Re: Resisting ESG. My employer is woke. Was on the extreme anti-orange man side of things. They hired one of those scam diversity training consultants to preach to us. I used content from her own website and social media posts (explicit stuff like "white patriarchy is oppressive and the cause of all suffering") to explain to my manager that her values were not consistent with my personal beliefs or values and I would therefore prefer not to participate in the sessions. Because he and the corp leadership actually have no spine and weren't prepared for dissent, he just allowed me not to attend. No explicit repercussions, but most of my co-workers know generally what I believe (I'm a conservative Christian) so there's a bit of a stigma.

I’m on the opposite end of the spectrum...I work for an anti-woke organization and have two very woke employees who interact with kids and are pushing the trans agenda. This is in direct contradiction to our belief statement. It’s going to be an interesting year supervising these two. If the don’t change their ways, they may find themselves on their way out. 🙏🙏 for transformation!
Sit down with them and ask them if they really understand the depth of the trans agenda and what the horrific surgeries do to mutilate perfectly healthy children and teens, along with the debilitating effects of puberty blockers. Show them the videos and stories of people pushed to transition when no one bothered to ask what their feelings were. Now their health is ruined and they have a shortened life span. Forget about functioning as the “new” man or woman they were told they would become. Show them the articles of the likes of the Vanderbilt clinic (https://tennesseestar.com/the-tennessee-star/vanderbilts-gender-clinic-doctor-trans-surgeries-make-money-for-the-hospital/sberry/2022/09/21/) that this is a huge profit maker because they will be undergoing surgeries the rest of their shortened lives!! And last but not least, show them the pictures of the mutilations. What they do to a girl/woman to give her a pretend penis and the huge scars from removing their breasts. Show them the scars that will never go away. Most, if not all of these woke folks, have never seen what really happens to these people! Show them the men/boys who are cut from their hips across their stomach to their thighs to get their pretend vagina. They can no longer urinate properly. Have infections all the time. It’s the dirty little secret that is never disclosed to these people brainwashed to transition and the morons thinking they are doing someone a favor by pushing them into it. If companies have the right to indoctrinate people with the woke agenda, then the moral companies can show them the truth.
I just went through this with one of the few liberal friends I have left. She said she could not understand my bud light boycott post and said it was hateful to gay people. I shared the Chloe Cole story. the Wash U whistleblower story, a story that 1 in 10 kids in one district in PA are now identifying as non binary, info on Gays Against Groomers who are totally against this transgender narrative, the interview with a children's hospital doctor by Christopher Rufo saying this is ruining lives, and the interview with the woman who pioneered the use of puberty blockers who now says she was wrong and it should be stopped. Nothing, nada. She just said, oh you can always find a story to support your point of view, but that does not mean I will ever agree with you. She got the shot a few weeks after she had covid (although she did use the zelenko protocol I gave her) saying 'oh that will protect me against new variants' and nothing I could say could convince her otherwise. She has cancelled plans on my 3 times in the past several months as she is always sick with something. Willful blindness IS a thing.
I also call it “intentional ignorance.” We had several friends who got the first jab, got sick, called us and we said stop and take the supplements that were known to fight this virus, then they would call over and over as if they couldn’t control a thing they did. Get a jab, get sick, call about how sick they were, post it on facebook that they got the jab for their fix, then follow the cycle all over again. They are now very debilitated and we even told them that was part of the jabs, but they have lost all common sense. Its obvious these jabs are also warping their thinking as well. My husbands family did the very same thing! They even had the virus and got over it and still took the jabs. The one brother and his wife took the supplements we take and was over it in under a week when we learned they had it and we took them the supplements!! Talk about dense! Their excuse was they wanted to travel and then their twenty year old sons also took it. That would be the day I would inject myself with something like that just to travel.
I believe these kids pretending to be binary are lost souls who are finding this demented way of life comforting and something to belong to no matter how insane it is. Too many parents allow their kids too much freedom on social media with no regard for the sick influences on them, and too many parents think that allowing this is helping them when it is making them mentally ill with these ideas. They don’t make the time to have constructive activities for their kids because they are too consumed with their lives. We had tight reigns on our sons when it came to social media and occupied their time with lots of constructive activities with us, sports that we attended, and all kinds of outdoor activities. We instilled a strong faith in them and all went to church together. Before our church went astray we were all very active together and an integral part of the functions of the church and the services. They have very strong conservative beliefs to this day and have even guided many of their friends. When some of their friends needed an adult to speak to they would bring them to me for guidance if they felt that was what they needed. It’s amazing how many parents just won’t find the time for them for the important things! My time with them is my greatest treasure to this day and now they are in their thirties. Many of their friends still keep in touch with us, stop over with their families or call to say hello. These are the riches of life in my opinion. We have an open door policy that any of them are welcome at any of our picnics or gatherings that we have for all the holidays.
