Le système Bolloré : quand l’empire médiatique protège l’empire néocolonial


Vincent Bolloré, héritier d’un empire industriel breton, est devenu en quelques décennies l’un des hommes les plus puissants de France. À la tête d’un conglomérat tentaculaire qui mêle logistique portuaire, transport ferroviaire, communication et médias, il a bâti une fortune estimée à plusieurs milliards d’euros.

Derrière ces chiffres colossaux, un fait central : l’Afrique a longtemps été, et reste en partie, le principal moteur de cette fortune. De Lomé à Douala, de Cotonou à Abidjan, l’empreinte de Bolloré sur les infrastructures stratégiques africaines est telle qu’il est régulièrement surnommé le « roi de l’Afrique » [1] ou « l’empereur des ports » [2].

George Ezra - Wanted On Voyage (2014)

La carriera di George Ezra, nativo della campagnola Hertford, dintorni di Bristol, ha avuto una velocità che la rende virtualmente inesistente. Ancora quasi ragazzino, dopo essersi diplomato in un istituto di “modern music” di Bristol, impressiona tutti con la sua scioltezza alla chitarra e soprattutto la voce possente. L’ascesa è fulminea: live, partecipazioni, passaggi in radio e social network delle sue prime canzoni. Tratta dal suo primo Ep “Did You Hear The Rain?” (2013) è la sua maggiore hit, la “Budapest” ululata e gorgheggiata che ha avuto l’indubbio merito di riportare la canzone d’autore semi-acustica alle vette della classifica di vendita nell’era di Pitbull, David Guetta e Skrillex. Questo nuovo enfant prodige rimane, comunque, anni luce da obblighi contrattuali di sorta. Ezra dimostra, alla prova dell’album lungo “Wanted On Voyage”, di avere una sporta d’idee efficaci e pure affascinanti, e una coerenza di ferro nell’imporle... artesuono.blogspot.com/2014/07…

27.09.2025 Hausdurchsuchungen beim "Nordbund"


Gefährliche "Wandergruppe"

Mit Hausdurchsuchungen am 16. September hat die Polizei in mehreren Bundesländern versucht der Neo-Nazi-Gruppe Nordbund ein Ende zu bereiten. Im Enzkreis in Baden-Württemberg und im Kreis Lippe in Nordrhein-Westfalen, sowie an zwölf Orten in und um Hannover fanden diese Hausdurchsuchungen statt. Man stellte scharfe Kurz- und Langwaffen sicher, Munition unterschiedlichen Kalibers, Bargeld sowie, laut einer Mitteilung, "Gegenstände, die als Sprengmittel geeignet" sind, schreibt die taz.

Bei den Beschuldigten handelt es sich wieder einmal um zwei aktive wie auch zwei ehemalige Soldaten und einen Bundespolizisten. Diese haben Verbindungen zur kriminellen Rockerbande Hells Angels und zur verbotenen Neonazi-Gruppe Blood & Honour.

Einige Namen der Beschuldigten tauchten bereits vor Jahren bei den NSU Ermittlungen als mögliche Unterstützer auf. Erst eine Beschreibung der Männer in einer Antifa-Broschüre lässt im März 2022 den Militärgeheimdienst MAD aufhorchen. Das führt zu einer Befragung verdächtiger Soldaten in mehreren Kasernen. Unter den Beschuldigten sind auch Männer mit Scharfschützenausbildung, die auf Fragen nach ihren gemeinsamen Tätigkeiten nur anmerken: "Man geht zusammen wandern, trinkt Bier zusammen."

Außerdem gab es Wehrsportübungen teilweise auf einem Truppenübungsplatz in der Lüneburger Heide bei Munster. Einer von ihnen betrieb jahrelang das Ladengeschäft Dezentral, das militärische Ausrüstung "von Soldaten für Soldaten" angeboten hat und Behörden einen Rabatt gewährte ...

