The Code Behind Google’s Woke Autocorrect

 

https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2022/03/more-assistive-writing-suggestions-in.html

 

Leaked material from Google provided exclusively to Breitbart News give a behind-the-scenes glimpse of a feature rolled out to business and enterprise users of Google Docs that suggests woke-approved replacements for words like “man,” “woman,” “white,” and “master” as users type.

 

In the examples below, Google’s curated list of non-woke words and their woke replacements can be seen, such as replacing “manhole” with “maintenance hole” and “whitepaper” with “report.”

 

In some cases, Google can be seen struggling to replace everyday words. “Motherhood,” for example, is replaced with the far less succinct “experience of being a parent or guardian.”

 

The feature is so clunky and riddled with errors, that Breitbart News’ source within Google, who wishes to remain anonymous, now says the company is going to roll it back.

 

“This was an amazingly ham-handed feature,” said the Google employee. “A crude (with at least one spelling mistake), manually curated but poorly vetted list of anything vaguely race or gender-related that led to an obviously bad user experience. It’s hard to believe it ever went through user research.”

 

Google announced the feature’s rollout in April, but gave scant details about how it operated, except to say that it would flag “discriminatory and inappropriate language” to users, and recommend more “inclusive” alternatives.

 

The feature works by recommending new words to Google Docs users as they type, in much the same way as a regular autocorrect function.

 

The pictures below give a glimpse at the backend of the feature, and reveals some of the un-woke words Google wants its users to eliminate from their vocabulary.

 

In the image above, words that include the prefix “man” are the subject of an “inclusive warning.” The feature recommends that the word “mankind” be replaced with “humankind,” “humanity,” or “people of the world.” It recommends that “manhole” be replaced with “hole” or “maintenance hole,” and that “manhunt” be replaced with “search.”

Biden’s Economic Aide & Refugee Coordinator Told Americans To ‘Welcome’ And ‘Understand’ Chinese Communist Party After Decades Of Working With Foreign Influence Groups.

 

Is the U.S. government full of Chinese agents? It seems so.

 

Jack Markell – President Joe Biden’s pick to serve as ambassador to the international Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development – has a long history of partnering with Chinese Communist Party foreign influence groups and has called on Americans to “welcome” and “understand” the communist regime.

 

Markell, a former Governor of Delaware, was also tapped by the White House to lead its Afghan refugee resettlement program “Operation Allies Welcome” in September before his ambassadorship was confirmed by the Senate.

 

In 2011, Markell penned an op-ed – “How We Can Use China’s Growth To Fuel American Jobs” – where he called for increased ties with the communist country.

 

“The Chinese growth that has long stirred fear among many Americans is increasingly opening up new opportunities for US workers and exporters,” Markell argued in the piece before calling on Americans to “welcome” and “understand” the brutal, communist regime:

 

It’s obvious that our political systems are different, but the differences in our legal systems, business culture, and consumer expectations have a far greater impact on companies. If we want to attract Chinese investors and local jobs, we need to welcome them, understand them, and be prepared to help them understand our expectations.

 

“From my work in the private sector, I know that competitiveness is fortified by cooperation. These efforts will make our country and each of our states stronger,” he added.

 

Markell also details his work with the National Governors Association (NGA), including inking deals with Chinese Communist Party officials.

 

“At the NGA Winter Meeting this February, I was pleased to sign an agreement with the top official from China’s Hunan Province, Secretary Zhou Qiang, to cooperate on job creation,” he outlined before praising the group’s effort to “promote cooperation” with China:

 

I applaud the initiatives by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and the National Governors Association to promote cooperation between “subnational” (state and local) governments in China and the United States.

 

In a separate NGA forum taking place in July 2011, Markell signed another memorandum of understanding with the secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China Zhao Hongzhu. Markell would later go on to serve as the Chairman of the NGA from 2012 to 2013.

 

He attended their 10th-anniversary gala in 2015 alongside several Chinese Communist Party officials.

Ghislaine Maxwell's cellmate claims she was 'offered money' to kill Epstein accomplice, lawyers say

 

Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell's cellmate has made multiple claims of being offered money to kill Maxwell, lawyers for the Jeffrey Epstein accomplice say.

 

"One of the female inmates in Ms. Maxwell’s housing unit told at least three other inmates that she had been offered money to murder Ms. Maxwell and that she planned to strangle her in her sleep," Maxwell's lawyers alleged in a court filing Wednesday. They said that the inmate who made the threat has been moved to a separate housing unit in the Brooklyn prison where Maxwell is incarcerated, "presumably to protect Ms. Maxwell."

