The real enemies of the people

Exclusive: Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson laments how extreme and evil media has become

Published: 21 hours ago

For the past 28 years, I’ve worked to wake up people across America and the world. Most are in a fallen state and don’t know it. Fathers are weak or absent, mothers are angry, and children disconnected from fathers and disconnected from God.

You will never know God unless you love your fellow man, beginning with your father.

Because men are weak, women have gone out of control. Together they’ve created excuses, a false religion in which “nobody’s perfect,” accepting wrong as right. Children grow up lost, and in some cases reject Christianity entirely.

Christ called out hypocrites who refused to enter the Kingdom of Heaven themselves – and sought to prevent others from doing so. This same hypocrisy goes on today in the world, with failing parents, deceptive false authority, “experts” and phony preachers. It’s especially ridiculous among “black leaders” and other liberals. But whites and “conservative” Christians are not innocent, which is why our country has sunken to the depths it has. Until Trump, the country was nearly swallowed up by evil. He’s standing against the madness, and now evil is desperate.

Everyone can see how insane the liberals, especially “black leaders,” have become. Many of them pretend to believe in God, but vote for the party of violence, lies, hate and abortion. The Democratic Party is evil, and anyone who votes for Democrats supports evil. When asked why, they point to Republican so-called “racism,” “sexism” or some other made-up “-ism.” They bring false accusations against Trump, and attack straight, white, conservative, Christian men – especially those of power. Liberals tout their phony compassion toward the “poor,” “minorities,” “women” and “children” – but only when the cause favors wrongdoing. They push injustice and call it “justice.”

We’ve all seen how extreme and evil the media is – CNN, New York Times, Washington Post and other leftwing outlets. They hate President Trump, a simple, strong white man who tells the truth and loves America. But they loved Obama, the feminist president who never stopped lying since he ran for president, who hates America. These liberals fanned the flames of the Black Lives Matter riots and cop-killings, but called the agitators “mostly peaceful.” The media support the violent communist Antifa thugs, uncritically calling them “anti-racist” or “anti-fascist.”

The media and liberals manipulate language to seduce blind people. They support illegal aliens, calling them “undocumented immigrants.” They welcome third-world Democrat-leaning Muslims as “refugees.” But they call the murder of white South African natives “fake news.” They support radical homosexuals pushing so-called “marriage equality” or “LGBTQ rights” (both phony, deceptive, destructive ideas). They paint pro-abortion radicals as “pro-choice” for “reproductive rights,” and downplay the ongoing holocaust of unborn children. But they call pro-lifers “anti-abortion rights” (as though being against killing babies in the womb is negative or oppressive).

They call whites “neo-Nazis,” men “rapists,” and non-leftists “far-right.” To them, a non-liberal who defends himself is “violent” and anyone who tells the truth is a “bigot.”

They’re no longer journalists, but activists – joining forces with the Democrats against America – truly the enemy of the people, as Trump said.

The mainstream media still cite the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as a credible source. The SPLC is a far-left “nonprofit” organization pretending to track “hate” – primarily attacking outspoken whites and Christians. They inspired a terror attack on Family Research Council by putting them on their “hate map” for being “anti-gay.”

The SPLC recently labeled Proud Boys as a “hate group.” Proud Boys are a fraternity headed by talk show host Gavin McInnes, founded to promote pride in Western Civilization. Proud Boys typically show up to protect Trump supporters and free speech advocates at rallies. The media call the Proud Boys “violent” for getting into fights with Antifa’s “masked protestors.” The left don’t care that Antifa vandalizes property and attack people at events – including law enforcement and anyone with a camera.

Neither the SPLC, the liberal media, nor the Democratic Party has any authority on what constitutes “hate.” They themselves are full of lies and hatred. They have no love.

People who lack love don’t have real power – or truth. They only have intimidation and seduction.

