again, I grew up in the shadow of Vietnam, it shaped my upbringing

so I take the lessons of Vietnam

for example the culture war is driven by domino theories which are self fulfilling prophecies to a quagmire

while on the North Vietnamese side, their massive offensives were a pitiless waste of life

I think Ho Chi Minh had the right idea, patience

just wait them out tends to be the best strategy

you hunker down, you survive, even thrive in the jungle, until the adversary brings themselves down in the end

there is no Normandy Beach nor surrender on the deck of the battleship, it's not that kind of warfare

We are the Beyond Woke Ho Chi Minh...

Eating fish heads


Aboard our Luxury Yacht.

Delicious, gourmet fish heads.... and washing them down with champagne and the finest whiskey.


While intermittently strafing the odd Woke Ark that ventures unnecessarily close flaunting the rainbow flag of idiocy.


It's a lifestyle choice.

In the post Tsunami land of the free.


Where is Lord Hash today?

Prolly in the Captain's Quarters getting a hummer.
Deep down tho, I still thirst to kill you and eat you. Ultra Chimp can't help it.. - Smitty

I Refuse to Stand By While My Students Are Indoctrinated

Children are afraid to challenge the repressive ideology that rules our school. That’s why I am.

I am a teacher at Grace Church High School in Manhattan. Ten years ago, I changed careers when I discovered how rewarding it is to help young people explore the truth and beauty of mathematics. I love my work.

As a teacher, my first obligation is to my students. But right now, my school is asking me to embrace “antiracism” training and pedagogy that I believe is deeply harmful to them and to any person who seeks to nurture the virtues of curiosity, empathy and understanding.

“Antiracist” training sounds righteous, but it is the opposite of truth in advertising. It requires teachers like myself to treat students differently on the basis of race. Furthermore, in order to maintain a united front for our students, teachers at Grace are directed to confine our doubts about this pedagogical framework to conversations with an in-house “Office of Community Engagement” for whom every significant objection leads to a foregone conclusion. Any doubting students are likewise “challenged” to reframe their views to conform to this orthodoxy.

I know that by attaching my name to this I’m risking not only my current job but my career as an educator, since most schools, both public and private, are now captive to this backward ideology. But witnessing the harmful impact it has on children, I can’t stay silent.

here's a copy of a communist "workbook" they use to indoctrinate at the school :

I could not get past the first 5 minutes of that video, it feels like an incineration video from the onset.

That sent shivers down my spine. I've been saying about being put in boxes for ages... I'm glad other people think that too.

the producer couldn't get the movie made, none the of the Woke media would touch it

he made it himself with his own money, so I guess I'll have to buy it to help him out
British film director Martin Durkin plunges into the shark-infested waters of American Race-Politics.

In GREAT AMERICAN RACE GAME, Durkin explores a number of awkward questions…

Has the accusation of ‘racist’ descended into a cheap political slur, used cynically and casually by the American Left to discredit, intimidate and silence political opponents?

Are Democrats forced to focus relentlessly on the spectre of Racism, in order to maintain their grip on the ‘black vote’ (without which they would struggle to achieve power)?

Does the Left’s embrace of Race as a primary focus, serve to make their otherwise unpopular anti-capitalist politics seem more noble and virtuous?

A remarkable number of BLM and Antifa supporters appear to be white university students. Could it be that the Left’s disdain for consumer society, their championing of ‘Trans’ rights, and their obsession with ‘Climate Change’, does not resonate with ordinary black Americans?

Are allegations of ‘systemic racism’ used to divert attention from the real problems facing America’s poorest black communities (for example, lousy government schools)?

A large number of working-class Americans do not seem enamoured with high taxes and big government, and as a result they vote Republican. This working-class rejection of Socialism is clearly embarrassing for the American Left. Do blanket accusations of racism serve to vilify and dismiss working class Republicans as ‘ignorant racist bigots’?

It is said that “All Whites Are Racist”. There is still plenty of racial bigotry in America, as there is elsewhere in the world. It is a terrible thing, and should be exposed, fought and condemned. Racists should be attacked and shamed. But is it helpful, or fair, to accuse people of being racist who are not, to find racism where there is none, and to use the accusation of ‘racist’ indiscriminately as a lazy political insult?

Does this amaze anyone though? Hollywood and the US media, in general, is an echo chamber.