 

"This incident reflects the brutal reality that there are numerous prison inmates who would not hesitate to kill Ms. Maxwell — whether for money, fame, or simple ‘street cred,'" the lawyers wrote.

 

Maxwell, a British socialite, was convicted in December for sex trafficking a 14-year-old girl during her time as a close associate of infamous billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. Her July 2020 arrest came years after investigations and litigation against Epstein, who allegedly operated an underage sex trafficking ring and raped dozens of underage girls.

 

Epstein was found dead in a Manhattan jail cell in August 2019 while awaiting trial for his sex crimes. His death was officially ruled a suicide.

 

In their sentencing brief, Maxwell's lawyers argued she should receive a lighter sentence for her convictions based on the alleged death threat and multiple other grounds, including her "difficult, traumatic childhood."

 

"Ghislaine Maxwell is not an heiress, villain, or vapid socialite. She has worked hard her entire life. She has energy, drive, commitment, a strong work ethic, and desire to do good in the world," her lawyers wrote.

 

They claimed that Maxwell's dysfunctional relationship with "an overbearing, narcissistic, and demanding father" "made her vulnerable to Epstein, whom she met right after her father's death."

 

"It is the biggest mistake she made in her life and one that she has not and never will repeat,” the lawyers asserted.

 

They also asserted that prosecutors sought to charge Maxwell with crimes only because of "strong media and public uproar" after Epstein escaped justice.

 

“The government faced an urgency to appease the renewed distress of Epstein’s accusers and to repair the tarnished reputations of the [Department of Justice] and [Bureau of Prisons]," the lawyers wrote.

 

“There would be no trial for Epstein and no public vindication and justice for his accusers,” they insisted. “The government now had a huge hole to fill: Epstein’s empty chair.”

 

Maxwell's attorneys are seeking a sentence below the 20 years recommended by the court's probation department, the New York Times reported. Her sentencing hearing is scheduled for June 28.

Flood Rocks Abbott Baby Formula Plant, Likely Delaying Production for ‘Weeks’

 

Baby formula “production and distribution” at Abbott’s plant in Sturgis, Michigan, will likely be delayed “for a few weeks” after flooding Monday has led to setbacks, the company announced Tuesday.

 

The plant had only resumed baby formula production on June 4, following a months-long delay stemming from a voluntary recall after complaints that four infants who had consumed products manufactured at the plant developed bacterial infections, Breitbart news previously noted. Abbott’s recall and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) investigations that coincided contributed to the nationwide baby formula shortage that has left frantic parents struggling to feed their infants for months.

 

Abbott stated that “severe thunderstorms and heavy rains” in Southwest Michigan caused the flood that rocked portions of Sturgis and “areas of our plant.”

 

“As a result, Abbott has stopped production of its EleCare specialty formula that was underway to assess damage caused by the storm and clean and re-sanitize the plant,” the company noted. Abbott has alerted the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to the incident and “will conduct comprehensive testing in conjunction with the independent third party to ensure the plant is safe to resume production.”

 

In Abbott’s June 4 announcement that it was resuming manufacturing at the plant, it noted that specialty and metabolic formulas would be prioritized at the start of production operations while projecting EleCare products release on June 20, as Breitbart News reported:

 

The company will begin making Similac formula and other regular products after prioritizing the specialty formulas, “with supplies hitting stores several weeks later,” the Walls Street Journal reported, citing “a person familiar with the matter.”

 

However, on Tuesday, Abbott asserted that it “has ample existing supply of EleCare and most of its specialty and metabolic formulas to meet needs for these products until new product is available.”

 

“These products are being released to consumers in need in coordination with healthcare professionals,” the update continued. “Parents or caregivers in need should contact their healthcare professional or contact Abbott at +1-800-881-0876 for additional information.”

 

Abbott asserted that in June, it manufactured nearly 9 million pounds of infant formula, which was not produced in Sturgis. The figure represents 95 percent of the company’s January output – before the recall.

 

Once production resumes, the Michigan plant will again work to bolster specialty and metabolic formula supply after prioritizing EleCare manufacturing and will simultaneously work to begin producing Similac formula.

 

Before the recall, the Sturgis plant “had produced roughly one-fifth of the infant formula in the country,” as the Wall Street Journal noted. Although the recall occurred in February, and such a significant void in production would undoubtedly have severe negative consequences for the country’s most vulnerable populations, White House National Economic Council Director Brian Deese recently contended on CNN’s The Lead that President Joe Biden was not aware of the crisis until April, Breitbart News reported.

