A note on scope: The purpose of this article is to simply introduce a few new ideas and get us to think more critically about how we respond to claims of harm in our communities overall. It isn't necessarily to try to give all the answers. A short article like this can hardly cover all the bases, especially for high-impact cases with greater stakes. That said, I hope there is enough common sense within here that can give us shared common sense of ethical clarity that we can build our community dialogue upon.
Introduction: the situation we are currently in
Over the last half-decade, #metoo, as a mass movement has normalized exposure of harmful behaviors in some circles, especially by people who hold ample power, which has obviously resulted in many positive impacts.
I have myself participated in movements to expose the behaviors of powerful white men in my own community although my call-outs of Daniel Foor and Mark Walsh have less to do with misogynist abuse and rather white/Western supremacy and cult dynamics.
For all the good that #metoo has done for us though, it has revealed to us that many of us, even as community organizers in the healing justice movement, are ill-equipped to respond ethically and accountably, when we receive claims of harm. This has resulted in the prevalence of bad faith surveillance and policing within our community.
This issue has been at the crux of the ongoing debates around 'call-out culture' or 'cancel culture'.
The general critique of call-out/cancel culture traditionally has been the claim that: as oppressed people, we cannot afford to reproduce the carceral system within our communities and dispose of our community members.
If I am going to be totally honest, I resonate with the spirit of this critique but I also find it can miss some marks for reasons I explore later in the piece. Truth be told, some of the very people who have harmed me through accountability abuse are devout acolytes of the church of restorative justice, where care work is the main paradigm for practice. (If you would like a more detailed breakdown of my personal experience you're welcome to read this statement I made on Facebook on Nov 1st 2020.)
Continuing on, my proposal, based on my experience of both being both canceler and canceled, sits neither in absolute approval or disapproval of call-outs nor canceling in our community. If anything, I see that the responsibility for 'policing' our communities needs to be redistributed more evenly by all of us working on our skills of discernment in situations where there are reports of harm.
Basically, I believe It is important for every one of us, especially those of us in community organizing roles, to take the time, space, and responsibility to grow the skills necessary to navigate these situations, which are becoming more and more commonplace.
With all this said, below is an experimental guide that outlines some tools we may use to manage claims of harm, compiled from my professional practice, in which I often am called to weigh in on reports of harm, and my private life, in which I have been simultaneously a victim of bullying in the form of accountability abuse, a strong supporter to people who are bringing claims of harm forward, and a claimant who has called for the accountability of community leaders myself.
Defining the problem: traumatic bonding
In speaking to major issues around call-out/cancel culture, it is helpful to define the neurological problem that lies underneath it all: as beings with sensitive empathic nervous systems, receiving claims of harm puts us in a situation that is ripe for traumatic bonding or trauma-bonding.
Traditionally, trauma-bonding has been described as a dynamic between an abuser and co-dependent. Yet more recently, amongst healing justice practitioners, we have emergently started to extend the definition of trauma-bonding to emotionally entangled dynamics where people bond through shared traumatic experiences and begin to project emotions and memories onto each other. Part of this comes from the observation that the underlying dynamic that brings abuser-codependent relationships together is of sharing traumatic experiences such as an abusive childhood or shared ancestral or cultural trauma.
In the field of counseling, this trauma-bonded dynamic is called 'merging' - and it is considered a primary malpractice issue to look out for when we are with clients exposing themselves vulnerably to us. When we merge, we begin to project our unhealed material to our perception of our clients, clouding our judgment. This may lead to harm such as, coercing the client to work through a process when they are not ready, or affirming a claim of harm that was in fact distorted by the client's over-reaction and displacement of unprocessed traumatic material.
My suggestion is that we take this seriously and see that merging, or trauma-bonding, is not optimal for any of our relationships. The reality is, all healthy relationships require a level of differentiation to function well and what follows when differentiation is not there is narcissist-codependent dynamics on the small scale of intimate relationships and cult dynamics on a larger collective scale of special interest communities.
I believe understanding the above is particularly important in doing healing justice work, where our roles as community members, support workers, and organizers necessarily cross over.
Coming back to the original question of, "what we do when we receive claims of harm?", it is critical for us to recognize that this situation can flare up all of our past pain in an instant, leaving our psyche very vulnerable to traumatic bonding and the projection, distortion, and fragmentation that may ensue.
This is the principal pattern we need to avoid within what we refer to as call-out/cancel culture. We need to be able to be differentiated even while we take in claims of harm that can even feel monstrous.
I will be forthcomingly honest here that it has been a major problem that #metoo, as a decentralized campaign, has occupied center space in conversations of how to deal with these kinds of situations. If you stop and take notice, you will see in its very name, #metoo calls for bonding through acknowledging shared traumatic experiences. This may not necessarily always end up in trauma-bonding, and definitely peer support is a crucial aspect of healing as a survivor, but we also have to be realistic that the paradigm does not lend well to the discernment of the company we keep.
Because of this, I believe evolving our approach to effectively navigating claims of harm will require us to think beyond the current dominant paradigm that has been set forward in the last few years.
In this spirit, below are some basic principles that I think can help us re-orient to rightness in terms of how we respond to claims of harm in our community.
Re-Orienting
In order to minimize traumatic-bonding, I have found it helpful to follow these two foundational relational principles that help us psychologically differentiate ourselves when in complex situations.
One: Root in ethics, rather than care.
I find the first and most useful place to re-orient and emotionally disentangle ourselves is to root our behavioral choices in ethics, rather than care.
This may come as a surprise for those of us who understand care to be a foundational principle to a healthy culture of accountability, especially as there is often a perception that healing justice is care-based mutual aid work.
My observation has been that, in practice, 'care' is generally too abstract of a concept to really define appropriate behavior, and also has the natural tendency to pull us emotionally in too many directions as it can have a deep relation to our childhood material around nurturance. A paradigm for justice based on care often has the effect of leading us to burnout and even emotional abuse coming from codependency.
Here it is important to remember that coddling and not challenging the triggered emotional over-reaction of someone, even if they are a survivor, is actually a way we reify re-traumatization. Behind this kind of encouragement is almost always projection that comes from lack of differentiation that is negligence at best and abuse at work.
On the other hand, 'ethics' to me is a deeply helpful concept that allows us to describe a code of action that can be usefully distinguished from care, and the attachment material it brings up, yet still can be caring.
To me, not everyone deserves our care, that is our emotional labor, although everyone deserves our ethical treatment, which will often be caring by nature.
This distinction reveals the critical weakness of our tendency to use mutual care language around matters of justice. In practice, I find passionate sermons for non-disposability, which calls for the 'care' of even the perpetrator, to be deeply vulnerable to corruption through traumatic-bonding.
And even in pragmatic terms, my experience has been that less unnecessary hurt is done by being ethical rather than caring for everyone's emotional vulnerabilities.
Two: Roles and responsibilities come before boundaries
With all the modern popular psychology speak around the sacred space of the individual, it is important for us to understand that we cannot 'set boundaries' in regards to responsibilities that are natural parts of the roles we have in our society, our community, and our relationships.
To make this obvious, for example, a landlord cannot set a boundary that they do not fix toilets when it is part of their natural responsibility of being a landlord.