Oh I agree about the social media influence on the mental illness issues, and a lot of this gender stuff is really a cry for help. We limited screen time to an hour a day during the week and 2 hours a day on the weekends until they got to HS age and by then they were busy with school, jobs, activities and such, and most kids did not have smart phones yet when they graduated in '12 and '13, they got flip phones when they were ~14. Our daughter is a socialist though, bur our son is conservative, but pays little attention to current events. Makes family gatherings tenuous, she is prone to storm out if she gets offended but she eventually comes back around. Anyway, I feel for parents with school age kids, it is a tremendous effort to push back on the culture.
Our children are very close in age. Mine graduated 2009 and 2011. I did the same as you with the cell phones. Did your daughter get her attraction to socialism from college? I’ve had numerous friends have that happen. They will regret this path some day. It’s a shame that they won’t even talk about it in most cases. I just saw an article from a former woke woman who said the woke agenda doesn’t allow for actual discussion or learning about what are fighting. She converted to conservatism once she woke up!
Frankly think it probably started in HS, with some of her teachers, who I knew or suspected were lefties but thought her values she learned at home would over-ride that. We live in what used to be a red city (its turned purple sadly), and I mostly trusted the schools. If I knew now what I know then about what goes on in schools, I would have been more vigilant. She was an excellent student, graduated with 22 hours of college credit, while we had to constantly be on my son about his grades and put most of our focus on him. He also was much more open in talking about what went on in his classes, and we talked politics at the dinner table. I'm sure college sealed the deal though, although she ended up dropping out and changing schools & majors 3X before getting an associates, while my son got a bachelors degree in plastics engineering, although it took him 6 years. I think it's a little bit personality. She is a difficult person, always has been even as a child and butted heads with us constantly over everything. We just don't talk about politics around her these days, although it creeps in occasionally. Her husband is a gun enthusiast and she also bought a gun and they belong to a gun club, suspect he is not as liberal as her and he doesn't talk politics either, but he is a good man and makes her happy. Not sure how you are a 2A supporter and liberal but I have just learned to keep my mouth shut to maintain a civil relationship. And I pray, it's pretty much all I can do. She is a grown adult and gets to live with the consequences of her choices.
My sons had some very liberal teachers, but there was one who was the most outspoken. He tried to spew his rhetoric in class. They had his number and would challenge him about his crazy ideas. All I can say is she is very lucky to have a great mom like you. That is rare to have a liberal mindset and also support the second amendment. Maybe there is some hope after all and maybe some of those fellow gun club members will enlighten her along the way.
Yes, one of my son's history teachers (they both had different teachers as he was in regular classes while she was mostly in advanced, except in math) was also a counselor at the Boy Scout camp he attended and later worked at in the summers and got to know him well. He ended up leaving the district my son's senior year due to what he called too much liberal infiltration, and he said most teachers just keep their mouths shut about politics in the teacher's lounge, if they were conservatives. Should have been a red flag, but I again assumed (wrongly) that most of that was not creeping into the curriculum.
there are a few documentaries on YouTube about him, (I saw a woman interviewed about him in an interview with Jordan Peterson). It was a very sad story of a botched circumcision followed by an experiment on one of twins, which ended horribly for the little boy who was operated on and brought up as a girl. He was the psychologist who was responsible and all his theory apparently forms gender theory in textbooks.
See Dillip R (Twitter handle) who last summer spoke about his experience with these surgeries. In the winter he fully 'came out', with his real name, and openly spoke in an interview (Viva Frei?) about having been mentally ill for many years. I was blocked from Twitter about 10 months ago so can offer nothing more.
I have never joined Twitter for obvious reasons and being blocked is one of them! These woke people know nothing about the truth. I’ve read and watched so many stories of people speaking out no matter how painful it is for them because they are now ruined and know their lives have been shortened from these horrific surgeries. All the hospitals, doctors, nurses and other practitioners taking part in this intentional assault on these people should be criminally prosecuted and put away for life. It’s one thing to have an adult walk into these clinics requesting it, its another to do this to children and teens who haven’t been provided the truth. Parents who do this to their children by approving it should also be criminally prosecuted.
I would have joined to see the Tucker program, but just reading here, that Musk gave in to the European censorship, so I will try and read Tucker on other means.
Not on twitter.. aside from boatloads of money.. why is Tucker? Is anyone else skeptical as to why musk and his ceo gobbled up Tucker’s fan base in such a public way?
