Working the Unity Myth (updated 25mar21)

George Rebane

Today’s Left seeks to suppress and supplant the legacy, history, and practice of Western culture as an evil instantiation of racism and white supremacy.

One of Jo Ann’s recent Union articles (here) addressed the futile attempts in the Left’s ongoing calls for unity, supposedly addressed to people like her – conservative, Christian women who pay very close attention to national affairs and are active in their communities. (more here)  The piece garnered a record reader response in print, online, and snail-mailed letters.  One heartfelt, well-written and long letter from a liberal woman gave Jo Ann kudos and concluded with a strong appeal for all of us to come together.  It is the ongoing flood of appeals like that, appeals that imply coming together is something as simple as throwing an attitudinal switch, that motivates the present reflection.

The fact of the matter, evident to both sides, is that the established mentality of each makes even the first steps to such a reunion highly unlikely.  We both consume vastly different sources of information which define and interpret our everyday reality.  And both sides are convinced that the other’s sources are not only in error, but also purposely evil.  An example of such evil is the CDC’s lying, or “skewing” if you will, about the Covid fatalities as reported in a recent peer- reviewed study (here and here).

Another evident factor of our information sources is how each characterizes the other’s reporting.  The leftwing sources make naked accusations like ‘Fox News lied about X’, and that’s that, no substantiation of what the lie was and where the contradicting truth could be found.  The asymmetry in the reporting is that when FN, or any other rightwing outlet reports a lamestream lie, it cites what the lie was and how it is contradicted by this or that source.

Then we come to the nascent Biden administration, led by Bumblebrain, that promises to become one of the most massive manufacturers of Marxist/communist propaganda and supporting lies as it continues to launch one anti-American policy after another.  Out the gate, we witness the nation’s Covid vaccination program according to Team Biden. Here’s the story as denied daily by the lamestream to our lightly-read neighbors.

Operation Warp Speed was supported by the first and only Covid relief bills under Trump which were used to place massive production orders for doses of the yet to be developed vaccines.  Early last summer Trump put in orders to all the major Big Pharma outfits for 800 million doses, and after November the administration ordered another 200 million doses for a total of one billion doses on order.

It was the advance payment for all these doses that funded the development of the vaccines; that is where Team Trump understood to take risk so as to enable the now historic vaccine development program of 2020 and have the manufacturers start supplying doses at their maximum possible production rates.   In addition, vaccine distribution systems were put in place that employed the resources of DHS, National Guard, and the active military.  Biden has literally done NOTHING more since assuming office, save continue Trump’s programs while issuing a daily spate of lies to the American people dunning the Trump administration, claiming credit for making the vaccines available – including their timely purchasing, and distribution to the states.

All this is documented in the non-partisan GAO reports, and even begrudgingly reported by the left-leaning PolitiFact (as reported on the 14mar21 Mark Levin show).  The latter still attempts to put the onus for “poor planning” on the Trump administration, blaming the inevitable confusion of implementing something never even contemplated before on a national scale.  These people are truly ignorant and/or evil in their characterization of how the most successful vaccine development and distribution program was pulled off.  Most certainly they are doing nothing to unify the country, but quite the opposite.

So today Union’s leftwing columnist Darrell Berkheimer writes a most devious and twisted column (here) advising his readers where to go for reliable information in this world of fake news, corporatist disinformation, and government propaganda.  Predictably he cites the fabulously flawed MediaBias.com, a leftwing media rating site that appears to be in its last orbit around the toilet bowl.  This is the outfit that rates NBC, CBS, ABC, NPR, PBS, AP, NYT, and WaPo as “Neutral – minimal partisan bias or balance of biases”, reporting nothing but news and facts.

