Fire District 7 to have new station at Fales Road operational by 2018

Ground broke Sept. 12 on the new fire station.
SNOHOMISH — Fire District 7's future station off of Fales Road will position firetrucks closer to Echo Lake and the surrounding area.
Fire Chief Gary Meek of Snohomish County Fire District 7, several fire commissioners and others, ceremonially broke ground on the new $5.4 million fire station on Tuesday, Sept. 12.
The 11,000 square foot future station at 19424 Fales Road near state Route 522 will "provide improved response times and accessibility to the Echo Lake and Lost Lake communities," according to a statement issued by the district. The station could be open by late summer 2018.
"We are very excited to be breaking ground on Station 33," said Chief Meek. The new station will replace the former Lost Lake station, which closed in 2012, and the current Maltby station off of Paradise Lake Road, which will be "repurposed for training needs," according to fire district spokeswoman Heather Chadwick.
Chadwick said the Fales Road station will be giving the best service to the area and saving money. She said response times were studied before they chose the Fales Road site and "no citizen should receive a longer response time" because of the move.
Fire District 7 received 11,000 emergency calls in 2016 and is on track to receive even more this year, Meek
said. The district provides fire and life safety services to 110,000 people over 98.5 square miles in central and east Snohomish County, including Monroe, Maltby, Clearview and Mill Creek.
Meek said the 4.9-acre vacant site was purchased in a bank foreclosure for about $205,000. The station will be on the front two acres of the site and feature three apparatus bays, office and training areas, and dorms.
"We've been meeting with (neighbors) regularly throughout the project," Meek said. During his remarks to about 20 people assembled for the groundbreaking ceremony, he thanked the surrounding community for its patience. "(We've) been at this process for quite a while," he said.
The chief said the site became available in late 2015 and the district has had the money for the project for two years, but the process of getting a conditional use permit took eight months.
Several neighbors were present for the groundbreaking ceremony.
"Love it!" said Mark Stenberg, who lives close by.
"I'm very supportive," said David Edgar. "That's why we're here—to support the chief." Both men like the idea of having emergency services close to their homes.
Allied Construction of Everett will be building the station.
Allied's project manager, Keith Bjella, said he hopes the structure will go "vertical" by November after they complete earth work. Excluding suppliers, about 100 people will be employed over the course of the project, Bjella said, with five to 10 on site at a time, depending on the season and the scope of the work.
Bjella said he's worked on a lot of public buildings, including a "handful of fire stations." He expects the new station to be completed sometime between July and September of next year.

The vast and fertile land of China gives birth to multi-ethnic cultures. Footwear also shows astonishing changes with civilizations from different geographical circumstances.
Manchu women wore flag shoes, and Manchu men wore boots. Most of the flag shoes were embedded with double beams, but some were sewed in cloud patterns with brocade, called "cloud shoes". Manchu women's shoes were divided into flat sole types and high sole types. Some of the high-sole shoes had the design of a "horse hoof".
There are many kinds of Tibetan boots, which can be roughly divided into 3 types: cow leather boots, corduroy boots, and woolen cotton boots. However, there is no difference between men and women's boots. They were only different in height and thickness.
Dong Tribe's Warped Head Shoes with Double Chain Stitch Embroidery · Contemporary.
The Dong tribe's embroidered warped head shoes, also called "hook shoes," had a pointed end like a ship's bow or an ox's horn, a symbol that payed respect to nature and animals. Many Chinese ethnic groups make symmetrical shoes. This simplifies the shoe-making process, and also reduces the difference in abrasion between the two sides caused by constant wearing.
Before the late Qing dynasty, the Ewenki people made all their clothes from animal skin, as they lived in a cold region and made use of animal husbandry. Their hide boots were warm, portable, and resilient. Walking with Ewenkian hide boots in snow and in mountains made only tiny sounds, which was helpful for hunting.
Ewenki people wear dog skin boots all year round. Generally the summer's boots are hairless. In winter, people put wula grass, one of the three treasures of Dongbei province, in their shoes to keep their feet warm.
Tu embroidery features delicate stitches, vibrant colors, compact woven structures, and is easy to preserve. Patterns on these shoes are mainly made by simple stiches using bright colors, and show the unique artistic attraction of the Tu people's embroidery. Rainbow-patterned decoration is usually on Tu women's clothing, and therefore the ethnic area in Qinghai province is known as the "rainbow town".
The cloud shoes, often with embroidered soles, are homemade cotton shoes which the Qiang people wear on holidays. The shoes represent love in Qiang's traditions.
The Hezhen ethnic group lives along the Songhua River, earning their livelihoods by fishing and hunting. Using fish skin to make clothing, including jackets, pants, bags, and shoes, is the Hezhen ethnic group's distinct traditional skill.
Ladies from the Bai tribe also have handmade shoe traditions.
As we can see, there are countless achievements of Chinese handcrafted art.

Rubin Observatory's First All-Virtual PCW
This is a representative photo compiled from various recent Rubin Observatory virtual meetings
August 18, 2020 - Rubin Observatory's very first all-virtual Project and Community Workshop (PCW) took place August 10-14, 2020, and it was a resounding success. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the first in-person PCW (then referred to as an all-hands meeting), which was held at the Dove Mountain resort in Tucson, AZ in 2010. That's the year—the week, in fact—that LSST was announced as the #1 priority in the Astronomy and Astrophysics Decadal Survey, and the 2010 meeting attendees celebrated the occasion with a champagne toast. The Rubin 2020 PCW might have been a bit short on champagne, but it was by far the most well-attended meeting to date, with more than 700 people registered, representing nearly every time-zone in the world! Each day's core sessions were conducted in English, and Rubin colleagues in Chile also presented daily in Spanish for all interested participants; topics for these sessions included specific parts of the project where hands-on work is performed by teams in Chile. All sessions at PCW 2020 were recorded and are available for viewing at this link.
The week kicked off with an overview plenary session, in which Rubin Construction Project Director Steven Kahn presented on subjects that included the recent renaming of Large Synoptic Survey Telescope to Vera C. Rubin Observatory, and an update on the Project's actions in response to this spring's #Strike4BlackLives and #ShutDownSTEM movements. Victor Krabbendam, Rubin Construction Project Manager, followed with a presentation on the Project's progress over the last year, and its current status, including the most current information about the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 construction shutdown.
Monday's schedule also included four parallel sessions. "An Introduction to Rubin Observatory: Systems, Jargon, and Acronyms" provided an overview on different aspects of the complex Rubin Observatory Project, highlighting additional resources. The Data Management team facilitated the "Rubin Algorithms Workshop Follow-up: Answers to Community Questions" session, which addressed questions raised by the Rubin Observatory Algorithms Workshop in March 2020. The final sessions of the day were "External Synergies for Rubin Community Science," in which participants discussed combining Rubin data with other facilities to expand the science that can be done during the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), and "Community Support for Science with Rubin Observatory," which introduced a new group, led by Melissa Graham, that will facilitate communications between Rubin and the science community during Rubin Operations: the Community Engagement Team (CET).
Tuesday's agenda began with four Lightning Stories, which have become a popular annual feature at the PCW. José Pinto, Nicole Auza, Glenaver Charles-Emerson, and Kevin Siruno introduced themselves to the project in short, pre-recorded videos, sharing highlights from their personal and professional lives. This was followed by a plenary panel session on Rubin Operations, in which the Operations leadership team gave short presentations and answered questions from participants.
The meeting's only significant technical issue occurred when attendees were blocked from logging into some of the ten parallel sessions for Rubin Research Bytes, a virtual substitute for the poster presentations given at the in-person workshop. Fortunately, comments on the #help Slack channel identified the scope of the problem quickly, as well as a collaborative solution (some session leaders switched to personal or institutional Zoom accounts) that enabled the talks to begin after only a short delay. Tuesday wrapped up with breakout sessions on Commissioning and Validation, and an In-kind Proposal Workshop. Participants engaged in lively discussions in both of these sessions; these discussions continued on Slack after the conclusion of the live events.
On Wednesday, meeting participants were treated to four more Lightning Stories, from Adam Thornton, Suzanne Jacoby, Chris Mendez, and Tiago Ribeiro. The morning plenary followed: Federica Bianco, Coordinator for the Rubin Observatory/LSST Science Collaborations, gave an overview of the eight Collaborations, including why scientists should consider joining them. Then, a representative from each Collaboration reported on its structure and activities and answered questions from attendees. Breakout sessions on Wednesday included Community Evaluation of Rubin Survey Strategies, a repeat of Tuesday's In-kind proposal workshop, and Community Preparation for Early Science with Rubin Observatory.
Dr. Brian Nord's keynote science talk on Thursday morning, "From Disruption, Opportunity: the current and future impact of AI on astronomy," was one of the biggest highlights of the week, drawing over 300 people on the live webinar. Brian began his talk with a description of the history and current state of AI and its applications for astronomy, and ended with a stark warning about the societal dangers that AI could enable (and in some cases, is already enabling), if we don't take action to disrupt current societal structures and power dynamics.
An update on the development of Community Alert Brokers, who will help enable user science with the Rubin Alert Stream, and a session on LSST Corporation fundraising efforts followed the morning plenary. The final sessions of the day were "Low Surface Brightness Science with Rubin Observatory data", and an interactive Education and Public Outreach session in which participants were invited to test out, and provide feedback about, the Formal Education investigations that the EPO team is currently developing.
Friday began with a well-attended session, "A Roadmap to a more Just, Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive Rubin Observatory," that introduced the Theory of Change framework as a way of identifying actionable steps towards a high-level goal, and sparked discussions that will continue in other channels (including #inclusion on LSSTC Slack) after the workshop. Two parallel sessions followed: The LSST Corporation facilitated "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in New Programs," and the Stack Club hosted "New Science Platform Tutorials." The workshop then concluded with a session in which the Session Chairs presented a short summary from each session.
Many thanks to the Program Organizing Committee, led by Ranpal Gill, and the Scientific Organizing Committee, led by Melissa Graham, for making Rubin 2020 a productive and successful virtual meeting! We're all hopeful that next year's PCW can be an in-person event; it is currently scheduled for August 9-13, 2021, in Tucson, Arizona.

