The True Face Of Feminism

The most virulent and nasty feminists are the fat and ugly ones. Fat feminism has not only ruined fat acceptance it is ruining society. One of the fattest and ugliest feminists is Andrea Dworkin. She's an estrogen fueled walking yeast infection.

Here is just one of this she beast's Nazi quotes: "I want to see a man beaten to a bloody pulp with a high-heel shoved in his mouth, like an apple in the mouth of a pig." Andrea Dworkin, Ice and Fire, Weidenfeld & Nicholson, 1987

 But here is the clincher.

Scared of YOU!

Luckily for the world Dworkin ate her last hair pie in in 2005.

"Men are rapists, batterers, plunderers, killers; these same men are religious prophets, poets, heroes, figures of romance, adventure, accomplishment, figures ennobled by tragedy and defeat. Men have claimed the earth, called it "Her". Men ruin Her. Men have airplanes, guns, bombs, poisonous gases, weapons so perverse and deadly that they defy any authentically human imagination.
Andrea Dworkin, Pornography: Men Possessing Women

Unable to Remove Disqus

For many reasons I no longer what Disqus but I am unable to remove it. Can any of my readers help?

I have gone into gadgets in my dashboard but it keeps coming back.

I cannot contact this fucking criminals as they don't provide and email, phone number or a mailing address. If you can find this information please let me know.

Disqus is data thief and a privacy risk and it can damage your site.

Wrongful Executions: One in Twenty Five Americans Put to Death ARE Innocent

Not only is the death penalty barbaric but it is also unconstitutional because it is cruel and unusual punishment. Beyond that American juries are fucking stupid and elected judges and prosecutors who politicians are often corrupt.

US death row study: 4% of defendants sentenced to die are innocent! That means that 1 in 25 people who are executed in the US are INNOCENT!

Deliberately conservative figure lays bare extent of possible miscarriages of justice suggesting that the innocence of more than 200 prisoners still in the system may never be recognized.

At least 4.1% of all defendants sentenced to death in the US in the modern era are innocent, according to the first major study to attempt to calculate how often states get it wrong in their wielding of the ultimate punishment.

A team of legal experts and statisticians from Michigan and Pennsylvania used the latest statistical techniques to produce a peer-reviewed estimate of the “dark figure” that lies behind the death penalty – how many of the more than 8,000 men and women who have been put on death row since the 1970s were falsely convicted.

The team arrived at a deliberately conservative figure that lays bare the extent of possible miscarriages of justice, suggesting that the innocence of more than 200 prisoners still in the system may never be recognized.

The study concludes that were all innocent people who were given death sentences to be cleared of their offences, the exoneration rate would rise from the actual rate of those released – 1.6% – to at least 4.1%. That is equivalent in the time frame of the study, 1973 to 2004, of about 340 prisoners – a much larger group than the 138 who were exonerated in the same period.

“This is a disturbing finding,” said Samuel Gross, a law professor at the University of Michigan law school who is the lead author of the research. “There are a large number of people who are sentenced to death, and despite our best efforts some of them have undoubtedly been executed.”

The research team deployed statistical devices to put a figure on the proportion of cases of hidden innocence. In particular, they deployed a technique known as “survival analysis”, to calculate the percentage of prisoners who have been taken off death row but who might still be innocent.

They also applied “sensitivity analysis”, to take into account possible cases of exonerations where the released prisoner is nonetheless guilty, and to ensure that the overall findings erred on the side of caution.

The study, published in a prestigious journal, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, does not solve perhaps the greatest single riddle of the death penalty: how many innocent people have actually been put to death in modern times. That remains a haunting unknown.

But Gross is clear that such final and irreparable injustices have occured.

“If you look at the numbers in our study, at how many errors are made, then you cannot believe that we haven’t executed any innocent person – that would be wishful thinking.”

Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, which supplied some of the data on which the study depends, said “every time we have an execution, there is a risk of executing an innocent person. The risk may be small, but it’s unacceptable”.

The ballpark figure of at least 4.1% innocence is higher than previous studies looking at exoneration rates that had smaller sample sizes and were more restricted in their remit. It is also considerably higher than the estimate given in 2007 by the conservative US supreme court justice Antonin Scalia, who wrote that American criminal convictions generally had an “error rate of .027% – or, to put it another way, a success rate of 99.973%”.

The authors comment tartly with respect to Scalia’s skills as a statistician: “That would be comforting, if true. In fact, the claim is silly.”

The single largest group of innocent death row inmates are neither exonerated and released nor executed, the study suggests. Rather, they are left in limbo, somewhere in between those two extremes of fortune.

Gross and his co-authors estimate that 36% of all those sentenced to death between 1973 and 2004 – some 2,675 people – were taken off death row after doubts about their convictions were raised. But they were then put on new sentences, usually life without parole, that mean they will almost certainly die in prison.