Of course, real life is more complicated and sometimes our responsibilities are not easily defined, such as when our role is as a parent or mentor. That said, it is important for us to not default to simply drawing boundaries on our individual whim and always consider who we are in relation.
Continuing on, in reports of harm, there are generally four roles: the alleged harmed party, the alleged perpetrator, the informant, and the recipient (us). We require to keep constant track of the responsibilities that show up in each of these roles, as well as the other roles we have that layer on top, such as community organizer or therapist-in-community.
In this particular guide, we will be focusing mostly on our responsibilities as recipients, but I think it will also illuminate the responsibilities of other roles as these are always entangled and related.
Discerning claims
I have found the above re-orienting principles to be extremely useful as they can give us a sense of differentiation and grounding when to the claims of harm we receive.
Following the two principles, the first thing for us to do when receiving a claim is to realize that one of our central responsibilities as a recipient is to hold the informant accountable (who can also sometimes be the alleged harmed party) to a sense of ethics.
In practical terms, this means assessing the validity, actionability, and the good/bad faith nature of a report, and taking appropriate actions based on our discernment.
I want to note here that I believe: the validity of a claim should NEVER be used as criteria to determine whether a person deserves support with appropriate resources.
I was speaking with a colleague, known for their public discourse on restorative justice, who has asked for anonymity, who offered to me that the concept of 'believing survivors' is actually entangled with the fact that many social resources for survivors have been, and continue to be, withheld based on believability.
So in fact, 'believing survivors' is actually a way that we have, in the helping field, internalized the oppressive demand of the social welfare industrial complex, by arguing that claims of harm need to be considered valid by default so alleged harm parties may access help.
Extending this logic further, to not just seek resources but also justice, is obviously a tyrannical disaster.
Because of this, I want to be clear that assessing the validity of a claim is only ever about determining consequence, and that fundamentally, it is not on any survivor to prove the validity of their claim to access the support and resources they need. Being able to make this differentiation between seeking consequence vs. support is connected to being also be psychologically differentiated i.e. not trauma-bonded.
With all this said, below is a non-exhaustive or finalized guide that I believe is a good-enough to be a solid foundation to handle most common situations where we receive a report of harm and there is a need for us to determine consequences.
If the report is coming to us through a third-party informant, does the report have the consent of the alleged harmed party?
If the informant can't produce explicit consent of the original alleged harmed party, we should be healthily skeptical in terms of its validity and actionability.
If this type of claim was brought to us and we are in a community leadership role and are expected to act on it, we need to be diligent that we do not propagate accountability abuse. Particularly, we need to be careful if the reporting may be happening in a way that it is in violation of the alleged harmed party's privacy and consent.
Our responsibility here is to investigate further to find out if the reporting is in good or bad faith.
NOTE: Of course, this issue of consent needs to be looked at in relation to the severity of the claim and if there is a legitimate reason for someone to non-consensually report harm in order to mitigate harm.
How is the informant showing up?
The more an informant is showing consideration for the ethical treatment of all parties and contained emotional regulation (not calm, which can be masked dysregulation), the less risk associated with taking the claim more seriously and acting upon it.
On the other hand, the less an informant is showing consideration for the ethical treatment of all parties and contained emotional regulation, the more risk associated with taking the claim more seriously and acting upon it. In this case, I believe it is natural for us to request names, specific details, receipts, and so on, especially if there is an expectation of us to act in a way that produces consequences.
Also, it is important for us to recognize that high emotional activation introduces more likelihood of distortion of testimony from emotional entanglements and we need to be aware of how that may affect the validity of a claim.
NOTE: Sometimes assessing emotional activation through tone can be difficult, as some people have patterns that manage dysregulation through suppression of emotion and this will be particularly hard to tell through writing.
Are details vague or specific?
Reports that are specific, supported by elements such as receipts and public statements backed by them, are much more actionable, as they have natural accountability built-in where the alleged perpetrator has actual material to respond to.
On the other hand, vague reports without receipts and public statements back by them inherently lack accountability and probably should be considered less valid and less actionable.
NOTE: Vagueness here doesn't refer to the kind of memory slippage that is common in traumatic situations but rather to descriptions such as: "X always pushes boundaries" or "Y was abusive to Z when they were dating".
Is the informant requesting confidentiality and anonymity to the alleged perpetrator?
These reports tend to be the highest risk as they have the least amount of built-in accountability. In most cases, it is wise for us to tread very carefully unless the alleged harmed party is in a situation where they are in obvious threat of harm such as they are an employee or intimate partner of the alleged perpetrator.
If we encounter this, generally, our best route is to support the informant and the alleged party with resources so they may feel safe-brave enough to not require anonymity and/or confidentiality.
Further, if we have the resources, we should be willing to do further investigation ourselves to ascertain the good/bad faith nature of the claim. If we find that they are in bad faith, we may proceed to pursue accountability from the informant.
A real-world example
In order to show how we might practically apply the above guide, I would like to use a real-world example that happened on my social media.
Just recently, I had posted a podcast recording on my social media where I speak to my criticisms of a powerful white man in the somatic industry and someone came into the thread with this claim of the podcast host's behavior.
Note: All of what has transpired and been documented below has happened on public posts and is not from private communications. I have decided to anonymize names, even though it's probably easy to find out who everyone is because the purpose of this sharing is not gossip.
The words "patriarchal bullying" is key here because for many of us in healing justice communities, where there is ample awareness, sometimes even vigilance, around patriarchal violence, being exposed to those words becomes an open invitation for us to traumatically bond.
If we allow ourselves to differentiate though, a few things become illuminated 1) The informant's tone is even by internet standards is easily read as flippant and sarcastic making it likely a high-risk claim 2) The claims themselves are vague descriptions of character that are interpretive 3) This is not about something that has happened to her and we don't know if the informant even has the alleged victim's support in pursuing the matter.
Some research of mine led me to the informant's public feed, which turned up this screenshot of the original complaint of the podcast host's behavior.
Something that immediately pops out here is that the alleged victim is claiming the podcast host requires their consent to reference material of hers that is in the public record. This is a more obvious situation to me: you cannot fence in what belongs in the commons through arbitrary boundaries you set. Regardless of what the podcast host's intentions may be, at face-value, this stands out to me as a likely bad faith request.
For my due diligence, I asked the podcast host what this issue is about. In doing this, I did not ask him questions with any pretense of believing in the claim itself. What was important to me was his response, which was easier to measure in real-time and have a more sovereign discernment of.
The podcast host also explained that he did not publish any private communication of the alleged, which makes her original post a false claim. I have no reason to not believe him given there is a published book that contains hard evidence of this. If this is a lie, he would have no defamation case in the first place.
Another thing we may pay attention to is that the informant's campaigning actually exasperates the damages that the podcast host is suing the alleged victim for, meaning that the informant's behavior has the great potential to harm the alleged victim she is claiming to advocate for. Because of this, I asked the informant and another who showed up to my wall whether they had the alleged victim's approval to pursue this matter in public.
Neither replied affirmatively.
In summary, overall, my conclusion was that the claims that were brought forward to me regarding the podcast host's behaviors were highly self-invalidating and it would be problematic for me to affirm them through my actions.
