Slashdot Mirror

Brianna, you alleged that you are the the target of an online harassment campaign, and that law enforcement has done nothing about it, and yet it has come to light that you never contacted the police in the first place.

Would you explain why you made those allegations? Is there anything you wish to say in defense of your article?

http://www.breitbart.com/big-j...

No, ctid is intentionally lying to try and make this Randi person out to be not a harasser.

As I have no way to verify any of the claims in these articles, you are better off reading them yourself and coming to a conclusion. However, sending comments like in the first article is harassment, and that is out in the open.

Comments like this are harassment, no doubt about it:

“Set yourself on fire.”

“You’ve made your bed, now get fucked in it.”

“Fuck your feelings.”

and they came from Randi towards people she did not agree with.

CLAIM: RANDI HARPERâ(TM)S âANTI-ABUSE CHARITYâ(TM) CONSISTS OF AN EMAIL ACCOUNT AND A TUMBLR
TRUE. Harper describes herself as the founder and chief executive of the âoeOnline Abuse Prevention Initiative.â She has set up a Tumblr and and email account for the organisation. But it has no staff, no proper website, no offices, no external funding and, most importantly, no 501(c)(3) registration. Harper says OAPI is âoein the processâ of being registered.

CLAIM: RANDI HARPER ACCUSED A STANFORD ACADEMIC AND DIVERSITY ADVOCATE OF ABUSE
TRUE. Harper tweeted at or about acclaimed campaigner and academic Vivek Wadhwa, who holds appointments at Duke, Stanford, and Singularity University, over 40 times, accusing him of harassment. He sent back two tweets, both apologetic. She tweeted at him for nine months, and even wrote a fake book review on Amazon to try to besmirch his character.

CLAIM: RANDI HARPER IS HERSELF A TROLL AND A HARASSER
TRUE. She is a notorious one, in fact, whose aberrant online behaviour goes back to the 1990s. Harper has relentlessly pursued dozens of innocent people over the slightest of perceived ideological infractions or personal slights over the years.

CLAIM: RANDI HARPER DOXED A DEBT COLLECTOR
TRUE. In 2011, Harper was being pursued for a debt. Her response was to post the home phone number of the collection firmâ(TM)s chief executive, after first threatening to release his familyâ(TM)s personal information.

Here's another recent example, carefully documented. Pay special attention to the attitude of some people after all the claims were retracted as false.

And here's another notable point in that scandal. I will just quote:

"It has a chilling effect on other reports of sexual harassment. Even if Team Harpy were making things up out of whole cloth, women who experience sexual harassment but haven’t recorded the whole thing on tape are going to be terrified of being sued into the streets because few harrassers are going to admit to their behavior. We need to make it easier to report harassment, not harder — given incidents at tech conferences, the US Congress, and ALA itself."

This is in response of a man, accused of sexual harassment, suing his accusers for defamation. Apparently, even if you're innocent, you shouldn't fight back because it hurts the cause! And furthermore:

"While I think Mr. Murphy should stand down for the good of the profession and in the name of providing a safer environment for people to report harassment, I think that it would be in Mr. Murphy’s own best interest to stand down. ... He should go for dropping the suit for the win. For himself and his profession. And to start building a comfort zone so we won’t have to judge anonymous allegations because people will feel free to come into the light and tell their stories."

i.e. even if you're innocent, stand down. "For the team".

If politicians were capable of not acting like petulant children, than Obama would be a vastly different leader.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-g...

So, a politician's primary duty, to negotiate for what they want, is below Obama, but it is OK to blame the debt crisis on the GOP.

I will defend an individual's right to do so, even if I vehemently disagree with their reasons for doing so.

That's a fine sentiment, but you may be too busy to help barc001, because Pamela Geller's need for support to exercise her right to mock Mohammed is in even graver danger...

Me and Rush Limbaugh are both wondering, just how is the American flag any better? It, likewise, flew over slavery, the subsequent racism, and was (still is!) used in imperialist wars. It covered — still does at times — sexism and parochial bigotry.

Whatever you can say against the Confederate flag, can also be said about the American. Yeah, the latter may have been used for some good, but the sheer period of its usage (over 2 centuries and counting), makes it much worse than the former, whose country only existed for what, four years? Five?

