The ‘‘Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023’’

Sheila Jackson Lee, a Black radical activist Congresswoman from Houston has introduced a bill in the House that would criminalize thought crimes, and in particular it would criminalize sites like The Occidental Observer, but also the much more mainstream Tucker Carlson. This is because it includes “replacement theory” as a possible motivation and would apply to anyone who writes or talks about replacement theory in a public forum so that someone seeing it online could be inspired to commit a crime as a result (say, assaulting an immigrant). In such a case, the writer or talk show personality would be considered a co-conspirator.

This is chilling to say the least and would obviously gut the First Amendment if upheld by the courts. Rep. Lee has denied that the bill would only apply to White people on the ground that, say, a Black person who expresses concern about replacement theory could also be indicted, either as committing the assault or as writing about replacement theory in a way that might motivate a crime. It goes without saying that Democrats (there have been many) who are quite positive about White replacement would not be indicted.

I have been informed by a reliable source that Norman Moon, the judge in the Charlottesville cases, ruled that defendants can be held to have conspired with people they never met and didn’t even know. Since  Moon is a federal judge, his ruling presumably has precedential value. This is astonishing and frightening.

Tucker Carlson has mentioned replacement theory on his show and got in big trouble with the ADL. See: “Tucker Carlson Doubles Down on Replacement, Explicitly Mentions White Replacement, and Targets the ADL’s Hypocrisy(!).” So it’s not surprising that he is furious about the bill. These are excerpts that appear to be from a transcript of his January 17 show:

Sheila Jackson Lee is famous in Washington for being the single most obnoxious member of Congress. Now, that’s a title that, as you can imagine, has many contenders, but Sheila Jackson Lee stands alone. Don’t you know who I am? she once screamed at a flight attendant in the first-class cabin on a Continental flight. I am Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. Where is my seafood meal?

On Capitol Hill, she’s known as the queen and not in a good way, but what’s interesting is that nobody ever talks about the congressional district that Sheila Jackson Lee supposedly represents. It’s mostly inner-city Houston and it could use some help. Lee’s district has a poverty rate almost twice the national average, all the usual markers of civilizational decline—high crime, bad schools, low social cohesion, drugs.

Now, Lee has served in Congress for nearly 30 years, but it’s hard to think of a single thing she has ever done to improve the lives of the people who elected her. She doesn’t seem interested. Instead, Sheila Jackson Lee has devoted her entire political career and her entire life to a single cause-shrieking about White racism. That’s what Sheila Jackson Lee does for a living. Here’s a selection:

JACKSON LEE: Institutional racism and systemic racism taints and spoils the way that America treats in one instance, African Americans and other instances, minorities. 

JACKSON LEE: The dastardly impacts of White nationalism, White supremacy and outright racism. 

JACKSON LEE: Racism is a national security threat.   [continues with more examples] …

Racism, you see, is a national security threat. It’s a national security threat. Really, Sheila Jackson Lee? Tell us how racism is a national security threat. Speak slowly. We’ve got plenty of time, but of course, she won’t do that. She’s got no argument. She’s got no facts. She doesn’t even have a sincere belief in what she’s saying. It’s absurd and she knows it and by the way, Sheila Jackson Lee doesn’t want to protect a country she despises from national security threats. Why would she want to do that?

No, that’s not the point. What she’s doing here every day is leveling a racial attack, a blood libel, against an entire group of Americans while simultaneously pretending to be the victim of attacks from that same group. Stop hitting me, she howls as she punches you in the face. It’s such a common tactic at this point, used constantly by Al Sharpton, by the ADL [again mentioning the ADL; definitely getting over the target], by so many others that you may not even notice it anymore, but it’s still disgusting. It’s still immoral. It’s still divisive. … [quotes the ever-pliable Joe Biden who will say or do anything to keep his career going. Even the Jan. 6 riots was “about White supremacy.”]

Of course, it’s far more than divisive. It’s a harbinger of how White people are going to be treated when they lose power as a result of replacement. Can there be any doubt that activists like Lee and the ADL wouldn’t hesitate to genocide Whites if they had the power to do so—as the Bolsheviks did in the USSR at a time when Jews were a hostile elite? And they’re doing everything they can to get that power. Replacement is a central part of their strategy

Speaking of blood libel, because that’s what it is, protesting the 2020 election result is the same as slavery, as the KKK. It’s the same as murdering Martin Luther King. It’s all White supremacy, declares Joe Biden without defining the term. Now, you may recall when Joe Biden said that. You probably dismissed it at the time as ridiculous, as the rantings of a senile partisan and, of course, that’s what it was, but you should also keep in mind that Joe Biden did not say that by accident. It wasn’t an ad lib, off the cuff. No, his staff signed off on that speech. They wrote it. They read it before he read it.

And they wrote it for a reason. When the president of the United States identifies a threat to this country, his many federal agencies, the biggest in the world, swing into action to neutralize that threat. That’s how the system works, as Joe Biden’s staff well knows. So, in fact, when Joe Biden likens you to al-Qaeda or the Klan, it’s not a small thing at all. It has implications. So, here’s Sheila Jackson Lee from last week in a not unrelated clip calling for the renewal of the Patriot Act. Watch.

JACKSON LEE: I remember after 9/11 when we all worked together to ensure the protection of the American people through the Patriot Act and dealing with the FISA courts. We worked together because truth is important.

