Revising Internet history

For SJWs and their historical antecedents, it is always Year Zero and we have always been at war with Eastasia:

Last month, MIT Technology Review went after the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine – a service that preserves historical versions of webpages and allows users to access archives of these pages when they’re deleted.

MIT Technology Review complained that these archives were allowing coronavirus “misinformation” to evade moderators and fact-checkers and that these archived coronavirus articles had “better performance than most mainstream media news stories.”

Now, just a few weeks later, the Wayback Machine has started to add warning labels to some of its archives, while also forcing users to log in to view some of the archived content on the site.

The warning labels are bright yellow, appear at the top of some archived pages, and tell users when a post was removed for violating a site’s content policy.

Every institution and organization that is not dedicated to rooting out and keeping out the parasites will eventually be converged by them. No rational appeals to functionality, competence, merit, or profit will ever suffice to stop them.

Quantum Mortis on Thursdays

Quantum Mortis fans will be pleased to know that Arkhaven Comics will be publishing weekly episodes on Webtoons. They will also note that we have touched up the illustrations and recolored the entire first issue. Episode 1, Military Assistance, is already live. If you’re an Arkhaven backer, please don’t hesitate to subscribe.

And Arkhaven now has your weekdays covered, with webtoons running every Monday through Friday. We’ll be adding more soon, as Chicago Typewriter, Go, Monster, Go!, and Knights in Shadow are all in production now. With the traditional comics industry reeling, this is what William S. Lind would describe as the obvious schwerpunkt.

Plandemic?

I’m sure the conspiracy mirrorists will explain this away as a repurposed bill, but the facts certainly appears to be damning on their face. From Wikipedia:

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act, is a law meant to address the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. In its original form, it was introduced in the United States Congress as H.R. 748 by Joe Courtney (D-CT) on January 24, 2019 although the bill was amended before it was passed.

It can’t be denied that an awful lot of people in the US government, which is to say the US Deep State, appeared to know about the pandemic before it officially started.

My operating theory is that the Deep State launched the virus as an attack on China and Iran, and China used its influence with the WHO as well as the globalist enthusiasm for immigration and international engagement to ensure that the attack blew back on the USA.

Which, of course, was probably just fine with the Deep State, as they thought they’d be able to blame the negative consequences on President Trump. But, as is his usual wont, he ju-jitsued them with his immediate travel ban.

Why Flynn was targeted

And why the Prometheans are fighting so hard in a last ditch, ex post facto attempt to prevent the DOJ from dropping the charges against him:

In early April, Powell told the Vicki McKenna Show that the disgraced intel leader and others in the intelligence community were targeting Flynn over billions of taxpayer dollars that he knew were not being properly accounted for.

“Powell, who took over Flynn’s defense last summer, told the Vicki McKenna Show on 1310 WIBA Madison on Tuesday that her client was ‘totally set up’ because he threatened to expose wrongdoing by top intelligence officials in the Obama administration,” the Washington Examiner reported Wednesday.

“He was going to audit the intel agencies because he knew about the billions [former Obama era CIA Director John] Brennan and company were running off books,” she said.

It’s happening. It’s all going to come out, and probably before the end of the year. And Americans are not going to be happy to discover that the Obama administration was complicit in the Stasi-like surveillance of every US citizen in and out of the country.

EA’s Game Gestapo

If someone had written this in a novel, you would have dismissed it as being heavy-handed and too over-the-top to be even remotely credible. EA is now using genuine Stasi agents to police gamers:

Electronic Arts’ Berlin office just entered into a troubling partnership, one that has German gamers reeling. The EA office in Berlin recently announced it was partnering with the Amadeu Antonio Foundation and its program “Keine Pixel für Faschisten” [No Pixels for Fascists]. The Orwellian program seeks to monitor political beliefs in the video game industry and among players for “racism, sexism, and anti-semitism.”

The Foundation is headed by Anette Kahane, a former agent of the East German Ministry of Security, also known as the Stasi — the repressive secret police that monitored and brutally suppressed dissent in East Germany after the Second World War. At its height, the Stasi had over 102,000 officers and nearly a quarter of a million of its own citizens spying on family members, neighbours and colleagues for wrongthink.

