Chicago Public Schools' radical agenda gets uglier: 'Equity' video promotes looting and burning

Looting and burning is a pathway to social justice. That's the message from a video recently added by Chicago Public Schools to its website as a response to perceived economic injustice for blacks. The district calls the video an "equity tool," but the reality is it promotes hopelessness. Titled "How Can We Win?," the video's message is clear: there is no way. Better to riot, loot, and burn. It sounds unbelievable, but in Chicago's schools, it's not.

Some CPS students have difficult lives. Too many face the possibility of violent crime and gang harassment, and loss of friends and family.

Schools, and CPS in particular, are meant to be places of hope and growth, where learning can be a ticket to a better life. CPS leadership and teachers are meant to push kids beyond where they are, to help them read and do math and to think and to succeed. There's no question that's a challenging objective. But there must be optimism, high expectations, and possibility running through it all.

Comment: The only way to fight against this nihilistic outlook is through education, yet here we see this is a colossal failure. When your educators are encouraging rampant destruction as an answer to your ills, there truly is no hope.

Priorities: Western nations pledge $85bln for proxy war in Ukraine, nearly double the amount the UN needs to help over 200 million people

UN aid agencies are facing their biggest funding gap ever as a result of both the large number of crises unfolding across the world and of the west prioritizing relief funds for Ukraine.

Since the start of the year, the UN has raised less than one-third of the funds needed to help hundreds of millions across the world, with donor countries prioritizing aid for Ukraine's overwhelmingly white and Christian populace than for people fleeing violence and famine in West Asia and Africa.

"The war in Ukraine has illustrated, very starkly, how it is possible to rapidly and extensively mobilize support for refugees and respond to humanitarian needs — when political commitment is there," Kathryn Mahoney, the global spokeswoman for the UNHCR, told the New York Times.


Comment: Except the West's proxy-war in Ukraine has been manufactured in their failing attempt to destroy Russia, and could be resolved by the West simply not funding the Nazi allied military in Ukraine, meanwhile (at least some of) these other crises could not be resolved so easily.


Comment: Note that Iraq and Yemen have, and are, suffering from the impact of Western regime change operations, so the West is basically paying the UN to clean up the fall out of its criminality. And, even then, considering how compromised and corrupt the UN is, can we be really sure the aid packages are being dealt with in such a way as to achieve the best outcomes possible?

Australian schools dock pay to 'discipline' unvaccinated teachers

Move comes two months after mandate was reversed, but failure to comply must always be punished.

Empty Classroom
© Off-GuardianMore than 1,000 schools in disadvantaged areas have an entire class-worth of pupils missing as MPs call on the government to take action.
Hundreds of unvaccinated teachers in the Australian state of Queensland are facing up to five months of reduced pay as a "disciplinary measure" for refusing to be "vaccinated" against Covid19.

Queensland introduced rules mandating covid "vaccines" for all teachers in December of 2021. Those who would not comply were placed on unpaid leave and "investigated":
In December 2021, unvaccinated teachers were suspended without pay and investigated for failing to obey a direction from the Department of Education.
The mandate was reversed in June of this year, but teachers returning to work will now face further "discipline" - 18 weeks of pay reduction.

That's right, having already faced months of suspension without pay, the teachers now face further punitive measures for refusing to comply with a rule that isn't even in place anymore.

assassin Natalya Vovk Darya Dugina
© RTFSB video shows the suspect behind Moscow car bombing, Natalya Vovk, entering the house where the attack’s victim, Darya Dugina, lived
OK, so, within a day of the attempted assassination of Alexander Dugin, we have the following facts given to us by the FSB.
  • The assassin was a Ukrainian death-harpy - Natalya Pavlovna Vovk
  • She crossed into Russia on July 23 with her daughter
  • She rented an apartment in Dugin's building
  • She went to the "Tradition" event/talk and planted a bomb on the car she thought Dugin would drive
  • Dugin's daughter Darya got blown-up instead
  • The assassin changed plates and crossed the border with Estonia
  • The FSB revealed that they allowed an Azov member to enter Russia, rent an apartment in Dugin's apartment, acquire a bomb somehow, almost kill a public figure, and then calmly leave the country
Some more facts that are worth considering. The FSB claims that it has stopped literally hundreds of terrorist plots and attacks ranging from assassinations to sabotage actions and possibly even mass terrorism. The only terror plot that slipped through their net was the one targeted at the living symbol of Russian nationalism. During a time of extremely high tensions with the West and Ukraine. Curious.

transgender sues psychiatrist for diagnosis
Jay Langadinos, who no longer considers herself a male, claims Dr. Patrick Toohey signed off on her gender transition surgeries without much consideration.
An Australian woman who transitioned to male, before realizing it was a mistake, is suing a psychiatrist after he approved her female-to-male hormone treatment following a single meeting — and later signed off on two surgeries to remove her breasts and uterus.

