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.)

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.”)

For me, it includes their failure/refusal to state that if elected, they will defend and advance the Republican Party platform, including its individual responsibility, traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks, that is, that they will do nothing that promotes dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, or age discrimination. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform.)

BLACK LIVES MATTER
— What We Believe
https://blacklivesmatter.com/what-we-believe/
(FROM THE POSTING: We are unapologetically Black in our positioning. In affirming that Black Lives Matter, we need not qualify our position. To love and desire freedom and justice for ourselves is a prerequisite for wanting the same for others. We see ourselves as part of the global Black family, and we are aware of the different ways we are impacted or privileged as Black people who exist in different parts of the world. We are guided by the fact that all Black lives matter, regardless of actual or perceived sexual identity, gender identity, gender expression, economic status, ability, disability, religious beliefs or disbeliefs, immigration status, or location. We make space for transgender brothers and sisters to participate and lead. We are self-reflexive and do the work required to dismantle cisgender privilege and uplift Black trans folk, especially Black trans women who continue to be disproportionately impacted by trans-antagonistic violence. We build a space that affirms Black women and is free from sexism, misogyny, and environments in which men are centered. We practice empathy. We engage comrades with the intent to learn about and connect with their contexts. We make our spaces family-friendly and enable parents to fully participate with their children. We dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work “double shifts” so that they can mother in private even as they participate in public justice work. We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable. We foster a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise).)

— Unsanctioned Pride parade draws thousands in Chicago – Madison Dibble
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/unsanctioned-pride-parade-draws-thousands-in-chicago
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thousands of LGBT activists are gathering at an unsanctioned Pride parade in Chicago. The city’s parade was canceled because of fears of the spread of the coronavirus, but activists gathered on Sunday anyway at the “Reclaim Pride March,” which partnered the causes of Pride and the Black Lives Matter movement. Alexis Abarca, an activist who attended the march, told ABC 7 that the two movements are both advocating for an end to police brutality and racial injustice. “Every year we continue to say, yeah let’s go out to Pride, let’s go out to celebrate, but all the time we forget to highlight the fact that Black trans women are still out there and we still need justice and still need a lot of resources,” Abarca said. Aerial footage from the event showed thousands of attendees at the march. Many on Twitter expressed concern about the potential for the coronavirus to spread between marchers in Chicago, though many of the activists appeared to be wearing masks. Illinois has not fully reopened yet. Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker said the state may wait until a vaccine is present to allow gatherings of more than 50 people in places such as churches and theaters.)

FREEDOM’S JOURNAL
— WHITE WOKENESS – Charles Love (DIERSEN: Many, if not most, if not virtually all of my past and present critics/opponents in Wheaton, Milton Township, and DuPage County have had little or no contact with Blacks. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years (for the Post Office in Park Forest 1966-1969, for IRS in Harvey, Joliet, and Chicago 1971-1980, and for GAO in Chicago 1980-1997), many of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were Black. Since 1976, every American president has designated February as Black History Month and endorsed a specific theme. I participated in Black History Month activities at IRS 1976-1979 and at GAO 1980-1997. I worked for the S.S. Kresges in downtown Chicago Heights 1964-1966 and for the Firestone Store in Gary, Indiana in 1970 and in downtown Chicago Heights 1970-1972. I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972 and I lived in it full-time 1972-1974, weekends 1974-1976, and then I rented it out 1976-1984. My bother continues to live in Crete.)
https://freedomsjournalinstitute.org/latest-news/opinion/white-wokeness/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most whites don’t have many black friends who can give them firsthand accounts of what their experiences are with racism. While most blacks do experience some discrimination or racial prejudice, it is rarely violent, and it does not hold them back in a significant sense. Is racism a “systemic” or “institutional” force? For more than half a century, the United States has had no laws preventing black people from doing anything that white people can do, and government agencies and courts closely monitor socioeconomic life for any vestiges of discrimination in housing, employment, or public accommodations. The media give a distorted view of black life.)

