Ethnic Studies Curriculum - Summary Chart

Ethnic Studies Curriculum - I researched the California Department of Education web site to create a 3-page comparative chart. Candidates and conservative activists need this chart to know useful talking points and concerns about each point. Learn what is being taught and specific problems with concepts taken from BLM and CRT as used in this State-wide curriculum. So while public schools are “not teaching CRT”, you need this chart to know questionable aspects that the State is promoting K-12 under the topic of “Ethnic Studies”.

Marks of the Beast

Revelation 13:17 in the Bible says of the mark of the beast, "And that no man might buy or sell save that he had the mark." And what is a vaccine passport but a type of mark that controls what we can and cannot do.

From the very begin­ning, the COVID situation was entrusted to political and medical entities. Instead of this virus being treated like any other annual flu, it became a political vehicle to drive lockdowns, masks, distancing, destruction of jobs and businesses, and increased suicides. Mistrust and suspicion have sprung up toward the political and medical entitles that are dictating the COVID rules. Fear has become a huge factor, creating shame and blame over receiving, or not receiving, the passports.

Transparencies about the negative risk of COVID are not easily found. The FDA announced it would add the warning of developing heart inflammation after the Cen­ters for Disease Control and Prevention report on same. Heart inflammation, either myocarditis or pericarditis, had been found in young adults and children after they received the vaccines, which use mRNA technol­ogy, according to the Epoch Times, June 29, 2021.

Dr. Robert Malone in­vented the mRNA and DNA vaccine core platform tech­nology. In an interview with Dr. Mercola on June 6, 2021, Dr. Malone stated grave concerns about the lack of transparency of side effects, censoring of discussion and the lack of informed consent that these bring. He stated that free SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is biologically active con­trary to initial assumptions, and causes severe problems. It is responsible for the most severe effects seen in COVID, such as bleeding disorders, blood clots and heart problems.

Herbert Spencer on the i State Sanitary Supervision ' (1851), warned about a similar threat to liberty in 1851 in his book "Social Statics" by what he called "sanitary supervision."

Are Americans on a march to Marxist Com­munism via a medically dictatorial mindset? Do we really want to wear a patch or armband like the Jews in Germany or like the children in Russia? Are we willing to accept a "Mark of the beast"? What does this beast look like?

Afghanistan, RIP - Thoughts about Two Wars

This past weekend, 8/15/2021, Afghanistan fell to the Taliban.  Much is being made about the parallels between the fall of South Vietnam on April 30, 1975, and the events in Kabul yesterday.

Here is a personal parallel.  I served for two tours as an Army helicopter pilot in South Vietnam.  More recently, my son served for two tours as an Army helicopter pilot in Afghanistan.  Today, both of us remember our Army friends who never came home or who came home with grievous injuries that have affected them for the rest of their lives.

And it is the same for several thousand Alameda County veterans who served in Afghanistan during the past twenty years.  Their service and sacrifice have been rendered meaningless in a matter of a few days.

And another parallel:  The collapse of South Vietnam began in August 1974 when a Democrat controlled congress voted to stop all assistance to the country.  By the end of the year North Vietnam began a conventional invasion of South Vietnam.  The collapse of Afghanistan began the day President Biden announced all US forces would leave the country by the end of this month.

It gets much worse.  The collapse of Kabul has encouraged our enemies once again.  One day what we faced in Afghanistan and Iraq will seem insignificant in comparison to what we will face.  What will we do?

City Councils to fly LGBTQIA+ flag all June

City Councils plan to fly the LGBQTIA+ flag all June (one new Livermore council member asked that it be in perpetuity). The flag decision is likely to be on May 24 Monday 7pm. Here is the Livermore link for finding agenda when it gets posted (also where to sign up to get future agendas). Write out your thoughts to fit within three (3) minutes (write out in advance to help you stay on track). Only in-person and Zoom public comments affect the City Council.

CDE Adopts curriculum founded on CRT

According to the Hoover Institute, Tuesday, March 23, 2021, The California Department of Education (CDE) voted to adopt the fourth version of an ethnic studies curriculum after four years, three previous versions, and more than 100,000 objections. The objections are based on the curriculum which continues to be founded on critical race theory (CRT), which is the view that our legal, economic, and social institutions are inherently racist.  https://www.cde.ca.gov

For Background: Critical Race Theory (CRT) derived from one of the main pillars of communist theory hammered out by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels and published in 1848 in the Communist Manifesto. Marx and Engels believed only two classes of people existed: the oppressors and the oppressed. Pitting the two classes against each other would provoke a communist revolution. In education, teachers who teach CRT will view every subject through the lens of race, keeping in mind that one race is the oppressed and the other race is the oppressor. All existing thoughts on racial justice are to be challenged and altered to explain the struggles of the oppressed.  - via Intercessors for America, 5-11-21
