Founders of Black Lives Matters Are Trained Marxists

Many have questioned the intentions of Black Lives Matter, as they seem to ignore the thousands of black men, women and children, killed in Democrat run cities, and focus only on the relatively few blacks killed by the police. The reason is simple, as described by Don Lemon of CNN, BLM focuses is mainly anti-police and not on black-on-black crime. In other words Black Lives Matter is simply the name they go buy, not their focus. Further they are admitted Marxists; in a newly surfaced video co-founder Patrisse Cullors says she, and the other co-founder Alicia Garza, are trained Marxist. BLM Co-founder Describes Herself as Trained Marxist I has also been revealed, Cullors was mentored/trained by Eric Mann, who like Bill Aires, was a member of the 1960s violent Marxist group, the Weather Underground. So BLM is less a civil rights group and more a political organization intent on overthrowing the US Constitution, by any means necessary.

BLM Revolution; but if you want money for minds that hate...

First let me say you are most likely not a white supremacist, neither are you likely a racist (your would likely know if you were). Both these have caused a problem for those that make a living maintaining Black victim-hood status. So these race baiters have declared whites are born racist, main stream America is systemically racist, so the only answer is to "defund" police department so they are free to end the American experiment of self rule through rioting and wide unabated criminal activity to frighten the American citizenry in to allowing them to put in it's place an oppressive Marxist regime.   

In Seattle they are now teaching white participants that  "objectivity," "individualism," "intellectualization," and "comfort" are all vestiges of internalized racial oppression. To “let go” of “comfort,” “guaranteed physical safety,” “control over the land,” “social status,” and “relationships with some other white people.” In other words, to expunge your internal racism you must never use discernment, you must never think for yourself (to think for yourself is the ultimate crime against Marxism) or intellectualize anything, or even have white friends. Further they say that wanting to feel comfort and being safety in your home means you are a white supremacist. This is ridiculously absurd but it does fall in line with classic Marxist indoctrination. Just like Winston Smith in 1984, victory for BLM Marxism is to breakdown a persons will and psyche, so they accept everything told to them by the powers that be,  especially if it is not grounded in truth or reality; the more ridiculous the better. The only thing that matters to Marxist is total control of the individual; hence the term totalitarian.  And it doesn't matter, what any white person does to be accountable to BLM, it will never be acceptable or enough. (Let me repeat this so it's perfectly clear, there is no way a white person can redeem themselves to BLM, any action or actions will always be seen as futile because collectivism needs an unrepentant enemy of the people to take hold). It would be no different than a sociopathic killer telling their victim they can beg for their lives if they want to; you are expected expected to beg for forgiveness, even though you know it will fail. And you will gladly do it because it is a mandate of the Marxist moral state which you should joyfully follow.

In the Black community you often hear about who is down for the struggle and who is an Uncle Tom for being successful by joining main stream America; the truth is that in today's main stream America blacks are welcomed with open arms . But what becomes very obvious is there is simply no path to success if you follow the down for the struggle credo. White Privilege is just another excuse in a long list of excuses why Blacks have not succeeded. The major flaw in this excuse is the blacks that do join main stream America tend to be very successful; you know the Uncle Toms, and while Blacks do experience some racism, it certainly is not pervasive or systematic. Many Blacks that live in Democrat ghettos, have Black mayors, Black police chiefs, Black assembly and council members and Black business owners. And since many Blacks in the ghettos refuse to leave the ghettos (being down with the struggle) and join what they call white main stream America. So White Privilege becomes more about something they hear about, as they rarely place themselves in a situation where, if White Privilege existed,  they would experience it.  The reason Blacks live in such poverty, in city ghettos with rampant crime, poor education, violent street gangs and broken families is because they have voted and relied on Democrats for the last 50 years. So the issues facing the Black community is not White Privilege, is is Democrat neglect.

The very belief that a single race shares a single belief is a racist (and absurd) unto itself. But such a belief system goes hand and hand with the Democrat racist worldview of identity politics, that professes all races have only one collective world view. This is s form of reverse Eugenics (Eugenics a form of rabid white supremacy embraced by Democrats in the late 19th century, that was praised by Planned Parenthood's Margarete Sanger and Hitler himself), that has been spelled out by Black Liberation Theology, embraced the rabidly antisemitic Louis Farrakhan, and President Obama's long time mentor, Rev Jeremiah Wright.  Therefore, BLM and the Democrats have seemingly aligned themselves with such an identity racist worldview, that one race is responsible for all the unfairness in the world.

As I pointed out before, Black Lives Matter is not a civil rights group, they are a hate group with a political agenda. The fact that thousands of young  men are being murdered is not their concern; their name notwithstanding. Their sole propose is to disrupt the country to make way for a Marxist regime. Their new catch word is white supremacy; 250 years since the Declaration of Independence, and 165 years after 600,000 Americans died in a civil war to end slavery, and 4 years since the first black President was elected, but now BLM decides the founding fathers were white supremacists, as are all whites today; and denying you are a white supremacist is absolute proof you are a white supremacist (This is truly a conundrum, since BLM tells us all whites are white supremacists, how can one be more of a white supremacists if they deny they are?) Of course none of this is supposed to make any sense anyway.