This does not mean that I necessarily believe the podcast host is incapable of transgressions or cannot have any malignant tendencies. It simply means though that my due diligence has not shown anything that should shift my relationship with him. I may change my opinion in the future based on new evidence and reports, but from the current information available, it would be irresponsible for me to treat him any differently.
I believe that we as healing justice community, in our pursuit of justice that is in whole integrity, have to become open to sitting with the bitterness of accountability as medicine before we open up to the sweet relief of safety and tenderness it may bring.
To me, truly committing to the spirit of accountability, which is also a commitment to the spirit of collective healing, necessarily means letting go of our attachments to over-protecting the emotional vulnerability, or even fragility, of ourselves and others, regardless of our role as an informant, alleged harmed party, alleged perpetrator, or recipient. This requires us to be differentiated and steady even as our nervous system's addictive impulse is to bond beautifully and sensuously through shared pain.
This stance may seem almost cold at first, and even possibly harmful to those who are truly vulnerable, as it takes out of the warm glow of what we call care. Yet, I've found that in real-life situations, being ethical (not necessarily caring) in our considerations around matters such as consent and boundaries is completely capable of providing necessary protection to all parties, especially those who have been harmed.
And moreover, I believe, the warmth we find when we are able to finally land on solid ground, knowing that we are in alignment with our ethics and our responsibilities, not torn by the many directions our attachment traumas throws us in, will be well worth our drudging through the discomfort.

With the goal of improving big rig safety, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recently recommended four changes to tractor-trailer design standards and three changes to crash reporting guidelines. The Board's truck and trailer design recommendations focus largely on improving driver visibility and underride protection and are based primarily on issues raised in a 2013 NTSB safety study on single-unit trucks.
"Millions of large trucks travel our roadways every day, transporting goods and keeping the American economy moving. But research shows that eliminating blind spots and underride events would reduce fatalities and injuries involving other road users," NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman said in a NTSB press release.
The NTSB's new safety recommendations are suggested for newly manufactured truck-tractors and trailers and are summarized below.
Equip truck tractors with a visibility enhancement system to improve the driver's ability to detect passenger vehicles, pedestrians and other road users.
Equip truck tractors with side underride protection systems.
Equip trailers with side underride protection systems.
Revise current standards for trailer rear underride protection systems to protect the occupants of passenger vehicles from fatalities and serious injuries during the occurrence of full-width or offset trailer rear impacts.
Add trailer vehicle ID numbers and model year to the Fatality Analysis Reporting System database for trailers with a gross weight over 10,000 lbs.
In the next edition of the Uniform Crash Criteria Guideline, require reporting of trailer license plate numbers and trailer identification numbers under the motor vehicle license number requirement.

November 11, 2021 / mike shanahan	/ Leave a comment
In April 2021, Fox News issued a rare correction to its viewers after repeatedly reporting that President Biden's climate change plans would force US consumers to cut their intake of red meat by 90%. The initial reporting sparked outrage among conservatives who claimed that Biden was coming for their burgers. But as Fox News later confirmed, none of this was in Biden's plan.
The episode is indicative of two immense challenges. First, any mention of meat in the context of climate change can trigger strong reactions, making it hard to even discuss the topic. Second, the Biden administration's plan — its nationally determined contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement on climate change — contains no reference to reducing either meat production or consumption. This absence is common to the NDCs of the European Union, China and all other G20 countries, and it is glaring.
Livestock production for meat and dairy causes 14.5% of all human-driven greenhouse gas emissions, with cattle responsible for 65% of those. But in policies for addressing climate change, meat has flown under the radar when compared to other sectors with high emissions, such as transport and energy. Policy debates about meat and climate change are messy, deeply political and heavily influenced by powerful vested interests. COP26, the ongoing UN Climate Change Conference, won't solve these challenges, but there are hopes it can at least change the conversation and set a new course.
Livestock emissions on the agenda
Meat and dairy production are significant contributors to climate change because of the vast areas of land needed to raise cattle and grow the foods they eat, as well as from the powerful greenhouse gas methane, which a billion cows burp out each day. As public awareness rises and alternatives to meat grow in popularity, the livestock sector is facing unprecedented pressure.
In response, the meat lobby has been pushing for more intensive livestock farming using improved breeds, different feeds and on-farm technologies, among other proposals, to reduce emissions from the sector. The industry's stance is undermined, however, by accusations of tobacco-style PR campaigns, demonstrably false claims and foot-dragging when it comes to cutting methane emissions.
Tara Garnett, director of Table, a food systems study initiative at the University of Oxford's Environmental Change Institute, points out that more intensification would lower costs and stimulate more demand, potentially increasing overall emissions from the sector, even if emissions per kilo of meat fall. On the other hand, she says, maintaining current levels of consumption by switching to extensive instead of intensive livestock farming would be "catastrophic".
"However you look at it, we're going to have to cut down on animal production," says Garnett. "So the question is, if we're going to cut down, what are the systems we might want to retain because of their value over and above their environmental impacts? And this is where you look at, say, pastoralism in sub-Saharan Africa, which doesn't feed a lot of people but it does feed the people who need it in quite an important way."
Some countries are starting to act. Ethiopia has pledged to reduce emissions in part by replacing some of its non-dairy cattle with chickens, sheep and goats — whose production would have a lower impact on the climate — so long as the nation receives international financial support.
Meanwhile, Denmark legislated this October that emissions in the agriculture sector must fall by between 50% and 65% below 1990 levels by 2030, including by converting some farmland into areas for wildlife and boosting production of plant protein. How the target will be shared among different subsectors, such as meat and dairy, will depend on political negotiations that will also decide how to distribute US$600 million set aside to compensate farmers during the transition.
But, elsewhere, commitments to reduce livestock production are rare. China's NDC under the Paris Agreement refers to reducing emissions from livestock and poultry breeding by improving productivity and refining ways to treat and use manure. The NDCs of the EU and other G20 members are largely silent on how these countries will reduce emissions from the sector, as well as saying nothing about reducing meat consumption.
One potentially promising high-level development has emerged from the first week of COP26. The launch of the Global Methane Pledge, led by the US and EU, and signed by a further 103 countries, commits signatories to a collective reduction in global methane emissions of at least 30% by 2030, compared to 2020 levels. The pledge calls for a "particular focus on high emission sources" and could have implications for meat and dairy production if it prompts the adoption of improved agricultural practices.
Getting the message right
The lack of national targets on livestock emissions is preventing private investment in low-carbon agriculture, says Jeremy Coller, chief investment officer of Coller Capital who, in a recent article, called cows "the new coal" — a soon-to-be-stranded asset. But Brent Loken, global food lead scientist at WWF Global Science, urges a more nuanced framing.
"We're not saying 'get rid of all livestock,'" Loken says. "We don't want to paint livestock as being bad. In some grazing systems, the role of livestock is very important. In some parts of the world, livestock is an extremely important asset for families, and in no way do we want to tell them that this is some kind of stranded asset for them. But what I would say is that any further investment in growth of livestock will probably be a stranded asset."
Loken says changing consumption habits must go hand-in-hand with reducing emissions from the livestock sector. But he points out that two key mechanisms under the Paris Agreement — the NDCs and the Koronivia Joint Work Programme on Agriculture — do not consider consumption-based emissions. These are the emissions caused by what a country consumes, as opposed to by what it produces. They amount to a country's carbon footprint, and there is no requirement for countries to report them.
