Is it legal for Congress to #default on the US #NationalDebt? It depends on who you ask. There are a ton of good legal arguments for and against, so perhaps it comes down to what the (degraded, corrupt, illegitimate, partisan) #SupremeCourt says?

"#ALEC’s proposed Free Speech in Higher Education Act debated by members this week would ban public universities from using bias reporting systems to prevent or punish “offensive” or “unwanted” speech by students, faculty, staff, or guests." exposedbycmd.org/2022/11/30/ale… #HigherEd
#ALEC’s FORUM Act "has passed in multiple states with the help of the hate group Alliance Defending Freedom, aims to address the manufactured free speech “crisis” being hyped by the Right, often by sending extremist provocateurs to speak at colleges and universities." #HigherEd
The real reason for the attack on libraries dailykos.com/stories/2022/1… This "has always been about keeping people uneducated and ignorant. Suppressing diverse ideas has always been the hallmark of conservatism, and free libraries stand in the way of their goal."
Republicans Want Teachers to Leave Public Education laprogressive.com/education-refo… Republicans are literally running a political platform on weakening teachers, schools and education because they need the poorly educated to make up their voting base.
1/ DeSantis, conservatives score more Florida school board wins politi.co/3Eg5YXN Moms for Liberty endorsed 12 for Florida school board and donated to campaigns. The 1776 PAC, which opposes critical race theory in schools, endorsed 49 candidates throughout 21 counties.
2/ Parental rights have been a key battle cry for DeSantis who pushed Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law, aka “Parental Rights in Education”.
Together with "School Choice" laws promoting charter schools, DeSantis is dictating what kids can learn, and where they can learn it.

The ironic and inevitable consequence: Racial and Ethnic Violence. Those dissimilar identities that predate Nationalism will not bend a knee. They will refuse to be nationalized, de-negrofied, Putinized.
They will resist.

Why is #WhiteNationalism equated with #WhiteSupremacy & Nazism?
America's founding fathers were the original White Nationalists, & for good reason. They knew that forging a nation from different European peoples of the same - White - race would be difficult enough.
America's founding fathers were the original White Nationalists, & for good reason. They knew that forging a nation from different European peoples of the same - White - race would be difficult enough.
And that trying to include other races (i.e. Native & Black Americans) would be impossible. This is why the 1790 Nationalisation Act restricted citizenship to Whites.
And so it has proven! America never did become a genuine nation, but just a bigger, more powerful, clone of GB.

America's #FoundingMistake was to equate state & nation.
Native & African Americas should have been helped to form nations of their own, without forced segregation. Different races tend to segregate naturally of own accord.

America was founded on #WhiteIdentity & Nationalism, the founding fathers being the original #WhiteNationalists, who restricted American citizenship to Whites, i.e. to fellow Europeans. So WHY is #WhiteNationalism now demonised?!
It is because America, like the UK, is an Orwellian construct, based on lies, deceit & a regime of rewards & intimidation.
The founders knew it would be difficult enough forging a nation from different European peoples of the same race, without trying to include other races.

Slouching Towards White Nationalism

The more I think about these quotes from #SamHarris the more they shock & disturb me.
If I were a psychotherapist & Sam my patient, I would conclude that he was suffering from a serious psychosis, which indeed, I believe he is. Only he shares it will many others.

My diagnosis is trans-generational trauma at the hands of the Nazis, who belonged to the same, White, European race as he does.
This trauma has alienated him & many other Ashkenazi Jews from their own race.
If it only affected Sam it would just be his own, personal issue.

The reality, however, is that it profoundly affects all the societies in which Ashkenazi Jews live, which amounts to western civilisation at large, where, owning to this trauma, Whites will soon become a racial minority.

Former FBI @RepBrianFitz is a #TrumpEnabler & part of the "militant wing of the Republican Party" who attracted #ProudBoys to rally outside his #PA01 office last Dec.
He gifted #WhiteNationalists with an official letter to BillBarr/DoJ in 2019 demanding a crackdown on antifa.

Sexual attraction is something most of us are familiar with & have learned to live with in a civilised fashion.
But what about #RacialAttraction?
Attraction to one's own race is deemed racist for Whites. But why shouldn't we also learn to live with it in a civilised fashion?

State & academic authority demonises racial attraction between Whites, because it is the natural basis of national identity, which #BigBrother, who deceitfully poses as our nation himself, fears more than anything else.
It is Big Brother's fear of #WhiteIdentity & #WhiteNationalism which causes him to incite fear & hatred of them in his minions.
It is up to White Nationalists to show that such fear & hatred is unwarranted, unless, of course, you want BB to remain in control of society.

In Defence of #WhiteNationalism
White Nationalism undermines the nation state, which is why #BigBrother demonises it as #WhiteSupremacy & deceitfully seeks to associate it with Nazism.
The Nazis were NOT White Nationalists! Those they hated & killed most were fellow Whites.

For me, #WhiteNationalism = #WhiteIdentity.
Just as Blacks tend to identify with fellow Blacks, I'm inclined to identify with fellow Whites.
I say "tend" & "inclined", because it is not absolute. But it is still a very important form of IDENTITY.

No one demonises Black identity, so why is White identity demonised?
Big Brother fears White identity, because it has the potential to become the majority identity & to challenge his own deceitful claim to nationhood.

What power do we have in preventing the next white nationalist #terrorist attack? I draw from our brain scan studies of #jihadist supporters to give some insights in this @nytopinion vid. It means changing the way we talk in the aftermath of an attack. 1/

@colcomfdn The bombshell @NYTimes report from 8/14 traced the dark ideology of Colcom's founder, Cordelia Scaife May, who bankrolled the efforts of white nationalist John Tanton (whose papers I am suing to unseal) in the late 1970's.

Trump has lied TWELVE THOUSAND TIMES.
He has disgraced his office. He has engaged in #StochasticTerrorism against people of color. He has called the media "enemies of the people."
His presidency is an affront to human dignity. But Dem leaders can't find the spine to oppose him.

1/ A photographic look at the Trump visit to University Medical Center in #ElPaso. He visited there after the 7th worst #massshooting in US history. Targeting #Latinos, the attack killed at least 22 and injured 26. Pictures from Dayton included.
2/ Trump is vilified by many in El Paso for his border war, and his venom and prejudice appears to have helped inspire a white nationalist to target Latinos and commit mass murder. He planned to visit hospitalized survivors, but none would meet with him. So, what to do?
3/ What Trump is accomplished at is flipping the script. In a remarkable cache of 40 pictures on its Flickr feed, the @WhiteHouse bombarded the media and social media with exclusive images of his #ElPaso visit after excluding the press from covering it.
