We have an identity crisis. We are obsessed with physical characteristics and racial division. We honor or condemn immutable traits and consider accomplishments racist. We are being taught to hate ourselves. We construct genders out of pure imagination, peer pressure and lived experience. Victimhood is a badge of honor. The more we base our worth upon the struggle to gain power, the less we seem to know who we are. The further we drift from the self-evident truths that once bound us together, the more obscure truth itself becomes. As we forget in whose image we are made, we will have no memory of who we are.
A perfect summation of the idiocy that has infected our nation. If we don’t wake up soon — very soon — and ditch these destructive policies we will not survive. Well, we my “survive” in some fashion for a while, but our children and grandchildren will live in a freedomless hellscape. That is what’s at stake.
However, what many who echo a form of "your children and grandchildren will live in a freedomless hellscape" totally miss the fact that their children and grand children have been groomed to see this as normal.
Sure the planes falling from the sky and the surface reasons for that are tragic, but the real issue is the now, internalized and inherent rot carried by every infected person K-Adult.
I work at one of the larger defense contractors and the "kids" coming in are the ones happily pushing for the "freedomless hellscape" because they see it as utopia and their enlightened lived experience..."get it boomer???"
They are more interested in endless IM streams that mirror instagram feeds and emoji storms, than engineering specs, showing up on time, actually doing quality checks or understanding their job. We have actually had people say the training was too hard and asked to be allowed to complete it later...AND...they were accommodated because feelings and equity - by the types of managers and C-Suiters this article described.
What the anon-whistleblower didn't say was - the disconnect caused by ESG, DEI, CRT and more are now infused into every product and service you use. The plane you board now has a higher chance of losing a wing or engine, having it's fuel supply blocked or landing gear collapse than ever before. You are rolling the dice that the WOKE house had loaded in their favor.
If you want to stop this, you HAVE TO get control of what the children in kindergarten are being taught is normal and worthwhile. At present, it has nothing to do with the things that keep planes in the air.
Wow. Totally agree. The Marxists in charge of our “education” system (and every other system — politics, medicine, entertainment, media, sports , etc.) have been incredibly successful at brainwashing and ruining the younger generation. With some exceptions, they are now an army of useful idiots. It sickens me.
Krushchev was right. They will take us over without firing a shot. The Communists are very patient.
Don’t put it on the teachers. It all starts and ends at home. Parents need to own their kids upbringing. Schools can only brainwash your kids if you don’t lay down proper base at home.
In Scotland (the nation formerly known as Scotland The Brave), your comment would be flagged as hate speech, and the popo would be at your door in a flash to escort you downtown for an "interview".
Who is this “we” you write of? This assumption is common to much of the writing on Substack. Please do not assume some kind of singular, collective, monolithic identity.
cjw....Succinctly captured my friend....the perpetual politically-correct apologism for well natured national USA/CAN pride, exceptionalism, and accomplishment has paralyzed so many with synthesized guilt and fear. We need to escape that, and continue to build on our strengths and commonalities - not differences.
.....and a sad slippery slope for a once truly heritage-proud Scotland. Globalists continuing to influence and water-down and dilute any/all national identity and pride.
globalism requires the funtioning apparatus that transforms the policy of equal opportunity into one of equal outcomes. and when that will not work, that lead to global fiat money and universal income for some and concentration camps for resisters.
Said another way, we have turned away from God! Many have made themselves God; the basis of a narcissist eho now feel that they have absolute moral authority.
There is no condemnation to those in Christ and eternal condemnation to anyone who is white, IE: a racist who cannot be forgiven EVER, guilty or not!!! This narrative is from satan!!!
We don't have "elites." We have Aristocrats and wannabe Aristocrats.
I like to call them "The Global Aristocracy." That's a good name for a group of haughty, obnoxious villains, don't you think?
Just picture modern versions of Louis XIV's courtiers, arrogantly presuming to tell free men & women how to live, and you'll begin to understand the contempt you should feel for them.
Just this AM, I listened to a speech by Newt Gingrich given at Hillsdale College. He noted that in a survey 67% people who (1) attended the Ivy League and (2) were making > $150K/yr, they felt that they were (A) smarter than the rest of the people, (B) had the right to tell others how to live and (C) didn’t find it wrong to lie, cheat or steal to gain/retain control. It is from these people that the political appointees and top-level civil servants are drawn. They are also the people in the C-suite of the major corporations. These are the ones I have labeled the ‘elite’ and you have labeled ‘aristocrats’. Whatever we call them, they have their heads well up their arse. These are the girls who show up at Supreme Court Justice confirmation hearings wearing the Haidmaid Outfits to protest the patriarchy and a few months later are found in the anti-Israeli encampments wearing head scarves, dutifully sitting behind the men during simulating Muslim prayers.
The DEI is the cultural revolution now firmly embedded into every aspect of the American society. It is a fast spreading cancer, that’s killing our country. You don’t compromise with cancer. You kill it by any means necessary or it kills you.
