I can’t. I just…can’t listen to it. Alex Jones is the shame of South Austin. A raving nut job of whack conspiracy theories. From fluoride to chem trails, to 9-11 was an inside job, he is all in.

It’s like the horrific car wreck on the side of the road. Sometimes you just have to keep your eyes forward and refuse to rubberneck.

Well I’m off to bed. Sunday I’m going to be the dive leader for a group from Wounded Warriors. They (the dive shop) want me to bring (as they termed it) “your good cameras” to get some publicity pics for the WW project. I’ll be shooting the Canon 60d above water and the Olympus PL-1 and GoPros underwater.

Hope to hell I have the right one in my hand when I jump in. :)

Yes, he just can’t see that his rationalizations about bombing abortion clinics (because in his view they do bad things) are the same as the rationalizations that any other terrorist would employ.

Yep. It’s official. This MacBook Pro needs to go. I changed the setting to the Tap to Click on the touchpad and it worked fine for a few minutes. Now it’s right back to being useless for me to do my job.

I’m sitting here getting angry at the fact that I can’t even take basic screenshots with out trying over and over and over and over to get it right, and just getting a cursor into the posting area for this post took several tries before I had to use a lot of force to get it to show up. TCWSNBN and his team went bananas on Twitter and FB today — over a dozen FB posts and over 30 tweets — so this is not a small issue for me.

I looked at the model number. It’s this one:

pcworld.com

I didn’t buy it, obviously. They gave it to me at work. The original laptop I had at work was a lot more powerful and was meant for a graphic designer, so when we hired a designer, they switched out my laptop for this one.

It worked fine for a while, but now it’s getting more and more frustrating to do my job.

My Lenovo laptop (SL400) has a Synaptics touchpad that started going bonkers after only three years. It would screw up the entire mouse system, so the cursor would randomly move across the screen of its own accord, and the right click context menu would pop up randomly. Finally, after searching on the Intertubes I found that this particular model has a history of glitchy touchpads and the only way to deal with it was to disable the touchpad in Control Panel. (No BIOS setting) I’ve been able to keep the laptop running for three more years without much trouble.

I typically use a mouse, and sometimes the trackpoint, so losing the touchpad function was no biggie for me.

An obvious question:

Can We Cure Genetic Diseases Without Slipping Into Eugenics?

The answer is not, in part because I think the question is sort of forcing the questioning down paths from the past that are more to do with fighting the old battles of the past than anything else.

The circumstances of the paper’s publication underline the fact that the core of the CRISPR debate is not about the technological challenge but the ethical one: that gene editing could enable a new eugenics, a eugenics of personal choice, in which humans guide their own evolution individually and in families. Commentators are lining up as conservatives and liberals on the issue. Conservatives, such as Jennifer Doudna (one of CRISPR’s inventors) and the Nobel laureates David Baltimore and Paul Berg, have called for cautious deliberation. They were among those who proposed the moratorium on using CRISPR on human embryos. “You could exert control over human heredity with this technique,” said Baltimore. George Q. Daley, of Boston Children’s Hospital, said that CRISPR raises the fundamental issue of whether we are willing to “take control of our genetic destiny.” Are we ready to edit our children’s genomes to perfection, as in the movie Gattaca? Could the government someday pass laws banning certain genetic constitutions or requiring others?

The use of categories that originate (in our political dialogue) from the era of the French Revolution don’t work well here, I think. What is “liberal” about genetic editing? What the parties involved really mean is “slower” or “faster” in regards to researching the use of gene editing in human applications.

An outlet like The Nation are stuck in offering their product (articles) in the current on-line supermarket of punditry, and thus casting every issue into the contemporary paradigm designed to make people pick sides - in other words, a sports tournament.

Each instance of this pattern, however, occurs in a different context, both scientifically and culturally. And while scientists, philosophers, and other commentators have been discussing the scientific risks and merits of CRISPR ad nauseam, no one seems to be placing the debate itself in this broader historical setting. Over the last 150 years of efforts to control human evolution, the focus on the object of control has tightened, from the population, to the individual, to the gene—and now, with CRISPR, to the single letters of our DNA code. Culturally, during this period, the pendulum has swung from cooperative collectivism to neoliberalism. The larger question, then, is: With the emergence of gene editing during an era of self-interested free-market individualism, will eugenics become acceptable and widespread again?

