Antisemitism is the worst I have seen in my lifetime but the Right Wing oddly gets a pass by MRG Staff

Antisemitism is real bad these days.

We’re living in a Twilight Zone movie. People believe that the Left are antisemites.

But the Right Wing is and will always be the main source of antisemitism. The sad thing is that this marketing campaign to associate the Left with antisemitism is because of the mainstream media – on both sides of the spectrum – are covering for the Israeli lobby as Israel enacts its Manifest Destiny policies in the Middle East.

The two sources of recent antisemitism are, (1) the quest for truth gone wrong by many people who are easily led down a “red pill” analysis of history in which the Jews are unilaterally blamed for everything (from the death of Jesus, to Middle Ages usury laws, etc.), yet, these conspiracies persist because there is a mystique around Jewish culture, a feeling of ambiguity concerning Jewish ethnic identity (e.g., able to fit in as white but not be white), and the Western media often treats Israel with “kid gloves” even though Israel has its own interests which may at times pose issues to the US maintaining its global reputation, and (2) the drama around the Palestine vs Israeli (IDF) conflict which has inspired so many feelings across the spectrum, across diverse groups, etc. The Israeli lobby has explicitly demonized Pro-Gaza Peace activists (many who are Jewish themselves), etc. Even people who want a mutual outcome in the region are seen as enemies.

The fact that people such as Netanyahu openly court Donald Trump and his MAGA movement, where this movement does have actual white supremacists, Nazis, etc., within it, shows to many that Israeli realpolitik will crawl into bed with actual antisemites as longs as it achieves strategic means for themselves. This amoral realpolitik thus inspires more people to seek the truth and as stated, many find themselves only hearing a right-wing analysis, which is very hostile to Jews. Conservatives have mostly controlled the online arena and conspiracy culture.

To add insult to injury, many Republican Jews seem to not care that there’s people in their party who think they are literally behind the Protocols of the Elders of Zion or the Zionist Occupied Government. As Ben Shapiro lambast black culture to this mostly white fanbase, Ben is in the same party that Richard Spencer and Nick Fuentes support. Does this make any sense? The Republican Jews do more going after Democrats than they do going after the American First movement with literal Nazis such as Nick Fuentes, the Goyim Defense League, Patriot Front, etc. This inability to call out their fellow conservative politicians and influencers to me shows a sense of delusion amongst some Jews in which they truly feel they will be totally accepted by the non-Jewish European-American community. Even though many Americans have no hate toward Jews, the truth is that many conservative conspiracies which are often used to maintain conservative/status-quo mainstream power, are often anchored in antisemitism.

White supremacy, the Christian Right, militias, hate groups, fringe black separatist movements, etc., have always and still are the chief proponents of anti-Jewish conspiracy theories and hatred in my opinion. Even though the American Muslim population is growing in recent times, the truth is when the America was overwhelming still white and black, the vast majority of antisemitism arose mostly from White supremacy and to a smaller extent the radical black fringe groups (e.g., Nation of Islam, etc.).

Even certain elements of “milk toast” “vanilla” mainstream Republican politics are the doorway to antisemitism, notably with conservatism’s emphasis on using superstitious thinking, i.e., modern conspiracy theory culture, to maintain the status quo. For example fear of government and banking (such as Eustance Mullins being notable for pushing the Jews run the Federal Reserve conspiracy theory); fear of institutions, abstract art, modernity, multiculturalism, etc. Jews are seen “supremacists” “alien” “corrupters” who only wish to extract resources by invading all aspects of life. The irony is that those who push this hate are often self-confessing about their ambitions. For example, white supremacy likes to state how superior it is, yet, it needs self-victimhood to justify preemptive attacks o maintain power. Yet, these groups that I spoke of are often more in alignment with Right Wing politics (patriarchy, nativism, heteronormativity, etc.), thus Republican politics more than they ever would be in Democratic politics.

The basis of many Far Right conspiracies is that Democrats are Jewish and they use minorities to create unrest against “normal, orderly white society”, whereas Republicans represent the nativist WASP population (glorified as patriotic, masculine, virtuous, pious, etc.), yet, the mainstream media, notably due to Pro-Palestinian protestors have labeled the Left or Liberals as antisemitic when the TRUTH is that the real hardcore antisemitism is Right Wing.

We are truly living in LaLa land.

The Left are now seen as Antisemitic…yet, the Right Wing which has actual racist and antisemitic people are given a….pass? The only explanation is that there is an odd nexus between Christian Evangelicals in Republican politics with the Zionist lobby which often represents conservative or Orthodox Jews.

I think for a people who have felt powerless many times throughout history, despite have a strong faith in God, find themselves “courting” those in power, yet, the sad truth is they will always be treat as “court Jews” of old. Only there to serve a purpose which is often to prop up the existing power systems at be while being demonized in the process. The sad truth is these MAGA Jews are so sure of their place, that they don’t get that all it takes is a few Christian Right radicals who believe in the “Jews killed Jesus” narrative to get into power.

As a black person, I can state that there are extremists in the black community who often like to call black people who wish to seek peace or don’t believe in revolutionary politics as being “sell outs” or “house slaves”, or regarding white people who want peace their supremacist counterparts call them “race traitors” or “race mixers”, and the same sort of bullying seems to go on in the Jewish community. For Jewish people not on in agreement with the rhetoric, they often cast as not being Jewish.

The short terms gains made by supporting Trump may not equate to long term safety for the Jewish people unfortunately.

To me a Jewish person who votes for MAGA are really just voting for their future expulsion from the USA if the Christian Right gets what they want. Sure, Israel may get what it wants, but a big reason that conservatives support Israel is that these Evangelicals WANT Jews to go back to Israel, so they can instigate End Times or prophecy.

Ana Kasparian is a Fighter, an Advocate, but also a Valley Girl having an existential career crisis by MRG Staff

I actually wrote most of this before the election, but I had got really busy in my personal life, but things have been good. Also, I would recommend watching videos by The Vanguard on YouTube about what is going on by Ana Kasparian.

But something is going on with Ana Kasparian.

Ana Kasparian published an article about how she is “leaving the Left”. To be honest I wasn’t that impressed by it. [Article: https://kasparian.substack.com/p/independent-and-unaligned]

She has also been ranting about criticism she has gotten on Twitter, though I suspect Ana…is being a little sly here. I will explain more later.

Maybe her current flare up against the Left will fade away as far as drama with Ana Kasparian being angry at Left Wing commentators and content creators such as the Serf Times (I believe), The Vanguard, etc. I do not have an X account, so keeping up with drama is hard to do, but better for my health.

Ana has been praised by Right Wing commentators who never give any kudos to liberals or the Left such American Justice Warrior, Tim Pool, etc., for her recent flare ups at the Left.

Maybe Ana is playing some sort of “four-dimensional chess” and by having a slight right leaning pivot she knows that any controversy will drive views, clicks, etc., which is vital in a competitive online media landscape. If she gets “cancelled” by the Left (which seems to be a comedian’s wet dream on another note), she will become a right-wing darling.

On a more moderate tangent, even if she courts Right Wing talking points, she is able to grow her own reputation, the audience of TYT, and possibly prep for her own separate audience in the event she goes full solo in the future. Ana blowing up at X (Twitter) comments seems to be her being an opportunist and needing pretext, a false flag, etc., to create top cover for her own and TYT’s business agendas.

Or, maybe Ana is being reactionary and living in her own echo chamber?

Ana is a human, so she is complicated whether she wants to openly admit it or not.

I would want Ana to reach out to other progressive contributors more so. I know she has a good working relationship with Emma Vigeland of the Majority Report with Sam Seder, but I think she should livestream with The Vanguard, The Serf Times, The Humanist Report, FD Signifier, etc. Showing your eagerness to learn is what I think what Ana is missing for herself personally and for her perception. If Ana is tempted at the Dave Rubin or Ben Shapiro models, which are successful in their own right (i.e., they can afford L.A. County home prices), I think this is the wrong decision by her.

I have always wanted to be a firm supporter of Ana Kasparian, but I can only handle her commentary in doses, and this is even before her recent drama with her “leaving the left”. I have witnessed Ana blow up, mispronounce or stutter her away through her segments, and generally make her own personal frustrations with grasping progressive concepts seem like it is a larger issue outside of herself, etc. I believe the frustration part for some on her audience is that the Political Right know exactly who they are whether they admit it or not, but the Left is trying to create a more unified front to combat conservatives, yet, it seems like Ana is airs her frustrations with the Left (embarrassing it) rather than linking up with more progressives that are popular online to learn, converse, share ideas, etc. You rarely if ever hear Tim Pool, Tomi Lahren, Dave Rubin, Candace Owens, The Red Elephant, Charlie Kirk, etc., question conservatism. They are cheerleaders for it. Their unwavering support for conservatism seems to attract more loyal followers somehow.

Yet, I have also seen Ana be one on the most personable media figures, and she has been an advocate and defender of progressive causes.

So, I suspect what she’s doing now is partially personal as she has a slight career crisis about her future and what she has accomplished.

However, personally, she has admitted publicly that all she knows is the Young Turks media outlet, she has no kids, etc.

Ana seems to be going thru a mid-life crisis looking back at her life and asking if she were as productive than she had hoped for. Feeling these feelings of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and probably thinking she is smarter than newer commentators who have benefitted from easier means of making money online (e.g., Serf Times, The Vanguard, etc.). She seems to be throwing the Left under the bus rather than understanding criticism comes with the job of being an activists and ally in order to make a career move. That is, it. She has to asks herself is she a newscaster or a real political activist? I think she wants to branch out on her own but is using criticism against her to gaslight her critics to make her run towards whatever future she sees for herself.

But that is a maybe and I could be wrong. Sometimes it seems she and Cenk seems to be having their Howard Stern and Robin tensions akin those depicted in the movie Private Parts, i.e., there are professional tensions, though there is a deep friendship between the two.

I think the Zodiac is corny and weird, but Ana seems like a bull-headed person.

Also, Ana does possess a level of professional envy such as towards Hasan Piker.

She has said some low blow things towards Hasan to minimalize his success as a political Twitch Streamer. Ana bought into Cenk’s idea of being an online news outlet, yet TYT did not adapt to the new arena of live streaming on platforms such as Twitch, which Hasan ran away with and capitalized on. Hasan is actually in the trenches of where the culture is, more so than where the news is. That’s the difference. Hasan understanding interfacing in real time is what younger people want, and it is the youth who are the ones most politically active now. TYT at this point is from mid-to-late twenties to mid-forties people, with some deviations in both directions. However, will TYT or a TYT host ever be on a panel on live TV asking presidential candidates questions? Is every single politician kicking down their doors to get a brief interview? However, we should be happy to have TYT because they are combating the likes of The Blaze, The Daily Wire etc., yet even these are somewhat obscure compared to mainstream media that many Americans still trust and watch.

Yet, Ana instead of praising and collaborating with Hasan, Ana unleashed her “Tracy Flick” on him. Even Hasan’s uncle in Cenk has helped collaborate with his nephew, though they both seem to understand they have different prerogatives.

Ana in a video titled Cenk Uygur Answers Tough Questions About His Past, published four years ago, stated she has full editorial control of the program now, and this was in the midst of Cenk’s eventual unsuccessful political run. I think Ana was hoping that Cenk would win his race, hand her the keys, and then they establish a direct pipeline network with him in political power and her running the media business. Yet, Cenk didn’t win and I suspect retained his original role of power within the company, likely at the cost of Ana’s perceived leadership amongst the TYT staff. Ana being loyal was maybe hoping to be the Queen Bee of the organization but with Cenk not leaving, her role was essentially reduced to co-equals. Compound this with the stellar rise of Hasan Piker being interviewed by major news outlets about his career. Ana may be asking herself “did I make the right decision for my career”.

This is going to sounds harsh starting off but it is just better to get this out of the way.

Ana seems to be kind of a… daddy’s girl and Valley Girl from a relatively sheltered existence who has a worldview that centers around Los Angeles County. The issue with being from a place like L.A. or even NYC is that these places are so large and layered that it creates the optical illusion that truth, standards, etc., must arise from these places. These are self-sustaining places that suck in resources from everywhere else and then spits back pop culture, media, and entertainment to everywhere else.

Playing detective, Ana (based on her social media activity) wants to be a salsa-dancing, L.A. hot wife, who catches up with Cat Power listening friends over mimosas and brunch, but who also has 2nd Wave to 3rd Wave feminist ideals, i.e., she wants to be an empowered working professional with her own financial security and wants to smash glass-ceilings, but she also does value traditional femininity. And…there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, but maybe she needs to be honest with herself and maybe her audience (if she is comfortable with that) that this is who she is.

She and TYT call themselves progressive, but progressive is a sentiment and not necessarily a defined political position. A Progressive can be a person who rejects capitalism outright and wants a world of progressive social sentiments, or a progressive can possibly be a person who has capitalist bourgeoise leanings who wants a world of progressive social sentiments. Ana is more in the capitalist bourgeoise camp, and I would her call a Democratic Capitalist or Social Democratic Capitalist and not a Democratic Socialist, Communists, etc.

I think she is having an existential journey about where she really fits, yet I think she maybe acting reactionary based on Twitter or YouTube criticism, rather than seeing the criticism of her has potentially valid.

I like to say that “being critiqued isn’t being oppressed”

TYT is progressive but that’s broad. But being broad is good for business for them. Cenk however has stated publicly that he isn’t a socialist, but he doesn’t ascribe to conservative allegations that anything social in nature is socialist. But an issue with TYT trying to be the news rather than an activist organization is that at a certain point they will have to grow and scale which means becoming more center.

I believe TYT thinks they can shift the Overton Window more left wing by pulling more Right Wingers to the Left by agreeing with them, so the new center is more far left than what it was, but by doing so TYT faces a dilemma of throwing true hardened Leftists under the bus. Ana’s freaks out furthers the process of making the Left, Social Justice, etc., seem like a failed freakshow.

Better put, Ana, keep your frustrations to yourself in pivotal moments because showing a disunited front on the Left does more harm than good, especially considering TYT likely talks to left leaning yet independent voters who are just one issue away of abandoning the Left. Better put even more, Ana is a role model, so her acting this way insinuates there is more chaos on the Left than there needs to be, when really instead of freaking out she needs to “reach out”. Say it with me. “Don’t freak out. Reach out”.

This moderation of TYT seems noble but I think it actually be detrimental because in order to appeal to moderates, you may have to play into the conservative framing of leftists which insinuates they are cartoonish, dangerous, “postmodern”, etc. Also, can you really trust the conservatives? They are constantly looking for “one of the good ones”, i.e., a black person who spouts condescending talking abouts used by white supremacists about black people, or a woman who decries feminism as means of reconstructing men’s wounded egos.

Back to what I suspect her actual life and upbringing were like, Ana seems like the pre-teen and teenager who watched a little Sex and the City on HBO here and there, but being a 90s and early 2000s kid she was raised on the post-Cold war prosperity of MTV, Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, etc., yet the issue with 90s – coming from a black person’s perspective – is that even though we were trained to live in a post-MLK racial harmony-type world (which I was raised in and made many good memories within), the truth is that the 90s was defined by commodifying racial differences. Simply because Raven Simone was the black girl in Zenon Girl of the 21st Century, and youth white girls sang to Destiny’s Child, or non-black people tuned into In Livin’ Color, Martin, or the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, or non-black people knew Tupac lyrics, this does not somehow mean we “solved racism” or that “things were better”.

Reading her blog post about why she is leaving the Left, I noticed a tinge of nostalgia, which interestingly is something I notice as being a key tenant to conservative and MAGA politics. The myth that things were simply better back then because we didn’t question things or “get offended by everything”. Conservatives want to go back to racial jokes not because they’re simply funny, but because they do reinforce differences that were innate to a society built from a colonial and racial caste system. They want to go back to “don’t be so sensitive” so they can reinvigorate F-bomb dropping homophobia and “boys will be boys” get of out jail cards. A big part of why people are voting for MAGA which Ana doesn’t seem to get while see feels sorry for herself is that they are simply voting for him out of spite. It is a middle finger vote to knowing they are losing arguments but want to feel right in being wrong. They don’t want to admit people call the police on black people for simply existing sometimes. They don’t want to admit that society is largely about protecting male’s egos. They don’t want to see how the hot dogs are made but rather want to feel like a King for a brief moment by sending perfectly good food back to the kitchen, simply because they can.

Many are voting for Trump to double down on their first vote for him. They can’t be negotiated with.

They voted because they think they are right and will be right, and even if the data proves them wrong on certain issues, they don’t care. They have shown themselves as easily descending into dues ex machina thinking with conspiracy theories such as Qanon mythology. They voted for Trump not because they want their beliefs to be compromised with, but they want them to be the standard. Contrary to popular belief, is that you can be conservative in a liberal or progressive world, but you can’t be liberal or progressive in a conservative one. Vengeance (cleaning the swamp, purges, mass deportation, locking her up chants), fear, cruelty (e.g., mocking Haitian refugees as voodoo worshippers who eat people’s pets), mockery, and nostalgia are what underlies the logos of MAGA. Period.

And what is interesting is that the last paragraph I wrote above, I did so before the election. And I think I am right in what I said.

[Back to what I wrote pre-election] When we as a society did not get offended by everything was because we as American consumers were not trained to see how the “meat in the hotdogs” were processed, but rather to simply consume things. The 80s and 90s was in part about covering up the radicalism that occurred in the 60s and 70s. For example, I remember thinking back to hippies as being these failed oddballs like the bus driver on The Simpsons, rather than people who had tangible and merited criticisms of the status quo. Hippies, Black Panthers, feminists, etc., were turned into TV show caricatures trying to hurt the delicate balance of Al Bundy beer-drinking-with-hands-down-his-pants America. I am almost forty. I feel like Al Bundy, so when I say that pop cultural quote, I really mean it.

Moving on, Ana being the children of Armenian immigrants, to me means her understanding of the USA is not genealogical [and I would make the same assertion of Cenk Uyghur and Hasan Piker — where Hasan often has a condescending tone towards Americans].

Her understanding of issues such as race, class, etc., are not nuanced by having generations upon generations of ancestors within the United States who relate to these issues, e.g., the existences and consciousness of foundational African Americans (and many foundational White Americans) being explicitly linked to the questions of race within this country (slavery, Jim Crow, the very founding of the USA, etc.).

She knows racism, slavery, police brutality are bad, but based on her upbringing and background, her understanding of these issues can at best only be described as sympathetic and text-book level rather a deeper level grasp of the issues. I believe this is also a point of frustration for her. As a person who has to talk and ask a lot of questions, she seems to be scared of being in spaces where she has to listen.

For example, even if I were to move to Armenia, my understanding of the historicity and gravitas of the society would be limited, though as a human capable of feeling, I would be able to feel for Armenian people, but I would have to humble myself into not thinking I am an expert on deep cultural nuances, feuds, genocides, etc., that occurred there.

But, also back to her immigrant experiences is, that Ana does come from a literal Caucus Mountain, old world, patriarchal culture. A part of the world defined by ethnic feuds, good foods, and territorialism. I don’t want to minimize her ethnic culture, and I admit that I am making assumptions here, but I can assume that her Armenian heritage probably played a role her worldview such as emphasizing a strong, manly, bravado projecting masculinity in her desired partner, but also with a vocal matriarch who is the keeper of her home. Los Angeles has strong Armenian, Turkish, Iranian, Azerbaijani, and Jewish communities who set up in places like Reseda, Burbank, Topanga, Woodland Hills, North Hollywood, etc.

