Continuing with a recent trend of quietly passing legislation that seeks to bar the use of textbooks that do not follow the narrative that places The European & American as The Founders of Civilization, The Oklahoma State Legislation is now taking steps to have AP U.S. History courses removed from its State Curriculum. Claiming that the curriculum is Negative & Unpatriotic. Sponsored by State Representative Dan Fisher (of course he's a Republican), a pending bill would withhold funding unless there's a change to the curriculum. Republicans deem the course subject matter to be "revisionist,"places too much emphasis on topics like slavery and the Japanese internment camps during World War II," emphasizes "what is bad about America," and paints a bad picture of America from a global sense. I'm not sure what Kool-Aide these cats have been drinking; but these horrible things really did happen. furthermore, I'm sure whatever is in the coursework & tests is still a watered down version. But I guess these demons prefer to pretend that these things never happened. Similar movements have been going down for at least the last two years in several places, including Texas, Tennessee, Georgia & Colorado. Any curriculum that does not promote the lie of Europeans & Americans as Great civilizers, Explorers, Defenders of Freedom & The source of All Enlightenment is gonna catch fire from the far too many Republican-Controlled Local & State Governments across the country. But a True Analysis of History shows every aspect of that ideal to be false. Murderous exploiters is what they have actually been. And like I said before, whatever truth one may find in these History & Geography courses is still greatly watered down too.

Be it jockeying for tactical advantages during The Cold War, or protecting its "Business Interests" (translation: stealing/exploiting the Natural Resources of Africa, Arabian, South American & Asian Countries), America has ALWAYS had its hand in other countries pockets. Wars have been fought, Leaders Assassinated, New Regimes created, Millions of innocents have died & even more tortured. Rarely ever are these crimes against humanity acknowledged. Hell, if one were to make a list of the most notorious Dictators in history-the majority of them were put in place with help from The CIA and/or American Military. Starting with the 1950's, any leader that dared to push a policy that even appeared to go contrary to what American Business or Military interests could lead to imprisonment, Exile or Death. Of course we still see this same pattern today in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Egypt, Venezuela & Brazil. Among the many examples of these atrocities, there's the 1973 Military Coup that installed General Augusto Pinochet over Chilean President Salvador Allende. Upon being elected into office, President Allende had announced plans to Nationalize a number of business Industries & this would have left several American Firms (Exploiters) out in the cold. When President Richard Nixon's efforts to turn the People of Chile against their President, by doing all that could be done to wreck their economy, American then began backing three separate groups intended to stage a coup. Weapons & Intel were provided to the groups, and on September 11, 1973, General Augusto Pinochet assumed power. Allende & many of his supporters were executed. Over the next 17 years, more than 3,100 people were murdered & another 29,000 were said to have been tortured. Only Old age & Dementia could stop Pinochet's rule. Another gross example of America's bloody hand deals with the 1961 assassination of Patrice Lumumba, the first prime minister of the recently liberated Democratic Republic of the Congo. Though The Congolese Citizens had successfully staged a revolution against its Belgian Colonial Oppressors, American supported Belgium's efforts to keep control of many of the new nation's resources. The conflict had escalated to violence, which prompted Lumumba to reach to The Soviet Union for supplies. Lumumba would then marked for death, by The CIA, but the first attempt failed. in late 1960 he was captured and tortured. On January 17th 1961, Patrice Lumumba was executed. Joseph Mobutu would be installed as the new leader of The Congo, and would run the country into the group-while meddling in the affairs of neighboring African Nations. Other notable interventions include Indonesia in 1965, in which CIA-backed General Suharto was placed in power over President Sukarno. Sukarno's crime against humanity was that he refused to choose sides in The Cold War; so from 1957 until 1965, the U.S. tried assassinating Sukarno both literally & via propaganda. As for General Suharto, he is credited with executed somewhere between 500,000 & 1 Million Indonesian citizens identified by The CIA as "Suspected Communists." Let's not forget Haiti's "Papa Doc" Duvalier, who is allegedly responsible for more than 100,000 deaths during his American-Approved reign. His son would later take power, and continue the Family Business. There's also the U.S. Navy supported deposing of Guatemalan President Jacobo Árbenz in 1954, and others like it in The Dominican Republic in 1961, South Vietnam in 1963, Brazil in 1964, and Angola in 1975. Not as efficient as they once were, recent activities to overthrow the leaders of Egypt, Libya & Syria have all led to serious blow-back. It will be interesting to see what strategy changes may come under the now Republican-Controlled Congress & the next President.

But if you listen to Conservative Talk Radio, Fox News, or the average vigilante idiot on the various social media networks, Shariah Law is this super secret conspiracy to override the U.S. Constitution & take over America. Just a simple Google search of the phrase "Sharia Law in America" brings up so many weird small town news stories, that Google truncates them into several categories & "more stories like this" links. The temperature raised quite a bit, after the recent terror attacks in France. amid the hysteria, all of the usual suspects came out to voice their concerns about the same thing here in America. The biggest shot came from so-called terrorism expert Steven Emerson of the Investigative Project on Terrorism. Emerson went on Fox News and claimed that parts of England, France, Germany & Sweden have been taken over by Muslim immigrants-and that these "No Go Zones" have set up up their on Shariah-Based sovereignty. Additionally he claimed that there are even entire cities, such as Birmingham, England “where non-Muslims simply don’t go in.” It was his specific citing of Birmingham that ignited a backlash large enough to prompt Fox News to throw him under the bus. After days of aggressively pushing the story initially, Fox News personalities began the process of apologizing for airing the story without first confirming whether or not it was true. How many times has that happened??? Unfortunately for them, this rare moment of humility didn't appease European leaders, as Paris, France is set to sue Fox News for its irresponsible claims about the alleged Islamic takeover of their city.
