Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors is being
called out as a “fraud” for buying an expensive home in an overwhelmingly
white, secluded area of California.
The 37-year-old “trained Marxist” bought a $1.4 million,
2,400 square foot house in Topanga Canyon, where 88 percent of the population
is white and less than 2 percent is black.

Black Lives Matter Co-Founder Buys $1.4 Million Compound Near Beverly Hills

After critics on Twitter started sharing an article about the purchase, calling out the activist as
a "fraud," Twitter stepped in to offer a "helping hand."
Tucker
Carlson on Friday night told his Fox News viewers that Twitter had even begun
taking down reference to the property.
Carlson
noted that Whitlock posted on Twitter a link to the original story about the
property, on the celebrity property blog The Dirt.
'He
posted this on Twitter. Just made the obvious point. What? What happened? His
account has been locked by Twitter,' said Carlson.
'This
was a news story on real estate blog. He posted it. Lots of other people posted
it. But when Jason Whitlock, who is an extremely effective voice for reason,
who speaks clearly and honestly and is, therefore, a threat. They shut him
down. Amazing, on many levels.' (Daily Mail)

GLOBALIST DOGMA MEANS THE END OF AMERICA, AND
FOR MANY THAT’S THE GOAL
John Fonte has written an excellent article called “End Nationalism, End America.” For many on the left, that’s the point. They may dislike nationalism, but what they really can’t stand is America. Their target isn’t the nation state; it’s our nation state. That’s why they want to cede as much of our sovereignty as they can get away with to international bodies.
Fonte writes:
If progressive liberal esteem for the
democratic nation-state is low, the mainstream Left’s depiction of the American
nation’s particular culture, people, institutions, and mores is even more
negative. . . .
For more than 50 years, Americans have been
educated by liberals who have told them that they are too racist, sexist,
xenophobic, individualistic; too attached to their guns, religion, violence,
and a glorified version of their history. Last year, progressivism’s discontent
with American society exploded. The steady promotion
of multiculturalism, diversity, inclusion, and intersectionality has now
morphed into a militant denunciation of the entire American project as
“systemically racist,” calling for revolutionary “anti-racist” action.
The flagship of American liberalism is the
New York Times. Its 1619 Project is the spearhead of an “anti-racist”
ideology which seeks to reshape the American regime. Leading educational
institutions, from Princeton University to the American Association of School
Administrators, the National Association of Secondary School Principals, the
National Council of Teachers of English, and myriad others, have joined the
“anti-racist” crusade.
(Emphasis added)
Left-liberals don’t just dislike American
culture, people, institutions, and mores. They dislike our Constitution. Fonte
points to a
survey finding that 79 percent of Americans who describe themselves as
“very liberal” (which comprised 40 percent of all liberals) and 70 percent of
the just plain liberals favored replacing our Constitution.
Ceding sovereignty to international bodies is a way to
negate the Constitution.
Fonte notes that political thinkers from Plato and
Aristotle to Montesquieu and the American Founders have explained that an
emotional attachment to one’s political community is necessary for its
survival. But that presents no problem to those on the left who don’t want our
political community to survive.
And that’s the sentiment of a great many American
leftists. We can infer this from the same survey mentioned above. It found that
41 percent of very liberals and 33 percent of plain liberals would like to see
our country renamed.
Ditch our nation’s Constitution and its name, and in a
very real sense, you have ended America.
The internationalism of left-liberals is therefore a
means to an end — the end of America. Fonte concludes:
Since leftists see Americans as too
racist, sexist, and war-like, they naturally conclude that subordinating
American power to global authority would help mitigate this problem. Fortuitously
for the Left, this means power would reside with people like themselves:
international lawyers, NGO advocates, and deracinated “global citizens.” At
home, as Christopher Caldwell described in The Age of Entitlement, power would
shift from elected officials to administrators and judges, because these
experts are necessary to enforce equal outcomes for “oppressed” racial and
gender groups.
This utopian dream of “substantive” equality
for groups, of course, will never be achieved in a free society. Instead the
Left’s agenda, if successfully implemented, would mean less freedom and less
self-government—it would mean an overall move from republicanism (i.e.,
American constitutional democracy) towards administrative-judicial oli
