What Does Gettysburg Have To Do With WWII??? | American Artifact Episode 170

youtube.com/watch?v=4dTJjImG-m…

Many who have watched the American Artifact series have asked the question, "What does Gettysburg have to do with WWII?" Well, the history of Gettysburg didn't stop in 1863. In this episode, we're bringing an artifact from The Gettysburg Museum of History to a spot in Gettysburg that shows how the history of Gettysburg is very much entwined with WWII.

My professional contacts are acting strange. The ones who know that I'm a weak fit for government research are shutting me out. The ones who *don't* know that are desperately reaching out.

There's a stupidly huge number of job postings for DoD contractors. They actually pay industry standard - they usually pay garbage.

Something's happening, I don't know what it is.

I personally suspect that our government is trying to develop some previously inconceivable military technology. I'll call such a secret project "Z," out of ignorance of what it actually is. My discipline is highly specialized, but it's also so broadly applicable that "our government wants CMD to be useful" gives zero fucking information other than "there's a camera of some kind somewhere" which could easily just mean 'we want new face detection tech to keep Z out of our enemy's hands."

The US has been atrocious at keeping secrets for decades. DOGE was obviously a government purge - I suspect that this was actually done to throw out people who our government suspects would leak information about Z. That is, this was a transition from a pseudo-peacetime civil service to a wartime civil service.

Our government is trying to scrape up scientists from the streets right now - if it wasn't, I wouldn't know shit. It cannot find enough suitable scientists to develop Z. That must mean Z is either big enough that it requires a stupidly huge number of scientists, or the US scientific community is full of people unfit to work on Z. I'd suspect it's the latter - American scientists are mostly driven by one of two desires: the desire to publish public research or money.

Patriotism in the scientific community is very low. Unfortunately, the scientists that *do* fill our National Labs are...not the best, nor the brightest. They're usually driven by the desire for a stable job where they don't have to compete...a desire held by incompetent people. They are not *idiots*, but they are undeniably outclassed by the typical university professor, and they are comically outclassed by people selling you ads.

I think we're looking at a second nuke race. I don't know what the next "nuke" is, but whatever it is the US government is trying to make it right now.

The Administration Plans to Defund the US Chemical Safety Board. In Response, They've Produced This Video.
I find it disgusting that they feel the need to appeal to their importance for economic activity. Safety should be a worthy enough goal to maintain such a lightweight organization. Trump says he wants to bring industry back to America. With moves like this, it's clear the actual intent is to keep workers subservient and expendable.

View from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon today. Blue sky, a few clouds on the horizon, and temperatures in the 70s. A trail that heads down towards the Colorado River appears as a faint line (center right). Trees dot the slopes in the foreground. A snaking line of vegetation can be seen in the lower right. Shade and natural water sources support plants and animals. Temperatures rise as one descends into the canyon, in summer and in winter months. From all angles, the colors of the rocks dominate the scene.

The "official" Linux kernel, straight from Linus Torvalds and all the kernel developers, you generally see a new version every 2 to 2 and a half months.

All stable versions of the Linux kernel are numbered in the usual scheme, so major number DOT minor number, but they also have really strange codenames. Some distros tend to modify these kernels with additional patches, or features that haven't been added yet, which is why you can see some kernel versions with a "-ubuntu" at the end for example.

Certain kernel versions are also marked as LTS, meaning Long Term support. These are versions that will be supported for much longer, up to 6 years. The Linux kernel project recently reduced that support window to 2 years.

Since both the stable and LTS kernels ship with some non free firmware, there's the Kernel Libre project, which removes all of that, to only ship software and code that is completely free, as in freedom..

Next, we have the hardened kernel. It's not an "official" project per se, it's a kernel version that certain distros ship in their repos, like Arch Linux for example. It's the stable kernel, with an additional patch set applied to it to make it more resilient security-wise.

Next, we have the realtime kernel. The goal is to reduce the latency between a task being assigned to the CPU, and its execution, and it's mainly meant for industrial applications, or for audio production.
This, in turn, makes it less efficient for multi tasking, and it requires a lot more manual config to be efficient, and applications need to be specifically tailored to take advantage of this lower latency.

The low latency kernel variants do the same thing, but at a lesser degree: it still lets you pre-empt CPU threads like the real time kernel, but it isn't as regular as the realtime kernel.

The Android kernel is focused on supporting a specific category of devices, meaning that it has optimizations for these exact things.

The Zen kernel applies a few fixes and improvements meant to have the best performance and experience for linux desktop users. It's also packaged as the Liquorix kernel for Ubuntu or Debian, and other distros, although Liquorix isn't exactly like the Zen kernel.

Another version is the XanMod kernel, with sort of the same optimization as the Zen kernel, and a few more on top of that, with the same goal: improving the performance of Linux systems.

Finally, we have the TKG kernels, and I'm saying kernels, because TKG isn't a specific Linux kernel you can download and use, it's more like a build system that lets you choose a few specific patches and compile your own kernel with that.

What we (as in humanity) need to do is find a truly objective person to make the ultimate sacrifice. We'd have to compensate them with something outrageous like unlimited wealth for life. But the person would have to be a completely normal sexually active adult. Then give them the trans genital surgery. And have them report on the true efficacy of these surgeries.

The reason our army of Holden Bloodfeasts clapped for Bibi the way they did is because he is one of them. The United States and Israel act as one geopolitical unit, and they act in lockstep.

While their domestic affairs are completely segregated, Israel is an extension of the United States for all practical military and diplomatic purposes.

This is the motivation behind my use of the term "US-Israel", and this is one of the reasons I dislike people who imply that the United States is a slave to Israel or whatever.

