‘I don’t believe in welfare’

Nebraska don’t want those fed $$ for food stamps: but, ahh, for this stolen land, Nebraska, more than 2 trillion thrown to corporations as welfare . . . Warren Buffet, ConAgra, Mutual of Omaha, Geico

Ahh, welfare, hmm, for the very very rich and very pretty rich.

Neighboring Iowa is also opting out of the program, with Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds announcing that decision last week and saying, “An EBT card does nothing to promote nutrition at a time when childhood obesity has become an epidemic.”

Oh, the early welfare settler-colonial-murdering cheats: Throughout this early homesteading period, conflicts between native tribes and white settlers set the stage for the final confinement of Indians on reservations. The Pawnee, the Sioux, the Cheyenne, the Omaha … all of the tribes were eventually forced to live on reservations either outside of Nebraska or on small plots of land within the territory. The Omaha, Winnebago and Santee Sioux settled in northeast Nebraska. The Pawnee, Ponca, Cheyenne, Oto and Missouri tribes were all removed to Indian Territory in what is now Oklahoma.

By 1878, the Lakota, Brule and Ogalala Sioux had been moved from their Nebraska agencies to reservations in South Dakota. So, life for the Native American on the Great Plains in the mid to late 1800s was one of increasing conflict with the white man for space, loss of their traditional lands, and the gradual destruction of their way of life.

Nebraska’s Republican governor on Friday reiterated his rejection of $18 million in federal funding to help feed children who might otherwise go hungry while school is out.

Nebraska will not participate in the 2024 Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer for Children — or Summer EBT — program, Gov. Jim Pillen said in a written statement. That statement came as advocates for children and low-income families held a news conference outside the Governor’s Mansion in Lincoln to call on Pillen to change his mind before the Jan. 1 deadline to sign up for the program.

You get it, right, White Man/Woman? You understand, right, Supremacist? Only trillions for the welfare queens of big biz and Fortune 5,000, not kiddos with hourly pay parents. These are, of course, people who have been on the war path for centuries.

Fucking food, man, out of the babes’ mouths.

FILE - OxyContin pills are arranged for a photo, Feb. 19, 2013, at a pharmacy in Montpelier, Vt. In an agreement revealed late Friday, Dec. 29, 2023, consulting firm McKinsey and Co. has agreed to pay $78 million to settle claims from insurers and health care funds that its marketing work with Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin, helped fuel an opioid addiction crisis. (AP Photo/Toby Talbot, File)

Ahh, get those people hooked so they never have to worry about being hungry.

The insurers argued that McKinsey worked with Purdue Pharma – the maker of OxyContin – to create and employ aggressive marketing and sales tactics to overcome doctors’ reservations about the highly addictive drugs. Insurers said that forced them to pay for prescription opioids rather than safer, non-addictive and lower-cost drugs, including over-the-counter pain medication. They also had to pay for the opioid addiction treatment that followed.

From 1999 to 2021, nearly 280,000 people in the U.S. died from overdoses of prescription opioids, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. Insurers argued that McKinsey worked with Purdue Pharma even after the extent of the opioid crisis was apparent.

The settlement is the latest in a years-long effort to hold McKinsey accountable for its role in the opioid epidemic. In February 2021, the company agreed to pay nearly $600 million to U.S. states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories. In September, the company announced a separate, $230 million settlement agreement with school districts and local governments.

When Pete Buttigieg Was One of McKinsey’s ‘Whiz Kids’/ What was Buttigieg doing at McKinsey for two and a half years? How many people had lost their jobs because of him? How shady was the work conveniently hidden behind a standard McKinsey nondisclosure agreement?

After graduating from Harvard and Oxford, Buttigieg went to work at McKinsey from 2007 and was there for about three years until he quit in 2010. While on the campaign trail, he often highlights a lot of parts of his bio, but this isn’t one of them.

Michael Forsythe at the New York Times recently laid out some of the basic things we know about Buttigieg’s time at the firm, including that he spent time in Iraq and Afghanistan for his job and that in his autobiography he says he also worked on “energy efficiency research” for unnamed clients. McKinsey told the Times Buttigieg worked with “several different clients” at the firm but wouldn’t specify the work.

Pete Buttigieg says he worked for McKinsey from “a safe house in Iraq.” Who did he work for? What did he do? How does that work inform his understanding of the region?

These are reasonable questions to ask someone who wants to be president.

We are doing so well with our love of Jew Zelensky and Bibi. ‘Boil water advisory issued for City of Wellington public water supply system.’ Florida Residents Told to Boil Drinking Water out of ‘Abundance of Caution’

“The point here is that the pathogens are going to be there,” Jutla said. “Pathogens are going to be in the water system, but at this point, it is more likely that they will be infectious than not infectious.

“The idea of how the antimicrobial resistance genes are going to be present—they may be transmitted more aggressively during flood events, that is something of a concern and we have no idea how that will happen.”

Boy oh boy, how many hundreds of cities will be in need of a new Pete’s consulting talents to spin death by drinking into assisted humane suicide?

Then this green democratic party bumbling fucking fool: Meet America’s Newest Oil Trader Extraordinaire: Joe Biden. Oil prices have sputtered since the U.S. began selling its stockpiles. Head of state. Commander in chief. Oil-trading whale?

Ahh, that inflation. Food prices doubled (100percent). So, in Oregon, electric rates are going up 18 percent. You know, that Biden-economics of 4 percent Yellen Zionist First Inflation coming from the Wailing Wall White House!

So, another and another schizophrenic story while overdose deaths are skyrocketing and EV charging stations are skyrocketing and while state highway funds are plummenting because of the regressive gas tax revunes plummeting because of EVs, and we have the US’s largest welfare Queen, DoD, looking for more shekels: “One of the great things about EVs is that they can save money. Nobody’s going to save money buying the highest-end EVs, obviously, but we’re to the point where budget EVs have a lower total cost of operation than comparable ICE Vehicles. Why? Because ICE vehicles need refilled with an expensive consumable liquid, while EVs can be recharged using cheap energy that can come from a variety of sources (fossil fuels, nuclear, renewables).

But, militaries around the world are finding that they’ve got an even bigger cost problem that can be fixed by going electric. High-end weapons that protect free people from terror attacks often use a very, very expensive consumable that can’t economically compete with what terror groups are throwing at them. But, going electric can turn this situation around and take the economic advantage away from terrorists.

Oh, those Oppen-Monster-Heimers! Look at here: More baby Pete’s opting out of uniformed disservices — Global War on Terror fatigue? Call up the Jewish State of Jewish Supremacy Israel. They will get the boys and girls on ship and boots on the ground ASAP.

The Ghost of GWOT Haunting the Military Recruiting Crisis

Much has been written about the Defense Department’s flagging efforts to address the growing challenge of military recruitment in recent years. Since 2021—GWOT’s apparent end, bannered by the ignominious withdrawal from Afghanistan—DoD has consistently missed its recruiting goals across its service branches, resulting in the lowest recruiting numbers seen since 1999. It should be noted that, in every era of America’s emergence from conflict, recruiting numbers always shrink amid demobilization. The post-GWOT era, however, carries greater risk than before because of the ghost that hangs over the enterprise.

The Army missed its recruitment goal for 2022 by more than ten thousand, while the Air Force fell short of its goals across active and reserve components by just over two thousand. The Navy was approximately seven thousand recruits short. The Marines and Space Force are by far the smallest service branches with the lowest targets, but the Corps barely met its goal in 2022 while incoming Space Force guardians were short on new officers despite crossover from other services to specific roles and positions. For 2023, signs indicate it will be worse yet in terms of meeting recruitment goals.

Here’s a great marketing lie, the big lie, that the world goes better with Green Pornography — The world’s longest land and subsea interconnector – between the UK and Denmark – started commercial operations today. That’s UK, with a dying health services, flooded metros, food insecurity, love of AzovNaziZioLensky and bombing apartment buildings, but they got the connection, of course, not counting the embodied oil energy to fucking do it!

The new Viking Link electricity interconnector has a capacity of 1.4 gigawatts (GW) and stretches for 475 miles under land and sea. It joins the Bicker Fen substation in Lincolnshire with the Revsing substation in southern Jutland, Denmark.

High wind generation outputs in the UK and Denmark are unlikely to happen simultaneously, so surplus energy will be transmitted through the interconnector to where the level of demand is higher.

The £1.7 billion ($2.16 billion) project is a joint venture between the UK’s National Grid and Danish national transmission system operator Energinet. National Grid says that the world’s longest land and subsea interconnector can transport enough electricity for up to 2.5 million UK homes, bringing over £500 million ($637 million) of cumulative savings for UK consumers over the next decade, thanks to cheaper imported power from Denmark.

Initially, Viking Link will be operating at a capacity of 800 megawatts (MW) before increasing over time to 1.4 GW over the coming year.

In its first year of operation, Viking Link is expected to save around 600,000 tonnes of carbon emissions – equivalent to taking roughly 280,000 cars off the road.

"Here's a complementary approach to help feed people ..."

From one Mengel-Goebbels-Bernays-Blinken Nazi lie, to the next: Yeah, what could go wrong here!

Scientists have just genetically modified cherry tomatoes to make them easier to grow, and the future applications could include making them more viable for indoor farming and even space travel, their creators say.

The scientists, working out of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, used a gene-editing technology called CRISPR to make changes to three key genes within the cherry tomatoes’ DNA. Two of those genes are responsible for when the plant stops growing and starts flowering and fruiting. The third controls the length of the plant’s stem.

The end result is a more compact cherry tomato plant that grows in clusters, like grapes, and also more quickly than unmodified cherry tomatoes, in only around 40 days. These changes make the tomatoes easier to grow in smaller, controlled spaces, like indoor farms, urban rooftop farms, and even spaceships. The scientists published their results in a paper in Nature Biotechnology.Scientists have just genetically modified cherry tomatoes to make them easier to grow, and the future applications could include making them more viable for indoor farming and even space travel, their creators say.

Creators. I like that, no, Oppen-Monster-Heimers as CREATORS.

Bill Maher identifies as a rationalist and has criticized religious fundamentalism and creationism for misrepresenting science. He also has rejected climate denial as unscientific. So it’s disheartening to see him deny the scientific consensus to advocate for his animal-rights beliefs.

Finally, the supremacist above, the multimillionaire Jewish racist (three air sickness bags needed just to listen to his bigoted monologues) gets it sort of right, like that proverbial broken clock, and then, pow, media scum, PR stenographers for the corporations, go after him. I have taught college so long that in 1983 and 1993 and 2003, students actually found great articles on vivisection and the overuse of animals in horrific experiments. Now? Main-scum media goes after Maher for what?

Bill Maher recently called the National Institute of Health “medieval barbers,” funding “pointless” testing on animals. In the past, he has urged his audience to “listen to PETA” (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).

As host of the HBO show “Real Time with Bill Maher,” he has a responsibility to avoid misrepresenting scientific research to his audience.

His unscientific views aren’t just fringe. Polls reveal that support for the use of animals in science has steadily declined. But as expected, those with scientific knowledge are more supportive of animal research.

Smithfield-Circle-Four-Farms-piglets-pigs-factory-pig-aminal-cruelty-abuse-05-1506966739

Glen Greenwald to the rescue! The FBI’s Hunt for Two Missing Piglets Reveals the Federal Cover-Up of Barbaric Factory Farms: Systematic abuse of animals lies at the heart of U.S. industrial farms, which are protected by the government. Despite a crackdown on activists, the public is seeing the barbarism.

