There’s a severe shortage of workers across America! Critical jobs that can’t be filled at any wage! As the pundits rage back and forth about the cause, my personal history makes me wonder if it’s not a sinister plot.

Way back in my yoof, I originally trained for a career in FIRE… finance, insurance, real estate. Hard work and high intelligence got me a couple valuable skills that very, very few people can do. I reasonably expected to be a millionaire by age 30. Graduated at a high rank.

Never got a job.

The industry was simultaneously desperate for workers at the time, and utterly unwilling to get back to me on literally hundreds of applications I’d made over the years. It was long after I’d given up in bewilderment, that I found out FIRE was ground zero for H1b visa abuse. The entire industry was shredding applications so it could bitch to Congress about needing more migrant workers for “the jobs Americans didn’t want to do”. Americans like me, specifically, who’d have been happy to just get a foot in the door.

Now I look at today’s headlines… 60 container ships waiting at the Port of Long Beach because ‘nobody wants to work at any price’, ‘we need more workers in America’… and I’m having flashbacks to the last time an entire industry lied in lockstep about its employment needs.

Maybe this time, it’s the entire economy in lockstep lying. There’s even precedent for that now. *Chinaballs*

What Is Causing The Global People Shortage?

h ttp://endoftheamericandream.com/what-is-causing-the-global-people-shortage/

By Michael Snyder, 26 September 2021

Did you ever imagine that we would be facing an epic shortage of workers all over the globe in the second half of 2021? Right now, thousands upon thousands of large companies all over the world are absolutely desperate for workers. They are raising wages, they are throwing in extra vacation days and they are even doing away with drug tests, but they still can’t find enough able-bodied people to hire.

Wow, they’re EVEN going to start trusting their workers! Amazing! Innovative!

“You won’t flip burgers even for $20 an hour?”

“I also want more than 25 hours a week so I can have benefits instead of working a second job.”

“Next!”

*White man walks in.*

“You’ll screw up my Tolerance In Diversity statistics. Next!”

“I’ll do anything, just don’t send me to another sexual harassment class!”

“Next! Why don’t people want to work anymore?”

At this moment, this is one of the biggest problems that the global economy is facing. If we simply had enough people to do the jobs that needed to be done, a lot of our glaring supply chain issues would rapidly fade away.

So why can’t we find enough workers?

Maybe because our inbred Yankee-Jew leaders exclude badwhites, men, the old, the young, the un-degreed and the unvaccinated from the workforce, then coerce labor conditions upon the demoralized remnant such that the only people willing to work are Third World immigrants acclimated to Third World working conditions? Maybe because our country’s best and brightest are transsexual lesbian journalists of color? Maybe because the kleptocratic solipsism of the Baby Boomers has gone unpunished long enough that fraud and theft have become accepted lifestyles? Maybe because everything that made us different and special from the human livestock next door has been Cancel-Cultured? None of that is hyperbole.

In my entire lifetime, our planet has never had to deal with a severe lack of workers.

Instead, chronic unemployment was always a huge unsolvable puzzle for global leaders. Politicians loved to give speeches about finding enough jobs for everyone, and of course none of them could ever actually accomplish that goal.

But now here we are in the middle of a pandemic and that puzzle has somehow suddenly been solved?

That seems rather odd.

Here in the United States, some of our biggest corporations can’t seem to hire enough people no matter how hard they may try. For example, things have gotten so bad at FedEx that they are now rerouting 600,000 packages a day.

The more this guy talks about the labor woes of globalist corporations, the more I suspect I’m right. There are plenty of workers in America… but they’re badthink workers.

FedEx Chief Operating Officer Raj Subramaniam said during an earnings call this week that there have been “widespread inefficiencies” in its operation due to “constrained labor markets” which have ultimately forced the company to divert packages.

There are more than 600,000 packages a day being rerouted across the entire FedEx Ground network, according to Subramaniam.

QED. “I am Director Pajeet and I cannot find anybody in this wealthy, trusting new country to work a job. I am reluctantly forced to import all 25,000 of my cousins at your expense.”

Of course FedEx is far from alone. According to Fox Business, a desire to hire workers is very widespread right now.

[article quote]All 12 industry sectors in the U.S. reported having “hiring intentions at ten-year highs. with plans to bring workers back following the pandemic, according to ManpowerGroup’s Employment Outlook Survey of nearly 45,000 employers around the world.

.This recovery is unlike any we have seen before with hiring intent picking up much faster than after the previous economic downturn,. ManpowerGroup CEO Jonas Prising said.[/quote]

The centralization suggested by the existence of this ManpowerGroup also suggests the possibility of entire global industries doing “choir practice”.

[Another quote]Some 69% of employers worldwide are having trouble finding the people they need, with countries like India, Romania and Singapore reporting a particularly difficult time hiring. The poll results, which include data from over 45,000 employers from 43 countries and territories, underscores just how desperate companies are getting. While half of them are dangling monetary incentives, 20% are offering non-financial benefits like extra vacation days or, yes, the ability to do (certain) drugs in the employee’s free time without worrying about repercussions.[/quote]

Hmm. HALF of them are offering more money and a FIFTH are offering more humane working conditions… and that only out of desperation. It’s a Scooby-Doo mystery why people don’t want to work for them.

If they’re even being allowed to work for them.

Did you ever think that we would see the day when India was complaining about a labor shortage?

I just looked it up, and Google says that India has 1.366 billion people.

How in the world can they have a labor shortage?

Most are illiterate, 5/6 of the remainder are wrong-caste and the rest are Pajeet’s cousins transplanted to America? Maybe USA importing all those workers might have left the homeland with fewer workers.

Why do all these Global Citizens look like plantation slaves?

Even deeply impoverished countries like Vietnam are experiencing a shortage of labor. The government recently had to call out the army to help with the rice harvest, and you can see photos of that right here.

It seems simple to me. Megacorps came to depend upon mass relocations of desperate people for profit margin optimization. Plandemic hysteria made mass relocations not happen so easily. The situation instantly became desperate because saving for a rainy day is a chump move. Megacorp must now enslave the locals! because otherwise, Megacorp might go out of business.

Also, methinks the peoples of the world have had about enough of globalization. It’s just a euphemism for dehumanization and exploitation. Our Elites ordering us to be literally faceless and permanently cease all human contact is… I can’t even. It’s cruel. It hurts.

Even the people who don’t rebel, will eventually burn out.

All over the planet, this sort of thing is happening. At this point, things are so bad that it is being reported that “the global food ecosystem is buckling due to a shortage of staff..

In all of recorded history, we have never seen a simultaneous labor shortage all over the globe.

Just a few years ago, we had way more people than we had jobs.

So where did all the people go? That is a question that all of us should be asking.

They were told to stop living. So they did. Meanwhile, their cultures were gutted by Globohomo and replaced with the Narrative that with enough surgery and drugs, men can give birth, too. People have nothing to live FOR. Then again, maybe the people didn’t go anywhere. Maybe it’s Globohomo ‘redefining the employment relationship’ to the next lower level… one that nobody would accept if they had a choice.

Needless to say, the past few years have turned all of our lives upside down. The way that national governments have responded to the COVID pandemic has definitely had far-reaching repercussions, and that will continue to be true for the foreseeable future.

No, no, no. TRANSnational governments have IMPLEMENTED the COVID pandemic. Try to keep up, dumbass. The stupid, it hurts!

Klaus Schwab: “We izz planning a Great Reset to ooo-sher in zee Global Empire of Satan.”

Pundit: “Heehee. What a kidder!”

*Great Reset happens. Event 201 followed by Event Coof. Schwab nods approvingly and proceeds to Event Cyber Polygon.*

Pundit: “Oh noes! Disaster! Who could possibly have predicted this! Black swan! Who will lead our multinational global corporations away from Christian concern for the welfare of people who don’t want to work in global-marketplace conditions?”

If the globe cannot handle the COVID pandemic, what in the world is going to happen when something far more serious comes along? You might want to start thinking about that, because things are only going to get crazier from this point forward.

You have no idea, Mr. Snyder, but we Christians do.

“Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.” James 5:4.

.And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over [the Whore Of Babylon], for no one buys their merchandise anymore: merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble; and cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and the bodies and souls of men.“ Revelation 18:11-13

Those container ships that can’t unload? Maybe the transnational cabal doesn’t want them to unload. Lack of goods to purchase could drive economic inflation and desperation. Oh look, the holiday shopping season is coming! I wonder if our politicians will try to Cancel Christmas again on the presumption that Christ Jesus is a disease… this time by banning gifts!

Those jobs that “nobody wants to work at”? Maybe the shredder ate all the applicants and Globocorp now has “no choice” but MOAR MIGRATION!!! or worse. It wouldn’t be the first time they did it. I was there the first time.

People are not refusing to work. They are insisting that they be treated like people, not interchangeable homo economicus, but megacorps are using the occasion to pre-justify the next step of the New World Order.

The flood of Haitians at Texas’ southern border has been a big deal lately. As always, my burning question is “who’s driving that migration bus?” While I didn’t find that answer today, I did find an explanation for Traitor Mayorkas’ curious decision to deport them back to Haiti: they’re the wrong kind of Haitian. The kind of Haitian that does not like Communism.

We know already that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas love Communism even more than he loves exterminating white people, as evidenced by Cubans fleeing Communism being the first group he threatened against trying to enter the United States. He won’t win if Commie-hating whites get replaced by Commie-hating browns; he’d just have a new enemy to fight, one with fewer scruples against Colombian neckties for crooked politicians.

Exclusive: U.S. border authorities warn of food insecurity in Haiti, as Mayorkas defends deportations

h ttps://www.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-us-border-authorities-warn-of-food-insecurity-in-haiti-as-mayorkas-defends-deportations-180835740.html

By Caitlin Dickson and Jana Winter, 28 September 2021

While the Biden administration has defended its decision to deport thousands to Haiti in recent days, internal government documents obtained by Yahoo News suggest U.S. immigration authorities are closely monitoring the bleak conditions to which Haitians expelled from the U.S. are being forced to return.

On Sunday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s office of intelligence highlighted concerns of widespread food insecurity in Haiti in its daily report on current and emerging threats.

Translation, Mayorkas’ allies are surprised by his unexpected decision to cooperate with the expulsion of Haitians and are throwing smoke in hopes that he will change his mind if he’s shown a good opportunity. The buzzword “food insecurity” is like Karl Marx’s fingerprint.

.On 24 September, Haitian authorities indicated about 4.3 million people are in a state of serious food insecurity,. reads the CBP bulletin, which was marked unclassified and “Law Enforcement Sensitive.” The alert cites an article from a Spanish-language news site reporting that, according to Haiti’s National Food Safety Coordination agency, .insecurity, poor production, natural disasters and inflation are the main drivers of current levels of severe food insecurity. on the island, while “gang violence has complicated the delivery of humanitarian response to the food crisis..

That sounds like every day in Haiti. Welcome to the jungle, we got fun and games…

The reports highlighted by CBP.s intelligence office seem to contradict public statements made by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who has defended recent deportations of Haitian migrants despite concerns about conditions in the country following the president’s assassination in July and a devastating earthquake in August.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, since Sept. 19 the U.S. has expelled approximately 3,900 individuals to Haiti on 37 flights.

.We have continued to study the conditions in Haiti, and we have in fact determined, despite the tragic and devastating earthquake, that Haiti is in fact capable of receiving individuals,. Mayorkas told reporters at the White House on Friday. “And we are working with Haiti and with humanitarian relief agencies to ensure that their return is as safe and humanely accomplished as possible..

Hmm, which is it? Is Haiti functional today or not? (Trick question. It never was.)

Back in May, Mayorkas designated Haiti for Temporary Protected Status, citing the country’s “serious security concerns, social unrest, an increase in human rights abuses, crippling poverty, and lack of basic resources, which are exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.. Under the new, 18-month designation, eligible Haitian nationals already living in the United States could apply for protected status, which would shield them from deportation “until conditions in Haiti improve so they may safely return home..

Two months later, Mayorkas expanded this designation to include Haitians who have continuously resided in the U.S. since July 29 of this year, .in light of recent events in Haiti, including the July assassination of President Jovenel Mo?se..

And now he’s sending them back home? Mayorkas suddenly doing his job is like a demon suddenly telling the truth… don’t drop your guard, instead do your homework twice.

While Mayorkas has acknowledged his earlier decision that Haitian nationals could not be sent back to the country safely, he insists that is no longer the case . even after the 7.2 magnitude earthquake that struck the country on Aug. 14, killing at least 2,200 people and leaving thousands more homeless.

Again, WHICH IS IT? If Haiti wasn’t safe before that last quake then it didn’t become safe afterward. Certainly not since its leader got vaxxed.

The key to this puzzle is that the Haitians at the Texas border didn’t come from Haiti.

They came from Chile.

Why Haitians are fleeing Chile for the U.S. border

h ttps://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/09/26/chile-haitian-border-migrants/

By John Bartlett, 26 September 2021

SANTIAGO, Chile . Along empty streets lined with shuttered businesses, there’s little sign of the bustle that just a few a years ago earned the neighborhood of Quilicura the nickname “Little Haiti..

Increasingly restrictive migration policies here, and a belief that the United States has grown more welcoming to immigrants under President Biden, have led a wave of Haitians to abandon the country they once saw as a land of opportunity.

.There’s hardly anyone left here now,. said 24-year-old Wilbert Pierre, pointing across the dusty road into the Tawtaw barbershop, where he is training to be a hairdresser. .Of all the people I’ve known in my four years in Chile, more than 100 have gone to the U.S. since March alone..

Tens of thousands of Haitians came to Chile, Brazil and other South American nations after the 2010 earthquake near Port-au-Prince that killed more than 220,000 people. Now feeling growing pressure here, thousands in recent months have traveled north. After spending months in southern Mexico, they began moving toward the U.S. border this month by the busload. An estimated 14,000 gathered at a camp in Del Rio, Tex.

And what was causing them to feel that migratory pressure?

The government has announced that on Oct. 17 it will close its “regularization” window for migrants, which had allowed anyone who entered Chile at an official border crossing before March 18, 2020, when the coronavirus arrived in the country, to gain legal status here.

But the process required applicants to show copies of their criminal records . a relatively simple procedure in most countries, but a long and costly one for Haitians living abroad. Many have given up on settling permanently.

Snicker. “Welcome Haitian refugees! Come as you are! Just bring a copy of your criminal record and if it’s clean, you’re good to go… yep, that’s all it took.”

.It.s often easier to buy bullets than food in Haiti,. [said Emmanuel Louis, a 36-year-old artist from Port-au-Prince]. .We were looking for somewhere safe to raise our son, so we came to Chile . the “oasis” of South America.

.But we found that although Chileans themselves are good people, the system is racist, classist and elitist..

Well, at least it wasn’t Venezuela.

Oh, wait.

A 2018 decree differentiated visas according to nationality. As Venezuela lurched deeper into political and economic chaos, Chilean President Sebasti?n Pi?era created a new visa specifically for Venezuelans.

So, the window for the Haitians to go local has closed and the country… newly Socialist, if I’ve read the news reports correctly… wait, are they? I remember they were regime-changing then Coof happened…

Segue

h ttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Chilean_Constitutional_Convention_election

An election for the members of the Constitutional Convention was held in Chile between 15 and 16 May 2021. This election was called after 78% of voters in the 2020 national plebiscite voted to write a new Constitution through this method.

After massive protests and riots sparked in October 2019, an agreement was reached on 15 November 2019 between several political parties to start the process to write a new Constitution… This election was originally scheduled for 25 October 2020, six months after the first referendum. However, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Chile… to 15 and 16 May 2021.