In a German news profile from 2019, Kahane’s activity in the Stasi was revealed through leaked documents. She was considered an excellent asset, enthusiastic in the performance of her work, and submitted intimate information to the Government on the lives of her friends, family, journalists, and even Chilean immigrants fleeing the fascist Pinochet regime. She also wrote extensive reports detailing people’s private lives, from weddings to teenager’s birthday parties.

In fairness, I suppose it can be hard to come by the necessary five-years experience thought policing required for the average Trust & Safety Council job these days.

It’s astonishing how many people across the political spectrum genuinely prefer secret police and thought crime to the possibility that someone, somewhere, might call them racist or anti-semitic.

My first reaction: WTF is a Podbean? UPDATE: Apparently I have 780,147 Darkstream downloads from Podbean.

My second reaction: it’s a good thing UATV subscribers can listen to and download mp3 files directly from the new UATV site.

I am aware the Darkstreams are still available on Podbean. I plan to remove them, but not yet. We’ll remove them all when we give MP3 access to the Darkstream on UATV to non-subscribers.

The Ride Never Ends.

She turned me into a newt!

Episode 3 of Hypergamouse is now live on Webtoons. Don’t forget to subscribe to it, as that is the primary metric there and it will alert you when a new episode is uploaded. As you can see from the screencap taken this morning on the left, the more subscribers, the more the algorithm favors the comic, and the virtuous cycle continues. What is remarkable about that #4 ranking is that the number of episodes for the other top 5 comics range from 95 to 220. AH is on Episode 5.

Also, if you are a UATV Basic subscriber, please check your email. You have been cordially invited to check out the brand new site! We had a minor issue earlier this morning which prevented video playback, but it’s been resolved, so please login, change your password, and watch/listen to a video or two. Then let me know how the performance worked for you. Please note this is not an invitation to sperg about nonexist features or demonstrate your awesome technical knowledge; the site is still in Alpha and we’re bringing in people gradually to see how well it handles the increasing bandwidth load.

Once we’ve got all the subscribers invited and using it successfully, we’ll move the URL pointers and start transitioning the apps. Iterative design, iterative development.

UPDATE: No Darkstream tonight as I spent the time fixing my streaming software and getting rid of the delay that cropped up recently. Turned out the Nvidea driver needed an update.

Poland takes on GloboPedo

The Prometheans are deeply, deeply concerned that the Polish people are onto them:

The Polish government’s targeted political campaign against the LGBTQ community continues to gain traction, driven by its ultranationalist leading party and galvanized by the institutional church as well as by Polish society, of which a majority identifies as Catholic.

According to the National Catholic Reporter, the Polish government’s Law and Justice majority party seeks to dismantle human rights protections for LGBTQ persons through the ‘Stop Pedophilia’ bill.

This ballot measure initiated by Polish citizens required a minimum of “100,000 signatures for parliamentary consideration,” and received strong support from the Polish Catholic Church. If passed, the bill would criminalize the teaching of sex education in schools and would make homosexuality equal to pedophilia.

It’s long past time to bring back the blasphemy laws, the blue laws, and the Inquisition. If there is one thing that we’ve learned over the last 50 years, it is that there are no “grey areas” and the slippery slope is not a “logical fallacy”, but rather, a reliable predictive model.

You cannot hold onto your Enlightenment and Equality charade and have Western civilization. The two are not merely incompatible, they serve different gods.

Why SJWs will always fail

It’s rather comical to see that Kickstarter’s Comic Outreach Lead was recently let go:

It was revealed last month that crowdfunding service popular amongst comic book creators, Kickstarter, had let 40{105b5945f2a7891a3dd860d3a09046b26c32f8a07d097b566642738deee8841e} of staffers go. They are not alone in this, Patreon also made redundancies, and IndieGoGo had similar last year. However, one of Kickstarter’s 40{105b5945f2a7891a3dd860d3a09046b26c32f8a07d097b566642738deee8841e} was Kickstarter’s Comic Outreach Lead, Camilla Zhang.

Why is this amusing?

Well, precisely how inept, how completely incompetent, does someone responsible for reaching out to comics crowdfunders have to be in order to not reach out to the most successful new comics crowdfunders in the history of comics crowdfunding?

Of course, we all understand why the SJWs at Kickstarter didn’t reach out to Arkhaven. And that is one of the reasons why 40 percent of their staff is now unemployed.