Pentagon Official Says Chinese Attack on Taiwan Would See Response Similar to Ukraine Invasion

 

Tensions are rising between the US and China over Taiwan

 

Colin Kahl, the Pentagon’s undersecretary of defense for policy, said Tuesday that a Chinese “act of aggression” against Taiwan would likely see a global response similar to what the US and its allies have done in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

 

“Potential adversaries and aggressors everywhere else in the world are looking at the global response in Ukraine,” Kahl said at an event hosted by the hawkish Center for a New American Security (CNAS) think tank.

 

Since Russia invaded Ukraine, the US has led a Western sanctions campaign aimed at isolating the Russian economy. The Biden administration likes to portray this campaign as a global one, but a significant number of countries have not followed, including China, India, Brazil, and many African nations.

 

As things stand today, the US would not be able to put China under heavy sanctions as the American and Chinese economies are so intertwined. While there are efforts to reduce dependence on China, a real decoupling, which some hawks are calling for, could take decades.

 

But Kahl’s comments suggest that the US would be willing to fund a proxy war against China in Taiwan as it has in Ukraine by shipping billions of dollars worth of weapons into the war zone. Washington has sold weapons to Taipei since severing diplomatic relations in 1979, but the military support is nowhere near what the US is providing Ukraine today.

 

Tensions have been rising between Beijing and Washington over Taiwan as the US has been increasing support for Taiwan in recent years. China has no interest in invading Taiwan as it maintains a robust trade relationship with the island, but Chinese officials have made clear US that Taiwanese “independence” encouraged by the US is a red line.

Google, Twitter, Meta, TikTok and More Just Signed the EU’s “anti-disinformation” Code

 

Big Tech companies have signed a new version of the European Union’s “anti-disinformation” code. Some of the companies that signed include Google, Twitter, Meta, TikTok, and Twitch – but also smaller players such as Vimeo and Clubhouse.

 

There are 34 signatories in total:

 

Adobe

Avaaz

Clubhouse

Crisp Thinking

Demagog

DOT Europe

European Association of Communication Agencies (EACA)

Faktograf

Globsec

Google

Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB Europe

Kinzen

World Federation of Advertisers (WFA)

 

Apple declined to sign.

 

The “code of practice on disinformation,” will require online platforms to show how they are tackling “harmful content.”

 

It will also require platforms to fight “harmful misinformation” by forming partnerships with fact-checkers and developing tools. They will be forced to include “indicators of trustworthiness” on information verified independently on hot-button issues like COVID-19 and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

 

Perhaps the most notable requirement is providing their efforts to tackle harmful content and disinformation on a country-by-country basis. The move was opposed by online platforms, but national regulators demanded that they need more specific data to better address the spread of disinformation.

Actor Kevin Spacey granted bail on 4 counts of sexual assault in London court

 

Academy Award winning actor Kevin Spacey on Thursday made his first appearance before a London court on charges he sexual assaulted three men between 2005 and 2013.

 

The "House of Cards" star has not entered a formal plea against the men, who one alleged Spacey engaged in penetrative sexual activity without consent.

 

In the procedural hearing Thursday he stated only his name, date of birth and London address.

 

Deputy Chief Magistrate Tan Ikram allowed Spacey unconditional bail until July 14, when he'll appear for his plea hearing.

 

The 62-year-old Spacey was on the allegation last month, at which time promised to fly from the U.S. to London to "prove my innocence" before the court.

 

His alleged incident occurred charges in the United Kingdom in March 2005, August 2008 and April 2013.

 

He was in charge of London’s Old Vic theater from 2004 to 2015. The men are now in their 30s and 40s.

 

Spacey's acting career abruptly crumbled in connection with a civil suit filed against him in 2016 for allegedly groping a young man in a Nantucket bar. The suit was dropped several years later.

 

The actor returned to acting earlier this year where he appeared in a Croatian film released in May.

Australia provides unequivocal proof the Covid-19 Vaccines don’t work and just make you worse

 

Nearly 90% of people in Australia are considered fully vaccinated against Covid-19, but despite this, the country is still riding the largest wave of Covid-19 deaths to hit the country since the beginning of the alleged pandemic in 2020, a wave that began in February 2022.

 

Therefore, Australia has provided the world with unequivocal evidence that the Covid-19 injections not only simply do not work, they in fact make recipients worse.

Drug Concealed in Bananas Seized in Greece, Czechia

 

Greek police arrested four U.K. nationals believed to have been involved in the smuggling of more than US$50 million worth of narcotics that were concealed in banana shipments.

 

The four suspects, two of whom are alleged leaders of an international drug trafficking ring, were detained in a residence near Thessaloniki, the Greek police said in a statement. The fifth member of the gang remains at large.

