• In Smithsonian Race Guidelines, Rational Thinking and Hard Work Are White Values
  

  The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture recently unveiled guidelines for talking about race. A graphic displayed in the guidelines, entitled “Aspects and Assumptions of Whiteness in the United States,” declares that rational thinking and hard work, among others, are white values.

  In the section, Smithsonian declares that “objective, rational, linear thinking,” “quantitative emphasis,” “hard work before play,” and various other values are aspects and assumptions of whiteness.

  More white projection. White liberals simply play anti-racist to get away with their paternalism, knowing that eventually every slave population wears out and overcomes its masters, since at the end of the day the masters are responsible for making everything work and the slaves can sabotage that and tire everyone. I propose a simpler solution: end the master-slave relationship by ending diversity.

• White Americans got their stimulus checks more promptly than Blacks and Hispanics
  

  More White households received their checks by late May than Black households, while a greater share of middle-class consumers got their checks faster than poor Americans, according to a study by the Urban Institute.

  At the same time, people of color are more likely to be “unbanked” than White consumers. That could help explain the delays in some people getting a stimulus check because the first wave of payments went to taxpayers who had their bank account information on file with the IRS.

  Even worse, they were mailed in white envelopes that look like little Klan hoods when you hold them at an angle.

• Flight to Suburbs: Housing Starts Jump 17.3% in June to 1.9 Million
  

  The National Association of Home Builders’ survey showed Thursday that interest in buying single-family homes has soared in the wake of lockdowns, working from home, urban riots and looting, school closings, a national movement to defund police, and a rise in violent crime in many cities. Living in an apartment in a city center strikes many families as less attractive than it has in recent years.

  White people are escaping the diversity and will allow the inner cities to rot yet again. In another ten years, white people will move into the ruins and make a ton of money “gentrifying” them as the moronic cycle begins again.

• Global debt hits record high of 331% of GDP in first quarter
  

  While the rise in debt levels was well below average quarterly gains seen from 2015 to 2019, the pace of global debt build-up by governments, companies, financial institutions and households had accelerated since March, it said.

  As democracy continues to make bad decisions, problems pile up. It refuses to address its problems because to do so requires facing paradoxes in equality and democracy, so every year they get worse, and we apply the same “solutions” that only fan the flames.

• Federal Law Enforcement Use Unmarked Vehicles To Grab Protesters Off Portland Streets
  

  Federal law enforcement officers have been using unmarked vehicles to drive around downtown Portland and detain protesters since at least July 14. Personal accounts and multiple videos posted online show the officers driving up to people, detaining individuals with no explanation of why they are being arrested, and driving off.

  When local law enforcement fails, the feds come in and arrest people for being miscreants. Somehow this strikes the miscreants, who always drive unmarked cars and never wear uniforms, as “unfair.”

• Hessian Throws Germany Into Chaos By Resisting Police
  

  Police had been called to a forest hut on the outskirts of Oppenau, in Baden-Württemberg after sightings of a “suspicious” figure in combat gear and carrying a bow and arrows, but were caught off guard when the man pulled a gun on them.

  People are getting tired of the utter incompetence of democracy, the slavery of tax-cow McJobs, and the pointlessness of living in a diverse society.

• Super-agers show resistance to tau and amyloid accumulation
  

  An analysis of positron emission tomography (PET) scans has shown that compared to normal-agers and those with mild cognitive impairment, super-agers have a lower burden of tau and amyloid pathology associated with neurodegeneration, which probably allows them to maintain their cognitive performance.

  We are finally figuring out what makes us get brain-dead over time. Next up we may figure out links to air pollution, modern diet, and a futile existence of jobs, taxes, and Leftism.

• Putting nature first could create 400 million new opportunities
  

  Better management of wild fish supplies, for example, would increase the size of catches adding almost €150bn to the industry and creating 14 million jobs. Similar nature saving wins can be made in other industries through initiatives like the widespread installation of green roofs, investment in renewable energy and better recycling of car parts.

  This may be true, but the real opportunity comes in ending globalism. When each nation produces what it needs, it will have more jobs stay inside its borders and have no need for immigration to pay for the entitlements state.