Jay Langadinos, now 31, was just 19 when she first met Dr. Patrick Toohey, a veteran Sydney psychiatrist, in May 2010.

The teen was referred to him by her endocrinologist to determine if she was suitable for a gender transition.

A major food crisis coming in 2023? "Prices will be on steroids after the election"

We are being warned that food prices in the U.S. are going to go absolutely haywire after the election in November. I am taking such warnings very seriously, and I believe that you should too. Global officials have been telling us over and over again that we are heading into an unprecedented global food crisis, and I have been writing about this again and again in recent weeks. But so far, the vast majority of the population doesn't seem to be taking this seriously. Agricultural production is going to be way below expectations all over the planet in 2022, and that means that there will be far less food to go around in 2023.

Let me give you a perfect example of what I am talking about. Just within the last couple of days, it has been reported that there will be crop losses "of up to 50 percent" in the German state of Baden-Württemberg...
Crop losses of up to 50 percent are now expected in parts of Germany due to drought, farmers in affected regions have claimed.

Up to half of the crops in parts of the German state of Baden-Württemberg are likely to be lost due to drought, farmers in the region have claimed, with problems to do with the prices of fuel, fertiliser, and pesticides connected to the green agenda and war in Ukraine also reportedly causing problems for those in the region.
These are crop losses that haven't happened yet.

A nine-year-old girl was fatally shot in Liverpool after a gunman burst into her family's home chasing another man who did not live there, police said.

Merseyside police named the victim as Olivia Pratt-Korbel, who was getting ready for bed at the time.

Serena Kennedy, the force's chief constable, said the girl's family had been "torn apart" by the shooting in the Dovecot area of the city on Monday night. They were "absolutely devastated, inconsolable and heartbroken", she added.

Police said Olivia's mother, Cheryl Korbel, appeared to have opened her front door in Kingsheath Avenue to see what was happening after hearing shots in the street. A 35-year-old man then forced his way into the house followed by the gunman.

Comment: In recent months there appears to have been a surge in various kinds of violent crime both in the UK, and the US: 9-year-old girl stabbed to death in Lincolnshire, UK - violent crime highest in 20 years

Irony: Teachers union head who is partnered with left-wing disinformation group shares fake news

Randi Weingarten
American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten admitted to sharing fake news Sunday when the union leader published a list of supposedly banned books in Florida.

"Books we have taught for generations!" Weingarten wrote in a quote tweet amplifying the list from an account called "Freesus Patriot," which refused to reveal its sources. Titles include classics from "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "The Handmaid's Tale" to the Harry Potter novels. The list of purportedly blacklisted books, however, was entirely made up, with many remaining in K-12 curricula throughout the state.

"My bad," Weingarten wrote in a follow-up post. "Looks like some of the books weren't banned."

Comment: Well, we always knew the disinformation guardians were the biggest source of disinformation.

A crowd of demonstrators took to the streets to denounce remaining Covid mandates.

Protesters converged around New Zealand's parliament to condemn the government's response to the Covid-19 pandemic, drawing a heavy police response and a crowd of counter-demonstrators.

Tuesday's action saw around 2,000 people gather at the parliament building in Wellington, according to the Associated Press, which noted that law enforcement had made preparations in the area to prevent any major unrest, blocking off roads, erecting barricades, and barring demonstrators from bringing structures onto the grounds.

seattle children's hospital services
The Seattle Children's Hospital Gender Clinic gives patients puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones & so-called "gender-affirming" surgeries, and they begin seeing patients at the age of 9.

The clinic accepts new patients as young as 9 years old and "sees patients who have begun to show signs of puberty development. Gender-affirming medical care, such as puberty blockers, are not considered until patients have begun puberty development."

"We accept new patients ages 9 to 16," the site reads. "Patients ages 17 and older and patients who have not yet started puberty will be directed to community resources. Our clinic primarily provides gender-affirming medical care (such as puberty blockers and gender-affirming hormones).

Comment: These people are sick exploiters of children. They should be in prison.
