THE EAGLE WATCH

************************************************  "Without education, we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously.” ― G.K. Chesterton" ************************************************   THINKING ABOUT THIS   Speaking of educated people, you know, those elites that Progressive's believe should be educating us in the way to behave in their utopia society, did you hear the other day of the "elited twit" who posted a twitter  ...“I don't believe in instant Karma but this kinda feels like it for Texas. Hopefully this will help them realize the GOP doesn't care about them.” Two days later, he was out of a job.   The U. of Tampa got it right firing this Professor of Sociology. Sociology for crying out loud....A true lesson in the workings of Progressive elitism.

THE WASHINGTON POST HAS WHAT ?

  There are some progressives out there who are still under the impression that the ANTIFA thugs are the road to a centralized government to spread the gospel of educating the citizenry in a more genteel society, however, the Washington Post may have second thoughts on that proposition. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/08/28/black-clad-antifa-attack-right-wing-demonstrators-in-berkeley/?utm_term=.bf033143f90b   ************************************************

One of the early Progressive philosophers in the 1800's up to 1930, was a gentleman named Herbert Croly. He had some admirers including FDR, Teddy Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson.

What is interesting in his writings is the fruition of events and actions occurring today just as he wrote about them. The biased liberal media, intensley tendentious universities, and demonstrations in the streets becoming more common as a means of expression. To illustrate the Progressive obsession of control over the attitude of individuals he proclaimed the following.

 Berkley and the 2017 version of the 1920's Brown Shirts, ANTIFA.

A new secular "science", a political and social science in which politicians,bureaucrats, academics, and experts harness the power of the state to indoctrinate and rule over the individual, and attempt to remake his nature and society in general through constant experimentation and manipulation.

He believed that people must be conditioned to accept and demand a centralized administrated state and that it should be accomplished by producing like minded believers through higher education.

Sound familiar ? It's called brainwashing....Beware the Progressive hostage, more commonly called a liberal.

There is no difference between Republicans and Democrats. Put them together. They are the swamp.

Just as Republicans have the power to enact the agenda they’ve pledged in toto, so too do they now own the federal government, in toto. It’s no longer Obamacare. It’s GOPcare. It’s no longer crazy liberal Democratic spending. It’s crazy liberal Republican spending. It’s no longer socialist Democratic Party taxation, it’s socialist Republican Party taxation. All the legislation authorizing all these programs, all the graft, all the waste, all the obscenity, all the immorality, and where Planned Parenthood is concerned, all the killing — all of it is now formally authored by the Republican Party.

Come the Congressional elections next year, and the presidential election in 2020, the Grand Old Party will once again bellow its hallowed promises. But this time it won’t work. This time there will be no straw men to blame. This time their voters will know those hallowed promises are not even hollow promises. They are lies.

These voters are tasting betrayal. They will not vote to swallow more vomit.

We are watching the GOP systematically committing suicide.

ANTIFA- THE NEW SOCIALISTS

THEY NEED CONTEMPORARY SLAVES

  ******************** Well, here we go again. The alt-right just has to convince us that we are evil for our cognitive processes in  remembering events that happened in the 18th and 19th century. Of course I'm speaking of the recent idiocy of the well organized and funded, ultra Progressive/Socialist group, known as ANTIFA.    

The cultural cleansing of even the memory of Southern history -- or any other history the Left does not like -- is the means by which the Left, like other religious/political cults past and present, is attempting to purge America’s past. By destroying or at least putting out of public view what are considered cultural idols, such as the recent call to transform the Jefferson Memorial, true faith will prevail and a socialist virtually sinless society can be established. That is the disturbing agenda of what is to be next.

The demanded Progressive changes to the Jefferson Memorial in Washington consists of instituting a recording, depicting Jefferson speaking from his likeness in bronze and letting the visiting public be informed of his ownership of slaves, is just the latest distorted philosophy of a growing sick and demented ideology. If sane people are willing to watch this go on, then they will be blessed with the fruits of their neglected diligence. 

                            Beware of manipulated idols .

**************************************************   It would seem that the thugs on both sides in Charlottesville have left their mark on civil society in the course of our daily lives. I can agree with the media pundits referring to the KKK and alt-right skin heads as dangerous kooks, however, I think they have their heads up their rear ends if they think that ANTIFA is the new social order saviors.