• Pentagon bans Confederate flag on military installations in carefully worded policy
  

  The policy, laid out in a memo obtained by The Associated Press, was described by officials as a creative way to bar the flag’s display without openly contradicting or angering President Donald Trump, who has defended people’s rights to display it.

  “Free” systems become just as totalitarian as closed systems because people in groups tend toward the same illusions, essentially losing focus on the goal and instead trying to manage the group, at which point the people who pretend to be victims take over and victimize everyone.

• UN official warns of decades of tragedies if wealthy nations don’t help in global coronavirus fight
  

  “It can be fixed with money and leadership from the world’s wealthier nations and some fresh thinking,” he said. “We estimate that the cost of protecting the poorest 10% of the global population from the worst effects of the pandemic and global recession is about $90 billion. That’s less than 1% of the stimulus package wealthy countries have put in place to protect the global economy.”

  Nature is correcting human overpopulation by hitting us where we are weak: our shared institutions are corrupt because our societies have become individualistic, so one little push reveals that they are dysfunctional and causes our complex social systems to collapse. Let nature do her work. This is not a tragedy, but avoidance of a worse tragedy in the future.

• 3 Women Face Battery Charges After Attack On Spirit Airlines’ Employees At Broward Airport
  

  Broward Sheriff Office deputies say Danaysha Akia Cuthbert Dixon, 22, Kaira Candida Ferguson, 21, and Tymaya Monique Wright, 20, all from Philadelphia, “intentionally struck Spirit Airlines employees with phones, shoes, full water bottles, and metal signs.”

  Can Black women be Karens, too?

• Suffolk Police officers who stopped black couple for ‘driving on a road’ to be investigated
  

  A mobile phone video shot by Mrs Antoine-Onikoyi shows a Suffolk Police officer demanding to see her husband’s driving licence because they “looked suspicious”.

  Police guard against outsiders. If you look like an outsider, you may get questioned. Soon, police will stop doing this. Crime will go up. Nice neighborhoods will pay for private security. Yet another hidden tax will become “normal” in decaying modern life.

• Trudeau pens op-ed with world leaders calling for equal access to coronavirus vaccine
  

  The leaders said the COVID-19 Vaccine Global Access (COVAX) Facility is one example of an initiative intended to ensure that any effective vaccine is distributed fairly around the world.

  More than 150 countries have signed up with COVAX, including 75 wealthy countries that would finance vaccines from their public budgets and another 90 lower-income countries that hope to receive donated vaccines, the vaccine alliance Gavi said in a statement Wednesday.

  More giveaways for virtue karma points. What happens when there are fewer than eight billion doses? How do we hand those out then?

• Officials: ‘Massive’ unemployment scam uncovered in Maryland
  

  Hogan made the revelation Wednesday during a press conference stating the claims, amounting to more than $501 million, were discovered over the July 4th weekend attempting to use stolen identities and information of people acquired from previous national data breaches.

  Give out free stuff, and scammers will show up to take it. Our insistence on equality allows the predatory to walk among us.

• U of T tests show Canadian-made mask deactivates 99% of SARS-CoV-2 virus
  

  They found that the novel coating deactivated more than 99 per cent of SARS-CoV-2 within minutes, a finding that could represent a huge boon for health-care workers who are at risk of being contaminated with the virus by touching or adjusting their face masks. Indeed, the coronavirus has been shown to be present and infectious on the outer layer of masks for up to seven days, according to a recent study published in The Lancet Microbe.

  “A big challenge for most people in the population who usually never wear surgical masks is comfort and fit. Because of this, people tend to be constantly adjusting their masks,” said Gray-Owen. “So they’re either contaminating their hands or, if their hands are contaminated, they’re contaminating a mask that’s close to their face and maybe even depositing the virus there, which they might then inhale.”

  In other words, existing masks do not work so well. This tells us a great deal about why things are not going so well in the COVID-19 wards.

• Attorney General Barr accuses Hollywood, Big Tech of collaborating with China
  

  “Corporations such as Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, and Apple have shown themselves all too willing to collaborate with the (Chinese Communist party),” Barr said. He added that Hollywood has routinely caved into pressure and censored their films “to appease the Chinese Communist Party.”