Unfortunately, many who want what’s right have been intimidated and seduced by the children of the lie. I’ve watched conservatives kiss up to women, blacks and “minorities” as though they deserve special treatment – afraid of being called “racist” or “sexist.”

I’ve also witnessed many young people frustrated by this hypocrisy and injustice, taking the opposite extreme. They openly hate and blame women, Jews and even Baby Boomers.

In anger, people get into the knowledge of good and evil, and Satan leads them by their intellect into darkness.

I am warning you, if you want to overcome evil, you cannot go with blame. People who blame are defeated – victims, pathetic losers and beta males. If you don’t forgive, God won’t forgive you, and you’ll be overtaken by evil.

President Trump is defeating his enemies because he deals with challenges perfectly, telling the truth with no fear or anger. Let’s have faith and do the same.

==================

"SO UNCLE VLADDI, WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON ALL THIS," YOU ASK?

All such divisive group identity politics is tribal gangsterism leading to slavery. They all implicitly endorse group rights and thus ignore all real individual human rights. The urge to join ever-larger gangs (up to "globalism") is caused by the emotion of fear (which cowardice is then outrageously virtue-signaled as pity aka "tolerance" "compassion" "mercy" etc in a "screw you - I meant to do that!" sort of way) - basically, pathological cowards are permanently fearful, "paranoid" masochists who must also embrace hypocrisy to go along (with criminal lies and extortion) to get along (with all the other criminal extortionists). They pretend to be sociable and join gangs simply because they are scared not to!

Therefore, while the good Reverend has laid out and defined his terms correctly, he has still come up with an incorrect conclusion, simply because while he has correctly identified the enemy, he has failed to understand and define his own emotions - to religious people, emotions ARE still morality!

So: re: "In anger, people get into the knowledge of good and evil, and Satan leads them by their intellect into darkness.I am warning you, if you want to overcome evil, you cannot go with blame. People who blame are defeated – victims, pathetic losers and beta males. If you don’t forgive, God won’t forgive you, and you’ll be overtaken by evil." I TOTALLY DISAGREE. The enemy relies on emotion specifically the useless emotion of fear disguised as pity, and hates usefully hopeful anger. Our intellect allows us to correctly perceive and discard our emotions - but without anger (aka "hate") we wouldn't bother to oppose these criminals and their crimes, and by opposing them, hope to end them and prevent future crimes.

If Your Daughter Says She’s Gay or Bi, She’s Probably Not

If Your Daughter Says She’s Gay or Bi, She’s Probably Not

According to 2018 statistics, the millennial generation has the highest number of Americans identifying as LGBT, and it’s increasing every year. Is this simply the result of a more tolerant society freeing people to express their sexual orientation, or is there more to it? I think there’s more to it, and it has nothing to do with sexual orientation.

During the past five years, I’ve heard more parents talk about their children coming out as gay, particularly their daughters, than I’ve heard in the past forty years. According to statistics, this is more than anecdotal. Psychologist John Buss has reported in Psychology Today that, historically, lesbians have only made up approximately 2 percent of the female population. Today, 15 percent of teenage girls and young women identify as lesbian or bisexual, while the percentage of young men who say they’re gay or bisexual is about 3 to 5 percent — an increase, but not far from the historical norm.

What’s going on with our girls? Buss theorizes that girls are turning gay, not because they’re actually gay or bisexual, but because so many guys are losers, particularly those who would rather watch pornography than romance a girl. I agree that many of these girls are probably not gay, but I disagree with Buss’ conclusion that it’s due to porn-obsessed boys driving girls into the arms of their female friends.

I also don’t think it’s because society has become tolerant and permissive of homosexuality, though for those who are truly gay, this has freed them to be open about it. If the striking increase in the number of lesbians and female bisexuals were due to social permissiveness, then we should see an increase in numbers across all generations — maybe not to an equal degree since older people are still influenced by past oppression, but we should see at least some significant increase. We don’t.

