AI ‘hate speech’ breakdown

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

click image for larger

Firstly, ‘hate speech’ is not illegal in USA and neither is hate. Let’s hope they never will be. Today, however, ‘hate speech’ is effectively illegal or close to illegal because ordinary people as well as AI will flag or punish you for it. Secondly, what does the graph above even mean? Does it mean that AI is more sensitive to ‘hate speech’ at the top of the graph or that ‘hate speech’ is more often directed against groups at the top? I do not recall anyone hating on disabled people, so probably the algorithm is dialed to be more sensitive for groups at the top. The AI could also use a wide variety of ways to determine what gets flagged. The graph was Xed by Elon Musk along with his statement that we should be concerned with how AI is programmed. X is still using ‘freedom of speech but not reach’, which Musk must know is total bs. The algorithm at X is horrible. You lose ‘reach’ if you follow accounts with low numbers of followers, or ‘like’ one of their Xweets, or repost it. This forces everyone into narrow silos that favor cunning over content. The excuse is always advertisers and money, which means we are controlled by the products sold in shopping malls and the hatred of whomever controls the AI. Reddit has a better format than X. Maybe Musk will consider buying Reddit and fixing it’s algorithm which would allow X-like censorship to be tailored to precise subreddits and thus not ruin the entire site. ABN

Study Finds That Just 3.4% of American Journalists Are Republicans

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

A new study from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Public Communications found that just 3.4% of American journalists are Republicans.

The study is based “on an online survey with 1,600 U.S. journalists conducted in early 2022” and is the latest in a series of studies stretching back to 1971 that take the temperature of the fourth estate’s partisan lean, job satisfaction, and professional attitudes.

When the first iteration of the study came out over 50 years ago, 35.5% of respondents said they were Democrats, 25.7% said they were Republicans, and 32.5% said they were Independents. The percentage that call themselves Democrats or independents have bounced around over the years, with the proportion of Democrats reaching a high of 44.1% in 1992…

This is a product of deliberate mind-control, decades in the making. Both press and government oppose most Americans, often even hate them. ABN

AI ‘news’ using fake actors but ‘real news’

Well worth viewing. All announcers are AI generated. This may look scary but it will probably render MSM even less believable. The better the AI in any venue, the more people will mistrust it overall. Or so it seems to me today. ABN

James O’Keefe report on Chinese funded biolabs in USA

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

I like O’Keefe and support most of his work. This episode, however, is very repetitive with no real content save the ambiguous threat of China doing something with a biolab in California and maybe in some other places. I do believe the issue is worth following up on but James is cheapening his brand with this 26 min video which is petty and even kind of cruel to Sepulveda who reveals little to his undercover ‘date’ who completely fools him. Not worth doing that for so little then exposing it to the world. There is an overarching ethics that if you are going to play with someone’s heart on three dates that he should at least provide some real goods before embarrassing him in public and he should at least be a little bit sleazy himself, which Sepulveda does not appear to be.

Photographers Without Borders: AP & Reuters Pictures of Hamas Atrocities Raise Ethical Questions

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

On October 7, Hamas terrorists were not the only ones who documented the war crimes they had committed during their deadly rampage across southern Israel. Some of their atrocities were captured by Gaza-based photojournalists working for the Associated Press and Reuters news agencies whose early morning presence at the breached border area raises serious ethical questions.

This article has photos and more information, but spins the story solely into questioning why news organizations published work like this. This is a legitimate question but the presence of photo journalists and their work appearing that day in international publications also strongly suggests psyop-style preplanning. When coupled with the apparent preplanning of the border not being properly guarded while at the same time IDF troops had been removed far from it as the music festival had been moved closer to it… one has to wonder what top Israeli officials knew and when did they know it? For MSM and assorted politicians to not ask that question only further underscores the suspicion that the raid was MIHOP (Made It Happen On Purpose) intended to unleash the dogs of war on Gaza and the Middle East, as we are seeing today.

Pro-Israel Propaganda: Lies vs Reality — Ron Unz

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Another week has now passed since the Middle East and the entire world were suddenly upended by the huge raid into Israel by the Hamas militants of Gaza. But the new developments over the last seven days have merely continued and confirmed the situation I’d already described last Monday.

According to all news sources, some 1,400 Israeli soldiers and civilians died in the attack, most of them within the first 24 hours, probably making it the deadliest day in Israel’s entire history, amounting to more fatalities than the total for all of Israel’s wars during nearly the last fifty years combined.

Back in 2011, the Israeli government had freed over 1,000 imprisoned Palestinians in exchange for a single captured soldier. So a key goal of this Hamas attack had been gaining the freedom of the many thousands of captive Palestinians by seizing some Israelis as bargaining chips, and the effort succeeded beyond all expectations, with more than 200 Israeli soldiers and civilians taken back to Gaza as prisoners.

