sign a form that includes information about the medication ’ s potential risks .
The judge said suspending the requirements aligns with public health guidance to eliminate unnecessary travel and in-person contact .
Chuang granted the ACLU ’ s request for a preliminary injunction on due process grounds .
He noted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for many other drugs “ for the specific purpose of protecting public health.
” The group ’ s lawsuit says mifepristone is the only one of more than 20,000 FDA-regulated drugs that patients must receive in person at a hospital , clinic , or medical office “ yet may self-administer , unsupervised , at a location of their choosing.
” The judge didn ’ t set any geographic limitations on the injunction .
Referring to the nature of the pandemic , he said that “ crafting relief that attempts to account for both @ @ @ @ @ @ @ across 50 different states over an extended period of time is simply infeasible.
” The states of Indiana , Louisiana , Alabama , Arkansas , Idaho , Kentucky , Mississippi , Missouri , Nebraska and Oklahoma had asked to intervene in the lawsuit .
The 10 states argued that the case could impact how they enforce their own state laws that relate to or reference the FDA ’ s regulation of mifepristone .
Chuang rejected their request last month .
The judge said the federal case would not eliminate any state ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ above and beyond ” the FDA ’ s requirements .
More than 4 million people in the U.S. have used mifepristone and misoprostol to end an early pregnancy ; the two-drug combination accounted for 39 % of all U.S. abortions in 2017 , the lawsuit says .
The lawsuit says the FDA rule has “ particularly severe implications for low-income people and people of color , who comprise a disproportionate share of impacted patients and who are already suffering and dying from COVID-19 at substantially higher rates.
” In March , dozens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ HHS Secretary Alex Azar in which they called for halting abortion procedures during the pandemic .
“ Their continued operation depletes sorely needed personal protective equipment and leads to complications that will further overwhelm already overextended emergency rooms , ” the letter said .
Azar and FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn also were named as defendants in the suit .

thelibertydaily--2020-07-14--20,000 Mail-In Ballots in NY May Be Disqualified Because of Post Office Overload

A news story came out last week that didn ’ t get nearly the attention it deserved .
The reason is obvious .
It highlighted the risks and foible of mail-in balloting as 20,000 New York ballots may get tossed .
It wasn ’ t because the ballots were bad .
They weren ’ t late .
The voters who cast the ballots were , we assume , eligible to vote .
The reason they may get tossed is because the post offices were so overloaded , 20,000 ballots on election day weren ’ t properly postmarked .
Some might @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Just count them.
” The problem with that notion is that it would break New York law .
Others might say , “ Oh , it ’ s just 20,000 and probably wouldn ’ t have affected the election.
” To those who would say this , I would remind them that three states during the 2020 election were decided by fewer than 20,000 votes .

thelibertydaily--2020-07-15--It’s ALL About November 3

It’s ALL About November 3

The Democrats thought they could ride the tiger to victory .
Instead , they will be consumed by the monster they created but could not control .
Everything is what it is , and not another thing.
” That lapidary observation from the Sermons ( 1726 ) of Joseph , Bishop Butler , is one of the most profound philosophical observations I have ever encountered .
One of the simplest , too .
In nine short words , it introduces a principle of mental hygiene that Marxists , Freudians , Hegelians , astrologers , sociobiologists , and other lovers of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the point , at our—peril .
Butler ’ s chief target was what we now call the selfish theory of human nature—the “ strange affection in many people of explaining away all particular affections , and representing the whole of life as nothing but one continued exercise in self-love.
” Butler zeros in on the fundamental confusion that nurtures this unflattering view of humanity .
It is this : a ( deliberate ? )
confusion between the proposition that we can not knowingly act except from a desire or interest which is our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of our actions are self-interested .
The first is not only true , it is a necessary truth : it could not be otherwise .
The second proposition— that all of our actions are self-interested—far from being self-evidently true , is a scandalous falsehood .