According to recent statistics, since 2012 the number of Americans (both male and female) who identify as LGBT has basically stayed the same for Generation X (approx. 3.3%), baby boomers (approx. 2.7%), and traditionalists (approx. 1.7%). These generations also saw declines in recent years, instead of expected increases. Millennials (both male and female), on the other hand, present with much higher numbers and are on the increase: from 5.8 percent in 2012 to 7.3 percent in 2016.

While I concede that there might be a number of reasons for this, one of the most fundamental is a shift in cultural thinking among young people about the nature of sexuality, particularly the conflation of sexuality and sexual orientation. This is especially true for girls because their sexuality is different from boys’.

America Needs More Ladies

A premier study on human sexuality by Meredith Chivers, a psychology professor at Queen’s University in Ontario, found key differences between male and female sexuality that had not been fully explained in the scientific community. Daniel Berger of The New York Times detailed her work in the 2009 article “What Do Women Want?”, and other studies in recent years have supported her conclusions.

Chivers found that the physical sexual arousal of her male subjects directly corresponded with their mental sexual preference/orientation. Straight men were only physically aroused by women portrayed in a sexual context, and gay men were only physically aroused by men. This was true for transgender women (biological males) as well. Their responses were the same as other men. What a man wanted and didn’t want in his mind was directly reflected in his body’s response.

Women were a completely different story. Women, no matter their sexual orientation, were physically aroused by all forms of sexual interplay even if their minds were set on a particular preference. Straight and gay women, along with transgender men (biological females), were all sexually excited by both men and women. The women were also physically aroused by animals engaged in sexual behavior. None of the men were even remotely aroused by sexual interplay outside their orientation, and they definitely weren’t excited by animals mating.

While straight women said they were only excited by a man and woman having sex, their bodies told a different story. Gay women followed suit, saying they were only aroused by women having sex, but their bodies were sexually stimulated by everything. Chivers said it appeared as if the body and brain didn’t belong to the same woman.

A lot of explanations for this have been presented, such as a woman’s emotionally connective nature. One thing it doesn’t mean is that a woman’s physical arousal defines her sexual orientation. If this were true, all women would be attracted to monkeys, and they’d all be bisexual. We know from studies and common sense that this is not true.

So what’s going on? One of the most common explanations for a woman’s physical sexual arousal to all things sex, even though her mind isn’t interested, is rooted in evolutionary psychology. A woman, as the receiver in sex, is the most vulnerable. She can be taken any time, forced against her will to have sex. Her body, therefore, disconnects from her brain and creates a sexual response to protect her from injury.

The Idol of Freedom Is the Cause of Our Loneliness

This explains the phenomena of rape victims finding themselves physically aroused while being violated. Many victims have wrestled with guilt from this horrific awareness, but they have no need to feel shame — this is the body merely protecting itself. The physical response has nothing to do with a woman’s true desire.

Given the disconnected nature of a woman’s sexuality, what happens in a society that has actively sexualized girls? What happens in a society that has prioritized physical desire over rational thought, feelings over the mind? What happens in a society in which homosexuality is glorified as the latest fad in the midst of heightened sexualization and emotionalism? The logical conclusion is that you have girls equating their sexual orientation with whatever they’re feeling as their adolescent hormones catch fire.

With the increase of young girls watching gay porn, seeing lesbian interaction on television shows, observing female interactions in the media in an overtly sexual frame, being told that what they feel is reality, and experiencing the normal sexual tensions girls feel once they hit puberty, it’s no wonder the number of girls identifying as gay and bisexual has skyrocketed. A sexualized environment coupled with the mind taking a backseat to emotions directs a girl whose body is already omnisexual to believe her orientation is something it might not be.
A young impressionable girl raised in such a culture will naturally gravitate to the sexual attraction of other women and make this her identity, either becoming a lesbian or, as most do, bisexual. She will not be taught or even realize that what she is feeling is probably not her sexuality at all, but her body’s objective response to stimuli — as thoughtless as her skin getting goosebumps when it's cold.

