The Great Diversity Delusion/Diversion
Diversity is a political ideology. It has proven time and again to be a veritable plague on reason and truth. Proponents of the diversity ideology tend to be hypocrites and anti-white racists. They tend to be as unoriginal as it gets and as unquestioning and unchallenging as it gets. Sadly, the top priority for Anne Brennan, new editor of the Gannon corporate-media-controlled Cape Cod Times is… diversity.
How to rise to the power-position of a newspaper editor? Well, just follow the prime rules for how to be a loyal lackey. Rule #1: do not make waves. Rule #2: do not buck the system. Rule #3: do not go against the grain. The same rules, of course, apply to how to become a favored newspaper columnist or tenured professor. And so society ends up not with courageous, truth-telling individuals, but rather with in-lockstep conformists, the kind the local chambers of commerce adore. Money rules and always has ruled. Money controls the press, certainly not truth.
Brennan boasts: “Last year, I shared my plans to increase the inclusivity of our coverage and to diversify our newsroom staff so that Cape Cod Times reporters, editors and photographers mirror the demographics of the Cape’s population by 2025.” She does not at all mention striving towards unbiased, rude-truth reporting as a goal and covering stories that her bosses might not like, nor does she mention providing a platform for all those on Cape Cod! Gannon, as well as Paul Pronovost, her predecessor, refused to publish, let alone respond to, any criticism I sent with their regard (see, for example: wwwtheamericandissidentorg.blogspot.com/2021/01/anne-brennan.html, wwwtheamericandissidentorg.blogspot.com/search?q=Cape+cod+times, and wwwtheamericandissidentorg.blogspot.com/2015/05/paul-pronovost-and-noah-hoffenberg.html).
In fact, I have yet to see any criticism at all regarding those editors, published in their newspaper. Both refused to even publish the fact that I, a local writer, had been permanently banned from my local library, Sturgis Library, without warning and without due process. Well, I suppose at least now, Brennan has openly stated precisely why. For her, I do not matter because of my white skin color, though I also suspect that the autocrat librarian, Lucy Loomis, has relationships with the Brennans of Cape Cod. And why don’t the Times’ lifer professor-columnists Brent Harold, Dan McCullough, and Lawrence Brown give a damn and write a column, as in “Local Senior Citizen Banned for Life from a Cape Cod Public Library”? Well, back to rule #1…. Now, here’s an interesting comment from, I suspect, one of Brown’s students regarding the cartoon I sketched on Brown and posted on The American Dissident website (see above link):
hey your a dumbass to go at mr.B like that. greatest of all time. he is ten timee smarter then you and if you got a problem then my email is dmchockey@.icloud.com if you trying to catch these hands. [sic]