Soulfly new single 'Dead Behind The Eyes'
il Settembre 15, 2018
Soulfly release video for the new single 'Dead Behind The Eyes'
Metal icons SOULFLY are set to release their devastating new album "Ritual", on October 19 via Nuclear Blast. Today, the band has released a visualizer for the brand new single "Dead Behind The Eyes". The song features guest vocals from LAMB OF GOD singer Randy Blythe with lyrics inspired by the Cenobites, the extra-dimensional beings created by Clive Barker made popular by the "Hellraiser" film series.
Get the single here: http://nblast.de/SoulflyDeadBehindEyes
Listen to it in Nuclear Blast Novelties playlist: http://nblast.de/SpotifyNovelties
http://nblast.de/AppleMusicNovelties
Vocalist/guitarist Max Cavalera commented in a recent interview with Sweden's RockSverige: "It was really cool. [Randy is] really tight with [producer] Josh [Wilbur] and Josh has done all the LAMB OF GOD stuff, and he was working on the BURN THE PRIEST record, so I just told Josh to give him the tracks and, 'Show them to him, and if there's anything he likes, if he wants to sing on it, it's all cool.' I didn't have a song for him, so he showed him everything and what Josh told me was that they were listening to it, and the minute that song came on, it was nicknamed 'Bruiser Brothers', and the minute he heard it, it was, like, 'That's it! This is the one! I don't wanna hear anything else.' I had already written the lyrics, so I sent him all my lyrics and it was just good to have the Randy voice on it. He's got a real distinctive voice, really unique and that's what I like about guys like him. It's very original and you know it's him."
"That song, the vocal pattern is really based on [SEPULTURA's 1987 album] Schizophrenia and 'From The Past Comes The Storm'. It's totally influenced by that. When I worked on the song, I worked with my son Zyon and he was listening to Beneath The Remains and asking me about songs like 'Stronger Than Hate' and all those parts and mesmerized by it, and I was, like, 'You know what? Let's challenge this! Let's make a song like that!' So I started working with him and added all those parts and it has one of my favorite guitar solos of Marc Rizzo. I gave him a whole section. It was crafted like Ride The Lightning era. You've got this solid rhythm behind the leads, which not many people do. It can be kind of a headache to put it together and it might take a little time, but I think the final result is fucking awesome."
Max went on to say that he is hoping to make a video for "Dead Behind The Eyes", "especially if we can get Randy in it too, and we'd have all of us dress up as 'Hellraiser' characters from the movie. I think that would be fucking fantastic."
»Ritual« was produced, recorded and mixed by Josh Wilbur (KILLER BE KILLED, LAMB OF GOD, GOJIRA). Cover artwork was painted by artist Eliran Kantor (TESTAMENT, ICED EARTH, SODOM).
Additional booklet art was handled by Marcelo Vasco (SLAYER, HATEBREED, KREATOR), who also handled the package design. The album features multiple guests including Randy Blythe (LAMB OF GOD) and Ross Dolan (IMMOLATION).

COUNCIL OF THE AMERICAS DEMOCRACY ECONOMY SOVEREIGNTY THINK TANKS UNITED STATES
Collusion: Brasil's Executive, Legislative & Judiciary Lunch With Investors At Bank Of America
A lunch meeting between Brazil's Speaker of the House of Representatives, Head of the Senate, Minister of the Supreme Court Dias Toffoli, Governor of São Paulo João Dória with foreign investors in a US bank, exposes the collusion of the three Powers, and the abuses of Brazilian democracy. Absent, although represented by the other Powers: President Bolsonaro & Finance Minister Paulo Guedes.
by Nadia Comani, Defend Democracy in Brazil Committee / New York.
Speaker of the Lower House Rodrigo Maia and Federal Supreme Court Chief Justice José Antonio Dias Toffoli disembarked from the same car in front of the Bank of America tower in New York early in the afternoon of May 13. Together, the judge and the Representative went to lunch with the so-called foreign investors at the bank's headquerters. Not even a thought about the bad impression that would give seeing representatives of separate Powers so close together, or about the bias for the highest position in the Judiciary, meeting with foreign financial stakeholders. In the audience, many Brazilians (some arriving straight from the airport, with luggage and everything) as it became evident with Portuguese spoken in the lobby of the building. Incidentally, some attentive ears would hear comments on the bill for the reform of the national pension system, which is being discussed at the congress, and rolling back rights for the poorest. "It's difficult," one said. "Will it pass?" , asked another.
This is the number one task that Park Avenue and Wall Street executives want to cross out, as soon as possible. About 120 of them sat down in round tables facing the main rectangular table, which also brought together the Head of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre, and the Governor of São Paulo, João Dória. A lunch which, in its official agenda, should also have had the presence of President Jair Messias Bolsonaro and his Minister of Finances Paulo Guedes. Their absence, caused by the protests we led earlier this month, with a coalition of several American groups, was discussed after lunch.
Representative Rodrigo Maia tried to give the impression that it did not make any difference whether they were physically present or not. They could very well participate actively in the important agendas of the country anywhere: whether in New York, Dallas, Sao Paulo, Brasilia … Obviously, a reference to the fact that Bolsonaro failed to come to New York to receive the "Person of the Year" award, given by the Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce, at the Natural History Museum, which quickly jumped out of the ceremony this year.
Daily protests by more than 14 groups of activists, and four major NGOs, sponsorships canceled by at least four major corporations, and the open and direct statements of New York Mayor Bill de Blasio have made Bolsonaro's presence in New York absolutely unfeasible , and conspicuously undesired. One of the petitions, initiated by State Senator Brad Hoylman, whose jurisdiction falls on the Times Square district, has reached 82,000 signatures against the award, whicht will be announced tonight at the Marriott Hotel, as it was the only space that accepted to embrace the event, contradicting their inclusion values, and ignoring a large number of their clients outcry. The actress Debra Messing, even asked for a boycott to the network of hotels in one of her tweets.
The group of politicians and the judge of the Federal Supreme Court took part in the luncheon with the purpose of trying to erase this bad image. "When you come and have the participation of the Speaker of the Lower House, Head of the Senate, Governor Doria and the Minister of the Supreme Court, you are saying: our institutions are functioning and supporting our system and ensuring that what is approved by the legislature will be backed by the system, " said Rodrigo Maia.
But what is obvious is just the opposite. If all this mis-en-scène is necessary to prove that the system works, that democracy works, (and that is where the Powers are mixed, instead of separating them, as good democracy calls for, and the true Rule of Law demands), it is a clear sign that there is a lot of distrust, and why not say plainly, much collusion evident out there.
The Head of the Senate Davi Alcolumbre went even further: "We showed investors that Brazil will become a State capable of controlling public finances again, of generating jobs and reducing the State's bureaucracy. This week, we came to present in New York the Brazil that we are building. " It is a clear sign that Brazil has indeed been destroyed and that it has to be re-presented to a group of Brazilian investors, and some foreigners, in an attempt of dubious and even scandalous "re-construction" on a rainy day in New York.