Since the author is against gene editing, he is intentionally using emotionally-ladened hot button words.

A deeper question which is being avoided is “What makes a person?” and this is the same issue over abortion (and other social issues of our day.)

Another aspect that the author will not admit is that humans always look to improve themselves, so all the institutions and traditions surrounding mating can also be called “eugenics”. In the old days when parents arranged marriages they were also practicing husbandry on humanity, an analogy to selecting which bull to put in the pen with the cows.

After several paragraphs painting the horrors of eugenics and the association with “progressives”, the author states:

Further, the free market commodifies all. Neoliberal eugenics creates a disturbing tendency to regard ourselves, one another, and especially our children as specimens to be improved. The view that “the genome is not perfect,” as John Harris, another pro-enhancement philosopher, puts it, perpetuates the notion of genetic hygiene. Even cautious reports, like one that appeared recently in the International Business Times, propagate this idea: “any hope that [CRISPR] will help physicians ensure spotless genomes,” they write, remains distant. Not to put too fine a point on it, but whatever the time line, the goal of a spotless genome implies genetic cleansing.

This is a debating technique - putting into the opponent’s words which may not actually be there.

The reality is that numerous diseases - conditions of ill-health and difficult lives - arise from combination of alleles that have arisen due to mutations. (Obviously there are many other health issues that have to do with lifestyle or life-events.) Gene editing will provide a way to stop that.

Fear-mongering over scientists trying to make people “perfect” is simply a way to try and paint that form of health service in a dark light.

The author, Nathaniel Comfort, then goes on for several paragraphs writing as socialist moralist, condemning neo-liberalism and the asymmetries in society.

Further, molecular problems have molecular solutions. The eternal eugenic targets—disease, IQ, social deviance—are overdetermined; one can explain them equally as social or as biomedical problems. When they’re defined as social problems, their solutions require reforming society. But when we cast them in molecular terms, the answers tend to be pharmaceutical or genetic. The source of the problem becomes the individual; the biomedical-industrial complex, along with social inequities, escape blame.

Here he is being dishonest because there simply are negative human conditions that truly are molecular in origin. Him writing these off as just more problems that can be addressed by fixing societal problems is just wrong.

In short, neoliberal eugenics is the same old eugenics we’ve always known. When it comes to controlling our evolution, individualism and choice point toward the same outcomes as authoritarian collectivism: a genetically stratified society resistant to social change—one that places the blame for society’s ills on individuals rather than corporations or the government.

I’ll be excited to watch the workaday applications of techniques like CRISPR unfold, in medicine and, especially, basic science. But sexy debates over whether reproductive biotechnology will permit us to control our genetic evolution merely divert us from the cultural evolution that we must undertake in order to see meaningful improvement in human lives.

His punchline though could be applied to almost any topic, not only gene editing.

The author is on war against neo-liberalism, and he’s simply using the CRISPR innovation because he can throw around the word “eugenics” many times.

U.S. soldiers test upgrade of M2A3 Bradley IFV with cameras to increase situational awareness.

U.S. Soldiers, with Company A, 2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, tested a new capability for the the Bradley M2A3 Armoured Infantry Fighting Vehicle, June 25. The budding capability is designed to be installed into existing armored vehicles to give troopers inside a 360-degree picture of what’s going on around them.

SNIP

The TARDEC team outfitted two Bradleys with cameras outside the vehicles and installed tablets in the areas where infantrymen would sit. The tablets simultaneously displayed up to four different video feeds and a map of the area.

In addition, the two vehicles could tap into each other’s camera feeds, allowing them to see around both vehicles.

Usually, Soldiers sit and wait for a Bradley to come to a halt and then lower the ramp. Equipped with the new upgrades, Soldiers are better prepared to safely execute their missions, said Staff Sgt. Michael Sabo.

SNIP

“We just bought off-the-shelf equipment or used existing government technology to see if we can do it inside of a vehicle already in the inventory, just to demonstrate the capability,” [Maj. Stephen] Tegge said. “We picked the Bradley, because we knew Fort Hood had them, and there is an infrastructure for the vehicle. The crews were already trained in 3rd Brigade. We knew there were trained crews ready to help.”

