Somali-born Ayaan Hirsi Ali Says America is the Best Place in the World to be Black and be a Woman

That is what the highly respected author and activist told Tucker Carlson recently at Fox Nation.

Not surprisingly, she is imploring Americans to organize against critical race theory.

Hirsi Ali also calls out the “corrupt” Southern Poverty Law Center that has targeted her on its infamous Hate list.

(Just for the record, I am also a target of the SPLC as they have labeled Refugee Resettlement Watch, my other blog, as a hate group.  Never mind that RRW is not a group.  Details like that don’t matter when they are using fear to raise money!)

Here is the news from Fox:

America ‘best place in world’ to be female, Black, gay, trans: Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Somali-Dutch scholar and activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali strongly criticized the increasing presence of critical race theory and racial politics in the United States, commenting that as a Black woman, the United States is the best nation in the world for minority rights on the part of both race and gender.

Too funny! Last summer Hirsi Ali (left) challenged MN Rep. Ilhan Omar by asking her, “Why Flee Mogadishu and then … turn Minnesota and US into Mogadishu?”  Good question!

 

Ali, who was the victim of the regional custom of genital mutilation and later became a women rights activist speaking out against such customs; after her father shepherded her family out of Somalia, said on Fox Nation’s “Tucker Carlson Today” that those who preach division and theories of inequality do not recognize America’s unique standing as a beacon for the oppressed — rather than a feature of oppression.

“That’s what’s so great about America is that a lot of these things have actually been achieved; equality between men and women, it’s the best place in the world to be female, it’s the best place in the world to be Black, it’s the best place in the world to be gay, trans, whatever you want to be,” she told host Tucker Carlson.

I read Hirsi Ali’s ‘Infidel’ when it came out in 2007 and it had a great influence on my thinking at a time when Muslim refugees, like Ilhan Omar, were being spread throughout America.

“That is America. What do we do with all those achievements if you still want to keep an organization going and still want to get money from donors.”

Ali said that institutions like to “invent” new problems that don’t otherwise exist, or at least not to the drastic extent they are advertised to be.

“If you still want to keep the organization going and still want to get money from donors, you start to invent new stories and new problems. And you come up with things like Islamophobia,” said Ali, who was born Muslim but later became an atheist.

Southern Poverty Law Center scammers….

She added that one example is the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center, which claims to identify hate groups and hateful individuals – which had put her and former radical Islamist Maajid Nawaz – who went on to found an organization called Quilliam dedicated to counter-extremism and empowerment of moderate theism – on a suspicious “list.”

[….]

“The SPLC … put us on a list which looked a bit like a hit list, I have to say. Because if you are on that list, you make it very easy for those people who may not constantly be making their own lists to go after you,” she said.

“So in many ways, they’re sinister, they’re wrong, they’re corrupt, and the corruption is trying to take people’s money, vulnerable people’s money to pretend that they’re fighting for something that they actually are not fighting for.”

Ali told Carlson that it is important for people to organize instead to counter things like critical race theory with critical thinking.

[….]

“When Black people in America were subjected to slavery and all sorts of humiliation, they were able to wave those documents [our founding documents—ed] to fight for their dignity, their equality, their freedom — That’s a unique thing — that’s what I try to tell Americans: You don’t have that in Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia or even any of those European countries: It’s unique to America.”

Throwing Kisses to Frank Miele!

“The establishment declared war on me… when it told me my ideas weren’t worthy of debate and discussion or that they were even so dangerous they couldn’t be shared publicly.”

(Frank Miele)

An opinion piece at Real Clear Politics is the most important thing you can read this week!

Buy it somewhere other than at Amazon! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54388458-how-we-got-here

As I write this I am so proud to say that I met Mr. Miele in Montana in 2016.  I don’t know if he remembers me, but I am so thrilled to see this absolutely spot-on piece about where we are today.

In the last few days I have found myself fuming over the Other Sides’ bullying tactics. How about you?  Everywhere you turn you are told to keep you politics to yourself.

How often have I heard in recent weeks, especially since January 6th, that those of us who believe in the Constitution, support Donald Trump, question the results of the 2020 election, and are conservatives in the way we view the world are being bullied into silence, from family members, from neighbors, on social media and from people we hardly know or never met!

I have never once told someone they weren’t permitted to tell me their political views, why the heck do they think they have a right to shame us and tell us to shut up!

Frank Miele, the retired editor of the Daily Inter Lake in Kalispell Montana, and author of ‘How we got here. The Left’s Assault on the Constitution‘ helps us understand exactly what is being done to us.

Enemies of the State vs. Enemies of the People

I didn’t declare war on the establishment; it declared war on me.

It declared war on me when it supported energy policies that could enrich Saudi Arabia and Russia and would cost me more money at the gas pump or on my power bill.

It declared war on me when it told me my ideas weren’t worthy of debate and discussion or that they were even so dangerous they couldn’t be shared publicly.

It declared war on me when it used the police powers of the FBI and CIA to first spy on a presidential candidate and then worked to undermine the administration of that candidate after he was elected.

