Let us be clear, and keep it simple. Most people, when they hear the word “democracy”, understand it to mean “governance by the people”. In the USA, most people would probably go a bit further, and see democracy as a “one person, one vote” system of government – otherwise known as government through universal […]
Quote from Friday, October 25, 2024 [Austin, Texas] “We’re like a garbage can for the rest of the world to dump the people that they don’t want.” Donald Trump, in an attempt to stir up anti-immigrant hatred, has continued to push a lie – claiming that foreign governments are actively sending criminals to […]
The executive order below was signed by Theodore Roosevelt, and came about through a concerted campaign and intense lobbying by the “Asiatic Exclusion League”. This organization was formed in 1905 by European immigrant labor leaders and so-called “white” Americans up and down the Pacific Coast of the USA, who blamed Asian immigrants (including those […]
Between the Norman (French Viking) invasion of England in 1066 and the time of Chaucer‘s Canterbury Tales (from the late 1300s), we have perhaps only one history book written from the viewpoint of the vanquished Anglo-Saxons or “English”.

In various blogs shared on this page over the past year, I have attempted to connect the dots between J. D. Vance and Trump, and the nexus of tech billionaires who are backing them financially. I have recently mentioned a thing called “Scientific Racism”, which is a term used by various academics to describe […]
“The Left Banke” had a smash hit in 1966 with “Walk Away, Renée“, a song co-written by Michael Brown, son of Russian-Jewish immigrants named “Lookofsky” who had first fetched-up in America in…Paducah, Kentucky. Brown’s father Harry Lookofsky was an accomplished bebop violinist who relocated to New York, running a small recording studio and working […]

A lynching is the execution of an accused criminal (often wrongfully accused) by members of the public without that person having received due process of the law. The method of execution can vary.

Early in February 2017, the administration of Donald Trump introduced the Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment (RAISE) Act. Americans of every political hue love their acronyms… This was one of Trump’s earliest efforts to begin the “re-whitification” of the USA, by clamping-down on what is known as “chain migration”.