BLM Is Only Their Name

There is a lot of confusion about Black Lives Matter. The reason is obvious, with a name like BLM, one would naturally assume the organization purpose is to stop the taking of black lives; and you would be wrong. BLM is not a civil rights organization, they do nothing to help anyine, they are a political organization, BLM is just their name;in other words a marketing ploy. BLM is an anti-police, anti-America, pro-Marxists, and more in line with pro-Marxist terrorists groups like Antifa that use violence to achieve their end of a mythical Marxist utopia, that historically has led to mass graves. This is why BLM does not respond to questions about the thousands of blacks killed in Democrat controlled cities, as it does not forward their Marxist agenda; IOW black on black murder is not their issue, as the only black lives that matter to them are those associated with police contacts they can use to protest, riot, and show their disdain for America.

What BLM does do is capitalize on their continual claims of systemic racism aka white privilege. To prove such an non-issue they use the tried and true Democrat fallacy that correlation proves causation; IOW if a higher percentage of blacks are involved in the criminal justice system, it proves the criminal Justice system is racist. Never mind a high percentage of blacks live in Democrat ghettos with poor education, pandemic gang violence, drug use and of course poverty. Another issue that has been pointed out is most blacks children do not live in a stable home environment, where fathers are often not present. This is an issue for BLM but it's not what you think. Rather than encourage families to stay together, they disdain the concept of family. This is of course consistent with Marxist doctrine that says your children belong to the state and need to be taken from you at an early age to be indoctrinated as not to allow their minds being polluted with concepts of individual rights and freedom, over collective oppression (remember their is no such thing as collective rights, only government tyranny). 

As I discussed before, Americans have not been very receptive to Marxism, so instead BLM is using racism as the excuse to tear down America and replace it with a government controlled socialist state. Interestingly enough the likes of  Rep. Ilhan Omar,  Minnesota Democrat has claimed America is a “system of oppression (eg Capitalism)” in all sectors and must be torn down; her answer on the other hand, is the horribly oppressive system of Marxism with it's dehumanizing collective forced equality. One of the most obvious tactics is the attempt to stifle the free speech; they actually believe in the Marxist concept that speech they don't agree with should be treated as a physical assault, and to push their agenda accusing anyone that doesn't agree with their Marxist worldview as racist and has convinced corporate America to kowtow to their demands as they seek to destroy anyone taht dares exercise any free speech against them.  It's doubtful this will work, but the damage that will be done to the country will take decades to repair, and by using racism to try and forward their agenda, and will set race relations back 50 years.

We Flattened the Curve, Time to Get Back to Work

Much of the Covid-19 information we are hearing, is skewed for the sole purpose of making President Trump look bad. Probably the most egregious half truth has to do with "flattening the curve". While many may think this means stopping Cobid-19 infections, but it does not. The reality is you can not stop a virus pandemic; it will affect petty much everyone. But what you can so is slow the infection rate which lowers the curve by widening the time period. The purpose for this is to make sure hospitals are not overwhelmed with infected patients. Add to that an unexpected amount of asymptomatic infections, the need to further slow the infection rate at the cost hamstringing the economy with closures and sheltering  at home has long passed. But the left wing media keeps the drums pandemic panic sounding through the media. While the up tick (or surge if you listen to the media) of Covid-19, is not good thing, it is to be expected as we open up our country. What is important is the number of positive Covid-19 infection that result in hospitalization and deaths have hit all times lows; and those numbers has continued to decline.  The sheltering in place did it's job, it flattened the curve, so it's time to open the country and get back to work.

Edit, recent fake news reports tell us hospitals are filling up since Covid-19 sheltering and shut downs have ended. What they are not telling you is the vast majority, about 85% are non-covid-19 patients. The hospitals are now filling up with patients who's surgeries and treatments were put on hold unnecessarily during the Covid-19 scare, in the event there would be a rush on hospitals beds. The truth is many more people are testing positive for Covid-19, but most are asymptomatic, while actual Covid-19 deaths continue to fall.  

It's Not the Police

So where are we? The Covid-19 pandemic has been called off because a monster on the Minneapolis police force murdered a Black man. Then protests turned into riots and looting. Now there are calls for defunding law enforcement because racism is supposedly entrenched in the police community. One thing that is for sure, nothing will change, because the problem is not with law enforcement, nor is it white privilege, which like affirmative action, predisposes minority dependency. The problem is the systemic oppression of blacks in the Democrat cities where the protests and riots were the most violent. For over 50 years, Democrats have been pushing the narrative that blacks can not join main stream America, so they have to be dependent on Democrats for special considerations and government handouts. The big lie is the system is rigged against blacks and like all lies, told enough times, they are eventually believed.

