Last January, Berkeley Latinx Studies major / nonbinary pronoun activist Pablo “They” Gomez was arrested on charges of murdering a woman he didn’t know, schoolteacher Emilie Inman, and stabbing nonfatally fellow SJW activist Kiana Schmitt. The stabby little social justice jihadi was found sane enough to stand trial on a 2-1 vote. Monday was the first hearing since then.
Gov. Jerry Brown, Zillionaire Tom Steyer, and They
From Berkeleyside:
UC Berkeley student told friend after fatal stabbing: ‘It’s your time now’
By Emilie Raguso Nov. 13, 2017, 10:36 p.m.
… Gomez, 22, was also a UC Berkeley student at the time of the killing for which they* have been charged. They wore red jailhouse scrubs over a purple T-shirt at the Alameda County Superior Court hearing in Oakland, and kept their small hands clasped together on the table for much of the day. At times, they propped up their elbows and rested their face on their hands as they listened without reaction to the testimony that would determine the direction of the case.
* Gomez’s pronoun is “they.” Read more about personal gender pronouns. Each instance of “they” in this story refers to Gomez alone.
Authorities say Gomez fatally stabbed a stranger, 27-year-old Emilie Inman, at her Ashby Avenue home near Alta Bates hospital on Jan. 6. …
Defense attorney George Arroyo, with the Alameda County public defender’s office, kept his questions brief. He focused on testimony related to his client’s possible break with reality during events that led up to the killing and the non-fatal stabbing of Gomez’s friend, Kiana Schmitt.
The star witness and her socially constructed eyebrows.
… As her small black service dog, which wore a bright green vest, at times licked tears from her face, Schmitt described her memories, to prosecutor John Ullom, of the day she said she was stabbed by her “close friend,” Gomez. The two had known each other for about a year as of January when the incidents took place.
Gomez, Schmitt and several other people had driven up to Berkeley together in Schmitt’s car from Southern California on Thursday, Jan. 5, she said. Cal’s spring semester was to begin the next week. Along the way, Schmitt said Gomez talked passionately about a midnight ceremony Gomez had planned for the night ahead for Día de Los Reyes, or Three Kings Day. The ceremony is also called Epiphany.
Gomez talked during the drive about having had visions and spiritual transformations, and described the upcoming ceremony as an important spiritual event in their Mexican indigenous culture. Gomez also described plans to leave Berkeley the next day for Mexico, Schmitt said.
Later that night, at UC Berkeley’s Afro House student cooperative, Gomez brought a number of items to be used for the ceremony, including a bandana, a flower and a lighter. They laid the items out in a sort of altar, Schmitt recalled. …
… Some of the friends, including Gomez, went “to smoke.” …
About an hour later, Gomez appeared suddenly and was obviously “distressed,” Schmitt said. A scarf was draped over their body. They wore no shirt or pants, and were barefoot. …
“They ran up to my car, motioned for me to open the door and then they got in,” she said, of Gomez. She noticed that Gomez’s hair, which had been waist-length the prior night, had been cut very short. When Schmitt called her friend by the name “Pablo,” Gomez answered, “I’m not Pablo. I’m Ray now,” according to her testimony.
Gomez directed Schmitt to drive to a friend’s house south of campus … According to later court testimony by Berkeley Police Sgt. Peter Hong, the case agent, Gomez did have a friend who used to live at the house, but she had moved out a year prior. That woman told police Gomez had only visited her there once, but that the two were friends through “activist circles” and would see each other at “activist events.”
As Schmitt described what happened next, she began to get upset. Throughout her testimony, she pet her dog often, stroking the small animal’s ears and holding the dog close to her chest.
Schmitt said Gomez was “talking to themselves, muttering,” and told her, “Oh, there’s a woman in the sky. Can you see her?”
“What are you talking about?” Schmitt asked Gomez. …
At noon Monday, when Grant described trying to find Emilie Inman’s body, it was the first time her name had been mentioned in the court proceedings, which had begun before 10 a.m. …
Emilie Inman, RIP
As he described the scene, Inman’s parents held hands, and her father cried audibly for the first time throughout the day’s proceedings.
… Judge Desautels said it did appear, based on the evidence, that Gomez could have committed murder… She ordered Gomez to continue to be held without bail, and ordered Gomez to return to court Nov. 27 for the next hearing in the case.
Earlier in the morning, before the proceedings began, Inman’s mother attempted to take a moment to introduce herself to, and acknowledge, a woman on the other side of the courtroom she thought might be Gomez’s mother.
“Are you Mrs. Gomez? I’m Emilie’s mom,” she said.
“We don’t want to talk right now,” said a young man seated beside the woman, curtly.
“I’m not asking any questions,” said Inman’s mother, shaken.
In the afternoon, Inman’s mother broke down outside the courtroom, weeping, and speaking loudly in the direction of the handful people who attended the hearing on Gomez’s behalf.
“Are you human beings to be like that?” she asked, choking with grief. “We are all human beings.”
As I asked back in January:
What are the chances that They was pushed over the edge into homicidal rage by the Trump Derangement Syndrome and Anti-White Hate promoted by respectable media and authority figures?
Anything new on the Somali cop who killed the Minneapolis white woman for no good reason. Mohamed Noor.
Anyway, Steve's terms "pronoun crisis" & "world war T"....makes me laugh every time....
The murderer, Pablo They Gomez
Kills women in front of they homez.
He favors a knife
For taking folks’ life
Over popping a cap in they domez.

I wonder what this stabby little SJW’s current enrollment status is at UCB. Betcha dollars to donuts he’s on leave, not expelled, and after some bogus light prison sentence in a minimum security facility, the little dope returns to campus.
Do the goodthinkers allow all of us to choose anything we want as personal pronoun of choice, by way of a bolt-on signaling monkier?
This could be fun!

In response to Steve’s question at the end: Reading only the story extracts here, the lead-up to the crime is about a thousand times weirder than “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” This sounds like the killer was involved in a cult ritual, involving an actual human sacrifice. Satanism comes to mind, but given the killer’s ethnicity it may have involved some kind of “Aztec” re-enactment.
If that’s the case, there‘s a bigger story to be investigated, and more people to be prosecuted, than a single deranged killer.
More evidence that we need to build the Wall. Many of them.
This dude is a crazy little murder machine. Is it really a good idea for the press to treat his delusions as if they were real?
Here is your required reading before using “they” (or alternately “Yo Gomez”) and, as a warning for your next visit to New York City, the 31 (current) NY City gender categories.

https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/cchr/downloads/pdf/publications/GenderID_Card2015.pdf
I'm wondering, what's correct: "they holds a knife", or "they hold a knife"?
If that’s the case, there‘s a bigger story to be investigated, and more people to be prosecuted, than a single deranged killer.
More evidence that we need to build the Wall. Many of them.
This person is obviously mentally deranged. And yet the journalist feels the need to support this man’s insanity by using a plural pronoun – even if it renders the article nearly unreadable.
This dude is a crazy little murder machine. Is it really a good idea for the press to treat his delusions as if they were real?
And not only that: it appears that the girl testifying against the stabber—his surviving victim—ALSO keeps using the pronoun “they” in her description of the crime. Is that for real? Or is it an unacknowledged editorial emendation by the reporter?
The latter would be a breach of ethics, I feel. But the former is simply bizarre, on the level of Stockholm Syndrome.

Or maybe They was into some kind of cartelista Santa Muerte death cult?
(On the other hand, from posts I’ve read here over the past year, there’s an argument to be made that Berkeley *itself* is a death cult.)
The Stranger within my gate,
He may be true or kind,
But he does not talk my talk--
I cannot feel his mind.
I see the face and the eyes and the mouth,
But not the soul behind.
The men of my own stock,
They may do ill or well,
But they tell the lies I am wanted to,
They are used to the lies I tell;
And we do not need interpreters
When we go to buy or sell.
The Stranger within my gates,
He may be evil or good,
But I cannot tell what powers control--
What reasons sway his mood;
Nor when the Gods of his far-off land
Shall repossess his blood.
The men of my own stock,
Bitter bad they may be,
But, at least, they hear the things I hear,
And see the things I see;
And whatever I think of them and their likes
They think of the likes of me.
This was my father's belief
And this is also mine:
Let the corn be all one sheaf--
And the grapes be all one vine,
Ere our children's teeth are set on edge
By bitter bread and wine.
Were we living in a normal, pre-1965 America of fairly homogenous Whites and not the current dystopian hellhole of a (((country))) controlled by those who want us dead, Pablo would've been kicked back to his hometown favela LONG AGO.
It is sickening to see such genetic garbage, invited into to OUR NATION by the Self-Chosen tribe of criminal elites, continually used as biological weapons of demographic and racial warfare against brainwashed and helpless White women.
“Mad, bad and dangerous to know” – sums him up, really.
Perhaps less Byron than Gershwin?
“The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you've changed my life
No, no, they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me.”
I repeat my proposition that we should elevate *fuck off* to the status of a pronoun and then use it freely.
Well, freely in contexts like this.
It could be bowdlerised to f*ck *ff.
HE ATTENDED BERKELEY AND WENT BESERKELY
America has a very high rate of prison incarceration, but a very low rate of compulsory referral of the mentally ill to secure mental hospitals. Whilst the latter is a problem all over the developed world, it is particularly marked in the US. In the early Post-War period, a deranged fruitcake like Gomez would have been in a secure mental hospital, doped up to his eyeballs with anti-psychotic drugs.
He would not have had the opportunity to attend Berkeley and go Beserkely !
Pro-active internment of the violently deranged in mental hospitals used to keep a lot of us civilians safe.
Ahhhh, for the bad old days....
This dude is a crazy little murder machine. Is it really a good idea for the press to treat his delusions as if they were real?
I had the same thought, Nigel, when I read the full story.

