AMERICAN RENAISSANCE
— What’s Ahead for Whites – Jared Taylor (DIERSEN: I should write a book about turncoat Whites who promote hatred against Whites, and especially against Whites who are law enforcement officers, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, male, older, non-veteran, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.amren.com/videos/2021/08/whats-ahead-for-whites/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What’s ahead for white people in this country? First, there will be fewer of us. . .And we’re getting more non-whites. . .If you think this is a “great replacement,” Wikipedia says you believe in “a white nationalist conspiracy theory.” . . . Our country treats whites like a problem that must be solved. . .Every big organization has an army of people promoting “diversity.” Diversity means fewer white people, especially white men. . .You’ve heard of Critical Race Theory, which says all white people have unfair privileges and oppress everyone else whether we want to or not. That’s just our nature. . .Not one elected official talks about the interests of whites. I can’t remember when a politician even said anything good about white people. We are citizens of this country, but we might as well be stateless people who are just allowed to live here. Our government treats us like an embarrassment. The George Floyd riots were an eruption of contempt for whites. . .So, what’s ahead? More non-whites and their white “allies” will make policy. Blacks and Hispanics can’t succeed the way we do, so there will be ruthless preferences for them that will mean discrimination against us. Congress could pass new laws, but it won’t have to. Every non-white preference today is based on “civil rights” laws that were supposed to ban racial discrimination – so laws don’t matter. There could be race quotas for directors and executives of all companies. Race quotas for juries and grand juries – and these would be floors, not ceilings. Our rulers will pressure private companies to muzzle dissidents. They could tell banks not to give us mortgages. Cut off our electricity, water, telephone. If that doesn’t work, call what we say hate speech and make it a crime. If the Supreme Court tries to save the First Amendment, pack the court. Impose a “reparations” tax. Every white person making more than a certain amount would pay an additional 10 percent of gross income. There could be an even bigger “white privilege” tax on inheritances. Whites got their wealth through oppression, so they shouldn’t be able to pass it on. Make anyone buying a gun sign a diversity pledge. Impose a stiff anti-hate tax on any marriage license granted to two white people. “Progressive stacking” will become routine. That means, in a group, white people – especially white men – speak last. And when whites speak in public, they will start by confessing their white privilege and apologize for standing on land they stole. The CDC, along with 200 local jurisdictions, says racism is a “serious public health threat.” Declare white neighborhoods a public health threat and force them to integrate. We did it with school busing; we can do it with neighborhoods. I don’t know if all these things will happen; some will, for sure. But oppression will intensify at different rates in different places, so whites will gather in the least oppressive ones. You can move to one of those places. Whites will eventually elect representatives who stand up for them. You should be a part of that. The bitter truth is, we can’t save the whole country. We built it and we made it great, but it’s not ours anymore. Our goal should be local autonomy and eventual independence, so encourage all secession movements. Liberals are vicious, but if we are determined to leave, I don’t think they will kill us just to keep our corpses in the Union. Our rulers hate our history and despise us. They should be happy to see us go. So, it’s up to us to make this happen, and up to us alone. The decision is ours. If we want a place of our own on this continent, where we can be an outpost of Europe – without apologies and for ever – we have to make it happen.)

— Previous Ford Downsizing Initiative Subject Of Ongoing Lawsuit – Brett Foote (DIERSEN: When I started working for GAO’s Chicago office in 1980, virtually all of its older White male employees had accounting degrees. To justify getting rid of its older White male employees, the Democrats who ran GAO dramatically cut the work that GAO did that required accounting knowledge. Suddenly, the following became worthless in GAO’s eyes: a) my having passed the CPA on my first attempt in 1979, b) my earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, d) my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, e) my serving on the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter Executive Committee 1983-1996, and f) my becoming a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997.)
https://fordauthority.com/2021/08/previous-ford-downsizing-initiative-subject-of-ongoing-lawsuit/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ford, like many larger corporations, occasionally has to lay people off, change up its structure, or offer buyouts to accomplish either. As Ford Authority exclusively reported earlier this week, Ford Motor Company has initiated a buyout program for certain white-collar workers and teams dedicated to ICE-powered vehicles that includes six months of salary and healthcare benefits. However, a federal age discrimination lawsuit filed by eight employees alleges that the automaker targeted high-performing, older workers during the Ford downsizing process dubbed “Smart Redesign” back in 2019, according to the Detroit Free Press. According to internal Ford documents, under then-CEO Jim Hackett, the automaker hired Boston Consulting Group and tasked it with identifying employees that would present the most cost savings if their employment was terminated in the Ford downsizing effort. The lawsuit alleges that the consulting group used an algorithm that took into account the age of employees and their years of service. The latter bit is significant because employees hired prior to January 1st, 2004, were eligible for pension payments, which have, to date, cost Ford millions of dollars.)