Pałac Wolsztyński – zabytkowy pałac oraz park nad Jeziorem Wolsztyńskim. Znajduje się w centrum miasta Wolsztyn (woj. wielkopolskie, powiat wolsztyński, gmina Wolsztyn).

Historia

Pałac Wolsztyński został zbudowany w 1845 roku dla Apolinarego Gajewskiego herbu Ostoja (charakter neorenesansowy). W roku 1890 nowym właścicielem Wolsztyna został hrabia Stefan Mycielski. Roger Sławski przebudował pałac dla aktualnego właściciela w 1911 roku (charakter neoklasyczny). W wyniku pożaru w 1945r. został spalony i odbudowywany był przez dwa lata w 1960-62, niestety bez odtworzenia zabytkowych wnętrz przez co pałac pełnił rolę "Domu Turysty". Obecnie pałac jest odrestaurowany - budynek o rzucie wydłużonego prostokąta. Nakrywa go niski dwuspadowy dach. Zwieńczony jest piękną tralkową attyką, a jego frontową fasadę zdobi sześciokolumnowy portyk o pseudojońskich kolumnach, z trójkątnym tympanonem u góry, w którym umieszczono tarcze z herbami Dołęga i Korzbok.

Położenie
Park pałacowy położony jest nad jeziorem Wolsztyńskim. Założony został na przełomie XVII/XVIII wieku. W XVII wieku drzewostan służył w celach rekreacyjnych oraz miał zwrócić uwagę na właściciela pałacu. Na przełomie XVIII/XIX wieku pojawiły się aleje lipowe oraz grabowe, do czego przyczynił się Aleksander Gajewski. Następni właściciele nie zmieniali formy parku. Ograniczali się tylko do sadzenia ozdobnych drzew oraz krzewów. Po wojnie pielęgnowano tylko cześć przy pałacu, przez co wymarły cenne rodzaje drzew. Niestety nasadzone drzewa, które nigdy nie powinny znaleźć się w drzewostanie parkowym np. topole, klony jesionolistne i jesiony. Prowadzone od 1993 r. prace porządkujące drzewostan, mają m.in. na celu zniwelowanie szkód poczynionych przez nierozważne nasadzenia. Obecnie park ma charakter krajobrazowy.
Jezioro Wolsztyńskie jest jednym z jezior tzw. rynny wolsztyńskiej połączonych rzeką Dojcą. Powierzchnia wynosi 124,4 ha. Jest bardzo płytkie, a dno mało urozmaicone. Ma wydłużony kształt oraz linię brzegową. Brzegi są zabagnione. Na środku jeziora znajduje się wyspa "Tumidaj" o powierzchni 1,3 ha. Północny brzeg jeziora jest miejscem gniazdowania licznych rzadkich i ginących gatunków ptaków, m.in. rybitwy czarnej, zausznika, remiza, czernicy i łabędzia niemego. W parku nad jeziorem znajduje się plaża, kąpielisko, i pomost.

Pomniki przyrody
 Dęby o obwodzie do 4,6 m
 Buki o obwodzie do 3,6 m
 Jesiony o obwodzie do 3,5 m
 Topola kanadyjska o obwodzie 5,2 m
 Miłorząb japoński o obwodzie 1,6 m
Na jednym z dębów Marcin Rożek (zamieszkujący w Wolsztynie, sławny rzeźbiarz oraz malarz) wyrzeźbił głowy Meduzy i Fauna. Niestety przez stan drzewa w 1994 roku rzeźby przekazano do muzeum poświęconego autorowi i zastąpiono je kopiami.