To Protect and Serve

As we morn the death of Santa Cruz County Sgt Gutzwillier and pray for the recovery of Deputy Spencer, it should be pointed out that they are representative of over 99% of Peace Officers in this country that strive only to protect and serve their communities and it can be a very dangerous job. In 2015 President Obama stated, “Too often, law enforcement gets scapegoated for the broader failures of our society and criminal justice system,” and truer words are never been spoken. As a retired police supervisor I was constantly amazed by the professionalism and self policing that occurred among the ranks of the departments I worked for. Obviously there are exceptions, but one need look elsewhere when looking for systemic racism and hatred. To again quote President Obama, “I reject any narrative that seeks to divide police and communities they serve — that frames any discussion of public safety around ‘us’ and ‘them,'”

Woke Movement Trying to Erase History

The recent "woke" movement is nothing more than once more judging the past through the prism of contemporary standards to erase history. This is not unusual as those pushing this revolution, are like other totalitarian foot soldiers (e.g Fascism and Communism) always want to expunge the past so history will begin with their movement. Interestingly the foot soldiers for the movement, Antifa, believes that through anarchy and chaos, a fairer system with emerge. However, historically this has always led to an oppressive totalitarian government and they will have no use for the Brown shirts, or in this case the Black-shirts. This why historical ignorance is so important, as the history of totalitarian government are replete with eventual purges of the revolutionary storm troopers; with Communism is was the Bolsheviks and with Germany it was the Brown Shirts; ignorance of history also masks the horrific failures of such totalitarian regimes.

Antifa the Brown Shirts of the Democrat Party

There has often been comparisons over the years to Nazi Brownshirts, aka the SA; the vast majority of these comparisons never even approached the brutality of the SA, until the AntiFa thugs began their rein of terror. The SA would incite riots targeting Jewish businesses with vandalism and looting. Groups of the SA would attack solitary Jews and beat them with clubs and force them to lick their boots and break their teeth. The also toppled statues of Jews or anything else they deemed not to display the NAZI image. Of course, after Hitler had consolidated power, the SA presented a problem as they were loyal to their leader Ernst Röhm and so a threat to the NAZI party. So on June 30, 1934 or the Night of the Long Knives, Hitler massacred the SA leadership and hundreds of the SA Storm Troopers; something the AnitiFs Storm Troopers might want to consider. 

Do we want Communism?

Those responsible for the recent social unrest, claim due to the unfairness of capitalism, our current form of government needs to be torn down and replaced with a new inclusive government. By all accounts the government being considered to replace our system of self rule and individual rights; eg the right to determined ones own destiny, is Marxist communism. Communism always creates a two class system, with the totalitarian oppressors at the top  and the oppressed workers (proletariat) on the bottom. In other words, only a system of government that attempts to regulate and  control every aspect of the proletariat's life and thoughts, can remove what they see as an unfair world.  This would require a long and bloody civil war, where even if instituted, history shows it will fail horribly as it runs counter to the proletariat's innate need of freedom and unfettered ability to control one's own destiny.

How Democrats Usurped The Civil Rights Movement to Spread Marxism

While some may call the civil strife that is happening throughout our country a cultural revolution, they are wrong; further it is not about racism. What is happening is the useful idiots of antifa and the radical/violent members of BLM have usurped the civil rights movement to force Marxism on the country. To explain this, the American people have never embraced Marxism (eg Communism), but they have always been sensitive to racism. So what a better way to force communism on Americans, than calling it anti-racism. The woke or anti-racism movement has redefined racism, not as viewing a race as inferior, but as any system where individual outcomes are not equal; in other words the need for forced equality through redistribution. You'll notice there is no mention of race and that is because anti-racism is about structural inequality, not prejudice. And once again, just like 50 years under Democrat domination, the plight of the black man will not change.

Install Windows 95 in Oracle VM Virtual Box 6.0.8

This article is a followup to an article by toqabaqci titled . How to Install Windows 95 in VirtualBox on Windows 10 The reason for this post, is to clarify some of the procedure so the install will be successful. Why anyone would want to this, I'm not sure. I did it because I have always been interested in computers and Windows operating systems, starting with early DOS and I am somewhat nostalgic of that part of my life when I used Windows 95. I am going to reference toqabaqci's post, so you will need both if you want to complete the installation

First you will need to down a Windows 95 ISO and an image (.img) file of the Windows 95 3 1/2" installation floppy disk. The necessity for both files is not explained in the article, as it does not mention the 3 1/2 image file until you are in the middle of the install. Both can be had through a link at the bottom of toqabaqci's post Download Choose "Download All", and you will get both files. The "Download All" will be a zip files called "Windows 95.zip". Click on the file Extract>Extract all and you will get two rar files, the Windows ISO, "Windows 95 English.rar" and the 3 1/2" floppy disk image file, "Windows 95a.rar". These files will be extracted from their rar format, as an ISO and img file of the same names; I use 7-Zip. Regardless of what you use to extract the rar files,  The next bit of instruction is strange, but necessary. Wherever the files are extracted, leave then there. The Oracle VM software will not work if you move the files to different location than where they were extracted, (at least I know this to be true with the Windows 95.iso file; if you move them the process will stall. What causes this I don't know. 