Einem von ihnen wurde 2011 sein Dienstgrad aberkannt, nachdem das ZDF-Magazin "Frontal 21" 2008 über seine Verbindungen zu Blood & Honour berichtet hatte. Mit anderen Worten seit 17 Jahren konnte diese Neo-Nazi-Gruppe unbehelligt existieren. Wieder einmal zeigt sich, wie blind die Sicherheitsbehörden auf dem rechten Auge sind ...

Als regelmäßiger Kritiker von EU-Regulierung heute meine Meinung zur aktuellen Meldung, wonach Google und Apple den Digital Markets Act (DMA) erheblich kritisieren. 🏛️🤬

▶️ Was ist passiert?

Apple und Google erklären öffentlich, dass der DMA, der eigentlich für fairen Wettbewerb sorgen sollte, erheblichen und unbeabsichtigten Schaden bei europäischen Nutzern und kleinen Unternehmen anrichte.

Um es gleich vorwegzunehmen: Hier bin ich diametral anderer Auffassung. Der DMA ist eines der wichtigsten EU-Gesetze überhaupt.

▶️ Warum?

Unsere aktuelle Wirtschaftsordnung, der Postfordismus, wandelt sich zum digitalen Kapitalismus ("Plattformökonomie"). In der Plattformökonomie sind nicht mehr die Prinzipien von Angebot und Nachfrage alleine entscheidend, sondern digitale Plattformen, die Angebot und Nachfrage zusammenbringen.

Digitale Güter sind prinzipiell grenzenlos verfügbar, weshalb mit Ihnen nach den klassischen Wirtschaftsmodellen keine großen Gewinne zu erwirtschaften sind. Große Digitalkonzerne stellen daher nicht mehr nur Produkte, sondern Plattformen zur Verfügung, die die Funktion der Märkte selbst übernehmen (übrigens auch ein Grund, warum "Pay" und "Financial" Funktionen bei allen Plattformen so beliebt sind - ist "Bezahlung" doch eine fundamentale Funktion des Marktes).

Beispiel: Wer eine App-Entwicklungs-Firma gründen möchte, kann das gerne und völlig frei tun. Findet aber außerhalb von Apples App Store und Googles Play Store keinen Markt mehr vor. Die Plattformen selbst sind zum Markt geworden und haben den Markt gewissermaßen privatisiert. Für Ihre Dienste kassieren die Plattformen durch die entstandende Dominanz nahezu leistungsloses Einkommen, dass der Wertschöpfung entzogen wird. Den Rentenzahlungen kann kein Unternerhmen entgehen.

Es ist daher gut und richtig, dass alternative App-Stores zur Verfügung gestellt werden müssen. (Ich freue mich über meinen Epic-Store und über F-Droid auf meinem Smartphone!)

Dasselbe gilt für Plattformen die Mobilität, Handel, Hotel, Videos, Nachrichten etc. betreffen. Jeder Hotelier und Online-Shop muss heute gigantische Renten (Provisionen) an Plattformen als private Märkte abdrücken. Für einen Sommerurlaub gerne einmal 10 - 20 % des Preises, für eine App 15 - 30 %. Wahnsinn. 🙆‍♂️

▶️ Fazit

Wir dürfen es nicht zulassen, dass zwischen reale Wertschöpfung und Kunden private Märkte geschoben werden, die - erst einmal unersetzbar gefestigt - leistungslose Renten einstreichen und so der realen Wirtschaft die Mittel entziehen. Wir brauchen unabweisbar Spielregeln für den digitalen Kapitalismus, wenn wir es nicht hinnehmen wollen, dass die Funktion der Märkte irgendwann vollständig auf wenige private Plattformen konzentriert ist. Insbesondere und gerade im KI-Zeitalter wird diese Tendenz erheblich beschleunigt werden.