At Smithfield, like most industrial pig farms, the abuse and torture primarily comes not from rogue employees violating company procedures. Instead, the cruelty is inherent in the procedures themselves. One of the most heinous industry-wide practices is one that DxE activists encountered in abundance at Circle Four: gestational crating.

Where that technique is usedOpens in a new tab, pigs are placed in a crate made of iron bars that is the exact length and width of their bodies, so they can do nothing for their entire lives but stand on a concrete floor, never turn around, never see any outdoors, never even see their tails, never move more than an inch. That was the condition in which the activists found the rotting piglet corpses and the two ailing piglets they rescued.Female pigs give birth in this condition. They are put in so-called farrowing crates when they give birth, and their piglets run underneath them to suckle and are often trampled to death. The sows are bred repeatedly this way until their fertility declines, at which point they are slaughtered and turned into meat.

The pigs are so desperate to get out of their crates that they often spend weeks trying to bite through the iron bars until their gums gush blood, bash their heads against the walls, and suffer a disease in which their organs end up mangledOpens in a new tab in the wrong places, from the sheer physical trauma of trying to escape from a tiny space or from acute anxiety (called “organ torsion”).

So cruel is the practice that in 2014, Canada effectively banned its usageOpens in a new tab, as the European Union had done two years earlierOpens in a new tab. Nine U.S. states, most of which host very few farms, have banned gestational cratingOpens in a new tab (in 2014, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, with his eye on the GOP primary in farm-friendly Iowa, vetoed a billOpens in a new tab that would have made his state the 10th).

But in the U.S. states where factory farms actually thrive, these devices continue to be widely used, which means a vast majority of pigs in the U.S. are subjected to them. The suffering, pain, and death these crates routinely cause were in ample evidence at Smithfield Foods, as accounts, photos, and videos from DxE demonstrate.

Herr Fauci, man. The NIH funded to the tune of $1.8m – saw 44 beagle puppies undergo a ‘cordectomy,’ which saw their vocal cords cut to stop them barking.

That experiment, which took place in Menlo Park, California, saw the dogs then pumped full of drugs, before being killed and dissected.

NOTE: Amazing how we can’t get our shit together — dirty water, addiction, no food for kiddos, 200 percent inflation, no health care, shit jobs, broken minds — but we can help shit holes like Ukraine and Israel stir up some deadly shit in those occupied lands.

Duh!

Oh, so, how many Jewish people do you know who fully support the end of Israel? Is that Country Called a Jewish Army up against the whole world? Being called into the world court for genocide prosecution by South Africa and then the Jewish State of Jewish Israel is actually revoking visas for ‘UN people’ because the whole UN is against it.

Chant, now: “Everybody’s against us. Everybody’s anti-Semitic.”

Syllogistic reasoning — if the entire world is anti-Semitic, maybe it’s because these guys and gals and LGBTQA+ pink washers are doing something immorally wrong . . .

And, committing genocide is even in this slippery slope, lobotomized, Goyim-Gullible, shifting baseline diseased world DOING something wrong.

Israel and U$AmeriKKK-Israel First is calling into question any concept of international law, because Israel/Most Jews and the United States are simply flouting the principle of law. Barbaric the Jews of Jewish State of Israel ARE. Worse than dog-eat-dog fucking mentality.

It’s the fucking Blinken-Hillary-Biden-Obama Libya Principle — Antony is a fucking war criminal of the highest order: Blinken supported the 2011 military intervention in Libya and the supply of weapons to Syrian terrorist rebels.

Blinken’s a Monster

Military aid to the occupier’s might,
Bread to the occupied, a soft plight.
Monstrous intentions, veiled in the night,
A dance with darkness, a twisted light.

Phosphorus bombs fall, a sinister sky,
Aid in the darkness, where innocence cries.
Children, babies, women, caught in the storm,
A land divided, hope takes a different form.

Conscience, shame, elusive they seem,
8000 kids, 6000 women, a haunting dream.
The problem persists, the monsters decide,
Ceasefires vetoed, innocence denied.

75 years have come and gone, and there is a nation still deprived of its land and of its most fundamental rights. Still occupied, oppressed, killed. Our people have outlasted the massacres before and will outlast them again, but those killed will not be brought back to life, those scarred will never truly heal. The impact of the Israeli massacres in Gaza will be felt for decades to come, for the Palestinian people who bear the wounds in their flesh, but also in our region and across the world. And if hope is not restored and freedom does not prevail, no one can predict the next chapter of this tragedy but everyone knows it will be worst.

As the world welcomes a new year, the massacres in Palestine continue, the injustice continues, the suffering continues. How many Palestinian generations will have to suffer before finally being able to live in freedom and dignity and peace in our ancestral land? We want to stop seeing our Nakba grow, and finally be able to see our children grow. — Palestinian Ambassador Majed Bamya: “What Do You Say on Behalf of a People Enduring Genocide?”

Talk about Jewish Values — Killing the Messenger!

And, alas, old thinker Ralph has another guest on his show attempting to cover up the huge success of Judaism funding the Army with an Occupied Country, Israel. It is absurd. Zionism is Judaism, of another mother or father.

Forwarded this email?

Ralph welcomes Rev. Dr. Donald Wagner, National Program Director of Friends of Sabeel—North America, to discuss the ongoing violence in Palestine, the influence that Christian Zionists have on America’s Israel policy, and the religious organizations that have refused to collaborate with Israel’s modern-day Crusader State.

Rev. Dr. Donald Wagner recently retired as the National Program Director of Friends of Sabeel—North America, a nonprofit Christian ecumenical organization seeking justice and peace in the Holy Land through education, advocacy, and nonviolent action. Prior to that position, Rev. Dr. Wagner was a professor of Middle Eastern Studies at North Park University (Chicago) where he also directed the Center for Middle Eastern Studies. He has written several books, including Anxious for Armageddon: a Critique of Christian Zionism; Dying in the Land of Promise: Palestine and Palestinian Christianity from Pentecost-2000; Glory to God in the Lowest: Journeys to an Unholy Land.

I believe Netanyahu’s endgame is to force the Palestinians out, kill as many as possible. and then expel them into Gaza. Avi Dichter, who is a cabinet member, said, “We are rolling out the Gaza Nakba”. [The Nakba was the] 1948-49 ethnic cleansing operation. So it’s clear what they’re doing, and the Biden administration has rehabilitated a criminal in Netanyahu and enabled all this to happen.

—Rev. Dr. Donald Wagner

One of the few things that gives me hope after working on this issue for 45 years is the power of the young American Jewish and global Jewish activists. They’re not buying the Netanyahu line. They range from being embarrassed to just angry about what Netanyahu, the A.D.L., and A.I.P.A.C have done to Judaism in blending it with Zionism. So these are the prophetic movements that are taking us back to authentic Judaism and the Torah, which is based on justice—tikkun olam [which means] healing of the world. — Rev. Dr. Donald Wagner

Clarence Thomas is really the Donald Trump of the Supreme Court. I think they are reaching a point—the six-justice majority— of getting a huge backlash… I dont call for impeachment of Justices very easily. But when in case after case these Justices come down on the side of artificial entities called corporations—which are never mentioned in the Constitution— against real human beings—whether they’re workers, or victims of different oppressions, or looted consumers… that is a severe ground for collective impeachment proceedings before the U.S. Senate. — Ralph Nader

This bullshit Christian Zionism has ZERO to do with the freaks, the fundementalists, the end times pukes, the Christian Sicarios having anything to do with Jewish Death vis-a-vis Israel!

The Israeli military is notorious for deliberately targeting and murdering children. Chris Hedges wrote about that in his famous article “A Gaza Diary” from 22 years ago. He described how he had been in war zones and witnessed atrocities before, but until he went to Gaza, he had never seen soldiers barking out obscene insults over their bullhorns in order to lure Palestinian children within range of their gun sights so that they could be shot for sport. And he witnessed that happen to several Palestinian children. It’s a common occurrence. The sport of shooting children is a regular part of what the Israeli Defense Forces do. And they never face any kind of justice. Because it’s open season on Palestinian childfen.

The Israeli Defense Forces hand out t-shirts that say, “one shot, two kills,” and they show a pregnant Palestinian woman with a target on her belly.

This is fucking 22 years ago, when everything was A-Okay with Funding Everything Jewish, Everything Israel, Everything Pink and Wadi Valley Washing.

“Come on, dogs,” the voice booms in Arabic.
“Where are all the dogs of Khan Younis?
Come! Come!”
I stand up. I walk outside the hut. The invective from the Israeli soldier continues to spew:
“Son of a bitch!”
“Son of a whore!”
“Your mother’s a cunt!”

The boys dart in small packs up the sloping dunes to the electric fence that separates the camp from the Jewish settlement. They lob rocks toward two armored jeeps parked on top of the dune and mounted with loudspeakers. Three ambulances line the road below the dunes in anticipation of what is to come.

A percussion grenade explodes. The boys, most no more than ten or eleven years old, scatter, running clumsily across the heavy sand. They descend out of sight behind a sandbank in front of me. There are no sounds of gunfire. The soldiers shoot with silencers. The bullets from the M-16 rifles tumble end over end through the children’s slight bodies. Later, in the hospital, I will see the destruction: the stomachs ripped out, the gaping holes in limbs and torsos. (source)

A Gaza Dairy, of course, lambasted by the Jews in USA and Israel and Harper’s had to (sic) in their fucking dimwit wisdom denigrate the realities Hedges wrote about. Here, read it in full:

Gaza Diary, Hedges: Monday afternoon, June 18, Khan Younis

Fahdi Abu Ammouna, thirteen, lies on a bed in the al-Amal Hospital, his feet propped up on a pillow. Dried blood covers the sheets. He says that some of his rocks hit the army jeep, though I doubt he or any of his friends could throw that far past the electric fence.

“The soldier said over the loudspeaker that those who wanted to live should run,” he says, “and those who wanted to die should stay. Then they swore at us. They said everyone who lives in Khan Younis is a dog. I started to run. I was shot. I never heard any shots. The bullet went through both of my legs. I crawled to the ambulance. It was the first time I went.”

His mother, seated next to him and wearing a black head scarf, slowly shakes her head.

“He goes every day,” she says softly. “I sent my older son to bring him home. And he was not home five minutes before he went back. I tell the boys it is useless, throwing stones and becoming a martyr will not make the Israeli leave. My sister has lost a son. My brother has lost a son. One of my uncles was killed and a cousin is dead. I tell them to look at the history of our struggle. All these deaths achieve nothing.”

She begins to talk about the first uprising, which led to the Oslo peace agreement. Her husband, Samir, stands in a blue shirt, white pants, and sandals at the end of the bed. He was a prisoner then in Israel. One morning Israeli soldiers burst into her two-room house in the refugee camp while she was baking bread. Her son was six months old. They turned the place upside down and threw the boy on the stove. He was severely burned. As she speaks she gently places her fingers on his small arm, now hooked up to an intravenous tube.

Before we leave, we visit the office of Dr. Mahmoud al-Madhoun, the hospital’s director. He hands us plastic bags filled with bullet fragments he has taken out of his patients. All have the dates, the types of wounds, and the names of the victims printed neatly on the outside. Of the 1,206 killed and wounded, he says, 655 were under the age of eighteen. He cannot understand why soldiers would fire at children.

