The Week In Woke

How many trillions does the Racism, Inc. grift cost us?

[T]here's one aspect of this industrial-scale robbery of the American people that feels especially chilling: It's this: When officials raised concerns about one of the Somali scams, the scammers threatened to publicly brand them as "racist."

You will be tarred with the brush of "racism," the fraudsters warned, and it will be "sprawled all over the news."

And here's the thing: it worked.

The officials crumbled in the face of the scammers' shameless playing of the "racism" card.

They carried on funding what they suspected was a sketchy outfit, so desperate were they to avoid being called "racist.".

This reveals a chilling truth not only about Minnesota but about the West more broadly.

It speaks to the lethal power of the racism grift.

It confirms that accusations of "racism" have become a key weapon in the armory of the duplicitous.

Even the state itself can now be cowed by mere whispers of the r-word.

It was Feeding Our Future that aroused the suspicion of state officials.

The Minnesota Department of Education was alarmed by the number of "feeding sites" that were popping up.

Yet the Somali scammers knew how to silence their doubters -- just cry "racism."

You will be in trouble if you fail to fund "minority-owned businesses," they said, and the Department of Education buckled.

"The money kept flowing," as one report says.

It was blackmail. Minnesota officials essentially handed wads of cash to the scammers to buy their silence, to shush their talk of "racism."

They gave away the taxes of working-class Americans in order to save their own bureaucratic skin -- such is the hypnotic power of the "racism" panic.

And it's not just in the United States; throughout the Western world, state officials are so scared of being called racist that they'll even turn a blind eye to criminal behavior.

Here in the UK, the "grooming gang" scandal was underpinned by the same moral cowardice.

White working-class girls in towns across England were raped by gangs of men from mostly Pakistani backgrounds, and everyone from cops to politicians looked the other way.

Why? Because, as one inquiry found, they feared "being thought of as racist."

Forget the trillions of dollars stolen -- how many needless deaths does the Racism, Inc. scam cost us?

A new book about George and Alexander Soros' project to elect leftwing anti-justice prosecutors notes their success, as they define it.

As Soros spokesman Michael Vachon admitted, "We started a movement . . . the knee-jerk, so-called tough-on-crime philosophy has been discredited in many communities."

He is right, and the results are catastrophic.

The foundational belief these progressive DAs share is that systemic social change, not aggressive prosecution, is the answer to crime.

...

It meant the effective elimination of criminal justice, putting more criminals -- even repeat offenders -- back on the streets.

This week an NYU student was assaulted in Greenwich Village by James Rizzo, a recidivist criminal with 16 arrests and a lengthy record of assaulting women.

Last week in Chicago Lawrence Reed, a man with a 72-arrest record and eight felony convictions, set a young woman on fire on the CTA Blue Line.

In Denver last month, repeat offender Charles Cooley broke into the home of Kevin and Sarah Root. After posting a $500 surety bond, Cooley is back on the street ("awaiting trial").

And these harrowing stories aren't one-offs; they reflect the data showing how Soros-backed prosecutors worsened crime.

In 2021 Philadelphia, under Soros DA Larry Krasner, broke its all-time murder record -- as did 12 other cities with progressive DAs.

In Chicago under DA Kim Foxx, overall reported crime skyrocketed by 369% between 2019 and 2023, driven largely by huge jumps in property crimes like motor vehicle theft.

Other major cities saw similar spikes.

In Oregon, under the direction of Soros-funded DA Mike Schmidt, drug decriminalization policies coincided with a huge spike in drug overdose fatalities, which more than tripled from 280 in 2019 to 956 in 2022.

Adam Carolla has been pointing out that ball-less leftist "men" have been crossing their legs like women for years.

Tim Walz, who has joked about "getting some news" about Trump being murdered and never apologized for it, is now complaining that people are shouting out "Retard!" at him after Trump declared him to be "seriously retarded."

People are driving by his house and shouting "Retard!" And this fat retarded queen is very angry about it.

He is claiming that calling him a retard is "dangerous" and incites violence.

And he still hasn't apologized for wishing for Trump's murder.

Don't click this, it might incite violence.

Bret Weinstein just said something that won't leave my head:

For the first time in 300,000 years of human evolution, we removed the cost from the single biggest reward nature ever invented -- sex and pair-bonding.

Reliable birth control + abortion = you can now cash the evolutionary lottery ticket without paying the 20-year mortgage of pregnancy, diapers, sleepless nights, and college funds.

Result? An entire generation of 18--35-year-olds walking around with the energy, libido, hormones, and protective instincts that evolution spent millions of years calibrating for child-rearing... but with zero actual children. That energy didn't disappear. It got redirected.

Heather Heying's observation is brutal: young women especially began treating ideologies the exact way evolution wired them to treat babies. Climate change, social justice, whatever the cause of the month is -- it gets defended with literal mama-bear ferocity, the same neurochemistry that once guarded a toddler from predators now guards an abstract idea from wrong think.

And now Elon is promising the second shoe is about to drop: AI-driven abundance will make money as "free" as sex became in the 1970s. Both of evolution's primary carrots -- mating and resource acquisition suddenly cost almost nothing.

Weinstein's ice-cold question: When producing and protecting actual children is no longer the central organizing principle of adult life... and when creating wealth is no longer required for status, security, or attracting a mate...What is left to give a human life direction, meaning, and structure?

Are we about to become a species that invents bigger and bigger dragons to slay just to feel alive? Or do we drift into total listlessness? This 3:52 clip is genuinely haunting.

Watch it all the way through, then tell me -- honestly -- does this explain the absolute intensity we're seeing in culture right now, or is Bret completely missing something?

Video here.

Work hard. Remember, there are foreign layabouts on food stamps and Somali pirates depending on you!