Der DMA ist vielleicht nicht perfekt, er ist aber für unseren Kontinent eines der entscheidensten Gesetze überhaupt. 🤝

If the MAHA lunatics ever get their heads around epigenetics, shit is gonna get REAL in the conversation about innate vs environmental causes of autism. It shades almost immediately into an unfair but VERY FUNNY discourse of intergenerational blame.

For my autism, I'd like to thank the Silent Generation and its brilliant chemists for putting lead in the petrol — love your work guys. I'd like to thank the Boomers, Mum who smoked a pack a day through pregnancy and the first eight years of my life despite knowing I was allergic to tobacco smoke, Dad who drank and smoked weed right up until Mum's first pregnancy. (Although having two kids in quick succession scared him into quitting and made him an absent workaholic. Good job Dad.)

The genetic contribution to autism is considerable — if Dad ever emerges from his hobbyist space he'll discover he had 3/3 kids with #AuDHD (the call is very much coming from inside the house).

But there's no single gene for autism; when we talk sensibly about neurotypes we are referring to something like phenotype, except it describes the way complex networks of genes contribute to an overall gestalt, the autistic brain. As these networks vary from person to person, so it's true that every autistic person is different, and all those variations of autism certainly don't result from a single feature like neuronal branching patterns.

And even within families you can have normies, people who are eccentric but not diagnosable as autistic, and auties proper. Epigenetics may explain why people with large swathes of common genetics still have such different outcomes.

For example: does allergic inflammation during pregnancy and infancy put epigenetic markers that up or down-regulate sections of DNA that contribute to autistic behaviour and patterns of neurological development? WHOMST CAN SAY — but it's a reasonable bet that epigenetic encoding of environmental influence is going to be part of the picture.





Qué fue de los 'verdugos' de los últimos cinco fusilados de la dictadura de Franco


Qué fue de los 'verdugos' de los últimos cinco fusilados de la dictadura de Franco

El 27 de septiembre de 1975, la dictadura franquista asestó su último golpe mortal a la libertad política en España. Cinco jóvenes militantes de 11 acusados, dos de ETA político-militar (Juan Paredes Manot y Ángel Otaegui) y tres del FRAP (Frente revolucionario Antifascista y Patriota) –Xosé Humberto Baena, José Luis Sánchez Bravo y Ramón García Sanz–, fueron condenados a muerte y fusilados en juicios militares sumarísimos y mediante consejos de guerra ante multitudinarias muestras de rechazo internacional. Sobre por qué las penas de algunos de los acusados fueron conmutadas por cárcel y otras no, la escritora Aroa Moreno Duran reflexiona: "No se explica, aquellas penas de muerte fueron un castigo que quería mostrar ejemplaridad desde dentro de ese régimen que colapsaba. Igual que los consejos de guerra fueron una farsa arbitraria, lo fueron sus sentencias".

La ejecución de los jóvenes significó el culmen del sistema franquista, que entendía la autoridad como violencia. "Los fusilamientos son la última expresión de un proceso de radicalización que tuvo su punto álgido en los últimos años del franquismo", razona Alejandro Quiroga, profesor de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. "Los niveles de represión fueron menores en los años 60, pero, al crecer la oposición al régimen, este respondió con aún más castigo", añade.

Franco hizo oídos sordos a las numerosas peticiones que recibió para indultar a los condenados y el caso adquirió tal relevancia que el propio papa Pablo VI trató de interceder por ellos: llamó en varias ocasiones a Franco pero fue ignorado. También el propio hermano del dictador insistió en que los perdonara, apeló a su moral cristiana y le aseguró que se arrepentiría. La presión internacional no frenó al régimen, que "no pensaba que iba a tener una gran reacción desde fuera", argumenta Quiroga. Y, en parte, el cálculo no fue del todo erróneo puesto que, según Quiroga, "no hubo grandes sanciones a medio plazo", lo que dio al dictador la potestad de continuar con su actividad.