It is a tautology that any interest we have is an interest of our own : whose else could it be ?
But the objects of our interest are as varied as the world is wide .
No doubt much of what we do we do from motives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do things for the sake of flag and country ; for the love of a good woman ; for the love of God ; to discover a new country ; to benefit a friend ; to harm an enemy ; to make a fortune ; to spend a fortune .
“ It is not , ” Butler notes , “ because we love ourselves that we find delight in such and such objects , but because we have particular affections towards them.
” How much wandering in mental thickets might have been avoided @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s Sermons ?
Not , in truth , that I think it would have saved the world from the nonsense of Freudianism , any more than it would have saved the world from the monstrosity that is Hegel ’ s dialectic .
Motives more powerful than the search for truth stand behind the erection of those mental bureaucracies , and it would be idle to think that mere logical cleanliness would rescue us from the egotism of intellectuals .
I begin with Bishop Butler ’ s incandescent observation because I am going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seem—but only seem—to contradict them .
As we look around at American society today , what do we see ?
A confusing mélange that seems partly mindless , partly vicious .
Our response to the latest Chinese import , the novel coronavirus—what was that ?
How long will we be in sorting out the petty and sometimes murderous tyrannies enacted by various state governors and other officials ?
And what about the malignant nonsense that is Black Lives Matter ?
How did that happen ?
How is it that celebrities , major corporations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ simultaneous multiple paroxysms of woke self-abasement because a lowlife career criminal with serious cardiac problems died in police custody ?
How do you go from an arrest in Minneapolis to the desecration of the Lincoln Memorial , the looting and burning of businesses across the country , and a regime of racially based ( and racially biased ) communal penance ?
I do not believe I am violating the principle of Bishop Butler ’ s argument when I say that almost everything happening in our society—all the craziness , all the posturing , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and downright mendacity—all of it is not about itself but about something else , and that something else is Donald Trump .
A new , flu-like virus is abroad in the land .
The anti-Trump establishment goes to work : How can we blame it on Trump ?
He shuts down flights from China at the end of January : charge him with being racist and xenophobic .
He consults experts .
They tell him it is not a serious threat .
He goes on television and says that : hysteria !
Then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ manufacturing prowess and turns out more ventilators , protective gear , testing kits , and new therapies than anyone thought possible .
The curve flattens .
The political weapon that was COVID-19 falters .
No problem .
Declare a race war !
Smash up the storefronts .
Get everybody talking about racism all the time .
Ignore the fact that the people overwhelmingly harmed by Black Lives Matter are inner-city blacks .
Blame everything on Donald Trump .

Everything is what it is, and not another thing.” That lapidary observation from the Sermons (1726) of Joseph, Bishop Butler, is one of the most profound philosophical observations I have ever encountered. One of the simplest, too. In nine short words, it introduces a principle of mental hygiene that Marxists, Freudians, Hegelians, astrologers, sociobiologists, and other lovers of mystification ignore at their—or, more to the point, at our—peril.
Butler’s chief target was what we now call the selfish theory of human nature—the “strange affection in many people of explaining away all particular affections, and representing the whole of life as nothing but one continued exercise in self-love.” Butler zeros in on the fundamental confusion that nurtures this unflattering view of humanity. It is this: a (deliberate?) confusion between the proposition that we cannot knowingly act except from a desire or interest which is our own, and the proposition that all of our actions are self-interested.
The first is not only true, it is a necessary truth: it could not be otherwise. The second proposition— that all of our actions are self-interested—far from being self-evidently true, is a scandalous falsehood.
It is a tautology that any interest we have is an interest of our own: whose else could it be? But the objects of our interest are as varied as the world is wide.
No doubt much of what we do we do from motives of self-interest. But we might also do things for the sake of flag and country; for the love of a good woman; for the love of God; to discover a new country; to benefit a friend; to harm an enemy; to make a fortune; to spend a fortune.
