Truth, Justice & Northrup Grumman
Four genocides are happening right now:
Palestine/Gaza
Sudan
Congo
Tigra
Last 3 are in Africa so no mainstream news coverage.
US is funding the 1st one because of Zionism (Israel).
There is a 3 front war coming due to US presidential election being next November: Palestine (siding with Israel, Russia (siding with Ukraine), Iran (siding with Israel vs Iran & Palestine).
Biden is asking for $100 billion -- $60 billion for Israel & $40 billion for Ukraine.
He refuses to say how long the US engagements in Israel & Ukraine would be or to give any kind of timetable yet he is demanding 100 billion US dollars fund the genocide in Palestine & the war in Ukraine.
Biden is already openly threatening Iran using very bellicose statements that they had better stay out of Palestine and essentially doing everything he can to start WW3.
Biden is already making an argument that wars in Palestine & Ukraine are good for the US economy in trying to get Congress to approve the $100 billion in aid to Israel & Ukraine.
He claimed that US weapons manufacturing plants that make the weapons in the Israeli and Ukrainian conflicts would be responsible for creating 15k+ US jobs.
It is the Iraq War all over again.
Trumped up, contrived, fake as fuck, only happening to prop up sagging presidential approval ratings, to assure reelection & to drum up jingoism, nationalism & virulent blind patriotism that leads to nihilistic militarism, warmongering, national bloodlust & endless empire building on the corpses of young men, some idealistic, many black brown & poor, endlessly exploited by the capitalist war machine.
Ads to Be All You Can Be while Uncle Sam pays for college education that should be free when student loans literally just went back into repayment will coincide nicely with the aggressive push for WW3.
American jobs. American corpses. American mothers weeping for their dead sons.
Caskets draped in US flags for 21 year old boys.
18 year olds dying in a country they've never visited for no fucking reason.

So, It's Been a Year, I Guess
[ID: The blue, pink, and white trans flag layered on a snowy forest scene with the caption "If you want me dead, fucking kill me yourself" laid over it in bold block letters]
The Book of Faces informed me, today, that a year ago, I made this.
Kill Me Yourself was made with anger, defiance, and hope. Hope that things would not continue to degrade for trans people. But here I sit at my computer, a year later, and things are worse than I could have possibly imagined.
I didn't think multiple states would ban youth transition, I didn't think that Donald Trump would come roaring back promising to ban it nationwide, for everyone, and I didn't think that cis people would sit by completely fine with all this.
Well, honestly I did, but I didn't think that this would happen so fucking fast. It's social blitzkrieg. Fascists realized that if they move quickly they can overwhelm the courts and the general public, and very little resistance will actually occur. And so here we are.
I've been planning this post for a little while, but I really don't know what I have to say with it. I'm still here. I'm still alive. But many of my friends aren't. I just lost a friend last week. I lost one just months before I made this piece. How many more will I lose in the next year?
I hope none. But I know that wishes count for very little these days.
I love you. The trans person reading this. I love you, and I love us. We will fight, we will endure. They cannot kill us in a way that matters.
And yet every one that they kill matters so, so much.
-Ivy, 2/23/23

Friday, September 30: Bruce Dickinson, “Armchair Hero”
Nobody knew what to make of Skunkworks, with most paying much more attention to Bruce Dickinson’s haircut and the notion that he had gone grunge than the actual songs. Bruce himself retrospectively looked at the project with a sense of detachment, though that may have just as much been him absorbing the commentary and disastrous commercial performance. But the record found the singer in a particular creative zone, clearly excited to collaborate with his bandmates and lock into a new sound. And despite all the naysaying from the naysayers (most of whom didn’t bother listening to the album), most of these songs cooked, bursting with energy, hooks and great choruses. Even the B-sides sizzled with inspiration, with Dickinson fully engaged with the material and sounding great. “Armchair Hero” was perhaps directed at the critics, since it was recorded after the initial Skunkworks sessions and seemed to be about people chained to their computers, but some of the lyrics may have also been about the naivete of youth. Either way, Alex Dickson’s guitar surged with rock and roll enthusiasm, while Alessandro Elena drummed with vigor and a clear eye on the beat. It was a fun, charging hard rock track, maybe not very metal but certainly hard and heavy in its way.

