‘Woke’ Unelected National Archive Bureaucrats Set Stage to ‘Cancel’ Constitution

The figures in the pediment don’t seem very diverse, do they? Maybe a trigger warning should be posted – at least until the monument is torn down or reworked to be more inclusive of the underrepresented… (US National Archives/Facebook)

U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- “National Archives Slaps ‘Harmful Language’ Alert on U.S. Constitution,” author and journalist Todd Starnes reported. “The harmful language alert, which appears on the government agency’s website, directs readers to another page that references “potentially harmful content.”

“The warning applies to all documents across the Archives’ cataloged website, including the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence, The Federalist explained, noting:

“This isn’t the first time the National Archives has catered to a leftist view of history. In June, the National Archives’ racism task force claimed that the Archives’ rotunda, which houses founding documents, is an example of ‘structural racism.’ The task force also pushed to include trigger warnings around displays of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, which are all in the rotunda.”

NARA itself tried to downplay the warning by tweeting “This alert is not connected to any specific records, but appears at the top of the page while you are using the online Catalog,” and referenced readers to its statement on the matter, which does nothing to defuse concerns:

“[S]ome of the materials presented here may reflect outdated, biased, offensive, and possibly violent views and opinions. In addition, some of the materials may relate to violent or graphic events and are preserved for their historical significance … Some items may: reflect racist, sexist, ableist, misogynistic/misogynoir, and xenophobic opinions and attitudes; be discriminatory towards or exclude diverse views on sexuality, gender, religion, and more; include graphic content of historical events such as violent death, medical procedures, crime, wars/terrorist acts, natural disasters and more; demonstrate bias and exclusion in institutional collecting and digitization policies.”

“NARA didn’t offer any specific reasoning for why the content warning was introduced, though it likely stemmed from recommendations submitted in June at the completion of the agency’s racial inequality review,” The Blaze speculates. “NARA’s Task Force on Racism argued that the rotunda itself in the agency’s flagship building serves as an example of ‘structural racism’ because it ‘lauds wealthy White men in the nation’s founding while marginalizing BIPOC, women, and other communities.’”

This is that “fundamental transformation” the cultural Marxists intend to impose, to erase Heritage American history and culture and replace it with the version the controllers demand people believe. Along with the left’s Taliban-style tearing down of statues, it presumes they will be the victors who write history.

Protestations that the warnings are generic and not intended to single out any one document ring hollow. By placing founding documents under the banner of “hate speech,” the stage is set to “cancel” them. This is just an opening gambit, but one that will set the stage to control the game.

We’ve seen it in “woke” corporate segments of the culture, Disney being a prominent example that comes to mind, now placing racism warnings on the classic movies that built the company from Walt’s vision of excellence and Americanism to a globalist entity spreading the Marxist “gospel” that  “America was founded on ‘systemic racism.’” (Who wants to bet on the future longevity of Main Street USA, Frontierland, Tom Sawyer Island, and the Mark Twain Riverboat?)

That we’re seeing it in government at the highest levels, and that the taint of shame in America’s founding documents is being promoted at the highest levels, is something all Americans who aren’t domestic enemies or useful idiots need to recognize as an Intolerable Act. If the Declaration is racist, so by association is the Right of the People to alter or abolish any Form of Government destructive to the ends of freedom. If the Constitution is racist, what does that say about officials required to swear or affirm allegiance to it? If the Bill of Rights is racist, well, we’re already seeing efforts to eradicate speech that does not advance the approved narrative, the Second Amendment declared the tool of slavers, a Fourth Amendment being rendered null and void by intrusive, secret government spying…

“Last year, as our nation was confronting ongoing issues related to racial justice, Archivist of the United States David S. Ferriero established a task force of National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) employees to identify issues of racial inequality in both our customer-facing operations and internally within our workplaces, in pursuit of an equitable and inclusive environment for all employees and customers,” the agency states on its website.

Ferriero was an Obama appointee, the president who first floated the “fundamental transformation” trial balloon. An intent to post warnings in case people are offended and triggered by the documents he was being granted stewardship over was never part of his confirmation hearings, and it does not seem unfair to wonder why Republicans who voted to confirm him (by voice vote which helps avoid accountability) have been silent on this latest development.

In any case, even if anyone is dumb enough to believe the warnings are just generic and not agenda-driven, nowhere has Ferriero been authorized to set himself up as a “community standards” moderator, which somehow always seems to morph into censoring “unapproved” thought.

Americans who object should demand their political leaders speak out to remove the warnings along with Ferriero and the underlings who imposed this intolerable insult.

And those in this country who find the Declaration, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights so offensive they need to be warned about them lest they be triggered can go and complain to their foreign and domestic enemy masters — and are free to leave but not to take over.