“In thirty years of practice,” he says, “I have never treated a treated a patient who died after being hit by a rock.”

Press Release

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine welcomes South Africa’s filing of a lawsuit at the International Court of Justice against the Zionist entity for committing the crime of genocide and calls on everyone to follow this step to prosecute the leaders of the occupation and all those who colluded with them.

The Popular Front for the liberation of Palestine (PFLP) welcomed South Africa’s submission of a request to the International Court of Justice to institute a case against the Zionist entity for committing acts of genocide against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

The front praised the advanced positions taken by South Africa since the beginning of the aggression, whether through its political and diplomatic steps or its broad popular movement, stressing the need for these positions to be emulated by all countries of the world that stand by our people to denounce the war of Zionist genocide and take different positions from the countries involved and partners with the entity in these crimes.

The front concluded on the importance of South Africa’s step to put an end to the Zionist genocide crimes against civilians, health facilities, services and infrastructure, in order to prosecute the leaders of the Zionist occupation as war criminals in international courts for their unprecedented crimes and massacres, stressing the need for this trial to include all the leaders of countries that provided protection and cover for the Zionist entity, and supported it with money, weapons and political cover.

Jewish Zionism is Nazism — Palestinization of the World (i.e. pacification, lobotomizing, circumcising, denaturizing): Stay Woke, sisters, brothers!

Aerial Occupation and Aerial Forensics in Gaza | Global Challenges

So the Europeans created the world’s monster: Jewish values in Israel and outside — M.I.S.S.I.L.E. system: Military, Internal Security, Surveillance, Intelligence, and Law Enforcement. And it markets and sells its products and services as having been field-tested in Palestine.

Israel is revered precisely for its mastery of population–control techniques against the Palestinians, which many leaders want to emulate against dissident or minority groups within their own borders.

Baltimore law enforcement officials, along with hundreds of others from Florida , New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, Arizona, Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Georgia, Washington state as well as the DC Capitol police have all traveled to Israel for training. Thousands of others have received training from Israeli officials here in the U.S.

Many of these trips are taxpayer funded while others are privately funded. Since 2002, the Anti-Defamation League, the American Jewish Committee’s Project Interchange and the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs have paid for police chiefs, assistant chiefs and captains to train in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT).

These trainings put Baltimore police and other U.S. law enforcement employees in the hands of military, security and police systems that have racked up documented human rights violations for years. Amnesty International, other human rights organizations and even the U.S. Department of Statehave cited Israeli police for carrying out extrajudicial executions and other unlawful killings, using ill treatment and torture(even against children), suppression of freedom of expression/association including through government surveillance, and excessive use of force against peaceful protesters.

Are you, reader, not yet “woke” on how deadly Judaism is, since Judaism is defined mostly by Israel, Israel-First, Israel-Forever mentality. Biden can call himself a “zionist”, but he is proud of a Jewish son-in-law doctor and the fact his daughters converted (sic) and now he has Jewish grandkiddos. It’s got ZERO to do with ZIONISM.

Fucking stay WOKE to the Zionist-Israeli-Jewish Palestinization of us all: The idea behind it was common within Black communities at that point — the notion that staying “woke” and alert to the deceptions of other people was a basic survival tactic. But in 2014, following the police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, “stay woke” suddenly became the cautionary watchword of Black Lives Matter activists on the streets, used in a chilling and specific context: keeping watch for police brutality and unjust police tactics.

Yes, Woke, we all should be . . . [and forget Norman Finkelstein and his “take” on woke culture. He’s another know it all, you know what, who doesn’t know!]

Wokeness evolved around the idea of Black consciousness “waking up” to a new reality or activist framework and dates back to the early 20th century. In 1923, a collection of aphorisms and ideas by the Jamaican philosopher and social activist Marcus Garvey included the summons “Wake up Ethiopia! Wake up Africa!” as a call to global Black citizens to become more socially and politically conscious. A few years later, the phrase “stay woke” turned up as part of a spoken afterword in the 1938 song “Scottsboro Boys,” a protest song by Blues musician Huddie Ledbetter, a.k.a. Lead Belly. The song describes the 1931 saga of a group of nine Black teenagers in Scottsboro, Arkansas, who were accused of raping two white women.

I am a revolutionary, a Cuban-Iranian-Venezuelan-Nicaraguan-Palestinian-Yemeni-First Nations-Indigenous Believer, in my heart, but fuck no, I am tired of the Wailing Wall White House scum — even midgets like Yellen (monster) — telling me, a non Jew, non Zionist, non Judaic, non Israeli, non supporter of that religion, especially Orthodox and Secular versions of Judaism, to pony up tens of thousands of dollars or more in my lifetime to pay for these criminals.

Part of Israel’s ace in the hole, according to Jeff Halper, is its development of a formidable weapons industry that allows it to supply high-tech weapons to countries around the world for the purpose of population control.

Israel is at the cutting edge in the development of surveillance satellites, weaponized and surveillance drones, Artificial Intelligence (AI) target identification systems, spyware gadgets and crowd control and cyberwarfare technologies, which it sells around the world.

Statement: The brutal Israeli offensive is not merely an act of sheer vengeance against Hamas, but a genocidal campaign aimed at nothing less than displacing the people of Gaza so as to perpetuate its colonization of the entirety of Palestine. It is a campaign to liquidate any form of resistance. Israel has opposed any attempt to reach a just, inclusive and democratic settlement between our peoples. It has only endeavored, systematically and relentlessly, to extend its regime of apartheid from the River to the Sea.

The Palestinians have never been at war with Jews; they have been resisting a unilateral settler colonial project whose declared aim is the take-over of their homeland, the transformation of Palestine into Israel and the erasure of the Palestinian people, its culture and heritage. As in the liberation struggle of other colonized peoples, Palestinians have been forced by Zionism/Israel to fight for their national rights and freedom.

We, the peoples of the world, must speak out now in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza. Let’s not forget, however, Palestinians throughout historic Palestine who at this moment are also facing ethnic cleansing and ruthless repression; 50 Palestinians have been killed, many by settlers, in the past week alone.

Most urgently, we must appeal in our masses to our governments, complicit as they are in these crimes against humanity:

STOP THE ISRAELI GROUND ATTACK ON GAZA!
STOP THE EXPULSION OF THE GAZANS, THE SECOND NAKBA!
BRING IN IMMEDIATE HUMANITARIAN AID!
END ISRAELI COLONIZATION & APARTHEID!
FOR PALESTINIAN FREEDOM! FOR A DEMOCRATIC STATE FOR ALL!

That nuclear terror state, Israel:

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz quoted the response of his lawyer, Avigdor Feldman, to this latest move by the Israeli state as

“a record low … in its persecution and abuse of Mordechai Vanunu … I’m ashamed, and whoever filed this indictment should be even more ashamed.”

Feldman said the charges are being made in preparation for Vanunu’s latest attempt to challenge an international travel ban, which expired recently but was extended by a temporary court order.

This latest development (May 2016) is illustrative of a pattern of persecution Vanunu has faced since he was released from prison 12 years ago after serving an 18-year sentence for disclosing information on Israel’s secret nuclear capacity in 1986. Since his release from prison in 2004, Vanunu and his lawyers have fought without success to end a series of cruel and unnecessary restrictions which prevent him from leaving Israel, communicating with foreigners – including journalists – without the prior agreement of the authorities, entering or approaching foreign embassies, and participating in internet chats, and which require that he notify the police if he moves residence.

Israel is revered precisely for its mastery of population-control techniques against the Palestinians, which many leaders want to emulate against dissident or minority groups within their own borders.

Part of Israel’s ace in the hole, according to Halper, is its development of a formidable weapons industry that allows it to supply high-tech weapons to countries around the world for the purpose of population control.

A REAL CEASEFIRE IS NOT THE END, IT IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

A ceasefire will NOT:

Eradicate Hamas
Bring about a just peace for Palestinians and Israelis
Completely isolate extremist Israelis seeking to take advantage of the current “opportunity” to get rid of more Palestinians and grab more Palestinian land
Repatriate all hostages/detainees (And no, it’s highly unlikely that the atrocities we’re witnessing against the people of Gaza did anything to incentivize the release of hostages we’ve seen, as some are now trying to claim. Part of Hamas strategy from day one was to draw Israel into this precise scenario. Even if there were a world in which what we are witnessing is somehow moral or legal, which it is not, arguments that it is effective are specious at best.)
Hold anyone accountable for the vile war crimes we have witnessed on 10/7—or before, or after.
Put the lid on out-of-control antisemitism, Islamophobia and rampant anti-Palestinianism (which is a rarely named driver of horrific violence against Palestinians everywhere—after all, if we’re not seen as humans, why should we have human rights? The horrific shooting of 3 Palestinian students in Vermont today is an example of this terror here at home, in of course to decades of rampant, unchecked violence against millions of civilians there.)
Chart a clear and dignified path forward for millions of suffering Gazans, who have been brutalized non-stop for 7 weeks (many if not most of whom have now have no home to return to.)
Ensure Palestinian or Israeli security for the long term. A credible political process—which today is admittedly beyond difficult to imagine—would be needed for that.

But, more importantly, a ceasefire WILL:

CONTAIN HISTORIC ATROCITIES. The last weeks in Gaza have seen more than 130 children killed per day. This is a daily death rate 10s-100s of times greater than for conflicts like Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq! More ordinance has been dropped many WEEKS since 10/7 in Gaza, one of the most densely populated areas on earth, than in Afghanistan in our heaviest YEAR of bombardment. A true ceasefire allows opportunity to prevent a historic horror from becoming even exponentially more horrific.
ALLOW A GREATER CHANCE FOR A RETURN OF ALL HOSTAGES, AND MORE PALESTINIAN DETAINEES: These negotiated exchanges are reuniting families. Despite the massive military assault on Gaza, only one Israeli hostage has been freed as a result of a military operation. No Palestinian detainees have been released this way (and, yes, hundreds of Palestinians, including hundreds of children, are often arrested and held indefinitely, without charge, or for minor charges like participating in a “political” gathering of more than 10 people, or posting messages on social media sympathetic to Palestinian suffering in Gaza.) Bringing people home safely, where they should be, will be best accomplished by a prolonged #ceasefirenow. (Remember, a ceasefire is an agreement by two parties to stop firing—and there are terms to that agreement, just like the current truce, which of course would include a return of hostages.)
PROVIDE A POSSIBILITY TO AVERT INTENSIFIED REGIONAL AND GLOBAL CRISES: The danger of this moment is that the pyromaniacs are in power. Netanyahu and those to the right of them saw Hamas rule in Gaza as a strategic ASSET. They supported Hamas—so they could divide and conquer Palestinians for Israeli extremists who want to take as much Palestinian land as possible with as few Palestinians as possible. They see this as opportunity—especially in and around Jerusalem. If this gets to Jerusalem in a big way, religion will be drawn in as an explicit driver and this will be nearly impossible to contain. This was obviously part of Hamas’ intent. Today, there is an unholy intersection of interests that want expanded conflict, including some in the Israeli cabinet who (a) want to deflect attention from their massive failure on 10/7 and (b) have ulterior motives which have for decades included getting more Palestinian land in the West Bank and Jerusalem. #Ceasefirenow allows the opportunity to put the brakes on their apocalyptic visions. This could not be more urgent.
MAKE SPACE TO CREATE AN INTERNATIONAL RESPONSE THAT WILL ACTUALLY MAKE EVERYONE SAFER: After 9/11, it took weeks before the first attack took place on Afghanistan. The U.S. didn’t invade Iraq until 2003. We made disastrous decisions. But even those were done with deliberation. Israel didn’t just respond to the ongoing threat from Hamas. But immediately undertook a scorched earth policy, within just hours of the initial attack. It fails the straight face test to imagine that immediately after a surprise attack, for which Israel had almost no intelligence, Israel was able to develop a plan to target Hamas infrastructure and leaders within HOURS. If the #ceasefire is extended, an approach that will actually protect Israeli and Palestinian security, hold all perpetrators accountable for war crimes, and finally point us to a peaceful and just resolution of the conflict can be developed. That includes actually confronting Hamas—and other extremists. There may not yet exist a clear strategy on how to do that, but the current approach is a textbook case on how NOT to do that. In fact, it’s a text book example of how to strengthen Hamas and similar ideologies. The current approach isn’t just producing unimaginable horrors; it is undermining global security for years to come. A true #ceasefire will take the matches out of the hands of pyromaniacs and allow for the development of policy that can actually rise to this moment.