 

The arrests came after about 300 kilograms of cocaine were intercepted in Italy last month during an operation conducted by Italian customs authorities and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to disrupt a worldwide drug trafficking network.

 

The cocaine was hidden within regular banana shipments from a Latin American country to Australia and several European countries and was later found in the gang’s apartment in Thessaloniki, along with a gun, considerable quantities of money, and communication gadgets.

 

Police said they believed that the gang would had profited more than $10.41 million from the shipment that was divided into 260 packages.

 

The group is also suspected of being engaged in a similar effort to transport more than 650 kilograms of cocaine hidden in 23 crates of bananas aboard a ship discovered by Italian officials in April.

 

Some 840 kilograms of cocaine hidden in boxes of bananas, with a black market value estimated at $84.21 million, was also discovered in the Czech Republic. In this case the drug was accidentally delivered to supermarkets in several Czech cities.

 

“Supermarket workers found molded cocaine cubes in boxes with bananas,” Czech police tweeted on Friday.

 

The police did not reveal more details about the case, but it said that the country’s anti-narcotics authority (Národní protidrogová centrála) will further investigate the case with the support of international police and judicial institutions.

Sting Operation Reveals ‘Ndrangheta-Colombian Cartel Partnership

 

Colombian authorities reported the arrest of 38 suspects and the seizure of 4.3 tonnes of drugs during last week’s international operation that laid bare the lucrative partnership between Italy’s ‘Ndrangheta and Colombia’s Urabeños cartel.

 

“With authorities from #EEUU, Spain and Italy, we have just carried out the most important transnational operation this year against cocaine drug trafficking, belonging to the 'Clan del Golfo,'” General Jorge Luis Vargas Valencia, Director of Colombia’s national police said in a tweet.

 

Clan del Golfo, also known as the Los Urabeños cartel, is among the most powerful criminal groups in Colombia and considers itself at war with both the Colombian government and the guerilla group FARC. Over the last ten years they have battled to take over the cocaine trade in Medellin – the onetime capital city of Pablo Escobar's narco-empire – and ultimately all of Colombia.

 

The drugs belonged to Jesús Ávila Villadiego Chiquito Malo, one of the heads of the atomized structures of the Urabeños, said Vargas on social media.

 

The ‘Ndrangheta on the other hand is Italy’s most powerful criminal group. Originating from Calabria, they have surpassed fellow mafia groups like the Sicilian Cosa Nostra and Neapolitan Camorra to take over the cocaine trade across Europe. Their illicit proceeds are believed to make up more than 3% of Italy’s total GDP.

 

For the most part, they get the drugs from their Latin American partners who grow and process the coca. Over the last year, the Clan del Golfo sent some 19 shipments weighing at least half a metric tonne to the Italian port of Trieste to supply ‘Ndrangheta, Insight Crime reported.

 

Little did they know, however, that the men they hired to smuggle it to the Italian partners were in fact undercover law enforcement officers.

 

"Try to imagine what it means to go for a beer or two with narcos" said Leonardo Erre, one of the officers according to Trieste Prima.

 

Despite the danger, they were able to gather essential information on both criminal groups and stop 19 shipments of drugs from entering the European market.

 

Of the 38 suspects, 20 were arrested in Colombia.

 

According to Spanish police, who also assisted with the operation, in addition to the drugs, more than $2 million in cash was also seized during searches in Colombia.

New Zealand Doctors Demand Police Investigate Covid Vaccine Deaths

 

 

“For God’s sake, people, let’s make our Police and MPs put a stop to this now!”

 

“The situation is getting out of control,” New Zealand doctors warn: The list of probable deaths due to the Covid “vaccinations” are getting longer and longer; the doctors are talking about a “humanitarian crisis.”

 

First, in an open letter, they denounced the actions of the regulatory authorities. Then, they went directly to the police to finally demand an investigation and an end to the unspeakable suffering caused by the Covid “vaccines.” But the police prefer to ignore such appeals. The damage that has been done is not “significant” enough for them.

 

Since the arrival of the gene-therapy injections, New Zealand has pushed to have 90% of its population receive two injections. In December, the country successfully reached its milestone. To achieve its 90% “vaccination” goal, Dr. Monchy explained that every citizen who received the injection was bribed with a voucher of 20 NZD (12 euros). At the same time, doctors have been given 359 NZD (216 euros) per vaccine.