— The Electric Vehicle Welfare State Car makers back the Biden climate agenda in return for subsidies and higher consumer prices. – Editorial (DIERSEN: Expect that ever-increasingly, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs will viciously demonize, denigrate, and condemn owners of gasoline-powered American-nameplate vehicles, and especially those who own Chevrolets, Fords, and Dodges, and especially those who own Corvettes, Cavaliers, Malibus, Thunderbirds, Mustangs, Escapes, and Chargers.)

COLORADO SUN
— Some Colorado Republicans want to forgo their party’s 2022 primaries. Others think that’s “insane.” Under the proposal, to be voted on by the Colorado Republican Party’s central committee in September, GOP general election candidates would be picked through the caucus and assembly process. – Sandra Fish and Daniel Ducassi (DIERSEN: Most commonly, moderate candidates win Republican primaries because multiple conservative candidates run splitting the conservative vote.)
https://coloradosun.com/2021/08/05/2022-republican-primary-opt-out-vote/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I think it’s time for the party to start standing on its platform and principles and to get candidates who will do the same,” said Peg Cage, former chairwoman of the Boulder County Republicans, who supports forgoing the 2022 GOP primaries. “We can’t do that if we’re constantly going left and trying to placate the unaffiliated voters and the Democrats.” . . . “Having non-members decide who will be the Republican nominee is a golden opportunity for the opposition to infiltrate and to weaken our platform of liberty, justice, personal freedom, and adherence to our constitution,” Hanks wrote.)

FORD AUTHORITY
— Ford Salaried Buyouts Confirmed For Select Employees – Brett Foote (DIERSEN: I was eligible for GAO’s 1993 buyout. Overwhelmingly, those like me who were eligible for the buyout were Republican, White, male, and/or older.)
https://fordauthority.com/2021/08/ford-salaried-buyouts-confirmed-for-select-employees/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As Ford Authority has learned from sources familiar with the buyout plan, the packages are being targeted toward workers and teams dedicated to ICE-powered vehicles. Ford said that the “action is to further enable us to match our business priorities with the critical skills needed to turn around our automotive operations.” The Ford salaried buyouts are being offered to some white-collar workers as voluntary incentives to leave the company, which will allow Ford to avoid layoffs. Severance packages such as this are often offered to older workers nearing retirement who may be keener to take such a deal.)

— FROM THE REPORT: ILGOP press release…As Governor J.B. Pritzker reinstitutes statewide COVID-19 mitigations and mandates, his re-election campaign is running ads highlighting his administration’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, taking an obviously premature victory lap. Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy issued the following statement calling on Pritzker to take his TV ads off the airwaves : “Governor Pritzker cannot have it both ways. He cannot run political TV ads that take a victory lap over his pandemic response while at the same time reinstituting COVID mandates and mitigations. The return of these mandates is a clear admission of his own failure. Pritzker should take his self-serving TV ads off the air. Whether it’s veterans who have died under his care, massive unemployment insurance fraud, or the return of mandates after our state’s full re-opening, Pritzker’s executive incompetence has been the hallmark of his pandemic response.”

https://www.bizpacreview.com/2021/08/04/lefts-lauded-1619-project-largely-ignores-at-least-one-hugely-significant-historical-fact-1113212/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It would be difficult to overstate the Democratic Party’s enduring and baleful role in slavery and racism…The Democratic southern states, such as Georgia, specifically criticized the anti-slavery policies of President Lincoln’s Republican Party in their declarations of succession in the Civil War. Even after the war, [historian Jay] Cost notes, the Democratic Party’s “central purpose in the second half of the 19th century was specifically to prevent civil rights legislation from being implemented.” In response to black Republicans being elected in Southern states during Reconstruction, it was Democrats who enacted poll taxes and literacy tests to suppress the black vote. A Democratic president, Woodrow Wilson, resegregated the federal work force in Washington and hosted a White House screening of D.W. Griffith’s egregiously racist, white supremacist “Birth of a Nation.” As late as 1952, the running mate of Democratic presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson, John Sparkman, was an open segregationist. A significantly higher percentage of congressional Republicans voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act than did congressional Democrats, and segregationists such as George Wallace were major figures in the Democratic Party until the 1970s..The absence of Democratic Party critiques is all the more conspicuous when you consider that the 1619 Project doesn’t shy away from critiquing the GOP….)

https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/how-to-defeat-the-activist-media/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A workable solution, therefore, to the problem of the activist media must necessarily be one in which postmodern theory is jettisoned in favour of a new approach. One which abandons the neo-Marxist oppressor/oppressed paradigm, and the ‘us v them’ mentality it fosters. One which rejects the denial of objective truths to which we can all hold. Truth, beauty, reason all exist, and we must not be afraid to say so.)