This is a theory. The first order supposition is that some element within the propertied established order realizes the existential threat potential to their lives and means to existence now posed by the Woke Marxist take-over of America. They are threatened by the insane craziness. The are alarmed that The Franchise (America) is threatened with going out of business with things like the Sanctioning Blunder and Walk-Away (Brics Plus). Mass murder with the covid psyop and the whole muzzling of vast tracts of society are also quite alarming to these folks, what with the over the top terrorizing of society with lock-downs and all of that ... and? Well, these propertied 'stakeholder class' people also know the historical fate of people who are labeled as being Useful Idiots. In short, I believe that there is a 'deep interest' in America that feels threatened and is scared out of their wits. And there is some kind of organized, loose or otherwise, roll back now in progress.
My best case in point example is Musk. First, Elon Musk is establishment, and he is by evidence seen totally connected to all kinds of things. SpaceX, Neurolink and Tesla are all establishment type operations which scream out 'connectedness'. Second is that the Twitter take-over was proceeded by an elaborate road show tour undertaken by Musk to Wall Street's big players. This speaks of some methodically well thought out operation going on. And not only that, DoJ and SEC objections magically dissipated into the mists shortly after that Wall Street tour. Since the Big Money Power runs the world through central banking and Wall Street and London, at least in the Collective West, let it be said that if the Money Power were against the Twitter Take-over, it would never have happened. As to Tucker and his connections, I can't say. But nonetheless, Tucker is riding high on the Twitter Train. And by this I am not saying that Tucker is a puppet completely controlled. Not anything like that. But he is a player, a top order influencer.
To sum, Musk was my first big tell that something new was in motion. Why? Because Twitter was a key node in the information complex. That Radical Woke was put out of business at Twitter is one of the most significant events in our time as to the indication of a possible major change in direction within the power structure now being underway. And by the way, I'm not saying Musk is one of us.
There are other indications of the Musk variety. And as a mention, look for change at the margin ... like people once totally on board with the Agenda now distancing themselves from Woke instruments like the WEF. Jeffrey Sachs would be a prime example of someone now signing a different tune, and no longer ringing out the WEF National Anthem. Definitely not one of us, but perhaps Sachs as compromised as he is now sees the writing on the wall and is heading for the exit. Ya know! Softening some things down, walking other things back a wee bit. Maybe not one of us, but also not the same as a year or two or more ago.
Just look around you, and notice what is going on. Keep an eye on things. Notice if trends in motion keep developing. Look for any shifts this way or not. The world is not the same world after covid and the Ukraine as it was before.
It was fishy when the idea of Elon buying Twits from the get go, one year ago. It has just become worse. The wolves are disguised as free-sheep-speech and, when you look at EM's 'connected-ness', it should give you the clue to run away. Definitely not the whole story and agenda. Wag The Dog, if you ask me.
Agreed! My rule is cooperate when it advances my best interests. But eschew being naive, being swallowed whole. I might like Elon's speaking style. But again, he is not one of us. One big tell is that Elon has not led an exemplary life, especially in his personal life which often shows some really bad judgment and rather poor choices. I'll give him being very smart and hard working.
Unfortunately, we are very often pawns on these people's chessboards. But let them be warned. A pawn which reaches the other side of the chessboard is crowned a Queen, a most powerful piece in the game.
This interesting too, and sent to me by a friend. It is credible because of who Karen Kingston was in her past business life. She mentions Dr. Ana Mihalcea who I been studying for some time, and so a kind of cross confirmation here as well. And we've heard this from others.
The way I understand it, Tucker is not monetized on Twitter and therefore is not making money through that endeavor. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've seen and read this many times. No advertisements, no paywall... anyone can listen without signing up...
Anyone can access Tucker's monologues through the Internet. Not sure why these people can't find it?.....maybe they are still using censored gaggle.( google) They should know better. Gaggle is a large part of the capture.
Let me rephrase that. Why is everybody on the planet focused on a three year old who has fallen down a 20 foot hole in the ground while Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria are burning?
Life isn't always a matter of black and white. My guess is that Tucker thought he could reach the biggest audience by posting it on twitter. My take is that he's genuine, but either doesn't believe or isn't prepared to speak up on some of the things that some people here have become convinced of.
I signed up on rumble which had all episodes, so I hope they continue! I have Brave search, they usually do not censor so I have good hopes! thanks for the tip.
Thank you. I’ve been fighting for the innocent ever since this started. Not one person who has ever promoted it to me has had any information of what really happens to people transitioning. We left our church in 2020 because the diocese now promotes it and wrongly influences the students attending classes. I was a Sunday school teacher for 16 years. When the LGTBQ crap started I told them I will NEVER teach this evil in class and not to even introduce any curriculum that supports it. The most ironic thing was we were a bible based church……so where in the Bible did it say to cause children this kind of harm.
There was no reaching our pastor either! He said, “well you know I don’t think that way.” Well then, he should have put on the Armor of God and stood up to them, but he didn’t. I told him he would regret his decisions some day.