Steve has posted before about how non-describing of perps endangers the public by deliberately avoiding accuracy to appease PC fetishists. The rot has gotten so bad now that even stabbing victims themselves are remembering to use inaccurate descriptions of their attackers in order to enable their escape, confuse the police and appease PC fetishists.
Attention Miss Schmitt: when you are an accessory to murder, you can drop the PC word games! Shit's real now.
I shouldn’t laugh, it’s probably a perfectly good disability scam.
There is a big anti fake service dog movement building. Some states have enacted laws deeming presenting a dog as a service dog is fraud and either a misdeameanor or a felony. Thanks be to God and health inspectors
Either way, a bigger story, right? You’d think a reporter would be at least curious about it, maybe ask the prosecutor if there’s a broader investigation going on. If there’s a death cult operating out of Berkeley, maybe people should know about that.
(On the other hand, from posts I’ve read here over the past year, there’s an argument to be made that Berkeley *itself* is a death cult.)
Uh-oh, journalist. You know what they say about people with small hands. Serious disrespect here. Better look out when they get out of prison.
Breaking Bad covered that semi-indigenous cult. You can find clips on youTube.
It sounds like a tiny synchronized swimming team.
They sound like a tiny – hater
Way ahead of you

By the way, I don’t see any references in this article to whether the star witness — who, let us not forget, according to her own testimony drove the murderer to his murder in her own car and drove him away — is badly scarred.
Is she the only surviving witness that Pablo was the one wielding the knife?
Being a stereotypist, it would seem implausible to me that a coed would butcher a woman. But then her testimony doesn’t sound that plausible either, other than there’s a dead body. So somebody had to do it, and more likely the male Berkeley student than the female Berkeley student, even if students at California’s top flagship public university don’t actually murder people very often at all.
So, if the prosecution’s chief witness is all scarred up facially, then I would assume her story is valid because coeds don’t disfigure themselves very often.
On the other hand, if her wounds had proved superficial and not at all damaging to her looks … well, all we know for sure is that two friends drove to a third person’s house, the third person was murdered, and then the same two friends drove away. Now, one of the those two is testifying against the other one.
If you post in Spanish, maybe defense attorney Arroyo will use them in his opening remarks at trial.
However, I assume (perhaps naively) that the girl’s level of complicity would have been determined by the police during the 10-month investigation. Given the bald ascertainable facts as you state them—unembellished by the bizarre account of the lead-up to the crime—she would have been under suspicion early on.
We want the justice system to favor White girls over tranny Mexicans. If it's her word against his, he should lose every single time.
The result we want: Pablo Gomez out of our society. Why worry about whether she's lying or not?
Female psychopath murders husband, teenage son takes the blame, says he'was defending mom from Domestic Violemce, Court rules no case to answer.
Detectives aren't stupid, so they go over to mom's house to spitroast her anytime they like for the next 6 months, until they find another one.
They's case sounds similar.
And not only that: it appears that the girl testifying against the stabber—his surviving victim—ALSO keeps using the pronoun “they” in her description of the crime. Is that for real? Or is it an unacknowledged editorial emendation by the reporter?
The latter would be a breach of ethics, I feel. But the former is simply bizarre, on the level of Stockholm Syndrome.
if you swing a dead cat in berkley or in this cash a sharp knife you hit a moon bat, “they” needs to get out more.
I have just finished reading this. It 2:44 pm in Thessaloniki, but I am going to bed now. Hopefully, my brain will feel less f … cked up when I wake up.
My father was a trannie back in the days before it was fashionable and I thought I could handle this weird sh i t like this and keep my sanity intact.
I was wrong.
Steve, please publish a trigger warning before posting stuff like this
Diversity sure is whacking the Inman family over the head a few times.
That’s another one that should be deported….
Anyway, Steve’s terms “pronoun crisis” & “world war T”….makes me laugh every time….
Comments on the article are closed. I guess that’s a good sign.
This dude is a crazy little murder machine. Is it really a good idea for the press to treat his delusions as if they were real?
No, it’s not. You don’t accomodate the skewed views of depressives, manics, or other pathological individuals because doing so just reinforces their delusions.
Not really. And maybe they identify as Otherkin, bigot. Welcome to the future you chose.
"You voted for this."
"Remember that these are the people you support."
"Why are you not applauding?"
Etc.
No conversions yet.
But it does seem rhetorically to ring-fence their madness and warn younger generation observers away.
Needs more research.
This anti-White nonsense ends when asset liquidation squads financially wipe out plutocrat shysters such as Tom Steyer. Plutocrats are not going to give up power without a fight; they will have to be dislodged by pro-White Americans who decide to take power. It is the globalized plutocrats who are pushing the nation-wrecking mass immigration policies that allows the Inman woman’s killer to invade the United States.
The non-White who killed the beautiful Inman woman should never have been in the United States. Tom Steyer and Shelly Adelson and Paul Singer and Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates and the Koch boys and all the other shyster plutocrats who buy our politicians must have their financial and political power taken from them.
The opportunity to liquidate the political power and wealth of the globalized plutocrats will come when the next global financial implosion hits. Patriots will arise who will legally push the plutocrats out of power. The plutocrats know their time is up, that is why they have used monetary extremism from the globalized central banks to try to maintain their wealth and power. They will be financially liquidated by patriotic Americans of European Christian ancestry who have had enough of the anti-White nonsense.
Debt and demography is the name of the game. Monetary extremism and mass immigration are being used as weapons to destroy the historic American nation.
What an idiot this young man was! This bleeding heart white lady approached the latinx killa’s mom to do some weird “power-of-forgiveness-and-mother-love” shtick and form some bizarre female bond with her.
This weird ritual of reconciliation could have saved the wacky latinx killa or at least reduced the latinx’ sentence. Compare this to the South African case 5-10 years ago in which the white parents bonded with their daughter’s killers, started some foundation and even hired their daughter’s killers when they got out of jail!
Yet the young latinx man decides he needs to “protect” the latinx killa’s mom from the dead girl’s mom and keeps them apart.
Even the author of the article sees how stupid this move was. She noted that the white lady was “shaken” when her reconciliation/forgiveness/submission gesture was rejected.
But nah. Even odds on them going onto whatever lies beyond thinking AT LEAST I WASNT RACIIIIIIST....
And not only that: it appears that the girl testifying against the stabber—his surviving victim—ALSO keeps using the pronoun “they” in her description of the crime. Is that for real? Or is it an unacknowledged editorial emendation by the reporter?
The latter would be a breach of ethics, I feel. But the former is simply bizarre, on the level of Stockholm Syndrome.
I wondered the same thing. According to the report, not only did Miss Schmitt keep using the absurd pronoun “they”, she also had the PC presence of mind to use the inaccurate pronoun in the immediate aftermath of a brutal murder when she herself was stabbed!
Steve has posted before about how non-describing of perps endangers the public by deliberately avoiding accuracy to appease PC fetishists.

Attention Miss Schmitt: when you are an accessory to murder, you can drop the PC word games! Shit’s real now.
Like you said, shit got real here - there'll be a murder trail for the poor young pretty lady. People in Berserkely were screwed up 30-50 years ago, but this is screwed up to a different level. Reality to them is just another concept than may be just as confusing as the proper use of pronouns.
I can't say they all deserve it, but I'm sure the parents of Emily will want to get the hell out of there.
So they stabbed a couple people, killing one.
What were they supposed to do when those white bitches refused to step back and give them power?
Why is it that young murder victims are the only kind of females in the MSM I can reliably expect to be pretty?
Something primal about the connection between beauty and tragedy that our otherwise upside-down society can’t deny.
Whenever another one of these ridiculous outrages occurs, I like to remind my liberal friends and relatives of this fact.
“You voted for this.”
“Remember that these are the people you support.”
“Why are you not applauding?”
Etc.
No conversions yet.
But it does seem rhetorically to ring-fence their madness and warn younger generation observers away.
Impossible to tell whether a human being identified as “they” would be offended.
Also, don’t insult those who proudly identify as being small penised, as if there’s something wrong with that. (Not to mention those with small penises who identify as having large penises.)
Her testimony seemed to me like it was trying to establish mitigating circumstances for They. (Temporary insanity due to drugs).
Good points.
If you post in Spanish, maybe defense attorney Arroyo will use them in his opening remarks at trial.

I just hope they don’t keep addressing the defendant as “they” in court. But who knows in these crazy times!
It sounds like a tiny synchronized swimming team.

