“America is back,” proclaimed Biden as he gathered with world leaders earlier this June, at the G7 summit.
French
President Macron rather unsubtly declared that "it’s
great to have a U.S. President who is part of the club and very willing to
cooperate."
If you followed the Democrats in the media and beyond you wouldn’t be blamed for believing that upon occupying the White House, Biden would instantly transform the hell, they claimed that President Trump left behind, into heaven.
A great deal was made about democratic values and dignity for people of color and other minorities
being restored
Biden himself claimed "‘Everybody is entitled to be treated with decency and dignity,”
Then reality hit everybody.
Macron was
among the first to be antagonized. Australia withdrew
from a multi-billion dollar defense deal with France and struck a new defense deal
with the US and UK. Macron was understandably rather livid.
The rest of the promises melted into thin air as Biden waded from one catastrophe to another ruining everything from
the US economy to a relatively peaceful Afghanistan.
What about respecting democratic values?
Parents protesting against their children being indoctrinated
with left-wing propaganda were branded as domestic
terrorists. Political opponents are being imprisoned in solitary
confinement for participating in a protest.
An already obsequious mainstream media was ordered to prostrate
into total submission by covering Biden more favorably.
But this ignominious list of assaults on democracy keeps growing.
The latest victim is Simon Ateba, a White House correspondent
for Today
News Africa, a news organization that covers US-Africa
relations.
A few weeks ago, following the emergence of Omicron, the
Biden Administration imposed a travel ban on eight southern African countries including
South Africa, Botswana; Zimbabwe; Namibia; Lesotho; Eswatini; Mozambique; and
Malawi.
Merely because South African scientists discovered Omicron,
doesn’t mean that the virus originated from that country. As we now know,
Omicron has found its way across the world.
The ban was illogical and unscientific.
If there had to be a ban, it should have been applicable to
all foreign countries.
Simon Ateba rightly challenged White House Press Secretary
Jennifer Psaki about the travel ban and even got into a verbal tussle with her when he suggested
that the ban was racist since the Omicron
variant of COVID-19 has now been confirmed in 57 countries.
For attempting to sow discord in the White House echo chamber also known as press room, a displeased Psaki attempted to move on
to another correspondent in the room but Ateba persisted.

Ateba
continued to interrupt Psaki and other briefing guests
such as His Royal
Highness, Dr. Fauci.
Orwell once said that “speaking the truth in times of
universal deceit is a revolutionary act”
By following the ethics of journalism, holding the powerful
accountable, and persisting until satisfactory explanations were offered, Ateba
was merely doing his job.
But in an era of perpetually slobbering news
media, Ateba's conduct was seen as an act of rebellion.
But there was more to come.
Simon Ateba went on Tucker Carlson Tonight to talk about his
ordeal.
This was obviously too much for Psaki to tolerate. First Ateba
dared to challenge her and King Fauci. Then appeared on TV alongside Tucker
Carlson, who in her mind is the second worst person in the world after
President Trump.
Ateba was punished.
Last Friday, Ateba returned on Tucker Carlson Tonight to
provide detail about his punishment.

"Since I came on your show two weeks ago, I've not been
called on at the White House to ask any questions. I've raised my hand many
times. Some people told me it was a really bad idea to have come on this show
and I shouldn't have come and I don't really know what happened... and I've
come now for a second time."
"We (Today News Africa) rely on subscriptions and
donations. It is expensive to go to the White House and not have any questions
[answered] because of coming on shows or trying to point out that the reason
the Biden administration banned only African nations over the Omicron variant,
it wasn't based on any science. It was based on a lie."
Mr. Ateba has also pointed out that African reporters were not
allowed to ask questions when African leaders visited the White House.
These bans are a frontal assault on the freedom of the press. It
is ironic that this is occurring at the heart of US democracy i.e. the White
House press room in Washington.
If they had any ethics, the entire press would have walked out
and refused to participate in the press briefings until Mr. Ateba was allowed
to speak his mind and challenge the Biden administration's baseless travel ban. They
would have castigated the White House for punishing Ateba merely for appearing
on a show that is critical of the Biden administration.
If they had any morals, the likes of Joy Reid, Al Sharpton, and
BLM, who cannot stop talking about race, would have made a great deal of noise that a person of color is being
silent for challenging the White House’s discriminatory policies against
people of color.
But nothing of a kind happened.
Apart from Fox News, few have covered this disgraceful
ban on Mr. Ateba.
We all know what the reaction would have such actions
been taken by President Trump’s press secretary.
This should come as no surprise since it was founded in 1829,
the Democrats
have had
a history of discrimination against people of color.
The Democrats defended slavery that caused the Civil War. They
founded the Ku Klux Klan. They imposed segregation. They perpetrated lynching,
and they fought against the civil rights acts of the 1960s.
This is systemic racism.
This is a totalitarian cult that only respects those who follow
orders and adhere to groupthink, no dissenters are allowed. If the
dissenter happens to be a person of color, they are the recipients of the most
vicious of racist attacks.
Just recall how conservative African Americans such as Larry
Elder, Candice Owen, Winsome Sears, and Herman Cain have been
treated.
To sum it up the White House seems to have followed the Democrat record of
systemic racism by doing the following:
· Impose
travel ban on countries populated mostly by people of color.
· Silence a
journalist of color for valid questions about the racist travel ban.
· Block African
reporters from asking questions when any African leader visited the White
House.
These are a continuation of the Democrat’s dubious record of systemic bigotry and totalitarianism.
Unfortunately, most African Americans who have been brainwashed to vote
Democrats will never know of this since it is barely covered.