What ever happened to 'the business of business', the traditional practice before the Woke Transformation of America?
There is no need to explain any thing in a non-political, non-weaponized business setting. Corporate Fascism (public/private partnership, weaponized regulatory agencies, public trough funding, lawfare, etc.) needs to be permanently Deep Sixed in America.
I agree with you completely! I am so glad I am retired. I wouldn’t have done well with that indoctrination!! Although they would have gotten an education on it they NEVER bargained for!
I'm not under anybody's thumb either. And had I been, I would not have done well either if it meant giving into the Evil Ones. Gradually, I have come to see how widespread all encompassing is this elite War Against People. We are now being savaged at home like the Deep State/Neocon/CIA had done in other countries with color revolutions, degrading things and even naked agression.
Here is the latest on nanotechnology. It's a lot of hard reading, but at least one can see where some of this is going. And some, maybe a lot of it, is not good for you and me.
National Nanotechnology Initiative Supplement to the Prsesident's 2023 Budget Request
Fortunately I have not me anybody claiming to trans, so I don't know, but how about asking them to "drop em"? If the have male genitalia how can they claim to be female, and vice versa?
Family members infiltrated Christian university and doing the same. You CAN begin to judge a book by its cover... Then you don't usually have to look much deeper.
Good luck with that. Members of certain groups can neither be fired nor released from employment without inspiring lawsuits for "discrimination" et al.
The key is careful documentation of any incidents or below target performance, the coaching and effort to help the employee succeed, and where they still failed to meet expectations. They can still try to sue but likely fail.
Not if you put them on a performance plan and work with them to change said behavior. Show due diligence. Or as in most cases fire them for something else.
One big problem—people have become too lazy (or maybe so stressed by the personal damages they suffer in this crazy new world) to do the hard work of using the tools available to fix these issues. They just take the easy route and roll over.
Those who do the work will get some persecution. Jesus said we would. It’s common to His followers and we have to ‘suck it up’ and push on. The joy of victory in these cases is immense and well worth any suffering.
Joni said: "Sit down with them and ask them if they really understand the depth of the trans agenda and what the horrific surgeries do to mutilate perfectly healthy children and teens, along with the debilitating effects of puberty blockers."
......., or just sit down with them and remind them that their employer is anti-woke, and if they coose not cease and decist immediately they can vacate the premises. Immediately, of course. You can't bargain or negotiate with insanity.
There is a newly released docudrama at gendertransformation.com. Perhaps those two would be willing to watch it with you (or privately) and then discuss.
I’ve had multiple experiences with “they/them” employees in the last few years. With one exception (who is actually a very sweet but odd girl who doesn’t get upset if I forget --usually when speaking to a customer about who will finish their transaction at the register and would feel stupid saying they) these people are not on the lookout for actual work and when forced to perform such are easily sent packing via making them actually work. But I am in a retail pharmacy setting at a very busy 24 hour store. There is NO time to not actually work and we do have very plainly written attendance policies that can be used to get rid of they/them if necessary. I actually had one show up the other night to turn in “her” keys bc “she” needed a few mental health days because “she” was “sexually harassed”on the bus the other day (I do not believe this stupid story because he is actually a quite large and unattractive man who likes to pretend he is a woman married to a woman with children but makes no attempt to look or act like a woman just calls himself one for attention or something). They usually fire themselves has been my experience although it sometimes takes some time for it to happen and can be painful until it does.
Quiet quitting! Try it. My bank is pushing dei and it's a joke. Management is a joke. They have videos that everyone except the butt kissing toadies mute. It firmly backs up my "quiet quitting" philosophy. I have a work ethic and it is hard to override but dei, covid mandates and harassment etc have made it my go to response. They don't deserve a good honest days work. I work like a diversity hire instead. 😉😁
Just realized that Dei is Latin for God, never noticed it before as it's usually all capital letters. Wonder if that was intentional, as in this is you new Lord?
I agree with you on this. Like you, I have a pretty strong work ethic (Gen X). But once this crap started I began to pull back. COVID also made me think about quality of life and work life balance. I can do my entire job in half the time working from home.
Hubs is doing the same thing. I like it...'working like a diversity hire'. I mean, his barely trying beat everyone working it like a rodeo clown. So, now he is doing exactly as you and counting the days until retirement. Literally. ♥
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 *requires* employers to provide reasonable accommodation for employees' sincerely held religious beliefs. Many of us know this first-hand since we aggressively exercised this right to decline taking the Covid jab.
There is absolutely no reason why the same statute cannot be used here. The CRA can be used to opt out of "pride" activities, public training that is degrading or humiliating, even calling others by the biologically wrong pronoun. One key point though is that employees must act respectfully to others, the CRA does not give people the right to taunt people or make fun of them (which we shouldn't be doing anyways). But it does allow us to decline to participate in non-essential activities opposed to our beliefs.
