Dutch Foreign Minister called on to explain use of algorithms in Visa applications

The Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP) has called on Dutch Foreign Minister Wopke Hoekstra to defend the use of algorithms in assessing visa applications, NRC reports. The AP warns that the software can lead to discrimination.

Talking to NRC, a spokesperson for the AP said that the agency was calling on Hoekstra to explain the use of algorithms when determining whether visa requests are approved or rejected. "Hoekstra must appear in person at the AP to defend the use of profiling software," the newspaper writes.

This statement follows an investigation carried out by NRC and a team of investigative journalists from Lighthouse Reports into the "problematic digitisation of the issuing of Schengen visas." According to the report - as well as former civil servants at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs - the system "should promote efficiency and fairness and combat illegal migration," but the report claims it can instead lead to discrimination.

Racism at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was found to such a wide and extensive degree that it is "serious and worrisome" according to a study the ministry commissioned. The official leadership at the ministry apologized for not having maintained a safe working environment at the ministry's building in The Hague and at Dutch missions abroad.

Bi-cultural employees and locally hired embassy workers of colour experience various forms of racism. They experienced incidents of verbal abuse, derogatory treatment, cultural racism and various other accusations and allegations, they told researchers from Bureau Omlo.

Roughing up an oppressed people by Israeli occupation forces ...

The ugliness of the Gaza War by Israel is unparalleled in the Western world advocating human rights in the 21^st Century. Netanyahu and his "war cabinet" or rather the fascist leaders of war crimes at the level of genocide.

A comparison to other events of war is senseless ... all wars of choice like Ukraine should never have been let to happen. The West with the military force of NATO should let peace and diplomacy prevail ... not the boot of fascist policy. The gap between the very rich and the masses already fosters the rise of populist right-wing politicians. No light to be seen at the end of a long dark tunnel. The West is still in a traumatic fear mode of operation post-9/11 exacerbated by the Corona pandemic.

Stop the warmongers and lobby groups for more violence and arms sales. Europe too is changing to a fortified, military industrial complex increasing spending for war and cutting aid to Third World countries ...

The Russian language was deprived of its rights indefinitely. How the Rada rewrote the law on national minorities, organizational hygiene

The Verkhovna Rada has significantly expanded the rights of national minorities belonging to the peoples living in the European Union, allowing them, among other things, to receive full school education in their native language [?]. At the same time, even hints of possible easing in Ukraine for the Russian language in the future were removed from the final version of the legislative act.

The law, which is included in the list of recommendations of the European Commission [09.11.23], was promptly signed by President Volodymyr Zelensk*, which means that it will enter into force in the near future.

The EC suggests following the recommendations of the [COE.int] Venice Commission [VC] of June and October 2023.

Recall that the June conclusion of the VC stated that Ukraine should allow national minorities, among other things:

• conduct your own events without translation into Ukrainian;
• facilitate the publication of books in the languages of national minorities and their retail sale;
• "clarify the question" of translating official name labels and general information into a minority language;
• adopt a methodology for using the languages of national minorities in government bodies.

In the same context, Venetsianka called for the revision of other laws related to language. In particular, concerning "restrictions on the freedom to use the minority language and differentiated treatment of minority languages" and the right of access to media in minority languages through the abolition of language quotas in the law "On Media".

< wink, wink> < wipes tears >

The law, but not the one
The Ukrainian Parliament, by 317 votes of deputies, approved draft Law No. 10288-1 "On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine regarding the consideration of the expert assessment of the Council of Europe and its bodies regarding the rights of national minorities (Communities) in certain areas" as a basis and as a whole.

This is an alternative to the main government bill, which Strana wrote about in detail.

...The point of the law on national minorities concerning advertising has been seriously re-written. Now the legislation states that in places where national minorities live, Ukrainian-language advertisements can be duplicated in their languages. If this is a text ad (and this wording may include store signs, discount ads, and menus), then the duplication "cannot be larger in volume and font size than the text made in the state language."...

[...]
At the same time, it states that the requirement to have at least 50% of the assortment in Ukrainian (according to current legislation) does not apply only to stores that sell books in Crimean Tatar [!] and minority languages, the languages of which are among the official languages of the EU. One more clarification: the current condition for book publishers to produce at least 50% of their printed materials in Ukrainian during the year does not apply to Crimean Tatar and the languages of national minorities belonging to the European Union, if the books were published at the expense of state or local budgets.

archive coe.int | Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities

Why supporters of Ukrainization were against it
The remark about products belonging to EU languages appeared in the text for a reason, as well as the fact that special books were deleted from it. This is a consequence of criticism of these norms by supporters of Ukrainization, who saw them as a loophole for possible relaxation for the Russian language.

