Last nite on FOX News I saw Mark Levin interview Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Let me just say the Governor has developed quite a reputation. He fully reopened Florida and ended many of his gov't mandates in his state and perhaps a model for where many states can direct their states as this pandemic appears to be on the wane.
Sadly that also makes him a target. There are many who want him to be so wrong. And having not watched 60 Minutes for many years, a network TV news magazine I used to respect his words are being distorted and I see here that many in his home state are taking umbrage.
Well seeing this in the Tribune was quite shocking to say the least. Don't know what to say about this:
Gloria Steinem’s new book, “My Life on the Road,” recounts her life’s journeys and travels. Early reviews and profiles reveal incredible detail of Steinem’s barrier-breaking feminist role, liberal politics, romances, proclivities and style.
What is often missed, or mischaracterized, however, is the work she did as a CIA agent: Steinem was a spook.
CIA agents are tight-lipped, but Steinem spoke openly about her relationship to “The Agency” in the 1950s and ‘60s after a magazine revealed her employment by a CIA front organization, the Independent Research Service.
While popularly pilloried because of her paymaster, Steinem defended the CIA relationship, saying: “In my experience The Agency was completely different from its image; it was liberal, nonviolent and honorable.”
Less cloak and dagger and more a young, energetic, global representative for American values and freedom, Steinem leveraged her underwriting to attend international youth festivals organized and otherwise ideologically dominated by America’s adversaries.
Long before the formalized concept of soft power, Steinem personified and promoted abroad the vigor and progressive nature of the U.S. youth movement..
Ahhhh, I see whats going on here, methinks:
Strange as it may seem, Steinem’s personal views and CIA political goals
aligned. Her brand of social revolution, promoted by American tax
dollars, was meant to counter Soviet-sponsored revolutionary messaging.
Public funds were intended to slow the Soviet scourge while showing
America’s alternative democratic face.
Basically engineer a response to whatever propaganda the USSR was trying to pump into America. Perhaps their own program as opposed to something homegrown. Now it seems like the Russians and America have always played this games.
Today it's different though I don't want to feed in the Russia investigation into their interference with our electoral process. It seems instead of using this against a faction in American politics that isn't appreciated there has to be a way to defeat any nation from interfering in America's democratic processes.
[VIDEO] I've been following Mark Dice, who just so happens to be an outspoken right-wing YouTuber for quite a while now. Today's video he takes on "anti-white racism" and it's certainly a subject worth discussing.
On ocassion as of late this issue has been explored here. What exactly is "white privilege"? The concept was somewhat explained in a video found from the BBC last year - posted at "The Moleskine". One aspect of this is that a Black man who doesn't speed, run red lights or anything like that is more likely to get stopped than a white man who does the same thing.
To be fair I have a concept of "white privilege" and the privilege could be inherent advantages based upon ethnicity or skin color. Perhaps a leg up on a job, an advantage as far as credit, or even an advantage as far as the justice system. At least that's my concept of white privilege.
Unfortunately what does Dice discuss in his latest video? Well to put my own spin on it, the idea of white privilege has caused some elements here in the nation to engage in some irrational acts. Noted in this video there had be an article from The Root where it is argued whites who are in interracial relationships and biracial children still aren't absolved of their racism. No matter what white people are going to be racist, and yes this does remind me of something - i.e. if you're a man you're always misogynist & racist sexist.
Anyway back to The Root:
We know that the number of black men who date white women far exceeds the number of black women who date white men. Nor are black women exalted by society the way white women are. In the few interracial relationships that I’ve seen with black women and white men, the black women are usually still remarkably black as fuck, and they still defend all black people (with a few exceptions).
And we can’t ignore the inherent sexual stereotypes that have marred black people for centuries. Black men and women have been seen as sexual beasts since we arrived in this country. Black men with their oversized penises, black women with their oversized breasts and asses, and both with their oversized sexual appetite became a sick fetish meant only for white pleasure.
When people say they can’t be racist because they have a black child, I laugh, as if the insertion of black penis into white vagina or white penis into black vagina is some magical act that wipes you clean of all your racism. As if there isn’t porn specifically dedicated to the subjugation of black women by white men. As if white demure housewives being beasted by a group of sex-crazed black men aren’t trending on YouPorn. As if slave owners and their sympathizers didn’t have children by black women while simultaneously writing laws that kept slavery legal and/or otherwise contributing to the subjugation of black people (Thomas Jefferson and Strom Thurmond, just to name a few).
Also we learned that at the US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado some racist graffitti was found in the dorms there. One problem after an investigation the racist grafitti was done by a Black student there. So in performing this hoax, this individual merely screws up an opportunity at a service academy - which essentially provides tuition-free college education with a commitment to serve in the Air Force. I didn't intend to excerpt this, but just have to now:
“The individual admitted responsibility and this was validated by the investigation,” academy spokesman Lt. Col. Allen Herritage said in a statement to the Associated Press, adding: “Racism has no place at the academy, in any shape or form.”
The cadet candidate accused of crafting the messages was not identified, but the Colorado Springs Gazette reported that the individual is no longer enrolled at the school. Sources also told the Gazette the cadet candidate “committed the act in a bizarre bid to get out of trouble he faced at the school for other misconduct,” the newspaper reported.
What a shame! Manufactured controversy, just deflecting using some very incendiary accusations.
Also I shared the article Dice starts off with in this video also over at "The Moleskine". An op-ed asking whether or not Black children can be friends with white children. Life in 2017 and questions worth answering even in the era of President Donald Trump.