Franco firmó las condenas de muerte, y es probable que no tuviera tiempo para arrepentirse, pues tan solo dos meses después murió a consecuencia de su ya muy deteriorado estado de salud. Moreno Durán explica que "el dictador estaba enfermo y con él, la dictadura"; y por tanto "la fuerza de la oposición desde principios de los setenta era cada vez más desestabilizante y se agravó la respuesta represiva".

Un nutrido grupo de militares participaron en los consejos de guerra que condenaron a muerte a las últimas cinco víctimas de la represión franquista. Fiscales, vocales y jueces que protagonizaron un proceso sin las garantías judiciales exigibles. Pasado el tiempo, y bajo la protección que les otorgaban la Transición y los primeros pasos de la democracia, algunos de ellos reconocieron haber sido parte del proceso de mala gana y haber recibido órdenes “de arriba” para que la mayoría de los acusados recibieran como castigo la pena capital.

El consejo de guerra en el que se condenó a muerte a Ángel Otaegui fue presidido por el coronel de infantería José Lasanta Martínez, que hizo las veces de juez instructor. Lasanta, ya retirado y dedicado a la vida contemplativa, fue asesinado por ETA 13 años más tarde, el 13 de junio de 1990, mientras paseaba por el paseo de La Concha de San Sebastián. José Urtubia Ramírez, fallecido en el año 2010, fue otro de los presidentes del consejo de guerra y fue ascendido a general de brigada de artillería en el año 1983, ya en democracia, cuando era ministro de Defensa Narcís Serra Serra y presidente del Gobierno Felipe González. Por sus "méritos", le fue concedida la Gran Cruz de San Hermenegildo en el año 1986.

Otra de las figuras relevantes en los juicios fue el capitán auditor Jesús Cejas Mohedano. El diario digital El Salto desveló en 2018 que Cejas Mohedano estaba implicado en una trama de fondos de capital riesgo relacionada con CRM (Capital Riesgo Madrid), empresa que también se vio envuelta en polémica por invertir un millón y medio de euros en otra compañía, de la cual era accionista un primo de la expresidenta de la Comunidad de Madrid Esperanza Aguirre, como también reveló El Salto.

Entre los militares involucrados en las ejecuciones, Ángel Campano López, que murió en 1995 y fue uno de tantos que se presentaron voluntarios para formar parte de la División Azul tras la Guerra Civil. Ejercía como capitán general de la I Región Militar (Madrid) y director general de la Guardia Civil, puesto del cual fue cesado el 23 diciembre de 1976 por no impedir que miembros del cuerpo se manifestaran ilegalmente. Su hijo Miguel Ángel Campano Mendaza, fallecido en 2018, fue un reconocido pintor galardonado con el premio Nacional de Artes Plásticas.

Ángel Urquijo Quiroga, fallecido en el año 2010, y Juan García Saro actuaron como vocales, y el teniente coronel Ramón González Arnao Díez lo hizo como fiscal. El coronel Ricardo Oñate, que fue jefe del tribunal durante uno de los juicios, ejerció el cargo de capitán general de Granada hasta su muerte en el año 1984 y a día de hoy conserva un monumento con su imagen en su pueblo natal, en la provincia de Valladolid.

Muchos de los militares implicados en el juicio continuaron ostentando cargos de relevancia en el ejército o la judicatura. Quizá el más destacado fue José Antonio Sáenz de Santamaría, quien en aquel momento era jefe del Estado Mayor y número dos de la Guardia Civil. Sáenz de Santamaría fue responsable de llevar a cabo los preparativos para las ejecuciones que acabarían con la vida de los cinco jóvenes militantes que formaban parte de ETA y del FRAP. Además, fue director general de la Guardia Civil hasta el año 1986. El militar (que no tiene parentesco con la exvicepresidenta del Gobierno Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría) ejerció deasesor del ministro del Interior José Barrionuevo entre 1982 y 1989, en el Gobierno de Felipe González. Barrionuevo sería condenado en 1998 y pagaría una breve pena de cárcel por la guerra sucia contra ETA. El juez Baltasar Garzón investigó a Sáenz de Santamaría por su implicación en los GAL pero no recibió condena alguna.