These outlets have been known to be anything but ‘balanced’ and impartial news sources.  This has gotten so bad that even members of the judiciary have begun to alert the public.  An example is federal Judge Laurence Silberman of the DC appeals court who wrote that the NYT and WaPo  “are virtually Democratic Party broadsheets.”  He went on to echo an oft-repeated RR dictum that “the first step taken by any potential authoritarian or dictatorial regime is to gain control of communications, particularly the delivery of news.” (more here and here)

Meanwhile, the world’s Berkheimers have not a clue as to what reliable journalism and reporting even looks like.  With such seemingly willful ignorance, they still continue to regale all of us with their virtue signaling calls for ‘unity’.  A most blatant example of Berkheimer’s myopia is that he never even considers that his “reliable” news sources like ABC and CBS never once backed off the years-long Russia collusion Big Lie, they simply continued to quote the Democrat leaders’ evidence-free allegations (e.g. from Schumer, Nadler, Pelosi) as substantiating their own allegations until they ran out of investigations that failed to find any of the evidence they had for years claimed existed.  This kind of outlets are deemed reliable by our liberal neighbors as they continue calling for unity.

So now we again come to the Left’s invitation to national unity while doing everything they can before 2022 to make America into yet one more compliant satrap ready to accept a socialist world order.  Who do they expect to attract and convince once more that theirs is the way for humanity to meld and march into the future?  What none of the unity promoters seem to understand is that step one on such a path is an understanding of what the other sees as the kind of America each wants live in, and what kinds of America each seeks to avoid.

The Left is openly working for a Marxist/Leninist future for all of us.  Society organized under one huge overarching global government run by ideological technocrats who dispense rules and regulations to the masses organized into compliant cohorts of mutually distrustful classes.  These social orders are slated to live according to the provisions in the UN’s Agenda21 plan (here), and now the updated 2030 Agenda adopted at the 2012 Conference on Sustainable Development (here).  In this brave new world, the individual becomes a cypher, minimally distinguishable from his neighbor, all sharing the same thoughts, consuming the same government supplied/curated ‘truths’, and communicating correctly with each other as prescribed.

The Right is working to maintain the considerable and commendable parts of our history, and the constitutionally evolving structure and operation of a government that should be only large enough to provide national security, certain large-scale shared infrastructures, private property rights, guaranteed individual freedoms, and that can maintain America as a minimally regulated sovereign nation-state within a Westphalian world order.  In such a country recognition comes from the bottom up, starting with each person and rewarding him within a social framework that honors the family, individualism, industry, meritocracy, personal initiative, common morals and ethical behavior.

With such vastly divergent visions and goals for the future, how can the exhortations for unity from people like Jo Ann’s well-meaning correspondent ever be achieved.  The attempts at a middle ground have been tried, and they have failed miserably.  Collectivism and its variants of socialism and communism are like virulent cancers that immediately begin metastasizing toward autocracy as its first waypoint on the way to totalitarianism.  We’ve seen it all before.

So as a nation we again stand at a fork in the road, half wanting to go socialist and the other half wanting to maintain and expand the blessings of a prudently regulated capitalist order. There is only one solution to this decision dilemma that will satisfy most Americans.

[24mar21 update]  My bride got another lambasting in the 23mar21 Union (here) from a liberal who, sadly, reflects the same deficiencies that the critics of her previous 12feb21 column on unity heaped on her.  In the latest, a Mr Daryl Grigsby demonstrates that he also did not understand the point of Jo Ann’s column in which she asked how the Democrats’ and Team Biden’s constant broadsides against Republicans and especially Trump supporters are supposed to encourage the tens of millions of irredeemable deplorables to answer their lavishly publicized calls for national unity. 

What none of the liberals have been able to puzzle out with their native logic is that it was Joe Biden who initiated (and continues?) the Democrats’ faux appeal for national unity.  After being sworn in, his actions and those of Dems’ congressional leadership have done everything possible to reject the Republicans and further divide the country.  The question that goes begging is, ‘I’m not the one appealing for unity, you are.  Then how am I supposed to respond to your vituperation and demonstrated my-way-or-the-highway initiatives?’

Grigsby, an African-American, goes on to repeat all the Democrat evidence-free allegations against Trump, the leading ones being (wait for it) racism and white supremacy.  In that process he accuses Jo Ann of not taking “any responsibility for being part of a movement that threatened Blacks, Muslims, Hispanics and frankly did little to nothing for the working class whites (Trump) claimed to represent.”  Given the evidence, that is actual data, of how our minorities fared during the last four years, Grigsby concludes his misguided missive with “nowhere does she even faintly acknowledge she was part of a divisive and racist movement.”

