🚨 The Secret Origins of Robin DiAngelo's White "Anti-Racist" Cult You've heard that it's impossible to be racist against white people. That all white people are inherently racist. That the only solution is to "do the work." Where did this all come from? You might know of Critical Race Theory, but there's another source for these ideas you've never heard about. I undertook an unprecedented investigation into the origins of these ideas, pulling documents and microfilms from university special collections and sending people into "anti-racism" workshops with hidden cameras. Here's a summary: • Stokely Carmichael, the Marxist-Leninist founder of the Black Power movement, kicked all the white people out of his organization and told them to "educate other white people" in his views. • Robert Terry, a white man, developed his philosophy of "New White Consciousness" based on Carmichael's views, explaining "we have met the enemy, and they are us." • After the Detroit riots of 1967, Michigan Governor George Romney engages in "riot insurance" by funding racially militant projects. • White K-12 educators receive this funding and teach New White Consciousness. One of these teachers, Alan Hurwitz, gets addicted to crack and becomes a famed serial bank robber. Another, Patricia Bidol, invents to "Power + Prejudice" definition of "racism." • These educators train with the NTL Institute, an organization founded by U.S. intelligence's former director of the "psychological warfare center for the Far East." There they learn psychologically manipulative education techniques that allow them to “form ideology for other people.” • The National Education Association, America's largest teachers union, trains teachers in these ideas nationwide. • Judith Katz, author of the infamous Smithsonian “Aspects & Assumptions of Whiteness” infographic, refines the techniques of "anti-racism" training and drastically increases their popularity. • Robin DiAngelo plagiarizes her predecessors' ideas wholesale, while citing none of them. All of this and so much more is exposed in my new book Redefining Racism, released TODAY. Learn more from the video below. Follow the link in the next tweet to read it for yourself. 🔽

The @guardian covers the unconstitutional seizure of @MaxBlumenthal's phones at Dulles airport, recognizing it as part of a broader effort by the current administration to intimidate and silence journalists who pose a threat to its foreign policy, and Laura Loomer's possible involvement in this unlawful action. @adc is representing Max and will continue to fight for his rights and those of all journalists

I do not owe my vote to a person who violated all their campaign promises that got me to vote for them in the first place, and primaried and forced my people out of office. Your team is responsible for breaking the coalition and splitting the vote. When you lose it will be your fault, not ours. And yes, I think we’re more likely to get a few swing leftists and be politically competitive then your disaster of an administration is.

This is my team. It’s hard to see this political coalition lasting in the long run, there are too many differences on economics and other issues. But for now, this is the movement we need.
Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸@FmrRepMTG

We said no more foreign wars and we meant it and supported Donald Trump because he made that promise. But he’s betrayed us all. Our commitment is America First for all Americans, right, left, and center. The movement has begun.

@jeremykauffman @MLiamMcCollum And yet they do seem to be actively backing Massie currently. I don’t think the coalition can last precisely for the reason you say. But for this particular political moment, their minds are not on the issues that divide us.

@MLiamMcCollum Thomas Massie wants 90+% of the federal government to not exist. Many people on that list want substantially more government. Why would they back Massie? What could possibly unite them?

Can you imagine how powerful Thomas Massie in 2028 could be if a broad coalition including people like Dave Smith, Tucker Carlson, Joe Kent, MTG, Theo Von, Glenn Greenwald, Megyn Kelly, Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, Joe Rogan, and others united behind him? And I feel like that’s well within reach in this cultural moment…

The offer from Hamas to put its weapons into storage for a decade+ truce has been made in various forms for years. The main difference here is that a specific entity charged with holding the weapons has been set. I hope this moves forward, but I don’t hold a lot of optimism.
Drop Site@DropSiteNews