The study concludes chillingly that “the great majority of innocent defendants who are convicted of capital murder in the United States are neither executed nor exonerated. They are sentenced, or resentenced to prison for life, and then forgotten”.

Gross said that this explains the 200 or so missing people highlighted by his study – men and women who are innocent and yet have not been exonerated. In most cases, they have probably been moved off death row.

Because they are no longer under the threat of execution, they are no longer treated as priorities within the criminal justice system. They can no longer draw upon the help of experienced legal teams, and they may not be entitled to appeals. As a result, their chances of clearing their names plummet.

“The best efforts of the judicial system are only devoted to prisoners when they face execution,” Gross said. “In many cases when people are released from death row, little or nothing is done to deal with the equally bad injustice they now face – that they will spend the rest of their lives in prison for a crime they didn’t commit.”

Disqus Can Damage Your Blog

In addition to unethical data mining Disqus can damage your site. I recently removed Disqus do their censorship and corporate sleaziness but after a little more research I found that Disqus can damage websites.

Privacy is a big issue for me. I want my readers safe from the prying eyes of corporate slime and NSA turds so I removed Disqus. I also noticed that when I do privacy sweeps on my computer I have less positives for invasive malware since removing Disqus.

If you value your privacy and unfettered speech remove Disqus and unsubscribe.

Premier internet writer Gary Korisko explains why he pulled the plug on Disqus and after you read his article and study you would be wise to do the same. Here is some of what he wrote.

Is Disqus Killing Your Blog? Why (and How) I Pulled the Plug

by gary korisko 269 comments

I recently made the decision to remove the Disqus comment system from my blog.

And it wasn’t a knee-jerk reaction.

I did quite a bit of research first and got a lot of feedback (both solicited and unsolicited) from others.

In this post, I’m going to walk you through my experiences with Disqus as a blog owner, my readers’ experiences with it, and the advantages and disadvantages of Disqus.

We’ll  also cover how it could affect you in your online efforts.

Why I Hated to See Disqus Comments Go

I loved Disqus. From the standpoint of a blog owner, I have nothing but good to say about the back end and functionality of Disqus.

I loved all the configuration options, their way of threading comments, and especially the functional and attractive emailing system.

They have various options available for managing, moderating, and changing the appearance of comments.

I was a Disqus lover.

From the place where I stood, all was well.

But all wasn’t well.

When the Feedback Started Rolling In

One of the great things about my audience is they regularly communicate with me. I hear from readers consistently through social media, email, and in my comments.

From time to time, I hear complaints about certain things. And I really do consider them all. But at the same time, complaints can occasionally represent a tiny percentage of a group – and sometimes they represent a majority.

So when complaints arise, you have to take them seriously and weigh them in terms of how they affect the majority of your audience. For the most part, I had very few people complain about Disqus to me – so I assumed only a few subscribers disliked it.

But then, a comment thread in one of my posts turned to a discussion of Disqus. The results made me begin to think more people than I realized were unhappy with it and just weren’t speaking up. So I asked for feedback – and man did I get it.

Here’s just a small sample of the public feedback I received during that time…

That’s from Mary Jaksch, a friend of mine from A-List Blogging. An ally. And yet she was frustrated enough to publicly comment on my post about how much she disliked using Disqus. She also let me know how she felt about it (in no uncertain terms) in private conversations, too.

The bottom line is, the only reason Mary used Disqus on my blog is because she wanted to support posts she enjoyed that were written by a friend. Regardless of how much she liked the post, if we hadn’t been friends, she wouldn’t have bothered.

Here’s a comment from one of my subscribers in a comment thread in which I asked for feedback about Disqus. I did a quick search through my comments – and I couldn’t find any prior comments from her.

But she felt is was important enough to break her normal Disqus rule and weigh in on this discussion. I’m glad she did.

Gee, I wonder how Sophie really feels? (A question no one has asked… ever.)

That from another person I really respect, my friend Sophie Lizard of Be a Freelance Blogger. In addition to being a friend, Sophie is one of the brightest people I know, so when something annoys her enough to leave a comment like that, I listen.

And finally…

This tweet was posted the same day as Sophie’s comment, and it put me over the top. It was the last straw.

Here’s someone who really connected with my post who tried to comment but got frustrated and gave up. Thankfully, they went to the trouble to tweet my post and voice their support anyway.
(Thank you @SkinnyBudgetMkt!)

Something was going on, and it wasn’t something good. It made me wonder how many of my other readers felt the same way, and as a result weren’t bothering to comment on my posts.

Think of all the missed interactions and all the potentially awesome conversations that may have never happened.

I still didn’t understand why people didn’t like Disqus.

But then it hit me. We preach it all the time…

It’s not about you. It’s about the audience.