If you have not already down so, you can download the Oracle VM Virtual Box (click on "Windows hosts"), either at the link I provided are the same link at the bottom of toqabaqci's post.  Toqabaqci's post uses Oracle VM Virtual Box ver 6.0.4, but ver 6.0.8 is the most recent and what available from the link. When you open 6.0.8 it looks different than the 6.0.4 version shown by toqabaqci's post, but it works the same. As you can below see the left panel is almost blank.




After clicking on  "New", the Create Virtual Machine window will open up.

 

The "Name and operating system" portion (above) has an additional box showing the default location of the Virtual "Machine Folder". Leave this box as is as you will get a chance to assign the location of the Virtual Machine (VM) box later. Follow toqabaqci's post for Step 3 Memory Size, Step 4 Hard disk, Step 5 Hard disk file type and Step 6 Storage on physical hard disk. When you get to Step 7, this is where you assign the Virtual Machine location and file size. Like the Step 7 image, I put the VM Box on an external hard drive, which also is assigned H. The name of the VM box will be Windows 95.vdi, and you can place it anywhere you want. My Step 7 shows I assigned the location of the VM box to the H drive, in a folder named "Windows 95".  The software will create whatever folders are indicated in the box (don't create the folder beforehand or the software will tell you the folders already exist so the VM Box can not be placed there). You can also use the drop down to assign the drive and then type in whatever folders you want, keeping in mind the file Windows 95.vdi must at the end.


Once this is done press the Create button, leading to Step 8, Step9, Step 10, Step 11and Step 12. Step 13 shows Starting Windows 95... If you did everything right, the Step 14 command window will show a numerous line display starting with "CD ROM Device Driver for IDE (Four Channel Supported)", if however you get a display showing the only 3 lines

MSCDEX version 2.25
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp. 1986-1995 All Rights Reserved

A:\>
 
Without "Drive R: = Driver Banana Unit 0",

then something was done wrong. This is where of you moved the extracted  ISO and Image files, the process will stall and you will have to start over, putting the files back where they were extracted, or re-extracting the files, before Step 9.

However assuming the command display looks the same Step 14,  continue to Steps 15. The fdisk used in step 15 is an another version than used with the current version of the software, rather than just pressing enter for  [Y] 1. "Create primary  DOS partition" and "making the partition" active,  as seen below the creating of a DOS partition and making it active is a 4 part operation (press enter for "1. Create Dos Partition or logical drive" [Y], followed by pressing enter 3 times on the next page. not the single operation shown in Step 16.

 



Next continue Steps 17-25. One thing worth noting is when you start using the mouse inside the VM Box with Windows 95, there will be a capture function. What this means is when you click on something inside the box, the below window will open up. When you press the "Capture" button, the mouse cursor will be trapped inside the VM box (there will also be some translucent gray banners across the top of the box, explaining what is happening). If you need to take the mouse outside the box again, you need to push the CTRL button on the right side of the keyboard. The grey banners I advised about can be closed by clicking an X on the upper right corner, when the mouse in the non-captured mode.  



What was not mentioned or shown was after Step 25, Windows 95 will ask for a COA, while not a big deal, you will need to obtain an OEM COA. The easiest way to do that is to search eBay for Windows 95 and you will find numerous OEM install discs for sale. Why you may even find some images of the soft ware being sold, where the COA has not been obscured.




From here you follow Step 26-32. Step 33, while it's not a big deal, there is no reason to create a Startup Disk so you might as well click No, and skip Steps 34-36, while Step 37 runs it's course. Step 38, click "Finished", which leads us to Step 39, where I was stuck for hours. Step 39 shows clicking the Floppy Disk symbol under the VM Box, FYI it's a right click on the floppy disk symbol, and left click on "Remove disk from virtual drive". Two things worth noting here. After removing the floppy disk as shown and explained, Step 49 says "Click the OK button and close the virtual machine". First, when you click OK, the VM Box will return to the DOS screen seen in step 14. Have to fear, that is what it is supposed to do. Next there is no explanation on how to close the VM. The way this is done is to click on File>Close, this will open the below window. The default is "Save the machine state", however if you don't chose "Power off the Machine" you will not be able to change any of the settings later.

 

Once you click OK you will be at Step 41. The instructions say  to uncheck the floppy disk box, but this still leaves the "Optical" in the boot order ahead of the Hard Disk,  if not uncheck the VM will boot from the R: drive and you'll end up back as Step 14, so you will need to uncheck the optical disc image as well and then click  OK, which will bring you back to the Main Screen where you will push the Green Arrow Start Button.