The rebellious spirit of Matthew Maguire's first Labor Day is spreading again across our country. Join the parade!
"More Than Just a Day at the Beach"; Texas populist Jim Hightower is the writer and editor of The Hightower Lowdown.
It's a bit odd that in America's thoroughly corporatized culture, we have no national day of honor for the Captains of Industry, and yet we do have one for working stiffs: Labor Day! Where did it come from? Who gave this day off to laboring people? History books that bother mentioning Labor Day at all usually credit president Grover Cleveland with its creation: He signed a law in July 1894 that proclaimed a holiday for workers in Washington, DC, and the federal territories.
Cleveland? Holy Mother Jones! He was an extreme laissez-faire conservative, a "Bourbon Democrat" who never lifted a presidential pinkie to ameliorate the plight of exploited workers. To the contrary, in that same month of 1894, Cleveland enshrined himself in labor's Hall of Eternal Infamy: At the behest of robber baron George Pullman and other railroad tycoons, he ordered some 12,000 US Army troops to crush the historic Pullman Strike, which was being led by union icon Eugene V. Debs. Thirty workers were killed, Debs was arrested on trumped-up charges of conspiracy, and all workers who supported the strike were fired and blacklisted.
Far from being a gift to workers, Cleveland's recognition of Labor Day was a desperate political ploy to mollify the anger of the union movement he had just decimated. He and his Democratic Party rushed the federal holiday into law only days after his military assault on Pullman strikers.
In fact, this day was not "given" by anyone in power — it was taken by laborers themselves. In a bottom-up act of democratic audacity, this was our first national holiday to be put on the calendar by ordinary people. And they were not doing it just to get a day at the beach, but to get into the faces of power.
The CLU agreed and set the date of Tuesday, September 5, for a "Mammoth Festival, Parade and Pic-Nic." Adding to the audacity, the union council unilaterally declared that the day was to be a holiday for all workers who wanted to leave their jobs and join the action. Doing so was beyond bold, for it could get them fired — the bosses ruled workplaces with an iron hand, compelling twelve-hour days, six days a week, for $2 a day.
But ridicule only leads to debilitating cynicism and surrender — the exact opposite of the rebellious spirit that created Labor Day and exactly the defeatist spirit that the corporate order thrives on. So rather than sinking into the murky waters of pessimism, let's notice that (1) our modern-day George Pullmans and Grover Clevelands have created a new Gilded Age of gross inequities and worker exploitation, and (2) that this is sparking a rising new rebelliousness among all sorts of workers. In fact, the spirit of Matthew Maguire's Labor Day is spreading again across our country, and a grassroots social justice movement is emergent.
The day culminated with a frolicking festival attended by 25,000 at Elm Park, which included the city's biggest beer garden, a dance pavilion, playgrounds for children, and ample picnic areas. (Note to present-day organizers: If you want people to turn out, follow this 1882 model of providing beer, music, food, and fun — so people will want to come.) Sure enough, as the 10 a.m. start time approached, only 80 union members had mustered at City Hall. But then came a faint sound of horns and drums — 200 members of the jewelers union from Newark were just minutes away, coming with a 35-piece marching band! This small starter group kicked off the parade, and after a few blocks 400 bricklayers merged with them from a side street, moving in step behind wagons bearing artistic arches of brick as testaments to their skills. At nearly every cross street, more marchers joined: longshoremen in checkered jumpers; frame makers wearing beaver hats, carrying huge axes, and escorting a large wagon proudly displaying furniture the framers produced; cigar makers with red banners, a red-sashed official, and a singing society belting out ballads; and piano makers marching with a float bearing one of their trade's well-crafted instruments and a union member enthusiastically pounding out tunes. Thousands of workers paraded — row after row of laborers, marching six abreast with verve for miles through what was then the most ostentatious corridor of wealth and power in the United States.
President Grover Cleveland defended 19th century robber barons who didn't want to pay decent wages and benefits.
And modern day robber barons, such as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, don't want to pay market-rate salaries and benefits to foreign-born workers. This is coming despite fifty years of hearing the corporate mantra that unions are passé, fusty relics no longer needed. The modern world of work, they chant, is no longer the brutish place it was in the early days of industrialization, but instead is a sophisticated, widely prosperous entrepreneurial economy of high-tech and service-based work that rewards individual initiative. Here's a typical version of the mantra from a CBS MoneyWatch commentator: What a slap-happy planet he lives on! There's no need for workers to unite for their own protection and advancement because individuals can count on the generosity of the corporate hierarchy for fair treatment. And if any unpleasantness does arise, you can just hire a lawyer or a lobbyist to get justice from the worker-friendly court system and the always-helpful regulatory agencies. That's easier said than done. Even though public approval ratings for unions are on the rise — according to a Gallup poll released this August, 58 percent of Americans approve of unions — the deck is outrageously stacked against those who try organizing unions in their workplaces. Not only do corporate executives, financiers, politicians, and the media almost always oppose a union drive, but national labor law itself has been perverted during the past three decades into a corporate joker that now plays as the anti-labor law. Nonetheless, through existing unions, union-affiliated organizations, and populist coalitions that focus on worker issues, America's grassroots have come alive with organizing campaigns to reverse the rampant inequities and abuses being perpetuated every day by the plutocratic powers. The Hightower Lowdown newspaper has been covering and supporting many of these uplifting working-class rebellions: Fast food workers and the "Fight for $15," adjunct college professors, Moral Monday, a Grand Alliance to Save Our Public Postal Service, National People's Action, Black Lives Matter, Working Families Party, Amazon workers, Occupy Wall Street, Our Walmart, United Workers Congress, and opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The H-1B and H-2 PeopleTwo distinct groups of foreign workers are being brought here under special US visas to be (Warning: ridiculous Orwellian euphemism straight ahead) "Guest Workers." Both sets of guests are imported for one reason: to inflate the bottom lines of powerful, very profitable corporations by giving them a cheap, easily exploitable workforce. This artificially distorts the labor supply, suppresses wages, and redistributes income from the many to a rich few. Our "guests" tend to be treated as the indentured servants of their corporate sponsors. In a stunning new report this July titled "The New American Slavery," Buzzfeed.com found that H-2 workers are commonly cheated on pay, made to work extremely long hours with no overtime wages, forced to pay illegal fees, housed in squalid and dehumanizing conditions (such as horse trailers), sexually harassed, not allowed to travel, and kept under constant surveillance by employers and local police. Why doesn't the government do something to stop these outrages? Because Congress protects corporations, not people. Even though the Labor Department, which administers H-2 visas, found violations of the guest worker law in 82 percent (!) of the cases it investigated last year, Congress funds so few investigators and enforcement agents that the vast majority of companies bringing foreign workers to our Land of the Free are not monitored. If a company is prosecuted, fines are minor, and even repeat violators can keep getting new workers through the program. Almost none of the abusers are ever charged with a crime.
H-2: Low-tech labor. The government's H-2 visa category is a boon to corporations dependent on manual labor but unwilling to pay high enough wages to attract US workers. The handy H-2 "rent-a-worker" program lets these companies import more than 100,000 low-wage workers a year from impoverished communities in Latin America, Asia, and elsewhere. The workers clean rooms in luxury resorts, peel crawfish in seafood plants, do the sweaty things for landscape outfits, and otherwise toil at our economy's bottom rung, usually paid minimally (or less) by companies that profit from their labor.
Anyone still believing that workplace atrocities are things of the past needs to meet some of the immigrants in our country — and not just undocumented workers. Much more attention should be given to the outright abuse of people who not only have the proper paperwork, but who are actually corporate-sponsored.
Such uprisings now exist in practically every zip code — from Silicon Valley to most college campuses, from day laborers gathered at your local Home Depot to nannies in the homes of the rich. New groups are popping up regularly, as unorganized, maltreated people not only get fed up, but also see other groups standing up, getting organized, and showing the way. Moreover, with the One-Percenters grabbing ever more for themselves at our expense, America's political zeitgeist has shifted against the grabbers and for the populist rebels. From Pope Francis to Bernie Sanders, the call for new egalitarian policies to advance the ethic of the common good is resonating with people who only a few years ago passively accepted corporate dominance.
But no matter how hard the "unions-are-obsolete" propaganda is pushed, there's one truth it can't overcome: Real life. The majority of Americans have now had personal experiences with the loss of jobs, income, homes, pensions, middle-class possibilities — and power. Corporations view workers (now including white-collar professionals) not as assets, but as costs to be cut and then disposed of as soon as possible. Corporate greed has knocked down, held down, and stomped on so many workaday people that wage earners are realizing anew that their only hope is to organize.
Illustration by Brian Duffy This phenomenally rich industry is presently allowed to bring 65,000 foreign workers to their campuses each year. In violation of federal laws, the corporations do not "make every effort" to find qualified US employees before seeking H1-B workers, nor do they pay the prevailing US salary to these workers. The temporary visa holders generally don't get promotions or retirement benefits, and after being used for three years or so, they're sent back home to be replaced by a new batch of disposable foreigners. Meanwhile, industry lobbyists are demanding that Congress triple the number of high-tech workers they can import each year. Chiseled into the marble facade of the US Supreme Court building is this noble sentiment: "Equal justice under law." But most Americans today know that there's no use hoping that the next president, the Congress, or the courts will turn our country's egalitarian pretensions into fact. Only you and I can do that by building, step by step, a grassroots social justice movement. The good news is that various progressive campaigns and coalitions are out there, building and beginning to unite into a whole much bigger than its separate parts. In the spirit of that first Labor Day, let's take heart in this rising rebelliousness, join the parade, and take part in lifting our society closer to America's highest democratic ideals. The guest worker visa program not only leaves foreign workers subject to exploitation and abuse, but the program also undermines pay and working conditions for many American citizens. The National Guestworker Alliance advocates to end the abuses of the H-2 and H1-B visa programs. A recent op-ed by NGA's executive director in Washington's The Hill newspaper imagines the lives of guest workers at Donald Trump's ritzy Mar-A-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida. According to US Department of Labor records, the would-be "greatest jobs president" has obtained some 350 visas for H-2B waitstaff, cooks, and housekeepers since 2009. And for tools to help organize change at your own workplace, check out Coworker.org. Launched in 2013, Coworker aims to make it easy for individuals or groups of employees to launch, join, and win campaigns to improve their workplace.
High-tech execs insist they wouldn't think of misusing the program to fluff up their own profits, but — oops — just this year it's been revealed that both Disney Inc. and Southern California Edison have fired hundreds of their US technology employees after getting the okay to import temporary foreign workers. Then the corporations required the displaced Americans to train their replacements as a price of getting severance pay.
H-1B: High-tech labor. At the opposite end of the guest-worker scheme are visas reserved for brand-name corporate giants wanting to import college-educated workers with specialized information-technology skills. But wait — don't we have a lot of top-notch IT specialists born and raised on our own soil? And aren't the high-tech fields of science-technology-engineering-math (STEM) a priority of the US educational system, already producing twice as many university graduates as there are jobs? Yes and yes. But the royals of high tech — companies such as Facebook, Google, Hewlett Packard, Intel, and Microsoft — don't want to pay the market rate of salaries, benefits, and promotions that good IT employees can command. So to break the workers' power, the industry's PR specialists first concocted a "crisis" by screeching that America's educational system fails to produce the number and quality of STEM graduates that their corporations must have, thus creating a brainpower shortage that threatens tech innovation. Second, their lobbyists, using ample campaign donations as a lubricant, keep convincing Congress that the only solution to this national emergency is to let the corporations import more tech workers from abroad.