Can it get any worse? Yes it can! A recent study has shown, that simply seeing the flag can cause a hitherto innocent victim to vote Republican! And even a single exposure can last for up to 8 months!

As soon as we are done with KKKonfederate rag, we must turn our energies onto the AmeriKKKan one.

In fact, why wait? Let's act NOW!! .

Maybe, those misunderstood ISIS warriors destroying the symbols of defunct states that practiced slave-ownership are onto something, huh? I for one have always doubted Pythagorean Theorem — what can a long-dead White slave-owner possibly know about any hypotenuse?

In the audit report published November 12, 2014, OIG found that 11 out of 47 computer systems operated by OPM did not have current security authorizations. Furthermore, the affected systems were “amongst the most critical and sensitive applications owned by the agency.” Two of the unauthorized systems are described in the report as “general support systems” which contained over 65 percent of all OPM computer applications. Two other unauthorized systems were owned by Federal Investigative Services, the organization which handles background investigations in connection with government security clearances. OIG warned bluntly, “any weaknesses in the information systems supporting this program office could potentially have national security implications.”

Because of the volume and sensitivity of the information involved, OIG recommended OPM “consider shutting down systems that do not have a current and valid Authorization.” But OPM declined, saying, “We agree that it is important to maintain up-to-date and valid ATOs for all systems but do not believe that this condition rises to the level of a Material Weakness.”

The head of OPM also claimed in recent House hearings that their failure to close these systems down was justified since the hackers were already in the system when the recommendation was made.

In other words, we didn’t do anything to make the system secure, and when hackers broke in it was further justification for not doing anything.

Yeah, let’s put our healthcare under their control also!

Just last week, the Guardian issued a false DMCA takedown to suppress the free speech of a popular Youtuber who criticised one of the Guardian's videos. http://www.breitbart.com/londo...

If you're wondering why you haven't seen it reported here (or anywhere else I bet), the Youtuber is pro-Gamergate, and we all know how that goes (i.e. against the narrative).

P.S. Apologies if you intended your post to be solely anti-Murdoch instead of partisan/anti-right.

It seems that many of those statements are possibly true, but are so chopped down it is very hard to even tell, looking through without even checking any I see:

SARAH PALIN
Says Attorney General Eric Holder recently revealed "this idea to have government have gun owners wear special bracelets that would identify you as a gun owner."

It looks like, OMG, he really did say that.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-g...

Or do you have some kind of proof he didn't say that to the house committee?
He was talking about requiring guns to have fingerprint readers (which are terrible if you have ever actually used one) or bracelets so that they would only fire for the authorized user. How was she lying?

That is just from me reading through, I spent maybe 5 minutes working on this.

Now, however, this does not in any way show her being dumb, it shows her exaggerating and possibly lying. I asked for dumb, not lies, which is what politicians do, or did you get to keep your health plan?

Paul Ryan will see to it. http://www.breitbart.com/big-g...

Some were bogus. (e.g., religious based end-times.)

Um, that one might still happen. Maybe not in the way you were thinking... 1.6 billion muslims and an 80-something% approval rating for both sharia and isis among them wold wide. By the way, Islam forbids killing of the innocent. Unfortunately being guilty of not being a muslim carries the death penalty.

It is not just a random blogger complaining about this. The story was on Breitbart. A lot of MRAs and anti-feminists all over the internet were howling about it. You seem to be one of them, since you feign some condescension towards MRAs, but then immediately say that this stupidity must be a false flag and proceed to launch into some made up screed about a father paying child support for a kid he has sole custody of.

Things must be pretty pathetic, if you must bring up Iran-Contras affair to defend a 21st-century Democratic politician. But, yes, those lost e-mails really are not like that. Whatever you might think of Lt-Colonel Norton and that entire things, that business was not for personal gain.

Massachusetts just shut down it's offshore wind farm program and more are dying (a welcome event for those of us that pay our own bills ) http://www.breitbart.com/big-g...

That project failed because it didn't meet its financing deadline, because people opposed to it tied it up in court for too long. In other words, it didn't die because it was economically bad; it died because NIMBYs and reactionary anti-environmentalists like yourself murdered it.