I did not experience the Step 43-44 issue so the VM went straight to Step 45-48.

Step 48 is very important so pay attention. At this point the CD-ROM  R drive R:\WIN95 has been disabled, so you will need to direct WINdows 95 setup to C: drive C:\WIN95 (this is why you copied all the R:\Win95 files to C:\Win95). The choice C:\Win95 is not in the drop down menu, so you must type it in. Once you complete Click OK and it will be clear sailing to complete the rest of Windows 95 install.

AP misstates Papadopoulos timeline

Once again the left wing news media is reporting fake news, in this case the time line of Papadopoulos learning about Russia having Clinton emails. The AP article (05.04-2019 misstates the surveillance started when  Papadopoulos telling an Australian diplomat about the emails, followed by Professor Sefan Halper offering  Papadopoulos a speaking engagement in London.. In reality it started with the offer of the speaking engagement in London, where Professor Halper (an FBI informant) subsequently told Papadopoulos about Russia having the Clinton emails. Then, Papadopoulos met with the Australian diplomat (a supposed chance meeting in a bar) in a planned intelligence operation, where Papadopoulos told the Australian diplomat, the Russian/ Clinton email information  given to him by Professor Halper. The Australian diplomat then informed the FBI, Papadopoulos had told him about the Russians/ Clinton emails as planned. The entire episode was designed by the FBI, to manufacture false information to be used to spy on the Trump administration.

All of this is about to come out as a part of current DOJ and GSO investigations into the rogue FBI actions that tired to setup a silent coup of President Trump. The new media has been complicit with the Russia collusion witch hunt from the beginning, so they are continuing their disinformation campaign to try and coverup the corruption and treasonous activities of a handful of US intelligence administrators. One wonders why the news media felt it was so important to remove President Trump from office, that they abdicated their place in the American experiment in self rule, and joined forces with the tyrants.     

Saving a Windows 10 Backup Image to a USB is Possible But a Waste of Time

The point of this post is not to instruct how to restore or backup Windows 10, which it does mention, but to point out how instruction have been giving, which allows you to save a Windows 10 system image on a USB, but it's useless because you can't restore from it.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could save a Windows backup/restore image file to a USB? Well you can https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-update/how-to-create-windows-10-system-image-on-a-usb/24e84aff-3916-4661-894b-f140005d3b9e?page=3, but it's a useless procedure. The reason is, while the procedure will let you save a WindowsImageBackup file to your USB, there is no way to use it  to restore your system because windows 10 will only restore from a hard drive; you can manually access your personal files from the WindowsImageBack file, but you can't rebuild your hard drive image, meaning you will need a new install of Windows 10, manually move your personal files to their respective folders, and reinstall all your programs/apps.

Rather than deal with such a mess, you have better choices, including saving the Windows backup image a real hard drive or use a Windows 10  utility (File History)  that save all your personal files in real time on a USB, so you can restore them at any time. Now you can't rebuild a hard drive with file history, so for a total reinstall you will still have to reinstall Windows 10, but File History will restore your personal files automatically from a USB afterward. There is a third way, which restores you Windows OS to a prior state/date. This was a great utility called "System Restore", which saves a previous configuration by date, when your OS was operating properly, and allows you to undo what ever changes where made to your computer to make it unstable, reverting back to to that earlier configuration. The problem with the is utility is 1) it is turned off by default in Windows 10 and even if you turn it on, I've not been successful using the utility with Windows 10, ending up with the dreaded error.

"System Restore did not complete successfully. Your computer’s system files and settings were not changed.

Details:
System Restore could not access a file. This is probably because an anti-virus program is running on the computer. Temporarily disable your antivirus program and retry System Restore.
An unspecified error occurred during System Restore. (0x80070005)

You can try System Restore again and choose a different restore point. If you continue to see this error, you can try an advanced recovery method. For more information, see What is recovery?"

I tried the restore in both safe mode and from a recovery disc with the same result. While I only used the utility in XP, it worked flawlessly, but I've read since windows 7, it has been problematic.  So I would not put my trust in this utility anymore

Compaq d530 upgrade to Windows 7; fixing "Multimedia Audio Controller" error (Solved) and installing leagacy video drivers

I have a Compaq d530s computer (SFF case) with a Pentium 4 CPU and like many I decided to upgrade my XP computer with Windows 7. The problem with such an endeavor is a lack of Win 7 drivers for legacy hardware; in my case a NVIDIA FX 5200 graphics card and a legacy ADI sound on board audio controller. As mentioned  I determined the audio chip on the motherboard was an ADI Soundmax AC97 (the usual with d530 computers). After installing Win 7 the Device Manager showed an unknown device(yellow question mark) named  "Multimedia Audio Controller", meaning there was no driver for the onboard audio chip.  I searched for a Win7/Vista driver for hours* until I found this driver (the key is to know the audio onboard chip number; in this case AC97)  , "ADI Soundmax AC97 Integrated Driver" at  https://adi-soundmax-ac97-driver.jaleco.com/download also known as the "SP44472" driver. I ran the driver program and bingo, I now have sound.

