How DNC Hunger Artsts Are Seeking to Make Facebook Pay for January 6th

A Facebook whistelblower will claim the company failed to take multiple warnings seriously leading up the events surrounding the Capitol on January 6th, 2021.  Facebook plans on getting in front of the story that seems to have legs and seems to be building negative momentum against the Silicon Valley leviathon.  They will attack the credibility of the whistleblower and claim they knew full well the science and did all they could to minimize the damage.

The whole affair is also a symbol of the cycles of moral clout public scalping Facebook itself has enabled, and is now on the ‘being scalped’ end of the latest public moral clouting.  Here’s how we got here and where we’re going next:

Facebook chose to advance a particular narrative after the January 6th Capital Hill Incident that is sometimes called a Riot, sometimes called a Protest Gone Bad, sometimes called an Insurrection, and sometimes called literally Apocolypse itself.  Facebook chose to go with the Apoclypse Iself narrative and treated any information that might be shared that might offer a counter to the Apoclype narrative, one that would lead the non-poliitcally engaged to assume that a man dressed a buffalo almost single-handeldy brought down the American state.

Nevermind those ARs, boys, mind the buffalo head men.  They can just walk into the Capital and boom, all those military advantages just evaporate before the might of the buffalo-headed men.

Well, that decision to throw in with the Apocolypse version of “The Incident of Jaunary 6th on the Capitol Hill” might potentially backfire.  You see, leading up to the event that almost lead to literally wholesale Mad Max Anarchy across the American lands themselves, Facebook allowed people to stream, stream, stream, and share, and group-up, and organize, and, and, and…..

I am assuming you are getting the picture here.  The very sicophants of the cult of the DNC these Facebook execus were placating AFTER “the incident” are now using Facebook’s own characterization of the event through what it has censored after the event, action that demonstrates, in this writer’s opinion, not only an advocation of the Apocolyptic narrative, but a coercive enforcement of that assumption on its users.  Any expression that challenged the DNC official narrative of “the incident” would be censored, and if the user repeated this offense, the user themselves woud be removed.

And now, that hardball approach to post-1-6 has left Facebook vulnerable to the same people they chose to enable, the rabid adherents of the DNC party line, which, at this point in the political discouse, represents that vast overwhelming majority of the ‘left,’ even the so-called anarchist left, who seem more inclined than ever to cheer on corporate censorship and massive state spending bills that are thousands of pages long and will produce tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of regulatory code through which the interests of the few will be protected from the liberty of the many.

But, it might give some people here and there some sugar to get them through the apocolypse, so, that’s good, and that’s about the best the ‘left’ will ever get from the international party they seem so willing to serve, the DNC.

Be careful the mosnters you create, though, DNC, and don’t be so trusting of the models your deep learning machines are showing you to follow.  We humans will not be pinned down by machines and you’re soon to discover this truth.  Here, Facebook’s machines did not protect the executives from the beasts they were creating, the people that thrive on public scalpings for their primary source of power, the acolytes of the DNC.

They will pick your bones apart in a second if it means moral clout as defined by the DNC.

This unquenchable hunger, the acolytes of the DNC as a spirt, seeks revenge to offer it but a moment of rest from the burden of such desires.  The buffalo-headed men are rotting in jail, even as we speak, and culturally, they are mostly buffoons and mad, but inept, terrorists who sought to restore the KKK to world power once again.  The vanquished buffalo-headed men are now just leftist menes floating freely on this same Facebook platform.

The hunger artists in reverse have a new delicious dish to eat, one which could afford them even more power to strip the bones off the latest opportunity for public moral clout scalping. their source of sustenance.  That dish, of course, is Facebook, and a whistleblower is about to come forward and declare that Facebook was told it was enabling the January 6th Apocolype but did nothing about it.

Facebook is seeking to pre-empt the damage by going on the offenseive against the whisteblower before they ever speak.  Facebook aims to discredit the whisteblower’s claims in advance by asserting they did all they could and followed the science that suggested what they should do next (what their deep learning think-tanks were ‘suggesting’).

Perhaps the machines predicted more placation after the election was declared for Biden than actually occored.  Who knows? Either way, schadenfreude would not be inappropriate here for so many of us hemmed in by the new morality of the DNC as upheld by Silicon Valley, in this case.  Watching the suits of Facebook having to face their own moral puritanicalism from people who have moral clout than them will surely be a glorious thing to behold, to a point, but when the kids make up (and they will) it will result in at least a short-term bad outcome for the rest of us, even  more governance placed in the hands, directly, of the most active of moral clout activists, the hunger artists of the DNC.