Just as Microsoft Azure gains traction against major competitors including Amazon Web Services, users today reported a worldwide outage that brought down businesses for hours.
Microsoft Azure's credibility as a reliable cloud platform took a shot to the ribs this week as many customers across the globe reported widespread outages shortly after midnight GMT on Nov. 19.
The outage knocked many online businesses offline, including several of Microsoft's Azure-based services such as Microsoft Office 365, Visual Studio Online, OneDrive for Business, the Windows Store and Xbox Live.
Microsoft released a statement early this morning that the company was "investigating an issue affecting access to some Microsoft services," and that they were "working to restore full access to these services as quickly as possible."
The issue has been mitigated for North Europe, but Microsoft continues to address issues impacting some virtual machine customers in West Europe, who see their VMs in a continual "Start state", or can't connect to their VMs, according to an update on the Azure Status site.
A source close to Microsoft, who wished to remain anonymous, said the outage was "big" but was "mostly" resolved by 1:00 a.m. ET. The source admitted, however, that there was some "overhang" in Europe this morning that has been largely resolved.
Users in the U.S. and overseas, however, continued to report their online operations were still not up and had difficulty connecting to a variety of Microsoft and non-Microsoft services.
How much this shakes user confidence in Azure remains to be seen. Over the past year, Microsoft's cloud platform has taken share from its main rival, Amazon Web Services, as well as from Google. But some users are upset that it took the company too long to officially respond to the Azure outage as well as its duration.
"The poor communication from Microsoft was the biggest fail," said David Maas, a systems administrator with WoonInvest, a real estate company based in the Netherlands. "All statuses in the Azure portal were all green, but none of the VMs worked and that was 14 hours long. We will reconsider our cloud strategy."
Maas said his company hosts its Active Directory Federation Services and Office 365 environment on Azure, which is based in Western Europe, as well as half of its VM on-premises operation.
"So, whatever happened with our on-premises infrastructure, [we would] always [have] access to our Office365 environment," Maas added. "That was the idea."
Many Azure users took to Twitter to complain about how long it took Microsoft's Azure team to correct the problem.
"All our online services are available! Servers are back and run well again. [Eight hours] of maintenance, thank you," said one sarcastic tweet.
for the record, MS isn't taking share from google because google is a distant 3rd in the cloud race. :) look at gartnet magic quadrants. google isn't even on it. only AWS and azure, both which go down occasionally have the market.

