It's Not About Racism in America, it's About the Cheap Entitlement at the BBC
THIS POST IS IN MEMORY AND LOVE OF THOSE WHO WERE MURDERED JUNE 17th 2015 IN CHARLESTON SOUTH CAROLINA.
UPDATE 7/3/15:
We finally got a response! We received this message from the BBC in our email. While it does do a yeoman's job of sticking to their stated policy of journalistic integrity, it doesn't really deal with Scott Terry's milquetoast "retraction" where he claims it isn't "technically true" that the BBC "paid [his] way." We're left with two possibilities: the BBC screwed up and is trying to do damage control– or the simpler and far more likely possibility, that Scott Terry screwed up and was operating under the delusion that a film crew documenting his freakish and degrading antics constituted his elevation to media stardom.
A BBC Spokesperson said:
"We in no way assisted or encouraged Mr Heimbach's decision to go to Charleston. We also absolutely reject any suggestion that we sought to stage or influence a confrontation.
"We are filming a wider programme about race in America and as part of that we have interviewed several organisations and groups to hear their different perspectives. The programme is being made in accordance to the BBC's editorial guidelines.
The original post continues below:
The face of media has been changing and evolving over the past decade due to the internet. Anyone with a keyboard and a cellphone camera can now 2.0 report and bring news to the public that the mainstream media is either ignoring or too self-serving to pay attention to. Bigger blogs such as HuffPost, Addicting Info and Crooks and Liars are replacing more traditional mainstream media outlets. This has probably caused some insecurities in the mainstream media and they are possibly struggling to keep up with the blogs and Tumblr posts that are stealing their audience. The pressures to provide head turning content is obviously at an all time high, but how low will the mainstream media wallow to obtain this content?
A real news story is organic– every blogger with ethics knows that. Real news is about reporting a situation that is happening– without a hand in creating that story by the reporting party. Has the BBC blatantly crossed that line? You tell us!
About a month ago anti-racist journalists and activists started getting emails from a "Livvy Haydock" from the BBC, claiming she was a producer looking to create a film documentary about "racism in America." Okay, we all know this is an overdone and spent documentary topic, but America is facing a very intense moment in our history regarding racism. She then made it very clear that she was looking for the "rallies or events" where she may "see groups congregating and promoting their message"
A few weeks later this blog post by white nationalist Scott Terry pops up. Now for a little background, Scott Terry is a person we can safely say has some serious "issues". He made his first media appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in 2013 when he made a public statement claiming slavery was good because it gave black people free "shelter and food" and in the next breath made a call for racist segregation.
Terry has had a number of other less publicized histrionics but we digress. Terry keeps a blog called "Shotgun Wild at Heart" on wordpress.com. Readers can find it on their search engine of choice– we are not going to create any traffic for him. On June 26, 2015, Terry made a post called "Shotgun Goes to Charleston" about how he and his other white nationalist cronies, Matthew Heimbach and Tom Bulls, imposed themselves on the memorial vigil in South Carolina on June 26th where mourners were grieving and honoring those massacred during a bible class on June 17th.
In this post Terry makes a very interesting claim which was "It didn't hurt that the BBC was making a documentary and agreed to pay our way"…wait what?
He then goes on to claim that "the BBC wanted to get our interaction with black nationalists and wondered if we felt safe"…whoa!
Now aside from the fact that Terry's post is hard to read, racist and appalling, it did reveal a strong possibility that he and his rabble were not there only by their own accord, but as a staged situation for this BBC documentary footage.
An un-named anti-racist activist did email and confront Ms Haydock about the exchange of money to Terry and friends and she claims no money was given to them on behalf of the BBC. Terry then backpedaled his post and removed the "paid our way" statement and posted this note:
"This wasn't technically true"?This sounds a bit open ended to us. Now, it's plausible that money did exchange hands or expenses were paid in some manner out of pocket, but let's assume none did for now. There still appears to be a strong BBC hand in the presence of these three individuals being placed as theatrical props at an event honoring the dead. It also doesn't discount the fact that the BBC producer appears to have possibly encouraged these white nationalist to confront the mourners for their footage.
Other white nationalists were contacted by Ms Haydock, like this post from John Anthony Gage from the "National Youth Front," which is a William Johnson / American Third Position Party youth group run by Gage. In receiving his email he promptly posted on his open Facebook group which reads:
I am a television Producer from BBC Current Affairs. We are currently amiking a television documentary about racial tensions and fears in the USA and groups that have established themselves in reaction to those issues. We are very keen to show the younger generations and explore issues as to why they have felt it neccesary to take an active role in defending being white. I would love to discuss the documentary with you and tell you more.
Very ebst wishes,
Livvy Haydock"
Just to note we found this sentence kind of interesting:
We are very keen to show the younger generations and explore issues as to why they have felt it neccesary to take an active role in defending being white.
Moving right along…
We are concerned by this situation and for the lack of regard for the gravity of this event, so we emailed the BBC and Livvy herself.
Dear XX XXXXX,
We were not sure if you are the correct person to bring attention to on this matter. We are research and report group based in the United States who monitor hate groups.
In our monitoring we came across a blog post by an American white nationalist, Scott Terry, who we have been following for a number of years.
In this post, which we are providing in the attachments states number of disturbing things we find questionable in the practices of one of your producers who is apparently working on a documentary on racism in the United States.
We have been informed by others we work with that this producer is Livvy Haydock, because she has contacted them for this documentary as well.
According to this blog post Livvy Haydock, has apparently been staging the appearances of American white nationalist spokesman Matthew Heimbach and members of the white nationalist group Traditionalist Youth Network (TYN).
The blog post status that not only did she arrange for them to appear at a memorial vigil for the mourners of those murdered in the Charleston South Carolina shooting, she also appears to have paid their travel expenses.
It also stated that Livvy was encouraging the TYN members to confront mourners in order to create an atmosphere of tension and agitation during a solemn ceremony solely for her footage.
We not only find this completely irresponsible hack journalism, but egregiously disrespectful for those who lost their lives in the shooting and to those grieving for their lost loved ones. If this is in anyway factual, we have never in our lives seen have seen anything this disgusting.
We have also provided individual screen shots from Scott Terry's blog wherein he states that the "BBC agreed to pay our way."
The issue here is plainly obvious: It is implied that Livvy Haydock arranged for this scene to take place, arranged for the travel costs of these people and in effect, engineered and staged a situation that would not have occurred without her involvement.
If this is true, the Charleston Memorial footage appears to be nothing more to Livvy than a way to stage sensationalist journalism.
Our suggestion is that if your company wishes to preserve its integrity, it would scrap all of the footage of Heimbach and TYN in Charleston.
Anyone would agree that if any of the footage of Heimbach or other TYN members in Charleston is used, this lowers the final product to little more than a high-budget neo-nazi infomercial.
We have also alerted the anti-racist activists not to participate in this production.
If you are not the proper person to call attention to on this matter, please forward to the appropriate department.
The Liberty Lamp research team.
We heard back right away from Livvy, her response was not at all concerned about those mourners who were imposed on and used as a sensationalist backdrop at all:
Jun 30 (1 day ago)
I would like to make it very clear that I have not left the office in London and am not a Producer working on the ground in the United States. Such allegations will be taken very seriously and I will seek legal action should they persist.
Seriously? A duck and hide, and threats of "legal action" and no care or concern for what went down, really?
Well, this was our response to that:
Ms Haydock,
Your name has been on every email as the point of contact for this production. Whether you are or are not responsible for how this production is being executed in the United States does need a further investigation by the BBC.
What is most interesting is your immature and unprofessional response to this situation.
Instead of showing any concern for any chance that a memorial for nine human beings has been completely disrespected for the footage of a one hour sensationalist documentary, it appears that you and your production team do not, and that shows exactly why we have the problem of privilege, entitlement and racism in the United States.
Those nine lives do matter, that memorial was for them and those who needed to grieve for them, not to be used as the set of a carny act centered around a spoiled white boy (Matthew Heimbach) who grew up in a wealthy Washington DC suburb and views black people as subhuman.
I fail to see how using that event for cheap footage is any different than how Matthew Heimbach thinks and believes.
Instead of apologizing or promising to look into the matter that is obviously your responsibility in some way, you react with legal threats.
This is why we have the problems we have about race in America, because of this kind of insensitive and privileged mentality.
I hope the BBC will take a careful look at the obvious unprofessional mess this production is appearing to be.
The white nationalist group Traditionalist Youth Network– for which Heimbach is the spokesman– is using this production for their fundraising campaign:
"We've wrangled our way onto Chelsea Handler's upcoming NetFlix series, an upcoming hour-long BBC documentary, and several local and national news stories just in the month of June alone. Each and every time we achieve media attention, we try to pitch the proven "mantra" messages alongside our attractive message of faith, family, and folk. Each and every time we achieve media attention, it's to promote our cause and our message, not ourselves."
This drives our point home about the reality of this situation. We earnestly hope the BBC will take this situation as seriously as we are and will perform a proper investigation into what is happening on this production.
Now, of course the BBC has not responded, other than Ms Haydock's little tantrum and then a worthless email we were supposed to contact instead. If this production comes to fruition, we want to alert the public about the possible unethical, insensitive and brash disregard it was created in.

