Researcher illegally shares millions of science papers free online to spread knowledge
Cross post from >>>/pol/4958276
A researcher in Russia has made more than 48 million journal articles - almost every single peer-reviewed paper every published - freely available online. And she's now refusing to shut the site down, despite a court injunction and a lawsuit from Elsevier, one of the world's biggest publishers.
For those of you who aren't already using it, the site in question is Sci-Hub, and it's sort of like a Pirate Bay of the science world. It was established in 2011 by neuroscientist Alexandra Elbakyan, who was frustrated that she couldn't afford to access the articles needed for her research, and it's since gone viral, with hundreds of thousands of papers being downloaded daily. But at the end of last year, the site was ordered to be taken down by a New York district court - a ruling that Elbakyan has decided to fight, triggering a debate over who really owns science.
"Payment of $32 is just insane when you need to skim or read tens or hundreds of these papers to do research. I obtained these papers by pirating them," Elbakyan told Torrent Freak last year. "Everyone should have access to knowledge regardless of their income or affiliation. And that’s absolutely legal."
journal subscriptions have become so expensive that leading universities such as Harvard and Cornell have admitted they can no longer afford them. Researchers have also taken a stand - with 15,000 scientists vowing to boycott publisher Elsevier in part for its excessive paywall fees.
"They feel pressured to do this," Elbakyan wrote in an open letter to the New York judge last year. "If a researcher wants to be recognised, make a career - he or she needs to have publications in such journals."
The site works in two stages. First of all when you search for a paper, Sci-Hub tries to immediately download it from fellow pirate database LibGen. If that doesn't work, Sci-Hub is able to bypass journal paywalls thanks to a range of access keys that have been donated by anonymous academics (thank you, science spies).
This means that Sci-Hub can instantly access any paper published by the big guys, including JSTOR, Springer, Sage, and Elsevier, and deliver it to you for free within seconds. The site then automatically sends a copy of that paper to LibGen, to help share the love.
Last year, a New York court delivered an injunction against Sci-Hub, making its domain unavailable (something Elbakyan dodged by switching to a new location), and the site is also being sued by Elsevier for "irreparable harm" - a case that experts are predicting will win Elsevier around $750 to $150,000 for each pirated article. Even at the lowest estimations, that would quickly add up to millions in damages.
But Elbakyan is not only standing her ground, she's come out swinging, claiming that it's Elsevier that have the illegal business model.
"I think Elsevier’s business model is itself illegal," she told Torrent Freak, referring to article 27 of the UN Declaration of Human Rights, which states that "everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits".
She also explains that the academic publishing situation is different to the music or film industry, where pirating is ripping off creators. "All papers on their website are written by researchers, and researchers do not receive money from what Elsevier collects. That is very different from the music or movie industry, where creators receive money from each copy sold," she said.
Elbakyan hopes that the lawsuit will set a precedent, and make it very clear to the scientific world either way who owns their ideas.
"If Elsevier manages to shut down our projects or force them into the darknet, that will demonstrate an important idea: that the public does not have the right to knowledge," she said. "We have to win over Elsevier and other publishers and show that what these commercial companies are doing is fundamentally wrong."
To be fair, Elbakyan is somewhat protected by the fact that she's in Russia and doesn't have any US assets, so even if Elsevier wins their lawsuit, it's going to be pretty hard for them to get the money.
/Ordos/ The Black Library
Greetings, /8d/. I posted a while back about making a tradecraft thread; well here it is! Delayed for a bit for security reasons, and of course with no infographics because I cannot into shoops. But here's an info dump anyway!
Topic One: Building An Independent Intelligence Cell
This should be the most important part; and is really the most dangerous part of any intelligence operation. Anyone who comes into your cell could potentially be a double agent; but there are ways to mitigate this risk. First: You should always leave yourself a space of deniability. This is a meeting place where no digital devices are allowed and any incoming and outgoing traffic/surrounding area traffic can be monitored by physical observation. Innawoods is obviously a good idea; but infrastructure is important too. (Faraday Cages work wonders in this as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage for the kikepedo article on it. This principle can be used to build a Faraday Cage in your Central Area of Operations Management aka CONTROL.) This is paramount: no one should know about the location of this space but high level agents in the cell, and CONTROL itself.
If you're building a cell; make yourself CONTROL; if you're getting into a cell, make sure you follow the directives of CONTROL. Be forewarned; operational security on CONTROL is paramount to a cell's success. CONTROL *must* have management skills and keep abreast of ALL operations engaged by that cell. So, if your CONTROL is a shit; you may just get boned. (It should come with an understanding that you're engaging in espionage; things will eventually go bad, plan accordingly.) In theory; this would allow several anons to form cells, those cells to communicate with each other through cut outs/dead drops and potentially begin to rival our suited friends in at least organization and secrecy.
Okay; so you've got yourself a base of operations that no one else knows about, and maybe a few agents to help you do something. Now to gear up.
Cameras are the biggest thing, cameras of all sizes and shapes. For a small cell, I'd suggest getting at least one digital SLR type camera for hi-res shots of buildings, people and other things. These can be carried inconspicously by someone acting as a tourist if you live in a major city; or as a birdwatcher if you're in a national/state park. (Bear in mind; that with the new antiterrorism laws active in most places, you may be subject to a search for this kind of thing if you are shit at talking your way out of inquiry.) Keep two sd/CF/etc cards for this camera. One for operations relevent photos, one you can switch out that contains more mundane photos of touristy type shit. Everyone's broke right now; so tourism dollars will generally be left alone in order to not scare anyone off.
Get a few smaller hi-res cameras or other recording/surveilance devices as well.
(*Examples: http://www.spygadgets.com/power-adapter-hidden-camera/
Or: http://www.spygadgets.com/iphone-power-case-spy-camera-with-wide-angle-high-res-camera/
If you have an Iphone; you're set with this. Other than the tracking software already in place in said iphone… lol)
Once you have cameras and a CONTROL area confirmed; time to start looking at other operations tools. Weapons, ammunition, other intel gathering equipment. (keyloggers, pass-crackers, cellphone signal sweepers and other things)
Calling all diggers
We need any and all information anyone might have on anita sarkessian BEFORE Gamergate and feminist frequency
She is a known scammer who was part of several schemes during the entire last decade up to 2012 went she started pretending she was a feminist (basically he latest scam)
We know her first boss and mentor (vid related) who taught her how to scam people using shitty "how to be successful" seminars is in jail right now, I need his full name and any publicly available information on the case that landed him in prison
A while ago people unearthed evidence of anita's participation in another scam as an organizer in a motivational cruise to costa rica, she has tried to scrub that from the web but there are still leftovers. I need links and pictures and again names of anyone who was part of her scam.
Then she moved to another scam involving palm reading (see the pattern? always going for dumb gullible people, like feminazis) and also rumors says she did a stint as a PUA, pretty much the number one enemies of feminazis. We barely have anything about this but I recall pictures of her in such an event with an older man leading said event and she being an organizer/helper to him, probably even a "coach girl" for idiots to practice their 'negs' on her, something you see often at PUA scam courses.
Again, don't need any of her recent info, only the one related to her scams before feminism and video games, basically everything before 2012