The memories seem to grow old and dimmer as time goes by and old news grows mold on it. The media forgets how delighted they were to enlighten us on the skills of political thugs in setting fire to limousines and the smashing of windows at Berkeley. The Black Lives Matter group just adding meat to the pizza.

So now we have to suffer the brain injured footballers  on Sundays as they take to their knees and pray for the greater good of ignorance and the next paycheck. (Yeah sure, think "Colon" Kaepernick.)

For the time being the picture of Sunday football will hopefully temper our philosophy of violence to; "Just tell these dwindle sized, non-functioning brains to get lost.

Is Google Working with Liberal Groups to Snuff Out Conservative Websites?

 Google revealed in a blog post that it is now using machine learning to do*******

In the announcement, Simon Rogers, data editor of Google News Labs, wrote:

Now, with ProPublica, we are launching a new machine learning tool to help journalists covering hate news leverage this data in their reporting.The Documenting Hate News Index — built by the Google News Lab, data visualization studio Pitch Interactive and ProPublica — takes a raw feed of Google News articles from the past six months and uses the Google Cloud Natural Language API to create a visual tool to help reporters find news happening across the country. It’s a constantly-updating snapshot of data from this year, one which is valuable as a starting point to reporting on this area of news.
The Documenting Hate project launched in response to the lack of national data on hate crimes. While the FBI is required by law to collect data about hate crimes, the data is incomplete because local jurisdictions aren't required to report incidents up to the federal government.
All of which underlines the value of the Documenting Hate Project, which is powered by a number of different news organisations and journalists who collect and verify reports of hate crimes and events. Documenting Hate is informed by both reports from members of the public and raw Google News data of stories from across the nation.

On the surface, this looks rather innocuous. It's presented by Google as an attempt to create a database of hate crimes — information that should be available with a quick Google search, it should be noted. But a quick glance at the list of partners for this project should raise some red flags:

The  ProPublica-led coalition includes  The Google News Lab,  Univision News, the  New York Times,  WNYC,  BuzzFeed News,  First Draft,  Meedan,  New America Media,  The Root,  Latino USA,  The Advocate,  100 Days in Appalachia and  Ushahidi. The coalition is also working with civil-rights groups such as the  Southern Poverty Law Center, and schools such as the  University of Miami School of Communications.

ProPublica poses as a middle-of-the-road non-profit journalistic operation, but in reality, it's funded by a stable of uber-liberal donors, including George Soros's Open Society Foundations and Herb and Marion Sandler, billionaire former mortgage bankers whose Golden West Financial Corp. allegedly targeted subprime borrowers with "pick-a-pay" mortgages that led to toxic assets that were blamed for the collapse of Wachovia. The Southern Poverty Law Center, of course, is infamous for targeting legitimate conservatives groups, branding them as "hate groups" because they refuse to walk in lockstep with the progressive agenda. And it goes with out saying that The New York Times and BuzzFeed News lean left.

.........................................................SLAVERY STILL EXISTS STATUES OR NOT.

PROGRESSIVE IDEOLOGY IS DEPRIVED OF PERCEPTION

AND LIVES ASIDE SLAVERY TROUGHOUT THE WORLD

THE FOUR POSEURS

TOP FIVE AFRICAN COUNTRIES WHERE SLAVERY IS STILL WIDESPREAD

by ANELE

It may be more than two centuries since the Trans-atlantic Slave Trade ended, but slavery is still very much alive in many African countries as well as much of the ancient world.
   Other varied forms of slavery still exist across the continent, including but not limited to domestic service, debt bondage, military slavery, slaves of sacrifice, and local slave trade.
Here are the top five African countries where slavery is still rampant.

Modern Slavery in africa,​ The top 5 countries
  1. Mauritania
  In Mauritania, slavery has been practiced for thousands of years, particularly by the light-skinned Berbers, commonly referred to as “beydan” (Whites), and the mixed Berber-Arabs — all of whom are the descendants of slave owners locally referred to as “al-beydan.”    Black Mauritanians from the minority ethnic group, referred to as “Moors” or the “Haratin,” account for the largest number of slaves in the North African country.

Here, slaves and their descendants are considered the full property of their masters. Although this practice was banned in Mauritania in 1981, it is still rampant in some parts of the country.
  2. Sudan

Slavery in Sudan dates back to medieval times. It has recently had a resurgence during the second Sudanese Civil War that lasted between 1983 and 2005. During the war, human rights campaigners reported a rise in contemporary forms of slavery and accused the Sudanese government of supporting and arming various slave-taking militias in the country.