After hours of searching, I found drivers that worked for both. Although I tried numerous NVIDIA driver installers for win7 and Vista, They all failed, mostly because they could not identify my video card. However I did find one thread from NVIDIA that recommended the following; find XP drivers for your NVIDIA video card and load them. The result will be the program will load the XP drivers (175.19_geforce_winxp_32bit_english_whql), but the program will stop at some point to say you're using the wrong Windows OS or it could not find the hardware, or something similar, however the files will remain on your hard drive, in my case c:\NVIDIA. Next, go the Device Manager, d-click on the "Display adapter" and then d-click on the pnp generic driver that is currently installed. Click on the "Driver" tab, click on Update and chose, "Browse my computer for driver software" and click the "Browse" button at the end of the "Search for drivers in this location" pane. Browse to the location of the XP drivers and click "Next" at the bottom left of the "Update Drivers" window, and in the following window, choose to install the driver; it should load the driver and your video adapter will come alive.

* several websites recommended, first going into the bios and disabling the PCI "Intel Audi Device" (Advanced/PCI Device/Intel Audio Device), which is not present on the motherboard. Re-boot the computer, go to the Device Manager and  delete the "Multimedia Audio Controller" unknown device (yellow question mark). Once the "Multimedia Audio Controller" device is deleted, click on the action tab in the Device Manager, and choose to look for new hardware. I tried this, but the"Multimedia Audio Controller" device showed up again, however I left the the Intel Audio Device disabled. After I installed the correct drivers, I went back and enabled the Intel Audio Device just out of curiosity to see if it would affect the Soundmax drivers, but it did not. (but I went back and disabled it again to make sure the IRQ was available.

Hopefully this will help anyone still holding onto their d530 XP computer and upgrading it to Windows 7.

Windows 10 Edge "Error Code: INET_E_RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND" (SOLVED)

After refreshing Windows 10, I found Edge, Mail and Windows Update, were not working. With MS Edge, I was receiving “There was a temporary DNS error. Try refreshing the page. Error Code: INET_E_RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND.”  and when I tried to add my email account to Mail, I received a 0x80190001 error. There are numerous fixes on the internet, for theses issues, including doing  a Windows 10 update Update (which I did), but none worked for me.

The fix I found can be identified if you go to Windows Settings/ Network and Internet, which will open with a menu of the left side, showing "Status", which is the top choice. If the "Network status" says there is no connection (this example shows Network status is connected) ,

even though you are connected to your internet provider and if you check "Wi-Fi"  (the menu item below "Status")

then the problem is the Windows Network needs to be reset so it can find your internet/ Wi-Fi connection.  Back to the "Status" (the first picture) the last choice below "Change your Network settings", is "Network Reset".  After clicking on it, the "Network Reset" window will open and there is a "reset now" button, that will reset your network after your PC is restarted. Be advised you will have to enter your WiFi password after you have reset your network.

Another Ambush by the Democrats

 So, Judge Kavanuagh has been accused of a sexual assault that occured when he was 17 YO 36 years ago.The accuser in the incident, Christine Blasey Ford, is a Democratic activist that has attended several anti- President Trump rallies; specifically in belief that President Trump will some how end legal abortion. One of the primary Democrat talking points is SCOTUS candidate Kananugh will also end legal abortion. So there is a very strong purpose behind Ms Ford pushing this questionable assault accusation. If you were told you could single handedly save legal abortions, would you be willing to subject yourself to this level of scrutiny? One issue is that there is no evidence whatsoever that the incident occurred, none the less that Kavanuagh was involved. The victim does not know when are where it happened, doesn't remember how she got to the location, nor what happened afterwards. The only information she has is there were to males besides Kavanaugh, and both those persons have been contacted have made similar statements that they have no knowledge of the party in question; nor do they have any knowledge of the allegations of improper conduct she has leveled against Brett Kavanaugh. There is also the real possibility that through an alcohol induced haze, the accuser misidentified Kavanaugh as her attacker, meaning Kavanaugh was never able to clear his name prior to the passage of over 30 years.

The accuser is now saying she will not appear before the senate until the FBI investigates the incident. The FBI has said they can not by law investigate a criminal case outside federal jurisdiction and the local law enforcement have said no one has contacted them regarding this case. To categorically state it occurred simply becasue you have a theory or feeling she is not lying ignores equal protection under the law. The nature of the crime can not take presidence over the nature of the evidence; as John Adams said, the corner stone of this country, is we are a country of laws, not men. If every women claiming she was assaulted by an individual is allowed to destroy their lives without any evidence, then we will have a country were the rule of law is meaningless.

