FSU Thanksgiving display an 'all-out assault' on Pilgrims

FSU Thanksgiving display an 'all-out assault' on Pilgrims:


  • A Florida State University residence hall has been decorated with a bulletin board portraying Thanksgiving as a reminder of the Pilgrims’ ineptitude and racism.


  • The display contains claims such as “the majority of pilgrims couldn’t farm or build anything" and “Only by selling Squanto into slavery twice and forcing him to learn English were the Pilgrims able to survive."


  • The RA responsible for the board claims they were motivated by the fact that "history isn't accurately represented," and wants students to "do more research."
  • A Florida State University residence hall has been decorated with a bulletin board portraying Thanksgiving as a reminder of the Pilgrims’ ineptitude and racism.
    The Resident Assistant responsible for setting up the display in Traditions Hall, who requested anonymity, told Campus Reform that they wanted to inform residents that in many cases, “history isn’t accurately represented”, and wanted to “encourage them to do more research.”
    “Only by selling Squanto into slavery twice and forcing him to learn English were the Pilgrims able to survive.”    
    In statements written within the feathers of paper turkey cut-outs, students are told that “the majority of pilgrims couldn’t farm or build anything,” as well as that “Native Americans provided most of the food, but naturally, the white settlers took credit.”
    While the creator admitted that the statement about white settlers was a low blow, they maintained that the whitewashing of history is common in movies, TV, and history books, asserting that the Native Americans brought much of the food to the first Thanksgiving dinner, but that “isn’t what we hear about."
    “Only by selling Squanto into slavery twice and forcing him to learn English were the Pilgrims able to survive,” another feather claims. “Otherwise, they’d have most likely all died.”
    James Fletcher Dilmore, the Chairman of the FSU College Republicans, disagrees with the statements on the board, and feels that they were not necessarily spurred by good intentions.
    Describing the display as racist towards whites and an example of the “anti-white narrative perpetuated by the far left,” Dilmore denounced this sort of “all-out assault” on traditional American culture, which he believes is detrimental to the ideal that America should be a society in which those of all walks of life have an opportunity to prosper.
    The creator of the board contends that the statements on the board are factual, and are merely nontraditional due to biased reporting of history, arguing that the Pilgrims thought of the Native Americans as savages—often “swindling them into exchanges.”
    The RA directed Campus Reform to the website of the United American Indians of New England, which lists Thanksgiving as the “National Day of Mourning” and calls the day “a reminder of the genocide of millions of Native people, the theft of Native lands, and the relentless assault on Native culture”...

    Flag-stomping commies greeted with collective shrug at Berkeley

    Flag-stomping commies greeted with collective shrug at Berkeley

  • Communist protesters at the University of California, Berkeley staged a demonstration Wednesday railing against the “capitalist system” and “American imperialism” by encouraging students to stomp the American flag alongside them.
  • Witnesses, however, told Campus Reform that students were nonplussed by the intentionally provocative activity, generally ignoring the reds as they passed by on their way to class.
  • Communist protesters at the University of California, Berkeley staged a demonstration Wednesday railing against the “capitalist system” and “American imperialism” by encouraging students to stomp the American flag alongside them.
    The protesters were a part of Berkeley’s “Revolution Bookstore,” a communist establishment near campus frequented by communist academics and students alike. The organization’s website details its goals of “an actual revolution for the emancipation of humanity” and sings the praises of Bob Avakian, the cult-like leader of the American Communist Party.
    “To my surprise, even stepping on the American flag is too far for many Berkeley students.”    
    Students at UC Berkeley told Campus Reform that the group routinely comes on campus to step on the American flag and to convince students to join the communist revolution. Normally they wait outside the entrance, but this time, they pressed deep into campus in the hopes of getting a positive reaction from leftist students.
    The communist “revolutionaries” chanted “America is committing genocide” and “we need a communist revolution,” according to witnesses at the scene, one of whom posted photographs of the demonstration on Facebook.
    UC Berkeley is widely known for being one of the most liberal universities in the country, and made headlines last week when protesters violently blocked white students from using an on-campus bridge, but despite these aggressive leftist tactics, most students seemed unfazed by the communist message.

