Diversity, Equity & Inclusion under Civil Rights Act of 1964, inter alia
The human resources (HR) management industry, corporations, government agencies, universities, NGOs and non-profits have been embracing and promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies and practices under the contention that they make a positive contribution to the ‘success’ of the organization, society and economies. However, due to the discriminatory nature of DEI and failure of its proponents to demonstrate that these policies have a positive impact in companies and economies, they have come under attack by CEO, academia, and mainstream media. And, when one examines FACTS and EVIDENCE, the ‘interpretations’ of what constitutes ‘Diversity’, ‘Equity’, and ‘Inclusion’ by the aforementioned are not only Ridiculous, but in violation of a variety of US federal laws, starting with the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
As Louisiana State University (LSU) historian Nancy Isenberg explains in her book, White Trash. The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America. (2016) the ‘Race War’ in the US has NOT been about ‘race’, but about ‘class’ which has been interpreted to mean, ‘economic stratification created by wealth and privilege’. However, REAL CLASS is about how one behaves and treats others, and has nothing to do with material wealth or pomp and circumstance. While work ethics and workplaces in the US had already been damaged by decades of affirmative action which began in the 1960s under the Kennedy Administration, DEI has just aggravated long standing problems. As explained in Pamela Newkirk Time Magazine article, Diversity Has Become a Booming Business. So Where Are the Results? , and I quote,
Why do companies spend so much to achieve so little? Lauren B. Edelman, a professor of law and sociology at the University of California, Berkeley, and the author of Working Law: Courts, Corporations and Symbolic Civil Rights, found that courts tend to look for symbolic structures of diversity rather than their efficacy. In other words, the diversity apparatus doesn’t have to work–it just has to exist–and it can help shield a company against successful bias lawsuits, which are already difficult to win.
The DEI industry was $8M in 2003, but exploded with the emergence of the #MeToo and Black Lives Matter movements, and is expected to reach $24.4B by 2030 . However, this industry has just added to the many other ‘training’ ($380B ) and ‘coaching’ ($101B ), and ‘consulting’ ($250B ) jobs which the HR industry, corporations, and bureaucratic governments and pseudo government agencies have embraced in the past century in order to render their ineffective ‘managers’ effective! As American philosopher, and Washington insider James Burnham explained almost a century ago in his book, The Managerial Revolution: What is Happening in the World (1941),
Burnham's claim was that capitalism was dead, but that it was being replaced not by socialism, but a new economic system he called "managerialism"; rule by managers.
Written in 1941, this is the book that theorised how the world was moving into the hands of the 'managers'. Burnham explains how Capitalism had virtually lost its control, and would be displaced not by labour, nor by socialism, but by the rule of administartors in business and in government.
This revolution, he posited, is as broad as the world and as comprehensive as human society, asking "Why is 'totalitarianism' not the issue?" "Can civilization be destroyed?" And "Why is the New Deal something bigger than Roosevelt can handle?"
As demonstrated in my case studies of the International Monetary Fund Family Association, IMFFA (2009-11), then IMF Institute for Capacity Development (ICD) , and then DC restaurants these policies and practices have been promoting bullying, mismanagement, waste of resources, excessive costs, and implicated employers, managers, and employees in serious legal problems under US federal law. The ONLY people who have benefited from DEI policies, are a few power-hungry 'breaking glass ceiling feminists, lecherous, zipper problem men, and entitled, ‘jailbait’ Z Gens who have no morals or scruples and only care about shopping and looking for ‘meal ticket’ Sugar Daddies and husbands. And, lawsuits for bias and discrimination are only difficult to win, because all the lawyers think they are God, but do not know how to argue cases or effectively defend their clients!!