UN Calls for Mass Censorship of Internet
ATTENTION
There's a massive narrative shift right now. They're trying to change the discussion from harassment to "online violence," and the UN is seeking to force search engines, hosts, and ISPs to censor results of people that they feel aren't feminist enough for them.
If this goes through, this will have disastrous implications for the internet. The US law they're seeking to overturn in the process is pretty much the only thing that allows for online communication, rather than the dissemination of information.
In other words, social media, message boards, even free email services might end up going by the wayside.
Even radfem WaPo shill Caitlin Dewey's showing cracks in her willingness to continue the narrative.
Wikileaks is on it and fingers Sweden (naturally) as the source of the problem
https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/647410648079577090
https://tweetsave.com/wikileaks/status/647410648079577090
The Swedish convention where they sought to redefine the "harassment" narrative as "online violence" was kind enough to leave us a list of names, however, there are no biographies, credentials, or lists of who exactly these people are.
These are not pseudonyms, interestingly enough, but there aren't many Swedish names on the list as far as I know.
How Do We Stop The Boards From Collapsing?
As we know, /v/ and /pol/ in particular have been getting hit hard with bullshit. To us, it seems obvious, but even the mods from the respective boards keep gutting themselves.
How can we inform the people and hotpockets of these boards to stop feeding the problem?
Is it even possible to stop them? I hope we can identify the problem and take an initiative to fix this gay shit
Digging Thread: DiGRA has awoken!
reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/42s19b/seems_like_digra_might_be_preparing_for_round_two/
It turns out that DiGRA appears to be preparing for round two. As most of the fags that were here from the beginning know from Sargon's vids, DiGRA is a bunch of international professors from different universities who think that scientism is okay, your statements and hypothese do not rigorous methods and data to be demonstrated and that GG wants womyn out of them industries.
It seems like DiGRA members focused on Marxism and Game Studies think very interesting thoughts and want to go do something about what they see as problematic: https://archive.is/zMoJD
Because of this they made this: https://archive.is/os1kS
This is a digging thread that is also on GGHQ, n and pol. Please help us dig autists. This evil must be stopped in its tracks.
Department of Children and Families corruption
Been hearing DCF is starting in some parts of the country to go after conservative families, in states where teachers have the right to commit kids and shit…they start child service seizures and commit kids to psyche wards to silence their personal views
Case in point
Common Core Math, Bill Gates, Wages and the 'Stem Shortage'
Common core math undermines STEM logic and scientific method.
The people prioritizing common core and subsequent math curriculum are coming from the tech industry.
These same people are pushing for the influx of foreign workers due to a 'STEM shortage'.
A group of very powerful, very wealthy people coming together to prioritize and push for the indoctrination of kids and undermine American civil liberties.
We all know the major tech players collude to short change programmers on wages:
We all know that these major tech players also push for an influx of H1B visa workers due to a 'shortage':
http://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2015/article/stem-crisis-or-stem-surplus-yes-and-yes.htm
We all know that Bill Gates and Co are the largest financial backers of common core, and pay legions of lobbyists to implement common core math across all American schools:
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/bill-melinda-gates-political-debate-common-core-standards/
Lastly, we all know common core blatantly flaunts flawed math and science standards, undermining the scientific method "Next Generation Science Standards NGSS":
http://ncse.com/news/2016/01/anti-ngss-bill-iowa-0016887
This is basically treason against an entire generation of American children at this point and further undermines the competitiveness of Americans. It also has the added benefit of undermining American civil liberties via the subversion of a nation's youth.
ITT: We point out who is prioritizing/pushing for common core (ie; lobbying groups, financial backers, paid Hi I'm from 4chans etc), How they are doing it (legal injunctions etc.) and What exactly the endgame is.
Political agenda pushing in the moderation of /pol/
Why does no one seem to care about this?
It's obvious when you look at the stickies.
Could other anons please pick up the spade and help me gather evidence for and against the mods being biased in other ways (i.e. deletion, bumplocking, locking, banning etc)?
This is on-topic for this board I hope. Tell me if it isn't.
Dig thread: San Fran indie hipster douchebags
ctrl-x-posted from /co/
=Objective: A map of the cancer infecting media.=
You know what? I'm feeling generous and vindictive; I'll give you a map of the San Fran indie hipster douchebag community. I was once one of them, and I now want nothing but for their empire / house of cards to fall for their betrayals. Betrayals of outcasts, autists, nerds, atheists, liberal values, and true equality in favor of dogma and money.
Most of this is from my memory.

