How The 'Cult Of Woke' Is Being Used To Transform America

How The 'Cult Of Woke' Is Being Used To Transform America Into A Marxist Totalitarian State, Destroying Everything 'Good' Our Country Once Stood For While Crushing The American People
- 'Critical Theory' Is Really Marxism And It Dominates Education Today
By Jeffrey Folks for All News Pipeline
Twenty years ago, I interviewed a young woman for an entry-level position at the prestigious university where I taught. I had read the candidate's Ph.D. thesis, with considerable reservations, and was eager to ask about her scholarly interests. She stated that she followed the approach called "critical theory" and that her interest was limited to whatever was abnormal, perverse, and antagonistic. She despised everything that was conventional, decent, or good.
As a person who had devoted his entire life to promoting what was conventional, decent, and good, I was taken aback. Not that I was entirely surprised. Critical theory, with its antagonistic attitude toward ordinary society, had been gaining ground for decades. I myself had attended the first National Endowment seminar, at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1988, focusing on critical theory, and I did not like what I heard.
It turned out that I was the only member of the hiring committee to vote against the young candidate. Her other qualifications were sterling, and apparently the others on the hiring committee saw nothing wrong with her fascination with the perverse. As it was, the abnormal was well on its way to becoming normal, as it now is in almost every university in America and much of the West — and in high schools and elementary schools as well.
The so-called academic discipline of critical theory is the source of most of the social conflicts that are now arising — everything from transgender "rights" to slavery reparations to sanctuary cities to no-bail policing. It all derives from misguided sympathy with what appears to be marginal, outcast, and oppressed, but what actually constitutes a new class of privilege.

During a time of systematic, 'big tech' censorship and widespread institutional corruption, truth-seeking media and alternative views are crucial, and EVERY little bit helps more than you could know!)
Woke supporters are intent not just on gaining equality, which they already possess as citizens, but on forcing ordinary Americans to admit and publicly support the prioritizing of and special privileges for so-called marginalized groups. Wokeness is not about "rights" — it is about favoritism on a colossal scale. It is about transforming America into a Marxist totalitarian state based on a coalition of groups antagonistic to traditional American identity. And so, ultimately, it is about destroying America as we have known it for over 200 years.
The special consideration that these groups demand comes at the expense of ordinary citizens — those decent, hardworking, family-oriented citizens who now find themselves forced to the back of the bus. Ordinary Americans pay the higher taxes necessary to fund the privileges that marginal groups now claim; ordinary folks are expected to nod in agreement as their children are subjected to woke brainwashing; ordinary people are told they must swallow the idea that the needs of homosexuals, transgenders, transvestites, criminals, illegal aliens, environmentalist radicals, communists, atheists, and anarchists come first — in education, hiring, culture, politics, and the news. There is little space or funding left for everyday Americans, who are told that they are less important and "outdated" and even "hate-filled" just because of their noble beliefs in Christianity, self-responsibility, decency, and goodness.
Critical theory began as the dream of a small number of extremely alienated left-wing academics. It has now become orthodoxy among the intelligentsia and has infected the minds of tens of millions of otherwise decent Americans, who may not understand the full implications of the ideas they promote.
How would it be if our society were to become fully "woke"? What if only marginal groups were allowed to receive honors at school, were hired and promoted ahead of those who appear normal, were listened to and validated in their careers and communities, were elected exclusively to public office — in short, what if the woke population came to control our lives in every respect? The answer should be obvious because we are well on our way to that condition already.
It's only a few courageous leaders, like President Trump and Gov. DeSantis, who have begun to push back against the ideology of critical theory and wokeism. They understand that in America, we do not create special classes of victimhood who are to be granted special privileges and who are to be placed ahead of ordinary persons. They understand that robust policing and prosecution are necessary in order to protect everyone from criminals. They know that children should not be exposed to teaching that implicitly promotes homosexuality, transgenderism, and other behaviors that they consider deviant. They know that it is wrong to focus the resources of the State on the needs of illegal aliens and away from those of citizens.
This push-back is not about denying rights to anyone. All citizens of the U.S. are entitled to the same rights under the law — but no group or individual is entitled to special consideration, promotion, or remuneration. What we are now facing is an ideology based exclusively on granting privileges to those who are "marginalized," which is to say those who are deviant, illegal, subversive, and hostile to traditional values. This ideology is the very opposite of constitutional law, which guarantees equal treatment and protection, not special treatment.
It's not enough just to have a few in politics and the media oppose the woke ideology. What is necessary is a widespread rejection of practices and ideas that we consider wrong. Americans need to decide, once and for all, whether they want the future of our country to be in the hands of decent, hardworking citizens with traditional values or in the hands of those who, by their own admission, wish to "transform" America into a country defined by extreme and antagonistic ideologies.
All that is necessary is for ordinary Americans to regain their belief in the rightness and worth of their identity and to speak out whenever that identity is derided or dismissed. It is late in the day, but it is not too late to restore a nation with shared values of goodness, decency, and order. That is the prescription for health, prosperity, and security.