"One of the things that we're talking about a lot at COP26 is the critical importance to include consumption-based emissions in these processes," says Loken. "We really need to start socialising this idea and bringing negotiators and policymakers along, really helping them to understand why it is critically important to take a food systems approach when they're looking at the NDCs."
Loken says it is too late to expect any specific breakthroughs on meat at COP26, as most countries have already submitted their NDCs. Under the Paris Agreement, the next deadline for revising these national pledges is not until 2025, though a COP26 decision could urge parties to update their NDCs sooner than that. In the meantime, countries have other pathways to follow. Under the UN Food Systems Summit process, most countries are developing strategies for sustainable food systems, and will convene in 2023 to assess progress and set ambitions. These are opportunities to address both production and consumption.
The EU's Farm to Fork Strategy, for example, outlines planned support for the most sustainable, carbon-efficient methods of livestock production, while promoting sustainable consumption and facilitating dietary shifts. Its measures include product labelling to inform consumer choice, supporting research into plant and non-plant alternatives to meat, and developing policies for sustainable food procurement in schools and public institutions. In October, the EU Parliament adopted a resolution welcoming the strategy, and a regulatory framework is due in 2023.
Shifting consumption
With time running out on 1.5C, there is growing frustration at the way the meat and dairy sector has been left out of climate change deliberations. One group pushing for change is the 50×40 network, a broad coalition whose 52 members include the World Resources Institute, Greenpeace and Rainforest Alliance.
The network aims to reduce production and consumption of meat and other animal products by 50% by 2040, and ensure that all remaining production is environmentally and socially sustainable. It is urging countries taking part in COP26 to recognise the need to cut production and consumption of industrialised livestock, and ensure a just transition for those involved in the sector. They can expect resistance from the livestock industry to any major change.
"While the greenhouse gas impact of producing beef is high compared to other foods, raising cattle has many environmental benefits and plays a key part of the circular economy within agriculture," says Fawn Jackson, director of policy and international relations at the Canadian Cattlemen's Association, which represents 55,000 farms with more than 12.2 million cattle. "A reduction in beef consumption with the purpose of reducing greenhouse gases could have significant unintended negative environmental impacts, including further loss of native grasslands and stored soil carbon due to farming."
Greenhouse gas emissions from Canadian beef are, Jackson says, less than half the global average. But elsewhere, the expansion of cattle production has resulted in widespread deforestation, including to grow the animals' food. Beyond the climate impacts, intensive animal farming is responsible for significant air and water pollution, and degradation of land and soils.
Amid industry opposition to reducing meat consumption, there are growing calls for meat taxes. Few politicians are prepared to interfere with consumer choice or tell voters that the price of meat must rise. Yet according to recent surveys in France, Germany and the Netherlands, most consumers would support a meat tax if the revenues were used to reduce the cost of vegetables and fruit.
"I think one of the only ways to influence consumer choice is not through education campaigns — it is really through something like a tax," says Loken. "How we get there, I don't know. But at least it's being talked about and that's a positive sign.
"My fear is that it is not being talked about quickly enough in order to be able to reduce emissions. If we had another 50 years to play with and bring public support along with us, I'd be a bit more optimistic. But we don't. The next decade is the most important decade for us to be able to tackle these problems."

What Is The Difference Sig Sauer P320
Glock 19 vs. Sig Sauer P320: Which is Better? – The P320 also has all.
Shooting the guns reveals some differences between them, but again nothing major. The Glock 19, as you already know, shoots great. The Sig is highly regarded for its.
Glock 19 vs. Sig Sauer P320: Which is Better? – In addition, both of these weapons have the same carrying capacity. The huge difference between the Sig P320 and the Glock 19, though, is the modularityof the Sig. "Modularity" is one of those.
When comparing the SIG Sauer P320 vs Glock 17, you're looking at a newer design vs evolution of a design that has been around since the 1980s. From a mechanical standpoint, firearm technology hasn't changed drastically in the last 40 years, but there have been major refinements.
So I'm trying to figure out the main differences in a few of the P320 models outside of frame/barrel/grip size. I know the RX models have the slide.
Review: SIG Sauer MODX-9 Suppressor – SIG Sauer recently released two new pistol-caliber suppressors that are distinctly different in several ways from the company.
Sig Sauer's P320 is now available in 11 different configurations, ranging from the Subcompact with a 3.6-inch barrel to Full-Size models using.
P320 owners are giving their guns rave reviews! Here's what some of them are saying. With its unmatched modularity, unprecedented accuracy, and uncompromising reliability, the state-of-the-art SIG SAUER P320 has quickly become one of the most sought after firearms on the market today.
Weapons: The Low Bidder And The M9 Tragedy – The new pistol is a variant of the SIG Sauer P320, which lost out to the Baretta in 1985 because the Baretta 9mm was a little cheaper. The M9 replaced the M1911 11.4mm (.45 caliber) pistol. The M9.

The SIG P320 has a simple and yet refined look to it that appeals to the eye but doesn't overwhelm you. Just get the Compact/Carry model and do what I did with the subcompact frame and magazine. The only difference between this configuration and the dedicated subcompact is .3" of barrel and.
The MAIN difference between the two is that P320 uses striker fired mechanism while the P250 uses double action hammer system. NOTE: Sig Sauer P320 won the US military XM17 MHS (Modular Handgun System competition) on 19th January 2017. In case you're wondering what this competition.

Speaking of Race: Spoken Word and Racial Identity – MMXLII
Speaking of Race: Spoken Word and Racial Identity
March 8, 2013 by mmxlii
Gillian Sherif is a senior at UC Berkeley, studying English with a focus on contemporary literature, poetry, and mixed race studies. She is currently writing an honors thesis that analyzes the performance of marginalized racial identities in spoken word and their influence on individual and societal constructs of race. Hit the jump to read her understanding of race as well as see the very poems she is referencing in her thesis.
By Gillian Sherif
It wasn't until I sat down with a professor to talk about poetry for my honors thesis at UC Berkeley, that I realized I had been completely wrong about race. I always thought that when a poet stepped on stage and silently approached the mic, before breath was drawn and first words spoken, the audience would begin piecing together skin color, hair type, and facial features to determine that poet's race, gender, class and a myriad of other characteristics. In support of my position, I told my professor about a poet I mistook for Caucasian, because of her blue eyes and blonde hair, when really she is Mexican. Which is when my professor interrupted me, "Well, what does it mean, racially, to be Mexican?"
I rattled off the ancestries that make Mexico their home; Spaniards, Anglo Europeans, Africans, and Indigenous peoples, all have contributed to the modern makeup of the Mexican race. My professor asked, "So first, why did you assume the poet had only one Ethnic ancestry? And second, why are you using the term "Mexican" like it's only one race?"
I was embarrassed. Here I was, writing a thesis about the perception of race in performance poetry, completely oblivious to my own preconceived notions of race. I knew Mexico was, and is, an ethnically diverse country; I knew Mexico was colonized by Europeans; I had met European looking Mexicans before; most embarrassingly, I had personally experienced the misidentification of my own ethnic ancestry. Yet, I unconsciously assumed that race existed in easily identifiable and delineable categories.