Take this ludicrous bullshit (quoted from the article), for example:

The Cape Cod Times reports that Charles McLaughlin, Barnstableâ(TM)s assistant town attorney, said: "The townâ(TM)s concerns include the possibility that a collision between a boat and the large electric service platform the project requires could spill thousands of gallons of oil into the sound."

So, this town's conclusion is (incredulously) that the wind farm is bad because one of the oil tankers that it renders obsolete might hit it. That's not the fault of the wind farm; that's the fault of the goddamn oil tankers!

We have to spend billions to upgrade the grid, to handle "Green" power sources that are more expensive than their competitors.

NYPD Cop Killer Used App to Track Police Movements Since Early December

NYPD Cop killer Ismaaiyl Brinsley was using a traffic app called Waze to track law enforcement's movements, NYC Alerts tweeted on Monday. According to an available screenshot, Brinsley was tracking two officers who were almost 4 miles away from him in Staten Island at 10:44 PM EST since the beginning of December.

Except that, as already stated, Waze doesn't track police. It only supports reporting a parked police car (or any other object/hazard). You could over time collect and analyze data from the reported police locations to determine when and where they tend to be, but that's well beyond the capability of the app alone, and still isn't even "tracking" in the sense implied in the article. The very next sentence after your quote even mentions this:

He thanks a friend of his on Instagram for pointing out the app is not "updated in real time" so it’s not that "reliable."

Voluntary, user-submitted, stationary reports in a traffic app are a far cry from realtime stalking ability. https://www.waze.com/livemap/ is a copy of the data that the app uses. The app shows when the item was reported and how many times another user verified the info (as shown in the article's screenshot), but there's essentially no detailed info in the report, as you can see. From one of the links in that article (http://www.breaking911.com/nypd-cop-killer-was-using-police-alert-app-to-track-cops/):

It is not clear whether Brinsley used the WAZE application as a police location tool for the murders or simply as the application is intended to be used.

There is no way that Waze could be used to track the two officers in the way the article implies, without another Waze user standing next to the officers making new reports as frequently as is required to meet the definition of "realtime".

Damn global warming!

Or thanks to the valiant efforts to fight it?

Waze has been around for over 6 years. If this were a legitimate concern why can he not point to a single incident of someone doing exactly this rather than merely spreading FUD?

The Koch brothers? I doubt they'd get the chance, there are plenty of people ahead of them in line.

Out of the $128 million spent by the top 10 individual donors to outside groups, Democrats hauled in $91 million or 71% of donations. ....

The libertarian Koch Brothers came in tied for the 23rd spot of largest spenders, according to the Associated Press. -- source

3rd Wave feminism is about materialism (jobs are a resource, we are fighting men for them), sexual liberation (we have sex with who we want, and if or when the kids come along, society (all men, or the guy I was seeing at the time, or the last guy I saw) pay for it), paternal monopoly (men have no right to their children, society and women have more rights than they do), and public shaming of men because they are men (many, many examples). It is a dogma of domination only a very small minority of real fools agree with.

http://www.breitbart.com/london/2014/12/04/the-sexodus-part-1-the-men-giving-up-on-women-and-checking-out-of-society/ http://www.breitbart.com/londo...

The net effect of this dogma is that upwards of 10% of men over 45 in the US are unmarried and have no children; in Japan that statistic is up to 25%. The trend is increasing 1% year over year, which means within the current 18 to 25 crowd in the US, about 30-40% of those boys in that group will never get married, and never have kids, out of choice; for Japan that statistic is going to be 45%-55% higher. Now if you look at the increasingly violent trends in fetishism in Japan and now the US, and the increase in "lad culture", the net result is eventually going to be something very, very horrific and bloody. Those roosters are starting to come home to roost; about once a month now, fetishist porn stars are ending up behind bars for maiming or killing people with drugs or various cutting tools.

If you treat men like animals, they will act like animals. And really, ever since Carrie Nation in the 1800's, that's what feminism has really been about, is about getting men not to act like a bunch of petulant children and to have some discipline and self respect.

How about we end this social equality bullshit before it does some real and permanent damage?

Soo... women having sex with lots of people leads to lots of men having no sex, which leads to them cutting people up? Who were these men having sex with before, they need to continue.

