the national id no one voted for;

 

Login.gov now reports 180 million accounts spanning 700 services and 54 agencies, and the man recently placed in charge of expanding it is Greg Hogan, a former executive at the self-driving-car company comma.ai who had never worked in government before the second day of Donald Trump’s second term. That was when Hogan entered the Office of Personnel Management as its chief information officer, becoming the person responsible for deciding who could access the employment records of nearly every federal worker in the country.

Hogan barely exists online. There are no interviews, panels, or public statements explaining what he believes government technology should do, and nearly every word attributed to him in the press came from internal emails obtained by reporters. His first major contribution to the federal government, however, was difficult to miss, because he helped build the system Elon Musk used to email approximately two million public employees and demand a list of five things they had accomplished that week, with Musk threatening that failure to respond would be treated as a resignation..........more...........

 chris rock is certainly a sharp individual who can decipher small clues as well as large; 

 

Chris Rock compared “wokeness” to the Salem witch trials in a New York Times interview published Saturday, calling the line “half a joke” and arguing that once the hunt became an institution, it had to start making accusations up.

Rock, 61, spoke with David Marchese on The Interview, the Times podcast, about his upcoming film Misty Green and the theme of forgiveness.

The comedian described a friend who had been “canceled,” and said another friend asked how he could still associate with that person.

“If you’re only friends with your friends when they’re good, they’re not your friends,” Rock said. He added that the point was not to condone abusive behavior.

From there, the interview turned to a discussion about the culture of the last several years.

“The problem with ‘wokeness’ — and don’t get me wrong, it is great that marginalized people have a voice; it is great to advocate for anybody that feels marginalized — but the problem is we’re in the Old Testament right now,” he said. “The Old Testament has no forgiveness. The Old Testament didn’t work, so they had to write a remix called the New Testament.”

Marchese noted that some people now call the immediate post-George Floyd period, sometimes labeled “Woke 1.0,” crazy............more..........

 larry johnson has some info about our coming fuel problems; 

 

Once again Karl W. Miller has put numbers to a problem that most of the commentariat still treats as a temporary price spike. His latest forward outlook, “The Five-Year Global Energy Crisis,” dated October 3, makes an argument that should alarm every finance ministry from Berlin to Jakarta. The war’s damage to Gulf energy infrastructure is not a disruption that ends when the shooting stops. It is a reconstruction problem measured in years and trillions of dollars, and while it is solved, the world will be short of the fuels that run its economy.

 A ceasefire is not a repair crew

Miller’s central insight is simple. A ceasefire can reopen a shipping lane overnight. It cannot manufacture a compressor, mobilize commissioning engineers, or pay a contractor. The next phase of this crisis, he writes, is a competition for cash, equipment, qualified contractors and finished fuel.

His cost model is sobering. In his aggressive case, rebuilding the damaged Gulf energy system requires $1.16 trillion in total program funding. Under prolonged stress, with scarce equipment, rising prices and delays, the bill reaches $2.53 trillion. Even his faster case runs to nearly half a trillion dollars. He is careful to say these are model outputs, not contractor quotes, and that the true extent of the damage is the largest unknown. An April assessment put energy-related repair costs at only $34-58 billion. But the direction of his argument doesn’t depend on the exact figure. Every month of delay makes the same repair more expensive, because the global market for specialized equipment and crews is already stretched by LNG expansions, refinery maintenance and power projects elsewhere...........more.........

 

 caitlin says zionism is obviously a racist problem;

 

On Sunday the UK Greens adopted a motion asserting that Zionism is a form of racism, defining the ideology as “an ethnonationalist political project.” 

Green Party leader Zack Polanski, who is Jewish, was immediately banned by the Israeli government from entering the nation after the motion was passed.

As you might expect, Israel apologists are presently churning out hasbara trying to spin the new Green Party policy as an evil attack on Jews and arguing that Zionism is actually a perfectly lovely and normal thing that we should all support.

“Zionism is just the belief that Jews deserve a homeland and self-determination,” they’ll claim, often adding a suggestion that the real racists are those who would oppose such a reasonable position.............more........

 this guy would give any nazi a run for his money, being the most heinous;

 

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir claimed that all three administrative areas of the occupied West Bank “belong to Israel,” contradicting arrangements established under the Oslo Accords between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization.

Under the 1995 Oslo II Accord, the West Bank was divided into Areas A, B and C. Area A is under full Palestinian control, Area B is under Palestinian civilian and Israeli security control. Area C, which accounts for around 60% of the territory, is under full Israeli control.

“There is no difference between Areas A, B and C. The entire land is ours. This is our country,” Ben-Gvir told Israel’s right-wing Channel 14 on Thursday.

Ben-Gvir also threatened to dismantle the Palestinian Authority, and push for the displacement of Palestinians from West Bank and the Gaza Strip if he becomes the defense minister.

He claimed that 60% of Palestinians want to “emigrate,” despite reports to the contrary. “I will dedicate time to this, and I will manage the process continuously. Every week, I will hold a discussion involving all relevant parties,” he said.

Asked how Israel could provide additional forces for West Bank and Gaza, Ben-Gvir said: “It is very simple: The more you allow soldiers to shoot and use force, the less manpower you need.”.........more............