In the posted news account, there are three persons, Inman, the deceased, Schmitt, the injured, and Gomez, the alleged assailant.
In Schmitt’s account, it appears that Schmitt became separated from Inman and Gomez, Gomez returned to beg an automobile ride from Schmitt, where Gomez appeared agitated and was speaking obliquely of how Inman was now dead?
At what point, according to Schmitt’s account of events, was Schmitt attacked and injured by Gomez? Forget about Schmitt; the reporting on these events does not make sense.
But Emilia Inman didn’t know him.
He would not have had the opportunity to attend Berkeley and go Beserkely !
Pro-active internment of the violently deranged in mental hospitals used to keep a lot of us civilians safe.
Its difficult to put people in mental hospitals if the entire society is insane.
The question of the girl’s facial scarring likewise struck me as another missing detail in this poorly-written story. The reporter makes the effort to provide the novelistic detail of a lapdog licking the girl’s face as she testifies, but says nothing about the face itself. Incredible.
However, I assume (perhaps naively) that the girl’s level of complicity would have been determined by the police during the 10-month investigation. Given the bald ascertainable facts as you state them—unembellished by the bizarre account of the lead-up to the crime—she would have been under suspicion early on.
Would ‘differently-penised’ be okay? On reflection, probably not since it would be othering of they. Different from what, bigots!?!
.. spirits, that is.
Chuffin Nora. When I were a lad, this sort of person (the They's of this world) got awarded a lobotomy, not a scholarship. And medical science applauded.

The reporter delivered a lot of detail in a limited number of hours.
No question there might be a good book in the offing about this case; but drafting it in a news story should take a back seat to addressing the questions an intelligent reader would have about the case.
He would not have had the opportunity to attend Berkeley and go Beserkely !

That was before Geraldo Rivera and the ACLU got involved.
Ahhhh, for the bad old days….
At what age do lady activists switch from dogs to cats?
So Schmitt drove they to Inman’s murder. She must feel guilty.
Also notice how the Berkeleyside account suddenly gets all vague and Victorian when it comes to the details of the murder itself. She drives they there and….. Inman’s parents cry but we don’t know why.
I also understand now why Pablo has been found to be sane - after he committed the crime he had enough presence of mind to hide the body, enlist Schmitt to help clean up the crime scene, threaten her if she did not go along with the plan, etc. Someone who is criminally insane (a high threshold) doesn't have that level of organizational skills.
Given the testimony, I don't think that Pablo is getting off easy. He is going to be doing some hard time for a straight up murder.
I was being ungenerous with the modifier “poorly-written”; it’s competent work. My point was that the reporter presents vivid novelistic details—the dog, the defendant’s finger tent, the little drama between the mothers—but leaves out details that would be relevant to crime reporting.
No question there might be a good book in the offing about this case; but drafting it in a news story should take a back seat to addressing the questions an intelligent reader would have about the case.

The Race to Solar-Power Africa
American startups are competing to bring electricity to communities that remain off the grid.
By Bill McKibben https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/06/26/the-race-to-solar-power-africa
________
This is a revolution same as modern well drilling is for rural Africans. Most Africans live off the power grid. It never reached them. Now solar is coming to them mostly via American investors and companies (not Chinese ones) who think they can turn a profit. Now they can get enough crucial electric to:
charge cell/smart phones / tablets
refrigerate medicines
power small LED TVs
radios
some lighting at night
and more
IOW not full blown access to electricity but life changing micro-access to electricity
It's almost as if the problem isn't really infrastructure in the first place...
This is a reason that makes me hav some doubts about global warming claims.
The green revolution and antibiotics and European aid has meant catastrophic population growth in africa and accelerated decline of the environment.
Meanwhile, European policy makers are trying to phase out the internal combustion engine and car makers are embracing electric as a result.
What if the next global economic crisis comes from this environmental jihad?
Please explain how American investors and companies (not Chinese ones) are supposed to profit on this.
You guys support pedophiles (Roy Moore) and sex fiends (Trump)
You don’t get to have an opinion because of your gross unearned privilege
You don't get to have an opinion because you're a grown man who just used the word "gross" in an attempt at an actual argument. So we're even.
Please try to troll more on-point in future.
But the new left keeps telling us that "Nazis" are not entitled to have any opinion. Gen. Silveria tells the (non-existent) racists of the Air Force Academy not that he disagrees with their opinions but that they need to "get out" - their opinions are totally illegitimate and if you air them you will be expelled (and keep in mind that the Academy is a government run institution where the 1st Amendment is supposed to apply). I think this is because the left has lost confidence in their own ideas, just as happened in Communist countries. They know that they are never going to be able to sell their hateful ideas to the majority of whites so the only alternative is to suppress the speech of those that disagree with them.
No question there might be a good book in the offing about this case; but drafting it in a news story should take a back seat to addressing the questions an intelligent reader would have about the case.
A lot of heavyweight nonfiction writers live in Berkeley, such as Michael Lewis.
I recommended the story to one of the mid-tier Berkeley writers as a How We Live Now case study. If there turns out to be a murder mystery twist it would make a good book. But even as a plain vanilla murder it would make a good 10k magazine article.
(BTW, does 10K refer to the word count of the hypothetical magazine article, or the fee for writing/selling it?)

I hope for the best for them, but I’m dubious that ad hoc measures work so well for infrastructure. It feels like it’ll run into problems if they attempt to scale, not to the least being the lack of a common and interoperable standard.
The notion of “economic diversity” as described was interesting. If somehow unicorns manage to power up centralized hubs which are wealthier than the outlying regions, I wonder if it’ll lead to a kind of corporate city-state due to the greater power of the city combined with the necessity of relying on the company that built its infrastructure.

Although … we may suspect that while the Prog establishment is firmly against special treatment of lunatics when it comes to mental institutionalization, they will be firmly in favor of special treatment of lunatics when it comes to convicting them of murders. The insanity defense is literally special pleading against equal protection.
(On the other hand, from posts I’ve read here over the past year, there’s an argument to be made that Berkeley *itself* is a death cult.)
Berkeley is a DRUG cult. That’s its draw and its energy source. Notice that Mr.’s Gomez went off “to smoke”. Smoke what? A menthol cigarette? A Swisher Sweet? Most likely the green tobacco or even something laced with cocaine or another mind-alterer. Drugs and crazy go together like strawberry and shortcake.
“Gomez talked during the drive about having had visions and spiritual transformations, and described the upcoming ceremony as an important spiritual event in their Mexican indigenous culture. Gomez also described plans to leave Berkeley the next day for Mexico, Schmitt said.”
So the defense is that it is culturally appropriate for Mexicans to kill people?
Remember the “Black Rage” excuse for murder back in the 1980s?
“As Schmitt described what happened next, she began to get upset. Throughout her testimony, she pet her dog often, stroking the small animal’s ears and holding the dog close to her chest.”
These people deserve each other.

The Race to Solar-Power Africa
American startups are competing to bring electricity to communities that remain off the grid.
By Bill McKibben https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/06/26/the-race-to-solar-power-africa
________This is a revolution same as modern well drilling is for rural Africans. Most Africans live off the power grid. It never reached them. Now solar is coming to them mostly via American investors and companies (not Chinese ones) who think they can turn a profit. Now they can get enough crucial electric to:
charge cell/smart phones / tablets
refrigerate medicines
power small LED TVs
radios
some lighting at night
and more
IOW not full blown access to electricity but life changing micro-access to electricity
Stop! I’ve heard this story before. Just as soon as Africa gets new dams built / new cultivars bred / new continental fiber optic laid /[insert fashionable infrastructure project here] the economic powerhouse that Africa was always waiting to be will be unleashed! Yet, somehow, it never quite comes to pass. At most, Africa ends up with more people in the same old squalor. Contractors and local strongmen get richer. Western taxpayers get a few billion dollars poorer.
It’s almost as if the problem isn’t really infrastructure in the first place…
What happened to a laptop for every African child? What happened to Stephen Hawking's search for the African Einstein?
You don't get to have an opinion because of your gross unearned privilege
Who said anything about sex, Tiny?
Please try to troll more on-point in future.
Cheap solar panels that can be put on the roof of your shack and generate enough juice to keep your smartphone charged sound like something Africans can handle, and will be a big boost in their standard of living.
Supposedly, Berkeley University alumni have superior IQs.
Possible break with reality. Right.
Close friend Gomez. Shouldn’t that be “friends?”
Hmmm.
Perhaps less Byron than Gershwin?
“The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you’ve changed my life
No, no, they can’t take that away from me
No, they can’t take that away from me.”
Obviously, Emilie Inman was the pre-Raphaelite looking beauty that Gomez aspired to be, but never could be – so in the ultimate expression of envy morphed into control – he destroyed that what he could never be in order to feel better about himself.
It *really is* as simple, nasty and childish as that.
Don’t let anyone kid you otherwise.

