Heather Mac Donald--‘Social Justice’ Ideology Is Damaging American Values - Minding The Campus

‘Social Justice’ Ideology Is Damaging American Values - Minding The Campus
"Social-justice ideology is turning higher education into an engine of progressive political advocacy, according to a new report by the National Association of Scholars.
Left-wing activists, masquerading as professors, are infiltrating traditional academic departments or creating new ones—departments such as “Solidarity and Social Justice”—to advance their cause.
They are entering the highest rung of college administration, from which perch they require students to take social-justice courses, such as “Native Sexualities and Queer Discourse” or “Hip-hop Workshop,” and attend social-justice events—such as a Reparations, Repatriation, and Redress Symposium or a Power and Privilege Symposium—in order to graduate.
But social-justice education is merely a symptom of an even deeper perversion of academic values: the cult of race and gender victimology, otherwise known as “diversity.”
The diversity cult is destroying the very foundations of our civilization.
It is worth first exploring, however, why social-justice education is an oxymoron..."

Germany: AFD’s Gottfried Curio Exposes the United Nations Global Refugee Pact: ‘The goal is to make every internal refugee in Africa a problem for Europe’ (Video) – RAIR

Germany: AFD’s Gottfried Curio Exposes the United Nations Global Refugee Pact: ‘The goal is to make every internal refugee in Africa a problem for Europe’ (Video) – RAIR--Posted by Amy Mek

"...Dr. Gottfried Curio is a member of the Bundestag (German federal parliament) for AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, Alternative for Germany). 

In a speech on the floor of the Bundestag, Dr. Curio addresses the catastrophic effects of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s alliance with the United Nation’s High Commissioner for “Refugees” and its Global Migration Pact.

This radical alliance has resettled millions of dangerous illegal economic migrants in Germany and throughout Europe and had debilitating financial effects on Germany. As Curio points out, Germany is on a horrific path toward recession:

Rich Germany, where there are no apartments available, not enough teachers, no daycare places available, but plenty of debt and EU liabilities, crumbling bridges, roads, and schools, and our elderly people feeding themselves at charity food banks.

Despite the adverse economic and safety impacts on Germany resulting from the 2015 Merkel-UN policy alliance, the plan is to continue resettling people from nations where they already have safety and protection:

Currently more than 50% of the young people in the Arab world want to emigrate. That’s 53 million, and several million are waiting in Syrian camps for their resettlement in Europe. However, with an expected doubling of the African population to 2.4 billion by 2050, overpopulation is likely to become a prominent reason for flight. Certainly they will also be fairly distributed all over the globe.

Money and power?-----How an Alzheimer’s ‘cabal’ thwarted progress toward a cure - STAT

How an Alzheimer’s ‘cabal’ thwarted progress toward a cure - STAT
"In the 30 years that biomedical researchers have worked determinedly to find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease, their counterparts have developed drugs that helped cut deaths from cardiovascular disease by more than half, and cancer drugs able to eliminate tumors that had been incurable.
But for Alzheimer’s, not only is there no cure, there is not even a disease-slowing treatment.
The brain, Alzheimer’s researchers patiently explain, is hard — harder than the heart, harder even than cancer.
While that may be true, it is increasingly apparent that there is another, more disturbing reason for the tragic lack of progress: 
The most influential researchers have long believed so dogmatically in one theory of Alzheimer’s that they systematically thwarted alternative approaches.
Several scientists described those who controlled the Alzheimer’s agenda as “a cabal.”
In more than two dozen interviews, scientists whose ideas fell outside the dogma recounted how, for decades, believers in the dominant hypothesis suppressed research on alternative ideas:
They influenced what studies got published in top journals, which scientists got funded, who got tenure, and who got speaking slots at reputation-buffing scientific conferences.
This stifling of competing ideas, say a growing number of scholars, is a big reason why there is no treatment for Alzheimer’s.
(The four approved drugs have no effect on the disease, providing only a temporary memory boost.)..."

"America’s apparently unstoppable gusher of mass Third World immigration is on track to deliver a sick, dystopian future, where some people will do very well—cheap maids and all—but women and children will fare quite poorly.
...With the major media actively covering up the crimes of immigrants, and big tech companies censoring people who point out the peculiarities of other cultures, there seems to be a major campaign on to prevent Americans from noticing.
Luckily, we have “Law & Order” to tell us the truth—technically to prompt me to tell the truth by correcting their scripts, in which sex traffickers, little boy rapists and women-hating mass shooters are invariably Trump-supporting white American males..."

Former Vatican Chief Slams Globalist Dreams of ‘World Unity’ Religion:

Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Muller, the Vatican’s former doctrinal czar, warned against Catholics who long for a “meta-religion” of world unity in a January 1 homily in Phoenix.

Beclownings: Top 25 Ridiculous Democrat Moments of 2019 - American Thinker
"Democrats are a lot of annoying and awful things, and God forbid they should roll back into power in the next election. 
But they're also ridiculous, obnoxious, sanctimonious, constantly getting caught unawares of how preposterous their positions have placed them. 
It takes a whole lot of piety, hypocrisy, and phoniness to achieve some of the heights they've reached in the past year. 
Here's my bottom-up selection of the top 25 beclownings for 2019:

25. Edelweiss: The New York Times's Maggie Haberman, ever quick to find a reason to call President Trump a 'Nazi' ignorantly tweeted that the president's playing of anti-Nazi anthem 'Edelweiss' from the 'Sound of Music' was Nazi stuff.

Green ideas must take blame for deaths

Green ideas must take blame for deaths
"It wasn't climate change which killed as many as 300 people in Victoria last weekend.
It wasn't arsonists.
It was the unstoppable intensity of a bushfire, turbo-charged by huge quantities of ground fuel which had been allowed to accumulate over years of drought.
It was the power of green ideology over government to oppose attempts to reduce fuel hazards before a megafire erupts, and which prevents landholders from clearing vegetation to protect themselves.
So many people need not have died so horribly.
The warnings have been there for a decade.
If politicians are intent on whipping up a lynch mob to divert attention from their own culpability, it is not arsonists who should be hanging from lamp-posts but greenies..."
