Russian trolls

 Scooby have you ever considered that someone these anti war types ares Russian trolls? Please do not let your platform be used to spread propaganda. I bet we have had several Russian trolls on this blog for some time either promoting Trump, defending Russia, or spreading mayhem. You need figure out a way to distinguish Russians trolls from others

I am open to suggestions? Do you have any?

I lose sleep on those long winter nights worrying about Russian trolls. I can handle the trolls from Iceland, New Zealand and Zimbabwe, but those Russians are something else.

My favorite is Trevor the troll in the Billy Goat Gruff story.

In Canada there is a convoy of trucks going to the capital. Many think the Russians are behind this. It is known that Russian trolls are behind many of the extreme right wing fascists movements. As for the blog all I can say is if it sounds like a Russian troll just assume it is. Some key points are complaining about vaccine mandates, pro Trump talk, being against war with Russia over Ukraine, poor English skills, anti CRT talk, anything attacking Antifa, or attacking lab management. Those seem to be most of the points that Russian trolls have brought to the blog. I am not sure about NIF, maybe those threads have been legitimate.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Ok Scooby it looks this could be one. Remember if it sounds like a Russian troll assume it is one. Of course a Russian troll would attack this thread, think about it.

I thought Trumpists were afraid of China. Now they're afraid of Russia again?

No Trumpist are afraid of China and immigrants from Mexico and Central America. In case you where not paying attention to the last 5 years Russia was behind the fraudulent elections of 2016 that put Trump into power and they are also behind the radicalization of the internet through trolls, podcasts and fake news. They are the ones that helped get Joe Rogan his platform along with alt right people such as Ben Shapiro and Alex Jones. In fact many of the anti-lockdown protests like the one in Canada are due to Russian interference. Trump and his crazy followers have always pro Russia, why do you think right wing personalities such as Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Sean Hannity and others are currently pushing so hard against any kid of counter to Russian aggression in Ukraine. They know who butters the bread.

I know we should be afraid of the Russians but I am also getting worried about Canada. With the fascist movement in Canada gaining support we should all be concerned. If Canada falls and lifts the mandates then the same could happen in the US and Covid could run wild and kill millions. On the other hand we could use lab resources to figure out a way to defeat Canada and the fascists. After we take care of Canada we can turn our attention to Russia. We are living in scary times when our closet country is going fascist. We need to secure our northern border to keep Canadian fascists out of the US.

I think China is going to win. By that I mean that China will be the default global power where all other countries will be deferential to China instead of the US. They will have military bases all over the globe and have more territorial control either by taking over places like Taiwan or having places like Saudi Arabia inviting them in as they no longer trust the US. The US will become more what Russia is or even England having some power but no longer the big player, and just like UK of Russia we will have nukes which will give some say but everything else will decline. Life will also gradually decline, crime will go up, social systems will break down and the US will look like South America where you will have the top 10-5% live good lives but it will become much worse for everyone else. In some ways the labs could become more relevant since all the US will have in terms of power will be nukes.

1/30/2022 9:50 PM, 2/07/2022 7:57 PM, and 2/07/2022 9:18 PM are all from the same verbose troll who thinks he has the solutions to all the world's problems and is just itching to explain them to all of us ignorant fools. Am I the only one tired of this kind of garbage on every single web comment section these days? Loosely moderated comment sections get this garbage routinely. Hey Scooby, give us a break from the crazy trolls who know everything. If you are unsure that this kind of stuff is garbage worth deleting, I am surprised and disappointed in you.

Hey 5:55,
Are you suggesting I use discretion
instead of impartiality?

Impartiality does not eliminate discretion. False dichotomy. You have to exercise discretion to decide when you are being impartial. Impartiality implies not giving any one poster's views excessive exposure.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

LLNL un-diversity

Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