The world that Ana was raised in while in the San Fernando Valley is akin to the TV show, Cobra Kai being based in The Valley. Strip malls with some great secret find ethnic restaurants, car dealerships, ethnic newsletters in a people’s indigenous language, 1960s or 1970s ranch style homes, dingbat apartments, Cal State Northridge, and rumors here and there about how so-and-so from high school is now making hardcore pornography filmed in the home of a person who moonlights as a production assistant for TV studios down in Burbank where Unsolved Mysteries was made at.

The Valley is true suburban (not exurban which is what most people think suburbs are) existence in a megalopolis such as L.A., where one’s own neighborhood could effectively be considered its own city. These areas are often defined by socio-economic and racial lines.

The LAPD has a budget on par with the militaries of small lesser developed nations. The mayor of LA, the LA Sheriff’s office, the LA Public School Superintendent are powerful positions that would make lower-level federal a bureaucrat blush.

L.A. when Ana was a child was home to the notorious Rodney King Beating, O.J. Simpson trial, the Bloods vs Crypts beefs, Huntington Beach Skinheads, the LA Riots with the “Rooftop Koreans”, etc., but also positive things such the 1992 Olympics, etc. The world of her childhood was likely defined by an insular suburban protection away from the real social unrest affecting late 80s to early 90s Los Angeles. A city defined by real world issues yet glossed over by projecting images of Melrose Place and Beverly Hills 90210.

I was reading her blog post about why she is leaving the Left and I felt that she was more sheltered than what I had suspected.

Think about everything I have just said and then add on her personality type

I have mixed feelings on Ana Kasparian, but I mostly lean as being supportive of her. She is (not has been), but is an ally of progressive causes, but I wouldn’t call her a Leftist necessarily. However, a big dilemma in most debates centering around politics is that to be Left Wing means to be part of a larger spectrum, e.g., center left versus leftists.

Ana’s freak outs aren’t helping in building consensus on the Left. But building consensus is for activists, not necessarily for newscasters.

It’s on her to figure out which one she is.

(Right Wing Watch) Patrick Bet David is a Goofy Person. From George Soros antisemitism, Anti-Black talking points, etc. Parallels between Jordan Jorjani and The Kook Right Wing by MRG Staff

Disclaimer: You can either watch the videos first or read the post first and then revert to watching the videos. If you read first, remember to scroll up to the top to watch the first set of shared videos. Thank you! Also, I am not a communist, but rather I find value in some Marxist talking points or sentiments from an analysis standpoint. I find the worldview of Marxism offers an alternative methodology to the seeing the world as is, yet, outside of analysis, I find the real-world applications of Marxism (a type of communism) to be less than desirable. I feel it oversimplifies reality into dialectics based on my novice understanding of it. However, I acknowledge and understand, contrary to critics and enemies of Left-Wing thought, that there is a difference between socialism and communism, in which socialism is a plethora of various and often differing egalitarian types of socio-political and/or economic systems, whereas communism is a type of socialism, and Marxism is a theory of communism. Also, I do see value in capitalism. I consider myself open minded and blend elements of capitalism, socialism etc., in my personal views. Personally, I prefer to think theoretically about a world beyond the dialectics of capitalism versus socialism.

This post will explore (1) Patrick Bet David’s erroneous claims that the first slaveowner in the Thirteen Colonies was a black man; (2) an analysis of his casual antisemitism despite attempting to court Jewish people and Zionists, i.e., he juggles two key demographics of Right Wing politics which are Zionists/Evangelicals and Antisemites; (3) how immigrants often adopt a white supremacist mentality when trying to assimilate into pre-existing super-structures [(in Marxist theory) the super-structures are the institutions and culture considered to result from or reflect the economic system underlying a society]; (4) the nexus between capitalism, colonialism, and supremacy, and (5) remembering disgraced New Jersey Institute of Technology professor, Jordan Reza Jorjani, who is of partial Iranian descent — similar to Patrick Bet David, and how Jorjani’s views were infused within the late twenty-teens Alt Right movement, particularly relating to “Indo Aryans”, “Indo Europeans”, etc. Jorjani’s main ideas could be considered at an intersection with “occultic fascism” in the vein of people such as Julius Evola, another darling of the Far Right and Alt-Right, and Francis Parkey Yockey.

Further, Jorjani’s ideas are adjacent to the theosophy of Madam Blavatsky (who coined terms such as “root races”), antediluvian “pre-flood’ myths, pan-spermia (alien intervention in human evolution) or ancient alien theories (e.g., Anunnaki believers and alien assistance with pyramid building), etc. These ideas have been platformed on popular YouTube podcasts such as the Joe Rogan Podcast, Danny Jones, etc. The accrual of these counter-cultural and/or alternative history ideas have been documented as having a cross-juncture with Far Right and fascist politics such as the field of “Nazi Archaeology”. This is best explained by University of Exeter professor, Dr. Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke who has explored Nazism and other fascists ideologies influence on and use of counterculture and fringe ideas such as Ariosophy, Western esoterism, etc. For example, regarding his 2001 book Black Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism and the Politics of Identity it was mentioned that the book explored, “Subjects surveyed that include American and British neo-Nazism, the writings of Julius Evola and Francis Parker YockeySavitri Devi‘s and Miguel Serrano‘s Esoteric Nazism, belief in Nazi UFOs, neo-Nazi SatanismChristian Identity, the World Church of the Creator and Nordic Racial Paganism.”

[Note: Jorjani was the editor of Arktos Media, the publisher of Vladmir Putin’s chief intellectual, Aleksandr Dugin’s The Fourth Political Theory. Arktos Media has published Far-Right content. Jorjani is a believer in a cyclical view of history notably the Kali Yuga which as a concept was appropriated by the Nazis who themselves think they are Aryans, where Aryan is a variant of the word for Iran. Modern political pundits and provocateurs such as Steve Bannon have even been noted as having a “Kali Yuga” worldview.

Intro:

The one thing I notice about Right Wing grifters is that if they have larger legal troubles or fear getting in trouble, they often deflect their problems as being the fault of the “woke mob” or Leftists. For example, when Brian Callen got accused of sexual misconduct, it was because the system was out to get him. When Andrew Tate got in trouble for trafficking, it was because of the woke mob. Dan Bilzerian who will be talked about a lot in this post got in trouble with authorities about possible fraudulent accounting practices regarding his penny stock weed company. Patrick Bet-David, who I will refer to as PBD throughout this post, that despite never having been in trouble with the law to my knowledge, has been accused of running a Multi-Level Marketing pyramid scheme, so it is possible that since he sees no issue in how you make your money (he’s just an entrepreneur, right?) is that he understands he may be in trouble one day with the Federal government so he preemptively sides with Right Wing anti-government politics. However, I consider PBD to be an Ayn Rand and Milton Friedman disciple, so his worldview will always have a libertarian, anti-government, and Republican viewpoint. (End Intro)

But that aside, I don’t really know where to begin.

Let’s start with PBD promoting a racist talking point about how the first slaveowner in the USA was a black person. This was stated in the Valuetainment video, titled: “HATES Jewish People!” – Candace Owens & Dan Bilzerian UNDER FIRE, published on 21 August 2024

Patrick Bet David recently pushed the Right Wing lie that the first slaveowner in the United States was a black person. This is likely alluding to the story of Andrew Johnson, which has been debunked.

Tyler Parry of the African American Intellectual Historical Society (2019) stated, “In various corners of the internet, memes circulate about a Black man identified as “Anthony Johnson,” believed to be a pioneer of American slavery and the first slave owner in North America. Intended for shock value, these memes reveal the new ways people disseminate knowledge in the age of social media. Anyone with access to the internet and the necessary software can generate historical narratives that gain disconcerting popularity. Of course, memes are perfect for establishing “Myth-stories,” as they do not ask readers to evaluate the sources and are often shared prolifically.” (Parry, 2019).

Further, Perry (2019) stated, “Though it is not the only myth attached to American slavery, the meme-ing of Anthony Johnson manifests the unique challenges scholars face in combating historical misinformation. As one of the few documented Black landowners in 17th-century Virginia, his unique story has morphed into a manipulative trope used by right-wing activists. From the 1960s–90s Johnson was predominantly known among academics who studied slavery, but interest in his (misrepresented) life has recently gained traction with the advent of digital sharing, discussion sites, and public forums. For instance, as of July 12, 2019, Johnson’s Wikipedia page claims he was a “colonist” sold by “Arab slave traders,” though there is no citation for the latter claim, nor is it supported by historians. It was likely added by a user who hoped to redirect blame from the Atlantic Slave Trade toward the “Arab Slave Trade,” a popular talking point among right-wing commentators. In his podcast disputing reparations for slavery, conservative pundit Michael Knowles reiterated this myth about Johnson without reviewing the available literature. Such historical distortions seek to minimize Europe’s culpability in expanding African slavery and discredit the system’s intergenerational impact upon African Americans.” (Perry, 2019).

More can be read from the Perry (2019) article: https://www.aaihs.org/the-curious-history-of-anthony-johnson-from-captive-african-to-right-wing-talking-point/

Another source, the History Channel, stated, “On or about August 20, 1619, “20 and odd” Angolans, kidnapped by the Portuguese, arrive in the British colony of Virginia and are then bought by English colonists. The exact date is not definitively known (a letter from the time identified the ship’s arrival coming in “the latter part of August”), but this date has been chosen by many to mark the arrival of the enslaved Africans in the New World—beginning two and a half centuries of slavery in North America. Founded at Jamestown in 1607, the Virginia Colony was home to about 700 people by 1619. The first enslaved Africans to arrive in Virginia disembarked at Point Comfort, in what is today known as Fort Monroe. Most of their names, as well as the exact number who remained at Point Comfort, have been lost to history, but much is known about their journey.”  There is even a historical marker dedicated to the area where the first African slaves on American soil.

The lie that PBD casually believes in and promoted on his YouTube podcast, is just another attempt at covert white supremacist historical revisionism and revisionist contextuality (with the latter being not necessarily erasing or revising history for bias purposes, but rather trying to doctor the context of generally agreed upon historical facts for bias purposes, e.g., claiming the Irish, Anglo, or Scottish indentureship was as bad as Africans within chattel slavery).

And I understand that many people reading this might state that PBD…isn’t white.

Regardless, the fact that American society is and has largely been dictated by white men created a super-structure in which whiteness is the default position (and where blackness was designed to be the antithesis), and even newcomers who aren’t white, as they try to assimilate will adopt white supremacy as an ontological position as a means of “fitting in”, weighing values, and garnering acceptance, i.e., being a “pick me”.

By white supremacy I am not talking about “European culture” or simply existing as a white person, but rather the mentality of believing that white people must control the levers of power at the expense of others as a means of “preserving themselves” since they consider themselves superior. White supremacy is an inherently paranoid and therefore violent way of thinking, because it sees reality as a Darwinist struggle of “different species”. White supremacy is also the epitome of projection, i.e., it alleges that everyone is out to get white people, yet white supremacists use this as a means of wanting to dominate everyone else.

The hardcore capitalist mentality of PBD is naturally in bed with white supremacy, since capitalism (if left unchecked) is an inherently elitist, top down and an exploitative doctrine which has variants or styles such as colonialism, where colonialism was the main culprit for the enslavement of black people and the mass murder of Indigenous peoples. Better put, PBD being a capitalist, notably of the Ayn Randian type of “virtuous selfishness” (e.g., the global pro-business organization called the Atlas Network takes its name from Rand’s Atlas Shrugged book despite claims that it did not), where Rand was popular within paleoconservative politics of the mid-to-late twentieth century, is naturally in alignment with a colonial exploitative framework which created the foundation for anti-blackness within the West. This therefore explains why PBD often has “Freudian slips” of casual racism when arguing for legitimacy of his capitalist doctrine. Even better put further, PBD essentially believes marginalized peoples are the result of their own follies, and he disregards the deeply enshrined white supremacy that dictated American discourse for most of its history. For example, many capitalists when speaking against the government or in support of the police state which protects their property, the typical culprits are black people, such as pushing the stereotype of being black people getting “handouts”, being “welfare queens”, being inherently poor, criminal, uneducated, and lacking an entrepreneurial spirit. Even white liberals can make this subconscious instant association of blackness with defectiveness or poverty, despite these liberals yearning to reconcile the flaws of the past, yet this yearning can come off as infantilizing via something akin to the “clinical gaze”. The clinical gaze I am referring to was address by Michel Foucault and is described as “how doctors modify the patient’s story, fitting it into a biomedical paradigm, filtering out non-biomedical material” (The British Journal of General Practice. https://bjgp.org/content/63/611/312)

In other words, at least based on my understanding of the concept, this means doctors dehumanize the person and then turn the person into data, statistics, etc. So, progressive liberals can be seen at times, despite noble intent, as incidentally seeing black people for example as the embodiment of statistical data needing to be corrected. However, the Left Wing’s emphasis on qualitative experience, i.e., lived experience, has been a movement that has largely corrected the clinical gaze of older progressive liberals who inhabited a more segregated paradigm.

I take what PBD said personally since I am descended from people who suffered under slavery in the United States, mainly from the US states of Georgia and Alabama.

At minute 26:40 of the video, PBD states talks about how one of the black descendants of Thomas Jefferson was wanting to erase history for not liking Jefferson statues. At minute 28:10 he states that the first slave owner was black, and his co-host Andrew Siosik agrees with them. First off, PBD does not get the point that by having a statue you are not just learning about that history, but rather you are celebrating and idolizing that history. No one is saying we can’t learn about Jefferson or even later Confederate soldiers, but rather people are raising the question of whether we should celebrate them, since a statue, i.e., a monument, ends up memorializing the person or persons.

But the fact remains that what PBD said is a flat out lie used by white supremacists as a means of taking the steam out of black people’s argument when discussing their lived experiences in relation to white supremacy such as being profiled, followed, any many cases killed. White supremacy is not about simply conquering a people but getting the people who were conquered to blame themselves for their lots in life. Yet ironically, white supremacy despite pushing notions that it is the most superior, also likes to play victim politics as a means of pre-emptively attacking and keeping down those which it rules over. By revising history, in this matter regarding PBD, it robs black people of authentic justification to be angry and tries to use reverse psychology to get black people to blame themselves and “look into the mirror”, i.e., judge ourselves.

White supremacy, in which many immigrants align with as they try to fit into the larger status quo and super-structure of American society, is what PBD panders to without even understanding it I think. In other words, he is very ignorant about the complexities of US history, but since he aligns himself with the profit seeking capitalist Right Wing, he applies as right wing historical revisionism to history (despite, the full history of the United States not being his own history). This mentality is very similar to the child of immigrants, such as Fit (real name Amrou Fudl) from the Fresh and Fit podcasts, who despite being of African origin has adopted a right-wing, Darwinist, Bell-Curve statistical viewpoint. Fit from the Fresh and Fit podcast has called black people stupid, lazy, and acted as a primate when describing black Americans.

PDB, Fit, and other immigrants or children of immigrants often swing down on black Americans because black America is historically the most swung down on race in the United States, and swinging down on blackness is almost a rite of passage when trying to assimilate into the predominate white superstructure. I would recommend you watch this video about Ferris State’s Museum dedicated towards understanding America’s racism.

Patrick Bet-David’s casual Antisemitism

But let me switch up to what I consider to be the subconscious antisemitism within Patrick Bet David’s mindset despite his claims of being a Christian Zionist. Separately, it is important to note that PBD doesn’t call himself Iranian (e-rahn-ian) but Assyrian, despite being born and raised in his early years in Iran. Back on track, I have been noticing that PBD has been pushing antisemitic tropes despites him appearing to seem to defend Jewish people in his recent discussion with Dan Bilzerian. Further, Patrick Bet David pushed more Jewish stereotypes in his group discussion about Candace Owens and PBD helped push the antisemitic George Soros conspiracy theory on the Flagrant 2 Podcast with Andrew Schulz. The video is titled, Patrick Bet-David Explains Who George Soros is & Why He’s Important in Society

Hannes Grassegger (2019) of Buzzfeed wrote a piece about how two Jewish political consultants helped to push the George Soros conspiracy theory. It is my understanding that they did this because of Soros’ criticism towards the Zionist project and the treatment of Palestinians, yet, by pushing a new version of the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” conspiracy theory with Soros as the main villain, the real rise in antisemitism would create top cover for Zionists by making them into victims able to deflect away from their own mechanizations, plans, agendas, etc. Better put, these Jewish consultants scarified Soros for the cause of expanding Zionism yet also putting pressure on one of its biggest critics being George Soros.

The hatred towards Soros is laughable considering he is just one billionaire and the Right Wing who love capitalism are incapable of pointing out any plausible conspiracies from non-Jewish billionaires. The hatred towards Soros is not only lazy but it is just another form of white supremacist projectionism, i.e., desiring the capitalist avarice but only for themselves, and when a Jewish person plays and wins the game, the lizard brain of white supremacy descends into paranoid manic conspiracy theories. However, it is not just white supremacy that pushes antisemitism but also black militant politics such as the tomfoolery of people such as Louis Farrakhan, who ironically visited Iran to do give an antisemitic speech.

Note that this article was done in 2019 yet as of 2024, the Israeli state under Netanyahu has not only raised Gaza (with Zionists even blocking and destroying humanitarian aid to Gazans) but the IDF has also invaded the West Bank which has ever-growingly become conquered by Israeli settlers.

Grassegger (2019) stated, “The demonization of Soros is one of the defining features of contemporary global politics, and it is, with a couple of exceptions, a pack of lies. Soros is indeed Jewish. He was an aggressive currency trader. He has backed Democrats in the US and Karl Popper’s notion of an “open society” in the former communist bloc. But the many wild and proliferating theories, which include the suggestion that he helped bring down the Soviet Union in order to clear a path to Europe for Africans and Arabs, are so crazy as to be laughable — if they weren’t so virulent.”

The article by Grassegger (2019) talks about how Jews, George Birnbaum and Arthur Finklestein helped create the Soros conspiracy. [The article can be found at: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/hnsgrassegger/george-soros-conspiracy-finkelstein-birnbaum-orban-netanyahu]

Back to the video by Valuetainment, titled: “HATES Jewish People!” – Candace Owens & Dan Bilzerian UNDER FIRE, published on 21 August 2024, which as of August 22, 2024 at 3:17 PST has amassed 284,110 views. Contributor and co-host, Andrew Sosnick, who is of Jewish descent, actually justifies getting into bed with the Far Right if it means helping defeat Kamala Harris. Sosnick in a past video that I don’t have the title of or the time-stamp on has been accused or belittle by PBD for being soft on Democrats, so I feel Sosnik has to continue to double down on right wing rhetoric for his own credibility within the largely right-wing oriented, male, crypto bro, dating guru, Bell Curve statistic believing sphere of the Red Pill section of YouTube.

Adam quoted the recent Ronald Reagan movie starring Denis Quaid (who they called a friend), by stating “A person who agrees with you 80% of time is a friend an ally, not a 20% traitor”. Adam referenced this quote in relation to white supremacist Nick Fuentes and Far Right pundits such as Candace Owens criticizing the MAGA movement and Donald Trump. Adam, making a false equivalency between Joe Biden and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, one being center left and the often being left (some say “far left), justifies the Neo Nazis of the American First movement, Goyim Defense League, Groypers, etc., being part of MAGA. To me this common sense because Nazis, survivalists, race realists, antisemites, anti-feminists, anti-LGBTQ have always been apart of the modern Republican Party, so Adam is simply admitting what Democrats and the Left allege the Right actually is.

