Liberals Institutionalizing Poor Behavior Is Dragging America Down

Posted by M. C. on December 16, 2023

Americans are being conditioned to accept substandard and even criminal behavior as the new norm, Robert Bridge writes.

On the tranquil campus of Yale University, almost 80 percent of all grades given to undergraduates last academic year were A’s or A minuses, a trend that is also happening at Harvard. Let’s face it, these kids are smart, but they’re not that smart.

From teenagers engaged in violence without punishment, to university students receiving undeserved marks, Americans are being conditioned to accept substandard and even criminal behavior as the new norm.

This week, discount carrier Southwest Airlines was heralded by “customers of size” (i.e. obese passengers) after it was reported they could receive additional seats to accommodate their extra-wide bodies.

At first glance, the new conditions seem perfectly reasonable as they provide the ‘special need’ fliers the ability to “purchase the necessary number of seats prior to travel to ensure the additional seat(s) is available.” In other words, if a plus-size traveler feels the need to buy an extra seat – or even an entire aisle – to feel comfortable, then who cares, right? However, Southwest’s new policy goes further than that. It awards the overweight passenger with a gratuitous seat(s) to accommodate their bursting waistlines.

“You may contact us for a refund of the cost of additional seating after travel,” according to Southwest, citing its Customer of Size and Extra Seat Policy. “If it’s determined that a second (or third) seat is needed, you’ll be accommodated with a complimentary additional seat.”

For those who may be tempted to defend the rights of these extra-large fliers, you may wish to read the fine print first. As Fox Business reported, the Southwest flight team could be forced to shift other passengers around for the “unplanned accommodation.”

Imagine that you are comfortably seated in the coveted aisle seat, your luggage is stowed away overhead, when you are suddenly informed by the stewardess that you must relinquish your paid place to a person who has made a lifestyle choice to be overweight (only a tiny fraction of individuals suffer from obesity due to an untreatable medical condition). How will such a demand fly with the majority of paying customers? The question is not an idle one. According to the CDC, 42.4% of U.S. adults are currently obese. That’s a substantial increase from the 30.5% measured in 2000.

Meanwhile, it could be argued that a great many travelers also have ‘special needs’ that require accommodation, like small screaming toddlers and extra luggage. No airline gives away free seats to families with young offspring, nor do they provide allowances for passengers who exceed the weight limit on their bags. Therefore, it seems fair and logical that overweight passengers should also be required to pay a penalty – or at the very least, not be rewarded – for bringing excess weight into the aircraft. That’s because ‘free’ seats for the obese entail hidden costs (higher fuel costs, for example, which is why airlines charge customers for excess weight on their luggage) that will ultimately be paid in the form of higher tickets prices. Whatever the case may be, it will be interesting to see how many more in-flight brawls are instigated by this new in-flight ‘service.’

Enjoy July 4 this Sunday. It might be the last one. – PaulCraigRoberts.org

Posted by M. C. on July 3, 2021

”This is the cost of talking to white people at all. The cost of your own life, as they suck you dry. There are no good apples out there. White people make my blood boil. …
I had fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way, burying their body and wiping my bloody hands as I walked away relatively guiltless with a bounce in my step. Like I did the world a f***ing favor.” https://www.unz.com/article/expressions-of-anti-white-hatred-in-high-places-aruna-khilanani-at-yale/

As the white population is a tiny percentage of the world population, the guillotine won’t have to operate for long.

So, enjoy Sunday, your last July 4th celebration. By next year the demonization of white civilization by the anti-white regime of Kamala/Biden, the New York Times, CNN, NPR, US corporations, critical race theory, and US universities will have outlawed July 4th as a day of shame when a white racist country was created.

Paul Craig Roberts

Yes, really. The Fourth of July is no longer an event to be celebrated. It has become a day of shame and remorse. On that day a systemic racist country was created that brought slavery and oppression to blacks. The Founding Fathers created the Constitution in order to legitimize slavery. Don’t just take it from me. To confirm that July 4 is a day of infamy just consult the New York Times’ 1619 Project, CNN, NPR, the critical race theory taught in your local school system, and in your son or daughter’s university or ask Kamala or Biden.

Formerly, the solution was restitution. The US government was to turn over buckets full of white taxpayers’ money to blacks to compensate them for a labor system that ended 156 years ago. But today that doesn’t suffice. Restitution alone doesn’t fix the problem of systemic racism, that is, the fact that every white person is a racist by virtue of skin color. If you are white, you are racist by definition. This problem can only be solved by “eliminating whiteness.”

