Libraries: Books Sit On a Dusty Shelf to Agendas Without History There to Stop It
The New York Times, Reporting
The New York Times article by Elizabeth A. Harris and Alexandra Alter stated that they “spoke to two dozen librarians and library associations across the country for this article.” There is over 3,140 counties in the United States, and undoubtedly, many librarians may feel a bit pressured now.
But why is that occurring? How long has it been going on? What were the signs? And did these persons, if librarians for a great while, speak up then, or offer a rationale behind their complicity, or ignoring of obvious signs?
At issue is the ongoing necessity of key influencers to use entryism of LBGTQ+ and CRT-based training (which itself is Marxist in drag) to divide-and-rule America and her youth. First, on the matter of LGBTQ, The Times reflected this exchange:
“Lawn Boy” and “Gender Queer,” calling them pornographic. Both books, award winners with L.G.B.T.Q. characters and frank depictions of sex, have been challenged around the country and were available at the North Hunterdon High School library. Then the woman called out Ms. Hickson, who is the librarian there, by name, for allowing her 16-year-old son to check out the books.
“This amounts to an effort to groom our kids to make them more willing to participate in the heinous acts described in these books,” said the parent, Gina DeLusant, according to a video recording of the meeting. “It grooms them to accept the inappropriate advances of an adult.”
The question here: Does Gender Queer provide that as the backdrop and provide encouragement towards submission and sexual acts by minors? The librarian didn’t offer an analysis, or even a retort. Rather, The Times choose to print:
Ms. Hickson said the accusation left her sick to her stomach, with a tightness in her chest. “I was stunned,” she said. “I couldn’t believe it.”
Hickson’s physical and emotional reactions to a mom’s comment may be more telling about Hickson’s guilt or shame. The ignoring of these books, whose premise, from the title (Gender Queer) alone is about gender and homosexuality; and undoubtedly, the mom thinks so too, but: is the book “pornographic?”
How many sexual acts are in the book? Are they legal? Consenting adults?
Does it have any non-sexual, non-queer characters that are depicted well or presented as equally as affirming as the “protagonist” of this book?
Does it have any countervailing storylines? Any complexity regarding heterosexual relationships and their healthiness?
Does it consider social contracts, norms of society, and reflect on them rightly?
But one has to assume [since there is no discussion of it and one is NOT buying the book] that severe tensions revolved around adult-child, inappropriate and potential sexually criminal interactions. Such explicit and adult topics are rarely handled well, if ever, at all; and the award - for this title - by its pro-policy LGBTQ+ shills does not a GOOD BOOK or LESSON or VALUE SYSTEM make.
REVISION Note: Libs of Tik Tok Published on July 12th On this Topic
But, as it turns out, a discussion on Gender Queer has been done. Recently, LibsofTikTik wrote on a Oregonian School District that KEPT Gender Queer in their schools. Here was some of the emails from the special committee that supported this:
“The book will be necessary to keep in schools, to help be more inclusive and allow all students from the LGBTQ+ community to have a resource to refer to. In addition, the pages taken out of context do not represent the intention of the book and only served as an illustration to help provide understanding of what the author was trying to portray in their book.”
“The book expands on sexual orientation and gender identity which are both topics touched on in wellness.
However, the images of the book, and promotion of underage pornographic acts (oral sex) in schools where 14-year-olds need math, science, reading and history lessons, instead, it was noted by LibsofTikTok:
“The individuals choosing to provide this book to children won’t even allow it to be read at a public hearing. How is a book considered too graphic for the public but deemed “inclusive” for children? Why do they want what they’re teaching our children to be kept a secret? Why are parents routinely shut down when they voice their concerns?”
But that’s the point of ALL of THIS. The Mom (or DAD)- notice my choice of words - is not to be disregarded or slighted in their value system promotion for THEIR CHILD. This librarian - has found themselves in a culture war of their own rather lackadaisical making. The Oregon school district reinforced that as well.
The New York Times then pitched the victim angle: name-calling and criticalness of the once safe and unassuming librarian.
In many communities, putting books on the shelves has become a polarizing act and has “turned librarians into this political pawn,” said Ami Uselman, the director of library and media services for Round Rock Independent School District, in Texas.
“You can imagine our librarians feel scared,” she said, “like their character was in question.”
These “character” questions began long ago. This writer noticed as far back as 2015-16 a stark and sinister shift came into our libraries. The library went from places of books and knowledge-seeking to performing arts places for Drag Queen Story Time initiation and indoctrinating tomes while eschewing foundational writings (Classics). This one example is from a verified, New York City Library YouTube account. (AP story link)
The New York Times piece then buttressed these librarians up, stating:
Librarians are taught to curate well-rounded collections that represent a range of viewpoints, especially on contentious topics, according to the American Library Association; they use award lists, reviews and other publications to inform their choices.
Addressing book challenges has always been part of the job, but efforts to ban books have spiked in recent months, reflecting a clash over whether and how to teach children about issues like L.G.B.T.Q. rights and racial inequality.
What these librarians are “taught” or apply from the ALA is a matter for debate. Assuming these frazzled librarians just pick off those lists, means a larger issue may be at-hand. One, if a deep dive investigation was done, would likely see that (my hypothesis) it is: a socio-political shift to distort American values; seeking out victimhood (or specialness) to buttress up their self-esteem; and to push (or eagerly allow in) political agendas to ruin fledgling educational desires of the confused minors.