For the first time, 17 reserved seats were established for the 10 official indigenous groups.

That’s a red flag.

Also, different mechanisms in the inscription of candidates and the election system itself were designed to ensure gender parity in the Convention, being the first assembly of this kind in the world with equal representation of men and women.

That’s a red sucking chest wound. They might be Socialist but they’re certainly feminist, and by extension Globohomo whether they know it or not.

Although Chile Vamos, the governing alliance, was the most voted list in the country, it represented the lowest results in Chilean modern history for right-wing politics, not even reaching the third of members needed to veto in the Convention. The successor to Concertaci?n, the main centre-left alliance, finished in fourth place, being surpassed by the alliance made by the leftist Communist Party and the Broad Front. The List of the People, an anti-establishment list of independent candidates, finished in third place.

End segue

So, Chile is swinging hard-Left and what a surprise, they revamped their migration policies to favor Venezuelans in order to stack the deck.

Which means that all those Haitians fleeing Chile… are fleeing the Left.

And Mayorkas decided to give them the Cuban treatment.

The United States has deported thousands, not back to the South American nations they left but to Haiti, a country reeling from a presidential assassination and another earthquake on top of endemic poverty and gang violence.

I dug further because I could be wrong. Globalism is horrible… I need to have opinions about faraway places that I’d have trouble finding on a map, let alone comprehend how their problems are affecting my people, most of whom aren’t my people anyway. This article:

‘They yell ugly things’: Migrants in Chile’s north fearful after fiery protests

h ttps://www.reuters.com/world/americas/they-yell-ugly-things-migrants-chiles-north-fearful-after-fiery-protests-2021-09-27/

By Reuters, 27 September 2021

SANTIAGO, Sept 27 (Reuters) – Venezuelan migrants in Iquique in northern Chile have been shaken by a series of angry protests by locals against settler camps which have popped up in city squares and even beaches, a reflection of simmering tensions over migration in the region.

On the weekend thousands of local Chileans marched with anti-immigration slogans and set fire to belongings of Venezuelan migrants, tossing clothes and mattresses in bonfires in the street, after a camp was cleared by police on Friday.

“They yell at us, ‘Go back to your country. What are you doing here?’ They yell at us a lot of ugly things,” said Jaqueline Rojas, a Venezuelan in the city.

“It makes us sad, because the truth is that we are not all the same. There are some people who come to do bad things and others who come to look for work. I am going south to look for work, with my daughter and my brother.”

Despite pandemic restrictions, many migrants from Venezuela and elsewhere keep trying to reach Chile, one of the wealthiest countries in the region, which has been rocked in recent years by protests over entrenched inequality.

Then again, Globalism means we all face a single enemy. That preceding sounds so very, very familiar to this Californian. Maybe I DO have common ground with the Chileans.

Migration in Latin America has come under the spotlight recently, after large numbers of Haitian migrants, many whom had been living in Brazil and Chile, formed an large impromptu border camp at the Mexican-U.S. border.

In the coastal city of Iquique, more than 1,400 kilometers (870 miles) north of Santiago, hundreds of migrants had settled in tents in a city square last week, while deciding their final destination, often the country’s capital.

“This is better than being in Venezuela. Venezuela you have your home and everything you want, but you don’t have means to feed your children, dress them, or give them a good education,” Wendy Gonz?lez, leader of a makeshift camp, said last week.

In an operation on Friday, local police carried out evictions on the square. The Chilean government has been carrying out controversial expulsions of illegal immigrants in an attempt to discourage the arrival of new waves of families.

Juana Rodriguez, a Chilean resident in Iquique, said many locals felt anger over jobs and alleged that migrants to the country were simply asking for handouts.

Maybe USA and Chile share the same problem of a Socialist government that hates its people, and a people responding by rediscovering their inner nationalist. Which in turn explains why neither nation wants the burned-by-Socialists Haitians.

The science has been settled. The future is bright and smart and best of all, CERTAIN. All human frailties have been conquered by technology. The last few dissidents are being hunted to extinction by the unified forces of Unity. Atop the highest battlements of the Ivory Towers, the best minds of Scientific American magazine are now free to turn the guiding lights of their intellect to the Deep Questions of the Human Condition:

Why the Term “JEDI” Is Problematic for Describing Programs That Promote Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

They’re meant to be heroes within the Star Wars universe, but the Jedi are inappropriate symbols for justice work

h ttps://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-the-term-jedi-is-problematic-for-describing-programs-that-promote-justice-equity-diversity-and-inclusion/

By J. W. Hammond, Sara E. Brownell, Nita A. Kedharnath, Susan J. Cheng, W. Carson Byrd on September 23, 2021

The acronym “JEDI” has become a popular term for branding academic committees and labeling STEMM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine) initiatives focused on social justice issues. Used in this context, JEDI stands for .justice, equity, diversity and inclusion.” In recent years, this acronym has been employed by a growing number of prominent institutions and organizations, including the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. At first glance, JEDI may simply appear to be an elegant way to explicitly build “justice” into the more common formula of “DEI” (an abbreviation for .diversity, equity and inclusion.), productively shifting our ethical focus in the process.

DIE-versity didn’t catch on? Say it ain’t so.

STEMM ain’t gonna catch on, either. Like STEAM before it (A for art) Barbie keeps feeling left out of math class despite the fact that math is hard. The nerds and incels have finally chosen a hill to die on: no girls allowed in STEM!

JEDI has these important affordances but also inherits another notable set of meanings: It shares a name with the superheroic protagonists of the science fiction Star Wars franchise, the .Jedi.” Within the narrative world of Star Wars, to be a member of the Jedi is seemingly to be a paragon of goodness, a principled guardian of order and protector of the innocent. This set of pop cultural associations is one that some JEDI initiatives and advocates explicitly allude to.

Whether intentionally or not, the labels we choose for our justice-oriented initiatives open them up to a broader universe of associations, branding them with meaning.and, in the case of JEDI, binding them to consumer brands. Through its connections to Star Wars, the name JEDI can inadvertently associate our justice work with stories and stereotypes that are a galaxy far, far away from the values of justice, equity, diversity and inclusion.

Social Justice Warriors want to fantasize about themselves as heroic saviors of a unified, inclusive and tolerant Empire despite the handicap of them being fat, slow, possibly asthmatic and too weak to use a sword even when its weight has been reduced to just the hilt. Those convention cosplayers have finally grown up! (As much as they’re gonna.)

Oh, wait. I just described the stormtroopers. Learn to aim or learn to code!

The question we must ask is whether the conversations started by these connections are the ones that we want to have.

The question I asked is, can this article be for real? It’s an older URL but it checks out.

As we will argue, our justice-oriented projects should approach connections to the Jedi and Star Wars with great caution, and perhaps even avoid the acronym JEDI entirely. Below, we outline five reasons why.

The Jedi are inappropriate mascots for social justice. Although they’re ostensibly heroes within the Star Wars universe, the Jedi are inappropriate symbols for justice work. They are a religious order of intergalactic police-monks, prone to (white) saviorism and toxically masculine approaches to conflict resolution (violent duels with phallic lightsabers, gaslighting by means of “Jedi mind tricks,. etc.). The Jedi are also an exclusionary cult, membership to which is partly predicated on the possession of heightened psychic and physical abilities (or .Force-sensitivity.). Strikingly, Force-wielding talents are narratively explained in Star Wars not merely in spiritual terms but also in ableist and eugenic ones: These supernatural powers are naturalized as biological, hereditary attributes. So it is that Force potential is framed as a dynastic property of noble bloodlines (for example, the Skywalker dynasty), and Force disparities are rendered innate physical properties, measurable via .midi-chlorian. counts (not unlike a “Force genetics” test) and augmentable via human(oid) engineering. The heroic Jedi are thus emblems for a host of dangerously reactionary values and assumptions. Sending the message that justice work is akin to cosplay is bad enough; dressing up our initiatives in the symbolic garb of the Jedi is worse.

This caution about JEDI can be generalized: We must be intentional about how we name our work and mindful of the associations any name may bring up.perhaps particularly when such names double as existing words with complex histories.

Translation: we cannot add Justice to Equality, Diversity and Inclusiveness because that would make us JEDI who were male-privileged warrior monks who excluded people if they couldn’t use the Force.

We didn’t really want justice anyway.

Star Wars has a problematic cultural legacy. The space opera franchise has been critiqued for trafficking in injustices such as sexism, racism and ableism. Think, for example, of the so-called “Slave Leia” costume, infamous for stripping down and chaining up the movie series. first leading woman as part of an Orientalist subplot.

Now they’re stealing Jackie Chan’s privilege.

Star Wars arguably conflates “alienness” with .nonwhiteness,. often seeming to rely on racist stereotypes when depicting nonhuman species. The series regularly defaults onto ableist tropes, memorably in its portrayal of Darth Vader, which links the villain’s physical disability with machinic inhumanity and moral deviance, presenting his technology-assisted breathing as a sinister auditory marker of danger and doom.

But but but it was a VENTILATOR! Maybe he had Long Covid! He also inhaled lava after getting his legs cut off but you don’t know it wasn’t Covid that messed up his lungs!

What.s more, the bodies and voices centered in Star Wars have, with few exceptions, historically been those of white men. And while recent films have increased gender and racial diversity, important questions remain regarding how meaningfully such changes represent a departure from the series. problematic past. Indeed, a notable segment of the Star Wars fandom has aggressively advocated the (re)centering of white men in the franchise, with some equating recent casting decisions with “white genocide.. Additionally, the franchise’s cultural footprint can be tracked in the saga of United States military-industrial investment and expansion, from debates around Reagan’s “Star Wars. Strategic Defense Initiative to the planned Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (another “JEDI” program), sometimes winkingly framed with Star Wars allusions. Taken together, the controversies surrounding Star Wars make JEDI at best an inappropriate way to brand justice work.a kind of double-edged sword (or better yet, double-bladed .lightsaber.). At worst, this way of branding our initiatives is freighted with the very violence that our justice work seeks to counter.

When we consider the relationship of JEDI to Star Wars and its fraught cultural legacy, a more general caution comes into view: When we label our initiatives, we must be careful about the universe of narratives and symbols within which we situate our work.and the cultural associations and meanings that our projects may take on, as a result.

JEDI connects justice initiatives to corporate capital. JEDI/Jedi is more than just a name: It’s a product. Circulating that product’s name can promote and benefit the corporation that owns it, even if we do not mean to do so. We are, in effect, providing that corporation.Disney.with a form of free advertising, commodifying and cheapening our justice work in the process. Such informal co-branding entangles our initiatives in Disney’s morally messy past and present. It may also serve to rebrand and whitewash Disney by linking one of its signature product lines to social justice. After all, Disney has a long and troubling history of circulating racist, sexist, heterosexist and Orientalist narratives…

Somebody is butthurt about Disney’s friendliness with the Chinese market.

…and imagery, which the corporation and its subsidiaries (like Pixar) are publicly reckoning with.

Ah, that explains the butthurt. Somebody was Pixar before the devil mouse came along.

Furthermore, Disney is an overtly political entity, critiqued not only for its labor practices but also for its political donations and lobbying. Joining forces with Disney’s multimedia empire is thus a dangerous co-branding strategy for justice advocates and activists. This form of inadvertent woke-washing extracts ethical currency from so-called “JEDI” work, robbing from its moral reserves to further enrich corporate capital.

That’s what soulless corporations do. Remember when Cthulhu promised to eat you last? It lied.

A broader lesson can be learned here: When we brand our initiatives, it pays to be mindful about whether the names we endorse double as products in a culture industry. We must be careful about the company we keep.and the companies that our initiatives help to keep in business.

Aligning justice work with Star Wars risks threatening inclusion and sense of belonging. While an overarching goal of JEDI initiatives is to promote inclusion, the term JEDI might make people feel excluded. Star Wars is popular but divisive. Identifying our initiatives with it may nudge them closer to the realm of fandom, manufacturing in-groups and out-groups. Those unfamiliar or uncomfortable with Star Wars??.including those hurt by the messages it sends.may feel alienated by the parade of jokes, puns and references surrounding the term JEDI. Consider, as one example, its gender exclusionary potential. Studies suggest that the presence of Star Wars and Star Trek memorabilia (such as posters) in computer science classrooms can reinforce masculinist stereotypes about computer science.contributing to women’s sense that they don’t belong in that field.

I agree that R2-D2 was not a canned Trigglypuff… but aren’t you assuming its gender?

[I would post a picture of R2’s ‘probe’ here but I don’t want to sexualize my trash can.]

Relatedly, research indicates that even for self-identified female fans of Star Wars, a sense of belonging within that fandom can be experienced as highly conditional, contingent on performances “proving” their conformity to the preexisting gendered norms of dominant fan culture.

Translation, your daughter WANTS to be a slave princess for Halloween. At age 20. At the community college frat party. And there’s nothing you can do about it because you empowered her.

At a moment when many professional sectors, including higher education, are seeking to eliminate barriers to inclusion.and to change the narrative about who counts as a scientist, political scientist, STEMM professional or historian.adopting the term JEDI seems like an ironic move backward.

However we feel about JEDI, a more general insight to apply to our work is this:

It’s better to be a victim than a hero?

How we brand an initiative can shape perceptions and feelings about that initiative.and about who belongs in it. The abbreviation JEDI can distract from justice, equity, diversity and inclusion. When you think about the word JEDI, what comes to mind?

Chances are good that for many, the immediate answer isn’t the concept “justice” (or its comrades .equity,. “diversity” and .inclusion.). Instead this acronym likely conjures a pageant of spaceships, lightsabers and blaster-wielding stormtroopers.

Yeah, baby! You efforts to Converge our fandom have failed!

Even if we set aside the four cautions above, the acronym JEDI still evokes imagery that diverts attention away from the meanings of justice, equity, diversity and inclusion. Such distraction exacerbates existing problems and challenges endemic to institutional justice work. For instance, it is already the case that in institutional contexts, terms like .justice,. .equity,. “diversity” and “inclusion” are routinely underdefined or conflated, robbed of their specificities and differences. These terms and related abbreviations like DEI can thus come to be treated as institutional buzzwords that are more slogan than substance, signaling commitments that institutions fail to meaningfully honor. We must be more attentive to the meanings and particularities of our words, not less. JEDI does not help us with this. Now is not the time to confuse social justice with science fiction.

Ohmigawd… we won? Seriously? DOES THIS ARTICLE MEAN GAMERGATE WON?! ALL UR STAR WARS FAN BASE R BELONG TO *US*, JABBA-HUMPERS!!!

Importantly, the acronym JEDI represents an extreme variant of a more general challenge associated with abbreviations: Acronyms are useful for quickly and concisely representing dense concepts, but there is a thin line between indexing ideas and rendering them invisible.and we must be careful to not lose sight of what our abbreviations stand for.

Put simply, the baggage of Jedi and Star Wars is too heavy to burden our justice-oriented initiatives with and may actually undermine these efforts.

WE… FREAKING… WON!!!!!!

Go suck a lightsaber, Kathleen Kennedy!

If we feel that we need to have an abbreviation for labeling our commitments to diversity (D), equity (E), inclusion (I) and justice (J), several alternatives are already available to us, including the abbreviations “DEIJ” and .dije.” The additional dangers and distractions imposed by the label JEDI are an unnecessary encumbrance that can strain and stain even our most well-intentioned initiatives.

