Newspeak Alert: The Word “Eskimo” Is Now Racist

Free Republic

Control language and you control thought. That is why progressives have been erasing our language one word at a time, boxing us into an ever smaller corner of what they decide should be permissible. The latest word to be banished is “Eskimo.” The taxpayer-funded thought police at NPR explain that although the word comes from the Ojibwe language, it has a “controversial history.” That is, it could be tainted with Western culture:

-People in many parts of the Arctic consider Eskimo a derogatory term because it was widely used by racist, non-native colonizers.-

Anything used by the colonizers who brought them stoves, snowmobiles, medicine, vodka, et cetera must be bad.

-Many people also thought it meant eater of raw meat, which connoted barbarism and violence. Although the word’s exact etymology is unclear, mid-century anthropologists suggested that the word came from the Latin word excommunicati, meaning the excommunicated ones, because the native people of the Canadian Arctic were not Christian.-

Apparently no one was buying this, so they came up with a new theory:

-According to the Alaska Native Language Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, linguists believe the word Eskimo actually came from the French word esquimaux, meaning one who nets snowshoes.-

If it’s French, the word definitely has to go.

-The word’s racist history means most people in Canada and Greenland still prefer other terms. The most widespread is Inuit, which means simply, “people.” The singular, which means “person,” is Inuk.

Of course, as with so many words sullied by the crimes of colonialism, not everyone agrees on what to do with Eskimo. Many Native Alaskans still refer to themselves as Eskimos, in part because the word Inuit isn’t part of the Yupik languages of Alaska and Siberia.

But unless you’re native to the circumpolar region, the short answer is: You probably shouldn’t use the word Eskimo.-

Only Eskimos should be allowed to say Eskimo.

Bottom line: Westerners call Eskimos Eskimos, therefore they should not be called Eskimos. Make sure to update your Newspeak dictionary, because in no time people will start losing jobs or getting expelled from college for using the totally innocuous word.

Obama’s Planned Surrender of the Internet Might Have Hit a Snag

Independent Sentinel

There are a number of assaults on the Internet underway by liberals and globalists. One involves Obama’s “internationalizing” of the Internet but some in Congress think it might be unconstitutional.

In the end, it’s all about control, centralization and globalization under the U.N.

Holder Prepared To Dismantle Ferguson Police Dept…If Necessary…

Weasel Zippers

And now we get to the heart of it, it’s all about an exercise of federal government control, not about the facts. As we reported earlier, the DOJ report on the police department was twisted to enhance the supposedly ‘racist’ nature of the department.

WASHINGTON, March 6 (Reuters) – U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said on Friday the Justice Department would use its full authority to demand police reforms in Ferguson, Missouri, including possibly going so far as dismantling the department accused of racial bias.

“We are prepared to use all the power that we have … to ensure that the situation changes there,” Holder told reporters.

Asked if that included dismantling the Ferguson Police Department, Holder said, “If that’s what’s necessary, we’re prepared to do that.”

Civil rights lawyers have previously said the county could absorb the functions of the Ferguson Police Department.

The Justice Department issued a report this week that found that police in Ferguson overwhelmingly arrested and issued traffic citations to black residents, creating a “toxic” environment with its policing practices.

The Obama Doctrine – Target the Right

Freedom Outpost

Obama’s war on “countering violent extremism” turns inward – on Americans. CNN reported Thursday that “a new intelligence assessment, circulated by the Department of Homeland Security this month and reviewed by CNN, focuses on the domestic terror threat from right-wing sovereign citizen extremists and comes as the Obama administration holds a White House conference to focus efforts to fight violent extremism.”

The DHS report unveils the Obama doctrine – ignoring the jihad and targeting the right – in a deliberate demonization of an increasing number of Americans who understand that our rights are being usurped and that the U.S. government has been hijacked by a collective of destroyers and anti-American operatives. This is not new. Obama made these same vicious accusations in a similar DHS report in early 2009. It is a strategy.

“Some federal and local law enforcement groups,” CNN says, “view the domestic terror threat from sovereign citizen groups as equal to – and in some cases greater than – the threat from foreign Islamic terror groups, such as ISIS, that garner more public attention.​”

 

President Obama is taking the idea of pre-emption to a whole other level. The Bush doctrine included a strategy of “preemptive strikes” as a defense against an immediate threat to the security of the United States. Obama is using it as an offense against the American people.

Enemy of the state.

Socialism is not the Answer

1 Dragon

At first I thought it was a joke but then I heard it from a few others. McDonald’s is going to pull the ……..wait for it……..the BigMac from their menu. Did Michelle 0bama get to the Golden Arches? Did she have the Food Police lean on them? I’ll bet Ray Kroc is rolling in his grave. I don’t need, nor do I want the government telling me what I can and cannot eat, drink, drive, smoke, chew, wear, etc. If McDonald’s is indeed going to do away with the BigMac, then I will go some where else. I know that the BigMac is not the healthiest thing to eat, but I don’t eat them to be healthy. I do that the other 28 days of the month.

How long before they come after Snickers or Happy Hours ? They are already making Pizza’s healthy. Turkey hot dogs on whole wheat buns, veggie burgers at White Castle. Anybody else see a pattern?

United Nations Civilian Disarmament Job Openings in New York

Moonbattery

In January, the federal government put up an RFI/Sources Sought listing for “Escort Services for Unaccompanied Alien Children” making it clear that the feds expected the border to be overwhelmed by “approximately 65,000″ unaccompanied illegal alien children in the near future. Less than half a year later, the tsunami hit as planned.

