Supplementary "Live Action is an anti-abortion extremist organization founded by Lila Rose in 2003 'with the goal to expose what abortion does to the preborn child.' After meeting James O'Keefe -- the far-right extremist and founder of Project Veritas -- in 2006, Rose and O'Keefe began undercover investigations into what she calls 'the abortion industry,' orchestrating the first nationally televised exposé in 2008. The videos shown were heavily edited to portray Planned Parenthood employees as disobeying medical laws despite that not being the case. Rose was forced to take down the videos following a cease and desist from Planned Parenthood. That same year, Live Action was legally formed as a 501(c)(3). The organization continues to produce deceptively edited videos, using them for social media campaigns, broadcasting misinformation to its large audiences." https://pro-lies.org/live-action/ #OrgUSLiveActionLilaRose #AdvocacyUSProjectVeritasJamesOKeefe #OrgUSPlannedParenthood

Context #PowerControlBarbaryCaptivityNarratives "The fact that until the end of the 1620s more Britons lived in North Africa than North America is largely overlooked, and historians have concentrated instead on the looming prizes of the New World rather than the allure and danger of the Barbary states. North African privateers--largely driven by western maritime technology and renegade captives from Europe--regularly captured English and colonial sailing vessels, and the captives were frequently exchanged for much needed hard currency. The slave traffic, of course, ran in both directions as British and Maltese corsairs captured 'Barbary Pirates,' and the exchange of captives became regularized and an important aspect of the Mediterranean economy. Matar theorizes that the North African conflict received little attention by contemporary writers simply because Europeans were often overpowered at sea and, as he has shown in his earlier work, Christians regularly converted to Islam.

DEI places diversity first, often focusing on bringing different people into the organisation. While this is important, it can sometimes overlook the need for equity--ensuring that all employees, regardless of their background, have equal opportunities to succeed. EDI, on the other hand, prioritises equity first. By addressing systemic inequalities and ensuring fair treatment, EDI lays the foundation for a genuinely inclusive workplace where diversity can thrive." ^[blog] #PolicyDiversityEquityAndInclusionDEIEqualityDiversityInclusionEDI

