Vivek Ramaswamy and the Woke Culture War
on Hindus
Posted By: Judy W., 9/22/2023 6:52:17 AM
I wouldn’t have liked Vivek Ramaswamy a few years ago but I do now. (Snip) Ramaswamy calls himself a Hindu and so do I at a time when the word “Hindu” has been overwhelmingly defined to be synonymous with racial, religious, and caste supremacism, and the only way to exist as a Hindu is to perform, loudly, as an ever-apologetic, self-erasing, and worst of all, fact-denying Hindu. There is a culture war on Hindus in America, and it is so deeply entwined with the bigger culture war in America today, that perhaps only the stunning, uncanny phenomenon of a self-professed Hindu vegetarian winning the support of Christians and omnivores

Reading this week’s news of the Biden Administration, I kept thinking of the Three Stooges poking fingers in each other’s eyes. (Snip)
Nothing seems to get through to them; their conduct is clear evidence that they believe they can get away with being completely outrageous because they suffer no consequences. (I know you probably can point to more examples -- apart from the open border through which the number of invaders now is the population equivalent of 17 states.)
This litigation strikes me as this week’s most easily understood misuse of the law.
The Department of Justice is suing Elon Musk for not hiring refugees to build advanced rocket technology.
In advance of the 2016 election, many of the nation’s most powerful intelligence figures joined forces with Hillary Clinton’s campaign to push the infamous Russiagate narrative. (Snip)
We are now fast approaching the next Presidential election. Biden is in serious trouble. Donald Trump enjoys tremendous support, and new polling data shows unprecedented numbers of Blacks and Hispanics talking about voting for Trump over Biden. The smell of disaster is in the air amongst Democratic operatives.
So, time to double down on the tactics of the last two election cycles. Time to make sure the fix is in. Enter the Department of Homeland Security’s new Experts Group.
Sometime during the summer of 2023, I posted a review of Elliot Page’s memoir Pageboy on Amazon. I take words seriously, even the words that constitute Amazon reviews. Language can convey truth; language can empower lies. The difference between truth and lies is the difference between life and death. In my faith, Satan is the father of lies. God is the logos, the Word; God is truth and the truth sets us free. (Snip)
Elliot Page’s Pageboy is a poorly written book. I said this because bad writing matters. “Writing clearly is thinking clearly.” Writing poorly underwrites destructive behavior. Identifying bad writing is a worthwhile use of time.

The Biden administration is attempting to crush a small Florida liberal arts school for not being left-wing.
The Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights recently announced that it would launch an investigation into the New College of Florida.
The school, which previously had been known for its liberal politics, is being transformed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and a notable trustee, Christopher Rufo.
(Snip) He said it began with a complaint from ACLU attorney Jennifer Granick. She said that the school’s board and trustees violated civil rights law by “removing ‘gender neutral’ signage from bathrooms, defunding the [diversity, equity, and inclusion] and gender studies programs, and ‘misgendering’
The Devil and Bella Dodd
3 replies
The Devil and Bella Dodd: One Woman’s Struggle Against Communism and Her Redemption is a 2022 account of the career of Bella Dodd (1904-1969), once “the most important female communist in the United States.” (Snip)
She used the name “Bella” and eventually married a man named Dodd. The marriage ended because of her commitment to the Communist Party. Dodd received degrees from New York University and Columbia, an Ivy League school – remarkable for a female Italian American immigrant from a poor family. She became a professor, lawyer, and organizer. She described herself as a key figure who injected the Communist Party’s agenda into American public education.
When I was four, my mother took her first flight and first trip out of her native India to the U.S. with me and my younger brother in tow. (Snip) When I was 19, I became an American citizen. It was one of the happiest days of my young life. The immigration officer gave me a civics test, including a question about the First Amendment. It was an easy test because I knew it in my heart. The American civic religion has the right to free speech as the core of its liturgy. I never imagined that there would come a time when an American government
Among likely Republican voters, Donald J. Trump appears to be the runaway winner for a repeat Republican nomination. However, when pitted against the Democratic machine, Trump does not look as strong. For independent voters, how both Biden and Trump handle Dr. Anthony Fauci and the consequence of his role in the pandemic response will shape a considerable amount of election politics. How will Donald Trump come to reckon with the reality he was lied to on the origins of SARS-CoV-2, misled on contagion, and badly deceived on the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines? Will Biden distance himself from Fauci when his campaign
An unassuming 72-year-old Maine physician named Meryl Nass has gripped the COVID-19 misinformation bull by its poisoned horns. Maine's physician licensing board suspended her from practicing in a blatant push to silence her right to free speech, in a medical field in which Meryl holds special expertise. Meryl Nass has filed a sharp-fanged lawsuit to bring this overreaching regulatory body to account. The lengths to which Maine's licensing board has gone to silence this tiger woman reveals the complete folly of the government-controlled COVID-19 narrative.
Who Is Doctor Nass?
Meryl Nass began her MIT education while still a teenager.
She is an acknowledged medical expert on man-made epidemics,
The Real New Normal