For some radicals “eliminating whiteness” is meant literally. Speaking at Yale University’s School of Medicine on the topic of “The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind,” psychiatrist Aruna Khilanani expresses how she would like to go about it:

”This is the cost of talking to white people at all. The cost of your own life, as they suck you dry. There are no good apples out there. White people make my blood boil. …
I had fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way, burying their body and wiping my bloody hands as I walked away relatively guiltless with a bounce in my step. Like I did the world a f***ing favor.” https://www.unz.com/article/expressions-of-anti-white-hatred-in-high-places-aruna-khilanani-at-yale/

But for now for most of the advocates of “eliminating whiteness,” what is meant is erasing Western civilization. All aspects of it. Monuments are to be taken down—and not only Confederate heroes but also George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abe Lincoln, and most certainly Christopher Columbus. Along with the monuments, which include graveyard markers, are books and movies, such as “Gone With The Wind” and Joel Chandler Harris’ marvelous stories of Br’er Rabbit and Br’er Fox. Everything is racist and has to go. Recently IKEA employees walked off the job because they were served fried chicken and watermelon, foods associated with the South and thereby racist. https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2021/06/24/brainwashed-americans/

The IKEA employee walk-off shows how advanced repudiating whiteness has progressed. It is a very serious situation. If a white person defends himself against the charge that he is a racist, his defense is regarded as proof that he is a racist.

First white culture is eliminated. All achievements are dismissed as racist, including the US Constitution. With the elimination of the culture goes the past, and thereby the present and the future. As more and more white persons are brainwashed into their guilt and lose the ability to resist their demonization, those who speak of white people in the same terms that some Nazis spoke of Jews, become more aggressive and roll out the guillotine.

Psychoanalyst Donald Moss is ready and waiting. He declares that “Whiteness is a malignant, parasitic like condition.” https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9670579/Psychoanalyst-condemned-paper-branding-whiteness-malignant-parasitic-like-condition.html
This is the way Lenin spoke of the bourgeoisie and Stalin spoke of the kulaks—“break their resistance, eliminate them as a class”

What is the solution to the whiteness problem? Physical elimination.

In Jean Raspail’s novel, “The Camp of the Saints,” physical elimination of white people occurs everywhere in Europe and also in a decadent Europeanized Russia. White people cease to exist.

Initially killing is the solution to “malignant parasitic whiteness.” But an easier solution is found. White persons are prohibited from marrying white persons.

White and black make chocolate. And that is the goal of US corporate advertising. See for yourself: https://counter-currents.com/2018/03/the-war-against-whites-in-advertising/
Chocolate eliminates whiteness.

For millenniums a tiny white component of the world population stood against barbarism and formed ethnic nations. The British spread their ethnicity into lands that became the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

The British and French spread their culture into Asia and Africa, and English became a universal language. The Spanish and Portuguese spread their language and culture into Latin America.

Now the tide has reversed. All of Europe have lost confidence. Europeans have been beat down by their own intellectuals and governments. They are unable to resist the immigrant-invaders who are over-running them. Their governments take the side of the immigrant-invaders over the ethnic residents of the country, be they French, German, Italian, or Scandinavian.

Ethnic French, such as Marine Le Pen, and ethnic Germans who attempt to provide political leadership are demonized as “fascists” and “nazis,” as was Enoch Powell who early saw the future as did Jean Raspail. The French and German ethnicities, what remains of them, are without protection from immigrant-invaders who are overturning their culture and their place in their own country.

The European Union welcomes this as do the leaders of the Western European member countries. The French President, the German Chancellor, the Swedish government represent the interests of the nonwhite immigrant invaders, and not the interests of the ethnic French and Germans and Scandinavians.

The British tried to justify their empire by giving members of the empire access to life in Great Britain. The British then doubled the error by joining the European Union, thus being required to accept a quota of non-British immigrant-invaders. Consequently, today London, the capitol of the UK, is only 40% English. London has a Muslin Mayor.

New Zealand is about to give part of the country that English ethnicities built back to the original aboriginal inhabitants. Australia seems not far behind. The Canadian government prefers dark-skinned immigrants to its ethnic English inhabitants.

White people through their achievements had a worldwide influence. But they have lost confidence and have permitted themselves to be set-up for elimination.

As the white population is a tiny percentage of the world population, the guillotine won’t have to operate for long.

So, enjoy Sunday, your last July 4th celebration. By next year the demonization of white civilization by the anti-white regime of Kamala/Biden, the New York Times, CNN, NPR, US corporations, critical race theory, and US universities will have outlawed July 4th as a day of shame when a white racist country was created.

US Government & Yale Hold Clinical Trials On How Best to ‘Persuade’ Americans to Take COVID-19 Vaccine – Collective Evolution

Posted by M. C. on August 4, 2020

 As more credible information about vaccinations and their associated dangers circles the internet and informs people, their choice to not vaccinate in certain situations is increasing. As noted by The World Health Organization, even doctors are starting to question and have a lack of trust in vaccines. Because of all of this, I believe pharmaceutical companies now have to work harder to convince people to get vaccines so their profits can stay where they are at. We are seeing the power of free and open media. You can likely guess you would not see a story like this nor honest coverage about vaccines in mainstream media.

https://www.collective-evolution.com/2020/08/03/us-government-yale-hold-clinical-trials-on-how-best-to-persuade-americans-to-take-covid-19-vaccine/

In Brief

  • The Facts:The US government and Yale University collaborate in a clinical trial to determine the best messaging to persuade Americans to take the COVID-19 vaccine.
  • Reflect On:Why do people need to be persuaded? Is it possible they have a lack of trust in public health recommendations for good reason?