The founders went hot over a 3 cent tax on their morning beverage. They recognized the principle, and the precedent once set by despots would grow ever more tyrannical. They would have gone hot years ago, after continuously using tar and feathers on 98% of our politicians, likely on a annual basis (considering what congress has done the past few decades, the criminals and corruption they embrace, etc).

Courageous Lion - Hear Me Roar - Jus Meum Tuebor

Actually that tax was the straw that broke the camels back. The DOI makes that pretty clear in the list of violations by the ass hat king and HIS enforcers.

not even that. The tax on tea was closer to a penny the pound, few drank the stale old tea they kept “special” for the colonials. What caused that business to go nuclear was that the three privately owned/operated merchant vessels that had carried that shipment into Boston from the Tilbury DOcks, London, had essentially had their ships (read: livelihoods) seized. The ship m owners were forced to pay the tax on tea they did not own prior to unloading. None had the money, one tried to leave and was hauled back under heavy guns. Tjose ships were paying port… Read more »

Destroying middle class businesses was therwhole purpose of the lock downs. And it bolstered the big box stores sales, which were allowed to remian “busines as usual”. Notice those stores are either owned by dems or are huge dem donors.

Read amendment #28. And look how congress just made themselves exempt from mandatory covid jab, receive free health care for life and a lot of other “special” things We The people are disbarred from having. The repub polis in Florida just exempted themselves from having to have/be issued a CCW permit. They can carry concealed as they wish.No permit needed.

Yup, most gov agencies and depts were created without Constitutional authority, and should be abolished, along with the federal (cough) reserve. Time for a re-Declaration of Independence, and just start over with the Constitution. All congress, senate and fed employees termed.

I’m doing my part, although small, I’m doing something. I’ve decided to sell off my Disney stock. I also canceled our October trip to Disney World. I was
contemplating this for a while since Disney became more and more conected to the Chinese government. Walt would never have allowed this to take place. This anti American crap has got to end, we need to take back America and it’s history.

Courageous Lion - Hear Me Roar - Jus Meum Tuebor

Hmmmm….I wonder if that connection to the Chinese goverment is why the head Dicktaker in China said he was worried about all the armed people in the US. They don’t have ulterior motives do they? Naaaaaaa…let me put my head back in the sand.

iit was about thirty years ago Walt’s Son Roy began pushing back against the “changes” tht were grieving him in regards the organisation’s changed values. They did not heed him. He had the integrity to resign his positioin on the board, take his shares and go off sailing. He could NOT stand quiet and contnue promoting the tripe they were then generating. The company have gone straight off the cliff since then. Nothing they produce holds any interest for me.

Walt Disney was a 33rd degree Freemason. 666 is in the Walt Disney signature. The Freemasons isn’t the great secret society we were told it was. At least not anymore. If it ever was. Did you recall seeing Dr. Fauci giving the freemason sign (hand in coat) when he came on stage to talk about covid? There is a video on youtube by a former Mason. It’s about 5 hrs long. You should do yourself a favor and watch it. Everyone here should. I’lll see if I can post a link to it. It is quite the eye opener.

And all of it was being done “behind the scenes” while we knew nothing about it. Our country is basically being taken over by a satanic culture.Which is very wealthy and has a huge and mostly unknowing following.The players involved are all Freemasons though. But watch the video and come up with your own conclusion. But you will see how all these corrupt polis, Hollywood stars and evil actors in our government are all tied together.

Yeah people always blame the white man for everything, we are all responsible for the things we do.
The Declaration Of independence as well as other founding documents are meant to elicit a certain level of offensive emotion, that is how they were written, if a person does not like they are welcome to crawl into a cave and stay there.

Laddyboy

Mr. David Codrea,
You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT in this op-ed!

uncle dudley

It is a shame that there isn’t an honest person of authority that can put an end to these unamerican’s who want to change our history and dispel the truth with their half witted lies.
If these people are so unhappy with our government and the rights we were granted by the founders, then get the hell out.

Mystic Wolf

Our fundamental rights did not come from the founders, our rights came from GOD it was HE that endowed us with our rights, and then the founders of the country affirmed them in the CONSTITUTION and in the BILL OF RIGHTS. Now it is the politicians that are wanting to steal those rights from us. If we let that happen then we are slaves once more to a government that has only hate of the people in its sights. Go get another covid booster you are due.

The ballot box has failed we the people , so now it’s time for the cartridge box solution. We must reinstate our constitution and our authority over corrupt money grubbing criminal politicians . The constitution grants the power to the people and we WILL take it back soon .

