LIBERTY REVIEW
LIBERTY REVIEW:

Somewhere
along the line, red pens disappeared. It was always nice to see a red
A on your paper. But, when did it become too devastating for children
to see a bright red F? There’s nothing like red ink on a white
piece of paper to get your attention.......

Capital
F
By
Tammy Derouin
If
only there would have been some kind of warning. These were the
words of a young, single mother who was distraught over the reality
of her situation. A millennial expressed how there should have been
some kind of warning as to what could happen when you start having
sex.
This
young woman, who was struggling with an ex-partner, was having a
verbal conversation with her text screen. It was half private
conversation and half asking anyone in ear shot range for
understanding and support. I could not shake the discomfort of one
sentence; if only there would have been some kind of warning. I froze
in disbelief.
The
millennial generation, the generation which has always had the world
at their fingertips and more sex education in public schools than any
generation before them, needs additional warnings as to what can
happen when you have sex? Wasn’t the introduction of more graphic
sex education in the schools neatly packaged to parents, a generation
ago, as a way to reduce pregnancies? The influence of the
progressive Left, with their Common Core standards, removal of
history and implementation of their social agenda issues, has failed.
Our public-school system is being destroyed and so is our future.
What happened to all the bright red markers? The Department of
Education has earned a capital F.

For 500 years, they've exploited their fellow man and plundered the planet.
It's time they rein themselves in
This article originally appeared on AlterNet.
The future of life on the planet depends on bringing the 500-year rampage of the white man to a halt.
And just as some whites played a part in ending slavery, colonialism, Jim Crow segregation, and South African apartheid, there is surely a role whites can play in restraining other whites in this era.
For five centuries his ever more destructive weaponry has become far too common.
His widespread and better systems of exploiting other humans and nature dominate the globe.
The time for replacing white supremacy with new values is now. And just as some whites played a part in ending slavery, colonialism, Jim Crow segregation, and South African apartheid, there is surely a role whites can play in restraining other whites in this era.
Beneath the sound and fury generated by GOP presidential candidates, Fox News, website trolls, police unions and others, white people are becoming aware as never before of past and present racism.
...The mother of all grand bargains is the U.S. Constitution which accommodated slavery in several ways, including the notorious three-fifths clause.
...Katznelson is white.
So am I.
So are many others now writing and speaking honestly and openly about the enduring power of white racism.
That is valuable because it strengthens the idea that whites can come to terms with reality, past and present, as opposed to the myths we are encouraged to believe..."
Interesting!-----I'm the Jewish Banker Behind the Soros Fortune | Spengler
I'm the Jewish Banker Behind the Soros Fortune | Spengler:
"The Internet is crawling with loonie stories alleging that liberal funder George Soros is a frontman for the Rothschild banking family, in the service of a conspiracy for world government.
In the 19th century, to be sure, the Rothschild bank exercised enormous power at the peak of British and French financial influence.
Today the Rothschild bank in London is a boutique with annual profits of about $70 million, a rounding error in the accounts of a J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley or Goldman Sachs.
Never you mind, respond the paranoids: the Rothschilds are a hidden octopus, and the fact that we don't see their money proves that it's all a conspiracy.
You can't talk sense to tin hats.
There is one part of this story that I can clarify, however:
I am the Jewish banker responsible for a large part of Soros' fortune.
It wasn't intentional, and I'm sorry about it, but there was no conspiracy involved, let alone a Jewish one.
Soros already was rich when our paths crossed; he had made several billion dollars for his investors speculating against the British pound in 1992.
His next great trade was a short against the Thai baht during the great Asian financial crisis of 1997, and that's where I came in..."

"Totschweigetaktik" is a German word that literally means "death by silence".
Rather than active censorship, totschweigetaktik as a tactic increasingly employed by progressives, simply denies conservative ideas the very air they need to breathe
The internet has become the primary arena, the most important market-place, in the contest of ideas.
But what if that market-place is almost completely controlled by progressive social media monopolies ????
Where can Conservatives voices find ears to hear their message if that very market-place is sealed off to them????
This is the problem we now face.
Facebook, Google and Twitter have effectively taken control of the market-place and this progressive triumvirate now holds a power that many governments could only dream of possessing.
The power to only allow out those ideas that serve their purpose.
George Orwell outlined the danger of such power as early as 1945, in a biting critique of the mainstream press.
"At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas which it is assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question.
Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness.
A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing, either in the popular press or in the highbrow periodicals."

"New Hampshire’s Democratic Party chair referred to rural, disaffected voters as “white supremacists” and “extremists” on Sunday.
...Look Ahead America, an organization that reaches out to “disaffected, patriotic Americans” may be headed to New Hampshire next.
“New Hampshire’s going to be, probably, the state we advance to next,” Matt Braynard, the executive director said.
“We’ve identified maybe 15,000 inactive voters who we would consider disaffected, patriotic Americans.
And potentially 100,000 or more unregistered adults we’re going to reach out to.”
...New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley...claiming that the disaffected voters Look Ahead will be working with are “extremists” and “white supremacists.”
“The organizing and activating of these extremists, these white supremacists, really could have a detrimental effect on the entire culture of New Hampshire,” Buckley said.