So, we leave the argument where it all started – where is there any basis for common ground, let alone unification?  Today we demonstrate hourly that each side has not only its own worldview (both ontology and epistemology, see below), but also its diametrically opposite goals for the future of our nation.  Apparently, only those of the Right understand this fundamental reality, the Left believes that they will be able to muscle everyone to accept their demonstrably demonic social order for us and the rest of the world.

(Ontology refers to what sort of things exist in the social world and assumptions about the form and nature of that social reality. ... Epistemology is concerned with the nature of knowledge and ways of knowing and learning about social reality.)

[25mar21 update] In today’s Union another worthy responds –

Thank you, Daryl Grigsby, for your clearly stated, intelligent guest column regarding Jo Ann Rebane.  I’ve often considered writing something to counter the lack of compassion and critical thinking I find in her submissions, but I can’t get past my anger to write a coherent letter.  I just decided I would never read any more of her nonsense. … I cannot understand why some people hate anyone who is not just like themselves: Asians, Blacks, Jewish, etc.  We are all people who love our country.  There’s your unity.  Bonnie McManus, Grass Valley.

Her failed attempt to write a coherent letter illustrates a dismal state of mind and, again, a hard to comprehend level of ignorance.  Where does she deduce “lack of compassion” and hatred of “anyone who is not like themselves” in Jo Ann’s column that simply asked the question that is repeated by millions of Americans across the country today??  It is scary to think of people like Ms McManus exercising their right to vote.

How can there be unity with 18 US code 2384 in play? Unity with traitors really doesn't work.

[Bill Tozer]

Well, X-man, that is certainly one way of looking at it. Thank goodness for Dr. Rebane allowing hate speech here. Oh, I have been shamed! “I have been a naughty girl, take me to your room” is a bumper sticker I once saw and it stuck in the recesses on my mind.

We done got spanked by the X and I, speaking solely for myself, rather liked it. I can wear my yellow armband with the word Traitor boldly and proudly written across it. Another title to hang on the wall.

Traitors are for war time, my good natured fellow. You mean ‘Unity with seditionists really doesn't work.’ Opps, there I good playing the word Nazi. Mea Culprit. Still recovering from my Youth International Party days. That was short lived. It’s was all about how we would spend the rich man’s money on the hill and how to get it. Class warfare stuff, equity, and milk and honey for all. What’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine. Taxes for thee, but not for me.

What we have here is a major trust issue. Traitor! Traitor! Just like ole John Brennan yelling his head off when Trump met Putin on the World Stage in Helsinki. Add a few of our upset lefty posters. :). They demanded that Trump kick Putin in the nuts, grab the little man, spin him around a few times, then body slam Putin to the floor. Then kick his teeth out and stand triumphantly on Putin’s neck. Then pull out a 6 shooter and put some lead in his head.

Well, diplomacy is not Biden’s strong suit. If China would have ever said what they said to our top diplomat on US soil in Alaska, you know, I know, and the Communist Party of China knew that Trump would have slapped a hundred billion in tariffs on the Chinese Bastards within 24 hours. Trump would have withdrawn our top diplomat instantly and gave the Chi-Coms 24 hours to leave the good ole USA.

Opps. Our former Sec of State Mike P would have got up and walked out, so it would have not been necessary for Trump to pull out the Sec of State. Our adversaries smell weakness. The see how we are caving to Iran, rejoined the Paris Climate Accords (which considers China a developing nation so they can be lax of climate stuff), rejoined the WHO which ran full interference for the Chi-coms, got little Rocketman rattling his sabers again, and....well, ....weakness is blood in the water to the sharks.

And the Wa Post spun Alaska as a show of strength by Biden. As the killer Putin replied, ‘let’s debate tomorrow in front of cameras live and BTW, I hope you are feeling better. Good health, Love, Vladdy the killer.’

[Bill Tozer]

Biden just called a lid? Must have been a strenuous weekend. I guess than means no Putin-Biden live debate today. I was sooo ready for it with all that testosterone being thrust back a d forth.
Trump would have handled that request from our Russian foes (1,000th the threat posed by China) with a non-stop Twitter stream. That would have been awesome.

I can see Putin now saying to Trump, “I have more money” and Trump saying he has more hair and both saying Biden has grafted hair plugs. Diplomacy.

