Ancients might sacrifice animals or even people to prove their “goodness.” Muslims today may beat themselves bloody during Ashura. Modern secular academics may do it differently:

They sacrifice Truth while bloodying our history and human relations with divisive confessions of “white privilege” and racial guilt.

Enter Crystal Duncan Lane, Ph.D., a professor who teaches in Virginia Tech University’s Department of Human Development and Family Science. Lane has been pushing students to tackle “racism” and “inherent bias.” She also issued an über-woke mea culpa in her Human Development 1134 syllabus in which she apologized to “students of color” for her whiteness and sex normalcy and stated that her privileged life is an “injustice” she didn’t ask for.

Whether or not she’s planning to give her high-paying position to a non-white person, which many would say is the next logical step, was not reported.

Lane’s apology appeared in a “Who I Am” section in her syllabus. It reads in full:

China has been condemned for harvesting organs for profit. But it turns out that Beijing has nothing on our federal government, as records reveal that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration was purchasing babies’ heads and other body parts for its “humanized mice” project.

The gory details are found in hundreds of pages of records acquired under a Freedom of Information Act case brought by watchdog group Judicial Watch. Ghoulishly, the government even demanded that the body parts be “fresh and never frozen.” What’s more, a court has found that the FDA’s actions very well might have violated federal law.

It’s perhaps no surprise that those who don’t acknowledge the true “science” on COVID also wouldn’t acknowledge the reality on elections. But so it is with the California recall results, which have Democrats crowing that the outcome was a vindication of COVID-19 restrictions and a repudiation of “Trumpism.”

In fact, some leftists claim it’s a green light to run on continued lockdowns, mask mandates, and COVID Ritual in general. In response, some conservatives may be saying, “Don’t threaten us with a good time.”

As most know, failing Democrat governor Gavin Newsom prevailed in the recall effort by a wide margin, approximately 64 to 36 percent as of this writing. This set the spin machine into high gear.

“We are watching the fall of liberty at this moment.” So wrote US Army Lieutenant Colonel Paul Douglas Hague in a resignation letter, penned after 19 years of service and motivated partially by Joe Biden’s “vaccine” mandate.

Citing other reasons for relinquishing his passion and pension, the former “ROTC kid” mentioned not only a “complete lack of confidence in the presidential administration,” but also that at this very moment there’s “an ideologically Marxist takeover of the military and United States government.”

What’s more, the exit of patriots such as Hague will only accelerate this process.

It’s not Dr. Josef Mengele experimenting on twins or WWII-era Japanese scientists vivisecting people without anesthesia. But one writer contends that our government’s attempt to foist experimental “vaccines” on the people is only different in degree, not kind. In fact, J.B. Shurk explicitly states that by making COVID-19 genetic-therapy agents (GTAs, a.k.a. vaccines) mandatory under threat of career destruction and ostracism, the Joe Biden administration is guilty of war crimes.

Writing at American Thinker, Shurk begins by quoting Biden stating, “We are going to protect the vaccinated workers from unvaccinated coworkers.” That’s a switch. Just over a month ago, CDC head Rochelle Walensky and other leftists insisted that even vaccinated people should mask up to protect the unvaccinated. In other words, the government claimed the unvaccinated were imperiled, not the vaccinated.

Has the virus since then decided to direct its wrath at those who’d dare “vaccinate” against it?

Is America’s old civic order about to be swept away and replaced with a new, and as yet unknown, one in a “Fourth Turning”?

It’s not news to any engaged person that we live in unprecedented times for the American republic, with burgeoning technology combined with collapsing morality, a cross-border invasion, balkanization, unrest, a cold civil war, insurmountable debt, disease (though exaggerated), increasing tyranny, a faltering family, and waning faith.

It’s also not news that civilizations don’t last forever (though China and India have endured well) and that governments are shorter lived still.

For the record, I’ve not only opposed our Mideast military adventures but also, in 2007, wrote an article warning about the folly of “nation-building.” Yet I also know that if you are going to overthrow a tyrannical regime and remake the government, a prerequisite is winning the hearts and minds of the people. You must also note that you “never change things by fighting the existing reality,” as famed architect Buckminster Fuller observed. “To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”

Now, when the Nazis invaded the USSR during WWII, they initially encountered some people who hoped they’d free them from Stalin’s brutal rule. Adolf Hitler was very blunt about his disinterest in winning hearts and minds, however, reportedly saying that he came not as a liberator, but a conqueror.

What of America in Afghanistan, however? Were we replacing the dreaded Taliban government (which the Biden administration now thinks it can work with) with a better model? And from the Afghans’ perspective, did we come as liberators or cultural conquerors?

Biologist and ex-professor Bret Weinstein was first targeted when, in 2017, he refused to comply with a request that he and other whites should leave his college’s campus for a day. More recently, YouTube demonetized him for being skeptical of COVID genetic-therapy agents (GTAs, a.k.a. “vaccines”) and advocating ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine for preventing and treating the disease. Despite this, Weinstein apparently subscribes to the maxim “Never attribute to malice what is better explained by stupidity,” as he interprets the obsession with pushing the GTAs as part of a “noble lie” gone wrong.

It’s sadly ironic that on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, which the Biden administration presumably hoped would mark a triumphant withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Taliban can instead celebrate a triumphant return to power.

In America, however, today isn’t a time to tout victories but commemorate the losses of parents and siblings and children and heroes, and official ceremonies are underway across the country. Rocker Bruce Springstein moved viewers to tears with what’s described as a “haunting” performance at the World Trade Center memorial plaza; President Trump visited with Big Apple police officers and released a video message; and Joe Biden is going to appear at all three sites attacked 20 years ago, in New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

Then there’s former president G.W. Bush. He was less than a year into his first term when 19 Muslim jihadists hijacked four airplanes on Tuesday, September 11, 2001, crashing two into the World Trade Center and one into the Pentagon; the fourth, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, when passengers and crew bravely took physical action to thwart the terrorists. Bush gave a speech at a Shanksville service Saturday, honoring those fallen heroes. “Today, we remember your loss, we share your sorrow, and we honor the men and women you have loved so long and so well,” he stated.

The ex-president also had a warning and a lament, however.
