[New24] What inspires a conversation about decolonized research? For some, it is an undertaking of overt engagement on the complexities of "re-imagining" the Global South, the myriad of experiences that shape peoples lives and the task of 're-thinking" our knowledge systems and how we relate to the world. For others, it is the challenge of exploring historically discarded knowledge and theory, and producing new and better ways of knowing.
It is not merely a counter-narrative to western ideas about the pursuit of knowledge. It is looking through the eyes of the colonised, not just to voice the voiceless, but to prevent the dying of a people, their culture and their ecosystems.
Simply put, the hegemonisation of knowledge which has occurred largely in sync with colonialisation, has entrenched notions of the developed Global North and the undeveloped Global South, which is still perpetuated today.
Boaventura de Sousa Santos, a Professor of Sociology, at the University of Coimbra in Portugal, conveys the violence inherent in this as, "epistemicide: the murder of knowledge. Unequal exchanges among cultures have always implied the death of the knowledge of the subordinated culture, hence the death of the social groups that possessed it."

Lucky for the author, the colonials stuck around long enough to teach her to read and write. But enough about her and her post-apartheid crutch riding.
Obviously a bogus story. The intent of the posting was simply to add 'epistimecide' to the Rantburg University library of new and exciting words.

*Wow* That was ...something. I remember reading my first story by H.P. Lovecraft and wondering if the author was inspired, batshite nutz, or both. This reads like 'word salad'...

And some of those "quaint native customs that we should not judge...?" General Sir Charles James Napier: "Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs."

Outside of the merest study of a globe would inform one that Australia is mostly uninhabited desert, Antarctica is an almost empty icy hellscape, and the remainder of the Southern Hemisphere is mostly ocean ... why, yes!, the Global North has more land, more people and is more developed. D'Oh!
But if you are a neo-Marxist anti-Colonialist Deconstructionist obsessed with the Romantic School vision of "The Noble Savage" then that 'verbal diarrhea' makes perfect sense. Or you are a scam artist looking for a Progressive 'Mark' to donate to your think-tank . We could also embrace the Power of 'And', I suppose.

America is fat and stupid. That didn't always used to be the case. In fact, it's really only become a problem since then 50's - about when government started telling us what to eat.
I suspect fixing the SAD (standard American diet) would fix the fat and stupid problem too, and issues like epistemicide would disappear on their own.
#11
"Epistemicide" seems like a good description of these kinds of "Sectarian Studies."
"We are all stupider for having heard that. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

Simply put, the hegemonisation of knowledge which has occurred largely in sync with colonialisation, has entrenched notions of the developed Global North and the undeveloped Global South, which is still perpetuated today.
[Breitbart] Friday on his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh advised his listens to ignore the media hype because President Donald Trump is tapping into voters concerns about immigration.
Partial transcript as follows (courtesy of RushLimbaugh.com):
LIMBAUGH: Let me run through these immigration numbers again. Department of Homeland Security Press Secretary Tyler Houlton said in a statement, ’Following the implementation of the administration’s zero-tolerance policy, the June 2018 Southwest Border Migration numbers declined by 18% when compared to the previous month,’ This is, of course, illegal immigrants attempting to get in the country in the southwest border down 18% because of the zero-tolerance policy.
Reuters has a story. This is from earlier this morning. It’s a poll. It’s a Reuters/Ipsos poll. "Immigration tops the economy and health care as the most important issue determining Americans’ vote ahead of the midterm elections in November, a new Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll shows. Reuters/Ipsos data shows that immigration became a top concern for registered voters in the United States after the Trump administration in May announced its ’zero tolerance’ policy on illegal immigrants, saying they would be criminally charged."
Uh, actually, the zero-tolerance policy was announced April 7th of 2018. Sessions was acting after a Department of Homeland Security report found that illegal border crossing increased 203% from March 2017 to March 2018. And then Reuters says here, "The policy became a political lightning rod in mid-June with disclosures that thousands of children were separated from their parents who were accused of crossing illegally into the country." Wrong again.
A passage to be noted: This Week in Guns (TWIG) is five years old.
It has been a ride so far. The last few weeks have been trying. Work hours have increased dramatically, and I am working two jobs. Not out of necessity, but because I am helping an old employer close out a contract before his machine shop gets shuttered.
So until things get back to whatever can be considered normal, all I will post will be data.
I hope to continue tracking ammunition and used firearms prices, even in the midst of the most concerted attempt to constrict firearms ownership since Barky shooting his f*cking kommie mouth off about guns.
Rantburg's summary for arms and ammunition:
Week over week pistol ammunition prices were mostly steady. Rifle ammunition prices were steady.
Prices for used pistols were mostly lower. Prices for used rifles were higher.
(July 7th, 2018) For the eighth week running, used AR-15 prices have averaged below $500.
Quarterly prices are below. It appears that ammunition prices for all kinds of guns, rifles and pistols have dropped since last spring. Check it out.

Surely any jeweler with engraving ability can handle that kind of thing — just a matter of going through the yellow pages and asking until one says yes.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The Shirazi reference believes that "media outlets these days are a tool in the hands of the enemies of values, morals and humanity. Given the absence of the important and influential role of virtuous and pious people who follow the right doctrine in media outlets, these tools are thus exploited in achieving demonic and ill purposes." This is according to what’s posted on Ayatollah Sayyid Sadiq al-Shirazi’s official website.
This perception is not new but it dates to years ago, before the death of reference Sayyid Mohammad al-Shirazi who encouraged his followers to be involved in the media field and not let others monopolize it. This made the Shirazi Movement later work on establishing more than 20 satellite television channels in different languages. This number is based on a statistic which Al Arabiya.net attained from a source from within the Shirazi reference
Researcher Bassem al-Zaydi at Imam Shirazi Center for Studies and Research thinks "satellite television channels are the most important means of modern media communication. Thus there were more focus on them in terms of contributors to establish them and recipients."