The thing is, my inflexible understanding of race is not an isolated phenomenon. There are parts of the world where the conception of race is fluid, but the United States is not one of those places. We have inherited the ideology that races are distinct and separate, the vestige of our historical relationship to race and racism. Like the one-drop rule[1] exemplified how Americans considered race a binary, today, Native American blood quanta[2] and the strict racial classifications in the census,[3] are institutional manifestations of the assumption that race exists in hierarchical categories.
With a Black man in The White House, and an exponential increase in multiracial children[4], it's easy to throw around the idea of a post-racial America. And a post-racial America is what I wanted to explore in my thesis. Could the performance of non-stereotypical racial identities in spoken word represent larger America's transcendence of antiquated racist norms? Did Omar Holman, a young tattooed black man claiming "I am that nerd that never scored a winning touchdown for the team but was an English class MVP/ report cards looking like Duracell batteries – triple A's," affect or represent a change in what Americans think about young Black men? Could Beau Sia, an Asian-American man dressed in an effeminate pink turtleneck, convince Americans that the egg roll should be "recognized as an American food"?
I'm still not sure what these different representations of race mean for America, but I am skeptical of the utopian potential some performance theorists see in spoken word. Because even poets that represent alternatives to stereotypical racial archetypes still operate, to a certain extent, within racist stereotypes. For example, Omar Holman, despite his clever word play and hilarious representation of his identity as a young black nerd, uses some language that still perpetuates the stereotype of the violent, criminal, and misogynistic young black man. Holman repeatedly uses the word "bitch" in his piece and he refers to himself as an "internet soldier and MySpace gangster." One could say that Holman's performance is an example of how a conventional African American man can also be a nerd. However, Holman accesses conventional masculinity through the same tired and racist tropes of violence, crime, and misogyny. The way Holman represents his masculinity is of particular concern because White male poets that identify as nerds do not reinforce their manhood in this chauvinistic way. I also wonder what it means that in a poem about being a nerd, Holman feels the need to reinforce his masculinity.
Admittedly, Holman's piece is a vastly different portrayal and interpretation of African American masculinity than conventional American archetypes, despite his proximity to racist stereotype. At least for me, Holman's piece prompted a critical examination of what black masculinity means, and disrupted some of my preconceived assumptions. It is possible, that the audiences Holman performs for are having similar conversations. Like I was forced to rethink what it meant to be Mexican when I was confronted by my professor, Holman's piece about identity forces poets and audiences to question our fundamental constructions of race. And ultimately, it is only through the recognition, and questioning of these beliefs that on can transcend the subconscious racism all of us carry with us as Americans.
[1]A law during the slavery and Jim Crow eras that insisted even "one drop" of African blood prevented a person from claiming the status and rights of Whites; a person was either White or non-White.
[2] Blood Quanta are laws enforced by the federal government on Native communities to regulate who can receive tribal benefits. The laws establish a legal threshold based on blood percentage for what individuals can legally register with a tribe. In most cases an individual can be no less than ¼ Native American to qualify for the tribe.
[3] Until 2000 the census didn't allow citizens to claim more than one race. Currently the census only lists 5 racial categories and "other".
[4] As of the 2010 census 2.9% of the population, 9 million people, identified themselves as multiracial. Among children mixed-race is the fastest growing racial category, increasing 50% between 2000 and 2010. Including 57 different racial combinations.

New centre to help unlock potential of the UK's rural economies
Newcastle University Centre for Rural Economy (CRE) and Business School will lead a new National Centre to support enterprise, resilience and innovation among rural firms and unlock the untapped potential of rural economies across the UK.
Creating resilient and sustainable economies
Led by experts from Newcastle, Warwick, Gloucestershire and the Royal Agricultural Universities, and working with businesses, policy makers, enterprise agencies and communities, the Centre has been awarded £3.8 million of funding by Research England.
In England alone, rural businesses comprise over half a million enterprises, 3.6 million employees and contribute over £260 billion to GDP. Yet despite this, they are still largely underexplored and underutilised.
Through the National Innovation Centre for Rural Enterprise (NICRE), the aim is to help build the capabilities of policy makers, support agencies, rural businesses and their advisers to create resilient and sustainable economies fit for the 21st century.
"A thriving rural economy is crucial to the future prosperity, well-being and resilience of communities across the UK" says Centre Director Jeremy Phillipson, Professor of Rural Development at Newcastle University.
"The need to encourage and release the dynamism and untapped potential of rural areas is even greater now with the combined uncertainty of Brexit and impacts of Covid-19 and what the implications will be, not just for rural areas, but for the UK economy as a whole.
"Our aim is to strengthen the evidence base relating to rural innovation and enterprise to encourage more effective policy making and support for rural firms and communities at local and national levels. We will work actively with businesses, rural communities and economic development agencies at the local level to share learning and test new approaches to innovation and enterprise."
Economic challenges
Though the decision to fund NICRE was taken before the outbreak of Covid-19, its work will help to understand the ongoing impacts in rural areas and inform recovery. The Centre will begin its work formally this September, but the current crisis means its partners are already working to support the national response to the pandemic.
A key focus for NICRE will be to identify and release rural contributions to our country's long term challenges and opportunities – an ageing society, need for clean growth, future mobility and the data revolution - identified as Grand Challenges in the UK's Industrial Strategy.
Richard Baker, Head of Strategy and Policy at the North East Local Enterprise Partnership, explains: "The National Innovation Centre marks an important milestone in the development of key economic assets in the region and will contribute to our regional economic strategy development. NICRE's multi-disciplinary approach which will combine research programmes and evaluation of practice in delivery offers a unique opportunity to tackle both opportunities and deep-seated economic challenges in our rural communities. It couldn't be more timely as we work together to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic and plan the North East's recovery programme, and consider changes ahead in rural policy now we have left the European Union.
"The North East Local Enterprise Partnership welcomes the plan for collaborative development of solutions that foster rural innovation and enterprise to raise the economic productivity and protect the vibrancy and dynamism of our rural areas. It is also good that through NICRE we will be able to work with other rural regions across England to learn from the experience of different places."
James Farrell, Head of Rural at Strutt & Parker, said: "The strategic timeliness of the Centre could not be better. The government has repeatedly said that the changes that Brexit will cause are a once in a generation opportunity to introduce new ways of supporting our economy to reach its potential. The National Innovation Centre for Rural Enterprise can provide much of the research, knowledge transfer and support for businesses, and exemplars that are needed to do this, which is why we are delighted to help develop and support it."
Gary Brockway, Partner at Baldwin's Accountancy, added: "Baldwins is uniquely well placed to support NICRE. Our focus on SME businesses, which includes many rural companies, gives us an unparalleled insight into what those companies need to thrive. If that understanding can be fed into how government policy supports the rural economy, then that will drive better outcomes for rural business at all levels. The launch of NICRE is timely, given the impact on rural business from Covid-19, as well as the likely further impact from Brexit later in the year."
Catalysing innovation
NICRE is the third National Innovation Centre to be led by Newcastle University – alongside the National Innovation Centres for Data (NICD) and Ageing (NICA).
