It’s been said that only “White People” can be Racist

Education, Social commentary / August 10, 2018
Let’s meet Ms. Sarah Jeong.

Born in South Korea in 1988, came to U.S.A. when she was three.

Now here is a little background of the country of her birth.

Although a variety of different Asian peoples had migrated to the Korean Peninsula in past centuries, few have remained permanently, so by 1990 both South Korea and North Korea numbered among the world’s most ethnically homogeneous nations. The indigenous minorities population amounted to negligible number. In South Korea, people of foreign origin, including Westerners, Chinese, and Japanese, amounted to a small percentage of the population who generally resided in the country temporarily.

Like their Japanese neighbors, Koreans tend to equate nationality or citizenship with membership in a single, homogeneous ethnic group or “race” (minjok, in Korean). Koreans view a common language and culture as important elements in Korean identity. The idea of multiracial or multi-ethnic nations, like India or the United States, strikes many Koreans as odd or even contradictory. 

Now we know that Koreans both North and South do have quite a dislike for the Japanese. Which is not surprising  considering 35 years of brutal occupation from 1910 to 1945.

Most far eastern countries, China, Japan The two Korea’s their populations are as mentioned “homogeneous”.  Xenophobic may be too harsh a word…maybe not. In any event she did immigrate from a country that does value its racial purity.

She is oblivious that 68 years ago solders from many western nations (the vast majority I suspect were “white”) saved South Korea from being overrun by the Communist North. Who knows, instead of being indoctrinated in race hatred at UC Berkeley and Harvard law school, she could now be eating rats in one of North Korea’s notorious Prison Camps, or a guard administering the beatings.

The “White people” especially the old “White men” of the Democrat party either agree with her or are too frighten to speak out. They better keep looking over their shoulder.  Their turn will come.

Now we come to the Democrat (Socialist) Party.

Constitution? What Constitution.

 

This is what happens if you escape the plantation.

Candace Owens, along with Charlie Kirk, was shouted out of a restaurant in Philadelphia by a group of antifa thugs. Apparently, it’s now OK (again) for Democrats to harass black women in restaurants. What will be next, burning a cross on her lawn?

What do Democrats in Vermont think about this? Do they not dare speak up…or do they approve?

I wonder?

 

A Slippery Slope?

2nd Amendment / August 7, 2018

April 11th 2018. 

Another small chunk of liberty disappears. 

 

Vermont Republican Gov. Phil Scott… readies to speak before signing the first significant gun-restrictions bills in the state’s history during a ceremony on the steps of the State House in Montpelier

 

Gun rights advocates in the state generally support taking guns away from people deemed dangerous or prone to domestic violence, both covered by the new legislation. But they fiercely oppose provisions in the laws that raise the age to buy firearms from 18 to 21, restrict the size of gun magazines and require background checks for most private gun sales.

 

But supporters of the restrictions say the time has come in Vermont.

“I think it sends a signal that the cultural shift … is huge in Vermont, and I don’t think there is anything in these bills that are going to take guns away from any law-abiding person”.

Well, after Oct 1st these ‘pieces’ cannot be ‘legally’ sold in Vermont.
That’s taking something away. 
No denying,  school shootings suck.  But considering the sausage factory that K-12 education  indoctrination has become, especially for the young ‘white male’ should we really be surprised when someone goes off the deep end.

Meanwhile they pat themselves on the back. They did “something” that in the end will do “nothing”.

As the sign says, “Get them before they’re gone”.  Before what used to be Vermont is gone.

No one seems to be riding out of town on a rail…yet.

Social commentary / July 29, 2018
Nearly a year ago these baby’s made big news!
 
Passenger rail service may soon be coming to the Barre-Montpelier area. Seven Budd rail diesel cars — “Budliners” — arrived in the area from Texas on Tuesday for storage at the former Bombardier plant in Barre Town in anticipation of their future use in both central and western Vermont. Greeting the rail cars as they arrived were John Hollar and Thomas Lauzon, mayors of Montpelier and Barre, respectively. The Budliner passenger cars are seen as the centerpiece of a transportation system that could pave the way to helping meet net zero-energy emission goals in Vermont. 
It’s Ironic that Libs and Progressives sometime accuse Republicans of wanting to take America back to the Fifties.