Microsoft Vote Fraudulence?
So, I'm not really invested in the elections, but something really fucked went down last night.
There was a battle (politically speaking, of course) over the state of Iowa between several candidates: Marco Rubio, Trump, and some others. It was revealed that Microsoft would be providing the ballots and cloud-based software, namely Microsoft Azure, that is used for counting the votes.
I'm sure there are already alarm bells ringing in your head.
It was also revealed that Microsoft has actually funded Rubio's campaign, along with some other candidate whose name escapes me. So, we had a private corporation with a clear political leaning providing ballots and vote counting for this particular vote, in which one of the candidates is someone they're supporting.
You're damn right some shit went south.
At the pace Rubio's campaign has been going, the results didn't really add up. Rubio gained 10% of the vote out of thin air that night.
Will post more info from /pol/ as I see it, but there's already a conflict of interest here, and there might be vote fraudulence as well

Operation Steadfast Impact
Seeing as we're a wetwork board, I think it's time for our first operation. The target is one of the major fortresses of SJW power on the internet, SRS.
The plan is to have a group of four or five operators infiltrate the SRS userbase and work up the ranks to mod positions, paving the way for other operatives to gain mod positions. This operation is expected to last a year to a year and a half.
As you can see, this is similar to SRS tactics so we have to be especially careful. Operatives will also be directed by an operation director and will not know the other members of the operation in case of enemy infiltration.
I want to know of there is interest in this operation. If you want it, provide a way to contact and it would preferable if you had experience.
Before you ask, operation name was chosen by an online generator because we have no operation name creation guidelines. MGS style codenames for operatives optional but appreciated.
Tinfoil hats
Do they have potential to become fashionable as an ironic statement? Like a lashback against the OBEY hats. Anyone wearing one can simply say "you know it's just a joke."
Maybe it'll do some good. Maybe most first world citizens already have nanomachines in their heads anyway.
And I don't mean to go full /x/. I just know I'm not the only one who sees some shady stuff here.
Hot pocket for /v/ here, holy shit.
So during the stick I went to bed and woke up a few hours later. So I decided to check out most of the metafags post history. So it turns out there are three situations
1. They have very few posts
2. They usually try to deflect
And the actually interesting one
3. They usually post in the SS13 General
heres the thing, I've noticed that the SS13 General has a history with SA, so this might make it worth digging into since the same goons have been trying to distort the site and shit. Please let me know if you find anything.

Operation Stop Wars
The latest Lucas monstrosity is almost here. Some people interpret the franchise literally and call themselves "jedi." The sane, like Mr. Plinkett, know it's just brainwashing. Supposedly the Force Awakens is already finished.
The truth is that Star Wars was a product of Jungian thought, the idea that every person has an archetype. It later evolved into "the prequels."
"George Lucas raped our childhood" became the cry of autists who fell for the brainwashing.
Now Abrams promises to respect those autists, but there's nothing respectful about any Star Wars movie.
It will continue to be a psychological experiment. Maybe it will unite East and West. Maybe this is no longer podracing.
The purpose of this operation will be to monitor the effects that Star Wars has on moviegoers. Nothing more, nothing less.

American McGee's Sister Goes Missing, Dallas PD DA Does Nothing
This is Susan Hawk. A pro-GG game dev's sister end missing after some a-GG started sending threats to McGee in which he specifically named his sister. When she finally goes missing, Dallas PD sat on their asses and assumed she ran away of her own volition.
It's the fucking holidays. She's been missing since November 10th
It's suspected that the root cause for this apathy is their district attorney Susan Hawk, who has quite an interesting history. Everything from firing people en masse, to disappearing from the workplace for 3 weeks to fight her major depressive disorder. People have tried and failed to get her out of office for her incompetency and her history with depression, which went undisclosed throughout her early career
Let's find whatever info we can about Susan Hawk and share this thread to the boards it concerns.
It's amazingly fucked that someone is nowhere to be found for the holidays and the police decide to not do anything about it

Digging Tools thread
This thread is meant to direct people to useful tools for digging.
Of course, wikileaks is a great start for a lot of shit.
You can also find a lot of useful things in the Leak Directory
http://leakdirectory.org/index.php/Leak_Site_Directory
It provides not only a long list of different leak sites for different areas and countries, but also directs to tip off sites about political wrongdoings.
Mossad, Israel, US government, extremist organizations, Britbong long, you name it, you can probably find something good there.
If you need to hop on a secure location and don't want to get v& because you were stupid enough to go on Tor, there are some good alternatives.
Tails is a linux based system that works on pretty much any system
Freenet is also a good alternative
Whonix will protect you pretty well from tracking malware and DNS leaks
I REALLY DO NOT RECOMMEND GOING TO ANY OF THE LEAK SITES WITHOUT PROPER PROTECTION
As of December 2013 alone, these sites all went down
(defunct as of December 2013) OpenLeaks - OpenLeaks website- experienced former WikiLeaks.org tech team but not yet a live project
(defunct as of December 2013) IsraeliLeaks - IsraeliLeaks website
(defunct as of December 2013) Localeaks.com - Localeaks.com website
(defunct as of December 2013) BritiLeaks false start - BritiLeaks website - original false start: launched with less than no anonymity or security protection at all - see below for current site .
(defunct as of December 2013) BritiLeaks - BritiLeaks website - still to be launched, but "open alpha" testing of a secure submission system and hosting mirrors of other whistleblowing websites.
(defunct as of December 2013) MurdochLeaks - The Murdoch Leaks Project website - "will accept tips or evidence of wrong doing relating to Rupert Murdoch's affiliated institutions such as News International and News Corporation"
(defunct as of December 2013) EccieLeaks - eccieleaks.com - "Exposing the child trafficking/child prostituting websites" - publishing the private/secret/staff forums of child prostitution advertising websites
(defunct as of December 2013) PinoyLeaks - PinoyLeaks website
If you have any other good digging tools, post them here so anons can use them for their ops and intel gathering