    Border Patrol: 'We Are Simply Overwhelmed'

    Border Patrol: 'We Are Simply Overwhelmed' | LifeZette:
    "Sen. Sessions sounds the alarm as promise of Clinton amnesty escalates surge of illegal immigrants
    by Brendan Kirby | Updated 31 Oct 2016 at 6:34 PM
    Eight days before Americans elect a new president, Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions on Monday laid out the stakes as immigration enforcement along the U.S.-Mexico border continues to deteriorate.
    In a news release, the senator’s office declared a “crisis at our southwest border — one that in many ways exceeds the crisis we saw just two years ago, one that further undermines the integrity of our immigration system, but one that the most of the media has elected to ignore.”
    The current situation “exceeds the crisis we saw just two years ago, one that further undermines the integrity of our immigration system, but one that the most of the media has elected to ignore.”
    ...Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, has said talk of amnesty or something resembling it has created a "pull factor," encouraging illegal immigrants to make the dangerous journey to the Mexican border.
    "We are simply overwhelmed," Judd said. 
    The senator highlighted an immigration enforcement agent who told Breitbart News on Sunday that the workload is worse that it ever has been.
    "The administration's policies have created the influx and the crisis situation because people overrun our border knowing they have a chance to stay," the unnamed officer said..."

    2006 Audio Emerges of Hillary Clinton Proposing Rigging Palestine Election | | Observe
    "On September 5, 2006, Eli Chomsky was an editor and staff writer for the Jewish Press, and Hillary Clinton was running for a shoo-in re-election as a U.S. senator.
    Her trip making the rounds of editorial boards brought her to Brooklyn to meet the editorial board of the Jewish Press.
    The tape was never released and has only been heard by the small handful of Jewish Press staffers in the room. 
    According to Chomsky, his old-school audiocassette is the only existent copy and no one has heard it since 2006, until today when he played it for the Observer.
    The tape is 45 minutes and contains much that is no longer relevant, such as analysis of the re-election battle that Sen. Joe Lieberman was then facing in Connecticut.
    But a seemingly throwaway remark about elections in areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority has taken on new relevance amid persistent accusations in the presidential campaign by Clinton’s Republican opponent Donald Trump that the current election is “rigged.”
    Speaking to the Jewish Press about the January 25, 2006, election for the second Palestinian Legislative Council (the legislature of the Palestinian National Authority), Clinton weighed in about the result, which was a resounding victory for Hamas (74 seats) over the U.S.-preferred Fatah (45 seats).
    “I do not think we should have pushed for an election in the Palestinian territories. I think that was a big mistake,” said Sen. Clinton. “And if we were going to push for an election, then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win.”
    Chomsky recalls being taken aback that “anyone could support the idea—offered by a national political leader, no less—that the U.S. should be in the business of fixing foreign elections.”...

    Updated: Worries about U.S. voter fraud overstated? Hah! Multiple news reports shows it is massive!ky
    Editor's note: The views expressed herein are solely those of the authora and of those in the videos presented.  As a non-partisan public charity, LifeSite does not endorse these statements and takes no position on political candidates.
    October 26, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) — Some of us have tried during the past few U.S. elections to warn Americans of massive voter fraud likely to take place during those two times Barack Obama was elected. 
    Unfortunately, few took these warnings seriously. 
    They could not imagine that such fraud would or likely did have a significant, negative impact on the issues that LifeSite covers as part of its core mission. 
    See the long list of articles below revealing currently on-going federal election 2016 fraud. 

    The reaction to LifeSite reporter Ben Johnson's well-researched 4-part investigative series on Obama's Marxist, get-out-the-vote head, Buffy Wicks, seemed to fall on deaf ears. 
    There were few comments or other responses. 
    Only much later were there reports in some major media confirming that significant fraud did take place during the Obama elections. 
    Now, what is happening in this election appears to be far beyond the voter fraud that likely happened during the Obama elections. 
    The rapidly mounting evidence, finally being taken seriously by some in the mainstream media and many in alternative media, is that voter fraud is massive this election.
    In addition to the Lou Dobbs report above, here are more examples of a growing flood of news reports coming out these past few weeks on this worrisome, now proven to be very real election factor.

