newswars--2020-02-17--Athiest Dawkins Says ‘Eugenics Would Work’

In a set of rather bizarre tweets on Sunday , notorious atheist Richard Dawkins argued that eugenics , the practice of selective breeding supported by the Nazis , would work perfectly well if applied to humans , because it works on animals .
“ It ’ s one thing to deplore eugenics on ideological , political , moral grounds .
It ’ s quite another to conclude that it wouldn ’ t work in practice , ” Dawkins wrote .
“ Of course it would .
It works for cows , horses , pigs , dogs & roses .
Why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for humans ?
Facts ignore ideology , ” he added .
Sensing that his comments would generate immediate backlash and Hitler comparisons , Dawkins clarified that he wasn ’ t advocating for eugenics , merely acknowledging that it would be a very effective practice .
“ For those determined to miss the point , I deplore the idea of a eugenic policy , ” he said .
“ I simply said deploring it doesn ’ t mean it wouldn ’ t work .
Just as we breed cows to yield more milk , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or jump higher .
But heaven forbid that we should do it.
” Dawkins explained .
Dawkins has previously made his thoughts on eugenics clear , writing that he suspects “ that the idea is too dangerous for comfortable discussion , and my conjecture is that Adolf Hitler is responsible for the change.
” “ Nobody wants to be caught agreeing with that monster , even in a single particular.
” Dawkins continued , adding “ The spectre of Hitler has led some scientists to stray from “ ought ” to “ is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ qualities is even possible.
” “ But if you can breed cattle for milk yield , horses for running speed , and dogs for herding skill , why on Earth should it be impossible to breed humans for mathematical , musical or athletic ability ?
Objections such as ‘ these are not one-dimensional abilities ’ apply equally to cows , horses and dogs and never stopped anybody in practice.
” Dawkins urged .
“ In the 1920s and 1930s , scientists from both the political left and right would not have found the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ though of course they would not have used that phrase.
” Dawkins further asserted .
“ I wonder whether , some 60 years after Hitler ’ s death , we might at least venture to ask what the moral difference is between breeding for musical ability and forcing a child to take music lessons .
Or why it is acceptable to train fast runners and high jumpers but not to breed them .
I can think of some answers , and they are good ones , which would probably end up persuading me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ come when we should stop being frightened even to put the question ?
” the evolutionary biologist stated .
Dawkins ’ latest considerations on eugenics quickly opened up a torrent of disbelief .
Greg Epstein , Humanist Chaplain at Harvard University , was one of the first to respond :

Okaaaay, Mein Führer.
Sensing that his comments would generate immediate backlash and Hitler comparisons, Dawkins clarified that he wasn’t advocating for eugenics, merely acknowledging that it would be a very effective practice.
“For those determined to miss the point, I deplore the idea of a eugenic policy,” he said.
“I simply said deploring it doesn’t mean it wouldn’t work. Just as we breed cows to yield more milk, we could breed humans to run faster or jump higher. But heaven forbid that we should do it.” Dawkins explained.
A eugenic policy would be bad. I’m combating the illogical step from “X would be bad” to “So X is impossible”. It would work in the same sense as it works for cows. Let’s fight it on moral grounds. Deny obvious scientific facts & we lose – or at best derail – the argument. — Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) February 16, 2020

So unacceptable for Richard Dawkins to tweet about eugenics without clearly condemning it. Dawkins is *supposedly* one of our exemplars of humanism & science outreach.

This eugenics crap is so dangerous. In the US it lead to forced sterilizations of women in the South — sometimes against their wills, often without their knowledge — that became so common that they came to be referred to as “Mississippi appendectomies.” https://t.co/TKFQGFc0dL — Charles M.

