AI to Track How Dissent Grows on Twitter

AI to Track How Dissent Grows on Twitter

Freedomist Editor January 17, 2022

Billionaires and their corporate toys are using artificial intelligence and deep learning machines to attempt to re-engineer humanity to be more obedient to them, as well as being less competetive. Researchers from Europe are attempting to use AI to analyzie tweets about vaccines and climate change to learn how to identify sources of dissent and shut it down. Of course the researchers didn’t say such things outright, but, in essense, this is how we read a project such as this. Researchers claim to just be attempting to understand how opinions form, how ideas spread, but they’re essentially seeking to map out the structures of dissent itself.

Researchers use AI to analyze tweets debating vaccination and climate change

Excerpt:

Using artificial intelligence (AI) researchers have found that between 2007 and 2016 online sentiments around climate change were uniform, but this was not the case with vaccination.

Climate change and vaccinations might share many of the same social and environmental elements, but that doesn’t mean the debates are divided along the same demographics.

A research team from the University of Waterloo and the University of Guelph trained a machine-learning algorithm to analyze a massive number of tweets about climate change and vaccination.

The researchers found that climate change sentiment was overwhelmingly on the pro side of those that believe climate change is because of human activity and requires action. There was also a significant amount of interaction between users with opposite sentiments about climate change.

However, in the snapshot of the timeframe of the dataset, vaccine sentiment was nowhere near so uniform. In fact, only some 15 or 20 percent of users expressed a clearly pro-vaccine sentiment, while around 70 percent expressed no strong sentiment. Perhaps more importantly, individuals and entire online communities with differing sentiments toward vaccination interacted much less than the climate change debate.

“It is an open question whether these differences in user sentiment and social media echo chambers concerning vaccines created the conditions for highly polarized vaccine sentiment when the COVID-19 vaccines began to roll out,” said Chris Bauch, professor of applied mathematics at the University of Waterloo. “If we were to do the same study today with data from the past…

Boston’s Christian Flag Ban Gets SCOTUS Hearing

Paul Collier January 17, 2022

The city of Boston allows all ranges of political expression to be used in its row of flags on City Hall. The flagpole regularly features flags ‘celebrating’ diversity and civic engagement, and has included LGBTQ flags and other Leftist cause celebs. The appearance of a Christian flag to represent the Chrtistians of the city, however, is not approved. The case is now going before the Supreme Court, who must decide if the non-Constitutional standard of ‘separation of church and state’ is to be used to exclude Christians from being represented as being part of a diverse community or not.

Excerpt:

WASHINGTON – For years the city of Boston rotated dozens of flags on a pole outside City Hall to celebrate veterans, paramedics, sports teams and LGBTQ pride as part of what it describes as an effort to promote diversity and civic engagement.

But when a group applied in 2017 to hoist a “Christian flag” up the 83-foot pole, city officials said it wouldn’t fly. The blue-and-white flag, with a red Latin cross in one corner, would violate the long-held principle of separation of church and state, they said.

Navy Seals Get Vax Reprieve

Paul Collier January 17, 2022

US Navy Seals won their day in court and will presumably have more days in court as the ruling by a Federal District Judge granting them the right to reject the military vaccine mandate on religious grounds is sure to be appealed and sure to end up in the Supreme Court.

Excerpt:

“There is no COVID-19 exception to the First Amendment,” wrote U.S. District Court Judge Reed O’Connor. His words, directed to the United States Navy, should remind all Americans – and especially those in positions of authority – that the Constitution refuses to bend to authoritarian impulses.

Earlier this month, O’Connor issued a preliminary injunction against the U.S. Navy, preventing it from taking any further action against the 35 Navy SEALs and Special Warfare service members represented by the First Liberty Institute. It also provides hope for the thousands of members of the military who bravely raised religious objections to receiving the vaccine knowing full well their fates had long been sealed.

9/10 2021 CNN Viewers Aren’t Coming Back for 2022

Ivo Fysic January 13, 2022

CNN milked 2021 for all she was worth, shilling doom and gloom vax shock and Trump Trump Trump evil racism fascism, blah blah blah. After awhile, all that screaming and fake news started to take its toll, and even your most committed hate porn watcher couldn’t find enough plausible deniability in the stories CNN was telling. Couple that with major violations of journalistic ethics such as we see from Fredo Cuomo, and child sex charges against two top CNN producers, and the hate watchers just couldn’t take being part of the whole sordid affair.

To recap, just to make sure you understand, this is not fake news, CNN has lost 90 perecent of the viewership it had JUST LAST YEAR. Reason to celebrate, for sure, given the seditious and violent nature of the content that DNC organ of fake pukes out.