What Happened: The US Federal government in collaboration with Yale University held clinical trials to determine what the best messaging would be to persuade Americans to take the COVID-19 vaccine when it is ready. The news of this study does show an interest in finding the best way to persuade people into an ideal decision for the Federal government, and likely vaccine makers, and it also shows that a mandatory vaccine campaign may still be the plan B down the road, as opposed to plan A.

The official title of the trial is, “Persuasive Messages for COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake: a Randomized Controlled Trial, Part 1.”

–>FREE Documentary Starts Today: Discover the latest breakthroughs in alternative treatmennts that are scientifically proven to successfully prevent and treat cancer. Click here to save your spot!

According to the brief summary for trial:

This study tests different messages about vaccinating against COVID-19 once the vaccine becomes available. Participants are randomized to 1 of 12 arms, with one control arm and one baseline arm. We will compare the reported willingness to get a COVID-19 vaccine at 3 and 6 months of it becoming available between the 10 intervention arms to the 2 control arms.

Study participants are recruited online by Lucid, which matches census based sampling in online recruitment.

The study essentially looks at the best possible messaging that can be used on Americans, ranging from expressing vaccine benefits, to using messaging about economic impact, making someone feel guilty or embarrassed for not taking the vaccine, and so on.

The study looked at around 4000 participants aged 18 years and up, all of whom had to be US residents of course.

The various ‘arms’ used in the study when it came to messaging were as follows:

Other: Control message
Other: Baseline message
Other: Personal freedom message
Other: Economic freedom message
Other: Self-interest message
Other: Community interest message
Other: Economic benefit message
Other: Guilt message
Other: Embarrassment message
Other: Anger message
Other: Trust in science message
Other: Not bravery message

Interestingly, the study also looked at various social elements involved in vaccination, see below:

Primary Outcome Measures  :

  1. Intention to get COVID-19 vaccine [ Time Frame: Immediately after intervention, in the same survey in which the intervention message is provided ]
    This is a self reported measure, immediately after the intervention message, of the likelihood of getting a COVID-19 vaccination within 3 months and then 6 months of it becoming available. During analysis, responses among those assigned to different intervention messages will be compared to those in the control group.

Secondary Outcome Measures  :

  1. Vaccine confidence scale [ Time Frame: Immediately after intervention, in the same survey in which the intervention message is provided ]
    This is a validated scale. This scale will be used to assess the impact of the messages on vaccine confidence. (Outcome assessed only for the half of the sample that answers these items post-treatment)
  2. Persuade others item [ Time Frame: Immediately after intervention, in the same survey in which the intervention message is provided ]
    This is a measure of a willingness to persuade others to take the COVID-19 vaccine.
  3. Fear of those who have not been vaccinated [ Time Frame: Immediately after intervention, in the same survey in which the intervention message is provided ]
    This is a measure of a comfort with an unvaccinated individual visiting an elderly friend after a vaccine becomes available
  4. Social judgment of those who do not vaccinate [ Time Frame: Immediately after intervention, in the same survey in which the intervention message is provided ]
    This is a scale composed of 4 items measuring the trustworthiness, selfishness, likeableness, and competence of those who choose not to get vaccinated after a vaccine becomes available.

Why This Matters: As more credible information about vaccinations and their associated dangers circles the internet and informs people, their choice to not vaccinate in certain situations is increasing. As noted by The World Health Organization, even doctors are starting to question and have a lack of trust in vaccines. Because of all of this, I believe pharmaceutical companies now have to work harder to convince people to get vaccines so their profits can stay where they are at. We are seeing the power of free and open media. You can likely guess you would not see a story like this nor honest coverage about vaccines in mainstream media.

The Takeaway: Humanity is waking up to truths that have long been held hidden behind the lack of honest media and government. As we begin to understand what is truly going on behind the scenes, we are beginning to ask even deeper questions. Why have we not be told the full story? Why do we give up our power to those who do not have our best interests at heart? What role are they playing in the awakening of humanity? Who are we? Why are we truly here and why are we not thriving as a global society? What is truly holding us back?

These questions lead us inwards to explore the true nature of who we are. Do we really lack the solutions in our world to allow humanity to thrive? Or is it that human consciousness is suppressed and stuck in a story of separation? Raising human consciousness is the solution we’re looking for.

Be seeing you

George Will: Yale offers tutorial in social descent

Posted by M. C. on September 5, 2017

It is hard to imagine American educational institutions becoming any more pathetic.

http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/08/30/george-will-yale-offers-tutorial-in-silliness-and-social-descent/

The carving, according to Yale Alumni Magazine, depicts “a hostile encounter: a Puritan pointing a musket at a Native American.” Actually, the Native American and the Puritan are looking not hostilely at each other but into the distance. Still, one can’t be too careful, so the musket has been covered with stone. This is unilateral disarmament: The Native American’s weapon, a bow, has not been covered up. Perhaps Yale thinks that armed white men are more “triggering” (this academic-speak means “upsetting to the emotionally brittle”) than armed people of color. National Review Online’s Kyle Smith drolly worries that Yale might be perpetuating harmful stereotypes.
