Report: Chinese credit card processor rebuffs Russian banks

BEIJING (AP) — China’s credit card processor has refused to work with banks in Russia for fear of being targeted by sanctions over its war on Ukraine, cutting off a possible alternative after Visa and Mastercard stopped serving them, according to the Russian news outlet RBC.

UnionPay’s decision affects Sberbank, Russia’s biggest commercial bank, and smaller institutions, RBC reported Wednesday. It cited five unidentified sources in large Russian banks.
...
Other banks cited by RBC include Alfa Bank, VTB, Otkrytie and Promsvyazbank.

Good work:

https://nypost.com/2022/05/16/lyft-driver-goes-viral-for-refusing-ride-for-woman-over-racist-remarks/

Quote
A Lyft driver in Pennsylvania ordered a couple out of his car after the woman made racist remarks, expressing surprise to see a “white guy” behind the wheel, video shows.

Driver James Bode posted a video of the alarming exchange, which took place Friday outside a drinking hole in Catasauqua called Fossil’s Last Stand, the Morning Call reported.

“Wow, you’re like a white guy,” the woman tells the shocked Bode.

“What’s that?” he says. “Excuse me?”

“You’re like a normal guy, like you speak English,” the woman says, laughingly, as she pats his shoulder and adds, “Sorry.”

“Nah, you can get out of the car,” Bode tells her. “That’s inappropriate, that’s completely inappropriate. If somebody was not white sitting in this seat, what would be the difference?”

“Are you serious?” she asks.

When her male companion steps inside the vehicle, Bode tells him about what she had said and asks the couple to leave.

But the man turns indignant and is heard cursing Bode.

“You’re a f—- ****,” the man says.

“It’s all on camera, man,” Bode informs them.

“You’re a piece of s—-. I should punch you in the f—- face,” the man continues.

“You’re going to threaten me — assault?” Bode says.

When Bode says the two are racist, the man calls him a “f—- n—- lover” and tells him to “get the f—- out of here.”

“No, I’m calling the cops on you, man,” Bode says. “It’s all on camera.”
...
“Thank you for showing how to calmly and courageously be anti-racist. I respect and admire you,” one user wrote on his post.
...
The Morning Call identified the woman as bar owner Jackie Harford, who reportedly shut down the joint’s website and Facebook page, as well as deleted her personal page.
...
Meanwhile, Hartford’s bar — Fossil’s Last Stand — was slammed with one-star ratings on Yelp amid the fallout.

Of course, this is not over until both Harford's and her companion's bloodlines are eliminated.

"How DARE you accuse me and my wife of being racist, you **** lover!"

These people sure are something else. The husband probably "respects women and has black friends" as well

Pay for cable or satellite TV? You’re subsidizing Fox News whether you watch it or not.

Your cable or satellite TV provider pays a subscriber fee to carry Fox News. That cost is passed directly on to YOU.

Every network charges cable and satellite providers a small fee per subscriber; the one for Fox News is extraordinarily high. A typical household pays Fox News almost $2 per month—about $20 per year— via their cable or satellite provider, regardless of whether they actually watch the channel.

In 2021, a wave of big contracts between Fox News and TV providers for subscriber fees are set to expire. These contracts make up about 65% if Fox News’ subscriber fee revenue. If we want to stop paying the Fox News “tax,” now is the time to act.

https://www.southbendtribune.com/story/news/2022/05/20/notre-dame-responds-john-gaski-writing-buffalo-shooter-payton-gendron-manifesto/9852623002/

Quote
SOUTH BEND — Notre Dame officials say they are appalled that an article authored by a Mendoza College of Business associate professor was cited in a white supremacist justification written by the suspected gunman believed to have killed 10 Black shoppers in an apparent racism-driven rampage last weekend in a Buffalo, NY, grocery store.

But Notre Dame officials stopped short of condemning the contents of the article from nearly nine years ago, and did not address the faculty members' employment status with the university.

The writings of the associate professor, John Gaski, came to light this week after social media posts drew attention to a 2013 story published by Investor's Business Daily, a website specializing in business news and stock market analysis.
...
Notre Dame's statement Thursday quickly triggered reaction on social media voicing disappointment in "weak" language used to address the situation.

"Why aren't you appalled by the racist article itself .@NotreDame?" one Twitter user wrote.

"This statement is a whole lot of nothing," another wrote. "A racist terrorist cited the work of one of your associate professors before one of the worst attacks in the recent history, and THIS is the best you could come up with?"