    Pure Michigan Spent $295 Million and Even Hotels Only Got Scraps Back

    Pure Michigan Spent $295 Million and Even Hotels Only Got Scraps Back [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
    "Since 2006 this state has spent $295 million on an advertising campaign called Pure Michigan that is intended to draw tourism dollars here from other states.
    But a new study shows that state-funded efforts to promote tourism are mostly a blunder.
    The marketing scheme is widely recognized thanks to its homey TV commercials showing picturesque Michigan locations and narrated by film and television star Tim Allen.
    Michigan’s Legislature appropriated $34 million to the program for the current year, $1 million more than last year. 
    Pure Michigan is managed by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, which is the state’s economic development agency.
    The study’s authors, Mike LaFaive, director of fiscal policy at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, and Dr. Michael Hicks, a Ball State University professor and Mackinac Center board of scholars member, analyzed decades of tourism promotion data from almost every state to determine whether such programs have had an economic payoff.
    “After analyzing 39 years’ worth of tourism promotion data from 48 states, we believe the answer is a resounding no,” the authors said.
    LaFaive and Hicks conclusion is that no more taxpayer dollars should be spent on Pure Michigan..."

    Read of the DAY!-----My spiritual journey with Donald Trump

    Beaton: My spiritual journey with Donald Trump | AspenTimes.com:
    "Donald Trump is not my spiritual adviser, but I find myself on an enlightening journey with the man.
    From the beginning, Trump hasn’t exactly acted like a statesman.
    In fact, he makes Ferris Bueller look like John Foster Dulles.
    But then, he beat my guy fair and square.
    So unlike the Republican establishment, I got behind him.
    Image result for trump clinton cartoon
    My doubts grew as I learned more.
    The disclosure of his shabby words about women was the last of a whole bale of ugly straws, and it finally broke me.
    Initially, it felt good to break with Trump.
    He’s just not a gentleman, I sniffed.
    I’m better than him, I boasted to myself.
    Moral sanctimony is a buzz, and it’s addictive. 
    I was not just high on my horse; I was just plain high.
    But I thought more about it.
    I talked with friends I’ve made in other journeys, with professional women and with religious people.
    I even prayed a little, which for me is praying a lot.
    I realized that my feel-good trip was exactly the repulsive feel-good that I’d seen earlier in the Republican establishment. 
    It was a pose. 
    It was self-bestowed. 
    It was a cheap grace.
    Yes, Trump is crude.
    I never want to be with him in a locker room or anywhere else.
    He’s deeply flawed.
    But so am I.
    As a deeply flawed man myself, I don’t have the moral authority to judge Trump as a man. 
    I can only judge him as a potential president, and in that I can only judge him in comparison with the other candidate.
    That would be Hillary Clinton. 
    Remember her?
    Assisted by countless establishment lackeys pleading the Fifth (the most recent being a State Department employee who did so 90 times last week alone) she’s the person who did for emails what her husband did for cigars — made them disappear..."

    Tonight 9:00 PBS-----Documentary Recalls Horrors of Korean War

    Documentary Recalls Horrors of Korean War - Reason.com
    "When the Chinese mortar shell exploded, it sent the American soldier hurtling through the air, his body savaged but his mind eerily dreamy as he fell back to earth, cataloging the carnage surrounding him.
    He took particular note of a severed limb casually askew on the ground. "Some poor guy lost a leg," the soldier thought to himself sadly. 
    When he tried to stand, the dream blinked back to reality: 
    The poor guy without a leg was him.
    So it goes in The Battle of Chosin, an episode of the PBS documentary series American Experience airing November 1.
    It's a series of postcards—surreal, grisly, terrifying—from a largely forgotten battle in the mostly unremembered war that the United States fought in Korea from 1950 to 1953.
    For two weeks beginning in late November 1950, a U.S.-commanded force of nearly 15,000 men, mostly U.S. Marines, fought its way out of an encirclement of 120,000 Chinese troops near the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea.
    The combat, at such close quarters that the fighting was often hand-to-hand, took place on steep, craggy mountain terrain ("you had two directions to go in Korea, that was either straight up or straight down, recalls one American soldier) in temperatures that plunged to 50 degrees below zero on some nights.
    It was a frozen killing field so gruesome that the soldiers interviewed in The Battle of Chosin are often reduced to ghastly free association in their attempts to describe it: "Grotesque. ... Horrible. Nightmare."
    ...The arctic cold inflicted almost as much damage on the Marines as the Chinese did; the photos of blackened, mutilated feet will forever dispel you of any idea that frostbite is a minor injury.
    One soldier describes how when medics finally used an axe to get his frozen boots off, his toes stayed inside.
    ...One Marine, after tossing a grenade into an enemy bunker, entered it to find a lone Chinese machine-gunner still at his post, his legs and stomach torn away but his heart somehow still beating. "He kept talking to me in Chinese," the American remembers, his eyes red and moist. 
    "Was he telling me about his family; was he pleading with me to dispatch him? ... I still think about him at night sometimes, just wishing I could have understood what he was saying. 
    It's nothing to kill them at a distance. 
    It's when you look them in the eye, that's different." 
    The Battle of Chosin never breaks its gaze.