As much as I pride myself on being in touch with my audience, I clearly wasn’t in this case – which is unacceptable. It’s my responsibility to make sure I’m on top of things that affect the audience experience.

Why (at least some of) My Readers Hated Disqus

Not only did I like using Disqus on my blog, but I enjoyed using it as a visitor on other blogs as well. It was easy to use. I couldn’t wrap my mind around this quiet but verifiable dislike of Disqus.

So I went back to many of those people who had sent me feedback and asked them what they didn’t like about it. Here were the three most common answers.

1: It’s a hassle to sign in.
Some of them don’t like having to sign in with Twitter or Facebook or Gravitar or any other service. They reported to me they’d rather just type in their information in the normal WordPress comments.

2: It’s a privacy issue.
Some felt by using social networks to log in, their privacy was being compromised and they might be allowing potentially bad-intentioned strangers access to their profiles.

3: It’s difficult to manage multiple identities.
Some people have multiple online projects or identities. For instance, let’s say I have this blog – plus a side business selling artwork online. The argument is that if I want to be able to choose which identity I want represented by my comment on your blog, I have to log in differently. In WordPress comments, there’s no login. You just type in your information.

Interesting. At least it was to me. Because I personally didn’t understand most of these objections.

The way I saw it…

Hassle:
I never considered this. To me logging in is easy and fast. I’m used to it.

Privacy:
I don’t mind online services knowing my social networking information. In fact, I go to great lengths to spread that around. And the risk of a reputable service like Disqus commandeering my social media accounts wasn’t a concern to me.

Multiple Identities:
Now this one made sense to me. It wasn’t something I personally had to deal with, but in this case, Disqus would most certainly be a hassle to use when compared to WordPress comments.

But you know what? Whether I agree or disagree with their reasons, my readers’ opinions matter more than mine. You all need to be able to feel comfortable here and interact with the content.

The audience had spoken. The decision was made.

I backed up my existing comments to WordPress and deactivated Disqus.

What I Did After Disqus Went Dark

Instead of boring you with all the different comment systems available out there, I’m just going to tell you what I decided to use.

I ultimately went with the system that would split the difference between back-end ease for me – and ease of use for my audience. I chose to use the native WordPress comment system plus the free version of theCommentLuv plugin.

The feature most people like about CommentLuv is also the most criticized feature. It’s the fact that readers leaving comments get links back to their latest post.

On the upside, this feature encourages more traffic and activity on your posts. On the downside, many argue that it encourages spammy comments.

Additionally, some people feel the free version of CommentLuv is so feature-poor compared to CommentLuv Pro ($67, $87, or $97 depending on the license) that it’s not worth using.

If you take a good look at the features of CommentLuv Pro, you’ll notice many of the really useful features come from other plugins.

After a bit of research, I found I could grab most of those plugins (at least the ones I was interested in using) for free – without having to use CommentLuv Pro.

Sure, I’m missing out on some of the other features. But then again, I don’t really want or need those features. Someday, if I decide I need them, I’ll go buy Pro. Untill then, I think I’ve struck a nice balance. Here are the plugins I’ve installed to support the free version of CommentLuv.

How to Use Free Plugins to Enhance CommentLuv

Here’s the configuration I’m currently using here on Reboot Authentic:

The free version of CommentLuv allows you to reward commenters by providing a link back to their most recent blog post.

The Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin (G.A.S.P.) helps keep automated spambots at bay. Prior to this comment system change, I had always used Akismet. You can find information applauding or cursing either. I’m currently using them together with no negative repercussions. Give it a try.

Subscribe to Comments Reloaded allows your readers to subscribe to a comment thread. This is one of the functions I liked about Disqus and didn’t want to lose. This one isn’t as impressive as the way Disqus does it in my opinion, but it’s easy, functional, and gets the job done.

Dofollow allows you to remove the nofollow attribute from your comments. This means your readers who post comments not only have a chance of people clicking through to their post, but they’ll also get some link juice (credit for being linked to) out of it. It’s just s nice thing to do to help out your active commentators.

You can find a list of the other plugins on the CommentLuv Pro page and decide for yourself which features you’d like in your comments.

So far, my configuration is working pretty well for me.

No Doubt About it: VACCINES CAUSE AUTISM!

Fact: The US, in spite of spending 3 times the world average on health care is ranked 38th for health care quality by the World Health Organization which makes in the worst in the industrialized world. Conversely Italy is ranked 2nd for health care quality and the Italians spend less than 1/2 of what the US spends so it comes as no surprise that Italian health experts have proven beyond any reasonable doubt that vaccines cause autism!

Who are you going to trust to tell you the truth a country with a corporate run money grubbing health care system or the Italians that have no dog in the fight?