El Consejo de Ministros, que dio su "enterado" a las sentencias de muerte, estaba formado, entre otros, por figuras que formaron parte de la vida política tras la Transición. Más tarde algunos de ellos participarían de la fundación de Alianza Popular, ahora Partido Popular. Fernando Suárez González fue ministro de Trabajo y procurador de las Cortes franquistas y más tarde diputado de Alianza Popular en el congreso hasta el año 1989 y eurodiputado hasta el 1994.

Antonio Carro Martínez fue el último ministro de presidencia franquista durante los gobiernos de Arias Navarro, formó parte de la legislatura constituyente con Alianza Popular y ejerció como diputado hasta el año 1989. Luis Rodríguez de Miguel estuvo al frente del Ministerio de Vivienda y fue consejero nacional del Movimiento durante el tiempo en que se llevaron a cabo las ejecuciones. Años más tarde, y ya en democracia, fue designado como fiscal general del Tribunal Supremo hasta su muerte, en 1982. De esta forma, la Transición supuso, más que una ruptura, una continuación. "Se lleva a cabo un pacto entre élites que lo que buscaban era que el régimen siguiera su curso, no que se pasara a un sistema democrático real", manifiesta Quiroga.

Tanto es así que la impunidad para todos los implicados en los fusilamientos fue absoluta. La ley de amnistía aprobada en las Cortes generales en 1977 perdonó todos los delitos políticos, y si bien permitió la salida de prisión de aquellos cuyas penas de muerte habían sido conmutadas por tiempo de cárcel, no administró justicia, librando de responsabilidad alguna a aquellos que, en los últimos meses de la dictadura, acabaron con la vida de cinco jóvenes que no pudieron disponer de un juicio justo.

Tal y como Aroa Moreno Durán explica a este medio, “es insólito que no hayan podido ser juzgados los crímenes de una dictadura, que se permitiera la continuidad de ciertas personas en cargos políticos en democracia y que, hasta hace dos días, torturadores y agentes de la represión conservaran sus condecoraciones y méritos”.

Este sábadose cumplen 50 años desde que el régimen asesino de Franco diera sus últimos golpes mortales. Este mismo año, la familia de Xosé Humberto Baena ha logrado que el Gobierno aplique la ley de memoria democrática, y que Xosé deje de constar como asesino en la documentación oficial para pasar a ser considerado víctima. Una reivindicación que la familia ha llevado siempre por bandera desde que el padre del joven militante comenzara a reclamarlo un año después de su fusilamiento.

En la memoria también ha habido jerarquías y el recibir o no justicia ha dependido en ocasiones del lado del que caía la victima. "Los miembros de ETA han tenido un mayor reconocimiento por el impacto posterior del grupo. En cambio, las víctimas pertenecientes al FRAP han pasado más inadvertidas", expone el profesor de la Complutense. Sobre las víctimas y su reconocimiento, Moreno Durán afirma que “todas deben ser reconocidas como víctimas, sin escalas, lo que implica el reconocimiento oficial de todos los crímenes del franquismo”.

The main body of the article begins with a paragraph describing Israel as a Zionist terrorist project backed mainly by the United States of America. It mentions the collapse of Israel politically and militarily due to resistance, shifting global opinion, and international recognition of the occupation as a system of apartheid and ethnic cleansing. The text continues with a section titled "Collapse of Israel and Restoration of Palestine," discussing the state's downfall due to international pressure and internal fragmentation, leading to the restoration of historic Palestine as a unified homeland.

Gay Trump ally Peter Thiel: Fear of technology will bring on the Antichrist


Peter Thiel, the gay technology baron and ally of Donald Trump and JD Vance, says fear of tech advances will hasten the coming of the Antichrist.