#BrandNewsCorpUKTheTimesMelaniePhillips "The outspoken state school head and former social mobility tsar Katharine Birbalsingh has been making waves again, this time over independent schools. In an essay for an updated edition of a book called The State of Independence, she writes that in recent years these schools - particularly the most prestigious ones - have embraced the agenda of identity politics. Independent schools, she says, are essential in the great battle for traditionalism. Parents who send their children to such schools still believe this is precisely what they are buying. No longer. The significant change came about, Birbalsingh says, after the emergence of Black Lives Matter and the dominance of identity politics in the progressive circles where many, if not most, teachers make their ideological home. In another essay in this book Claire Fox, the one-time Marxist turned libertarian turned baroness, who is herself a former teacher, endorses this observation. Fox writes that 'woke ideology is increasingly what is being taught at the highest levels of private schooling'. This, she suggests, may explain why so many leading 'social justice warriors' in the universities were themselves privately educated. Eton, for example, has called for more gender intelligence and invited the founder of the Everyday Sexism Project to lecture pupils. Rugby School has introduced post-doctoral bursaries to explore 'the historical intersection between schools, class and colonialism'. An unidentified school founded in the 16th century and charging more than £35,000 per year, writes Fox, has trained its staff in 'unconscious bias', gives lessons in 'micro-aggressions and stereotyping' and has told department heads to ensure that 'black British history influences curricular development'. Birbalsingh says the grip that all this has exercised can't be explained without grasping the impact of 'child-centred' education. This maintains that the child is the principal driver of his or her education experience, with the teacher relegated to a back-seat role. As a result structured teaching, discipline and adult authority in school go down the drain. Birbalsingh says that this plays out far worse in independent schools because it combines with the guilt of the privileged. Not only are these pupils drawn overwhelmingly from the upper social strata, but many of the teachers were themselves privately educated. They make themselves feel better, she says, by embracing ideologies that tell them they are empowering their students to address the perceived injustices of the world. Such schools no longer inspire their pupils to repay their privileged upbringing through public service. Instead, they 'follow the children's leadership' by embracing causes fashionable among the young which will secure the teacher's position as a 'good person'. This helps explain why transgender is being pushed by so many posh girls' schools, regardless of the damage it is doing to individual girls and to women's rights. In America, the extent of this cultural self-flagellation in its most elite high schools has provoked some parents to take their children away. One such New York parent wrote that schools such as Brearley, from where he was removing his daughter, were supposed to be the training grounds for America's leaders. In a letter to all Brearley parents, he wrote: 'Our nation will not survive a generation of leadership even more poorly educated than we have now, nor will we survive a generation of students taught to hate its own country and despise its history.' In my 1996 book, All Must Have Prizes, drawing on my own perceptions of what was being taught in both state and independent schools and the evidence from teachers and educationists, I wrote about the catastrophic effects of child-centred education. The fact that I was denounced by virtually the entire education establishment proved my point that this had become an unchallengeable orthodoxy. At the same time, I received huge support from parents - and from dissident teachers who privately expressed their despair that the very understanding of education as the transmission of a culture was being destroyed, and along with it the life chances of the most vulnerable children. Birbalsingh, whose educational philosophy runs headlong against this, heads one of the most successful state schools in Britain in one of its most culturally diverse and challenging areas. Yet she is demonised as 'right-wing' - that adults brainless insult that tells you so spend much about the person reflexively hurling it at those with whom they disagree. These devastating observations about independent schools shouldn't be brushed aside as of marginal importance. Such schools may educate a small minority but they in effect set down markers for education that lead the culture. For years, they have been under increasingly vituperative attack for small doing so. Now it turns out they have abandoned that role and have chosen to be led by children instead. Birbalsingh stood down as head of the Social Mobility Commission because of the impossibility of telling home truths to a wider culture that seems to regard these as micro-aggressions. In her essay, which she wrote last summer while she was still at the commission, she likens independent schools to an iceberg that has melted so much that it topples in on itself. The uproar she provokes tells us much about the toppling icebergs of Britain and the West." https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/private-schools-woke-takeover-is-a-worry-to-all-fmntz5qkh #MetaphorWarfareCultureLiberalEducation #EDUUKSchoolMichaelaCommunityKatharineBirbalsingh #CatchcryIdentityPolitics #CauseBlackLivesMatterBLM #OrgClassifPPUKTheBrexitPartyReformUKClaireFox #PoliticsLibertarianism #TauntWokeAgendaIdeologyIdeologue #MetaphorWarfareSocialJusticeWarriorSJW #EDUUKEtonCollege #EDUUKRugbySchool #EDUUSTheBrearleySchool #1996_AllMustHavePrizes #TheoryDeclinism

Five days after Ms. Fletcher's abduction, another Memphis man went on a shooting rampage, killing four people and wounding three more, at least part of which he livestreamed on Facebook.

#NewspaperUKBrdshtBylineTimesNicolaKelly and #NewspaperUKBrdshtBylineTimesOllyHaynes ^[Muckrack] "The 'Raise the Colours' flag-raising campaign, which claims to be a 'grassroots' campaign for 'unity' and has drawn the support of mainstream political parties and widespread coverage in the British media, has pivoted to stabbing through dinghies and harassing and racially abusing migrants and aid workers in the camps of Northern France ... UKIP leader Nick Tenconi has also been seen in the camps targeting migrants. In one video, Tenconi is seen proclaiming: 'Northern France is now British territory!' Approaching a group in Calais, he shouted: 'You are not welcome in Britain', and asked if they were 'planning to come to Britain illegally.' Individuals acting alone have also been seen in the camps and on the beaches of northern France, including activists with large followings such as 'Ross the Don'. Charity workers say that the number of British far right groups attempting to harass and intimidate migrants and aid workers has increased since the signing of the UK-France 'one in, one out' deal." https://bylinetimes.com/2025/12/18/raise-the-colours-flags-campaign-nigel-farage-migrants-aid-workers-on-french-beaches/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJw0CuQc3Kg #OrgClassifPPUKIndependencePartyUKIPNickTenconi #OrgSyndicateAccordGrassrootsMovement #BeliefTheismChristianityForgivenessMercy #IRLPrivateCitizenRossChildsAKARossTheDon ^{[forum] [tweet]} #BeliefTheismChristianityCrucifix #MetaphorWarfareBattleCapitulateSurrender ^[tweet]