The irony to me is further exacerbate since Adam being Jewish is essentially arguing for a type of amoral realpolitik and pragmatism, which is something that Israel has been criticized for as far as achieving their objectives such as how Israel contracted a Nazi such as Otto Skorzeny to hunt other Nazis despite Otto Skorzeny starting various Neo Nazi organizations which endangered Jews across the globe.

Instead, Adam should have stated, “We don’t need you. Good riddance”, yet that doesn’t seem to enter his head.

Next off in the segment, another co-host, Vinnie Oshana, goes off to allege how the media is controlled by the Left, but fails to realize (if true) that this is not a manufactured conspiracy but possibly (and, most likely) the natural trajectory of American media since the US is a melting pot and has become more socially aware and accepting over the last sixty years.

It’s not that the mainstream media is biased but rather media is reflecting where most of the people are today. If we view the content of OAN, Newsmax, etc., most of that content is highly alienating and arguably offensive. Conservative media, art, etc., is not intended to be inclusive or accepting, and since capitalism is about market expansion, most media would lean progressive since they would have a larger pool of potential customers, etc. This seems like something a self-ascribed capitalist should know but Vinnie’s intent is to weave another needle in the right narrative of conservative victimhood despite their own propensity for bullying people outside the traditional Western norms. This goes back to my earlier points about PBD in which his type of capitalist beliefs has historically been in alignment with right-wing and far-right politics. PBD wants capitalism but a capitalism that only has a media that feeds into supporting the larger supremacist superstructure that hides behind the levers of power, i.e., the status quo.

In the discussion with Bilzerian, PBD around minute 1:01:10 starts talking about…Jewgenics, which is the study of Jews allegedly having higher IQs than everyone else. After, talking about this quasi “Bell Curve” talking point, PBD then goes to talk about how Jews are successful because of unity and higher IQs, thus they make “better decisions”. Sure, this may be flattering on the surface, but it does thread upon stereotyping a people, when there are many Jewish people living in poverty or in lower income demographics. We can debates studies on the matter all day, but the success of Jewish people seems (emphasis on seems) to be more environmental such as children (often bilingual since they are learning Hebrew and the language of the nations, they are citizens of), develop stronger linguistic and reading comprehension skills. This mixed with expectations and what I consider to be the multiplier effect of opportunity, i.e., uplifting each other despite academic performance, i.e., giving each other “a shot”, helps to incubate sub-communities of the larger Jewish community (which has segments that are impoverished, uneducated, under-employed, etc.) towards success.

We can even add on notions of inheritance to children, and the cultural traditional of giving financial donations that many Jewish children get during Bar and Bat Mitzvah’s that help train children how to deal or invest money, etc. It is almost a trope about how many Jewish teens get money from family members and use that money in something akin to venture capital to go start their first businesses. In other words, supportive environments with strong professional connections to get an inside leverage on jobs in exclusive industries – even if starting out as unpaid interns – mixed with children developing stronger bilingual, linguistic, and reading comprehension skills would generally produce “smarter children” in any race or culture.

PBD effectively is pushing the notion of seeing Jews as “lucky” or “lucky charms”.

At minute, 1:07:35, PBD brings up that portrait with the Shah of Iran. He goes to stated that the Shah actually oppressed the Jews and called out the “Zionist media”, and because of this his beloved Shah was removed from power.

This statement is strange because it seems PBD is trying to relate to and agree with Bilzerian and attempts to acknowledge that a “global Zionist plot” is possible or has been involved in regime change. So, it seems PBD trying to relate to the points of Bilzerian is alleging that because the Shah oppressed Jews that they somehow removed the Shah and installed the Ayatollah. If this is true, this means that PBD has revised history to totally disregard the abuse that the Shah imposed on his people overall (secret police, torture, abhorrent wealth hording and lavish lifestyles, etc.), and that his relationship with the US government, who were supportive of Israel, is a reason for the rise of the radical Islamic Ayatollah. The Shah was suffering from cancer and was allowed to get treatment within the United States, and this provoked the Iranians who were angry with the Shah and wanted him returned to Iran to face trail.

PBD despite objectifying the Jews from a standpoint of wealth that he admires, he then panders to the possibility of right-wing conspiracy such as “global Jewry”, “the Zionist occupied government”, etc. To me it is more about environment and incentive than supernatural forces or genetics, though genetics may play a role, though genetics are so complicated – with mutations happening all the time – that it seems rather objectifying to distill success down to pure genetic characteristics.

We also fall into the trap of defining intelligence based on a pre-conceived set of standards but who determined the standards? Creativity may outweigh concrete concepts like math or science in certain situations.

At minute 1:23:08, PBD goes off about how fascist and communists got rid of religion in order to support “materialism” and this was done to control people.

This is an odd statement because sure, yes, totalitarian regimes – both left and right – have employed erasing religion as a means of control, however…. religion was used since the beginning of religion to control people. PDB brings this up I suspect because it feeds back into his propensity for oversimplistic binary thinking, where in essence he is actually referring to dialectical materialism of Marx as being the culprit for what he see as the moral decay of the West and attacks against wealth.

This therefore can lead one to start pushing allegations of “cultural Marxism” against those who do not represent or bow down to the traditional status quo. In other words, conservatives can allege that people wanting rights are somehow employing “Marxism” has a means of “destroying hierarchy”, when in essence, people just want rights.

It is important to note that these Cultural Marxist allegations are ironically anchored in part in antisemitism, and contemporary figures such as Jordan Peterson who uses terms such as “Postmodern Neo-Marxists” are simply rehashing and repacking this cultural Marxist or cultural Bolshevik term employed by the likes of the Nazis for a new generation. A new generation which includes Dan Bilzerian.

Around minutes 1:25:29, Bilzerian asks PBD if Nazis are bad and PBD simply says “depends on who you ask”. Seriously? So PBD somehow thinks he is a defender of “Jewish people”, some sort of Cyrus the Great from Persia, yet, he cannot even straight up say that Nazis are bad and that it is all subjective?

The issue with Bilzerian’s question is that he is using the question to set up for his following false equivalencies. Bilzerian doesn’t distinguish German people from Nazis, as a means of alleging that not all Nazis were bad. He is making it sound as if the Western propaganda against Muslims during the Global War on Terrorism is somehow equal to stereotyping all Nazis. The difference is that the Nazis were a political party, i.e., a hate group, so yes all were bad, yet, Muslims are a religion so not all are bad, but Bilzerian is trying to use the “don’t stereotype” people notion because of their religion as a means of defending not stereotyping all Nazis. This therefore feeds into the foundation of Bilzerian’s ever-growing antisemitic lens. He is effectively saying without saying that the Nazis were good people, and they had a reason for disliking the Jews. The Nazis were pure evil. Many Nazis that survived the war never renounced their allegiance to Hitler and many died as ardent Holocaust deniers.

The creepy thing about living in the twenty-twenties and beyond is that the internet has repackaged old antisemitism and racism for a new generation of meme making, video game playing, technologically saturated youths who look up to people such as Elon Musk, where Musk promotes racist talking points all the time. This trend seems indicative of the inherent fear of many white people and the need for many to push apartheid like politics and sentiments. Online on YouTube for example, it is common to see Rhodesia nostalgia videos or Rhodesian military analysis videos which paints the Rhodesians has heroic rather than a Jim Crow racist pariah state. It is also common to see World War II videos pointing out the bravery of the SS. White supremacists have appropriated the self-determination of marginalized groups to push towards a new “White Identity politics”, where white supremacist can finally celebrate being different, separate, and superior to others. Many individuals within immigrant groups such as Indians, Iranians, Cubans, Mexicans, etc., often wish to be included into the right-wing white superstructure because of its perceived higher value.

Dan Bilzerian represents what happens when society has such a lack of discourse around the state of Israel and its politics that people then find themselves listening to good-faith but mostly bad-faith analysis of Israel, where the bad-faith side is of course steeped in a literal mistrust, hatred, and fear of Jews. This is something that Vinnie Ohsana on the the PBD segment alluded to but didn’t outright state.

What I mean by good-faith is pragmatic analysis of Israel indifferent to ethnicity of Jewish people, e.g., criticizing their government but not hating Jews. The lack of discourse in contemporary politics around Israel has enabled fringe ideologies to dictate the discourse, even if presenting their arguments as professional, restrained, well-researched, etc.

The typical subjects within this contemporary antisemitism involves a range of topics such as (1) 9/11 was in inside job and that a group of “dancing Israelis” celebrated because this meant that Netanyahu and the Mossad, etc., could drag the US into wars in the Middle East for the protection of Israel, (2) the USS Liberty attack by Israeli Air Force and alleged involvement in the 1983 Beirut barracks bombings (3) the plausibility of Jeffrey Epstein being some sort of blackmailing intel asset for Mossad to make sure US politicians towed the line of AIPAC, WJC, etc. (4) the Jews allegedly controlling hip-hop, pornography, sports, etc., which helps conservatives point to Jews as being responsible for “moral decay” or “bread and circus” antics — despite the fact that many Jews are ultra conservative, follow Kosher laws, etc. However, the rebuttal is that despite Jews being conservative mostly, they have no problem in “corrupting” the goyim who have “lesser souls” (5) the over-representation on Jews in prominent positions, etc. (6) George Soros, who as a billionaire has spent his money on progressive causes to the ire of conservatives. Soros has found himself unilaterally being blamed for the current state of the world despite in the USA and Europe, most of the wealth or socio-political power is still largely white, male, and Christian, etc. (7) the Rothchilds via “central banking” have turned nations into slaves for the Jews, etc., (8) Jewish participation in the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, (9) Jewish male “neuroticism” and the wavering between being unassertive versus a Might Makes Right clinical view of power, etc. (10) the Jews we see today are not the real Jews but Caucus peoples called Khazars who converted to Judaism to distinguish themselves from Muslims and Christians, who later migrated into Europe, so they have no legal claim on the lands in current day Israel (11) Jewish men enjoy abusing “shiksa” or Gentile Women

Antisemitism happens across racial, ethnic, and nationalistic lines, often where the develops an intersectionality of antisemitism depending on whichever group is promoting it. For example, antisemitism in the African American or Black-American community often centered around being denied power, whereas antisemitism in white people often centers around their power being corrupted and drained.

For example, around 2018 – 2020, on YouTube there was a creator called Adam Green, who went under the moniker, Know More News. He had guests such as Ryan Dawson who has been accused of holocaust denial.

I had watched quite a bit of the content because at first it seemed like a genuine criticism of plausibly shady dealing with Israel, such spying on campus protestors who support the BDS (Boycott, Divest, and Sanction) movement, but also Israel being home to many US tech companies and how this sharing of technology (and possible theft thereof) of US trade secrets, etc., has damaged American primacy.

Yet slowly but surely Adam Green started pushing the theory that the Talmud endorses hatred towards the “goy” or “goyim” (gentiles, non-Jews, etc.). He also started mixing in very common conspiracy theories about Jews such as Jews controlling the hip-hop industry as a means on enslaving black people and destroying the family unit (despite Adam Green likely being a white supremacist or at least adjacent to many of their talking points).

I actually wrote about Adam Green in another post relating to RFJ, Jr., where RFK himself has said antisemitic things.

Side note. The Right Wing is attempting to paint the Political Left as antisemitic because they are protesting the bombings in Gaza. Yet, the Right Wing my entire life have been the ones in bed with actual white supremacist antisemites. Look into Willis Carto or Eustace Mullins where Mullins is notable helping push the myth that Jews are behind the Federal Reserve. For example, the John Birch Society – a right-wing conspiracy organization – which was founded in part by th Bradley Family (who are related to the Uihlein Family who fund figures such as Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA), had splintered into the National Alliance, a white supremacist organization founded by William Luther Pierce and Revilo P. Oliver. Piece, author of the Turner Diaries, inspired hate groups such as The Order, who killed Jewish radio host, Alan Berg, but also this book inspired Tim McVeigh who did the Oklahoma City Bombing.

There are many links between conservatism and the Far Right, and ironically MAGA inspired the Far Right to change their appearance from skinheads for example, but rather into young ideological men in suits with modern haircuts, etc.

Other thoughts on PBD

Patrick Bet David is a….self-made millionaire…who allegedly made his money by running a Multi Level Marketing insurance company where he siphoned off the profits in order to inflate his own personal brand dubbed Valuetainment (which includes his PBD Podcast).

Patrick to me after having watched his material for years is a proponent of unfettered capitalism (almost teetering upon the libertarianism of The Atlas Network, Mont Pelerin Society, Mises Institute, etc.), social conservatism, etc. For example, Patrick Bet David in his home has a portrait with him, Tupac, Einstein, Martin Luther King, Milton Friedman, The Shah of Iran, etc. Within the portrait, there are the books Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand (hence proving his links to Atlas Network type of anarcho-capitalist and libertarian thinking) and the Communist Manifesto. These two books best explain Patrick’s dialectic framework. It’s either “freedom” or “communism”, i.e., a hardliner yet oversimplified way of thinking.

Patrick despite maybe having changed his name to “Bet David” which insinuates a connection to Judaism, despite him being Iranian (he prefers Assyrian), ironically panders to antisemitic talking points and stereotypes despite what his almost scripted defense of Israel and Jews. Yet, Patrick has such as an oversimplistic and binary way of thinking mixed with his use of cherry picked statistics, that he sometimes comes off as gruff, unrefined, and in many ways simply pandering to current conservative landscape, notably online, which is comprised of everything spanning the Man-o-sphere (Men’s Rights Movement, Red Pill movement, Fresh & Fit podcast, etc.), Cryptocurrency community (a medium of exchange which has been linked to libertarianism on the surface, but organized crime under the surface), Trad-Wife Movement (via Pearl Davis, via Just Pearly Things), COVID skeptics, but also the George Soros Conspiracy (which is important to this piece I am writing).

Far Right love for Indo-European and Indo-Aryan Studies. PBD, Jorjani, etc.

PBD being Right Wing reminded me of the curious case of Jordan Jorjani. Jorjani of partial Iranian heritage was a professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology but was fired I believe after being videotaped talking about a new world order of Aryans. He says it was taken out of context. Regardless, from what I know about Jorjani, who can be seen from time to time contributing to “New Age” podcasts on subjects such as time-travel and aliens, is that his main thesis is that Aryans, i.e., a Proto Indo-European peoples, whose traditions were best manifested in ancient Persia during the times Zoroaster, where corrupted and “mongrel-ized” by the Asiatic Muslims of the Mongols. These Aryans had spread sacred knowledge and in order to save the world, the world needs to adopt an Evola or Rene Guenon like return to traditionalism. He wishes to reinvigorate the Aryan spirit, invoking something asking to the Übermensch concept of Nietzsche in writings such as Thus Spoke Zarathustra which gave us terms such as “Will to Power”. This affinity with the Indo-European or Indo-Iranian or Aryan research is of course common within Nazi and white supremacist concepts. Many white supremacists however push that the original Aryans were blonde haired, blue eyed. Yet, most mainstream researchers seem to think of Aryans as a class of peoples within the social structures of the Steppe peoples of Central Eurasia, who may have domesticated the horse and spread their language west towards Southwest Russia and modern-day Ukraine but also as far as East as the Iranian basin and Indian subcontinent. Regardless, Patrick Bet David without saying it, though very prideful of his Assyrian origins seems to point here and there to being of a noble lineage that laid the foundation of Western civilization, but I had also heard him say somewhere that his language is the same that Jesus spoke, which may be true if he’s talking about a particular strain of Aramaic, notably that of Levant region.

There have been notable Right Wing or Alt-Right YouTubers such as Survive the Jive, who devotes his entire time to promoting Aryanism in as much of an academic sense as he can.

Jorjani however to me represents the “Kook Right Wing” at its finest. There’s something both quack but also Lovecraftian where of course H.P. Lovecraft was a notorious racist. He reminds me of a kind of Ghostbusters gone bad researcher who may have been a contributor to P.E.A.R, i.e., the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Lab, if it were still in existence.

Revisiting my Starship Troopers Thesis. How Javier Milei’s quest to Dollarize Argentina mimics Heinlein’s novel and Verhoven’s film. On Dollarization in a post Petrodollar World by MRG Staff

(Update 9/28/25) Since I wrote this, Javier Milei is taking a $20 billion bridge loan from Trump, which to me strengthens my argument relating to the dollarization of Argentina.

According to Newsweek, “Trump Admin’s $20 Billion ‘Bail Out’ for Argentina’s Milei Raises Eyebrows” (Published Sep 25, 2025 at 03:06 PM EDT, updatedSep 25, 2025 at 04:17 PM EDT0:12), by Mandy Taheri.

“The Trump administration says it is working to provide tens of billions of dollars to Argentina’s President Javier Milei, in a financial bailout that many critics say clashes with President Donald Trump’s “America First” platform.The U.S. State Department told Newsweek Thursday that the America First Foreign Assistance programs must align with administration policies and advance concrete U.S. national interests.Why It MattersOn Wednesday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed the United States is in talks to provide $20 billion to Milei. The announcement comes months after the Trump administration dismantled the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in an effort to instead support programs aligned with Trump’s “America First” agenda.” https://www.newsweek.com/trump-admins-20-billion-bail-out-for-argentinas-milei-raises-eyebrows-10780604 (End of update).

Intro: See my past posts

Is Milei a stooge of the global banking syndicates simply trying to implement austerity measures as a means of handing over the Argentina economy to corporations? Is he a faux populist who is handing Argentina’s monetary policy over to the US Federal Reserve, International Bank of Settlements, etc.? Or is Milei a genius who is making a tough short-term decision in order for Argentina to finally see sustained long term growth?

Disclaimer: I am just writing. I do not think that there is necessarily a direct correlation or grand plan to bring to life the fictional world of the book or movie Starship Troopers. Rather, what is going on in Argentina with their economic woes is likely just the case of the realities of the globalized world which runs on Keynesian economics, where some countries have the power (control of the money supplies, governing institutions, military alliances, etc.), others don’t have power (often being relegated to resource depots for the Industrial North), and those who seem as if they should have more power but just seem to be laggards – but, not necessarily because of their own faults explicitly, but rather it is hard to economically plan in a world with so many uncertainties, variables, wars, environmental changes, etc.

However, what is happening in Argentina does mirror – softly – what appears in the 1997 film of Starship Troopers, even if we are speaking in mere analogous terms. Yet, approaching this post from a literal or analogy standpoint, we can still help to grow our perceptions, deconstruct history, categorize and organize data, etc., particularly pertaining to understanding fascism, racism, imperialism, etc. One thing that is certainly real in our real world, is that there are doubts about liberal democracy, there are demographic shifts where the Anglo post-colonial New World is merging with the Latin post-colonial New World, but there is also the eerie 1920’s or 1930’s rise of autocratic leaders.

When autocrats rise and international institutions collapse, history has shown that there is more dark than light. And, all we can do is pray that light wins out. One of my big ideas on this site is that books such as Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein and the Ender’s Game Saga by Orson Scott Card eerily foreshadowed real world political events or attempts at alliances, etc.

So let’s talk about how Argentine President Javier Milei plans on “dollarizing” the Argentine economy.