That whole article is just a smoke screen, of course. As Alex Jones has shown, the Real Purpose of equipping Bradleys with cameras in Texas is so that they record any Jade Helm Resistors they come across to facilitate the deportation of those True Patriots to FEMA Camps.

More info on Gawker’s crimes against Journalism here:

deepfreeze.it

Specifically, GG is mostly concerned with Gawker’s gaming imprint, Kotaku.

(GamerGate, despite what the common narrative started by Gawker claims, was sparked off when a writer for Gawker covered his friend/romantic interest repeatedly without a disclaimer. Rather than add said disclaimer when contacted, Gawker decided to call all gamers bigoted white men who didn’t need to be anyone’s audience anymore.)

One specific thing that’s relevant is how Gawker slandered Brad Wardell to the point that they damn near ruined his career — something that was intentional sensationalism for clicks. Sound familiar?

This isn’t the first time Gawker’s decided to ruin someone’s life just to get people to go to their website. It won’t be the last — unless Hulk Hogan wins in court, then they’re out of business.

(For those not in the know, Gawker got Hulk Hogan’s sex tape, posted it, was court ordered to remove it, didn’t repeatedly, and now are being sued into oblivion by Hogan. They almost definitely won’t last the year.)

The article was probably timed to coincide with this:

Presidents of National Academy of Medicine and National Academy of Sciences Present new initiative on ethics of human gene editing technology

Victor J. Dzau, MD, President of the National Academy of Medicine, and Ralph J. Cicerone, PhD, President of the National Academy of Sciences, emphasize the great promise that new, more powerful and efficient genome editing techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9 hold for improving human health and boosting food production in their Editorial “Responsible Use of Human Gene-Editing Technologies” in a special issue of Human Gene Therapy devoted to genome editing. Use of these innovative molecular tools to modify human germline DNA, however, raises technical, social, and ethical issues that will be the focus of a multidisciplinary, international initiative led by the Academies, as described in the Editorial published in Human Gene Therapy, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available free on the Human Gene Therapy website until October 15, 2015.

[…]

Responsible Use of Human Gene-Editing Technologies

[…]

Gene-editing technologies hold great promise for advancing science and improving human health. For instance, the genomes of plants and animals could be modified to boost agriculture and food production, and the technology potentially could be used to edit somatic cells to cure genetic diseases such as sickle cell disease.6 However, these technologies also raise a number of ethical and social considerations. Of particular concern is the potential to make permanent modifications to human DNA in the nuclei of cells in eggs, sperm, or human embryos that are then passed down to succeeding generations. This is known as human germline editing.

As a result, the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Medicine are launching a major initiative to guide decision making about research involving human gene editing.7 We have appointed a multidisciplinary advisory group that will help steer our initiative. This fall, we will host an international summit to assemble researchers and other experts to explore the scientific, ethical, and policy issues associated with human gene-editing research. In addition, the academies will convene a multidisciplinary, international committee to undertake an in-depth study to examine the scientific underpinnings; clinical implications; and ethical, legal, and social aspects of the use of current and developing human genome editing technologies in biomedical research and medicine. The study will take a global perspective, and committee members will represent a wide range of expertise from diverse disciplines such as bioethics.

There are further wrinkles to the Bollea (Hogan) - Gawker legal problems.

For example, the FBI has further information on the videos. Gawker wants the FBI to give them access to them the help in their defense. FBI refused. Court orders FBI to comply. FBI says it can’t because there “is an ongoing investigation” by law enforcement officials.

That “investigation” appears to be from a Florida law agency. Turns out the office involved… may be friends with Hogan. So the question arises did Hogan get a buddy to open an investigation just so the FBI could block releasing more embarrassing vids of Hogan?

Reminiscing: The man behind the #PlannedParenthood sting and (of course) me

I wasn’t going to weigh in on David Daleiden, the genius whose ass I’m kissing now. I was going to let my friend have his moment without stepping in it — I mean, on it.

But people are making stuff up about him and me — that’s mostly true — and I wanted to correct the record. Also, his name is in the media now about that Planned Parenthood sting, so I want to share some of that spotlight, too.