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion or Discrimination, Exploitation & Intimidation
First, it is important to define DEI terms before examining how their semantics are ‘interpreted’ by ‘experts’ and applied in real life situation in education, labor markets, and society in general. According to the Oxford dictionary, Diversity is the “practice or quality of including or involving people from a range of different social and ethnic backgrounds and of different genders, sexual orientations, etc.” Equity is “a situation in which everyone is treated equally.” And, Inclusion is “the fact of including someone or something.” So, at face value there is nothing wrong or illegal in DEI policies, and are principles which are embodied in constitutions and human rights conventions. Therefore, before entering into any intelligent and coherent ‘Conversation’ with proponents of DEI, they must first start defining exactly WHAT they are talking about and how they are ‘interpreting’ these terms.
The problems have arisen with these policies because they are being used by ‘minorities’ to consolidate their power bases in the US, and replace ‘whites’ as the New Dominators and Oppressors. Even though many Latinos have risen to power, their poor immigrant and migrant worker populations are exploited and oppressed like before. Poor Afro-American populations in urban areas have suffered the same fate, with 90% or their male populations in prison or with criminal records. So, where is the ‘proof in the pudding’ of the ‘great strides’ ‘minorities’ have made by being empowered in political, commercial, and social institutions?
Unfortunately, in its application, DEI stands for Discrimination, Elimination, and Intimidation of previously ‘favored’ groups as well as anyone who challenges the minoritists methods and agendas. The largest ‘minority’ group involved, which is NOT a ‘minority’ as they constitute half of the world population, is women, which include white, black, brown, yellow, ‘red’ races, and every religion and sexual orientation on the planet. While women are a diverse group, their unifying factor in the ‘War between the Sexes’, is their desire to control and dominate men, as well as favoritism in the allocation of resources for them and their offspring. This is an age-old story which dates back to ‘Adam and Eve’ and ‘cave man’ times, and has been repeated throughout history.
Since men are physically stronger than women, their tactics in dominating and controlling men (and other women) has relied upon psychological abuse and manipulations, rather than physical and sexual violence. However, since their domination of society, and oppression of dissenters relies upon the physical and sexual violence of men in terrorizing communities and errant members, they support and perpetuate the violence of men generation after generation. The entire situation creates Chaos and Anarchy. And, as any Machiavellian game player can attest, the ones who creates the ‘chaos’ controls the social order and its ‘Conversation’. The situation necessitates more armed forces and oppressive laws to prevent communities from descending into total lawlessness. Eventually, the society decays from within and the ‘haves’ are overthrown by the ‘have nots’ in armed conflict and blood baths. And, the cycle begins anew.
As social scientist Riane Eisler points out in her book, The Real Wealth of Nations: Creating A Caring Economics,
the great problems of our time — such as poverty, inequality, war, terrorism, and environmental degradation — are due largely to flawed economic systems that set the wrong priorities and misallocate resources
Eminent social scientist and bestselling author Riane Eisler points the way to a sustainable and equitable economy that gives value to caring for our greatest economic assets: people and our natural environment.
Opting In Homemakers: Unemployable Parasites or Targets of Discrimination & Hate Crimes by Protection Rackets?
I returned to DC in 2009, seeking assistance from my government, and human and women rights and domestic violence non-profits and ‘experts’ in academia . However, I was told by other victims of family courts that what I had experienced in Spain was ‘par for the course’—and “welcome to the Club.” This threw me into my research and activism work in the interim years, with a major milestone being made with the submission of grievances of victims to the International Criminal Courts (ICC) . However, at the same time I have had to find a job, pay the rent and bills in labor and housing markets which openly discriminate against ‘opting in homemakers’ and ‘old, white Americans’ at rates of 85% and 55%, respectively. Even though I attended expensive, private boarding schools in the US and England (Foxcroft School and Cobham Hall ), whose ‘sales’ pitch are ‘where students make life contacts,’ ‘create future leaders’ and ‘are a guarantee to success’, I have barely been able to find minimum wages jobs.
Since I have been ‘cancelled’ by my ‘family and friends’ and Washington’s ‘polite society’ in reprisal for my efforts to restore due process and Rule of Law to the courts, employers, managers, and co-workers know that I am ‘fair game’ in their hate crimes against the ‘privileged, white, woman’. And, even though I should have ‘protection’ in the courts under US federal law. Since, all the labor law lawyers in DC ONLY care about affirmative action violations and unpaid money to undocumented immigrants, and occasionally a sexual harassment case against powerful men that are targeted in ‘party politics ,’ I am a rightless/stateless person. As reports by the development community state Ad Nauseum ‘omission of actions’ need to be examined with the same scrutiny as ‘actions’ of implicated parties. However, neither is being done!