Facebook goes on offense ahead of whistleblower revelations on Capitol riot role

Excerpt:

 

Facebook was on the offense this weekend as the clock ticked down to a company whistleblower coming forward with revelations about the social network.

The whistleblower is due to reveal their identity on news programme 60 Minutes on Sunday. The former employee, who has turned over thousands of potentially damaging documents regarding company policy, is expected to allege that Facebook had dismantled security protections too soon after the 2020 election, contributing to the fallout and Capitol riots; disregarded or failed to disclose damaging research; and profited from users sharing divisive content.

The social media giant has been accused of failing to adequately address known harmful consequences of its platform and its tools. Key amongst the criticisms is that Facebook has contributed to the 6 January storming of the Capitol, political polarization across America and even negatively affected teens’ mental health.

California Struck With Massive Oil Spill from Broken Pipeline

A major oil spill has hit Huntington Beach California this past weekend that has stretched six miles in length.  The amount of oil is estimated to be over 126,000 gallons.  There are reports of hundreds of dead birds and sea life as a result of the spill and its striking of Huntington Beach itself.  What will follow will be an accountability process that will touch both state and corporation alike, with factions already preparing to push narratives that will allow them to exploit the tragedy to push their factional agendas.

It is doubtful that the state, and, in California, the Democrat Party will take some degree of a hit, losing, perhaps, even more of the excerbs and rural counties than they already have, but the association with the GOP in culture is so profound when it comes to oil spills that the overall effect on the party will be negligent.  However, some officials will lose their standing, whether in  the form of resignations or just being rendered the new irrelevent.  Regulators, first responders, will come under scrutiny.

At the national level, the spill will serve the DNC well, as, like stated above, the GOP owns this oil spill culturally, and, having little means of cultural prudoction themselves, there’s no reason this cultural construct won’t continue to be the dominant thrust in this narrative.  The oil spill will be a symbol, a paradigm of the cold climate change deiner that always seeks profit over planet.

Greta Thunberg will make this a necklace around her neck, a little black obsidian drop in the form of a blade stabbing the heart of the earth, a rare green pearl.  The necklace itself will be worth billions, but don’t fret such things.

Here is a range of articles covering different aspects of this emerging major story that’s sure to dominate the conversation for at least the next two days, at least, but we shall see…..

 

‘Catastrophic’ California oil spill kills fish, damages wetlands and closes beaches

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (NewsNation Now) — A massive oil spill off the California coast left fish dead, birds covered in petroleum and wetlands contaminated with oil, in what local officials are calling an environmental catastrophe.

An estimated 126,000 gallons of heavy crude leaked into the water, and some washed up on the shores of Orange County starting late Friday or early Saturday when boaters began reporting a sheen in the water, officials said.

Crews led by the Coast Guard deployed skimmers and laid some 3,700 feet of floating barriers known as booms to try to stop more oil from seeping into areas including Talbert Marsh, a 25-acre wetland, officials said. The city and state beaches at Huntington Beach were closed, and late Sunday the city of Laguna Beach, just to the south, said its beaches also were shuttered.

Excerpt:

Los Angeles, Oct 4 (IANS) A massive oil spill off the Orange County coast in Southern California has prompted the closure of a 9-km long beachfront area.

Orange County Supervisor Katrina Foley told local KTLA news channel on Sunday that the incident was first reported a day earlier and oil was still leaking about 8.05 km off the coast of Huntington Beach from the broken pipeline, reports Xinhua news agency.

“It’s still leaking and the responsible party for this is underway right now trying to repair the leak from the pipeline,” Foley said, referring to the platform Elly, a facility sitting in federal waters off the Los Angeles County coast and processing crude oil production from two other platforms.

All these platforms are located on top of a large reservoir of crude oil known as the Beta Field, which sits in waters overseen by the US Department of the Interior.

Oil spill photos show disastrous scene on Southern California beaches

Excerpt:

A broken pipeline has led to an estimated 126,000 gallons of oil leaked into the Ocean waters near Orange County, prompting Southern California officials to rapidly race to contain the damage in one of the largest oil spills in recent memory. 

The oil spill reached the shores of Huntington Beach late Saturday – five miles off the coast. Crews were able to remove more than 3,000 gallons of oil from the ocean off the coastline Sunday, according to Orange County Supervisor Katrina Foley.