According to Valentina Demalde (2/15/2024) of the Business Review at Berkley (BRB), “Dollarization as a potential economic strategy for Argentina presents several compelling advantages. Foremost, it promises currency stability and inflation control, a precious commodity in a nation with a history of hyperinflation and devaluation. This stability can instill trust among investors and the public, offering a predictable economic environment. With a stable U.S. dollar, Argentina may enjoy lower interest rates, a boon for businesses and individuals alike, making borrowing more affordable. Furthermore, adopting the U.S. dollar can attract foreign investment, with investors favoring countries with stable and widely accepted currencies. This influx of foreign capital can stimulate economic growth. Additionally, businesses engaged in international trade would benefit from reduced transaction costs, as they would no longer need to navigate currency exchange. Finally, dollarization can promote financial integration with the global economy, potentially increasing trade and investment in Argentina.

Dollarization in Argentina presents several potential drawbacks. Most notably, it entails relinquishing control over domestic monetary policy, a vital tool for governments to manage economic challenges— Milei sees this as an advantage due to a lack of trust in the government’s management. The prospect of dependence on the U.S. economy is concerning, as it would make Argentina vulnerable to U.S. economic fluctuations and shocks. However, Milei’s plan to increase trade with the U.S. aims to address this issue. Dollarization also carries a risk of exacerbating short-term social inequality, as those with access to U.S. dollars may initially benefit, although proponents like Milei argue that the long-term effects of a stable economy will ultimately improve the overall situation of society. The loss of seigniorage, while viewed as a pro by some, poses a significant drawback as it could limit the government’s capacity to fund public spending. Finally, the transition to a dollarized economy could trigger political unrest and opposition from stakeholders invested in maintaining the status quo.” [Source: https://businessreview.studentorg.berkeley.edu/javier-mileis-dollarization-vision-a-new-era-for-argentinas-economy/#:~:text=He%20emphasizes%20a%20gradual%20approach%20to%20dollarization%2C%20driven,align%20with%20the%20preferences%20of%20the%20Argentine%20population.]

Does Milei’s dollarization effort by proxy absorb Argentina into the sphere of American power and hegemony? Yes and no. American dollars were already in high demand in countries such as Argentina because of their purchasing power, so Milei’s idea could be argued as institutionalizing what people have already been doing out of necessity to survive. Argentines get dollars often but not always from black market currency dealers, but since it is illegal, dealers can sell at higher rates than what banks offer to exchange, yet Argentine banks limited how much currency you could covert thus creating the black market.

Yet, even if Milei’s idea will work, there could be certain ramifications – for better or worse, once Argentina accomplishes full dollarization. Despite having focused on economics in my undergraduate business education, I am no expert economist by any means. However, let’s logically think through somethings.

Argentine Pesos are less valuable that American Dollars, so American dollars are far more expensive to obtain. If you have a lot of something that is near worthless and you’re trying to get something that is far more expensive, you’re only going to be able afford a smaller amount of that more expensive product. So, dollarization seems deflationary in nature. It is essentially the argument of gold standard advocates to go back to the gold standard, but rather instead of using gold, which is truly deflationary. There’s not enough fungible gold in the world to prop up the sheer size of the global economy as well as fund future innovation which is often funded by running government deficits as a form stimulus. Milei is treating the US Dollar as something akin to gold. The USD is relatively stable, people trust America’s banking system (even when it collapses on itself such as post 2008 crash), the US has the most sway over the SWIFT banking system, it has a strong military with fast striking capability that not only has strong air/space superiority but also protects the high seas where global trade happens via shipping, etc. The United States has also affected the world as far as fashion, music, language, art, etc., where everyone on Earth is a little bit “American”. For example, the relatively racial (not ethnic) homogenous Chinese and Russian populations do not have the cultural vigor and gravitas that the USA does (i.e., dynamism as Zbigniew Brzezinski, author of the Grand Chessboard (1997), may have said), since American culture is largely a melting pot glued together with an Anglo English (lingua franca) logos largely defined by pragmatism. India with Bollywood has more sway than any art coming from China or Russia into the West.

Yet, by deflating the money supply, there will be less money as far as volume goes, even though whatever volume arises it will have more value. To have more of something that is worthless, or to have less of something that is worth more?

The goal it seems to have less of something that is worth more because once you get it, you have something people are willing to transact with, thus this move could help promote future growth and investment. It is as if he is whacking down a forest with blight, just to invest in more expensive seed and hope a healthier forest grows back sooner than later.

But dollars just won’t just fall into the lap of the Argentines.

They will have to purchase them or earn them. Or, be gifted them. By earning them, they can sell their products (exports) and demand payment in only US dollars and then not reconvert those dollars they earn to Argentine Pesos or hold those US dollars in bank vaults but peg the circulating pesos to the number of US dollars held in reserve. Or they can take out loans at US dictated interests’ rates and then use those dollars backed loans to stimulate economies, hopefully make money, and use parts of their profit to pay off interests or principal payments; yet, if they do this, it could create a cyclical effect for the better, because if they are able to use those dollar based loans to stimulate economies enough to attached foreign investments, they can dictate those investment also be done in dollars, thus increasing the overall volume of US dollars in circulation, thus increase overall value of the overall economy as a whole. Yet, the issue with borrowing US dollars (taking out loans in US dollars) is that interest rates are not historically low anymore and institutions can add on top of the base federal funds rate, e.g., the Fed sets a base rate, but a bank may add onto that base rate to develop their Annual Percentage Rate/Annual Percentage Yield’s on consumer credit.

The United States since it has so much sway over the IMF (International Monetary Fund) which has a debt plan already with Argentina, it may be beneficial to “give” Argentina dollars since the US can print money.

In the wake of the expiration of the Petrodollar agreement between the USA and Saudi Arabia, the world is relatively calm. I noticed watching certain stock news outlets and programs on TV, that no one talked about it. The only people talking about it were doomsday cryptocurrency advocates, who of course want fear just like gold speculators to bolster their price of their own assets. But, with the petrodollar scheme having expired (assuming the Saud’s won’t want to re-enter a newly negotiated agreement), the US dollar will need other means of propping up its currency in a multi-polar world where once emerging economies are rising powers such as Brazil, India, Nigeria, (outside of China) etc.

The USD is fine. If the Euro is fine, the USD is more than fine considering the global influence the US has, including already established relationships with oil producing countries who can fill the void (diversify the role) where the Saud’s left off. If anything, this move by the Sauds may move them closer to China and thus Russia, but that thus pulls them away from the Western influence they may have had, and pushes the USA closer to friendly and more conducive oil partnership nations with Norway, Canada, Mexico, Nigeria, etc.

The USA is also a net exporter of oil as well itself, and is transitioning to alternative energy sources such as lithium based EVs (which Argentina has lots of as far as lithium), nuclear power, etc. Also, in a dreamworld, the USA would have an improved relationship with Venezuela and get them to play a larger role in a new type of petrodollar role, such as them doing oil transactions in US dollars and investing excess oil into US treasuries in exchange for foreign direct investment, lifting sanctions, and debt cancellation from the USA and other international creditors. It makes no sense that Donald Trump can talk to North Korea and the conservatives don’t lambast him, but the moment someone tries to talk to Cuba, Venezuela, etc., all of a sudden you become unpatriotic.

Milei’s idea may work. Tough times will a happen as the money supply deflates (evaporates) thus hurting the working classes who need…money, even if it’s the less valuable peso. Yet, if Argentina can dollarize, the nation will de facto act like any other US territory. Argentina would likely have to enter into a free trade agreement to make it all worthwhile and better sync its economy from top-to-bottom with the United States which would include correlating its business/trading day to that of the USA; expanding sister city agreements with US cities and establishing exchange programs for students; expanding student visa agreements and entering into comprehensive research agreements with college institutions; voting in favor of the USA on international governing bodies such as the UN; entering in mutual security and law enforcement pacts; implementing more stringent US food and safety standards on consumer goods and foods, and possibly even permitting the US to house troops in Argentina to conduct joint-exercises (which could be a way of bridging any historical tensions between Argentina and the British), etc. We already have Messi in Miami… This sounds cheesy but a big part of diplomacy is sports, culture, etc.

If so, in a weird way, this sort of goes back to my “Starship Troopers” theory I have written about earlier, which is essentially how Starship Troopers is happening notably the Hispanicization of the USA, Argentina’s role in the 1997 film of Starship Troopers (and its real-world history of fascism), the militarization of feminism to support the Military Complex. Also, my Starship Trooper’s thesis involves rising tensions with China, exacerbated by the Trump Administration’s Steve Bannon of the Council on National Policy and this administration’s odd connections to The Epoch Times, Falun Gong, Guo Wengui. Note: Erik Prince, worked for Hong Kong based security company, Frontier Services Group, led by Johnson Ko, where both Ko was a board member of Cambridge Analytica’s successor company, Emerdata, where Cambridge Analytica was used by Steve Bannon with funding from the Mercer Family – owners of Breitbart Media – to help Trump in 2016. Second Note: Tiawan was founded by the Right-Wing nationalist leader Chiang Kai Shek, and Taiwan was later headquarters to the World Anti-Communist League, which was an organization known for admitted ex Nazi war criminals.

Also, there is the Republican Party’s courting of Russia which is an autocratic society (this is similar to the Russian Anglo-American alliance in the Starship Troopers universe). We cannot also forget the rise of Right Wing Kookery as best seen in the social network surrounding pop figures such as Joe Rogan who has invited speakers that span John Birch-like paranoid Right Wingers such as Alex Jones, Theosophists, UFO believers, shamans, Jungian advocates such as JB Peterson….a lot of things which can lead to Neo Nazis.

The books of scholar Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke studied the occultic roots of Nazi in books such as The Occultic Roots of Nazism (1985) and Black Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism and the Politics of Identity (2022), the role of oddball Darwinist billionaires such as Elon Musk, etc. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sun_(Goodrick-Clarke_book). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Occult_Roots_of_Nazism].

Robert Heinlein had a syncretic political worldview. It seems contradictory if you get hippies but then also some radical pre-Alex Jones John Bircher’s liking your works. Inspired by both left wing and right-wing thought, his views could be considered 3rd Position or 3rd Way. He was influenced by Upton Sinclair’s socialism, the early basic universal income ideas (social credit) of C.H. Douglas, but the later adopted a more conservative, hawkish worldview. Heinlein was a libertarian in older age but sympathetic to socialism in his youth and he seems to have blended both, which is best viewed in the film adaptation of Starship Troopers in 1997 in my personal opinion. Heinlein to me represents the transition of Socialism’s acceptance in pre-WWII America, which in itself was a response to the Great Depression and embrace of earlier Progressive Era sentiments, to the post-WWII indictment of anything socialism, notably communism. This post-WWII shift of the late forties to early mid-fifties was a time where some very patriotic Americans who were socialist, shifted towards anti-socialist thoughts as hostilities arose with the USSR.

Heinlein’s emphasized personal responsibility and individual rights/liberty, yet did believe in the state, yet seems to have believed more in a populist as opposed to totalitarian type of state.

But Heinlein did support military and certain levels of government force when it comes to national defense and also “protecting us from ourselves” notably in regard to nuclear weapons. It seems confusing, but the best way to try to figure out “Heinlein-ism” as I might call it, is to play with terms such as calling it “right leaning, yet inclusive, global autocracy with an emphasis on the voluntaryist state that blends elements of both libertarianism and socialism, where the right of the franchise (voting) is granted to those willing to die to protect the body politic”. By Right leaning, I mean a devotion to the military and meritocracy, yet inclusive in that the meritocracy transcends notions such as race or nationality. [Note: There is a theory that neoconservatism was created by ex-Trotskyites, which has some basis in reality, but this theory seems more created by antisemitic paleoconservatives best typified by figures such as Pat Buchanan. See article by Bill King, 2004: https://enterstageright.com/archive/articles/0304/0304neocontrotp1.htm)

In 1959, Robert Heinlein published the science fiction novel, Starship Troopers. The book details a world after World War III where war veterans take over the governments of the world and establish a world federation based on meritocracy where in order to vote (the franchise) one must serve in the military. Per the novel form memory, the Anglo-American and Russian Alliance (which oddly reminded me of Trump’s aspirations with Vladimir Putin in previous writings) went to war with China, yet the Western powers essentially lost and settled with the Chinese at the Treaty of New Delhi. Yet, veterans were sprawled across the planet, and many having made it back to their homeland (with feelings of betrayal), found that modern society was decaying. A few veteran groups in order to combat violent crime and lawlessness started taking justice into their own hands (eerily harkening back to the post-WWI German veteran groups of Bavaria, the Weimar Republic, etc., which later evolved into the Nazis and their Brownshirts). Having established a quasi-governmental faction in their own right, this veteran collective eventually overthrew the scientists who were running western democracies. [Note: Blanquism is a form of putschism and it is interesting to note that the Nazis tried their own putsch with the Beer Hall Putsch in 1923]. Yet, these scientists attempted a Blanquist coup against the veterans in the Revolt of Scientists yet were beat. [ After that, the world slowly became a world federalist government ran by veterans, where in order to vote one must service the state with military service. Those who serve are called Citizens and those who do not are called Civilians. Citizens can vote, hold public office, etc. The new government that is established is the Terran Federation where differences of nation, race, gender, etc., don’t seem to matter but rather if a person serves in the military or does not, does matter. After this human world government is established, humans find themselves in conflict with an alien species, i.e., Arachnids from a planet called Klendathu.

In the 1997 film adaption by auteur director Paul Verhoven, is a satire of Heinlein’s presumably serious political treatise laid out in the 1959 book. Paul Verhoven and Ed Neumeier, who both worked together on the classic sci-fi film of Robocop (a scathing indictment of unfettered capitalism during Reagan’s nineteen-eighties), directed and wrote the 1997 film adaptation. The film has the main character Johnny Rico’s backstory (Juan “Johnny” Rico in the book) being based in …. Buenos Aires, Argentina. The film version expands upon the rights of Citizens such as the ability to go to college (at least for free), have children (possibly beyond a dictated limit), etc. Verhoven et al, cast good looking American 1990s TV drama actors of the Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place, MTV era. These fitness-like models were cast as a means of Verhoven paying nods (satirically) to the 1935 Nazi propaganda piece Triumph of the Will by Leni Riefenstahl. My opinion of 1997 film by Verhoven, for which I have been a fan of since I was a child in the fifth grade, is that Verhoven chose these very “whitewashed’ characters as a satire on the spreading of American capitalism, beauty standards, etc., i.e., a nod the colonizing and homogenizing effects of corporate culture, etc. It seems to be the case that the former United States had the most power within the Terran Federation’s establishment, so it’s already strong real-world culture laid the basis of this fictional government. Hence, American Vernacular English, its pop culture, etc., as is the case in our real world would have colonized the rest of the world.

Argentina is also important because it represents an extension of “whiteness” with the context of New World, post-colonial intersectionality. In our real world, the United States for example has a large swatch of the political base driven by fear of “white replacement” by way of immigration, challenges to traditional white male power, etc. This can be heard on cable news by figures such as Tucker Carlson, who dog-whistle to news watchers to inspire a sense of white fear, grievances, etc. Since globalism and cosmopolitanism are a part of our world and not going away, the definition of whiteness is moving the goalpost of what actually is white as a means of retaining statistical and numerical majorities. Hence, the United States as it undergoes the process of “Hispanicization” is shifting the definition of whiteness from the traditional definition of European, notably Northern and Central European (e.g., Anglo-Saxon stock), to include white Hispanics, where Latin America has its own complicated history with racial categorization (where one could say it is more fluid, yet also ironically rigid in certain ways since there is an aggrandizement of Eurocentric values as opposed to Indigenous, Afrocentric, multi-racial sentiments, etc.).

Yet, the film doesn’t address race and racism is not a part of the utopian world of Starship Troopers, nor is gender inequality. The world is a pure meritocracy.

But to expand on the Nazi influences that drove Verhoven’s satirical work, Argentina plays an important role because historically, Argentina as well as other South American nations harbored Nazi War criminals who were able to blend into the existing German and Italian immigrant populations. These Nazis used “rat lines” to enter Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Bolivia, etc., sometimes with the help of sympathetic Catholic priests assisting. For example, Klaus Barbie was active in Bolivia providing military training assistance to dictators involved in the early cocaine trade, which later assisted the powerful Medellin Cartel of Pablo Escobar via Roberto Suárez Gómez. Barbie was so emboldened that he had his own terror death squad in the country called the Fiances of Death and assisted in coup called the Cocaine Coup in Bolivia. Josef Mengle, the Angel of Death, was in South America. Otto Skorzeny (who later did assassinations for Israel’s Mossad as a means of not being hunted down and killed by them) even provided security detail to Argentina’s Juan Peron, husband of the famous Evita Peron. The infamous cult, Colonia Dignidad, created by Nazi and pedophile Paul Schäfer, was in Chile, and it is important to insert that Chile did have a pro-Nazi element with figures such as Esoteric Hitlerist Miguel Serrano. This cult has ties to the Pinochet Regime, which was a regime supported by the United States, corporations (such as the ITT Corporation, founded by Sosthenes Behn, which was later bombed by the radical Leftist Group, the Weather Underground for their participation in the overthrow of Salvador Allende), Richard Nixon all the way to Ronald Reagan, Henry Kissinger, Margaret Thatcher, and the CIA, as a means of hindering Left Wing movements on the continent during the Cold War.

Do Democrats want to lose because they and Republicans both represent liberalism, capitalism, etc.? Trump may win by MRG Staff

Prepare for Trump 2024….

It’s unfortunate but I think Donald Trump is going to win and the inner elite of Democrats may want this. The rich, Zionists, cops, most churches, crypto bros, the gun lobby, Russians, Saudis, corporations, Elon Musk-rats (fan boys), many old Boomers, Neo Nazis, the men of all colors who revolted against feminism, Hoteps, angry bosses who hate telework, right wing conspiracy theorists, anti LGBTQ demographic (TERFs included), and even conservative first generation immigrants, etc., all want him to win.

I suppose he’ll pardon himself and all his buddies. He’ll load the courts with more conservative cleric judges. He’ll ease up on Russia but then increase tension with China, despite Russia and China being allies, so easing up on one just helps the other elsewhere attempt to expand their hegemony.

But…

Perception is everything, but unfortunately not only are Democrats losing the perception battle, they are losing the reality battle as well. The only thing the Democrats have is saving us from Trump, and the unhinged stable of salivating conservatives he will give power from Marjorie Taylor Greene, JD Vance, Jerome Corsi, etc.

Despite, offering amnesty to undocumented peoples or asylum seekers or promising to cancel federal student debt, the Biden Administration despite wanting bipartisanship, are looking like a party that is compounding social issues for the worst ranging from crime, drug use, homelessness, inflation, etc. Further, even to their own party, the Biden Administration seems as if they are placating conservatives. Sure, these aren’t all the faults of Democrats. These are often global issues that have spanned decades, yet, perception is important. Trump for example can’t fix the root causes of immigration.

Democrats are in a rock and a hard place, because they actually try to juggle positions (Israel and Palestine, BIPOC community needs to that of the white working blue collar class, female liberation/empowerment, but notably…capitalism versus progress).

For example, the murders of women by illegal immigrant, aliens, what have you, does sting the public, as it should. Rachel Morin, Kayla Hamilton, Laken Riley, Mollie Tibbetts, Ruby Garcia, etc., were killed by undocumented immigrants.

Do Democrats want to lose? Or, are they more strongly positioned than given credit for?

If they lose, by doing so, corporate democrats will be OK, the Zionist lobby can continue its razing of Gaza and push forward in the establishment of its ethno-state (to the glee of Evangelicals on the Right Wing side of the aisle who want a Tim LeHayLeft Behind (book series)” Doomsday End Times scenario), and then Republicans can storm in and accelerate corporate domination/destroy central government, plus they can blame the Progressive wing of the Democratic party as being the reasons they lost (with people such as Bill Maher on the bullhorn for centrists blaming progressives).

