White House Using NEA to Push Partisan Agenda

Posted on by

The White House is now directing the NEA to use its funding to support Pro-Obama art on hotly debated issues such as health care, education, and the environment. Toward the goal of creating art that inspires the masses in those areas similar to the now famouse Hope Poster did during the campaign.

Debating the role of government is and has been the goal of bringing this conference call to light. The NEA tainted the creative process by encouraging the art community to address highly controversial political issues. ‘How?’ you may ask. The NEA is the largest single funder of the arts in the United States. This government agency has the power and ability to fund arts organizations and recently expressed a desire to return to funding individual artists, bringing more from the group into the pool of potential grantees.

The NEA did encourage a handpicked, pro-Obama arts group to address issues under contentious national debate. That fact is irrefutable.

This practice has never been the historical role of the NEA. The NEA’s role is to support excellence in the arts, to increase access to the arts, and to be a leader in arts education. Using the arts to address contentiously debated issues is political subversion. And the fact that the White House played a role in encouraging the arts to address contentious issues should also be considered a government overreach. – bighollywood.breitbart.com

Pimp & Prostitute Sting 4th Acorn Office

Posted on by

Following up on our earlier story: Amid ACORN’s claims of one time occurrences, it’s FOURTH office gladly jumps at the chance to help a Pimp & Hoe break the law.\

A fourth video by an independent filmmaker posing as a pimp along with a purported prostitute has surfaced depicting an ACORN staffer in California assisting the couple in their quest to obtain housing for their illegal sex business.

Much like in their previous undercover stings at the group’s offices in Baltimore, Washington and Brooklyn, N.Y., filmmaker James O’Keefe, 25, and his 20-year-old partner Hannah Giles, who posed as a prostitute named “Eden,” were given assistance on Aug. 17 from a staffer at ACORN’s office in San Bernardino on how to avoid detection by law enforcement. The couple even tell ACORN staffer Tresa Kaelke – who admits on the videotape to previously having sex for money – that they plan on bringing in 12 girls from El Salvador to work in a home they hope to acquire via the community organization.

Acorn Helps Pimp Get Government Money To Start Brothel

Posted on by

If you haven’t seen the videos of Acorn helping pimps and prositutes… we’ll you need to. (glad Obama’s time with Acorn didn’t teach him any of these tatics)

A famous community organizer once said, “The only way to upset the power structure in your communities is to goad them, confuse them, irritate them and, most of all, make them live by their own rules. If you make them live by their own rules, you destroy them.”

The scenario we posed the ACORN Housing employees in Baltimore is due to the application of similar power tactics. We gave ACORN a taste of its own medicine. ACORN was alleged to be thug-like, criminal, and nefarious. This criminal behavior was evidenced by a video of Baltimore ACORN community organizers breaking the locks on foreclosed homes. Instead of railing against their radicalism, it is best to bring out this type of radicalism. Hannah Giles and I took advantage of ACORN’s regard for thug criminality by posing the most ridiculous criminal scenario we could think of and seeing if they would comply-which they did without hesitation.

Additionally, instead of focusing on foreclosure itself, which has become seemingly as politicized as abortion, we focused on crimes more difficult for the left to defend: trafficking of young helpless girls and tax evasion. The first group represents the severely disadvantaged, the second a threat to the distribution of wealth.

While manipulation or entrapment occurs when people are encouraged to do things they otherwise wouldn’t, the pre-set trap is their own. These tactics allow the viewer to see ACORN’s soul; their playing field and their morality, out in the open. Their system is based on conflict and change for its own sake. This system is based on totalitarian principles and class war techniques. These people understand pressure, power and self-interest. When the Baltimore employees saw we were shady dealers, their instincts clicked in, as we were prime recruits.

ACORN has ascended. They elect our politicians and receive billions in tax money. Their world is a revolutionary, socialistic, atheistic world, where all means are justifiable. And they create chaos, again, for it’s own sake. It is time for us to be studying and applying their tactics, many of which are ideologically neutral. It is time, as Hannah said as we walked out of the ACORN facility, for conservative activists to “create chaos for glory.” – BigGovernment.com

How Fast Are The New Intel CULV Chips?

Posted on by

So Intel released some new CULV chips this week.  Awesome!  You can even order them today from Dell and others… but how do they stack up in comparison to the Atom chips and other CULV chips?

Intel already has some CULV chips out and about like the Dell 11z’s Celeron™ 723 (1.2GHz/800MHz FSB/1MB cache) that frankly is only marginally better than the standard Atom.  Their new chips however are based on the Core 2 Duo which potentially should be a much stronger work horse.  But how much stronger?

Sadly even with all the new devices announce, there is not a single review of even a pre-production unit to give us an idea of how these new chips will stack up.  So we are forced to turn to our old pal: Math.  ;)

We took the known processing power of the older Core 2 Duo U7600 @ 1.20GHz (2MB cache 533MHz FSB) of the Sony Vaio TZ and the more recent Core 2 Duo SL9400 @ 1.86GHz (6M cache 1066 MHz FSB) of the HP EliteBook 2530p to determine the horsepower per clock.  The new chips sit between these reference chips in terms of cache and bus speed so we averaged their prime calcs per cycle.  Don’t worry, we won’t bore you with the math – here’s the estimated wPrime 32M times for the new chips:

Core 2 Duo SU7300 1.3ghz 800 MHz, 3 MB cache – wPrime: 64.2 sec

Core 2 Duo SU9400 1.4ghz 800 MHz, 3 MB cache – wPrime: 59.6 sec

For comparison: Intel Atom N280 @ 1.66GHz – wPrime: 114.7 sec

For comparison: Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 @ 2.53GHz – wPrime: 30.9 sec

So even at the relatively slow 1.3 Ghz in the upcoming 11″-12″ almost-netbooks, the Core 2 Duo CULVs should be a huge improvement over the Atom in processing power.  And with a TDP of only 10W instead of the the normal 25-35W for notebook Core 2 Duos – the new chips should easily carve out a new niche between netbooks and notebooks.

UPDATE:  I was reminded that you don’t even need FRAPs as you can simply pull down the console (tab) and type “stat fps” to display the frames per second in the corner and even keeps a running average for you.  How easy is that!
