Tim Hunt, Ellen Pao And The Reddit Debacle

A Letter to New Scientist
Ellen Pao (seated) at the offices of Reddit – formerly

By MRA-UK: The final straw was the New Scientist article by Soraya Chemaly, “The anti-social network” (25 July 2015) referring to Ellen Pao’s resignation from Reddit. The sub-title conveys the tenor of the piece: “The gender gap in the tech industry and on line attacks on women are inextricably linked“. I will leave aside that I find this assertion exceedingly improbable (one reason being that on line “attacks” on men are equally common). The salient points are these. Firstly, the article has nothing whatsoever to do with gender balance in technical fields. So how could it possibly be used to support the assertion? Moreover, on-line trolling was not a causal factor in Ellen Pao’s departure from Reddit in any case.
It would have been better by far if New Scientist had stayed out of the fetid world of gender politics. It seems New Scientist are determined to continue with this editorial policy. Essentially similar articles on Ellen Pao’s resignation from Reddit have appeared in the Guardian and The New Statesman. But with these august journals one knows what to expect. In contrast, it is surely incumbent upon New Scientist, if it must enter the gender political arena, to be objective, logical and unbiased. This article fails on all counts.

Israeli Diplomat: Maintaining German Guilt About The Faux Holocaust Helps Israel

Reported by Gilad Atzmon: Haaretz reported recently that a spokeswoman for the Israeli embassy in Berlin told Israeli journalists it was ‘in the country’s interest to maintain German guilt about the Holocaust, and that it isn’t seeking full normalization of relations between the governments.’ 
Embassy spokeswoman Adi Farjon made the comments in a closed briefing session with Israeli journalists at the embassy.
The Israeli ambassador, Yakov Hadas-Handelsman, was present for some of the briefing, as were other embassy workers who don’t speak Hebrew. One journalist commented, “It was so awkward. We couldn’t believe our ears. We’re sitting there eating peanuts, and behind the spokeswoman there are two German women sitting there who don’t understand a word of Hebrew – and the embassy staff is telling us they’re working to preserve the German guilt feelings and that Israel has no interest in normalization of relations between the two countries.”
Talking to Haaretz, Farjon made the usual distinction between Jews and ‘goyim.’  “It was an off-the-record conversation, a briefing talk. The way I speak with Israeli journalists is a little different. These things aren’t intended to get out.”

Palestinian Toddler Burned To Death In Suspected Jewish ‘Price Tag’ Attack

By Gilad Atzmon: A suspected “price tag,” or retaliation, arson attack by right-wing Jewish settlers killed an 18-month-old Palestinian child in a house in the occupied West Bank and injured several other people, according to Israeli police.
The toddler died in a house fire which broke out in a village of Kafr Duma near the West Bank city of Nablus, Reuters reports.

The victim’s four-year-old brother and both parents were also injured and have been brought to the hospital. The attack took place in the early hours of the morning when the family was fast asleep and could not react immediately.

The Making Of Gynocentric Soldiers + The Mask BS

Psychologist's assessment of the male sex role has missed a very critical element, gynocentrism. We are all impacted by the mighty power of gynocentrism and its push for the safety and provision for women and the related sacrifice of men to make that happen. This push starts early for boys where they are taught to put their own needs second. This video has a look at that process and its impact. Men Are Good!

Revolving Door On Steroids - Bank Of England Policymaker Allowed To Retain Financial Interest In Hedge Fund

By Michael Krieger: Can’t a guy enjoy a beautiful Friday in Colorado without being bombarded with another gigantic oligarch scam? I guess not.
Today’s article takes the revolving door theme to a whole other level. It even puts the recent revelation that law firm Covington and Burlington kept an office empty for Eric Holder while he was head of the Department of Justice to shame. You can’t make this stuff up.
From Reuters: 
New Bank of England policymaker Gertjan Vlieghe will retain a financial interest in one of the world’s biggest hedge fund firms while he sets interest rates, an arrangement that Britain’s finance ministry said posed no conflict of interest.

Some economists privately expressed surprise when the ministry said on Tuesday that Vlieghe, who joins the Monetary Policy Committee on Sept. 1, would still receive income from his current employer, Brevan Howard, whose traders bet on rate moves.

On Wednesday, people with knowledge of the arrangement said Vlieghe would retain an interest in a Brevan Howard vehicle that pays long-term incentive payments.

History Is Repeating - German Government Launches Investigation Of Journalists For Treason

If it were up to the Federal Attorney General and the President of the German Domestic Security Agency, two of our reporters would soon be in prison for at least two years. Today, we were officially informed about investigations against our Markus Beckedahl, Andre Meister and an unknown“ party. The accusation: Treason.
– From Netzpolitik.org:  Suspicion of Treason“: Federal Attorney General Announces Investigation Against Us In Addition To Our Sources
By Michael Krieger: Widespread outrage across Germany is erupting following the revelation that the nation’s Attorney General has launched an investigation into treason charges for two journalists working for Netzpolitik.
The charge is treason. The crime is journalism.
We learn from the Guardian that:

Germany has opened a treason investigation into a news website a broadcaster said had reported on plans to increase state surveillance of online communications.
German media said it was the first time in more than 50 years journalists had faced treason charges, and some denounced the move as an attack on the freedom of the press.

Non-Therapeutic Circumcision [Ritual Genital Mutilation] Of Male Minors - Our Letters To Jewish And Muslim Clerics And Organizations And A Response From Milah UK

By Mike Buchanan: We’re stepping up our efforts to have non-therapeutic circumcision of male minors in the UK declared illegal, and this will be our #1 campaigning issue for the foreseeable future. We recently publicly challenged Alison Saunders and Theresa May MP on the matter.
A few days ago we emailed letters to leading Jewish and Muslim clerics, organizations, and newspapers. The one we sent to Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis is here, and the (very similar) one we sent to Dr Omar El-Hamdoon (President, Muslim Association of Britain) is here.
We’ve just received our first response, from an organization we didn’t write to. It’s a letter signed by the Co-Chairmen of Milah UK, Prof. David Katz and Dr. Simon Hochhauser. They describe the organization in the following terms:
Milah UK is the campaign group set up by the organizations of the Jewish community in the UK to promote and protect the right of the Jewish community to carry out religious circumcisions in accordance with our religious beliefs.
The letter is here, and it’s been posted here with the kind permission of the organization. Our response is here, and it ends with the following: 
Your lack of humanity towards male minors only reinforces our determination to have non-therapeutic circumcision of male minors declared illegal in the UK, so that future generations of Jewish men and boys will not have to suffer as their predecessors have.

Female Frankfurters Have Wide Pink Parking Spaces (No, That’s Not A Euphemism)

By David Raven: A radical feminist German airport sparked a huge sexism row by painting' women's only' car parking spaces pink with wider bays. The designated spots have brighter lighting, are closer to the terminal at Frankfurt Airport and have been designed to make it easier for females to park their cars.
But furious women slammed the move as reinforcing 'sexist' feminist stereotypes.

Geraldine Herbert, editor of Wheels for Women magazine told The Local: "It's very patronising for women to be singled out in this way.
"All this does is reinforce the statistical stereotype that women are bad at parking.'
Airport bosses defended the move, saying they are required by law to dedicate at least five per cent of public car parking spaces to women.
These 'sexist feminist' areas have been painted pink, have wider parking bays with brighter lightning, more CCTV coverage and are closer to the terminals.
A Frankfurt Airport spokesperson said: ""It's up to the female drivers themselves whether or not they use these spaces.