“It is not,” Butler notes, “because we love ourselves that we find delight in such and such objects, but because we have particular affections towards them.” How much wandering in mental thickets might have been avoided had Sigmund Freud acquainted himself with Butler’s Sermons?
Not, in truth, that I think it would have saved the world from the nonsense of Freudianism, any more than it would have saved the world from the monstrosity that is Hegel’s dialectic. Motives more powerful than the search for truth stand behind the erection of those mental bureaucracies, and it would be idle to think that mere logical cleanliness would rescue us from the egotism of intellectuals.
A Monolithic Wall of Noise
I begin with Bishop Butler’s incandescent observation because I am going to say a few words that might seem—but only seem—to contradict them. As we look around at American society today, what do we see? A confusing mélange that seems partly mindless, partly vicious. Our response to the latest Chinese import, the novel coronavirus—what was that? How long will we be in sorting out the petty and sometimes murderous tyrannies enacted by various state governors and other officials?
And what about the malignant nonsense that is Black Lives Matter? How did that happen? How is it that celebrities, major corporations, and tony schools and colleges experienced simultaneous multiple paroxysms of woke self-abasement because a lowlife career criminal with serious cardiac problems died in police custody? How do you go from an arrest in Minneapolis to the desecration of the Lincoln Memorial, the looting and burning of businesses across the country, and a regime of racially based (and racially biased) communal penance?
I do not believe I am violating the principle of Bishop Butler’s argument when I say that almost everything happening in our society—all the craziness, all the posturing, all the distracting noise, exaggeration, and downright mendacity—all of it is not about itself but about something else, and that something else is Donald Trump.
A new, flu-like virus is abroad in the land. The anti-Trump establishment goes to work: How can we blame it on Trump? He shuts down flights from China at the end of January: charge him with being racist and xenophobic. He consults experts. They tell him it is not a serious threat. He goes on television and says that: hysteria! Then he swings into action, mobilizes American manufacturing prowess and turns out more ventilators, protective gear, testing kits, and new therapies than anyone thought possible. The curve flattens. The political weapon that was COVID-19 falters. No problem. Declare a race war! Smash up the storefronts. Get everybody talking about racism all the time. Ignore the fact that the people overwhelmingly harmed by Black Lives Matter are inner-city blacks. Blame everything on Donald Trump.
The unremitting, monolithic wall of noise that has been crashing against Donald Trump since election day 2016 has gotten louder and louder, more cacophonous, more furious, more irrational. Everything is what it is, and not another thing. But the one thing that takes precedence over everything now is defeating Trump, which means defeating not only Trump himself but what he stands for—those 63 million voters who put him in office, for starters.
The Fundamental Choice
But it’s more than that. The forces of anti-Trump hatred comprise not just Democratic aspirants to high office but also, and more significantly, the media (social and otherwise), the spoiled, pajama-boy Left, and—above all, perhaps—the entrenched administrative apparatus of government, the self-engorging bureaucracy of the state whose fundamental allegiance is to the principle of self-perpetuation.
It is all of that which Donald Trump came to office to sweep clean, like Hercules confronting the Augean stables. The first time around the reaction was a compact of contempt and ridicule, but that was only because Trump could not win. The smartest people in the world—Bill Kristol, Nancy Pelosi, Rachel Maddow—they all knew he couldn’t win. So they didn’t come together in a single caterwauling primal scream to stop him.
This time they have. And since they control almost all the major megaphones, it can sometimes seem that everyone is against Donald Trump and no one is for him.
It can seem that way, but of course it is not. And that is chiefly for two reasons. First, there are those 63 million voters—perhaps it will be 66 or 68 million this time. Voters whose voices you don’t hear in the pages of the New York Times and whose rigged Google searches and Facebook hot spots somehow leave out of account. They’re sitting at home watching their cities burn, watching monuments to Columbus, to Washington and Thomas Jefferson be defaced or toppled. They see that, and they hear a nonstop litany telling them how racist they are and how evil America is.
