Madness (Wilson)

Millions of today's youth, college students, and young adults have been brainwashed over the decades by fake news coming from mainstream media (MSM), social media, and leftist academia to the point where they lack the open mindedness, objectivity, and critical thinking skills to recognize it and its harmful effects. Fake News Madness offers an opportunity to be part of the solution to this problem. By spotting fake news media using ethical journalistic standards we can take action to fight and eliminate fake news with practical logic, facts, truth, and sapience-and together counter the biased and unethical journalism, mainstream news, and social media on and off campus. For some of you this MADNESS book will be a revelation, an epiphany, a sapient being moment. For others, it will be a triggering event, denial of truth, and a painful intervention. As the time-tested saying goes, "Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but they're not entitled to their own facts." Facts are facts, the truth is the truth, but they can be skewed and manipulated for disingenuous methods and false narratives. Mainstream news, social media, and academia have perfected and promoted their liberal and leftist agenda without recourse. They are in many ways the media arm of the Democratic Party and many are infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). Only seven percent of American journalists identify as Republican and the rest claim that despite the fact they're all Democrats, they can be objective. It just ain't so! Psychologists and the Heterodox Academy have shown that when people associate almost exclusively with those who agree with them, they suffer from groupthink, viewpoint orthodoxy, and confirmation bias-and lose their ability to see events clearly and objectively. In 2016, the fake news media narrative was more an unequivocal declaration: Donald Trump must not win. As we’ll all know, he did, and the overwhelming pro-Clinton MSM predicted he would lose. And, lose big! How could they get it so wrong? And, how could one man be the number one obsession and enemy of fake news?

The Heritage Foundation has so far documented 1,328 proven cases of voter fraud since America's founding. Nonetheless, these numbers are miniscule compared to the millions of legal votes cast. Even if they likely represent the tip of an iceberg of voter fraud-there are not enough "proven" cases in the 2020 election to alter the seven million plus Joe Biden election victory margin. Or are there? Is there some truth to Donald Trump's claims of a "stolen election" and "massive voter fraud" to justify his 2020 election loss when you analyze huge pro‐Biden vote dumps after election night in key battleground states? If we replace the phrases of "stolen election" and "massive voter fraud" with "gamed" election and massive voter "irregularities"-does he have a case? Furthermore, if we quantify these 2020 election gaming and irregularities by including the effect from election law changes enacted during the pandemic; combined with the subliminal leftist influence of big tech; a tsunami of fake news and false narratives, or voter fraud news suppression by mainstream media; and record setting funding by left leaning groups-yes, Trump has a case! As you will discover in Voting Madness, the combined impacts of "gaming" and "irregularities" and perhaps outright voter "manipulation"-could have influenced millions-perhaps tens of millions of American votes-mostly Millennials-to the overwhelming benefit of Biden and Democratic candidates. Trump's legal team submitted more than 800 sworn eyewitness statements across six states consisting of affidavits, whistleblower accounts, witnesses, expert testimony, video and photographic evidence, statistical anomalies, and mathematical analyses to provide respective state and federal courts with innumerable demonstrations of mismanaged ballots, voting machine irregularities, due process transgressions, equal protection violations, actual fraud, and more. The vast majority have been dismissed due to improper legal procedures, lack of evidence or legal precedent, and some have been debunked and withdrawn. Yet others cannot be explained away-and until they are/or not-ongoing election integrity will be in doubt.

