posttruth world

   <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6077932889256660"      crossorigin="anonymous"></script> According to Jasmine Gani and Jenna Marshall, the biggest questions are and should be to stir public and private policy away from discriminatory practices.  “How can the discipline hold practitioners accountable or contribute to more effective policy-making if it has struggled to grapple with and overcome its own foundational mythologies,  exclusionary practices, and amnesias, especially vis-à-vis race, racism, and imperialism?” This is a concern and developing practice being addressed; it has been in place in American policy-making for decades. One needn’t worry about practices of racism, especially in the past few years. Governing agencies and bodies are being instructed to cause amnesia cultivation and to prop up agendas that are definitely not racist. Requiring most people to identify their whiteness and identify their mythologies is a large part of public training, even in the private sector.  Many industries are in need of federal aid and protection; therefore, they comply with federal training standards.  Gani and Marshall  question, “How can the discipline hold practitioners accountable or contribute to more effective policy-making if it has struggled to grapple with and overcome its own foundational mythologies, exclusionary practices, and amnesias, especially vis-à-vis race, racism, and imperialism?” What actually has happened, as Gani and Marshall wrote about what we should do, as implied in this material in 2021-2022 (which is obsolete the moment it is written), is we are well on the way toward the aims of the agendas of the hegemonic control that exists at this point in the United States and World history. It is no surprise that this new amnesia, forgetting contributions made in the history of the United States, carries with it postcolonial, post-truth, postmodern, post-everything articles of faith of the world in which we abide. We already have, as Gani and Marshall expect, “pressure increasingly reflected in funding criteria and measured through compilations of ‘impact cases’ for submission to national research assessment bodies. The pressure to ‘prove’ the impact of research is in turn produced by governments who want universities to justify their budgets and contribute to wider society.”  The following worry of Gani and Marshall is also a mischaracterization of what is going on now: Gani and Marshall write, “The point here is to discourage the ‘any impact’ approach; the mere fact that a form of knowledge exchange reflects recognition from the policy world does not always mean it is necessary or positive” . . . . Again, Gani and Marshall, needn’t worry that “academia is not a bastion of intellectual autonomy, but is increasingly allowing the parameters and goals of research to be delineated by practitioners and their priorities” There is no conspiracy to flood our world with representation from a past, full of hate.

Let's spread MISINFORMATION

According to the government 2  + 2 = 5  and Math is racist. Let’s spread the Truth, which is misinformation.  Let’s spread misinformation all over the place, in every household, community, city, state, and nation(s).  We will not cave on the matter of Truth, no matter how much they say 2 + 2 = 5. No matter what the Party tried to press upon the mind of Winston Smith (in George Orwell’s “1984”), Smith would not succumb, until the end.  For us we will not succumb to the lies, i.e. truth is lies; math is injustice; truth is unjust and other opposites that are flipped on their heads, and are made into the real lies that they are feeding the world.  The Left is relentlessly programming young children, to young adults, to you. Media process has you under its spell.  Stop watching TV and movies, please.  You will find only lies there.  So let’s spread misinformation, while the government is calling truth to be lies. Government and media are vacuous ...

21st century prophecies

In 21 Lessons for the 21 st Century , the GREAT prophet spoke, saying mockingly, “After all, we are God’s nation, so the argument goes, so what’s good for our nation is pleasing to God.  There certainly are religious sages who reject nationalist excesses and adopt far more universal visions. Unfortunately, such sages don’t wield much political power these days” uttering the excellent, profound, and provocative words, “the handmaid of nationalism is religion” as well, “Religions, rites, and rituals will remain important as long as the power of humankind rests on mass cooperation and as long as mass cooperation rests on belief in shared fiction” and “past experiences of the whole of humanity, will become less reliable guides” “The Zionist story fails to ascribe any meaning to Chinese Empires, to the tribes of New Guinea, and to the Andromeda galaxy, as well as to the countless eons that passed before the existence of Moses, Abraham, and the evolution of the apes” and “eternity is at...

Dirty words

  “Conservative” and “liberal” have been words that have incited arguments (not necessarily fighting) in the 20 th century.   In recent times the word “conservative” has become a dirty/filthy word.   It has indicated “hate” “Hate-speech” “unlovingness” and derogatory terms attributed to it. Conservatives have become the dregs of society, as Hillary Clinton most popularly named them “the deplorables” Another dirty word “Christian” has entered the dictionary of filth.   Are you sick of it?    Some say God is going to rectify this whole cultural mess, others (like me) think that there is too much invisible power invested in taking the West down, as evident in politics and those who feed politicians the sustaining coercive philosophy that will drive Christians into small groups that meet in homes, the Left is powering up for the take-down. Stand firm always and wait to see the salvation of the Lord Adonai More later on words that when given capital letters...