If you already have a covid religious accommodation then your sincere religious beliefs should be a matter of record with your HR department. Hopefully your behavior at work is also a testament to it, if you use profanity, goof off, and lead the 5 PM bar call then sincere religious beliefs is going to be a tough sell. However, if you have a record of being sincere in your beliefs, being courteous to others, and positive performance appraisals then you are in a pretty good position.
Of course none of this matters if the company is led by zealots who don't mind being sued. It also doesn't matter if you aren't willing to sue them if they take action against you. But most company's aren't led by zealots and don't want legal trouble. Look at how the NHL just caved based on a few players publicly declining to participate (and no doubt others privately complaining behind the scenes).
Most of this stuff is presented as mandatory but actually is optional if you are willing to push back and know the law. The problem is most people don't know the law and either act fearfully or shoot their mouths off rather than taking a serious, reasoned approach.
Well stated! Thank you for that! Agree. Until we rise up and say NO - the madness will continue. The power has always been with the people….we just are slow learners, and too afraid to speak up, stand up and rise up!
BTW, all of those NHL players put out a statement emphasizing their respect for all people but that their sincere Christian beliefs did not allow them to participate. The didn't directly invoke the CRA but I'm sure it was clear to the NHL lawyers that was exactly what they were doing.
You may not be aware of it, but if you'll hit the ellipsis at the end of a post, you can go back and edit out autocorrect bloopers without having to repost.
This same things happened to me at the massive company I work with. Misery loves company. I have now been passed over for not 1, but 2 promotions I would have easily rec'd just 2 years ago.

I think it's a little bit personality. She is a difficult person, always has been even as a child and butted heads with us constantly over everything. We just don't talk about politics around her these days, although it creeps in occasionally. Her husband is a gun enthusiast and she also bought a gun and they belong to a gun club, suspect he is not as liberal as her and he doesn't talk politics either, but he is a good man and makes her happy. Not sure how you are a 2A supporter and liberal but I have just learned to keep my mouth shut to maintain a civil relationship. And I pray, it's pretty much all I can do. She is a grown adult and gets to live with the consequences of her choices.
My sons had some very liberal teachers, but there was one who was the most outspoken. He tried to spew his rhetoric in class. They had his number and would challenge him about his crazy ideas. All I can say is she is very lucky to have a great mom like you. That is rare to have a liberal mindset and also support the second amendment. Maybe there is some hope after all and maybe some of those fellow gun club members will enlighten her along the way.
Yes, one of my son's history teachers (they both had different teachers as he was in regular classes while she was mostly in advanced, except in math) was also a counselor at the Boy Scout camp he attended and later worked at in the summers and got to know him well. He ended up leaving the district my son's senior year due to what he called too much liberal infiltration, and he said most teachers just keep their mouths shut about politics in the teacher's lounge, if they were conservatives. Should have been a red flag, but I again assumed (wrongly) that most of that was not creeping into the curriculum.
You dear lady, are the essence of a Christian. I have tremendous admiration for you and look forward to meeting you in the C&C heavenly coffee shop!
I am so touched by your comment. Thank you so much and I too will look forward to meeting you someday in the heavenly coffee shop!
Thank you for sharing! Seems to be common sense, tho today common sense isn’t common.
Have them listen to Matt Walsh's opening monologue from yesterday. Powerful and informative. He's such an important voice in the fight!
also look into John money
Who is John Money?
there are a few documentaries on YouTube about him, (I saw a woman interviewed about him in an interview with Jordan Peterson). It was a very sad story of a botched circumcision followed by an experiment on one of twins, which ended horribly for the little boy who was operated on and brought up as a girl. He was the psychologist who was responsible and all his theory apparently forms gender theory in textbooks.
Oh my....
Where can one hear this?
He's on spotify... really good listening!
Thank you
See Dillip R (Twitter handle) who last summer spoke about his experience with these surgeries. In the winter he fully 'came out', with his real name, and openly spoke in an interview (Viva Frei?) about having been mentally ill for many years. I was blocked from Twitter about 10 months ago so can offer nothing more.
I have never joined Twitter for obvious reasons and being blocked is one of them! These woke people know nothing about the truth. I’ve read and watched so many stories of people speaking out no matter how painful it is for them because they are now ruined and know their lives have been shortened from these horrific surgeries. All the hospitals, doctors, nurses and other practitioners taking part in this intentional assault on these people should be criminally prosecuted and put away for life. It’s one thing to have an adult walk into these clinics requesting it, its another to do this to children and teens who haven’t been provided the truth. Parents who do this to their children by approving it should also be criminally prosecuted.
I would have joined to see the Tucker program, but just reading here, that Musk gave in to the European censorship, so I will try and read Tucker on other means.
