Gurminder K Bhambra and John Holmwood state that “Many recent accounts of the welfare state in Europe (and, elsewhere) suggest that changing patterns of immigration have undermined the solidarity necessary to recognise the claims of fellow citizens to social rights” AND although “there is a failure of solidarity, we argue that it is one that has its origins in colonialism which organised access to politics and social rights on a hierarchical and racialised basis” Since the social rights of citizens and non-citizens has altered the face of social aid in the US it seems likely that such aid will expand and include migrants that are not citizens. An interesting use of the term “social rights” here suggests that individuals have rights to access to aid.  As far as rights are concerned, conservatives would argue that the only rights individuals have should be designated for legal citizens. It seems almost a guarantee at tis point that not mtter how one enters the US that those people would be considered by the radicalized Left to have social rights, spken of as baic human rights.  The catch is how far the US is going to go in fulfilling the needs of people that are in the US illegally.

The language used by Bhambra and Holmwood suggests that these human rights have been denied people due to a “colonial” “hierarchy” and based on a racialised basis.” This language proves that its use is intentional in educating the readers as to the nature of the denial of social rights (whether tendered legally or illegally) being rooted in colonialism. This evidences the way that the didactic process of retraining the Western mind to the mindset of “guilt” is engendered.  This is a political move that the Left uses and is quite effective.  In order to get policies instituted the use of such language informing the legislators is of the nature of causing the policies to be rather Marxist, which is not particularly in line with postcolonial ends. This use of language, because language so defines reality, is detrimental to democracy and the will of the people who are citizens of the US. The claims about racialisation will addressed I future posts.

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...
