Don't forget about this similar incident in Japan the same year. A pattern presents itself.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toho_strikes

At 9:30 on the morning of August 19 a district police chief arrived at the front gate to read out the court decision. Two thousand policemen surrounded the studio, reinforced by a platoon of soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Division, three scout planes, and six armored cars and five tanks sent by the U.S. Eighth Army. The New York Times reported that the American soldiers had arrived in response to a "call for a show of force" by Japanese authorities. However, the incident was initiated by the Eighth Army, which claimed Americans living in the vicinity were in danger and pressed for intervention by the Tokyo Military Government Team, which in turn instructed Toho to request police action. After 10:40, the union leaders agreed to end their occupation on the condition the union was not disbanded, and led a procession out of the rear gate, waving red flags and banners, and singing The Internationale.

A comparison with the March of Return is quite the contradiction if anyone merely scratches the surface here.

The group of people attacked in Boulder were participating in an event for Run for Their Lives, which advocates for the release of hostages held in Gaza after 7 October 2023.

The name of this event is a psyop itself. Imagine thinking that is a good name to use to advocate for ONLY the release of hostages while zionazis are literally doing daily genocidal attacks on civilians.

I thought the Ukr Forces were the storm troopers? That's what all their merch was depicting last I checked.

While the availability of consumer goods is seen as a giant success story by most historians of the present, the perception at the time was a different one: prices were so high that average people could not afford to shop, especially since prices were free-ranging but wages still fixed by law. Therefore, in the summer of 1948 a giant wave of strikes and demonstrations swept over West Germany, leading to an incident in Stuttgart where strikers were met by US tanks ("Stuttgarter Vorfälle"). Only after the wage-freeze was abandoned, Deutschmark and free-ranging prices were accepted by the population.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Mark#Currency_reform_of_June_1948

The Western powers unilateral currency reform is what caused the partition of Germany beyond the existing 4 Allied Zones. This is often glossed over in any pro-NATO historical analysis. This is essentially the first act of the Cold War from the Western powers. The UK zone started it, and was quickly joined by the other 2 Western Zones (US, France).

This is a warning about what could happen, we better consider maybe doing something at some indeterminate point in the future.

The event was hosted by explicitly Zionist organization: American Jewish Committee

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Jewish_Committee

Before the Six-Day War in 1967, the AJC was officially "non-Zionist". It had long been ambivalent about Zionism as possibly opening up Jews to the charge of dual loyalty, but it supported the creation of Israel in 1947–48, after the United States backed the partition of Palestine. It was the first American Jewish organization to open a permanent office in Israel.

In the 1970s, the AJC spearheaded the fight to pass anti-boycott legislation to counter the Arab League boycott of Israel.

A 2007 essay, "Progressive Jewish Thought and the New Anti-Semitism" by professor Alvin H. Rosenfeld, published on the AJC website, criticized Jewish critics of Israel by name, particularly the editors and contributors to Wrestling With Zion: Progressive Jewish-American Responses to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (Grove Press), a 2003 collection of essays edited by Tony Kushner and Alisa Solomon. The essay accused these writers of participating in an "onslaught against Zionism and the Jewish State," which he considered a veiled form of supporting a rise in antisemitism.

Some of the considerations are for fear of serious harm to the benefit of minors or future children in the family, due to the possibility of being labeled as bstrds that will cause damage to their fitness to marry in Israel according to Jewish law. There may be harmful consequences in the religious law of other religions as well. In addition, there is a need for a process that ensures informed consent to the test on the part of all subjects, and admissibility of the results in a relevant legal proceeding (alimony, inheritance, etc.). Therefore, It is prohibited to market in Israel kits intended for genetic self-examination - in any medical matter, as well as for testing family ties.

This means that any services to inspect familial ties based on DNA are unlicensed in Israel and may be deemed illegal and carry penalties.

When the law was enacted in 2000, there were no tests to find ancestry similar to what we have today. The law was made to address familial ties.

One parallel that I haven't noticed anyone talking about is the history of textiles. In Andor the Ghorman are described as making the best textiles in the galaxy. Palestine has also shared a historical relevance related to fine textile work. The term gauze is likely of etymological origin with Gaza (this is debated but seems fairly solid). The link below is about historical practices of embroidery and bead work in Palestinian clothing.

Seems like an interesting correlation.

That looks really imperial. You should change.

So I've started to see what is seemingly Gen AI slop being labeled with an artist's name as some sort of slight of hand or less likely the name of the artist that generated it. I came across one name in particular a few times now, but I'm not sure the 'human artist' even exists.

Anyone else noticed this kind of thing? When I did a bit of searching around, all the references were other people sharing the 'art' of this 'digital painter' or 'digital artist'. There's even a short bio that has been reused across many sites like pinterest, facebook, instagram, etc.

But if you search before 2020, there's much less results. The most legit looking page indicated the 'autodidactic' artist first started putting out works in ~2017, which just happens to correspond to when the first art gen AI was made publicly available.

I'm guessing this is happening at significant scale across different creative domains. I've come across albums on youtube that are also gen AI, but do a pretty good job obfuscating it. At least in that case it did eventually lead to an admission if you dug a bit into the label/artist. This one I'm thinking of also was posing as a 'band' from like 50 years ago, like this was some cool music that had been found and republished.

It's just gonna keep getting worse I guess, that seems to be the trajectory here. Is there a crypto verification scheme proposed already as the solution to this?

This is from 2 years ago, but I haven't heard much about any other stuff like this yet.
