The Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits the United States and its states from denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States on the basis of sex, in effect recognizing the right of women to a vote. The amendment was the culmination of a decades-long movement for women’s suffrage in the United States, at both the state and national levels, and was part of the worldwide movement towards women’s suffrage and part of the wider women’s rights movement. The first women’s suffrage amendment was introduced in Congress in 1878. However, a suffrage amendment did not pass the House of Representatives until May 21, 1919, which was quickly followed by the Senate, on June 4, 1919. It was then submitted to the states for ratification, achieving the requisite 36 ratifications to secure adoption, and thereby go into effect, on August 18, 1920. The Nineteenth Amendment’s adoption was certified on August 26, 1920.
The Marxist Foundation Of Critical Race Theory & Why It’s Such A Threat – Spencer Fernando
Today The Marxist Democrats are using the 19th Amendment against us to try and get illegals the right to vote for (them) Democratic Marxism or Communism. To challenge power structures as well as culture. They use a tremendous number of nonsense academic-speak words in what they’re saying because it’s not really academics, it’s a cult.
Really, though, the goal was to find something, anything, to drive a wedge between the American people. And, after trying and failing, the Frankfurt School found that wedge. Race. I got pulled over the other day for just trying to keep up with traffic. The state patrolman said the road was clear. “Yes, officer, that’s how far behind I am.”
Race has been the single most divisive topic in the United States, and the Academy is doing everything possible to pour pee in the PEZ® bowl of America. Why? The Soviets, who the Leftists that make up the Academy love, went bankrupt. Next? The Chinese embraced state-run capitalism combined with a Chinese nationalism that makes true Leftists cringe. What to do? Ahhh, yes, create enough racial tension to pull everything down.
Here, at last, they can finally create true equality!
Critical Race Theory is one of the latest salvos intended to completely reconfigure the United States, if not the world. Note that it’s just “Critical Theory” with Race tucked smartly in the middle. It is nothing more than the early versions of this Marxist attack on Western Civilization in general, and the United States in particular, but using their most effective wedge: race.
I’d say (if I were to guess) the best race relations ever seen in the history of the world were somewhere between 1990 and 2008 in the United States. Barack Obama wasn’t elected as a racial wedge, but that’s exactly how he played his cards. He had the unique opportunity to heal, but instead chose to rip the Band-Aid® off and then rub Madonna’s underwear on the healing wound.
Or more time with an iron.
Every place (and I mean every place) that I’ve worked where things went well, there wasn’t a sense of entitlement. People worked hard, heck, sometimes competed to work harder. It wasn’t about the money, it was about doing good work. But one person can show up in a workplace and destroy that cohesion.
All they have to do is convince a few people that they’re being taken advantage of. That people in another company have it better. That they have a new enemy, the Man. That’s what Critical Theory, and in this case, Critical Race Theory is all about. Creating division.
It’s cloaked, like every Leftist lie is. Leftists who write, teach, and indoctrinate using this nonsense are exactly the type of people who use phrases like, “My truth.” They say that they’re doing nothing more than “telling the truth” which explains why they don’t want lessons or homework discussed with parents.
My scars are a sign of the Grace in my life.
It’s about creating division.
What do you think reparations are? A fight for division. Understand, if reparations were set at $30,000 or $300,000 or $3,000,000 per person, the answer would be, “It’s not enough.”
It will never be enough because the goal isn’t goodwill toward men, it is division.
I guess women who vote for the Right are okay. I always liked Republic-hens. (not my meme)
In my generation, the indoctrination was all some version of, “hey, we can all get along,” and if the goal was to get along they had gone very far. But that was never the goal. Division is first.
Then, destruction. Followed by? Suppression that would make Stalin jealous. Then, they think, Power.
The Leftists must think they have won. Critical Race Theory is the equivalent of surrounding the embassy in Saigon. If we don’t push back, who will be left to educate?
And if we don’t push back, will there be room on that last chopper out?
Xi Van Fleet: American Cultural Revolution Is a Replay of the Chinese Cultural Revolution
Critical Race Theory (Communism) is Taking Root in America.
About 350 concerned residents crowded into a church in Georgetown, Delaware, on Thursday evening to hear from a panel of experts about critical race theory—one of whom likened its spread throughout American culture to Mao Zedong’s communist Cultural Revolution in China.
“Today, communism is taking root in America,” speaker Xi Van Fleet said.
Critical race theory has become a flashpoint as parents discover that their children’s teachers are indoctrinating them with the divisive and racist ideology at the behest of teachers unions.
“The goal of critical race theory was making the issue of race and ethnicity the primary driver for public policy and social change,” Jonathan Butcher, an education fellow at The Heritage Foundation, said at the event in Delaware. “The essence of the idea is that everything must be considered in terms of race.”
The panel discussion at Crossroad Community Church, “Understanding Critical Race Theory,” was hosted by Heritage Action for America, the grassroots partner organization of The Heritage Foundation. (The Daily Signal is Heritage’s multimedia news organization.)
Heritage defines critical race theory as a philosophy that “makes race the prism through which its proponents analyze all aspects of American life, categorizing individuals into groups of oppressors and victims.”
In addition to the on-site audience, hundreds of others watched online. The discussion (captured in the video above) began with Butcher’s explanation of the Marxist origins of critical race theory in the 1930s. Butcher said critical theory—the precursor to critical race theory—was born in the Frankfurt School of social theory and critical philosophy in Germany in 1937.
From there, the theory evolved and expanded until it was brought from Germany to America, where the Marxist underpinnings of critical theory were forced to adapt. The idea of class-based struggle was replaced by race-based struggle in the 1980s. Thus, critical race theory was born.