As seen, ‘Opting Back In’ homemakers have been just as discriminated against and marginalized by labor markets in the industrial ‘modern age’ as every other group. However, for inexplicable reasons they are not considered a historical ‘disfavored’ group in labor markets, political institutions, or access to investment money for business development?!?! ?
As Mario Puzo points out in his book, The Godfather , the protection rackets and black-market economies created by immigrant Italian , (and Irish Catholic , and Jewish ) mafias in NYC , Boston , Chicago , Miami , New Orleans , etc. only did so in backlash to their populations being exploited and oppressed by the old guard, English WASP Colonists. The competition for jobs and access to wealth has been going on since the English Colonies began, and with each passing century including more and more ‘minority’ immigrants in competition for jobs and housing with the Americans. As explained in my book, The ‘Deep State’ in Mommy Wars Between the Feminists, Anti-Feminists, and Socialites , the underlying reason that the American Revolution was fought was to create more ‘wealth’ and ‘opportunity’ in the country through Western Expansionism , which was being restricted by the British Crown at the time . It was not fought, with much bloodshed involved, in defense of the ideological principles of the Founding Fathers. However, even if the interests and motivations of these men was not as they presented, the democratic legal structure was produced, and are still the documents from which the American government derives its legitimacy and Right to Rule.? ??
Unfortunately for me, Agnostic WASP Americans are a 6% minority, amongst a 94% majority of Catholics, Jews, Afro-Americans, Latinos, Asians[i], and foreigners in DC labor markets. So, not only have I been in competition for jobs amongst racist ‘blacks, browns, yellows, Catholics and Jews’ who ‘hate’ me because I am white (and a competent hard worker), and I am exposing their underlying agendas. But, also with the ‘WASPs’ who ‘hate’ me because I expose their underlying agendas, and considered a ‘traitor’ to their ultimate goal of white supremacy . If American First Legal was REALLY interested in challenging the Woke factions in DC, they would have assisted me in initiating lawsuits against these factions, which the Biden Administration classifies as Domestic Violence Extremists (DVEs) . This begs the question of WHAT their agenda actually is?!?!
Furthermore, in my job search, as a divorcee, I have been a threat to all the married women in DC (‘career’ or stay-at-home’) who are afraid I will steal their ‘meal ticket’ husbands. As I point out time and time again, the ‘Sati’ games against divorcees, widows, and other ‘old ladies’ in order to marginalize them from labor markets, are NO different than in a village in Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, etc. – with Sharmini Coorey , Adrianne Thapa , Manal Fouad , Kalpana Kocchar , and Geetha Ravindra , at the IMF a particularly good examples of the phenomenon! As Susan Shapiro Barash, author of Tripping the Prom Queen: The Truth About Women Rivalry, points out,
The expanded choices for women in today’s society [] have also opened up more territories for female competition: “The more options for women in today’s society, the more we see these feelings of jealousy and envy at play.” In the past women’s competition might be focused on clothes, husbands, children, and lifestyle. Now we’re also competing at work, politics, and sports, with increasing pressure to have it all and to succeed in every field.
…First, if we compete with other women over men, looks, and children, we are dooming ourselves to a lifetime of perpetual insecurity. Today we are the ones who trips—tomorrow, who knows? We may find ourselves the one whom others seek to trip. Stealing another woman’s man, or even taking vicarious pleasure when a woman’s loss of beauty reminds us that one day, we, too, will face a younger, prettier rival. Seeing our lives as a grand contest among women means entering a competition that we can never finally win.