I do not give two shits about ethics in journalism, it's a pointless battle. But what I do care about is people denying the fucking obvious because it conflicts with their personal politics. Game journalism is corrupt as shit and used SJW bullshit to defend themselves - whether you think that's justified, whether you think the gamergate response of harassment and threats is the bigger story, fine I have no opinion. But denying the objective fucking truth is horseshit, and I can't believe /. stands for it.

GGers lack of self-reflection is astounding, as always. You've built a nice little conspiracy on factoids you were carefully fed by trolls and cling to it blindly. Did you care to read "logs proving collusion" from that renowned beacon of journalist ethics, Milo? Did you even care to check the fucking elementary fact of "publishing on the same day"?

Like hell you did. First Breitbart's opportunist takes a chance to shoot at "damn librul feminists bullying poor gamers" (even though he smeared those gamers in shit literally two weeks before he suddenly went all pro-Gamergate) and publishes pretty innocent e-mails while stomping his feet and screaming how unprofessional it is, and alluding to some *real* dirt which he just totally forgot to screenshot and post. GGers lap it up and "OMG COLLUSION WAS PROVEN" meme is born, even though most of the people interesting to GG weren't even on that list.

You don't even care to look at those "damning" articles, which were spread over a week right after the harassment peak, with Sarkeesian fleeing home, and opt instead for parroting "OMG SO MANY ARTICLES ON THE SAME EXACT DAY" line.

But nope, it's all the other people who deny the fucking obvious, right.

the composition and political thrust of the parties changed dramatically with the Republican southern strategy of the 60s

Let me put you some f'in knowledge.

And more.

And even more.

On top of that, how do you explain the Democrats' only really starting to lose their stranglehold on southern-state governorships and legislatures in the '90s and later?

To be perfectly honest, does anyone have statistics (recent) on the number of terrorist acts that are committed by Christians? I'd like to compare them with Islamic terrorist acts, because it seems to me that Islamic apologists need a wake-up call.

I don't know about world-wide, but in Mexico extremists in the cult of Santa Muerte are out of control.

"A recent United Nations report estimated nearly 9,000 civilians have been killed and 17,386 wounded in Iraq in 2014, more than half since ISIL fighters seized large parts on northern Iraq in June. It is likely that the group is responsible another several thousand deaths in Syria. To be sure, these numbers are staggering. But in 2013 drug cartels murdered more than 16,000 people in Mexico alone, and another 60,000 from 2006 to 2012 — a rate of more than one killing every half hour for the last seven years. What is worse, these are estimates from the Mexican government, which is known to deflate the actual death toll by about 50 percent.

Statistics alone do not convey the depravity and threat of the cartels. They carry out hundreds of beheadings every year. In addition to decapitations, the cartels are known to dismember and otherwise mutilate the corpses of their victims — displaying piles of bodies prominently in towns to terrorize the public into compliance. They routinely target women and children to further intimidate communities. Like ISIL, the cartels use social media to post graphic images of their atrocious crimes."

Immigrants generally flock to first world countries like the US in order to work hard and lead a better life

How would you know that, if the government deliberately does not maintain such statistics and explicitly tells applicants, they don't need to disclose their immigration status? They are poor (and I don't blame them) and they apply for the help, which is paid for with monies collected at gun-point (taxes). I would not have minded, if they weren't entitled to any government help — I would've even donated some money to a private charity (of the kind that helped my family 22 years ago). But I rather resent being forced to do it...

Yes, I do think it is self-evident, that a Man has a right to live anywhere he can afford and work for anyone, who'd pay him. As long as I don't have to subsidize neither his housing, nor his children's education should his choices of locale or employment be in error.

Those of us who feel we are entitled to jobs because we are the best person to do the job generally have nothing to fear from immigrants

We do, unfortunately. Arriving in too large a number, they will not dissolve in America's famous "melting pot" — as the Irish, Italian, German, or Ukrainian immigrant-waves did before them in the 20th century — but turn the rest of America to a side. Being from the poor countries, where the government is the primary source of wealth, and the Church (Catholic) — a very respected authority, they see nothing wrong with it being such here, thus pushing ever further from the small-government ideals we started with.