That’s right… give up… go DEI in obscurity…

If you are, like some of the authors of this piece, a longtime fan of Star Wars (or Disney) and have found yourself defensively bristling while reading the paragraphs above, take a moment to consider that response. We suggest that such a reaction reveals how easily Star Wars and JEDI can introduce distractions and confuse conversations. How ready are we to prioritize the cultural dreamscape of the Jedi over the real-world project of social justice? Investing in the term JEDI positions us to apologize for, or explain away, the stereotypes and politics associated with Star Wars and Disney. How eager are we to fight Star Wars. battles, when that time and energy could be better spent fighting for social justice?

It.s worth remembering and reflecting on the fact that the first Star Wars film opens by telling viewers that its sci-fi story lines take place not in an alternative present or potential future but during a period that transpired .a long time ago… It should give us pause if we are anchoring our ambitions for a more socially just future in fantasies so dated that they were, at the time of their creation, already the distant past.

This is an opinion and analysis article; the views expressed by the author or authors are not necessarily those of Scientific American.

Well, it’s not like Disney can afford (literally) to admit defeat. But neither can they make money off Star Wars without following Scientific American’s lead and confessing defeat, so this particular mop-up operation will handle itself.

Take a bow, ye nerds who have kept the True Faith! We’ve made Star Wars so toxic to the Woke that they’d rather D.I.E.

You aren’t seeing any miracles or spiritual leadership but rest assured, God is very much involved with modern affairs. For example, Sodom’s ruins being discovered and consistent with the Biblical account make the headlines at the same time, coincidentally, as Globohomo making its final push to “jab or die”. Globohomo advocates immediately change the topic!

Forget the Meteor. We Should Be Talking About Biblical Rape Culture in the Sodom Story.

h ttps://www.thedailybeast.com/sodoms-tragic-story-isnt-the-meteor-its-the-biblical-rape-culture

By Candida Moss, 26 September 2021

Heehee, rarely has “the Daily BEAST” been so true to its name. “We just found the meteor… so forget the meteor already! It doesn’t mean what it looks like!”

If the hand of God were to reach out and smite people, then it might look a lot like a meteor. Or at least if a meteor was to smite the earth, then people might think that it was the hand of God.

Especially if it arrived on schedule to smite a people infamous for their abominable perversions.

This is the argument of a paper published this week in the prestigious science journal Nature. Studying the effects of a meteor that devastated part of Jordan valley some 3,600 years ago, the authors suggest that it was this cosmic event that gave rise to the Sodom and Gomorrah story.

As wakeup calls go, this is somewhere between “air raid siren” and “preview”. Life is getting Biblical, folks. You might not have time to get full value for that worldly Ticket.

The excavations in question took place at Tall el-Hammam, the largest archaeological site in the Jordan Valley. The site was unearthed as workers quarried for gravel and has been excavated ever since by a joint team from Trinity Southwest University and the Department of Antiquities of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. What the team discovered was that while the region was continuously inhabited for two and a half millennia, 3,600 years ago it was suddenly destroyed.

What happened there can be deduced from material evidence. Archaeologist Christopher Moore, one of the authors of the study, writes: “Air temperatures rapidly rose above 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit… Clothing and wood immediately burst into flames. Swords, spears, mudbricks and pottery began to melt. Almost immediately, the entire city was on fire…Some seconds later, a massive shockwave smashed into the city… deadly winds ripped through the city, demolishing every building… None of the 8,000 people or any animals within the city survived—their bodies were torn apart and their bones blasted into small fragments.”

Those lucky bastards. The modern crop of perverts won’t be allowed to die. I theorize that Sodom’s Sodomites didn’t mock God for many years by coopting the rainbow.

The extreme temperatures that melted pottery, mudbricks, and metal could not have been caused by war or even a volcano.

As described by Scripture.

Instead, the archaeologists argue, the area was leveled by a small asteroid, similar in size to the one that devastated Tunguska, Russia in 1908. The asteroid would either have impacted the area or detonated in the air (an airburst). The smoking gun for the theory is the presence of microscopic diamonoids in the destruction layer. These could only have been caused by the extreme pressure and heat of an extraterrestrial fireball. The scientific evidence for the destruction of the area by an asteroid impact or airburst is conclusive.

As described by Scripture.

The archaeologists go on to suggest that the memory of the asteroid’s devastation is preserved in the pages of history’s most famous book: the Bible. As most Sunday school attendees know, the book of Genesis describes the destruction of two legendary Dead Sea region urban settlements, Sodom and Gomorrah. The cities had a reputation for wickedness. According to the Bible “the outcry against them before the Lord has become so great,” that God sent two angels to destroy them. Upon arrival, the angels were planning to spend the night in the city square, but Lot, the nephew of Abraham, takes an interest in them and welcomes them into his house as guests.

As described by… ah, they beat me to it.

The city’s residents are curious, they crowd around Lot’s door and demand that he hand the disguised angels over so that they can “know” (i.e. rape) them. God blinds the would-be attackers, so they are unable to storm Lot’s house. The following morning and at the instruction of the angels, Lot and his extended family make a quick exit and “Sulphur and fire” rain down on the two cities. Sodom and Gomorroah are destroyed. Centuries of interpretation have understood the story to be a narrative about God’s condemnation of homosexuality.

Though it’s unclear why the angels needed to visit the city in person to exercise a surgical celestial attack, fire from heaven does sound like a layperson’s description of a meteor. The new study proposes that “an eyewitness description of this 3,600-year-old catastrophic event” may have been passed down in oral tradition and was eventually inscribed into biblical history.

The documented reason the angels visited was to evacuate the faithful… one dude and his chattel.

For those who want their Bible and science to align, this would seem like a win. In this reading, the Biblical authors didn’t invent this story. Instead, Genesis contains an eyewitness report of geological events that were passed down from generation to generation. For those hoping that the asteroid explanation deals a fatal blow to homophobic readings of the story, I am sorry to disappoint. Theologically speaking, it is perfectly possibly for God to work through nature, even natural disasters. God may be supernatural but that doesn’t mean (for Christians at least) that God must act outside of nature.

Take the hint… take the flaming hot celestial hint… leave your life of depravities… signed, Christ Jesus your would-be-Savior.

The real problem with traditional readings of the Sodom and Gomorrah story is that it misses the point of the whole story and obscures the variety of forms of sexual violence that make cameos in the account.

Are you fracking kidding me? “Modern archaeology proves the Biblical account of Sodom’s destruction… but the real story is WOMEN MOST AFFECTED!”

Oh, that’s right. Did the archaeologists yet find a pillar of salt shaped like a bitch?

The exchange between Lot and the inhabitants is darker than the traditional reading admits. In Genesis, Lot’s concern is that the locals are treating two strangers poorly; by threatening the angels they are breaking the cultural norms that governed hospitality and the treatment of outsiders. This was a grave social crime.

This is the standard Narrative narrative of Sodom. The problem wasn’t a crowd of homosexual child molesters calling for the defilement of fresh meat… that never happens…

[NSFW warning, this link is to the Sodom Fransico’s Gay Men choir]

h ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqPI310fy44

…the real story of Sodom is that people were mean to migrants!

Oops, wait, cancel-culture that!! The REAL real story of Sodom is that Lot used his daughters like property!

Lot’s response to their conduct is to offer the mob his two virgin daughters to abuse instead. He feels empowered to do this because they are his daughters and, thus, according to the ancient view, his property. There’s no judgment in the story about Lot’s proposal to pimp out his children. Three millennia of interpretation has breezed past the violence of Lot’s solution in order to focus on homosexuality.

This strongly suggests that three millennia of humanity disagrees with feminist Candida Moss. Either three millennia of humanity were defective, or one overpaid shrike at the Daily Beast is defective. Hmm.

I should hope that my readers are… what’s the word… astute, wise, consistent, NORMAL???… enough to understand that not everything that the heroes of the Bible did, was a good idea. Hence the Biblical notion that everybody needs a Savior.

That the crowd declines his offer of the girls and threatens to rape Lot instead does not make this a story about homosexuality, it only confirms that this is a story about sexual violence and power.

HOMOsexual violence and power. “Would you rather put your dick in a chick?” “Bugger the beggars! Bugger the beggars!”

The people of the city are eventually punished but the Levite and Lot aren’t condemned for their cowardly willingness to sacrifice vulnerable women to protect themselves. Nor is violence against women enshrined in interpretive tradition as a crime against God. As Jennifer Barry, an associate professor at the University of Mary Washington and expert in the history of sexual violence told me, “in stories like Sodom and Gomorrah and Judges 19, the sexual violence preserved in the text focuses on the protection of men, while casually handing over women (some of whom are never heard from again).”

I’d love to hear Moss discuss the subsequent female empowerment of Lot’s daughters. Where did they get that idea? Surely not from Lot, so maybe from the culture of Sodom?

Lot survived but for hundreds of generations, he’s been nobody’s idea of a success story.

Scientific explanations for the destruction of the city certainly don’t solve the ethical problems that surround sexual violence in the Bible, but we might wonder if they are necessary at all. Jon Marks, a professor of anthropology at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte, told The Daily Beast that “The archaeology [in this study] is great, but trying to link up random possibly real events with ancient stories is a pretty silly expenditure of mental energy.”

I find your lack of curiosity about the Bible maybe being correct disturbing.

If the writers of the Bible had thought that Sodom and Gomorrah were devastated by space debris rather than divine punishment, the story would not be in the Bible. It’s precisely because of the ethically problematic reading of divine judgment that it’s in the text to begin with.

Having given due notice, Father God now has every entitlement to proceed with the Apocalypse.

Some people just don’t understand the purpose of social media. Then again, maybe they do and I’m being unrealistic in my refusal to be mind-controlled.

FaithMeet, social media platform with solely Christian content, will launch in 2022

h ttps://www.christianpost.com/news/christian-social-media-platform-faithmeet-to-launch-in-2022.html

By Nicole Alcindor, 23 September 2021

Right off the bat, they’re implicitly promising to gatekeep and content-police. That’s fine for a specific-topic forum but the point of social media is being SOCIAL, not topical.

Which raises the question, why not do Christian content on existing social media sites? Aside from the facts that they hate us, want us dead and are already unpersoning us. I have a gold star waiting for FaithMeet if any of those reasons are its motivation for existence.

The creator and founder of the FaithMeet platform, Godwin Rose Samuel, told The Christian Post that although platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter provide some Christian content, it’s often not enough.

He created FaithMeet in 2021 as a way to give Christians access to a virtual space for only faith-based, Christian content without any “secular distractions.”

He actually said “faith-based”? Who is this Godwin guy?

*nothing in a Duckduckgo search*

*pulls up faithmeet.co* No bio. This is a Kickstarter project by a company incorporated in Delaware? Rovinsa Corp… where did that name come from?

*digs deeper* He’s from Singapore… uh-oh…

Hosanna: Christian social networking app

h ttps://www.kicktraq.com/projects/godwingrs22/hosanna-christian-social-networking-app/

A social networking and management app made exclusively for Christian’s. It help you to connect digitally with your church
Software
Backers: 1

Funded: $2 of $10,000
Dates: Nov 28th -> Jan 12th (45 days)
Project By: Godwin Rose Samuel W

This is Godwin’s second effort at a Christian networking site. The first was a total failure but this FaithMeet effort is much more sophisticated. Which suggests that an unknown third party is assisting his second effort… without wanting to be identified.

Not a good sign, for a religion that preaches truth and the inevitable exposure of all secrets.

End segue

Anyway, no gold star for FaithMeet. The reason we Christians need a new social media platform is NOT to “avoid distractions”.

“Christians have to spend long amounts of time sifting through other non-Christian and secular content to find the Christian content on these other apps,” Samuel said.

Try a search engine or website aggregator. They’re awesome.

“The Christian content is often not even God-centered because it distracts from the focus of the Jesus-focused gospels. Whenever I would search social media apps for Christian content, it was always a struggle to find quality content. So, I created my app that will contain mostly everything that these other apps have, but it will be diluted in faith, which I think will help Christians to focus on God more.”

It won’t end well for Samuel if I bring out the Buzzword Bingo card. We’re already at two: ‘find quality content’ and ‘faith-based’. Thanks to the Southern Baptists’ Russell Moore, I’m also tempted to add “Gospel focus”.

Samuel said that although he made the platform with Christians in mind, he hopes it will be a platform for non-Christians to be introduced to Christianity.

On FaithMeet, Christians and people of all faith backgrounds will be able to post about Christianity and will have access to Christian-based posts, pictures, videos, music and worship content.

MORON! No non-Christian is going to sign up for an exclusively Christian social media app in order to be introduced to Christianity. Which is it, Christian-exclusive or Great Commission?

At what point do Christians get to promote beyond the basics of Christ’s teachings, and the associated baby-talk metaphors, into something a little more mature? “Jesus loves you, let me pray for you”, that’s a great start, but once you’re strong enough to pick up your Cross and carry it though the jeering crowds, your spiritual needs aren’t forgiveness and salvation anymore.

We are in a religious war, if you haven’t noticed, Samuel. Is your FaithMeet useful for that purpose?

Christians will have the ability to give donations, offerings and tithes to ministries and various churches of their choice. There will also be a chatting feature to allow people to communicate with one another on the platform and spread the Word of God.

You can donate money and share prayer requests! Just like my preexisting competitors allow you to! Just like the real churches that you aren’t allow to attend anymore, you dirtbag unvaxxed superspreaders! Let me make you comfortable in your police-state lockdowns!

This is what we Christians need in a social media platform:

1. Anonymity, so we aren’t hunted down by Christ-hating authorities from China to Australia.
2. Secure payment processing, in preparation for when the banking authorities lock us out of the marketplace.
3. Facilitate meatspace networking, bartering and medical/professional services. How to do this anonymously is difficult and worth the cost of a social media service.

What we DON’T need is…

“I wanted to live out the faith by creating this social networking platform. I wanted to inspire those who don’t know the Lord while even helping those who are already Christians to keep their eyes on the Lord and not on lusting and coveting over secular content,” Samuel added.

“Other non-Christian content always pops up on these other apps. And currently, we are combining Facebook, YouTube and Instagram because we have posts, videos and pictures. So now, people don’t have to go to these other platforms. It’s all in one place.”

…Facebook with a porn filter…

FaithMeet will have a set of community standards and guidelines that aim to keep all content “appropriate” and “God-centered,” according to Samuel.

…AND TWICE THE CANCEL CULTURE! “Community standards and guidelines”, are you fucking kidding me?!

A team will monitor content and remove any posts deemed “inappropriate” or “non-Christian.”

Bingo!

In an entertainingly disturbing preview of America’s Civil War 2, the Bidenreich has decided to embrace Chinese surveillance tech.

Scoop: U.S. government buying risky Chinese drones

h ttps://www.axios.com/federal-law-enforcement-china-drone-4b33aca2-b6f5-43d0-8d36-be1d447af1a0.html

By Lachlan Markay, 22 September 2021

Federal law enforcement agencies are purchasing surveillance drones from a Chinese company the Pentagon has deemed a potential national security threat, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: Efforts to purge military and law enforcement agencies of potentially compromised Chinese technology have stalled amid bureaucratic red tape, and experts worry the federal government is needlessly exposing itself to snooping by malicious foreign actors.

I suppose an all-Chinese-American Presidential Detail would have been too much to get away with.

But that’s exactly the point of what the Bidenreich is doing. They aren’t stupid, Potato Joe not counting…

…therefore, what they are doing MUST be avoiding the greater threat. Logically, at least.

Driving the news: The U.S. Secret Service is the latest to purchase surveillance drones from the Shenzhen-based company DJI, which dominates the commercial drone market in the U.S. and abroad.

The Secret Service bought eight DJI drones on July 26, according to procurement records obtained by the industry publication IPVM and shared with Axios.