Boring. The Chi-come are real bad dudes, badder than Corn Pop....and we all know Coen Pop was a bad dude, man.

re RX 1119am - Wrong use of 'traitor', but Biden and his team sure as hell qualify for prosecution under our sedition laws.

Well, I guess Boulder did not have strict enough gun laws. May need a few more. But require ID this time for those not already a member of the Religion of Peace.

[RXCross]

6:17 -- "Biden and his team sure as hell qualify for prosecution under our sedition laws." -- on what do you base this assumption? I don't recall Biden encouraging people to over turn an election through violence. Nor do I recall him trying to pressure election officials into committing criminal election fraud by "finding" votes. Where do you come up with this stuff?

[George Rebane]

RX 1015am – We have noted that you use terms like ‘treason’ without a clue as to their meaning. On the other hand, ‘sedition’ has a broad range of meanings, the main of which is – “incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority” (Merriam-Webster) Joe Biden, and now his entire administration, have incited an entire tsunami of aliens to charge our border, resist lawful authority in their surreptitious entry, demand treatment according to Democrat manufactured ‘rights’, and purposely enabled them in the hundreds of thousands to disappear into our hinterlands with no idea of their identities, whereabouts, or any hope that they will ever again show their faces to our lawful authorities. The numbers of these illegal aliens, and the impact they have on our public benefit systems and programs, existentially denies Americans of their just due in their intercourse with their government and also in the country’s workplaces. Since Team Biden is now doing this subrosa – e.g. lying to the public about the scope and magnitude of the crisis, and not even letting the press near the border and alien processing facilities – they are blatantly and purposefully flaunting our laws and also their constitutional ‘Job One’ to secure the nation against foreign encroachment. All that is sedition on a grand scale never before experienced in our history.

Herr X - 10:15 - "I don't recall Biden encouraging people to over turn an election through violence. Nor do I recall him trying to pressure election officials into committing criminal election fraud by "finding" votes. Where do you come up with this stuff?"
I don't recall anyone here claiming Biden did do any of that.
Is there someone you can think of that actually did those things?

A fellow traveler of the cross one -

Vice President Kamala Harris' niece said Tuesday she assumed the suspected mass shooter in Colorado was a White man in part because he was taken into custody alive, leading to accusations she engaged in racial profiling.

Meena Harrris was forced to delete a tweet erroneously assuming the race of the suspected killer of 10 people in a Boulder grocery store, after it was revealed he was of Syrian descent.

"The Atlanta shooting was not even a week ago. Violent white men are the greatest terrorist threat to our country," Meena Harris tweeted on Monday.

Now about that false narrative -

McConnell slammed the Democrats for the "fake history" they have been pushing in regards to the filibuster, and slammed the party for using "the filibuster to kill Sen. Tim Scott’s police reform and anti-lynching bill."

"If our Democratic colleagues really believe what they’re saying, did they themselves use a racist tool against Sen. Scott’s police reform bill last year?" said McConnell. "Did they use a racist relic when they delayed the CARES Act or blocked legislation to protect unborn babies who can feel pain?"

"Or is our colleagues’ story that the filibuster was not an offensive relic as recently as last summer, but magically became an offensive relic the instant Democrats came to have a majority?" added the Republican Leader.

Sasse also took a dig at the Democrats for their racism charges against the filibuster during his speech on the Senate floor, pointing out they called the filibuster "an essential American institution that forced compromise."

DEMOCRATS HATE FILIBUSTER NOW BUT USED IT TO BLOCK GOP LEGISLATION UNDER TRUMP

"But now that it can be occasionally used to resist a 51-50, strict majoritarian exercise in power, it’s supposedly exclusively a relic of slavery and a tool of Jim Crow," Sasse said. "It’s nonsense, and the people saying it know that it’s nonsense."

Sasse pointed out that the Democrats had used the filibuster last year and "weren’t racist" when they used it. He then called the racism charges used in calls to end the filibuster "BS that’s been focus-grouped."

More about the NYT as a bird cage liner. Not good enough to wrap fish. I certainly would not let any fish touch that used menstrual cloth of a rag:

The Latest Left-Wing Anti-American Lie: 'Anti-Asian Racism'
It's all a lie in service to the left's hatred of America.