In the Christian Bible, for those who take it literally, the Antichrist represents all that is evil and is “the personal opponent of God,” notes The Wall Street Journal, reporting on an ongoing lecture series on the topic by Thiel. The Antichrist will deceive everyone as to his or her true purposes and will rule the world for a time, thanks to charisma and promises of peace and prosperity, but will eventually be defeated by Jesus Christ in a battle known as Armageddon, bringing on the end of the world.

Thiel, founder or cofounder of tech companies including PayPal and Palantir, claims to be a devout Christian. He has been giving lectures and interviews on the Antichrist and Armageddon for the past year and is now holding a four-part lecture series in San Francisco. The second lecture took place Monday.

Attendees are ordered not to disclose anything about the talks, but some have spoken to the media, and one posted notes on his personal website, which he linked on X, and then got barred from further installments.

In Monday’s lecture, “he encouraged an audience to continue working toward scientific progress, whether in artificial intelligence or other forms of technology,” the Journal reports. “Fearing or regulating it, or opposing technological progress, would hasten the coming of the Antichrist, Thiel said, according to people who attended.”

“Thiel draws on a theory that the Antichrist could be an individual or entity that is incredibly charismatic but talks repeatedly about the end of the world, thereby convincing society to give it the power needed to regulate the existential risks from science and technology,” the news outlet explains.

Previously, in an interview with Peter Robinson of Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, Thiel said, “The Antichrist probably presents as a great humanitarian, it’s redistributive, it’s an extremely great philanthropist as an effective altruist. And these things are not simply anti-Christian, but it is always when they get overly combined with state power that something is very wrong.” Thiel also told Robinson it’s possible to take the Bible’s text “seriously without taking it completely literally.”

“Thiel has previously suggested (seriously) that Greta Thunberg could be the Antichrist, but attendees last week didn’t recall her name coming up,” The San Francisco Standard reports.

That suggestion about the prominent environmental activist came in Thiel’s interview with conservative New York Times columnist Ross Douthat in June. “The thing that has political resonance is: We need to stop science, we need to just say ‘stop’ to this,” Thiel told Douthat. “And this is where, in the 17th century, I can imagine a Dr. Strangelove, Edward Teller-type person taking over the world. In our world, it’s far more likely to be Greta Thunberg.”

Some other tech titans, including Elon Musk, have recently extolled Christianity, at least their version of it. But Pope Leo XIV, arguably the world’s top Christian leader, has questioned the value of artificial intelligence, telling the Catholic News Agency it will be “very difficult to discover the presence of God” in AI.

“Extremely wealthy” people who have invested in AI are “totally ignoring the value of human beings and humanity,” he said, adding, “The danger is that the digital world will follow its own path, and we will become pawns or be brushed aside.”

ACTS 17 — ACTS stands for Acknowledging Christ in Technology and Society — is hosting Thiel’s talks. A cofounder, tech executive Michelle Stephens, responded to criticism that the group is focusing on the rich instead of aiding the poor. “Christians actually don’t do a very good job of ministering to the wealthy, who can think that they’re basically gods themselves, which can be very dangerous,” she told the Journal.

Some other religious figures have questioned Thiel’s concentration on the Antichrist and Armageddon. “My best understanding is that the New Testament writers focus very little, if at all, on pointing followers of Jesus towards spending their energy on accurately identifying the Antichrist,” Jay Kim, lead pastor of WestGate Church in Silicon Valley, told the paper. “To give all your energy into thinking about all that, to me, feels like a pretty futile endeavor.”



7 of Ryan Walters's most heinous anti-LGBTQ+ quotes


Ryan Walters has resigned as Oklahoma state superintendent of public instruction to take a position with a group that fights teachers’ unions. He leaves an almost unprecedented record of anti-LGBTQ+ and especially anti-transgender statements in just two years in office.

Here are some of the worst.

'27 genders'

“You’re not going to come in here and teach that there’s 27 genders,” he said in July while announcing a test to be given to teachers who come to Oklahoma from liberal states to make sure they’re not “woke.” Most likely, no one believes there are 27 genders — or teaches that.