Second, competing with women at the workplace creates practical problems as well as psychological difficulties. Not only do we deprive ourselves of the companionship of female colleagues, we keep ourselves from relying upon those who should be our natural allies; If women see other women as their primary rivals on the job, we won’t gain power but will only lose ground. Instead of focusing on doing the best job possible and on competing, if necessary, with every other employee in our field, we will narrow our energies to petty contests with other women, and our rivalry can easily backfire. ???
Washington, DC from 10k in 1870 to a Metropolis of 9.5M in 2022
DC was created with the SOLE purpose of housing a federal government which would SERVE the American People and uphold the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. However, those who have flocked to the city since its creation have done so to advance their own financial interests, resulting in unending boom-and-bust economies, unending wars, and exploitation and oppression of American citizens by its government. Its population has risen from 10k in 1870 when it was created, to 75k before the Civil War (1861-65), increasing by 75% afterwards to more than 130k. By 1900 the population had risen to 279k, and after WWI escalated to 438k in 1920. It then jumped from 487k in 1930 to 802k in 1950, in the aftermath of WWII and creation of the World Bank and IMF (which currently employ about 22k, a majority of which are foreigners). The city’s population began to decline until 2000 when it reached a low of 572k, but steadily increased to 690k by 2020[1]. However, even though the DC numbers began to decline after WWII, it suburbs grew from a Metropolis of 1.5M in 1950 to 9.5M in 2022, with a ‘thriving’ economy of $580B. Washingtonians are confronted with the same conflict of interests in assuring that the injection of taxpayers money continues into their increasingly large boom-and-bust economies as all the other urban center residences in the US.?
In the late 19th c. minorities of Irish, German and Jewish immigrants flocked to the city, contributing to a white majority of 70% (versus an Afro-American minority) until 1958, when the city became predominately Afro-American, reaching its peak of 73% in 1970. However, the city was racially and economically divided, with a concentration of wealth in NW DC, with NE, SE and SW, occupied by poor and middle-class Afro-Americans and growing immigrant populations. In the ensuing decades, the city went through further ethnic shifts in distribution of wealth and power which resulted in a white minority of 38%, and black, Latino, and Asian majority of 57.5%. However, with the growing spending of the US federal government, which increased from $63B in 1950 to $8.86B in 2022 , with a breakdown as follows” ?

Racial demographics in the Beltway area at present are similar (ie. White (Non-Hispanic) (44.1%), Black or African American (Non-Hispanic) (24.7%), Asian (Non-Hispanic) (10.4%), Other (Hispanic) (6.52%), and White (Hispanic) (5.91%) .) As explained in the Urban Institute’s report, “State of Immigrants in the District of Columbia: Data Profiles of Immigrants from Latin America, Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean ”?
Though Washington, DC, has not historically been a center for immigration to the US, since the 1980s our region has emerged as one of the country’s largest new gateway destinations for immigrant communities (Singer 2004). The total immigrant population in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area has increased tenfold since the 1970 Census, from 130,000 to 1.3 million immigrants today, according to the 2012–16 American Community Survey. Most of that growth has been in the suburbs outside of the District of Columbia. Nevertheless, the city’s immigrant population has grown steadily, from 33,600 to 95,400 people between 1970 and 2012–16 estimates. Though immigrants represented only 4 percent of the city in 1970, today immigrants make up 15 percent of DC’s population and have contributed to the demographic, economic, and cultural growth of our nation’s capital.
Ever since the 23rd Amendment was added to the US Constitution in 1961 granting the Rights of DC residents to vote in Presidential elections, they have consistently voted Democrat going from 85.5% in 1964 for Lyndon B. Johnson to 92.15% in 2020 for Joe Biden. Furthermore, ever since 1957 when DC’s Mayor started to be elected by popular vote, they has been of Afro-American origin, with current Mayor, Muriel Browser its first female. Furthermore, DC’s sole representatives in the US Congress have been Afro-Americans (Walter Fauntroy, 1971-91, and Eleanor Holmes Norton). During their tenures, Washington became known as the ‘murder capital’ of the US due to the rising consumption of illegal drugs by its ruling-elite and criminal activity it engendered. At the same time, female representation in the US Congress rose from one Republican woman from Montana in 1917 to a record number of 148 women in 2021. However, in spite of all these ‘milestones’ for ‘breaking glass ceiling’ feminists and minorities. And, even though DC is one of the most highly educated and paid labor force in the country, one in four of its adults struggle with basic reading skills, and one in three cannot do basic math, with 17.4% living in poverty . Furthermore, its homeless population has increased with a changing demographic since the 1970s to include single, head of household mothers, along with army Vets, and ‘vagrant’ men .