And back on Sept 12th  2017    Vermont visionary David Blittersdorf had bad news and good news.

The bad news, he says, is that the nation and world will run out of oil and face catastrophic collapse at local, national and global levels. The good news is that a combination of conservation and renewable energy sources can avert a crisis, but it will require a concerted effort — and commitment — to do so. 

Blittersdorf’s latest pitch on the renewal energy front is to bring back passenger rail service in central Vermont with 1950s-era self-propelled diesel rail cars. It’s his latest salvo that has included pioneering progress in wind and solar energy programs in the state. For Blittersdorf, the writing is on the wall, but he hopes to help rewrite the dismal history of the future.

More than once, he described his plan as “Back to the Future” that will transform the way Vermonters travel while helping to cut the state’s dependence on fossil fuels and combat climate change in an effort to become 90 percent net-zero carbon free by 2050.

But on March 12th of this year Mr. Blittersdorf had this to say…

Commuter rail service isn’t returning to the Granite City anytime soon and a man who has bet big on a railroad renaissance in Vermont said Monday his 12 stainless steel trains are at least a year away from leaving any station.

David Blittersdorf, of AllEarth Rail, had hoped the first of the two-directional, self-contained Budd Co. cars he purchased from Dallas Area Rapid Transit for $5 million two years ago would be carrying passengers this year. However, he told members of the Barre Area Development Corp.’s Board of Directors that was an overly optimistic projection.

Blittersdorf’s revised estimate can be summed up in three words: maybe next year, though he conceded that is far from certain and bringing the service to Barre is more of a dream than a priority.

As Kermit the Frog would say “It’s not easy being green”

Last time I checked here they set in back of the old Bombardier rail car factory.

But maybe the solution isn’t ‘Budd’ but ‘Budd light’.

The city of Montpelier has applied for a $250,000 grant to study launching a light rail service in central Vermont….

the grant application followed a declaration by Montpelier in 2014 of its goal to become carbon neutral by 2030. In 2016, the Montpelier Energy Action Committee partnered with NetZero Vermont on a design contest to advance the vision of a low-carbon future for the city and the region.

All in the name of of “saving the planet”.

Commuter rail cannot operate without massive subsidies of taxpayer money.  Even in big cities with large populations.

Back to the 1950’s ? Let’s try for 1900.

Forward into the past!

Trains were the equivalent then of air travel today.  Back when roads were impassable at certain times of the year and taking a horse and buggy to Boston was just not practicable.
They were able to operate in the black.  Not any more.
  ” The dismal history of the future” will only happen if “progressives” gain control of it. 

Of course the Russians have been meddling

Russia, Socialism / July 21, 2018

It’s be going on a long long time.

34 years ago, a KGB defector chillingly predicted modern America

In 1984, Bezmenov gave an interview to G. Edward Griffin from which much can be learned today. His most chilling point was that there’s a long-term plan put in play by Russia to defeat America through psychological warfare and “demoralization”. It’s a long game that takes decades to achieve but it may already be bearing fruit.

And this explains why young millennials in general and leftist millennials in particular seem to be oblivious to the facts that can be seen right before their eyes. That they have deluded themselves to an ideology that produces nothing but abject misery and the destruction of liberty.  And the lessons of history mean absolutely  nothing.

 

He used the examples of 1960s hippies coming to positions of power in the ’80s in the government and businesses of America. Bezmenov claimed this generation was already “contaminated” by Marxist-Leninist values. Of course, this claim that many baby boomers are somehow espousing KGB-tainted ideas is hard to believe but Bezmenov’s larger point addressed why people who have been gradually “demoralized” are unable to understand that this has happened to them.

Referring to such people, Bezmenov said:

“They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern [alluding to Pavlov]. You can not change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still can not change the basic perception and the logic of behavior.”

What is happening right now in Venezuela just doesn’t seem to register.

And this is the most disturbing part.

