WASHINGTON, March 19, 2025 – After the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) initiated a Title IX compliance review regarding federal funding, the University of Maine System (UMaine) has clearly communicated its compliance with Title IX’s requirement to protect equal opportunities for women and girls to compete in safe and fair sports, as articulated in President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order. Any false claim by the UMaine can, and will, result in onerous and even potentially criminal financial liability.
UMaine’s decision to side with sanity is a win for women and girls in Maine.
USDA provides substantial federal funding to recipients in Maine, including the University of Maine System and its components. Last month, USDA initiated an investigation regarding UMaine policies to assess compliance with Title IX and the President’s Executive Order after concerns arose regarding Maine’s compliance. By February 26, 2025, UMaine responded to USDA’s questions by representing to the government that UMaine does not permit males to participate in women’s sports, and that UMaine does not have males participating in women’s sports. Specifically, UMaine confirmed that they:
Do not permit a male student-athlete to identify as a female student-athlete to establish individual eligibility for NCAA-sanctioned women’s sports.
Do not permit a male to participate in individual or team contact sports with females.
Comply with NCAA regulations and do not permit a male student athlete to participate in NCAA-sanctioned women’s sports.
When Vice-President JD Vance delivers prepared remarks about Artificial Intelligence, pay attention.
JD Vance is the 2028 presidential candidate of choice for the Technocrats; the current goal is to envelop the MAGA populist movement for the intents and purposes of the collective network of Technocrats.
This motive and intent baseline will not change as Vance positions to replace President Donald Trump.
During a speech to the American Dynamism Summit, JD Vance outlines his optimism for the future of the U.S. economy, as boosted by the technological advances in artificial intelligence.
Within his remarks, Vance correctly notes some voices are saying there is going to be a major fracture between the “Techno-optimists” and the “populists.” However, Vance defines that chasm, and then refutes that fear/concern around jobs, advanced AI, automation, innovation and the economy. He misses what will be the root cause of the fracture completely.
Vice-President Vance notes there is nothing to fear from innovation, artificial intelligence, robotics and advanced industrial application of emerging technology. Indeed, all facets of economic growth through the use of all the aforementioned enterprises are correctly framed by the vice president.
There is nothing to fear on the economic front from the technological advancements currently underway.
Let me repeat, before I get misinterpreted….
Everything JD Vance says about the economic future of the United States, against the backdrop of innovation and AI is accurate. JD Vance is 100% correct. However, that’s not the predictable root cause of the upcoming fracture between the Techno-Optimists (his term) and the MAGA populists.
The fracture is going to come as an outcome of how AI networks with government and then destroys privacy, liberty and ultimately freedom for Americans.
It is not the economic side of the AI system Vance supports on behalf of his benefactors that is problematic; it’s the creation of a compliant surveillance state that flows as a natural outcome of advanced and automated AI systems within a highly weaponized government. That’s the problem. That where the fracture will occur.
Techno-optimists are not paying any attention to how their beloved AI networking can be weaponized in a surveillance state. When you combine fully automated AI data processing with ‘Real ID’, facial recognition software, digital identities created for each American and the motives of govt, you can easily predict what comes next.
The U.S. surveillance system can then be fine-tuned (depending on who is in charge of it) to use the real-time digital and physical identity to control access to systems. Write a Facebook post critical of government, get blocked from your bank account. Do something defined by government as against their interests, lose your access to travel etc.
The problem for Americans is how advanced AI will be deployed under the guise of efficiency to create a comprehensive DHS surveillance state.
The predictable system will automate, connecting every aspect of our lives to our compliance in living that life in the manner approved by those who control the system.
Privacy, freedom and liberty, core fundamental principles of our American system, are replaced with surveillance and defined citizen compliance. These are the pesky issues JD Vance and his Techno-Optimists (Thiel, Sacks, Musk, Ellison, et al) do not want to consider when they think about those pesky ‘proles’ they call “populists.”
Vice-President JD Vance has been constructed as the palatable messenger to calm the fears of MAGA. To calm those AI fears, Vance focuses attention to the well-discussed AI issues around jobs, labor and employment as outlined in his speech.
Listen carefully. However, the issue is not economics, it’s about privacy and liberty.
Reposted in full with permission from Sundance. I definitely see the problem but do not see any way out of it, save we the people having enough free speech to communicate our shared dissatisfaction and thus influence the powers that be. We the plebs have already allowed our civilization to be inundated with incompatible mass immigration, and we have even paid for it. Who is to blame? Not AI.
The Buddhist tradition has long been a ‘render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s’ one. I am black-pilled on our technological future when viewed in terms of the past and assessed with values formed in the past.
My white-pilled, optimistic side envisions digital babies with super-high IQs; AI so good and so well networked, everyone is wealthy and no one needs to be greedy. If everyone is super smart, healthy, and has all they need, the ancient human values of violence, dominance and might makes right, may wither away. All of us are capable of murder but very few ever do it. Several generations of digital babies will produce the finest human beings possible. In their hands AI surveillance will also have the capacity to prevent fraud, group parasitism, evil cabals. Bad as it looks today, I see lots of room for optimism and no matter what, Buddhist practice works in all worlds. ABN
I don’t mind being called a conspiracy theorist. The killing of JFK was a conspiracy, and 9/11 was a conspiracy, and I wrote theories on both, so I’m a conspiracy theorist. I don’t reject any conspiracy theory on principle. Even looking into those which are obvious nonsense can teach you something about the extent of human gullibility or about the techniques of cognitive infiltration. So in 2023 I looked into the theory that Brigitte Macron was born a man. I concluded it had a very low probability, and I told Xavier Poussard and anybody who asked for my opinion. But I didn’t want to spend any more time on it.
