AUDIO POST WITH WRITTEN TRANSCRIPT: THE HATE CHRONICLES. THE KEYS TO UNDERSTANDING THE MINDSET, MOTIVATIONS, AND GOALS OF THE FAR RIGHT FANATIC. UPDATE.

 

                                                                

THE U.S. AS A WHOLE, IS NOT A RACIST COUNTRY, JUST CERTAIN SEGMENTS: RACISM, XENOPHOBIA, HOMOPHOBIA  AND OTHER DOCTRINES OF HATE ARE THE GAMEPLAN OF THE RUSS-PUBLICAN PARTY TO REGAIN AND RETAIN THE MAJORITY SHARE OF POLITICAL POWER IN THE U.S.  SINCE THIS STRATEGY, AND THE ACTIVE SUPPORT OF THE PUTIN GOVERNMENT WORKED IN 2016, (ALONG WITH DEMOCRATIC APATHY), IT IS TIME TO RETURN TO THESE "GLORY DAYS." AFTER ALL, WHY COULD NOT THE GOP MAKE A HABIT OF STEALING EVERY PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, IT WAS SO EASY IN 2016. THIS DOES NOT EVEN ADDRESS THE LUDICROUS RESULTS FROM THE U.S. SENATE RACES THAT SAME YEAR.

TRUMP AND THE SEDITIONISTS IN THE GOP THOUGHT THAT 2020 WAS GOING TO BE REPLAY OF A 2016. HOWEVER, LUCKILY THE MAJORITY OF VOTERS SPOKE LOUD AND CLEAR, AND WHEN THE NUMBER OF STATES REPORTING BOGUS RETURNS IN FAVOR OF TRUMP WERE REDUCED,(BUT NOT ELIMINATED), THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NO LONGER HAD TO BE ASHAMED OF THE OVAL OFFICE. THAT IS WHEN THE TRUMPS, JORDANS, CRUZES, GREENES etc. OF THIS WORLD THREW A DESPOTIC TEMPER TANTRUM. HOW COULD DER FUEHRER DONALD BE DENIED? HONEST ELECTIONS ARE NOT FOR THEM, FOR THEY COULD NOT CONTROL THE OUTCOME.

IF THE MINORITY PARTY IN POWER IS WILLING TO GO TO THE LENGTHS THAT THE GOP HAS IN  ACHIEVING ITS GOAL OF TURNING THE U.S. INTO A FASCIST STRONGHOLD, IT POINTS TO A REALITY THAT IS OFTEN OVERLOOKED; THAT SOMETIMES THOSE SCREAMING THE LOUDEST ARE TRYING TO DROWN OUT THE TRUTH.

It is a mistake for Progressives to think that those who make up the Most Conservative Elements of the "NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY" ARE ALL CUT FROM THE SAME CLOTH. WHILE THEY MAY VOTE AS A BLOC,THE PRIMARY MOTIVATION DIFFERS FROM GROUP TO GROUP.

While They are usually Packaged Together, ULTRA CONSERVATIVE POLITICIANS HAVE REALIZED THAT FINDING THE ONE KEY ISSUE THAT DRIVES CERTAIN GROUPS OF VOTERS TO THE POLLS, OFTEN WILL TURN THEM INTO LOYAL ALLIES, who will support an agenda full of Issues They may care little about.

It could be GUN CONTROL, SAME- SEX MARRIAGE, GOVERNMENT SPENDING, SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE, IMMIGRATION LAWS, REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE etc. THE STRATEGY IS TO PUT FORTH AN UNCOMPROMISING, RIGID, AND VITRIOLIC POINT OF VIEW ON A PARTICULAR ISSUE, APPEALING TO THE BASER ELEMENTS OF HUMAN NATURE.

THE REASON: TO LEARN OF THE ONE ISSUE THAT EACH SECTION OF INDIVIDUAL VOTERS MOST IDENTIFIES WITH, AND MANIPULATE IT TO THEIR ADVANTAGE.

IT'S A TACTIC THAT REQUIRES NO INTELLECTUAL EFFORT ON THE PART OF THE LISTENER. THERE IS NO NEED TO UNDERSTAND, OR EVEN CARE ABOUT THE OPPOSITIONS POINT OF VIEW. IT PLAYS ON RAW EMOTION, WITHOUT THE NEED FOR CONTEMPLATION OR REFLECTION.

THE INDIVIDUAL IS ENCOURAGED NOT TO THINK ABOUT AN INTELLECTUAL JUSTIFICATION FOR THE OPINION THEY ARE SUPPORTING, BUT TO REACT TO THE WORDS OF THE AUTHOR AND\OR SPEAKER, AND ACCEPTING THE MESSAGE AS TRUE, AND WORTHY OF SUPPORT.  THIS, IN TURN, ENCOURAGES AGREEMENT WITH OTHER OPINIONS THAT ARE EXPRESSED

THE SAME WAY.

House votes to hold Steve Bannon in criminal contempt for defying Capitol attack subpoena

The House passed a resolution on Thursday that found Steve Bannon, advisor to former president Donald Trump, in contempt of Congress, and asked the Department of Justice to proceed with criminal prosecution over his refusal to cooperate with an investigation into the January 6 insurrection on the US Capitol. The vote passed 229 to 202, with nine Republicans supporting the resolution, and will now pass to the US Attorney General for further consideration, the AP and Reuters report. The vote comes after Trump filed a lawsuit on Monday to block the House committee from accessing records related to the attack.

Yes, I support Wikipedia. but...

I want to make one thing clear: While I, and many others, use Wikipedia as a research source, it should never be used as a one stop site for all information. It is vulnerable to Political and Social misinformation, (especially the last few years, with TRUMPIANS trying to dumb down the content.)

It is a valuable tool, and the vast majority of the information provided seems to be a genuine desire to find factual data that can withstand proper scrutiny. However, rogue editors with a specific agenda get through often enough to make it less than 100% accurate. So be careful.

Dear david,

I'm so grateful to be the one who thanks you for the gift of....in support of Wikipedia. I want to take this opportunity to celebrate your generosity and your exceptional willingness to take part in creating a better future for the world.

I founded Wikipedia 20 years ago. Since then, our beloved encyclopedia has grown a lot, through good times and hardships, and today, more than ever, it is serving its true purpose. It helps millions of people study, discover, explore, and research.

Each day, Wikipedia gives readers a new chance to acquire the knowledge that is so rightfully theirs, no matter what their circumstances might be.

You’re the one who makes this possible. Your support allows edits to be made, and articles to reach new readers; it gives our non-profit the means to stay true to its mission, even as Wikipedia has become one of the most visited websites in the world.

We might not get a chance to blow out the candles in person together, but as we celebrate 20 years of Wikipedia throughout the year, know that you are in the heart of everyone here at the Wikimedia Foundation.

Thank you for everything,
Jimmy Wales
Wikipedia Founder