In response to these claims, the Sudanese government argued that slavery was a product of inter-tribal warfare over which it had no control.
Sadly, the shameful practice still continues in some parts of the country more than a decade after the war ended.

The majority of those enslaved in Sudan belong to the Dinka, Nuer, and Nuba tribes, which are predominantly Black in appearance.

Their masters are primarily Arabs from the Baggara ethnic group.
  3. Libya

Even though the slave trade was abolished in Libya in 1853, it still continues unabated particularly since the fall of President Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.

Black Africans from neighboring countries seeking to cross over to Europe through the Libyan coast are usually captured by Libyan rebels and sold off as slaves to local masters.

The practice is so widespread that human rights organizations are now calling for the immediate intervention of the international community.
What’s worse, the majority of these slaves are unaccompanied children fleeing war and persecution in their home countries.

There have also been claims of women refugees being captured and held as sex slaves in the North African nation.

4. Egypt

According to the U.S. State Department, Egypt is a source, transit, and destination country for women and children trafficked for purposes of forced labor and sexual exploitation.

The department further reveals that about 1 million street children in the North African country – both boys and girls – are exploited with prostitution and forced begging.

In 2014, the world was shocked by tales of widespread slavery and torture in Sinai Peninsula, where tens of thousands of slaves from neighboring African countries were reportedly held for trafficking.

These slaves are alleged to have been chained up and kept in water tankers for up to six months, among them were women held as sex slaves.

The Sinai Peninsula is now said to be a haven for Al-Qaeda operatives and Bedouin smugglers and extortionists who have a free hand in the modern-day slave trade. It is estimated that there are more than 50 human trafficking gangs currently operating in the Sinai region.
  5. South Africa

South Africa is one of the many African countries that suffered immensely during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Unfortunately, things haven’t changed much in terms of ending slavery in this rainbow nation: Last year, the Global Slavery Index estimated that close to 250,000 modern slaves exist in South Africa today.

About 103,461 victims of this practice were identified to have been subjected to commercial sexual exploitation. It has also been widely alleged that the majority of wine production companies in South Africa still practice slavery.

Among the most common forms of slavery in SA include forced labor, human trafficking, debt bondage, child exploitation, and forced marriage.

PROGRESSIVE IDEOLOGY IS ENABLING AND DESTRUCTIVE

AND CONTINUES TO EXPAND EVERMORE TO A FAILING FUTURE

THE FOUR POSEURS

THEY'RE AFTER MY WUSSY SIDE

Colleges Ramp Up Assault on Masculinity for Spring Semester
BY TOM KNIGHTON  JANUARY 17, 2017 
It's not easy being a man on today's college campuses. As the new year kicks off, several schools have apparently made it part of their New Year's resolutions to stomp out anything that might be identified with traditional definitions of masculinity, also known as masculinity.
We've already discussed UW-Madison's assault on manhood, but they're far from alone on this.
Via Campus Reform:
At the University of Oregon, for instance, students are invited to attend a “healthy masculinities conference” where they will “engage in collective imagining to construct new futures for masculinities, unrestricted by power, privilege, and oppression.” An advertisement for the conference lists several other intended “learning outcomes,” such as examining “the histories and legacies of Eurocentric masculinities and [understanding] how they influenced and continue to shape modern global masculinities.”
“Join us in a collective examination of the histories and legacies that shape present day masculinities. Through a day of presentations, panels, workshops, and artistic expression, learn how to engage systems of power,” the advertisement states, noting that students will be allowed to attend free of charge.
Similarly, Ithaca College will host a workshop on “masculinity and violence” during its MLK Week celebrations, where students will “examine hegemonic masculinity and its role as the wheel that rotates a cycle of violence” while empowering “willing individuals to begin to recognize, acknowledge, own, and disrupt the toxicity of manhood in order to end violence.”
Duke University’s “Men’s Project,” meanwhile, is looking for applicants for a “nine-week long discussion group” that will also “examine the ways we present -- or don’t present -- our masculinities, so we can better understand how masculinity exists on our campus -- often in toxic ways -- and begin the work of unlearning violence.”
“We want to explore, dissect, and construct an intersectional understanding of masculinity and maleness, as well as to create destabilized spaces for those with privilege,” a description of the program explains. “Duke is an environment where some are rarely made uncomfortable while others are made to bear the weight of their identities on a daily basis -- we aim to flip that paradigm.”
There were already longstanding anti-masculinity programs at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and Brown. The American college campus is becoming downright hostile towards men. After all, "flipping the paradigm" means "we've been feeling oppressed, so now it's your turn."
Of course, while they supposedly fight to eliminate biases, they've adopted a strawman, stereotyped version of masculinity.
Yes, men are often ready to engage in a violent confrontation under certain circumstances -- but it's not that common of an occurrence. In 2014, the violent crime rate was 20.1 per 1000 people. Even if every offense was committed by a man -- and they weren't -- and roughly half of those 1000 people were men, then only four percent of the male population exhibited violent tendencies during that time. Further, many of those crimes were committed by repeat offenders, dropping the percentage further.
And let's not forget that it's usually men who come to save the day, be they bystanders or first responders. Heroism, protection, and responsibility is what masculinity has always meant for the vast majority of American men, which is why it will always be an overwhelming positive for any society.