Failing to extend the ceasefire WILL:

Result in even more massive human suffering, the level of which the world has rarely witnessed. (You will see these events commemorated for GENERATIONS to come.)
Endanger captive hostages.
Risk even more significant escalation in Jerusalem, the West Bank and thus regionally and perhaps even globally.
Play into the hands of regional powers and indeed China and Russia, who have not hid their glee at the U.S.’ ownership over Israel’s extreme response. (This means we’re now already in a multi-polar world, which marks a much less stable world generally and a much more dangerous world for Americans. A #ceasefirenow might allow for some corrective work.)
Fan the flames of extremism regionally and globally. Hamas’ leadership might be defeated. But its ideology will grow. Israeli extremists will gain more power and may in fact succeed with some of their stated goals of getting rid of Palestinians from Gaza and parts of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Meanwhile, anti-Palestinianism, antisemitism and Islamophobia will only escalate in ways that will be ever harder to meaningfully combat.
Make it more difficult to attend to the needs of millions of civilians in Gaza, who already have nowhere to go.
Further divide our communities here at home, making an already polarized nation a much more unstable—and dangerous—place.

Vox = Although “woke” as a watchword was the term’s earliest known usage, it took on three primary contexts within Black communities during the 20th century: 1) slang for being literally awake; 2) slang for being suspicious of a cheating romantic partner; and 3) the original, politically charged usage of always being on the lookout for systemic injustice. In a 2017 interview with OkayPlayer, funk singer Georgia Anne Muldrow describes first hearing the term used by ’60s jazz musicians in its most literal context — as in, slang for not falling asleep.

Muldrow carried “stay woke” forward in a crucial way: She wrote and recorded an unreleased version of a song called “Master Teacher” with the refrain “I’d stay woke,” in reference to the ’60s jazz musicians of yore. Muldrow’s usage inadvertently contributed to the term’s political meaning getting a boost when, in 2008, R&B artist Erykah Badu released an updated version of “Master Teacher” on her politically themed album New Amerykah Part One (4th World War).

Even if yo baby ain’t got no money
To support ya baby, I stay woke
Even when the preacher tell you some lies
And cheatin’ on ya mama, you stay woke
Even though you go through struggle and strife
To keep a healthy life, I stay woke …
I have longed to stay awake
A beautiful world I’m trying to find

History is mor than just repeating itself. Think of every pollutant, every synergistic effect, every GMO, every mRNA jab, every dozen jabs/vaccines in baby boy/girl.

Children, man, America of Amnesia: Psychologists call it the dark triad: an intersection of three of the most malevolent tendencies of human nature – psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism.

But the truth goes deeper, and darker. There’s also egoism, sadism, spitefulness, and more. And behind this rogues gallery of all our worst inclinations on the surface, a central, common core of human darkness lies, researchers say.

“We’ve called the county, we’ve called the state, we’ve called the water master, we’ve talked to a lawyer, we’ve just tried to push this in any direction we can to get the state to enforce the regulations that need to be done so that there’s clean water,” Jennifer Lynch told KPTV on Wednesday.

Now here’s a hero few know.

Dr. Gordon Warme, an older man, on a black background, with blue painted scribbles lighting up his legs

Gordon Warme, MD, died in June 2023, at 90 years old. He had practised psychiatry for many years in Toronto after receiving formal psychiatric training in Topeka, Kansas at the Menninger Clinic. By the seventies, he had returned to Toronto, taking a position at the child and family psychiatry department at the institution known today as the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). After many years there, he set up a private practice and taught psychiatry at the University of Toronto. In 2017, he wrote a Mad in America blog, “What if the Folly Is in Us, Too?” and also appeared on a podcast where he was interviewed by James Moore.

[…]

From his writing and appearances on television, Warme focused on the cultural role that shamans, witch doctors, and placebo cures played in medicine. As incisive as he was in alluding to the idea that some of his colleagues were fools, I believe he did so in the service of his patients. There was no placating of mysterious mental illnesses or giving trivial advice. Instead, he was interested in tackling problems and prompting his patients to examine themselves closely, to break out of old habits.

Bishop William Barber, 60, told CNN he tried to use the special chair he brought in the disabled section of the Greenville, North Carolina theater on Tuesday afternoon and was told by staff he couldn't do that.

Drinking fountain and chairs not for colored people? 2023? Fuck:

In video of the incident shared by Barber with CNN, the chair appears to be a stool-type chair with a backrest and no arms. Barber has a form of arthritis known as ankylosing spondylitis, which causes inflammation in the joints and ligaments of the spine, according to the National Institutes of Health.

“I’ve used this chair everywhere,” Barber said. “Broadway, the White House, I’ve never had a problem,” he added.

The Greenville Police Department confirmed officers arrived at the AMC Fire Tower 12 after receiving a call for trespassing. Officers said the caller stated a customer was arguing with employees and the employees wanted the customer removed.

[…]

A civil rights leader says he was kicked out of a North Carolina movie theater while attempting to see “The Color Purple” for trying to use his own chair in the disabled section.

Bishop William Barber, 60, said he tried to use the special chair he brought in the disabled section of the Greenville theater on Tuesday afternoon and was told by staff he couldn’t do that.

The former NAACP North Carolina chapter president told CNN he has a medical condition that makes it impossible to sit in a regular chair. He said he walks with two canes and his assistant carries a special chair everywhere he goes.

“Most people’s retirement savings just don’t cover more than a year or two in assisted living or a nursing home,” said Josh Gordon, the director of health policy for the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. “Our health care is so much more expensive than every other developed country.”

He said that in many cases, people spend essentially all of their savings and then finally on Medicaid. Single people generally have to be down to their last $2,000 in assets to be eligible.

For all but the very rich, “that will probably be taken up by health care costs if you include nursing home care, home and community-based services, assisted living or the more informal caring arrangements that people have,” Gordon said. “Is that really a generational transfer?”

Schizoids, USA, Capitalists. Right, so, electricity is emissions free, and the USA is benevolent:

“The continental shelf is the extension of a country’s land territory under the sea. Like other countries, the United States has rights under international law to conserve and manage the resources and vital habitats on and under its ECS,” the State Department said in its Dec. 19 announcement.

Under international law, countries have the right to claim sovereignty over areas of the ocean that lie beyond the 200-mile limit, as long as those areas are physically connected to underwater shelves that extend from continental masses. Sovereignty includes control over resource development.

But for the U.S., there is a catch: The U.S. Senate has not ratified the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the treaty under which such claims are adjudicated.

…thus the dream of oranges in Southern Cal and verdent monocrops in the Imperial Valley, all the doings of the hoarders, the takers . . . Captain Powell knew the jig was up!

Powell’s map of the “Arid Region of the United States,” which he presented to the U.S. Senate in 1890, offered a radical new vision of the American West centered on watersheds rather than on traditional political boundaries.

The Visionary John Wesley Powell Had a Plan for Developing the West, But Nobody Listened

He told them all too rightly that the West offered not enough water to reclaim by irrigation more than a tiny fraction of its land. Their dreams of a verdant West needed to be tempered and shaped to reality. Powell might as well have told them the Earth was flat. The senators were outraged.

He had brought a map to explain—one of the profoundest such documents ever created in American history. The “Arid Region of the United States” features the western half of the United States, the territory carved up in a jigsaw-puzzle riot of color. Shapes of various sizes, some half the size of states, are colored in oranges, greens, blues, reds, yellows and pinks. It’s a visually stunning.

At first glance, one is captivated purely by its aesthetic. But the significance of a well-designed map—as this one certainly is—comes from the powerful perspective it imparts. Contained within such maps lie reams of fact, conclusions and assumptions, which can often persuade its viewers to confront new, sometimes revolutionary, ways of taking in the world.

Powell’s map, assembled under his direction by USGS cartographers, reveals the western half of America separated into watersheds, the natural land basins through which water flows. Each patch represents a watershed—a hydrographic basin—where all rainfall drains into a common outlet.

Powell understood that a mountain ridgeline determined the flow of water into larger rivers and finally into the sea. Two drops of rain hitting the ground only inches apart along the Continental Divide, which runs along the crest of the Rockies, could travel far different directions. One raindrop might eventually reach the Pacific, while the other could flow into the Atlantic or Arctic oceans.

This marked the first time that a map had been used to visualize a complex intersection of geographical factors—integrating water and land into a nuanced understanding of the Earth’s surface. It was the country’s first ecological map, building on, but pushing far beyond, earlier efforts that century.

Yeah, who’s listening?

I stumbled upon yet another childish, infantile, less-than-weak-nursery rhyme flick on Nut-Fux, Flicks, Flix, whatever the outfit is called.

Oh, so some impossible machine sucks the life out of you — you can sell five years of your life, so a “match” can pay for those five years, or in the case of the protagonist, his wife gets 40 years sucked out because she owes the bank for a fancy apartment mortgage in Berlin.

The rich get to pay for extra time on earth (the machine sucks up the whatever DNA and then it is put into the recepient and that person does reverse aging while the dupe gets rapid aging parallel to the years taken.

Incarcerating people simply because they cannot afford to pay their legal debts not only is unconstitutional but it has a devastating impact upon men and women, whose only crime is that they are poor. The sad truth is that debtors’ prisons are flourishing today, more than two decades after the Supreme Court prohibited imprisoning those who are too poor to pay their legal debts.

One expert estimates that “60 percent” of Latin American children who set to cross the border alone or with smugglers “have been caught by the cartels and are being abused in child pornography or drug trafficking.”

How Biden’s border policies will increase sex trafficking of children to US: She admitted she fleeced the first son for nearly $US20,000 ($30,000) during her relationship with him from 2018 to 2019. This was the same period of time Hunter Biden was notoriously polishing his credentials as an international powerbroker and raking in millions for himself and his family.

“He was like a dog that I dragged and led on,” Kennedy, 35, told a researcher from the non-profit investigative organisation Marco Polo in a stunning text exchange obtained by The Post.