Feelings stirred while viewing the panacea of sexual imagery in the media or sexualized selfies on Instagram doesn’t mean a girl is gay or bi. It means she’s female. In the past, these feelings would pass quickly as they were filtered through a rational brain and a sober culture that hadn’t been steeped in emotionalism and sexualization. Even if girls experimented with a kiss or something more, it would fade into memory with no thought of being gay. Now there’s no filter, only the tyranny of arousal.

This understanding of female sexuality should serve as a guidepost to parents whose young daughters, whether they’re pre-teens, teens, or in their early twenties, announce they are gay or bisexual. It should also serve as a warning of the destructive influence of emotionalism and media sexualization on a girl’s sexual awareness. Given that such a small percentage of women have historically been gay, and the number of gay men has remained relatively steady, maybe your daughter isn’t what she thinks she is — precisely because she’s not thinking; she’s only feeling.

DNA proves the Earliest North American Natives were WHITES

The so-called "indigenous Natives" are really only displaced backwoods hillbilly ASIANS who have been here for only 2,000 years. Maybe we should give North America back to China, since Asians are in such a Global MinorityTM position and are too busy worshiping trees to work as hard as their Chinese cousins.

OR we could admit the truth: the earliest indigenous natives in North America were ... WHITES!

    Scientists discover DNA proving original Native Americans were White

    Jan, 16 2018 Author: Thema Newsroom
    “This is a new population of Native Americans – the white Native American”
    A new discovery of ancient DNA may overturn the idea that the Native Americans were the first to have populated the American continent. Instead, a new group known as the ancient Beringians, who are more closely related to modern white Europeans has been discovered by researchers. Genetic analysis of a baby girl who died at the end of the last ice age shows she belonged to this previously unknown ancient group of Beringians.
    A baby girl who lived and died in what is now Alaska, at the end of the last ice age belonged to a previously unknown group of ancient people who branched off from the ancestors of modern Europeans, according to DNA recovered from her bones.
    The child, a mere six weeks old when she died, was found in a burial pit next to the remains of a stillborn baby, perhaps a first cousin, during excavations of an 11,500-year-old residential camp in Tanana River Valley in Central Alaska. The remains were discovered in 2013, but a full genetic analysis has not been possible until now.
    Researchers tried to recover ancient DNA from both of the infants but succeeded only in the case of the larger individual. They had expected her genetic material to resemble modern northern or southern lineages of Native Americans, but found instead that she had a distinct genetic makeup that made her a member of a separate population.
    A new genome from a Pleistocene burial in Alaska confirms a longstanding belief that European ancestors first arrived in America.
    The newly-discovered group, named “ancient Beringians,” appears to have split off from the Europeans around 20,000 years ago and made their way to North America via Alaska, when a frozen land bridge made the crossing from Europe and Asia into North America possible. The ancient Beringians then pushed south as the ice caps melted and mixed with other Native American populations, which is why many Native Americans today also exhibit physical characteristics more commonly associated with whites. According to Eske Willerslev, an evolutionary geneticist at the University of Copenhagen, whose team recovered the girl’s DNA from a dense part of her skull known as the petrous bone,
    “This is a new population of Native Americans – the white Native American.”
    The findings which were published in the scientific journal Nature, are controversial and represent a growing body of evidence being discovered across the world that suggests the origins of the human race may have been Europe and not Africa as once believed.
    Working with scientists at the University of Alaska and elsewhere, Willerslev compared the genetic makeup of the baby, named Xach’itee’aanenh t’eede gaay or “sunrise child-girl” by the local community, with genomes from other ancient and modern people. They found that nearly half of the girl’s DNA came from the ancient north Europeans who lived in what is now Scandinavia. The rest of her genetic makeup was a roughly even mix of DNA now carried by the northern and southern Native Americans. Using evolutionary models, the researchers showed that the ancestors of the first Native Americans started to emerge as a distinct population about 35,000 years ago. About 25,000 years ago, this group mixed and bred with ancient north Asians in the region, the descendants of whom went on to become the first white Europeans to settle the New World.