While Richard Dawkins is a noted biologist, his science on eugenics is bad. We turned magnificent wolves into pure breed dogs with severe genetic defects causing joint and heart problems and cancer. In fact, many Cavalier spaniels develop mitral valve and neurological disorders. — Eugene Gu, MD (@eugenegu) February 16, 2020
I have literally never seen an argument against eugenics that hinges on the idea of whether or not it “would work.” The issue is what would it mean to say that eugenics “works,” which you conveniently have not defined. Care to elaborate on what a “working” model of eugenics is? — Rani “Laura Palmer Eldritch” Baker (@destroyed4com4t) February 16, 2020
You absolute pin-headed simpleton. It doesn’t work in practice because too many of the goals turn out to be arbitrary fantasies, and too many of those fantasies are the pet projects of abusive bigots who fuck up any civilization they get their hands on.

Footage has surfaced of billionaire Democrat presidential candidate and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg advocating a healthcare system that would deny cancer treatment to the elderly and use funds for young people instead .
Bloomberg explaining how healthcare will “ bankrupt us , ” unless we deny care to the elderly .

“ If you show up with prostate cancer and you ’ re 95-years-old , we should say , ‘ Go and enjoy … live a long life.
’ There ’ s no cure , and we can ’ t do anything , ” Bloomberg said .
“ If you ’ re a young person , we should do something @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ready to do that yet.

newswars--2020-02-17--Bernie Sanders’s Long History of Pushing Government Takeovers of Private Markets

Socialist ideas have taken a hold on some of the more progressive members of the Democratic Party , namely Senator Bernie Sanders .
The latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll , however , may provide Senator Sanders with a reason for concern .
Although 40 percent of Democratic primary voters express positive views of socialism , only 19 percent of all voters express the same positivity .
The Vermont senator may be able to stand out in the crowded Democratic primary , but the general election voter will likely be cautious of some of Senator Sanders ’ s proposals .
As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the “ governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods , ” according to Merriam-Webster .
That is , it ’ s not just a vague notion that the government should do more .
Socialism is a system of government ownership .
Through Senator Sanders ’ s lengthy career in politics and even in recent years , he has advocated the nationalization , or government ownership , of numerous industries .
Throughout the 1970s , Senator Sanders was an avid proponent of the nationalization of utilities , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and the public ownership of banks and major industries .
According to the Wall Street Journal , as late as 1987 Sanders conflated democracy with the “ public ownership of the major means of production.
” His proposals are often blanketed by calls for a host of positive rights , or rights entitling one person to have another person act in their interest .
Such positive rights include the right to healthcare , education , a living wage , affordable housing , and “ a secure retirement.
” Senator Sanders has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ career , he has called for the nationalization , or “ democratization , ” of the following industries : • Senator Sanders ’ s plan to tackle climate change includes a $ 16 trillion initiative to transition the United States toward renewable energy sources .
This plan consists of dramatically increasing funding to administrations overseen by the Department of Energy and utilizing the regulatory force of the Environmental Protection Agency to strictly regulate carbon dioxide emissions .
Sanders ’ s EPA would enact much more stringent emissions limits than those enacted during the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of coal and gas plants .
Only private renewable energy producers and federal utilities would remain .
Back in 1973 , Sanders wrote to Vermont ’ s then senator Robert Stafford , “ the oil industry , and the entire energy industry , should be owned by the public and used for the public good—not for additional profits for billionaires.
” • Although Senator Sanders has focused on nationalizing utilities , he has placed special emphasis on high-speed internet access as “ a basic human right.
” His contention is that tax revenues @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it must be a public good for all , “ not another price gouging profit machine , ” writes the Seattle Times .
His plan 1 ) requires internet service providers to provide a “ Basic Internet Plan , ” 2 ) redefines “ minimum broadband speeds ” in order to set an internet speed floor of 100 Mbps for downloads and 10 Mbps for uploads , 3 ) allocates $ 150 billion to create modern infrastructure for “ widely accessible ” and “ affordable ” high-speed broadband , and 4 ) imposes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which ends throttling , a business tactic that hinders the usage of data consumption by users .
• The most contentious of all of Sanders ’ s plans , Medicare for All , would completely overhaul the entire healthcare system .
Medicare for All would create a single-payer , national health insurance program to provide comprehensive coverage to all .
Sanders ’ s plan goes further than most other progressives ’ plans by effectively eliminating private insurance .
Vox notes a feud between progressives as to whether or not a federally funded public @ @ @ @ @ @ @ According to the Wall Street Journal , Sanders “ plays down the radicalism of Medicare for All…by arguing that we are only ‘ talking about expanding the most popular health-insurance program in America.
’ ” Aside from the dubious economics behind a universal healthcare program in a country of 320 million people , Sanders and his colleagues have been at war over the real cost of these plans .
Sanders has conceded that middle-class Americans will pay more in taxes , but the tax increases , he contends , will be far less @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In addition to universal healthcare , Sanders has called for “ public ownership of the drug companies and placing doctors on salaries [ a form of price control ] .