Wildlife harmed by the oil was still emerging, with dead birds and fish washing ashore. Efforts to keep the spill from affecting any more sensitive marshland was ongoing. “We’re hoping we have minimal impact, but we’re preparing for the worst,” Christian Corbo, a lieutenant at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, said in a public statement.

Response time questioned in Southern California oil spill

Excerpt:

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Some residents, business owners and environmentalists questioned whether authorities reacted quickly enough to contain one of the largest oil spills in recent California history, caused by a suspected leak in an underwater pipeline that fouled the sands of famed Huntington Beach and could keep the beaches there closed for weeks or longer.

Booms were deployed on the ocean surface Sunday to try to contain the oil while divers sought to determine where and why the leak occurred. On land, there was a race to find animals harmed by the oil and to keep the spill from harming any more sensitive marshland.

People who live and work in the area said they noticed an oil sheen and a heavy petroleum smell Friday evening.

But it wasn’t until Saturday afternoon that the Coast Guard said an oil slick had been spotted and a unified command established to respond. And it took until Saturday night for the company that operates the pipeline believed responsible for the…

Leftism IS NOT Totalitarianism

There is a sense on the right that the the left’s alt-gendered rainbow definitions of marriage and family are the cause, or least the vehicles, of an emerging totalitarianism. We do not believe this is so or that the bent toward totalitarianism is limited to any idea, be it orthodoxy or unorthodox.

Let us examine the issue of the alt-culture versus our more historic cultural orthodoxy.

Let us stipulate that for many there is a strong conviction that men and women were created to be conjoined and complimentary and their lifelong matetnal bond is meant to reflect the Divine order between God and humanity. We generally beleive it is the ideal of an advanced culture that children mostly all be raised mostly by their own biological parents in connection with a larger kinship community based on shared identity and ideals.

This truth, if you see it as truth, need not censor the idea that marriage is merely a transactional and impermanent union between any .two humans who have attraction to each other and derive pleasure from each other. Those who embrace this can freely follow this. But today’s purveyors of this SEEM to have deemed themselves to be authorized to shun, shame, cancel, and punish those who not only insist on the truthfulness of historic familial orthodoxy but who dare to both live this and govern their own relationships and associations on this basis.

It is no longer the alternative marital, familial, sexuality, and now also gender concepts that wish merely to be tolerated, it is now that these ideas, or some of the loudest and most influential and powerful people advancing them, that demand that all who disagree with this “evolution” be sidelined and all voices that do not applaud this “evolution” be silenced.

If there ever seemed to be evidence that the alt-culture that defies historic orthodoxy is a lie, it is the fact so many of its most powerful advocates don’t think these alternative ideas are able to freely thrive WITHOUT silencing anything contradictory. But this is too simple: people who have also adhered to historic cultural orthodoxy have also used a heavy hand to silence and punish those who wish to test and challenge that orthodoxy.

It is less the ideas, be they orthodoxy as we might embrace it or these fantastical experimental alternatives, that are the problem, or the solution, than it is the tendency to suppress others and to create a monoculture by force. In short, totalitarianism is wildly varied, as in it may use any truth or alternative ideas, but its common thread is that culture itself must be maintained by the whip hand of a top-down hierarchical system of control.

Today’s totalitarians are loudest and most powerful on the “left”, specifically under banners like social justice, racial equality through “white shaming”, and the alt-gendered rainbow. But these ideas would be harmless to any save those who adhere to them if the only way they were advanced was through freewill participation on a strictly voluntary basis.

But totalitarian leanings are not limited to the “left”, and conflating the ideas of this alt-culture with totalitarianism is to miss the point. Embracing non-orthodox concepts of marriage and family doesn’t make one a totalitarian and embracing historic cultural orthodoxy doesn’t prevent one from acting in a totalitarian manner.

Totalitarianism, the bent toward using coercive force to advance your idea and suppress others, can use any justification, any idea, as its basis.

Farms that Scrape the Sky

A project is going on in China that no doubt was confirmed by and intended to serve the state, is also a proof of concept that could ultimately benefit the very people states such as China intend to control.

The project is what’s being billed as a farmscaper and is being designed to be centrally controlled, but the concept of building hydropponic, aquaponic, and other types of non-soil-dependent forms of farming on towers is not new.  As a matter of fact, I refer to this cocept as the farm tower.  The possibilitiy, for instance, with utilizing farm towers to grow your own chemicals and even  your own fundamental building materials right next to the processing and manufacturing centers that need them is a game-changer in creating local sustainability and thriving.