Nazis At the National Press Club!
NPI TO HOLD WHITE SUPREMACIST EVENT ON FRIDAY FEBRUARY 27, 2015, 6PM-9PM AT THE NATIONAL PRESS CLUB
Back in 2011, we reported on a white supremacist event at the National Press club held by Richard Spencer of the National Policy Institute.
From that event we were able to obtain and upload the strategy handout from the event called "Why the GOP Must Win White America"
NPI is a white supremacist group who tries to mask themselves as wonky policy group. Simple searches on Google on the group, Richard Spencer and his speaker line up (Jared Taylor, Peter Brimlow and Paul Gottfried) will bring up a plethora of articles and information on exactly who and what they are.
We find their using the National Press Club as a venue disturbing and it makes us wonder if the National Press Club knows who NPI really is.
The Press Club needs to know that Nazis are using their space as a venue!
NOTE: WHEN CONTACTING THE PRESS CLUB YOU WILL BE POLITE AND PROFESSIONAL!
We want to make the Press Club aware, do not say or infer anything that will be rude or threatening!
STOP NPI!

Kyle Rogers of the Council of Conservative Citizens is now a Virginia Flagger Fan!
The Virginia Flaggers are a Confederate Heritage group, sometimes referred to as "Neo-Confederates", who are based in Sandston, Virginia. The group was started in 2011, their current leader is a woman named Susan Frise Hathaway who is constantly repeating their innocuous motto "Return the Flags – Restore the Honor." Benign as the group may seem, it appears there is more to the group than meets the eye.
The Virginia Flaggers have had past associations with white supremacists during their activities as well known WN activist Matthew Heimbach was often seen in connection with the group. VA Flagger member Tripp Lewis had described Heimbach as a "good guy" even after Heimbach's nefarious activities became more obvious.
In the early stages of the VA flagger group, Ms. Hathaway was also interviewed and promoted on a podcast with the white supremacist southern nationalist group League of the South.
It could be argued that their past associations to Heimbach and the League of the South are trivial and spotty at best, but now another white nationalist has stepped up to publicly praise and promote the VA Flaggers and their activities.
The Council of Conservative Citizens is listed as a White Nationalist hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center and is a reincarnation of the White Citizens Councils. CofCC's website and blog is administered by Kyle Rogers, a fairly well seasoned white nationalist activist who has been on the scene for a number of years now. Kyle very rarely makes a public appearance but when he does it certainly makes an impression (lol!)
Kyle, out of the blue, has decided that now the C of CC has a keen interest in the VA Flagger as he is now promoting their up coming "Lee-Jackson Day" event in January on the C of CC website called TopConservativeNews.com
This promotional article is also plugged on hate forum Stormfront by a user named "UlsterScot12," believed to be the alias of Kyle Rogers.
Another posting was discovered on the White News Now forum under the category "Council of Conservative Citizens".
Why would Kyle and the C of CC all of a sudden take an interest in a group that claims they are not racists or white nationalists– like the agenda of the C of CC and Kyle himself?
One plausible reason is centered around Kyle's side business, which is an internet flag shop called "Patriot Flags." There, Kyle takes freedom of speech down to the level of selling a variety of flags, many with a white nationalist or Nazi based theme. And if you take a second look at the C of CC Flagger article …
In the world of capitalism it would make sense that Kyle smells cash in the blood of these confederate flag worshippers. He has a strong connection to League of the South and makes a profit by being the providing source for their big black X flags, glee club polo shirts and most likely the printed signs for their meager protests.
Are the VA Flaggers perhaps a potential business prospect? Or maybe the business relationship has already been on going? Either way– flaggers need flags, Kyle sells flags and he sells the kinds of flags they are looking for and they already have mutual friends in the League of the South.
The Actual Event:
The event in question that the Virginia Flaggers are planning is on Friday, January 16, 2015 and Saturday, January 17, 2015, in Lexington, Virginia for the Lee-Jackson Holiday.
According to their Facebook Event page :
For the third year, the Va Flaggers will gather in Lexington for the Lee-Jackson holiday. Friday, January 16th is the Virginia State Holiday for Lee-Jackson Day, and Saturday, January 17th is officially recognized as Lee-Jackson Day in Lexington. The Virginia Flaggers will flag the town of Lexington for action taken by City Council to ban ALL flags from city light pole flag stands, rather than allow the flags of Lee and Jackson to fly for the week leading up to the State holiday, AND Washington and Lee University for actions taken by President Ruscio to desecrate the LEE Chapel by removing battle flags from the Lee Mausoleum in response to the demands of 6 agitators/students.
Join us, as we "take it to the streets" to let the folks in Lexington and Washington & Lee University know that there are still many of us who honor Lee and Jackson and will not go away quietly.
We will flag all day Friday, participate in memorial services and the parade on Saturday, and flag Saturday afternoon/evening. We welcome all those interested in standing with us to attend Friday, Saturday, or both days.
Meet at Stonewall Jackson Cemetery Friday at 10:00 a.m, Saturday at 9:00 a.m. for instructions and information.
Lodging information here… http://leejacksonday.webs.com/lodgingsponsors.htm
Yeah, well LOL, so much flag drama and so little time. The most humorous part of the picture is this Va Flagger call for a TOTAL BOYCOTT of Lexington, Va and ask that participants take great effort and not spend ANY MONEY inside the city limits. The recommend lodging is outside of the town, and the Stonewall Brigade has negotiated discounted pricing. This boycott has apparently been ongoing since 2011.
Has this boycott had any effect on the businesses of Lexington?
There has been considerable doubt expressed as to the effectiveness of the boycott. According to data contained in a post at the Civil War blog Dead Confederates, the boycott has thus far been wholly ineffective and has made no measurable difference on the economy of the city of Lexington. An informal poll conducted by telephone to no less than 20 local businesses in Lexington, between Friday, December 19, 2014, and Sunday, December 21, 2014, also show that the boycott has had no negative effect on the economy of the city of Lexington. One hotel manager in Lexington said that he "Had no idea what we were talking about", while the manager of a well known chain restaurant in town commented that they, "Didn't know there was a boycott". We did not receive a single positive response from any of the merchants in Lexington, Virginia indicating that they had lost revenue due to the effects of the boycott, with most commenting that they had never even heard of the boycott prior to our inquiry.
Who is going to this event?
Well we have spotted at least four known League of the South members Dennis Durham, Shane Long, Josh Newcomb and Jamie Farren who have pledged to attend the event.
Note: We must stress that we have no grounds to assume that the Flaggers are directly responsible for the Council of Conservative Citizens' promotion of this event or the League of the South members joining in on the event, so we'll give them the benefit of the doubt– but it's certainly suspicious that a group that has had nothing to do with the Flaggers is now bending over backwards to promote them.
It is unclear if the Virginia Flaggers will distance themselves from the Council of Conservative Citizens and the League of the South by simply denouncing the groups promoting them with the possible prospect of business profits or the League of the South who see this as a venue to recruit and hand out their steel magnolia fanzine.
Time will tell…