Generations X, Y, and Z have been denied many sapient ideals and values as a result of free speech suppression and multi-media illiberalism. Lacking in viewpoint diversity, intellectual humility, and critical thinking skills, impressionable young minds are being imprinted by progressive 'regressive' indoctrination. The intellectual capital of these generations has devolved due to decades of exposure to biased and false narratives to the point where Antifa, BLM, OSF and SPLC are seen as social justice warriors-whereas conservatives, whites, Republicans, and Trump supporters are automatically depicted as privileged racist fascists. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but facts must be factual, logic be logical, and truth be truthful. These three cornerstones of sapient thought are being distorted by the trifecta of main stream media, big tech, and academia which have rejected the telos of truth, under the guise of a perverse version of social justice, and are in many ways the de-facto media arm of the Democratic Party. The pervasive results have been revealed in a variety of ways. On-campus watchdog groups have repeatedly shown how widespread disinformation is by interviewing students as to what their opinions are on, among other topics, recent Republican accomplishments under the Trump Administration. When presented with these policies, practices and their effects, a significant percentage believe they are from leading progressives, the Obama Administration, the Democratic Party, and so on. Repeatedly, the misinformed students are shocked when they discover these concepts were actually derived from more conservative sources. Every topic in Free Speech Madness provides a sapient point of view on the intellectual playing field, as opposed to the pervasive progressive lens through which virtually all topics are currently presented. For the indoctrinated, this textbook can function as a difficult but vital intervention. For the open-minded, it will be one revelation and epiphany after another. Are you a sapient being open to the unvarnished truth? If so, then Free Speech Madness is for you!

According to many government statistics, America's education system is failing due to lower expectations and the shift in focus from academic excellence in mathematics, science, reading, and history toward the implementation of social constructs like critical race theory equals fewer literate graduates. "Public records and other evidence show that state-level and some local education officials are no longer focused on maintaining high academic standards and providing the best public education possible to students," according to Liv Finne. "Instead, a concern for learning has been replaced by an aggressive political agenda designed to instill doubt, mental pain and low expectations in students. This race-centered agenda also seeks to divide children from teachers, their own communities and from each other. This harmful trend can only be resolved through policies that return high-quality academic standards to public education and well-funded and supportive education-choice programs that allow families to access alternatives services to meet the learning needs of all children." Finne, a former adjunct scholar now serving as Director of the Center for Education at Washington Policy Center, has been analyzing education policy for the past 13 years. Her research suggests the unmistakable decline in the literacy of America's students from fourth to twelfth grade is a direct result of the shift from academic excellence toward social constructs such as Critical Race Theory. Are you concerned about how illiberal and dysfunctional America's teacher's union and leftist dominated public education systems are in our thousands of high schools, community colleges, and 4-year universities? And how to reverse their 'D-' grade to an 'A+' grade? If yes, read on, but be forewarned: For some of you this MADNESS textbook will be a revelation, an epiphany, a sapient being moment. For others, it will be a triggering event, denial of truth, and a painful intervention.

In the 21st century, Progressives have innovated in ideology, jettisoning the economic class struggle of Marxism and replacing it with identity classes: gender, race, sexuality, religion, nationality, and ableness. Now it's (allegedly) whites (including "white adjacent" Asians and "hyperwhite" Jews), males, and Christians who are oppressors-and people of color, women, LGBTQ++, Muslims, and the disabled who are the oppressed victims. With the "social justice" trinity of "diversity, equity, and inclusion," Progressives have returned us to the days of deep Jim Crow, with some races seen as virtuous and others as evil, the only difference being that the colors have changed. Progressive "inclusion" means including preferred races and genders, and excluding the others, as we see in hiring, college admissions, funding, promotions, and awards. Equity, meaning the statistical equivalence of races and genders, in practice means more of the preferred and fewer of the despised. Objective measures, such as standardized tests, and advanced education programs, are cancelled, because they don't produce the desired "equity" results. Now institutionalized DEI racism and discrimination are regarded as desirable by Progressives, as long as preferred categories benefit. Who are these Progressives? Answer: They are typically very liberal, highly educated, and majority White-and most say U.S. institutions need to be completely rebuilt because of racial bias. What devious force brought all of this cultural destruction into being? Who injected this destructive poison into the Progressivism movement? The source, of course, is our universities where so many academics and college faculty are the post-modernists, pushing "Progressive" activism at a college near you. Enough! Now is the time to wake up before we do even graver damage-not only to ourselves individually but to our country as a whole. It's a bitter irony that those who want to drive us into this new hysteria often claim to be "woke." But there is no awakening in woke. It's the sleep of reason that produces monsters, and it poses a profound peril to our republic.