Imagine a hospital with farm towners around it that grow plants which can create wide ranges of currently scarce and expensive-to-produce medicines.  Imagine a manufacturoing hub that has farm towers beside it which grow the bulk of their raw material needs.  These worlds are possible so long as we can create localized versions of what the centralized powers would seek to preserve at the international scale.

Most people prefer to spend their time surrounded by nature, and it is good for your health after all. That’s why we see more and more buildings covered in greenery. Foster + Partners’ Marina Tower and Guangming Hub are among them. The tower is Greece’s first green high-rise building and its tallest, reaching 200 meters (656 ft) in height. The hub will include greenery-filled towers, autonomous vehicle technologies, and even virtual reality (VR).

Indeed, the greenery brings nature into cities while offering insulation and shade to the buildings, reducing air-conditioning requirements – but what if they could also provide food? That is precisely what Italy’s Carlo Ratti Associati (CRA) has in mind for the “Farmscraper,” which the firm claims could feed up to 40,000 people annually.

The Farmscraper, officially called Jian Mu Tower, would rise to 715 ft (218 m) in Shenzhen, China.

The alleged #resist movement the DNC in part wraps around itself derives its moral high ground from the claim it is simply antifascist, that’s all, and all of the uses of coercion, from burning down buildings to destroying businesses and careers of people who violate the antifascist code are for the good of the whole.

Of course, the whole is the people who are still qualified as people, a trick often used by factions seeking to create soldiers willing to die and to kill.  Anyone outside the orthodoxy is not to be engaged with as a fellow human neighbor in an American Democratic Republic limited by a Constitution fundamentally defined by the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence.

The whole construct of the American state as it ostensibly claimed it was is called in to doubt, all accused of being nothing but a giant historic dog whistle for fascism at its core.  To stop this, the antifascist must end the very idea of America itself, stripping the land and the people of the whole privilage, entitelment of ‘rights’ so uniquely enjoyed in the land by the vast majority of people who live and grow up and age and die here.

That whole movement is still applying preassure on the Biden administration to demand that corporations, financial institutions, every institution, freeze people and their businesses out of of the new normal state.

The pressure from the muscle of the party has yielded some fruit as Jen Psaki, the current, and first, primary surrogate of the Biden administration, to publically proclaim the administration’s support of Corporations stepping up their efforts to purge the landscape of the non-orthodox, both the content and the creators and anyone associated with them, especially anyone willing to associate with these creators commercially.

Fascism is a complex term that has multiple meanings, some of which might be in flux even as I write this, but, one of the fundamentally sure signs that fascism is afoot is when the corporation and the state become one, and the state is able to use the corporations to apply soft-power coercion on the opposition without any need for governments to write laws at all.

Whether or not we can term this use of the corporation in totality ‘fascism’ is up to contextuality, not detailed poilitical science definitions of a term whose political science definitions hardly anyone fully understands, nor are fully settled as the debate about where fascism begins and ends still continues to this day.  In the vaguer, adjectival sense of the term, which, I support, is simply using power advantage to control the weak through a strict enforcement of a moral supremacist, certain code.

Fascists, in the broader adjectival sense, are those who use tactics of subhumanization and ostracism to create hatred between groups for the purpose of creating people willing to kill and to die in the name of the morally supreme cause.

Here, we see corporations using their considerable power advantages, their near-monopolistic, and mostly cabalistic, advantages, to create fear and hate by cutting off more than half the discourse from the public square and corpo-criminalizing thoughts and people who fail to meet their supposed high moral standards.

I will let the reader decide, but, for me, this party, the DNC, and its corporate allies in Silicon Valley, Hollywoord, and New York, are more fascistic in spirit than not.  All that is missing is one charismatic leader and a nationalist fervor for the doubt to be removed.

WH Press Secretary Jen Psaki PUSHES for Big Tech to Censor More

It’s as if Big Tech has not already been censoring enough. Now the Biden administration is pushing platforms in an even more censorious direction.

COVID-19, like many national crises, has been used to push for more government tyranny. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki explained in a late September Morning Joe interview that platforms don’t censor Americans enough: “As we’re in the middle of a pandemic, we know that they have more data about how misinformation is traveling on the internet. And we know that people are getting misinformation on the internet that is preventing them or prompting them not to get a vaccine.”