Isn’t it better for the world’s environment to keep people who are off the grid, off the grid? Once on, their demands for it will probably increase. I’ve heard that the manufacturing of solar panels (I’m making the assumption these would be used in Africa) has a negative environmental impact. Why increase the world’s desire and demand for energy?
This is a reason that makes me hav some doubts about global warming claims.
This weird ritual of reconciliation could have saved the wacky latinx killa or at least reduced the latinx' sentence. Compare this to the South African case 5-10 years ago in which the white parents bonded with their daughter's killers, started some foundation and even hired their daughter's killers when they got out of jail!
Yet the young latinx man decides he needs to "protect" the latinx killa's mom from the dead girl's mom and keeps them apart.
Even the author of the article sees how stupid this move was. She noted that the white lady was "shaken" when her reconciliation/forgiveness/submission gesture was rejected.
That detail made me sick. Altruism addiction is not a pretty sight. There is a place for forgiveness and reconciliation, but it’s not on the first day of your daughter’s murder trial.
Great moments in Transracial & Transsexual Lunacy!!!!
‘Transracial’ White Man Identifies as Filipino (woman)
One of those people is a tranny Mexican and the other is a White girl.
We want the justice system to favor White girls over tranny Mexicans. If it’s her word against his, he should lose every single time.
The result we want: Pablo Gomez out of our society. Why worry about whether she’s lying or not?
If the ends justify the means and we decide that some people should automatically be believed over others, then you can forget about justice. The goddess of Justice wears a blindfold for a good reason. This week your guys are in charge so white is favored over brown, but next week the other guys are in charge so it's the other way 'round. This raises the stakes on who is in charge WAY too high. This is why, in places like Kenya, elections are matters of life and death and people are willing to commit murder to make sure their side wins. In the old America, elections were low stakes affairs and it was good.
Also notice how the Berkeleyside account suddenly gets all vague and Victorian when it comes to the details of the murder itself. She drives they there and..... Inman's parents cry but we don't know why.
I’ve now read the article itself. Berkeleyside DOES go into more detail. Unfortunately the detail makes it clear that Schmitt acted partly as an accomplice, helping to clean up the crime scene, etc. She may have been acting under duress but she was clearly involved. We are getting her version of the story and it doesn’t make her sound very good so the truth may be even worse.
I also understand now why Pablo has been found to be sane – after he committed the crime he had enough presence of mind to hide the body, enlist Schmitt to help clean up the crime scene, threaten her if she did not go along with the plan, etc. Someone who is criminally insane (a high threshold) doesn’t have that level of organizational skills.
Given the testimony, I don’t think that Pablo is getting off easy. He is going to be doing some hard time for a straight up murder.
He should end up dead.
I do think it's weird that she drove the perp away fron the scene, but it sounds like your typical weak willed female to me.
I do think it's not implausible that drugs (something more potent than cannabis) played a role in this incident though. "Ritual" in Berkeley is often synonymous with drug use.
My father was a trannie back in the days before it was fashionable and I thought I could handle this weird sh i t like this and keep my sanity intact.
I was wrong.
Steve, please publish a trigger warning before posting stuff like this
If you live in Greece and your sanity is still intact, don’t worry, we can withstand anything Steve throws at us.
Why is it that the use of the plural pronoun makes me think of Gollum? Was Tolkien being prescient with his characterization of Smeagol’s descent into madness or just lucky?
The coddling and encouragement of delusion will always end badly for someone.
I remember reading Yeats account of the fin de siecle period in Britain and Ireland and then as the century turned everyone seemed to regather their senses and move back towards what passes for normal in the artistic community. I keep thinking we will reach a point where the vast majority of people will shake their heads, wake up, and go “Whoa” that was a close call. I keep thinking that but I see no evidence of it.
Indeed:
Kipling’s “The Stranger”:
The Stranger within my gate,
He may be true or kind,
But he does not talk my talk–
I cannot feel his mind.
I see the face and the eyes and the mouth,
But not the soul behind.
The men of my own stock,
They may do ill or well,
But they tell the lies I am wanted to,
They are used to the lies I tell;
And we do not need interpreters
When we go to buy or sell.
The Stranger within my gates,
He may be evil or good,
But I cannot tell what powers control–
What reasons sway his mood;
Nor when the Gods of his far-off land
Shall repossess his blood.
The men of my own stock,
Bitter bad they may be,
But, at least, they hear the things I hear,
And see the things I see;
And whatever I think of them and their likes
They think of the likes of me.
This was my father’s belief
And this is also mine:
Let the corn be all one sheaf–
And the grapes be all one vine,
Ere our children’s teeth are set on edge
By bitter bread and wine.
"Shall repossess his blood"
That's the couplet that sends a chill through me as I reflect on this grim story.
The Stranger within my gate,
He may be true or kind,
But he does not talk my talk--
I cannot feel his mind.
I see the face and the eyes and the mouth,
But not the soul behind.
The men of my own stock,
They may do ill or well,
But they tell the lies I am wanted to,
They are used to the lies I tell;

The result that I want is for truth and justice to be served. Maybe they both belong in jail?

The time for that cucky big brain idealism has passed. Baby boomers let that ship sail long ago.
Now it's who-whom all the way down.
It gives me no pleasure to say that this may be a case where the younger apprehend the situation better than the older. The courts, elections and culture have been pulling the blindfold from the goddess of Justice for a while now. For eight of the past nine years the other guys have been in charge and were unapologetic in their favoritism. It appears that certain people here are already willing to commit murder to make sure their side wins. Elections are already becoming high-stakes through no wish of our own.
If it is going to be be all identity politics all the time, or as 27 year old puts it, "who-whom all the way down", then it's about time time we start playing this high-stakes game like it matters. Because it does. And we're the only ones who haven't figured it out yet.
Steve has posted before about how non-describing of perps endangers the public by deliberately avoiding accuracy to appease PC fetishists. The rot has gotten so bad now that even stabbing victims themselves are remembering to use inaccurate descriptions of their attackers in order to enable their escape, confuse the police and appease PC fetishists.
Attention Miss Schmitt: when you are an accessory to murder, you can drop the PC word games! Shit's real now.
I especially like your last paragraph, A.M. I don’t think this is some kind of Stockholm Syndrome deal. People are so screwed up nowadays, and an order of magnitude more in places like this, that it is more important to stick with the ultra-PC stupidity than get at any truth.
Like you said, shit got real here – there’ll be a murder trail for the poor young pretty lady. People in Berserkely were screwed up 30-50 years ago, but this is screwed up to a different level. Reality to them is just another concept than may be just as confusing as the proper use of pronouns.
I can’t say they all deserve it, but I’m sure the parents of Emily will want to get the hell out of there.
RE: Latinx death cults….
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolfo_Constanzo
I remember that story too. I was a little boy living in San Antonio at the time. That was one of the scariest stories I ever heard, and it made a lot of area parents forbid their kids going to Mexico for Spring Break.
It does bring me back to my earlier comment: If there's a death cult operating in Berkeley, you'd think people would want to know that. Does that possibility figure in any of the reporting being done on the story? Or in any police statements? I'm genuinely curious.

As in "Santiago Matamoros" = "St. James the Muslim Killer".
He is the patron saint of Spain.
Many English speakers are familar with the fact that other European languages have different pronouns for the second person singular versus the second person plural (thou versus you in older forms of English). They also know that the plural form is used even as a singular with people who are older, not well familiar or, in former times, higher status (ie, the singular form was only for peers).
What is less well known is that in some languages of Europe, especially those influenced by Hungarian culture (and of course in Hungarian itself), nobility were addressed using the third person plural functioning as the second person singular. Eg, ‘how are their Majesties today?’ on addressing the king.
Goes to show the pedestal these xits think ‘they’ are entitled to.

The tranny wetback is clearly insane and I would not trust his testimony further than I could throw it.
Even so, here’s why I care about the truthfulness of the girl’s word: one reason I prefer white societies to other societies is that people generally don’t go about happily driving around murderers with anything appropriate banal frequency. One way that we got there was by fair and iron-handed application of the law in the first decades of the industrial revolution, when murder was rampant, in some countries (England for example) effectively hanging most of the murderous elements out of our midst. After this incredible progress, progressives want to halt it (by not continuing to apply the law to a certain segment of the population which happens to have a different skin color and is “disparately impacted”) and dilute it (by importing violent and traumatized savages who do not know nor respect our laws). I don’t want to be like them in any way.
It's almost as if the problem isn't really infrastructure in the first place...
In other news. . .
What happened to a laptop for every African child? What happened to Stephen Hawking’s search for the African Einstein?
You don't get to have an opinion because of your gross unearned privilege
This is one of the strange things about the Antifa Left. In the old America (remember Berkeley was the home of the “Free Speech” movement) it was believed that everyone, even literal Nazis (not Trump “Nazis” but people who actually wore swastikas and proclaimed themselves to be followers of A.H.) was entitled to free speech. The antidote to badthink was not to ban badthink but to air goodthink and the people would choose goodthink over badthink in the marketplace of ideas. The ACLU defended the Nazis all the way to the US Supreme Court.
But the new left keeps telling us that “Nazis” are not entitled to have any opinion. Gen. Silveria tells the (non-existent) racists of the Air Force Academy not that he disagrees with their opinions but that they need to “get out” – their opinions are totally illegitimate and if you air them you will be expelled (and keep in mind that the Academy is a government run institution where the 1st Amendment is supposed to apply). I think this is because the left has lost confidence in their own ideas, just as happened in Communist countries. They know that they are never going to be able to sell their hateful ideas to the majority of whites so the only alternative is to suppress the speech of those that disagree with them.
That would have made a great film – if the whole story panned out as in reality but finally the parents had invited the released killers to a party and the father had machine gunned the lot of them.
If the ends justify the means and we decide that some people should automatically be believed over others, then you can forget about justice.