Grants, Loans & Scholarships for Foreign Students in the US: 1940s Fulbright Scholarship, 1960 JFK Administration & 2002 Colombian Presidential Candidate Ingrid Betancourt
The case study of Ingrid Betancourt , and her father, mother and sister in the past 70 years provides further evidence as to the negative effect liberal immigration policies have had on Washington’s society, economy, and political institution. As explained in the article by Burton Bollag, “Student Loans: A Slippery Lifeline” (2001), Ingrid’s father, Gabriel Betancourt (1918–2002), began his stellar career in Colombian and international politics by procuring a loan to study abroad from his employer. ???
The world’s first national student loan program, according to [Jamil] Salmi, was established because one graduate wanted to share his good fortune with others. In the late 1940s, Gabriel Betancourt, a young Colombian from a poor family, persuaded the manager of the company he worked for to lend him money to study abroad. He was so grateful for the opportunity that, after graduating, he successfully lobbied the Colombian government to establish a permanent loan mechanism. In 1950, he became founding director of the Colombian Student Loan Institution. The institution continues providing loans today, but only to 6 percent of students— down from a high of 12 percent—due to a lack of government support.
Betancourt served as Colombian Minister of Education (1955-56 and 1966-68) and headed the education commission of the Alliance for Progress which was created by the Kennedy Administration in 1961. The organization’s mission was to establish economic cooperation between the US and Latin America. In 1969, a study to assess its effectiveness was commissioned by Richard Nixon, with NY Governor Nelson Rockefeller to head it. He wrote in his report that, ?
There is general frustration over the failure to achieve a more rapid improvement in standards of living. The United States, because of its identification with the failure of the Alliance for Progress to live up to expectations, is blamed. People in the countries concerned also used our visit as an opportunity to demonstrate their frustrations with the failure of their own governments to meet their needs...demonstrations that began over grievances were taken over and exacerbated by anti-US and subversive elements which sought to weaken the United States, and their own governments in the process.[13] (Wikipedia)
This organization, and affirmative action educational programs have been failures from start to finish. The Fulbright Student program , administered by the US State Department, and promoted by jet-setting ‘philanthrope’, Harriet Fulbright , and alumnae of my alma mater, Foxcroft School , is another case in point. Ingrid Betancourt and Harriet Fulbright are just two of the many women in my global networks, which I have contacted in the past seeking partners for my ‘Expat Wives Club’ Global Expat project . Even though participation in the project would have made them very wealthy, and would help ensure that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were achieved. They, and other ‘champions of human rights’ have not been interested. As I continually point out the SDGs are producing Increasing Income Inequality because those holding the purse string and promoting the propaganda are the same as those who have produced Increased Income Inequality under Reaganomics ‘trickle down’ in the past 40 years.
I was one of the few French expats in Bogota who supported Ingrid’s 2002 ‘green party’ presidential platform, which had been based on anti-corruption and Peace. Even though I thought her campaign promises were na?ve, and demonstrated a lack of appreciation of the complexity of issues. Her high-profile publicity campaign in France as the ‘Jean d’Arc of Colombia’, before announcing her presidential campaign in Bogota, was brilliant. She gained enormous press coverage with her PR stunts in France. Unfortunately, she has shown herself to be just another in a long list of politicians who have come and gone, with delusions of grandeur, empty rhetoric, and an entourage of groupies who just show up for the parties and festivities.