Matt Parrott's Desperate Plea for Recognition
Matt Parrott at Leif Ericson Day in Philly
If you enjoyed our dissection of Michael Hill's rambling, strap in– because we've got a new specimen on the slab!
In what can only be described as a Robitussin-influenced slide into dissociative paranoia, Matt Parrot banged the cheetos dust out of his keyboard and posted the resulting word salad.
Within the first few months of public White Advocacy, I started receiving death threats on my phone number, 317-324-8282 and at my parrott.matt@gmail.com email address.
"Do you see what I did there? I hope it wasn't too subtle for you. You see, I'm incredibly intelligent and am the brains behind this outfit, so I know that if I put my contact information in public view and I get harassed for innocently supporting reconstituted Romanian death squads, I'll be the tough he-man I think I am! And if no one takes the bait and treats me like the inconsequential do-nothing neckbearded brony that I really am, I can still claim complete and total Aryan victory over the hordes of judeobolshevik assassins! So don't even think about it! Don't even THINK about calling me! I'm not starved for human contact! I'm not fed up with listening to Tom Buhls breathe through his mouth day in and day out, I'm not having separation anxiety stemming from my inability to continue running my fingers through Heimbach's crumb-infested lunatic beard! No! How foolish. But seriously, call me."
I was repeatedly threatened with being "doxxed", so I was careful to conceal my [redacted, at girlfriend's request] social security number.
We saw the SSN you posted, and given that Chinese and Russian bots have reached extreme levels of efficiency at trawling the internet for numbers that adhere to the AAA-GG-SSSS numbering scheme, it's far more likely that you received several angry phone calls from your banks and credit card companies than you did from any "girlfriend."
My employers were repeatedly pestered by the SPLC and others,
"I have to invent things now, because the crippling reality is that I'm unemployable due to my numerous severe antisocial personality disorders. The fact that my previous employers received calls from people concerned that they were employing a person who advocates mass genocide and goon squads was just a convenient way out for them to sack me, since I was never really any good at my job to begin with."
which led to my current arrangement of being a long-haul trucker
"I'm a real workin' man, bein' held down by the filthy jew rats and their negroid assassination squads! Really! Instead of being a lonely geek in a trailer park, I'm a lone knight of the highways, hauling trailers! Yeah! That's the ticket!"
who performs freelance computer consulting work in my mobile office. It's rudimentary to take my CDL to a different outfit if this one cans me, and most of my freelance clients couldn't care less if I were an ax murderer, as long as I deliver solid code.
You're obviously not a union trucker, otherwise you'd have set on and off times, so it's difficult to determine when exactly you're shoehorning-in this "coding work" between driving all day and night and catching whatever sleep you can in your cab, considering hunting for one single dropped comma can take several hours. And I'm agog that there are clients anywhere who care more that the code is solid than if it's on time. So, if you are doing actual coding and not, say, farting around in Joomla or WordPress like every other phony "internet professional" actually does, the only logical way you could be achieving this level of output is through the typical white nationalist outlet of amphetamine abuse. Speed-induced paranoia actually might explain the rest of this rambling diatribe, so I might not be too far off the mark.
I would offer my home address, but I live in my truck, so I don't really have one to offer.
Well, that's courageous– admitting that you're homeless. Or you're not actually serious about being mister macho internet tough guy. Or you're just avoiding the inevitable embarrassment that will come when people find out the true nature of the squalor you live in.
The heckler's veto which the Internet's anonymity provides has resulted in a profound chilling effect on public discourse,
"And I know a thing or two about stifling free speech and chilling effects on public discourse, since I like to show up at talks by Tim Wise with signs that advocate a return to lynching. That's not to mention my other unemployable freaks who have a bizarre attraction for a dead Romanian fascist."
and has steadily grown from a childish prank phone call stunt targeting toxic extremists like yours truly
Only in your most fevered DXM hallucinations would anyone consider you a "toxic extremist." You're more like the "day old can of half-eaten spaghetti-o's" of the far right than anything else. Von Bluvens commanded a far more loyal following than you ever will.
Von the Nazi leader of towed cars!
to this obnoxiously familiar canard peppering every major public political brawl. With the recent #gamergate hassle,
"Look! I am current and topical! I'm going to reference something that happened on the internet as a way of staying relevant!"
This is the point in the rant where everything starts to fall apart. Matt– the trilby-wearing, MRA brony– will now attempt to link his own inadequacy to a Gordian Knot of vitriol, as if defending his love of Applejack was essential to the broader white supremacist scene. Let's watch!
each side eagerly served up death threats and eagerly presented the death threats as a farcical sort of digital badge of courage that they were supposedly risking their lives for feminism or social justice or whatever.
Having a bit of a morbid sense of humor, I was especially amused by a call a few years ago purporting to be from right outside my apartment,
And that's it for attempting to make that pop culture reference mean anything. Matt would rather you completely forgot that.
threatening my imminent death and the imminent rape of my dog.
Dog rape? Does this come from the same part of the neo-nazi brain that invents the mythical "bags of urine" that magically appear and disappear without a trace at every mobilization against white supremacists? Steeping yourself in a rigidly authoritarian, sadomasochistic society –like your Romanian death-cult fetishism– where you're unable to conduct healthy explorations into your sexual wellbeing makes your personality come out sideways.
I didn't even own a dog, though my family's Teacup Pomeranians which I'm very partial to
(ahem) No comment.
were most likely never in any meaningful danger. I helped organize a Shadow Conference for would-be AmRen attendees
"I'm useful! I did something! Where's my banana sticker?!"
the year that Daryl Lamont Jenkins "anonymously" threatened to corrupt the morals of the hotel manager's dog,
There's that bestiality manifesting itself again. C'mon, Matt.
and I was in more danger on the public bus ride to the previous year's AmRen then I was directly defying the fearsome legion of anonymous assassins.
…because no one even knew who you were until you had to practically shake them by the lapels and beg someone– anyone— to punish you like the naughty little boy you think you are? I get it. You're acting out because your life is changing in ways you have little control over, and you're demanding that the universe give you something tangible that's familiar so you can have a semblence of emotional stability. Sure, your world might be crumbling around you, but as long as you have one constant factor that you can touch on –your security blanket of externally manifested self-hatred, for example– you don't actually have to face your worst fears and grow as a human. Or maybe it's something more prosaic, like the fact that your acolyte Heimbach is now gallavanting all over the US and Europe with his new wife and A3P's bank account behind him and you are stuck in Indiana, alone with your My Little Pony dolls, driving a truck and waxing poetic on a blog no one reads about your glory days when you mattered just enough for someone to want to send a death threat to you.
It's all bullshit, and I'm glad that this latest tiff between Sony Pictures and the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea
LOL WAT. What the everlovin' HELL does this have to do with anything else in this disjointed hodgepodge of words and letters?
has elevated the bullshit to the point where this micro-terrorism can officially jump the shark and people can stop taking it seriously.
For someone who adheres to an ideology of terrorizing non-whites, he surely has no grasp of the nature of terrorism. This isn't a film trope or a bad sitcom– terrorism does not "jump the shark" and real human interaction rarely bears any resemblence to poorly-written Hollywood scripts.
It's not serious. I suppose, in theory, that some day, somewhere, somebody's death threat or bomb threat could actually result in a death. But even then, for God's sake, is the statistically insignificant potential of death really worth handing over your very agency to speak your mind in public?
"That whole "boy who cried wolf" thing? The boy obviously had the right idea. So what if I've only read half of the story?!"
And if you're that cowardly, should you really be dabbling in public life to begin with?
I wonder to whom precisely Matt is directing this question. I'm sensing a gnawing doubt in Matt's subconscious that's bugging him more and more– 'maybe throwing in my lot with a bunch of fascists who want to reenact the Bucharest Pogrom and hang the corpses of Jews from meathooks wasn't the best life choice I could make.' Or, 'maybe having to justify my behavior by inventing death threats and physical assault isn't a healthy way to exist.' Or even 'maybe Heimbach's staging that photo of him attacking someone with a wooden crucifix is a sign that he's more of a danger to himself and the people in his immediate social circle than he will ever be as an activist.'
I helped organize the Shadow Conference for would-be AmRen attendees,
"Me! Me! I'm significant! I matter! I'm so significant and I matter SO MUCH that I had death threats made against my dog!"
and one of the topics of discussion at that event was how this whole "death threat/bomb threat" phenomenon amounts to a crowd panic fad which people will eventually grow past. People will eventually learn to quietly and calmly file a police report about the threatening communications and go about their business, resisting the urge to publicize the threat. People who shriek about having received death threats will be socially shamed for cowardice and attention-seeking,
Really, all you did in this piece was harp about how much of a stoic manly man you are and how all of those death threats you allegedly received don't bother you. Now you're doing a complete 180 and are begging to be shamed for publicly whining about receiving death threats. Like you're being shamed right now. Oh no! We've fallen into your completely subtle and well-orchestrated plot to provide you with the public humiliation your damaged subconscious so earnestly hungers for! CURSES! Well… OK then. You're a cowardly attention seeker who should be ashamed of their behavior. Happy now?
and the increasingly popular phenomenon of faking these threats to receive attention will further cloud matters.
So the next time you claim to have received a death threat, we can immediately dismiss it as being a fake. That's helpful.
Even if the threats were entirely legitimate and death were imminent, it would still be necessary and appropriate to plug forward. The alternative is a world where nobody says anything that anybody disagrees with, where everybody cowers in constant fear of crowd-sourced Anonymous Assassins achieving a 1984-style dystopian control on public discourse.
Gosh, it's almost like a lot of people don't approve of white supremacists. But that's ok, all you have to do is slap on some blinders and ignore those know-nothing haters and you won't have to face any public scrutiny of your antisocial behavior. Well, that's not entirely true– you'll still have to face it, but with some effort you can just as easily imagine none of it is happening.
I'd really rather be dead than live in the kind of world we'll end up in if we don't all develop the habit of ignoring and dismissing death threats, bomb threats, and doxxing threats.
"I'd rather die than someone believe I received a death threat."
I like the anonymity that the Deep Web provides, and it's here to stay.
"I was really bummed when Silkroad went down, because now I have to get my Vyvanse, Adderall and Dextromethorphan like a filthy peasant and the local high school kids don't take bitcoin!"
But it's going to require our culture to catch up with the technology, namely a new normal where a blogger casually chuckles "Bring it!" when somebody dials his cell and threatens to kill him to death with a machete.
"Kill him to death?" If your "code" is as good as your writing, I'm shocked you get any work at all.

