Unmasking the “Whole-of-Government” DEI Agenda
The real-world
effects of the White House’s diversity initiatives will soon be revealed.
Every nation has an operating ideology. In a country that
hews faithfully to the principles embedded in its written constitution,
that ideology is overt. In a tyrannical government, however, it is
concealed, as the regime preaches one set of values in principle but
pursues the opposite in practice.”
My response: Yes, every nation has an operating ideology. A
democratic country, as traditional America was, hewed faithfully to the
principles embedded in its written constitution, so that ideology is over.
Rufo wisely is observing that people that are just, good,
and wise, are overt and share their agenda—they say what they mean and mean
what they say. They share their noble ideology overtly because transparency
from them is their signal to the public that they are trustworthy and have
nothing to hide, and that is true. Where an ideology is noble or
reasonable, people of good faith can quit playing games, self-refraining
from seeking to one-up each other. Rather, they aim to see and understand
their opponent’s overtly shared agenda, and the public discourse is then
conducted productively in good faith, as the masses sort out their
differences and disputes, and go about crafting practical scenarios about
working out compromise and consensus where both sides give a little, and
gain a lot by combining their ideologies for the common good—or at least
that is the ideal outcome, which sensible people of good faith should be
able to make real, and often are able to amicably approximate in reality.
Under a tyrannical government, or, in our case, where
cultural Marxists are scheming to inflict a totalitarian Marxist regime
upon the American people before they wise up, sneakily inserting that
totalitarian state into our federal governance, under the cover of
darkness, not being exposed as the traitors they are, unstopped while the
masses and conservatives are still strong enough to withstand victoriously
this sneaky revolution. The DEI-obsessed and morally bankrupt Progressives
and Democrats conceal their ideology because it is evil and bad for the
people.
Evil people conceal their evil ideology, not because they
believe it is inferior, or because they feel guilty—neither is their
motive:; no they are moving against the whole people in secret, hoping the
element of surprise will see them installed in power before their wicked
agenda is revealed for what it is: they want to take over and capture the ruling dispensation undetected
before they are caught and defeated.
These hypocrites disguise and conceal their immoral,
wasteful ideology, preaching one set of values in principle, but practice
the opposite set of values in practice. They want to keep and gather all
power unto themselves; they want all control, and will lie, cheat betray
and conceal to win gain the government to impose their sick agenda upon all
who can no longer resist them.
Rufo: “Most Americans believe that our nation today lives up
to its founding principle that all men are created equal. The letter of the
law seems to provide for colorblind equality, according to which
individuals are judged on their talents and virtues, rather than on their
ancestry, religion, or place of origin.
This has not held true in practice, however. Most obviously,
of course, was the long American history of slavery and disenfranchisement
of African Americans. Since 1965, however, when Lyndon Johnson first
implemented the policy of affirmative action in federal contracting, the United States has racially discriminated in favor
of minority groups—maintaining discrimination, but changing the target.”
My response: America is not a perfect place, never was and
never will be, but it historically and presently has been and is pretty
darn good republic despite being such a populous, large nation, despite
past excesses like slavery and treatment of indigenous peoples.
We did the affirmative action thing here since the 1960s,
fine and okay, but it is time to move on the legal discrimination of
affirmative action which favors minorities over whites, Asians, and the
majority.
We need now to abandon group rights and group preference for
any group, and both the letter of the law, the legal underpinning, and the
practice of the law in the land must be confined supporting a society for
individuals and individualists that maverize, a society of colorblind
equality, where citizens compete and succeed—or not—and are rewarded or
punished based upon merited effort, no longer exalted or humbled, grounded
in identity political standards.
People are to judge and be judged on their talents and
virtues, not groupist membership based in ancestry, religion, or place of
origin.
Rufo: “The old rationale was that achieving equal rights for
the previously disenfranchised required a short period of favoritism on
their behalf, which would wither away. But the withering never happened.
Instead, our institutions intensified their commitment to racial
favoritism, right up to the present day, and most recently under the
mandate for diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI.”
My response: We cannot be a free people judging and
rewarding ourselves and each other on any basis except merit and colorblind
equality of individual opportunity to make it or fail on one’s own.
As our governmental and other private institutions
intensified their commitment to racial favoritism, right up to the present
day, under the mandate of diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, that
sets up a racialist and racist totalitarian, socialist regime of vicious
toxicity where formerly oppressed groups are now the new oppressors, and
the vanquished, formerly alleged or actual or partially oppressing groups
or offenders, are now the new victims of racial discrimination. This
perverted, inverted hellish nightmare is the revenge of the social justice
warriors upon lovely American, the least racist, most free and prosperous,
large multi-ethnic country in the world.
