Ecology

Christopher J. Schell, Dyson, Fuentes, Des Roches, Harris, Miller, Wolfe-Erskine and Lambert, “We explicitly integrate ecology, evolution, and social processes to emphasize the relationships binding social inequities, specifically racism, and biological change in urbanized landscapes” The closer look at the connections between urban life and ecology is important to the development of discourse for the perpetuation of equity and inclusion. Schell et al. explain that, with a mass of research behind the ideas that connect race and ecology, “Urban ecosystems encompass complex feedbacks between human activity, built and planted infrastructure, and natural landscapes that drive unique biological processes” There is quite the argument here that should be taken seriously, because there is a great debate at the core of what it means to be human and live a sustainable life on earth, with implications about how we have, are, and plan to treat our environment.  One cannot slough it off lightly, but rather must engage with the work that has been done in the area, including psychology, sociology, anthropology, and other sciences and humxnities.  One might state here that there is not a common “we” in this process and that certain racial prejudices apply so strongly that one cannot escape them and their implications; for example, white people cannot approach race except through supremacy thinking. This argument also should be taken seriously because a white person would be best to stay in contact with scholarship that can inform them of the otherness with which people of color are imputed.  A certain sensitivity and openness is important for everyone to remain informed by the experience of color, which is distinguishably real. So, as a product of whatever culture you are, one needs to hold on tight to their prejudices to engage with the ideas surrounding race and ecology so that prejudices are realized and not ignored or thought to have no implications.

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...

Consider if you will . . . . . . .

Have you wondered why the Left wants to rid us of one nation under God?  It is not only God they want to eliminate; they intend to destroy the idea of “nation.” This is done through praise of everything but nation.  Homi K Bhabha, in The Location of Culture says that he is not challenging only nationalism, but the historical certainty he wishes to distort and destroy, as well. So Bhabha praise immigrant as migrant and criminal as statistic. The criminal is seen as one who awaits release into the nation. Bhabha writes, “I have lived that moment of the scattering of the people that in other times and other places, in the nations of others, becomes a time of gathering. Gatherings of exiles and emigres and refugees; gathering on the edge of 'foreign' cultures . . . the gathering of people in the diaspora: indentured, migrant, interned; the gathering of incriminatory statistics”  “nation fills the void left by the uprooting of communities and kin”  If you want to get a f...