Commenting on this latest addition to the portfolio of Innovation Centres based in the Catalyst building on the Helix campus in Newcastle city centre, Professor Brian Walker, Pro-Vice Chancellor for Research Strategy & Resources at Newcastle University, said: "The Innovation Centres have been designed to catalyse interactions between expert researchers in the universities with innovators in business and in policy making. This approach is key to rejuvenating the economy in the North East of England and across the UK."
A thriving rural economy is crucial to the prosperity, well-being and resilience of communities. We will work with businesses, rural communities and economic development agencies to share learning and test new approaches to innovation and enterprise

President Donald Trump Proclaims January 22nd "National Sanctity of Human Life Day"
Since abortion was legalized in the United States in 1973, U.S. presidents have followed a long tradition where left-wing presidents praise abortion and right-wing presidents praise life.
Right-wing presidents proclaim January 22nd "National Sanctity of Human Life Day," just as U.S. president Donald Trump did in 2020. The first president to make such proclamation was Ronald Reagan in 1984. This proclamation was continued under George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, and it was discontinued under Bill Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama.
Trump has resumed it.
Even though Trump has celebrated the decline in the number and rate of abortions in the United States, most of this decline does not seem to stem exclusively from pro-life efforts. Less and less U.S. women are having babies. Even the CDC recognizes that the U.S. birthrate is in record slump. In fact, the U.S. is facing its lowest birthrate in its history, meaning that there are less births and, consequently, less abortions.
The main cause of the low birthrate in the U.S. is contraception, supported by a contraceptive mindset that always leads to abortion. So if Americans can celebrate abortion diminishing, how to have a true celebration when the births of American babies are in record slump?
Abortion was legalized right under the administration of Republican president Richard Nixon.
People in other nations could argue, "But such events affect just the U.S., not the world." Immediately after the legalization of abortion in the U.S., the CIA, the State Department and USAID under a Republican administration produced NSSM 200, outlining strategies for the U.S. government to reduce the world population mainly through contraception.
Under NSSM 200, the U.S. government worked to reduce the population of several nations, and one of the main nations marked was Brazil, which today is facing a birth decline — just as NSSM 200 planned. Cannot the U.S. under Trump revert what a Republican administration began?
Trump should work not only to end abortion, but also end and revert the population control policies of the U.S. government, since the 1970s.
It would be so important if Trump became the first U.S. president to recognize the evils of contraception in the U.S. society and in the world and encouraged people to value large families. Yet, his willingness to continue the tradition of Reagan by recognizing the "National Sanctity of Human Life Day" is very important too.
Below is the full text of President Trump's Proclamation:
Every person — the born and unborn, the poor, the downcast, the disabled, the infirm, and the elderly — has inherent value. Although each journey is different, no life is without worth or is inconsequential; the rights of all people must be defended. On National Sanctity of Human Life Day, our Nation proudly and strongly reaffirms our commitment to protect the precious gift of life at every stage, from conception to natural death.
Recently, we have seen decreases in the total number and rate of abortions in our country. From 2007-2016, the most recent period of analysis, the number and rate of abortions decreased by 24 percent and 26 percent, respectively. The rate of teen pregnancies — the vast majority of which are unplanned — has almost continuously decreased over the last quarter century, contributing to the lowest rate of abortions among adolescents since the legalization of abortion in 1973. All Americans should celebrate this decline in the number and rate of abortions, which represents lives saved. Still, there is more to be done, and, as President, I will continue to fight to protect the lives of the unborn. I signed into law legislation under the Congressional Review Act that allows States and other grantees to exclude organizations that perform abortions from their Title X projects. My Administration has also issued regulations to ensure Title X family planning projects are clearly separated from those that perform, promote, or refer for abortion as a method of family planning; to protect the conscience rights of healthcare workers and organizations, including with respect to abortion; and to ensure the Federal Government does not force employers that object, based on religious belief or moral conviction, to provide insurance for contraceptives, including those they believe cause early abortions. Additionally, I have called on the Congress to act to prohibit abortions of later-term babies who can feel pain.
My Administration is also building an international coalition to dispel the concept of abortion as a fundamental human right. So far, 24 nations representing more than a billion people have joined this important cause. We oppose any projects that attempt to assert a global right to taxpayer‑funded abortion on demand, up to the moment of delivery. And we will never tire of defending innocent life — at home or abroad.
As a Nation, we must remain steadfastly dedicated to the profound truth that all life is a gift from God, who endows every person with immeasurable worth and potential. Countless Americans are tireless defenders of life and champions for the vulnerable among us. We are grateful for those who support women experiencing unexpected pregnancies, those who provide healing to women who have had abortions, and those who welcome children into their homes through foster care and adoption. On National Sanctity of Human Life Day, we celebrate the wonderful gift of life and renew our resolve to build a culture where life is always revered.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 22, 2020, as National Sanctity of Human Life Day. Today, I call on the Congress to join me in protecting and defending the dignity of every human life, including those not yet born. I call on the American people to continue to care for women in unexpected pregnancies and to support adoption and foster care in a more meaningful way, so every child can have a loving home. And finally, I ask every citizen of this great Nation to listen to the sound of silence caused by a generation lost to us, and then to raise their voices for all affected by abortion, both seen and unseen.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-first day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fourth.

Batwoman Becomes Batlesbian: How Superheros Are Used in the LGBTQ Propaganda Machine to Normalize Sodomy to Teenagers
The LGBTQ Gestapo treats as a "crime" any sign of a man renouncing homosexuality, but LGBTQ activism does whatever it wants to whoever it wants. LGBTQ activism has used beloved superhero characters which many Americans grew up reading about in comic books to propagandize a lifestyle contrary to biological sex.
On January 19, 2020, the episode of the CW's Batwoman television series, Batwoman, represented by actress Ruby Rose, announced to the world what gay propagandists call "sexual orientation" — she's now Batlesbian.
For those that don't follow the Batman universe, Batwoman is really Kat Kane, the cousin of Bruce Wayne, whose alter ego is Batman.
Batwoman tells a teenager about herself after hearing about the teen's parents refusing to accept her homosexuality. Actually, this was sheer propaganda to encourage teenagers confused about their biological sexuality. Normally, when teenagers are confused about drugs, parents and other wise adults encourage them to shun drugs.
Homosexuality is not less addictive and destructive than drugs. The way to help teenagers to avoid addictive and destructive behaviors is to encourage them by law and propaganda. On December 2019 President Donald Trump raised the legal smoking age from 18 to 21 for both cigarettes and vapes to protect young people of the evils of smoking.
While no similar measure is launched to protect young people, gay exploiters and predators will keep using their strategies to transform everything in LGBTQ to influence and impact teenagers. They will not stop. Just like Big Tobacco, their propaganda should be stopped.
The Batwoman series debuted in October 2019 on the CW and was promoted as the first superhero series in television history to feature an avowed LGBTQ character as the central character.
They will not stop launching and transforming traditional superhero characters into LGBTQ propagandists until they are stopped in their tracks.
If Russia was able to ban homosexual propaganda to children and teenagers, why cannot the U.S. follow this good example to protect American children and teenagers?

Saudi Impunity on American Soil: FBI finds Saudi Arabia helps its citizens escape the U.S. after serious crimes while U.S. officials look the other way
A new report from the FBI has revealed that the Islamic dictatorship of Saudi Arabia "almost certainly" helps its citizens escape prosecution for serious crimes they are charged with in the U.S., and American officials have looked the other way for years.