UnMasking the March
We have written up quite a bit on Anonymous in the past, but not so much as of late because the Internet hive-mind has been on a bit of a hiatus (aside from DOXing the KKK and some murderous cops). This hasn't stopped others, however, from co-copting the name and images of the internet hacker group to use for their own propaganda and political agendas. You remember Jamie Jo Corne from years back— well, there is a new co-opter in town and she is like a Sarah Palin of activism.
Christine Ann Sands
Recently, there was a march in Washington DC called the "Million Mask March" which was promoted as an "Anonymous" event. But how "Anonymous" was it? The woman behind the event is Christine Ann Sands, who gives out her info as:
We encountered Ms. Sands (or WhateverTheFuckHerNameis) while covering the crazy right-wing tea party event "Operation American Spring" (another clusterfuck of lunacy). She was trailing behind their meager march and homed in on any press like a heat seeking missile. Seriously, the most dangerous place in Washington is between Christine and a camera. We didn't pay her any mind as we found her incredibly annoying and self-absorbed. We did a bit of research on her claims of activist fame and chose to ignore her– it's the most effective technique to deal with people who thrive off unwarranted self importance.
Although Wonkette did give her some less than complimentary face time, she vanished into obscurity until she popped up when amateur leftist media sources were paying attention to the Million Mask March event in November of this year.
Digging into who this person is, she is obviously not really an Internet hacktivist at all– she is merely someone who has done several strange jobs in the past.
Oh how Mavericky!
Her "internet activism" consists of trying to register as many URLs for other protest movements, like the OccupyDC protest, so she's a glorified domain squatter.

We located a very interesting and pretty well researched pastebin on Ms Sands (or is it Mrs. Wahab?)
There are many accusations that this woman is a fed– and we are not ruling that out– but we are not going there yet
She does appear to be pretty well funded without any visible means of support ( she has a fancy painted up bus!) and even though her lunacy could very well be a ruse, she is apparently so flakey one would question if even the FBI would stoop to employ somebody this unhinged. She posted this long rant on her FB page:
Is there enough crazy here?
Is she trying so hard to play a role that she is overdoing it? On the other hand… damn, this woman has some serious issues with reality.
Why is Kremlin TV involved?
Digging further, we also noticed that the Kremlin-funded Russia Today was also promoting this event. We are not the only ones who noticed this, as right wing blogger right wing blogger Kevin Tracy points out. Unfortunately, Tracy's article is not accurate. He fails to expose who is really behind this event, claiming it was put together by actual Anonymous hackivists when it was not. He also fails to mention when Russia Today violated campaign finance laws to give the similarly unhinged Adam Kokesh airtime to use to raise money for the Ron Paul campaign.
Getting back to Ms Sands, she herself has been the doyenne of Russian government media quite few times.
Like Adam Kokesh, besides trying to co-opt Anonymous and the Occupy Movement (as both have tried to do) both were also involved with the right wing racist Ron Paul.
Christine has some opposition as well. The fellows we found who have the biggest beef with her are a chap named John Fairhurst and his comrades from Anti-Media who claim to be the original organizers of the march. We would feel a bit better about the march if they weren't also Ron Paul supporters, but they are, in fact Fairhurst even asks Paul to come as speak at the Million Mask March on facebook thread.
Other Million March Organizers show an unsettling connection to rightwing/racist Ron Paul
There has been a long simmering movement coming from the third-position right wing to try to co-opt and manipulate leftist movements. Ms. Sands is part of that third position/Ron Paul/ pro-military revolutionary crowd who is trying to mislead disenchanted leftists into supporting something nefariously masked that they would normally be opposed to.
We also speculate that she is connected to Charles Kacprowicz– he of the extreme right-wing pro-military extremist movement Operation American Spring. She has promoted information of his event on her facebook page.
A word of caution for all leftists and anti-fascist activists: just because something looks revolutionary, it does not mean their goals are your goals. Ms. Sand is a right-winger and a conspiracy quack; she is tied in with pro-militia groups, Ron Paul and the right wing racist Russian government's propaganda machine. The parallels between her and Adam Kokesh are almost identical.
A word for leftist amateur media- do your homework! Don't be an unwitting propaganda tool!
Supporting this kind of façade is political suicide.

Georgia Christian School Says NO to White Power and Boots Marshall Rawson Out.
Once again, we have Marshall Rawson as a person of interest. It looks like Rawson's extracurricular activities with the League of the South didn't mesh very with the school he was attending; Shorter University's vision– or rules, for that matter.
At this point in time, we are not sure exactly what went down. What we do know is that Rawson was very involved with the school's Ron Paul-sponsored Young Americans for Liberty group, which appears to be the college youth wing of Campaign for Liberty. Out of that group appeared another odd youth group tied to the school called "Empower The Youth/Leadership Now"
This group looks like a tool for the Hunt for Governor campaign, and one of their events was a gun giveaway via a raffle to raise money. With school shootings making the recent headlines, this looked like a bad plan from the start.
Advertising for a gun give away as a school activity?
Now, in a post on the "Empower The Youth/Leadership Now" Facebook page:
How much of this is related to the school group's gun raffle is unknown but there was another comment on the timeline of another Shorter University student:
Even though Shorter is a very conservative university and a religious one, they also take a great deal of pride in their diverse student body; a good portion of the students who go there are African American and Hispanic. Having a student who is involved in a white supremacist nationalist group like League of the South is probably a big concern for the college. Throwing firearms into the mix is a recipe for trouble. We commend Shorter University for their good call and judgement in this case.

Dromeozauroid (Dromaeosauroides) – rodzaj dinozaura gadziomiednicznego, teropoda z rodziny dromeozaurów. Zamieszkiwał tereny dzisiejszej Danii w epoce wczesnej kredy. Odkryto go w skałach formacji Jydegaard w Robbedale na wyspie Bornholm na Morzu Bałtyckim. Jest to prawdopodobnie jedyne miejsce w Danii, gdzie znaleziono szczątki nieptasiego dinozaura, jako że osady mezozoiczne pozostałej części terytorium Danii są pochodzenia morskiego. Dromaeosauroides jest pierwszym znanym dinozaurem z tego miejsca i jedynym, któremu jak dotąd nadano nazwę. Należy do najstarszych znanych dromeozaurów świata i jest pierwszym niekwestionowanym dromeozaurem wczesnej kredy z Europy.

Znany jest z dwóch zębów. Pierwszy z nich znaleziono w 2000, a kolejny w 2008. Bazując na tym pierwszym (a więc na holotypie), w 2003 nadano nazwę rodzajową i gatunkową Dromaeosauroides bornholmensis. Nazwa rodzajowa oznacza "przypominający dromeozaura" (rodzaj Dromaeosaurus ; -οιδης -oidēs "przypominający" ), kierowano się tutaj podobieństwem zębów. Epitet gatunkowy oznacza "z Bornholmu". Po tym odkryciu szczątki i ślady większej ilości dinozaurów zostały znalezione w kilku formacjach Bornholmu. Pewne zęby z Wielkiej Brytanii, które zaklasyfikowano do rodzaju Nuthetes, mogą również należeć do dromeozauroida. Koprolity zawierające pozostałości ryb z formacji Jydegaard również mógł pozostawić po sobie Dromaeosauroides.

Holotypowy ząb mierzy 21,7 mm. Drugi okaz mierzy 15 mm. Oba są zakrzywione, drobno ząbkowane. Za życia zwierzę mogło mierzyć od 3 do 4 m długości oraz ważyć około 40 kg. Jako dromeozauryd powinien być opierzony i posiadać duży, zakrzywiony jak sierp szpon na stopie, który występował u krewnych dromeozauroida, jak dromeozaur czy deinonych. Zauropsyd zamieszkiwał środowisko przybrzeżnych lagun wraz z zauropodami, na co wskazuje ząb należący prawdopodobnie do tytanozaura.

Odkrycie

Na terenie Skandynawii znaleziono kilka szczątków dinozaurów. Większa część kontynentalnej Danii nie jest regionem nadającym się do poszukiwań skamielin dinozaurów, gdyż osady pochodzące z ery mezozoicznej mają pochodzenie morskie. Buduje je kreda z mastrychtu. Znaleziono w nich skamieniałości zwierząt morskich niezaliczanych do dinozaurów, w tym mozazaurów i plezjozaurów. Osady mezozoiczne w Skanii należącej do Szwecji są znacznie bogatsze w skamieliny, także należące do dinozaurów. Duńska wyspa Bornholm leżąca na Morzu Bałtyckim była częścią tego samego lądu, co Skania, kontynentu skandynawsko-rosyjskiego, łączy je podobna budowa geologiczna. Południowo-zachodnia część wyspy to jedyne miejsce w Danii, gdzie znaleziono skamieliny nieptasich dinozaurów.