“I just led him on and played with him like a walking ATM. I had a few guys like Hunter who I would lead on and take tips and shopping from and leave them ‘hanging.’ It’s part of the stripper gig. Get all you can out of these idiots and move on.”

Kennedy’s remarks come just days after Hunter Biden’s business partner Devon Archer offered testimony to the House Oversight Committee, revealing that Joe Biden phoned into meetings with business associates on at least 20 occasions. Both Hunter Biden and Archer served on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, whose CEO, Mykola Zlochevsky, also allegedly compared Hunter Biden to a dog.

One man's mission to rescue child sex-trafficking victims - CBS News

Tim Ballard has one mission: to track down child traffickers. Four months ago Colombian authorities asked him to investigate a tip that children were being sold there as sex slaves.

American Tim Ballard helped authorities in Colombia bust a major sex-trafficking ring, saving 54 children.

“Within a half hour this individual walks up to me asking me what I’m here for, what I want and within minutes he tells me that I have kids here as young as 11 years old,” Ballard says.

A former Homeland Security agent, Ballard now heads up Operation Underground Railroad, a non-profit group that rescues trafficked kids. After that first meeting, the Colombians asked him to put together a sting.

Trafficking bust reveals worries over missing kids:

FBI: 168 kids rescued, 281 pimps nabbed in sex-trafficking crackdown
FBI: 16 juveniles recovered in Super Bowl prostitution sting

Operation Underground Railroad spent months planning — renting a house, rigging it with hidden cameras to document the crime, coordinating with Colombian authorities and negotiating with the traffickers.

Epstein was accused of sexually assaulting countless teenage girls, some of them as young as 14 years old, according to prosecutors. Epstein allegedly exploited a vast network of underage girls for him and his wealthy clients to have sex with at his homes in Manhattan; Palm Beach, Florida; and his private island near St. Thomas. He was also accused of utilizing a network of employees to ensure continued access to victims.

In June, JPMorgan Chase reached a $290 million settlement with victims of Epstein over claims the bank overlooked the financier’s sex trafficking and abuse because it wanted to profit from a banking relationship with him.

Modern slavery is hidden in plain sight and is deeply intertwined with life in every corner of the world.

Each day, people are tricked, coerced, or forced into exploitative situations that they cannot refuse or leave. Each day, we buy the products or use the services they have been forced to make or offer without realising the hidden human cost.

An estimated 50 million people were living in modern slavery on any given day in 2021, an increase of 10 million people since 2016.

The plot of the film is loosely based on a real-life case in Kano, Nigeria involving antibacterial testing by Pfizer on small children. The film’s title derives from Justin’s gentle but diligent attention to his plants, a recurring background theme that informs his patience and persistence.

That grand experiment on us all: On the mRNA vaccines’ pathways for damage: Overview of the last year’s research on etiological mechanisms

In other words, we’re getting into the territory of the psychology of the “big lie” here.

The epistemic conditions are such that the very abundance of evidence makes it very difficult to accept the conclusion. Not least given the Nobel award, the situation is one where the average person, without delving into the data, and without a strong, epistemic anchoring of his or her own, would generally be less rational to accept the conclusion indicated by the evidence.

And this is precisely why I think we now need to compile these comprehensive overviews of etiological mechanisms, and connect them to the epidemiological data as clearly as possible, to provide a stable and accessible foundation for the proper assessment of the effects of these products.

William M Briggs – if you’re reading this, perhaps you could be persuaded to give us a follow-up overview pertaining to the possible questions we could ask ourselves regarding connections between these mechanisms and the epidemiological data.

Instead, however, we dole out the Nobel Prize in support of big pharma’s marketing campaigns. We awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine for a product that certainly did vastly more harm than good – something which was obvious and easy to ascertain more than two years ago.

Would it really have been so difficult for the committee to perhaps research one or two of these modalities for potential harm before deciding to place their royal acclamation on an obviously unsafe experimental therapy whose long-term consequences are just beginning to show?

All of this should obviously have been stopped as soon as we had minute indications of serious adverse events in the pharmacovigilance data, and the presence of several plausible mechanisms of harm should be the end of the discussion.

But perhaps they really are that incompetent.

Perhaps Rintrah’s outlook is in this case correct. That these are not serious people, that “it’s like they’re not really trying to think, but rather, they’re trying to gather the words they like and then they try to find some sort of rhetorical string to tie them all together with.”

And journalists. All the papers are now yellow papers, it seems. Journalists are the group of people tasked with doing this sort of investigative work and sticking their necks out. Instead, we find them uncritially fawning over the Nobel Prize recipients, musing on the crucial role played by Xerox machines in bringing these brilliant geniuses together so that countless millions of lives could be saved, as they lambast actual, critical research as “conspiracy theory”.

And all the while, excess deaths remain high all over the world throughout 2023. (shadowrunners)

The Jerry Colangelo Museum at Grand Canyon University is seen at at dusk in Phoenix

The Federal Trade Commission on Wednesday announced it has sued Grand Canyon University (GCU), becoming the second agency under the Biden administration to take action against the largest Christian school in the nation within the past few months in what the university says is a coordinated attack by multiple agencies against the institution.

The FTC said in a press release it filed suit in federal court against GCU, its marketer Grand Canyon Education, Inc. and its president and CEO Brian Mueller, claiming the defendants used deceptive advertising and engaged in illegal telemarketing.

The complaint says the Arizona-based school misled prospective doctoral students about the amount of time it would take to finish its accelerated program, deceptively marketed the school as a nonprofit, and illegally called prospective students who submitted their contact information on the school’s website but requested not to be contacted.

addicted to oil, war, shame, fear, bravado, violence, hate, chaos, isolation, bombs bursting in air!!!!!!!!!

Here, over at Caitlin’s sub-stack-show: How The Hell Did We Get Here?

My cry from the hell-hole that is USA:

Billions of people (several) just want clean air, clean water, clean soil, food, good roofs over their heads, culture, family, and in most cases, ‘it takes a village to raise a family” ethos.

Now, the Oppen-Monster-Heimers of the world, the dirty war lords and the takers, well, they are small in number but they have advanced banks, land, real estate, and armies to protect their perversions.

Read Ishmael:

Culture is a mother everywhere and at every time, because culture is inherently a nurturer—the nurturer of human societies and lifestyles. Among Leaver peoples, Mother Culture explains and preserves a lifestyle that is healthy and self-sustaining. Among Taker peoples she explains and preserves a lifestyle that has proven to be unhealthy and self-destructive.

If culture is a mother among the Alawa of Australia and the Bushmen of Africa and the Kayapo of Brazil, then why wouldn’t she be a mother among the Takers? (To confirm the notion that “culture is a mother everywhere,” check foreign language dictionaries for the word CULTURE. In languages that recognize “masculine” and “feminine” nouns—French, Italian, Latin, and so on—the noun CULTURE is invariably feminine.)

+–+

More, from Ishmael: “My son sent me a book called Ishmael, written by philosopher Daniel Quinn. He said, “This book changed the way I think about life.” A profound statement like that cannot be ignored so I read this book.

The premise of the book is that there are two kinds of people in the world: Takers and Leavers. Leavers represent man before the agricultural revolution, for the most part, although there are still some Leavers in the world today. Takers represent those who change the earth for their purposes. Most of our culture is now Takers — which defines most of us by default because our culture is embedded in the way we approach life. And we are embedded in that culture and have, most likely, never thought of a different way.

Takers generally take what they want or need regardless of the consequences to the earth or even other people groups. Takers take more than what they need, kill animals or even humans who get in their way or encroach upon what they want for themselves. Takers disrupt the natural order of things — damming up rivers, cutting through forests, and flooding valleys to create what they want.

I’m sure it’s not hard to identify who the Takers and Leavers have been throughout modern history. I’m sure you can call to mind recent examples.

Leavers usually only ask to be left alone, for Takers to leave them as they found them and for them to be able to live their lives in Leaver fashion. Takers, by nature or choice, can’t seem to stop taking.”

+–+

Now? We are sheeple. Badges and proof of humanity and life put into our culture by the rotten takers, the software application and AI-MR-VR-AR body snatchers. Small in number, but we are all now on the fucking net, with these dumb phones, and applications for every goddamned waking and sleeping head twitch, blink, step, defecation, thought, movement, bite, yawn, REM, hope, dream, fear.

Keep up the great thought experiments, Caitlin. It staves off insanity.

Jeano Writes Jeano’s Substack

Nicely done. These are wonderfully subversive thoughts. One I’ll add is that Winona La duke says that her people have a concept that would help the US agent better. The concept is Enough. I have enough, I am enough, you are enough, there is enough.

I just can’t let the “enough” statement stand. Of course, I practice that every day, for more than 30 years. I was a stereo and camera and fish tank and scuba buff, but I dumped that addiction for new and bigger stuff a long time ago.

Coke? Yep, that is the fun little doozy that keeps the brain wanting more. But the cocaine of the baby crib is even worse — fetal to craddle to K12 to college to death?

Ahh, the old cooked up syrup, that High Fructose Corn Syrup, and all those additives, those artificial flavors, all those conctions of salt-sugar-fat-spice to keep the brain wanting more and more.

The concept of fast food and TV dinners and boxed items in the grocery store is to keep them coming back. You can’t blame the one year old wanting Lucky Charms and a big gulp Pepsi and a Happy Meal.

So, when you think you have had enought, the old serotonin reuptake is all messed up and tells the gut and the gut tells the brain — MORE MORE MORE.

It’s nice to have personal trainers and life coaches and yogis and Baja retreats and all sorts of Gabor Mate wisdom, but capitalism is inflammatory, is designed before the Satanic Edward Bernays to bring in a sucker born every nano-second.

Not the kiddos fault. Not the fetuses fault.

Enough is enough will not cut it, so sorry to say. You want the baby and body snatchers and gene hackers and mind melders out of the picture? You think Johnny and Jane and Juan and Maria can just say — “No more” — when they are 18 months, 2 years, 10 years?

They — the dirty lizard overlords — have cooked it all up. Figured out what the eye time and scrolling habits of Homo Consumopethicus are when marketing the filth and lobotomizing junk of dumb phones, Chromebooks, Netflix, and on and on.

Enough means excising the cancers. Chemo-therapy. Physical scalpelling out. Irradiating.

Every rotten billionaire, their family, their friends, their accountants, their lawyers, their legions of tens of millions of Eichmann’s, well, you think telling them “enough enough enough” will cut it?

Winona LaDuke, yes, I spent time with her. I get that, for sure, in Spokane, her father, Sun Bear, all of that.

March 04, 2007 — “Grain of Truth”

You probably remember Winona LaDuke as the two-time Green Party vice presidential candidate, running with Ralph Nader in 2000 and 2004. You probably didn’t know that she’s an enrolled member of the Anishinaabeg Tribe from the White Earth Reservation in Minnesota, where she’s locked in another tough battle — this time against huge multinational corporations that want to change her tribe’s traditional way of life.

At three engagements in Spokane last week, and in some private interviews, LaDuke talked about the need to defend native peoples’ rights to the Earth. And this epic debate can fit into a single grain of wild rice — the Manoominike-Giizis strain, or the “wild rice moon” grown by her people for many generations.

This small grain of plant life serves as a microcosm of the entire sustainability challenge we all face: making sure future generations — all peoples and all species — will have a planet worth living on with ecosystems and resources to achieve spiritual and material prosperity.