McCain not the Republican Voice of Reason

Many Democrats are using John McCain's death to politicize their hatred of President Trump, calling him the GOP voice of reson; so the neocon war hawk that was lockstep with Bush 43 is the voice of reason? John McCain never saw a military solution he didn't like. That includes Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and had harsh words against the Russian incursion into Georgia; in a precursor to his fecklessness Obama stated, "I think it is important at this point for all sides to show restraint and to stop this armed conflict,"(once President, Obama pretty much courted the Russians for the entire 8 years he was in office; the selling of US uranium to Russia was believed tied to Russia backing the Obama/Kerry Iran agreement) "The bitter battle over who's performed best has already begun. A McCain aide calls Obama "bizarrely in sync with Moscow." Obama's campaign suggested McCain had a conflict of interest because his foreign policy advisor, Randy Scheunemann, had lobbied for Georgia." the voice of reason?.

McCain was also vehemently against the Iran agreement, saying he agreed with President Trump. “I did not support the nuclear deal at the time it was proposed, and many of its specific terms will make it harder to pursue the comprehensive strategy we need. In that sense, I agree with the President that the deal is not in the vital national interests of the United States," ...Trump had twice certified Iran's compliance with the deal. But on Friday, he declared that Iran had violated the "spirit" of the accord with its non-nuclear behavior, citing its support for Assad and militant groups in the Middle East in addition to its ballistic-missile program."

McCain also roundly criticized President Obama's Israel policies, referring to the President's rhetoric as a "temper tantrum". McCain's also condemned President Obama's feckless Ukraine policy, calling the President, "the most naive president in history." This was consistent with McCains worldview of Russia, stating at one point “[Vladimir] Putin is not America’s friend, nor merely a competitor,” McCain said. “Putin is America’s enemy, not because we wish it so but because he has chosen to be.”
The left now calls McCain the voice of reason is becasue he was a "never Trumper", to the point of sending an emissary to pickup the fabricated Trump dossier, and passed it on to Comey, not knowing the FBI already had a copy. Further McCain was the key vote that stopped the Senate from repealing Obamacare.

Seperated families and conflating with NAZIs

 In the debate over separating children from their families at the Southern Border, Democrats seem comfortable that while President Obama locked up hundred of thousands of unaccompanied minors in sordid conditions, he did not separate most them from their families. What the Democrats want you to ignore is the fact every unaccompanied minor is the result of separated family and the flood of unaccompanied minors that showed up on the Southern border was the result of President Obama policy of giving unaccompanied minors a pass into the country.  The Democrats also bemoan the  lasting affects of children being separated from their families; how is this different from what unaccompanied minors have been through, where they were no only separated from their families but had to travel unaccompanied an extremely dangerous trip of near 2000 miles, where many of the unaccompanied minors  had to endure attacks, robberies and the females rape. Certainly this will also have a lasting affect on their psyche

At least the media is covering what is going on and President Trump is trying to change a poorly thought out policy. Now the left is accusing President Trump of suspension of due process. The immigration policies have been broken for decades, and now the left expects President Trump to fix it with just a phone and a pin; something of course that is the suspension of due process.

"Donald Trump likes to divide families when they first cross the U.S.-Mexico border; Barack Obama preferred to let them get settled in the interior and then send ICE agents to arrest mommy or daddy at home or work, leaving the children behind...During the Obama years, more than 40,000 U.S.-born kids whose parents had been deported were dumped into foster care." https://www.oregonlive.com/... This compared to the 2000 family separations that occurred under President Trump at the border.
President Obama also caged over 90,000 unaccompanied minors in a tidal wave of foreign nation children that flocked to the border are President Obama said they would get a pass into the country. So the fact is President Obama forced the separation of families with his unaccompanied minors policy. This is much like the Democrats separating fathers from black families when they offered much more welfare money to single mothers, then families still living in poverty.  

The term fascists defines a type of totalitarian collective government that eliminates indivual rights in the name of security, often using reactive violence to quite dissent;  but to the left it means any action they don't like, even though the left is renown for using fascists tactics to crate fear from the puplic and forward their political worldview.  Here is a little education, fascism excludes any president that advocates indivual rights and liberty, as fascists rule is by governmental fiat through more and more suffocating regulations. President Obama increased the power of the government by implementing a slew of regulations all intent on controlling the means of production and trying to create a collective that would kowtow to world governance. President Obama also ignored court orders, while President Trump has adhered to all the court orders from activist judges that have interfered with President Trumps Constitution powers; he complained but he followed them and waited for a Supreme court ruling that have found on his side every time. A fascist regime is also against the will of the people because the powers that be know better. This is exemplified by the left making up allegations and forcing a fishing expedition without any predicate crime; which has never happened before in the history of the DOJ; all to overturn a legal election.