That was three days after the Defense Department released a statement saying DJI products “pose potential threats to national security.”

The FBI bought 19 DJI drones a few days earlier, records show.

This ties in perfectly with my theory that the Afghanistan pullout was Bidenreich sabotaging the mil-MIC. The latter has many excellent drone systems to offer… that’s where China got their designs… so this is a blatant snub against the neocons.

Which means the FBI and CIA aren’t friends? That would be an interesting shadow war.

The context: DJI makes an array of consumer products that are tremendously popular, including the Phantom and Mavic drone series, as well as the Osmo image-stabilization handle.

While the products are used for personal and commercial purposes, they also require the user to download proprietary DJI software, and to fly using mapping databases that have the potential to be monitored remotely.

Security concerns surrounding these products are longstanding, but DJI insists all such concerns are unfounded and based on misunderstanding or misrepresentation of its technology.

If you can’t trust a Chinese spy taking money from in the Bidenreich then you just can’t trust anybody.

I’m already hanging out on that street corner.

In 2017, the Department of Homeland Security — the Secret Service’s parent agency — stated with “moderate confidence” that DJI was “providing U.S. critical infrastructure and law enforcement data to the Chinese government.”

Just like every American manufacturing company has since China got permanent Normal Trade Relations status in the last year of the Slick Willie Clinton Presidency. The fact that the Secret Service prefers to be spied upon by China than by Lockheed Martin says much about the current state of inner-circle affairs.

Post-script, something interesting when I refreshed my memory on China getting PNTR status. Per wikipedia, the strongest effort to repeal that obviously-bribed trade status was led by Bernie Sanders in 2005, with 61 co-sponsors.

Rep. Sanders said to the house, “anyone who takes an objective look at our trade policy with China must conclude that is an absolute failure and needs to be fundamentally overhauled”.

I miss the 80s for all kinds of reasons. Even the 90s, because that was when you could discuss advanced theology such as “does Heaven exist?” or “the Dead Sea Scrolls”. These days, a Christian theologian’s time is occupied primarily by explaining that men and women are different. It gets old.

But rarely boring.

After failed stint as pastor’s wife, Nadia Hilton returns to porn as a ‘Christian’

h ttps://www.christianpost.com/news/nadia-hilton-returns-to-porn-as-a-christian.html

By Leonardo Blair, 21 September 2021

The title is misleading. She was the co-pastor… because men and women aren’t different at all!

Crystal DiGregorio, popularly known by her stage name Nadia Hilton, has resurrected her X-rated career on the online subscription service OnlyFans after an unsuccessful stint as a pastor’s wife.

DiGregorio, now 37, previously appeared in 100 pornographic films over some 10 years before giving her life to God in 2014 and marrying Fulton, New York, Pentecostal minister Rev. David Bassette in 2015, Syracuse.com reported.

Is that what repentance looks like? I’m not feeling it.

Segue to the wedding announcement!

h ttps://whitebiocentrism.com/viewtopic.php?t=1673

By J.P. Smith, 1 January 2015

Rev. David Bassette, a Pentecostal minister in Fulton, N.Y., and porno actress Crystal DiGregorio
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Crystal DiGregorio and Dave Bassette fell in love at church.

It sounds almost cliche, but theirs is a union no one — including them — would have expected. The Oswego woman is a former adult movie actress. He is a Pentecostal minister in Fulton.

That IS a cliche.

“I never saw myself going this extreme,” said DiGregorio, who now works as a paralegal and only wear skirts that go past her knees. “But God leads you in these directions.”

DiGregorio, 30, went by the name Nadia Hilton in her movies. She made her last film in June. She’s done with the x-rated movies forever now, she said.

DiGregorio and Bassette starting dating in August.

She turned 30, quit porn work in June and was dating a pastor’s kid by August? The smart money says she got knocked up and this time, didn’t want an abortion.

She had started going to church at Oswego River of Life, where Bassette’s father is the minister. DiGregorio noticed Bassette when he came there to perform some baptisms over the summer. But she didn’t think of dating him.

Bassette, 23, was young for her.

He grew up in a very sheltered environment. Presumably raised ignorant of female sexuality… Sexually inexperienced at peak horniness… I cannot believe that she “just happened” to find him.

Enter Jessica Reynolds, DiGregorio’s sister. She’s been friends with Bassette for years, he said, and thought the two of them would hit it off. Bassette said she didn’t tell the two of them she was setting them up. Instead, she just invited them both to a card game without telling the other.

The chemistry was instant. They started dating immediately. And she started attending his smaller church: Pentecostals of Fulton.

She seduced him and he thought with his little head. I can’t prove it but tell me I’m wrong.

There has been anecdotal evidence bouncing around in the Manosphere, that some feral women target Godly men to discredit and sabotage. This is yet another data point in that direction. I won’t tell you how to vet for a wife but I will tell you that a single-mother veteran of the hardcore-porn movie industry who kept her Christ-hating friends after discovering Jesus and is a recovering alcoholic with a recent DUI crash, who (spoiler) was once worth 100 times more than your probable lifetime earnings, is not the Heavenly match you’re looking for.

Bassette said he loves that DiGregorio decided to change her life not for him, but for herself and for God.

He couldn’t possibly have been that stupid… I hate my species and I hate useless pastors who are so ignorant of evil that they cannot protect their own sons. “The good shepherd doesn’t know that some wolves are female. The good shepherd is NICE!”

Meanwhile, according to CBN News, at her peak she was making $30,000 per month and owned a $10M residence in Malibu. “God saved her from porn” when she filed for bankruptcy… and found Twu Wuv within a month!

DiGregorio had already left the adult movie business and stopped drinking when they met.

She said she had a life-changing moment when she crashed her car while driving drunk in March. A friend was supposed to drive, but was too drunk, so DiGregorio got behind the wheel. She crashed the car and broke her nose.

“I haven’t had a drink since that date,” she said. “It was a wake-up call for me.”

A wake-up call that being the designated driver means “don’t get hammered”?

Bassette impressed DiGregorio because he was good, kind and hard-working. Aside from being a minister, he also works at Time-Warner cable. But the thing that topped her list: “He loves my kids. He’s really good to my kids.”

She has two sons, 5 and 14.

She was ALREADY a single mother, too?

Bassette said he doesn’t worry much about DiGregorio’s past.

“If Christ left it there, who am I to bring it out,” Bassette said. “My past isn’t that great, either.”

This is what happens when the young men of the Church have their egos crushed out of all proportion to Scriptural teachings. Yes, we all need a Savior; but young man, you deserve WAY BETTER than a skank-whore baby momma strung-out drug addict for a wife.

You deserve a virgin who likes you, not a used battleaxe demanding that her bastards come first in your marriage.

He said their love is a little like Shakepeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Some of her friends don’t like him because they think she’s being brainwashed. Some of his friends don’t like her because of her past.

Neither of them care.

Bassette had good friends that he didn’t listen to, just as original Adam had God as a friend… that he didn’t listen to. Meanwhile, she had Christ-haters for friends to set her up. Just as original Eve did?

On Oct. 11, before heading home, Bassette dropped down on one knee and pulled a box out of his pocket. He cracked it open, showing a diamond ring surrounded by pink stones and asked DiGregorio to marry him.

“I cried,” DiGregorio said. And then she said yes.

They’re getting married Jan. 10, 2015, where they first met at his father’s church in Oswego. Bassette’s church in Fulton isn’t quite big enough for the 400 people they’re planning to invite.

BRIDEZILLA ALERT! BRIDEZILLA ALERT! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

For the biblical justification of this type of retardation: Hosea married the prostitute Gomer

End segue

She and her then-husband, who is now 30, both led New Beginnings Christian Life Church.

If I ever found a new church, I might call it something like Jilted Lover Christian Church or Chapel of Consequences. Truth in advertising, yo. And shouldn’t there be a “Second Baptist Church” by now?

Officials at the church could not be reached for comment by The Christian Post on Monday. But DiGregorio, who is now divorced and remarried with a newborn…

The classic baby trap.

…revealed in a recent interview with “Brand New Me,” an international YouTube series… that her life in the church was “extremely difficult.”

“After porn, I did a 180 and became a Christian, and now, I just want to be me. Doing OnlyFans as a Christian, I know I’m going to have criticism. People are already telling me that I’m going to Hell, but the way I look at it is this — nobody in this world can send me to Hell, nobody. Only God can,” she said.

At this point, I feel safe saying that DiGregorio is damned and Unforgiveable. It’s not a line that you can cross by accident or in a moment of weakness. She made the cold, calculated choice to spit on Christ’s salvation.

“My experience as a pastor was extremely difficult. I have a lot of respect for pastors and the stuff they go through after going through it myself. They judge you by everything. God forbid a pastor has a drink of wine or any alcoholic beverage, anything because you’re definitely going to Hell for that.”

Projection here. No way was this longtime alcoholic judged for “a drink of wine” while being the boss.

“When I was in church, it was girls can’t wear pants. You have to wear skirts. You can’t wear make-up. You can’t dye your hair. You can’t cut your hair. God forbid you show any cleavage. You’re going to Hell for all those things. So, I literally went from one extreme to the next,” she added.

More projection. “They didn’t let me show ANY skin!” said the woman who went on to say…

“The way I look at posting adult content is God brought me into this world naked,” she said. “Posting pictures naked, I don’t think is this huge crime or this big sin.”

Since her divorce from Bassette, DiGregorio has found a new husband, identified in the truly interview as “Andrew.” He runs her OnlyFans account.

This ride’s not over yet? How is this ride not over yet? She’s pushing 40, had a bunch of kids and is more used than a Porta-potty at Burning Man… and ANOTHER Captain Save-a-Ho came along? To run her X-rated Christian video ministry on OnlyFans?

She’s not even making money at OF. She can’t be. The pics of her in this linked article… she hit through the Wall and road-rashed her way to a Final Stop.

“When Crystal mentioned the OnlyFans, at first I didn’t take it serious,” Andrew said. “She just mentioned it quick. And when she mentioned it again, I told her, ‘I’m not here to control you.’ I want you to do what makes you happy, as long as it doesn’t break up our marriage. … I told her I support her 100%.”

Original. Fracking. Sin.

“I think for me, my life was totally different,” she said. “I was abused while I was a kid, went through some seriously bad things. So my attention and everything that I needed went into that direction.”

I mostly don’t care about the calls for parallel institutions that go around the Manosphere. Yes, we need them; no, we aren’t going to get them. What we truly need are fathers who can recognize evil and are in a position to protect and raise their children… and the wicked brought to wicked ends. Until then, it doesn’t matter what we build.

The signs were there. Been there for decades, in many cases. In plain sight. I just didn’t notice them, or maybe I didn’t care, or… just maybe… my faith in human goodness, despite a solid Christian upbringing, had misled me to believe that people couldn’t possibly be that stupid.

Fearful London: Falls Soar as People Scared of Catching Covid from Handrails

h ttps://www.breitbart.com/europe/2021/09/20/fearful-london-falls-soar-as-people-scared-of-catching-covid-from-handrails/

By Victoria Friedman, 20 September 2021

Okay, okay, I walk back that dig on Englishmen. We’re talking about London which has long gone the way of Rhodesia: overrun by savages so mindless that these safety warnings could have been useful had they included pictures.

Escalator falls at tube stations have increased because Britons are frightened of catching coronavirus if they hold onto the handrails, a London Underground official has said.

Managing Director of London Underground Andy Lord told a Transport for London (TfL) safety panel said the underground railway’s biggest risk of harm is: “falls on escalators caused by people who don’t hold the handrail. There is an issue with the perception that the handrail is not clean because of the pandemic.”

This is what happens with hysteria: people lose the ability to weigh one risk against another. “I might die if I stabilize myself! *slip* *snap* owww… oh God, oh God… please tell me that’s not Covid I feel….”

Mr Lord also said that the second most significant factor to blame for the injuries was drunkenness, saying in comments reported by The Telegraph on Thursday: “The other bigger issue is actually intoxication. We have seen a significant spike as the various stages of lockdown have been reduced, with particular spikes initially on Thursday and Friday evenings and then weekends.”

Don’t blame the pubs reopening. Government bans fun and oxygen along with friends and exercise, and what are men supposed to do to blow off steam?

The reluctance to touch handrails comes despite an Imperial College London study finding in February no traces of the Chinese virus in air samples or on shared surfaces on several of London’s trains, buses, Tube stations, or bus depots that researchers had tested.

Londoners’ fear of catching the virus appears to be part of a wider culture of fear that has gripped the nation. A poll from July, taken less than two weeks before the end of the majority of restrictions, found that a combined 79 per cent of Britons felt some level of nervousness over the end of lockdown. More than one-in-five (21 per cent) said they felt “very nervous”, 34 per cent “fairly nervous”, and 24 per cent “not very nervous”. Just 21 per cent said they did not feel nervous “at all”.

Take your victory lap, government! You’ve punished your loyal, trusting supporters far more effectively than we Purebloods ever could have. In fact, your fear-mongering is so effective that when we offer to help people unplug, we’re fighting back a grin at the antics that often follow their panicked refusal to rethink their new Normal.

What antics? Mostly passing out from a toxic combination of indignation, multiple face diapers and no cardio for two years. But we’ll happily add oopsies in the Tube to the list.

You Londoners have until 4chan discovers banana peels to stop participating with the Plandemic.

However, Britons were not always so fearful, with the heightened concern of catching coronavirus appearing to be by government design.

A March 13th, 2020, YouGov poll found that most people were not worried about Covid-19, and it was an attitude that had not escaped the attention of government advisors in the early months of the pandemic reaching Europe.

A paper entitled, “Options for increasing adherence to social distancing measures”, dated March 22nd, 2020, published by the government on May 5th was discussed at a meeting of the influential Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) meeting on March 23rd of that year.

Under a section entitled “Persuasion”, the advisors from SAGE’s behavioural science sub-group the Scientific Pandemic Insights Group on Behaviours (SPI-B) noted that “a substantial number of people still do not feel sufficiently personally threatened” by the Chinese virus.

SPI-B went on to advise: “The perceived level of personal threat needs to be increased among those who are complacent, using hard-hitting emotional messaging. To be effective this must also empower people by making clear the actions they can take to reduce the threat.”

Faith-based traditions have many beneficial aspects for practitioners of faiths. But !SCIENCE! is still unable, although success is expected daily, to enjoy the benefits of religion without that pesky Conscience In the Sky.

We must not allow people to believe in God even when it would be healthy!

Psychologists Are Learning What Religion Has Known for Years

h ttps://www.wired.com/story/psychologists-religion-how-god-works/

By David Desteno, 14 September 2021

[DeSteno is a professor of psychology at Northeastern University and author of “How God Works: The Science Behind the Benefits of Religion”. This story is adapted from [that book].]

EVEN THOUGH I was raised Catholic, for most of my adult life, I didn’t pay religion much heed. Like many scientists, I assumed it was built on opinion, conjecture, or even hope, and therefore irrelevant to my work. That work is running a psychology lab focused on finding ways to improve the human condition, using the tools of science to develop techniques that can help people meet the challenges life throws at them.

You need pills, not hope! Because !Science! believes only in pills.

But in the 20 years since I began this work, I’ve realized that much of what psychologists and neuroscientists are finding about how to change people’s beliefs, feelings, and behaviors—how to support them when they grieve, how to help them be more ethical, how to let them find connection and happiness—echoes ideas and techniques that religions have been using for thousands of years.