PROGRESSIVE IDEOLOGY IS ENABLING AND DESTRUCTIVE AND CONTINUES EVERMORE INTO A FAILING FUTURE

Elizabeth Warren Takes Aim at Moderates and Generates Chants of ‘Warren 2020’

ATLANTA — Senator Elizabeth Warren used a speech to a grass-roots conference Saturday to take direct aim at Democrats’ diminished moderate wing, ridiculing Clinton-era policies and jubilantly proclaiming that liberals had taken control of the party.

While not invoking former President Bill Clinton or Hillary Clinton by name, Ms. Warren sent an unambiguous message that she believes the Clinton effort to push Democrats toward the political center should be relegated to history.

“The Democratic Party isn’t going back to the days of welfare reform and the crime bill,” she said, highlighting measures Mr. Clinton signed into law as president that are reviled by much of the left. “It is not going to happen.”

Yet Ms. Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat who is widely thought to be considering running for president in 2020, noted to about 1,000 activists here for the yearly Netroots Nation meeting that they hardly needed to worry about the party shifting to the middle as it did in the 1990s. Liberals, she said, have taken charge.

“We are not the gate-crashers of today’s Democratic Party,” Ms. Warren said, invoking a term first used to describe the liberal blogosphere that emerged a decade ago. “We are not a wing of today’s Democratic Party. We are the heart and soul of today’s Democratic Party.”

Despite Ms. Warren’s words, deep divisions remain in the Democratic Party in the aftermath of the 2016 presidential campaign. There is the familiar center-versus-liberal divide as well as an increasingly animated clash between economic-focused activists on the far left and liberals driven more by issues of race, gender and identity.

While Ms. Warren first rose to stardom on the left because of her populist jeremiads against concentrated economic power, she sought to use her remarks in Atlanta to broaden her indictment against what she calls “a rigged system.” Expanding her signature attacks on Wall Street and its political influence, she said that women, African-Americans, undocumented immigrants and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people were all suffering from fundamental inequities.

Ms. Warren lampooned a recent New York Times opinion article, “Back to the Center, Democrats,” by the onetime Clinton strategist Mark Penn and the former New York City Council president Andrew Stein. “The path forward is to go back to locking up nonviolent drug offenders and ripping more holes in our economic safety net,” she said of their argument.

Still, Ms. Warren implored the crowd not to push others out of the movement.
“If we’re going to be the people who lead the Democratic Party back from the wilderness and lead our country out of this dark time, then we can’t waste energy arguing about whose issue matters more or who in our alliance should be voted off the island,” she said, drawing applause.

The annual Netroots gathering began in 2006 when it was called “YearlyKos” and sponsored by the Daily Kos blog. But it has grown in scale, mirroring the rise of liberals in the party.
The conference has also become a proving ground for would-be Democratic presidential candidates. Ms. Warren did little to dissuade a friendly crowd from thinking she, too, was eyeing a White House run.

Recalling the moment earlier this year when Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader, rebuked her for not following Senate rules — and said, “nevertheless she persisted” — Ms. Warren repeated the line that has become a rallying cry for her. When she vowed to the crowd in Atlanta that she “would persist,” chants of “Warren 2020” rose up.