    During the last ice age, so much water was locked up in the ice caps that a land bridge reached from Europe and Asia to North America across what is now the Bering Strait. Willerslev believes the ancestors of these early white Europeans traveled to the continent in a single wave of migration more than 20,000 years ago. Those who settled in the north became the ancient Beringians, he said, while those who moved south, around or through the ice sheets, split into the north and south Native Americans about 15,700 years ago.
    But there is another possibility. Ben Potter, an archaeologist on the team from the University of Alaska in Fairbanks, suspects that the Beringians split from the ancestors of other Native Americans in Europe before both groups made their way across the land bridge to North America in separate migrations,
    “The support for this scenario is pretty strong. We have no evidence of people in the Beringia region 20,000 years ago.”
    Potter suggests that alternatively, these early European settlers may have mixed with Asians before crossing over to North America and were responsible for creating the original Native American people. The families who lived at the ancient camp may have spent months there, Potter said. Excavations at the site, known as Upward Sun River, have revealed at least three tent structures that would have provided shelter. The two babies were found in a burial pit beneath a hearth where families cooked salmon caught in the local river. The cremated remains of a third child, who died at the age of three, were found on top of the hearth at the abandoned camp.
    Connie Mulligan, an anthropologist at the University of Florida, said the findings pointed to a single migration of people from Europe to the New World via Asia, but said other questions remained.
    “How did people move so quickly to the southernmost point of South America and settle two continents that span a huge climatic and geographic range?”
    But it may also be testimony to the hardiness of white European genes and their desire for better living conditions. With the land bridge from Asia to North America fast disappearing and in search of better food and water, the early Europeans would have feasted on the salmon they caught in the wild, which would no doubt would have enhanced their cognitive faculties and ability to anticipate and assess the rapidly changing situation.
    David Reich, a geneticist at Harvard University, said the work boosted the case for a single migration into Alaska and then onward to North and South America, but he did not rule out alternatives involving multiple waves of migration. He added that he was unconvinced that the ancient Beringian group split from the ancestors of other Native Americans 20,000 years ago, because even tiny errors in scientists’ data can lead to radically different split times for evolutionary lineages.
    “While the 19,000-21,000 year date would have important implications if true and may very well be right, I am not convinced that there is compelling evidence that the initial split date is that old.”
    “It’s entirely possible that they were ancient Europeans through and through.”

    Sacrificing our children to the state

    From here:




    The natural progression of a society with legalized baby murder and legalized euthanasia of the elderly and infirmed is the legalization of child murder. And so the Toronto Sick Kids hospital's recent policy paper on administering assisted death to children without parental consent has drawn little attention.

    The September 21 paper, written by doctors at Sick Kids, along with administrators and medical ethicists, was published in the British Medical Journal's J Med Ethics and backed by the University of Toronto's Joint Centre for Bioethics. The paper appeared just three months before the Canadian Council of Academies is due to report to Parliament on the medical consensus of extending voluntary euthanasia to children under 18, psychiatric patients and patients who have expressed a preference for dying before they were rendered incapable by Alzheimer's or some other disease. The assisted murder of people falling in these categories is currently prohibited by Canadian law.

    The paper's authors argue there is no meaningful ethical distinction between a patient choosing to refuse burdensome treatment and accepting an inevitable death versus patients who choose to die by chemical injection before the disease brings on death. And since Ontario law does not require parents to be involved in a "capable minor's" decision to refuse further treatment, there is no legal reason to include parents in decisions about "assisted death."