Socialist ideas have taken a hold on some of the more progressive members of the Democratic Party, namely Senator Bernie Sanders.
The latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, however, may provide Senator Sanders with a reason for concern. Although 40 percent of Democratic primary voters express positive views of socialism, only 19 percent of all voters express the same positivity. The Vermont senator may be able to stand out in the crowded Democratic primary, but the general election voter will likely be cautious of some of Senator Sanders’s proposals.
As many readers are aware, socialism provides for the “governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods,” according to Merriam-Webster. That is, it’s not just a vague notion that the government should do more. Socialism is a system of government ownership.
Through Senator Sanders’s lengthy career in politics and even in recent years, he has advocated the nationalization, or government ownership, of numerous industries. Throughout the 1970s, Senator Sanders was an avid proponent of the nationalization of utilities, the federal takeover of the energy industry, and the public ownership of banks and major industries.
According to the Wall Street Journal, as late as 1987 Sanders conflated democracy with the “public ownership of the major means of production.” His proposals are often blanketed by calls for a host of positive rights, or rights entitling one person to have another person act in their interest. Such positive rights include the right to healthcare, education, a living wage, affordable housing, and “a secure retirement.”
Senator Sanders has been remarkably consistent. During his long political career, he has called for the nationalization, or “democratization,” of the following industries:
Senator Sanders’s plan to tackle climate change includes a $16 trillion initiative to transition the United States toward renewable energy sources. This plan consists of dramatically increasing funding to administrations overseen by the Department of Energy and utilizing the regulatory force of the Environmental Protection Agency to strictly regulate carbon dioxide emissions. Sanders’s EPA would enact much more stringent emissions limits than those enacted during the Obama administration, resulting in the retirement of coal and gas plants. Only private renewable energy producers and federal utilities would remain. Back in 1973, Sanders wrote to Vermont’s then senator Robert Stafford, “the oil industry, and the entire energy industry, should be owned by the public and used for the public good—not for additional profits for billionaires.” Although Senator Sanders has focused on nationalizing utilities, he has placed special emphasis on high-speed internet access as “a basic human right.” His contention is that tax revenues assist in building the internet, so it must be a public good for all, “not another price gouging profit machine,” writes the Seattle Times. His plan 1) requires internet service providers to provide a “Basic Internet Plan,” 2) redefines “minimum broadband speeds” in order to set an internet speed floor of 100 Mbps for downloads and 10 Mbps for uploads, 3) allocates $150 billion to create modern infrastructure for “widely accessible” and “affordable” high-speed broadband, and 4) imposes net neutrality on internet service providers, which ends throttling, a business tactic that hinders the usage of data consumption by users. The most contentious of all of Sanders’s plans, Medicare for All, would completely overhaul the entire healthcare system. Medicare for All would create a single-payer, national health insurance program to provide comprehensive coverage to all. Sanders’s plan goes further than most other progressives’ plans by effectively eliminating private insurance. Vox notes a feud between progressives as to whether or not a federally funded public option should compete with private insurance. According to the Wall Street Journal, Sanders “plays down the radicalism of Medicare for All…by arguing that we are only ‘talking about expanding the most popular health-insurance program in America.’” Aside from the dubious economics behind a universal healthcare program in a country of 320 million people, Sanders and his colleagues have been at war over the real cost of these plans. Sanders has conceded that middle-class Americans will pay more in taxes, but the tax increases, he contends, will be far less than the cost of buying private insurance. In addition to universal healthcare, Sanders has called for “public ownership of the drug companies and placing doctors on salaries [a form of price control].” Along with Sanders’s proposal to overhaul the healthcare industry is a plan to replace for-profit credit reporting agencies with a public credit registry. Public credit registries are common throughout the world, albeit sometimes used in collaboration with private credit bureaus. The argument is that credit reporting agencies have become utilities in that consumers have no direct involvement with the agencies, writes Vox, but that the agencies’ product has a significant impact on an individual’s day-to-day life. Credit reporting agencies receive information from various data furnishers, or data providers, and in turn use scoring models, or algorithms, to determine a credit risk score. Sanders and other prominent progressives view the discrepancies in credit scores and access to credit as systematic racial discrimination, and thus they believe the only alternative is for the federal government to create its own public credit registry.