And just about now, a great chasm is opening up. The choice, they see, is not so much between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. It is between the America they love—that Donald Trump celebrates—and the out-of-control forces of anti-American hatred that, though he does not understand them, Joe Biden manages to blink and nod and gibber around.
Everything that is happening between now and November 3 is about November 3. But the fundamental choice is not really Donald Trump or Joe Biden. It is civilization and America on one side, anarchy and woke tyranny on the other. The Democrats thought they could ride the tiger to victory. Instead, they will be consumed by the monster they created but could not control.

On Tuesday evening, President Trump announced that he’ll soon sign a “very powerful immigration act” which will change the immigration system, prioritizing merit-based applications.

thelibertydaily--2020-07-15--Identity Politics, Oppression and Aversion to the White Man

Victimhood is the fuel for the Progressive , Socialist revolution .
Editors ’ note : Identity politics has become a hallmark of Progressive ideology and has even leaked into the domain of conservatism .
Central to identity politics is the notion of racial victimhood .
For that to exist , there must be an oppressor , and that oppressor is collectively the white race , particularly white men .
Thus , according to Progressive ideology , all lives do not matter equally ; oppressed lives matter more .
That is why the Left doesn ’ t care that Islamic supremacists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ genocide against Christians is taking place in Africa and the Middle East .
The paradigm that matters is oppressor versus oppressed , white versus non-white , and to disagree is to provoke the wrath of the woke mob .
In December 2017 , Associate Editor for FrontPage Magazine Christine Douglass-Williams was fired as a Governor in Council Appointee by the Liberal government of Canada for criticizing Islam in her writings , mainly for the Freedom Center 's own Jihad Watch .
She was a Director on the Canadian Race Relations Foundation .
Christine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ published by the Center for Security Policy ( CSP ) , titled : Fired by the Canadian Government for Criticizing Islam - Multicultural Canada : A Weak Link in the Battle Against Islamization .
CSP founder Frank Gaffney wrote in the foreword : Below is an excerpt from Christine Douglass-Williams ’ book : The Use of Victimology and Identity Politics by Civilizational Jihadists The major thrust of this section is that Islamic supremacist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood have exploited victimology in their manipulation of multiculturalism , the anti-racism industry , diversity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ socialist-left leadership of many Western nations .
It is important to grasp that keeping people oppressed or otherwise “ helping ” them to embrace an identity of oppression enables totalitarian agendas .
Some points to note about this modus operandi : i ) education among “ oppressed ” groups is discouraged , as knowledge enlightens .
Because knowledge is empowering , the oppressor ’ s power is diminished as the oppressed becomes enlightened .
ii ) oppressed groups can be manipulated to revolution in support of their corrupt leaders ’ indoctrinated vision , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ oppressed populations are relatively easy to control via leadership propaganda , due to their lack of education , their poverty , and dependence on their corrupt , but venerated leaders .
Oppressed populations also permit a convenient enlarging of power distances between them and their leaders , so that their leaders lead , and they follow in obedient trust , whether or not those leaders are worthy of that trust .
In Western societies , two phenomena can be observed among the united socialist left , which benefits the victimology narrative : the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which instills the detrimental idea that brown people and black people are to be pitied forever because they have been nearly irreparably broken by white people .
They are therefore deemed to be at least partially justified in any unlawful or harmful act they commit of which the same behavior is regarded as unacceptable in white society .
Embedded in this lenience of expectation toward brown and black people is a presumption of their inferiority , although it is never presented that way .
For example , it is overlooked that Arabs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sold into sex slavery by Muslims , that child brides are being sentenced to torturous marriages in Islam .
In this view , ethnic people do not need to abide by the same rules of human rights that white people are expected to observe because they are deemed to be inept , incapable of overcoming and of achieving .