W ostatniej dekadzie XX wieku Fossil Project, rozwiązany w 2005, stworzony został przez grupę niezatrudnionych formalnie ludzi, którzy otrzymali fundusze od państwa duńskiego i Wspólnoty Europejskiej w celu utrzymania geologicznych stanowisk Bornholmu. Jedno z nich, "Carl Nielsen's sandpit" w dolinie Robbedale, zalicza się do formacji Jydegaard. Formacja ta liczy sobie 140 milionów lat. Datuje się ją na późny berrias (lub ryazanian) w obrębie epoki wczesnokredowej. Fossil Project przesiewał piasek w tych miejscach, współpracując z centrum NaturBornholm, które wydobyło odkryte skamieliny. We wrześniu 2000 duńscy paleontolodzy Per Christiansen i Niels Bonde skierowali się ku temu miejscu, rozpoczynając "The Hunt for Danish Dinosaurs" ("polowanie na duńskie dinozaury"). Podczas badań studentka geologii Eliza Jarl Estrup znalazła ząb teropoda, pierwszy ząb dinozaura znaleziony na terytorium Danii. Odkrycie zostało przedstawione przez lokalną stację telewizyjną.

Ząb zaprezentowano na 45. dorocznym spotkaniu Palaeontological Association w 2001, identyfikując go jako pozostałość dromeozauryda. W 2003 ząb, oznaczony jako MGUH 27218/DK 315, uczyniono holotypem gatunku Dromaeosauroides bornholmensis, nazwanego i opisanego przez Christiansena i Bonde. Nazwa rodzajowa odwołuje się do dromeozaura (Dromaeosaurus), z pochodzącą ze starożytnej greki końcówką -ides ("przyjmujący kształt"), odnoszącą się do podobieństwa pomiędzy zębami obu taksonów. Epitet gatunkowy pochodzi od Bornholmu. Bonde i Christiansen spodziewali się, że pierwsze pochodzące z Danii szczątki nieptasiego dinozaura to zęby roślinożercy takiego jak "hipsylofodonty" czy Iguanodon. Byli zaskoczeni, gdy zamiast tego znaleźli ząb dromeozauryda, jako że stanowiły one rzadkość w formacjach kredy wczesnej. Roślinożercy są bardziej pospolici od mięsożerców. Ponieważ dromeozauryd wydawał się duży, oczekiwali oni, że giętkie kości, jak pazury, mogą być też znajdywane w przyszłości. Paleontolodzy nie spodziewali się odkryć kości większych dinozaurów w tej formacji, te prawdopodobnie znaleziono by już wcześniej, kiedy piasek eksploatowano komercyjnie. Mieli jednak nadzieję na znaleziska szczątków mezozoicznych ssaków. Holotypowy ząb posłużył do zilustrowania kilku książek i artykułów naukowych. Nazwano go "Danekræ" ("duńskie stworzenie", zgodnie z duńskim prawem muzealnym z 1990 chroniącym ważne skamieliny), kiedy jego znaczenie dla nauki potwierdziło Muzeum Geologiczne w Kopenhadze.

Latem roku 2008 strażnik Jens Kofoed znalazł kolejny ząb dromeozauryda. Okaz DK 559 znaleziony został w tym samym miejscu, co poprzedni, później przypisano go również do gatunku D. bornholmensis. Kofoed wyjaśnił, że odkrycie było zaskakujące, ponieważ przez lata bezskutecznie szukano w Danii szczątków dinozaurów, było to jak znalezienie igły w stogu siana. Drugi dromeozaurzy ząb został uznany za Danekræ przez Muzeum Historii Naturalnej Danii, w prasie porównywano zwierzęta do raptorów z filmu Park Jurajski. Zauważono jednak, że w przeciwieństwie do raptorów z filmu dromeozaurydy były opierzone.

Od odkrycia dremeozauroida na terenie wyspy Bornholm znaleziono dowody bytności większej liczby dinozaurów. W 2002 ząb, który uznano za należący niegdyś do młodego zauropoda z grupy tytanozaurów, znaleziono w skałach formacji Jydegaard. Odciski stóp zauropoda i tyreofora znaleziono w środkowojurajskiej formacji Bagå w 2005. W 2008 doniesiono o znalezieniu zębów nieokreślonego bliżej maniraptora i niewielkiego dromeozauryda z wczesnokredowej formacji Rabekke. W tym samym roku opisano także ślady zauropoda z tej samej formacji. W 2011 opisano odciski śladów zuropoda, tyreofora i teropoda z formacji Bagå. Doniesiono również o dolnojurajskich śladach z formacji Rønne na Bornholmie. Opisane w 2014, są najwcześniejszym dowodem aktywności dinozaurów w Danii. Ząb wieloguzkowca Sunnyodon znaleziony został w formacji Rabekke 10 lat wcześniej. Jest on z kolei pierwszym znanym nie tylko duńskim, ale w ogóle skandynawskim mezozoicznym ssakiem.

W 2012 Jesper Milàn i współpracownicy opisali 2 koprolity (sfosylizowany kał) zawierające rybie kości i łuski. Znalezisko pochodziło z formacji Jydegaard. Były to pierwsze takie skamieliny znalezione w kontynentalnych osadach mezozoicznych Danii. Choć zwierzęcia, którego jelita uformowały kał, nie można w sposób pewny zidentyfikować, żółwie morskie i dromeozaurydy takie jak Dromaeosauroides wydają się najbardziej prawdopodobnymi kandydatami.

Budowa

Cechy wykorzystywane w celu identyfikacji zębów teropoda obejmują wielkość, proporcje, zakrzywienie korony oraz morfologię i ilość ząbków. Holotyp D. bornholmensis stanowi właśnie korona zęba o długości 21,7 mm, mierząca 9,7 mm w kierunku przednio-tylnym i 6,6 mm szerokości u podstawy. Przednia część zęba wykazuje zużycie. Wskazuje to, że ząb został zrzucony za życia zwierzęcia. Następnie dotknęły go procesy tafonomiczne. Podstawa zęba jest nieregularna, wobec czego za życia zwierzęcia mógł on być nieco dłuższy. Zakrzywienie i długość holotypowego zęba oraz długość jego tylnej krawędzi (tnącej) wskazują, że zajmował on miejsce na przedzie jamy ustnej.

Ząb jest zakrzywiony do tyłu, owalny w przekroju. Jego przednią i tylną krawędź zdobi drobne ząbkowanie, obejmujące dolne dwie trzecie obu krawędzi. Na 1 mm przypada 6 ząbków, z których każdy jest prostokątny i dłutowaty. Ogólny kształt zęba, jego długość i kształt w przekroju, jak też zakrzywienie przypominają zęby kości szczękowej czy żuchwy gatunku Dromaeosaurus albertensis z Ameryki Północnej. Nie występowały bruzdy (zbrocze) bądź były niewydatne, podobnie jak u dromeozaura. Różniło to te rodzaje od członków podrodziny Velociraptorinae. Dromaeosauroides różni się od Dromaeosaurus krawędzią tnącą przedniej strony zęba, położoną dalej od środka zęba. Ząb jest też większy, a ząbkowanie podobne, jednak ząbki były mniejsze, niż u dromeozaura, u którego tylko 13–20 ząbków przypadało na 5 mm, a nie 30, jak u dromeozauroida. Drugi znany ząb duńskiego zauropsyda jest mniejszy. Osiąga 15 mm. Ma jednak podobne cechy, co holotyp.

Holotypowy ząb jest o około 25% większy od odpowiadających mu zębów dromeozaura. W związku z tym długość ciała dromeozauroida szacuje się na 3 m bądź więcej, mógł osiągać 3-4 m długości. W wywiadzie Christiansen powiedział, że czaszka powinna mierzyć 35 cm długości, a całe zwierzę powinno ważyć pomiędzy 150 a 180 kg przez porównanie obu zwierząt. Jako dromeozauryd, Dromaeosauroides nosił wielki, zakrzywiony szpon o wielkiej ruchomości na drugim palcu stopy, jak jego krewni dromeozaur, welociraptor czy deinonych. Grupa ta wykazuje bardzo bliskie pokrewieństwo z ptakami i centrum NaturBornholm prezentuje mniej więcej naturalnych rozmiarów model dromeozuroida pokrytego piórami. Późniejsze znaleziska chińskie dobrze zachowanych upierzonych dinozaurów pokazały, że bliższy rzeczywistości model powinien mieć więcej piór i powinny one być dłuższe. Choć pewne niewielkie dromeozaurydy mogły posiadać zdolność lotu, nie byłoby to prawdopodobne dla zwierzęcia rozmiarów dromeozauroida.