As the argument goes, Senator Sanders and a large portion of the Democrat Party seek to cap the interest rate that payday lenders can charge to consumers to end the cycle of poverty perpetuation. The Intercept argues that the nation’s thirty-one thousand post offices issuing “simple bank accounts and even short-term loans” would solve the issue for those one-in-four American households with little or no access to banking. Voila! A government “solution” to a government-created problem; a problem that can be solved by financial technology (fintech) or credit unions. As I have written extensively, Sanders and his colleague Senator Elizabeth Warren have proposed to “cancel” student loan debt and to guarantee tuition and debt-free public colleges. On Sanders’s campaign’s website, he outlines the details of his plan. Although most public colleges are funded by state governments or state-led scholarship programs, these institutions also accept federal funding, as well as tuition revenues from federally guaranteed student loans. Sanders’s plan intends to use federal taxes to cover the cost of tuition. This plan will result in further federal requirements, possibly similar to the requirements under Title IX, and enlarged administrative costs. It is not clear how Senator Sanders’s plan would coexist with state funding for universities. Would state governments continue to fund higher education at all? As if Senator Sanders had taken a cue from Senator Warren’s campaign, he has proposed a high-cost government plan for nearly every major issue. His housing plan consists of 1) investing $2.5 trillion to build “10 million permanently affordable housing units,” 2) expanding Section 8 vouchers under the Fair Housing Act to make rent affordable to all eligible families, and 3) combating gentrification, exclusionary zoning, and restrictive zoning.

The failure to highlight Assange’s case triggered widespread ridicule on social media.

Another person hit out at the paper for not mentioning the journalist’s imprisonment, saying Assange was “locked up at the behest of the US because he exposed war crimes,” while another joked: “Conscience-free journalism is a great career choice for so many like him [Wintour].”

A peculiar movement of gas clouds close to the center of our galaxy may finally provide concrete evidence for a mysterious form of black hole whose very existence has yet to be proven by scientists.
We already know that the smallest and the largest types of black hole exist, but for a long time doubts have remained about the middle category.
Here’s how the types breakdown:
1-100 solar masses = stellar mass black hole
100 to 100,000 solar masses = intermediate-mass black hole
100,000 to billions of solar masses = supermassive black hole
Questions hang over these ‘intermediate mass black holes’ simply because researchers have never been able to find any. However, astronomers who detected gas clouds moving unusually near the center of the Milky Way may have finally gotten that proof.
The scientists concluded that the strange movements are due to the clouds orbiting an object 10,000 times the mass of the Sun – but when they examine the area where that object should be, nothing can be found. The boffins believe this is due to a quiescent black hole, which doesn’t emit a detectable level of radiation because it isn’t ‘feeding.’
They add that this is the fifth such object observed in the middle of the Milky Way, suggesting that, not only do intermediate mass black holes exist, they’re also plentiful in the heart of our galaxy.
The researchers from the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan have been studying the movement of the gas clouds in a bid to confirm that black holes of this size exist and to figure out how they’re formed, and also to unravel why they’ve been elusive until now.
The research has been accepted by The Astrophysical Journal. It suggests that searching the middle of the Milky Way is a reliable method to find intermediate mass black hole candidates.