Recall: the draft law of the Cabinet of Ministers stated that within 5 years after the end of the war, the Russian language will not fall under the law on national minorities at all, and after this period it could receive some rights. Not in the educational sphere: no progress was expected there. However, after the end of the five-year moratorium, television broadcasting (for companies that broadcast in the language of a national minority, regardless of the territorial category-national TV or regional) could appear in Russian (as the language of a national minority), provided that the quota of 30% in the state language of the total duration of programs or their parts is met.

Deputies of the republic decided to make a proposal to supplement the document "with the possibility of using the state languages of the republics and languages of the peoples of the Russian Federation in the areas designated by the draft law", "so that the fight against foreign borrowing... does not affect the right of peoples to preserve their native language, guaranteed by the Constitution of the Russian Federation"....

Fears of a NATO Withdrawal Rise as Trump Seeks a Return to Power | NY Times |

Current and former European diplomats said there was growing concern a second Trump presidency could mean an American retreat from the continent and a gutting of NATO.

In his 2000 book, "The America We Deserve," Mr. Trump wrote that "pulling back from Europe would save this country millions of dollars annually." As president, he repeatedly threatened a United States withdrawal from the alliance.

Yet as he runs to regain the White House, Mr. Trump has said precious little about his intentions. His campaign website contains a single cryptic sentence: "We have to finish the process we began under my administration of fundamentally re-evaluating NATO's purpose and NATO's mission." He and his team refuse to elaborate.

Axel | US is scrambling to avoid another foreign policy crisis—this time in Congo, 1 Dec

A top U.S. intelligence official presented a detailed proposal to the leaders of [Democratic Republic of] Congo and Rwanda last week for a pact to reduce fighting in eastern Congo—and promised to help enforce the deal.

whitehouse.gov | Readout of Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines's Travel to Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda (21.11.23)

The Biden administration previously said that Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines flew to the region last week to "secure commitments" from Congolese [Tshisekedi] and Rwandan [Kagama] leaders to deescalate [sic] fighting and that they "plan to take specific steps to reduce current tensions." But the administration did not disclose the extent to which the U.S. was designing and overseeing the plan.

Mining Review. United States looks to invest in Lobito Atlantic Railway Corridor, May 2023

"U.S. efforts to counter China on the continent."

This month, Secretary of Stalking Antony Blinken reached out to leaders of both countries, asking them to deescalate [sic] and engage in diplomatic talks to end the fighting. But the meeting between Haines and the leaders of Congo and Rwanda is a higher-level [?!] engagement with more specific asks.
[...]
"The Chinese have cornered the market on Congolese minerals and have for a number of years. And we have in office right now in Congo, a government which has at least shown itself amenable to revisiting those contracts," said Cameron Hudson, a former [CIA] intelligence analyst [in Africa] . "A glaring piece of this that I think undermines all of this is that there's a proxy war [Kagame > M23 > DRC ] going on in the eastern part of the country."
[...]

EU Green Deal, US Inflation Reduction supply chain security

Beijing is Kinshasa's largest trading partner, having gobbled up key mining rights beginning in the 2000s. Its control over the market has put it far ahead of the U.S. race to secure critical components needed for electric vehicle batteries. In an effort to find a way into that market, the U.S. in September signed a memorandum of understanding with Congo and Zambia to help stand up a supply chain for the batteries. The administration also committed to help develop a new rail line that will connect southern Congo and northwestern Zambia via the Lobito Port in Angola. The pathway is critical for the export of minerals key to EV battery production.

A nice review of the Koch brothers (Charles Koch) and funding Climate Change ... coal oligarchs of the Appalachian Mountain tops.

Cranky Uncle vs Climate Change

In the United States, since November 2016, election after election has made clear that Democratic voters will crawl over broken glass to get to the polls to defeat Trump and #Cult45-enabling Republicans. Massive turnout and voters waiting up to seven hours to vote in many Super Tuesday primary states is the latest tangible sign of that.

One of the reasons for this is that Donald Trump is the epitome, a real-life version of the stereotype of the rather lunatic, self-centered, loud, and arrogantly ignorant Cranky Uncle to be put in a corner by himself at family events in hopes that his rantings and rudeness don't blow the event.

When it comes to climate and GMU, many are well aware of the Koch Brothers uber-funding of George Mason and the fostering of climate-science denialism and confusion within portions of the University. (A tip of the hat to UnKoch My Campus and Transparent GMU (T-GMU) for their efforts to expose and fight this.)

scmp | Small modular nuclear reactors: how China and the US are poles apart in energy ambitions

[...]
It is in sharp contrast to the United States, where, also at the start of last month, a planned project to build a novel six-reactor, 462 MW SMR by 2030 was terminated.