Not Telling Truth Fosters "Anti-Semitism", Perpetrator New York Times Reveals… Unwittingly
The Holocaust, World War Two and the Ascent of Hitler were rendered possible by US plutocracy. Said differently, with the same content: if US plutocracy had opposed Nazism, it would not have happened. It was simple: line up with the French Republic in 1933. Instead the USA, led by FDR, opposed France, and then pushed for something called "isolationism", a fig leaf to hide US pro-Nazi feelings.
Some, who don't even the know the basics that not only does history repeats itself, but sometimes, it just keeps on going, just the same as before, with different mask and lip service, will scoff, because they don't realize it's more of the same now.
New York Times had a flicker of self-consciousness today;
"The Times published an appalling political cartoon in the opinion pages of its international print edition late last week. It portrayed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel as a dog wearing a Star of David on a collar. He was leading President Trump, drawn as a blind man wearing a skullcap… such an obviously bigoted cartoon in a mainstream publication is evidence of a profound danger — not only of anti-Semitism but of numbness to its creep, to the insidious way this ancient, enduring prejudice is once again working itself into public view and common conversation."
What a contrast 2 years make… New York Times, 2 days before the election of Trump, had proclaimed that Trump was "Anti Semitic"… Something obviously in total conflict with reality (Trump beloved daughter had married an orthodox Jew and converted to Judaism…). Anything to support hatred… Hatred for Trump, yes, but, more generally love for hatred in general…
Yes, well, the most insidious creep, the most enduring prejudice, is indifference to truth, and the search thereof. That's the main reason for civilizational collapse. Yes, it happened before, dozens of times. However, this time is different: the biosphere will follow.
New York Times: "For decades, most American Jews felt safe to practice their religion, but now they pass through metal detectors to enter synagogues and schools. Jews face even greater hostility and danger in Europe, where the cartoon was created. In Britain, one of several members of Parliament who resigned from the Labour Party in February said that the party had become "institutionally anti-Semitic." In France and Belgium, Jews have been the targets of terrorist attacks by Muslim extremists. …
This is also a period of rising criticism of Israel, much of it directed at the rightward drift of its own government and some of it even questioning Israel's very foundation as a Jewish state… anti-Zionism can clearly serve as a cover for anti-Semitism — and some criticism of Israel, as the cartoon demonstrated, is couched openly in anti-Semitic terms…"
"Funny Papers". 1940 Anti Jewish propaganda on left, 2019 Anti Jewish propaganda on the right
I sent a comment to the New York Times, which censored it. Here it is:
"Anti-Semitism" is too vague a term. It is important to have precise terms. What people generally means by "Anti-Semitism" is, truly, "Anti-Judaism".
Nowadays, the most strident Anti-Judaism comes from a religion established by Semites… who were inspired by Judaism, but then insisted that the Jews had not respected the god of Abraham found in the Bible.
What are the roots of Anti-Judaism? They seem to be multiple, but that may be an illusion. The Roman Republic recognized the state of Israel, and presented itself as the guarantor of its independence to the rest of the Middle East. However, Rome then became a fascist empire, and subjugating the Jews culminated in the Judean War (66-73 CE). During which time the Gospels were written, which some view as Flavian propaganda (the three Flavian emperors rule finished with the assassination of Domitian). They were not favorable to the Jews. The Jewish temple was destroyed. Two subsequent revolts made matters worse. Jews were interdicted in Jerusalem.
Emperor Julian ordered (in 363 CE) the return of the Jews and the reconstruction of the Jewish Temple. However, he was assassinated by a Christian soldier. After that a Christian dictatorship was established, with "heresy" subjected to the death penalty. All Christian sects were annihilated, except for imperially defined Catholicism… And Judaism.
Next, Islam was invented, and was meant to be closer to the true word of God than Christianism, and Judaism, the latter being viewed as even more deviant. The basic texts of Islam (Quran, Hadith) are generally insulting to Judaism, and even lethally threatening.
New York Times: "Both right-wing and left-wing politicians have traded in incendiary tropes, like the ideas that Jews secretly control the financial system or politicians."
PA: If it were secret, they won't know about it… (Hahaha)
New York Times: "…most anti-Semitic assaults, and incidents of harassment and the vandalism of Jewish community buildings and cemeteries, are not carried out by the members of extremist groups. Instead, the perpetrators are hate-filled individuals.
In the 1930s and the 1940s, The Times was largely silent as anti-Semitism rose up and bathed the world in blood. That failure still haunts this newspaper. Now, rightly, The Times has declared itself "deeply sorry" for the cartoon and called it "unacceptable." Apologies are important, but the deeper obligation of The Times is to focus on leading through unblinking journalism and the clear editorial expression of its values."
Yes, sure. Which values at the New York Times, exactly? The Nazis, too, had "values". Values so valuable to them, they died for them in large numbers. So tell me, NYT, why did you censor my preceding comment? Apparently your values include values intolerant of to the truth and reality I expressed.
New York Times: "Society in recent years has shown healthy signs of increased sensitivity to other forms of bigotry, yet somehow anti-Semitism can often still be dismissed as a disease gnawing only at the fringes of society. That is a dangerous mistake. As recent events have shown, it is a very mainstream problem.
As the world once again contends with this age-old enemy, it is not enough to refrain from empowering it. It is necessary to stand in opposition."
Not only did the USA not stand in opposition against Hitler (until Hitler attacked the USA), the US political class, media and the US mighty corporations and plutocratic class empowered Hitler… Sometimes throughout the war (some US corporations helped Hitler throughout the entire war, unbelievably enough; IBM went smoothly from ensuring its 35 German plants gave Nazism the organizational computing power it needed, all the way to 8 May 1945, to providing official translation of the Nuremberg tribunal proceedings… None of the 35 IBM plants was targeted in US precision bombing… nor were hundreds of other US owned plants. That was particularly blatant in Cologne: the city was thoroughly destroyed by US bombing on one side of the Rhine, whereas kilometers of US plants were intact on the other….).
Picture found in NYT, before they read my second censored comment, and removed it… When in doubt, accuse the French, it's always safe and satisfying… Especially when they are right.
I sent another comment to the NYT for the further instruction of its deluded editorial board. I knew they were going to censor it. The point was to teach them something, supposing they can learn it (hope springs eternal). Here it is:
The New York Times illustrated its "anti-Semitic" description with a picture in France. That, implicitly suggests the phenomenon is stronger in France than elsewhere. However, historically was not the case; in 1939-1940, France accepted hundreds of thousand of Jewish refugees, and the USA, none. France also declared war against the Nazis, Sept 3, 1939. The USA did not, making the Holocaust possible (Hitler declared war to the USA, Dec 11, 1941).
I sent a comment retracing how Rome launched Anti-Judaism, because of the fascist empire, and that was extended by the Roman state religion, Christianism… And that the same Anti-Judaic theme was extended by Islamism.
The NYT censored my comment… although I told the strict truth, and the Times itself admitted it did not behave well in the past, by NOT telling the truth. It is indeed the highest US authorities in media and politics which denied the Holocaust early in WWII when it could have been prevented it by helping France. Your present attitude is more of the same. Luther wrote strident texts against the Jews, wishing for their torture. Islam in its fundamental texts is lethally anti-Judaic.
This is Hadith 41;6985: "Allah's Messenger: The last hour would NOT COME UNLESS the Muslims will FIGHT AGAINST THE JEWS and the MUSLIMS WOULD KILL THEM until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree, and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and KILL HIM…"[1]
You will censor my comment, though it is depicts the exact truth. So doing you think that you are wise, because you appease, by lying. Lying by omission is still lying. This is exactly what the US media did in 1939-41, making the Holocaust possible.
Amusingly, the New York Times did receive my comment and thought about it… because it removed the Anti-French picture they illustrated their story with, and replaced it by the lighting of candles… Not France implicitly accused anymore… I guess, even the NYT can learn a few things about itself…
[1]: How much more horrendously hateful can one be as in this Hadith (which is repeated several times with micro variations, in the most basic Hadith texts)? This is allowable in fiction. However, in all too many mosques, and houses, this is taught as a basic fact of the universe.
Nota Bene: The essay above was posted May 1, US time. After publication, I discovered my first comment was posted (very belatedly, and well after the second comment was sent to the NYT). The second comment, more accusing, was not published. It seems it let to publication of the first… So I look like a liar now… Games…

