Dem Congressman Says Arming Ukraine is About Protecting Woke Values
Summit News ^ | 10/27/2022 | Paul Joseph Watson

"Raskin (D-MD) is apparently concerned that any slide in support for Ukraine represents an abandonment of woke values

“Moscow right now is … a world center of antifeminist, antigay, anti-trans hatred, as well as the homeland of replacement theory for export,” said the statement. **** As we have previously highlighted, the bizarre intersection of sending advanced weaponry to foreign conflicts in the name of defending far-left identity politics reared its head right at the start of the war.

Back in February, the head of MI6, who includes his preferred pronouns in his Twitter bio, faced backlash for suggesting that a large part of the war in Ukraine was about “LGBT+ rights.”

“With the tragedy and destruction unfolding so distressingly in Ukraine, we should remember the values and hard won freedoms that distinguish us from Putin, none more than LGBT+ rights. So let’s resume our series of tweets to mark #LGBTHM2022,” tweeted Richard Moore (he/him).

One of the principal organizers of Dublin’s gay pride parade also decided to add the colors of Ukraine to the LGBTQ rainbow flag, presumably to ensure support for all ‘current things’ were covered."

According to Tucker, Raskin doesn’t think much of Christians in Russia.

What kind of convoluted reasoning gets us from “woke values” to “arming Ukraine”?

I would have imagined that neo-cons, the “war-war all the time, forever” people, and those who claim to be “woke”, would be diametric opposites. Two extreme polar positions.

Perhaps there is some space-time warp of which I am unaware.

The US government supports Ukraine because the US government supports the Globalists and is pushing for the Great Reset. Biden’s handlers want everyone to be slaves. To own nothing and accept it (”be happy”).

There is no good reason for the US government to care about Russia’s incursion into Ukraine. We are the problem.

The guy is kind of weird. Russian isn’t anti-women. But the rest, homosexuality/transgender is a sexual deviance that is at the heart of immorality. Fare from fascist. In face the Left is exhibiting extreme fascism in all of their own actions right now.

Honestly, I don’t care if a person is a homosexual. But they should not get special rights because of their immorality and sexual weirdness. Keep it in their bedrooms, stop promoting it in the streets and stop grooming the children for their pedophilia.

You may not realize it but the US State Dept pushes the woke agenda all over the world. The image of the USA is one of woke craziness. The world thinks the USA is a societal zoo because of it.

--- "NeoCons and Woke leftists now the police force of the world through weapons sales and "donation" of weapons. Raskin says the quiet part out loud."

The "gender-affirming care" mutilation stance of the Biden administration and the recent tweet from an agency of the European Union saying "the future of Europe is queer" speak to the perversion attempting to rule the Western world now. Time for push-back is well past.

Lending credence to the GloboHomo characterization of the WWIII proponents and that this war, having nothing to do with freedom and national sovereignty of Ukraine, is to establish the amoral new world order that will subjugate the entire world to serve the amoral elites via totalitarian authoritarian fascism.

“Global Homogenization” is our policy. That is, every nation must accept our modern, corrupted, perverted “Western values.”

Our progressive neocon war-hawks hate Hungary for the same reason they hate Russia. They are rejecting the perverted agenda of “Globo-Homo.” And NO country may reject Globo-Homo.

Jamie Raskin’s father was Marcus Raskin who did everything in his power to assure the defeat of the US in Viet Nam and the victory of communism around the world. with mysterious gray funding he established the Institute for Policy Studies in DC. It is well described here:
The Institute for Policy Studies
In 1963, Raskin left government service, and with Richard Barnet, a State Department official in the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, created an independent institution, outside of government, to critique official policy.[citation needed]

Much of Raskin’s initial work with IPS focused on opposing the Vietnam War. He co-authored the Vietnam Reader with Bernard Fall in 1965, which was used in teach-ins across the country. In 1967, he co-authored with Arthur Waskow, a colleague at the Institute, “A Call to Resist Illegitimate Authority,” which urged support for those who resisted the draft and the Vietnam War. The “Call to Resist” was signed by thousands of people, and because of it Raskin and Waskow took part in turning in a thousand draft cards to the Department of Justice.[2] In 1968, Raskin was indicted -— along with William Sloane Coffin, Dr. Benjamin Spock, Michael Ferber, and Mitchell Goodman—for conspiracy to aid resistance to the draft. The group became known as the “Boston Five”. In the case, Telford Taylor, prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials, served as the defense attorney for Raskin. Not long after his acquittal, Raskin published the book Washington Plans an Aggressive War with Barnet and Ralph Stavins. These two books would begin Raskin’s critique of the “national security state”, a term he coined, which he would continue to assess critically in future works.[citation needed]

With the publication of his book Being & Doing in 1971, Raskin advocated the theory of “social reconstruction.”[3] Raskin’s thinking was largely influenced by the work of American pragmatist John Dewey, French existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre, and the politics of the New Left. According to Library Journal, Raskin “foresees a peaceful process of non-Marxist reconstruction that will replace authoritarianism and the status quo with politics of the people and a redefined social ethic.”[citation needed]

In 1971, Raskin received from Daniel Ellsberg, documents that became known as the Pentagon Papers. Raskin put Ellsberg in touch with New York Times reporter Neil Sheehan.[citation needed]

In 1977, after conducting a first study of budget and its spending priorities, 56 members of Congress, led by Congressional Black Caucus Dean John Conyers, requested that IPS undertake a deeper analysis of the federal budget. Raskin directed the project, which led to the publication of the 1978 book The Federal Budget and Social Reconstruction. In the 1980s, Raskin became a leader in the anti-nuclear movement as the Chair of the SANE / Freeze campaign.[4] He also worked with labor leaders to organize the Progressive Alliance, a coalition of 16 labor unions and 100 public interest groups that laid out a progressive alternative political agenda.[citation needed]

Raskin served as a Distinguished Fellow of the Institute for Policy Studies, in addition to teaching at George Washington University’s School of Public Policy and Public Administration and serving on the editorial board of The Nation magazine. He also advised the Congressional Progressive Caucus and conceptualized the network of local elected officials that evolved into the Institute for Policy Studies’ Cities for Peace project, which has coordinated hundreds of city council resolutions against the Iraq War.[citation needed]

Raskin’s most recent scholarship included serving as the editor of a series of books laying out how to achieve peace and justice for the think tank’s Paths for the 21st Century. The goal of this project was to generate ideas and proposals, across disciplinary lines and founded upon Raskin’s notion of “reconstructive knowledge”, which catalyze citizen action and help other scholars and activists pursue a progressive basis for a new society.

Now his son wants the fight a possible war with Russia for the cause of men who define themselves by putting their erect penises in other men’s anuses.

This is a perfect paradigm of what woke-liberalism about. Have straight white men die to promote sexual perversion.

Right. I can wish both governments to be subject to the worst of things while feeling sympathy for the every-day Ukrainians.

I despised the Soviet Union.

I detest both Ukraine and Russia (the governments, not the people. I have generally liked individual Russians or Ukrainians I have met.)