    Along the way, Knight decided to acknowledge any Wolverines fans in the house.
    "I went to Ohio State instead of one of your favorite schools," Knight told the crowd, according to MLive Grand Rapids reporter Lauren Gibbons.
    The crowd immediately responded with a heavy boo.
    Knight, in turn, responded: "You know we beat your ass most every time we played you."
    Indeed, Knight attended and played at Ohio State from 1960-1962.

    Political Correctness and Cultural Appropriation Panic Are Killing Halloween

    Political Correctness and Cultural Appropriation Panic Are Killing Halloween - Hit & Run : Reason.com:
    "Australian actor Chris Hemsworth is very sorry for dressing up as Native American.
    "I was stupidly unaware of the offense this may have caused and the sensitivity around this issue," he recently wrote on Instagram. 
    "I sincerely and unreservedly apologize to all First Nations people for this thoughtless action."
    For those who think they were owned an apology, it's actually overdue: 
    Image result for hollywood halloweenHemsworth donned the offensive costume at a New Year's Eve party last year. 
    But now he's apparently more enlightened about how cultural appropriation further marginalizes oppressed communities—like the people at Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. 
    And he's not alone: actress Hillary Duff just apologized for this year's offensive couple costume—Duff and her boyfriend celebrated the holiday this weekend as a Native American and a Pilgrim.
    Take Tufts University, where student-leaders of Greek life on campus are particularly worried about costume-related sanctions. They have good reason to be concerned: the university is watching. 
    "We encourage all students that feel like they have encountered someone who is wearing an inappropriate and offensive costume to please file a report," said Dean of Students Mary Pat McMahon, according to a letter sent to the Greek community. ..
    Greek leaders would like to err on the side of caution—how's that for Halloween spirit?—and have asked members of their community to eschew "inappropriate, offensive, and appropriative costumes." Cultural appropriation—dressing up like someone from a different race—is especially frowned upon. But that's not all: costumes "relating to tragedy, controversy, or acts of violence" are also frowned upon.
    One wonders what's left. Many students who heed the above guidelines are presumably restricted from dressing up as samurais, hombres, geishas, belly dancers, Vikings, ninjas, rajas, French maids, Bollywood dancers, Rastafarians, Pocahontas, Aladdin, Zorro, or Thor..."

    Misconceptions about the Nordic Economies

    Misconceptions about the Nordic Economies | Foundation for Economic Education:
    "The Nordic countries are usually mentioned in the Spanish political debate as examples of well-functioning and efficient Welfare States where the government provides citizens with a large range of social benefits.
    (The terms “Nordic” and “Scandinavian” will be employed interchangeably to refer to Sweden, Finland and Denmark. Norway and Iceland are excluded from my analysis.)
    Politicians, especially on the left side of the political spectrum, look at Sweden, Denmark, or Finland as successful social democratic experiments in which social entitlements are guaranteed by the benevolent and caring hand of the State.
    Their existence is conclusive evidence that those who question the sustainability of an unlimited expansion of the Welfare State are wrong.
    However, there exists a generalized misperception about the functioning of the Scandinavian economies.
    They are usually regarded as highly interventionist countries with hyper-regulated economies and very progressive taxation systems in which the upper classes sustain the Welfare State by paying their so-called fair share.
    This widely-extended view is fundamentally wrong for two main reasons. 

    • Firstly, far from being socialistic, the economic recipes that have led Denmark or Sweden to have sustainable Welfare States are those usually identified with the free market: deregulated economies and flexible labor markets. 
    • Secondly, the burdensome taxation system in the Scandinavian countries is rather regressive; hence, the fiscal burden is essentially borne by low and middle classes..."