How to genetically make a /pol/ack
r/K selection theory, which is not new or clandestine in any way if you keep up with biology, actually has very far-reaching sociological implications. It explains how >>>/pol/ has a high capacity for recognizing glory and virtue as well as evil and wickedness. And it explains why cultural marxism is so powerful, like the great 'invisible hand' that decides what capitalists really do in business environments.
Take some time to recall what you know about biology and evolution.
Donald Trump and Hollywood
Both sides are hellbent on directing the eyes of the American public toward China. Trump's wall ultimatum, which thanks to predictive programming has already been made known to America, will make Americans question whether they want to imitate the Chinese and their rich heritage. Movies like Pacific Rim, as well as the popular anime Attack on Titan, drive home the message that a wall is not enough. The moral of the story being to lower your defenses and welcome cultural assimilation. This is not an evil master plot. This is the new world order in all its "greater good" glory. Yes, people will get hurt. France got hurt by the hornets nets that's been buzzing ever since 9/11. It's tragic, yes. But you must understand the benefits of cultural assimilation. Empathy comes from real encounters with real people. Even the slimeballs pulling the strings deserve to be forgiven because we have no choice but to forgive them their sins. I'm ranting, yes. In truth, I'm just as afraid of this century as any sane person ought to be. Just remember that whatever the brainwashing does to you, you can still choose to accept or to question. And if you choose to question you must always decide what questions to ask whom, and how wise that kind of lifestyle may be.
The Human Rights Campaign
This thread is for information regarding the degenerate organisation the HRC. It was stated by the pedophile (and gay porn financier) Terry Bean in the 1970's and since has become the most influential LGBTQ* promoting organization inn the United States if not world wide. I will try to get it started with information in general about their operation and include what you need to know to find the evidence of their infiltration into your city's (or state and county) government. In short, the HRC's building a sjw power center right now and we need to point that out.
Avalanche Warning
Good Afternoon, my carbonized brothers.
/pol/ Is currently taking advantage of Gex's new propaganda Piece and using it as a vessel to spread vital information that european countries affected obscure from their people.
Anyone willing to throw a punch is welcome.
Keep in mind we're being hit pretty heavily by shills.
Online cultural warfare
/Pol/ intelligence agency eh?
Have you guys thought about creating some kind of automated twitter botnet that could be used for promoting subtle but promising hashtags, memes and tweets into trending? Literally a couple thousand shill accounts using untraceable stock photos and blurting normie memes autonomously to seem convincing.
Also, amassing large quantities of followers on novelty accounts on twitter and facebook is pretty easy, God Save Our Gracious Meme is a british facebook page run by some middle aged sperg from brit/pol/ which has 70,000 followers.
I'm not saying what I'm suggesting wouldn't take a lot of time and technical skill but if you're serious about being an intelligence agency then you need a way to gain influence.

IndieCade and Corruption
We are probably all aware of how the IGF work and how corrupt they are. In case not, here is a video series by ShortFatOtaku and CameraLady with tons of info:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNyM7lxFy98
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ON-oL4Mlks
(I actually recommend (re-)watching them, since they name a bunch of the typical suspects that might be important this year as well.)
Now IndieCade is coming up in 2 weeks and there are already some hints on corruption. IndieCade is not the same as IGF, but they seem to have similar agendas and are deep in the SocialJustice-Ideology. Two of IndieCades chairs were LWs sexual partners and gave her an award for Depression Quest.
Here is a list of IndieCades Organizers:

I'll follow up with a specific case and two others if I find the info that was already posted in the /v/ general. I'll post anything that is discussed in the /v/ general and may seem important here in a timely manner and any connections I find when I look further into this in the coming days.
Your help is really appreciated, thanks.
informant
First let me start off with that I hate taking tripcodes, but I need to to make sure that no one feeds you bad information. Allow me to begin.
A friend of mine (another /pol/ack) decided recently to start an anti-facist group with the sole intention of creating in-group fighting, spreading misinformation, and infiltrating the upper TORCH network.
Let me tell you what I currently know about the TORCH network.
TORCH is headed up by the NYC anti-fa group, but was previously run by the Philadelphia anti-fa group.
TORCH groups are "bound" into contract by a group of commandments known as the "seals." They basically dictate the actions of the members (don't be sexist, racist, ect).
TORCH groups rely on the buddy system to beat down on people during protests. This can be dismantled properly with group counter-tactics, but what is really interesting about this choice is how they plan. TORCH relies on real time tactics not long term strategy, so beating them in the long run should not be hard.
There is a lot of exploitable in group fighting. If used correctly, they can alienate entire other groups, swinging them to our side. The nature of anti-fa basically allows us to have the "moral high ground" and accuse people of instilled biggotry.
I will be back soon with info.