LaDuke has proven to be so much more than a media darling — she’s a spiritual guide for her tribe and for the thousands she’s come across along her journey. Mixing humor with a shaman’s intensity, LaDuke has written books like All Our Relations and Recovering the Sacred.

LaDuke sees the Minnesota reservations’ practice of harvesting wild rice as vital:

“The wild rice harvest of the Anishinaabeg not only feeds the body, it feeds the soul, continuing a tradition which is generations old for these people of the lakes and rivers of the north.”

It struck me last week while spending time with LaDuke that her tribe’s battle to keep their wild rice wild, free from genetic manipulation, is a much more far-reaching illustration of what sustainability activists consider the struggle of our times: How to create an America that respects the land.

Many of us think along systemic lines, attempting to understand the steps the globe probably has to take to solve the collapsing systems, both environmental and societal. Yet we need reminding that this struggle to work with a burgeoning global human population — 9 billion by 2050 at the current 1.2 percent growth rate — needs nudging from storytellers like LaDuke.

Her struggle — our struggle — is tied to the biodiversity of wild rice, a sacred food. There are more than 60,000 acres of natural wild rice growing throughout the lakes and rivers of her tribal lands. But there are troubling parallels drawn to what’s happened to the sacred corn of Mesoamerica at the hands of the agri-business multinationals, where corn has been patented, controlled and even turned into what some call Frankenfood.

Domestication and genetic modification of wild rice threatens the genetic integrity of this plant. For more than 30 years, plant breeders have developed wild rice for commercial paddies. So today, most of the wild rice on the market comes from these paddies, almost 70 percent of it from California. “Millions of pounds of California wild rice comes into [Minnesota] to be processed,” says LaDuke, “some of that rice, if genetically engineered, would irreversibly contaminate our manoomin.”

LaDuke’s tenacity in understanding the sacred and reclaiming the wholeness of her people’s food is a valuable lesson for our times. She’s up against the juggernaut of Monsanto and Dupont, the largest seed companies in the world. Monsanto has spent $8 billion in the last few years buying up United States seed companies, while Dupont purchased Pioneer, the second largest seed company in the world.

“This concentration of control over world seed stocks is alarming to farmers on a worldwide scale, especially considering that the closer seeds seem to be held, the fewer there are.”

LaDuke puts all of our struggles into a feedback loop, connecting wild rice in Minnesota to sustainability in Spokane with the goal of creating a more independent, safe and stable food supply. “However you cut the statistics,” LaDuke says, “from the villages of India to the villages of northern Minnesota, there is a marked loss in worldwide biodiversity, and a closer hold on who controls the remaining seeds of the world.”

This issue of control took me back 32 years, to the time I was a newspaper reporter in the middle of a struggle for the soul of a mountain.

Environmentalists were trying to stop my school, the University of Arizona, from building roads and locating a large mirror telescope on Mount Graham, a 10,000-foot sky island sticking out of the Sonora Desert. Mount Graham was named after a white man who rode through the area many years ago, a Colonel James Graham, but for generations the San Carlos Apaches had referred to the entire range as “Pinaleno,” meaning “many deer.” It’s the holiest place for the Apaches, who acquire the power to become medicine men and women through singing and collecting herbs and water on that mountain.

Despite the importance and traditional use of the place, roads were cut and the telescope went up. LaDuke and I talked about that struggle, and she shared many similar struggles currently unfolding in Indian Country and elsewhere.

LaDuke’s power is in her ability to unearth the history of Native people’s struggles — and how that history is relevant today. There has been a lost connection between how the land should be used and how it actually is used — from wild rice in Minnesota to telescopes in Arizona. Reconnecting with the land is another step in the process, as her book puts it, of reclaiming the sacred.

Ideology and hubris, not very distant cousins to one another, have been evident features of U.S. foreign policy for may years. This year put us on notice that they now rule without challenge. A frightened elite lacking in all vision can neither find its way out of the messes it has made nor retreat to allow voices to those with dynamic perspectives nor restore the moral superiority it has squandered—such as this last may have been.

And as it is abroad, so it is at home. As I have heard over various dinner tables lately, the 2024 elections are very likely to prove a pandemonium. Can they be otherwise, given the rule of law may have so little to do with how they are conducted?

We’ve known this shit for a decade or more, yet, oh yet the politicians (prostitutes) and the pimps (lobbyists) pedal the crack cocaine of the billionaire class (sic): Diets high in high fructose corn syrup may indirectly contribute to opioid dependence, according to research presented this week at Neuroscience 2017, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience.

Previous research has shown that high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) impacts the brain in a way similar to addictive drugs. It triggers a response in the brain’s reward system circuitry that leads to continued cravings, in much the same way as a narcotic. These similarities have led researchers to wonder whether diets high in HFCS may play a role in opioid dependence.

You know junk food doesn’t make you feel your best, but why is it so hard to quit?

“This gets into the wonderful world of the science of food,” Shayna Komar, a licensed and registered dietitian at Thomas F. Chapman Family Cancer Wellness at Piedmont, shares about the truth about processed food and why it’s so hard to stop with just one serving.

“Processed foods are mainly salt, sugar, fat and preservatives — all of which create a combination of different sensations in your mouth. Your brain is involved as well. Foods that rapidly vanish or ‘melt in your mouth’ signal to your brain that you’re not eating as much as you actually are. In other words, these foods literally tell your brain that you’re not full and you need more of the food. It sounds so good, but actually, you are not fueling your body, but burdening it to work very hard to metabolize junk food.”

It is also important to know that food companies invest a lot of time, money and resources into creating products that keep you coming back for more.

“Food companies will spend millions of dollars to discover the most satisfying level of crunch in potato chips and their scientists will test for the perfect amount of fizzle in a soda,” she says. “Don’t get caught in their traps.”

Video game addiction is closely related to internet addiction disorder (IAD), which was first investigated by the psychologist Dr. Kimberly S. Young, who published the original diagnostic criteria for this mental health condition in 1998. The American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5-TR in APA) has formally labeled internet gaming disorder as an addiction, and this finding has also been included in the latest addition of diseases reported on by the World Health Organization (International Classification of Diseases, ICD-11). There is widespread consensus from both researchers and clinicians that the problematic and compulsive overuse of the internet, digital media, and video games has been rising over the past two decades, and that the prevalence of this behavioral addiction is associated with a variety of emotional, physical, interpersonal, and professional problems.

Perhaps most significantly, the dopamine releases triggered by video game addiction have been shown to cause structural changes in the brain very similar to the changes experienced in people with alcohol or drug addictions. These changes lead to impairments in our decision-making, reasoning, reward expectation, executive function, cognitive function, emotional processing, and our working memory. A variety of studies have shown that access to television and video games decreases the amount of pain medication needed by hospital patients.

“If they’re interested in flying and they see this game the Air Force has … if I find a 15-year-old kid that’s just brilliant, I’ll probably send a message to that IP address saying, ‘Go tell your mom and dad that you are special and that I will offer you a $100,000 signing bonus and I will send you to Harvard for four years for free,’ ” Kwast told reporters during a breakfast Thursday in Washington, D.C.

Employers sometimes check credit to get insight into a potential hire, including signs of financial distress that might indicate risk of theft or fraud. They don’t get your credit score, but instead see a modified version of your credit report.

Employer credit checks are more likely for jobs that involve a security clearance or access to money, sensitive consumer data or confidential company information. Such checks may also be done by your current employer before a promotion.

Pre-employment drug tests are required by some employers as a condition of job offers.
• These tests typically screen for the presence amphetamines, marijuana, cocaine, opiates, and phencyclidine, but employers can also request testing for additional substances.
• Pre-employment drug tests help protect workplace safety and boost productivity while reducing accidents and turnover.
• Testing methods can include urine, saliva, hair, and blood, but urine is the most common.
• Most employers in regulated industries are required to perform pre-employment drug tests. Private-sector, non-regulated employers are not required to conduct pre-employment drug tests but can do so as long as they comply with state and local laws.

Keystroke technology is a software that tracks and collects data on employees’ computer use. It tracks each and every keystroke an employee types on their computer and is one of a few tools companies have to more closely monitor exactly how staff spend the hours they are expected to work.

Newer features allow administrators to also take occasional screenshots of employees’ screens.

One firm providing the tools is Interguard, which uses software allows administrators to view logs of employee computer use data, including desktop screenshots of employee activity. It also alerts administrators when certain employees’ computer activity diverts from their normal patterns.

It's Time to End Forced Arbitration Completely | The Nation

What is forced arbitration?

In forced arbitration, a company requires a consumer or employee to submit any dispute that may arise to binding arbitration as a condition of employment or buying a product or service. The employee or consumer is required to waive their right to sue, to participate in a class action lawsuit, or to appeal. Forced arbitration is mandatory, the arbitrator’s decision is binding, and the results are not public.

As more and more workplaces return to work in the next few months, these social distancing monitors are likely to become a minor boom industry of their own: Bloomberg News has reported that Ford planned to enforce social distancing by having its workers wear RFID wristbands, developed by Radiant RFID, that would buzz when a worker got too close to a colleague and would also provide supervisors with alerts about employees who were congregating together in larger groups. Another company, Guard RFID, published a blog post detailing how its technology could be used for “infection control in the workplace,” including through the use of wearable RFID tags that would “alarm when tagged individuals come within close proximity to each other.” (Guard RFID and Radiant both declined to comment on their ventures into social distancing solutions.)

“A lot of tracking of workers happens under the rubric of worker safety or ensuring that workers are not injuring or hurting themselves,” she said. “But the boundaries between that and using the data in ways that are punitive or negative are hard to establish.”

RFID Personnel Tracking: Know Where They are and When They're Working - Weldon, Williams and Lick, Inc.

A Wisconsin company is offering to implant tiny radio-frequency chips in its employees – and it says they are lining up for the technology.

The idea is a controversial one, confronting issues at the intersection of ethics and technology by essentially turning bodies into bar codes. Three Square Market, also called 32M, says it is the first U.S. company to provide the technology to its employees.

The company manufactures self-service “micro markets” for office break rooms. It said in a press release that obtaining a chip is optional, but expects that about 50 employees will take part.

CEO Todd Westby said that the company believes the technology will soon be ubiquitous:

“We foresee the use of RFID technology to drive everything from making purchases in our office break room market, opening doors, use of copy machines, logging into our office computers, unlocking phones, sharing business cards, storing medical/health information, and used as payment at other RFID terminals. Eventually, this technology will become standardized allowing you to use this as your passport, public transit, all purchasing opportunities, etc.”

The state laws on social media passwords are intended to protect social media pages that applicants have chosen to keep private.

However, employers still need to follow other employment rules.

An employer who looks at an applicant’s Facebook page or other social media posts could well learn information that it isn’t entitled to have or consider during the hiring process. This can lead to illegal discrimination claims. For example, your posts or page might reveal your sexual orientation, disclose that you are pregnant, or espouse your religious views. Because this type of information is off limits in the hiring process, an employer that discovers it online and uses it as a basis for hiring decisions could face a discrimination lawsuit.

Your Free Speech Rights (Mostly) Don’t Apply At Work

A noncompete agreement is a contract that an employer can use to prevent employees from taking certain jobs with competitors after they leave the company. Sometimes, an employer can make signing a non-compete agreement a condition of employment. These contracts benefit a company by preventing former employees from using trade secrets to give another company a competitive advantage or starting a company that competes with a former employer.

