Since the beginning of the “1619 Riots” following the death of George Floyd, the ideas of critical race theory, “systemic racism,” and white privilege have taken mainstream America by storm.
In university lecture halls, grade schools, sports arenas, and corporate boardrooms, progressive activists, especially those associated with the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, now demand a wholesale reordering of American life and a nihilistic erasure of American history and culture. Those who oppose any element of this movement or express any qualms about its tactics or motives are deemed “white supremacists.” Far from ending racism, however, BLM and its allies are fomenting racial hatred. Robin DiAngelo’s “White Fragility,” the handbook of the racial left, espouses a new version of scientific racism, a set of ideas whose first incarnation led to the most horrific events of modern history.

In those bad old days, African Americans were ubiquitously discriminated against and denied equal opportunity—sometimes by law, often by custom—based simply on the color of their skin.

Push Back Against ‘Operation Inclusion’ With ‘Operation Restoration’ Our Educational System Makes US Land of Useful Idiots. When I was young and just arrived in Los Angeles to make my way in the movie business, a friend, a recent graduate of UCLA film school, was writing a screenplay improbably entitled “Stalin’s Children.”
It was a sympathetic view of the struggles of the young people of that time (1969–70) still devoted to Comrade Stalin, if you can believe that. (Well, maybe now you can.) Not surprisingly, the script was unreadable and I don’t recall making it beyond page 10, but I’ve been thinking about it recently for its prescience. The author was no threat to John Huston or Francis Ford Coppola, to put it mildly, but he was a progenitor of something relatively rare in those days but becoming pervasive today: the “useful idiot,” American style.

Steele’s Primary Source Was Russian Analyst Based in Washington. FBI Investigating Chinese Espionage in All 50 States. FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed on July 18 that the FBI is investigating Chinese economic espionage cases in all 50 U.S. states, and that China is regarded as the “most significant” long-term threat to the United States.
Wray, speaking to NBC at the Aspen Ideas Forum on July 18, said Chinese espionage “covers everything from corn seeds in Iowa to wind turbines in Massachusetts and everything in between.” The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is using a set of unconventional warfare methods against the United States, designed to achieve the goals of war without the need for troop-on-troop combat. This includes subversive methods to infiltrate and undermine U.S. institutions, propaganda operations to alter public perception, economic warfare programs to steal from the U.S. economy, and more. Many of these strategies were outlined in a 1999 Chinese military book, “Unrestricted Warfare.” House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep.
New NYC Policing Rules Will Get People Hurt, Cops and Experts Say. New restrictions the New York City government placed on its police, the NYPD, are so ill-conceived that they’ll lead to more police brutality, not less, based on nearly a dozen interviews The Epoch Times conducted with current and former police officers, martial arts instructors, police tactics experts, and lawyers representing police officers or people alleging police brutality.
The new city law criminalizes several safe, nonviolent martial arts techniques used by police around the country and the world to subdue resisting subjects, according to experts. Police will thus have to resort to other methods that are often more violent and put both the officers and the people they attempt to arrest in greater danger. “Every single one of them [arrests] in which the police is successful … included momentary, at the very least, pressure on the diaphragm of the subject,” said Gracie, who routinely analyzes use-of-force incidents and recommends how to handle them better.