In this view , it is peculiar that it is generally unrecognized—or at least seldom articulated—that Islam has been engaging in such practices for 1400 years , because one need look no further than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and must always be the white man ’ s fault to maintain the very status quo that its enablers pretend to reject : i.e.
, the bigotry of low expectations .
The same victimhood mentality applies to blacks .
Although there are significant differences in the history of non-Muslim blacks and Muslims , and reasons why these groups retain the status of oppressed groups , the reasons put forth by their socialist and Islamic supremacist leaders are : white privilege , white oppression , white supremacy .
All the while , when members @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is ignored .
The victimization within these groups is also ignored .
Secondly , this system allows for a guarantee that leaders of the publicly and privately funded “ anti-racism ” industry are well-off , while their client “ victims ” remain ghettoized .

Editors’ note: Identity politics has become a hallmark of Progressive ideology and has even leaked into the domain of conservatism. Central to identity politics is the notion of racial victimhood. For that to exist, there must be an oppressor, and that oppressor is collectively the white race, particularly white men. Thus, according to Progressive ideology, all lives do not matter equally; oppressed lives matter more. That is why the Left doesn’t care that Islamic supremacists still enslave black Africans or that a genocide against Christians is taking place in Africa and the Middle East. The paradigm that matters is oppressor versus oppressed, white versus non-white, and to disagree is to provoke the wrath of the woke mob.
In December 2017, Associate Editor for FrontPage Magazine Christine Douglass-Williams was fired as a Governor in Council Appointee by the Liberal government of Canada for criticizing Islam in her writings, mainly for the Freedom Center’s own Jihad Watch. She was a Director on the Canadian Race Relations Foundation. Christine told her story in a monograph, published by the Center for Security Policy (CSP), titled: Fired by the Canadian Government for Criticizing Islam – Multicultural Canada: A Weak Link in the Battle Against Islamization. CSP founder Frank Gaffney wrote in the foreword:
Deeply concerned about the precipitous slide of our northern neighbor toward authoritarianism, especially with regard to free speech about the alarming influence of the jihadist Muslim Brotherhood and the broader global Islamic Movement on Canadians’ ability to enjoy the intrinsic human rights guaranteed to them in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Center for Security Policy asked Christine Douglass-Williams to document her experiences. This monograph, Fired by the Canadian Government for Criticizing Islam – Multicultural Canada: A Weak Link for Islamization, is her deeply personal account—but it is also something much more important. For while the arbitrary and discriminatory treatment of an individual Canadian citizen is a story worth telling in its own right, it is the broader implications for the future of free expression, free speech, and all other individual rights intrinsic to human beings everywhere, that makes Douglass-Williams’ work here so valuable.
Below is an excerpt from Christine Douglass-Williams’ book:
***
The Use of Victimology and Identity Politics by Civilizational Jihadists
The major thrust of this section is that Islamic supremacist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood have exploited victimology in their manipulation of multiculturalism, the anti-racism industry, diversity drives, Muslim populations, and the socialist-left leadership of many Western nations.
It is important to grasp that keeping people oppressed or otherwise “helping” them to embrace an identity of oppression enables totalitarian agendas. Some points to note about this modus operandi: i) education among “oppressed” groups is discouraged, as knowledge enlightens. Because knowledge is empowering, the oppressor’s power is diminished as the oppressed becomes enlightened. ii) oppressed groups can be manipulated to revolution in support of their corrupt leaders’ indoctrinated vision, ideology, and goals. iii) oppressed populations are relatively easy to control via leadership propaganda, due to their lack of education, their poverty, and dependence on their corrupt, but venerated leaders. Oppressed populations also permit a convenient enlarging of power distances between them and their leaders, so that their leaders lead, and they follow in obedient trust, whether or not those leaders are worthy of that trust.