A noncompete agreement can also be referred to as a covenant not to compete, a noncompete covenant, a noncompete clause, or simply a noncompete.

The Man With the Stolen Name: They know what he did. They just don’t know who he is.

“John Doe,” of Owego, New York, was sentenced today to 57 months in prison for aggravated identity theft and misuse of a social security number. Doe used the name, social security number and date of birth of a homeless U.S. Army veteran to fraudulently obtain $249,811.93 in Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits and an additional $588,645.85 in state benefits. Doe’s true identity has yet to be confirmed.

The announcement was made by United States Attorney Carla B. Freedman and Gail. S. Ennis, Inspector General for the Social Security Administration (SSA).

United States Attorney Carla B. Freedman stated: “We don’t yet know the defendant’s name, but we know what he did. Today’s sentence justly punishes him for stealing the identity of a homeless veteran to fraudulently obtain hundreds of thousands of dollars in government benefits. Thanks to the collaborative efforts of local, state and federal investigators, we were able to bring John Doe to justice in spite of not knowing his true identity.”

SSA Inspector General Gail S. Ennis stated: “This individual stole the identity of a U.S. Army veteran to fraudulently obtain Supplemental Security Income benefits, a critical safety net for those in need. This sentence holds him accountable for his unlawful actions. My office will continue to pursue those who steal another person’s identity and misuse a social security number for personal gain. I appreciate the work of our law enforcement partners in this complex investigation and I thank Assistant U.S. Attorneys Adrian S. LaRochelle and Michael Gadarian for prosecuting this case.”

Doe was found guilty following a 4-day trial in May 2022. The evidence established that from approximately 1999 until June 2021, Doe received SSI benefits under the name, date of birth, and Social Security number of a homeless U.S. Army veteran living in North Carolina. When Doe’s use of the veteran’s identity was ultimately discovered and Doe was questioned by federal agents, Doe continued to falsely claim the identity as his own and provided agents with a photocopy of the victim’s birth certificate and Social Security card, claiming these documents were his own. Agents located the veteran and established through fingerprint and DNA analysis that Doe is not the person he claims to be.

United States District Judge Mae A. D’Agostino also ordered Doe to serve a 3-year term of supervised release following his release from prison and ordered Doe to pay a total $838,457.78 in restitution in connection with the benefits he unlawfully received under the victim’s name.

This case was investigated by the Social Security Administration Office of the Inspector General, the Tioga County Sheriff’s Office, the Tioga County Department of Social Services, and the New York State Police, with assistance provided by the U.S. Marshals Service. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Adrian S. LaRochelle and Michael D. Gadarian.

Are We All Witnesses?

WE ARE WITNESSES — The American criminal justice system consists of 2.2 million people behind bars, plus tens of millions of family members, corrections and police officers, parolees, victims of crime, judges, prosecutors and defenders. In We Are Witnesses, we hear their stories.

Early one summer morning, Son Yo Auer, a Burger King employee in Richmond Hill, Georgia, found a naked man lying unconscious in front of the restaurant’s dumpsters. It was before dawn, but the man was sweating and sunburned. Fire ants crawled across his body, and a hot red rash flecked his skin. Auer screamed and ran inside. By the time police arrived, the man was awake, but confused. An officer filed an incident report indicating that a “vagrant” had been found “sleeping,” and an ambulance took him to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Savannah, where he was admitted on August 31, 2004, under the name “Burger King Doe.”

Other than the rash, and cataracts that had left him nearly blind, Burger King Doe showed no sign of physical injury. He appeared to be a healthy white man in his middle fifties. His vitals were good. His blood tested negative for drugs and alcohol. His lab results were, a doctor wrote on his chart, “surprisingly within normal limits.” A long, unwashed beard and dirty fingernails suggested he had been living rough. But the only physical signs of previous trauma were three small depressions on his skull and some scars on his neck and his left arm.

We live in an age of extraordinary surveillance and documentation. The government’s capacity to keep tabs on us—and our capacity to keep tabs on each other—is unmatched in human history. Big Data, NSA wiretapping, social media, camera phones, credit scores, criminal records, drones—we watch and watch, and record our every move. And yet here was a man who appeared to exist outside all that, someone who had escaped the modern age’s matrix of observation. His condition—blind, nameless, amnesiac—seemed fictitious, the kind of allegorical affliction that might befall a character in Saramago or Borges. Even if he was lying about his memory loss, there was no official record of his existence. He lived on the margins, beyond the boundaries mapped by the surveillance state. And because we choose not to look at individuals on the margins, it is still possible for them to disappear.

…yet the monster Jew in Ukraine and the monsters called Jewish Ethno-Supremacist Jews of Jewish Occupied Palestine, they get blank checks, and much much more!

There is NO real LEARNING going on — a picture is worth 80 million K12 dunces:

This is the value of AmeriKKKa — can’t fucking pay folk trying to keep their substitute teacher credentials!

“Schools spent little of $19 million from state on substitute teacher training”

When Debbie Fery started hearing this year from substitute teachers who had not been paid for time spent taking mandatory trainings, it felt personal.

Fery, treasurer and chair of government affairs for the Oregon Substitute Teachers Association, and a substitute teacher herself, took her own fight to get paid for a required safety training to the state’s Bureau of Labor and Industry back in 2020.

“It’s like no one respects us enough to pay for it,” she said.

All teachers are required to take certain training courses, some each year, and most full-time teachers take the classes during the week before school starts when they’re technically back on the clock. But substitute teachers often have to complete the training when they’re not on the clock.

Many of the courses that districts require substitute teachers to take – on things like cybersecurity, federal academic and health privacy laws and what to do in the event of a school shooting – take no more than a few hours online, and by law, districts must pay substitute teachers for their time. But Fery said many aren’t doing so and that state money set aside for this since 2022 has gone unused.

District officials told the Capital Chronicle that’s because they didn’t need the money.

Fery settled her claim of wage theft with the Willamette Education Service District, 16 of the 21 districts it encompasses and the substitute teacher staffing company Edustaff, all of which had told her they didn’t owe her money for the time she spent taking the online courses in 2018, 2019 and 2020.

That “blue” state, right.

+—+

This is a typical show that would not only be banned from k12, but in many higher ed institutions. George is spot on here, again, nothing the average fucking Blue State or Red State human stain — I call Homo Consumopethicus or Retailopethicus Homo, but now, the groveling species: Groveling for Jewish God. Homo Sapiens-Grovelpethicus.

LINK.

So, the Jewish Ethno-Supremacy Jewish State of Jewish Occupied Palestine is looking for African and Latin American countries to “take” the Gazans, all of Palestinians.

Divided? Voters in the USA are Zombies, or 41 percent do not vote in the POTUS feces show consistently. So which scum bucket will the Homo Sapiens-Grovelpethicus populating the land of Chaos-Terror-Usury-Hell-Theft?

Gaza health ministry releases detailed list of 7,000 victims

Nine House Democrats voted against a resolution Wednesday that expressed support for Israel and condemned militant group Hamas’s attack against the country earlier this month. In a 412-10-6 vote, the House chamber voiced strong support for Israel.

Oh, these folk are still supporting the Jewish Monster in his Meatgrinder, for sure, ZioAzovNaziLensky.

But again, these shows are BANNED in schools.

And schools are being reinvented by the outfit funded by that dirty Scotsman, Andy Carnegie. . . . Here, that dirty Carnegie outfit: What Changes to the U.S. Education System Are Needed to Support Long-Term Success for All Americans?

That piece of human stain, Carnegie: The Homestead Strike was ended after the Carnegie Steel Company asked Pennsylvania Governor Robert Emory Pattison for help and he responded by sending in 8,500 soldiers of the state National Guard. The plant was turned over to the militiamen on July 12, 1892.

Steelworkers posing for photo in three levels

The 1892 Homestead strike in Pennsylvania and the ensuing bloody battle instigated by the steel plant’s management remain a transformational moment in U.S. history, leaving scars that have never fully healed after five generations.

The skilled workers at the steel mills in Homestead, seven miles southeast of downtown Pittsburgh, were members of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers who had bargained exceptionally good wages and work rules. Homestead’s management, with millionaire Andrew Carnegie as owner, was determined to lower its costs of production by breaking the union.

Carnegie Steel Co. was making massive profits—a record $4.5 million just before the 1892 confrontation, which led Carnegie himself to exclaim,

“Was there ever such a business!”

But he and his chairman, Henry Frick, were furious workers had a voice with the union.

“The mills have never been able to turn out the product they should, owing to being held back by the Amalgamated men,” Frick complained to Carnegie.

Even more galling for them was that, as Pittsburghlabor historian Charles McCollester later wrote in The Point of Pittsburgh,

“The skilled production workers at Homestead enjoyed wages significantly higher than at any other mill in the country.”

Seated white man with beard wearing large black coat and holding top hat in black and white

As Sidney Lens pointed out in his classic The Labor Wars: From the Molly Maguires to the Sit-Downs, membership in the Amalgamated Association plummeted from 24,000 to 10,000 in 1894 and down to 8,000 in 1895. Meanwhile, the Carnegie Steel Co.’s profits rose to a staggering $106 million in the nine years after Homestead. And for 26 long years—until the last months of World War I in 1918—union organizing among steelworkers was crushed.

Not something taught in k12:

“Father Was Killed by the Pinkerton Men”

Twas in Pennsylvania town not very long ago,

Men struck against reduction of their pay.

Their millionaire employer with philanthropic show

Had closed the works ’till starved they would obey.

They fought for home and right to live where they had toiled so long,

But ere the sun had set, some were laid low.

I see that in Oregon, Oregon State University and University of Oregon has almost equal in-state and out-of-state student bodies. Yep, that’s why my taxes go nowhere.

Higher education? It’s starting to look like a threadbare marketing shit show:

Schroders’ 2023 U.S. Retirement Survey found that Gen Xers said they needed an average of $1,112,183 for a comfortable retirement. However, they expected to have only an average of $661,013. That means middle-aged Americans are short a half-million dollars for retirement.

…how many goddamned times will this billionaire lizard brain continue with the song and dance of banning me?

Today, minutes ago, Facebook locked me out. And, of course, as a communist, it ain’t a big deal but it is really on some levels if you get my drift.

Ponder this: in 2004 a Harvard sophomore named Zuckerberg sits in his dorm room hammering away at a computer keyboard. He’s taking an idea he ‘borrowed’ from two nice-but-dim Harvard undergraduates and writing the computer code needed to turn it into a social-networking site. He borrows $1,000 from his friend Eduardo Saverin and puts the site onto an internet web-hosting service. He calls it ‘The Facebook’.

Fourteen years later, that kid has metamorphosed into the 21st-century embodiment of John D Rockefeller and William Randolph Hearst rolled into one. In the early 20th century, Rockefeller controlled the flow of oil while Hearst controlled the flow of information. In the 21st century Zuckerberg controls the flow of the new oil (data) and the information (because people get much of their news from the platform that he controls). His empire spans more than 2.2bn people, and he exercises absolute control over it — as a passage in the company’s 10-K SEC filing makes clear. It reads, in part:

”Mark Zuckerberg, our founder, Chairman, and CEO, is able to exercise voting rights with respect to a majority of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock and therefore has the ability to control the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and any merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentrated control could delay, defer, or prevent a change of control, merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets that our other stockholders support, or conversely this concentrated control could result in the consummation of such a transaction that our other stockholders do not support… ”.

