DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) has now penetrated the deepest recesses of STEM academia and corporatist organizations of all hues. As theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss reports in the 21oct21 WSJ, applicants for teaching positions at major universities and corporatist management positions must now submit an essay on DEI with their applications. And they will be evaluated first and foremost on the contents of what should read like a heartfelt testament for the verity of critical race theory and its anti-racist therapeutics. Added to that, the applicant must include how he will incorporate the practice of the DEI monomania into his conduct of the sought position. As an example, an addition to the usual list of qualifications, the applicant must also supply “a statement of diversity, equity and inclusion describing the applicant’s efforts and aspirations to promote equity, inclusion and diversity through teaching, research and service.” Today these organizations have huge DEI departments staffed with zealous STASIs who not only evaluate applications, but also monitor the practice of DEI by the institution’s staff. It is now common for applications to be rejected for insufficient DEI even before the applicant’s other qualifications are even considered.

The coordinated calamity of climate change is heralded by all the western media in preparation of next month’s Glasgow conference that will not be attended by the leaders of China, Russia, and India. In America the lamestream is reeling of stories of impending catastrophes of famine, flood, and fire. Bjorn Lomborg analyses these for us (here), and points out how the described “catastrophic scenarios presuppose people will do nothing to adjust to differences in the weather.” No matter what one thinks about the notion of preventable manmade global warming, doing such passive extrapolations decades into the future is nothing short of politicized scaremongering. It is carried out regularly by the usual leftwing outlets such as CNN, USA Today, and WaPo. Lomborg’s message to the sheeple is that yes, the climate changes, but so can we.
Biden’s taxes avoid the top 0.1%. Why? Because that cohort knows how to play the legal exemptions game – always has, always will. The taxes are really designed to start with the remaining top 9.9% and then quickly ripple down to the tens of millions of middle-class earners (aka makers). And it makes perfect sense, since the lying sacks of shit (aka Biden, Pelosi, Psaki, …), claiming that the trillions to be spent are “free”, know where to get all this free money. This is clear from what little we know of the Democrats’ proposed $5T+ spending spree. (more here)