Well, it’s kind of strange if you think about it. Why would Sheila Jackson Lee, a self-described liberal, find herself last week praising the secret government courts that liberals once opposed passionately on the grounds that those courts could be used to destroy the constitutional rights of Americans without anyone knowing about it? Secret courts? Liberals were against secret courts and now the chief liberal in Congress is strongly for secret courts. What’s going on here? Why?

Well, because those secret courts turn out to be a highly effective way to silence the critics of the Democratic Party, to silence those so-called White supremacists Joe Biden’s always yelling about, not all of whom, by the way, are White. You don’t have to be White to be a White supremacist. You just have to oppose the agenda and of course, Sheila Jackson Lee knows that very well and that’s why she wants to renew the Patriot Act indefinitely and there are enough dumb Republicans that she may be able to, but Sheila Jackson would like to go a lot further than that. Lee has just introduced a bill called the Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023. …

Now, it’s not an exaggeration to say this single bill would do more to criminalize speech, previously constitutionally guaranteed speech, than any other piece of legislation that has been proposed in the entire history of this country. …

Anything can be White supremacy, but the bill does specifically point to something called replacement theory, White supremacist ideology. If you engage in either one of them, you go to federal prison possibly for a very long time. So, all that’s required under this piece of legislation, which is not being laughed out of Congress yet, all that’s required is that your political opinions “could as determined by a reasonable person, motivate actions by a person predisposed to engaging in a White supremacy inspired hate crime.”

So, what would qualify as a felony under this law? Well, virtually everything, but among them would be pointing out the Democratic Party politicians, including Chuck Schumer, the leading Senate Democrat, have long bragged that they are flooding this country with immigrants in order to change the demography to maintain political power for themselves.

They’ve said that many times. They’ve written it. They bragged about it on camera, but if you notice it under this bill, you would be criminally responsible for the violent acts of people you have never met and you would go to jail for terrorism. Now, what’s most interesting about this bill is that it’s race specific. Nothing in Sheila Jackson Lee’s legislation would apply to, say, Black supremacy or murder sprees by people who aren’t White supremacists, the massacre in Waukesha, for example. So, that means that Democratic Party politicians can continue to say whatever they want with impunity.

The First Amendment still applies to them, but not to anyone who doesn’t vote for them. That’s the definition of tyranny. It’s horrifying. It’s a direct attack on the Bill of Rights, on our core freedoms guaranteed by the U.S. government for 250 years. We shouldn’t be surprised by this, however, because it’s consistent with what Biden has promised, has promised the day he got into office and the promise was that race blind justice, which is the entire foundation of the rule of law in the West, has been for centuries, is done.

The new model? South Africa. That’s the new model. South Africa—a country we never talk about because no one wants to admit what’s happened there over the past 29 years.

Tucker then advocates a color-blind concept of the law but correctly claims that such a conception is alien to the Democrats but that no one on the right has complained about it—which I doubt since I regularly see talking-head conservatives complaining about race-based benefits. And he states that race-based law is “immoral”—a good strategy because White people are particularly prone to act on their moral principles. Obviously there is not even an inkling on the mainstream right that White people should have special rights—as is the case with Jews in Israel.

But the bottom line is that “Democrats, including Sheila Jackson Lee, have decided that their opponents are terrorists and they’re terrorists because of their race and once you’re a terrorist, what do we get to do? We can take all your stuff. We get to seize your assets.” And put you in prison for a very long time.

The fact is that because of replacement, the left has demographics on its side. Does anyone seriously believe that millions of illegals that Mayorkas is letting in will be outraged that their new government allocates benefits to people like them on the basis of their race? Won’t happen.

I don’t seriously think that this bill will be signed into law in this Congress, and the conservative-majority Supreme Court would very likely find it unconstitutional. But one wonders what will happen when—inevitably it would seem, short of a cataclysm—the Democrats regain control of all three branches of government. See you in prison.

The essential parts of the bill:

A conspiracy to engage in white supremacy inspired hate crime shall be determined to exist— (1) between two or more persons engaged in the
planning, development, preparation, or perpetration of a white supremacy inspired hate crime; or (2) between two or more persons—

(A) at least one of whom engaged in the planning, development, preparation, or perpetration of a white supremacy inspired hate
crime; and
(B) at least one of whom published material advancing white supremacy, white supremacist ideology, antagonism based on ‘‘replacement theory’’, or hate speech that vilifies or is otherwise directed against any non-White person or group, and such published material—(i) was published on a social media platform or by other means of publication with the likelihood that it would be viewed by persons who are predisposed to engaging in any action in furtherance of a white supremacy inspired hate crime, or who are
susceptible to being encouraged to engage in actions in furtherance of a white supremacy inspired hate crime;
(ii) could, as determined by a reasonable person, motivate actions by a person predisposed to engaging in a white supremacy inspired hate crime or by a person who is susceptible to being encouraged to engage in actions relating to a white supremacy inspired hate crime; and
(iii) was read, heard, or viewed by a person who engaged in the planning, development, preparation, or perpetration of a white supremacy inspired hate crime. …

Mass shootings and other hate crimes motivated by white supremacy have been increasing in frequency and intensity. These heinous and virulent crimes are inspired by conspiracy theories, blatant bigotry, and mythical falsehoods such as ‘‘replacement theory’’. All instances must be prevented and severe criminal penalties must be applied to their perpetrators.