You don’t need to wear a tinfoil hat to believe that the CIA is using Facebook, Twitter, Google (GOOG) and other social media to spy on people. That’s because the CIA publishes a helpful list of press releases on all the social media ventures it sponsors, via its technology investment arm In-Q-Tel.

The companies that take In-Q-Tel’s money aren’t shy about publicizing what they’re up to, either. Most recently, GeoSemble announced an update to its GeoXray product, which monitors social media chatter based on location:

This capability benefits business users who may be monitoring competition, supply chain activity or business opportunities in a county, neighborhood or border region.

For governments at the city, local and Federal levels it brings the ability to visualize activity in a given area filtered by topic, time and location.

… we can deliver whatever information is available about that place from websites, blogs, tweets and other social media automatically and accurately …

The world’s largest database on individuals
One of the mainthreats to privacy comes from advertisers, who want to track everything consumers do on the web and scrape their online accounts for personal information. It shouldn’t be surprising, therefore, to learn that theCIA and the worlds largest ad agency network,WPP(WPPGY), have been in bed together on a social media data-mining venture since at least January 2009. WPP currently claims to own theworld’s largest database of unique individual profiles— including demographic, financial, purchase and geographic histories. WPP’sVisible Technologiesunit took an investment from In-Q-Tel in fall of 2009. Visible Technologies develops tools that can scan social media networks such as Twitter and Facebook.

WPP also funded Omniture, a marketing ROI agency, with $25 million in January 2009. Omniture’s Visual Sciences unit has also taken In-Q-Tel money. The CIA re-upped with Visible Technologies as part of another $6 million funding round in March 2011.

Other companies that mine web data and have taken In-Q-Tel investments include:

Fetch Technologues: “Fetch’s customized software agents navigate websites to instantly deliver meaningful, useful and reliable data, and easily integrate with a company’s existing data management system for immediate analysis.”
Cleversafe: A cloud-based storage company that, as Wired notes, is “‘ideal for storing mission critical data by addressing the core principles of data confidentiality, integrity and availability.’ (Incidentally, those principles also spell out CIA).”
Cloudera: provides data storage software that makes it easy for governments to process and analyze vast amounts of information.

Meta has disbanded its Responsible AI division, the team dedicated to regulating the safety of its artificial intelligence ventures as they get developed and deployed, according to a Meta spokesperson.

Most members of the RAI team have been reassigned to the company’s Generative AI product division, while some others will now work on the AI Infrastructure team, the spokesperson said. The news was first reported by The Information.

The Generative AI team, born in February, focuses on developing products that generate language and images to mimic the equivalent human-made version. It came as companies across the tech industry poured money into machine learning development so as not to get left behind in the AI race. Meta is among the Big Tech companies that have been playing catch-up since the AI boom took hold.

The RAI restructuring comes as the Facebook parent nears the end of its “year of efficiency,” as CEO Mark Zuckerberg called it during a February earnings call. So far, that has played out as a flurry of layoffs, team-mergers and redistributions at the company. (source)

The Center for AI Safety divides the risks of AI into eight categories. Among the dangers it foresees are AI-designed chemical weapons, personalized disinformation campaigns, humans becoming completely dependent on machines and synthetic minds evolving past the point where humans can control them.

Geoffrey Hinton, an AI pioneer who signed the new statement, quit Google earlier this year, saying he wanted to be free to speak about his concerns about potential harm from systems like those he helped to design.

“It is hard to see how you can prevent the bad actors from using it for bad things,” he told the New York Times.

“We are consistently moving towards achieving the stated goals of the special operation,” he said, pointing out that the Russian forces are also gaining more favorable positions and expanding its control in all directions in the battlefield.

The Russian minister said that these victories were possible thanks to the creation of a system of defensive lines, the high combat capability of the Russian forces, and the “skillful and decisive actions of the defenders of the homeland.”

Shoigu recalled that the United States and its allies have supplied Ukraine with 5,220 armored vehicles, 28 aircraft, 87 helicopters, 23,000 drones, and over 1,300 artillery systems, as Sputnik reported.

Mark Fuck You Berg hates the New Arab!

The New Israel Fund (NIF) has named two winners of its Gallanter Prize: Fida Shehada, an Arab-Israeli councilwoman in the Israeli city of Lod, and Mikhael Manekin, founder of Alliance for Israel’s Future, the organization exclusively told eJewishPhilanthropy.

Lod, a mixed Jewish-Arab city, was the site of violence between Jews and Arabs during last May’s conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Alliance for Israel’s Future aims to create an Arab-Jewish political network.

The prize is sponsored by Linda and Sanford Gallanter, NIF leaders who live in the San Francisco Bay Area. Each recipient receives a $15,000 cash award and is invited to address the organization’s gala, which will be held virtually this year on Oct. 24.

Shehada, who grew up in Lod, organizes tours of the city for government ministries, highlighting high rates of unemployment and crime. As co-director of the Shutafut Fellowship, a project of Alliance for Israel’s Future, Manekin trains aspiring political leaders.

“These are two individuals who have dedicated themselves to what might be the toughest, but also the most rewarding, work happening today in Israel: bringing Arabs and Jews together to make social change,” said Orli Bein, NIF’s senior director for the San Francisco Region.

[Photo: An installation at the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bethlehem depicts an infant Jesus lying amidst the rubble on Christmas Eve, 2023 (Reuters)]

In a Christmas message from the occupied city of Bethlehem on Sunday, Palestinian Christian pastor Munther Isaac delivered an address in which he said the current war on Gaza was “the biggest blow”, and that Christians would not accept words of “delayed remorse”.

The sermon, made on Christmas Eve, came after Isaac previously stated that all Christmas celebrations in the birthplace of Jesus would be cancelled, as Israel continues to bombard the besieged enclave for the third month.

Isaac said that, this year, Christ was “under the rubble” due to the bombings in Gaza and as Israeli forces also continued to carry out raids across the occupied West Bank, including in Jenin.

He added that close to 9,000 children have been killed by Israel since the start of the war on 7 October and that 1.9 million Palestinians have been displaced.

“We are angry. This would have been a time of joy. Instead, we are mourning, fearful. More than 20,000 have been killed. Thousands more are under the rubble,” he said.

Forget about highlighting why China is “winning” the tech war. Communism, man, socialism, lady!

How refreshing to hear a Chinese academic speaking so eloquently about China’s recent successes and China’s commitment to social justice. We here in the west are continually told our system is superior despite the overwhelming evidence (rampant and growing poverty, homelessness, ill-health, psychological alienation, despair and anger) before our eyes. I absolutely applaud China and all the BRICS nations for their determination to offer the world a viable alternative to the disgustingly inequitable and increasingly dysfunctional Western neo-liberal systems.

Then, posting this — Israel Fascists, the entire Jewish State of Undemocratic Genocidal Occupied Palestine will be controlling Goyim from the inside of their computer brain, outward. Internet of nano-things? Internet of bodies. This will get you/me banned:

Israel’s government agreed to give Intel Corp a $3.2 billion grant for new $25 billion chip plant it plans to build in southern Israel, both sides said on Tuesday, in what is the largest investment ever by a company in Israel.

War on Gaza: How language used by media outlets downplays Palestinian suffering

Linguists say that media’s use of the passive voice and choice of terminology is being weaponised by Israel while downplaying crimes in Gaza

At the UN Security Council, the US has made it a point to make itself the centre of attention, rather than allow the slightest semblance of protecting human rights and lives to take precedence. Yesterday, a vote was postponed in the hope of avoiding a US veto on a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. The US expressed dissatisfaction with the language used, the resolution was watered down significantly and yet, the “urgent suspension of hostilities” which essentially means another “humanitarian pause” that gives Israel time to recalibrate for its next massacre, is apparently still worded too strongly for the Americans.

“We’re still working through the modalities of the resolution,” US National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said on Tuesday. “It’s important for us that the rest of the world understand what’s at stake here and what Hamas did on 7 October and how Israel has a right to defend itself against those threats.”

An occupying state has no right to claim “self-defence” when attacking those living (and dying) under its occupation

He’s wrong. Not only does an occupying state have no right to claim “self-defence” when attacking those living (and dying) under its occupation, but the issue at stake is actually that Palestinians are being killed, tortured, forcibly displaced and ethnically cleansed by the US-backed settler-colonial state of Israel. If Israel was so concerned about a possible Hamas incursion into the land it colonised, its technological capabilities, not to mention the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), would have prevented it. Israel needed a pretext for its next colonisation phase and the world to rally around its reasoning. Fortunately, public opinion has shifted and the divide between politicians and the masses worldwide has never been greater.

On the mRNA vaccines’ pathways for damage

As most of you probably know, the 2023 Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded to two researchers whose patents were licensed by Pfizer & Moderna in the creation of the mRNA injectable products. This is significant since the Nobel Prize still holds a good bit of sway. Questionable and hotly debated factual claims can step-by-step become historical truth thro…

Finally, Fuck You and the Horse You Rode onto the Internet On Meta HATES this stuff:

Ali Abunimah – Using American bombs to deliberately target refugee camps, hospitals, schools and other densely populated areas, Israel has killed over 19,0000 Palestinians in its genocidal war on Gaza. Additionally, 52,000 Palestinians have been injured, with more than 8,000 reported missing, feared dead or trapped under the rubble. Ali Abunimah, Director of The Electronic Intifada and author of the Battle for Justice In Palestine, breaks down the latest developments in the Israeli onslaught of Gaza and why Israel can never win.

Amanda Yee – As 2023 comes to a close, Amanda Yee, An Editor of LiberationNews.org and Host of Radio Free Amanda, joins the show to wrap up the biggest US domestic stories of the year. Amanda, Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear discuss: the continued upsurge of labor, re-loaded McCarthyism and the new Cold War on China, the wide opposition to Biden’s support for the Gaza genocide, and Congress’ funding for endless war as US infrastructure crumbles.

Mosaab Baba – Thousands have been killed and millions have been displaced as the war in Sudan continues in its ninth month. Six million people have been displaced so far by the war which started when the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), formerly ruling partners in the military junta, began fighting each other on April 15. Mosaab Baba, a researcher on Sudan, explains the current situation in the country.

Jehan Hakim – In response to Yemen’s attacks on Israel-bound ships in the Red Sea, the US announced the formation of a new naval task force to protect vessels bound for the apartheid state. Following the announcement, the spokesman of the Yemeni Armed Forces, Yahya Saree, said that Yemen would not be deterred and would continue to take action in solidarity with the Palestinian people. Jehan Hakim, Chair of the Yemeni Alliance Committee, breaks down the latest updates and explains the historic solidarity between Yemen and Palestine.

Theodora Pius – Mtandao wa Vikundi vya Wakulima [National Network of Farmers Groups in Tanzania], commonly known as MVIWATA, one of the largest peasant organizations in the African continent, issued a statement in solidarity with Palestine. MVIWATA, which represents more than 300,000 members of the Tanzanian peasantry, affirmed their total solidarity with the Palestinian people and denounced “the genocide and war crimes that are done by the Israeli regime in…Palestine.” Theodora Pius, Head of Programs for MVIWATA, discusses the statement and the work that MVIWATA is doing for small farmers and the rights of peasants.