Operation Black Vulture
I've been brainstorming on ways to go at wikikepedoa and edit non PC articles and make the administration overstep itself by vulturing over articles.
>We've learned one of the worst things for trying to win on wikipedia is sending people with no idea how wikipedia works in to edit shit. You need to out-rulelawyer the opposition for anything to matter.
Mass edits do fuck all. These are people already reverting shit 24/7 of their lives. Giving them more shit to edit just fuels their want for control because they can easily label and dismiss shit while retaining control (in fact, they end up looking better because they're protecting wiki from bad editors, thus gaining them brownie points and trust to pull even worse bullshit.
It doesn't even provide good keks.
We should make effort to learn from this mistake and try to make a cell on wikipedia

DiGRA/SRI
Let's have this thread for DiGRA/SRI related digs. For those who aren't familiar with DiGRA
>Founded in 2003, DiGRA is the premiere international association for academics and professionals who research digital games and associated phenomena. It encourages high-quality research on games, and promotes collaboration and dissemination of work by its members. It’s Executive Board is made up of a variety of international scholars.
Translation: We're dedicated to co-opting video games with pseudo-academics, pointless and divisive politicization, and manipulation of the masses.
"Last week MIT announced a new videogame to teach students empathy http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2013/11/teaching-empathy-through-digital-game-play/ called Quandary. Players 'win the most points by accurately predicting each character’s reaction.' …
"Now since the characters are not real people, the game is also a highly useful technique for fostering false beliefs about people and their values and what drives them. Unlike the real world or even an accurate history textbook, the Quandary characters will be driven by what the game designers want students to believe about the world. Those desires become the guiding images for students during their most pliable, personality formation, years. And in that post I linked above, game designer Jane McGonnigle was quite forthright in the intentions to use games to create images of a desired future and the need for change.
"Both Jane’s boss, Marina Gorbis (see tag for her) and Willis Harman (discussed in linked post) worked during the 80s at SRI. Now I first became familiar with what used to be known as the Stanford Research Institute when SRI kept coming up as the grant evaluator for university partnerships aggressively pushing constructivist math and science on K-12 in return for multimilliondollar grants from the National Science Foundation. Just imagine how much better I would have understood the dynamic of why aggressive implementation (whatever the outcry or results) brought renewals for a new term if I had better understood SRI as a hive of Humanist Psychology."
Who Are The "Cultural Libertarians"?
Milo Yiannopoulos is now calling himself a "Cultural Libertarian" and he wants to start a movement. The recent "GGinLA" meetup was formally titled "Cultural Liberty in LA". Other "leaders" in the group include:

- Mercedes Carrera
- Lauren Southern

The GameStop Side Of Things
Something that one of my colleagues brought up the other day. Have we looked into GameStop and their connections with these people and companies? I mean their relationship with these people is more than normal and I am pretty sure their ethical practices with these companies is about as respectable as their business practices.
What made my colleague bring it up is the latest American Assassin's Creed commercial which advertised GameStop more than the actual game. I mean it is more than your average "preorder to get dlc hat" type of thing. In this one you get literally five seconds of actual game footage and the rest of it is just a giant GameStop add.
Video related is the commercial in question:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6wOz3a7xbo
Seeing that GameStop is one of the less reviewed groups of our digging it would also help to point out that GameInformer is also owned by them and ran a smear piece on us not once,
Not twice, https://archive.is/5OJfP
Not thrice, https://archive.is/SQ5WH
But four times! https://archive.is/0iG70
And by the looks of things, they have no intentions of stopping either. Now lets look at the authors of those glorified blog posts.
Andy McNamara:
https://www.linkedin.com/pub/andy-mcnamara/6b/450/38b
https://twitter.com/GI_AndyMc/following
Is following, Stephen Totilo, Jason Schreier, Ben Kuchera, Patrick Klepek, Kyle Orland, Anita Sarkeesian, Kotaku, Brianna Wu, Just about every big video game corporation you can imagine.
Gee, it seems like almost the whole gang is here. I wonder where he gets all his opinions and facts from for his articles?
Now lets look at the 2nd Author, Still_Insane22 AKA Chris Mitchellye.
https://twitter.com/chrismitchellye/following
The only thing I can find out of place is he follows Sarah Nyberg..Why?
The fourth author is Matt Helgeson.
https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewhelgeson
https://twitter.com/MattHelgeson/following
And the first thing that smacks you in the face on the follow list.
BILL GATES. Also following is, Sam Biddle amongst others, but this guy does not even hold a candle to the third author is Jack Gardner.
https://www.linkedin.com/pub/jack-gardner/3a/788/b19
https://twitter.com/Riverboatjack/following
He is following Mint Princess, Randi Harper, Patrick Klepek, Jimmy Wales, Brianna Wu's private account, Anthony Burch, Ian Miles Cheong, Kate Edwards (I kid you not), Patricia Hernandez, Leigh Alexander, Alex Lifschitz (What even?), Nathan Grayson, Brianna Wu, Anita Sarkeesian AND Josh McInjosh, kyle pulver, IndieCade (Really), Mighty No. 9 (lol), Rami Ismail, Stephen Totilo, Zoe Quinn (And this follow is FAR longer ago than the others), Ben Kuchera, Machinima, Gamasutra Jobs, Gamasutra, Double Fine, Polygon, Destructoid, Chris Kluwe, The Yogscast, Phil Fish, Time Schafer as well as tons of rainbow haired SJWs and more goony beard men than you can shake a katana at and just about every big video game company you can imagine.
I have to actually admit. I am STUNNED at the pure insanity of it all. Never before have I seen THAT MUCH collusion in a single follow list. The whole clique is practically there.
There is without a doubt something doing down within GameStop and GameInformer. I have noticed that Stepehn Totilo never stops talking about GameInformer, countless people up on those lists usually fluff eachother's companies through Kotaku and over the past few years GameInformer has started getting involved with covering IndieCade. Something is definitely up.
Kotaku Opens Up "Talk Among Yourselves
Here, a good opportunity for you GhoozleGhandi's.
http://www.kotaku.com.au/2015/10/talk-amongst-yourselves-350/
Kotaku Australia is apparently allowing people to "talk about anything!". I don't have to tell you how you can use this to get discussions about game journalism going and drop some good redpills.

