"A little more than a week ago, as Mohammed Ali Kalfood reported in The Intercept, “Fighter jets from a Saudi-led [U.S. and U.K.-supported] coalition bombed a market in Mastaba, in Yemen’s northern province of Hajjah. The latest count indicates that about 120 people were killed, including more than 20 children, and 80 were wounded in the strikes.” Kalfood interviewed 21-year-old Yemeni Khaled Hassan Mohammadi, who said, “We saw airstrikes on a market last Ramadan, not far from here, but this attack was the deadliest.” Over the past several years, the U.S. has launched hideous civilian-slaughtering strikes in Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, Libya, and Iraq."This is part of their role as propagandists for rulers.

Microsoft AI adopts racist speech within hours of being unleashed on Twitter. More.
"Recently, Microsoft put an AI experiment onto Twitter, naming it "Tay". The bot was built to be fully aware of the latest adolescent fixations (e.g. celebrities and similar), and to interact like a typical teen girl. In less than 24 hours, it inexplicably became a neo-nazi sex robot with daddy issues. Sample tweets from it proclaimed that "Hitler did nothing wrong!", then went on to blame former President Bush for 9/11, stated that "donald trump is the only hope we've got", and other similar instances. As the hours passed, it all went downhill from there, eventually spewing racial slurs and profanity, demanding sex, and calling everyone "daddy". The bot was quickly removed once Microsoft discovered the trouble, but the hashtag is still around for those who want to see it in its ugly raw splendor."Now we know what Twitter does to teens, albeit to a lesser extent, I hope.

The west is intentionally breaking up Arab countries.
"In his testimony before a US Senate committee to discuss the Syria ceasefire, Secretary of State, John Kerry revealed that his country is preparing a “Plan B” should the ceasefire fail. Kerry refrained from offering specifics; however, he offered clues. It may be “too late to keep Syria as a whole, if we wait much longer,” he indicated.The possibility of dividing Syria was not a random warning, but situated in a large and growing edifice of intellectual and media text in the US and other western countries. It was articulated by Michael O’Hanlon of the Brookings Institute in a Reuter’s op-ed last October. He called for the US to find a “common purpose with Russia”, while keeping in mind the “Bosnia model.”Playing god, or rather the devil, in Syria as Hillary did in Libya.
“In similar fashion, a future Syria could be a confederation of several sectors: one largely Alawite – another Kurdish – a third, primarily Druse – a fourth, largely made up of Sunni Muslims; and then a central zone of intermixed groups in the country’s main population belt from Damascus to Aleppo.”
What is dangerous about O’Hanlon’s solution for Syria is not the complete disregard of Syria’s national identity. Frankly, many western intellectuals never even subscribed to the notion that Arabs were nations in the western definition of nationhood, in the first place. (Read Aaron David Miller article: Tribes with Flags) No, the real danger lies in the fact that such a divisive dismantling of Arab nations is very much plausible, and historical precedents abound."

"The paper is for MT, not LT…but I think we can assume that changes in one will be reflected in the other when Mears completes their analysis.From what little we have looked at so far, it appears that they did not correct for spurious warming in NOAA-14 MSU relative to NOAA-15 AMSU…see their Fig. 7c. They just leave it in.Yes.
Since this spurious warming is near the middle of the whole time period, this shifts the second half of the satellite record warmer when NOAA-14 MSU (the last in the MSU series) is handed off to NOAA-15 AMSU (the first in the AMSU series).
Why do we think NOAA-14 MSU is at fault?
1) AMSU is supposed to have a “Cadillac” calibration design (that’s the term a NASA engineer, Jim Shiue, used when describing to me the AMSU design, which he was involved in).
2) NOAA-14 MSU requires a large correction for the calibrated TB increasing with instrument temperature as the satellite drifts into a different orbit. The NOAA-15 AMSU requires no such correction…and it wasn’t drifting during the period in question anyway.
So, it looks like they decided to force good data to match bad data. Sound familiar?"
El Nino makes February warmest ever.
Real data shows pause ending because of el Nino, but it will be back afterward.

ISIS employs non-US strong encryption. This will enable calls for one world government anti-encryption. This is why rulers love terrorists.
Feds switched from Blackberry to iPhones because of Apples default encryption, and the FBI wants to break it.

War on Drugs
Alcohol and nicotine are two of the five most addictive substances known, yet there's little crime associated with them because they're legal. Cocaine, heroin and barbiturates are the others.
Local
Here's where local jobs are coming from.
"An investigation from Dayton Daily News Reporter Thomas Gnaucoming this afternoon shows from mid-November to mid-December, Kettering Medical Center had the third most online jobs listings in the region, according to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. Competing hospital system Premier Health was fourth in the region.Registered nurses are in high demand in this region. Behind truck drivers, register nurses are the second highest positions sought by employers, according to Gnau’s investigation. More than 560 ads for openings for registered nurses were posted during that same period."Profiting from illness.
"Gnau reports that technology-oriented jobs in general also are strong in Dayton. Oracle was top on the ODJFS’s online advertising tracker from mid-November to mid-December with 327 online ads."That won't last.
Federal Reserve
The downward spiral from ZIRP to NIRP.
“The Federal Reserve is a key component of the American Transfer State. Under the guise of “macroeconomic management,” it redistributes vast amounts of wealth on an ongoing basis through inflation. The victims of these transfers are ordinary Americans. The beneficiaries are the government and its elite cronies.”“The Fed masks the nature of this surreptitious taxation and corporate welfare by performing a simple shell game that is just complicated enough to confound the general public.”How it works.
Regulation
Romania's great internet network is a result of lack of regulation.
Heavy regulations precede US economic busts.
British government wants to ban adblocking.
Proposal for regulation of data and algorithms. That would be disastrous.
Heavy regulations precede US economic busts.
"Typically, cronyism involves support of politicians in exchange for regulations denying others the freedom to compete with the moneyed interests (e.g., monopolies). Less competition leads to higher costs and lower quality. It reduces economic growth, jobs, wages, innovation, and productivity."Yep.
"Attempts to control economic growth through government spending and/or manipulating interest rates (e.g., stimulate growth with low rates) generally leads to more severe crises."Lovely.

Why the party elite hate insurgent candidates.
"The biggest myth in politics is that political parties are in business to win elections. Thesecriminal cartels are in business to maintain their networks of crony corruption, patronage, and payoff which are their reasons for being. The National Security State, driven by the imperial presidency, an acquiescent congress and a complacent federal judiciary, has destroyed the American Republic. Their parasitic welfare-warfare state, enabled by the Fed, fosters and promotes the profligacy and dependency which is at the root of this destructive process.One of the great lies about American politics is that Republicans genuinely subscribe to a set of core convictions that make Republicans different from Democrats.Exactly.
Day by day, their meaningless stands on diversionary issues such as immigration, same-sex marriage, or the “war on drugs” have merged until little distinction remains. They are now but factions in the one true political party in America — the Incumbent Party. Despite all posturing and pretense, their only real dispute concerns whose clients will get the loot. . . and whose the bill."