14 Things the MSM Won't Tell You About DACA
14 Things the MSM Won't Tell You About DACA
"Whenever a Republican wants to move forward — you know, pass some legislation or even enforce the law as already written, they always, always, ALWAYS have to run through a mainstream media propaganda gauntlet dedicated to the status quo, loyal only to the Democrat cause and by extension opposed to anything resembling progress.
"Whenever a Republican wants to move forward — you know, pass some legislation or even enforce the law as already written, they always, always, ALWAYS have to run through a mainstream media propaganda gauntlet dedicated to the status quo, loyal only to the Democrat cause and by extension opposed to anything resembling progress.
- Obamacare is an objective disaster; nonetheless, the media fights tooth and nail to save it.
- Our tax code is a backwards, prosperity-stifling haven for corporatist special interests; nonetheless, the media will do everything in its power to ensure not a single word is altered.
Then there is illegal immigration, which, like abortion, the MSM treats as its own personal sacrament.
Flooding America, primarily Red States, with illegal Democrats who also serve the interests of a Big Business Complex desperate to keep wages low and unions non-existent, there is nothing our corrupt media will not do to keep that illegal flood flooding.
...If your only understanding of this complicated issue comes from the MSM, of course you are outraged over the fact that Trump is about order an army of jackbooted ICE agents to kick in daycare center doors, snatch up all the “brown children,” and then hurl the angelic toddlers (with actual rings of gold hovering over their heads) into cattle cars headed south.
Hopefully the list below will offer some clarity and context.
The first point, I think, is the most important.
1. This Is Only the Fault of the Parents
My wife was born in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, and came to America as a small child.
But she was brought here by her parents legally and remained here legally until she obtained her citizenship, something she prizes above most everything else.
This is how immigration is supposed to work.
If you ask my wife about DACA, she blames the parents of these children who, unlike her own parents, broke the law and put their children in this situation.
If your parents don’t pay the rent, is it the landlord’s fault when you are evicted, or is it the fault of your parents?
If your parents sneak you into Disneyland without paying, is it Disney’s fault when you are booted out, or is it the fault of your parents?
If your parents sneak you into a country illegally, is it the country’s fault when you get deported, or is it the fault of your parents?
Blaming America or Trump or anyone other than the parents for any of this, is a ruse, a con, a rhetorical trick...

The Constitutional Crisis Among College Students – Da Tech Guy Blog:
"Many college students have become increasingly strident in their views about the U.S. Constitution despite understanding little about the document.
...This generation–known as iGen–were born between 1995 and 2012.
These young people have spent much of their lives with a smartphone in their hands.
Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University...“Opposing viewpoints can’t just be argued against; they have to be shut down,” she wrote recently in The Wall Street Journal.
For the most part, it appears that these viewpoints come from the social justice warriors they had as teachers.
In an online discussion for my law class, some students said they simply want to do away with the U.S. Constitution and start over.
“The Constitution is America’s sacred cow,” one student wrote.
“It was written by a bunch of rich, white men to protect other rich, white men.
The framers did not trust ‘ordinary’ people to make every day decisions.
It is a racist document, although others would argue this.
It is completely ambiguous.
It was written in 1787 and it is now 2017 and we still refer back to this document and debate what the framers truly meant….
Progressives want government to change things while conservatives favor the status quo.”

Open Borders, Corporate Interests Brace for End of DACA:
"For United We Dream Executive Director Cristina Jimenez, who came to the U.S. illegally at 13, the end of DACA would be a personal blow, as she was a member of the organizing campaign that helped Obama put the amnesty program into force.
In the world of big business, the end of DACA will be a loss for companies enjoying six years of cheaper labor.
Despite pushback from tech CEOs like Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, ending DACA could be a major stimulus for the 4.4 percent of unemployed Americans who will see more than 700,000 new job openings across the country."

Chronic absenteeism a problem in Michigan schools
"At 660 schools in the state of Michigan, more than 30% of the students are chronically absent, according to a newly released report on chronic absenteeism in the nation's schools.
That number — which represents 19% of all schools in Michigan — puts the state well above the national average for the percent of schools with extreme levels of chronic absenteeism.
The national average is 11%.
"When that high of a level of churn is happening, it's both affecting the kids who are chronically absent, but it's also affecting the ability of the school and the teacher to create a meaningful educational experience," said Hedy Chang, executive director of Attendance Works.

A Version of Antifa on Campus | Minding The Campus:
"A VERSION OF ANTIFA ON CAMPUS
Bad news from the Chronicle of Higher Education: the anti-fascist movement, still very small, is organizing on campus, recruiting faculty, students and administrators, and making an improbable bid for respectability.
Under the mild headline, “Faculty Members Organize to fight ‘Fascist’ Interlopers on Campus,” reporter Nell Gluckman says the recruiters are not explicitly aligned with the violent thugs of “Antifa,” but decline to oppose or condemn them and share the same attitude toward violence (very useful).
Mark Bray, a Dartmouth lecturer and a member of the campus movement, has defended Antifa’s violent tactics, recently explained in The Washington Post, “Its adherents are predominantly communists, socialists and anarchists” who believe that physical violence “is both ethically justifiable and strategically effective.”
Mark Thiessen of The Post comments: “In other words, they are no different from neo-Nazis.”