Using bullied trans student Nex Benedict's death to attack 'the woke mob'

“They wanted to use the death of a child to support a political agenda, and I think it’s absolutely disgusting, and you are going to hear these groups, this woke mob, continue to push an agenda and lie to further the most radical agenda this country has ever seen.” This was Walters’s statement in March 2024 on the death of bullied trans student Nex Benedict the previous month. He did not mention Benedict’s name.

Using Benedict's death to attack the margnalized

“There’s not multiple genders. There’s two. That’s how God created us,” Walters told The New York Times in his first interview about Benedict’s death, denying that nonbinary, intersex, or transgender people exist.

Banning LGBTQ-inclusive books

“We’ve found awful books and textbooks in our schools that [have] pornographic material, push transgenderism. We’ve gotten those books out,” Walters said in a February 2024 interview with Crisis in the Classroom, a right-wing group. This is an accusation often made — falsely — to justify bans on LGBTQ-inclusive books.

Forcing the resignation of a gay principal who did drag

“I insisted on the removal of this person from Oklahoma schools from the beginning,” Walters told The Washington Post in February 2024 about forcing the resignation of a gay principal who performed in drag outside of school. “I will not allow the radical left to use our schools to indoctrinate our kids and promote the most extreme forms of sexual deviancy in the classroom and beyond.” The school received bomb threats after the principal’s drag work was publicized. Walters also said he would push for a regulation that would let school staffers be fired for “acts that excessively promote sexuality” outside of work “in the presence of a minor or in a manner available to a minor online.”

Pushing his anti-trans agenda under the guise of protecting women's rights

In a November 2023 memo to textbook publishers after Gov. Kevin Stitt issued the so-called Women’s Bill of Rights, which does not promote women’s rights but denies the existence of trans, nonbinary, and intersex people, Walters wrote, “Radical gender ideology has no place in our classrooms, and that includes all teaching materials. The radical left’s attempt to diminish women will not work in Oklahoma. If textbooks contain any language that runs contrary to the Women’s Bill of Rights, they must be revised before being submitted for consideration in our state.”

Litter boxes!

While running for superintendent of public instruction in 2022, he repeated the debunked idea that schools are letting students identify as cats and use litter boxes — something right-wing extremists posit as the next step after accommodating trans people, just as they said marriage equality would lead to legalization of incest and polygamy. “Have you heard about the litter boxes stuff?” he asked attendees at an event in Stillwater, then shared what he claimed to have heard from a former colleague: “This was a legitimate faculty meeting where the counselors and administrators were talking to the staff ― are you ready? ― about whether they should allow litter boxes in the bathrooms for kids that identify as cats.”



The fall of Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters and the questions around his resignation


When people in power suddenly resign, it’s rarely as clean as the press releases I used to write about make it seem. I’ve been around long enough, both in politics and public relations, to know that “new opportunities” can sometimes be code for “get out while you still can.”

Now, I’m going to couch that with not always, but in instances where the person in question harbors intentions of moving up the ladder, a quick exit usually leaves people scratching their heads, and wondering “Why so fast?”

I’ve helped manage executives out the door after #MeToo scandals, financial impropriety, and even an affair with a subordinate. In each case, they didn’t step down into plum roles that matched their ambition. Instead, they usually disappeared or took smaller, less visible jobs, a soft landing to avoid the boiling pot of controversy.

That’s why I’m scratching my head at the sudden but maybe not surprising resignation of the horrific education leader in Oklahoma, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters. Not so much about his resignation, because he was a disaster, but where he’s going.

Walters resigned to lead a tiny nonprofit, Teacher Freedom Alliance. I’ve never heard of it, and I think most who follow the news can say the same thing. So to me, this isn’t the normal trajectory for a politician who’s spent years posturing for higher office.

Or someone who can’t make ends meet on a government salary and opts for bigger paychecks in the private sector.