I mentioned on Monday that on his long-running Radio Derb John Derbyshire drew his listeners' attention to an observation of yours truly: (Snip)
"There's no point pretending this is a normal situation, right?" And yet at least three-quarters of the candidates in that Republican debate insisted on doing just that: This is just a normal quadrennial election in the greatest country in the history of countries where we're renowned around the planet for our uniquely peaceful "peaceful transfer of power", etc, etc.
Sorry, I don't buy that - and evidently nor does the GOP base. Which is why Trump has a forty-point lead over his nearest rival,
A recent Zero Hedge article contains an interesting quote as to why the U.S. warhawks want the Ukraine war:
Beltway liberal elites... still think Russia must be punished given they see Moscow as having brought the "bad orange man" to power in 2016.
Sounds crazy, but that would explain what I have experienced on the ground (physically and linguistically) in Ukraine.
Ukrainian Trump Derangement Syndrome
(Snip) My Ukrainian language comprehension has increased dramatically over the past year (I am a fluent Russian speaker), and Ukrainian language news has opened my eyes to a side of Ukraine I despise.

Here's what never happened in the hospital during COVID: a doctor sat down next to a patient and said, "You have a choice. We can give you Remdesivir, which killed 53% of the patients in an Ebola trial. It was so bad the trial had to be shut down.' (Snip) Or we can give you ivermectin, a safe and effective drug that's been successfully used for decades, and send you home. Which do you prefer?"
The reason that conversation never happened is that it would have cost the hospital too much money.

On Wednesday, Old Joe Biden finally invited Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House, after refusing to do so for nearly nine months while his regime did everything it could to undermine the Israeli prime minister. The invitation came as Netanyahu met with the alleged president at the UN, and the two sat down for their first chat of Biden’s alleged presidency. Any meeting with Biden these days, however, will have its bizarre and inexplicable elements, and this one was no different. As the leader of the world’s lone Jewish state began speaking, Old Joe bizarrely took the opportunity to make the sign of the cross. Calculated disrespect? Galloping dementia?
New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez denied all allegations against him Friday after being indicted on bribery offenses in the Southern District of New York, blaming racism for being charged. (snip) Per the indictment, “Over $480,000 in cash — much of it stuffed into envelopes and hidden in clothing, closets, and a safe — was discovered in the home.” (snip) “Those behind this campaign simply cannot accept that a first-generation Latino American from humble beginnings could rise to be a U.S. Senator and serve with honor and distinction. Even worse, they see me as an obstacle in the way of their broader political goals," he continued.
The border patrol has acknowledged that there are three confirmed cases of tuberculosis amongst illegal aliens who crossed into America through the Biden administration’s encouragement and connivance. This should worry everyone. We don’t think much about tuberculosis, except maybe as a Victorian disease, but it was once America’s greatest killer and, thanks to drug-resistant strains, can be again.
The tweet is straightforward: Of course, three confirmed cases are simply the teeniest tip of the iceberg. With people from the world’s undeveloped countries pouring by the millions over our southern border, you can be guaranteed that thousands, maybe tens of thousands, of them are harboring diseases that long ago vanished in America

Dressed Like Sen. John Fetterman- He is
Refused Entry 19 replies
The Gateway Pundit reported that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) ditched the Senate dress code in order to accommodate man-child Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) who dresses like a homeless drug addict.
The dress code of coats and ties for men and business attire for women still applies to staff in the chamber.
On Wednesday, Fetterman arrived at the Senate looking like a slob in a short-sleeve shirt and shorts.
While Fetterman has managed to receive special accommodations to disrespect the halls of power, The New York Post’s experiment of dressing like Fetterman and to try to gain entry to some of New York City’s finest restaurants shows
Democratic New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy called on Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., to resign following a federal indictment.
U.S. Attorney Damian Williams announced the indictment Friday morning at a press conference.
"Today, I'm announcing that my office has obtained a three count indictment charging Senator Robert Menendez, his wife, Nadine Menendez, and three New Jersey businessmen, Wael Hana, Jose Uribe and Fred Daibes for bribery offenses," U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said at a press conference on Friday morning.

