CRT... JUST WHAT IS Critical Race Theory?

Basically it is the reformation  of everything WE were taught in the local schools and universities:  from the time of Horace Mann right up until now! It all pretty much started in the already very liberal Colleges and Universities around the country. For some damned reason all these "woke" folks apparently have never been much for studying history of any sort! They deny the facts in front of them, and that is, that ANY socialist  government has always failed, failed, and doubly failed, miserably!

Now for some reason, a huge conglomeration  of them has gotten together years ago, about 40-45, and decided that they are going to reshape the face of the earth, but more importantly, the government of the United States!  

They will take away from you, all of the Bill of Rights, The Constitution as it is written now, and every one of the Amendments that they don't agree with," and think that all we "flyover people" have no business concerning ourselves with all of that useless, stuff! 

They will be very glad to tell us what we  can do, what we can say, what we should be able to own; including how much money we can have in our possession! This last condition has already had a bill introduced by the Biden clique, that will do away with paper money as we know it! You will have a bank account foist on you, that  delineates just how much worth you can have in it! And at anytime some beaurecrat  can empty that at will if they have deemed you to be incompetent in the use of their money!

This CRT, Critical Race Theory, is a whole program that has been drawn up by these people to be taught in our schools! It is being done as we speak as it has already be implemented in 25 of our States! They teach this crap now, beginning with the fifth grade and continuing all the way through to graduation in any of these States schools! They are doing it right now in the good old Block Island school system!

Just what is they are teaching you may well ask? How about pure communist in it's most egregious form? Marxism, with all its attendant horrors, midnight arrests with no-knock entry allowed? They will stop you on the street for any reason, as in for a search and seizure of anything you may be carrying?  And to make sure you are carrying your Vaccination Passport? Absolutely! Imagine the worst case of Communism you have ever heard of,  and that is what we will have! It  is happening right this minute, right now!

They are actively teaching in these 25 State school systems, that it is okay for the Blackman to hate the White man, for all the ills that have been inflicted on them in the last 200 years! They allseed  to have conveniently  forgotten how the Black man got to this country in the first place! It wasn't  a bunch of white men, sailing over to Africa and going around, rounding them up out of the bushes! It was their own, rival black tribes, that went around and  got them all together and sold them to the white man!  Who , undoubtedly thought it was a great idea to buy these human beings, load them on their ships, and  transport them to America and other countries along the African and European coast!

So here we are, deep into the changing of America to a completely Communistic one. If  you want to stop this, you are going to have to get involved in your local School Boards and Committees . That is where it started and that is where it will have to end.  And it is up to you, the parents of the below school aged  children, to see that this horror show is done away with, and the values that our ancestors brought to this country are reinstated!

You want to have the hell scared out of you? Do some online research about this CRT, and then start worrying about the future your kids or grandkids are likely to have to face in their lifetimes! 

I just turned on my 'puter a few minutes ago and the first headline that popped up was about parent groups, and school boards that are rising up in alarm, at what is just coming to see the light of day, after being hidden in the shadows and deep dark hollows of the perverted minds of the groups who would take all the gains  of the last two hundred forty  some odd years, and stuff them down the drains of history! 

All just because they believe wholeheartedly that Marxism, Leninism, Communisum, etc., to be the "be all end all" in governance of we poor besotted "mongers of Capitalism! Get all the crooked politicians, lawyers, judges (from the top down) right down to the very bottom and let's  start with a nice clean new slate to restore this country to it's former glory!!!!

Awaiting any comments on previous post

Been trying to figure out how I could let the general public know that I have resurrected the blog again ! I don't "DO" any of the Social Media thingies after  having had a 'Facebook account for about 6-8 years .

Too much personal sniping going for my tastes, to much heavy handed censoring, and what looks like a concerted effort by many in this government to turn our country into a pure Communistic state.

Anybody have any idea how I  can alert the local populace of my return to the blogging arena ?

