[Ministry] As good as it gets, clear as it gets, succinct overview of armageddon
by Zenaan Harkness 12 Dec '17

12 Dec '17

These articles are for some, comedy gold, but for others, particularly Liberly Lefty Snowflakes, this is the worst of heathen hereticism. Just remember, it's not a conspiracy if all the little voices in your head, are in agreement. This is not short, but is well put together, links and all, with a solid twist of dry on the rocks - required reading for all snowflakes of course... ** 2017: The Year of the Headless Liberal Chicken https://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413… ------------------------------------------------------------ by CJ Hopkins on Tue, Dec 12, 2017 According to the Chinese zodiac, 2017 has been the Year of the Rooster. Myself, I’ve decided to designate it the Year of the Headless Liberal Chicken. I don’t mean that to be insulting … or, all right, I guess I do, a little. But my heart goes out to liberals, seriously. At this point, the amount of utterly baseless, contradictory propaganda, mass hysteria, and just flat out insanity the ruling classes have demanded they swallow is more than any human mind, no matter how medicated, could possibly handle. Is it any wonder so many of them of lost it and started seeing Nazis and Russians coming out of the woodwork? Just consider what the average liberal has been forced to try to cognitively reconcile since the tragic events of last November … And another fine hit piece - hit piece because it's so well researched and contains so many facts such as this juicy nugget (one amongst many mind you) “A person from the Russian president’s office called and asked for [Luke Harding's] mobile number. Unable to imagine a single good reason why a Russian government official would need a cell phone number for the Guardian’s Russia bureau chief, he refused.” So for these and many other dastardly facts about those sinister Russians lurking in the shadows, ready to deliver the gulag on a moment's breath, read on for the true, fascinating, and truly fascinating facts surrounding the treatment of Luke Harding, The Guardian's Russia bureau chief: ** The Bizarre Paranoia of the Guardian's #1 Russia-Hater (Luke Harding) https://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413… ------------------------------------------------------------ by BLACKCATTE on Tue, Dec 12, 2017 The degenerate state of modern journalism has allowed for all sorts of freakish characters to bubble to the surface, people who are both cunning and intensely stupid at the same time, who busy about believing they are crusaders for truth, when in fact they are peddling death. Harding is definitely in the winners circle in this horse race of boobs. Evelyn Waugh could not have invented a more preposterous character. For history buffs who enjoy possible insights: ** Lenin Won Because He Was Bold and Daring in a Sea of Degeneracy https://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413… ------------------------------------------------------------ by Eric King on Tue, Dec 12, 2017 Last month was the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution. Partially because of that fact, I have been reading a great deal about the Russian Revolution and the rise of the Bolshevik party. What I have learned has surprised me. I am someone who studies revolutions. I thought that I understood the Russian Revolution but I had, in fact, missed two central elements of the revolutionary period: uncertainty and fear. To begin with, during the early stages of the Russian Revolution it was uncertain as to who actually held power. The Bolsheviks seized control of many of the governmental buildings in Petrograd, including the Winter Palace, the former home of the Romanov Dynasty, but it wasn’t clear that this gave them the right or ability to rule Russia.

[Ministry] - the saving grace of chutzpah: Joel Stein “it just shows how dumb America has gotten. Jews totally run Hollywood”
by Zenaan Harkness 12 Dec '17

12 Dec '17

Trigger Warning: In these years of The Ministry, some facts are more equal/ tolerable than others, and others simply are not allowed to be discussed publicly — at least, not without triggering a snoflake or two million (HAH!) - so be warned, the following will trigger you if you're a Liberal Lefty Snowflake. --- Joel Stein has Jewish cred (at least one hint would be in his name), and slam dunks a few facts about Jewish control of Hollywood, for those who missed the memo. Ministry speak, the hiding of facts, and the lack of awareness of our fellow humans are one of the greatest problems we face in any pursuit of change for the future - if we don't know what we're even up against, how can we possibly create a change for the better? Joel Stein (as with many other chosen bastards) is certainly not backwards in being forwards about how damn chosen he is, along with all his fellow "tribal lord" chosen bastards - and frankly, this is a really good thing - in fact there's more honesty with the typical Jew in power, than there is the typical goy, at least AFAICT… Thank God for Jewish chutzpah! November 13, 2017 https://davidduke.com/thank-god-for-jewish-chutzpah/ Quoting Stein in the LA times (http://articles.latimes.com/2008/dec/19/opinion/oe-stein19) “I have never been so upset by a poll in my life. Only 22% of Americans now believe “the movie and television industries are pretty much run by Jews,” down from nearly 50% in 1964. The Anti-Defamation League … sees in these numbers a victory against stereotyping. Actually, it just shows how dumb America has gotten. Jews totally run Hollywood.” Stein goes on to identify the name and the tribe of just about all the leading moguls of Hollywood. … He speaks of a meeting with Abe Foxman, then head of the ADL, who tells Stein it is dangerous to say that “Jews Control Hollywood.” “That’s a very dangerous phrase, ‘Jews control Hollywood.’ What is true is that there are a lot of Jews in Hollywood,” he [ADL head Foxman] said. Instead of “control,” Foxman would prefer people say that many executives in the industry “happen to be Jewish,” as in “all eight major film studios are run by men who happen to be Jewish.” Stein then writes, “I appreciate Foxman’s concerns. And maybe my life spent in a New Jersey-New York/Bay Area-L.A. pro-Semitic cocoon has left me naive. But I don’t care if Americans think we’re running the news media, Hollywood, Wall Street or the government. I just care that we get to keep running them.” and on it goes ... Fundamentally, as Duke highlights the classic Ministry problem, “Jewish power is so ubiquitous and is the one power that cannot be acknowledged”. There are some people who are highly competent at acting as a tribe with a very real homogeneous group-think, which few if any others even conceive of, let alone live. There is power in tribal awareness, in group dynamics, and the goy are trained to revel in their compassion and equality of everyone, and naturally project these assumptions and natures onto everyone else - lack of wisdom is no estoppel to self defeating actions, that's for bloody sure… We fail to wake up to our own peril. Good luck all, Z