“.... The study cited by The Washington Post, The New York Times, CNN and the other left-wing media is from the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino. The 150% increase in anti-Asian American hate crimes is contained in its “Fact Sheet: Anti-Asian Prejudice March 2020,” according to which the number of anti-Asian American incidents rose from 49 in 2019 to 122 in 2020. So, the entire edifice of hate against Asian Americans is predicated on an alleged increase of 73 incidents.

Given that there are about 330 million Americans, and assuming a different American was responsible for each of the 122 anti-Asian incidents, that would mean that 1 in every 2,704,918 Americans committed an anti-Asian incident. And “incident” includes perceived slights.

As regards violent acts against Asian Americans, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics from September 2019, blacks have committed the greatest percentage of violent crimes against Asian Americans. But the mendacious media do not report that.”.....

“If one reads past the headline — which most people do not — the article gives the actual numbers: “The number of hate crimes with Asian-American victims reported to the New York Police Department jumped to 28 in 2020, from just three the previous year.””

Quotes.

Insight: “It is bad to be oppressed by a minority, but it is worse to be oppressed by a majority.” —Lord Acton (1834-1902)

Upright: “We are among the biggest fools in history if we keep on paying people to make us hate each other. Whether it is called by pretty names like ‘multiculturalism,’ ‘diversity’ or ‘gender awareness,’ that is what it all boils down to. Endless repetition does not make something true.” —Thomas Sowell

Political futures: “Republicans who don’t stand up to the left’s gender madness are useless. This is a hard line issue. No capitulating. No compromise. Our side is 100 percent right. The other side is 100 percent wrong. They should get no concession and no consideration.” —Matt Walsh

Observations: “It should be borne in mind that the first step taken by any potential authoritarian or dictatorial regime is to gain control of communications, particularly the delivery of news. It is fair to conclude, therefore, that one-party control of the press and media is a threat to a viable democracy.” —Federal Judge Laurence Silberman, DC Circuit for the Court of Appeals

For the record: “The Biden administration is still trying to blame President Trump for what’s going on the border right now. They’re ignoring the fact that — I don’t care if you love President Trump or hate him. You cannot deny the fact that he gave us the most secure border in my career, which is almost thirty-five years. I started in 1984 as a Border Patrol agent. I spent my entire career on border enforcement, immigration enforcement, and President Trump got it right. He had unprecedented success on that border. … Joe Biden has sold out this country to the progressive left to win an election. … This isn’t incompetence. This is by design. This is an open borders agenda that we all knew was coming.” —former ICE Acting Director Tom Homan

The BIG Lie I: “The prior administration dismantled the orderly and safe way that these children could make their claims. … It takes time because the entire system was dismantled. We are working on it and we will succeed because that is what we do.” —Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas

The BIG Lie II: “The border is secure. The border is closed. We’ve been unequivocal in that and we are operationalizing our processes, executing our plans. We are a nation of laws, and we treat vulnerable children humanely. We can do it, and we are doing it.” — Alejandro Mayorkas

The BIG Lie III: “I think we are executing on our plans and, quite frankly, when we are finished doing so, the American public will look back on this and say we’ve secured our border and we upheld our values and our principles as a nation.” — Alejandro Mayorkas

Race bait: “We’re learning again what we’ve always known: Words have consequences. It’s the ‘coronavirus.’ Full stop. … Hate and violence often hide in plain sight. It’s often met with silence that’s been throughout our history, but that has to change because our silence is complicity.” —Joe Biden again falsely blaming racism for the Atlanta murders

Gaslighting: “This shooter [in Atlanta] was able to kill all of these folks the same day he purchased a firearm, but right now what is our [state] legislature doing? They busy … trying to prevent people from being able to vote the same day they register.” —Senator Raphael Warnock

Then (as in Thursday): “I do [support the filibuster] right now, yes. … It’s there and you deal with it, and you find you can deal with it. So, changing it, you have to think: What are the ramifications for the institution?” —Senator Dianne Feinstein | Now (as in Friday): “If … Republicans continue to abuse the filibuster by requiring cloture votes, I’m open to changing the way the Senate filibuster rules are used.” —Dianne Feinstein

And last… “This six-foot distancing requirement has probably been the single costliest mitigation tactic that we’ve employed in response to COVID.” —former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, MD

Unity myth.