Letters

To the Editor
Dear Sir, It was with great consternation that I read that letter from Melanie Wilk! She stated clearly, and with heartfelt feeling, just exactly how I have felt for many years after I came back to the island after spending twenty years away in the USN. I also come from a long line of island folk about three hundred sixty four years. When I came back in 1975, the island had barely changed at all. Granted there were a few more houses than when I left in 1962, but the businesses that were here, were the same ones. Different owners in some cases, but virtually unchanged as far as new construction was concerned. It started slow and wasn’t really noticeable, but over the years the school committee was the one I watched, and I began to see things that were being forced on us by the State, but more troubling was the teachers’ union was demanding more and more but giving back less and less. Then I began to pay attention to what was going on the other boards and commissions.
I spent a couple of years on the planning board and on the council for two years.
Every time I saw something that I didn’t think was kosher or just plain wrong for this town, I was consistently voted down because of the good old ‘party lines’ that existed here. A lot of the items that showed up on the docket were put there by some of these ‘newcomers’ to the island and again were not always to the benefit of the town.
Well, I guess you could say I abrogated my duty to the voters that put me there in order to stop the outrageous amounts of money being spent like there was no tomorrow! That mindset that had infiltrated all the boards and commissions was, “that we could do whatever we damned well please because we are the majority and do not much care for the opponents thoughts on any subject.”
I continually wondered where all this “ready cash” was going to come from, and if I was going to be able to meet my tax burden when they came for their pound of flesh! For the first 10 to 15 years, my income level was right on a par with the poverty level decided by more bureaucrats in D.C.
Melanie’s letter to you folks came at almost the right time, maybe one week earlier would have been fortuitous. Or maybe not! Look at how much attention was paid to Martha Ball’s concise, coherent and absolutely right on the mark in every respect letter. She all but called out all the special interest groups who spend these millions of dollars and put future generations deep in debt. They don’t care about future generations! All they care about is their status among all their peers. Let’s see, Joe Jones just built a $2.5 million house so now, I have to build a bigger monstrosity on top of the highest hill that isn’t already sporting a giant edifice for two or three people. There was something that smells of dead fish in that whole affair, as it appears it was done under the table leaving two councilors completely out of the decision making process!
I sent a version of this rant to the BIBB, with notification to them that I was sending a version of it to you folks. I’m still waiting for it to be posted. Oops! 1904hrs  /11/21 I just got notified that my community service message is considered political pandering so they won’t post it. It had none of the political stuff in it that is in this one.
Back to the present, reading Melanie’s letter just makes me feel so melancholy for what the descendants of mine will have to say about what we did to absolutely destroy, “One of the Last Great Places in the World!” I’m afraid that we have reached the point of no return for us here on this Jewel in the Atlantic. It also appears to be happening on the National level too.
Respectfully,
Everett R Littlefield ADCM, AC,
FE, NO, USN, Ret. 

So feel free to comment in the comment section! Have a good night, and be sure and wake up in the morning!

Back for a fourth try at this blogging!

  Well now, here I am again looking for a place to vent as it were.  This is just a trial run. I don't have any idea how to induce anyone to come here and read my drivel. Maybe someone would put out the word on one of these other social media devices like tweeter,  or one of those others.

If one was so inclined to come take a look, just go to your browser and type in using the 'case' used here, WWW.IslandVoiceII.blogspot.com and that should get you to my door!

I'm going to wait a few days before I put up anything of  consequence on this thing. If after reading  it you may wish to make a comment.  You don't have to agree with  my views to post here. Just keep it halfway civil if possible.

What precipitated this resurrection of and older blog was the reaction to the letter I sent to the editor of the Block Island Times! I have had about 30-35 people speak face to face about it and at least a couple dozen emails. Not one of them was of a derogatory nature!

So I am going to post this little missive  and see what happens!

PS. If this addy doesn't seem to work, change the two capitals I's to lower case and that may do it. 

If you want direct access, my email is elittle1938@google.com. As soon as I discover there is a message, I'll answer it. Sometimes I only check my email once a day in the evening!

$2M For Cleaning up the DUMP?

 I realize that the dump leaking and giving up its treasures is a problem for the town, but just building a revetment that will only last twenty years and then need replacing again is not to my mind, a very fiduciarily responsible way to spend that kind of money on a temporary fix!

Just what are we going to do with all that junk that is worming its way out of the ground? Well apparently we are not going to get it off the Island! If I read that article in the local paper correctly, we are just going to dig it up and move it to another location on the same piece of property. How dumb is that? So now all my grandchildren are going to be looking at subsidizing  another move of the same junk in the future!

Just what are the priorities of this town council when it comes to saving the dunes on the east beach and the keeping of the junk from crawling out of the ground and getting into the ocean  Which one takes precedence ? Which is the most likely to to happen first, to the huge determent of the town?

I have  mentioned this before in another forum, that if the town really wants to do something to forestall the disaster to the this burg that would occur if we were to get another Storm Sandy or one or two of even worse destructive power, I think the following would be the best course of action to follow. It would last for at least one hundred years. It is this:

Take all the stones, rocks, boulders, etc. that the State put put up against the dunes and roll them all out onto the beach. Bring in a company that would drive into the sand, pieces of thick steel bulkhead material of at least sixty foot length and pound them into the ground leaving about ten feet sticking out. Then roll back all those boulders along with however many more were needed to provide a good solid eight to ten foot thick buffer in front of those steel bulkhead plates. Fill-in behind them with rocks and clean fill. Leave a space of about ten to twelve feet from the edge of the road to the bulkhead and fill it with concrete to create a promenade along side the road for walkers and bicyclists.  Start as close to the Surf Hotel as would be deemed necessary and continue to the north to at least just past the State/Town beach.

I would think that $2M would advance the bulkhead  project to get pretty close to there! Going past the Beach House would entail leaving a small gap where the windmill turbine cable comes ashore.