Demand Police Investigate Covid ‘Vaccine’ Deaths

 

The New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out With Science (NZDSOS) fight against coercion and censorship in the context of Covid vaccinations. In a lengthy open letter, they described the consequences of compulsory vaccination and the suppression of unpleasant facts. The Health Forum NZ People’s Database, run by volunteers, now contains almost 500 deaths with a temporal and presumed causal connection to the Covid vaccination. The group has made part of the list available to the public, with changed names to protect the privacy of the victims. However, the doctors have sent an unedited list to the New Zealand police.

 

To the NZ Police, who have the actual patient’s names, we say this: It is not enough to hide behind apparently controlled, failed or corrupted government institutions. You are here to defend the public good. Period. You are supposed to know wrong from right; lies from truth.

 

The doctors are urgently calling for investigations – not least because many reports on the alleged vaccine deaths show connections to the Covid shots should be covered up.

 

We are alleging death by regulatory failure, as you know. You will see in the summarised death reports (representing a third of over 450 available) that there are some allegations of professionals and Police deviating from the usual processes that should follow a possible death from medical treatment. Of course, the unredacted list we give you is absolutely confidential except as needed for your formal investigations.

 

However, the group also notes that police have already ignored three open letters from their legal colleagues, New Zealand Lawyers Speaking Out with Science. Police commanders are said to have dismissed the accusations of critical experts because no level of actual damage had yet been reached. But then, what are all the people who suddenly died just days after their Covid shot? Irrelevant? Expendable?

Border Dispatch, Part I: ‘Everyone Who Arrives Here Has Paid’

 

Editor’s note: This is the first of a two-part series. Part two will be published next week.

 

REYNOSA, Mexico — We met Osniel at Senda de Vida, a massive migrant shelter situated on the south bank of the Rio Grande across from McAllen, Texas. The slender 23-year-old Cuban didn’t give us his last name, but did tell us he’d paid a coyote, or smuggler, $11,000 to leave his home country, transit through Central America and Mexico, and cross the border into the United States — twice.

 

Both times he crossed, though, he’d been arrested by Border Patrol and quickly sent back to Mexico under Title 42, the pandemic health order that allows U.S. authorities to expel illegal immigrants quickly, with minimal processing. When Osniel left Cuba in early April, Title 42 didn’t apply to Cubans. But that changed while he was en route.

 

On April 27, the Biden administration cut a deal with Mexico to begin expelling up to 100 Cubans and 20 Nicaraguans a day from three border facilities. For Osniel, it was just bad timing — he crossed the river on April 29.

 

“Title 42 was active under Donald Trump, and all this time, all this time Cubans were crossing over the river and entering with a humanitarian visa,” Osniel told me and a pair of colleagues, Emily Jashinsky and David Agren, who accompanied me recently to migrant shelters in Reynosa and Matamoros. “Now, Cubans keep trying to cross the river and they keep getting sent back.”

 

He said he wasn’t sure what he was going to do now. Having tried to cross the border twice, he couldn’t try again without paying the local cartel, and he had no more money. (Nearly everyone who crosses the Rio Grande in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, where Reynosa is situated, has to pay a tax to the cartels, which have been profiting handsomely from the arrangement.)

 

Early the next morning, around 2 a.m., Osniel called David in a panic. He had swam across the river, he said, but hadn’t paid, and now feared he was being pursued by cartel gunmen. He said he was hiding on the north bank of the Rio Grande.

 

A GPS pin on WhatsApp showed he was just outside the town of Hidalgo, Texas, not far from the international bridge. He wanted David to call the police or Border Patrol to come pick him up before the cartel found him. David got ahold of the local police but they said it was Border Patrol’s responsibility, and no one picked up the phone at the McAllen Border Patrol station that night.

 

Osniel’s last communication, via WhatsApp, was at 5:52 a.m. The GPS pin showed he was on the U.S. side of the border, near the riverbank. We haven’t heard from him since.

Pelosi When Asked About Pro-Life Centers Being Firebombed: “I’m a Very Catholic Person” and I Believe in a Woman’s Right to Choose

 

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday was asked about the pro-life pregnancy centers being firebombed and vandalized.

 

Far-left terrorist organization “Jane’s Revenge” firebombed a pro-life pregnancy center in Buffalo, New York last Tuesday morning.

 

Fire officials say the firebombing caused at least $150,000 worth of damage to the structure, Buffalo News reported.

 

Jane’s Revenge recently took responsibility for vandalizing a DC crisis pregnancy center.

 

Pelosi refused to condemn the left-wing terrorism and droned on about how she’s a “very Catholic person” who believes in a woman’s right to choose.

 

“I’m a very Catholic person and I believe in every woman’s right to make her own decisions,” Pelosi said.