Van Fleet, a mother and Chinese immigrant who grew up in Mao’s communist China during its Cultural Revolution, discussed her experiences suffering through a communist revolution.
She pointed to warning signs now appearing in America.
“What we’re experiencing today is the American version of the Chinese communist revolution,” said Van Fleet, adding, “Today, communism is taking root in America.”
She drew comparisons between her youth in an increasingly communist China and the modern push in the U.S. for critical race theory in academia, Hollywood, government, and the military.
Van Fleet cited the parallels of Mao’s use of class-conflict theory, an offshoot of critical theory, to divide people into oppressors and the oppressed.
She drew applause when she asserted this truth about communism: “What the state can give you for free, they can also take back.”
But the speaker who drew the most visceral reaction from the audience was Shawntel Cooper, a black mother from Loudoun County, Virginia. Cooper is a member of Fight for Schools, an organization dedicated to exposing bad actors in the Loudoun school system, which is just outside the nation’s capital, and to mobilizing parents to improve education for their children.
Cooper came to the public’s attention in May by attacking critical race theory at a Loudoun County School Board meeting. The video of her remarks went viral.
Cooper described her experiences growing up to show how critical race theory is a racist and evil ideology. She was raised by a single mother who encouraged her never to be a victim. The Section 8 housing project where she grew up had an array of racial and ethnic groups, and she made friends and played with them, without regard to their color.
Cooper said she took all that to heart.
“Because of my past, I didn’t become a victim. I prayed all the time. I wasn’t perfect, but God never left me … through my faith I had strength, and my strength allowed me to become a victor, not a victim,” Cooper said.
She also described the extent of the indoctrination occurring in the Loudoun County school district.
“Teachers were trained on critical race theory. One of the direct quotes from the training materials said, ‘Teachers have a special role to teach academics; inculcate morals. The teacher is the second mother. The parent’s role is to socialize children and respect teachers’ authority,’” Cooper said, eliciting gasps from the audience.
The panel concluded with a brief question-and-answer session, during which panelists offered advice and help on a wide range of issues related to critical race theory and how to spot signs of it in schools.

In an attempt to lay out the Biden administration’s approach to charting the course of the U.S.-China economic relationship, U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai underscored that the bilateral relationship is “complex and competitive.”
More importantly, Tai noted, “In recent years, Beijing has doubled down on its state-centered economic system. It is increasingly clear that China’s plans do not include meaningful reforms to address the concerns that have been shared by the United States and many other countries.”
Indeed, that’s the core of the problem in moving forward the “complex and competitive” U.S.-China economic relationship.
To be fair, China’s economic development has been notable since it opened more to the world in the late 1970s and allowed for a more capitalist economic model to succeed.
Entry into the World Trade Organization in 2001 further opened China’s market to foreign trade and investment, enabling China to lift millions more out of abject poverty and giving a greater number of Chinese citizens access to a better quality of life and leisure.
Beijing has long taken credit for China’s economic success and wishes to keep it that way.
However, the Chinese Communist Party has never abandoned its socialist ideology and authoritarian approach. Chinese President Xi Jinping has successfully injected the party’s new paradox between craving greater control that puts the party above all and the pursuit of much-needed positive economic outcomes, which has been increasingly challenging.
China has often paid lip service to reforming its bloated, inefficient state-owned enterprises and command economic structure. Unfortunately, recently announced reforms rarely pan out, with pro-market reforms slowed and even derailed in some sectors.
About 15 years ago, the one-party government in Beijing began redefining state-owned enterprise “reform,” using the phrase to refer to centralizing state control over key industries, the opposite of what it means in the rest of the world.
The Chinese Communist Party’s third plenum in 2013 outlined how the state would reduce control of commercial state-owned enterprises, while pushing them in key industries that contribute the most to China’s economic development and national security to focus on “core” areas of their businesses.
In practice, that has meant ever-increasing deference by state-owned enterprises to party officials’ top-down control of their activities.
Pursuing and maintaining high rates of economic growth is not, of course, the primary goal of any communist dictatorship. The real objective is always the party’s retention of full control of the country’s people, usually by any means necessary. The party does seem to understand that spurring continued economic growth is a key factor in maintaining popular support.
That makes its continued affinity for relying on its “state-centered economic system” particularly misguided and eventually unsustainable. It’s bad for China in the end, but it certainly causes distortions in markets beyond China’s borders as well.
China has not fared well in The Heritage Foundation’s annual Index of Economic Freedom, which measures economic governance in key areas related to economic growth and prosperity.
China’s economic freedom has grown over the past few decades, but at a snail’s pace. The Chinese economy remains “mostly unfree” and stands as the 107th-freest (out of 179) in the 2021 index, lagging behind the majority of other countries in maximizing opportunities for greater economic dynamism.
In a recent Wall Street Journal commentary, New Zealand’s former trade minister and ambassador to the U.S., Tim Groser, offered some timely observations by highlighting:
We don’t yet know where the new policy script that the Chinese Communist Party is now writing will lead the world’s second-largest economy. … Things have been moving backward lately, in the direction of greater centralization and state control.
Unambiguously, that “greater centralization and state control”—which suffocates the intellectual, social, and economic strength of the Chinese people—is at the core of all the issues that Washington must deal with in shaping its course toward the communist regime.

This isn’t loosh. This is an electro-atom… Why wouldn’t they be tuned as such?
I know music and this chart doesn’t say anything. It looks like a picture from the Quadrivium with pretty colors.
The American Prophet was not a Freemason. He did make mention
of the order though in his voluminous work. The paperback book Edgar Cayce Freemason on Prophecy, published in 1967 by Carter, is a short compilation on the probable realities available to Cayce through the Akashic records, we are informed.