Systematyka

Kilka cech zębów występuje wśród teropodów tylko u przedstawicieli rodziny dromeozaurów (dromeozaurydów). Dromaeosauroides zaliczono w obrębie wspomnianej rodziny do podrodziny Dromaeosaurinae z uwagi na podobieństwa do dromeozaura (Dromaeosaurus). Pomimo tych zbieżności duńskiego dinozaura nie zaliczono do tego samego rodzaju. Nie wydaje się też prawdopodobne, by ten rodzaj mógł przetrwać 60 milionów lat; Dromaeosauroides żył bowiem w kredzie wczesnej, dromeozaur zaś w kredzie późnej. Różnice pomiędzy ząbkami także wskazują na słuszność oddzielnej klasyfikacji.

Dromaeosauroides należy do najstarszych znanych dromeozaurydów świata. Jeszcze starsze szczątki tylko wstępnie zliczano do Dromaeosauridae. Dromaeosauroides jest więc pierwszym pewnym dromeozaurydem żyjącym we wczesnej kredzie na terenie Europy, jego status zależy też od klasyfikacji Nuthetes z Middle Purbeck z Brytanii (formacja ta może być nieco starsza od formacji Jydegaard). Nie ma też pewności, czy młodociany holotyp Nuthetes wykazuje cechy charakterystyczne dla dromeozaurydów. Duży okaz zaliczony do Nuthetes wydaje się należeć do właściwych dromeozaurów i może zaliczać się raczej do Dromaeosauroides, niż do Nuthetes. Okazy te mierzyły od 15 do 18 mm.

Niektórzy naukowcy nazywają Dromaeosauroides mianem nieokreślonego dromeozaura. Bonde odpowiedział na to, że rozpatrywane zęby różnią się od właściwych innym dromeozaurom wczesnej kredy (jak też późniejszym członkom grupy, w tym dromeozaurowi) i takson powinien być uznany za pewny. Powiedział też, że naukowcy ci uwzględniają nieprawidłowe dane na temat miejsca znalezienia szczątków, warstwy geologicznej i wieku znaleziska, a okoliczności nazwania dromeozauroida nie odbiegają od towarzyszących tworzeniu innych taksonów bazujących na zębach.

Paleoekologia

Obecnie jedynie róg formacji Jydegaard jest odkryty, pozostała część natomiast – zarośnięta. Formacja Jydegaard należy do grupy Nyker, obejmującej 3 formacje geologiczne (Rabekke, Robbedale i Jydegaard), datowane na wieki od berriasu do walanżynu we wczesnej kredzie. Formację Jydegaard budują osady pochodzące z nadmorskich lagun wypełnionych wodą słodką lub brachiczną. Oprócz dromeozauroida znaleziono tam szczątki prawdopodobnie tytanozaura, rekina z rodziny Hybodontidae, ryb Lepidotes i Pleuropholis, żółwi, jaszczurek, krokodyla Pholidosaurus oraz cienkie fragmenty kości ptaka lub pterozaura. W leżących poniżej osadach obficie występuje małż Neomiodon (Neomiodon Bed). Wskazuje to na masowe umieranie, być może z powodu toksyn produkowanych przez bruzdnice.

Ryby i małże znaleziono w glinie powstałej prawdopodobnie w lagunie, a dinozaury i jaszczurki w piasku leżącym prawdopodobnie na lądzie, być może na plaży, żółwie i krokodyle znaleziono w obu miejscach. Ślimaki słodkowodne znaleziono w glinie pozostałej być może po płytkich, wysychających jeziorkach za piaskiem oddzielającym lagunę od morza, w otoczeniu przypominającym Florida Keys bądź południowo-zachodnie wybrzeża Jutlandii. Dinozaury być może żerowały w tym miejscu, korzystając z pozostałości roślin i niewielkich zwierząt lądowych, teropody mogły polować wzdłuż brzegu. Bornholm i Skania wydają się być jedynymi miejscami, gdzie znaleziono pozostałości skandynawsko-rosyjskiej fauny z wczesnej kredy. Dalsze badania mogą wyjaśnić, czy pokrewieństwo łączy ją z fauną europejską, czy też azjatycką.

Bazując na prawdopodobnych koprolitach dromeozaryda z formacji Jydegaard zawierających szczątki łusek ryby Lepidotes, Milàn i współpracownicy spekulowali, że pewne dromeozaurydy potrafiły łapać ryby powiększonym, zakrzywionym szponem na drugim palcu stopy, w sposób podobny do zaproponowanego dla barionyksa, używającego swego szponu na kciuku jak oszczepu. Większy z tych koprolitów wykazuje też dowód na istnienie koprofagów.

Untreated insomnia that continues for longer than a month is extremely dangerous for your health. If the person having sleepless nights does not get to rest peacefully in the night despite changing sleeping habits, he/she is prescribed medical treatment by the general physician after cognitive and behavioral therapy. Sometimes, simply rectifying the cause behind sleeplessness can treat insomnia. However, in most cases, it cannot be determined. Thus, the patient may be prescribed sleeping tablets to assist.
Sleeping medication like Zopiclone tablets are given to insomniacs when other non-medicinal treatments fail to work. The drug is not meant to be taken for long periods of time, and must only be consumed during a rough phase of severe lack of proper sleep in the night. The drug belongs to particular class of drugs, commonly known as Z-drugs. The drug has a distinct way of functioning. It sends messages to the brain by transmitting messages through neurons, which signal the brain to induce sleep.
The drug helps in reducing anxiety and encourages feelings of calmness. They help the patient to calm down and eventually fall asleep. The essential thing to understand here is that Zopiclone tablets are only prescribed to patients for short term usage. They should not be taken for more than a month. Typical duration for which it can be consumed is two weeks to a month at most.
Long-term consumption of the medicine tends to minimize the effects of the drug. In addition, some patients can become addicted to the drug with long-term consumption. When taken within the recommended dosage guidelines, the drug has optimal effects in the treatment of insomnia.

Justin's Intellectual Disadvantage
Posted on January 24, 2016	by phantomobserver
Well, that was an interesting speech our Prime Minister gave in Davos, wasn't it? From the Liberal PR team's standpoint, it was a hit, complete with money quote:
Canada was mostly known for its resources. I want you to know Canadians for our resourcefulness.
Mind you, that's the official text. Elsewhere, particularly according to Andrew Coyne, there's a slightly different version:
"My predecessor," he began, "wanted you to know Canada for its resources. I want you to know Canadians for our resourcefulness."
Okay, look: there's nothing particularly wrong, or partisan, about the Stephen Harper reference. Yes, Tory economic management relied primarily on the resources sector to drive most of the economy, and whatever you want to say about its merits or deficiencies, at least we can argue that resources are a Canadian economic advantage; it's the "how do we manage it" that gets most of the argument.
However, the more worrisome bit is this: Justin seems to be toting the idea that Canadian brain power — i.e. ideas and knowledge — are an economic advantage.
And that problem is, that's not so easy to justify.
There's a word for those who generate ideas based on their own knowledge, and who make a living at it: intellectual. Most people have it to some degree or other, but only a select few get to make their living with it, usually college and university professors. The last person we had like that, in politics, was Michael Ignatieff. And look what happened to him.
Justin seems to have forgotten that intellectualism can only become an advantage if there's an opportunity to apply it. And the opportunity isn't as big as he seems to think it is, because there are tons of very smart people out there who aren't from Canada. Our system of education doesn't generate very many Mark Carneys, or David Suzukis, and they pretty much run smack dab into a ton of David Camerons and Rupert Murdochs and Donald Trumps.
I mention Trump because it brings up another point: usually it's not the smart guy who has the advantage. There are several candidates in the Republican presidential nomination race who have higher IQs than the New York tycoon. But the tycoon has other talents that have consistently put him out ahead of the opinion polls, much to the frustration of the punditocracy who would be of the same "intellectual" philosophy that Justin seems so determined to tout.
Now, yes, you can drag out any number of Canadian individuals who have made their mark on history due to the products of their brain power. But that doesn't make for the "economic advantage" that Justin is trying to promote. And though most of his Davos speech talks of Canadian "confidence," there's a thin line between confidence and outright arrogance, and one of Justin's intellectual blinders is he never knows when he's crossed it.

NathanB. says:
Hmm–I've come late. Victor, it's good to see you blogging again, but I have to disagree with your conflation of intellectualism and resourcefulness. There's simply no basis for the equivalency. Furthermore, your definition of an intellectual could just as easily be the definition of an entrepreneur. In fact ,our P.M. wants Canada to become a leader in technology and innovation, and he should certainly expand our economy moving forward in those areas. I don't think our P.M.'s line was problematic in any way.
monkey says:
I am probably more of a Red Tory compared to many on this site, but even I find Trudeau's economic policies very worrying. They are not the centrists pragmatic types we had from the Liberals in the 90s, there are left wing ones much like his father and Wynne in Ontario. In fact of the 34 OECD Countries, our government is probably one of the more left wing ones at the moment and the few to the left of us such as France and Greece are in a real mess.
As for his brains, it is Gerald Butts who is driving the agenda, Justin Trudeau is just their salesman because unfortunately in today's 10 second world image rather than policies seems to matter more. And considering how badly Butt's policies have failed in Ontario we should be worried. At least had the Liberals chosen Marc Garneau instead of Trudeau, I don't think we would have as much to worry about.
His speech had to be changed to protect his "sunny ways" image. Because we all know that liberals are not partisan and are completely un-ideological. They just do "what works" right? It's the "nasty" people who disagree with them who are the problem. We're going to have to re-evaluate such things as space and time to grow our economy from the heart out while the budget balances itself and the chinese economy turns on a dime.