“For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance, he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.”
― Robert Jastrow, God and the Astronomers

Science and religion have often been at odds. But if we remove the theology—views about the nature of God, the creation of the universe, and the like—from the day-to-day practice of religious faith, the animosity in the debate evaporates. What we’re left with is a series of rituals, customs, and sentiments that are themselves the results of experiments of sorts. Over thousands of years, these experiments, carried out in the messy thick of life as opposed to sterile labs, have led to the design of what we might call spiritual technologies—tools and processes meant to sooth, move, convince, or otherwise tweak the mind. And studying these technologies has revealed that certain parts of religious practices, even when removed from a spiritual context, are able to influence people’s minds in the measurable ways psychologists often seek.

All the ships of modern psychology wreck upon this Rock, that all the benefits of acting like humanity has a caring Savior cannot be separated from the belief that there is a caring Savior. Let’s see if Desteno ends where most atheists do, with using the government as a sock puppet for God.

My lab has found, for example, that having people practice Buddhist meditation for a short time makes them kinder. After only eight weeks of study with a Buddhist lama, 50 percent of those who we randomly assigned to meditate daily spontaneously helped a stranger in pain. Only 16 percent of those who didn’t meditate did the same. (In reality, the stranger was an actor we hired to use crutches and wear a removable foot cast while trying to find a seat in a crowded room.) Compassion wasn’t limited to strangers, though; it also applied to enemies. Another study showed that after three weeks of meditation, most people refrained from seeking revenge on someone who insulted them, unlike most of those who did not meditate. Once my team observed these profound impacts, we began looking for other linkages between our previous research and existing religious rituals.

What were they mediating on, one wonders? Because staring at a blank wall with a blank mind for two months would make me hurt myself just to feel something.

Gratitude, for instance, is something we had studied closely, and a key element of many religious practices. Christians often say grace before a meal; Jews give thanks to God with the Modeh Ani prayer every day upon awakening. When we studied the act of giving thanks, even in a secular context, we found it made people more virtuous. In a study where people could get more money by lying about the results of a coin flip, the majority (53 percent) cheated. But that figure dropped dramatically for people who we first asked to count their blessings. Of these, only 27 percent chose to lie. We’ve also found that when feeling gratitude to a person, to fate, or to God, people become more helpful, more generous, and even more patient.

I cannot help but notice that all these ‘benefits’ are in the form of behavior modifications that the State can impose cheaply.

Even very subtle actions—like moving together in time—can exert a significant effect on the mind. We see synchrony in almost every religion the world over: Buddhists and Hindus often chant together in prayer; Christians and Muslims regularly kneel and stand in unison during worship; Jews often sway, or shuckle, when reciting prayers together. These actions belie a deep purpose: creating connection. To see how it works, we asked pairs of strangers to sit across a table from one another, put on headphones, and then tap a sensor on the table in front of them each time they heard a tone. For some of these pairs, the sequence of tones matched, meaning they’d be tapping their hands in unison. For others, they were random, meaning hand movements wouldn’t be synchronized. Afterward, we created a situation where one member of each pair got stuck doing a long and difficult task. Not only did those who had been moving their hands in unison report feeling more connection with and compassion for their partner who was now toiling away, 50 percent of them decided to lend the partner a hand—a big increase over the 18 percent who decided to help without having just moved in sync.

What about everybody wearing a face diaper at the same time? Could that also be a form of synchronization?

The combined effects of simple elements like these—ones that change how we feel, what we believe, and who we can depend on—accumulate over time. And when they’re embedded in religious practices, research has shown they can have protective properties of sorts. Regularly taking part in religious practices lessens anxiety and depression, increases physical health, and even reduces the risk of early death. These benefits don’t come simply from general social contact. There’s something specific to spiritual practices themselves.

So far, so good. All of this is just humans being social creatures that are more pleasant when they aren’t being rat-raced everywhere.

The ways these practices leverage mechanisms of our bodies and minds can enhance the joys and reduce the pains of life. Parts of religious mourning rituals incorporate elements science has recently found to reduce grief. Healing rites contain elements that can help our bodies heal themselves simply by strengthening our expectations of a cure. Religions didn’t just find these psychological tweaks and nudges long before scientists arrived on the scene, but often packaged them together in sophisticated ways that the scientific community can learn from.

And off the deep end we go. Religion gives people credible reasons to feel better that no laboratory can offer.

“My Grandma died!”

“She was devout, you’ll see her again in Heaven.”

versus

“My Grandma died!”

“She’ll be recycled into protein chunks by our Glorious State Empire. That’s kind of like a second life.”

The surprise my colleagues and I felt when we saw evidence of religion’s benefits was a sign of our hubris, born of a common notion among scientists: All of religion is superstition and, therefore, could have little practical benefit. I’ll admit that we’re unlikely to learn much about the nature of the universe or the biology of disease from religion. But when it comes to finding ways to help people deal with issues surrounding birth and death, morality and meaning, grief and loss, it would be strange if thousands of years of religious thought didn’t have something to offer.

And stranger yet if none of that was sourced in God rather than clever psychological tricks. Their hubris will persist until they allow for the possibility of God actually existing.

Desteno is also exhibiting the Progress fallacy that new is always better than old. These fools destroy traditions, rewrite history and tear down statues because they are supremely confident that what comes next, WHATEVER IT HAPPENS TO BE, will be an improvement on hokey religions and ancient architectures.

That’s how you can KNOW that sodomy is a good thing… it was almost NEVER tolerated by those temporal hicks!

Over the past few years, as I’ve looked back at the results of my studies and those of other researchers, I’ve come to see a nuanced relationship between science and religion.

Okay, if ‘nuanced’ means ‘Christians invented modern science’.

I now view them as two approaches to improving people’s lives that frequently complement each other. It’s not that I’ve suddenly found faith or have a new agenda to defend religion. I firmly believe that the scientific method is a wonder, and offers one of the best ways to test ideas about how the world works. Like any good scientist, I’m simply following the data without prejudice. And it’s humbling.

But… you JUST DID find reason to defend religion. You CONFIRMED RELIGIOUS PRACTICES with the scientific method. And your only thought is to discard God as quickly as possible so that the benefits of devotion can exist in a vacuum?

Rather than scoffing at religion and starting psychological investigations from scratch, we scientists should be studying rituals and spiritual practices to understand their influence, and where appropriate, create new techniques and therapies informed by them. Doing this doesn’t require accepting a given theology—just an open mind and an attitude of respect. Not doing it risks betraying our principles.

The principle of Evolution. What abortion is to feminism, Evo is to atheists. It is what allows them to act smart while denying that our incredibly ordered and balanced reality could possibly be the result of a transcendent Creator.

Desteno must find a way to explain everything from cosmology to death rituals in a way that proves they are not the result of religion… that is to say, that religion came along one day, found a useful behavior and appropriated it.

Philip Pullman made such an argument with his Northern Lights books. No surprise if you haven’t heard of them. TL;DR in a parallel reality, the Catholic Church suppresses all dissident science. A courageous expedition to discover the mindless substance that created reality ends with fallen angels helping a protagonist to murder God with a magical shiv. For science!

Just like Carl Sagan’s movie Contact, atheists always start out knowing that there is no God and end up trying to kill and replace Him. Even the atheists see themselves like that!

If we ignore that body of knowledge, if we refuse to take these spiritual technologies seriously as a source of ideas and inspiration to study, we slow the progress of science itself and limit its potential to benefit humanity. It’s by talking across the boundaries that usually divide us—science versus religion, one faith versus another—that we’ll find new ways to make life better.

You fool. You were the one who threw up that boundary in the first place. You said it in the very beginning of this article, that you first discarded God and then tried to make men good. You even made it your life’s work and called it science.

But just as Christ does not fit under the microscope, neither does evolution. You have made an idol out of !Science! and still haven’t noticed after 20 years of worshiping it.

Even now, when your research and experiments have confirmed the parts of religion that can be observed in a laboratory, you deny all religion while attempting to keep their behavior-modification tricks. You don’t, nay, you dare not allow yourself to consider the most obvious conclusion of your own research: that it wasn’t evolution that made humans act like there’s a God. Not if they want to be healthy, anyway.

But credit to Desteno, he didn’t end by calling for government to act as a surrogate deity. At least, not in this chapter of his book.

I always knew this day would come. Police pull over a Tesla car on autopilot with a drunk driver… who do they arrest?

And how do the cops stop a car on autopilot?

California troopers arrest woman for DUI while Tesla reportedly on autopilot

h ttps://www.foxnews.com/us/california-troopers-arrest-dui-tesla-autopilot

By Peter Aitken, 17 September 2021

Good call, professionals! Guns don’t kill people and if the car driver is wasted drunk then she’s DUI no matter how many steering aids she’s using.

California Highway Patrol officers pulled over a Tesla that was cruising down the 134 Freeway at around 11 p.m. Thursday night. Troopers observed that the driver was unconscious at the time.

An air patrol unit caught the end of the incident as the vehicle slowed to a stop after a CHP vehicle overtook it and stopped in front of it, ABC 7 reported.

Whew. I was afraid the Highway Patrol had a remote control for deactivating late-model cars. You know that tech is coming… but it’s not here yet.

Troopers could not confirm, though, whether or not the vehicle had been on autopilot when it stopped. The driver claimed that it was.

That’s her story and she’s sticking to it!

California drivers have previously had issues with Tesla autopilot, with some drivers taking advantage of the feature in ways that some experts believe is dangerous.

Come on, now. If there’s one legit use for demanding an autopilot in every car, it’s to reach home safely after getting wasted at a party.

But in turn, that means there was a real risk to public safety, that the driver would have puked on all those expensive electronics and turned herself into a speeding metal bullet.

At which point, she could have been arrested as a mass shooter.

CHP in July cited a driver with a DUI after a Tesla on autopilot almost hit a trooper. The troopers had been investigating a head-on crash in San Diego when the Tesla sped by and almost hit a fire truck as well.

“What do you want, officer?”

“YOU ALMOST RAN ME OVER YOU BASTARD!!!”

“Nope, wasn’t me. Blame Elon Musk because this baby was on autopilot.”

Police are NEVER going to accept that an autopilot is to blame because that would make vehicular manslaughter of law enforcement (and everybody else on the highway) pretty much legal.

The number of incidents that involved Tesla’s autopilot feature forced the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in 2018 to investigate Tesla vehicles. In 11 crashes since 2018, 17 people have been injured and one killed.

“No commercially-available motor vehicles today are capable of driving themselves,” an NHTSA spokesperson told Fox News. “Every available vehicle requires the human driver to be in control at all times, and all State laws hold the human driver responsible for operation of their vehicles.”

And once again, I emphasize the impossibility and redundancy of a car that drives itself but must have a human hovering over it to take control at a fraction of a moment’s notice. Humans don’t have reflexes that good and there’s no point in having an autopilot if it’s not saving the human any effort… or blame.

It’s a relatively new seminary that’s been running advertisement-articles at the Christian Post. One of them is finally worth tearing into. Like most seminaries, its bias for ivory-tower sermonizing has blinded it to modern-day realities.

Are You Thinking Like an Atheist?

h ttps://www.christianpost.com/sponsored/are-you-thinking-like-an-atheist.html

By Adam Tucker, 20 August 2021

Why is it that so many Christians believe that thinking about God, understanding systematic theology, or doing apologetics should be something so easy that little thinking is required?

Because it is. Ever notice how the ordinary people understood Jesus just fine while the Pharisees and TEACHERS OF THE LAW didn’t? Christianity is easy to understand but hard to accept.

That is hard to accept for institutions of higher understanding er, education.

In fact, some of them believe that loving God and neighbor requires nothing more than praying a prayer, reading a daily devotional, and going to church on Sunday. Because they don’t question the existence of God, they can’t imagine why anyone else would. Sadly, such shallow thinking has more in common with modern-day popular atheism than it does with historic Christianity.

Which is it? Is the problem of such people that their faith hath not deeds, or that their devotionals don’t challenge their shallow thinking?

Meanwhile, how is any of this relevant to atheist thought patterns?

There are many atheists who maintain that if God exists it wouldn’t be that difficult to know. This is simply a species of the argument from divine hiddenness (i.e., if God exists, then His existence should be obvious to everyone). Why on earth would anyone need formal training in theology, philosophy, or apologetics to learn about God?

I don’t personally know any atheists who have ever made such a philosophical rejection of God. They surely exist because they write books just like our clergy do, but I get out too much to meet them.

The most common rejection that I’ve heard real, ordinary atheists make, is that if God hated evildoers and hypocrites then His own followers would be the first into Hell. Guess what, they have a valid point: the barrier between the unsaved and Christ is that they don’t think we’re any different. It ain’t because we don’t have a good response to Richard Dawkins’ latest rant.

Hence this fisking. Seminaries having become the human-controlled gatekeepers into Christian leadership… in total violation of Christ’s own example… recall that of the Twelve Apostles, only Paul was edge-u-kited and he considered himself the bastard of the bunch. “All that was to my credit, I now count as loss”… it is entirely appropriate that the leaders and teachers of those seminaries should be informed, at length and at volume, of their manifest shortcomings by the Christians that they don’t lift a finger to help.

At Southern Evangelical Seminary and Bible College, (SES) we believe that this attitude has led to confused thinking about how to actually do apologetics, which leads to shallow (if not false) thinking about who God is. This can, in turn, lead to dangerous consequences for evangelism. Allow me to illustrate.

Me first, chumps.

If you refuse the now-completely-discredited vaxx despite not knowing how you’ll feed your family after the State casts you into the darkness, you’re showing the world that you believe in a Real God. You are proving with your actions and their consequences, that your “faith” is no mere affectation. You have divined the truth from the lies and though your knees shake and your brow sweats blood in fear of what is to come, you took up your Cross exactly as Christ did and followed in His footsteps. Everybody who looks at you will see God Himself.

THAT is what apologetics looks like. Screw any notion of reasoning people into believing in God. Show them. That’s the modern face of apologetics, you motherfucking clergy Nancy boys. People everywhere are cooperating with the slave mask, with the clot shot, with the end of all social interaction forever, and they do it for no reason then why suffer for what they’re told doesn’t matter? Seek pleasure, avoid pain, for tomorrow we die.

What do you clergy do that’s any different from what an atheist does? You write books? You spell evolution ‘G.O.D.’?

…You tell people they need advanced education in order to be an entry-level worker?

The sight of one Christian man acting out his devotion to Christ, even to his own impoverishment, is an argument for “I believe” that no atheist can refute.

Now, then… let’s hear what YOU think good apologetics look like, Southern Evangelical Seminary.

My ten year old is a pretty smart guy. He makes good grades, is a math wiz, and can recite numerous sports statistics. He understands that when his allergies are acting up he needs some allergy medicine, or if he has a fever, he knows he needs some Tylenol. But exactly how much medicine should he take? How will those medicines interact with other medicines he may be taking or medical conditions he may have? How did that Tylenol come about in just the right combination of chemicals so as to help rather than harm him? He doesn’t know the answer to any of these questions.

Your kid is very smart but still can’t follow the instructions on a bottle of Children’s Tylenol?

My wife, on the other hand, is a clinical pharmacist.

YOU FEMINIST SHILL!!!

This is too good… for MY side. Your illustration of what good apologetics look like is a woman who neglected both her home and at least partially, her child, to indulge in a man’s career… because Tylenol is such a complicated and dangerous topic that you didn’t feel safe without a CLINICAL PHARMACIST dispensing it!

How appropriate for Current Year!

Man, did you become a theologian because inverting the God-given sex roles for your marriage didn’t leave you with enough housework to stay busy?

She knows the detailed answers to all of those questions and more. I recall helping her study for her pharmacy boards many years ago.