Not on twitter.. aside from boatloads of money.. why is Tucker? Is anyone else skeptical as to why musk and his ceo gobbled up Tucker’s fan base in such a public way?
This is a theory. The first order supposition is that some element within the propertied established order realizes the existential threat potential to their lives and means to existence now posed by the Woke Marxist take-over of America. They are threatened by the insane craziness. The are alarmed that The Franchise (America) is threatened with going out of business with things like the Sanctioning Blunder and Walk-Away (Brics Plus). Mass murder with the covid psyop and the whole muzzling of vast tracts of society are also quite alarming to these folks, what with the over the top terrorizing of society with lock-downs and all of that ... and? Well, these propertied 'stakeholder class' people also know the historical fate of people who are labeled as being Useful Idiots. In short, I believe that there is a 'deep interest' in America that feels threatened and is scared out of their wits. And there is some kind of organized, loose or otherwise, roll back now in progress.
My best case in point example is Musk. First, Elon Musk is establishment, and he is by evidence seen totally connected to all kinds of things. SpaceX, Neurolink and Tesla are all establishment type operations which scream out 'connectedness'. Second is that the Twitter take-over was proceeded by an elaborate road show tour undertaken by Musk to Wall Street's big players. This speaks of some methodically well thought out operation going on. And not only that, DoJ and SEC objections magically dissipated into the mists shortly after that Wall Street tour. Since the Big Money Power runs the world through central banking and Wall Street and London, at least in the Collective West, let it be said that if the Money Power were against the Twitter Take-over, it would never have happened. As to Tucker and his connections, I can't say. But nonetheless, Tucker is riding high on the Twitter Train. And by this I am not saying that Tucker is a puppet completely controlled. Not anything like that. But he is a player, a top order influencer.
To sum, Musk was my first big tell that something new was in motion. Why? Because Twitter was a key node in the information complex. That Radical Woke was put out of business at Twitter is one of the most significant events in our time as to the indication of a possible major change in direction within the power structure now being underway. And by the way, I'm not saying Musk is one of us.
There are other indications of the Musk variety. And as a mention, look for change at the margin ... like people once totally on board with the Agenda now distancing themselves from Woke instruments like the WEF. Jeffrey Sachs would be a prime example of someone now signing a different tune, and no longer ringing out the WEF National Anthem. Definitely not one of us, but perhaps Sachs as compromised as he is now sees the writing on the wall and is heading for the exit. Ya know! Softening some things down, walking other things back a wee bit. Maybe not one of us, but also not the same as a year or two or more ago.
Just look around you, and notice what is going on. Keep an eye on things. Notice if trends in motion keep developing. Look for any shifts this way or not. The world is not the same world after covid and the Ukraine as it was before.
It was fishy when the idea of Elon buying Twits from the get go, one year ago. It has just become worse. The wolves are disguised as free-sheep-speech and, when you look at EM's 'connected-ness', it should give you the clue to run away. Definitely not the whole story and agenda. Wag The Dog, if you ask me.
Agreed! My rule is cooperate when it advances my best interests. But eschew being naive, being swallowed whole. I might like Elon's speaking style. But again, he is not one of us. One big tell is that Elon has not led an exemplary life, especially in his personal life which often shows some really bad judgment and rather poor choices. I'll give him being very smart and hard working.
Unfortunately, we are very often pawns on these people's chessboards. But let them be warned. A pawn which reaches the other side of the chessboard is crowned a Queen, a most powerful piece in the game.
EM (Space-X) is one of, if not thee biggest in the MIC.
Very interesting
This interesting too, and sent to me by a friend. It is credible because of who Karen Kingston was in her past business life. She mentions Dr. Ana Mihalcea who I been studying for some time, and so a kind of cross confirmation here as well. And we've heard this from others.

I asked in a comment a couple of days ago why T.C. is on Twitter, and why are Scott Ritter and many others still banned?
This tells me everything I need to know about both T.C and E.M. Both of them make money on it.
......, and besides, the key word is limited hangout. It is the most dangerous type of propaganda there is.
The way I understand it, Tucker is not monetized on Twitter and therefore is not making money through that endeavor. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've seen and read this many times. No advertisements, no paywall... anyone can listen without signing up...
Maggie, you are right.
Anyone can access Tucker's monologues through the Internet. Not sure why these people can't find it?.....maybe they are still using censored gaggle.( google) They should know better. Gaggle is a large part of the capture.
Yeah, but then take into consideration what he talks about. Or even more importantly, what he DOEN'T talk about.
Let me rephrase that. Why is everybody on the planet focused on a three year old who has fallen down a 20 foot hole in the ground while Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria are burning?
Platform for Tucker to get to the Public! You don't need Twitter. I don't have yet I watch Tucker.