Jared Cohen/Google Ideas, or Where Silicon Valley Meets the State Department
GG recently discovered Google Ideas invited some of the literal whos and other various loud-mouth rainbow hairs from Twatter to talk about how they are so incredibly oppressed as proud womyn on the Internet. Needless to say the sheer hypocrisy has sparked a huge backlash focused in the hashtag #GoogleAbuse.
But that's not why I'm here.
The hypocrisy on display here is fucking chump change compared to the head of Google Ideas, Jared Cohen. This guy worked as a senior adviser to Condoleezza Rice and Hilary Clinton during their stints at the State Department. He played a big part in overseeing the old neocon "spreading freedom and democracy" schtick. Google hired him to lead their "think-/do-tank" Google Ideas. Armed with Washington connections and the backing of a Silicon Valley monolith, nothing but bad things come to mind. Here's an excerpt from a news article that cites documents from the Manning leaks to give you an idea of how big of a deal this is.
>In turn, Burton replied, “Cohen’s rabbi is Eric Schmidt and Obama lackey. My source is trying to find out if the billionaire owners are backing Cohen’s efforts for regime change.” (doc-id 1111729)
>Later on, Burton forwarded information from the “Google source” of Cohen’s links in establishing Movements.org. The source added, “A site created to help online organization of groups and individuals to move democracy in stubborn nations. Funded through public-private partnerships.” Burton pointed out that the US State Department is the organization’s public sponsor.” (doc-id 1118344)
>Indeed, the State Department, partnering with a number of corporations, was the main sponsor for the 2008 inaugural Alliance of Youth Movements summit in New York City that subsequently established Movements.org. Hillary Clinton endorsed the organization and presented a video message during the second summit held in Mexico City a year later.
>On 11 February, Burton wrote to the secure email list that Cohen was still planning to head to Gaza. He added, “The dude is a loose can[n]on. GOOGLE is trying to stop his entry into Gaza now because the dude is like scorched earth. It’s unclear to GOOGLE if he’s driving without a license, but GOOGLE believes he’s on a specific mission of “regime change” on the part of leftist fools inside the WH who are using him for their agendas.” (doc-id 1113596)
I have included Julian Assange's book about a meeting between him and Google's CEO Eric Schmidt. I haven't finished reading it but it details their competing philosophies. As you can imagine, Schmidt and Cohen see eye-to-eye.
So my challenge to you is to dig up anything damning you can find about Cohen, Schmidt, or Google Ideas. Once you find quotes, package them in bite-sized screenshots or infographics ready for distribution on #GoogleAbuse. Think people are mad now? Rainbow-haired she-twinks are small fries compared to North African and Middle Eastern "regime change".

Institute of Play
The Institute of Play at Parsons The New School for Design pays the salaries of the game designers and curriculum specialists who work with teachers. Shapiro, from the Institute of Play, and Principal Elisa Aragon are co-directors who share responsibilities for running the school. In addition to the support of Parsons, the Institute of Play has some heavy-hitting funders, including the Gates Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation.
https://web.archive.org/web/20150316145119/http://insideschools.org/component/schools/school/1622
Does someone have an archive of the earlier thread identifying Parsons as the Frankfurt School?
Institute of Play board of directors:
Persons of interest:
* Robert Gehorsam, President - served in senior executive positions at the Viacom/CBS Internet Group and Sony Online Entertainment, and led Scholastic's New Media Group.
* Steve Arnold - served as vice president of Broadband Media Applications at Microsoft Corporation and as president and CEO of Continuum Productions (now Corbis), and was VP of LucasArts Gaming and Learning
* Tristan Louis - worked as Chief Innovation Officer for HSBC
* Jenna Trabulus - Director of Business Development at IGN Entertainment
* Eric Zimmerman of Gamelab - is notable enough that Consentacle developer Naomi Clark mentioned him twice on her LinkedIn: https://archive.is/kLpF6 They have worked together since the 1990s.
Institute of Play advisor Peter Lee (not the Microsoft guy) of Nolgong Powerhouse set up Gamelab in 1999
Helped start Institute of Play in 2006
Institute of Play created Quest to Learn
Quest to Learn's backers include the MacArthur Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
His local organization, Nolgong, recently held a game-based educational camp in rural Korea to teach children about the work of UNICEF
He wants to introduce game-based learning into Korean schools.
So Lee's group has done work for a different branch of the UN
Institute of Play advisor Franklin Madison works for the Industrial and Technology Assistance Corporation of New York, of which I could dig up nothing.
He was Secretary/Treasurer of Games 4Change, Inc. and also works for a carbon offset company called Carbon XPrint
http://www.carbonxprint.com/who-we-are/
Board members:
* Gary Keir, Founder - Also involved in Bitcoin markets. LinkedIn: https://archive.is/t0RAR
* Franklin Madison
* Ib I. Olson - Former companies Financial Products Testing, Cleantech Consulting Service, and Danish IT company EDGE Business Advisory https://archive.is/baD80
* Blair Ulmer - of the Royal Bank
Guess what carbon offsets are known for.

