NEW YORK POST
— The agenda of Black Lives Matter is far different from the slogan – Mike Gonzalez and Andrew Olivastro (DIERSEN: To promote BLM is to shout that you hate individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Protestant, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://nypost.com/2020/07/01/the-agenda-of-black-lives-matter-is-far-different-from-the-slogan/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Many see the slogan Black Lives Matter as a plea to ­secure the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all Americans, especially historically wronged African Americans. They add the BLM hashtag to their social-media profiles, carry BLM signs at protests and make financial donations. Tragically, when they do donate, they are likely to bankroll a number of radical organizations, founded by committed Marxists whose goals aren’t to make the American Dream a reality for everyone — but to transform America completely. This might be unknown to some of the world’s best-known companies, which have jumped on the BLM bandwagon. Brands like Airbnb and Spanx have promised direct donations. True, others like Nike and Netflix have shrewdly channeled their donations elsewhere, like the NAACP and other organizations that have led the struggle for civil rights for decades. These companies are likely aware of BLM’s ­extreme agenda and recoil from bankrolling destructive ideas. But it requires sleuthing to learn this. Companies that don’t do this hard work are providing air cover for a destructive movement and compelling their employees, shareowners and customers to endorse the same. Just ask BLM leaders Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi. In a revealing 2015 interview, Cullors said, “Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers. We are trained Marxists.” That same year, Tometi was hobnobbing with Venezuela’s Marxist dictator Nicolás Maduro, of whose regime she wrote: “In these last 17 years, we have witnessed the Bolivarian Revolution champion participatory democracy and construct a fair, transparent election system recognized as among the best in the world.” Millions of Venezuelans suffering under Maduro’s murderous misrule presumably couldn’t be reached for comment. Visit the Black Lives Matter Web site, and the first frame you get is a large crowd with fists raised and the slogan “Now We Transform.” Read the list of demands, and you get a sense of how deep a transformation they seek. One proclaims: “We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear-family-structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another.”)

DAILY HERALD
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Ever-increasingly, discrimination in past is blamed for the problems that minorities have today. Did your parents, your grandparents, your great grandparents, or any of the rest of your ancestors discriminate against minorities? Mine did not. But nevertheless, my Democrat superiors in federal government made me pay the price of Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, and Inclusion. None of my ancestors attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My great grandparents were farmers in Grant Park and Crete. My grandparents on my father’s side operated a hardware store in Crete. My grandparents on my mother’s side operated a farm in Grant Park. My father worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights. After my father died, my mother worked in a dental office in Crete. What if AA, Diversity, and Inclusion were only for those whose parents did not have a college degree?

— May 8, 1970, the Day the White Working Class Turned Republican – Clyde Haberman (DIERSEN: What were you doing on May 8, 1970? I was on track to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in August. My Federal Service Entrance Examination score was 93. My draft lottery number was 151. I was a full-time student at NIU living in the University Plaza Dormitory ( https://www.uplaza.com/ ) in DeKalb. I drove a 1969 Dodge Charger SE. My father had died suddenly in October of 1969 and I had been advised to get a job and apply for a financial hardship draft deferment. I sent my resume to many potential employers, but potential employers a) doubted that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be granted and b) were under tremendous pressure to hire minorities, females, and veterans.)

No other politician has spent more time trying to cancel those who offend him.” Who leads the cancel culture in your neighborhood, in your precinct, in your municipal district, in your municipality, in your township, in your county, and in Illinois?

I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout.)

https://fordauthority.com/2020/06/u-s-ford-social-media-advertising-to-shut-down-for-30-days-as-boycotts-continue/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In recent days, more and more large companies are boycotting Facebook as part of a growing protest that claims the social media platform hasn’t done enough to prevent the spread of hate speech. . .A civil rights coalition that includes the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the NAACP launched the #StopHateforProfit campaign last week, calling on major corporations to put a pause on advertising on Facebook. Their reasoning is the social media giant’s “repeated failure to meaningfully address the vast proliferation of hate on its platforms.”)