It declared war on me when it told me my religious beliefs did not deserve the protection of the First Amendment.

Continue reading his list! Then this:

Let’s just say it plainly: The establishment declared war on me and on all conservative Americans when it decided that leftist orthodoxy was more important than the Constitution.

Don’t believe me? Fine, why should you believe a Trump supporter? You’ve been indoctrinated by the national media, Big Tech oligarchs, the Democratic Party, and academic elites to believe without questioning that people like me can’t be trusted.

[….]

This “guilt by labeling” is the antithesis of fair play or justice. It is a convenient mechanism for the ruling class to herd people into identity clusters so that individual rights can be supplanted by group responsibility. If this reminds you of China’s Cultural Revolution, you are not wrong. The ruling class wants you to conform, confirm and comply. If you step outside the lines, be prepared to be shamed, silenced and ostracized.

By the way, I am reading that above as I learned yesterday that once again the Southern Poverty Law Center, attempting to intimidate me into silence, has called me a “hate group.”

Yeh, just me at my other blog Refugee Resettlement Watch, but more on that later.

Never mind that there is no group they are calling a group—just me!

Now go to Mr. Miele’s closing paragraphs including this one….

No wonder the people are starting to rise up and rebel against the plutocracy.

(A plutocracy is government by the wealthy.)

Keep speaking, keep writing, keep communicating and never let them shut you up.  The next time you are told at a family gathering or other social event to keep your politics to yourself say politely that you don’t plan to stay silent anymore!  WE have nothing to be ashamed of!

On Gab the other day, I saw a suggestion that I thought was a good one.  Find every avenue you can on e-mail chains, social media, your local newspaper, whatever, and use them all to spread a conservative, America First! message.

Media Matters Does What They Think is Major Hit Piece on Delaware Senate Candidate

But, their hysterical, vitriolic piece is a treasure trove of information that many of you will find useful.

Republican Senate Candidate Lauren Witzke wants a MORATORIUM on immigration to America!

Perhaps the most valuable reason for you to read their screed against the remarkable Lauren Witzke is so you know where you might find information on who the Hard Left/Marxists hate the most.

It looks like the news site VDARE is at the top of their list.

Someone asked me yesterday about why anyone would sign up for news alerts from the likes of CAIR (for example) or Media Matters, and of course it is because you must know about the enemy and what they are doing and saying.

So here is Media Matters going after a long-shot Senate candidate in Joe Biden’s Delaware linking her to their most feared boogeymen—white nationalists.

Since calling someone a “racist” is losing its power, the Left has settled on “white nationalist” as the next best epithet that could cause good/weak people (they hope) to run in horror.

GOP-backed Senate candidate Lauren Witzke frequently shares content from white nationalist site VDare

 

U.S. Senate candidate Lauren Witzke has frequently shared content from VDare, a leading white nationalist site that also pushes anti-Semitism. Witzke, a QAnon supporter who also has the backing of the Delaware Republican Party, has additionally twice thanked anti-Semitic commentator Faith Goldy for supporting her campaign.

Witzke is a Republican who is running a longshot campaign against Democratic incumbent Sen. Chris Coons. She has expressed support for QAnon and recently defended the conspiracy theory as “just a bunch of people who want pedophiles held accountable and from what I understand it’s absolutely harmless.” In reality, the conspiracy theory has been repeatedly linked to acts of violence and the FBI has labeled it a potential domestic terror threat.

This is what the Soros-backed Media Matters is most afraid of!

One of Witzke’s main policy plans is “a full 10-year moratorium on all immigration,” a proposal that VDaresupports.

VDare is a white nationalist site that heavily attacks immigrants. The Southern Poverty Law Center states that it “regularly publishes articles by prominent white nationalists, race scientists and anti-Semites.”

VDare publishes posts that carry such headlines as: “One Problem With These Hispanic Immigrants Is Their Disgusting Behavior,” “Indians Aren’t That Intelligent (On Average),” “Diversity Is Strength! It’s Also…Hispanic Immigrants Taking Over FBI’s Ten Most Wanted,” “America Does Not Need ANY Immigrants From Africa,” and “Roll Over, JIHAD—There’s Also HIJRA, Muslim Conquest By Immigration.”

Southern Poverty Law Center Publishes “Extremist File” on Trump Advisor Stephen Miller

The SPLC actually does us a service by letting us know more about White House advisor Stephen Miller, one of the few Trump advisors to survive nearly four years in the President’s orbit.

Of course the SPLC doesn’t publish its “Extremist File” for our benefit (they use it to scare money out of gullible rich people***), but I found this an interesting read.  All you have to do is skip over the writer’s snark and spin and find the events of Miller’s life edifying.

I had to laugh especially when the SPLC blasts Miller for supporting the Duke Lacrosse players when rape allegations ruined their lives, but never mentions that the players were exonerated and Miller was right!

Editor:  I had this post ready to go early yesterday before my internet went out for the third time in recent months, so sorry if you have sent e-mails or comments and I missed them.  I’m back on line at least for now.