🟢 EXCLUSIVE: Drop Site obtained the terms Hamas and Palestinian factions agreed to regarding Gaza's governance and the resistance's weapons The document, obtained by Drop Site, details the two most contentious clauses of the agreement: how the incoming National Committee would run Gaza's institutions, and how the resistance's weapons would be handled. Weapons Collection 🔹 The document describes a process to "inventory and store heavy weapons, military production sites, weapons depots, and tunnels," beginning only after Israel meets its remaining Sharm El-Sheikh protocol obligations — including a cessation of attacks, withdrawal, and entry of life-saving essentials. 🔹 The gradual process is linked to "an Israeli withdrawal, in phases, from the areas it controls in Gaza," and the handling of the weapons of armed militias. The process will be according to a schedule drawn up within 14 days, extendable with full party agreement. 🔹 Weapons will not be handed over to Israel or any non-Palestinian party. 🔹 Once the process is complete, the National Committee will be "the [sole] body that retains, stores, or controls weapons in Gaza." 🔹 This is meant to lead toward "a credible path toward realizing Palestinian self-determination and the establishment of the Palestinian state." Civil Administration & Public Sector 🔹 The National Committee "shall maintain, upon assuming full responsibility in Gaza, the continuity of civil institutions and public services." 🔹 Public employees will be treated fairly and with dignity; those terminated or forced into retirement "will receive their rights in accordance with Palestinian law." 🔹 The Committee will conduct "a comprehensive audit of the financial and administrative situation in Gaza," working to protect and recover public resources and assets. 🔹 Debts to suppliers and contractors will be settled, capped at "400 million dollars," to be paid "gradually over the course of three years." 🔹 Any unresolved claims will be addressed later "in the context of a broader national process." While Trump hailed a "historic breakthrough," the draft's actual terms are gradual and conditional. Hamas negotiator Ghazi Hamad told Al Jazeera that the movement will not take any disarmament step before Israel withdraws to the phase 1 line (53% of Gaza, up from the current 70%), and will not act if Israel fails to meet its obligations.

Around 60% of Palestinians support a two-state solution based on the 1967 borders and living in peace with Israel, while Israel continues to impose its control and occupation from the river to the sea. "From the river to the sea" for me, but not for thee.
Eylon Levy@EylonALevy

@IhabHassane My argument is that Israel is not going to commit suicide. If you want “from the river to the sea,” we’re not going to give you from the river to nine miles away from the sea to sprint the remaining distance.

According to this logic, I should teach my son that if he locks his kitten in a closet, keeps it on a starvation diet and denies it medical care, cuts off parts of its tail every so often, and then it bites him, he can kill all its siblings and parents and all other cats in general
Andrew Fox@Mr_Andrew_Fox

Every death in Gaza is ultimately the fault of Palestinians. If the Palestinian terror groups in Gaza didn't attack Israel, didn't turn their civilian towns and cities into militarised infrastructure, didn't use human shields, didn't act on their sick, twisted ideology to go on a murder, rape and torture spree in Israel, there would be no war and tens of thousands of people on both sides, and around the wider region, would still be alive.

For some reason I caved to my toddler's demands to get a kitten, and now all my time at home is consumed with intervening in his attempts to strangle the cat and pull its tail, stop the cat from scratching him, and this morning I had to manage a full-on meltdown because I wouldn't let him eat cat food--that only ceased when I gave him a smoothie and told him it was cat food, after which he ran around holding said smoothie shrieking "cat food" with delight. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Christian Heiens 🏛@ChristianHeiens

If you build a political order solely around maximizing individual liberty, sooner or later you're going to have a bunch of political blowups over what constitutes liberty. The way that a Progressive thinks of liberty is very different than the way that a Conservative thinks of liberty. The Progressive believes that open borders, transgender surgeries for children, gay marriage, and public drug use are all covered under individual liberty. The Conservative thinks that gun rights, free speech, private property, and limited government all constitute individual liberty. So obviously, “individual liberty” is not enough to hold a society together. But Progressives, Libertarians, and even Conservatives for that matter (so basically like 90% of the political actors in society right now) all have a collective objection. If you instead try to reorder society around something else, say morality, virtue or cultivating human flourishing, then you're simply inviting a fight over the definition of “what is morality?” or “what is virtue?” or “what is human flourishing?” And so what you end up having is just an infinite regress where whatever metric the state or society claims to want to promote through politics and government simply becomes the new battlefield over which we fight for the power to define the meaning of terms and definitions forever, because the power to define these things necessary entails the power to rule. Politics can never be self-referential. There’s no order that can forever be grounded in a concept where the definition of said concept is itself something that’s politically contested. If your order is grounded in liberty, someone must decide what counts as liberty. If your order is grounded in morality, someone must decide what is moral. If your order is grounded in flourishing, someone must decide what flourishing looks like. And so on, and so on. Ultimately, nothing can ever take the place of decision. The power to decide is what ultimately governs every order, not the abstract concept or principle said order claims to stand for. I’m not saying the abstract concepts don’t matter. Obviously they do. Power for the sake of power is pointless. Everyone always has a reason for seeking out power and some reasons are vastly more grounded in objective truth than others, but the existence of a reason doesn’t take away from the fact that someone has to inevitably wield power to make that reason a concrete political reality.