The Daily Beast’s Samantha Allen says she reached out to me before she published an article saying David and I are good friends. She didn’t.

But David and I ARE good friends, as you will soon see, so mostly I’m angry she lied about reaching to me. That bitch.

UPDATE: The Twitter account that may or may not be Chuck C. Johnson

Today was a very active and enlightening day for the @RonReaganLives Twitter account. Several links to GotNewsDotCom stories, a few references to Chuck C. Johnson, and then there was this one.


Charles won his bet, probably before he even placed it.

Well, at the very least I’d say recruiting centers should have 2 pistol lockboxes, in case someone tries this sort of shit again. That way the guns stay out of sight and aren’t being carried directly, but they are near to hand if needed.

Would folks here support that as a compromise?

Think about attempting to access them in a hurry, especially if under attack. To paraphrase Yoda :do or don’t.

As for bases, command has restricted privately owned weapons since at least the post Civil War army. I’m in full support of that. Let the MP’s be armed but no one else when not needing to be for the conduct of their duties.

The lockboxes were more to provide a compromise that would get me labeled as shouting “MOAR GUNZ!!1”. I understand their limitations.

Ahh, so the same shit they always shriek about then. I was listening to NPR this morning and the sanctions being lifted are so tiny as to be basically meaningless to us. Commercial airplane parts, maybe a couple of other small things after companies go through a process to ensure that business is limited to specifics. There will not be any large opening of markets to US companies directly, at least not for many years. So most of the sanctions are still in place. Europe on the other hand is in a different position, as are US companies that have international subsidiaries. So the freak out as usual is a concoction of paranoia and stupid.

I swear, there should be nationally mandated reading comprehension classes.

Full Metal Jacket, anyone?

There was a reason that the military changed the requirements on base. There were far too many unauthorized use of firearms - suicides, accidental shootings, and homicides that the military determined it was safer for all on base to have service weapons locked up than have everyone with firearms. That still stands.

There’s some chatter that there are high level Israeli officials willing to break with Bibi over his anti-deal stance. This is the part that bothers me about the whole thing.

Bibi has spent the last 20+ years saying that Iran is just a few years to a few months from having a nuclear weapon. He’s been wrong on each and every utterance.

Now, this deal isn’t a panacea, but it does stretch out the potential for Iran to have a weapon to another 10+ years. It includes oversight and verification that was not even there before, so we will know what’s going on. It includes changing how the Iranian nuclear power plants and facilities operate and keeps tight track on enriched uranium, and somehow this is a bad deal for Israel?

It’s bad for Bibi because he loses a bogeyman. It’s bad because he now has to justify that a deal that stretches out the timeline to 10+ years is worse than being just a few months to a few years away as he’s been claiming for 2 decades.

And it goes without saying that the GOP is bought into the Bibi line regardless that they had no alternatives - only “a better deal should have been negotiated” without identifying what they would have said/done different.

The GOP response to Obamacare has been delay, deny, and destroy (repeal). 50+ attempts later, several Supreme Court challenges, and it’s still here. And the GOP still seeks to slash and burn the program.

They keep talking about alternatives, except there isn’t any actual plan. In 6+ years they’ve come up with nothing. Not a single thing. It’s vaporware, and you can be assured that whatever they may eventually propose is the equivalent of malware, because it will suck even worse than whatever the worst case they suggest about the ACA.

Taking the Bibi line is a no-brainer for the GOP, quite literally. It doesn’t call for any real thought or reasoning, just mindlessly declaring that if Israel (read: Bibi Netanyahu) is against the deal, then it’s a bad deal. Why does Israel hate the deal? Well, obviously because Israel doesn’t think it will work. Why don’t they think it will work? Because they don’t trust Iran and neither should we! If you think Israel’s wrong to reject this deal, then you want another Holocaust, you Nazi!

If the Republican arguments against the Iran deal are anything like the wingnuts I’ve run into, they’ll be entirely circular, though the media will never confront them about it. In their minds, the sanctions were totally working to get Iran to do what we want, so all we needed to do to get Iran’s total compliance was just to crank up the sanctions more. But the sanctions were only effective because we had cooperation on them with our allies (Europe) and our semi-allies (Russia, China), cooperation that was already on the verge of collapse if the talks failed. And they’ll insist that the sanctions were keeping Iran from building a bomb, despite the “break-out” time for a bomb going from years to months since the sanctions began.