Exactly. Which is why separation is the answer. In a multiethnic state the stakes are always being raised, it’s always going to end in disaster or a police state.
This wasn’t a crime, it was justice. As this photo shows, both of these women were taking on the evil ways of Taylor Swift: they were being “aggressively white.”
“They” is a hero. And cowgirl hats and blonde hair should be outlawed.
We want the justice system to favor White girls over tranny Mexicans. If it's her word against his, he should lose every single time.
The result we want: Pablo Gomez out of our society. Why worry about whether she's lying or not?
All in all, wouldn’t it just be better if Mexican trannies were in Mexico?
We have no obligation whatsoever to extend to them the benefits of Anglo legal tradition.
Not only that, we are way better off not doing so. We want these people gone. Official legal discrimination against them is a great way to get them to leave.
You don't get to have an opinion because of your gross unearned privilege
Yes TD, we get the joke. But it’s getting tedious now.
Will “they” be charged with conspiracy?
We should play by "their"' rules.
Charge "them" with lynching.
Hit "them" with RICO!
These defenses are rarely successful. If it can be shown that the criminal took the drugs voluntarily in order to loosen his inhibitions then it has the effect of aggravating and not lessening the crime. The only way this works if is someone slipped something in his drink or if it was an unknown side effect of a prescription drug or something like that.
Pablo is not a Harvey Weinstein or an OJ who is going to be represented by some crack team of lawyers. No SJWs are going to come forward to help because he killed one of their own. They has a mediocre public defender who will raise some token objections and then they is going away for a long, long time. A judge has already pronounced they mentally fit. They don’t have a chance of getting off or even of pleading to a lesser charge. The taxpayers of California will be feeding they for a long, long time unless they gets killed in prison, of which there is a fair chance.
What are the dogs’ pronouns?
Now, you can call me Ray. Or you can call me They. Or you can call me ………………….
Someone had to say it. Can't remember the name of the comedian, though.
I wonder if there is any research or commentary about how different races go nuts in different ways. It seems like whites turn into serial killers or school shooters, blacks turn into drugged up rapists and thieves, southeast asians cut their penises off or engage in self harm, and Mexicans turn into some kind of inspired prophetic violence…
They sound like scum, as does their family.

He should end up dead.
Although there is almost no chance of they being executed by the State, his chances in prison are not that good. At a minimum, they will be “she” and her life will be a living hell.

One Chad in the picture, and this tragedy would still be in development Hell.
Mr Pablo Gomez is a psyco killer. He must be removed from society. It’s not complicated.
There’s material here for a real page-turner, unquestionably, Steve. But it’s all so unremittingly grim; the testimony about the crime left me with the unsettled feeling I get from reading H.P. Lovecraft. A shrewd comment from Almost Missouri–”when you are an accessory to murder, you can drop the PC word games”–is about the only laugh I’ve received on this thread, interesting though it surely is.
(BTW, does 10K refer to the word count of the hypothetical magazine article, or the fee for writing/selling it?)
Have you considered that “they” might identify as a woman and ask to go to a prison for women? It’s happening in some European countries, California can’t be that far behind.
I’m gonna go with “high as a kite and on a bad trip.” When you’re so screwed up that you want your own special pronoun, do you really need to add LSD or bath salts or whatever into the mix?
A “possible break with reality”? Hmmm. They? Whenever could this have happened? One simply never knows.

Technology just makes bad traits of a culture worse.
The green revolution and antibiotics and European aid has meant catastrophic population growth in africa and accelerated decline of the environment.
But the new left keeps telling us that "Nazis" are not entitled to have any opinion. Gen. Silveria tells the (non-existent) racists of the Air Force Academy not that he disagrees with their opinions but that they need to "get out" - their opinions are totally illegitimate and if you air them you will be expelled (and keep in mind that the Academy is a government run institution where the 1st Amendment is supposed to apply). I think this is because the left has lost confidence in their own ideas, just as happened in Communist countries. They know that they are never going to be able to sell their hateful ideas to the majority of whites so the only alternative is to suppress the speech of those that disagree with them.
The Berkeley “Free Speech Movement” was an advertising slogan. What they wanted was the prerogative of their people to engage in agitprop. Not for the free marketplace of ideas to flourish, or whatever.
And Hilary Goddam Clinton is the Nurse Ratched of the whole Asylum.
(BTW, does 10K refer to the word count of the hypothetical magazine article, or the fee for writing/selling it?)
Yes, it does sound a bit like Lovecraft.
How is it legal to use incorrect language in court? Every single time someone says, ‘they’ instead of ‘he’ it’s a factual error. Are they going to say, “magic Kool-Aid juice” instead of blood?
It’s like something from, ‘Through the Looking Glass”.
This story could almost be a skit on Saturday Night Live in some parallel universe.
The insistence of people to use “they” reminds me of the scene in “Silence of the Lambs” where the insane killer repeatedly exhorts the woman down in the well “It puts the lotion on its skin.”
Also like the absurdity of the requierd disclaimer in the Berkeley article explaining that “they” referes solely to Gomez. I’m curious how the reporter would have noted the difference between this person (Gomez), uniformly in the article “they” according to the note, and the need to use a pronoun to describe both Schmitt and Gomez (e.g., “they met outside before driving to Berkeley.”) I guess that the reporter squared the circle by avoiding pronoun use in such cases, referring instead to “Schmitt and Gomez,” or “Several people.”
Finally, I love how the Epiphany – a Catholic holiday – is transmogrified into an “important spiritual event in their Mexican indigenous culture. Is this reverse cultural appropriation? European imperialism? Garden variety historical ignorance?
CA needs to bring back the death penalty so badly.
Give her a break. The poor girl is basically a child, and she was nearly murdered with a knife by someone she thought was her friend. If she wants to bring a little dog into restaurants because of that trauma, I see no problem.
When the critter owner sees that they go find a landlord who doesn't know the law and thinks he or she has to accept the emotional and fake service dogs. Re: cats. A landlord has to accept a service cat. But the no litter box rule still applies. So no fake service cats.
Well, the Gom Jabbar test had to be postponed to next semester due to lack of examinators…
In a way, if this were a movie, wouldn’t it be sensible for the filmmaker to make this the turnng point of the film- cue music, pregnant pause, quizzical closeup expressions, maybe the girl’s feet turning a bit to show confusion and discomfort?
Think about it- he’s literally taking on another Norman Bates moment of identity shift- announcing to the world another step in his abandonment of self and reality, now capable of anything. If the audience had no backstory, they would still instantly know something bad was about to happen. Unfortunately, this chick didn’t, or was too busy suppressing her instincts for the cause- a behavior that has become common that it really deserves its own term.
It just hit me, he undoubtedly didn’t mean “Ray”, but “Rey”. He’s now a transformed Aztec king ready to offer sacrificies to unknown gods that have repossessed his blood. .
My first job was on an assembly line testing electrical components and I worked with a Black tranny who always wore woman’s clothing and ear rings. Talking to him he seemed perfectly normal and didn’t appear to be nuts.
Not correct. The judge only ruled that there is sufficient (minimal) evidence to keep holding “they” for trial.
Any insanity defense will probably be heard during or before the trial.
BTW where was Gomez actually born? One vaguely recalls earlier posts in which he seemed interested in online discussions about the status of illegal immigrants from Central America (El Salvador)?
Kiana Schmitt’s role is at least rather disturbing even on her version of events which is likely self-serving.

General Electric embraced “Ecomagination” environmental nonsense 12 years ago. The company just cut its dividend in half and its shares have been tanking.
Meanwhile, European policy makers are trying to phase out the internal combustion engine and car makers are embracing electric as a result.
What if the next global economic crisis comes from this environmental jihad?
This “they” person will settle in with a partner who will provide protection. Prison is prison of course but “they” will not be particularly tormented.
Where do the decades go?

Thanks for that public service.
I’m wondering, what’s correct: “they holds a knife”, or “they hold a knife”?
“Ray-jay”
Someone had to say it. Can’t remember the name of the comedian, though.
This is gonna make a great inspirational movie.
Crazed transgender activist transcends the accursed white patriarchal reality in the sacred ritual and act of murder of a white girl to the intersectional Aztec gods.
They undergo a Shawshank redemption moment in a men’s prison after having dropped the soap or in a woman’s prison after their 10th assault on women there due to their internalized misogyny that provoked him after his transcendence.
Coming to you soon from the Weinstein company.
I think they generally start one way and stick to it. And having know both types, I think they’re about equally nuts.
NB: “Matamoros” = “Moor killer” = “Muslim killer”.
As in “Santiago Matamoros” = “St. James the Muslim Killer”.
He is the patron saint of Spain.
The apostle, James, is the patron of the Spaniards.
the matamoros part is kind of legendary given that the apostle, James, was long dead before there were any Moors.
Exactly!
We should play by “their”‘ rules.
Charge “them” with lynching.
Hit “them” with RICO!