"(Saudi) officials are unlikely to alter this practice in the near term unless the US Government (USG) directly addresses this issue with (Saudi Arabia) and ties US cooperation on (Saudi) priorities to ceasing this activity," according to the FBI.
It is the first time a federal law enforcement agency acknowledged the "secret" practice of Saudi Arabia.
To make things worse, if a Saudi who committed a crime in the U.S. escapes to Saudi Arabia there is no chance for justice. While allies, the U.S. and Saudi Arabia do not have an extradition treaty, making it difficult and unlikely that a Saudi citizen charged with a crime in the U.S. would be released without diplomatic or political pressure.
Among cases of Saudi Arabia helping its citizens to escape the U.S. justice is a Saudi student wanted for killing a 15-year-old girl in Oregon almost four years ago.
Abdulrahman Sameer Noorah, 21, was due to stand trial in Portland in June 2017, but vanished nine days before the start date.
He was on bail on a single count of manslaughter for allegedly killing Fallon Smart by running her over as she crossed the road on August 19, 2016.
Noorah, who was studying on a scholarship at Portland Community College, was driving on a suspended license at the time.
Despite Fallon's families' pleas to deny him bail, it was set at $1million and a tenth, $100,000, was paid by the Saudi Arabian embassy in Los Angeles, triggering his release.
The conditions of his release stated that he had to remain under house arrest. As part of his bail conditions, Noorah was forced to surrender his passport.
Nine days before his trial was due to start, however, police discovered that the electronic ankle bracelet he was forced to wear had been removed and were unable to find him.
He was then later believed to have fled on a private jet with the help of his country's consulate. He vanished after being picked up from his college campus in a black SUV.
U.S. authorities suspect Noorah used an illicit passport to escape to Saudi Arabia on a private jet provided by the Saudi consulate.
Saudi officials confirmed to U.S. authorities that Noorah had returned to Saudi Arabia seven days after he went missing.
Officials with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and US Marshals Service are certain the Saudi government was involved in Noorah's escape.
An investigation by The Oregonian revealed that four other Saudi students, who were studying in Oregon and facing similar circumstances to Noorah, had also fled the U.S. in recent years.
All were young men studying at one of Oregon's public colleges or universities with assistance from Saudi Arabia.
Waleed Ali Alharthi, who was an Oregon State University student, was found allegedly in possession of child porn in April of 2015.
Police said they found pornographic videos on his laptop involving children. He was arrested and booked on 10 counts of encouraging child sex abuse.
The consulate also put up the security deposit for his $500,000 bail. Later, he fled. He was flown from Mexico City to Paris to Saudi Arabia.
In a similar case a few years prior, Abdulaziz Al Duways was arrested in December 2014 over the rape of a female classmate at Western Oregon University.
He was charged with rape and held on a $500,000 bond. Days later, a Saudi consulate official paid his bond and Al Duways vanished before he faced court.
In 2012, Oregon State University student Ali Hussain Alhamoud was charged with raping a young woman.
He was released on bail, which the Saudi government posted, and he flew back to Saudi Arabia that same day.
Sami Suliman Almezaini, of Gallatin County, Montana, is accused of raping his female roommate in July 2017, the same month he disappeared.
Saud Alabdullatif, of Spokane County, Washington, disappeared in May 2016. He was charged with forcible second-degree rape and unlawful imprisonment after he forced a woman to perform oral sex on him that month.
Abdullah Almakrami, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, disappeared one month after he allegedly sexually assaulted a woman in March 2014.
Hani Alshammary, of Erie County, Pennsylvania, is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in April 2014.
He was charged with attempted rape, forcible compulsion, unlawful restraint, harassment and disorderly conduct.
Fahad Al Ghuwainem, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, disappeared in December 2014, two months after he allegedly raped a man with a male accomplice after the three linked up at a gay bar.
Siraj Marakeey, of Snohomish County, Washington, disappeared July 1991. He was accused of first-degree rape for sexually assaulting a child in June 1991.
These are not the only Saudi crimes overlooked by U.S. officials. There are vastly bigger crimes. There is the 9/11, committed by mostly Saudi terrorists. Yet, Saudi Arabia "warned it would start selling as much as $750 billion in Treasuries and other assets if Congress passes a bill allowing the kingdom to be held liable in U.S. courts for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks."
If Iranians had raped and killed Americans on American soil, it would be impossible for them to escape from the U.S., especially with the aid of the Iranian embassy and consulates.
If Iranians had committed the 9/11, it would be impossible for Iran to escape from the U.S. military interventions.
Saudi Arabia goes unpunished for any of its misdeeds because it is "one of America's largest foreign creditors."
So this is the reason that the U.S. military deploys thousands of young Americans to die "patriotically" for the Saudis. And for the sake of Saudis, the U.S. military kills. They killed an Iranian general — obviously, to please Saudis, who hate Iranians.
In his article "US Debt Got Us Hooked On Petrodollars… And On Saudi Arabia," author Ryan McMaken said,
"But why should the US continue to so robustly support this dictatorial regime? Certainly, these close relations can't be due to any American support for democracy and human rights. The Saudi regime is one of the world's most illiberal and anti-democratic regimes. Its ruling class has repeatedly been connected to Islamist terrorist groups, with Foreign Policy magazine last year calling Saudi Arabia 'the beating heart of Wahhabism — the harsh, absolutist religious creed that helped seed the worldviews of al Qaeda and the Islamic State.' … The answer lies in the fact the Saudi state is at the center of US efforts to maintain the dollar as the world's reserve currency, and to ensure global demand for US debt."
In 1974 the U.S. made a devil's deal with Saudi Arabia: Saudi Arabia and its Islamic allies would use only dollars for their oil transactions, strengthening the dollar as the world currency, and the U.S. would protect Saudi Arabia from its geopolitical enemies. The deal also included that Saudi Arabia had to invest in the U.S. and buy the massive U.S. debt. Saudi Arabia has done it, and as result the U.S. is, through its own debts, enslaved to Saudi Arabia.
So it is no wonder that whatever Saudi Arabia does in the U.S., against the U.S., against other nations and against Christians, the U.S. government just looks the other way. In fact, the U.S. not only does look the other way but also looks positively on Saudis even when nothing is positive. State Secretary Mike Pompeo, when he was the CIA director, visited Saudi Arabia to reward them for their efforts "against terrorism." Did he add "good behavior" for Saudis involved in the 9/11? This reward was not result of reality. It was the act of a nation in debt pleasing its creditor.
Pompeo, who is an evangelical, traveled to Saudi Arabia representing the U.S. government and Christianity, because whatever post you have, you cannot dissociate your Christianity from it. The anti-reality reward was given by a U.S. citizen representing the U.S. government and evangelicals.
Is it any wonder that churches are closing and mosques are opening in America? The answer may be in the morally and spiritually disastrous deal of the U.S. with Saudi Arabia, where the former is enslaved to the latter through a massive and deep debt. The answer may be also in U.S. evangelicals, like Pompeo, accepting for America to submit to a terrorist Islamic dictatorship. Pat Robertson, one of the most prominent U.S. evangelical leaders, has completely excused the massive U.S. deals where American weapons are sold and transferred to Saudi Arabia — to aid and abet Saudi crimes, including crimes against Christians.