NTD Stephanie Cox Intl Reporters Roundtable Trans Tyranny The Battle For Human Nature
In this episode of International Reporters Roundtable we delve into transgenderism. On the surface it seems simple: acknowledging and accepting a marginalized group.
But where did it come from? How prevalent was it just a couple decades ago? Why is it spreading now, at such a quick pace? The advertising is everywhere, the flags on government buildings, explicit books in classrooms.
As a society, when we spend our money and cast our votes we are helping fund irreversible, sterilizing sex-changes for minors who couldn’t even legally consent to sex mere years ago. We’re seeing therapists suggesting potential suicide, custody stolen from parents, sex erased from birth certificates.
With our guests, artist turned investigative journalist Jennifer Bilek, UK-based author, photojournalist and editor Andy Ngo, and moralogy researcher and host Tetsuhide Yamaoka from Japan, we investigate how transgender ideology is being promoted nationally and internationally.
Our discussion will take a deeper look at how this movement unfolded, where it’s headed, and what we can do about it.

Mockingbird Media - PROOF

They all spew virtually verbatim what is "reported" fed to them.0Mockingbird Media – The CIA’s program to control the media is rumored to be called Operation Mockingbird, and the speculation is that if the intelligence agencies can control the “head-ends” of the information food chain (networks, wire services, “newspapers-of-record,” etc.), then most regional newspapers and radio/television stations will simply “mockingbird” what the big boys report. Most people will simply “mockingbird” what the national and regional media says.

Natalie Jean Beisner Actress longtime far-Left woke Dem Walk Away Story
When you think of Los Angeles, “hotbed of conservatism” probably isn’t the term that first comes to mind. It’s a pretty liberal city, full of liberal politicians, and liberal people. Liberal people like actors and whatnot, who as a general rule can be relied upon to vote consistently for Democrats and advocate for Democratic policies, because that’s just kinda what actors do most of the time.
But conservative actors aren’t completely unheard of, and once in a while you’ll run across one here or there. And today, you’ll run across one more. Her name is Natalie Jean Beisner. She’s an L.A.-based actress with a pretty eclectic filmography, and she’s a conservative. But that wasn’t always the case. As she’ll tell you, it took her most of her life to get to the point where she realized that she had been living a lie and that, in being a left-wing Democrat, she was denying her true potential and value as a person.