PROOF:

On September 23, 2014, an Italian court in Milan awarded compensation to a boy for vaccine-induced autism. (See the Italian document here.) A childhood vaccine against six childhood diseases caused the boy’s permanent autism and brain damage.

While the Italian press has devoted considerable attention to this decision and its public health implications, the U.S. press has been silent.

Italy’s National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program

Like the U.S., Italy has a national vaccine injury compensation program to give some financial support to those people who are injured by compulsory and recommended vaccinations. The Italian infant plaintiff received three doses of GlaxoSmithKline’s Infanrix Hexa, a hexavalent vaccine administered in the first year of life. These doses occurred from March to October 2006. The vaccine is to protect children from polio, diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis B, pertussis and Haemophilus influenza type B. In addition to these antigens, however, the vaccine then contained thimerosal, the mercury-containing preservative, aluminum, an adjuvant, as well as other toxic ingredients. The child regressed into autism shortly after receiving the three doses.

When the parents presented their claim for compensation first to the Ministry of Health, as they were required to do, the Ministry rejected it. Therefore, the family sued the Ministry in a court of general jurisdiction, an option which does not exist in the same form in the U.S.

Court Decision: Mercury and Aluminum in Vaccine Caused Autism

Based on expert medical testimony, the court concluded that the child more likely than not suffered autism and brain damage because of the neurotoxic mercury, aluminum and his particular susceptibility from a genetic mutation. The Court also noted that Infanrix Hexa contained thimerosal, now banned in Italy because of its neurotoxicity, “in concentrations greatly exceeding the maximum recommended levels for infants weighing only a few kilograms.”

Presiding Judge Nicola Di Leo considered another piece of damning evidence: a 1271-page confidential GlaxoSmithKline report (now available on the Internet). This industry document provided ample evidence of adverse events from the vaccine, including five known cases of autism resulting from the vaccine’s administration during its clinical trials (see table at page 626, excerpt below).

Italian Government, Not Vaccine Maker, Pays for Vaccine Damages

As in many other developed countries, government, not industry, compensates families in the event of vaccine injury. Thus GSK’s apparent lack of concern for the vaccine’s adverse effects is notable and perhaps not surprising.

In the final assessment, the report states that:

“[t]he benefit/risk profile of Infanrix hexa continues to be favourable,” despite GSK’s acknowledgement that the vaccine causes side effects including “anaemia haemolytic autoimmune,thrombocytopenia, thrombocytopenic purpura, autoimmune thrombocytopenia, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, haemolytic anemia, cyanosis, injection site nodule, abcess and injection site abscess, Kawasaki’s disease, important neurological events (including encephalitis and encephalopathy), Henoch-Schonlein purpura, petechiae, purpura, haematochezia, allergic reactions (including anaphylactic and anaphylactoid reactions),” and death (see page 9).

The Milan decision is sober, informed and well-reasoned. The Ministry of Health has stated that it has appealed the Court’s decision, but that appeal will likely take several years, and its outcome is uncertain.

Rimini: 2012 – Italian Court Rules MMR Vaccine Caused Autism

Two years earlier, on May 23, 2012, Judge Lucio Ardigo of an Italian court in Rimini presided over a similar judgment, finding that a different vaccine, the Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccine (MMR), had caused a child’s autism. As in the Milan case, the Ministry of Health’s compensation program had denied compensation to the family, yet after a presentation of medical evidence, a court granted compensation. There, too, the Italian press covered the story; the U.S. press did not.

In that case, a 15-month old boy received his MMR vaccine on March 26, 2004. He then immediately developed bowel and eating problems and received an autism diagnosis with cognitive delay within a year. The court found that the boy had “been damaged by irreversible complications due to vaccination (with trivalent MMR).” The decision flew in the face of the conventional mainstream medical wisdom that an MMR-autism link has been “debunked.”

Italian Court Decisions Break New Ground in Debate Over Vaccines and Autism

Both these Italian court decisions break new ground in the roiling debate over vaccines and autism. These courts, like all courts, are intended to function as impartial, unbiased decision makers.

The courts’ decisions are striking because they not only find a vaccine-autism causal link, but they also overrule the decisions of Italy’s Ministry of Health. And taken together, the court decisions found that both the MMR and a hexavalent thimerosal- and aluminum-containing vaccine can trigger autism.

Italian Court Rulings Contradict Special U.S. Vaccine Court

These court decisions flatly contradict the decisions from the so-called U.S. vaccine court, the Court of Federal Claim’s Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. There, from 2007 to 2010, in the Omnibus Autism Proceeding, three decision makers, called Special Masters, found that vaccines did not cause autism in any of the six test cases, and one Special Master even went so far as to compare the theory of vaccine-induced autism to Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland.

The Italian court decisions contrast starkly with these U.S. cases based on similar claims.
