Dumb Harry: Who Will Rid Us of This Idiot Prince?
By Brendan O'Neill
Harry was having a chat with Patrick Hutchinson, the personal trainer who was photographed carrying a counter-protester to safety during clashes with BLM activists over the summer. Harry trotted out all the woke lines. ‘Ignorance is no longer an excuse’, he said, no doubt to those still in denial about the unwitting hatred that lurks in their hearts (that’s essentially what ‘unconscious bias’ means).
I really don’t think the Duke of Sussex should be pushing divisive ideas like ‘unconscious bias’
He praised this year’s BLM protests as a ‘global movement’, like an unstoppable ‘train’, and everyone must ‘get on it’, he said. That’s easy for him to say from his swanky pad in Santa Barbara. What about the black and white working-class communities in other parts of the US whose businesses and livelihoods were destroyed by the excesses of this ‘global movement’? They might wish that this train, which involved riots, the destruction of monuments, and confrontations with diners who refused to raise their fists, would slow down a little, or maybe even come to a halt.
But it was his use of the line ‘educate yourself’ that most clearly illustrated Harry’s capture by the cult of woke. That is the most common cry of the self-elected guardians of correct-think. And don’t be fooled by their use of the term education, which of course is a good thing. They don’t mean ‘educate’ in the sense of going off to read some books and talk to people and make up your mind on an issue. No, they mean ‘get with our programme’. ‘Educate yourself’ is a demand for conformity. Really it means re-educate yourself; submerge yourself in the ways of identity politics.
That’s why Harry’s train metaphor was so revealing, too. ‘The train has left the station, and if you’re not on it now, then get on it’, he said. Leaving to one side the question of how you're supposed to get on a train that has already left, the most important part of this metaphor is its one-way nature. Trains go in one direction only. They can’t be steered somewhere else. What Harry is essentially saying is that there is only one correct way to think about issues like BLM, unconscious bias and identity politics, and if you think a different way… well, you’ll be left behind.
It was hard not to hear his wife Meghan’s voice. Did she write this script, I found myself wondering? Indeed, Harry credits his arrival in the station of correct thought to his experiences with his Meghan. He said he spent ‘many, many years’ unaware that unconscious bias even existed, but his awareness was raised by ‘living a day or a week in my wife’s shoes’. So she gave him his Damascene conversion? She turned him from the bad old Saul who wore Nazi outfits to fancy-dress parties into the Paul of wokeness, a proselytiser for political correctness?
What is striking about this is that Harry, like other royals, has worked with charities and good causes for a long time. But apparently he didn’t become properly socially aware until he spent a day or two in the company of a very wealthy celebrity from Hollywood. There’s an implicit insult in this. Apparently schools, institutions and charities in the UK failed to prise open Harry’s eyes to the problems of the world, but magic Meghan did it in a matter of weeks. Thank God for virtuous celebs, eh?
I really don’t think the Duke of Sussex should be pushing divisive ideas like ‘unconscious bias’. This identitarian ideology, which suggests that most people are racist, even if they don’t realise it, has nothing in common with the old noble cause of anti-racism. Those old struggles were about securing equality for people regardless of their racial backgrounds, whereas today’s BLM outlook encourages division. This obsession with white privilege and black victimhood; the idea that people’s hidden hatreds must be teased out, that must be corrected by a new army of therapeutic race-relations experts; it is all a recipe for suspicion and tension. Harry, get off that train.
The Spectator.co.uk, October 28, 2020: Prince Harry has seen the light. His awokening is complete. Yesterday, in a video chat hosted by GQ magazine, he confessed to the sin of ‘unconscious bias’ and instructed the rest of us — the unwoke throng — to ‘educate yourself’. And there you have it: this duke, sixth in line to the British throne, is now indistinguishable from those irritating campus activists who scream ‘EDUCATE YOURSELF’ at anyone who has the temerity to demur from their worldview.