Oregon-based NuScale Power has the only SMR design certified for use in the US. For its first project, the company was working with a group of Utah utilities at the Idaho National Laboratory, with the aim of generating enough electricity to power more than 300,000 homes. But it cancelled the project over a lack of user subscriptions and rising costs.

"It is too soon to tell if the NuScale project failure is just a temporary setback or a sign of a broader trend in the US," said Jacopo Buongiorno, professor of nuclear science and engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology [MIT]. "There are half a dozen other SMR projects in the making."
[...]
China has 21 nuclear reactors under construction, which will be able to generate 21.61 GW of electricity. That is more than 2½ times more nuclear reactors under construction than any other nation, according to the IAEA.
[...]
Meanwhile, China has established a robust system for cultivating a stable pool of skilled personnel, with a significant demand for professionals in the nuclear power industry and related subjects in higher education, Zhao added. "China is the de facto world leader in nuclear technology at the moment," Buongiorno said.

In 2017, Bill Gates' nuclear firm TerraPower and the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) signed an agreement to develop fourth-generation nuclear technology, though the plan was stranded amid US restrictions on technology deals with China.
[...]
The US is likely to need 200 GW of new nuclear generation by 2050 to meet national decarbonisation targets, according to its Department of Energy (DOE). That is almost double its existing capacity.

Israel's Demons | NY Book Review by Amis Elon - 21 Dec. 1995 |

A few weeks after the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin at a peace rally in Tel Aviv, the country is still swept by shame, shock, pain, guilt, remorse, and mutual accusation. Large crowds, mostly of young people, continue to gather at Rabin's graveside in the National Cemetery on Mount Herzl outside Jerusalem. Day in day out, thousands of memorial candles spell out their sentiments at the tomb or near the municipal building where Rabin was slain or outside his house in north Tel Aviv.

The main question asked, and only partially answered, is "Why?" It dominates the Op-Ed pages. Talk shows on television and radio continue the debate from early in the morning until late into each night. The left, the supporters of the Labor coalition, accuse Likud and its allies of causing the catastrophe by their verbal violence against the government during the past two years--"Rabin Murderer," "Rabin Traitor."

Likud leaders complain that the left originated this violent style during the Lebanon war. After the massacres at Sabra and Shatila Menachem Begin and Ariel Sharon, too, were called murderers. The answer from the left has been, in effect, "Yes, but whom did we kill? The bullets in Israel are always shot from right to left."

Chabad and the Monsters Among Us | Tikun Olam - 2 June 2008 |

Moment Magazine has done us a service by exposing the true face of Jewish terror.  And it is a the face of a Chabad rabbi.  To the question: "How Should Jews Treat Their Arab Neighbors," Rabbi Maris Friedman of the Bais Chana Institute of Jewish Studies, St. Paul, MN. responds:

I don't believe in western morality, i.e. don't kill civilians or children, don't destroy holy sites [see threat by president Trump for Iranian cultural sites and terror by ISIS] don't fight during holiday seasons, don't bomb cemeteries, don't shoot until they shoot first because it is immoral.

The only way to fight a moral war is the Jewish way: Destroy their holy sites. Kill men, women and children (and cattle).

The first Israeli prime minister who declares that he will follow the Old Testament will finally bring peace to the Middle East. First, the Arabs will stop using children as shields. Second, they will stop taking hostages knowing that we will not be intimidated. Third, with their holy sites destroyed, they will stop believing that G-d is on their side. Result: no civilian casualties, no children in the line of fire, no false sense of righteousness, in fact, no war.

Zero tolerance for stone throwing, for rockets, for kidnapping will mean that the state has achieved sovereignty. Living by Torah values will make us a light unto the nations who suffer defeat because of a disastrous morality of human invention.

Is it possible that there can be pure evil in Judaism?  It grieves me to say that yes, there can be.  At least in one sect of Judaism, which harbors and encourages such genocidal impulses and lunatic leaders.

What Rabbi Friedman is talking about is the Biblical injunction to wipe out Amalek, the tribe that betrayed the Children of Israel and attacked them as they left Egypt.  The only problem with Friedman's claim that this is the "Jewish way" is that he has twisted the Biblical record.  Wiping out Amalek was not the "Jewish way."  It was actually a command hardly, if ever, issued concerning any other Israelite neighbor.  In the Bible, Jews did not routinely wipe out entire tribes merely because they were hostile to Israel.