New research indicates that a common treatment for coughs and respiratory illnesses , discovered over 50 years ago , may prove to be the secret weapon which could halt the progression of Parkinson ’ s disease .
A clinical trial of Ambroxol , an active ingredient in cough medicines since the 1970s , has just concluded with some truly staggering results .
Some 17 patients were given a daily dose over a six-month period and noticed a halt in the progression of symptoms of the syndrome as well as some modest improvements in their motor function .
The drug successfully @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by patients living with Parkinson ’ s .
Researchers say the breakthrough could prove to be a major development in the fight against the debilitating disease .
“ The ambroxol study is important because there are no treatments available for Parkinson ’ s that slow , stop , or reverse [ it ] ” explained Simon Stott , deputy director of research at the Cure Parkinson ’ s Trust .
“ All of the current medications only deal with the symptoms of the condition – they do nothing to delay the progression of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wanted to assess whether the drug would have any negative interactions with patients who had GBA1 mutations , considered a highly important genetic risk factor which predisposes people to the earlier and more rapid onset of symptoms .
This mutation inhibits the releases of GCase proteins which clean up our brain tissues and prevent the build-up of another protein , alpha-synuclein , which is believed to be the main culprit behind cognitive degeneration in Parkinson ’ s .
The research backs up previous human and animal studies in showing that ambroxol can increase @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 35 percent while simultaneously reducing alpha-synuclein levels .
Scientists will delve deeper into these neuroprotective effects in the near future as funding was just announced last week for a much larger , longer study called PD-Frontline which is already accepting applications .
While it ’ s early days yet , and more data from larger trials are needed , the results are already highly promising in the battle against the long-term degenerative disorder .

Some 17 patients were given a daily dose over a six-month period and noticed a halt in the progression of symptoms of the syndrome as well as some modest improvements in their motor function.
The drug successfully crossed the blood-brain barrier and was well-tolerated by patients living with Parkinson’s. Researchers say the breakthrough could prove to be a major development in the fight against the debilitating disease.
“The ambroxol study is important because there are no treatments available for Parkinson’s that slow, stop, or reverse [it]” explained Simon Stott, deputy director of research at the Cure Parkinson’s Trust.

The meeting between Trump and Guaidó on Feb 5 was nothing short of historic , suggests that the US could support a future military intervention to remove the Maduro regime .
The Trump administration has been tightening political , diplomatic , and economic screws on Maduro , but despite a crashed economy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ survive .
Back in 2017 , Trump said he is “ not going to rule out a military option ” to confront the Venezuelan president .

The country continues to descend into chaos , and it appears that Maduro understands @ @ @ @ @ @ @ least maybe a proxy force of some sort , could be imminent .
Maduro ’ s response to this lingering threat was to launch one of the most massive war drills the country has seen in years this weekend , called Bolivarian Shield 2020 .
The objected of the exercise is to strengthen national defenses against armed aggressions : “ We started the Bolivarian Shield 2020 Exercise , with the deployment of our glorious FANB ( Bolivarian National Armed Forces ) in a Civic Military Union , with more than 2 million 300 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , independence and national sovereignty .