(The results are far more damaging when one considers who has funded 6,255 Global Library/U.S. grants. Note: This is not all of Gates funding of libraries.)

Counternarratives Are Needed
American values are about motivations to become the best one can in their field of study without asking to be treated differently or expecting people to give one credit for unearned results. Those values too (of motivation, mastery, modesty) are antithetical to current dogmas and framing by both political parties in D.C. (The politicians sow divide-n-rule measures to maintain their power. These power people, whether in Congress, the Agencies, lobbyists, think tanks, are not interested in building a country, but destroying its character, its resources, its educational and scientific achievements, and lowering expectations, like President Obama mentioned, and delivered, often. This while getting rich of the American public through taxes.)
Race baiting and victimhood has been a heavy topic of discussion the last decade - not due to America’s actual racial problems, as they stood in 2012 - but rather, indicative of a failed economy recovery from 2008; and offshore exploitation of the country’s wealth, against its black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Caucasian and Indian heritage citizenry. In short, everyone outside of the Technocrats and Bureaucrats, running the markets like its their casino and their piggybank are getting screwed.
Then, Hannah-Jones, created her educational myth: The 1619 Project. She placed the ideas behind U.S. Independence as merely rooted in the continuation of slavery and racial supremacy, falsely and disparaging to the entirety of U.S. history. That many teachers now adopted this extremist theory, and then added in, their own Marxist concepts learned at an increasingly radicalized higher-education institutions. The Times mentioned the newest figures in that overlapping hustle here as well:
“How to Be an Antiracist,” by Ibram X. Kendi, and “Between the World and Me,” by Ta-Nehisi Coates.
These two titles appealed to the Collectivist Left and to the white guilt Liberals. Lest we forget: Barack Obama was elected twice over white guys. Living in a red state, a Midwestern small town, in 2008, Obama was considered hopeful among my then-friends. [Note: This author voted for, and canvassed for, Obama in 2008. A mistake of not understanding the man - or his ideological aims. One also has a college degree; a male; and Scots-Irish-Cherokee Indian-English.]
Lastly, the political agenda, most expressed in 2020, was to seize power through any means at their disposal. There is an overt Agenda (The Great Reset, Agenda 2030) - playing out now, daily - to remake this country (and this world) into a Fasco-Communist-tolerating, high-tax, conflict-laden, lower-standard-of-living, unmotivated country and by extension, the Western World. And the debt levels (as the piggybank is bankrupted by idiotic or self-serving policies with Central Bank malfeasance), required crises to move the remaining middle class assets into the richest hands by a series of them (COVID, Floyd, J6, Afghanistan, Ukraine) to distract the general population from this final, financial rape of the country. (And Europe has the same coming.)
Climate Hustle in 1 Paragraph & The Neo-Malthusians
Bill Gates and Larry Fink, BlackRock CEO, discussed this rather openly in early 2021. (Doing the historical blame game on CO2 emissions. But ignoring who makes them now, and why, at present. And how that even occurred - hint: the gutting of American manufacturing hastened the rise in CO2 emissions in offshore places without emission controls (China, India) where people (worldwide) gobbled up these low-quality, high-turn products. NIMBYism at its highest level operated here. If these industries would have stayed in America, less profit margins, technology transfers (often by theft), and lower “casino” stock markets then it follows that localism would be favored. China and Indian then grows, ORGANICALLY. Globalism made for horrific economic policy straight from Washington, D.C. (Add Globalism in regards to corporate greed and Wall Street which has thoroughly wrecked society. Thus the Chinese Corporations of America do overt Fascism now; and support the extreme left on transgenderism. The Chinese are subverting the U.S. towards immorality - like their Russian teachers taught them in the 1920s.) These together are the decisive factors to the current scenarios, plus add-in: no large infrastructure projects are done in the United States. But, these Globalist policies were never about maintaining the United States. Rather, these “climate change”-offshoring, stock-juicing, and wealth-extracting methods were designed to destroy it. That is what Washington D.C. from Bush I-Clinton-Bush II-Obama-Trump-Biden has desired; and the administrative state does it as well via wars and Color Revolutions to do money laundering through far-off lands for the Plutocracy and the Political Aristocracy.)
The above sociopaths are but two key generals (like the PMs of penetrated cabinets) for the real Masters (DAVOS has even a higher master) that want full, State-Controlled of children, creating, like Quigley noted below “dregs” that:
Are Dumb (Psychopathically controllable)
Are Transgendered-confused (Future Transhumanism guinea pigs)
Are Racially-charged (Increases crime, social unrest, blame game politics)
And, Despising of anyone with more (Famines to come will only add to this)
This, as these new Technocratic rulers take your Rights, and Liberties, and The Libraries as well, away from ordinary citizens. One does not expect librarians to understand the complexity of all of this Agenda. Even as they should have the BEST history resources, and a broad understanding of how Fascism, Communism, and yes, Nazism, worked at in its origins.
To submit the common people: the radical proponents of those evil ideologies targeted their children’s identities, their thinking, and their immature sexual desires. And were fairly successful - in the humanity-destroying regards, numbering 100 million plus dead in the 20th century. Now, these parasitic, Totalitarian forces want multiples of that number dead to reduce the “lesser” humans down to a manageable rabble under a Technocracy of nearly unimaginable 24-7 control.