The Democrats losing sets the stage for Democrats to seem disappointed and ready to “put up a fight” (get donations) and continues the Jacobean revenge narrative that is parroted in the mainstream news, i.e., a sort of manufactured beef between both parties though both parties vote with each other on bills that benefits their mutual benefactors.

But, it is wild that Trump can even still run for President.

I like Biden but he is very old, and yes, I know that Biden has a marked past. Yet, I will likely vote for him because, I can’t vote for Trump, because of him just being him, even though I admit that I’m fairly conservative on borders and immigration. Voting third party or not at all is a waste. We are in the “lesser of two evil” options, and voting for him is the best thing most likely.

On Trump, way back before he dropped the Latinos are rapists comments in 2016, I didn’t see much difference between him and Bernie as far as populist candidates – i.e., I admit I thought there was some hope in him, but after that comment it started downhill for me. It’s his ability to be so unfiltered that he ends up proping up opposition.

Trump kept further doubling down on his snarky quest of simply trying to prove his critics wrong, even if it meant endorsing divisive and controversial subjects.

Also, Trump will flood his administration with extremists spanning right wing libertarians, the Christian Right, anti-environmentalists and Climate Change deniers, prayer in school advocates, tax payer support for religious education advocates , Project 2025 advocates funded by the Heritage Foundation, Federalist Society endorsed circuit court judges with life appointments, Zionists, etc.

Further I am not voting for him because of the fact I think he did conspire with Russia (which is different than believing in Russia-gate which was more a DC beltway initiative against Trump that likely mixed fact with fiction) and most certainly conspired with Israel in some capacity (Netanyahu, Jared Kushner, Chabad Lubavitch, Republican Jewish Coalition with Eliot Brody, Joel Zamel of Psy Group in Israel, etc.) in some capacity to assist him with the 2016 election.

Note: I think Russia-gate was largely a distraction because if the Feds knew of Russia involvement beforehand, they shouldn’t have said something before Trump won. Yet, I can only speculate that this was the case as a means of springing a trap against Trump which was a way of indicating to foreign intelligence such as the Mossad and Russians, that the American intel community will orchestrate a take down of its own President if it means preserving the USA. However, we can’t ignore the fact that Russians infiltrated the Republican Party such as 1) their strange arrival at the National Prayer Breakfast, 2) Marina Butina’s infiltration of the NRA, 3) the fact that white supremacists during the Unite the Right rally, chanted the song “Russia in our friend”, 4) dozens of Russian spies caught in the USA, 5) Capitol Rioter and Neo Nazi, Riley June Williams attempting to steal Nancy Pelosi’s laptop and send it to Russia, 6) Alex Jones being broadcast on Russia State TV, 7) the writing of Aleksandr Dugin having inspired the Alt-Right such as Lauren Southern going to Russia to interview him, Jay Dyer, etc. The truth too is that hate group, The Base, is located in Russia and was founded by an American defector, and David Duke even had an apartment in Moscow. There seems to have been a concerted effort by Russia post the Fall of the Berlin Wall to shift from trying to infiltrate Left Wing groups and instead infiltrate Right Wing politics, largely by appealing to a sense of connected whiteness, Christianity, etc. Yet, Putin looking out only for Russia, is likely using this strategy as a means of furthering division in the United States (such as promoting racial divisions with bot farms, etc.) in order to help expand Russian power back in Europe (destabilizing NATO, the EU, and conquering buffering states). For example, according to DW (a German news outlet), Putin confidant Viktor Medvedchuk has helped facilitate talks with Germany’s Far Right AfD (Alternative for Germany, i.e., Deutschland) Party.

Also, another reason I can’t handle Trump, is the general vileness of many of his pundits ranging from Charlie Kirk, Matt Walsh, Candance Owens, Steven Crowder, Nick Fuentes, Lilly Gaddis, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, etc. Oh, and how can we forget January 6th, the Fake Elector Plot, and him now being a convicted felon….

Trump has been found guilty and is a convicted felon regarding his misuse of campaign funds to pay adult actress and director, Stormy Daniels.

Alex Jones is going bankrupt for his involvement in terrorizing the lives of those who lost loved ones during the Sandy Hook Shootings and may lose is InfoWars empire.

Steven Bannon, a general chaos agent with deep international links spanning Hong Kong to England’s Cambridge Analytica and European Far Right Parties, as being the brainchild behind Trump’s 2016 election and likely a planner of the fake-elector plot during the 2020 election, has been ordered to jail.

Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager with shadowy ties to offshore banks in Cyprus was indicted for financial crimes and failing to disclose foreign lobbying efforts in 2018. With the assistance of Microsoft Copilot, another campaign manager, Brad Parscale, President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, was hospitalized on an involuntary hold after he threatened to harm himself while armed with a gun at his Florida home. The incident occurred on September 27, 2021, and police released a video of his arrest. Multiple January 6th insurrectionists have been arrested and jailed. With more help from Microsoft Copilot, Riley June Williams, a far-right extremist who was “obsessed” with white nationalist Nick Fuentes, received a three-year prison sentence for her role in storming the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. And, we can’t forget the MAGA Shaman.

Despite, all of these convictions, conspiracies, etc., it seems….a good chunk of America doesn’t care. Why? Republicans strongly have encircled the aesthetics of Americana ranging from the Stars Spangled Banner, militarism, etc. Also, MAGA does have an appeal to nostalgia similarly to Reagan’s nostalgia of the 1950s during the 1980s, and many older people don’t see the world like younger generations where Millennials, Gen Z, etc., were raised with a critical lens and the ability to deconstruct, notably being critical to American exceptionalism, unfettered capitalism, etc. Yet, despite your average older voters who boil down politics to oversimplified matters of “government bad” “cheap food good” “foreigners scary” “taxes, no-no”, etc., there is a legitimate conscious racist wing of MAGA politics who want a fascist state and the overthrow of democratic institutions.

But, let’s be real…

It seems like Democrats want to lose because the truth is they are liberals and so are Republicans.

That’s what people seem to have a hard time understanding as political pundits play a linguistic shell game throwing around the work “liberal” to explicitly mean the Democratic Party.

Democrats and Republicans are both liberals in that they descend from the liberal enlightenment traditions which advocate for democracy, republicanism, individual rights, separation of church and state, and commerce. Republicans in a very oversimplified way could be considered “classical liberals” with a penchant for traditionalism – hence they have a conservative moral set – and less regulation on business class (where if we apply intersectionality, this naturally comes off as more white, male, etc., since that was the traditional core of economic and political power dating back to colonial times).

Democrats are “modernist liberals” with emphasis on pragmatism (which in part morphed in bureaucratic managerialism to deal with the residual effects of the Industrial Revolution such as child labor, unionism, etc.), cosmopolitanism (the emphasis on cities, immigrant communities, etc.), and negotiating between the business class and the worker class (juggling unionism, wage increases, etc.). Modern Democrats are descended from the goal of expanding the franchise dating all the way back from the Democrat-Republican split during the times of Andrew Jackson’s expansionism, where this era was later heavily influenced by the mid-to-post Civil War Era of Northern political machines who extended the expansion of the franchise to new immigrant groups, e.g., the Irish and Italians in the late 19th and early 20th century, and later African Americans in the mid 20th century. Democrats were also influenced by Progressive Era philosophies of John Dewey and the living document doctrine of Oliver Wendell Holmes on the Supreme Court.

Yet, since Democrats are still a pro-business and a capitalist party like Republicans (despite Republican linguistic shell-games using terms such as “the far left” to define Democrats), they, i.e., Democrats would rather side with Republicans, even if it means they lose.

This is because Democrats and Republicans both have the same business and corporate donors. In other words, win or lose, the party’s head honchos still win and same goes for Republicans in reverse. By losing, Democrats still get paid by the big corporations to help pass legislation that increases their power over the population, yet they can obfuscate and blame Republicans which is vital in continuing campaign contributions for our American election cycle, helping the news cycle between CNN/MSNBC vs Fox News, etc.

What I am getting at is, that in the upcoming 2024 it seems that either Democrats feel entitled with a sense of Hillary Clinton-esque arrogance into thinking people will simply vote for them because of the “Trump, bad” angle, or Democrats want to lose because they are being paid to lose, and by being paid, I mean exactly that. However, I am not discounting people that are true believes in Biden as being a saving grace against Trump. So, there are really three angles to see.

But paid by whom? Corporations from across the board (notably big Pharma, defense, agriculture, etc.) but also the Zionist lobby considering the Zionist camp likely thinks Trump can push them over the line in their conquest of Gaza, despite Joe Biden doing a decent job of hopscotch P.R., for them as he battles their needs versus the anti-war and humanitarian groups. Democrats as a “big tent” party that incorporates a lot of different visible groups have had to play the hard card of juggling corporate donor expectations with the needs of people, yet Republicans who are anti-welfare, wage increases, etc., don’t have to negotiate with Big Business because they are the party of big business. Republican tenants such as small government, less regulation, and lower taxes may sound good to the individual who has been convince their unique individuality matters, but the truth is that these tenants disproportionately benefits corporations which are legal people with rights such as Citizens United and even being allowed to vote in municipal elections in states such as Delaware.

Democrats have a generally harder job than Republicans. They take the blame a lot more because they have more to balance and juggle.

Democrats if they lose will be able cry about how they lost, but also use liberal grumps such as Bill Maher (an Eastern seaboard elitist with faux nods to the working class, despite still standing up to conservativism) will gaslight the true Left. The true Left are different than liberals (Democrats, Republicans, etc.), because they are critical if not outright opposed to capitalism, i.e., this is when we start drifting towards socialist territory (where communism is a type of socialism, but not the only type of socialism, i.e., democratic socialism or reformist socialism is different than Marx’s theories of Communist socialism).

There’s something sinister relating to Trump’s possible return. Christian nationalism trying to implement Project 2025 by the Heritage Foundation, MAGA’s links to Neo Nazi groups such as Nick Fuentes Groypers of the America First Movement (which branched off from Charlie Kirk’s mainstream Turning Point USA) and residuals of the Unite The Right rally, Israeli Zionism (note: I support the state of Israel, though there’s a sinister direction that Netanyahu has taken his country on), a world slipping back into right wing authoritarianism, attacks on women’s rights, attacks on LGBTQ understanding, etc.

I’m not sure where our beloved nation is headed

The more fascist it becomes, just means the more insignificant it is. And, a lot of us don’t get this point.

Do, I totally understand climate change, feminism, LGBTQ? No. But I understand hate. And I can see it ooze from Trump’s being.

Escaping the Dialectic. Transcending everything. Understanding the Construction of Blackness in Simple Terms by Quinton Mitchell

Before I start this, I don’t like “Dr.” Umar Johnson, I don’t like the Nation of Islam cult, or generally most black nationalist movements. However, I want the best for black people.

Blackness in the context of Western Civilization was intended to be the “antithesis” to the “thesis” of white supremacy, colonialism, exceptionalism, deification, etc. Better put, blackness is the “yang” to the “ying” of whiteness. Though this is a manufactured dialectic, an engineered binary, etc., which was intended to create a caste system for the benefit of generating wealth for a top-down hierarchy between the ruling class and the peasantry – where race was used as a layer of division to disunite the common human proletariat – the truth is that the dialectic has sunken deep into the ontology, consciousness, what have you, of Western civilization. Even if the dialectic isn’t purely from a wealth accumulation standpoint, the truth is we are all human laboring under the illusion of self, etc.

As a result, blackness as personified by African bodies that were forcibly absorbed into Western civilization during the Trans-Atlantic Slavery and Colonial periods, notably of the Americas and continental Africa itself, is…black. By black, I mean nihilistic.

Blackness is the personification of Western nihilism that was constructed to give purpose and meaning to “solution” of “whiteness”. Black bodies are seen as “challenges” to be triumphed against, trained for, brutalized, humbled, etc. Black culture is seen a reminder of the civilizing tendencies of “white culture”. Black de-valuation is seen as an easy means of boosting “white valuation”, for example, impoverished whites seeing themselves as more in alignment with the white upper class rather than black lower class, i.e., whites at the bottom can appropriate upwards, whereas black people who succeed are continuously dragged down by the “black bottom”, etc. Yet, the irony is that black culture is all of these things, i.e., black people also choose to live in the binary of being polar opposites just for the sake of it, and as a result, the system gets what it wants…an easily agitated and divided public.

The further construction of blackness is the tendency towards self-annihilation, and by that I don’t mean breeding or baby making, but rather the cannibalistic and infectious nature of toxic masculinity (street law, street justice, etc.). To me a black man for example means to push out emotion, care, sympathy, honor, etc. Black men brutalize each other each day as black men jockey over petty squabbles of maintaining societal notions of masculinity, but not just any notion, but this purposely crafted dialectical notion explicitly intended for black people.

Does YouTube have a Nazi Pop problem? How the algorithm promotes the glamorization of Nazism by MRG Staff

Hitler, the Nazis, the Holocaust, have become, sadly, and oddly, a form of pop culture, and not just any pop culture, but a hyper-real form of culture perpetuated by the omnipotent and fate-sealing power of the “algorithm”. Quinton Mitchell

I call it Nazi Pop.

I understand that history should be taught and preserved. I also understand that having different content creators helps analyze topics form different perspectives. However, I think there should at least be more disclaimers relating to Nazi content or at least some sort more intensive vetting process including but not limited to peer-review for YouTube videos on the subject. Also, creators of such content should have to disclose their public identity rather than hide behind avatars.

A large chuck of the profit percentage should go to charities such as those dedicated to Holocaust education or hate-group watchdog groups.

It seems many content creators have learned that making videos about Nazis is an easy way to get paid, yet many people don’t care about the money but rather they are potential Nazi sympathizers who have adapted to not seeming radical but instead brand themselves as “amateur historians”. For example, the YouTube pages such as the Zoomer Historian and History-at-War.

Sure, not everyone talking about Nazis are bad and the intent is often educational. Yet, even with these good faith actors the need to make money off Nazi content still stands. For example, let us look at lovable and iconic YouTube creator, Simon Whistler.

Simon Whistler is known for having many and I mean many YouTube channels (see article, titled: The Many Channels of YouTuber Simon Whistler by Shelly Lawless from CultureSlate. Link: https://www.cultureslate.com/lists/the-many-channels-of-youtuber-simon-whistler).

When I type in Simon Whistler Nazi on YouTube I see the following videos. Why Did So Many Nazis Choose Argentina to Flee to After WWII? (on Today I Found Out); Why Did So Many Nazis Choose Argentina to Flee to After WWII? (on Into The Shadows); Adolf Hitler – The Rise of a Fanatical Fuhrer (on Biographics); The “Nice” Nazis (on Sideprojects); War and Drugs – WWII Soldiers Go Mad on Meth (on Brain Blaze); Inside the Meeting that Engineered the Holocaust (on Into the Shadows); The Rise and Fall of the Nazi War Machine (on Warographics); The 1936 Olympic Games: Nazi Germany’s Gambit (on Into the Shadows); The “XX System”: How MI5 Made Fools of the Nazis (on Into the Shadows)…and honestly, there is at least 20 plus more.

I must stress that I think Simon Whistler is a legitimate content creator interested in sharing snippets of lost history.

Him aside, we have to be real there are likely Attomwaffen SS sympathizers etc. secretly making ambiguous pro-Nazi videos.

This is what I am saying. Is it education or entertainment? Sure, I have hope that humanity has learned its lessons but…we do live in a world that does seem to be dangerously flirting with a nostalgia for strong-men fascism, largely as a means of curbing the externalities of global capitalism (mass migration, free trade, etc.), which ironically is controlled by those who often fund…fascism.

In other words, the elite capital class are responsible for most of the world’s social ills but while they make profit, they also fund isolationist, nationalist, and often racist regimes because these fascist regimes often side with capitalism, especially as a means of opposing egalitarian ideas such as communism.

Elon Musk is the avatar for everything negative I am stating or insinuating in this post. An alleged “autistic savant”, Sorrow of Young Werner, edge lord, “Sit on my face” (Grandma’s Boy film reference), billionaire capitalist who panders to right wing grifters because they are more so aligned with the economic ideology that enables him to exploit, loot, scam, borrow, fake it till he makes it, and profit, etc.

I call this tendency to make Nazi videos for money on YouTube as being Nazi Pop. Nazi Pop Culture.

There seems to be something going on. There are a lot of “historical analysis” videos dedicated to “studying” (cough – worshipping) the Nazis, especially with a target audience comprised of Millennials, Zoomers, and this odd new “Newsweek”-coined generation called “Generation Alpha”. It is as if there is a bot farm spewing out these Nazi historical analysis videos as a means of subconsciously brainwashing a new crop of unwitting racists, “race realists”, etc., notably in the wake of a world that is unfairly – in my opinion – rallying against “wokeness”, where said “wokeness” is often, but not always, code-word in conservative circles for anything that is not white, straight, male, capitalist, selfish and likely Christian.

“Whiteness” has cleverly positioned itself as an “oppressed” status group, however, the political left often can’t help but to not use “whiteness” as the target to most of its own philosophical juxtapositions.  Adding to this, because of the burdens of globalism, climate change, poverty, and wars, many refugees have fled into the Global North, thus causing race realist nationalism to rise.

The political left – though not wrong in its political and economic analysis of contemporary issues, at least from a pure analysis standpoint, as opposed to real life political experiments – often uses whiteness as the focal and starting point for many of its analytical arguments, and this, therefore, helps create a situation that actual white supremacist can exploit by providing a “safe space” for the often lost, frustrated, guilty, etc. White people who are tasked with analyzing their privilege but then rejecting the guilt associated with it when they feel they are being unfairly singled out, and at worst, disarmed from self-defense from the basic truths of human nature beyond race or color.

In other words, many white people feel they can’t defend themselves while also being blamed for the ills of society, and many people reject these feelings and are often recruited by bad faith actors who want to inculcate them into race realism, racism, Nazism, etc. Yet, the left or liberals can often be dismissive of this sentiment, but being dismissive doesn’t mean it goes away. However, this does not mean we need to coddle or excuse the truths of toxic masculinity, entitlement, the hypocrisies of patriarchy and the male gaze onto the female form, racism, etc.

I am not saying that whiteness, colonialism, capitalism, patriarchy, etc., as is, as they are linked in our contemporary society, are not topics worth studying, however, the folly of let’s say…Marxists analysis…is that it reduces everything to base “non metaphysical” material that is in need of study, analysis, etc. Yet, my argument is that human nature is sure able to be understood, yet most humans are not thinking too deep about social issues besides simply trying to survive in peace. Also, my rebuttal to a full acceptance of applying Marxist analysis is that life is inherently…nonsensical and absurd. The Marxist tries to reduce everything to realist, evolutionary struggle in a sort of godless universe where no objective truths actually exist besides the truths we can analyze based on our evolution as a species, here and only here on Earth, based on understanding the crux of class throughout space and time. Sounds somewhat reasonable.

But why do we make art? Why do we do anything? What’s the point? The point is there is no point but there is a point. Life has purpose and in theory doesn’t. Life is a walking contradiction but because it is, we naturally apply some level of metaphysical justification to our actions. Sure, we can debate about the scope and scale about how we apply metaphysical explanation or justification to sustain our existences, yet, still humans often operate indifferent to being “analytical nerds” where everything is seen as a mindless construction of petty human efforts.