The Mass Extinction Fraud James D. Agresti President Just Facts
James D. Agresti President Just Facts
Just Facts RUMBLE https://rumble.com/c/c-464667
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2023/02/11/the-mass-extinction-fraud/
Contrary to 60 Minutes, the facts are overwhelming that earth isn’t in the midst of an “extinction crisis.”
SOURCES: On 1/1/23, 60 Minutes reported, “A World Wildlife Fund study says that in the past 50 years, the abundance of global wildlife has collapsed 69%.” https://www.cbsnews.com/news/earth-mass-extinction-60-minutes-2023-01-01/
The World Wildlife Fund study cited by 60 Minutes is based on its “Living Planet Index.”
https://wwflpr.awsassets.panda.org/downloads/lpr_2022_full_report.pdf#page=18
Scholars in academic journals have documented that the Living Planet Index (LPI) “does not measure abundance.” Yet, the World Wildlife Fund claims that it does and receives “high media coverage” that makes the “common mistake of interpreting the LPI as measuring abundance loss.”
https://leung-lab.github.io/leunglab/articles/Leung_2022_601a.pdf
https://wwflpr.awsassets.panda.org/downloads/lpr_2022_full_report.pdf#page=18
The claim that the Living Planet Index shows a “mean vertebrate decline of more than 50% since 1970” is “driven by less than 3% of vertebrate populations,” while “no global trend remained across typical populations.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2920-6
A study using the world’s largest database of long-term species abundances found, “Most populations (85%) did not show significant trends in abundance, and those that did were balanced between winners (8%) and losers (7%).” https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/ele.13242
The figure of “up to 100 times” from Barnosky’s research actually “varied from 8 to 100 times.” https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.1400253
A Cambridge University Press book on biodiversity explains that no “serious” attempt has been made to “judge the reliability” of extinction rates based on fossils because the “uncertainties at each stage of the calculation” would make the effort worthless. Thus, the book states, “Probably no one will be surprised if this estimate is off by a factor of 10 or even 100.” https://www.amazon.com/Biodiversity-Environmental-Philosophy-Introduction-Cambridge-ebook/dp/B000SHMQES
Barnosky’s research counts all “617” vertebrae species that have become extinct or “possibly extinct” since 1500. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.1400253
An academic journal documents that 95% of bird and mammal extinctions since 1500 “were on islands.” Thus, “it is useful to consider islands as a special case” because species have “smaller geographic ranges” and other differences that make them more prone to extinction than continental species. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1472-4642.2011.00856.x
Per the textbook Conservation and Ecology, “The estimates of the background extinction rate” from fossils “derive from the abundant and widespread species that dominate the fossil record. By contrast, the species most likely to become extinct today are rare and local.” https://www.amazon.com/Conservation-Ecology-Living-Earth-Rafferty/dp/1615303073
Per the textbook Vertebrate Paleontology and Evolution, “A particularly important bias of the fossil record is expressed against organisms that are rare and/or geographically restricted.” https://www.amazon.com/Vertebrate-Paleontology-Evolution-Robert-Carroll/dp/0716718227
A 2011 paper in the journal Diversity and Distributions revealed that “only six continental birds and three continental mammals were recorded in standard databases as going extinct since 1500 compared to 123 bird species and 58 mammal species on islands.” https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1472-4642.2011.00856.x
A 2015 paper in the journal Science disclosed that there were “only 15 global extinctions of marine animal species in the past 514 years” and “none in the past five decades.” https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1255641
A paper in the journal Endangered Species Research by an Australian scientist states that certain scientists overstate “the risks of wildlife becoming extinct” by using “deliberate and gross” exaggerations. The paper also states that scientists who designate species as “endangered” are “often beneficiaries” of funding that flows as a result of these designations. Thus, “the potential for self-serving assessments has long been recognized.” http://www.int-res.com/articles/esr2008/6/n006p161.pdf
The scientists who authored the paper in the journal Diversity and Distributions state, “Our results do not support statements or projections by others of grossly elevated extinction rates for continental bird and mammal fauna over the last 500 years compared with background rates.” https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1472-4642.2011.00856.x
In 1977, President Jimmy Carter tasked the EPA, State Department, National Science Foundation, and several other federal agencies to produce a “study of the probable changes” to the “world’s population, natural resources, and environment” up through the year 2000. This turned into a herculean effort, involving hundreds of people, including “informal advisors” to the study representing the world’s leading environmental institutions. https://www.justfacts.com/document/global_2000_report_president_carter_1979.pdf#page=4
In 1979, the dream team of scientists released The Global 2000 Report to the President of the U.S., which stated that “at least 500,000–600,000” species “will be extinguished during the next two decades” under “continued technological progress” and “no departures from present public policy.” https://www.justfacts.com/document/global_2000_report_president_carter_1979.pdf#page=357
In 2004, the International Union for Conservation of Nature reported, “At least 27 species are recorded as having become Extinct or Extinct in the Wild during the last 20 years (1984–2004). … For example, eight species of birds are thought to have become Extinct or Extinct in the Wild over the past 20 years, but they are not included, as further research is needed prove the last individual has died.” https://portals.iucn.org/library/sites/library/files/documents/RL-2004-001.pdf
The Global 2000 Report to the President of the U.S. states, “How many extinctions are implied by the Global 2000 Study’s forestry projections? An estimate was prepared for the Global 2000 Study by Thomas E. Lovejoy of the World Wildlife Fund.” https://www.justfacts.com/document/global_2000_report_president_carter_1979.pdf#page=353