Skunkworks anon - I'm interested in any current information you have regarding Skunkworks' current operations as well as any resources/information available about Lockheed's involvement with programming. I don't know how far back it goes, or the most 'prominent' examples, so ANY information you can offer to point me in my own research direction is extremely appreciated!
Here are few from Lockheed. They often contract through universities and other institutions for their work. For example: Lockheed Martin-Loma Linda University is conducting the first large-scale tests of a toxic drinking water contaminant on human subjects -- a precedent medical researchers and Environmental Working Group condemned as morally unethical and scientifically invalid.
Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Laboratories (ATL) I suggest starting your search there.
Customers include U.S. government service laboratories and the U.S. armed forces, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) to maintain technology dominance.
Evaluating Training with Cognitive State Sensing Technology
Five different training techniques (classroom, video, game-based, computer-based, and simulator) were compared using neurophysiological measurements. The best performance was displayed by individuals in the classroom and video conditions. These participants also displayed the lowest levels of cognitive workload and the highest levels of engagement. The poorest performance on the training was exhibited by individuals in the computer-based and game conditions. These participants also displayed the highest levels of cognitive workload, the lowest levels of engagement, and computer-based had the highest levels of drowsiness. As expected, the testing phases of the training had the highest levels of workload. In general, engagement dropped and distraction increased during the training phase when the material was first presented to participants. However, participants who could keep engagement high during this period performed better. This suggests that mental state monitoring during training could help provide a mechanism for alleviating distraction and inattention and boost training efficacy.
Experimentation: Creating an Active, Collaborating Community of Practice (COP) Background: Workshop Purpose and Goal. * Workshop Purpose: Provide a forum for discussing approaches to warfighting experimentation; Provide an opportunity for military and civilian operations research analysts to examine topics, methodologies, analyses, and innovations pertinent to all aspects of designing, executing, analyzing, and reporting joint warfighting experiments. * Workshop Goal: The goal of the 1999 Joint Experimentation Workshop was to develop an experimentation process; Using the results of the 1999 Workshop and the two published Codes of Best Practice for Experimentation, the goal of this workshop is to determine how to apply analytical rigor across the process
The Advanced Embedded Training System (AETS): An Intelligent Embedded Tutoring System for Tactical Team Training
The Advanced Embedded Training System (AETS) applies intelligent tutoring systems technology to improving tactical training quality and reducing manpower needs in simulation-based shipboard team training. AETS provides layers of performance assessment, cognitive diagnosis, and team-training support on top of the existing embedded mission simulation capability in the Navy's Aegis-class ships. Detailed cognitive models of trainee task performance are used to drive the assessment, diagnosis and instructional functions of the system. AETS' goal is not to replace human instructors, but to allow one instructor to perform the work of several, and in a more consistent and efficient manner than possible today.
Interactive learning using manifold geometry
We present an interactive learning method that enables a user to iteratively refine a regression model. The user examines the output of the model, visualized as the vertical axis of a 2D scatterplot, and provides corrections by repositioning individual data instances to the correct output level. Each repositioned data instance acts as a control point for altering the learned model, using the geometry underlying the data. We capture the underlying structure of the data as a manifold, on which we compute a set of basis functions as the foundation for learning. Our results show that manifold-based interactive learning improves performance monotonically with each correction, outperforming alternative approaches.
Skunk Works does the building of the technology and it is tested elsewhere. For a majority of classified testing is thought to be conducted at the Nevada Test Site.

Music Video Countdown to Bruce Dickinson's The Mandrake Project:
Inertia — 1996
dir. Bruce Dickinson
"The song's about the trip that we did to Sarajevo in the war, when we did the gig. It was the same band that filmed the vids was the band that drove into Sarajevo in the middle of it, in 1994 in the winter, and it made quite a profound impression on everybody. Inertia is obviously the resistance to movement, and the resistance to movement in this case is the resistance to change from the warring factions. Just letting history just endlessly kill everybody. 'We'll kill you because 600 years ago, somebody killed somebody else.' So Inertia was about that."