You are also a practitioner of Original Sin, humanity’s very Fall From Grace. Maybe you can read the Bible in five different languages but you didn’t understand it past Genesis chapter 3. The part where Eve envied Adam his male privilege?

The chemistry she had to study, the names she had to pronounce and recall, and the drug interactions she had to memorize were mind-boggling. We appreciate, and utilize often, the expertise of pharmacists like my wife. In fact, I’ve never heard anyone say, “I reject the study of pharmacology because God wouldn’t make chemistry and the human body so difficult to understand that someone must take a class to be trained. Those pharmacists should just stay in their ivory towers and quit confusing us with their terminology and study.”

Let me tell you a story, to illustrate how hard it is to learn chemistry.

There was a medicine made from tree bark, the technical name being salicyclic acid. It was unpleasantly acidic (duh). A chemist working for the Bayer drug company in Germany, Felix Hoffmann, discovered that by adding a common modification called an acetyl group, the beneficial properties were enhanced while making it less acidic, too. Bayer marketed this “acetylsalicyclic acid” under the trade name Aspirin.

That’s where aspirin comes from.

Happy with his success, he proceeded to another medicine whose dangers were becoming known: morphine. He made diacetylmorphine (“di” means “two”) which experts considered safer and more effective than morphine.

Bayer marketed it under the trade name Heroin. And for a time, heroin was legal while morphine was not because the eggheads KNEW it was safer.

So, yeah, you can always trust the experts! and chemistry with its weird names is really hard to understand! unless you have a good teacher with two minutes to spare.

Similarly, my ten year old can know that nothing comes from nothing, and right now he’s content with knowing that God is the cause of the universe. But can he answer challenges from atheists like Dan Barker, Richard Dawkins, Betrand Russell, or J.L. Mackie? Can he rightly refute the claims of the cults and their misunderstanding of God? Can he adequately respond to popular aberrant doctrines taught by some influential evangelicals?

If your son reaches age 20 while attending church but not seminary, will he be able to then? Or are you hoarding knowledge about Christianity in order to make it only available to paying clients? The graduates of your seminary, do they teach others what you taught them? Or do they just hand out your business cards while going through the motions of the sacraments?

Do you realize how insulting and arrogant you’re being, by comparing adults who haven’t attended seminary to the immaturity of a 10 year old?

Can he explain how critical theory and modern “social justice” is antithetical to the Gospel?

For fuck’s sake, dude, you’re probably white. You explain “how critical race theory is antithetical to the Gospel” to a child by saying “they hate us and want us dead”. Like chemistry, you don’t usually need the details.

Many questions about God raised by both atheists and Christians require a good deal of background knowledge and, dare I say, philosophy in order to appropriately answer.

Speaking of atheists, why don’t we circle back to the original question of “thinking like an atheist”. They’re being insulted, too, if Southern Evangelical Seminary thinks that the reason they aren’t Christian is because they aren’t educated enough to know better.

I want to challenge my brothers and sisters in Christ to not think like an atheist. Do not be content with what is often incomplete and unreflective thought. Our faith (and our knowledge of God’s existence) must be built upon deeper foundations that are not so easily disturbed by the tired old fallacious comments made by those who oppose the Truth. We must be careful to build our understanding of God upon reality rather than on our emotions and oft-times misdirected thinking.

Yep, the atheists are also being insulted. They aren’t stupid people. They are wrong about something important but that is not the same thing as stupid. Perhaps instead of teaching high-level refutations of Richard Dawkins and his peers, we could… I don’t know… show the atheists what they’re missing? Demonstrate the difference between Godly and Godless living?

Or does becoming an avatar of Christ depend upon extensive credentialism and philosophical argument rather than suffering for what you know to be true? How to write a best-selling book instead of exercising faith like a muscle… against iron resistance?

I will put this bluntly:

THERE IS NO CHRISTIAN JUSTIFICATION FOR A SEMINARY TO EXIST.

Everything that the Southern Evangelical Seminary is able to teach with regards to improved evangelism and apologetics, it has the DUTY to teach FOR FREE. It’s the atheists who charge each other rent in return for critical knowledge.

If some individual Christians want to go the extra mile and learn the history and dead languages of Christendom, that’s great. It’s the sort of thing that a few people should know in case an unusual circumstance comes up, such as Tylenol’s interaction with whatever new drug just came on the market.

But there is no excuse whatsoever, in God’s view, to surcharge the ability to be a good Christian. If paying attention in weekly church doesn’t prepare us to answer the hard questions then our (seminary-trained) clergy are neglecting us.

Are the atheists really supposed to believe in God because our advanced degrees come from “seminaries” instead of “universities”? Are atheists supposed to believe that God created humans a particular way when our leaders empower women the exact same way that they do? Are atheists supposed to admit that the Christian path is better when it’s no different at all from how the atheist lives?

Instead of living in an ivory tower for a few more years, the staff of SES should actually live among real, ordinary atheists and actually listen to what they think. Perhaps by working in an Amazon warehouse, or meeting Socialist nobodies trying to pay the rent, or attending a gay pride event and staring in horror at how badly the modern Church with all of its seminaries, has failed to transmit the most basic Christian knowledge that the dick goes in the chick.

There is a pecking order to Social Justice. Normally, noggers rate higher than white knights but this might be changing in England. Two young Englishmen were walking down the street, saw women being rayyped by noggers, charged in and heroically became statistics after the women admitted it wasn’t like that.

I can’t use the word “victim” anywhere here.

Hero who stopped ‘rape of two girls’ on high street suffers horror injuries

h ttps://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1486941/Hanley-girl-rape-Stoke-on-Trent-Staffordshire-men-attacked

By Rob Andrews & Bradley Jolly, 8 September 2021

The young men, aged 19 and 25, are recovering in hospital with one requiring facial reconstruction surgery due to the severe impact of his wounds. They reportedly stepped in at around 5.20am yesterday in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, after seeing the girls in distress.

What were they doing on the street at 5am on a Tuesday? Going to a job, I assume, which denies them even the excuse of being drunk off their asses.

Family members told how the two lads were then brutally attacked and one of them was stamped on as he lay on the floor, Stoke-on-Trent Live reports.

That’s what heroism looks like?

Staffordshire Police have released descriptions of two men they want to speak to following yesterday’s attack.

Detectives are still looking for the predators, described as young black men, one wearing a white, short-sleeved t-shirt and black waistcoat with blue jeans, the other was wearing dark clothing.

Friends and relatives have praised the Good Samaritans who are understood to have saved the girls.

Ben Mortimer said: “My stepson and his friend showed pure bravery to prevent the rape of two girls. These two deserve a medal for putting themselves in danger. My stepson has multiple broken bones in his face due to the guys stamping on his face.”

Um, yay. That’ll show those punks to not mess with England..?

So at least one of them is from a split family. Original Sin rears its ugly head again. Baby Momma is surrounded by men who have abandoned their position of authority to literally die for any woman at any time, regardless of circumstances, and call it ‘heroic’ instead of ‘stupid’. It’s the Curse of Adam that makes that sound like a good idea.

Shelly Metcalfe added: “Just so everyone knows. My brother and his friend stopped an attempted rape and they got beat up for it by two black men, one with short dreads and one with a shaved head.”

Just so everyone knows… no.

Segue

h ttps://www.yahoo.com/news/two-heroes-were-beaten-unconscious-160248605.html

Initial reports indicated that the men stepped in to prevent rape. A Staffordshire Police spokesperson told Insider: “We want to clarify that, following inquiries, there was not a report of attempted rape of a female ahead of an assault of two men that took place on Stafford Street in Hanley on 5 September 2021.”

There was, however, an “allegation of a woman being touched inappropriately,” the spokesperson said.

According to the Crown Prosecution Service, sexual assault is when a person is coerced or physically forced to engage against their will, or when a person touches another person sexually without their consent. Touching can be done with any part of the body or with an object.

Translation, the victims decided to not press charges against their lovers.

End Segue

Neil Watkins said: “Two heroes. I hope they have a speedy recovery because without them the outcome for the two young girls would have been horrendous.

“Take a bow lads you should be proud of yourselves regardless of the outcome.”

Maybe next time they could help an innocent or at least, fight off the attackers instead of getting literally stomped. This is England so I don’t blame them for not being armed; regardless, if you can’t throw a decent punch then don’t volunteer for a street fight.

Officers continue to investigate Hanley, which is Stoke’s main shopping and business area.

“I’ll save you, muh’Lady! I will give my life for you!”

“Damn right you will, that be my boyfriend you be going at! I won’t let him go back to jail!”

You’ve probably heard that a black family that lost its valuable Los Angeles property in 1924 is getting it back thanks to a unanimous vote of the City Council on grounds of reparation for the land being stolen from them. You probably didn’t hear that that black family purchased the land illegally in order to force racial strife and have already been compensated for the land at a generous rate. And the government is screwing them over MORE than ever before!

Pacific-Front Parcel Taken From Black Family in 1924 Returned to Rightful Owners

h ttps://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/manhattan-beach-black-family-dollar75million

By Dan Avery 13 September 2021

Descendants of a couple who built a beachfront resort for Black families in Los Angeles more than a century ago.only to have it taken away by racist government policies.are finally able to reclaim the land, officials announced Friday. Viewed in today’s frothy real estate terms, the property could be worth roughly $75 million.

Migrating from New Mexico in the early 20th century, Willa and Charles Bruce were among the first Black people to settle in what would become Manhattan Beach, California. In 1912, they bought two parcels of land on Highland Avenue for less than $2,000 and built a beachfront lodge with a caf?, dance hall, cabanas, and bathing suit rentals.

An advertisement in the Liberator, an early 20th-century Black newspaper, announced that the June 17, 1912, opening of Bruce Beach Front would be a “grand affair..

There’s our first clue that all is not well in White Guilt Land. They announced the opening of their cafe in an abolitionist, racist (and also feminist) newspaper to advertise they were open for business in…

The lodge is considered the first resort for African Americans on the West Coast, opened at a time when Jim Crow laws barred them from most seashores.

…an intentionally white neighborhood. Colonization is a bad thing, yes? Bueller?

The only other black-friendly beach was called the Inkwell in nearby Santa Monica. If this lack of beach availability sounds unfair to you reflect that…

1. There very few blacks in California in 1912.

2. Blacks don’t like the beach, to judge from my observations of them living in Los Angeles and other beachfront parts of California.

3. People still understood that racial segregation was a good thing. This “Bruce’s Beach” effort was intentionally incendiary and driven by abolitionists.

.Wherever we have tried to buy land for a beach resort, we have been refused,. Willa Bruce told the Los Angeles Times in 1912. “But I own this land and I am going to keep it..

The couple was able to purchase the property because prominent real estate developer George Peck chose to ignore segregation policies in the area and sold land to African Americans, allowing a thriving Black American community to emerge.

Not just colonization, but a literally criminal sale of the land. One case of White Savior Complex led to years of strife. Per wikipedia, even Peck came to regret his altruism and walled off his property to force significant detours in order to reach the beach.

Almost immediately, guests were harassed by white neighbors and members of the Klu Klux Klan, who reportedly slashed the guests. tires and set fire to a mattress under the main building. Furthermore, fake .10-minute only. parking signs were posted to vex visitors from out of town.

Today, it’s the enclave-liberal residents who post fake parking-restriction signs. More on this in a minute.

Finally, in 1924, the Manhattan Beach City Council used eminent domain to condemn the Bruces. lodge, along with other nearby Black-owned properties, and claim the land. The alleged reason was to build a park, but according to a report prepared by the city council, contemporary articles and historical documents indicate the real motive was that “white neighbors resented the resort’s growing popularity and prosperity of its African American owners..

Twelve years weren’t enough for them to learn how to coexist. The government finally gave up and the people who should never have been there in the first place, were the ones targeted for removal. All was well.

The families sued, claiming they were the victims of a racially motivated removal campaign. Eventually, the Bruces were awarded $14,500, but their lodge was razed in 1927, and they were unable to re-open anywhere else in Manhattan Beach.

I presume that the $14,500 was the compensation finally agreed upon for the eminent domain. That is not a seizure of land, it is a forced sale of land for its appraised value. This story claims they bought the land for <$2k then eventually got >$14k for it a decade later. I don’t see a victim here, other than the neighbors that the abolitions unilaterally decided needed more color in their ‘hoods.

In the years that followed, Black families still tried to come to Bruce’s Beach, but police began charging them with trespassing. NAACP members were arrested for holding a .swim-in. in 1927.

There goes the illusion that this was all about KKK being meanies.

Despite the alleged park plan, Bruce’s Beach sat empty for decades. It wasn’t until the 1960s, when officials worried families might sue to regain their land, that an actual park was built on part of the Bruces. parcel.

At this point, they had no legal right to the land. They’d already sued, the case settled and paid out, done deal. But the 1960s was when all kinds of anti-white, black race grievance-style laws began getting passed.

In 1948, ownership of the park was ceded to the state, which transferred it to Los Angeles County in 1995 to oversee maintenance. It went through several name changes until it was finally christened Bruce’s Beach Park in 2007, thanks to the efforts of then-mayor Mitch Ward, the only Black elected official in Manhattan Beach history.

For years historians, activists, and Bruce family members have advocated for the return of the land, which is probably worth $75 million today, CNN reported. L.A. County board of supervisors member Janice Hahn became aware of the campaign last year, as the death of George Floyd fueled an overdue radical reckoning across the U.S. Hahn began looking into how to rectify a century-old wrong. .Bruce’s Beach became a place where Black families traveled from far and wide to be able to enjoy the simple pleasure of a day at the beach,. she said in April, when the council announced plans to return the land.

Except they didn’t. I go outside in California way more than the typical resident and guess what, there are no Blacks enjoying nature. It’s not only because the Latinos pushed them out.

.The Bruces had their California dream stolen from them,. Hahn said. “And this was an injustice inflicted not just upon Willa and Charles Bruce but on generations of their descendants who almost certainly would have been millionaires if they had been able to keep this property and their successful business..

I would’ve been a millionaire, too, if my government hadn’t decided to import the entire Turd World. Cash only, please!

The city’s ability to sell or transfer the property was blocked by regulations requiring legislation to change. The California state Senate passed the final vote unanimously on Thursday, the last day of the legislative session, to formally allow L.A. County to return Bruce’s Beach to members of the Bruce family. It’s believed to be the first time that land has been returned to a Black family as reparation for past discrimination. California Governor Gavin Newsom is expected to sign the bipartisan bill.

Segue

Bill SB 796

h ttps://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB796

This bill would exclude specified property located in Manhattan State Beach, commonly known as Bruce’s Beach, from the requirement that the property be used only for public recreation and beach purposes in perpetuity and from those specified restrictions.

Blacks can already visit and make use of it, apparently. But this specific family wasn’t able to use it as a weapon against racially peaceful communities.

The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) The United States of America has never fully addressed the institution and practice of 250 years of chattel slavery; the ideology that established and maintained it has left an indelible stain on the fabric of this nation and is embedded in virtually every facet of American culture and civil society.

The 1619 Project resurfaces to justify that “250 years” lie. If the “stain is indelible” then there’s no point in trying to remove it… and speaking of THAT…

(h) Willa and Charles Bruce were deprived of their rightful property, as well as their right to derive the benefits of that property, including the freedom and fortune of operating their own business on their land.

Wait for it…

No new or expanded commercial development shall be allowed on the granted real property.

BOOM, BABY!!! “You can have your land back because your ancestor’s business was shut down, but you still can’t operate a business on it.”