Bill Saluga, aka Raymond J. Johnson Jr.
Judge: Did they murder her?
Gomez: Who?
Judge: Er, you..
Gomez: Oh, them.
Sorry, I have no idea what any of this means. I think these people are all insane. Perhaps the theories about fluoridation of water are right?
I also understand now why Pablo has been found to be sane - after he committed the crime he had enough presence of mind to hide the body, enlist Schmitt to help clean up the crime scene, threaten her if she did not go along with the plan, etc. Someone who is criminally insane (a high threshold) doesn't have that level of organizational skills.
Given the testimony, I don't think that Pablo is getting off easy. He is going to be doing some hard time for a straight up murder.
I don’t think the article implies that Schmitt actually helped clean up.
I do think it’s weird that she drove the perp away fron the scene, but it sounds like your typical weak willed female to me.
I do think it’s not implausible that drugs (something more potent than cannabis) played a role in this incident though. “Ritual” in Berkeley is often synonymous with drug use.
Ritual de lo habitual!
I'm wondering, what's correct: "they holds a knife", or "they hold a knife"?
Especially because internal combustion auto engines are progressing steadily with turbos and hybrids and some harder to explain in one word improvements that are all improving the power vs. MPG tradeoff. Maza is promising a major engine breakthrough in two years, although that hasn’t gone through the formality of taking place yet.
Mazda has figured out a way to do this (except that if you read the details closely, they are still using spark but what they do is after the spark has set off a mini-explosion of a pre-charge (thus creating a zone of high temperature and pressure) they squirt more raw gasoline into the cylinder and that 2nd charge is the one that spontaneously combusts.
It's almost as if the problem isn't really infrastructure in the first place...
As soon as the pesky Whites and Western Civilization are gone, Africa will belong to either the Jews or Chinese. Neither group will have the slightest qualms about moving the schwartza off of the good land if it suits them. White guilt over colonialism is one of the only reasons Africa is still full of Africans.
Jews have a similar arrangement In America from their 3 strongholds, Los Angeles, Washington DC and NYC.
Please try to troll more on-point in future.
Some forms of technology evolve in the direction of lower levels of organizational skills being required to keep them running. An old fashioned land line telephone system was something Americans did well, but Italians and Russians were bad at, much less third worlders. Cell phone systems require less social capital.
Cheap solar panels that can be put on the roof of your shack and generate enough juice to keep your smartphone charged sound like something Africans can handle, and will be a big boost in their standard of living.
So while an American salivates after a 55 or 60 inch TV (about $1000) a huge step upward for a rural African family is a 24" TV.
What seems likely to me is that the next form of technology to evolve in the direction of lower levels of organization skill being required will be ... international people smuggling.
Formerly, people smugglers needed prearranged rendezvous, cash prepayment, and other ponderous bricks-and-mortar accouterments to conduct business. Widespread African smart phones will enable flash mob-like assembly of recruits, cashless financing and pinpoint logistics.
The "benefits" will be endless...
He would not have had the opportunity to attend Berkeley and go Beserkely !
Pro-active internment of the violently deranged in mental hospitals used to keep a lot of us civilians safe.
I actually feel sorry for the guy (if that is not a hate crime for misgendering they). Just a sad lunatic who should have had some sort of an intervention before they wigged out on drugs and stabbed someone.
Cheap solar panels that can be put on the roof of your shack and generate enough juice to keep your smartphone charged sound like something Africans can handle, and will be a big boost in their standard of living.
It is also really dull to live in a village without television or modern communications. That is why villagers gossip so much and repeat the same stories over and over again. Try living that way before you complain about the modern way of life.
I do think it's weird that she drove the perp away fron the scene, but it sounds like your typical weak willed female to me.
I do think it's not implausible that drugs (something more potent than cannabis) played a role in this incident though. "Ritual" in Berkeley is often synonymous with drug use.
The guy (if it is not a hate crime to call him this) sounds like he is really fucked up rather than a Napolieon of crime. Feel a bit sorry for they. They will have an active social life in prison though.
What if “They” gave a war, and nobody came?
Or an orgy, for that matter?
Remember the Wankel rotary? That did take place, and Mazda bet the farm on it.
Unfortunately, the early ’70s weren’t the best time to introduce a subcompact getting 17 mpg.
This Mazda didn’t catch on, either. You’d expect better ideas from a company that shares its name with a light bulb.
The RX-2 and 3 were good cars except for the atrocious state of tune on the engines-a little rejetting and so forth drastically increased mileage-and a horrible tendency to rust. They were nearly as bad as the Vega. For the time they were a lot of fun.
Gomez: Who?
Judge: Er, you..
Gomez: Oh, them.
They thought they was just taking the 11 traditional Aztec herbs and spices, Maca root, smudge stick, smokum peace pipe, but they’s friend gave them PCP instead.

Now solar is coming to them mostly via American investors and companies (not Chinese ones) who think they can turn a profit.
Please explain how American investors and companies (not Chinese ones) are supposed to profit on this.
What happened to a laptop for every African child? What happened to Stephen Hawking's search for the African Einstein?
I remember this utopian project which got completely unexpected results.
Pablo Gomez aka “They” will spend about five years in prison, if that, and in a women’s prison.
The prosecutor probably shares They’s hate hate hate for White people, this is Beserkley after all and the parents are Nice White cucks. A more sane set of parents would set about getting revenge in a way not to get caught. But instead they are cucking. The least you can ask is HATE for the family that killed your own.
The prosecutor will make some deal with “they” and “they” will spend ten years (reality: five for good behavior) in some slam and be out in early release courtesy of Jerry Brown’s prison reform bill in four or even three.
There is a reason there was supposedly impartial justice by the King — to prevent blood feuds from spiraling out of control and wrecking great portions of the countryside. It wasn’t an excess of virtue on the Kings; just common good sense in ruling effectively. Its why most effective rulers outside blood soaked lunatics like Mao, Hitler, and Stalin had relatively sane and fair justice systems for ordinary crimes involving ordinary people.
BECAUSE: Reality check, White life is cheap and valued at less than nothing, “They” will pay no real price for taking it. Eventually non-cuck families will simply take revenge; and form various revenge cartels which is how the Mafia got started in Sicily. When the State does not punish nor protect others will.
The Bart subway was the reason so many bought homes in Alameda It was going to be so wonderful.
A short walk from the job in San Francisco or an Alameda town to the nice, clean subway and then a short walk or drive home.
Now that lovely subway is infested with feral blacks going from their criminal court hearings and parole offices in Oakland to their hoes in Pittsburgh. So the taxpaying Whites who are threatened and harassed by the sewage overflow on BART.
Cheap solar panels that can be put on the roof of your shack and generate enough juice to keep your smartphone charged sound like something Africans can handle, and will be a big boost in their standard of living.
In the New Yorker article they say the popular solar package that includes a 24″ TV is what many Africans want. That if this TV is out of stock the sale cannot be made. The 24″ TVs they include are the lowest wattage and most reliable that can be found. Include 4 LED lights for at night and ability to charge phones in that solar package. Payments can be two dollars a month. Solar systems get remotely shut off if payments are not made. And ultimately repossessed. However the default rate is only 2%.
So while an American salivates after a 55 or 60 inch TV (about $1000) a huge step upward for a rural African family is a 24″ TV.
Please explain how American investors and companies (not Chinese ones) are supposed to profit on this.
Not a huge profit by any means but this is not their objective. Read or skim the article. The numbers look like they add up. These solar electrification efforts are do-gooder efforts but are not handouts. They just want enough profits to stay in business and to slowly expand. They are not ditzy, lefty NGOs full of trust funders.
So while an American salivates after a 55 or 60 inch TV (about $1000) a huge step upward for a rural African family is a 24" TV.
Sounds like a big leap upwards in standard of living from no electricity to a TV, lights, and a phone. All without being on the power grid.
What is your priority list when you get increasing amounts of electricity from improving solar panels, after TV/lights/phone?
Next comes simple rotary fans for cooling, I would guess.
Then what? Washing machine? Refrigerator? Microwave?
A washing machine isn't much good without dependable running water, and that's not a given in many areas.
I agree that even a few hours a day of electricity is not at all trivial. It would make a significant difference in many people's lives.
Washing machines are of little use without running water. And refrigerators, with solar are possible but ammonia units using kerosene or propane work just as well.
Solar panels for tropical farmers sounds like a very good thing.
Also, I think we have enough tropical farmers as it is.
Mazda bet the farm on it and they won, they are still here today.
The RX-2 and 3 were good cars except for the atrocious state of tune on the engines-a little rejetting and so forth drastically increased mileage-and a horrible tendency to rust. They were nearly as bad as the Vega. For the time they were a lot of fun.
The refrigerator, surely? That would reduce the need for someone to shop for perishable food on an essentially daily basis, plus cold beer.
A washing machine isn’t much good without dependable running water, and that’s not a given in many areas.
I agree that even a few hours a day of electricity is not at all trivial. It would make a significant difference in many people’s lives.
In the United States, before the REA electrified every farm in the US, there was the Jacobs Wind Electric Co. Before and right after WWII they made a line of wind generators and a complete line of appliances that ran on the DC voltages the systems generated. It is very interesting to look through catalogs of what was offered in those days. They never had TVs, but radios, vacuum cleaners, fans, refrigerators, ice cream makers, you name it were made. All now rare because the REA made farmers remove and destroy the DC systems before putting in the AC.
Washing machines are of little use without running water. And refrigerators, with solar are possible but ammonia units using kerosene or propane work just as well.
This is exactly the case in which to push back against gender insanity: the defendant is entirely unsympathetic.
This sort of thing happens a fair bit, from what i’ve been told.
Female psychopath murders husband, teenage son takes the blame, says he’was defending mom from Domestic Violemce, Court rules no case to answer.
Detectives aren’t stupid, so they go over to mom’s house to spitroast her anytime they like for the next 6 months, until they find another one.
They’s case sounds similar.
Probably sneaking into the first world countries you see on the TV and phone.
Cheap solar panels that can be put on the roof of your shack and generate enough juice to keep your smartphone charged sound like something Africans can handle, and will be a big boost in their standard of living.
I wish I could be as optimistic.
What seems likely to me is that the next form of technology to evolve in the direction of lower levels of organization skill being required will be … international people smuggling.
Formerly, people smugglers needed prearranged rendezvous, cash prepayment, and other ponderous bricks-and-mortar accouterments to conduct business. Widespread African smart phones will enable flash mob-like assembly of recruits, cashless financing and pinpoint logistics.