We could use the JURY BOX before the cartridge box, except hardly no one knows about the JURY being able to ACQUIT in the face of tyrannical laws that folks are charged with violating. https://fija.org

The jury box has failed us
The ballot box was stolen from us
The only box left to us is the cartridge box and soon that will be taken from us by a communistic regime that hates the rights and freedoms we have.

The jury box has failed us because people don’t know that it can be used to nullify bad laws. If you end up on one REFUSE to convict. Hang the jury.

The politicians have a lot of “non-civilians” to do their bidding.

JSNMGC

Like all these “non-civilians” – the ones who beat the elderly lady and all the ones who tried to cover it up:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7Co8M_PxT0&ab_channel=LackLuster

Where are the good apples?

JSNMGC

Why the downvotes?

Some of the those “non-civilians” will do anything to keep their “non-civilian” job and their “non-civilian” boss and all their “non-civilian” peers will cover for them – lie, hide evidence, etc.

If the evidence is found, civilians will have to pay the damages.

JSNMGC

Here’s one example – there are hundreds others out there:

I’ve been watching that utbe channel for a few months now. Lots of dumbass cops out there it appears. See the one about the motorcyclist who went in walmart with his helmet on?

JSNMGC

Put this in your search engine and watch the “non-civilians” in action:

$3 Million Settlement – 2 Cops Charged – 3 Resign – Corruption From The Top Down

Not one “non-civilian” intervened when the bad apple “non-civilians” beat an elderly woman (civilian), intimidated a witness (civilian), hide the video evidence, and then laughed their asses off at they replayed tapes of the elderly woman’s joints popping out of socket.

Not a “good apple non-civilian” in sight.

I agree with everything you wrote.

The good non-civilians will be tested soon.

I’m not so sure their good status will survive the test.

JSNMGC

It takes a real authoritarian, statist, totalitarian POS to downvote a comment about “non-civilians” beating an elderly woman and then conspiring to cover it up.

For those who did not watch the video, I suggest you do so – that could be your wife, mother, or grandmother.

Non-civilians are out-of-control and when the next round of federal gun control laws are passed, you better not cross them.

JSNMGC

Like I said.

Downvoter, I can only imagine the evil you did when you were a “non-civilian.” Did you actually beat elderly women when you were an enforcer, or did you cover-up for your buddies?

JSNMGC

Downvoter, did you laugh when viewing video tapes of youself popping the joints of elderly women?

Were you confident that your fellow “non-civilians” would hide the evidence?

Were you secure in your belief that the assets you attempted to hide would be safe in the event your not-so-qualified immunity was deemed to be unallowable?

I don’t see any downvoters.? You sure your are reading the up and down votes correctly? Or am I missing the downvoter? The up vote number is to the right of the thumbs up icon.

They were cast this morning and then offset later in the day.

Amazing that people would defend the despicable behavior of a bunch of thugs.

Wait until the next round of federal gun laws are passed and state, county, city/town enforcers cooperate with the feds. The same people will be making excuses for them.

Maybe they clicked on the wrong icon. I’ve done that a few times myself. The channel you supplied should be watched by all here. There’s some really bad LEOs out there these days. I know, I’ve see a few in action myself.

JSNMGC

When it’s a one-off authoritarian miscreant who enjoys demanding people respect his perceived authority because he has issues, most people shrugg it off as a “bad apple.” When it is an entire department of sadists and people who conspire to hide evidence of the crimes of their “brothers/sisters in blue/brown/tan/green/black/cammo,” it’s indicative of a much greater problem. There are a lot of LEOs/former LEOs who post on this site and their silence about this speaks volumes. The downvotes were not errors – they are from former LEOs who don’t like these events being publicized. When the federal government expands “programs”… Read more »

See – more downvoting from those who apologize for corrupt enforcers.

Do you think it’s possible that some other enforcers in that department knew what was going on, but did nothing?

Search for this:

John R. Kovach of the Lorain, Ohio police department

Watch the video of Kovach acting like he is the law. He was finally terminated for all the laws he broke but the Fraternal Order of Police appealed his termination. What does that say about the group?

While Kovach was terminated, it does not appear as though he was ever arrested or charged with any of the crimes he committed while video recording himself.

JSNMGC

Cop: “You’re under arrest”
Victim: “For what?”
Cop: “We’ll make shit up as we go.”

A certain percentage of enforcers act like this while they are video recording themselves.

Can you imagine how they act when they know there is no video recording of their actions?

I suspect that I am not the only one to note a significant pattern. That would be egregious unilateral actions enacted by unelected bureaucrats that run counter to the Constitution AND are not in the best interests of We the People. Even worse is that for the most part they are NOT accountable for those actions. It is almost as if there is some shadowy person/group controlling all of them. Oh wait…………………
