Google News Hits Bottom, Digs

Thu, Aug 25, 2005 at 7:21:02 pm PDT

This is what happens when you have an automated news headline generator that draws on a database of news sources hand-selected by left wing lunatics; a headline currently featured at Google News:

The Google News system is broken. In a very big way. The Wahhabi schemers who run sites like ArabNews are well aware of this, and are exploiting it relentlessly to spread their propaganda.

Those pesky Israelis. They just sneak into a refugee camp, and for no reason whatsoever, just go blasting away at innocent and unarmed Palestinian youngsters. My, my, my. What could have gotten into them?

The absolute BEST part of Google News was seeing them use Al-Jazeera as a source, I think about the same story. And it was in the same major headline position as this one.

I'm sure the "unarmed" teenagers just happened to be in close proximity to the gunmen. After all, when I was that age, I used to hang around gunmen, too.

Poor Palestinians, they had no idea how murderous those Israelis can be. They might have to take up weapons now, in order to protect themselves from this outrage.

At 9 PM EDT the eye of Hurricane Katrina was directly over the National Hurricane Center.

It has since moved about 15 km just South of West.


Because it is close to the ocean, and over swamps, weakening will be very slow, and Katrina may still be a hurricane when it reaches the Gulf in the morning.

Second landfall Monday as a strong Cat 3 likely near Destin.

Meanwhile, on PBS, they just ran a segment of "Secrets of the Dead" that purported to be a revolutionary theory of why Rome burned in A.D. 64: It wasn't Nero, it was those violent, seething, insurgent, terrorist Christians! (yup, they used the T-word).

Discounting Tacitus, who was THERE, and the general understanding of the Romans that the Christians who were crucified and killed in the arena afterwards were scapegoats, they put forward a German historian who said there was all sorts of apocalyptic literature floating around the slums of Rome and some Christians must have thought it would be a good idea to act on it.

They then read from Revelation, written decades later, as an example of the "type" of stuff that this guy claimed was circulating.

And ended the smear job by showing this German saying "the Christians weren't innocent victims; they were killed because of what they WERE: terrorists."

IOW, he's not saying some random radicals did this (the excuse they always give the damn moslems), but the NATURE of Christianity itself. I am livid.

Accepting that the headline is completely offensive - what really gets my knickers twisted is when they use "refugee camps" when describing town/cities in Gaza or the West Bank.

Honestly, I've never seen better-fed or better-clothed "refugees" in all my days.

Too bad we can't find a way to have the world's real refugees live in the same "horrible" conditions the Palis consider themselves in.

I just thought of something. Click on the "all 247 related" or whatever number in in there at the end of a story's feed. I notice that when I click on "all xrelated", there are a ton of stories with the exact same headline and body of story (probably the news wire stuff to the smaller papers). Maybe google news picks the more unique (read=shows up once or twice with the exact title and body compared to hundreds of times with the others) stories, and thus we get the crazy hoo-ha that you see above. I see it as a good service to a lizard like me. I get to read the most whacked-out version of a story on google, then get to surf the blogs for a better perspective. Really, IMHO this goes to show that nowadays, to find out the real story about something, you have to do your homework.

Technical question though, how many servers would it take to house a proper search engine?

It's not just the number of servers (and when the Google guys were pre-Google at Stanford, IIRC they filled a large room with servers), it's the network bandwidth to be able to handle the number of requests that are coming in, plus the crawler traffic. Before they even formed the company, just in their research phase, they were responsible for most of the traffic on Stanford's network, which I assume was fairly well endowed. I can only imagine the size of the pipes going into Google HQ nowadays...

The Western Galilee Experience: Reducing Infant Mortality in the Arab Population
Avshalom Strulov, MD, MPH

Abstract:
Until the end of the 1980s almost no intensive intervention plan was applied to narrow the vast gap (over 100%) in infant mortality between Jews and Arabs in the Western Galilee region of Israel. A special committee appointed by the Ministry of Health instituted measures to reduce the gap, including monitoring mortality rates by establishing an online and real-time computerized information system to analyze the information without delay. Based on the epidemiologic findings, an intervention program was implemented, using health education to reduce mortality due to seasonal infections – gastroenteritis in summer and upper respiratory and hyperthermia in winter. Within 1 year these infections had abated, resulting in significantly reduced mortality. The next step was the development of an ultrasound preventive campaign using sophisticated sonography to screen pregnant women in risk groups for lethal congenital defects and convincing them to discontinue the pregnancy. These two measures reduced infant mortality dramatically. The campaign has been widened to the entire northern district and is presently addressing, as a primary prevention, the traditionally difficult problem of consanguineous marriages – the major cause of congenital defects in the Arab population.