And just as the fire was starting to die down, in walks Louisiana Governor/likely 2016 Presidential Candidate Bobby Jindal. As if the myth had not already been debunked, Jindal went in full blast with more claims of this weird conspiracy to take America & Europe. “In the West, non-assimilationist Muslims establish enclaves and carry out as much of Sharia law as they can without regard for the laws of the democratic countries which provided them a new home ... It is startling to think that any country would allow, even unofficially, for a so called "no-go zone." The idea that a free country would allow for specific areas of its country to operate in an autonomous way that is not free and is in direct opposition to its laws is hard to fathom.” No specific instances of this were provided, but when pressed for his sources, Bobby Jindal referred to claims made in tabloid paper & immediately shifted the conversation to some fighting back against Liberal conspiracies to hide the truth from the people. From their Jindal has gone on to add more fear-mongering comments to the fire. “What some immigrants of late desire to do is to colonize Western countries because setting up your own enclave and demanding recognition of a no-go zone are exactly that.” Peep the code words: "Non-assimilationist," "Democratic countries that gave them a home," Colonize," etc. These are the elements of how millions of Americans get stirred up into a frenzy-be it based on fear, guilt, a sense of entitlement, territorial paranoia, or a combination of these elements. From there these masses go out in force to intimidate their elected officials to draft insane legislation & fight any person or group that seeks to bring reason & intelligence back into the conversation. Another example of this same fuckery could be found in the words of Nevada Republican Sharron Angle, who told a group of Tea Party supporters that Dearborn, Michigan & Frankford, Texas were now under Sharia law. She went on to be quoted as saying “We're talking about a militant terrorist situation, which I believe isn't a widespread thing, but it is enough that we need to address, and we have been addressing it...” The problem here, aside from the incendiary comments & the fact that it's not true, is that Frankford, Texas doesn’t really exist. It was Annexed by Dallas 1975, and there is little that remains from the time prior to annexation. And in the case of Dearborn, which does have the largest population of Muslims in America, that claim comes from a 2010 satirical article taken seriously and reported in scores of other publications as if it was a fact. Since then the lie has been repeated over and over again-along with Gross exaggerations of real community-based tribunals that resolve family disputes, based on Islamic Laws & Arab Traditions disguised as Shariah Law superseding the courts. The establishment of The Muslim Students’ Associations at various universities, cultural accommodations for Muslim students at some universities & public schools, and dietary accommodations for Muslim prison inmates are often also used as additional evidence of the so-called establishment of an Islamic State in The West. As far as the so-called "No Go Zones," In America these same type of lower income areas would be called "The Hood" or "Inner City." Alas, the Caucasian's love for classifying people into groups to be defined & labeld as inferior & thus somehow to be feared. Despite warnings from Israel & The United States, Palestine has responded to The U.N. Security Council's failure to pass a resolution that would mandate that Israel withdraw from Palestinian territories by 2017. The measure in The U.N. had received support from France, Russia and China-but was defeated by opposing votes from The U.S., Australia, Israel & others. As a Result, The Palestinians will now pursue war-crimes charges against Israel and challenge Israeli continued building of settlements on disputed lands. The first step came earlier this week, with an application filed by The Palestinians to join the International Criminal Court.
For those not paying attention, The Palestinian Leaders have been told by the past three U.S. Presidents that negotiating & concessions would ultimately get them some of the land that was TAKEN from them in 1948 (or at least some of the additional land lost during fighting in 1967). More than twenty years later, the Palestinians still sit in war torn pieces of The West Bank & Gaza Strip. Earlier this year, Israel pushed in & approved additional settlements on this lands also & make no mistake about it, those lands are being taken by FORCE! Perhaps with the support of The International Criminal Court, Israel & The U.S. will slowly be forced to go along with allowing the creation of a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem. The court will be able to challenge Israel's further expansion into these areas, and its unjustified use of military action to enforce these incursions. Palestinian officials will have to wait at least 60 days before they can take any action. For what it's worth, Israel has already threatened unspecified Retaliatory Actions. Let's keep a watch on this... There's no questioning the fact that Nikko Jenkins is a certified Psychopath & Murderer. But his inclusion in an Omaha Campaign (of course Republican) has even some of their own running as gar away from this as possible. Labeled as "Racist," “fear-mongering,’’ “inappropriate,’’ and “over-the-top,’’ The Republican National Committee Ad-used to push Omaha Republican Lee Terry ahead of his Democrat Opponent Brad Ashford-has drawn comparisons to the infamous Willie Horton Ads used during the 1988 Presidential Election. In both cases, the Republican side manipulated American's all too common fear of the Black Boogeyman, in order to make the Democratic Party seem somehow weak. In both cases, a criminal was allowed an early release from prison, for good behavior; but went on to commit inconceivably heinous crimes. In NEITHER case was it the fault or policy of said Democratic Challenger-but of course this wouldn't matter to the voting public. in spite of the outcry to remove the ad, the RNC has refused. As for Nikko Jenkins, upon being released this summer, he killed four people-in three separate ambushes-over 10 days. Word is, he begged prison officials to have him committed to a Mental Institution & warned of potential violence prior to his release. |