The left has also become a apologist for NAZI tactics, as they trivialize the horrors the victims when they conflate the detention of illegal foreign Nationals, to NAZI death camps and other atrocities. The end result is many are ignorant the level of debauchery by the NAZIs. Some of this ignorance comes from the fear of microaggressions (in the case of learning about NAZI atrocities there is nothing "micro") by snowflakes. There are many that would be so traumatized just by reading about the NAZI death camps, they would rather be ignorant of the horrid reality and assume it was no worse that ICE separating families that illegally crossed the border. There is simply nothing that the illegal foreign nationals have experienced that is in any way comparable to being marched into gas chambers. As someone said, the moment one mentions NAZI they have lost the argument.

The Ambush of Trump by Rep(D) Frederica Wilson.

When Rep (D) Frederica Wilson (a rabid anti-Trump zealot) contacted news agencies saying the wife of Sgt. La David Johnson was angered by the President Trump, a simple look at the facts show  this was an ambush designed to use the death of a soldier purely for political purposes; violating what has been a sacred process. by the military. First one has to ask how Rep Wilson happen to be present when the call was made. One has to assume either Rep Wilson called the widow when she learned of Sgt. La David Johnson death, or the widow, Myeshia Johnson, or a close family member called  Rep Wilson; why would this have occurred? When the President wants to console the family of a fallen soldier, a  "pre-call" is made to determine if the family will take the call. Now Trump has made similar calls in the past, at least 34 of the 43 KIA soldiers since Trump became President, and probably consoled the family members in a similar fashion. So we  find the widow has decided to take the call, while in her car on speaker phone, with  Rep Wilson also in attendance and then made the call into a political scandal. The whole story makes no sense, unless it is in the context of left using the death of a soldier and the sacred manner in which the military consoles the family, for nothing more than political posturing and the inability to accept they have been rejected by much of the American people.

More about the false narrative about the"Southern Strategy"

A while ago I wrote an essay regarding the  The Fallacy of the Republican/Democratic Flip/Flop on Civil Rights and Racism

Recently I had an occasion to revisit the subject.

There is a difference between a platform and a worldview. Millions of people do not just decided one day that they will forsake a premise of their life long value system against racism, and decide they want to be racists to get more votes. It is more than intellectually dishonest to propose such a thing, it is ludicrous. As has been seen over and over, people with solid moral compass, attempt to maintain their course (and even if they fail they still no what is right and what is wrong); it is those with abhorrent and selfish values, that believe people are inferior to them, that often times seem the light and change their moral compass. Further the whole idea of the Southern Strategy is Republicans took over the Democrat oppression of blacks, something there is no evidence of. In fact during the 1960s Republicans took control of Presidential elections no state and local elections. So regardless of who Southern racists voted for President, the Democrats would stay fully in charge of the state and local government for decades.

The whole Southern Strategy revisionist history was nothing more than identity politics, pushed by the likes of the extreme left wing by people such as Paul Krugman (Krugman says the Dixiecrats became Republicans, but fails to mention the Dixiecarts Party was founded and dissolved in 1948. So somehow the ex- Dixiecrats waited some 16 years to become Republicans. The truth is all the Dixiecrats fell back into the Democrat party and only 3 ex-Dixiecrats actually switched sides in the 1960s and became Republicans. The point is numerous historians and political scientists have written exposés on the false narrative of the flip/ flop Southern Strategy.

"Political scientist Nelson W. Polsby argued that economic development was more central than racial desegregation in the evolution of the postwar South in Congress.[104] In The End of Southern Exceptionalism: Class, Race, and Partisan Change in the Postwar South, the British political scientist Byron E. Shafer and the Canadian Richard Johnston developed Polsby's argument in greater depth. Using roll call analysis of voting patterns in the House of Representatives, they found that issues of desegregation and race were less important than issues of economics and social class when it came to the transformation of partisanship in the South.[105] This view is backed by Glenn Feldman who notes that the early narratives on the southern realignment focused on the idea of appealing to racism. This argument was first and thus took hold as the accepted narrative. He notes, however, that Lassiter's dissenting view on this subject, a view that the realignment was a "suburban strategy" rather than a "southern strategy", was just one of the first of a rapidly growing list of scholars who see the civil rights "white backlash" as a secondary or minor factor. Authors such as Tim Boyd, George Lewis, Michael Bowen, and John W. White follow the lead of Lassiter, Shafer and Johnston in viewing suburban voters and their self interests as the primary reason for the realignment. He does not discount race as part of the motivation of these suburban voters who were fleeing urban crime and school busing.[10] " wikipedia

 "If the parties had in some meaningful way flipped on civil rights, one would expect that to show up in the electoral results in the years following the Democrats’ 1964 about-face on the issue. Nothing of the sort happened: Of the 21 Democratic senators who opposed the 1964 act, only one would ever change parties. Nor did the segregationist constituencies that elected these Democrats throw them out in favor of Republicans: The remaining 20 continued to be elected as Democrats or were replaced by Democrats. It was, on average, nearly a quarter of a century before those seats went Republican. If southern rednecks ditched the Democrats because of a civil-rights law passed in 1964, it is strange that they waited until the late 1980s and early 1990s to do so.