Nazism: A Paradigm
Some cackle that whenever one mentions Nazism, one has lost the debate (Godwin's Law). Verily, of chickens today we talk.
Is the idea that nothiAdd Mediang compare to you, oh, Nazism? As in love songs? Nothing compares to Nazism, oh (my love?) Assuredly we are living in strange times. Yet, reality is even stranger.
Nazism, for want of a better word, is firmly anchored in the German mood, from way back. So much for Nazism being an "accident", caused by "one" gangster, Hitler, who made Germans kill, purely accidentally and without any inclination to do so, 70 million people (make that more than 100 million, when counting the first round, World War One, and associated distraction, like exterminating Native Namibians).
The first pogroms of the Middle Ages started when the herds of Crusaders, during the First Crusade, reached German speaking lands. (Although the Crusade was launched from French speaking areas, and this, by the Pope, personally.)
Luther made countless declarations calling to burn Jews, destroy them, torture them, and rejoice in their lamentations: "I wish and I ask that our rulers who have Jewish subjects. . . act like a good physician who, when gangrene has set proceeds without mercy to cut, saw, and burn flesh, veins, bone and marrow. Such a procedure must also be followed in this instance. Burn down their synagogues, forbid all that I enumerated earlier, force them to work, and deal harshly with them, as Moses did in the wilderness, slaying three thousand lest the whole people perish."
This murderously racist, not just racist, mood persisted, over centuries: Prussia had anti-Jewish (and also anti-Polish) laws, in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth centuries.
Geeks who subscribe to Godwin's Principle will never know any of that, as they will declare that their history professors have lost the debate, as soon as they mentioned Nazism.
Meanwhile, geeks are preparing to make us all slaves of skynet. They can now take control of cars at a distance. Something I experienced years ago when, more than once, uninvited forces took control of computers of mine at a distance, big time.
That obscurantism of making Nazism incomparable, never to mention it, that God Win Law, is well named: Let me please introduce GOD, who is all about ignorance, that's how those who promote him WIN.
The Godwin Law is strong in the USA. This encourages young Americans not to enquire about the troubling pattern of USA based plutocracy in supporting Hitler.
Let me put it in one sentence: if the USA had helped the French Republic by declaring war to Hitler in 1939, or in the first half of 1940, neither the Holocaust, nor the full horror of World War Two would have happened. That is, of course, a terrible revelation. It is a more comfortable strategy to block the conversation before it starts.
Geeks spend all day programming, they have to replace the culture they never had, with a cute appearance, in search of some intellectual dignity. Deliberate buffoonery masquerading as superior wisdom, enables them to cover-up their crass ignorance, especially to themselves.
Once again, in connection with their attempt to build Skynet, the not-so mythical system where machines control everything (as found in the movie Terminator), and their demonstrated past relation with NSA and other occult organizations, this is quite troubling.
If nothing compares to the worst baddies, so they should never be mentioned, will geeks extend their desinvolte courtesy to banksters? Mention banksters, people, and you have lost the debate? This is de facto what is happening: Greece is all over the Main Stream Media, but the connection between said crisis, and its genesis in banking, rarely mentioned.
The original name of god in Hebrew was: The-One-whose-Name-Shall-Not-Be-Uttered. Thus by refusing to name Nazism, one makes it divine, in the old biblical way.
I propose the exact opposite. I propose Nazism is a paradigm of nationalism and socialism gone wrong. I propose that Nazism was the culmination of a process.
I propose that much of the German mood was Nazi, from 1815 to 1945. At the very least (considering Luther, it should rather be, from 1515 to 1945). After all, the racist and vicious "legal" crackdown on the Jews started in 1815, after French rule was terminated (and Europe broken by an economic system that benefited Britain).
(That Germany did not really exist in 1815, is besides the point: German speaking areas existed, and Metternich, in cooperation with Prussia, set up the anti-Jewish (Nazi) laws.)
If I am correct and Germany was Nazi from 1815 until 1945, refusing to talk about Nazism is refusing to talk about Germany, from 1815 to 1945. How to buttress my case?
Bismarck had a strong socialist bend. He imposed national health care on Germany in 1863. He was also an expansionary nationalist successfully attacking Denmark, Austria, France, while keeping Poland under the Prussian boot. The German dictatorship lived very well while treating the Jews badly.
By 1900 CE, the principle of mistreating people for their (alleged or not) race had been generalized to a holocaust in South-West Africa, of a type never seen before. How come? Maybe the cult of Kant explains much. Kant was, in practice a racist and an enslaver. That was Kant's most practical impact: he advised European and American politicians to enslave inferior races. : "The yellow Indians do have a meagre talent. The Negroes are far below them, and at the lowest point are a part of the American people."
In 1914, the Germans launched a world war outright, thus committing the exact crime which condemned the rich wine merchant (and foreign minister) Von Ribbentrop to hang slowly at Nuremberg. Germans also committed, during their blunt attack many other war crimes. Enough to hang most of the top German generals, at the same justice been applied in 1919 as in 1945. The worst crimes were thoroughly documented.
A two year old Belgian girl who was bathing in a river was killed deliberately by German soldiers. That was thoroughly documented, as were the cold blooded killing of 160 civilians in the same area that day. Why? The Germans, in this third week of August, in this war they had launched, had been unnerved by a violent French counter offensive. That day 27,000 (twenty-seven THOUSANDS) FRENCH soldiers died in combat. How did the Germans react? By killing two year old little Belgian girls.
The big mistake the allies made in 1919 was not to find out, judge and hang, enough of these criminals. Instead, they were let go, and were basically told it was cool to be monstrous, when one is German. So they did it again, even more blatantly, twenty years later.
A lot of the commanders of 1939 already commanded in 1918 (Goering led the Von Richthofen squadron, after the death of the Red Baron; in 1939 Goering, son of his father the war criminal, commanded the entire German airforce, and, naturally enough, engaged in war crimes).
The deliberate, conspiratorial attack of August 1914, was certainly nationalistic: the initial mission was to destroy the French Republic, to make space for German plutocracy. Moreover the German Socialist Party, the SPD, some of whose principals made a show of their ignorant hatred for the Greeks, fully cooperated. In two words: National-Socialism again.
Adolf Hitler and his Nazis in all this? Just a bouquet final for German Nazism. This is the mood which resurfaced in the anger against the Greeks. Make no mistake: anger can be very good. But only when directed to the real culprits, not the innocent bystanders. In the Greek crisis, the real culprits were banks, plutocrats, Goldman Sachs, German regulators (who allowed the Drachma in at twice its rate). But the average Greek?
Tribal German madness started way back. Way before Johann Gottfried Herder (1744–1803) applied the (ill-defined) concept of "race" to nationalist theory, thereby inventing ethnic nationalism. Bad German philosophy, widely admired, all the way back to the ill-fated Teutons, and the ill-fated Arminius ("Hermann").
Germany was unified by the German Franks, precisely because the Confederation of the Franks rejected primitive tribalism, and embraced tolerance. It's never too late to remember the past.
The moods at the root of Nazism, tribalism, and the social instinct, are strong, and can be excellent, given the appropriate circumstances. That, per se, makes it not just very important, and always a temptation, but also very dangerous. It needs to be counterbalanced with a strong will to disorder.
Meanwhile BMW recalled discreetly two million cars (because they could be taken over at a distance). Skynet, the taking over by the machines, will be ineluctable, if what we prefer is order. What's more ordered than a machine?