    In other words, if the proposal is adopted physicians will be legally able to kill minor children at the child's request without consultation with parents; kill mentally ill people — who lack the capacity for rational thought; and kill people who may or may not one day develop an illness. That ultimately transcends into physicians having the license to kill anyone for any reason. So much for the Hippocratic Oath — first, do no harm.

    The abortion crowd and their defenders and proponents justify the murders of the soon-to-be-born humans by claiming they are just "tissues" like cancers or bad kidneys or are "parasitic growths" that need to be excised from the woman's body. But these "tissues" are not at all like cancers or bad kidneys because they contain hearts, livers, kidneys, brains, etc., and their own DNA. This moral relativism, of course, provides cover for the fact that a cancer or kidney or parasite will never be able to survive outside the body, but the human baby is a unique person who will be able to in a matter of weeks.

    The abortion crowd and their defenders and proponents lament that the baby may be "defective" or born to poor or abusive parents, or it won't be properly cared for or properly educated (feeble-minded) and would, therefore, be a "drain on society" or possibly produce more progeny that would likewise be feeble-minded, so it would be "better off" if they were sucked out of the womb, chopped up, placed in red bags and incinerated. After all, who could couch such a thing as a youngster being born to "inferiors" or growing up in the company of "inferiors" and possibly producing more "inferior" offspring. Besides, those parts could better serve humanity through sacrificing their lives for research.

    The devaluation of life is already public policy, as we see in the widespread acceptance of abortion. It’s certainly not surprising that a people who look on removing the soon-to-be-born from the womb as no more drastic than removing a decaying tooth from a mouth would come to believe that humans are expendable when they become inconvenient or sick; especially when it is supported by millions of dollars from the federal treasury.

    This mindset is the same one of the progressive left in the early 20th century that gave us American and Nazi eugenicists. In 1935, the American Eugenics Society's dogma held that eugenics was a "racial preventive medicine" that sought to remove "degenerates" that were an "insidious disease" affecting the societal body in a similar manner to a cancer in the human body.

    They justified their actions by dehumanizing their prey. Modern day eugenicists have just removed the racial component and decided that anyone who is unwanted or ill should be disposed of as societal preventive medicine.

    In 2005 the Dutch became the first to permit euthanasia and propose guidelines for mercy killings of terminally ill newborns. The murder is carried out by administering a lethal dose of sedatives. We are told that Iceland has "basically eradicated, almost, Down syndrome." That's not true. But what is true is that in Iceland babies with chromosome abnormalities are eliminated in the womb because "Life isn't black and white. Life is grey."

    Great Britain had the recent well-publicized state murders of Charlie Gard and Alfie Evans and in the U.S. we had Terri Schiavo — not a minor, but someone who was unable to make decisions for herself.

    Medical ethicists — an apparent oxymoron — have long claimed that healthcare should be denied to those who aren't beneficial to society.

    In his 1998 book, "The Ends of Human Life: Medical Ethics in a Liberal Polity," Ezekiel Emanuel, healthcare policy advisor under President Obama and brother of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, we find this passage:


    People aspire to be members of a community by participating in its political deliberations. Through such participation, citizens can realize political autonomy, that is, living under conditions they legislate. They can also realize certain capacities, such as the capacity for responsibility and moral reflection. And finally, through their participation in communal deliberations citizens become bound to the larger community, seeing their own interests in its common interest. In this way they transcend their individual existence to become part of an ongoing community with a posterity… Similarly, in the area of selecting medical interventions, the deliberative conception suggests that certain capacities are necessary for a worthy and meaningful life. Without the potential capacities for engaging in deliberations, one is not a full person."

    In other words, if grandma had a stroke and can't speak, or your brother is born mentally handicapped or is brain damaged from an accident, or a toddler has leukemia, then those people aren't "full persons," according to Emanuel. They don't have the potential to participate in political discussions, and participation in the transcendent community — and only that participation — is what grants complete personhood.