BOYCOTT NOTRE DAME!

By the way, Gaski also looks like what we would expect:

We need more of this:

https://www.amren.com/news/2022/06/student-kicked-out-of-uk-college-for-supporting-deportation-of-illegal-immigrants/

Quote
“Today my college has refused to take me on for a second year because I made some tweets they didn’t like about Rwanda,” tweeted Liam O’Malley. “That is the state of Modern Britain.”

According to O’Malley, he has been effectively expelled from Burnley College for endorsing the Conservative government’s immigration policy.

The tweet:



Since he claims to like Rwandan weather, he should migrate there himself (while refugees who like UK weather should be allowed to stay in the UK). Since he hasn't migrated to Rwanda himself, his praise of Rwanda is obviously disingenuous. Disingenuous tribalists do not deserve a college spot. Well done Burnley!



Of course, the problem is not solved by cancelling his college spot alone. His bloodline needs to be eliminated.

https://reason.com/2022/06/30/criticizing-lack-of-grocery-stores-in-the-south-bronx-means-twitter-mob-will-request-your-firing/

Quote
"I've literally been to like five of those now, and I don't know what the **** I'm about to do for dinner," said NYC newcomer Griffin Green in a TikTok video posted this past week, referring to the bodegas of the South Bronx. "Like, where are the Krogers and the Whole Foods at? I'm about to eat fuckin' cereal and ramen for dinner," Green continued.

This, and other TikTok videos in the style of day-in-the-life vlogs (that have since been roasted and riffed on), seem to have gotten him fired from software company Outreach, which had hired him as an entry-level sales development representative. "I'm in the Bronx for a few weeks so I'm like the only white dude in this whole gym, so I got this NAACP shirt so these people vibe with me more," said Green in one video. He talked about how many gay people there are in NYC (during Pride celebrations) in another, innocuously displaying dude-from-Michigan-lands-in-the-big-city culture shock.

Thank you, Outreach!



Quote
Are software companies in the business of moral adjudication? What types of moral indicators are they looking for, per whose standards?

But companies fear being the mob's target of the week more than they fear hastily punishing innocent people. Consider the case of Emma Sarley, who in fall 2021 was fired from her job at tech company Bevy after allegedly telling a black couple "stay in your hood" after an altercation in a Williamsburg, Brooklyn, dog park.

I fail to see a problem. Thank you, Bevy!



Quote
Sarley's case took Bevy CEO Derek Andersen less than 48 hours to rule on. She was quickly fired, just as Green was quickly fired from Outreach. Perhaps this indicates appropriate risk calculation from management. Or perhaps it indicates something more insidious: that our poorly worded jokes or clumsy invectives in moments of frustration can be found by bad actors on the internet, trotted out for all to mock, and assumed to be representative of our character. No mercy, no weighing of our own account of what happened, and certainly no job at the end of the public cross-examination.

How is it not representative of your character?

Our enemies are now defending Lana Del Ray from a leftist cancellation attempt:

https://vdare.com/articles/lana-del-rey-too-good-or-too-white

Quote
One social media post read:

    Girl, if you don’t shut your mouth…you’re only making **** harder for yourself. You literally didn’t need to say anything about this.

 Another comment read:

    Lana we’re tired please stop. Your white is showing.

The recriminations continued for months.
...
A blogger named Holly Mosley opined that Del Rey had “fragility” issues. “It’s probably about time,” Mosley wrote, “she learned to tone down the attitude when responding to such criticisms before she makes matters even worse for herself” [Racism or Fragility: We Need to Talk About Lana Del Rey, by Holly Mosley, ContactMusic, January 11, 2021].

A black blogger, Lauren McEwen, in a hit piece titled “Lana Del Rey Has Always Been Problematic, We Just Never Talked About It,” called out the singer’s “history with race and internalized misogyny” as enabling “white people who traffic in casual, underhanded, or coded racism shut down the moment they are called out for their behavior.”
...
[T] his society was built on a racist, patriarchal system, and those who refuse to listen to women of color when they are called out for this kind [Del Rey’s kind] of behavior are doomed to repeat it.
...
Cancel culture is real. Its enforcers, heavily female, have their knives out for Lana Del Rey because she hasn’t apologized for her exquisite Celtic whiteness.
...
Canadian poet-social justice activist El Jones explains how violators of race and gender protocol should be treated:

    When we cancel somebody, we’re basically saying that a person has done something harmful and we want people to know about it and for them to face consequences for it.
...
Lana Del Rey deserves her large and loyal audience. Her talentless tormenters, consumed with rage over her “problematic” twin offenses of artistic genius and white beauty, deserve nothing of the sort. They need to get a life and respect her independence.