Rufo: “One prominent proponent of that policy is Vice
President Kamala Harris, who rose to power on the coattails of racial
politics and, as vice president, has worked to entrench DEI into every
aspect of the federal government.
This agenda was made explicit by her running mate. During
the Democratic primary campaign in 2020, then-candidate Joe Biden committed
to choosing a woman as vice president and to appointing an administration that “will look like
the country,” a polite way of saying that he would consider identity first
and merit second. The following month, he noted
that among his list of potential VPs were “four black women,” and amid a pressure campaign to select one, eventually chose Harris, then senator from
California.
Since then, both Biden and Harris have reinforced their
commitment to racial preferences. “To me, the values of diversity,
equality, inclusion are literally—and this is not kidding—the core
strengths of America,” the president said earlier this year. The vice president, for her part, has denounced those who “say that it is a bad term to talk about DEI.” “
My response: The reverse racist policies of Biden and
Harris, is the Marxist, totalitarian future America unless Trump and Vance
get elected, to thwart their evil designs upon America.
Rufo: “Those commitments have since become federal policy.
On his first day in the Oval Office, President Biden rescinded former
president Donald Trump’s order to “combat offensive and anti-American race
and sex stereotyping and scapegoating,” and replaced it with a new executive order on “racial equity,” which “charged the Federal Government
with . . . addressing systemic racism in our Nation’s policies and
programs” via “an ambitious, whole-of-government approach.”
A few months later, the president issued another executive order, directing the head of each agency to “establish a position
of chief diversity officer,” to “take steps to implement or increase the
availability and use of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility
training programs,” and to issue annual DEI plans and reports to the
president—all in the interest of advancing the administration’s “racial
equity agenda.”
The key word here is “equity.” As Harris explained in a campaign video, an important distinction exists
between “equity” and “equality.” Equity is about “giving people the
resources and support they need, so that everyone can be on equal footing
and then compete on equal footing.” The goal, as distinct from equality’s
directive of equal standing in the law, is equal outcomes:
“Equitable treatment means we all end up at the same place.” “
My response: Equity means the government controls hiring,
firing, wages and entails wealth confiscation and redistribution, for
communism guarantees that totalitarian control of all aspects of
government, institutions, the economy, and money dictates that all have an
equal share of the wealth, enforced equality of outcome. Karl Marx is
smiling wherever he is.
Equality meant strictly and solely as equality under the law
rewards and protects equality of opportunity, but each individual is free
and responsible for how far he goes, and how much he earns.
Rufo: “In other words, Harris wanted to replace the equal
treatment of all individuals with preferential treatment for certain racial
groups. Her desire that all “end up at the same place” recalls the basic
formula of Communism: “From each according to his ability, to each
according to his needs.”
While these executive orders have drawn attention in the
press, their real-world effects have remained mostly hidden—until now.
My team and I have spent months meticulously reviewing
internal documents, contracts, budgets, and ideological material across a
range of federal departments. Together, they paint a stunning portrait. The
federal government not only punishes and rewards individuals based on
racial identity but also has dispensed billions of dollars toward building
a DEI regime spanning government, academia, medicine, and contracting.
The administration has abandoned the old notion of equality
in favor of a pseudo-Marxist ideology that condemns the United States as a
fundamentally racist country, an evil that can only be corrected through
the forced equalization of outcomes.”
My response: Rufo has a rather impressive record for careful
research, not accusing anyone of anything unless he can document their
misbehavior. We are in great and grave danger: if Kamala Harris becomes
President, the soft tyranny version of the totalitarian Marxist state with
legal, enforced and embedded racist policies, previously concealed, reverse
discrimination as a Democratic/leftist ideology now implemented as the law
of the land against whites and other unpopular minorities, will be the open
practice of federal racism all across our great nation when and if she is
President in 2025.
Rufo: “The letter of the law seems to provide for colorblind
equality, according to which individuals are judged on their talents and
virtues, rather than on their ancestry, religion, or place of origin.
Over the course of this month, we will publish a series of
stories investigating these policies and their impact on science, foreign
policy, finance, and government contracting. Together, they will underscore
the need to dismantle DEI and to pursue the only real solution to America’s
racial woes: the principle of colorblind equality.”
My response: The hour is late and America the Greatest could
soon be brought down and destroyed by the Left: they desire so, but they
may realize their dream by inflicting their nightmare future upon all of us,
be we willing to receive it or not.