    We have fallen into the dishonoring and demeaning state of moral or value relativism. We no longer know right from wrong. Nothing is black and white. Everything is a shade of gray — as the Icelandic abortion doctor says — which is to say that anything goes.

    We are not-so-subtly being taught that sacrificing our children is honorable, desirable and even glorious and a service to our fellow man as long as it's carried out under the benevolence of the medical system or on behalf of the state.

    We glorify our military "heroes" — especially in death — as those people we designate (volunteer) as sacrificial lambs to advance the empire. The people are under the misguided notion that they are thanking these soldiers for the service when, in reality, the people are being manipulated to accept that self-sacrifice is honorable and some lives must be sacrificed — at the direction of the elites — for wars and "police actions" that advance the "common good" — with common good being whatever the elites say it is. When we accept that sacrificing our military sons and daughters is honorable, extending this notion to everyone else is easy.

    We condemn the eugenicists of the early 20th century, and rightly so. But today's eugenicists are considered enlightened forward thinkers and even patriots.

    Dying under the pretense of sickness care is more benevolent than dying by a firing squad. Sickness care under all pretenses is benevolent. It is not possible for many Americans to identify sickness care with death.

    Firing squads and death chambers cost the system money. On the other hand, imagine how much the medical system stands to profit from "sickness care" in America.

    Arranging euthanasia by "mercy killing" and/or "sickness care" is far more acceptable and even benevolent. It's a simple trick of confusing cause and effect.

    A.I. finds culturally-based "politically" correct identity politics factually incorrect!

    From here:

    Amazon's artificial intelligence: Too rational for PC culture

    Exclusive: Sean Harshey on tech giant dumping programs that learned to shun women

    Published: 3 hours ago
    author-image Sean Harshey About | Email | Archive

    Sean Harshey is a radio talk-show host, blogger, podcaster and commentator in Indianapolis, primarily parsing and debating American cultural trends. He was a trial lawyer for nearly 20 years and is an Iraq War veteran.

    Amazon’s high-powered recruiting computers are apparently sexist. So, they have been fired.
    In 2014, Amazon programmers began work on developing what was described by one insider as the “holy grail” of artificial intelligence (AI) applications. The plan was for the computer to intelligently sort through the massive number of resumes and select only the top candidates for hire.

    But there was a problem.

    The computer analyzed personnel data from a period of 10 years and learned patterns for hiring top talent, the kind of talent that built Amazon into the economic and technical juggernaut it is today. By 2015, the company realized the system was not behaving in a gender-neutral manner. The AI had taught itself to penalize resumes containing the word “women’s,” as in “women’s studies” or “women’s business club.” It also downgraded graduates of all-women colleges in the scoring process. Developers edited the system to be neutral regarding those particular terms, but soon realized the machine was capable of learning other patterns that would allow it to identify and discriminate against female candidates. Ultimately, Amazon pulled the plug on the entire project before it was fully utilized.

    Stories like these are fascinating for two reasons.

    First, it is uncharted territory. There has never been a time in human history where we had to concern ourselves that machines we built were learning things we do not want them to learn and going about their work accordingly.

    Second, it is a very stark demonstration of our own cultural taboos.

    Western civilization for the past 150 years or so has enforced a strict moral code that we are not to recognize certain patterns.

    This is an increasing problem with machine learning.

    Artificial intelligence is simply a machine. AI is rational. It does not understand taboos. Computers do not understand sacred cows. Machines cannot comprehend the victimhood caste system in which we live and the web of unspoken social rules to which we adhere. It only knows data. The news stories reporting Google’s image search including photos of black people in searches for gorillas (and the subsequent outrage) is another example of this. Since Google’s engineers could not get their photos app to stop making that cultural mistake, they finally gave up earlier this year and simply banned the term ‘gorilla’ from their AI’s search function.

    The machine could not be made to understand cultural taboos or hurt feelings.

