Critical Race Theory is Destroying American Military Strength

The Last Domino in the Neo-Marxist Subversion of America
Critical Race Theory (CRT) is social justice gone mad. Calling it a theory is highly deceptive. It is a Neo-Marxist toolset for destroying the social, moral, and cultural fabrics of civilization. It is a tool of division to weaken and confuse peoples and nations in order to destroy and enslave them. CRT already dominates much of academia, the media, huge corporate monopolies, and deep-state Federal bureaucracy. The final step needed for complete control of American culture and political power is CRT dominance in the military, which had always been a comparatively conservative bulwark of American traditions.

On Estland’s Strand Are Buried 41 Swedish Vikings
Probably in the early summer about 750 AD two longboats departed from their moorings somewhere along Lake Malaren in east central Sweden. The 72-mile long lake connected directly to the Baltic Sea then, and Malaren was a huge deep bay navigable far into central Sweden. Post glacial rebound eventually caused the land to rise and closed Malaren into to a lake rather than a bay. Stockholm did not exist then, but prosperous farms, villages, trading posts, towns, and a kingdom grew up around Lake Malaren and its islands.
This was before what most historians call the Viking age from 793 to 1100 AD, a period of Viking raids on surrounding nations.. The Vendel Period from about 550 to 800 AD was the Golden Age for Scandinavia. It was an age of material and cultural explosion and colorful sagas of great kings, heroes, warriors. It was a period of artistic appreciation and beautiful artistic design. It was a foundation for Scandinavian character, traditions, and social cooperation. It was also a time of expanding trade, consolidating political power, and increasing violence.

Time for Some Truth and Backbone
There seems to be a new full-court press in big media, education, and government to demonize Southern history and culture. It has even become difficult to find a study copy of the Confederate Constitution on the internet without shoveling through dozens of articles recently written to discredit it and anything not conforming to increasingly vicious anti-Southern narratives of the war. This new intolerant viciousness serves neither truth nor peace and insults common sense and wisdom.
The government and progressive media narrative of the Civil War focuses on one issue—slavery—turning the war into a morality play about freeing Southern slaves. No knowledgeable and politically uncorrupted scholar can endorse such a politicized and distorted simplification of history. Yet that is the prevailing and often compulsory public understanding of the “cause” of the war. Slavery was an important secondary issue, but it was not primarily driven by a moral rejection of the institution by most Northern political leaders or their constituents.
Marijuana, Mental Illness, and Deadly Violence

Irresponsible Liberal Politics Multiplying Disaster
In the last several days beginning May 31, both Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham on Fox News have featured expert testimony on the link between marijuana, psychosis, and violent behavior. Mass shootings at schools, churches, and other venues seem to be epidemic.
Ingraham suggested that the terrible shooting tragedies in Uvalde, Texas, and Buffalo, New York, might be explained by marijuana-induced mental illness, which has a frequent pattern of deadly violence. Ingraham may have had some specific information on this, but this has not yet been firmly established. But the tremendous stir in the mainstream liberal media over her remarks suggests a coordinated coverup. Following the May 31 program by Ingraham, the internet attacks against her were a hurricane of derogatory insults and arrogant dismissals of any implication that marijuana might in any way be an underlying factor in these shootings. Their very intensity indicated a strong vested interest in the profitable expansion of the marijuana industry, especially “recreational” marijuana.

In 1972, Richard Nixon had carried Texas with 66 percent, Georgia with 76 percent, North Carolina with almost 70 percent, Virginia with 68 percent, and Florida with 72 percent. The South had been a bastion for conservative Republican support.