  Globalism means that other nations become essential to your companies. That in turn means that these companies will exert control over those companies. Somehow, the votards slept through this one while they were busy celebrating the “global village” back in the 1990s.

• A plane flew a Confederate flag over NASCAR race as thousands of fans watched on from the stands
  

  It comes a month after NASCAR announced the Confederate flag would be prohibited from all official events in response to the worldwide protests against racial injustice and police brutality ​following the killing of George Floyd.
  Critics of the Confederate symbol say it’s racist and represents a war to uphold slavery and a battle to oppose civil rights advances.

  The banner also included a URL for the ‘Sons of Confederate Veterans’ website — the organization responsible for flying a similar flag over a race in Talladega, Alabama, last month.

  The Confederate flag symbolizes heritage America and how this country was far better before diversity. That offends people, so they demonize it, which in turn makes the flag a powerful symbol of resistance. You can visit the Sons of Confederate Veterans on the web.

• South Africa’s leaders have had a crack at COVID-19: it’s time to give the people a go
  

  In particular, the leadership of a Malawian village came up with a solution to protect older people by locating them in one part of the village. Malawi never locked down but, with a very poor population, half of whom are 17 or under, it is really not clear why it should. Had Malawi’s then-leaders consulted, they might never have suffered the ignominy of having their obviously inappropriate lockdown regulations thrown out by a court.

  Government is a bad solution to most problems. The Swedish model seems to be winning out: more casualties at first, exacerbated by foreign labor in care homes, but then stability and normalcy instead of panic and insecurity.

• Red Bull lays off executives, slashes music programs amid unrest over Black Lives Matter movement
  

  While Red Bull has stated that these layoffs are a result of pandemic-related budget cuts, the restructuring comes amid racial tensions within the company. Florian Klaass, Red Bull’s Austrian-based head Of global culture marketing, was let go in February over his role in a corporate presentation that included a global map featuring racist stereotypes. The slide, which was leaked to Business Insider, described India as “call centers,” the Middle East with “bombs go here” and Africa as “zoo animals come from here.”

  Racist, realist, or both?

• The new age of autocrats
  

  But the success of populism in these countries is traceable to the shortcomings of democratic elites. Weak social policy has left millions fearing that their children might not live lives of dignity. Orbán and Kaczynski are ethnic nationalists who claim to defend Hungary or Poland against decadent Westerners, but they also support job creation and cash payments to families.

  Translation: democracy has failed by making people into wage-slaves who exist to pay taxes to support the poor, disabled, diverse, and sexually non-conforming. Egalitarianism always makes people “equal” by taking from the makers to give to the takers, not just money but political power, cultural influence, and social authority. That in turn makes a society heading downward. Since democracy has failed, people are heading toward the alternative that requires the least amount of change: stronger leaders within weaker democracies. The next step will involve deciding to reject the “Big Lie,” equality itself, and replacing the votards with people who are higher in natural hierarchy and more capable of understanding the complex task of rule.

• 2 Germans arrested over far-right, anti-Semitic website
  

  A suspect accused of co-founding the “Goyim Party Germany” group in 2016 and identified only as Fadi J. in line with German privacy laws was arrested in the Dutch town of Heerlen, federal prosecutors said. The second suspect, Marcus B, who allegedly joined the group in 2018, was arrested in Berlin. Their apartments were searched, as were those of six other suspects.

  In a time of symbolic reality, people ignore real problems in order to go after symbolic actions and gestures. This website sounds like a typical internet troll.

• Grenfell Tower inquiry: Main firm ‘overlooked safety document’
  

  The main contractor on the Grenfell Tower refurbishment overlooked a key fire safety document, the inquiry into the blaze has heard.

  It included requirements regarding the fire hazards of certain cladding materials and had to be kept on-site.

  But Simon Lawrence, contracts manager at building firm Rydon, said the “sheer amount of information” involved in the project led to it being missed.

  The more taxes, permits, regulations, and red tape that we add, the more complex these projects get. Regulations will not save us from the abyss we have created.

