To support this effort, RAND researchers conducted a study to examine the opportunities for leveraging workforce diversity to enhance military effectiveness. ...
The study findings show that there are significant opportunities for leveraging workforce diversity to enhance military effectiveness across a wide spectrum of Defence activity. These opportunities cumulatively position diversity as a strategic enabler for the UK and US Armed Forces." https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RRA1026-1.html And https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAND_Corporation

#IRLScholarRuthWodak "Far-right populist parties thrive whenever there is a crisis. They either construct or exaggerate a crisis or instrumentalize existing crises. They create unreal scenarios of threat and danger, and then they position themselves as the only party and the only politicians who can save 'us' from this crisis and danger. In this way, they first create fear and then hope. This is an interdependent pattern. Which is, of course, not new, which has existed for many, many centuries; but they are very clever at employing this pattern." https://www.populismstudies.org/prof-ruth-wodak-i-am-very-worried-about-the-future-of-europe/ #PhenomnPopulism #TheoryPoliticsOfFearInstrumentalisingCrisis #MetaphorWeaponisation

These can be largely explained by declinism, the feeling, shared by many, that their society is in decline, that many of the valued things are being lost or even wilfully destroyed. Many people hold the 'political establishment' responsible for the supposed decline, and therefore become susceptible for populism. Using the example of the inaugural speeches of American presidents, this article also illustrates how declinism is concretely used to argue in favour of the main populist propositions." https://www.clingendael.org/pub/2017/3/declinism-and-populism/ #TheoryDeclinism #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianSamJones "The concepts of the 'strict father' and the 'nurturant parent' were first outlined in Lakoff's 1996 book, Moral Politics: What Conservatives Know that Liberals Don't. In it, he argued that conservatives cherish the idea of the 'strict father,' who believes evil and danger are omnipresent and that he must protect his children by acting as he sees fit. He is not afraid to punish them when they do wrong but is keen to keep them on the path of righteousness, at least until they grow up, when they accept the consequences of their actions.
Liberals, on the other hand, cling to the model of the nurturant parent, a caring, sharing and empathetic figure who believes children develop by contributing to the community - hence they support taxation and civil rights." https://www.theguardian.com/ideas/story/0,,1581195,00.html

At a Florida rally on Sunday the US president sowed confusion by seemingly referencing a non-existent terrorist attack in Sweden, later explaining on Twitter that the comment had been a reference to a news segment on the Fox News TV channel, which described an 'incredible surge of violence' in Sweden.
But two police officers interviewed for the broadcast told Dagens Nyeter newspaper on Monday that their interview had been edited and 'we were answering completely different questions in the interview'. They described the filmmaker who interviewed them, Ami Horowitz, as 'a madman'.
Horowitz denied the accusations, saying he stood by his reporting and that the two policemen were 'probably under a lot of pressure because of what they said'." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/feb/20/swedish-police-comments-taken-out-of-context-in-film-cited-by-trump #IRLYouTuberAmiHorowitz #NewspaperSECompactDagensNyeter

"Malmo, along with other urban centres in Sweden, has one of the highest levels of reported rapes in proportion to population in the EU, mainly due to the strictness of Swedish laws and how rape is recorded in the country.
The rate of reported rapes in Malmo has not dramatically risen in recent years and has in fact declined from its peak in 2010, before the recent large increases in refugees.

#MagazineSlateMatthewDessem "The president of the United States has access to the best foreign intelligence money can buy (about 80 billion dollars worth). But when Donald Trump wants to get the straight dope on the impenetrable mysteries of Sweden, there's only one man he trusts: filmmaker Ami Horowitz. Horowitz was interviewed on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Friday, in a now-notorious segment that gave our marble-mouthed illiterate of a president the vague idea that bad, terrorist-related things were going on there. ...
Carlson only showed a few excerpts from Horowitz's short film Stockholm Syndrome on the segment Trump watched, saving time to interview the filmmaker about refugee aid--or, as Carlson calls it, 'the masochism of the West,'--spread lies about 'no-go zones,' and tut-tut at the luxurious lives of refugees in Sweden.

"Kölnin tapahtumissa samanlaisia piirteitä kuin Tahririn aukiolla* Puolustusministeri Niinistön perjantainen rinnastus Tahririn aukion, Kölnin ja Suomen välillä on ymmärrettävä, arvioi vanhempi tutkija Toni Alaranta Ulkopoliittisesta instituutista.
- Sen lisäksi, että Tahririn aukio muodostui vallankumousliikehdinnän keskukseksi, siellä raportoitiin huomattava määrä sellaisia andistelutapauksia, joissa suuri miesjoukko ympäröi tai saartoi yksittäisen naisen. Oli koudmista ja seksuaalista häirintää.
- Ei tämä ihan käsittämätön rinnastus ole. Kölnin tapahtumissa näyttää olevan selvästi samanlaisia piirteitä kuin Tahririn aukiolla, Alaranta sanoo. [Cologne events have similar features to Tahrir Square* Minister of Defense Niinistö's comparison between Tahrir Square, Cologne and Finland on Friday is understandable, says senior researcher Toni Alaranta from the Foreign Policy Institute.
- In addition to becoming the centre of the revolutionary movement, Tahrir Square reported a significant number of cases of extradition in which a large number of men surrounded or besieged an individual woman. There was bullying and sexual harassment.

Supplementary: #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianMoustafaBayoumi "Rightwing populism is especially devoted to this narrative. From Donald Trump to the Netherlands' Geert Wilders, France's Marine Le Pen and Ukip's Anne Marie Waters, today's demagogues seek to convince the public that they are the true defenders of freedom, courting LGBT votes by dangling the caricature of a dangerous, intolerant and homophobic Muslim in front of their eyes. But this apparent support for LGBT rights is often only skin-deep." https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/aug/07/homophobic-muslim-populist-bogeyman-trump-le-pen #CharacterisationBoogeyman #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump #OrgClassifPPNLPartijVoorDeVrijheidPVVGeertWilders #OrgClassifPPFRRassemblementNationalRNMarineLePen #OrgClassifPPUKForBritainAnneMarieWaters #IdentityLGBTQIA #OtheringCaricatureImperialismMuslimHomophobic

The video conflates the destruction of world heritage artefacts such as the #OrgAFTaliban demolishing Bamiyan Buddhas in #ToponymAfghanistan and Daesh demolishing statues in the Ninevah Museum in Mosul, Iraq with protests over the killing of #IRLDeceasedGeorgeFloyd in May 2020. In doing so, an equivalence is being made between the despicable vandalism of the Taliban and #OrgClassifGrpTerrorismISISDaeshISIL and those #PhenomnStatueToppling celebrating #PowerControlChattelSlavery-traders. #CauseBlackLivesMatterBLM