The Systemic Racism of the Government of Canada
Ottawa rolls out $200 million program to boost Black entrepreneurship
"The government will kick in nearly $93 million over the four years."
So our wonderful anti-raciss government is to bilk taxpayers to fund a program that favors a particular racial group. Maybe that's a good thing, but what's certain is that it is a manifestation of systemic Liberal racism.
CF:
Atlantic Monthly:The Dictionary Definition of Racism Has to Change
racism “is a system of advantage based on skin color.”
Exactly, as in, no money under this government program for people who are white, red, yellow or green with pink stripes.

The New Nazis: Poles Resisting National Self-Genocide
Europe's has a population policy based on the following principles:
(1) Promote girls' education and encourage intelligent women to chose careers over family.
(2) Make up the population deficit and more through immigration of people of alien race, religion, and culture.
(3) Heavily tax the most able members of the population, including the women the state has indoctrinated to prefer money over motherhood, and use the funds so appropriated to support the reproduction of the welfare class, both indigenous and immigrant.
(4) Compel acceptance of (1) – (3) by means of K to post-graduate education heavily loaded with political correctness, with emphasis on white self-hatred, promotion of every form of perverted — that is, non-reproductive — sex, and contempt for Christianity, the ancient faith of the European peoples.
Objective: the death of the European peoples as racial and cultural entities and the Islamification of Europe.
Now those rotten stinking white, racist, Christian Poles are up in arms against their own genocide:
So what to do?
The best idea, surely soon to be implemented by the EU's unelected leaders, is to follow the advice of Professor Christine Fair of Georgetown University in Washington, DC, who, referring to the white male defenders of Supreme Court Justice, Brett Kavanaugh when he faced unsubstantiated allegations of sexual assault during his high school days said:
In response, Georgetown University, a nominally Christian and nominally Catholic institution, indeed the oldest Catholic and Jesuit institution of higher education in the US, stated that it:
LOL.
Catholic Christianity: RIP. Indeed, US of A RIP.

| A thirty-eight million nation in the heart of Europe (i.e., with a population approximately the size of Spain's) has been revolting against the EU establishment and its view of European unity based on cultural and religious indifference and anti-nationalism. Polish President Andrzej Duda asked citizens to unite under "one common homeland, beyond all divisions," but acknowledged that "different ideologies and beliefs" are permitted in Poland. While millions of radical Muslim refugees have poured into France, Germany, Sweden, UK, Italy, and Spain, creating social-economic chaos on the streets of those countries, Poles are attempting to revive their nation through patriotism and traditional Catholic values.

PIERS MORGAN: Blackface Trudeau should apply the same high horse standards to himself that he applies to everyone else – and demand his own racist head on a plate
So, let me get this absolutely straight…
Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada and arguably the most woke, virtue-signalling and PC-crazed leader in the history of Mankind – or ‘Peoplekind’ as he insisted we rename it last year - turns out to have a rather cracked halo?
Wow. I’m so shocked…not.
I’ve not met a high-horse rider yet who doesn’t eventually tumble off into a pit of shameless hypocrisy.
But I’ve got to hand it to Trudeau, when he fell, he really FELL.
For a guy so keen to paint himself as the male Mother Teresa, the revelation that he has literally painted himself to appropriate non-white skin color is a bombshell from which I doubt he will ever recover.