You have to start the treatment, with the children. I made this point above in another reply -our children are being taught a new normal. Just as you and I were taught to tell the truth, be on time, give our best effort, be responsible, boys are boys and girls are girls - children (kindergarteners) are being taught ESG, DEI, CRT and all things lgbtrans - ON A MASS SCALE.
Like it or not, those things stick and groom them to see all of it as "normal" on a spectrum, as adults.
While we can fight the cancer in the now (what do you think would happen in the Boeing board room if just All Americans refused to fly on Boeing planes) we must catch it early and cut it our at the roots.
Today's kids and grand kids will be the ones marching these societal killing ideologies into the future - just as their parents and grand parents did decades ago. They were the infected kids of old, who're are now the cancer spreading academics, bureaucrats and ideologs of today.
This is an excellent piece of writing. There are many failures in this company. It’s very sad another great American company bites the dust and bows to DEI mafia. It is 100% correct to say DEI holds no honor, no commitment. and yes, it is tearing our country apart.
I work at one of these high margin companies. While we get strong ‘racial groups’ in manufacturing, engineering, etc, our core DEI and HR folks are mediocre at best. But they are upheld by executive leadership and programs are pushed. I do have my Bible opened on my desk and that one day may be my end. I talk with anyone about Christianity as the truth we must honor. No hate just truth.
Neither DEI or ESG or any type of religion would be tolerated being pushed in the workplace if I were the CEO of a Company. Employees have a job to do ! They are not hired to push their beliefs PERIOD!
SRIP, thank you. A wonderful passage that defines our time is the revelation given to Daniel about the rock being cut out of the mountain that crushes the global empire idol and then becomes the new mountain. This is coming soon. Globalists dont realize that what the ideologies they are building upon is going to be very short lived about to crash to the ground and blown away. God bless and keep you safe.
Good to hear. Christian’s have been fearful of wearing their identity for fear of offending - because the powerful said we were & we must not. Be proud.
I was an engineer in the SoCal Aerospace business from 1982 through 1997. We started to see the beginnings of DEI in the early 90's. We also saw that it got harder and harder to get promoted, if you were male and white, after that time. We also saw people who were not steeped in aerospace tradition come into leadership. The connection of pride in the product and services became more and more abstract. I left to pursue a completely different career track, and am glad I did.
What Elon Musk is doing with SpaceX is very aligned with our spirit in those early days.
My husband works for a large international telecom company. He has started sending me snapshots of his “HR trainings,” because although he hates talking politics and current social issues, he knows something is very, very wrong with his corporate culture. When the people who usually just roll their eyes and move along are starting to notice and feel uncomfortable, how far into this game do we still have to go?
This is very timely piece for our family. My husband lost his job this week, and this interview reads like his him speaking about his company, just replace Boeing with his former company. It’s a house of cards, waiting to fall. Thank you for this, as it makes me feel like we are not crazy.
This same process is going on in every large company but it’s been that way for a very long time. DEI is just the latest fad that every company is into now. Too bad that in making airplanes the result is lots of dead people.
i am ashamed and distraught by some of my colleagues. the dei stasi force merit less hires and everyone whispers about which surgeon stay away from and which doctor you should go to.
"[Boeing] is not under people who love airplanes [. . . .] There are now no engineers as part of the core team" at a corporation that builds technologically advanced aircraft (and probably a number of weapons systems). This does not inspire confidence in the safety of their airliners, to speak with restraint, and makes me feel better about my vow to never again board a commercial airplane of any sort. Besides, I like to drive and love road trips. I used to fear I was becoming some sort of crank, but, as I think William S. Burroughs once said, "A paranoid is someone in possession of all the facts."
"The elites" are either more leftist cattle in the herd or True Believers. In either case, any good intentions are paving the road to Hell.
The informant says, "There should be some honor, in understanding that we inherited something beautiful and good and worth loving." This is "conservatism" in a nutshell. We need more of it.
I experienced the same sort of thing during 42 years of software engineering. Increasingly, the field is being run by MBAs who never wrote a line of code. Then in the early 2000s, management incompetence went into hyperdrive with a new ideology called "Agile". Like recovering from a hurricane, it took me awhile to figure out what was going on: Agile, like communism, never fails: https://medium.com/@davidziffer/agile-like-communism-never-fails-9125c42871e7
If planes falling from the sky is not a sign of rotten administration, particularly HR, then nothing is. As Michael Scott of The Office said, "HR is the breeding ground of monsters."
Great article. Yes, it's only one person's view, but one person should suffice. DEI and ESG have to go. Merit matched to job needs must be restored. If that is not done right employees will not respect each other, work together, or produce good products and services as a team. CEO's, CFO's, and others in top management need to get their hands dirty on the shop floor.