Congratulations on your non-victory, victicrats. Bruce’s descendants will buy the land at its 1975 value, sell it at the 2021 value, blow the money on drugs and hookers and be back in a week for another handout. Meanwhile, the developers will score big-time.

No wild parties, either, because LA City Council lockdowns. Don’t even think about a water tap or new construction. And budget for some SERIOUS bribes to the Coastal Commission, too, because their buy-in was not solicited in this specially approved sale.

End segue

Manhattan Beach resident Kavon Ward, who had been petitioning for the property’s return, told NBC News she was “ecstatic” over the vote. .I never would have fathomed that this would have happened so quickly. I was prepared to fight for years if not decades..

Ward believes the property should come with financial reparations too. .They need to pay for the stripping of generational wealth,. Ward told KABC 7 in March. .This family could have been wealthy, they could have passed on wealth to other family members. Manhattan Beach could have been more culturally diverse… There would have been more black people here..

The spot where the Bruce family lodge once stood is now home to a lifeguard training station.

They couldn’t wait one week before demanding another handout. Heck, they couldn’t even wait to receive this one before demanding another.

But it’s not about righting the wrongs of the past. It’s about spending the public treasury in return for votes and favors… how every single democracy in history has died.

Today Manhattan Beach is a wealthy enclave on the south shore of Santa Monica Bay, with some of the most expensive real estate in the United States. It’s home to about 35,000 residents, less than 1% of whom are Black.

Family members have not said whether they will sell the land to developers, lease it back to the county to maintain the lifeguard station, or keep it for themselves.

It’ll be “sell the land to developers”. For the proof, I go back to the text of SB 697:

(1) Parcel 1.Approximately 3.83 acres of unimproved land, known as Las Tunas State Beach.
(2) Parcel 2.Approximately 31.21 acres of improved land, known as Topanga State Beach.
(3) Parcel 3.Approximately 46.34 acres of improved land, being a portion of Manhattan State Beach.
(4) Parcel 4.Approximately 26.03 acres of improved land, known as Redondo State Beach.
(5) Parcel 5.Approximately 18.07 acres of improved land, known as Royal Palms State Beach.
(6) Parcel 6.Approximately 30.64 acres of improved land, being a portion of Point Dume State Beach.
(7) Parcel 7.Approximately 15.12 acres of unimproved land, known as Dan Blocker State Beach, and that includes Latigo Shores.
(8) Parcel 8.Approximately 10.50 acres of improved land, being a portion of Malibu Lagoon State Beach, known as Surfrider Beach.

Well, lookit that. They’re loudly praising ONE of those new parcels becoming unburdened by “for public use only” and being quiet about all the other PUBLIC-ACCESS BEACHES being closed. Dozens of acres of prime real estate.

Here’s the beach in question. Being a native Los Angeleno, I know that the wealthy types hoarding these beachfront communities hate, HATE allowing beach access to the general public. Remember my comment above that the locals are the ones now putting up fake traffic signs to ward away the unwashed masses? Exterminating the public park that you see in this picture is a longstanding priority of the locals, I guarantee it.

One last question… who ARE these descendants of the Bruce Family, anyway? I haven’t seen a name yet.

h ttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/bruces-beach-bill-could-return-property-to-black-descendants/ar-AAOg8Ej

A report on that plan, made by the County CEO.s office and the Anti-Racism, Diversity and Inclusion Initiative, detailed the complex processes involved in transferring the land, assessing the property’s worth, determining who the legal heirs are, limiting the property tax burden on the family and figuring out what to do with the lifeguard station.

Even the State doesn’t know… or care! “We wuz kangs” now including internecine wars of succession!

Those damn Indian givers in Sacramento! Because of this “reparation” to the Bruce family, blacks are going to LOSE the last bits of public beach access that they currently have.

With enemy pundits like this coming one, we don’t even need to make our own case. I remain thrilled that Texas not only de facto banned abortion, they de jure criminalized the women who seek the abortion instead of focusing on the hit-man providers that they hire. FINALLY!

Don’t Be Fooled By Religious Arguments For Texas’ Abortion Law. It’s Un-Christian.

h ttps://www.yahoo.com/news/dont-fooled-religious-arguments-texas-130001467.html

By Rev. Jennifer Butler, 11 September 2021

Okay, Reverend Rules-Over-Men. Let’s talk about what qualifies as Un-Christian Behavior. Soooo… what’s up with you posing as a leader of the Christianity? Did you not read the Book on it?

And her face, wow. I hope no man put a ring on that. Flat chest, strong jaw, SJW glasses and crazy hair… somebody was raised wrong then swam Left.

When I was a seminary student, training to become a pastor, I accompanied a loved one to a Planned Parenthood facility as she considered terminating her pregnancy. She chose not to get an abortion that day, but I was there for her either way.

No need for a Bible reference. It would require illiteracy to not comprehend the anti-Christianity of that opening statement.

Carrying each other through difficult moments, while respecting each other’s moral autonomy, is at the heart of both friendship and faith.

Obviously… painfully obviously… as in, The Crucifixion… Christianity is a unique, established moral standard and does not let its practitioners decide for themselves whether they deserve Hell. One would hardly need a Savior in such a define-it-yourself situation.

Under Texas. new S.B. 8 law, the options that the Planned Parenthood staffer compassionately laid out for my friend no longer exist. S.B. 8.s ban on abortion after six weeks functionally outlaws the vast majority of pregnancy terminations…

Yay Texas!

Millions of Texas women and the people who support them, including health care providers and faith leaders, are living in fear and danger after the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that allowed Texas. S.B. 8 to go into effect this week. S.B. 8 turns neighbor against neighbor by allowing any individual to sue anyone else whom they believe provided or assisted a patient with an abortion, and collect $10,000 for each successful claim.

YAY TEXAS!!! About that “this turns neighbor against neighbor” snark…

Under this law, my friend’s enraged partner, who tried to physically block us from leaving her home, could have bankrupted me.

She admits in her very next sentence, that the “neighbor against neighbor” incident happened when she fought off the father to help the mother visit the abortion clinic.

Which is worse? That Jennifer tried to thwart Ken’s efforts to stop Barbie from murdering his child, or that Jennifer can be deterred from doing that by pecuniary threats? “I can’t be an accessory to murder anymore because I might get sued! At least I can still be a living embodiment of the Curse Of Eve!”

And just for the record, she’s a CEO and White House insider. Few people are more capable of paying a fine or defending themselves from a civil suit. Women being motivated by fear like that is one of many reasons why God forbade them to rule over men.

When we reward anger and punish accompaniment, we ignore God’s condemnation of those who sow discord (Proverbs 6:19) and disregard the Gospel’s call to love our neighbor. While anti-abortion lawmakers often cloak their positions in Christian faith, S.B. 8 is theologically unsound.

Do I need to quote the Bible? This is such an abomination of Scripture that frankly, I’m happy to let it stand unchallenged.

The dangerous new reality created by S.B. 8 does not reflect the beliefs of everyday people who are conflicted about or even oppose abortion.

I’m pretty sure that it was never intended to be. Something I’ve come to realize about law and culture is that many people need government to do what must be done, because the people themselves have no stomach to do it. You can see this with immivasion debates. There’s a considerable faction that intellectually agrees with the idea of homogenous societies being best, who simultaneously lack the strength of conviction to actively make such a society happen. You’d have to be very mean to some very nice people… best for all if the State wields a sword that not all of its members are strong enough to. There’s no shame in that. Knowing that the pipe leaks doesn’t make you a plumber.

Also, I’m about ready to try a theocratic form of government. A Protestant one this time, although the Catholic precedent of Inquisition has clear merits… A pity that these things never work out in the end, however, for the exact same reason that Jennifer today can be a literal baby-killing Reverend.

I.ve held dialogues, publicly and privately, with Christians who hold a range of views on the morality and legality of abortion care. In a sometimes difficult search for ways to bridge divides, I’ve learned some important truths that illustrate why S.B. 8 fails to reflect the nuanced thinking that people across the spectrum bring to the issue.

Fascinating how she’s talking about what Christianity is, to a people (the Huffington Post) who hate Christ. She was only given Christian authority in order to discredit and blaspheme Christ.

What would happen if one of her dialogues across the spectrum convinced her that Christ did NOT like abortion? How long would she remain a Revered?

Given the very personal impact of the issue and the wide range of theologies on it, it’s only natural that people hold complex beliefs and see shades of gray.

This is not how ANY priest of Christ has EVER divined Christ’s will. “This issue affects me deeply and I don’t see it as black-and-white, so there’s no reason that Christ should disagree with me.”

But human beings have much clearer feelings about hypocrisy.

Dayumn! This female pastor went there!

The contrast between S.B. 8 and Texas. deadly COVID-19 policies shows a deep disconnect between .pro-life. rhetoric and .pro-life. policies. When Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed S.B. 8, he said that “our Creator endowed us with a right to life.” But Abbott has unleashed unnecessary death by banning school districts statewide from protecting children’s lives with classroom mask mandates, and by forbidding businesses from requiring that patrons and employees be vaccinated to enter. The dissonance will only become sharper as hospital beds and mortuaries fill with COVID victims while court dockets proliferate with lawsuits against people sued for acts of friendship and compassion toward women seeking abortion care.

If you love Christ but hate the devil then you’re a hypocrite! If you ban abortion because you love life but don’t love MY life enough to ban the existence of everybody except me and those select few who obey my ever-growing list of demands and threats, then you’re a hypocrite!

The friend I accompanied to Planned Parenthood ultimately put her child up for adoption.

“I fought off her boyfriend so she could go to the abortion clinic but she decided to keep the kid after all.”

Policies that rob us of the agency to make such weighty moral decisions about the direction of our lives demean the fullness of our humanity.

More hypocrisy! And she was the one to bring up the Coof lockdowns, too!

And suing people into bankruptcy for acts of compassion is the height of cruelty.

MORE hypocrisy! Here we have Texas having compassion on the unborn, yet it’s anybody’s guess how many lawsuits have already been filed to bankrupt the state in retaliation.

As a pastor, the words of Scripture and the stories of my neighbors compel me to rebuke this [ban on infanticide].

She cited exactly one Bible verse, to the effect that anybody who disagrees with her is not a team player. Although to be fair… if that’s the right word… I refuted her with zero Bible verses.

I just let this Godless bitch run her mouth.

The Rev. Jennifer Butler is CEO of Faith in Public Life, a nationwide network of more than 50,000 faith leaders, and was chair of the President’s Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships under the Obama administration.

H.Y.P.O.C.R.I.S.Y. “I’m a Christian leader working for the Obama Administration!”

Contact tracing is one of those hellishly Orwellian concepts that society somehow accepted as normal five minutes after its introduction. “Don’t worry, we only keep track of who your friends and associates are… and everywhere you’ve been… just in case you fail a purity test. You wouldn’t want to be a walking, breathing threat to society, now would you?”

Today is a twofer, mocking both contact tracers AND fact checkers for the lying shits they are!

EXCLUSIVE: Washington public school forces student athletes to wear ankle monitors for purposes of COVID segregation: parents

h ttps://thepostmillennial.com/exclusive-washington-public-school-forces-unvaccinated-teens-to-wear-ankle-monitors/

By Ari Hoffman, 24 August 2021

One unnamed mother told the Post Millennial that her daughter had only just arrived at volleyball team practice when she received a text message revealing that the team coach was asking her child to put on an ankle monitor.

“The teen did not answer the mother’s follow up texts or calls,” the outlet’s Ari Hoffmann wrote. “The mother assumed she was playing during practice and attempted to contact the school via phone. No one at the school was able to answer her questions about the monitor, so she drove to the building.”

When she arrived at the school, the mother said that she encountered an employee in the school office, who reportedly told her that there was a meeting held the previous week discussing the “ankle monitoring program.”

The program, the staffer reportedly told the mother, was intended for contact tracing in the event of any student’s positive COVID-19 test.

The coach also reportedly told the mother that use of the device was intended to inform players when they were not distanced enough, and was only reportedly intended for use at indoor practice… The device, according to the outlet, provides a “visual and audible alarm” so that any individual, who may come into unnecessarily close contact with another person, will “know when to adjust their current distance to a proper social distance.”

That is child abuse, forcing them to wear tracking devices that warn them whenever they move within six feet of another human being.

The coach also added that the school reportedly handed out opt-out forms during the previous week’s meeting, but the unnamed mom said that she never received any such forms, nor was she ever made aware of such a program.

The devices, according to the outlet, were not mentioned in the school’s updated 2021-22 school year policies.

Parent Jason Ostendorf is also angry over the practice.

He told the News Tribune that students have enough to deal with these days amid a global pandemic.

“It’s just one more thing they’re doing to the kids through this whole COVID thing,” he insisted. “The vaccine, now be tracked when you’re at practice. Where does this end? I feel like this is an experiment on our kids to see how much we can put them through before they start breaking.”

Maybe because it is.

Ostendorf added that he was told if he refused to sign the permission slip, his children would not be permitted to play on team sports.

That means it’s “optional” and therefore, legal!

In a statement to the Post Millennial, school board director Matt Marshall told the outlet that the school has decided to stop using the devices “until proper procedures including community input and board approval process occur.”

Insufficient. They’re only sorry that they got caught. Justice demands punishment! Marshall is unfit to ever have authority over children again in his life. Treating children like paroled murderers was not an oopsie.

Eatonville School District Superintendent Gary Neal also spoke out about the controversy and said that the monitors were not intended to segregate the student population.

A second Child of the Devil, lying through his teeth. “They don’t segregate! They only isolate!”

“We received grant funding (known as ESSER III) that specifically included provisions to support higher-risk athletic programs, and we used some of those funds to pay for athletic proximity monitors,” Neal said.

How about we repurpose those to School District Superintendent proximity monitors? They can opt-out by quitting their cushy job.

“We are using these monitors for high contact and moderate indoor contact sports. The monitors are for both staff (coaches) and students on the field, regardless if they are vaccinated or unvaccinated. If a student or coach tests positive, we will have immediate information regarding athletes’ and coaches’ contacts, so we can more tightly determine who might need to quarantine,” he continued, sharing the same language posted on the school’s online FAQ page.

Get vaxxed, they said. We’ll let you live a normal life again if only you voluntarily consent to the vaxx, they said. Sorry, we changed our mind, no normal life for you ever again, they said.

Fortunately, the uproar over this was strong enough that fact-checkers were deployed to salvage the Narrative.

High school falsely accused by conservative outlet of forcing unvaccinated teens to wear ankle monitors

h ttps://www.dailydot.com/debug/eatonville-high-school-ankle-monitor-covid/

By Mikael Thalen, 25 August 2021

An article from the Post Millennial asserted that unvaccinated teens at Eatonville High School had been singled out for electronic monitoring as part of a COVID-19 contact tracing program.

The article quickly gained widespread attention among opponents of coronavirus health measures and was even shared by Donald Trump Jr.

.Totally normal stuff guys,. the former president’s son tweeted. .People better start paying attention because this doesn’t end well in my opinion..

Yet the article’s own headline is contradicted in the very first paragraph, which notes that the program was aimed only at students involved in athletics regardless of vaccination status.

.A 15-year-old girl was allegedly forced to wear an ankle tracking monitor for volleyball practice at Eatonville High School in Washington state as a condition of participating in team sports,. the article begins. .This was required of both vaccinated and unvaccinated students..

Haha, Trump voters! We weren’t maltreating unvaxxed students! We were maltreating BOTH vaxxed AND unvaxxed students! The children we singled out were only the student athletes… and you didn’t accuse us of that! Suckers! And honestly, the program would have expanded to the entire school by now if you hadn’t complained about the pilot program.