In Western societies, two phenomena can be observed among the united socialist left, which benefits the victimology narrative: the first is a bigotry of low expectations, which instills the detrimental idea that brown people and black people are to be pitied forever because they have been nearly irreparably broken by white people. They are therefore deemed to be at least partially justified in any unlawful or harmful act they commit of which the same behavior is regarded as unacceptable in white society.
Embedded in this lenience of expectation toward brown and black people is a presumption of their inferiority, although it is never presented that way. For example, it is overlooked that Arabs hold black slaves, that women are sold into sex slavery by Muslims, that child brides are being sentenced to torturous marriages in Islam.
In this view, ethnic people do not need to abide by the same rules of human rights that white people are expected to observe because they are deemed to be inept, incapable of overcoming and of achieving. In this view, it is peculiar that it is generally unrecognized—or at least seldom articulated—that Islam has been engaging in such practices for 1400 years, because one need look no further than the white man.
It is always and must always be the white man’s fault to maintain the very status quo that its enablers pretend to reject: i.e., the bigotry of low expectations. The same victimhood mentality applies to blacks. Although there are significant differences in the history of non-Muslim blacks and Muslims, and reasons why these groups retain the status of oppressed groups, the reasons put forth by their socialist and Islamic supremacist leaders are: white privilege, white oppression, white supremacy.
All the while, when members of these groups victimize others, it is ignored. The victimization within these groups is also ignored. Secondly, this system allows for a guarantee that leaders of the publicly and privately funded “anti-racism” industry are well-off, while their client “victims” remain ghettoized.
Of course, there are those in the anti-racism industry who are sincere, who assist in the healing of past wounds, who aid in the practicalities of individual and group development, and who cultivate unity, true diversity, pluralism, and a strong national identity, but these represent a struggling minority within the industry.
The anti-racism industry as a whole has been hijacked by powerful, known lobbies such as Muslim Brotherhood offshoots and Black Lives Matter, in which those two lobbies have now managed to converge. The victimhood status quo also enables the expansion of a totalitarian agenda, in which big government is needed to “help” the people who are unable to help themselves.
In this scenario, selling “compassion” for the so-called oppressed is a marketing tool, whereby “experts” and government political leaders line their pockets as the self-proclaimed protectors of the wretchedly oppressed. In this scenario, there must be a villain, i.e., the group doing the oppressing and this group must be controlled, silenced or both. This villainous group constitutes the specter of the masters of oppression from the days of colonialism and slavery. Their victims regrettably remain in shackles, the cycle of the bigotry of low expectations continues, and the oppressed remain stunted. Western societies have evolved to become diverse and immigrant friendly.
This is not to say that racism, intolerance, xenophobia, and bigotry do not exist. They do, but they are not exclusive to white people but are also found among various groups of immigrants. Western constitutions permit all citizens to scrutinize and criticize government and various ideologies, to dialogue and debate openly, and to hold one another accountable. This makes for the continuance and preservation of democratic freedoms.
The hallmark of democracy is freedom of speech, while totalitarianism is marked by little to no freedom of expression.
Victimhood Indoctrination as a Home-Base for Revolution
Following its first black presidency, America is more polarized than ever. Rather than celebrate the advancement of blacks while continuing to progress toward unity and peaceful dialogue, along comes the Black Lives Matter Movement to foment violence against the front-line protectors of our societies.
Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan indoctrinates hatred against police into his followers using cases of blacks who have been killed by white policemen in shootouts. Farrakhan cultivates the belief that racism is so deeply entrenched in the white community that blacks are being unfairly hunted and murdered by white policemen.
The concept of fanning the flames of perpetual victimhood and revolution to acquire and sustain power is nothing new. Lenin, Stalin, and Mao well understood the need to keep pushing the us-versus-them mentality to distract populations from the truth and the harsh reality of day-to- day living. Their unscrupulousness paid off.