My RINO superiors in the Republican Party continue to refuse to forgive me for a) my not glorifying and praising them, b) my not pandering to them, c) my not serving as one of their personal operatives or personal dupes, d) my not giving them money, e) my sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails, and f) my refusing to dump the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. The defendants in the lawsuits that I have filed continue to do everything that they can to destroy me.)
https://townhall.com/columnists/terrypaulson/2020/06/29/the-gift-of-forgivenessamerica-as-a-work-in-progress-n2571406
(FROM THE ARTICLE: America, as successful as it has been in creating a country where people risk their fortunes and their lives trying to enter, has remained a work in progress. Its past leaders, often imperfect by today’s standards, stretched the fabric of our rich mosaic in every age to help live up to the values we first just dreamed of embracing. We aren’t what we will be, but we can be proud of how far we have come in our journey. Can we ever get beyond the racial sins of our past and present? I take heart in the Biblical story in Genesis about Joseph, the son of Jacob. Like many who were forced into slavery in America’s early history, Joseph was sold into slavery by his jealous older brothers. In spite of a tragic series of events, Joseph never lost his strong belief in the God of Jacob.)

My first job after I graduated from NIU in 1970 when I was 21 years old with a bachelor’s degree in management was the “Retail Sales Manager” for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights. I wanted a career in the automotive industry, but the job was not a good fit because a) it required me to use little of what I had learned in college, b) advancement opportunities looked bad, and c) the store manager disapproved of my demographics: draft avoider, former federal employee (Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969), college graduate, conservative, Republican, German American, Protestant, and someone whose ancestors had been in America longer than his ancestors. He would not have hired me. The Firestone Store district office hired me and granted my request to work in its Chicago Heights store. He refused to let me start until I passed a “probationary period” working for the Firestone Store in Gary, Indiana. In early 1971, he rudely, if not violently, fired me when I gave him my 2-week notice after I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile.)

To justify forcing me to take a $20,157 (21%) pay cut to transfer, my Democrat GAO superiors dismissed/belittled the almost 9 years of experience that I had gained working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently, $85,084-$96,431/year. Further, they dismissed/belittled the fact that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and I had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970. They would not have forced me to take a pay cut to transfer if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. Further, they did not assign me to audits of IRS until 1986, promote me to GS-13 until 1986, and they never promoted me to GS-14 even though I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, I had passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, I had became a licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, Forensic Accountant in 1997, and I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. They would have promoted me to GS-14, if not to GS-15, if not to Senior Executive Service if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/prestoncooper2/2020/06/29/new-executive-order-fights-credential-inflation-in-the-federal-civil-service/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Friday, President Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to fill job vacancies based on merit, rather than require a minimum level of education for candidates seeking open positions. The order rightly recognizes that a job candidate with several years of relevant experience may be just as qualified, if not more so, than one who has collected a stack of advanced degrees. “Employers adopting skills- and competency-based hiring recognize that an overreliance on college degrees excludes capable candidates and undermines labor-market efficiencies,” the order reads. “Currently, for most Federal jobs, traditional education — high school, college, or graduate-level — rather than experiential learning is either an absolute requirement or the only path to consideration for candidates without many years of experience.” The order still allows federal agencies to prescribe minimum educational requirements for job candidates if the degree is legally required by the state or local government where the federal employee will be working. Additionally, they may consider a candidate’s education if the degree “directly reflects the competencies necessary” to do the job. In other cases, agencies must fill job openings based on the “specific skills and competencies” that the positions require. An agency seeking a computer programmer will not be allowed to turn away a candidate with several years of relevant programming experience simply because he hasn’t had the time or money to go back to school for a master’s degree. Instead, federal agencies will develop assessment practices to determine a candidate’s skills and qualifications for the job. These may take the form of formal skills tests or some other means of assessment, but cannot rely only on job candidates’ self-evaluations of their skills. Changes to job classification and qualification standards will take effect within 180 days.)

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/facebook-just-lost-one-of-the-biggest-advertisers-in-the-world-for-the-rest-of-2020/ar-BB160DXf
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Facebook has been the subject of criticism for its decision not to take action on statements from President Donald Trump that warned that looters during protests would be shot. While the platform has in recent years taken numerous steps to crack down on hate speech, civil rights groups remain critical of the social platform’s role in the rise of extremism along with the latitude it gives to the president. Facebook spokesperson Andy Stone said the company invests billions of dollars a year to keep its platform safe. “We’ve opened ourselves up to a civil rights audit, and we have banned 250 white supremacist organizations from Facebook and Instagram,” Stone said in an email. Stone also stressed a recent European Union report that said Facebook identified 90 percent of hate speech before it was reported and acts faster that Twitter or YouTube. The Facebook protest was mobilized by the NAACP, the Anti-Defamation League and other groups such as Color of Change and Sleeping Giants, a group that targets advertisers that support certain right-wing content, among others.)