However, I now feel some kind of responsibility to read and review Xavier Poussard’s book, Becoming Brigitte, published last month with the endorsement of Candace Owens. So I bought the original French version, read it in a day, and posted my first impression on March 12, in an ironic tweet saying: “After 292 pages, the ultimate proof. Come on, believe!”
This is a credible debunking of the theory that Brigitte Macron is a transgender man. I read the whole thing as I highly respect and enjoy Guyénot’s work. Then I read the comments under his article and became less sure again. At best, the Brigitte story is an interesting aside in our world; worth some investment if you like but not terribly important. Whether it is true or false, I will probably continue posting interesting pieces on it when I run across them. Owens is funnier on this topic than Guyénot, for whatever that’s worth. ABN
This article explores the hypothesis that modern East Asian populations inherited and maintained extensive psychosocial adaptations to arctic environments from ancestral Ancient Northern East Asian populations, which inhabited arctic and subarctic Northeast Eurasia around the Last Glacial Maximum period of the Late Pleistocene, prior to back migrating southwards into East Asia in the Holocene. I present the first cross-psychology comparison between modern East Asian and Inuit populations, using the latter as a model for paleolithic Arctic populations. The comparison reveals that both East Asians and the Inuit exhibit notably high emotional control/suppression, ingroup harmony/cohesion and subdomain unassertiveness, indirectness, self and social consciousness, reserve/introversion, cautiousness, and perseverance/endurance. The same traits have been identified by decades of research in polar psychology (i.e., psychological research on workers, expeditioners, and military personnel living and working in the Arctic and Antarctic) as being adaptive for, or byproducts of, life in polar environments. I interpret this as indirect evidence supporting my hypothesis that the proposed Arcticist traits in modern East Asian and Inuit populations primarily represent adaptations to arctic climates, specifically for the adaptive challenges of highly interdependent survival in an extremely dangerous, unpredictable, and isolated environment, with frequent prolonged close-quarters group confinement, and exacerbated consequences for social devaluation/exclusion/expulsion. The article concludes with a reexamination of previous theories on the roots of East Asian psychology, mainly that of rice farming and Confucianism, in the light of my Arcticism theory.
These policies obviously are acts of war against the UK and most of Europe. Western governments are doing it. The question is why. Just as Western societies are being infiltrated by people who often hate the West, so it must be that Western governments have been infiltrated by people who hate the West even more; who have planned this invasion and support it today with censorship and arrests for merely talking about it. In USA, this problem is at its worst with Jewish Supremacism. To even mention it is to be excoriated by unreasoning loudmouths or lectured by compromised politicians who surely know better. Politics is fundamentally a set of social relationships, and is policed by the same social relationships. To we the plebs, it is obvious how skewed our leadership is. They are actually destroying the West. But they are trapped in their social world. It’s possible we will see real change, but not likely and the demographics will drown us soon anyway. ABN
I know for a fact that many Chinese fantasize a nuclear war between Russia and USA that wipes out both countries as well as Europe, leaving control of the world to China. Why would Zelensky want this? Gabbard is all but saying what I have been saying — Zelensky is a Jewish Supremist and his tribe wants this for the same reason many Chinese do. The difference between their objectives may be only that Chinese fantasizers want USA, Europe and Russia obliterated while Jewish Supremists only want them very badly hurt. The Chinese fantasizers want everything for themselves, while Jewish Supremists want a weak host remaining, which they can continue to parasitize. ABN
The right term is Jewish Supremacism. An honest, moral Jew or Israeli is not included in the danger of Jewish Supremacy. What are the ratios of one to the other? That is a separate question. The ratio is probably high enough that all Jews in power or who seek power should be morally required to disavow Jewish Supremacy in any form. Not sure how this affects the Jewish religion today, which is based on the ‘chosenness’ of ancient Israelites. But this should be discussed and openly addressed by all Jews in the world today insofar as their public actions may be affected by their reasoning on this. With savage irony, it does appear that genetically, modern Palestinians are the world’s closest descendants of ancient Israelites. ABM
Marriages in China plunged 20% to a record low in 2024 as young people resisted government efforts to convince them to settle down and have more babies.
Marriages in China dropped from 7.7m in 2023 to 6.1m last year, data from China’s civil affairs ministry showed. The figure was less than half the number registered in 2013, and the lowest since record keeping began in 1986.
The data also showed that 2.6 million couples filed for divorce in 2024, up 1.1% from the previous year.
Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin is being ridiculed for calling Donald Trump‘s cabinet nominations ‘1,000 shades of white’.
Rubin, 62, a former conservative commentator at the Jeff Bezos-owned paper, now largely advocates for Democrats and on her podcast, ‘Jen Rubin’s Green Room.’
Speaking on MSNBC Rubin did not hold back as she ripped Trump’s nominations over the color of their skin.
‘Many of these people including Tulsi Gabbard have backgrounds that would never make them eligible for any government post, let alone for secretaries of these important government agencies,’ Rubin began.
‘But I do think there are a couple of things going on. First, I have to comment, when you put up all of those faces it was a thousand shades of white. Have you noticed that?’
Rubin, of course, is Jewish and slings this kind of slop regularly. Did she notice how many incompetent, even treasonous, Jews were in the Biden administration? It’s normal Jewish behavior, even fashionable for many, to shout at whites and insult them like this as much as the please. ABN