That "German historian" was Gerhard Baudy by chance? He indeed wrote stuff like this in his "Die Brände Roms: Ein apokalyptisches Motiv in der antiken Historiographie" (1991).

He argued that the Christians set the fire in order to fulfill an Egyptian prophecy that stated that the day Sirius first rises would mark the fall of the great evil city. By setting fire to Rome on this day, the Christians would have suggested that Rome was both evil, and falling.

This is a theory that was backed by the Italian scholar Massimo Fini, who wanted to "debunk" the bad image of Nero in history which Sueton was responsible for.

Baudy's accusations are not very credible though because they are almost entirely drawn from circumstantial and
fragmentary evidence. The Sirius theory is very weak and while early Christianism certainly had apokalyptic notes, they weren't that dominant to warrant actions like this. It is interesting that later Christian writers don't even mention the burning of Rome in prophecies of the final conflagration.

OK, if you want an easier language: It's mostly unproven bullshit.

Three of 5 Palestinians killed in Tulkarm by undercover Israel troops Thursday were members of the Jihad Islami and Fatah-Tanzim operatives controlled and financed by the Lebanese Hizballah.

August 25, 2005, 8:38 AM (GMT+02:00)

All were armed and opened fire to resist arrest.

They died in an exchange of fire in a café at the town center. Three were wanted for their role in terrorist attacks in Tel Aviv and Netanya earlier this year and known to be plotting further strikes in Israel

To some extent, Stewart gets the better of everyone, because he gets to be funny. You can make the most stunning of points, but if the response gets people laughing, the funny guy still wins.

That said, Hitchens held his own, and the Rumsfeld paraphrase went over big. His point was: Like Bush or not, he's doing the right thing here.

That's good to hear. Thanks for the added details and interpretation. Plus, Stewart definitely has the home-field advantage with his fawning fans.

I rarely watch Stewart any more since he's become a partisan hack, but I happened to be channel surfing and caught a glimpse of Hitchens and stopped to watch.

all you people who mean well trying to explain what Israel does -- Remember! the world does not need a reason to hate Jews and nothing said in Jews' or Israel's defense will change the world's mind; this is why the only rational position for Israel to adopt must be maximalist; no concessions, no giving up territory; we will never get the world to like us by being nice; the world (or what's left of it) will eventually come around to the maximalist view; we must always strive towards and look forward to victory

Speaking of media, ABC affiliate KGO-TV in San Francisco (yes!) has run a most enlightening story on the financing of Cindy Sheehan's PR machine. This mentions the involvement of Ben (and Jerry's) Cohen, MoveOn.org, Code Pink, and Howard Dean's Democracy for America.

It gets a little weird after that:
A KGO-TV cameraman was assaulted by a Sheehan supporter in Crawford today.

Another odd coincidence: Jeff Key, the "Marine", peace activist, and gay film star who attacked the videographer, is the same person who appears with Sheehan at the SF airport in the photo on the same page as the KGO financing story.
WTF?

I have a Gmail account but I've never used it.

Just finished watching al-Nightline, about Cyrus Kar, the documentary filmmaker who was held by the Army in Iraq for two months. His taxi driver had a bunch of washing machine timers in the trunk of his car, which was why they, along with Cyrus's Iranian cameraman was arrested.

Kar was in Iraq (the "Babylon" part) filming a documentary about Cyrus the Great. Lots of bureaucratic inertia by the Army in Kar's case. Kinda sad, because even though Kar voted for sKerry (for domestic policy reasons), he supports the Bush administration and the decision to go into Iraq. He used the term "the liberation of Iraq", and said it was a great thing to save the Iraqi people from Saddam and his two sons.

Coincidentally, only yesterday I changed my homepage from google news to Charles' LGF News page.

Can't really pin this particular incident on google, though. I do like having access to Arab News. It's important that we English speakers have access to the lies those buzzards are reporting, and it seems to be a semi-legit source. (Of course, that's a relative term when referring to Arab news sources. It's about as unbiased as Pravda, which I also occasionally read.) This is more an indictment of Arab news reporting than it is google.

But google news sure isn't selective, are they? They've got a lot of DU-type, opinion sites that don't even bother to source or reference any of their so-called "news."

From the first link:

Cindy Sheehan kneels before a cross with her son's name on it, touches his picture, wipes her tears. It's an outpouring of emotion that is part of a scheduled news event organized daily for the television radio and print reporters who crowd in to capture a mother's grief.

How refreshingly factual!

Israelis terminate 5 genocide murderers

An IDF unit in the Tul Karem refugee camp last night killed five Palestinian terrorists, including an Islamic Jihad leader.