• FCC approves 988 as new 3-digit national suicide hotline
  

  “Far too many Americans are lost each year to suicide,” Elinore McCance-Katz, a psychiatrist and the assistant secretary of Health and Human Services for mental health and substance abuse, said Thursday at the FCC hearing. “Yet we hear relatively little about this.”

  Democracy, equality, and diversity (D.E.a.D.) make people so happy that they are killing themselves in droves. We are seeing the end of a Regime here.

• Church members searching for answers after statue of Jesus Christ is decapitated
  

  The Archdiocese of Miami told Local 10 News its members expect police to “Investigate this desecration as a hate crime. This is another attack on the Catholic Church which is happening across the country.”

  Diversity returns us to a state before civilization, the “war of all against all.”

• Black Lives Matter billboard placed next to Confederate flag
  

  White said company representatives told him they would notify him before putting it up, but went ahead and did it anyway without telling him in advance. He now wants the sign removed when company’s lease expires at the end of August, but the company said it has until the end of September to remove it, White said.

  We must demonstrate symbolic obedience to the order that ruled in the last century because we fear the change, maturation, and self-actualization that comes with leaving symbolism behind for reality. Leftism is failing, and its supporters are becoming more desperate and nasty by the minute.

• Study suggests undetected cases help speed COVID-19 spread
  

  Using statistical and epidemiological modeling to reconstruct the outbreak in Wuhan from Jan. 1 to March 8, researchers found that up to 87 percent of cases in the city during that time may have gone undetected and transmission rates during some of the earliest days could have been as high as 3.54 infections per single case.

  What do you do about a disease that does not affect most people? Panic and destroy the world economy, obviously, but this was a necessary step: it revealed to us that the System was broken and could not be fixed, and even a small stress like COVID-19 would push it over the brink.

• In a historic first, Latino students are the largest group admitted to University of California’s freshman class
  

  Latinos surpassed Asian Americans to comprise 36% of the 79,953 students from California who were offered admission to at least one of the nine UC campuses, according to preliminary data released on Thursday.

  Asian American students made up 35%, White students 21% and Black students 5%. American Indian and Pacific Islander students made up 0%, and 3% declined to state their race or ethnicity.

  Sure looks like “assimilation” is going the opposite direction from how conservatives described it during the 1990s.

• No trans characters in major Hollywood movies for 3rd year, report finds
  

  Hollywood increased the numbers of gay and bisexual characters in movies in 2019, but most of them had only fleeting screen time and there were no transgender characters at all, according to a survey released on Thursday.

  Our political leaders want to use transsexualism to further force egalitarianism on us. However, ordinary people do not think about transsexualism or care about it except as a punch line. This shows us the transition of the post-Obama world: it is not that people oppose the agenda so much as that they have no faith in it or use for it.

• Cadbury accused of ‘shrinkflation’ as packs get smaller
  

  All Cadbury chocolate bars sold in multipacks will shrink by the end of 2021 to reduce their calorie count, owner Mondelez has announced.

  Popular treats including Crunchie, Twirl and Wispa bars will contain no more than 200 calories each when sold in a four-pack.

  However, the price will stay the same.

  Fooling the votards takes a trivial amount of planning. The voters will scream if you raise the price, so reduce the size. Then some months later, once everything has fallen into the memory hole, introduce a new “family size” and then some months later, make it the normal size, having raised the price. The idiots will never connect the dots except for a few who will be ignored because noticing how everything is failing makes ordinary people feel bad.

• Regular physical activity seems to enhance cognition in children who need it most
  

  The researchers found that cognitive skills, which have been shown to closely associate with academic performance, improved most in children whose skills were initially poor. The team also found that increased time spent doing regular physical activity did not negatively affect cognitive function in children who started out with better cognitive functions.

  In other words, physical activity stimulates dumber kids. Smart kids do not need it. They might ask why children have so little physical activity, but that would require us to own up to the fact that diversity and sexual liberation have so ruined our social environment that no one wants to let their kids outside to play. Consequently, they sit inside and bloat while getting dumber as they are forced to absorb more lies from dying democracy.