Democrat Senator Tammy Duckworth: I Will Only Vote For Biden Nominees Who Are ‘Racial Minorities,’ ‘LGBTQ’

-Patrice Lee Onwuka, director of Independent Women’s Forum, responded to Duckworth’s remarks by writing: “This is disgusting. I am a black woman and I don’t believe that senators should approve or deny cabinet nominees based on their skin color. That is not progress but racism.”

-Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) responded by writing: “Remember when ‘I won’t support someone because of their skin color’ used to be racist?”

-Former CIA officer Bryan Dean Wright, who announced he was leaving the Democratic Party in February, responded to Duckworth’s remarks by writing: “Sen. Duckworth is a whisker away from demanding the whites drink at a separate fountain.”

-Duckworth is a vile disgusting bigot, a disgrace to the country, and a blathering moron on top of it. But at least she’s honest about it,” Daily Wire podcast host Matt Walsh wrote. “She should be removed from the senate for her professed racism. Also because she’s an incompetent goon.”

-Ben Shapiro, host of “The Ben Shapiro Show” and Daily Wire Editor Emeritus, responded to Duckworth’s remarks by tweeting: “This is called racism.”

‘Senate Democrats’ Short-Lived Opposition to All White Biden Nominees’

“Or is the lesson that the likes of Duckworth and Hirono will always be looking for some reason to get mad and will be extremely quick accuse others — even their allies and leaders of their party — of deliberate discrimination, even when it’s absurd?

Because if Joe Biden can be accused of being discriminatory against Asian Americans, and if Kamala Harris doesn’t really count as being “representative” of Asian Americans, then terms such as “discriminatory” and “representative” don’t really mean anything anymore. They can be stretched and twisted and applied to any situation, regardless of facts or context, and used as a cudgel to try to bully someone into agreeing to a particular outcome.”

Talk about killing your own poll numbers -

A Politico/ Morning Consult poll shows just 43 percent of voters believe that undocumented immigrants who are currently living in the United States should be offered a pathway to citizenship. That figure has dropped 14 points since January.

Among Democrats, support fell from 72 percent to 57 percent

No Don you misunderstand. When Bai Den says he knows no one more qualified he really means it. He doesn't.

Then....when she leaves the room and the next person walks in Xho will look up and say...."there's no one more qualified to do this job than you"...and he'll mean it then too!

....rinse and repeat.

I'm a little surprised that Bai Den isn't calling Harris mommy by now!

I took Biden’s statement of fact another way. He was saying no one IS better qualified than The Laughing Hyena. She really loves to laugh at her own jokes, too much. Over the line laughing at her own jokes. She can’t stop laughing at her funny jokes, they really crack her up. She is easily amused. Creepy.

Anyway, no one is better qualified is akin to saying, Without reservations, No One is better qualified for the job than Ms. Harris. No One is indeed better qualified than her, Without reservations, I can proclaim that no one is much better qualified....but I got reservations.

I go to walk in a fancy restaurant. The hostess asks if we have reservations. I told her, “Yes, but we decided to eat here anyway.”

Looks like a big sea of foil, inches apart. Lots of foil. Which reminds me, Captain Kirk turned 90 yesterday.

KRISTEN CLARKE’S UGLY TWEETS

Kristen Clarke is Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department. She’s an odd pick, or would be in a normal administration, given her history of sponsoring anti-Semitism and advancing the idea that Blacks are superior to Whites.

Hmm. Kamala Harris who compared ICE to the KKK is now the one we turn to to solve the border ‘challenge’. Kristen Clarke to head the Civil Rights Division. What could possibly go right?

[Bill Tozet]

The great divide. Bill Mahr goes off on The Woke. Interesting to watch Bill fighting back against insanity, foolishness, sheer unhinged ignorance, and gross hypocricy. Calling a spade a spade.

Quid Pro Joe? Biden Taps Wife Of Swing-Voter Joe Manchin To Federal Post Ahead Of Infrastructure Push

The administrations Headley Lamar has convinced Joseph Le'Petomaine, the empty husk from Scranton that he's destined for historical greatness.

Let's watch!

I figured that Manchin had other income streams coming in as a pivot point in the legislative process. Maybe he and his wife are bad at managing money.