But of course, they won’t. That’s why Lana Del Rey needs our support—whether she appreciates it or not!

Who wrote the above enemy article?

Quote
Carl Horowitz [Email him] is a veteran Washington, D.C. area writer on immigration and other issues.

Once again:

https://trueleft.createaforum.com/true-left-vs-false-left/jews-have-nothing-in-common-with-us!/

And don't forget to laugh at Horowitz's praise of Del Ray's looks, given she looks like this:



Anyway, what else do we need to know about Del Ray?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lana_Del_Rey#Social_views

Quote
Del Rey stated: "For me, the issue of feminism is just not an interesting concept. I'm more interested in ... SpaceX and Tesla, what's going to happen with our intergalactic possibilities. Whenever people bring up feminism ... I'm just not really that interested."[265]

We have our conclusion: CANCEL DEL RAY!

BOYCOTT MORTON'S!

https://www.yahoo.com/news/mortons-flooded-phone-calls-fake-195706339.html

Quote
A steakhouse chain is being flooded with phone calls and fake reservations over its defense of Associate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's "right" to "eat dinner" at one of its restaurants, where demonstrators gathered outside to protest his support of overturning Roe v. Wade.

Morton's this week sent a memo to its restaurant managers telling them to brace for more backlash to its remarks defending the jurist, Politico reported Saturday.
...
In addition to the phone calls and phony reservations, the Morton's restaurant where Kavanaugh dined has seen a handful of 1-star Google reviews opposing its initial statement.

CANCEL TINA FEY!

https://www.yahoo.com/news/not-fetch-tina-feys-allegedly-233804947.html

Quote
Tina Fey is facing backlash after TikTok videos showing the comedian-actor making Asian people the butt of her jokes and purportedly normalizing anti-Asian racism went viral.
...
“She has a very specific way of talking, that I realized she kind of sounds like a prostitute in a Vietnam movie,” Fey says, drawing laughter from the audience. Fey then goes on to mock a Vietnamese accent, comparing her daughter’s speech to the lewd, stereotypical depictions of Vietnamese women on screen.
...
@Buiside also goes on to mention how she makes a joke out of Asian people in several of her movies and shows, from Korean nail salon workers who speak broken English in the 2015 comedy movie “Sisters” to Dong Nguyen’s character in the Netflix sit-com “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.”

“She casts a Korean guy to play a Vietnamese refugee. And the problem that I had with that is that he had to speak Vietnamese for his lines,” says @Buiside. “He also needed to have a Vietnamese accent, which he butchers both because he’s Korean.”

The TikTok user continues, “The worst part is she named him Dong Nyugen. And there’s a running joke that his name means ‘****.’ She even makes him say a joke that ‘Kimmy’ means ‘****’ in Vietnamese — which it doesn’t. But she doesn’t even care to be correct. Because at the end of the day she makes being Asian the joke, itself.”

“If you want to know why racism is so normalized in the U.S., it’s because of people like her. And how she portrays Asian people in her media. It’s disrespectful,” he concludes.

Introducing the shameless Amy Wax Defence Against Cancellation:

https://www.thedp.com/article/2022/09/penn-law-amy-wax-memorandum-postpone-proceedings

Quote
Amy Wax's legal team submitted a memorandum seeking the dismissal of the ongoing University disciplinary proceedings against her on grounds of a "disabled state" from illness.

The 59-page memorandum claims that Wax — the tenured Penn Law School professor who is facing potential punishment for her inflammatory conduct — is undergoing treatment for “life-threatening” cancer, and asks for postponement of the ongoing proceedings until “at least” the end of the year. David Shapiro, Wax’s lawyer, sent the document to Faculty Senate Chair Vivian L. Gadsden, who is overseeing the proceedings, on Aug. 31.
...
The memorandum from Wax’s lawyers claims that during the proceedings, Ruger has refused to provide medical accommodation to Wax throughout her cancer treatment under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The memorandum asked Gadsden to delay the current proceedings until Wax’s “disabled state” from treatment has abated, portraying their request as an issue of fairness.

If she really wanted to prioritize medical treatment, she could voluntarily quit, thereby immediately ending the proceedings against her!

