Paul Craig Roberts – paulcraigroberts.org Apr 18, 2024
The Biden Regime is using federal money to bribe the Aggies, Texas A&M University, to come up with ways to advance “race-based hiring” in public schools. https://texasscorecard.com/investigations/texas-am-advancing-race-based-hiring-in-schools/
Possible you remember or have heard that Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement was about judging “people by their character and not the color of their skin.” Once perhaps, but it has been a long time since. For half a century skin color has had preference, if it is non-white, in university admissions, employment and promotion.
Feminists latched onto the scheme and the female gender was also privileged.
This is not to say that no blacks and no females are qualified for their position. Many of them are. It is to say that they are in their position despite their qualifications because they constitute a privileged category before the law, a total violation of the US Constitution and its 14th Amendment.
The emphasis on “diversity” has prevailed over the merit-based system into which I was born and grew up. Today merit is considered racist, a white supremacy tool. Many gifted student programs and high schools for the exceptional have been shut down because two few blacks are qualified, and small presence of blacks violates the sacredness of “diversity” and “equity.”
A country whose education, employment and promotion is based on diversity and not on merit is a country that is failing, and most certainly America has long been a failing country. For example, we now have “diversity” appointments to prosecutorial offices such as prosecutors and attorney generals and as judges who have no understanding of law as a shield of the people, but who see it is a weapon to be used against disapproved parties. We see the total collapse of justice in America in the many examples of the Democrats’ Stalin show trials against President Trump and against the alleged “insurrectionists” who attended the Trump rally..
To the few remaining people of my generation it is astonishing that merit, which made America great and a ladder of upward mobility, has been officially cast aside for “diversity” in which advance is based on skin color, gender or self-proclaimed, non-biological gender.
Have the people who have created this deplorable situation ever wondered how a non-merit based mediocre society can be a superpower, an unipolar, a hegemony whose exceptional and indispensable existence gives it right to hegemony over the world?
China, the host of most of American manufacturing must wonder at the American Delusion.
Russia, whose power and economy have been greatly elevated by the mindless American sanctions, must wonder if the USA even qualifies as an opponent.
Even Iran no longer fears the US.
If you are so unfortunate as to live in New York City or other blue cities, your home and your rental properties can be stolen from you by the Democrats’ massive and ongoing wave of immigrant-invaders who can occupy your property in your absence and occupy your rental property between leases and you cannot evict them.
Regardless of the reality in which they live, many Americans still vote Democrat. When a people vote for their own-self destruction, it is clear that the country is finished.
Fort Worth, Texas, has a “cultural awareness program,” called “Diversity Matters Champions.” The city’s Diversity and Inclusion Department lists events, such as LGBT Pride Month, Juneteenth, and Hispanic Heritage Month. If a city employee attends 5 events, they will qualify as a “Diversity Matters Champion” and be qualified for advancement. https://texasscorecard.com/local/fort-worth-employees-can-become-dei-champions/
This is America today. The youth are lost to us, because they are no longer schooled in the virtues of a free society but are propagandized against it as white supremacy. Moreover, the freedom my generation experienced is almost gone, so American youth do not know freedom.
How can this be repaired? How can freedom be resurrected? Not in the public schools. University “education” departments turn out woke morons alienated against their country. Law schools turn out alienated graduates who regard the US Constitution as a racist document and prosecutors who regard law not as a shield of the people but as a weapon to be wielded against the people.
This is all serious and truth. There is no free country here.
As Parts 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of The Great Dispossession make clear, our remaining independence is about to be brought to an end.
Politics has been Race War all along, with Whites being slapped around and never mustering a reply, with even Hitler being no exception but, rather, an acceleration of killing Whites. Not one aspect of Wokeness is anything but anti-White Race War
This post ranks true in the big cities (Houston, San Antonio, Dallas/Fort Worth, and El Paso, which have been Democrat strongholds for decades, and in certain parts of Texas (south/Mexican border areas like Harlingen, Brownsville and those southeast Texas border areas, and much of east Texas in general, as well as some Hill Country areas and places like Del Rio and Dallas suburbs), but NOT in far west Texas (except El Paso0, or in the Permian Basin cities (Midland/Odessa) and surrounding areas which produce the oil and fracking). For instance, Brewster County (Big Bend area, Alpine, etc.) recently went red. Presidio, a border town across from Ojinaga, Mexico, also recently went red (Presidio County seat Marfa is still blue, of course….artsy-fartsies upper middle class whites who will never vote Republican…but its Hispanic female county judge is staunchly opposed to illegals coming in…hmmmmm). So that while Texas does appear to becoming more liberal, it’s only in the large cities and suburbs areas for the most part, and the southeast border areas. There isn’t a Hispanic rancher or anyone out here in rural remote far west Texas that supports the illegal invasion. Not one!
And let me add more info as to Texas turning blue–I’d say all those liberals leaving Commiefornia for tax purposes (less tax)–which most Texas oppose, BTW–may be another reason this is happening. (And same for Florida….liberal snowbirds from the northeast retiring there). But we in Texas have no problem with anyone leaving Commiefornia to escape the commie part… Maybe the libtard techies should go somewhere lese, maybe? Note: I live in rural far west Texas, where most illegals dare not tread…mountain lions, etc.
Re Woke states:
Sadly….
…….even the most “conservative” states (like Texas and Florida) will ultimately and eventually end up WOKE , mainly by attrition.
The traditional “left” is near extinct…they allowed the Trojan Horse of WOKE-ism infiltrate their ranks and mount a coup to create an extreme left whose members are communists/terrorists/SJW psychopaths etc.etc. who will bully and intimidate the more conservative left etc.
Could this be due to the red heifer that is to be offered in blasphemous sacrifice (this Passover allegedly) was procured at a ranch in Texas? God’s curse perhaps? See hiddenintgecrag.org (I am not affiliated, just doing research) and the report there. The “synagogue of satan” has already sacrificed a red heifer on the summer solstice 2019 and a sheep named “Corona” (can’t make this sort of thing up!) on or about September 25, 2019 on the Mount of Olives. See seanreynoldsremnant. blog spot or .wordpress.com as he has an article here about that! Jesus LIVES!!!!!
Doesn’t Alex Jones live in Texas? He must be popping bottles of his line of Anxiety pills.
“The youth are lost to us, because they are no longer schooled in the virtues of a free society but are propagandized against it as white supremacy.”
This is largely true, but not entirely so… Paul Craig Roberts’ generation may have been “schooled” in the virtues of a free society, but exactly where did that get us?
Today’s youth have to figure it out for themselves. They are up against a cultural war that many are succumbing to, but certain bright sparks are firing on through.
Here’s the evidence: One in five young Americans between the ages of 18-29 know the Holocaust is a myth.