The five dead terrorists belonged to the Islamic Jihad chapter in Tul Karem, in which one of them was a leading figure.

The Israeli force was patrolling the area when the terror cell attacked them with gunfire and an explosive device. The soldiers returned fire, killing the five.

The Islamic Jihad chapter in question was responsible for many attacks against Israelis, most notably the murder at the Stage club in Tel Aviv. Five Jews were killed in that attack. As expected, Islamic Jihad threatens to retaliate sharply for last night's battle.

Arab sources report that an Israeli undercover unit entered the refugee camp in a car with a PA license plate, and then besieged the house of one of the terrorists.

Arafat's Heir Comes to Gaza

By Steven Stalinsky

He confers often with terrorist groups and regimes and called the attacks of September 11, 2001, "a lesson to the U.S." saying it "was the first time that Arabic names entered every American household."


[Link: www.JewishWorldReview.com...] | As this column reported last week, the Tunis-based head of the Palestine Liberation Organization, Farouk Qaddumi, whose official position on Israel is that it should be destroyed, will move into Gaza this summer. He is a possible successor and key rival to the Palestinian Authority's current leader, Mahmoud Abbas. Mr. Qaddumi will be bringing with him a "volunteer popular army" of at least 1,500, according to Saudi press reports from August 3.
Mr. Qaddumi was also the Palestinian-Arab link between the U.N. oil-for-food program and Saddam Hussein's regime. The Iraqi News Agency reported on August 16, 2002, that Mr. Qaddumi visited Iraq and met with the chairman of the Iraqi Revolutionary Leadership, 'Izat Ibrahim, who was immortalized as the eight of diamonds on the U.S. military's Terror Card Series of Wanted Iraqis. While there, Mr. Qaddumi said: "The battle of Iraq and [the battle of] Palestine are one battle against their historic enemies. The martyrs in Iraq and in Palestine are martyrs of the first rank, as they fight, with their pure, noble souls, against the ones who conquered their land, their honor, for their survival, their history, and their civilization ... against the most arrogant force of evil, oppression, and aggression on the face of the earth."

In talks between Mr. Qaddumi and Saddam in Iraq on January 18, 2001, the Iraqi dictator promised "Iraq is ready to bombard Israel for six continuous months of artillery from land and sea."


Mr. Qaddumi has made multiple, on-the-record threats to America, calling for terrorist acts against American interests. He called the attacks of September 11, 2001, "a lesson to the U.S." saying it "was the first time that Arabic names entered every American household." Mr. Qaddumi has visited America, but it was reported on August 23, 2003, that he was denied permission to speak at the United Nations.


The PLO charter calling for the destruction of Israel was reportedly amended in 1996, but on an appearance on ANB TV on April 25, 2005, Mr. Qaddumi said that he "does not accept any amendment." Furthermore, in an interview with an Israeli-Arab weekly on January 3, 2003, he openly stated that there is no difference between Hamas and the PLO vis-a-vis calling for the destruction of Israel. He said, "strategically we are no different from it."


One of Mr. Qaddumi's most popular phrases this past year has been, "There are 300 million Arabs, while Israel only has the sea behind it." He has added, "Time is on our side." As he said at a conference of foreign ministers of Islamic states held in Qatar on December 12, 2001, "The countdown [to the end] of Israel will begin ... and will find its end as the USSR and Yugoslavia did."

That is about as bad as I have ever seen it. Where I previously believed the Google crowd to be ill-informed leftist, I can now assume we are dealing with real deal Jew-haters.

Mental note to Cris: Beware KuKluxGoogle, two extra mags for the Glock 27 one with the 15 round extention.

Do the KuKluxGoogles wear white hoods? Or do they go covert?

I've notice more and more "documentaries" with "revolutionary theories" (made-up shit), from the "there was no fall of Toledo/let's not talk about Arab slavery" group to the "Egypt-worship the pyramids were built by union labor instead of slaves" group.

Oddly enough, no matter what the fantasy, it seems to be anti-Jew, anti-Christian, or anti-Western Civ. Never the other way.

I wonder if it's a COINCIDENCE!?!?!?!?

Of course, the science documentaries tend to just have bad science or just plain stupid, though sometimes they are overtly racially or politically biased as well.

Kind of sickening when you think how much of this is aimed at kids.

Technical question though, how many servers would it take to house a proper search engine? I was always curious as to how much hardware it would take to put together something like that.

My understanding (though I could be wrong) is the Google hung its shingle with a SIGNIFICANT number of servers under its roof -- and a good number of high-level techies to run them, too.
