The Big Snitch Is Here—America Goes Stasi

Original Article

Many, particularly those on the right, worry the United States is turning into China, but we are a Western nation coming out of a (mostly) Western tradition. I believe we should be as much concerned, if not more, that we are beginning to resemble East Germany with its State Security Service (Staatssicherheitsdienst), better known as the Stasi.(Snip)I was reminded of this Zersetzung and its psychological destruction of dissidents—soon we may all be classified that way, if not already—by a photo I received this morning from a (necessarily anonymous) friend who works at the Los Angeles Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, among the most prestigious hospitals in the country.

This business of accusing people of "bias" is not new. I can share this information because it is public record as I filed a complaint with the EEOC, no matter how useless they are. But at least in doing so, I had a chance to view my personnel file. I accepted a position as a nurse at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation back in late 2000. One of my co-workers--a transgendered, lesbian, ex-nun, ex-Catholic accosted me in her office and tossed her dissertation in front of me. A cursory inspection of this book revealed to me that it was essentially contrary to Catholic teaching. (I am a faithful Catholic, by the way.) I declined to read it and told her that I wasn't a feminist. She also accosted me one morning and was able to discern that I was not an abortion supporter. From that point forward, I was regularly harassed by the unit manager. I was accused of "religious bias." I was forced to stand in front of a mirror and look at myself. I was told that my "knitted eyebrows" made me look "confused" and "judgmental." I was accused of "religious bias." I was informed that I was "dissociating," in other words, accused of being mentally ill. This manager specifically said that my position on abortion would render me "ineffective working in this facility." It became a hostile working environment. Because of what was happening, I became sensitized to the term "religious bias." And one afternoon, while I was charting, I found out that this unit manager had taken one of our patients behind closed doors and was "counseling" her on "religious bias." I actually saw it entered on the patient's chart. Counseling people on "religious bias," in my humble opinion, is illegal. This is an example of how arrogant the Left has become. They will besmirch, belittle, harass, and intimidate people until they wear them down and destroy them. These are Stasi tactics. I published an article on this matter in the Journal of Christian Nursing in early 2002.

Hey Roger, you're a regular read but check out Canada (for me previously known as the old country) in Ontario and British Columbia the RCMP (red jackets) can stop you on the street and demand to know why you are so far away from home.

For 30 years people were afraid to speak their minds on pretty much any subject, especially at work. You never criticized anyone black or gay, even for the most legitimate of reasons. Trying to discipline one was a nightmare and usually not worth the effort. Lately though, it has been refreshingly different. I'm finding out an awful lot of people feel as I do about things, and have heard more "N words" in a day than I used to hear in a year. Maybe there is hope for us yet.

Well, I guess the Stasi will be having me on one of their lists, then. I have a lot of implicit bias against "protected minorities" because as an American Christian I happen to believe that we are all created equal and should all be treated equally under the law and the rules of society. No one should be given special protections and treatment because of their race, gender, sexual preferences, or anything else. Isn't that exactly what our laws say? Of course, because the left is so full of cognitive dissonance (and other stuff) they do not seem to realize the complete dishonesty and hypocrisy of their support for "protected minorities." While feeling themselves to be morally and intellectually our superiors, they are the dumbest and least self-aware people on the planet.

Tucker Carlson is saving journalism 4 replies
Posted by earlybird 4/24/2021 9:38:16 PM Post Reply
I should not have to write this, but journalists should accept criticism. Largely they don't. And lately they are upset because Tucker Carlson is taking them to task on his nightly Fox show. Speaking from personal experience, your critics do you a valuable service. His criticism is golden because Carlson grew up in journalism. He told Outkick, "When I was a kid, my dad worked in print in the newspaper and then in television. He had a sound guy, a cameraman, a producer. They’d come over to our house a lot. And I remember thinking, “These are truly open-minded, courageous guys.” They took no bullshit from anybody. They were also skeptical.

Black-owned businesses surrounding the area where George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis last year say they are in desperate need of help from police. Black merchants operating on the corner of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue, known as George Floyd Square, are struggling to stay open due to rampant crime and say police have blocked off the intersection, creating a dangerous autonomous zone, according to the New York Post. “The city left me in danger,” the owner of Smoke in the Pit said Thursday, two days after Derek Chauvin was convicted of murder for Floyd’s death. “They locked us up on here and left us behind.”

Interesting notation from Politico regarding the move of Rod Rosenstein’s sister, Nancy Messonnier, out of the CDC executive management coordinating the COVID-19 response. Messonnier made a big splash in February 2020 when she proclaimed COVID was a looming catastrophe about to overwhelm the nation. WASHINGTON DC – CDC respiratory disease chief Nancy Messonnier has been reassigned from her position heading the agency’s Covid-19 vaccine task force, according to three people familiar with the move. Messonnier is being absorbed into an incident management response team headed by CDC Director Rochelle Walensky. But the situation remains fluid as CDC restructures teams under Walensky’s leadership.

When Joe Biden was 21, liberalism peaked on Nov. 3, 1964, as Lyndon Baines Johnson won over 61 percent of the popular vote and 486 of the 535 electoral votes.(Snip) Of the nine presidential elections from 1932 to 1964, Lyndon’s landslide was the seventh Democratic victory.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The superintendent of the Florida school district where 17 students and staff died in a 2018 high school massacre was arrested Wednesday after investigators said he lied to a grand jury investigating events surrounding the shooting.

This is the most significant move by the federal government to redefine the nature of state-funded public schools in U.S. history. Although the current effort to push public schools receiving federal funding to adopt a detailed indoctrination agenda may feel new and overwhelming for parents, the truth is that the Biden attempt is simply the last phase in a decades-

n the debate over whether one should or should not get the COVID vaccination, much has been said about the “science.” However, I’m not sure any encyclopedic knowledge of “science” is required to make this health decision. Simple statistical analysis should suffice to inform one’s ultimate decision. Statistics is primarily a study of probabilities. Fortunately, as regards COVID mortality rates, these probabilities are now known. That is, COVID mortality statistics broken down by age cohorts are now “known knowables.” For example, through statistics as of April 7, the odds an American under the age of 25 would die from COVID were 1-in-106,217.