Israel had invested hundreds of millions of dollars in advanced technology to guard its Gaza border, but Hamas disabled those systems using inexpensive small drones and highly innovative tactics, thereby inflicting a hugely humiliating defeat upon the Jewish State.

Mossad was widely regarded as one of the world’s best intelligence services and the Israeli military had the same reputation for its prowess in combat. But despite a year of careful planning and preparation, Hamas seems to have achieved total tactical surprise while the local Israeli garrison bases were easily overrun, with none of their sentries on duty and alert. As a result, the IDF suffered up to 600 dead in a matter of hours at the hands of lightly-armed militants, probably the worst one-day combat losses in any of Israel’s many wars. Hundreds of thousands of Israeli civilians have now been evacuated both from the area around Gaza and from the northern parts of the country threatened by Lebanon’s Hezbollah, and given the scale of the recent disaster, it’s unclear how soon most of them would be willing to return to their former homes.

British Parliament Demands Rumble Video Platform Remove or Demonetize Russell Brand – Rumble Says NO!

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

This is quite a remarkable development.  The Sunday Times, a Rupert Murdoch publication in the U.K, published a hit piece against Russell Brand accusing him of rape and sexual assault 20-years ago.  It did not take long before the accusations triggered the cancel culture and YouTube demonetized the actor and pundit.  Russell Brand has vehemently denied the allegations.

However, in a remarkable escalation the U.K Parliament is now targeting Russell Brand.  The British government has sent a letter to U.S. video platform provider Rumble demanding they take action against Brand.  Not only is the British government targeting an individual and demanding action over an unproven allegation, but they are also sending a letter to the U.S. company demanding acquiescence to their censorship demand.

Rumble has previously stood strong against the demands of the French government, and once again stands at the forefront of freedom in responding to the UK demand.

Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski responded to the U.K govt and shared his response on Twitter.  “We emphatically reject the UK Parliament’s demands.”

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas Appoints Primary Trump-Russia Conspiracy Agents as “Expert Group” to Identify Domestic Terrorism and Disinformation

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

If you put the individual names within this group in the search bar, you will discover their connection.  Most of them were the primary background operatives who pushed the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy in ’16, ’17, ’18 and ’19.

With names like James Clapper (DNI), John Brennan (CIA), Tashina Gauhar (DOJ-NSD), David Kris (DOJ-NSD, FISA), Paul Kolbe (CIA) and Benjamin Wittes (Lawfare), what you will find is that this specific group are functionaries of the corrupt intelligence apparatus that framed the Trump-Russia collusion nonsense.  This is the team now that will define for DHS how to focus their future targeting efforts.

WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas, Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) Ken Wainstein, and Counterterrorism Coordinator Nicholas Rasmussen announced the establishment of the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group (Experts Group). The group is comprised of private sector experts who will provide their unique perspectives on the federal government’s intelligence enterprise to DHS’s I&A and the Office of the Counterterrorism Coordinator.

“The security of the American people depends on our capacity to collect, generate, and disseminate actionable intelligence to our federal, state, local, territorial, tribal, campus, and private sector partners,” said Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas. “I express my deep gratitude to these distinguished individuals for dedicating their exceptional expertise, experience, and vision to our critical mission.”

“The Homeland Intelligence Experts Group is being formed at a time of unprecedented challenge, with the U.S. intelligence enterprise facing threats from a range of malign actors, to include foreign nation-state adversaries, domestic violent extremists, cyber criminals, drug-trafficking cartels and other transnational criminal organizations,” said Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis Ken Wainstein. “The Experts Group will be an invaluable asset as we navigate through this evolving threat and operating environment and continue to strengthen our efforts to protect the Homeland.”

Dr Berg Gets Censored (Silenced)

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Mind-control. ABN

UPDATE: This is one incident in a very big push to completely takeover and stifle the internet. And this effort will reach into the DNS. If you do a search on Google, you will find many results but they will all be slanted if the topic is political or contentious. Go through a few pages and you will see mainly the same slant and before long, nothing. So a great deal of censorship and disappearing sites and points of view has already happened. People that want to censor and control information never have good motives. These powerful moves to control all information and thought are totalitarian in the extreme. Even if they had good motives (they do not), the next group in total control will not. Information is power. If they seize this power, they will never give it back. We can only fight back by being aware and not complying whenever possible. It’s pathetic but our best group response is Bud Light. This is pathetic because our civilization(s) are not advancing human knowledge and goodness or health and happiness. We are going backward because a bunch of rich twits want it that way. ABN

ADL censorship exposed

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The basis of American civilization is free speech. No free speech = no American civilization. People who don’t want free speech or want to limit its natural reach (which amounts to the same thing) always have ulterior motives, bad motives, lust for power. Maybe a few are simply deluded, but the big money and big players behind limiting free speech always have anti-American motives. The ADL was founded on its defamation of Mary Phagan. Today, it defames all of us who want to live in an America that revels in free and open conversations, not censored by anyone. ABN