Will America with her evangelicals spend all the eternity pleasing her Saudi terrorist creditors?

Brazilian top culture official fired after quoting Nazi Goebbels while talking about nationalist art in a video as Hitler's favorite composer played in the background
Brazil's top culture official was fired on January 17, 2020 after using phrases used by Hitler's right-hand man, Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Germany's minister of propaganda.
Roberto Alvim
The outrage was immediate, culminating in calls for the removal of Roberto Alvim, who was appointed, under the influence of Olavo de Carvalho, special secretary of culture by Brazil's nationalist President Jair Bolsonaro.
"It is an unfortunate pronouncement, even with his apologies, making his tenure unsustainable," Bolsonaro tweeted. "I reiterate our condemnation of totalitarian ideologies and genocides, like Nazism and Communism, as well as any type of allusion to them."
Alvim's scandal was a disappointment for Bolsonaro, who said recently about him: "After decades, we do have a real Culture Secretary."
Roberto Alvim made the controversial comments while discussing a new art prize in a video distributed by the Bolsonaro administration. Lohengrin by Wagner, Hitler's favorite composer, played in the background.
Alvim acknowledged the similarity between his speech and the speech of Goebbels and he has even disavowed Nazism but said it was merely a "rhetorical coincidence." When confronted by a journalist that his speech was based on Goebbels's speech, Alvim admitted that he was aware of the similarity, but he defended its use adding that it was perfect.
The "rhetorical coincidence" of Alvim became an international scandal, with headlines in the U.S. saying:
* Washington Post: "Brazil's culture secretary fired after appearing to paraphrase Nazi propaganda in speech."
* New York Times: "Brazil's Top Culture Official Fired Over Speech Evoking Nazi Propaganda."
* Time magazine: "Brazil's Culture Minister Fired After Quoting Joseph Goebbels in a Speech."
In his speech Alvim said:
"The Brazilian art of the next decade will be heroic and will be national, will be endowed with great capacity for emotional involvement… deeply linked to the urgent aspirations of our people, or else it will be nothing."
Parts of it are identical to a speech quoted in the book "Joseph Goebbels: A Biography," by German historian Peter Longerich, who has written several works on the Holocaust:
"The German art of the next decade will be heroic, it will be steely-romantic, it will be factual and completely free of sentimentality, it will be national with great Pathos and committed, or it will be nothing."
Alvim said in a radio interview that he chose the music himself, because the work is transcendent and stemmed from Wagner's Catholic faith. Wagner was a Catholic who did not like Jews. This is the main reason Hitler loved him.
Speaking in a separate recorded message, with a wooden cross atop his desk, Alvim said he wants 2020 to mark a historic cultural rebirth to "create a new and thriving Brazilian civilization."
Following release of his taped video, Brazil's Israeli confederation Conib said in a statement: "To emulate [Goebbels'] view… is a frightening sign of his vision of culture, which must be combated and contained." It called for his immediate removal, adding: "Brazil, which sent brave soldiers to combat Nazism on European soil, doesn't deserve it."
Germany's embassy in Brazil condemned the speech in a post on Twitter, saying that it opposed "any attempt to banalize or glorify" an era that "brought infinite suffering for humanity."
Goebbels led the Ministry of Enlightenment and Propaganda, designed to brainwash people into obeying the Nazis and idolizing Adolf Hitler and his nationalism. Its methods included censorship of the press and control of radio broadcasts, as well as control of culture and arts.
President Jair Bolsonaro made the decision to fire Alvim after a backlash from Jewish organizations, key lawmakers, political parties, artists and Brazil's bar association.
U.S. newspapers suggested that the guiding force of Alvim's radicalism was evangelicalism. The Washington Post said, "Alvim has been one of the most militant cultural warriors in the Bolsonaro government… he converted to evangelicalism after a nearly fatal cancer diagnosis."
The Associated Press said that Alvim "is a born-again Christian who found renewed faith while recovering from cancer."
"Born-again" is a term associated with evangelicalism. But Alvim is not an evangelical or even Protestant. In an interview with the Brazilian newspaper Gazeta do Povo, he said he had a tumor in his belly and permanent fever. He was healed after the evangelical babysitter of his son asked to pray for him. But his connection with evangelicalism ended in this point. After this dramatic and miraculous experience, instead of looking for an evangelical church, he got involved with Olavo de Carvalho and his movement that includes syncretic Catholicism. He began to attend the Catholic Church every day.
So the effort of the Washington Post, the Associated Press and other U.S. media to associate Alvim to evangelicalism is not realistic. The radicalism they saw in him does not stem from evangelicalism, but exclusively from Carvalho and his syncretic Catholicism.
On May 11, 2019 Alvim said on his Facebook:
"Given how much Professor Olavo de Carvalho has done for all of us, in view of the magnificent books that he has with so much sacrifice and care bequeathed us, the least we can do is to support him unconditionally."
And on November 15, 2019, Carvalho, who is a self-exiled Brazilian in the U.S. since 2005, said on his Facebook:
"I repeat the warning: From my courses and books, whoever is smart gets smarter, whoever is stupid goes crazy."
Bolsonaro had appointed Alvim not because evangelicals recommended him. He appointed by Carvalho's recommendation.
So how can the Washington Post and the Associated Press suggest that Alvim and his crazy radicalism are evangelical? They are 100 percent Carvalho's Catholicism.
On Twitter, Alvim regularly uses the hashtag DeusVult, echoing the traditional Catholic battle cry of Middle Ages crusaders. Carvalho has also a fixation on the Middles Ages, especially the Inquisition, which he defends passionately.
If Carvalho and his adherents can defend the Inquisition, which persecuted, tortured and killed multitudes of Jews, why cannot he and his adherents also defend Nazism, which likewise persecuted, tortured and killed of Jews?
If an intelligent man enrolls in Carvalho's courses, he will easily see Carvalho's crazy advocacy of the Inquisition against the Jews. If he does not see, Carvalho's prophecy is fulfilled in him: the idiot ends crazy.
Because of massive backlash, Carvalho disavowed his former pupil Alvim.
Yet, Carvalho, who is considered Bolsonaro's Rasputin, recommended Alvim to Bolsonaro not because Alvim is an idiot. On the contrary, Carvalho recommends only his best pupils. And his best pupil showed all the crazy culture he learned from his master.
Even though Carvalho disavowed Alvim, the Nazi connections are real. For years, Carvalho was the biggest propagandist in Brazil of the Islamic occultist René Guénon, whose most prominent disciple was Julius Evola, who wrote books advocating occultism and the right-wing ideology. Evola was a guru of the Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. Evola's books were also used by Nazis.
Evola and Guénon have been praised by Steven Bannon, a friend of Carvalho. Evola and Guénon have also been praised by Brazilian Foreign Minister Ernesto Araújo, an adherent of Carvalho.
Occultism has crazy connections and confusions. How could not Alvim reveal such religious traits?
The case of Alvim is a symptom of what may happen if the Bolsonaro administration fails. Newspapers around the world, ignoring the fact that Rasputin-guided Bolsonaro has filled his administration with inept adherents of Carvalho, will blame innocent evangelicals who voted for Bolsonaro.