The one question the revolutionaries never want to address publicly is their end vision for Western society, because they don’t have one that they wish to reveal. That is the secret they guard and hide as they manipulate people and foment rage and violence among their own followers. Their end goal is not desirable, credible, or useful, but comes down to ultimately advancing their own lust for personal power.
Many among the white segment of the so-called “anti-racism” industry have aided these revolutionary movements, such as the Nation of Islam and Black Lives Matter, by justifying their rage, thereby exposing their own bigotry of low expectations and thus assisting to block the black community from escaping the chains of past slavery and victimhood.
Yet the biggest oppressors of the black community have become their own hate-filled leaders who exploit the community and cause members to keep their eyes focused on the chains of slavery as the community moves through generations of poverty, family breakdown, black-on-black crime and lack of education. They are rendered unable to escape a ghettoized existence.
The oppressed black community has now teamed up with Islamic supremacists and the two are working toward cultivation of goals to indoctrinate and incite revolution against the non-Muslim white society.
All the while, peace-loving black and brown people who know and proclaim what these indoctrinators are up to are firmly dismissed as “uncle Toms,” “sell-outs,” or are ignored. Those who oppose the condescending victimology narrative have also become targets of rage by the profiteers of the anti-racism business, by those indoctrinated by it, and even those who have personally embraced the victim identity.
Farrakhan has called for the murder of police and he did it in the name of “righteousness,” “human rights,” “justice,” and religion as he invoked the Quran. He openly declared:
“Death is sweeter than to continue to live and bury our children, while white folks give the killer hamburgers. Death is sweeter, than watching us slaughter each other, to the joy of a 400-year-old enemy. Yes, death is sweeter. The Quran teaches persecution is worse than slaughter. Then it says, ‘Retaliation is prescribed in matters of the slain.’ Retaliation is a prescription from God, to calm the breast of those whose children have been slain. So if the federal government will not intercede in our affairs, then we must rise up and kill those who kill us. Stalk them and kill them and let them feel the pain of death that we are feeling.”
There is no systemic stalking of blacks in America or Canada. Farrakhan is a stark example of the power that leaders possess to indoctrinate their followers and turn them against authorities of the state, who are there to maintain order and the rule of law. His blatant incitement should have led to his arrest, but the bigotry of low expectations gives him reprieve.
Hatred and incitement to violence and murder against Jews and whites that is deemed to be justified have deep implications for the direction of the West in general. Had a white person proclaimed the violence as Farrakhan did against blacks and Muslims, that person would be punished, and should be.
The Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi also appealed for white and black men to join hands in unity and so-called “equality” in the name of Allah:
“It is a state where the Arab and non-Arab, the white man and black man, the easterner and westerner are all brothers,” he said—an appeal aimed at broadening his support base beyond the Middle East.
“Muslims, rush to your state. Yes, it is your state. Rush, because Syria is not for the Syrians, and Iraq is not for the Iraqis. The earth is Allah’s.”
There is a problem in the black community stemming from a history of abuse, and this history is now being further abused and exploited by many leaders such as Farrakhan within the black community.
Most of them will not brazenly issue an open call to violence and murder as Farrakhan has done, but their silence in the face of such calls, along with the size of Farrakhan’s following and influence is revealing.
Another example of the alliance between Black Lives Matter and Islam in the U.S.: in a speech delivered to the Annual Muslim American Society (MAS) and Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) Convention in December 2015, Nihad Awad, the Executive Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), urged Muslim Americans to take up the cause of Black Lives Matter. “Black Lives Matter is our matter,” he said; “Black Lives Matter is our campaign.”
There are clear links between Canada and the United States. Both countries share a continent, therefore, when one sneezes, the other risks catching the cold.

Also CAIR, which began in the States, found its way into Canada, as CAIR-CAN and subsequently the NCCM; but in 2018, when President Trump announced his temporary immigration ban on five majority-Muslim countries plus North Korea and Venezuela (Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen), Prime Minister Trudeau responded by tweeting out an open welcome to refugees.