Politicians who get fed up with the job or lose elections typically use their time in office as a springboard to lucrative corporate roles or lobbying gigs. For example, President Obama’s campaign manager David Plouffe, for instance, went from politics to a high-powered executive role at Uber.

And many of my friends who worked on Capitol Hill went on to make real money in public affairs. That’s how it usually goes.

But Walters? Instead of climbing up, he’s sinking down or at least going sideways. For a man who made no secret about his aspirations to be governor, this move hints of retreat, not ambition.

Now, having said all that, maybe retreat was the only thing left for him, because Walters wasn’t just a bad superintendent. He was dangerous. In fact, he was so bad that even fellow GOPers in the state legislature were considering impeaching him, not once but twice.

Under his leadership, Oklahoma schools slid to dead last in the nation, at this writing they are ranked 50th. That alone should have been enough to show him the proverbial classroom door. But what defined Walters wasn’t just incompetence. It was maliciousness.

He was obsessed with culture war crusades,all at the expense of children’s safety and education, teachers’ dignity and curricula, families’ freedom, and dare I say, sanity.

Walters did so much damage, like trying to force Bibles into classrooms. And if that wasn’t bad enough, he wanted those Bibles to be Trump-branded Bibles. Blasphemy of the highest order.

That wasn’t all. He demanded that schools push Trumpist doctrine. He promoted Turning Point USA in high schools. He harassed educators who supported the freedom to read, appeared arm-in-arm with the national book-banning group Moms for Liberty, and billed Oklahoma taxpayers for the trip.

He appointed a social media troll with no ties to Oklahoma, no background in literacy or education, and a history of spreading lies about LGBTQ+ people to a state library panel tasked with recommending materials for children.

But Walters’s attacks on the LGBTQ+ community and on vulnerable children in particular are what will mark his tenure as truly disgraceful,and disgusting.

He spread disinformation about transgender youth, producing and promoting videos that wrongly accused them of being threats in schools. The reality? Thirty-five percent of transgender students report being assaulted in bathrooms that don’t align with their gender identity. Walters knew this, or should have, but he chose to fuel hysteria instead of protecting kids.

He denied the existence and history of Two-Spirit and gender-expansive people, including within Indigenous cultures in his own state. This came after the bullying, beating, and death of Nex Benedict, a Two-Spirit transgender gender-nonconforming teenager of Choctaw heritage.

I spoke with the mothers of Matthew Shepard and Tyler Clementi about Benedict’s death, Walters's words, and how it not only brought back immense pain but also showed that the fight for queer youth's rights and dignity needs to continue.

Walters pushed book bans to strip classrooms and libraries of inclusive stories that let LGBTQ+ students see themselves. He spread disinformation about history, going so far as to deny that the Tulsa Massacre was a racist attack. Unbelievably racist.

His warped thought process was that if history or literature didn't fit his narrow, extremist worldview, it didn’t belong in Oklahoma schools.

And while Walters played his dangerous games, hate crimes in schools climbed. Oklahoma has become a case study in how restrictive laws against LGBTQ+ students directly correlate to increased violence.

Teachers saw it. Students felt it. Parents feared it. Walters ignored it, or worse, exploited it. And that, in and of itself, should be grounds for impeachment.

So forgive me if I don’t buy the official story of his resignation. Not for a second. It’s too abrupt, too strange, too off-brand for a man who always saw himself as destined for more and the arbiter of what should go on in classrooms.

He loved the limelight, and I’m sure he’s going to miss his hell-bent appearances on Newsmax.

If history and my experience are any guide, we may learn later what really pushed this narcissist zealot out. Maybe there’s a scandal we don’t yet know about. Maybe even his allies had grown tired of the chaos. Either way, Walters didn’t leave because he wanted to; I believe he left because he had to.

Regardless, Walters deserves exactly what he’s getting, and I hope that includes obscurity, irrelevance, and a long, silent fade into nothingness.