The Fake Piety of the Mega Rich and Famous Gospellers of Global Warming
By Rex Murphy
National Post, August 2, 2019: Today’s text is from the Gospel of Matthew, KJV:
But there is no issue on this orbiting Earth, nor has there even been, that has the burden and depth, the volume and intensity of the rawest hypocrisy — that burns on the flames of hypocrisy itself — as that of global warming.
The chosen ones gathered to save us all from a humid world was a rare mix, including Woody Harrelson, Diane von Furstenberg, David Geffen, Chris Martin, Leonardo DiCaprio (discoverer of the Chinook), Sacha Baron Cohen, Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry, Prince Harry and a clutch of egotist billionaires and trendoids too numerous to list.
How do I save thee (Earth). Let me count the ways?
How did this coven of illuminati get to Sicily? Did they walk and row? Come by Greyhound? Hitchhike? Nein. Official count of the private jets wafting into Palermo air for the “great consult” stands at 114. This for a maximum 300 people attending — three persons per jet.
Not all came from the carbon-rich sky. Some came by personal super-yacht.
Eric Smidt, CEO of something called Harbor Freight Tools, came on a 69-metre luxury barge Intrepid (US$150 million); a New Zealand tycoon cleaved the Mediterranean on Andromeda ($US165 million); and David Geffen floated in on Rising Sun ($US400 million).
These are not self-propelling bathtub toys.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.Every issue has its hypocrites, those who preach the cause but act its opposite.
But there is no issue on this orbiting Earth, nor has there even been, that has the burden and depth, the volume and intensity of the rawest hypocrisy — that burns on the flames of hypocrisy itself — as that of global warming.
The hypocrisy of politicians is as a bead of sand, a pimple in the shadow of Everest compared to the hollow, fake piety of the mega rich and famous gospellers of global warming.
Those howling loudest at people to use public transport — “for the planet’s sake” — should not, per exemplum, own $400-million yachts, travel themselves by private jet, have a dozen vast mansions in a dozen countries, and hold suppers that cost $100,000 in ancient Greek temples. But they do. Check out the Google Summer Camp.
This week the richest of the rich, the famousest of the famous, the most pretentious of the pretentious, convened a three-day summit in a high-luxury resort on the island of Sicily to — discuss? bemoan? illustrate? — the crisis of climate inflammation wrought by fiendish fossil fuels. It was sponsored by the two founders of Google (personal worth, 2017, US$81 billion).

Salisbury Terror Nerve Gas Attack: How We Know Putin Did It
Theresa May, House of Commons, March 12, 2017:
The fact that the incident in Salisbury occurred days before the Russian Presidential election has of course nothing to do with it.
The fact that the incident in Salisbury occurred just a couple of months before Russia is to host the World cup has of course nothing to do with it.
The fact that the incident in Salisbury occurred in the months leading up to completion of the NordStream II gas line to deliver Russian natural gas to North Western Europe, a project that US interests still seek to block to the benefit of US exporters of liquefied natural gas, a surplus byproduct of oil fracking, has of course nothing to do with it.
The fact that Trump is gunning for a war on a Russia-backed Iran for which the incident in Salisbury may yet provide a pretext, is not to be thought of.
The fact that Putin has no reason to seek a war for which the incident in Salisbury could so readily serve as a pretext, at a time when Russia and China are still racing to surpass the US in arms both quantitatively and qualitatively, is of course irrelevant.
No, clearly, Putin decided that since now was the worst possible time to murder a Russian spy — a man already pardoned by the Russian state — using a terror weapon with Russia’s signature on it, on foreign soil, then this was, in fact, the best time since no one would believe the Russians to be that damn stupid. Trouble for Putin is that everyone is so damn stupid that they really do think the Russians are that damn stupid.
* May defends use of drones to kill British terrorists overseas
Re: The poisoning of Segei and Yulia Skirpal in Salisbury, EnglandSo folks, no actual evidence, but still it's best just to place your trust in the politicians who in your hearts you know do what’s absolutely best for you, like, for example, bringing on the next ME war, with potential for escalation to World War III.
Based on the positive identification of this chemical agent by world-leading experts at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory at Porton Down; our knowledge that Russia has previously produced this agent and would still be capable of doing so; Russia's record of conducting state-sponsored assassinations*; and our assessment that Russia views some defectors as legitimate targets for assassinations; the Government has concluded that it is highly likely that Russia was responsible for the act against Sergei and Yulia Skripal.
Mr. Speaker, there are therefore only two plausible explanations for what happened in Salisbury on the 4th of March.
Either this was a direct act by the Russian state against our country.
Or the Russian government lost control of this potentially catastrophically damaging nerve agent and allowed it to get into the hands of others.
