'''Peter (Paul Montgomery) Buttigieg ''' (pron. ''Peter Boota-judge''<ref>[https://www.ourcampaigns.com/CandidateDetail.html?CandidateID=242106 Buttigieg, Pete]</ref>) was born January 19, 1982, and is the mayor of South Bend, [[Indiana]] since 2012.<ref>[https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/19/us/pete-buttigieg-fast-facts/index.html] Pete Buttigieg Fast Facts</ref> and a 2020 Democrat Presidential candidate. The son of a a first-generation immigrant from Malta, and Jesuit seminarian turned secular pro-Marxist professor and a scholar of linguistics at Notre Dame, Pete Buttigieg claims to be a Christian while being clearly being critically anti-Christian in much of his life, morals and ideology (see Ideology below). Among many other aspects of such, Buttigieg is an avowed homosexual who is married to a biological male, and who supports abortion on demand as well as many goals of the [[homosexual agenda]].

As the son of a scholar of linguistics, Pete Buttigieg shows that he understands the power of deceptive sophistical propaganda, and frequently uses of the word "security" as a major theme, being mentioned 27 times in his position page, from "climate security" to economic security to security from intimidation under the guise that his policies are virtuous, when in reality such are shown to cause the opposite. Likewise he often employs the term "harm" such as in portraying The [[Religious Freedom Restoration Act]], saying it "appeared to me to be a license to harm others in the name of religion." However, Buttigieg supports punishing those (by supporting the proposed Federal Equality Act) who oppose homosexual relations. He also attacks evangelicals as hypocrites for supporting the Republican party (which he asserts) is contrary to Christian faith, while paradoxically evidently expecting them to (hypocritically) support him.

Despite promoting himself as a Christian, a term which originates in the Bible (Acts 11:27) and which describes their beliefs, Buttigieg openly rejects moral teachings of the Bible that he does not like, dismissing such at will as cultural and not commanded by God, even stating, "Jesus speaks so often in hyperbole and parable, in mysterious code, that in my experience, there’s simply no way that a literal understanding of Scripture can fit into the Bible that I find in my hands.." Buttigieg also argues that human life can be understood as only beginning with the first breath, and misappropriates the Bible by making Christ's words on helping the poor (which often relates to being poor/humble in spirit) as justifying liberal (impoverishing) socialism.<ref>Morris, Alex (November 20, 2019).

African-Americans have been shown to be a socially conservative voting group that will prove difficult for Buttigieg to make inroads with, despite the candidate’s slew of policy proposals aimed at winning them over. ~~“Conventional~~ wisdom suggests that as the primary moves south that the candidates will be faced with more African-American voters who tend to be more socially conservative,” said Jacob Neiheisel, a political science professor at the University of Buffalo. Neiheisel said that African-Americans are largely [[evangelical]] despite being predominantly Democrat which can be a problem for a homosexual candidate such as Buttigieg to gain traction among these voters.<ref>https://www.thestate.com/news/politics-government/article236516903.html</ref>

Tameika Devine told ''The Intercept'' she has yet to endorse any presidential candidate and did not intend her curiosity to be read as an endorsement for Buttigieg.

[[Antonio Gramsci]] was a lieutenant of [[Joseph Stalin]] who headed the [[Italian]] branch of the International Communist movement ([[Comintern]]). After several failed assassination attempts on Mussolini, Gramsci was imprisoned in 1926 until his death in 1937. While in prison Gramsci wrote his ''Prison Notebooks'', speculating on the failure of [[violent]] [[revolution]] to materialize in [[Western Europe]] as [[Karl Marx]] had predicted. Gramsci's works are considered by [[Socialists]] to be foundational to modern [[public education]] and [[Cultural Marxism]].<ref>https://www.jstor.org/stable/23768314?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents</ref><ref>https://www.marxists.org/archive/gramsci/prison_notebooks/problems/education.htm</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdTTr4iYT0M</ref>

Gramsci's theory of "cultural hegemony" states that the ruling capitalist "oppressor" class uses cultural institutions, such as "traditional marriage," to maintain power. The "oppressors" develop a "hegemonic culture" using [[ideology]] unlike Socialists who use [[violence]], economic force, and coercion. "Hegemonic culture" propagates its own values and norms so that they become "[[common sense]]" values and thus maintain the [[status quo]]. According to [[Wikipedia]], this "Hegemonic power is therefore used to maintain consent to the capitalist order, rather than coercive power using force" as Marxism does "to maintain order. This cultural hegemony is produced and reproduced" by the dominant Christian oppressor class "through the institutions that form the superstructure."

South Bend is among the 3% most violent cities in America, and is among the highest 30 cities for top murder rates, and with violent crimes being three times higher than in the rest of Indiana, while property crimes are five times higher.

Nonetheless, as mayor, he received praise from the very liberal ''Washington Post'' (which focused on him being a mayor who while serving six-month deployment to Afghanistan as a naval reservist), for his plan on dealing with 1,000 vacant lots and abandoned buildings in 1,000 days. However, he also faced much criticism for handling a scandal (which developed shortly after his election) regarding illegal recordings by the police department of allegedly racist statements by certain officers against the black police chief, and which ended up involving the FBI. This resulted in an ongoing legal fight that has been the longest-running and most expensive one the city history, costing taxpayers more than $2 million thus far.

The chief's lawyer does not believe Buttigieg's explanation and told the ''New York Times'' that he asked a friend in the U.S. Attorney's office whether Buttigieg's explanation added up. The U.S Attorney's office responded that Buttigieg's explanation "is so contrary to the protocols of U.S. Attorneys’ offices. We never would condition a determination on prosecuting or not prosecuting based on an employment decision."<ref>https://heavy.com/news/2019/04/darryl-boykins/</ref> Buttigieg's truth-telling surrounding the events has been called into question.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2019/06/26/pete-buttigieg-telling-truth-fired-towns-first-black-police-chief/</ref>

In Buttigieg’s first year in office, a pro-life crisis pregnancy center wanted to open next door to [[Ulrich Klopfer]], the only abotionist in South Bend. The pro-life group promised to not allow demonstrators to use their property, but Buttigieg intervened to prevent the rescue center from getting permission to open.<ref>https://www.redstate.com/streiff/2019/09/14/pete-buttigiegs-association-abortionist-stockpiled-baby-corpses-home-hardly-surprising/</ref>

Klopfer was forcibly retired in 2015, and his clinic closed, after it was found he performed abortions on at least two girls under 13 years of age and violated state law by not reporting it. ''The New York Times'' reported that Klopfer was found guilty of five of the nine charges he faced by the Indiana Medical Licensing Board, including failing to report an abortion he performed on a 13-year-old, failing to exercise reasonable care, and violating documentation and notice requirements.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/14/us/dr-ulrich-klopfer-fetal-remains.html</ref> The ''Fort Wayne Journal Gazette'' reported many of the board members were shocked by Klopfer’s attitude regarding the case of a 10-year-old girl who had been raped by her uncle. The doctor failed to notify the police even after learning that the parents were going to keep the matter secret. One board member stated that what bothered her most was Klopfer’s striking lack of medical judgment and competence.

When Klopfer died in 2019, his family found 2,246 corpses of dead babies preserved in jars in his home.

After Klopfer's forced retirement, a Texas based franchise chain with locations in five states moved into South Bend. Whole Woman's Health committed dozens of health and safety violations in three Texas facilities between 2011 and 2017, including the lack of a registered nurse on staff, inadequate sterilization of equipment, and missing [[fentanyl]] stock. The Indiana State Department of Health denied Whole Woman's Health of South Bend's license application due to a lack of "reputable and responsible character."