Thanks for your comment.
They've always know the children are the key. That's why they always send the perverts into the schools.
Don’t put it on the teachers. It all starts and ends at home. Parents need to own their kids upbringing. Schools can only brainwash your kids if you don’t lay down proper base at home.
Exactly what the WEF wants!!!
Oh, we're awake. We can see what's going on just fine. Our problem is, what do we do about the things we see? How do we stop them?
Another one for my bumper sticker collection: "You were made in the image of God. Live like it."
In Scotland (the nation formerly known as Scotland The Brave), your comment would be flagged as hate speech, and the popo would be at your door in a flash to escort you downtown for an "interview".
So are people really being investigated and charged? Your Scottish law is terrifying.
Dunno. I'm American of Scots background only. J.K. Rowling does not seem.overly concerned by this law.
She has dared them to arrest her.
She's also got F--- You Money.

It's not sad. It's infuriating.
Sadness is not an honorable emotion, but anger is. So stop being sad and get angry.

Our ‘elites’ are fools. DEI is the antithesis of good leadership. ESG is the antithesis of good management. Oppose it everywhere you find it.
We don't have "elites." We have Aristocrats and wannabe Aristocrats.

Our (((elites))) are jews and that is the "real" problem...
Most of the ones I know / know of are not. The overwhelming majority say that they are Protestant in as much as they have any religion.
The DEI is the cultural revolution now firmly embedded into every aspect of the American society. It is a fast spreading cancer, that’s killing our country. You don’t compromise with cancer. You kill it by any means necessary or it kills you.
Well stated Lucy.

Some are so demoralized they succumb…
And remember: Fighting dirty is the shortest way home and the ONLY strategy appropriate to a survival situation.

To certain folks, truth is hate speech.
Don't legitimize the concept of "Hate Speech." There's no such thing. That's just another trick the Left uses to invalidate opoosition to its agenda.
Neither DEI or ESG or any type of religion would be tolerated being pushed in the workplace if I were the CEO of a Company. Employees have a job to do ! They are not hired to push their beliefs PERIOD!
All CAPS
SRIP, thank you. A wonderful passage that defines our time is the revelation given to Daniel about the rock being cut out of the mountain that crushes the global empire idol and then becomes the new mountain. This is coming soon. Globalists dont realize that what the ideologies they are building upon is going to be very short lived about to crash to the ground and blown away. God bless and keep you safe.
Good to hear. Christian’s have been fearful of wearing their identity for fear of offending - because the powerful said we were & we must not. Be proud.
Good for you! Maybe you will be the ripple to cause the wave towards freedom of religion and speech

Christopher,

This same process is going on in every large company but it’s been that way for a very long time. DEI is just the latest fad that every company is into now. Too bad that in making airplanes the result is lots of dead people.
And if we refuse to go along, we can get fired from our jobs.
I do feel for you. There are mortgages to pay and car payments. So unless you’re wealthy or have something else lined up, you’re stuck.
I went for early retirement myself. Surely I will not last in that environment. I do not go along, I will not play along.
I refuse to lie.
Don't worry. Mortgages and car payments are next, after student loans, on the Democrat list of assets to use for buying votes. No problem. Enjoy!
same thing is happening in medicine
i am ashamed and distraught by some of my colleagues. the dei stasi force merit less hires and everyone whispers about which surgeon stay away from and which doctor you should go to.
i can’t believe i am in america sometimes
I've seen three affirmative action doctors and all three were/are incompetent. It was not by choice that I ended up with these "doctors."
so sorry for you. at least you got away before they hurt you. it is truely a scandal