The Andrew Coyne version is the one that Trudeau
delivered in Davos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSyBM2zmTxY.
Why aren't the "official" version and the "delivered" version the same? Why the need for a sanitized version? I thought Trudeau and his gang were all about 'transparency'. For someone who wants to instil a more civil tone in politics. Is that achieved by disparaging his predecessor?
As JR's blog post pointed out http://jr2020.blogspot.ca/2016/01/pm-selfies-embarrassing-performance-in.html other commentators, besides Coyne, found that line "dumb" and worse.

Why would any of the "financial heavy hitters" invest in Canada when it's well know that Trudeau disdains the 1% but can't confiscate enough money from them to support his tax regime. Apparently he doesn't include himself among the despised wealthy individuals.
Yes, we were told by the media how much love he garnered; but apparently not so much in the back rooms if the insiders are telling the truth about the CF-18 pull out and the actual reaction to that decision. That was downplayed by the CBC with the official excuse that there will be other meetings.
Of course, he is probably only looking for investors for green technologies and that comes with tax payer funded government grants after the Ontario model of revenue generating incompetence.
The other meaning for Canadian resourcefulness is that people will learn to work around the $10 caulifower and the $18 orange juice. That can be shrugged off.
What's odd here is he is part of the top 1% he hates. Yes it is true right now soaking the rich is quite popular, but if you look where it has been tried it almost never has worked out. More importantly I would rather live in a country where people strive to be successful whether they make the top 1% or not rather than one where success is frowned upon. Our top tax rate is now higher than some fairly socialistic European countries like Germany and France and only a few points lower than the Nordic ones. If you want more generous social programs, the only way to do it is a higher sales tax which off course no one wants, but that is how they fund it. There simply aren't enough rich people out there to raise that amount of money.
Don Morris says:
While the intellectual can dream up ideas, the practical person has to bring the idea to fruition, as most intellectuals are not capable of more than ideas. Iggy was an intellectual who was lost in the mean, nasty, dirty world of politics, as he would be if he entered into the world of business.
Trudeau, what can I say about him that's complimentary? The man is no intellectual, has no practical ability, and is nothing more than a third rate actor spouting cliches, the "Harper-resources" line being just another of the hundreds he's spouted since he was elected LPC leader.
Unfortunately, the statement means nothing, Canadians are not unique in our resourcefulness, and are actually quite a bit less resourceful than other people, "necessity is the mother of etc." The Israelis are resourceful, so are the Chinese and Indians, and in this real world of trade between nations, we have to compete with them, among many others.
Trudeau and the rest of pseudo-intellectuals who infest Canada today seem to believe that we can do anything better than anyone else, because we just CAN! And I'll hold my breath until I turn blue if you don't agree.
Trudeau hasn't a clue as to what he said in Davos, his attendance and utterances at various meetings he's attended was like watching a child try to find his way. Cringeworthy is a new term I like to describe most of Trudeau's moments in the spotlight.
Every so-called intellectual will one day write a book, , or several books, telling the world about just how brilliant he is, as Ignatieff did a while back, and the Toronto latte crowd will be impressed and will buy the book and discuss his brilliance at parties for months. And that will be the total effect of his genius on the world.
Every person who worships at the shrine of intellectualism should read the autobiography of Canada's richest man, Jimmy Pattison, for an inspiring example of a person who IS an intellectual and a practical person all rolled into one.
Trudeau is simply too sheltered to understand economics, and his pathetic homilies must have the world's leaders laughing their butts off behind closed doors.
Yes, Justin, we DO have a modicum of resourcefulness, as does everyone else, but we also have high taxes, a regulatory nightmare that grows worse every year, high labor and energy costs, a green lobby that makes doing business here impractical, for all our "resourcefulness".
But we DO have RESOURCES, Justin, and the resourcefulness to exploit them, if you and the rest of the "anti" factions would get the hell out of the way.

When Ray Tomlinson first invented email back 1971, few visualized the benefits that it would to people. Come the 21st century, the email service still remains on the key platforms to relay information. In this case, entrepreneurs get to use these services to market their brand.
As 2019 unfolds, great expectations are likened to the use of email services. For this reason, I find it prudent to walk you through the eye-catching trends to observe this year.
Gone are the days when email messaging thrived on formal and rigid communication. In 2019, companies have to focus on the larger target group which is the millennials. This generation has become accustomed to the use of casual language.
Moreover, more millennials are getting into the managerial positions in companies. How will casual look like? Well, you will see more humour and laid back texts been sent to the target audience. All this effort will be geared towards driving the message home to the millions of millennials out there.
In the previous years, there have been various attempts to personalize email messaging. So far, companies have been able to pick the first name to reach out to users. Nonetheless, this strategy needs to be taken a notch higher given the competitive edge in the market.
Come 2019, businesses will have to make use of market automation to identify the target group. This implies that you will be able to identify people that are bound to benefit from the products been marketed. If the data is well refined then you will be able to improve on customer engagement.
Aside from coming up with emails for end users, you need to keep tabs of other companies. Given that there are myriad firms out there, you ought to pick the right businesses to work with. In 2019, there will be an emphasis on the use of account-based marketing (ABM).
This platform will be used to assist you to get leads of companies that will benefit from your products and services. To attain the desired output, you ought to spare some time to understand the needs and the working of the company. Once you have done this research then ABM will save you the hassle of sending email blasts to entities that add no value to your business.
Based on a study conducted by email, 22% to 77% of email opens are done via mobile devices. This trend is anticipated to continue in the subsequent years as more people get accustomed to smartphones. As an entrepreneur, you will be forced to avail put more emphasis on mobile responsive emails.
However, this will not be a walk in the park as you have to consider compatibility issues of various gadgets. For instance, you need to have emails services for tablets and other smart devices. Remember, mobile responsive emails make it easy for users to go through the content in any location.
Email Marketing is the most inexpensive way of reaching out to your core audience. Small businesses claim that email marketing is 40 times more effective than Facebook and Twitter combined.
Conventionally, business groups thrived in sending countless emails to online users. The overuse of this strategy has necessitated services such as Gmail and Yahoo to introduce spam option. In 2019, more emphasis will be on the quality of the content availed on the email.
Essentially, you will be frustrated when coming up with emails that will only end up as spams. You should thus take some time to focus on the information entailed in the emails. This further means that you have to look at aspects such as email verification and segmentation. At the end of the day, you need to get revenue from the subscribers.
Endless emails sent to users have made it quite stressful to make use of the platform. At times, you will hear of scenarios where email users change their accounts due to excessive spams. On your end, there is so much that you can do control the number of emails sent to subscribers.
This year, you should expect companies to work on ways to enable customer control incoming emails. For instance, end users may have the option to subscribe or unsubscribe the emails received. You should note that this will be achieved based on research lingering on the preferred products and services here.
Majorly, emails are used to popularize the brand and services offered. However, there is the need to educate email users on the information entailed in this field. At this juncture, you will have to make use of inbound marketing.
Under this, it is anticipated that you will create an environment where users can make inquiries on certain issues. It is through this that visitors get to trust your company and the services provided. You should not forget that this is no phenomenon. The only difference is that more entities will be looking forward to integrating this marketing strategy with the outbound tactic.
Nowadays, there are the likes of Amazon Alexa and Google Home that make use of voice commands. Come 2019, this application is highly expected to make its way into the email world. So what will be able to do? Well, you will be able to compose, delete and send email messages by the use of voice.
That's not all you will be able to get prediction services when it comes to email marketing. The beauty of this is that you get to save on time when it comes to these services. This will give you a chance to focus on other things that will improve the output of your business.
Despite there being alternatives such as social media, email marketing still proves to be a force to reckon with. Instead of turning a blind eye on this platform, you ought to get accustomed to the trends. At the end of the day, there are millions of email users that may help you to get your business to the next level. All you need to do is jump on the bandwagon and follow the trends.