 

See Miller’s profile:

Stephen Miller is credited with shaping the racist and draconian immigration policies of President Trump, which include the zero-tolerance policy, also known as family separation, the Muslim ban and ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Miller has also “purged” government agencies of civil servants who are not entirely loyal to his extremist agenda, according to a report in Vanity Fair.

Miller with former boss Senator Jeff Sessions. “In the spring of 2013, Miller and Sessions played a key role in ensuring the failure of a comprehensive immigration bill introduced by a bipartisan group of senators who became known as the Gang of Eight. “

And during the COVID-19 crisis, the Trump administration’s decision to halt the issuance of new green cards is yet another example of its hard line on immigration.

Through the conscious use of fearmongering and xenophobia, Miller implements policies which demonize immigrants, regardless of their immigration status, in an apparent effort to halt all forms of immigration to the United States.

[….]

Through his connections to the anti-Muslim movement, Miller landed his first job in Washington, D.C. as a staffer on Capitol Hill. In less than a decade, Miller would go from a congressional staffer to an adviser to the Trump campaign.

During this time, Miller influenced the editorial direction of the highly trafficked conservative website Breitbart.com, sharing white nationalist and anti-immigrant propaganda with their editors in an effort to buoy Trump’s run, according to leaked emails reviewed by Hatewatch. His role in the campaign included crafting then-candidate Trump’s nativist immigration platform, writing campaign speeches as well as being the opening speaker during rallies.

[….]

At a June 16, 2016, campaign rally in Dallas, Miller’s speech made clear the campaign then-candidate Trump was going to run and foreshadowed the nativist policies Miller and the administration would eventually pursue.

In speaking about the impact of undocumented immigrants in the U.S., Miller said, “You’ve seen what it does to living standards. You’ve seen what it does to wages. You’ve seen what it does in terms of transnational cartels. You’ve seen what it has done to the innocent victims of illegal immigrant crime … You have seen the death. You have seen the needless destruction because we can’t secure this border.”

Miller’s use of the state to vilify immigrants has led to calls for his resignation. After Hatewatch’s investigative reporting verified Miller’s white nationalist perspective, more than 80 Democratic members of Congress called for his resignation. Opposition to Miller and his agenda have also surfaced within the rank-and-file civil servants who are charged with discharging the administration’s policies.

Continue here.

If you are new to the immigration restriction movement, you will learn a lot from the SPLC’s hit on Miller.

***But, it is more than scaring money out of rich people, a hit piece like this is meant to remind you that this will happen to you too if you dare stick your neck out and do or say anything like what Miller has said and done.

Maine: Social Justice Groups Collaborate with Southern Poverty Law Center to Get Teachers’ Minds Right

In my ongoing quest  (here too!) to help us all figure out ways to fight back against the Marxist Left’s attacks on our culture and institutions, here comes another opportunity (in this case for Mainers) to push back now (not waiting for the ballot box in November!).

And, let me say, there might be some silver lining to the COVID panic.

Maybe, just maybe, families will realize they can educate their kids at home and keep them out of the clutches of the likes of Shenna Bellows and the Southern Poverty Law Center, and while they are at it encourage them to find a useful trade or career path that does not involve the Left’s indoctrination centers—colleges.

From WGME:

Social justice groups offer online sessions dealing with racism in schools

PORTLAND (WGME) – The Black Lives Matter protests that swept across the country last month led to many conversations about race in America, many of them between students and teachers.

USM offers two free online classes on social reform, racism in America

Leaders at the Holocaust and Human Rights Center of Maine say not every student has the same experience in school.

No surprise that Maine progressive activist Shenna Bellows is behind the joint effort with the Southern Poverty Law Center. Here in 2017 is Bellows speaking at the pussy-hat confab in Augusta, Maine.

 

“Children of color and other marginalized groups are disproportionately impacted by bias and discrimination at school,” Shenna Bellows of the Holocaust and Human Rights Center of Maine said.

This is why the center partnered with the Southern Poverty Law Center to put on eight online sessions dealing with racism in school.

“These are very important topics to be having, especially in these times, as we are so mindful of racial inequity,” Bellows said.

These classes are a direct response to social justice movements across the country such as Black Lives Matter, and organizers say they’re focusing on teachers in grades K-12 so students can grow up knowing how to address racism.

More here.

Mainers!  Make some noise about this! The charlatans at the Southern Poverty Law Center must not get their hooks into public schools!

For others of you: Propaganda projects like this are very likely being organized in your state, so look for it and speak up!

Remember what Mark Steyn said:

So wanker*** Right’s theory that all we gotta do is sit back and let these clowns run amok and their defects will be so obvious, people will come running to us and November will be a landslide. They’ve assured us of that bollocks for decades as they lost the schools and they lost the pop culture, and they lost everything else even now, unto the statue on the village green. Speak up, speak out, to the school board, to your coworkers, to your neighbors, because you can’t have a culture war if one side doesn’t even show up.

***Wanker: Someone excessively and annoyingly pretentious and/or false.