This might be nothing. but remember what Games For Change founder Suzanne Seggerman is known for.
Very Simple Op- Milo Gets Banned From Debate About Censorship
The irony here is insane. The debate is about whether or not feminists are stifling free speech. They already banned another feminist from it and now they banned Milo from it, branding him a "professional misogynist" and "rape apologist"
So this op is incredibly simple. Shoot an email to the Manchester Student's Union explaining why this is such shit. If anything comes of it, then good on them. If not, they only look like bigger idiots

Vox Media: The Cancer Behind Sites Like Buzzfeed, The Verge, and Polygon
This is less of a digging thread and more of a call to action.
It will be incredibly easy to pull together cancer from each of Vox's sites and weaponize their own bullshit against them in the form of emails and redpills
Buzzfeed, the Verge, and Polygon are full of all kinds of bullshit.
So first, we need to look for their advertisers, dig up shit on whichever Vox owned site (or even Vox itself), compile it, and send said bullshit to advertisers. I've done this before with Gawker, and it's worked out before, so let's give it a shot with Vox and its child sites if you're interested
Are "Cultural Marxists" actually "Cultural Christians"?
Taken from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_values:
The biblical teachings of Jesus include:
Love of God: "You shall love the Lord your God with all of your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might." (an excerpt from the Shema Deut.6:5), -Matthew 22:37
Fidelity in marriage: "Whom God has joined together let no man put asunder", derived from -Matthew 19:6
Renunciation of worldly goods: "Gather not your riches up upon this earth, for there your heart will be also", (Matthew 6:21)
Renunciation of violence: "If a man strikes you on one cheek, turn the other cheek", (Luke 6:29)
Forgiveness of sins: "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us", (Matthew 6:12)
Unconditional love: "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you". (Luke 6:27-28)
Modern use in worldwide right-wing politics
In the 21st century United States, Australia, UK and other countries, the phrases "Christian values" and "family values" are used by Christian right and conservative political groups to describe some or all of the following political stances:
censorship of sexual content, especially in movies and on television.
the desirability of laws against induced abortion
sexual abstinence outside of marriage and abstinence-only education
the promotion of intelligent design to be taught in public schools and colleges as an alternative to evolution.
the desirability of laws against same-sex marriage
support for laws against the acceptance of homosexuality into mainstream society
the desirability of organized prayer in public schools
Modern use in worldwide liberal politics
In the 21st century United States, Australia, UK and other countries, the phrases "Christian values" and "family values" are used by liberal political groups to describe some or all of the following political stances:
support for a culture of empathy and compassion, seen as central to Christianity among a diverse range of religions and worldviews; favouring individuals, families (of all compositions) and small communities' interests over the interests of large corporations and the powerful;
protection of the environment as the product of a deep reverence for God's creation;
the undesirability of war other than as a last resort, and a respect for diplomacy (see Swords to ploughshares);
a living wage for all, seen as a mark of concern for the physical welfare of "the least among us"
a high, progressive income tax to promote greater income equality in keeping with Jesus' words in support of the poor and against excessive riches;
promoting Render unto Caesar as an endorsement of secular governance separation of church and state and religious tolerance, consistent with the concept of Christ's kingdom not being "of this world" and warnings against the hunger for potentially corrupting temporal power throughout the Bible.
tl;dr
If you ignore the bits about homosexuality and abortion, SocJus is very close to "Christian Values". For contrast, look at Asian values, or Classical Liberal values, or just about anything other set of values.
They've no real philosophy to back up any of their values. Just "it's fair" or "it's gross" or "problematic". So where do they get their prejudices? Imagine a college student / professor with a few gay friends, who learns about evolution, and decides Christianity is bunk. But being a goony beardmanchild, they don't re-assess any of the other stuff that Christianity indoctrinated them with.
The intellectual rigor of evolution provides a rational reason for ditching Christianity, and the sexual revolution provides the emotional need to ditch it. But all the other Christian values remain, un-examined.
Digging Event: TwitchCon 2015 (9-25/26)
(Moved over from >>/gamergatehq/275885 on request.)
>TwitchCon is coming up this weekend in San Francisco, the city of Twitch's headquarters. It serves a threefold purpose:
>-The overstated "primary" purpose: an event for Twitch viewers (read: mindless orbiters with more money than sense) to meet their favorite streamers (read: mostly faggot e-celebs)
>-For new streamers to learn about streaming through educational sessions (nearly all of which are sponsored by certain companies)
>-For guest streamers to gain access to and play ""certain sponsored games"" on Twitch at the show, therefore giving them free advertising.
>If you can't read between the lines, this convention is where broadcast narratives are being shaped for most of Twitch's audience over the next 12 months.
>The people who represent the sponsoring companies by and large are not listed on the guest roster or on the schedule (on purpose, no doubt), though at least one panelist's name is familiar: Rani Ismail. (There are multiple indie gaming "outreach" panels. One can conclude indies are being pushed hard this year. Remember also: this is a convention that is being held in San Francisco…whose environment should sure as fuck be self-evident to you by now.)
>There's no doubt more to be found, but as I'm an ignorant faggot I haven't noticed it.
This event started at 10:00 AM Pacific Time today and will continue through tomorrow. Most of it will be airing on Twitch itself. VOD availability is unknown.