Fantastic Hoppe essay. I think I’ve read pieces of this quoted elsewhere regarding his views on immigration, but the flow of the whole thing is great. His reasoning is the same as mine for why I argue libertarianism is inherently right-wing, in that we focus on allowing for the results of natural inequalities. I do think he over flattens things though.“Equality under the law” is vital to minarchist libertarianism, and equality in the nature of our rights to all libertarianism. Few to no people are 100% consistently right wing or left wing, but rather a mix of both in how they look at different areas.

Stephan Kinsella@NSKinsella·
FEE: "As Leonard Read famously wrote, libertarians are “neither left nor right.”" Hoppe: hanshoppe.com/2014/10/a-real… libertarians are right-libertarians not left-libertarians because "the Right is realistic and essentially correct and sensible" whereas the left is unrealistic and egalitarain. Roderick Long: "He was wrong. A consistent libertarian must be a leftist." Like the joke goes, he thinks he's a wit, and he's half-right. facebook.com/feeonline/post…

That’s not true. I voted for Trump in 2020 too. Trump has always been critical of Iran and said he would not allow them to have a nuclear weapon. He was also very clear about no new mid-East Wars, and never proposed war as a necessary path to stop them from having a nuke. Nor was it necessary, and it has been counterproductive to this goal.

@JosephJakeKlein @SalomeSibonex You both jumped on the Trump wagon last minute because the alternative was disastrous — Trump has always been critical on Iran and advocated for military force, for over 30 years, there’s tons of videos on it. I have covered them

If by “nothing” you mean: - Neutralize the Strait of Hormuz as a geopolitical chokepoint - Prevent Radical Iran from weaponizing global energy markets - Protect Americans from energy-driven inflation and our economy - Break the Iran–China energy partnership - Eliminate the Iran–China shadow oil market - Preserve our dollars value - Increase Western leverage over global energy security - Force China onto more transparent energy markets - Raise China’s long term strategic costs - Reduce funding for Iran’s regional proxy network - Restore American deterrence through decisive action - Secure critical global shipping lanes - Strengthen America’s position as a stable global energy supplier (Gulf of America) - Protect the US led global economic order - Preserve confidence in US dollar-based financial system - Disrupt sanctions evasion networks - Weaken China’s geopolitical foothold through its strategic partners - Pressure the broader China–Iran–Russia alignment - Increase pressure on Venezuela by weakening its allies - Increase pressure on Cuba by weakening its allies - Reduce authoritarian cooperation across multiple regions - Push China out of the Western Hemisphere over the long term - Improve the long-term resilience of global supply chains - Prevent nuclear proliferation in the Middle East - Degrade Iran’s missile and drone capabilities - Deter future attacks on U.S. forces and allies (bring troops that are solely in Middle East because of radical Iran back home) - Reassure allies that U.S. security guarantees remain credible - Reduce Iran’s ability to arm and support proxy organizations - Force hostile regimes into a defensive posture - Resolve the Middle East theater to free US strategic focus for competition with China - Reassert American leadership in global geopolitics Then sure, it’s been “for nothing”. This is why LOLbertarians have never and will never achieve anything — they hate to win Perpetually in a corner pouting at the left and the right, at least the communists stand for something