Life isn't always a matter of black and white. My guess is that Tucker thought he could reach the biggest audience by posting it on twitter. My take is that he's genuine, but either doesn't believe or isn't prepared to speak up on some of the things that some people here have become convinced of.
... just my 2c. *shrug*
The Tucker videos are often posted on Rumble. Here's the latest one.
https://rumble.com/v2veb54-tucker-ep.-5-its-safer-to-be-the-president-son-then-his-opponent.html
thanks ! I have a rumble link somewhere in my computer but where LOL
The channel is on rumble:
https://rumble.com/c/TuckeronTwitter
You can join to read but not participate.
Tucker talks are publicly available of course, other then on Twitter. Just type it in your search engine box. Not Google. They censor of course.
I signed up on rumble which had all episodes, so I hope they continue! I have Brave search, they usually do not censor so I have good hopes! thanks for the tip.
Searched on Twitter; so many Dillips & dillip R’s. Don’t see whom you mentioned. Maybe he left Twitter
Your comment is so good and specific. I started feeling weak at the end...it’s so horrific.
Thank you. I’ve been fighting for the innocent ever since this started. Not one person who has ever promoted it to me has had any information of what really happens to people transitioning. We left our church in 2020 because the diocese now promotes it and wrongly influences the students attending classes. I was a Sunday school teacher for 16 years. When the LGTBQ crap started I told them I will NEVER teach this evil in class and not to even introduce any curriculum that supports it. The most ironic thing was we were a bible based church……so where in the Bible did it say to cause children this kind of harm.
Wow. Your former church has neglected Jesus teaching about millstones around the necks of those who prevent children from coming to him.
There was no reaching our pastor either! He said, “well you know I don’t think that way.” Well then, he should have put on the Armor of God and stood up to them, but he didn’t. I told him he would regret his decisions some day.
satan has certainly catalogued all who folded so quickly in the last few years. A crucible perhaps?
I’ve been amazed at the capitulation of so many leaders in all fields of life. It’s gonna be easy peasy for the anti-Christ & false prophet
What ever happened to 'the business of business', the traditional practice before the Woke Transformation of America?
There is no need to explain any thing in a non-political, non-weaponized business setting. Corporate Fascism (public/private partnership, weaponized regulatory agencies, public trough funding, lawfare, etc.) needs to be permanently Deep Sixed in America.
I agree with you completely! I am so glad I am retired. I wouldn’t have done well with that indoctrination!! Although they would have gotten an education on it they NEVER bargained for!
I'm not under anybody's thumb either. And had I been, I would not have done well either if it meant giving into the Evil Ones. Gradually, I have come to see how widespread all encompassing is this elite War Against People. We are now being savaged at home like the Deep State/Neocon/CIA had done in other countries with color revolutions, degrading things and even naked agression.
Here is the latest on nanotechnology. It's a lot of hard reading, but at least one can see where some of this is going. And some, maybe a lot of it, is not good for you and me.

Fortunately I have not me anybody claiming to trans, so I don't know, but how about asking them to "drop em"? If the have male genitalia how can they claim to be female, and vice versa?

It's the proselytizing to children that's criminal, imho.
Leave the kids alone!
The kids were always the ultimate goal.
how else can they propagate? The only to increase their ranks is to proselytize children and brainwash youth
Get the younger ones & you change the culture. Guess that’s their motto
Family members infiltrated Christian university and doing the same. You CAN begin to judge a book by its cover... Then you don't usually have to look much deeper.
Yikes. I've suspected this kind of thing was happening but that's pretty disturbing.
Good luck with that. Members of certain groups can neither be fired nor released from employment without inspiring lawsuits for "discrimination" et al.
The key is careful documentation of any incidents or below target performance, the coaching and effort to help the employee succeed, and where they still failed to meet expectations. They can still try to sue but likely fail.
Not if you put them on a performance plan and work with them to change said behavior. Show due diligence. Or as in most cases fire them for something else.
Agree. Document all performance.
One big problem—people have become too lazy (or maybe so stressed by the personal damages they suffer in this crazy new world) to do the hard work of using the tools available to fix these issues. They just take the easy route and roll over.
Those who do the work will get some persecution. Jesus said we would. It’s common to His followers and we have to ‘suck it up’ and push on. The joy of victory in these cases is immense and well worth any suffering.
Fortunately, I work for an “at will” organization, so it’s not as difficult ;).
Joni said: "Sit down with them and ask them if they really understand the depth of the trans agenda and what the horrific surgeries do to mutilate perfectly healthy children and teens, along with the debilitating effects of puberty blockers."
......., or just sit down with them and remind them that their employer is anti-woke, and if they coose not cease and decist immediately they can vacate the premises. Immediately, of course. You can't bargain or negotiate with insanity.