The tin-foil hat in me thinks that our current racial situation is in part manufactured. A sort of dialectical warfare situation where those at the top, typically the capital owners, use race as a means of disguising the institutional power that ironically helps maintain the one percent. The left thinks it is immune to this, but I suspect this is not the case because those at the top, are smarter than given credit for, considering that the left spends so much time in analyzing them. The one percent needs a racially divided proletariat in order to maintain the systems that maintains their power, yet, oddly, when someone says that “things are rigged” notably in matters of race, I notice the political-left itself is often dismissive of this allegation (which I can understand because such as allegation can be used lazily as a means of not deeply analyzing systemic power, however, it is naïve for the left to not admit that pitting the races against each other has always been a key strategy in debasing proletarian and labor-centric power). However, those on the Left don’t want to be dismissive of marginalized groups voices by prioritizing class consciousness over intersectionality, so if anything, it’s on said marginalized groups to accept that such divisive strategies are possible, but it may ironically not be good strategy for historically oppressed groups to acknowledge this considering the status quo can use this as a means of furthering silencing specific causes. Just one of the many seemingly, damned if you, demand if you don’t Catch 22’s we live under.

With the toxic revolt and reaction against diversity and inclusion, I, as black man who grew up largely in predominately white environments (which, I admit were often positive experiences, but yes I have experienced blatant racism), I notice on YouTube that many “content creators” are uploading videos dedicated to studying Nazism.

And, sure, there’s a lot of unpackage there, but I often suspect more sinister intentions. The phenomena are similar to the notion or trop of the “edge lord”.  Instead of seeing what the Nazis did as bad, rather the Nazis are “pornified”. From their Hugo Boss uniforms, their innovations (rockets, synthetic oils, jet engines, the interstate systems, intercontinental ballistic missiles, propaganda, etc.), their national unity, etc., there is something that many people seem to deeply want to emulate. That is the sad thing about these YouTube videos for example. Many but not all seem to be about nostalgia rather than analysis of evil.

We must remember than since 2012 for example, which was the era that kicked off the police brutality riots – often against black people – than many college age people were children. Many have adopted the tenants of social justice to varying degrees, but others see social justice as establishment. This therefore opens the opportunity for actual Neo Nazis, who have innovated into doing video essays online, owning video game Reddit communities, etc., the ability to recruit a new crop of followers or apologists.

At first, the book White Noise by Don DeLillo creeps up in my mind. In that book, the main character, Jack Gladney, is the professor of Nazi Studies at some Midwest college, yet the character of Gladney was used by DeLillo as a means of detailing how even a monster such as Adolph Hitler became a sort of pop culture commodity in a postmodern and post-capitalist world. Even Family Guy by Seth MacFarlane pointed fun at this with his Hitler talk-show in his cartoon.

Even atrocities of wars gone by and the lessons thereof which should humble us as a species, instead become commodities or a means of gaining an income.

DeLillo’s prophetic words in his 1985 National Book Award winning novel (which were not done with justice in the 2023 movie adaptation in my opinion) sort of became reality. Hitler, the Nazis, the Holocaust, have become, sadly, and oddly, a form of pop culture, and not just any pop culture, but a hyper-real form of culture perpetuated by the omnipotent and fate-sealing power of the “algorithm”.

Contradictions in American Conservative Logic from Conspiracy Theory, Guns, COVID, Foreign Aid etc by Quinton Mitchell

(1) Many Christian conservatives often fall into conspiracy theories, yet, isn’t obsessing over conspiracy theories a sign of not having faith? If their faith is so strong and God is in control, then it seems that Christians don’t really believe God…is…in…control. Once could go further and say that Christians who engage in conspiracy theory are actually engaging in blasphemy because people are still trying to control things rather than having faith in God making things right.

(2) It’s funny how people say the Second Amendment is about protecting us against a tyrannical government, yet, if that’s the case then why did so many white people not pick up arms to liberate black people from Jim Crow? Or, at a minimum be supportive of black people taking up arms to liberating themselves? Maybe it’s because what is “tyrannical” is subjective, i.e., just because you don’t like something you call it tyrannical, but what’s tyrannical to one is not to another. A lot of people seems Ok when a segment of the population was being oppressed.

(3) It’s interesting how conservatives said that COVID was a hoax, yet, the only way how Trump kept out migrants and refugees was through acknowledging that COVID existed with his use of Title 42 laws (the ability to keep people out of the USA because of public health concerns). So either COVID is real and was a real threat, or the Trump Administration used a hoax per conservative logic to keep out migrants, and in theory, per the law, violate the ability for people to seek asylum.

(4) Republicans say they want to bring money home, such as when talking about the Ukraine Russian War, etc., yet, this is the same party…. that wants to cut public education, raise social security (thus, increasing the chance of not getting it since you’re closer to dying, etc.).

(5) Conservatives are trying to argue that religion should not be separate from state, yet this just leads to xenophobia because society therefore becomes a battle of which religion has more power over the other because people don’t want to be rulee by a religion they don’t align with. Christian Nationalist also wanting secular power also negates their faith because in theory God is control and has a plan, yet it seems Christian Nationalist want to control the plan because deeply they don’t have faith and/or their faith is “bad faith”, i.e., for selfish, racist, sexist, etc., reasons. Which church would even rule? There are thousands of Protestant churches. Will we be…Church of God, Southern Baptist, Missionary Baptists, Anglican, Episcopalian, Methodist, African Methodist Episcopalian, Seventh Day Adventist, Unitarian, Roman Catholic, Coptic Christian, Orthodox, Quaker, Mennonite, Amish, etc.?

(6) Conservatives say they dislike government, despite hailing police agencies which are government institutions. Not saying that is good or bad, but just admit that conservatives do like elements of government.

(7) Conservatives want to ban adult content yet state they value free speech between consenting adults, where adults are legally allowed to enter into contracts, including contracts that includes the use of their bodies. By banning legal pornography all you do is create the market for illegal pornography which empowers criminals and ironically may help increase human trafficking. It’s also insane how Conservatives try to merge legal desire between adults with crime as a low IQ and strawman strategy to guilt people away from not being sexually empowered, educated, fulfilled, etc.

(8) Conservatives were saying All Lives Matters or say “I don’t see Color” but then freak out when a person of color is cast in movie in a role that was traditionally played by a white person.

(9) JD Vance, Trump’s Vice President, made fun of modern, independent-minded women by calling them “childless cat ladies”, yet, his benefactor, Peter Thiel is a gay man (not a crime) who can’t have children. Vance claims that people without children don’t care about the country, yet Peter Thiel is his benefactor and mentor

(10) It’s interesting how much the Blue Lives Matter crowd is silent when it comes to supporting Kamala Harris who was a prosecutor helping cops get convictions

(11) Conservatives are saying now that the Democrats are warmongers, yet, Republicans have made it very clear they are willing to go to war with Iran, and some even with China. They also pretended to care when Biden left Afghanistan. So… they wanted us to stay in the war in Afghanistan, yet are saying the want to end wars?

(12) Many American Christians are capitalist, but you can’t bring your money into the afterlife, and what is the point of making a lot of money if you want End Time to happen?

Umar Johnson’s Afro-Fascism and his advice to suppress black votes. His many inconsistencies and a rare example of the Horseshoe Theory by Quinton Mitchell

#fascism #umarjohnson #blackstudies #politics #voting

Other Related Posts (read after the main context of this post)

First off, black people can be racist despite this insane notion these days that black people cannot since black people “lack power”. But to believe this actually defeats Black Nationalist claims of supremacy and fosters a victim mentality, yet being ambiguous between victim and bigot is a form of power but being deceptive about it. Believing black people can’t be racist ironically is dehumanizing which defeats the claim of being empowered. Black people can be racist yet the scope of that racism is lesser if talking in terms of systems. So it’s not that black people objectively can’t be racist if we’re to entrain this often leftist notion, but rather their racism has little impact on larger systems; however, within smaller or interpersonal dymanics, of course black people can be racist within the context of tjem being minorities. Not holding us to the same standards is proof that certain forces want to instigate and perpetuate the racial divide. Everyone can punch but some punches have more weight behind them.

Regardless, I don’t want to hate Umar Johnson. I feel his intentions to want to help are correct but his prescription to solve the problems facing black people are unnecessary. He is playing the racial dialectic game without realizing that in many ways that is…the point of America, i.e., to keep the black-white binary (or, black-white and white adjacent binary – which includes white Hispanic, Arab, Asian, etc.) in perpetual struggle as a means of dividing the public, where such division notably amongst the traditional white poor (and, more recently the social climbing first to second generation Latino still figuring out where they stand in the racial hierarchy scheme) serves to protect the capitalist ruling class of predominantly white or white adjacent men.

Instead of a true class struggle beyond identity politics, figures like Umar Johnson exploit the more-so Left Wing (anti-colonial and self-deterministic) sentiment which calls for the need for certain communities to have their own “incubation period to resolve the issues of colonialism”, etc.

Umar usurps this calling for what I call the “incubation/healing phase” for oppressed groups and instead hijacks it to create a version of black supremacy and what I would argue is black fascism.

Hence, why I say Umar Johnson is the perfect example of the Horseshoe Theory, i.e., in the case of Left-Wing politics, if you go too far Left (for example through “woke territory”) you end up at the opposite end of the spectrum and wind up in Right Wing territory. Same can be said if you go too Right Wing, i.e., what we see to be white racial collectivism abandoning notions of individualism as seen in the liberal tradition in exchange for dictatorial leaders who oversee an expansive police-government state, i.e., a sort of Communist totalitarian state.

In theory, Umar is an unwitting agent to give the system what it wants (a continuation of the colorist and racial caste system needed for divide-and-conquer purposes over the proletariat) because it wants segregation and will use anything, including the political left or wokeness on top of the traditional right-wing methods to achieve that.

I do not think that black people attempting to incubate our own wealth and prosperity is bad thing at all considering the truth of our history, yet, you can do this without being a racialist, colorist, patriarch, etc.

One simple flaw that black people or activist seem to make without realizing it is that they don’t have to call every initiative that attempts to help black people as being “black”, because we already know who the initiatives are for, and often “the system” uses such “exclusive-seeming marketing” as a means of encouraging the further solidification of white supremacy. For example, White Power actually was a reaction to Black Power in the 1960s through white supremacist figures such as William Luther Pierce (author or The Hunter and The Turner Diaries), and sure, of course, we know that Black Power and White Power are two different things – at least in their origins and original intent – but still, black people need realize strategically speaking that marketing every helpful black movement as explicitly black, ironically and systemically is used to continue the oppression black people.

Yet, many black activists would reject my analysis on this because to them they are wanting to make a firm statement and they see anything that doesn’t go “hard enough”, i.e., seen as being un-apologetically black, as not being authentic.

However, my rebuttal to such an accusation would simply be…don’t broadcast all your moves, i.e., don’t put a target on your back just to make a moral or figurative statement. In other words, do not make this about prideful proclamations when you can achieve more without people noticing you often.

For example, “white companies” which are the majority don’t market themselves as “white owned” even though it is understood that most of the profits are going into white hands. Yet, black people wanting to make a powerful statement, flaunt, flex, etc., to prove “we can” always want to slap the “black” this or that label on everything, which ironically limits one’s market-size and potential for market capitalization because…most people will think it’s “only for them”. This is ironic because white or Asian business firms will take money from everywhere rather than just their own respective race or ethnic group, and thus have more capital to assert their dominance over institutions. For example, if we are to accept that hierarchies form naturally in society, then self-segregation limits the scale thus power of your “pyramid”.

And that last paragraph brings me back to the adage of “By Any Means Necessary.” By Any Means Necessary does not necessarily mean “by our own means only”.  

Regardless, back to Umar, he cherry picks from the Marxist or Communist/Socialist or Critical Theory analysis of intersectionality and class struggle (spanning black leftist figures from Cornell West, Angela Davis, Huey Newton, Omali Yeshitela, Bell Hooks, etc.), yet, inserts his deep-rooted desires to have a conservative, Right Wing, “blood and soil”, male-driving nationalist community.

The mixing of Left-Wing analytical methods with that of Right-Wing concepts such hierarchies, firm binaries, hyper masculinity, etc., is textbook…fascism. We cannot forget that Mussolini started as a Communist before becoming a fascist. We cannot forget that even though Nazis were not “true Socialist” according to many socialist, notably the Communists because the Nazis hated Communism, we still must realize that early Nazi ideology was influenced in part by post-WWIs strong socialist sentiments. Hitler just so happened to reject the Marxist interpretation of history and co-opted socialism by infusing it with a Right-Wing traditionalism, which interestingly became advantageous to the pre-existing capitalist and industrialist class (i.e., Nazi economics was essentially corporatism ruled by a dictatorship of profit seeking industrialists operating in state-sponsored cartels who owed allegiance first and foremost to the German people and state, i.e., state capitalism nuanced by a cultural or racial supremacy).

Many fascists though they agree with concepts of collectives particularly on a racial-cultural sense, often reject the erosion of hierarchies. Fascist economics could be seen as a “Third Way” or “Third Position” framework where they combine some elements of socialist or egalitarian thought but often reject the Marxist view of history (class struggle), yet, through a type of Will to Power (coopted from Friedrich Nietzsche) via an unconscious “spiritualism” (e.g., Carl Jung’s emphasis on subconsciousness and archetypes) in the “zeitgeist” (i.e., collective spirit as in the writings of Hegel) apply a Right-Wing political framework that justifies the needs for rigid hierarchies, notably in a world of cyclical disorder (e.g., the Kali Yuga in Hinduism which inspired the Occultism elements of European fascism) and where people-groups are engaged in perpetual battle (for example through Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection).

This is why fascist countries, though seeming to emulate elements of socialism are effectively “modern feudalist states” shrouded with cultural imagery, religious devotion, etc. Yet, feudalism evolved into capitalism and capitalism into corporatism, thus current definitions of fascist countries could be defined as “hierarchical corporatist states”.

This is what Umar really wants. A black fascist state, but he could only achieve such goals by band-wagoning or “Trojan Horse-ing” off of current black Left-Wing movements such as Black Lives Matter or even the capitalist inclusion of black empowerment as a marketable product with Disney-Marvel production such as the Black Panther franchise. For example, we live in the era of hashtags such as #staywoke #BLM #wakanda or #wakandaforever. Yet, like most aspiring autocrats, they are often failures at something in their buried past they wish not to be discovered. They also lack the technical expertise to achieve their goals so instead they rely on fiery rhetoric to convince enough smart people to accomplish their goals for them.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/farrakhan-sees-a-new-opening-for-black-separatist-message.amp

In other words, Umar wouldn’t be the Umar we know without him using the current chaos of political discourse and Left Wing wokeness though he opposes the Left Wing and liberalism. Like fascism which has caused many debates about its actual definition, Umar represents a sort of logical ambiguity yet expresses emotionally his deep-rooted desires and dreams of grandeur. He splices ideology to achieve a fascist conclusion.

Scars, Traumas, Wokeness and Excuses

There are a lot of scars and traumas within the Black Community and in theory that is what wokeness attempts to heal.

Wokeness simply means aware, i.e., being aware of topics such as systemic racism, voter suppression, lack of access to capital markets, police brutality, gentrification, mass incarceration, the complex systems of industrial scale slavery, Jim Crow, Jim Crow’s effects on the modern prison industrial complex, unauthorized and/or inhuman experiments on people such as the Tuskegee Syphilis experiments or how economically weakened African nations are given foreign aid to fight diseases such as HIV/AIDs or malaria, etc., only on the condition they remain cheap resource depots for the “imperialist powers”, etc. We can go on and on. WTO, IMF, World Bank, etc.

I purposely rapped off all that because…that is what wokeness has become. Knowing so much but what does knowing do once it reaches a logical conclusion? It either A) creates a depressive state in a person once they realize how “smart they are” but how helpless they are, B) it creates anger and radicalism to resolve said problems of A, or (C) it creates a manic rollercoaster ride between A and B.

Wokeness is a mixture of factual analysis but also an emotional desire for self-empowerment in the face of a civilization that defined blackness to be the “antithesis” to the thesis of whiteness. Woke is also not inherently political but just so happens to lean to the Left. For example, figures such as Joe Rogan who often expresses Right Wing views could be considered “woke” himself because he too engages in the “factual rapping” of statistics or events to explain how our world works, why its oppressive, and why systems should be seen with suspicion.

So woke is not bad, however, the constant deconstruction, Critical Theory, qualitative studies, anthropology, intellectualism, and faux intellectualism, has not really achieved the goals of what communities such as the black community wants, because in many ways there is an underlying notion that someone owes us something or the reason why we can’t build ourselves up is because no one is providing us our “just dues”.

It’s a contradictory sentiment. We preach how strong we are to not need anyone but then often want someone to help us, and this contradiction can be heard in Umar Johnson’s rhetoric. Also, wokeness meaning aware does not actually mean intelligent, and if so, only means intelligent enough to sense things, but not necessarily to do anything about it.

What I mean by that is the black community needs science, technology, engineering, and math to navigate the complex challenges of the modern/post-modern world, yet, the resounding resolution within most woke circles is simply more…analysis, i.e., an emphasis on social sciences, political science, history, video essays, book publishing, etc.

Better put, wokeness has only solved a fraction of the problem, i.e., we know how to see the sickness within the body (problems within the community) but often don’t push for technical skills to do the surgery. Umar wants to get credit for organizing the surgery though he too is helpless hence he overcompensates with toxic rhetoric. In other words, he’s in his feelings.

For example, why would Umar Johnson start an all-boys residential school that will likely not going to achieve accreditation from any governmental body, when he could have had an online education model? Why invest in physical property with taxes, safety guidelines, health guidelines, FDA and Department of Agricultural school meal guidelines, etc., when he could have had a collective of certified educators via online subscription service? Yet, when Umar was talking on VLADTV, Umar made more excuses by saying that black people in charter schools can’t teach because they need professional certifications. But…wouldn’t you want educators to be certified? Also, there’s plenty of educators with certifications. The thing is, is that Umar wants a school with no accountability so he can craft it in his own image, but to do so he must simply blame the system for not giving him what he wants, though this is on the belief that the rules of the system aren’t there for good reason. For example, we don’t want an Aryan Nation Nazi Schools with no accreditation and un-certified educators teaching children about the superiority of the white race and teaching pseudo-science such as…white people are from Madame Blavatsky root races who once lived on Atlantis or some nonsense.

Umar Johnson at this point is just trying to stay relevant with his racist bombastic style.

I honestly think he is crazy, and I mean as far as mental health. I can’t prove it on the clinical front, but he seems to have some sort of narcissistic personality disorder (dreams of grandeur and with an emphasis on being chosen) and I suspect it may be childhood trauma induced (since he rarely speaks of his past, family, etc.). His professional work involves studying the effects of ADD/ADHD diagnosis on black male youths, which is a noble endeavor, but I’m suspecting that Umar (Jermaine) was one of these kids and held a grudge about his possible experiences. But, this is speculation. He’s set himself up like many online figures to not be criticized because he’s stitched himself to the movements he’s co-opted, so to many people criticizing Umar now somehow means…criticizing black empowerment, but this is the fault of certain segments of the black community for consistently searching for what I call…a “Fuhrer” or Chosen One.

As a side note, this emphasis on looking for a chosen one interestingly can be seen in hip hop with figures such as Tupac (who depicted himself on the Cross in Killuminati – The 7 Day Theory, i.e., Makaveli), the Biblical Ezekiel-like prophetic rage of DMX, and of course the current Charles Manson-like delusions of Kanye West (Ye) who associated with Nazi like figures such as Nick Fuentes.