In what is perhaps a most striking passage in the interview, here’s how Bezmenov described the state of a “demoralized” person:

“As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore,” said Bezmenov. “A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures; even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him [a] concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it, until he [receives] a kick in his fan-bottom. When a military boot crashes his balls then he will understand. But not before that. That’s the [tragedy] of the situation of demoralization.” 

Joe McCarthy in my opinion has been vindicated.

They have taken control of academia, the media, and the culture.

 

This is how a state like Vermont can go from this.   

To this.

The left came so close, Hence the fury.

We live in interesting times.

 

 

Are school teachers educating or indoctrinating ?

deranged Libs, Education / July 6, 2018

 Well in Minnesota it looks like the latter

As teachers perused booths retailing titles such as “Marxist Education,” “A World to Win, the Life and Works of Karl Marx,” and “How Capitalism Underdeveloped Black America,” some attendees questioned the legitimacy of the union as a representative body. As one vendor put it, “do you really think that the average joe, like a normal guy just off the street would come in here and be like yeah- this is what I think a teachers union should look like?”

A sampling of books at the convention.

 

Teachers on the march for open borders.

These people teach our children and you taxpayer pay for it.

 

Marxism, socialism, communism, has brought nothing but poverty misery, and death besides robbing people of their liberty.

Ah, but we’ve never had the right people in charge, this time we’ll get it right.

There were a few brave souls there

Exhibitors at the only 4 conservative leaning booths such as this one reported facing aggression from their fellow union members.

Fortunately not all teacher are deranged libs

But thanks to the 5-4 ruling in the Janus  v. AFSCME decision by the Supreme Court more then a few teachers are breathing a sigh of relief.

“The average teacher joins a union because they want job protection from the whim of administration going AWOL,” says yet another anonymous teacher from California, afraid of union retribution should his name be distributed. Unfortunately, this idea that unions should exist for the protection of jobs has fallen by the wayside in the age of #Resist and #AbolishIce.

Fortunately, things are beginning to look up for teachers who just want to do their job with the recent 5-4 decision of the Supreme Court on Janus v. AFSCME. This ruling affirms for the first time that public sector employees are not required to give their hard earned dollar to a labor union. For teachers like Paul or Christine, this means that freedom from the hyper political unions can now become a reality.

It’s no different here in Vermont, rather then the teach the three “R’s  it’s how to be a S.W.J.

If I could say just two words to the youth of America…Venezuela, Look!!!!

It’s happening right before your eyes.

Is it dawning on “LEFT” that Bernie is an “OLD WHITE MALE”?

Bernie Sanders, deranged Libs / July 3, 2018
Is the “radical left” realizing that Bernie is an “OLD”WHITE MALE”.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) is facing rebuke from progressive activists and the far left of the Democratic Party for declining to call for the abolishment of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

Is the revolution going to fast Bernie?

Sanders’ failure to come out strongly against ICE — combined with poorly-timed statemSanders’ failure to come out strongly against ICE — combined with poorly-timed ents scolding the Red Hen Restaurant for refusing to serve Sarah Huckabee Sanders earlier this week — have some of the senator’s strongest supporters wondering if he is still the voice of the left, or if his recent rise into the nation’s top 1% of wage earners is tarnishing his image as a warrior for the working class.

 

 

Jeremey Scahill, a journalist who alongside Glen Greenwald founded The Intercept—a liberal-leaning online publication—in 2014, perhaps best summed up the growing sentiment on the left. The journalist took to social media shortly after the interview was broadcast to lambast the 76-year-old senator for having chosen to stand on the “wrong side of history.”

“Then Sanders is choosing to be on the wrong side of history on this issue,” Scahill tweeted. “ICE was created under Bush-Cheney and has done what they wanted it to do, particularly under Trump. It can’t be reformed.”

Sanders’ aversion to abolishing ICE triggered similar rebuke from other journalists and outlets on the left, with some even denouncing the self-described Democratic socialist as a “neoliberal,” a term generally reserved for those who favor free-market capitalism above all else, and as a “moderate.”

It wasn’t that long ago Bernie was a rock star.

“Working class hero” to neoliberal, how long before ” enemy of the people” ?

The revolution has a way of eating its own.