Scandal-ridden CNN sees ratings dive by 90% after 2021 coverage

From NY Post:

CNN’s ratings took a nosedive by a massive 90 percent both overall and in the all-important demographic coveted by advertisers in the first week of the new year.

The Jeff Zucker-led cable news network averaged just 548,000 viewers during the week of Jan. 3 — a major drop from the nearly 2.7 million viewers for the same week in 2021, according to Nielsen ratings.

The year-ago ratings were jolted by the left-leaning network’s coverage of the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol, which resulted in CNN having its most-watched day since Ted Turner launched the news outlet in 1980.

But on the one-year anniversary of the attacks, viewers flipped over to CNN’s right-wing rival, Fox News, which topped the ratings for coverage of the event.

SCOTUS Stops OSHA Mandate, Stays Biden Mandate

Freedomist Editor January 13, 2022

The Supreme Court struck down the OSHA Vaccine mandate, but preserved the government employee and healthcare worker vaccine mandate. The OSHA Mandate was halted in a 6-3 decision while the Biden mandate was stayed until a 6th Circuit Decision is delivered.

Excerpt:

Much to the chagrin of our resident despot Tony “I am the science” Fauci, the Supreme Court has struck down Biden’s vaccine mandate which would have used OSHA to force companies employing more than 100 people to force vaccinations on employees.

The mandate was met with strong opposition from private employers with some, like The Daily Wire, filing lawsuits almost immediately after it was announced.

The mandate was previously blocked by a lower court in response to another lawsuit filed on behalf of several states which argued the mandate was gross “unconstitutional overreach.” It would seem the SCOTUS has agreed.

In a 6-3 decision: “OSHA’s COVID–19 Vaccination and Testing; Emergency Temporary Standard, 86 Fed. Reg. 61402, is stayed pending disposition of the applicants’ petitions for review in the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and disposition of the applicants’ petitions for writs of certiorari, if such writs are timely sought.

Old Age Might Have a Vaccine Soon

Freedomist Editor January 13, 2022

We might just have a cure for aging, and, in current year, the cure is more than ironic. That cure is a vaccine. While we in 2022 find ourselves 2 plus years into Covid lockdown heck, under the gun of vaccine mandates or making a living, scientists are developing a vaccine that could cure, or at least significantly slow down, the disease that is aging.

Researchers studying the causes and process of developing age-related health issues developed a vaccine to eliminate cells in the human body that are believed to trigger arterial sclerosis and other diseases.

The team led by a professor from Juntendo University in Tokyo said the effects of the vaccine were confirmed through experiments using mice.

“Most disorders that elderly patients tend to develop can be targeted (by the vaccine),” said Toru Minamino, a professor of cardiovascular internal medicine at the university’s graduate school.

Georgia Sewers Yield Killer Bacteria Res

Georgia Sewers Yield Killer Bacteria with Dreaded Anti-bacteria Gene

Parker Davis January 13, 2022

Researchers in the University of Georgia have discovered the existence of a gene that could create widespread antimicrobial resistance, which would put humanity existentially at risk.

The gene has long been feared to exist, and now that they’ve discovered it occuring in nature, the concern has moved very much out of the theoretical and into the real.

The risk is considered in the top 10 of potential risks to human existance.

Gene discovered in Georgia water a possible global threat

Excerpt:

A gene that causes bacteria to be resistant to one of the world’s most important antibiotics, colistin, has been detected in sewer water in Georgia. The presence of the MCR-9 gene is a major concern for public health because it causes antimicrobial resistance, a problem that the World Health Organization has declared “one of the top 10 global public health threats facing humanity.”

Researchers from the University of Georgia’s Center for Food Safety (CFS) collected sewage water from an urban setting in Georgia to test for the MCR gene in naturally present bacteria. Led by College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences assistant professor Issmat Kassem, whose research focuses on MCR’s presence around the world, the team was surprised at how quickly they detected MCR—they found evidence of the gene in the first sample they took.

Kassem said that demonstrates that the gene is becoming established in the U.S.

The bacteria where the gene was found, Morganella morganii, added further concern for Kassem. This marked the first time that MCR was found in M. morganii, which is problematic because it is a bacteria not often tested by researchers. This means that the problem could be considerably more widespread than initially thought.

Department of Injustice Prepares Anti-American Task Force

Paul Collier January 13, 2022

The US Justice Department just created an anti-American committee intended to utilize law as a political weapon to be wielded against the American people, the people who resist the ideology of CRT, of social justice, of anti-americanism and anti-Christism that the American Left, with the DNC as the engineer, are attempting to unconstitutionally forcing on American citizens.

