Nog maar vorige week concludeerde nieuw onderzoek dat het Israëlische leger bewust op Palestijnse kinderen in Gaza schiet, zelfs na het staakt-het-vuren. Er bestaat een woord voor het vermoorden van kinderen in oorlogstijd, het bombarderen van kinderziekenhuizen, het structureel vernietigen van woonwijken, het met geweld verdrijven van een volk uit zijn leefomgeving en de inzet van uithongering als tactisch wapen, maar ik kan er nu toevallig niet opkomen.

Up to 106,000 clients of the French power network were left without power by late Tuesday as the scorching temperatures strained infrastructure built before man-driven climate change made heatwaves longer, more frequent and more intense, according to scientists. Sales of fans and air conditioners, meanwhile, skyrocketed in a country where most buildings are not designed to deal with extreme heat.

Looking back, it is possible to rake over mistakes, motivated actions as well as omissions by the State. An investigation by Seltzer and Anderson into the misuse of prevalent population data systems in perpetuating human rights abuses in the history of modern nations is quite revealing. During the Second World War, several European countries, including France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland and Romania, abused population registration systems to aid Nazi persecution of Jews, Gypsies and other population groups. The Jewish population suffered a death rate of 73 per cent in the Netherlands. In the United States of America, misuse of population data on Native Americans and Japanese Americans in the Second World War is well documented. In the Soviet Union, micro data (including specific names and addresses) were used to target minority populations for forced migration and other human rights abuses. In Rwanda, categories of Hutu and Tutsi tribes introduced in the registration system by the Belgian colonial administration in the 1930s were used to plan and assist mass killings in 1994. Seltzer and Anderson identify ideology, racism, patriotism, obedience due to fear, bureaucratic opportunism or professional zeal as possible factors that encourage the misuse of data. They suggest several methodological, legal and ethical safeguards to mitigate future abuse of data by raising its financial or political cost.
Post op FB van Maarten Boudry: “Even recapituleren. De VRT heeft een studie besteld over diversiteit en intolerantie. Ze hanteert daarbij het zinloze containercategorie “buitenlandse origine”, dat ze vervolgens volpropt met Nederlanders en andere Europeanen omdat ze kennelijk te weinig Marokkanen en Turken vonden, wat die categorie waardeloos maakt. Maar toen nog stééds bleek dat die groep gemiddeld intoleranter was dan de Belgen, hebben ze instructies gegeven aan hun journalisten om die balkjes maar helemaal weg te moffelen.”
"Hopelijk is het product niet opzettelijk geloosd, maar kwam het per ongeluk in de natuur terecht, bijvoorbeeld door een omgevallen fles", zegt schepen van Waterbeleid Miguel Gheysens (Team ieper), die zelf een ervaren loonsproeier is.

The climate debat is currently at the fourth stage of grief: Depression, ovewhelmend, helplessness, hostility, flight.
Such is the InfoWars I envision: An infinite virtual surface teeming with ads. Not just ads, but scams! Not just scams, but lies with no object, free radical misinformation, sentences and images so poorly thought out that they are unhealthy even to view for just a few seconds. The InfoWars of old was only the prototype for the hell I know we can build together: A digital platform where, every day, visitors sacrifice themselves at altars of delusion and misery, their minds fully disintegrating on contact. With this new InfoWars, we will democratize psychological torture, welcoming brutal and sadistic ideas from everyone, even the very stupidest among us. It will be like the Manhattan Project, only instead of a bomb, we will be building a website.