When we get to that point, then would be the time to go pissing up a rope trying to mitigate the whole dump farce!  Bringing in a bunch of granite boulders and dropping them in front of the oozing junk would soon see them falling into the undermined sand from wind and tide, and the ooze would continue on it's  way into the ocean. You have to have something to stop the undermining of what ever you put in front of your bulkhead, and undermining to a depth of forty feet is going to probably take a few hundred years at least.

Anybody got another solution that is reasonable? Anyone?

IS IT SPRING YET?

I can't really remember the last time we had such a cold Spring for so long into April. But with my memory being what it is, it was probably just last year! Anyway I am sick to death of the damned cold weather.

Still getting all the plots tuned up and ready for the planting, which I hope to commence shortly. I have quite a few things going on in the High Tunnel.  I have 16 Bell pepper plants up about a foot and 18 leaves. Swiss chard is about a foot high and being eaten already. Spinach, Rhubarb Chard, Kohlrabi, and Romain lettuce are all up and doing well.

My 20' row of high yielding eating peas are about a foot up the large long trellis. Hope they will climb up to about head high. Have a bunch of basil plants in the House Green House That will be planted in front of the peas. I also have about sixty Marigold and sixty Nasturtiums plants to be interspersed among the different vegetables to help keep the damned bugs away.  I also plant Mustard plants among some others to help with the bug chasing.

We have eight Snow Crown Cauliflower. This early bunch are for summer eating, and about twenty five cabbage plants for making Sauerkraut later on, as well as a few just to eat over the summer, and a few to store for the winter in the root cellar.

Now I mean to tell you, keeping those GD cabbage loopers out of them is a chore and a never ending job! I don't use chemical pesticides on my plants. Mostly Bt and pyrethrin dust. But the absolute surest way to get rid of those loopers is to take a badminton racket and turn them into a white cloud of dust with one stroke, IF you can hit them!!!   My granddaughter Dakota does an admirable  job of disposing of them. I suppose the fifty cent bounty on them helps to incentivize  her too!

I noticed again today that there a couple of more of the accursed signs up along the roads. I would like to know just who the hell it was that initiated this, "supposed study", who was it done by and just who paid for it? All unanswered questions. Was this done by one of our local boards/commissions? Or was it some State entity. What I think we need is for the 'sign vigilantes' to ride again!


I am posting these things on my Facebook page, but am not sure how many folks see it so I am going to put the address of this blog right here so you may log in directly if you wish to make a comment! And it is: IslandVoiceII@blogspot.com.

SO I will be very happy to hear from you, and we can talk about any subject that interest you as related to BI and it's environs! Anyone who is interested in gardening and has seen what I am doing at my place, please come on over and we can talk about it. The one thing I WON"T be doing anymore is tilling up the ground to plant! Come on over or write a note right here, and I'll start bending your ear!

A Blight on the Landscape!

Went out for a Sunday afternoon ride around the Island  about three weeks ago. Not an unusual thing, but this time we noticed that there were a few new traffic signs having been put up. It was a cause of some wonderment as to why in these places, and we thought no more about it till the ensuing Sunday arrived.

As we progressed around the Island we discovered a plethora of new sign sproutings! All over the damned place!  Not just one or two,  but on one curve/corner alone there were nine individual  signs to tell the unwary driver just how to negotiate this bend in the road! Well we began to have a few discussions as to why all of a sudden the influx of obtrusive signs.

We kept on talking about them as we started our third subsequent Sunday trip around the Island, only to find that there had been even more of these obnoxious yellow beacons of portending doom sprouting up like unwanted dandelions of toad stools! We are now totally infested with the damned things1

I would like to know WHO decided all these signs had to be put up on virtually every corner or curve and every hill, up an down the length of the Island. Was this just on the whim of some single person or group in the town? Or was it all at the behest of  the infamous DOT?

It looks like some traffic engineer came out here for a weekend and saw all these totally dangerous curves,  bends, and steep inclines and was aghast that they were not "signed up"!

I would also like to know just how in the hell all we local inhabitants managed to survive out here all these years, traveling at the maximum allowed speed of 25 MPH,  and have not all wound up in the ditches and bushes! Traveling at 40-50 MPH or more, might  cause one to inhabit those said bushes and ditches, and it has happened on occasion.

So were these signs then inflicted on us solely to warn tourists of the dangers of rounding these bends? If you are driving at 25 MPH on these roads, around all these sharp curves and mountainous inclines, and you don't have the mental processes that would allow you the reaction time to navigate said curves, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE A DRIVERS LICENSE!  You could probably have a cat nap from the time you saw the curve coming to the time you had to start turning the wheel!

So I  would like to start a letter writing campaign to our Town Council to get the damned, ugly, and way too numerous things removed from the roads! Hell you can't see the weeds along the road for the big yellow signs blocking the view!