They call this a counter-domestic terrorism unit, and it focuses entirely on leftist talking points, like being against abortion, or believing the 2020 election was not valid, or being against a CRT ideology that teaches innocent children to hate their parents and fear and desperately seek approval from authoritarian strangers (we call that grooming in the American parts of these lands).

Let’s see how the token resistance, the GOP, handles this gross abomination of the American constitution, the Bill of Rights, and our American Republic.

WASHINGTON, Jan 11 (Reuters) – The U.S. Justice Department is creating a new unit to counter domestic terrorism following the 2021 U.S. Capitol attack, a senior official said on Tuesday, as it faces a growing threat from white supremacists and anti-government activists.

The move reflects a growing realization by U.S. national security officials that domestic extremists represent a threat on par with that posed by foreign militant groups such as Islamic State.

“We face an elevated threat from domestic violent extremists – that is, individuals in the United States who seek to commit violent criminal acts in furtherance of domestic social or political goals,” Matthew Olsen, the assistant attorney general of the department’s National Security Division, told a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

“We have seen a growing threat from those who are motivated by racial animus, as well as those who ascribe to extremist…

RIP HARRY REID

Betsy Dorminey January 12, 2022

By Betsy Dorminey, for The Freedomist

It seems appropriate that the late Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) should lie in state in the U.S. Capitol rotunda. He lied there many times before.

Senator Reid lied about his Senate colleague and co-religionist Mitt Romney on the Senate floor in 2012. I use the word “lied” advisedly, in the sense that he intentionally stated as true something he categorically knew to be false. And he did it to neutralize a credible Republican presidential nominee. Reid said “he heard” that Romney hadn’t paid any taxes in 10 years: Romney later released a return showing he’d paid $1.9 million in taxes in 2011. Pants on fire, Senator Reid: and it isn’t just me: Politifact outed the falsehood, but the damage was done, and Senate rules insulated Reid from any consequences.

And Reid was a mighty obstructionist. In 2001 he was instrumental in blocking President George W. Bush’s nomination of Miguel Estrada,, a Honduran immigrant with degrees from Columbia and Harvard, to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. (Tragically, Estrada’s wife was a casualty of that turmoil.) After some seasoning on the Circuit Court Estrada would have been an outstanding first Latino Supreme Court appointee. No dice, said the man from Vegas. And in 2006 Reid helped scuttle a bipartisan, comprehensive immigration reform bill. President George W. Bush helped craft legislation to increase border security, increase the number of guest workers, and expand green cards, a general overhaul of what is universally regarded as a broken immigration system. News flash: it’s still broken, and the prospects for reform grow ever more remote.

Why did Reid labor (successfully) to bring down Estrada and immigration reform? Same motivation in each case: the paramount desire to deny a Republican president “wins” that Reid wanted to reserve for a Democratic administration, the better to reap Blue electoral hay from Latino voters.

One hates to speak ill of the dead, and I’m not without some personal sympathy for the man: we’re both afflicted with bad eyesight. And I’m sure he well served his constituents, particularly those in a position to underwrite political campaigns. There’s a reason the crane is the State Bird of Nevada. I’m sure he will be mourned by family and friends. And I’m glad he funded research on space aliens, surely to the benefit of his fine constituents – who knows, maybe voters? — in Area 51. But let’s not kid ourselves. Harry Reid may have been a very skilled politician, but he was no statesman. Still, may he rest in peace.

Rittenhouse Friend Walks Virtually Scot-Free Following Plea Deal

Paul Collier January 11, 2022

The headline below, “Man who bought gun for Kyle Rittenhouse pleads no contest,” is ubiquitous in variations as a headline across these lands. Wherever the DNC-MSM controls your signal, you would be left with the social signal that society had once again confirmed your neo-marxianesque wanna-be reality that it was illegal for human beings to defend themselves against your street thug gangs doing the violent work of the DNC.
The man who gave Kyle Rittenhouse the gun of death was going to jail, pleading no contest to the charges, confirming once again the MSM was right the whole time when they said Kyle Rittenhouse had the gun illegally because he crossed state borders and brought Sharknado with him.
The ACTUAL headline should read, “Rittenhouse Friend Pleads Misdemeanor Fine, All Other Charges Dropped.” But that headline was not the right narrative, even if it spoke the truth, for truth is not your friend when you live in Utopian/Dystopian lies. Truth undermines your power, as it does the DNC/MSM’s power, so they write a technically true headline knowing full well they are manipulating, knowingly deceiving, their audiences to keep them in lock step with their violent anti-American, anti-Bill-of-Rights revolution.