People who talk about how Israel controls America are bad for 3 reasons:

A) it's not true
B) it has at least a passing resemblance to neo-Nazi David Duke's "ZOG" conspiracy theory that makes me uncomfortable
C) it's a way of laundering the reputation of the United States by portraying the colonialist policies of the state of Israel as an aberration that the "real America" wouldn't support, when this contradicts everything in US history ever.

Israel is a semi-autonomous suzerainty of the United States in practice. Without imperialism, Israel would not exist.

Jabotinsky and other founding Zionists have deliberately worked to maintain this strategy for more than a century. First it was Britain, but Britain's imperial power collapsed. Then, Israel moved to change its alignment towards the United States.

The strategy detailed in the Iron Wall has succeeded beyond Ze'ev's wildest dreams.

When they take over a company, they split the property assets into a distinct division from the operation of the business, then they forced the operation part of the business and now pay rent to the asset side of the business and they pocket that money. The operation side of the business is then stripped of its income. They pay it as tribute to these assholes and that causes: a loss of service, inflation, and job cuts.

We have words for that: sacking and pillaging.

Empowering Youth Through Traditional Martial Arts Training

I. Comprehensive Development Programs for Singapore Children


Active children throughout Singapore can transform their natural energy into productive skill development through our specialized Taekwondo classes. OP Academy creates martial arts experiences that seamlessly blend physical training with character development, resulting in comprehensive personal growth.

Our training centers at Yishun Sunshine and Linear Green at Bedok provide convenient access for families seeking premier martial arts for kids Singapore instruction. Each facility maintains consistent excellence in teaching quality and student safety standards. The strategic positioning of these locations reflects our understanding of Singapore's diverse neighborhoods and the need for accessible, high-quality martial arts education throughout the island.

II. Engaging Modern Youth Through Traditional Methods


The effectiveness of our kids taekwondo lesson programs stems from understanding contemporary learning preferences while honoring traditional martial arts principles. Interactive instruction methods maintain student interest while reinforcing fundamental concepts through practical demonstration and application. Our instructors recognize that modern children require varied teaching approaches that combine traditional discipline with engaging presentation methods that hold their attention and foster genuine enthusiasm for learning.

Structured advancement systems provide clear developmental pathways that encourage sustained commitment. Regular testing periods and belt promotion ceremonies recognize individual progress while illustrating the relationship between consistent effort and meaningful achievement. These milestone events become significant markers in a child's development, creating positive associations with goal-setting, persistent effort, and personal accomplishment that extend far beyond martial arts training into academic and personal pursuits.

Social connections develop naturally as students train alongside peers consistently. These training relationships often evolve into friendships that extend beyond martial arts practice, creating supportive communities that reinforce continued participation and personal development. The bonds formed during challenging training sessions prove particularly strong because they are built on mutual respect, shared struggles, and collective celebration of individual and group achievements.

Empowering Youth Through Traditional Martial Arts Training

III. Essential Life Skills Development


Our Taekwondo classes Singapore address contemporary challenges while building physical competence. The bully-proof elements of training specifically cultivate the quiet confidence that research indicates effectively prevents aggressive encounters with peers. This confidence develops through a combination of physical skill acquisition, mental conditioning, and positive reinforcement that creates an internal sense of capability without fostering arrogance or aggressive behavior.

Self-defense class Singapore instruction emphasizes awareness and graduated response techniques appropriate for different developmental stages. Students learn to identify potentially difficult situations and respond with measured reactions that prioritize peaceful solutions. The curriculum includes comprehensive scenario training that helps children develop quick assessment skills while maintaining focus on de-escalation strategies and appropriate response levels.

Educational benefits commonly accompany regular martial arts participation. The focus and self-discipline cultivated through consistent training often enhance academic performance through improved concentration and better study habits. Parents frequently report significant improvements in their children's homework completion rates, classroom behavior, and overall academic performance after beginning martial arts training, as the mental discipline learned through physical practice transfers directly to intellectual pursuits.

IV. Convenient Training Access


OP Academy selected facility locations based on accessibility and quality considerations for Singapore families. The Yishun Sunshine center features modern equipment and generous training spaces with specialized martial arts flooring that ensures safe practice conditions. This northern Singapore facility serves families throughout the region with convenient parking facilities and excellent public transportation connections, making consistent participation manageable even for families with complex scheduling requirements.

Our Linear Green at Bedok facility serves eastern Singapore with comparable equipment and flexible scheduling that works with various family obligations. Both locations include designated observation areas where parents can watch classes without interfering with instruction. These viewing areas provide comfortable seating arrangements with clear sightlines that allow parents to monitor their children's progress while maintaining the focused training environment necessary for effective martial arts education.

The proximity to Marine Drive Gardens and surrounding residential areas makes our eastern facility particularly convenient for families in those neighborhoods who value quality programming within reasonable commuting distances.

V. Personalized Development Approach


Each student brings unique learning styles and developmental characteristics to our programs. Our experienced instructors adjust their teaching techniques accordingly, ensuring individualized attention that supports personal growth throughout the martial arts journey. Some children respond better to visual demonstrations while others prefer hands-on guidance, and our skilled staff adapts their instructional methods to match each student's preferred learning approach effectively.

The complete development achieved through dedicated Taekwondo training includes physical fitness, mental discipline, and character formation. Students learn respect, determination, and self-control while engaging in activities they truly enjoy. Our adult self-defence programs provide similar comprehensive development opportunities for parents who wish to pursue their own martial arts training or gain a deeper understanding of their children's experiences.

Schedule a complimentary introductory class today to discover how OP Academy's Taekwondo for kids Singapore programs successfully integrate enjoyment with substantial skill development, establishing strong foundations for continued personal growth through martial arts training.