When asked if action could be expected soon, Psaki made it clear that a series of factors need to align. “We’ll have to see. There has to be appetite in Congress. Uh, there has to be a desire to get things, uh, done and changed, but certainly elevating these issues as a number of reporters have, as you have, as we tried to do, is also…

Pentagon Chief Says Rapid Folding of Afghanistan

Afghan army collapse took US by ‘surprise’: Pentagon chief

From timesofindia.indiatimes.com
2021-09-28 17:39:59

Excerpt:

 

WASHINGTON: Top US military leaders acknowledged on Tuesday that the Taliban’s rapid takeover in Afghanistan took them by surprise and expressed concern the Islamic regime has not broken ties with al-Qaida.
“We helped build a state, but we could not forge a nation,” defense secretary Lloyd Austin told a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing about the US troop withdrawal from Afghanistan and evacuation.
“The fact that the Afghan army we and our partners trained simply melted away – in many cases without firing a shot – took us all by surprise,” he said. “It would be dishonest to claim otherwise.”
Austin said the United States had provided the Afghan military “with equipment and aircraft and the skills to use them.”
“Over the years, they often fought bravely,” he said. “Tens of thousands of Afghan soldiers and police officers died. But in the end, we couldn’t provide them with the will to win. At least not all of them”, he said.
The Pentagon chief said the United States “did not fully comprehend the depth of corruption and poor leadership in their senior ranks.”
General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the United States did not have a “full wholesome assessment of leadership morale and will” of the Afghan armed forces.

Did the Fall of Kabul Change America’s Mind on Afghanistan?

Pasadena GunFire Detection Monitor Plan Paused by Race Impact Report

Plans for the city of Pasadena to deploy gunfire detection monitors across the city were paused for one week when the city council paused the contract with contractor ShotSpotter.  The plan to deploy was puased on the heels of a report that suggest ‘brown and black’ communities would be disproportionately affected, with police presence only increasing in these communities that are still calling for less of a police footprint, not more.

Contract For Controversial Gunfire Detection Technology Held For One Week – Pasadena Now

From www.pasadenanow.com
2021-09-28 20:08:12

Excerpt:

 

Courtesy of ShotSpotter Facebook page

The City Council on Monday announced that a proposed contract for technology that uses microphones and sensors to determine the location of gunshots and quickly alerts police will be held for one week.

According to Mayor Victor Gordo, city staff will bring to the council more information on Shotspotter, a system that records loud, impulsive sounds and alerts police in 60 seconds or less about the location of the gunshot. Advocates believe the system could save lives, deter shootings, and prevent the need to investigate non-gunfire-related incidents, such as fireworks…..

Pasadena police Lt. Bill Grisafe said that after analyzing police data, ShotSpotter proposed to cover about a three-square-mile area of Pasadena that is most impacted by gun-related violence.

There was no mention of the specific area being considered.

According to a report to the council’s Public Safety Committee, which passed the matter last week, the Pasadena police intend to deploy ShotSpotter sensors in areas its own analysis shows are “most impacted by gun-related crimes.”

The ACLU claims that reasoning will increase the police footprint in Black and brown communities.

KYRIAKOS MITSOTAKIS, Greece’s prime minister, cast it as a love story. “History…wants us together,” he told Emmanuel Macron, France’s president, in Paris on September 28th. “So does geography.” He serenaded Mr Macron with tales of Ionian seafarers landing in Marseilles and the French Philhellenes who backed Greece’s war of independence. Mr Macron said that Greece was “a civilisation that has inspired us and enabled us to be ourselves”. Then the two leaders consummated their courtship with what they are calling a “strategic” defence pact.

The Franco-Greek relationship has been forged in rivalry with Turkey, which last year squared off with Greek warships around Cyprus, and with French ones off Libya. An anti-Turkey bloc, including France, Greece, Israel, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, has gradually taken shape. Mr Mitsotakis, eager to secure French support and bolster his own armed forces, had already agreed to buy 18 Rafale warplanes from France in January, at a cost of €2.5bn ($2.9bn), and six more in September. Now he will also buy three new French frigates, with the option of one more.

That is a boon for Greece’s navy, which has just 13 ageing frigates against Turkey’s newer fleet of 16. It is also a well-timed consolation prize for Naval Group, the majority-state-owned French arms firm which Australia turfed out of a lucrative sub marine contract on September 15th as part of its AUKUS pact with America and Britain. Naval Group is building the new frigates in Brittany; Greece is supposed to take delivery of its first in 2025.