There is a newly released docudrama at gendertransformation.com. Perhaps those two would be willing to watch it with you (or privately) and then discuss.
I’ve had multiple experiences with “they/them” employees in the last few years. With one exception (who is actually a very sweet but odd girl who doesn’t get upset if I forget --usually when speaking to a customer about who will finish their transaction at the register and would feel stupid saying they) these people are not on the lookout for actual work and when forced to perform such are easily sent packing via making them actually work. But I am in a retail pharmacy setting at a very busy 24 hour store. There is NO time to not actually work and we do have very plainly written attendance policies that can be used to get rid of they/them if necessary. I actually had one show up the other night to turn in “her” keys bc “she” needed a few mental health days because “she” was “sexually harassed”on the bus the other day (I do not believe this stupid story because he is actually a quite large and unattractive man who likes to pretend he is a woman married to a woman with children but makes no attempt to look or act like a woman just calls himself one for attention or something). They usually fire themselves has been my experience although it sometimes takes some time for it to happen and can be painful until it does.
I love your “handle”. It’s what was poured over Jesus’ head. I have a bottle of it; It has a very pleasant aroma.
Quiet quitting! Try it. My bank is pushing dei and it's a joke. Management is a joke. They have videos that everyone except the butt kissing toadies mute. It firmly backs up my "quiet quitting" philosophy. I have a work ethic and it is hard to override but dei, covid mandates and harassment etc have made it my go to response. They don't deserve a good honest days work. I work like a diversity hire instead. 😉😁
Just realized that Dei is Latin for God, never noticed it before as it's usually all capital letters. Wonder if that was intentional, as in this is you new Lord?
Just switch it to DIE like others do and go with that
Yep…they go there to DIE.
I agree with you on this. Like you, I have a pretty strong work ethic (Gen X). But once this crap started I began to pull back. COVID also made me think about quality of life and work life balance. I can do my entire job in half the time working from home.
Hubs is doing the same thing. I like it...'working like a diversity hire'. I mean, his barely trying beat everyone working it like a rodeo clown. So, now he is doing exactly as you and counting the days until retirement. Literally. ♥
I get you! Been there, came to that realization, and did it. No point in trying to set a good example to the ‘unreachable and unteachable’. Screw ‘em!
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 *requires* employers to provide reasonable accommodation for employees' sincerely held religious beliefs. Many of us know this first-hand since we aggressively exercised this right to decline taking the Covid jab.
There is absolutely no reason why the same statute cannot be used here. The CRA can be used to opt out of "pride" activities, public training that is degrading or humiliating, even calling others by the biologically wrong pronoun. One key point though is that employees must act respectfully to others, the CRA does not give people the right to taunt people or make fun of them (which we shouldn't be doing anyways). But it does allow us to decline to participate in non-essential activities opposed to our beliefs.
If you already have a covid religious accommodation then your sincere religious beliefs should be a matter of record with your HR department. Hopefully your behavior at work is also a testament to it, if you use profanity, goof off, and lead the 5 PM bar call then sincere religious beliefs is going to be a tough sell. However, if you have a record of being sincere in your beliefs, being courteous to others, and positive performance appraisals then you are in a pretty good position.
Of course none of this matters if the company is led by zealots who don't mind being sued. It also doesn't matter if you aren't willing to sue them if they take action against you. But most company's aren't led by zealots and don't want legal trouble. Look at how the NHL just caved based on a few players publicly declining to participate (and no doubt others privately complaining behind the scenes).
Most of this stuff is presented as mandatory but actually is optional if you are willing to push back and know the law. The problem is most people don't know the law and either act fearfully or shoot their mouths off rather than taking a serious, reasoned approach.
Well stated! Thank you for that! Agree. Until we rise up and say NO - the madness will continue. The power has always been with the people….we just are slow learners, and too afraid to speak up, stand up and rise up!
BTW, all of those NHL players put out a statement emphasizing their respect for all people but that their sincere Christian beliefs did not allow them to participate. The didn't directly invoke the CRA but I'm sure it was clear to the NHL lawyers that was exactly what they were doing.
Jesus - I'm glad I'm retired.....
That's nice that you gave thanks to our Savior for your retirement.
Yes. He showed me how to navigate the perils of life!
Seems like you might have material on which to base a civil rights racial/religious discrimination complaint.
We’ll done!
Well done! Stupid autocorrect.
You may not be aware of it, but if you'll hit the ellipsis at the end of a post, you can go back and edit out autocorrect bloopers without having to repost.
That’s helpful. Thanks!
Good for you, Keith. You are what I would call a real man...with a healthy spine!
BRAVO, Keith! Well done!!
This same things happened to me at the massive company I work with. Misery loves company. I have now been passed over for not 1, but 2 promotions I would have easily rec'd just 2 years ago.