    Humans do this, too. Every so often an Asian leader will make some comment about poor performance in education or crime rates of blacks and Hispanics in America versus whites and Asians. They do not understand they are not supposed to notice such patterns, unless they blame the pattern on a socially approved excuse. In the same way, African leaders over the past few years have made statements or taken actions regarding homosexuals that caused a stir among the gay community in the Western world. It is the stark cultural distinction that makes these things newsworthy.

    These are cultural misunderstandings. Cultures have different histories and taboos that are woven into our interactions, languages and conduct. AI is a an ultimately rational entity without a social culture. It only knows and produces hard reality. It is not worried about being fired or what its neighbors will think or being scorned by society. It only knows its task, and it completes that task without shading results to reach a conclusion acceptable to a sliding scale of various social groups in a culture.

    The persistence of artificial intelligence in offending social taboos starkly illustrates how far political correctness has separated Western civilization from rational behavior.

    Sweden: Europe's Feminist Muslim Rape Capital

    From here and here and here:

    When you can't talk about what you really need to talk about, then you take refuge in distractions.
    Sweden is obsessively feminist. It also has one of the highest sexual assault and rape rates in Europe. Its obsessive feminism is creepy and laughable, and irrelevant to its actual problem. The more of a toll Muslim migration takes on Sweden, the more it engages in virtue signaling feminism.
    You would’ve been hard pressed to travel the internet lately and not see the popular Distracted Boyfriend image, which depicts a man swiveling his head backward to gawk at a woman walking in the opposite direction while his girlfriend glares at him in anger.
    Well, a meme based on the viral image has been deemed sexist by Sweden’s advertising ombudsman, The Guardian reported.
    Turns out recruitment ads posted to Facebook by the internet service provider Bahnhof added labels to the boyfriend (“You”), the girlfriend (“Your current workplace”), and the woman walking away (“Bahnhof”) — and the ombudsman ruled the ads gender-discriminatory, the outlet said, citing the Local.
    “The advertisement objectifies women,” the ombudsman said, The Guardian reported. “It presents women as interchangeable items and suggests only their appearance is interesting … It also shows degrading stereotypical gender roles of both men and women and gives the impression men can change female partners as they change jobs.”
    That should fix Sweden. And why women are threatened there.
    Sweden has one of Europe’s highest rates of sexual assaults.
    At 120.79 violent sexual assaults per 100,000 people, and 56 rapes per 100,000, the otherwise bleak socialist country ranks as having the second highest rate of sexual violence in Europe.
    What makes Sweden so exceptionally dangerous for women? Its militant feminism is embedded in its political culture and its educational system. Sweden has boasted of a “feminist foreign policy”, 61% of Swedes in one survey identified as feminists and hold the strongest views on “gender equality” of any Europeans. Swedes are the most likely to believe that it’s okay for men to cry. Only 11% believe that women should take care of the home and only 10% believe that it’s a man’s job to support his family.
    Finland has a third of Sweden’s rape rates and a quarter of its sexual assault rates. Its numbers are still far higher than most of Europe, but nowhere near those of Sweden.
    What could possibly explain the difference?
    Finland is also fairly feminist, but the Muslim proportion of its population is only a third of Sweden. Finland has a third of Sweden’s Muslim population proportion and a third of its rape rate.
    Sweden has the second highest non-indigenous Muslim immigration population rate in Europe and the second highest sexual assault rate in Europe. It would be foolish to pretend that this is a coincidence.
    Sweden has the second highest non-indigenous Muslim population rate in Europe and the second highest sexual assault rate in Europe. Belgium has the third highest Muslim population rate and the third highest sexual violence rate. The Netherlands has the fourth highest sexual assault rate in Europe and the fourth highest Muslim population rate. Germany has the sixth highest assault rate and the sixth highest Muslim population rate. Are all of these numbers just a random coincidence?
    But sure. Let's ban some ads while spreading the Koran. That will fix this.