Now it’s the United Nations that needs help. Specifically, people are needed to work out of New York who have experience in DDR.

DDR used to stand for Deutsche Demokratische Republik, i.e., communist East Germany, a totalitarian hellhole. In a sense, the meaning hasn’t changed much. Now DDR stands for disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration. The United Nations describes it like this:

Disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) has become an integral part of post-conflict peace consolidation, featuring prominently in the mandates of peacekeeping operations over the last twenty years.

DDR activities are crucial components of both the initial stabilization of warn-torn societies as well as their long-term development. …

Disarmament is the collection, documentation, control and disposal of small arms, ammunition, explosives and light and heavy weapons from combatants and often from the civilian population.

Demobilization is the formal and controlled discharge of active combatants from armed forces and groups, including a phase of “reinsertion” which provides short-term assistance to ex-combatants.

Reintegration is the process by which ex-combatants acquire civilian status and gain sustainable employment and income. It is a political, social and economic process with an open time-frame, primarily taking place in communities at the local level.

Check out this UN job listing:

It also shows up on Simply Hired:

Excuse the paranoia, but you could almost get the impression that the UN is recruiting people to disarm the American population. Someone who knows more than we do may be expecting it to hit the fan soon.

No wonder Obama still looks so smug, even as his presidency disintegrates.

 

 

 

Sharia for Dummies

Family Security Matters

No, that’s not the actual title. Sharia-ism is Here: The Battle to Control Women and Everyone Else might have been called that but doubtless Joy Brighton, the author, would have encountered brand or trademark infringement problems with the publisher of the popular and successful For Dummies series, John Wiley & Sons. I also suspect that Wiley & Sons would have been horrified by the idea of publishing such an “Islamophobic” book anyway. It has published Islam for Dummies and The Koran for Dummies, both of which, to judge by their Amazon descriptions, are treacly, inoffensive, sanitized guides to a highly “misunderstood” and “misperceived” religion-cum-ideology.

Brighton’s opus is a generously illustrated and annotated book intended as a “show n’ tell book for national security, civil right and women’s right activists and lobbyists in America.” It is meant to be read by, and serve as, a handy reference guide for anyone who is aware of the peril posed by Islam as it is practiced around the world, in the West, and especially in the U.S., but who really hasn’t digested the scale of the threat or any of its details. And it isn’t just about Islam’s crusade to control women. It truly is about Islam’s designs on everyone.

Democrat Told President Nixon in 1970:

Free Republic

Rush Limbaugh.com

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Well, well, well, looky here. Koko Jr. at RushLimbaugh.com just sent me a quick note. “Documents released Friday…” This is from July of 2010, folks, so it’s from the archives at RushLimbaugh.com. “Documents released Friday by the Nixon Presidential Library show members of President Richard Nixon’s inner circle discussing the possibilities of global warming more than 30 years ago.

“Advisor Daniel Patrick Moynihan, notable as a Democrat in the [Nixon] administration, urged the [Nixon] administration to initiate a worldwide system of monitoring carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, decades before the issue of global warming came to the public’s attention.” Here is the nub: Daniel Patrick Moynihan warned Richard Nixon in 1970 that unless the Nixon administration took drastic action to limit greenhouse gases, it would be seven degrees warmer in the year 2000 and parts of America would be underwater.

In 1970.

This is five years before the famous Newsweek cover on the coming ice age. Moynihan, in 1970, warned Nixon to act on global warming or parts of the country would be underwater by 2000. In fact, here’s what he wrote: “This could increase the average temperature near the earth’s surface by seven degrees Fahrenheit. This in turn could raise the level of the sea by 10 feet. Goodbye, New York.

“Goodbye, Washington, for that matter,” by the year 2000. That’s 14 years ago. In 1970, Nixon was told we gotta act now or by 30 years from now, in 2000, New York City’s gone, Washington’s gone, and we’re gonna have temperature raise of seven degrees! There’s nothing that has changed. There’s nothing new. The predictions are the same. They never come true. All these predictions of doom and gloom and destitution never come true. What does happen?

While all of these predictions are out there, liberal policies are put into place, and they do cause havoc.

Paul Ehrlich was also in the 1970s.

Alinsky for Non-believers

Socialism is not the Answer

Okay folks.  Here it is spelled out for us.  Who can deny that Obama and his ‘friends’ are leading us down the path to being under their control?  We will no longer be free.  I wish people would WAKE UP!!

If anyone can read this and still say everything is just fine……..

 

Saul David Alinsky, a writer, was an American community organizer and writer. He is generally considered to be the founder of the modern community organizing movement. He is most noted for his book Rules for Radicals.

Died: June 12, 1972, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA

Education: University of Chicago

Spouse: Irene Alinsky

Books: Rules for Radicals, Reveille for Radicals

 

Anyone out there think that this stuff isn’t happening today in the U.S.? 

All eight rules are currently in play

 

 

How to create a social state by Saul Alinsky:

 

There are eight levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state. The first is the most important.

 

1) Healthcare– Control healthcare and you control the people

 

2) Poverty – Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.

 

3) Debt – Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.

 

4) Gun Control– Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.

 

5) Welfare – Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income)

 

6) Education – Take control of what people read and listen to – take control of what children learn in school.

 

7) Religion – Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools

 

8) Class Warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.

 

Does any of this sound like what is happening to the United States ?

 

Alinsky merely simplified Vladimir Lenin’s original scheme for world conquest by communism, under Russian rule. Stalin described his converts as “Useful Idiots.”  The Useful Idiots have destroyed every nation in which they have seized power and control. It is presently happening at an alarming rate in the U.S.