Neil Oliver Nothing less than our way of life is now under threat
'A population distracted by propaganda about one existential threat after another – pandemics, nuclear war, climate crisis – is being herded into an unrecognisable future.'
Connor Davidson
PUBLISHED Saturday 21 January 2023 - 20:33 LAST UPDATED Saturday 21 January 2023 - 20:38
Nothing less than our way of life is under threat now. A population distracted by propaganda about one existential threat after another – pandemics, nuclear war, climate crisis – is being herded into an unrecognisable future.
What was done in the name of Covid was grotesque - a violation of the rights of billions of people. Having seen what they can get away with, our so-called leaders have moved on, broadening their scope, as greedy for more as kids left unsupervised in a sweetie shop.
What is happening now, all around us, is the relentless erosion not just of our rights and liberties, but of our lives. It is so blatant - what’s happening - it’s hard to see it for what it is, which is bare-faced daylight robbery.
After Covid, the C-word that’s supposed to be on everyone’s lips … drummed into us night and day by the same complicit media that drives everything else … is climate – Climate crisis, in fact. Two c-words for the price of one.
From all sides, we are bombarded with predictions of the end of the world. Predictions, remember? Computer modelling … the crystal-ball-gazing of the scientific world.
If you believe the predictions and “the science” … by which I mean the pronouncements of scientists and global corporations … the same corporations champing at the bit for all the government grants and contracts to get all tooled up for making expensive wind turbines, solar panels, liquid hydrogen processing plants … and all those batteries … gazillions of batteries filled with the Earth’s rarest metals and minerals.
The important word to notice there is rare, in that, if they’re rare now what’s it going to be like in 20 years time when all the existing stuff needs replaced and multiplied in number by a factor of 10 or 100, or a thousand?
if you believe that science, unquestioningly, if you can’t or won’t see vested interests at work, it may already be too late for you.

We are to sacrifice everything on the promise of jam tomorrow. Pain for a decade until the as-yet non-existent technology is invented and fills all the yawning gaps … try selling that business pitch on Dragon’s Den. “I don’t know what I’m going to invent, but if you all give me your money, your way of life and your children’s futures, this time next decade we’ll all be farting through silk.”
They get away with it, because of the message relentlessly pumped out. The message pumped out morning, noon and night that we filthy, mostly white creatures of the West have, with our greedy consumption of fossil fuels since the industrial revolution, all but set the world on fire.
If we don’t stop now … or preferably yesterday, they squeal … the blue planet will shortly be a blackened lump of charcoal leaving only a smoking trail as it hurtles lifeless through the universe.
By now, generations of people in the West have been raised to accept this grim premonition as holy writ.
Children are crying themselves to sleep at night on account of their certainty that the planet won’t continue to exist long enough for them to grow up.
This ingrained, endemic terror is the breeding ground for the insanity of Net Zero … and the suicide note for millions that is Agenda 2030.
Generations alive today have been raised to believe that the planet and entire populations YET TO BE are far, far more important than THEY are now. Those alive today are of no concern whatever when compared to the well-being o fantasy people of the future, who will inhabit a Utopia made possible by the impoverishment and immiseration of all of us here right now.
Collectively we are the first pancake – the throw-away.
When I say we are being robbed of our way of life, I could as justifiably say our children are being raised to accept that their being alive AT ALL is the biggest part of the problem. What the planet wants most of all, we are told, is to be rid of most of us, like too many flies in summer.
All around the world, birth rates are dropping as fast as a piano falling out of a window.
The living populations of many nations are not producing enough people to replace them after they die. If nothing is done to slow this run-away train … to drive the birth of many, many more babies every year … entire nations face inevitable extinction.
Worse than our way of life being under threat, life itself is being sacrificed to ensure the future of planet Earth.
The message fed to our children is Satanically dark – that they are nothing more than blight upon the world … meat-eating, resource-consuming, fossil-fuel-dependent parasites.
Once you contemplate the consequences of those poisonous seeds, the motivations behind anti-human notions like Agenda 2030 and Net Zero become obvious.