Quote
O’Garro-Moore added that Wax represents someone who is testing how far she can get away with “unchecked” influence and protection while hurting those who have encountered her.

This.

https://rmx.news/crime/somalia-is-a-shthole-country-following-deadly-knife-attack-by-migrant-berlin-public-broadcaster-fires-journalist-for-criticizing-somalia/

Quote
“Somalia is a shithole country with Stone Age culture. When a migrant from Somalia stabs two people and injures two others, that’s a problem. When this happens 800 meters from your parents, in the place where you grew up, it’s shocking,” wrote former RBB journalist Jan A. Karon, who was born in Poland but grew up in Germany.

Poland is a Turandom country with Western culture. When a journalist from Poland calls Somalia a "shithole country", that is a problem. When this happens in Germany, in the place where Hitler once ruled and heroically invaded Poland from, it's shocking.

Quote
Shortly after Karon’s post criticizing Somalia, a left-wing “anti-racism” activist, Jasmina Kuhnke labeled Karon’s tweet as “hate speech” and wrote to RBB’s Twitter feed demanding consequences for the 30-year-old employee’s statement. RBB quickly responded, writing, “We understand and share the criticism of the statements.”

Thank you, Kuhnke and RBB!

It's OK for commencement speeches to be "white"?



As I always say, a sincere apology would include cutting off his own tongue. He has not done this, therefore he has not apologized.

CANCEL PURDUE UNIVERSITY!

Woke comments:

Quote
His apology is pure BS!!! As a college chancellor to call it off the cuff is just egregiously  wrong & truly reflects his true attitudes.

Quote
that so-called 'apology' hit every marker for a NON-apology. 

it was an "unplanned response to another speaker"-- i.e. this was a private thing between that speaker and me and you wouldn't understand/you have misunderstood.

"my words have caused confusion, pain, and anger"--  (1)  my words, not me. 
(2)  confusion as in you don't understand (again), your fault, your problem. 
(3)  anger as in your fault, your problem for being incapable of understanding. 
(4)  pain as in i'm sorry you feel that way-- i.e. your fault, your problem.

"we are all human, i made a mistake"-- i.e. i'm being persecuted here.

"i assure you i did not intend to be hurtful..."--  i.e. i'm such a racist that i thought what i said was all in good fun.

"my comments do not reflect my personal values."-- this could mean two things.  either
racist words randomly spew forth from my mouth unbidden, or
i was forced to say what i'm saying right here in this bullshite apology.

a real apology says i hurt you, i feel terrible about it, i will do what you need me to do to fix it if that's possible, and i won't do it again.

Quote
It’s not just the racist mockery, but the fact that he believed (and may still do) it was “funny” qualified
as a joke tells you more about this guy (and those around him who laughed at his “joke”).  Somebody like this shouldn’t be a school custodian, let alone a University chancellor. Purdue is  a joke for continuing to support this guy.

Quote
The fact that Chancellor Keon was comfortable enough to make such an ignorant and insensitive remark at a public event makes one wonder what he says behind closed doors.

Quote
The thing is...this is something he did without thinking about it...which means he does this every day

Quote
People like this person do this all the time when he is around his family and friends

Quote
How the hell can someone be so out of touch with reality to think that they can say that in public, to a large crowd of people, and not suffer the consequences of their actions?

Quote
Q: "...and not suffer the consequences of their actions?" A: He's a white man.

Quote
This was not off the CUFF This was in his heart on his mind because it's in their Blood. This is who they're and they will never change. They will only say that they're Sorry. But they're not

Quote
It’s not just the chancellor as mentioned those professors behind him are laughing too. This is very telling about this institution.

Quote
The plan is to offer a few words of appeasement,  pretend to be have a 'diverse' task force offer their input, and when things die down, to continue business as usual.  A  'they'll get over it'  approach.  They will laugh it off in private.

Quote
these people think it will just go away if they apologize.

Quote
Everyone who laughed along to the racist 'joke' should be fired as well.  In fact, anyone on the faculty who didn't vociferously object to the racism at the time should be fired.

Quote
Pretty much everyone else sitting on that stage laughed, not a single one showed any surprise, anger, or disapproval of what was said.

Quote
This is the new kind of racism, say racist comments and then others come along and gaslight and excuse the behavior.  This normalizes the behavior and action.

Quote
This is one of the things that happens when a group allows others to prop them up as the model minority and stay out of the fight against prejudice for so long.  I am so glad that more Asian people are starting to wake up and speak out against bigotry