Umar hiding his past to me is a sign of distancing one’s true identity, a possible sign of embarrassment, etc. This seems especially true since he specializes in family and childhood counseling. In other words, he is not providing any examples of his home life, experiences, traumas, over-comings, etc., to explain or relate to the advice he is giving. If anything, Umar (Jermaine) doesn’t practice what he preaches which will be discussed in this section of my post/paper.

I stumbled upon a video on Instagram by user ” Commonsenseeli” in which Umar is in a room filled with clutter with some odd speech patterns (repeating the same thing over) but he says he was moving to Wilmington, Delaware – where his school for black boys is at. I assume he was just practicing a speech or pitch.

As far as absurd rhetoric, recently he has told black people not to vote in the USA and South African 2024 elections, adding to the already cynical and paranoid public (post CV19 lockdowns, Donald Trump & January 6, the death of Jeffrey Epstein, the riots over George Floyd, etc.) as if not voting will somehow mean someone won’t win and won’t take power.

Even if black people do not vote, you are just increasing the odds of having a party that has openly said anti-black rhetoric or at least uses coded language to criminalize black people. In other words, he is suppressing the black vote or getting black people to suppress it themselves. But, Umar just like Elijah Farrakhan (who won’t die) want this because they are advocates for…Race War.

I personally think that how Marcus Garvey admired the KKK, Umar admires the modern Alt Right and GOP (defined by MAGA). He’s not a liberal. He admires power and a patriarchal form of it. Imagine Umar with unlimited power. It would not be a good thing. [See Article: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/garvey-must-go-campaign/%5D

It is as if the GOP and its wealthy donors realized the Candace Owens, Turning Point USA, etc., route can only work so much with black – especially “hood black” – audiences, so the GOP is getting “multi-racial and religious” in its caucus such as using patriarchal, anti LGBTQ rhetoric etc., within certain elements of black and/or Muslim political discourse.

For example, Patrick Bet David while hosting Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA advocates for including more Muslims into Republican politics despite a likely apprehensive Kirk realizing a big element of right-wing, predominantly white, and Western liberal (in the classical sense) politics has anti-Islam as a key cornerstone (e.g., the European Identitarian movement, the Deus Vult movement of Right Wing Catholicism — typically defined with an anti-Pope Francis undertone for his progressive and reconciliation views).

Culturally, the online space as of 2024 is a mix of “Capitalist grind culture” (which is nuanced by the concept of “manifesting”, i.e., the belief in using psychic power to create your dream reality — which thus links to Zodiac, astrology, and New Age beliefs), memes, A.I. videos pushing conservative tropes (e.g., Thomas Sowell, Pat Buchanan, Milton Friedman talking points, etc.), Jordan B. Peterson musings, the anti-feminist Manosphere/Men’s Rights movement, conspiracy theories with often pseudo-science and religious undertones, etc.


Many black people – some not doing too well economically – seem to be “chronically online” and find themselves absorbing information from the Black spaces of the Red Pill space.

Umar’s core demographic is “woke” people from low income urban areas, black women (despite his patriarchal overtones), and maybe many Africans or Caribbean peoples with online access to black American media. Yet, these African and Caribbean cultures often apply what we would consider in the West to be pseudo-science such as spiritual medicine, witch doctors, but also the residuals of Christian missionaries where many pastors in Africa and the Caribbean use faith-healing, etc. You can also add on indigenous “pagan” religions, Rastafarianism (which has nods to Zion, i.e . Blackness as ordained since Ethiopia for instance has a biblical link) etc.

What we are witnessing in “woke” black culture something similar to European white reactionary politics which also “rejects modernity” and strives for a “racially pure”, organic, etc mindset.

For example, the Fresh and Fit podcast despite being hosted by two black men where one is a Muslim, are linked to figures such as “Rollo Tomassi”, author of the Rational Male, who has ties to racist figures such as Stefan Molyneux, who therefore leads to figures such as Lauren Southern, which therefore links to figures such as Jay Dyer who has contributed to Alex Jones’ InfoWars. We know Alex Jones is the kink between the conspiracy Right Wing to the MAGA movement, with Alex Jones even being on-site with Kenneth Chesboro of the Trump fake-elector plot scandal.

Popular black YouTuber, DJ Akademics (of a conservative Jamaican heritage) is a vocal Trump supporter and he’s collaborated with Fresh and Fit thus by proxy Andrew Tate, Kevin Samuels, and Rollo Tomassi. All are Trump supporters. This thus creeps further and further down the Rabbit Hole leading to the Young Americans (whose clips have been used by Fresh and Fit), the Alt Right, and back to literal Nazis.

In other words, figures like Charleston White, Umar Johnson, Fresh and Fit, etc., represent the “Red Pill of Black Culture”, but the Red Pill community is adjacent to conspiracy culture across racial lines, since conspiracy theories often have the underlying agenda of preserving the status quo by vilifying progressive movements.

Who is Umar Johnson?

But, who is he? He was born Umar Rashad Ibn Abdullah Johnson (Jermaine Shoemake) on 21 August 1974 to a father named Jamal Abdullah Johnson. Doing a simple Google search of Jamal Abdullah Johnson, I see a Jamal A. Abdullah-Johnson, Appellant,v.William J. Henderson, Postmaster General, United States Postal Service (Allegheny/Mid-Atlantic), Agency.

Umar’s possible father filed a suit against the US Postal Services in 1998 alleging discrimination for his race, religion, and mental health issues. KryeirBut this Mr. Abdullah Johnson was denied. Could this possibly have influenced Umar? Umar in an interview admitted to having a disciplinarian father.

I also found online Jamal Abdullah Johnson who served in the US Marine Corps from 1975 – 1985. Possibly, if this is Umar’s dad, that means his dad enlisted just after he was born and possibly after 10 years, went to work for the Postal Service, likely working there for a long time before he had his lawsuit. So, possibly a Black Nationalist, intense Marine, postal service worker father but had a gripe with the “white man” and government. His marine only served 10 years and not the 20 years required a pension. Also, there’s a chance he also didn’t service his 20 years as a postal worker which would give him a pension.

Yet, Umar’s real name may be Jermaine Shoemake, according to a Facebook post I had found, his name was changed by his father per this post when he was in the 3rd grade while in North Carolina. The idea of changing your child’s name when he’s already at least seven years old insinuates his father was a true believer in the Pan Africanist cause.  

Philadelphia has always had issues with race like many Northern cities which emphasize racial/ethnic neighborhoods, yet poverty, crime, drugs, etc. are rampant. From New York, Boston, Philly, D.C., Baltimore, etc.

Philadelphia is where the 1985 Move Bombing happened in which the Philadelphia Police Department dropped C4 on the home on the MOVE organization. MOVE is an Afrocentric, anti-government, and naturalist movement founded in 1972 by US Army veteran Vincent Leapheart, i.e., John Africa. 61 homes were destroyed, 250 homeless, and 6 adults with 5 children were killed.

Umar’s possible father if he was the US Marine left the military in 1985, the same year as the MOVE bombing. So, if Umar was born in 1972 by the time, he was 13 the MOVE bombing happened, but Umar’s father likely got involved in similar Pan Africanist movements earlier in the 1970s. I am sure such as event played a role in the Umar, we see but would have likely influenced his father’s beliefs as well.



On VLADTV, he stated he grew up in North to North-Central Philadelphia.
He attended George G. Meade Elementary School in Philadelphia. Per a Facebook post, he also attended at least two other elementary schools in the Philadelphia area such as Hartranft and Duckery Elementary. But he didn’t go to an HBCU, which could’ve been for various reasons, yet there are many HBCUs in the Mid-Atlantic such as Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, Cheyney University of Pennsylvania, Delaware State, Morgan State, Bowie State, Howard, etc. I assume this is because interestingly, Umar may have benefited from some sort of affirmative action or racial scholarship to attempt Millersville.

In the interview, he stated he went to the Scotland School for Veterans Children which I found is near Chambersburg, I Pennsylvania. According to Matthew Christopher (2019) of Abandoned America, “According to a state website, “Founded in 1895, SSVC is the only residential school in the nation specifically designed and accredited to educate and care for the children of Pennsylvania military service veterans.”

This would validate the possible link to Jamal Abdullah Johnson.  

In the same VLAD interview, Umar said his goal is to open an all-boys residential school…

When I googled Scotland School for Veterans with the word “abuse” a few articles comes up.



I have said aid this before but Umar as an aspiring Right Wing black authoritarian is a rare example of the “Horseshoe political theory” being true in which contemporary progressive discussions/movements of the Left opened the Pandoras box of fringe Afrocentrism which is ironically ultra conservative (patriarchal, homophobic, etc.) and contradicts reason because it is often in alignment with New Age conspiracy theory/cults.

He has a doctorate in osteopathic medicine which is widely considered pseudo-science using practices such phrenology.

Also, for all of his racial division standpoints, Umar claimed descent from Frederick Douglass (which has been denied by the Douglass estate) yet Frederick Douglass had a white wife despite Umar being so against interracial marriage. So, either Umar is a partial descendant of European ancestry (common among some Black Americans) or he hates (well, per his own theory) his family…for being interracial?

Further, Umar says that a “non-African” can’t be good at things “created by Africans or black people”, but sports like basketball were created…by a white guy. Yet, I am sure Umar’s rebuttal is to simply say…black people invited this or that, etc.

Umar also continues to live in a multi-racial country which is 60%+ white and could leave anytime he wants just as Marcus Garvey – who Umar wants to name a school after – would have advocated for. Umar says he respects Kanye because of his antisemitism (a lazy way of explaining the complex issues affecting the world), but Kanye was married two non-black women.

He says the “Prince of Pan Africanism” (a clear sign of narcissism) but then wants to rep Foundational Black Americans who are theoretically opposed to Pan Africanism since there’s an inherent territorialism to FBAs.  For example his xenophobic comments about Daniel Kaluuya. 

Further, he plans on opening a school, which in theory is noble but…who will accredit the school especially with a curriculum that could be argued as fostering racial supremacy? Not getting accreditation would make the children’s education be worthless as far as higher education, etc.

We can fund Hawaii, Home and Ukraine by Quinton Mitchell

Version 1 posted on 8/17/2023. Version 2 updated on 8/18/2023. Version 3 updated 8/22/2023. Version 4 updated 8/27/2023.

I. Digging into the Hawaii Emergency Management System and debunking the rumor that only $700 was given in Federal Aid to Maui Fire Victims

Disclaimer: This section about Hawaii despite having some research backing my thoughts is speculative. I am not putting any personal blame or libelous claims on any companies, government officials, etc. The general theory is that the fires were started by downed power lines in conjunction with environmental conditions, e.g., dry grasses. However, I wrote this specific section of this paper on Hawaii to research more about the emergency siren system itself, its possible OEMs (official equipment manufacturers), etc.

Sadly, in early August 2023, there were multiple fires on the Hawaiian Islands. Conservatives, conspiracy theorists who have blamed the fires on “Chinese Space Lasers” or arsonists trying to clear the precious real estate, anti-Ukraine War people, etc., have tried to place the blame on President Joe Biden. However, it seems this fire situation was an accident (downed power lines per Brianna Sacks, 2023, of The Washington Post) exacerbated by environmental conditions.

I personally know people from Hawaii. I went to college with many and some of my best friends are from the various islands spanning Oahu and Maui. According to one friend, when consulting his father-in-law, the emergency system was simply old and outdated. According to another friend whose father was a federal firefighter on the US military bases in Hawaii, his father said that local firefighters only “contain” fires, whereas federal fighter fighters serving the US military bases are required to fully put out fires. Sometimes there’s coordination between the firefighters on federal facilities with those of civilian firefighters, but my friend did not know much more than that.

There are many rumors being circulated online, such as Biden only gave $700. These rumors often negate to go into detail about how programs, bills, funds, etc., all work, yet, instead they appeal to emotion and rage within our already divided country, with a good chunk still reeling that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Many of these Trump supporters, but not just them, believe in various conspiracies that been within the pop culture for years such as “FEMA Camps” which are code-word for concentration camps, the New World Order, Mark of the Beast which is code for implants, surveillance, etc.

FEMA itself has even created a Rumor Response Page. See: https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4724/rumor-response

For example, regarding the $700 payment, FEMA.gov (2023) addressed the rumor, titled, “Rumor: FEMA is only giving Hawaii wildfire survivors $700 per household.”, but responding with “This is not true. There is a range of federal disaster assistance available. Critical Needs Assistance provides a one-time payment of $700 to address immediate needs such as food, water, and clothing. This is just one of several types of federal assistance you may be eligible to receive. As applications are reviewed, you can check your application status online or call 800-621-3362 to find out what types of disaster assistance you are eligible to receive.”

Looking into the CNA Program, FEMA.gov (202) stated that, ““FEMA may provide financial assistance to applicants who have immediate or critical needs because they are displaced from their primary dwelling. Immediate or critical needs are life- saving and life-sustaining items including, but not limited to: water, food, first aid, prescriptions, infant formula, diapers, consumable medical supplies, durable medical equipment, personal hygiene items and fuel for transportation. Critical Needs Assistance (CNA) is awarded under the Other Needs Assistance (ONA) provision of the Individuals and Households Program (IHP). Funds awarded for CNA count toward an applicant’s financial ONA maximum for that disaster, which is an annually-adjusted amount based on the U.S. Department of Labor’s Consumer Price Index. CNA is a one-time $500 payment per household. An affected state, territorial, or tribal government must submit a written request to FEMA to implement CNA. FEMA’s Individual Assistance Division Director may authorize assistance when the majority of applicants from the declared area are, or will be, displaced from their primary residence for an extended period of time, generally 7 days or more.” (end quote)

Note, that this quote/reference is from 2020, so that $500 must have been bumped up to the $700.

Further according to FEMA.gov (2021), Other Needs Assistance (ONA) falls under FEMA’s Individuals and Households Program and provides financial help after a disaster to cover necessary expenses and serious needs not paid by insurance or other sources (FEMA, 2021). The first two categories of assistance – transportation and personal property – are dependent on residents applying for a low-interest disaster loan from the U.S. Small Business Administration beforehand. If applicants are denied a loan, or if the loan does not cover all their needs, they may receive a FEMA grant to replace or repair transportation and/or personal property (FEMA, 2021). Survivors do NOT have to apply for an SBA loan first to be considered for the following categories of assistance, which includes (A) moving and storage equipment, (B) Medical and Dental Assistance, (C) Funeral Assistance, and (D) some miscellaneous item (FEMA, 2021). If you have already applied with FEMA for Housing Assistance, you don’t need to apply separately for ONA (FEMA, 2021).

Regarding the Small Business Loan, states such as Washington State’s Emergency Management page under its Department of Military (i.e., the National Guard) stated that, “SBA disaster loans are available even without a Presidential Disaster Declaration and are a great tool to provide low-interest loans to individuals, families, businesses and organizations that suffer physical or economic loss due to a disaster or other disruption”

For more information about the Individual and Housing Program you can go to the following link: https://www.fema.gov/assistance/individual/program

But what about this Other Needs Assistance (ONA) maximum which the $700 from the Critical Needs Assistance falls under?

First off, Other Needs Assistance programs are administered by the state and funded 75 percent by FEMA and 25 percent by the state (Washington State Military Department – Emergency Management Division). This 75 to 25 cost sharing between the federal government and states can be found on multiple state’s webpages, etc.

Secondly,

According to the Federal Register (2021), where the Federal Register could be understood as the Federal Government’s bulletin board it was stated that Section 408 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (the Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C. 5174, prescribes that FEMA must annually adjust the maximum amount for assistance provided under the Individuals and Households Program (IHP). FEMA gives notice that the maximum amount of IHP financial assistance provided to an individual or household under section 408 of the Stafford Act with respect to any single emergency or major disaster is $37,900 for housing assistance and $37,900 for other needs assistance. The increase in award amount is for any single emergency or major disaster declared on or after October 1, 2021. In addition, in accordance with 44 CFR 61.17(c), this increases the maximum amount of available coverage under any Group Flood Insurance Policy (GFIP) issued (Federal Register, 2021). [See: https://www.fema.gov/fact-sheet/group-flood-insurance-policy%5D

Further, Federal Register (2021) FEMA bases the adjustment on an increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers of 5.3 percent for the 12-month period, which ended in August 2021. The Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor released the information on September 14, 2021.

To wrap our heads around this for the sake of clarity, $700 was given in immediate assistance under the CNA (Critical Need Assistance) Program which is based on an annually-adjusted amount based on the U.S. Department of Labor’s Consumer Price Index, but CNA falls under FEMA’s Other Needs Assistance (ONA) provision, which is a larger type of “expense account budget” where FEMA provides 75% of funding and the state provides the other 25% (as well as manages the program), which is for personal property, transportation, funeral expenses, etc., that is not necessarily for FEMA Housing Assistance (but can be applied for at the same time if applying for FEMA Housing Assistance). ONA however falls under the Individuals and Households Program (IHP) of FEMA. Per Section 408 of the Stafford Act, the ONA maximums are $37,900 for housing assistance and $37,900 for other needs assistance. So, $75,800 overall, but you get $700 up front.

I also found an intresting article about Small Project funding from FEMA which I have not discussed in this post. SEE: https://www.hstoday.us/federal-pages/dhs/fema-increases-public-assistance-small-project-maximum-to-1-million/ and https://www.fema.gov/sites/default/files/documents/fema_pa-simplified-procedures-policy.pdf

The White House has begun the process of disaster relief, but it is important to remember that the Federal government must work with the State Government regarding disaster relief such as in relation to laws such as Posse Comitatus (federal troops can’t police states in theory), the Stafford Act, etc.

Regarding the conspiracy theory that the fires are due to “Chinese Space Lasers”, even though I have no way of verifying that, nor do I really want to encourage the conspiracy because of its jingoistic/xenophobic undertones, back in February 2023, mainstream outlets such as Newsweek, Popular Mechanics, etc., did address the space laser situation. So, I understand why people may believe this, even though I am not sure if it’s believable or not.

Brodsky (2023) stated that the Chinese pollution-monitoring satellite Daqi-1 probably produced the lights spotted over Hawaii on January 28, according to a NASA scientist.

In other words, a sort of optical illusion in the atmosphere.

Yet, back on track, according to CBS News (2023) by way of CNN, residents did receive some text messages about winds and fires, including a National Weather Service fire warning, but per some residents there was not a major alert akin to an Amber Alert and most importantly there were no sirens. Hawaii residents have long been accustomed to the monthly tests of the outdoor siren warning system (CBS News, 2023).

While Maui’s warning sirens were not activated, emergency communications with residents were largely limited to mobile phones and broadcasters at a time when most power and cell service was already cut (CBS News, 2023).

Most Americans can relate to the feeling. We often get Tornado, Flood, or other Emergency warnings, but often it is hard to gauge the severity of the matter.

Relating to Hawaii, the National Weather Service operates the National and Pacific Tsunami Warning Centers ensuring there is free and not-for-profit tracking of tsunamis which can be caused by earthquakes. The PTWC dates to 1946 when 165 U.S. citizens were killed by tsunamis in Alaska and Hawaii.

However, this Tsunami system seems different than the siren warning system involved in the Maui Fire Disaster.   

After looking into the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency (n.d.), the actual siren system under question seems to be the Hawaiʻi All Hazard Statewide Outdoor Warning System managed by the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency (HI-EMA) which is the largest single integrated Outdoor Siren Warning System for Public Safety in the world.

This Warning System is one part of the larger Hawaiʻi Statewide Alert and Warning System (SAWS) which includes FEMA’s Integrated Public Alert & Warning System (IPAWS) which used both the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) to alert the public.