If the ends justify the means and we decide that some people should automatically be believed over others, then you can forget about justice. The goddess of Justice wears a blindfold for a good reason. This week your guys are in charge so white is favored over brown, but next week the other guys are in charge so it's the other way 'round. This raises the stakes on who is in charge WAY too high. This is why, in places like Kenya, elections are matters of life and death and people are willing to commit murder to make sure their side wins. In the old America, elections were low stakes affairs and it was good.
On instinct, habit and principle, I agree with what you write. As you acknowledge by the use of the past tense, however, the world where those instincts, habits and principles work may now be past. When most everyone acted on altruism and fair play, you had “old America”. When only a subgroup acts on altruism and fair play while everyone else is self-seeking, you have The Current Year. You and I didn’t end the old way, but we do get to live with the result. In the 27 year old‘s case, he gets to live with the result even longer, so his assessment of it is necessarily less clouded by nostalgia.
It gives me no pleasure to say that this may be a case where the younger apprehend the situation better than the older. The courts, elections and culture have been pulling the blindfold from the goddess of Justice for a while now. For eight of the past nine years the other guys have been in charge and were unapologetic in their favoritism. It appears that certain people here are already willing to commit murder to make sure their side wins. Elections are already becoming high-stakes through no wish of our own.
If it is going to be be all identity politics all the time, or as 27 year old puts it, “who-whom all the way down”, then it’s about time time we start playing this high-stakes game like it matters. Because it does. And we’re the only ones who haven’t figured it out yet.
I have a lot of young nieces and nephews. Almost all of them SJWs. Are there really that many young people who are race realists?

This short video focuses on the loss of “old Canada” but succinctly summarizes the seemingly terminal decline in the Euro-American western nations and how the sacrifices of our predecessors are being betrayed by the “new” and the idolatry of “diversity is strength.”

27yo will outlive all of us; he’s been 27 for at least 3 years now.
Their breakthrough is compression ignition for gasoline engines. As you may know, historically the explosion of the compressed fuel-air mixture in gas engines is set off by a spark while in diesels the fuel self-ignites due to the heat and pressure of being compressed. The latter gives you bigger explosions and more power but no one had ever figured out how to control the spontaneous detonation of gasoline (when it does it in an uncontrolled way we call it “engine knock” which is a bad thing).
Mazda has figured out a way to do this (except that if you read the details closely, they are still using spark but what they do is after the spark has set off a mini-explosion of a pre-charge (thus creating a zone of high temperature and pressure) they squirt more raw gasoline into the cylinder and that 2nd charge is the one that spontaneously combusts.
Aw, she’s just a poor 22-year old Berkeley SJW activist/student who through no fault of her own ended up in bad company (SJW activists). Of course she should get to dramatically signal a bit for picking her friends so unwisely. I wonder if she still fervently believes in Social Justice though? One can only hope.
Seems like she skipped the course segment “When Transgenders Attack”.

Yeah, thanks to the Miata. That was the kind of car everyone else had abandoned. Unwisely, as history showed.
I dunno, can the tropical farmer care for solar panels and associated technology properly?
Also, I think we have enough tropical farmers as it is.
He wouldn’t be from Waukegan, might he?
He would not have had the opportunity to attend Berkeley and go Beserkely !
Pro-active internment of the violently deranged in mental hospitals used to keep a lot of us civilians safe.
Always, always remember it was judges at the behest of ACLU ADL AJC and an organization called something like NAPA ???? that filed and won the lawsuits to evict the mentally ill from their asylums.
That’s how our country’s laws are made. Judges doing exactly what they want, no different from 4,000 BC when the biggest baddest guy in the clan appointed himself judge.
They is plural. Is that for his double or triple sex orientation? His pronoun of choice shout be it. Epiphany is a standard Christian religious holiday. It’s been around for about 1,7 000 years. There is nothing Mexican pagan indian about it.
If he wanted to celebrate it he should have gone to church in the morning sober instead of drugged up.
Does any one know if the infamous Berkeley CO-OP still around?
Why do you think the E. European Jews swarmed to S. Africa and Palestine starting in the 1880s.? They figured from strongholds at the north and south ends of Africa they could take over most of it after destroying the Turkish, French and British possessions. They got that far by the 1960s when the last of the colonists were forced out.
Jews have a similar arrangement In America from their 3 strongholds, Los Angeles, Washington DC and NYC.
In another thread, someone asked me for a working definition of anti-Semite and I said it was someone with delusional thinking about Jews. Here is Exhibit A.
The prosecutor probably shares They's hate hate hate for White people, this is Beserkley after all and the parents are Nice White cucks. A more sane set of parents would set about getting revenge in a way not to get caught. But instead they are cucking. The least you can ask is HATE for the family that killed your own.
The prosecutor will make some deal with "they" and "they" will spend ten years (reality: five for good behavior) in some slam and be out in early release courtesy of Jerry Brown's prison reform bill in four or even three.
There is a reason there was supposedly impartial justice by the King -- to prevent blood feuds from spiraling out of control and wrecking great portions of the countryside. It wasn't an excess of virtue on the Kings; just common good sense in ruling effectively. Its why most effective rulers outside blood soaked lunatics like Mao, Hitler, and Stalin had relatively sane and fair justice systems for ordinary crimes involving ordinary people.
BECAUSE: Reality check, White life is cheap and valued at less than nothing, "They" will pay no real price for taking it. Eventually non-cuck families will simply take revenge; and form various revenge cartels which is how the Mafia got started in Sicily. When the State does not punish nor protect others will.
The Prosecutor works fro Alameda County, not the city of Berkley. Except for black and liberal infested Oakland, Pittsburg, Berkley and Richmond, Alameda is a law and order county. The rest of the county has been abused by the sewage overflow from Oakland, Richmond and Pittsburg and is pretty tough on crime.
The Bart subway was the reason so many bought homes in Alameda It was going to be so wonderful.
A short walk from the job in San Francisco or an Alameda town to the nice, clean subway and then a short walk or drive home.
Now that lovely subway is infested with feral blacks going from their criminal court hearings and parole offices in Oakland to their hoes in Pittsburgh. So the taxpaying Whites who are threatened and harassed by the sewage overflow on BART.
I had one of those Mazdas. Worst car I ever had. It had some kind of weird carburetor that never worked. No one could fix it.
He’ll be a millionaire by the time he gets out. They charge for their services.
Good point. Who knows what really happened. The detectives may have found the victim’s blood and DNA on the accused but not on the witness.
It is actually illegal to bring an emotional service dog into a restaurant, food market or any other place where dogs are not allowed due to the Health and Safety Codes. Genuine certified licensed physical service dogs are allowed into places that sell or serve food, but not emotional service dogs.
When the ADA was written no one thought that every lonely spinster and nerd would start dragging fake service dogs around. But the ADA will be re written so ensure that emotional and fake service dogs stay out of food stores, restaurants, hospitals etc.
Health and Safety laws are more important that lonely nerds and spinsters who can’t go anywhere with out poopsi woopsi.
Food stores and restaurants are stuck between the lonely nerds and spinsters and and people who want to enforce existing health laws.
Unfortunately landlords are compelled to admit emotional service dogs. They are however allowed to require documentation from a real Dr that the owner is an emotional basket case that can’t survive without poopsie woopsi. Landlords may also investigate if the Dr is a real MD or if the Dr signature is forged.
As the law stands, emotional service dogs are supposed to stay at home to comfort the *&^%#** owner and the owner may drag it around everywhere but where food is sold or served. So emotional service dogs are not supposed to enter restaurants. Emotional service cats must be admitted to an apartment. But fortunately the no litter box allowed rule can still stand. So by using the no litter box rule, landlords can reject emotional service cats.
One wonderful thing, some states have enacted strict laws against misrepresenting a dog as a service dog. It is considered a fraud. Only real, $20,000 certified trained physical service dogs are allowed in food and other establishments where dogs are prohibited. California has that law. I was quite surprised that sensible health inspectors and restaurant owners were able to prevail over the fruits and nuts that drag fake service dogs around everywhere. A lot of restaurants are posting that law right on the front doors to stop fake service and emotional support dogs and their fruit and nut owners from coming in.
It’s incredibly easy to distinguish a real service dog from a fake service dog. And almost all emotional support dogs are not trained service dogs. It would be easy to train them, but the lonely nerds and spinsters are too submissive to train the dog.
When the critter owner sees that they go find a landlord who doesn’t know the law and thinks he or she has to accept the emotional and fake service dogs. Re: cats. A landlord has to accept a service cat. But the no litter box rule still applies. So no fake service cats.
Jerry brown wet his bed until he was 17 years old. Also Jesuit trained for those who believe the Jesuits are not a force for good in the world. He does lend credence to the evil Jesuit conspiracy theory.
For those who demand a source for every comment, his sister Cynthia told me about the bedwetting.
I do think it's weird that she drove the perp away fron the scene, but it sounds like your typical weak willed female to me.
I do think it's not implausible that drugs (something more potent than cannabis) played a role in this incident though. "Ritual" in Berkeley is often synonymous with drug use.
Weak willed or rightfully scared to do anything but do exactly what he told her to do. Would you have confronted him? Seriously?
I'm wondering, what's correct: "they holds a knife", or "they hold a knife"?
Probably they hold knives.