Presidential hopeful Michael Bloomberg believes farmers and blue collar workers are simpletons with jobs that don ’ t require much intelligence , according to newly-surfaced video .
“ I could teach anybody , even the people in this room , no offense intended ” to be a farmer , Bloomberg said during a 2016 talk at Oxford University in a now-viral clip .
“ It ’ s a process : You dig a hole , you put a seed in , you put dirt on top , add water , up comes the corn , ” he stated .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ NYC mayor also downplayed blue collar workers .
“ You put a piece of metal on the lathe , you turn the crank the direction of the arrow , and you can have a job , ” he continued .
Critics blasted Bloomberg ’ s statements as demeaning , elitist and out-of-touch with America , particularly flyover country .
Outside their private-sector business ventures , politicians like Bloomberg represent a predatory class that doesn ’ t actually produce anything .
At least Hillary Clinton pretended to care about working-class Americans ; Bloomberg can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , maybe having Hillary as Bloomberg ’ s running mate will add a tiny , tiny drop of charisma that his campaign lacks completely .

“It’s a process: You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, add water, up comes the corn,” he stated. “You could learn that.”
Billionaire Bloomberg claims he “could teach anybody to be a farmer,” even implying that farmers don’t have the same level of “skillset” or “grey matter” as folks in tech jobs. So demeaning, elitist, and out-of-touch it’s appalling. pic.twitter.com/Auplmdq56m — Anna Kelly (@AnnaKellyWI) February 17, 2020
The former NYC mayor also downplayed blue collar workers.
“You put a piece of metal on the lathe, you turn the crank the direction of the arrow, and you can have a job,” he continued.

Here Mike, go out and operate this……. Looks like a tech job to me…. pic.twitter.com/wgXUNyEsFB — jsc (@jscottcharlton) February 17, 2020
“You dig a hole up comes the corn.” Yeeeaaah… Isn’t that easy. Nevermind that to be a successful farmer you have to be a mix of mechanic, carpenter, chemist, veterinarian, horticulturalist, climatologist, geneticist, animal behaviorist…etc..etc..etc…. — Illidari Edgelord (@EdgelordED) February 17, 2020
$100 bucks says Bloomberg can’t change a spark plug. — InTheRightColumn (@TheRightColumn) February 17, 2020
Outside their private-sector business ventures, politicians like Bloomberg represent a predatory class that doesn’t actually produce anything.
At least Hillary Clinton pretended to care about working-class Americans; Bloomberg can’t even do that.
Ironically, maybe having Hillary as Bloomberg’s running mate will add a tiny, tiny drop of charisma that his campaign lacks completely.

The World Health Organization has held talks with tech giants to stop the spread of coronavirus “ misinformation , ” despite the fact that some things once labeled “ misinformation ” have since turned out to be true .
The meeting was organized by the WHO but hosted by Facebook at its Menlo Park campus in California .
Attendees included representatives from Amazon , Twilio , Dropbox , Google , Verizon , Salesforce , Twitter , YouTube , Airbnb , Kinsa and Mapbox .
According to the WHO ’ s Andy Pattison , an “ infodemic ” of misinformation has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ giants need to respond by censoring “ fake news ” content .
Both Facebook and Twitter already announced that they would remove content deemed to be misinformation regarding the virus , a dangerous new lurch to mass censorship given that what is considered “ misinformation ” is totally subjective and beholden to partisan bias .
Two clear examples of “ misinformation ” surrounding the coronavirus subsequently turned out to be true .
The first example was claims that China was hiding the true number of coronavirus victims , once labeled a “ conspiracy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ proven accurate on Friday when 14,800 new coronavirus cases were reported in a single day .
The second example was suspicions that the virus could have emerged from a bio-safety level 4 research lab in Wuhan .
This contention has been aggressively attacked by the media and big tech giants – Zero Hedge was even banned by Twitter for reporting it – but a new study by scientists at the prestigious South China University of Technology in Guangzhou has confirmed that “ the killer coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory in Wuhan.