A lot of people ask me how I work so quickly in Photoshop – the truth is I use my own pre-made templates as well as ones downloaded from around the net. It is high time I shed some light on this subject. And here I'm going to do just that. Here are a few quick ways to simplify Photoshop for yourself with presets.
Note: At the end of this tutorial you can download a full collection of 17 presets all in one zip file.
The Preset Manager is what you're going to be using when it comes to importing and exporting presets. You can find it by going to Edit > Presets > Preset Manger.
The manager's default view is Brushes. In this view it will display all brushes you have imported or made by yourself.
From the small gear located at the top right, you can chose a different display mode. My favourite is Large List, but feel free to check out the other ones as well.
The manager allows you to rearrange, rename, save separate sets and delete presets. It's a much better way of organising your presets rather than manually pasting downloaded ones in the respective directories.
Brushes – the name speaks for itself. Simple tools for drawing, retouching, and a lot more. Whether you use Photoshop for drawing or not, you will notice that the newer versions feature brushes that come as close to the look of a realistic brush stroke as possible.
Start by making a new document with an aspect ratio of 1:1. The larger the resolution, the more you will be able to scale the brush.
Use images, combine other brushes, or just experiment with full freedom until you get a brush that looks exactly the way you want it to.
Press Ctrl+Ato select your whole canvas, and then go to Edit > Define Brush Preset.
You can give your brush a name and then press OK to save it.
After saving, it will appear at the bottom of all your other brush presets.
When making posters and other artwork, I really often include one of the brushes from the Watercolor Splatters by pstutorialsws.
For general work and drawing, I always keep going back to the Brush Professional Pack by Roman Melentyev.
Finally, I want to share my own brushes or download brushes shared by others, I go to the official Adobe Photoshop Exchange where I can download tons of presets just by logging in with my Adobe ID.
Swatches are quick colours you can pick up and use at any point in time while working in Photoshop. These are very useful and come in handy for designers who like working by a strict color scheme.
Adding a color to your swatches is probably one of the easiest things in Photoshop. Open the Color Picker by clicking on either the Foreground or Background color.
From here, you can play around and look for the specific color you would like to add.
Pro Tip: If you're working with a specific designer-friendly color palette (Pantone, for example) you can click on the Color Libraries button to browse from a list of palettes built into Photoshop.
After you've found the color, simply click the Add to Swatches button to the right.
Again, you will be able to add a name to your color.
Then it will appear at the bottom of all your other swatches.
I don't use Swatches that often, so this set of 26 differently themed swathes from JustJaimee.com is all I need throughout any kind of work in Photoshop.
Gradients are smoothly blended together colors. Photoshop has some built-in presets, but most of them are horrible and you'll rarely use them. You're best off downloading some from the internet or making some by yourself out of your swatches.
To begin, chose the Gradient Tool from the Tools Panel or by pressing G.
Now click inside the Gradient Preview from the Tool Properties bar.
Click on each color head to change its color. You can change colors with the color picker or by using the eyedropper to sample off your swatches.
To save your gradient, edit its name and press the New button to save it.
There are as many Apple lovers as there are haters. There's not denying Apple's unique and stylish typography, however. The user mppagano helps us get closer to achieving it with his Apple Gradients.
As for background and general web design, I can't live without this awesome Web 2.0 from dezinerfolio.com.
Layer styles combine all of the information about drop shadows, outer glow and all the other properties of a layer's blending options. While it's fun to fiddle around to find the specific look you're going for, you don't always have the time, which is why making templates can come in handy quite often.
I'll Right Click my Text Layer and pick Blending Options from the context menu to open up the Layer Styles window.
To save my layer Style, I'll just click the New Style button, located below Cancel.
I'll give it a name and I'm all done.
Similar to the Web 2.0 Gradients, the same website has some awesome web Styles as well, so check them out.
From time to time I also need to make a button or two for the sake of a better-looking website. This is where the max.designwalker.com Styles for Button Design come in handy.
To make a pattern, start out with your desired dimensions. I will use a 1 by 1 document, 500 x 500 in resolution.
Once you're done, press Ctrl+A to select the entire canvas and go to Edit > Define Pattern.
After you pick the name for your pattern, it saves and at the bottom of all of your other patterns.
A cool pattern that I sometimes put into use in posters is the Seamless Corkboard Pattern from brusheezy.com.
Same website, different uploader – these Sunny Sand Stone Textures can fly in to help you out in a designer emergency more often than you think!
While editing parts of a layer style that support contours (Drop Shadow, Outer Glow, etc.) find the Contours section.
From here, click on the contour icon to enter the Contour Editor.
Using this editor, you can create your own contours. The visual effect on the input and output ratio changes in real time, so you can keep an eye on the final effect on your image easily.
Do I actually use Contours?
Nope. Not in the slightest. The included twelve Photoshop Contours are more than enough if I ever want to mess around with the I/O of an effect. Otherwise, this is a Photoshop feature I don't find myself using too often. Some Photoshop experts and designers might look down on me because of this, but it's just the way I'm used to working. I'd rather completely ditch a layer style than have to tweak its contours to try and make it look better.
If you actually want to use contours, a good place to start would be Adobe Exchange.
Custom Shapes are vectors that you can place on your canvas for added flexibility. These work best if you think you might need to scale your image to a larger resolution in the future and don't want to lose quality.
Making a custom shape (or any kind of vector for that matter) usually happens in Adobe Illustrator. Luckily, provided you have a good high-quality image to start with, you can make the jump to vector in Photoshop as well. Start by loading your image.
Now press and hold Ctrl and click on the layer thumbnail to select the content of the layer.
Go to the paths panel and click on the Make worth path from selection button.
With your path still selected, head over to Edit > Define Custom Shape. Add a name and you're all set.
Do I actually use Custom Shapes?
Very rarely. I prefer Adobe Illustrator for Vector graphics, but nonetheless, shapes4free.com should have you covered for any shape needs you might have.
Each tool in Photoshop is customizable and configurable. However, remembering all of your different tool preferences can be a bit tricky. This is where Tool Presets come in. A tool preset is a tool along with all of its additional settings and with a custom name.
As an example, I will use the brush tool. First, I'll select it by clicking it from the Tools Panel or by pressing the B button on the keyboard.
Now, using the Brush Panel, I can configure each and every detail of my brush.
To save all of my tool preferences, I click on the small arrow to the side of the tool icon in the top panel.
Followed by the small gear button and the New Tool Preset option.
To finalize, I can give my tool a name and I'm all set.
I've looked in many places around the web, but I can never seem to stumble upon a good selection of Tool Presets. So the only thing I can give you is my own personal collection of 17 Tool Presets, including the history brush, gradient tool, crop tool and more.
Just great. I printed the post to read as bedtime !!!! A big thank you.

When I say "Defrosting Dinner," I do not mean a microwave dinner tray. I am a food blogger, after all. I'm talking about what you do after you get that moment of inspiration while at work/school to make some incredible concoction… but you need those chicken breasts that are sitting frozen to the core in your freezer.
None of these are good options. And although I try to be a planner, I definitely do not have all of my meals figured out far enough in advance to pull things out of the freezer. But I recently learned that there may be a fifth, safe option for quickly thawing out your meat.
Although it's a practice long-frowned upon, a study published in the Journal of Food Science has concluded that, at least when it comes to smaller cuts of meat (this study looked at beef steaks), it is safe to speed up the thawing process by submerging them in hot water. In the past, experts have warned us that using water submerging techniques could create a potentially-hazardous, bacteria friendly environment in food. According to this study, the trick to preventing this when using the water method is to be sure the water is very hot (100+ degrees F).
In his article, "A Hot-Water Bath for Thawing Meats," Harold McGee breaks down the findings of the study. He shows that defrosting meat in very hot water works so quickly that bacteria doesn't have a chance to develop. In fact, most meat can be thawed in twenty minutes or less safely using this method, without compromising any quality. Much better than waiting for hours for meat to thaw in the fridge.
To be perfectly honest, I've been using this method to thaw meat long before this study determined it was safe. Lots of people are aware that frozen food thaws much more quickly when submerged in water than in the refrigerator, and unlike the other go-to quick thaw method- the microwave- you don't accidentally cook the meat. Still, it's nice when science confirms our strategy is safe!
While we're on the subject, check out these USDA-approved meat-thawing methods. Note that this article was published before our time-saving study was, and the article doesn't mention the submerging-in-water method.
How do you defrost meat when you're in a pinch?
Are you a planner and thawing generally isn't an issue? Do you have your own secret method? Or does the hot water method give you the heebie jeebies?
Haha I just forwarded this to my boyfriend. It is perfect.
I apprecite meat but the 1 thing is how hard it is when frozen that bothers me. I gotta try this!!
I'll have to say I've tried them all and look you never got sick from any of them! The best method is to plan ahead, but if I'm really stuck or get struck from last minute inspiration, the microwave on 50-60% power can do the trick without cooking the meat. It just takes longer.
Oh, man. I hate defrosting meat…which is usually why most of my recipes are heavy on the veggies!


Yesss! Took me 9 hours to assemble it and then few more (spread throughout the last week) to figure out how to calibrate and tweak it.
Oh thats great. We should mention that you can remove the paper on the back of the acrylic so its clear. This is left on to protect it in transit.