Judaism's Promised land
Auschwitz, the Jewish Problem, and a Better Final Solution:
I want to make sure I am not Politically Correct, every day, so I chose my words carefully… Political Correctness has established its empire on the ruins of Philosophical Correctness. But politics ought just to be practical philosophy, it cannot afford to contradict it.
I turned Deutsche Welle (German TV) on, and fell on a Jew talking at Auschwitz, inside what had to be the world's most gigantic tent, draped with sumptuous blue lights. Zehr gut. Germans' fate is now forever tied to Auschwitz, as the German president said. Studying Auschwitz ought to bring the final solution to much German ideology, including Kant, Herder, etc.
I switched to the French TV, and the same elder gentleman was here again, making the same discourse, and it was the same camera. I love it when Germans and French agree, about what is important, and it's rarely not the case these days.
The speaker, an Auschwitz survivor, said words were important. To qualify those assassinated by the Nazis, one should speak of assassination, not "loss". It's not that we forgot about them, and we don't know where they are. They were assassinated. I could not agree more. I have made that point in writing for years.
The French, German and Ukrainian president were in the audience. The day prior, a rocket attack on the large city of Mariopol had killed tens of civilians. The Organization of Stability and Security in Europe, and others, determined that the rockets came from the terrorist-Russian side. Asked about it the half demented Russian dictator, declared that a NATO "Foreign Legion" was causing mayhem in Ukraine. NATO replied that the only foreign legion in Ukraine was Russian. Putin confirmed that "patriotic volunteers" had crossed into Ukraine. He condemned "Russophobia".
Putin did not go to the Auschwitz commemoration, pretexting he was not invited (nobody was; the event had been organized 9 years ago by the UN…)
Putin's slow motion terror is a sight to behold. As I have explained, it was enabled by the last moment failure of a surgical strike against Bashar El Assad, personally and directly. Saudi (!) and French aircraft were on the runways, ready to take-off, but, at the last moment Obama lost his balls, and assassinated respect for the West's military… With the failure to execute mass criminal Assad.
Assassination science is a complicated subject. Failure to assassinate here, will lead to assassination there.
The top German generals had decided to assassinate Hitler… They just needed British and American verbal support. Would the UK and the USA announce that they will stand publicly with France against Hitler? … Instead of siding with Hitler, as they had done so far? Then the generals, headed by chief of staff Beck, could make a coup, kill the top Nazis and argue to the Volk that it was a question of saving Germany from criminal madness.
Instead, the UK and USA governments betrayed humanity. They told Hitler that his generals, all his top generals, were plotting against him. That was in 1938. Beck was forced to resign, and to commit suicide in 1944 (after Beck headed the "Von Stauffenberg" coup).
The head of the World Jewish Congress talked. He accused "anti-Semitism".
Word precision, please. Concept precision, please. Arabs are Semites. Many Arabs, if not most, detest Jews. So are Arabs detesting themselves? Of course not. So asking Arabs to fight "anti-Semitism" is like asking Americans to fight "anti-Americanism". Silly, thus, ineffectual.
On January 21, 2015, French philosopher and plutocrat Bernard-Henri Levy told the 193-nation assembly that the world must confront "the renewed advance of this radical inhumanity, this total baseness that is anti-Semitism."
This is complete madness, on the face of it. BHL wants us to become mad. Hamas has in its charter, Hadith 41;6985, which orders to kill all the Jews. Hamas rules Gaza, a city more than 2,000 years old… And Gaza is full of Semites. Bombed by would-be Semites, the Jews of Israel. When BH Levy tells the inhabitants of Gaza to renounce "anti-Semitism", they can only feel that he is mad. Or that he views them as subhumans (as BHL recognizes only Jews as Semites, thus Gaza denizens as non-Semites, thus as having no identity, since BHL amputates them from their very existence!)
I said "would-be Semites" because, ironically, as Christians could convert to Judaism for centuries under the very long lived Franco-Roman empire, many European Jews were actually, first, of European descent. (Several top Nazis were themselves more or less of European Jewish descent; Hitler himself was a dubious case; he made thousands of German Jews, "honorary Aryans".)
The World Jewish Congress head accused "most nations of Europe" to be culprit of Auschwitz. Not one word about the USA. Yet, the USA was more culprit of the massacre of the Jews than any other nation, barred Germany itself. We are in 2015. How much longer do we have to wait for this basic truth? The fact is both instructive, and a warning.
Not only did the USA refuse to accept Jewish refugees (so millions, blocked from immigration, were killed in Europe; France, by contrast, had open borders). But American managers, such as Prescott Bush, managed the slave labor from the Auschwitz archipelago. That was obliterated by the official version of history, as was the employ, at the highest levels (the Dulles heads of CIA, State), of many Nazis and Nazi collaborators, all powerful in the USA, not just in the 1930s, but also in the 1950s…
By not mentioning any of this, the head of the World Jewish Congress makes himself an accomplice of the most important enabling factor of the Shoah.
Who learned nothing?
The Arabs, accused to be "anti-Semites"? Or those who play dumb, 80 years later? And still can't make the connection between the fact Obama was in Saudi Arabia, making oil plots, and not joining with 30 heads of states in Auschwitz (not anymore than he was in France two weeks earlier to demonstrate for Freedom of Expression).
The head of the World Jewish Congress should call a cat a cat, instead of calling cats "anti-cats". What he should have bemoaned is "anti-JUDAISM".
He then bemoaned Jews could go around Paris with a Kippah. Sure. Let's have everybody walk around in big religious garb, hoping for the best. Time for a bit of sensitivity, perhaps? The latest activities by Israel in Gaza killed around 2,300 people (most of them civilians… even according to Israel!)… And wounded more than 10,000. That's a lot of dead and wounded for a population of 1.8 million (more or less caged, thanks to Egypt and Israel).
Scaled up to the USA, that would be more than 400,000 dead… An astounding number.
More generally, Judaism gave us Christiano-Islamism. It's supposed to be a great gift. However, Christianism took over the Roman empire by 400 CE (that's when Roman emperor Theodosius had to be beg forgiveness on his knees to the archbishop of Milan, one of the so-called Church's Founding Fathers).
The government by bishops, for bishops, did not just collapse the empire, it collapsed civilization, and even demography. The Franks took over a devastated Europe, created their own bishops, and their own saints, and their own interpretation of Christianism. Then they domesticated the Popes.
Something similar happened with Islam. After the Islamists took military control, they proved incapable to come to terms with secularism, which is the condition sine qua non for civilization.
Thus, centuries later, after most of the population converted and was submitted to Sharia instead of secular law, civilization became moribund, and has been thus ever since.
Not to be left behind, Christian madness made a comeback after the First Crusade (1099 CE), and brought crusades, pogroms, Inquisition, ethnic cleansing, Jewish and Muslim eradication, for centuries to come. This was no small stuff: the crusade against the Cathars killed millions (scaled to the populations, it's worse than what the Nazis did; indeed the Cathars were killed to the last, and all their works, but one, or so)
Hence Judeo-Christo-Islamism stinks to high heavens most of the time. It keeps on being re-captured (surprise, surprise), by Elected People theoreticians… Come to think of it, that, and the respect for a crazed, bloodthirsty god, is the very basis of the doctrine…
Maybe Jews would be well advised to understand that their problems, just as those of Islam, originate greatly from their religion. It's OK, to change religion: Gallia changed religion, getting ever more secular, no less than four times in 2,000 years (from the Celtic human sacrifice cult, to Roman cult, to Christianism, to now Secularism).
The Promised Land ideology allowed to give the inspiration and religious backing for the North American Euro colonists to eradicate the Natives, following what they read in the Bible. So the Bible is still very popular in the USA: it made Americans not just feeling good about themselves, but awesomely rich: by the Nineteenth Century, an American going west was a multimillionaire, thanks to the Bible propelled government's generosity.
Apologists will say it's not so much the Promised-Land greed, but the Ten Commandments which are the core of the Biblical doctrine. That was not very useful when the Germans got angry.
Indeed, as one of the Auschwitz survivors just said: One needs an Eleventh Commandment: Don't Be Just a Spectator.
Even more important: have your own ideas. Parrots make poor thinkers. Poor thinking makes you dinner.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani claimed the United States is more isolated than ever over the issue of sanctions against Tehran, even among its allies, in remarks carried live on state television.
Speaking on Saturday after meeting the heads of parliament and the judiciary, Rouhani appeared to be trying to ease popular concerns fuelled by US President Donald Trump's decision in May, over the objections of allies, to pull the US from the nuclear deal signed between Tehran and world powers in 2015.
Trump re-imposed US sanctions that had been suspended in return for controls on Tehran's nuclear programme, effectively barring many multinational firms from doing business in Iran.
The likely return of US economic sanctions has triggered a rapid fall of Iran's currency and protests by bazaar traders usually loyal to the government, the Reuters news agency reported.
"Today, we are in conditions in which the United States is more isolated than ever over the sanctions issue," said Rouhani.
"America's illegal actions... have even isolated it among its own allies as we just saw," he said, apparently referring to protests held in Great Britain against Trump's visit there on Friday.
"The government pledges to the people that there will be no problems for the country in terms of energy, transportation, basic goods and production," the Iranian president said.
"The illegal logic of the United States is not supported by any of the international organisations," Rouhani said.
Many importers and exporters in Iran have complained they do not have enough currency to enable trade with foreign countries.
But Rouhani said Iran would ensure exporters and importers have "the necessary currency".
Rouhani's comments came a day after French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire told Le Figaro newspaper that the US had rejected a French request for waivers for its companies operating in Iran that Paris sought after Trump exited the Iran nuclear deal.
Paris had singled out key areas where it expected either exemptions or extended wind-down periods for French companies, including energy, banking, pharmaceuticals and cars.
French officials had expressed little hope for securing the waivers, which were critical for oil and gas major Total to continue a multi-billion-dollar gas project in Iran and for carmaker PSA Group to pursue its joint venture .
"We have just received Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin's response: it's negative," Le Maire told Le Figaro in an interview published on Friday.
Le Maire said Europe needed to react quickly and protect its economic sovereignty.
"Europe must provide itself with the tools it needs to defend itself against extra-territorial sanctions," Le Maire added.
Trump's sanctions are aimed at pressuring Iran to negotiate a new agreement to halt its nuclear programmes that might include Tehran's regional activities and ballistics development.
In particular, Washington wants to curtail the oil exports that are key to Iran's economic revival. Speaking at a news conference in Brussels on Thursday, Trump said he expected economic "pain" to force Tehran to seek an agreement with the US.
"I know they're having a lot of problems and their economy is collapsing. But I will tell you this, at a certain point, they're going to call me and they're going to say, 'Let's make a deal,' and we'll make a deal. They're feeling a lot of pain right now."
Earlier this month, Rouhani appeared to threaten to disrupt oil shipments from its neighbours if Washington pressed ahead with trying to force countries to stop buying Iranian oil.