So the GOP’s argument is going to be that the alternative to this “bad” deal was to push more sanctions that weren’t working even though the sanction regime was crumbling under the pressure that a bottled up Iranian economy was putting on them. And war? Well, the GOP will insist that they don’t really want war, but it should be an “option” used to force Iran to do what we want.

Good point. Seems unavoidable that it would mess up access to other things as well. Border fence proponents give me the impression that they believe that fencing the US/Mexico border is a easy as fencing your yard - only bigger. Remember the Virtual Fence? That only cost us a billion dollars to cover 53 miles of the Arizona border, and it wasn’t effective. The program was cancelled when it was shown that a combination of mobile surveillance systems and unmanned drones could effectively cover the other 323 miles of the border for $750 million.

re: #175 Higgs Boson’s Mate

Other considerations aside, have the people promoting a border fence considered the reaction of Texas ranchers to having a portion of their land taken so that a federal government fence can be built on it and federal agents can then patrol it? Shit would make Bundy Ranch look like a Girl Scout Cookie sale.

You know The Donald plans on building it on Mexico’s side of the border. That’s why they will pay for it. It’ll be their wall.

Actually. Mexico might be in favor of this. Keeps all those nasty American’s from coming to their country…especially guys like Trump.

re: #192 Franklin

Serious question and I haven’t read all the details.

BUT the “gun free” zone was at the recruitment office in a strip mall correct? The base, as Booby Jindal references, was I’m sure armed to the teeth. Am I wrong here?

Correct. And base commanders uniformly reject the idea of open-carry (and even conceal carry) on base unless they are required as part of their duty (e.g., MP, shore patrol, certain watches/guards). Frankly, I was glad that none of my fellow sailors or Marines were armed on base. Just because college-aged kids made it through boot and advanced training doesn’t mean they have any more moral authority or maturity than college-aged at University of XYZ.

They just do not see the logical disconnect there.

How do you think they’d react if Obama made an announcement today saying construction on a wall was starting today - with the caveat that anyone with property along the construction line would be required to give up their land by virtue of eminent domain?

If Trump was to be elected, it wouldn’t long until finding a job in Mexico at any wage would be attractive to Americans.

And, BTW, has anyone told him that the president can’t unilaterally declare bankruptcy for America?

re: #183 CuriousLurker

Let’s see, there are approximately 1.6 billion of us spread around the planet, so if each one of us kills at least one non-Muslim to celebrate Ramadan, then that’s, lets see… 7,000,000,000 - 1,600,000,000 = 5,400,000,000… and since 5.4 ÷ 1.6 = 3.375 I guess that means we’re gonna run out of people to kill by Ramadan 2019. Then WTF are we gonna do to celebrate??

See! You’re already showing your violent side by doing the math and thinking it through.

And need I remind, much math came from the Middle East. So you are going to beat us at that too.

Gawker, through their Kotaku imprint, directly caused GamerGate.

I’m glad others are finally realizing just how sleazy they are. We’ve known for years.

You simply won’t drop the GamerGate crap will you?

No, a bunch of Men’s Rights Activists under the guise of “ethics in gaming journalism” caused GamerGate. You tried defending that group of miscreants several months ago and were repeatedly called out on it when a page was created attempting to equivocate SJWs with neo-Nazis.

Brings up a fair point, if the wingnuts truly believe that we’re at war with all of Islam, then what happened yesterday wasn’t terrorism, it was a legitimate attack on a military target.

Please bear in mind I don’t say I agree with that position, I’m just throwing it out there to put on display just how ridiculous the “War on Islam” argument is.

The same thing can be said about his opposition to NAFTA.

He also opposed the trade deal with South Korea but constantly talks about how we need to find allies in Asia so we can stand-up to China.

I said time and again that I didn’t think we needed more people in the Dem field because it was going to lead to fratricide and the same brewing of negative emotions that injured Obama’s campaign in 2008. And sure enough, it looks like I was right, as the camps are already forming and there’s bad blood brewing about how you can’t be a “true” this or “true” that if you vote for one candidate over another.