Apart from Gabriel Betancourt’s involvement in the Alliance for Progress, he served as Permanent Delegate to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). However, like other expatriates in the international development community, he and his family were motivated by the social mobility employment the UN, World Bank, and IMF afford them and their families. As a consequence, generations of families in the international community have become even more arrogant and entitled than their parents or the American and European elitist they have been emulating and ‘following’. Instead of SERVING the People, staffers spend their time jet-setting and propagating Woke, illiberal propaganda which are the prevailing ideologies in Democrat controlled Washington. They live in a fantasy world created by ‘learned experts’, corporate moguls, mainstream media, publishers, and Titania McGrath style social media influencer groupies .
Living the Life of the Rich and Famous at Davos for IMF, World Bank & UN Staffers While Economies & Societies Self-Destruct
As seen in the CNBC article, “‘The Davos underground’: A final take on the secretive parties of the world’s rich and powerful ,” taxpayers are footing the bill for all these ‘experts’ to attend lavish meetings and make ‘back room’ deals, and I quote,?
With the Russian delegation again banned from the remote Alpine resort town, the parties weren’t quite as opulent or as debaucherous as they used to be, according to multiple, long-time World Economic Forum regulars.
In years past, billionaire oligarchs bankrolled many of the lavish and infamous events held on the sidelines of the annual gathering of the world’s elite. The kind of parties where?guests are spoon-fed caviar by models dressed in costumes ?and blockbuster names in business and politics let loose and talk shop in a way where no filter sometimes yields results..
Sure, there are still the ultra-exclusive dinners hosted by the likes of the Hungarian-born billionaire George Soros. Anti-Putin activist Bill Browder of Hermitage Capital, who no longer attends the official program, citing costs, convened guests on the first night of the forum at Ochsen Steakhouse, which boasts a menu of exotic game including zebra, ostrich, horse, and wild boar.
The Illuminati’s Eye of Providence even made an appearance, as people dressed as monks claiming to work at Moonshot Investor Network, which focuses on alternative investments like private equity, went along the promenade handing out Renaissance-styled scrolls to a select few….
On Tuesday night, it was mob-like conditions in the lobby of Hotel Europe, where Anthony “the Mooch” Scaramucci was holding the 13th edition of the Annual Davos Wine Forum Tasting.
Guests queued for nearly an hour in mosh pit-level intimacy, waiting for a wristband and admission up the stairs to the famed soirée, which offers guests a curated selection of so-called “100 point” wines from around the world, such as the 2003 Chateau Latour which sells for $995 a bottle.
The delay had to do with the fact that the party’s co-host — SkyBridge Capital founder and former White House Communications Director to President Donald Trump for ten days in 2017 — showed up late to his own shindig, and subsequently had trouble getting past the security detail hired to safeguard his event….
…. But Davos regulars maintain that things just aren’t as lavish or as wild as they once were…
Even though the IMF, World Bank, and UN were created in order to prevent the rise to power of another Adolf Hitler and World War. They have been In Bed with the American and British governments (whose imperialistic agendas are the same as the German Nazis) since their creation in the 1940s. However, since the 1990s power bases and alliances of the Asians, Africans, Middle Easterners, and Latin Americans in them have expanded, these factions have been in competition with the Americans and Europeans for control of the organizations and their policies. Their activity is illegal under US federal laws and international conventions and treaties. However, ‘authorities’, the legal community, and Washington ‘polite society’ are too busy living the ‘American Dream’ to notice, or care. ??
While Joseph Stiglitz forced resignation as Chief Economist of the World Bank in 2000 , should have been a ‘Wakeup call’ to the press, policy makers, and general public. And, the early resignation of its President, Dr. Jim Yong Kim (Obama appointee) in 2019 and David Malpass (Trump appointee) in 2023 should have raised alarm bells. The events were just passing headline news for paparazzi passing themselves off as journalists, without serious questions being asked about WHAT is going on within these organizations! As long as the injection of artificial wealth into Washington’s economy, and its ‘party hardy’ culture, continues everyone will continue to ‘drink the Kool Aid’ of the ‘propagandists’ who accuse anyone who disagrees with them of being a ‘conspiracy theorists’ and ‘paranoid’! The naivety of the ’propagandists’ is only matched by their ignorance and stupidity! ?
