February 12, 1918 – Kaiser Wilhelm Demands Continued War to Break “Forces of International Jewry and Freemasonry”

Pictured – A Weimar era poster reminds gentiles of the sacrifices Jews paid for Germany during the war: “12,000 Jewish soldiers died on the field of honor for the fatherland.
Christian and Jewish heroes fought together and rest together in foreign
soil. 12,000 Jews fell in battle! Blind, enraged Party hatred does not
stop at the graves of the dead. German Women, do not allow that the
suffering Jewish mother is mocked in her pain! The Reich Association of
Jewish Combat Veterans”

Furious at anti-war protests within Germany, Kaiser Wilhelm spoke to the citizens of Bad Homburg on February 10, reminding them that “War is a disciplinary action by God to educate mankind.” In private he fumed to his War Council that week in Hamburg that blame for dissent in Germany and anti-German diplomacy in the world was a grand conspiracy between “Bolsheviks supported by President Wilson,” the forces of “international Jewry,” and the Grand Orient Lodge of Freemasons.

The Kaiser seems to have been ignorant of the fact that as many of 10,000 Jews and many thousands of Freemasons had fallen on the front-lines to further his ambitions of empire. He also conveniently forgot that Germany had helped send Vladimir Lenin back to Russia to cause chaos within the country. But the forces of irrational prejudice were strong in the German Empire. German conservative-nationalists had a history of flagrant anti-Semitism which stretched back before 1871, and often tapped into it to create political support.

The worst example during the war was the Jewish Census of 1916, which counted Jewish soldiers serving in the German military in the incorrect belief that Jews were avoiding conscription. The unreleased census data actually showed a disproportionate amount of Jewish men at the front, but the fact that a census had been taken at all merely confirmed the right-wing mentality that there was a Jewish problem. The “stab-in-the-back” myth promulgated by the German right was not a Nazi invention; it had already begun during the war.

Don’t reupload my work. Anywhere for any reason. Specifically, Pintrest. If you have “Pinned” my stuff, you might wanna go take it down now. Because I’ve just filed five DMCA Copyright Takedown Notices in the last hour and I’ve got enough time and spite to keep the train rolling. I should also note, I found a surprising amount of my friends works who also don’t allow reposting. So they’re probably busy on their end, too. Dude, just don’t do that to artists. It is theft even if it is “Only Fanart”. Theft. It doesn’t “give us publicity”. It’s theft. “If we link it.” It’s still theft. You didn’t paint it/draw it/sketch it. THEFT. So fuckin’ stop already. NOW. I’m going back to commissions.

A.I. is coming in more sympathetic than some people…it’s 2017

according to Amazon, the Echo (Alexa) CANNOT actually do this unless the woman set it up beforehand–just like you can put in a phone number so it’ll dial it when you say “Alexa, call mom” or whatever. the woman apparently programmed it to dial 911 when she said “Alexa, call 911″ (which the woman is heard saying on the 911 recording). so why am I nitpicking about such a tiny distinction?

because Alexa WILL NOT call for help unless you’ve set it up this way first!

this woman was REALLY smart to do that, because otherwise the Echo thing would’ve done nothing. don’t think your Echo will respond to “call 911″ or “call the cops/ambulance/fire department” unless you’ve set it up with the numbers first, and certainly don’t think it’ll hear sounds of a struggle and call for help without a direct command. otherwise think of how many false reports it would make just from overhearing TV and movies being on! 

so instead of this being shared as “Amazon’s AI is going to hear that you’re in trouble and will call for help by itself!” this story should really be shared as “hey if you have one of these things, set it up to respond to a voice command CALL 911 before you’re in that kind of situation!”

Also, for those in abusive situations, consider setting it up so you don’t have to say 911 to get it to call 911. You could program it so “call nina” calls 911.

Sharing for the clarification and tip needing to pre-program Alexa beforehand. You could program it to “call nina,” “get help,” or some more obscure safeword command.

Brilliant thinking on this woman’s part; a pity she was in such a situation she needed to do that.

BOOSTING!
