Soros-Funded Group Says Covid-19 Crisis Is Perfect Time To ‘Abolish the Family’

“The coronavirus crisis shows it’s time to abolish the family,” according to

openDemocracy, a George Soros-funded non-profit organization, which is attempting to use the pandemic to destroy families, arguing that

“we deserve better than the family. And the time of corona is an excellent time to practice abolishing it.” In an article last week titled, “The coronavirus crisis shows it’s time to abolish the family,” openDemocracy’s Sophie Lewis calls for an end to the traditional family unit, and tries to convince readers that the COVID-19 pandemic is precisely the time to liberate themselves from “the nuclear household.”'''

Lewis claims that too many homes today are “defined by the power asymmetries of housework” and that land ownership, mortgage payments, and “patriarchal parenting” are bad for our health. Lewis goes on to claim that “Queer and feminized people, especially very old and very young ones are definitionally not safe” in such “capitalist home” situations.

WesternJournal report: There are a myriad of other bizarre arguments made in Lewis’ article. Most of them are basically feminist and communist critiques about how the male-headed family is oppressive and that we need a complete overhaul of how we think about economics and the family. Standard stuff for the left, in other words: In socialism, the state always comes before the family. And a look at the funders of openDemocracy, provided by the organization itself, shows Soros’ leftist Open Society Foundations among the top givers, along with other outfits that fund progressive causes like the Ford Foundation. Perhaps the most ridiculous claim marshaled in the essay is when Lewis says, “we deserve better than the family. And the time of corona is an excellent time to practice abolishing it.”

What this Marxist wing-nut at openDemocracy has in mind to replace the family unit isn’t spelled out in any detail, but she does use a lot of impressive-sounding words in explaining what should come next. “Far from a time to acquiesce to ‘family values’ ideology, then, the pandemic is an acutely important time to provision, evacuate and generally empower survivors of – and refugees from – the nuclear household,” she writes. From what I can gather, Lewis seems to want taxpayers to provide blankets and subsidized housing to gender non-conforming trans teens who ran away from home so they can have a judgment-free safe space to hide out at. Or something.

In any case, Lewis complains that “the private family qua mode of social reproduction still, frankly, sucks.” Why does it suck? “It genders, nationalizes and races us. It norms us for productive work. It makes us believe we are ‘individuals.’ It minimizes costs for capital while maximizing human beings’ life-making labor…” and on and on and on. Give me a break. It’s good to know that this wholly unhinged way of thinking won’t be gaining ground anytime soon. Men and women are hard hard-wired by God to find a spouse, start a family, and raise children. In fact, there is anecdotal evidence that suggests the coronavirus is actually bringing families closer together and that communal bonds are strengthening at this time. I can only imagine the examples of love and charity taking place right now are giving folks like Sophie Lewis a massive headache. And that’s a good thing.

Scary isn't it..

Rep. James Clyburn, Who Touted Coronavirus As ‘Tremendous’ Political Opportunity, to Take Helm of Pandemic Oversight Committee

GOP calls Clyburn-led committee redundant

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) announced the formation of a new coronavirus oversight committee led by House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D., S.C.), who last month said the pandemic gives Democrats "a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision." The speaker's announcement on Thursday comes as her caucus plots another relief package, with a national vote-by-mail requirement as a top priority. Pelosi faced criticism in March after stalling the then-proposed stimulus bill in favor of her own version, which included increased fuel emissions standards for airlines, an expansion of wind and solar credits, and vote-by-mail provisions. President Donald Trump called the Democrat's proposal "crazy." Pelosi said Thursday the committee would monitor the billions in federal money spent fighting the virus and would have subpoena power. House Republicans immediately expressed concern over Clyburn's participation, arguing that his March remarks indicate he is looking to use the pandemic as a pretext to advance Democratic policy goals.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) on Thursday said he is concerned by the choice. "[The committee] is concerning to me because Congressman Clyburn is the one who thought this crisis was an opportune time to restructure government," McCarthy said in a conference call with reporters. "That's not what we should be doing." Pelosi said in a Thursday conference call that the committee would ensure the $2 trillion in coronavirus relief is "spent carefully and effectively," but McCarthy indicated that Republicans were given few details on the committee, which will need to be approved by Congress before it is launched. "For that committee to get up and running, it takes a vote of Congress," McCarthy said. "I don't know when we'd go back and vote on this, I don't know what the budget would be, I don't know what the responsibility would be."

Other top House Republicans argued that existing congressional oversight efforts are sufficient and that a new committee will only hamper the federal response to the pandemic. "Our committee has a very rich tradition of both parties doing very effective and aggressive, bipartisan oversight," Rep. Greg Walden (R., Ore.), ranking member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said. "We're already conducting oversight, looking at what's working, what's not, and how we can learn from any mistakes that we made. I think creating yet another committee is a big mistake." He added that the committee "will be costly and cause conflict and delay."

The stimulus package already allocates $45 million toward oversight, with $25 million to establish a special inspector general tasked with tracking the Department of the Treasury's stimulus spending. Another $20 million went to the Government Accountability Office, which will "help Congress conduct oversight of the spending," according to the House Committee on Oversight Reform. Committee chair Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D., N.Y.) praised the bill's oversight provisions, saying they will "ensure that taxpayer dollars are used effectively and efficiently." Pelosi's creation of a new oversight committee may highlight a lack of trust in her members who are already charged with oversight, McCarthy said. "I'm just wondering, does the speaker not trust the Oversight Committee? I know she's got a new chair on that committee, and all the other committees to go through, or committees being created with the last bill itself," McCarthy said. "So it mainly questions, to me, what the speaker is trying to do with that." Clyburn did not respond to request for comment.

Indeed, wonder how much he made in that deal.

How to Get Small Business Coronavirus Loans

NEW YORK (AP) — Millions of small business owners will be turning to the government, seeking help for an individual and nationwide cataclysm, the economic devastation caused by the coronavirus outbreak. The government says it will begin disbursing loan money to company owners and freelancers Friday under the Paycheck Protection Program, part of the $2 trillion relief package signed into law last week. For many companies, it may be the quickest way to rebuild the lifeblood of any business: the cash flow that enables a company to pay its bills. The program could be vital to the economy’s recovery: Small businesses employ about half the workers in the private sector. By some estimates, as many as 20 million people will have lost their jobs by the end of April.

Here are questions and answers about financial help available through the government and other sources.