Bitcoin... Destroying the planet
by Michael Nelson 12 Dec '17

12 Dec '17

The mapping between Bitcoin and energy is missing the point, from the point of view of understanding the system. The correct mapping is between Bitcoin and the *price* of energy. If electricity were 10 times as expensive, Bitcoin mining use of electric power would drop by a factor of 10 (for a given BTC price). The point of spending money on mining is to be competitive. The absolute amount of power is irrelevant. This means that if governments raised the price of electricity, or resources used for generating it, then BTC would never be a problem. Not trivial to do, admittedly, but the point here is to understand the system. With things like automobiles and air-conditioners, raising electricity prices would improve the situation (regarding what economists call "externalities"), but degrade the user experience. Well, raising prices would improve the external impact of Bitcoin, but would have no effect on the correct functioning of the Bitcoin model. Whereas an automobile still uses the same amount of fuel to get you from A to B, when you raise the price of fuel, Bitcoin instantly drops the amount of fuel it uses, but continues to function just as well. Interestingly, environmentalists do not so much blame the automobile and the drivers as much as governments for allowing the tolerance of them, and rightly so. They say that we need fuel prices and taxes that reflect the impact on the environment, and we need support for alternative energy sources, etc. So why blame poor old Bitcoin? Mike

Hope you are feeling better today, more hopeful and happy. It's a holiday in my city, is raining, and I love you! <3 Some weeks ago, I had a very hard conversation with some friends and I decided to avoid and/or boycott all the events with sexist or unfair codes of conduct. Good sense and conversation should be enough among rational people. We do not need hundreds of rules. It's ridiculous to prejudge someone because of their gender, race, sexual choice, whatever. Well, I became a kind of "case" for being the first girl of the Human Sciences Area to become a co-founder and a member of the PyLadies in my country. After a lot of discussions, I left my own group, considered actually the biggest Brazilian female coding group, because of the prejudice of some members (cis women) against men and trans women. They seem to hate any human being with a penis and some of them say that feel very "uncomfortable" with trans women "because they are not like us". I did sincerely reject it with all my heart. They are using their vaginas like weapons to justify making the same kind of discrimination and violent attacks that we used to suffer in the past. We have vaginas, but we are not victims and now it's time for talking about technology and stop with all the drama. Shit, I want more and more women talking about technology, not anymore about how hard is to be a woman talking about tech, how hard is being a woman, the eternal non-stop victimism. Yes, we still have victims, but we also need to show some work instead of only drama. God, it is not impossible or so hard! We just need a bit more of good-will and patience. I was and I am still the moderator of the PyLadies and Django Girls Brazilian lists, but we had a horrible discussion about the fact I always approve male confirmed collaborators, which I've known in person. They are helping the groups, so they deserve the chance of giving their opinions and feedbacks about important subjects, like our meetings. I don't know if Freud can explain it, but some of these women are mean, selfish, and just want fame, become known in the tech area, and seem to see men like stronger candidates for the same jobs and talks. Last week, some evil women very, very limited and stupid wanted to punish a girl who tweeted a post only because it was written by a man. Can you believe it? It was so ridiculous, so surreal, that I decided to become more present in the discussions and a little bit more "savage". My English stinks, but my Portuguese is precise and very good, so I can present several rational arguments and... well... you can imagine the drama, uff... I am very unhappy too, my dear. And I am a cute hetero cis woman, "a poor victim". :(( Little kisses, hot chocolate and cozy snugglehugs! <3 Ceci ========== On Wed, Nov 22, 2017 at 8:28 AM, Cecilia Tanaka <cecilia.tanaka(a)gmail.com> wrote: I read an old joke and I should not laugh, but I did it. ;P "My friend said I make him feel uncomfortable because I violate his personal space. I was hurt. He completely ruined our bath." Oh, I forgot to say I don't tweet using the PyLadies account. Only three girls do it and I personally appreciate a lot two of them, more rational and mature than the others. The "fucking horrible tweet" was a post about Turing written by a man. The retard who made a scandal and sent us a message saying "we are sharing a post written by a man about another man" was particularly aggressive. God, I love Turing and my heart always breaks when I think about his sad history... And the PyLadies account should be used to share interesting news and posts about technology, not only Python news and just women's posts. It's sexism, feminazism, and I reject this. Fuck all the rules that they want to put in one more Conduct Code. I respect human beings because of their knowledge, their character, not because of their genitals. I love you, dear.

This could be subtitled "biting the hand that feeds you", and the conclusion to this relatively short history recap (if you can call it such), is nothing short of "surprisingly astonishing" (to riff on Mercedes marketing clichés such as “surprisingly quick” [for a 2.5 tonne car, aka plant food- and soot- generating machine]. Iran - saviour of the Jews - three fricken' times! And what gratitude do the modern Persians get? Endless propaganda about how they "want" to totally destroy Israel.