Speaking over the phone with the Daily Dot, a representative for the Eatonville School District stated that the program is entirely opt-in and requires signed permission slips from parents. The school also says it held a meeting with parents to inform them about the program.

Update 11:12am CT: A spokesperson for Eatonville originally told the Daily Dot that trackers were entirely voluntary. But this morning, the school revised its statement to the Daily Dot to note that students could opt-out, but if they did they would not be allowed to participate in sports.

However, the Post Millennial’s framing that the school was forcing unvaccinated students to wear monitors, the basis of this article, remains untrue. The program was for everyone, not unvaccinated people. The Post Millennial has since updated its own headline to correct its inaccuracies [so it’s not just us who got caught in an easily disproven lie].

“You can trust our fact-checkers because our confessions of cover-up and error are referred to as ‘updates’.”

[Continuing original article]

The devices, known as TraceTags, are designed to monitor which students come into contact with one another only while playing sports. If a student at any point tests positive for COVID-19, the school can use the devices. data to alert other students who may have been exposed.

Alert them that they’re under house arrest for two weeks.

The TraceTags are not specifically designed to be worn on the ankle and, according to the device’s manufacturer Triax, can be “affixed to any hardhat or worn on the body for proximity detection and contact tracing..

We don’t force students to wear ankle monitors! We force them to wear ankle, wrist and/or headband monitors! Totally different!

The district representative noted that the controversy appears to have occurred after a new student attended a volleyball practice and was asked to wear one of the devices. The teen’s mother had reportedly not been made aware of the program and had not signed a permission slip either, signaling a possible oversight on behalf of the school.

This atrocity was neither an oversight nor a controversy. You don’t treat children like inmates!

On Tuesday, the Eatonville High School’s website published an FAQ section that answered questions about the program. The school referred to the devices as “proximity monitors for high contact and moderate indoor contact sports..

.The monitors are for both staff (coaches) and students on the field, regardless of vaccination status,. the statement reads.

Gary Neal, the superintendent for the Eatonville School District, also published a letter addressing the concerns. Neal stated that the sensors were “only worn during participation in the sport” and would allow the school to quickly find any students who may have been exposed.

Why would you need a monitor if the student was playing with a known group of teammates regardless? Answer: “pilot program”. Desensitization.

.This system prevents taking students out of school and athletics unnecessarily,. Neal added. .It allows us to keep more students engaged and involved in class as well as athletic activities. This is a top priority for staff and families here in Eatonville..

It remains unclear if any objections were made to the program by actual students or parents before its spread online this week.

Never mind that the Post Millennial gave the name of at least one parent.

Eatonville told the Daily Dot that it has now shelved the devices until further notice.

Homeschool Or Die has never been truer.

So, about those trackers…

In the Time of COVID-19 . How Will You Maintain Safe Working Distances?

h ttps://www.triaxtec.com/social-distancing-contact-tracing/

Businesses are facing significant challenges in maintaining social distancing guidelines and they lack real-time insight into whether these guidelines are being observed in their facilities.

Leveraging our commercial solution for workforce monitoring we have developed a proximity alert and contact tracing solution . Proximity Trace . to address two key areas of assistance:

• • Active feedback to the worker, in the form of a visual and audible alarm, so individuals know when to adjust their current distance to a proper social distance
  • Passive collection of worker interactions for contact tracing should an individual test positive

It’s an evolution of their flagship product: employee tracking IDs integrated into the Internet Of Things, so Director Pajeet can watch his drones take bathroom breaks in real-time. Valuable efficiency savings to the company!

Mandatory drug tests were only the beginning.

The main device of Proximity Trace, the TraceTag., is affixed to any hardhat or worn on the body for proximity detection and contact tracing. Together we can keep people safer by maintaining social distances in the workplace and help support organizations. strategies for getting back to work.

Being able to properly comply with social distancing guidelines is critical to containing and slowing the spread of COVID-19. Additionally, having a log of all worker interactions for contact tracing, in the event that a worker is diagnosed with COVID-19, will help to accelerate the process for further containment and isolation.

The trackers were originally intended for the workplace not the school. *sigh* I hope the Big Important Executive versions of them have built-in tasers, so the workers can at least enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of Director Pajeet breaking his own rules as a show of status.

I’m not even angry at the Pervert in Chief. It’s beyond obvious that the New World Order is here to stay, that Covid is their Trojan Horse of choice and they’re in a still-unexplained, desperate hurry to vaxx everybody before winter hits.

Methinks this winter is going to wake up a lot of people, one way or another. No, they aren’t awake right now. All the con-servatives losing their minds over Biden’s vaxx pronouncement will do is start some lawsuits that’ll slowly go through the courts like always. Staying inside the Republican Party’s OODA loop is as easy as doing TWO things per year.

Meanwhile, the truly interesting part of Biden’s pronouncement just today is that his faction has decided to rule by fear.

Path out of the Pandemic

h ttps://www.whitehouse.gov/covidplan/

9 September 2021… not 9/11? Weird. Maybe Biden’s no longer available for weekend work… oh, snap! They themselves are scared of anniversary protests! I see a couple articles that they’re putting the Jan. 6 barricades back up….

The “six prongs”:

1. Vaccinating the Unvaccinated

The attention-grabber of the article. It’s fascinating that Bidenreich didn’t wait for the current crop of vaxx mandates to go into effect before demanding them for 90% of the entire workforce of the United States.

Which is the point. This is nationalization of the American economy… but NOT under the Federal government. Under the medical bureaucracies.

Something makes them want to vaxx-mandate everybody all at once because they didn’t wait for the first round to go into effect. My guess is they don’t want to allow people any perceived opportunities to escape a local or industry-specific one. It’s a fear tactic that could have worked if job vacancies weren’t skyrocketing, and if the kind of people who still refuse the vaxx weren’t the people keeping the factory running.

2. Further Protecting the Vaccinated

HAHAHAAAA! You suck, Fascist foreign Puritan pigs! “First, we must vaxx the doubters because the vaxx will keep us safe! Second, we must take extra measures because the vaxx is not enough!” No, no, let me quote them verbatim:

There are over 175 million fully vaccinated Americans who are largely protected from severe illness from COVID-19. While so-called “breakthrough infections” among this group do happen, they remain the exception: In fact, recent data indicates there is only 1 confirmed positive case per 5,000 fully vaccinated Americans per week.

But COVID-19 vaccination protection can be made even stronger.

The vaxx is 99.98% effective, which is why we still can’t allow you to live a normal life!

And it’s not actually funny because 60% of North America actually believes that… believes simultaneously that the vaxx is all you need and the vaxx will never be enough.

I keep expecting the Matrix to glitch, know what I mean? Life right now is surreal. Humans do not normally behave like this. “Get the vaxx or DIE! Okay, now get the NEXT vaxx or DIE! See you in another six months… or DIE! We validate parking… or DIE!” and people fall for this?!

3. Keeping Schools Safely Open

The easiest way to justify tyranny is to terrorize the population. Thus, forcing children to attend school (the last thing you’d do in a real pandemic) and terrorizing them with fear porn while dehumanizing & literally stifling them with masks. This.. the deliberate creation of emotionally stunted children who cannot survive outside a social context less structured than a Supermax prison… will ensure the continued survival of the New World Order better than any policy they could enact.

If the friendlier governments of America do not shut down public education completely, immediately and permanently, then it won’t matter what else they do. They even got the justification sitting in front of them: C-19. But they won’t and here’s the inevitable result:

President Biden’s plan supports the independent scientific review of a vaccine for those individuals under the age of 12 and will provide the FDA with any needed resources to support its ongoing efforts to do this safely and as quickly as possible.

They’re going to “vaxx” children as young as they can. It’s all about violating the children. Sodomized boys become homosexuals. Terrorized boys become slaves. Sick boys need lots of expensive health care. Why would Pfizer want you healthy? They’d lose a customer.

4. Increasing Testing & Requiring Masking

This is a shift away from the institutions of D.C. to the institutions of the Medical-Industrial Complex, the other MIC, and it’s probably not a coincidence that the original MIC just got cleaned out by the Afghanistan debacle. I would not be surprised if a “terrorist attack” literally nukes the Pentagon or Langley in a few months. The banksters are shifting the New World Order’s controls to their personal fiefs.

Part of this shift is money laundering. Taxpayer funds go into the Med-MIC’s “testing facilities” which can produce any results they need to, but they need to scale up the testing mandates or the con will be obvious. Mil-MIC is probably getting bled white by this redistribution… losing at the game they invented, which raises the possibility of “terrorist attacks” against NIH and OSHA. And if you think I’m joking about this, notice that Bidenreich and “Mil are fighting over the loyalties all those freshly imported mujahedeen.

5. Protecting Our Economic Recovery

A good economy prevents Covid…

The policies outlined throughout this plan will ensure that we do not return to lockdowns and shutdowns.

…by being held as a hostage! More rule by fear… but again, it’s not (should not be) very convincing. Bidenreich already plans to crash the economy regardless. Cyber Polygon, remember? There’s an Internet crash coming.

Additionally, we will offer new support to small businesses as they continue to weather the surge caused by the Delta variant.

The last help your small business needs is “assistance” from the “gov that created your problems in the first place. Much like taking the vaxx is a bad idea, do not take the Banker’s handout.

6. Improving Care for those with COVID-19

Because the vaxx kept you safe!

President Biden’s plan to continue to combat COVID-19 this fall is comprehensive, science-based and relies on the power of the federal government working hand-in-hand with states, local communities, the private sector, and all Americans to put this pandemic behind us.

Public-private corporatism. AKA Fascism.

So, the battle lines are being drawn for humanity’s final war. A war between literally the coward and the courageous. It is interesting that this coming war will be fought first in a man’s own heart… not by uniforms, blood or weight of duty, but by whether a man chooses to live in fear of death or in confidence that Christ has broken Death’s sting. Whether to live by emotions, lies or truth.

I close with a quote from Mike Tyson: “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.”

What do those young Socialists think? When they see that the first beneficiaries of the Universal Basic Income that they (are programmed to) call for, are murderers? Do they think that the most needy are being helped first, or do they realize that the game is behavior manipulation by the State?

San Francisco “Dream Keeper. Program Will Pay People to End Gun Violence

h ttps://thecrimereport.org/2021/08/31/san-francisco-program-will-pay-people-to-end-gun-violence/

By Andrea Cipriano, 31 August 2021

San Francisco authorities are debuting their latest attempt at combating the rise in gun violence in their city: paying at-risk individuals to not pull the trigger, and for completing life services programs, reports the San Francisco Examiner.

Help me! I’m about to end this effing bag of shit that stole muh fentanyl stash! Don’t make me do this! Oh wait, he already did. *bang* Crime is society’s fault, yo.

The program, called the Dream Keeper Fellowship, will launch as a pilot program in October with just 10 participants, acting as the city’s latest iteration of a guaranteed-income program designed to provide high-risk individuals with $300 a month as a start.

The program will expand to an additional 30 high-risk individuals by the end of the year, officials say.

Over time, as participants hit monthly milestones . like landing a job interview, complying with probation, or consistently meeting with a mentor . they will be able to earn up to $200 more a month. To help keep participants on track, the Dream Keeper Fellowship will pair individuals with newly hired life coaches from the Street Violence Intervention Program (SVIP).

Oh look, a new jobs program. Babysitting for murderers, because capital punishment would work too well. We’ll soon find out how many hybristophiliacs live in the Gay Area.

The theory backing this pilot program is simple, advocates say, noting that the stipend could be enough of an incentive to have someone join, and the change would help them stay engaged.

The theory has failed every time it’s been tried. This is not an anti-crime effort. It is a religious effort. Results are not even expected.

At worst, skeptics are comparing the program to its predecessors, deeming it “cash for criminals..

QED.

However, advocates anticipated pushback, and have been working hard to dispel stigma, arguing that this program will address the root cause of some criminality, the San Francisco Examiner detailed.

Oh, well, if it’s not stigmatized by similarities to past efforts then it has a chance.

Moreover, advocates note that the program would amount to $6,000 annually in stipends . which isn’t enough to live comfortably on, but it could be enough to help deter someone from criminal activity, kick start their life, and avoid incarceration.

.We know that $500 in San Francisco is not a significant amount of money,. said Sheryl Davis, a proponent of the program and executive director of the Human Rights Commission. “But if it’s enough to get you in to talk to folks, and be able to make a plan for your life, then that’s huge..

You can make that in a day as a drug dealer. Especially if you’re willing to off the competition. What’s really going on?

While the stipends won’t come with restrictions, officials aren’t concerned that the funds will be used nefariously by participants. The money received will be placed on a reloadable gift card, and all spending will be tracked by program managers.

This is an experiment in behavior modification via State control of one’s money. The theory they’re testing isn’t just “cash for criminals”, it’s “government control of your bank account for criminals”. One can reasonably expect that the program’s ‘at-risk participants’ will also have government allowances for housing, so the theory being tested here is this:

“Can we redeem a criminal by controlling his finances tightly enough? What if it’s privacy that causes crime, not poverty?”

.There have been studies of guaranteed-income programs in Stockton, and other places, that really track how [at-risk participants] were spending the money and showed that [nefarious spending] was not the case at all,. said David Muhammad, executive director of the National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform. .Folks spent it on transportation and food and bills..

The program is modeled, in part, after the nationally watched Operation Peacemaker Fellowship in Richmond, which offers similar stipends of up to $1,000, according to the San Francisco Examiner.

A 2019 study published in the American Journal of Public Health linked the program to a 55 percent decrease in gun homicides, and 43 percent decline in shootings since it began in 2010, giving San Francisco officials hope at the successes of this budding program.

If the drop wasn’t overnight then this is a very weak argument of correlation implying causation. Particularly since around 2016, blacks stopped committing any crimes at all.

This latest reform effort comes as gun violence rates have soared in San Francisco, after years of gun crimes being on the decline. Unfortunately, it’s a pattern being seen around the nation, even in cities like Oakland that already have cash incentive programs, the San Francisco Examiner details.

It doesn’t matter that it won’t work. The Original Murderer must be worshiped!

After years of gun crimes being on the decline, violent felons were released en masse from prisons because nobody deserves to risk a bad flu. How did mercy for murderers work? Not so well? Eh, we didn’t try hard enough.

According to ABC News, San Francisco police say the gun crimes they respond to are unlike crimes they’ve seen in decades, noting that the rising amount of assault rifles and shotguns dwarf the number of handguns and revolvers being seen on the streets.

No.

Hayward Police Chief Toney Chaplin showed ABC News reporters a 100 round magazine clip the police department recently seized . but the gunman is still at large.

That must be a .22 magazine since it’s not a belt. Which as I just said, is neither an assault rifle nor a shotgun.

To that end, assault rifles are not the only weapons San Francisco police are struggling to combat and confiscate: ghost guns are on the rise.

Ghost guns, untraceable and unregulated firearms that anyone can buy and build without a background check, have become more popular among Bay Area criminals.

.Ghost guns are a massive problem in San Francisco . they are becoming increasingly involved in murders, attempted murders, and assaults with firearms,. District Attorney Chesa Boudin said earlier this month at a press conference.

Why the segue into ghost guns at the end of this article? The cashless society will not just be trackable money on a microchip. The government will be able to dictate what that money can be spent on. After all, you cannot become a “gunman” if the bank stops you from purchasing a gun. Thus, the need to end the existence of ghost guns.

Thus, this program to control murderers’ economic lives tightly enough to ensure that crime cannot happen. With government-agent supervision for their off-time.

Except government crime, of course. *Points at Weatherman Terrorist-spawn Chesa Boudin*