Confederacy with stained-glass homage
to racial justice 18 replies
The landmark Washington National Cathedral unveiled new stained-glass windows Saturday with a theme of racial justice, filling the space that had once held four windows honoring Confederate Gens. Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.
The new windows depict a march for justice by African Americans, descendants of the very people who would have remained in slavery after the Civil War if the side for which the officers fought had prevailed.
The cathedral had removed the old windows after Confederate symbols featured prominently in recent racist violence.
The Secret Agenda to Restrict Meat
18 replies
A rumor spread last month suggesting that 14 cities in the United States are planning to ban meat.
The news, which made its rounds mostly on conservative news websites, was that by 2030, the cities seek to achieve zero consumption of meat, zero consumption of dairy, three new clothing items per person each year, zero private vehicle ownership, and one short return airline flight per person every three years.
Close to 100 cities globally have already signed onto the deal. In the United States, this includes Austin, Boston,(snip) the cities aren’t planning to ban meat outright. They’re pushing to reduce meat consumption, with zero consumption being the target.
NEW YORK — Please watch out for the robots as you’re exiting the train.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams doubled down on his pledge to bring more technology to the nation’s largest police department Friday when he unveiled an autonomous robot that will patrol one of the city’s busiest subway stations.The device, known as K5 and produced by robotics company Knightscope, stood motionless alongside Adams at a Friday press conference, its shell emblazoned with NYPD colors and its unblinking camera lens pointed at reporters and commuters in the bustling transit hub beneath Times Square.
You know things are bad when the Mexican government says they are overwhelmed at their southern border with 10,000 global migrants arriving daily en route to the United States southern border.
The Mexicans are looking for Joe Biden to try and stem the flow; while the White House says, ‘Listen Fats, nothing to see here‘…(Barrons) – Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has requested a bilateral meeting with his US counterpart to discuss the migration crisis that has “overwhelmed” his country, his foreign minister said Friday.
The meeting would occur in Washington when Lopez Obrador attends a summit of Latin American leaders, to be convened by US President Joe Biden
While announcing the launch of the executive Office of Gun Violence Prevention, President Joe Biden pledged to use the office to “centralize, accelerate, and intensify” his administration’s gun control push.
Biden noted that he has chosen Vice President Kamala Harris to oversee the office.
A report by the Washington Post makes clear coordination in the office is expected between the “White House, the Community Justice Action Fund and Everytown for Gun Safety.”
After Biden announced the launch of the new office on Friday, he then called for an “assault weapons” ban, a “high capacity” magazine ban, and universal background checks. He also called for Congress to take action for more gun restrictions
If you happen to live in Baltimore and are looking for something else to be incensed about apart from the rampant crime and government corruption, look no further than the public schools. The kids are back in class for the semester, or at least some of them are, and a public activist group has conducted a review of the latest round of state standardized testing. Across the city, 13 schools (that’s 40% of the schools) failed to produce a single student who tested as “proficient” in math. And most of the others didn’t produce many. This has resulted in some understandable outrage,

emergency, calls out countries’ ‘alarmist propaganda’ 14 replies
Pope Francis challenged French President Emmanuel Macron and other European leaders to open their ports to people fleeing hardship and poverty, insisting Saturday that the continent isn’t facing a migration “emergency” but rather a long-term reality that governments must deal with humanely.
For a second straight day in the French port city of Marseille, Francis took aim at European countries that have used “alarmist propaganda” to justify closing their doors to migrants and tried to shame them into responding with charity instead.

This is astonishing. I never knew this. Hindus were early victims of wokeness. Twenty years ago in America they were berated for the caste system and taught to hate their ancestors. What a story.