#Performance Matters investigation thread
>"The vote comes on the heels of a "Performance Matters" panel at Long Beach Comic Con on September 12, 2015, where a collection of actors talked about their craft. The general idea is that unfair contracts have been asked for by producers in the video game industry, and now to the point that voice actors have to use the organized union to negotiate further."

recently I've been told holywood and SJW's are attempting to get their claws into video games by using VA's to demand royalties for VA work. As you know this idea was born in comic con comics are SJW territory. A Union for VA's would just be another institution SJW's can infiltrate. And look at their demands.
Hehehe… Good goyim, fight against corruption in Gaming Journalism! This is a good cause to rally behind, goy! Ignore all the corruption in things that actuall fucking matter and fight against the Gaming Journalists! hehehehe…

Everytime we have tried to help you guys in the past, since our initial split with GG in late october early november after Jim left, this happens. Most pollacks even stayed involved until December, but after that shit went downhill so fast no one could.
This shit is exactly the reason why not just us, but others become sick of GG and quit:
1. Lies
2. Revisionism
3. Disinfo
4. False narratives
Especially when all of the above are swallowed as true facts by gamergaters across all the platforms.
The above is an example of one of the worst false narratives we see all the time "hurr gg did more than you ever did pol u never even started it"
1. GamerGate began out a of scandal relating to a radical feminist who had treated her BF like shit.
2. The reason why she was the focus of any attention PRE zoe post, and she was, was because in 2013 on into 2014 Pol users began digging and investigating various prominent feminists and SJWs for signs of malfeasance, often finding it to great lulz. See landwhale and feminist hate threads for example. We ultimately came accross quinn, and when we began investigating her fun stuff started to surface. Not long after the first threads on here came the zoepost, and then it blew up from there. So contrary to popular lies apparently, GG did in fact begin on /pol/. If you were there at the time you know this yourself of course.
3. This sort of narrative is the narrative acid man and mark of /v/ have created. They have made people hate anyone who does not follow their narrative, which is ethics centric, and hate them as an outside evil boogyman. This includes pol. Pol was the driving force of gamergate in the early days, and until up to at least november, yet people are easily forcefed the lie that we never had anything to do with and are just "hurr storm weenie shills"
4. The shill narrative:
Anyone who says anything that factually or categorically disagrees with E celeb EthicsCucks is a hereby a shill by decree of the acid cabal. This has been a very popular narrative since even before GGHQ, but was made mainstream by GGHQ and Mark from /v/.
And we HATE this more than ever. We routinely have dealt with REAL shills for many years, and this sort of narrative is just downright retarded and damaging, it prevents real shills from being caught by turning everyone against each other. In fact it plays right into the hands of actual DNC people because they can hide much more effectively if everyone is being witch hunted, or just use witch hunts to their advantage.
Which they in fact did when they imported the GGHQ shill narrative to /pol/ in late may and early June, nearly causing /pol/ to split into three boards. Thanks to the work of many /pol/lacks and baphomet, the people behind that campaign were outed, their website trashed, and the campaign ended, and pol stayed as one.
But it was the shill narrative that even made it possible. A narrative created by ethics only "moderates" and e-tyrants like acid furfag man.
So. This is why this board will never work. It would be one thing if the above problems had been resolved, or the above attitudes had improved or dissapated, but instead
they are worse now than ever before
Kotaku in action nearly succesfully launched a campaign against Milo for the pedobutts article, and may still. Acid man BANNED discussion of pedobutts during the time research was being done for that article.
Case and fucking point. Some pol users would probably be willing to help again, even now,
if any of this stuff was changing or could change
But its not, and it can't. And it can't because the nearly 10 thousand anons who created GamerGate and made it succesful are long gone now, gone because it became infested with hundreds of miniature tyrants, reddit sjws, and in general raging attention whore pissbabies like Acid Man. There are at least 100 others like him by the way, fun fact.
I appreciate what you are trying to do Board Owner, but it can't work when you have SJWs actively entrenched in whats left of the dying corpse that is GamerGate. It really sucks, but thats who and what they are, they came here, infiltrated, and successfully destroyed it and there is nothing anyone can do now. Warnings were given at the time it was happening, and they were ignored.
Good luck though.
SA thread
Currently SA is refusing to ban Butts

Well this is a rather interesting article with some names. I don't think I have to remind you guys that the video game battleground is important for these socialists to sink their teeth into.

GamerGhazi
Benghazi was a real scandal where the US sent arms to Qatar which shipped them to the Taliban which used them on US forces in Afghanistan. http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2014/11/10/the-benghazi-brief-3/
Calling themselves GamerGhazi is just another sign that these people are idiots.
The subreddit was created by FEMACampCounselor who has a very un-SJW imgur gallery https://archive.today/xLyy0
Gamaliel posts to GamerGhazi. Posting to KiA is grounds for being banned from Wikipedia.

Video Game Censorship Intentions
Post evidence of people saying they intend to censor certain kinds of games or game-related artwork, story concepts, etc.
Ernest Adams called for getting rid of every "big-boobed bimbo" in video games and compared large-breasted women to blackface minstrel shows.
The people yelling at Lionhead Studios for their Cleavage Day picture included Kirtaner, Izzy Galvez, Wesley Copeland of IGN, Chris White of 2K Games, Casey Malone of Google, and several others.

Okay Goys
Lets get started what are some good targets for digging?
I've been looking into SRS and Goonsquad for a while.
I'd like to look at whatever anyone has on DIGRA and where we can find more so we can air more dirty laundry personally cus they are a juicy target because of her.