Too much cocaine is probably why he went in to a frenzy and murdered her. It happens often
I highly doubt it’s a real service dog. the service dog vest was bought off the internet. Were I the Judge in the case I’d make her provide valid, real, not fraudulent documentation that the mutt’s a real service dog. His service dog vest is a fake from the internet.
There is a big anti fake service dog movement building. Some states have enacted laws deeming presenting a dog as a service dog is fraud and either a misdeameanor or a felony. Thanks be to God and health inspectors
Judges schedule bathroom recesses like 1st grade teachers, about every 2 & 1/2 hours. What if poopsie woopsie wasn't trained and peed, pooped and bit people?
Or what if poopsie woopsie needed to be walked? Would she come back to court with a filled poop bag?
He would not have had the opportunity to attend Berkeley and go Beserkely !
Pro-active internment of the violently deranged in mental hospitals used to keep a lot of us civilians safe.
Keeping the deranged locked up was expensive. Then, in the 60s it became fashionable to believe that it was the deranged who were actually the sane ones and the more-or-less normal who were really the disturbed ones (cf. R.D. Laing). So, we closed down the asylums and let the poor mentally ills souls wander among us, often homeless. Oh, brave new world!

A fake service dog would admittedly raise the scene to the next level of hilarity.
Jews have a similar arrangement In America from their 3 strongholds, Los Angeles, Washington DC and NYC.
South Africa had, at peak, maybe 75,000 Jews (out of a total population of 55 million people) some of whom have now decamped for Israel or elsewhere. So I would not exactly call this a swarm. Nor am I expecting a army of Yids to stream out of their coastal strongholds and overtake Fargo. You can’t even get a good corned beef sandwich in Fargo.
In another thread, someone asked me for a working definition of anti-Semite and I said it was someone with delusional thinking about Jews. Here is Exhibit A.
You’re letting politics cloud your thinking. There is zero chance of that outcome. California still takes a very dim view of murder.
This weird ritual of reconciliation could have saved the wacky latinx killa or at least reduced the latinx' sentence. Compare this to the South African case 5-10 years ago in which the white parents bonded with their daughter's killers, started some foundation and even hired their daughter's killers when they got out of jail!
Yet the young latinx man decides he needs to "protect" the latinx killa's mom from the dead girl's mom and keeps them apart.
Even the author of the article sees how stupid this move was. She noted that the white lady was "shaken" when her reconciliation/forgiveness/submission gesture was rejected.
In his defense, the only reasonable conclusion at that point would be that white mom was heading over to knife they’s mom.
Unfortunately, Tiny’s satire just isn’t very good.
It’s a bit like that song and dance about not executing convicted murderers who are literal retards with IQ 85 or less (or something like that).
The time for that cucky big brain idealism has passed. Baby boomers let that ship sail long ago.
Now it's who-whom all the way down.
Being an early Boomer, I’ll note that the rot stared when I was in diapers, or even before I was born. We did our share, or a bit more, but there’s plenty of blame to go round. But you are correct: Justice can be blind only within a population group. When you start mixing folks up, it’s always us v. them. We need to realize that we are us.
But the new left keeps telling us that "Nazis" are not entitled to have any opinion. Gen. Silveria tells the (non-existent) racists of the Air Force Academy not that he disagrees with their opinions but that they need to "get out" - their opinions are totally illegitimate and if you air them you will be expelled (and keep in mind that the Academy is a government run institution where the 1st Amendment is supposed to apply). I think this is because the left has lost confidence in their own ideas, just as happened in Communist countries. They know that they are never going to be able to sell their hateful ideas to the majority of whites so the only alternative is to suppress the speech of those that disagree with them.
Outside of They’s momentary lapse with the knife, I’m sure Lt. General Silveria would have considered Them a fine addition to the Air Force Academy. And if other cadets couldn’t treat Them with dignity and respect, then they need to get out.
Who knows, maybe he, she, or they will enjoy the intimate attentions that he, she, or they will experience in The California prison system.
Comment of the day.
“Do the goodthinkers allow all of us to choose anything we want as personal pronoun of choice, by way of a bolt-on signaling monkier?”
I’m assuming you meant “moniker”, but monkier works, too.
It gives me no pleasure to say that this may be a case where the younger apprehend the situation better than the older. The courts, elections and culture have been pulling the blindfold from the goddess of Justice for a while now. For eight of the past nine years the other guys have been in charge and were unapologetic in their favoritism. It appears that certain people here are already willing to commit murder to make sure their side wins. Elections are already becoming high-stakes through no wish of our own.
If it is going to be be all identity politics all the time, or as 27 year old puts it, "who-whom all the way down", then it's about time time we start playing this high-stakes game like it matters. Because it does. And we're the only ones who haven't figured it out yet.

I have a lot of young nieces and nephews. Almost all of them SJWs. Are there really that many young people who are race realists?
Generation Z's white guys favored Trump over Clinton by a 6-to-1 margin
Those of us who can remember the former, better world have a nostalgic impulse to try to recover it. The young suffer no such delusions and apprehend more sharply the inevitable consequences of the Prog.
Maybe if Mommie had made them take a city bus home from their all White and Asian private schools they would have seen how the BLM crowd really is. But Mommie drove them to and from school every day of their lives. So they never saw blacks. They only got the propaganda.
That's one advantage of raising White kids in a city. If they take the city buses, they soon learn what blacks really are. It's not necessary for them to be robbed or assaulted Just the howling and yowling and filthy language are enough.
*what the schools claim.
Yeah, I remember reading a murder mystery a while back that concerned a murderess covering her tracks by pretending that the guy she killed attacked her…..with acid. This being fiction, the murderess had enough will-to-power to actually splash acid on herself, badly disfiguring one side of her face.She almost got away with it, as the police simply could not imagine a woman willingly doing that to herself.

It does bring me back to my earlier comment: If there's a death cult operating in Berkeley, you'd think people would want to know that. Does that possibility figure in any of the reporting being done on the story? Or in any police statements? I'm genuinely curious.
From death cult cultures:

Someone explain to me why any Guatemalans or Hondurans allowed across the border.
As in "Santiago Matamoros" = "St. James the Muslim Killer".
He is the patron saint of Spain.
close
The apostle, James, is the patron of the Spaniards.
the matamoros part is kind of legendary given that the apostle, James, was long dead before there were any Moors.
The most pertinent and significantly unanswered question of the trial, I propose.
Needs more research.
Precedent. Meredith Kercher’s nominated killer is in a German jail, and someone who should be answering some very pointed questions in relation to the affair is now apotheosised as a spotless angel of American womanhood. “How could she do such a heinous deed?” seems to be the main plank of the defence.
You know, I was really prepared to accept that Amanda Knox was guilty and Rudy Guede was innocent, but Guede's new retro-alibi is so lame that it looks to me like they must have gotten the right guy finally.

I think you mean an Italian jail.

Wellllll … it wasn’t cheap, but I would argue that the bloated and ineffective network of services that supposedly do the same job now (halfway houses, social workers, homeless shelters, etc.) are even more expensive. And that is before adding in the ultimately incalculable cost of the extra murders caused by letting psychos roam about freely.
Not to mention what is turning out to be a new cost-item: sterilizing the pavement, as the City of San Diego has had to do in response to the current hepatitis outbreak.
The city has a budget of 200 million a year to provide services and think about starting a conversation about solutions to the homeless problem . 200 million? The city could buy everyone of the homelsess a small house or condo in a less expensive area of Washington state.
Of course if Paul Allan would stop building ultra expensive lego land doll house type condo complexes and Microsoft would stop importing foreigners and the do gooders would stop importing Somalias and other dreck, Seattle might not have a homeless problem.
Pablo is quite simply mestizo detritus that the whiter Spanish elites of México vomited up north of the Rio Grande.
Were we living in a normal, pre-1965 America of fairly homogenous Whites and not the current dystopian hellhole of a (((country))) controlled by those who want us dead, Pablo would’ve been kicked back to his hometown favela LONG AGO.
It is sickening to see such genetic garbage, invited into to OUR NATION by the Self-Chosen tribe of criminal elites, continually used as biological weapons of demographic and racial warfare against brainwashed and helpless White women.
Another fake service critter exposed. If lonely spinsters can’t function without a fake service critter, let them take a valium

Woman kicked off flight after her service pig became too rowdy
The woman was given her marching orders after her havoc-wreaking hog began walking up and down the aisles. Even attempts to strap it to an arm rest failed to settle the farmyard animal on the flight from Connecticut.
Seattle has a huge homeless problem. The city claims there are 12,000 homeless in Seattle. There are probably more, so let’s double that sum to 24,000 which is more realistic.

It was mostly White male Judges and attorneys who made the laws that gave illegal hispanic immigrants permission to enter illegally and stay illegally. Those court rulings and laws were made back when there were few women attorneys and very, very few women judges even local muni judges.

A niece of mine actually is a paid up hardworking member of BLM. She’s White of course. Her parents of course are ultra left baby boomers. Hopefully, she’ll never have children neither will her sister or cousins who are as left as she They are products of the finest * and most expensive private grade and high schools in the country.

As I recall, that’s what happened to Richard Speck–he had the time of his life in prison, engaging in drug use and gay orgies. He even made a video of himself laughing about it and taunting his victims’ families.