So, who made or worked on the All-Hazard Statewide Outdoor Warning System?

I searched terms such as “Contract”, “Award”, “Supplier”, and “OEM” (Official Equipment Manufacturer), in relation to the All-Hazard Statewide Outdoor Warning System, which we should shorten to AHSOWS, and found an official government website by the State of Hawaii that reveals procurement data of state awards to suppliers. This website is called HANDS, i.e., Hawaii Awards & Notices Data System.

I noticed a few contracts awarded to Federal Signal Corporation by the State of Hawaii for its Defense Department. The Federal Signal Corporation is based in Oakbrook, Illinois, founded in 1901, and specializes in emergency vehicle equipment, warning sirens and public safety systems. They are listed on Nasdaq under NYSEFSS.

From June 2022 through November 2022, I noticed a few procurements (buys) relating to sirens such as 110w Solar Panels and affiliated equipment for the State’s Emergency Warning Siren System which was awarded to Federal Signal Corporation via a Sole Source procurement (i.e., they were the only supplier solicited, i.e., not procured via a competitive bid) issued under Purchase Order Number G22A0157 in a dollar amount of $60,974.27.

Federal Signal Corporation also received a sole soured award Purchase Order under PO # G2218071 in the amount of $58,366.47 for Satellite Activation and Services (Isat Data Pro System Service) for Emergency Siren Communications. According to the posting, “SAT Data Pro System Service ‐ satellite to provide communication with the State’s Emergency Warning Siren System. The SAT service is a backup communication to the Siren system should the Cellular network fail. Service period from July 01, 2022 – June 30, 2023 DAGS Job No 16‐14‐7242. Federal Signal Sole Source # 21‐001‐SK. Approved Dec 11, 2020. CHANGE ORDER 1 Approved

Also, under PO G2218061, in amount of $ 40,722.50, via a sole source procurement, Federal Signal Corporation was awarded an annual renewal for their Commander One Subscription Services which per the posting states, “Annual Renewal of Commander 1 Subscription for service period: 7/1/22 to 6/30/23 Includes: 1. Mobile apps & Web access 2. 20 SEATS 3. 5 Organization 4. 512 devices supported, 5. 24/7 after hours suppor 6. SmartMsg updates and 5,000 text and email notifications/month Approved for Sole Source pursuant to HRS 26‐6, 103D‐306, HAR 3‐122‐143 on 12/11/2020 Ref No. 21‐001‐SK, Federal Signal Sole Source Contract DAGS Job # 16‐14‐7242, CHANGE ORDER 1 Approved 3/8/2022.”

Further, PO 22807001, Federal Signal Corporation was awarded a contract for emergency siren equipment due to environmental reasons and vandalism.

Using a different search term I discovered that Federal Signal Corporation was awarded a $9 Million dollar award by the State of Hawaii for the HI-EMA, under PO 16-14-7242, issued by Daniel Jandoc, which in an Indefinite Quantity type of contract. FSC was to furnish Outdoor Warning Sirens for Public Safety (Sirens). This PO had a Period of Performance of 1/1/2021 to 12/31/2022.

The Period of Performance was 7/1/2022 to 6/30/2023 for the Satellite Activation and Services Contract and 6/14/2023 – 6/30/2023 for the Annual Renewal of Commander 1 Service.

Is it possible that the Period of Performance for certain subscriptions expired and that the State of Hawaii was trying to re-issue a new award or exercise an option, but due to lapse in time from June 2023 to early August 2023, there were lags or drops in coverage between the satellites, cell phones, controllers, towers, etc.? It would be nice to know the actual business and contracting behind the emergency system, i.e., was there pre-planning or were procurement offices reactionary once they realized funding was about to dry up or a new contracting vehicle was lingering in some sort of approval phase.

In other words, Federal Signal Corporation as the prime contractor has a complex system in place to support Hawaii (a combination of Software as a Service -SaaS- mixed with Hardware that integrates with other equipment), but while they were waiting for the state to issue funding for a new award or exercise a contract option, that lap in coverage, possibly mixed with vandalism, weather, etc., disrupted parts of the overall Emergency System, and once the fires started, their high temperatures fried the actual hardware.

II. The Federal Response

According to the White House.gov (2023) in an official press release it was stated that Mr. Maona N. Ngwira of FEMA has been appointed to coordinate Federal recovery operations in the affected areas. Further, President Joe Biden, likely by evoking the Stafford Emergency Act, authorized federal funding available to affected individuals in Maui County including assistance on a cost-sharing basis for hazard mitigation measures statewide which includes grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster.

Per, the White House.gov (2023) article, residents and business owners who sustained losses in the designated areas can begin applying for assistance at www.DisasterAssistance.gov, by calling 800-621-FEMA (3362), or by using the FEMA App.

See Article: Maui’s emergency management chief (Herman Andaya) resigns, citing health reasons, a day after he defended sirens’ silence during deadly wildfires. https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/17/us/hawaii-maui-wildfires-death-toll-thursday/index.html

According to Claims Journal (2023), Two firms have released early estimates of losses and damage from the devastating wildfires across Hawaii’s Maui Island and the historic town of Lahaina. Catastrophe modeler Karen Clark & Company issued new estimates showing the insured property losses from the Lahaina Fire in Hawaii to be around $3.2 billion. AccuWeather on Monday increased its estimate of the total damage and economic loss to $14 to $16 billion (Claims Journal, 2023). That update followed AccuWeather’s preliminary estimate last week of total damage and economic loss of $8-10 billion, and the latest AccuWeather loss estimate would equate to about 15% of the state of Hawaii’s gross domestic product and would exceed the GDP of Maui (Claims Journal, 2023). The Lahaina fire burned approximately 2,170 acres and devastated the town of Lahaina on Maui, according to KCC (Claims Journal, 2023).

According to Jim Garamone (2023) of DOD News of the US Department of Defense, Combined Joint Task Force 50, under the command of Army Brig. Gen. Stephen F. Logan, has mustered almost 700 DOD personnel and 140 Coast Guardsmen that are part of the coordinated response to the Maui wildfires that killed more than 100 people and destroyed the city of Lahaina last week, according to Pentagon Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder. This includes FEMA asking for space at the US Army’s Schofield Barracks for billeting (i.e., rooms for troops and personnel, etc.). The Joint Task Force includes the US Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marines, Homeland Security, FEMA, and the National Guard. The Task Force is flying two Boeing CH-47 Chinooks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_CH-47_Chinook) with fire suppression buckets capable of 189,000 gallons of water, and the Navy also has two Sikorsky (a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin) SH-60 Seahawks and three Boeing CMV-22 Ospreys on standby to support incoming requests.

More specifically this CJTF 50 is comprised of 402nd Field Support Brigade (responsible for assisting in Quartermaster duties, Sustainment Support, etc. in the Pacific Region) under Colonel Courtney Sugai and Lt. Colonel Timothy Page. Also, there is the 249th Engineer Battalion which is a power generation battalion that answers to the US Amry Corps of Engineers and serves more in a Reservist Capacity. The 249th Engineer Battalion Company is comprised of four companies, but specifically Company A is based at Hawaii’s Schofield Barracks and answers to Lt. Colonel Langston J. Turner.  Lastly, the US Air Force and Navy have also established Liaison Officers, i.e., Points of Contract, to help their respected branch coordinate in the CJTF effort. Further, there is the Third Marine Littoral (i.e., nearshore) Battalion under Colonel John G. Lehane of the US Marine Corps providing General Dynamics MQ-9 Reaper Drones for aerial surveillance, Boeing MV-22 Osprey, and a Lockheed Martin KC-130J Super Hercules.

III. We have money for Ukraine, Hawaii, the Border, Crime Prevention, etc.

Sofi Stadium cost $5.5 Billion.

Lionel Messi at FC Barcelona had a $675 Million contract….to himself… but Christiano Rinaldo at Al Nassr has a $536 Million contract.

So that’s $1.2 billion of pledged (not necessarily paid) money on just two athletes.

So, why not hate on sports and not a country trying to maintain independence from Russia, when Russia invaded Ukraine?

[See video, Shut up about NATO expansion]

[See Video: The Dumbest Arguments About Russia’s War on Ukraine]

Regarding the 2008/9 Bailouts of US Auto Industry with giants like Ford and GM, “In all, the federal government extended nearly $81 billion to bail out the auto industry in a rescue effort that began under Bush’s watch and ended in December 2014, well into Obama’s second term.” (Source: Andrew Glass, Politico, 12/19/2018, Bush Bailouts US Automakers, Dec. 19, 2008).

Further, the New York Post (2021) by way of the Associated Press, released an article, titled: Costs of the Afghanistan War, in lives and dollars, which referenced a meta-study by Harvard University’s Kennedy School and Brown University’s Costs of War project. These studies estimated the amount of direct Afghanistan and Iraq war costs that the United States has debt-financed as of 2020 was $2 trillion but with interest will be $6.5 trillion by 2050.

According to Jonathan Masters and Will Merrow (2023) of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), since the war began, the Biden administration and the U.S. Congress have directed more than $75 billion in assistance to Ukraine, which includes humanitarian, financial, and military support, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, a German research institute (end quote). Much of the aid has gone toward providing weapons systems, training, and intelligence that Ukrainian commanders need to defend against Russia, which has one of the world’s most powerful militaries (Master and Merrow, 2023). Yet, according to the US Embassy to Ukraine (2015) Vice President Joe Biden announced today in Kyiv, Ukraine, that, pending consultation with Congress, the White House plans to commit approximately $190 million in new assistance to support Ukraine’s ambitious reform agenda.

Note this was when Biden was Vice President, speaking for President Obama in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, so this was only a policy promise and pledge. Yet, Donald Trump got into office and then threatened to pull funding away that Congress was ready to approve if Ukraine didn’t give dirt on Joe Biden.

But, fast forward, according to Lawrence Richards (2022) of Fox News in an article, titled: US leads the rest of the world with $196 billion given to Ukraine amid war with Russia – Russia first invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, the article’s headline states that use has given $196 Billion, but in the article, it states “$200 billion in promised or sent aid”. Emphasis on promised or pledged, not actually spent, yet it looks like the US has spent over 200 billion.

Yet not all this money is “new money” being randomly created, but it was already spent on existing hardware or approved on existing budgets. Or it is pledged money that has not been approved yet.

Tom Norton (2023) of Newsweek, in his article, titled: Fact Check: Have U.S. Taxpayers Sent Over $200B to Ukraine? In the article Norton (2023) details how Republicans have repeatedly and misleadingly used the $200 Billion price tag. From Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Monica Crowley who stated, “”$200 billion+ of your hard-earned money has been disappeared into the corrupt money-pit of Ukraine.”, Andy Briggs, Keri Lake, Steve Bannon, and Fox News have all chirped this dollar amount.

Norton (2023) states the Kiel Institute that Fox News used for its sources, actually states U.S. spending on all categories of aid has reached around $77 billion, not $200 billion, enacted across four bills since February 2022. In total, Congress has allocated $113 billion in a combination of mostly military, government, and humanitarian aid to Ukraine since last year, according to the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General . (Norton, 2023). But, Kiel notes that a “large portion” of this $113 billion “will not flow directly to Ukraine but is instead allocated towards a broad variety of spending purposes.” (Norton, 2023).

Norton (2023) summarized as of April 2023, that Congress has only approved $113 billion for spending in Ukraine. Researchers tracking spending suggest that only around $77 billion has gone directly to Ukraine, a combination of financial, military and other forms of aid.

So let’s summarized…Fox News or at least prominent conservatives have dubiously stated the US has already spent $200 Billion, yet, per Norton (2023) back in April 2023, the US had spent $77 Billion out of $113 billion approved by Congress. Yet, to update this figure, in July 2023, Masters and Merrow (2023) stated that the US has sent $76.8 Billion, so that matches what Norton (2023) was saying on money actually spent, not promised, not pledged, not talked about, etc.

I do not blame people for being angry about Hawaii vs Ukraine situation regarding the perception and reality of responses and funding, but…Ukraine is not affecting Hawaii, no more Social Security or Medicare are affecting Hawaii. We are talking about different pools of money, bills, authorizations, etc. We have checks and balances, appropriation, and financing rules, etc., so to change rules we need Congress to change such rules. I get it. Why can’t we just command things into existence, but the thing is that we in the United States have rules based on checks and balances and tight appropriation laws (color of money rules, Misappropriation rules, etc.) 

A lot of the Ukraine Lend Lease Money is money already for paid for assets via the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), and Foreign Military Financing (FMF). According to the CRFB, i.e., the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (2023), using PDA, the President can send military hardware out of the U.S. military’s own stockpiles directly to Ukraine (CRFB, 2023). Through USAI, the federal government contracts with the private sector to provide training, supplies, and other operational needs to the Ukrainian military and other allies (CRDB, 2023). Also, per CRFB (2023), the federal government uses FMF to backfill the stockpiles of NATO allies that have sent their own military hardware directly to Ukraine. 

So, when you see this or that billion that is being spent on Ukraine a lot is basically a receipt and public disclosure of something already paid for, not more “pork barrel waste” adding onto our debt. The government did not just “print” with the “Federal Reserve” the money, but the money was also on the books, appropriated, and in many cases already spent on hardware that were sitting in stockpiles. Think of it all as receipts against existing appropriated budgets.

But I get the confusion. Defense funds come from NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) pot of money whereas FEMA funding under Homeland Security comes from the Homeland Security Bill (See HR 8257).

In other words, sending already paid for tanks wouldn’t help Hawaii in a freak act of God accident no one saw coming, so it’s a false equivalency to compare the two, though emotionally I get people’s frustrations. And Congress controls the “power of the purse”, so it is on them to attempt to reform laws, even the constitution, if need be, if they want to change how money is appropriated and spent.

Republicans in Congress, running for office, or anti Biden types talking about this are gaslighting. Congressional Republicans had no problem voting for the NDAA same as Democrats, so if people want more FEMA funding it’s on Congress to do the bills such as budget more for the Homeland Security Bill. The President only signs or vetoes the bills but has certain executive powers to tap into those already existing and approved pots of money, i.e., the PDA program.

According to John M. Donnelly of Rollcall.com (2022), “The Senate voted overwhelmingly Thursday to pass the final defense authorization bill for fiscal 2023, clearing the sweeping measure for President Joe Biden’s signature. If Biden signs the NDAA into law, as he is expected to do, it would be the 62nd straight fiscal year that the defense policy measure has been enacted. The Senate’s final NDAA passage vote was 83-11, and 60 votes were required. The House passed the bicameral compromise on Dec. 8. When Armed Services Chairman Jack Reed, D-R.I., noted that the bill is named after the committee’s top Republican, James M. Inhofe of Oklahoma, the chamber resounded with applause. Reed said that Inhofe’s leadership of the committee, both in the majority and minority, had been “monumental.” Inhofe is retiring at the end of this year. With enactment of the bill, Washington will have authorized spending about $858 billion on defense programs in this fiscal year, mostly at the Pentagon. That is $45 billion, or 5 percent, more than Biden asked for in March.” (end quote).

Think about that. (A) Both parties voted for the NDAA (because it’s political suicide to not), (B) Congress added more money than what Biden had even asked for, meaning that Congress could have potentially shifted $45 Billion to the Homeland Security Bill or had planned on doing that, which theoretically could have pushed the Homeland Security Bill from $80 Billion to $125 Billion, (C) the bill was named for a Republican.

If you are angry at what is happening in Ukraine, then take it up with your legislators.

According to the Appropriations page owned by the US Senate’s website, The Fiscal Year 2023 (FY23) Department of Homeland Security Appropriations bill includes a total of $82.068 billion, including $60.7 billion in net discretionary appropriations.

The below picture is from the US Congress.gov

According to the US Senate Armed Services Committee (2023) 857.9 billion was appropriated for the National Defense Authorization Act of 2023. Out of this 857.9 billion most of the funds goes to the Department of Defense whereas some funding also goes to the Department of Energy considering the DOE overseas nuclear power, certain infrastructure such as electricity attached to our dams (whose construction is monitored by the US Army Corps of Engineers), etc. The bill does allow for up to 6 billion for General Transfer Authority for unforeseen high priority needs via “Reprogramming”. On an interesting note, this FY23 NDAA also authorizes funding to support a 4.6 percent pay raise for both military service-members and the DOD civilian workforce.

So, the NDAA got 857.9 billion, whereas the FY23 Homeland Security Funding Bill of $82.068 billion. So, the NDAA has over 10 times more funding. Yet, whose fault is this? It starts with Congress.

So, can we fund Ukraine to defend itself while protecting the border, funding cops and drug rehabs, investing in public housing and schools, etc? Yes.

The US has money to fund Ukraine and take care of most of its issues at home because our allies are gonna vouch for our debt anyways and buy our US treasuries, because that’s the brilliance of the scheme.

The EU, UK, Japan, Australia, Brazil, Canada, etc., will vouch for our debt and even if the US dollar weakens, a weak US dollar can boost US exports since foreign currencies rise, i.e., they have more purchasing power.

They’ll vouch for our debt because they already have so many US investments that dumping our debt would crash them too and cause a Global Depression. I do not think most of the world wants the Chinese Yuan or Russian Ruble as their reserve currency. And, sorry to the Crypto currency bros, but there’s only so many bitcoins that will ever be made.

The US despite its flaws has a good relationship with most powerful albeit non-Super Power nations. Yet, people have a very conservative framing of how sovereign debt and taxes work as if national financing is the same as personal financing in your personal life, when they’re not the same. Also people forget there were tax cuts on the highest income earners/corporations starting with Bush, the Obama Era Bush tax cut extension, and the Trump cut.

According to the Emily Horton (2017) of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, “In 2013 CBPP estimated that, when the associated interest costs are taken into account, the Bush tax cuts (including those that policymakers made permanent) would add $5.6 trillion to deficits from 2001 to 2018. This means that the Bush tax cuts will be responsible for roughly one-third of the federal debt owed by 2018.”

In theory if Bush didn’t do these cuts and if Americans accepted increases as opposed to reductions in taxes that $6.5 Trillion bill by 2050 with interests included according to Harvard and Brown University’s would have been hedged significantly by the $5.6 Trillion is projected loses in revenue.

So it’s not a matter of not having money for home improvement and Ukraine, when (A) our allies don’t care if we create money because we have the most lethal military as far as weapons that we use to protect them so they do not have to fight, i.e., the US economy is a Spartan mercenary operation at industrial scale, (B) the US has the safest banking system to store the world’s money and if they don’t store it here, they often store it in US dollars, and, (C) we can always reverse the 20 years of tax cuts because the rich are likely investing in this war anyways.

It’s a gaslight to make it seem as if we can’t afford both. Further even if we weren’t funding Ukraine to keep Russia away, our conservative minded, pro business politicians wouldn’t fund the things we want anyways like housing, etc. When has the government ever really invested in people? Bill Maher freaked out when people got COVID relief money.

So pretending like cheapskate frugal Republicans and phony progressive corporate Democrats will make us into a utopia is laughable.

Most people who are against the war are (A) Trump supporters just being Trump supporters, despite, ironically their blood-lust for war with “Communist” China, (B) hippies who have no realpolitik or concept of defense policy who believe peace exist in nature rather than something maintained by projecting force, (C) fake hippies who are actually conservatives who simply want the current Biden Administration to fail but not appearing to be conservative adjacent, e.g. The Hill owned by Nexstar Media, (D) Russian, Chinese, etc., psy-ops that want Russia to win even if they get concessions.