[PJMedia] ...Now it's 2018, so Monty Python stinks because they're all middle-class white males and most of them aren't LGBTQRSTUV.
A fellow named Shane Allen works for the BBC in the capacity of "Controller, Comedy Commissioning, Television." Which sounds like a job title right out of a Python sketch. Recently, Allen explained the Beeb's new diversity push, insisting that Monty Python is a thing of the past: "If you're going to assemble a team now it’s not going to be six Oxbridge white blokes. It’s going to be a diverse range of people who reflect the modern world." The one thing "Modern World" (apparently) doesn't need or wants is talent
...John Cleese said:
BBC's Head of Comedy puts Monty Python's lack of originality down to a surfeit of education and racist bias
Unfair ! We were remarkably diverse FOR OUR TIME
We had three grammar-school boys, one a poof, and Gilliam, though not actually black, was a Yank. And NO slave-owners
...And Terry Gilliam was even more blunt:
"It made me cry: the idea that ... no longer six white Oxbridge men can make a comedy show," he said. "Now we need one of this, one of that, everybody represented... this is bullshit. I no longer want to be a white male, I don’t want to be blamed for everything wrong in the world: I tell the world now I’m a black lesbian... My name is Loretta and I’m a BLT, a black lesbian in transition."

...I fear for what happens when the Diversity crowd actually watches 'Blazing Saddles'....

There are some who say BBC destroyed the chemistry of the beloved Springwatch show when they introduced a black female a year ago or so and marginalized a long-time white male member of the popular show, all in the name of diversity. To be fair, the female does possess the education background. But, was she a dud as part of the show? Yes. Not the same show.
[WashingtonPost] It’s not hard to work out who’s being played here.
Taiwan’s United Microelectronics Corp. won a patent case it brought against Boise, Idaho-based Micron Technology Inc. in a Chinese court. So on the surface, this poor little Taiwanese David defeats the big bad American Goliath. The Chinese court even ordered that Micron chips be halted from import or sale in Asia’s biggest economy, according to UMC.
Micron stock fell as much as 8 percent, while UMC climbed as much as 3.9 percent in early Taipei trading Wednesday.
You can almost hear UMC claiming that Micron started it. Micron executives sued the Taiwanese foundry in a U.S. court in December, claiming theft of trade secrets. The complaint was filed under a civil provision of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
UMC is turning out to be the perfect patsy in China’s ongoing campaign to stick it to the U.S. over technology, intellectual property and trade. In its Fuzhou Intermediate People’s Court filing, it sought 270 million yuan ($41 million) in damages. I think that’s a smokescreen.
Micron’s U.S. case in fact sprang from an August criminal indictment in Taiwan against UMC and its partner Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Co.
Taiwanese prosecutors alleged that UMC employees were part of a plan to misappropriate IP from an American company (Micron) and deliver it to China (via Jinhua). In its December civil complaint, Micron accused UMC of trying to recruit key Taiwanese personnel, and induce former Micron Taiwan staff to steal files that could be used to give little-known Jinhua a boost in China’s campaign to develop its own chip technology.
A recent piece in the New York Times details the heist, which includes a police raid and a junior colleague spiriting a phone out of a factory as authorities closed in.
That a Chinese court suddenly finds in favor of UMC and Jinhua, with a threat to stop all import and sale of Micron’s chips, completes the cycle of absurdity.

[The Hill] A Republican candidate for Congress in California is openly running as a Holocaust denier, calling it a "complete fabrication" in an interview with The New York Times published Friday.
John Fitzgerald secured one of the top two spots in California's "jungle" primary system last month, where the top two vote-getters regardless of party affiliation advance to the general election.
Fitzgerald is slated to face off against incumbent Democratic Rep. Mark DeSaulnier in November in the reliably blue district near San Francisco.
Fitzgerald included calls on his campaign website for people to note "Jewish supremacism" and said last week on a radio show hosted by an anti-Semitic commentator that "everything we’ve been told about the Holocaust is a lie," according to The Times.
The candidate told The Times this week that the Holocaust was a "complete fabrication" and placed blame for the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks on the Israeli government.

Getting a can't win candidate to run in an otherwise uncontested district means money will have to be spent that can't be spent elsewhere. All the same, the party officials at every level are there to prevent this sort of debacle, but they often don't.

The candidate for Missouri senator died. The state supreme court let the election stand with him on the ballot and the party gave it to his wife. Thus making a total mockery of the electoral process. It's all a facade to keep the peasants in place.
[American Thinker] That's right: Hillary Clinton is running for president again in 2020. She has actually ramped up her campaign since her defeat in 2016! From her Twitter feed to university speeches to appearances abroad ‐ from Ireland to Australia to India ‐ the "I'm with her" campaign continues. The message remains the same: Donald Trump is racist and sexist, and his supporters are deplorable. Hillary also continues to preach that she won the 2016 popular vote by 3,000,000 votes, but because of the electoral college (that damn Constitution thing) and RussiaRussiaRussia, she was robbed of her rightful prize and place in history.
Her Path to the Nomination
Hillary has a highly plausible path to the Democratic Party nomination, something no other potential Democrat candidate for president can say. In the primaries, Hillary Clinton's name recognition and loyal voters would earn her an easy 25% of the vote, while the anti-Hillary vote would split among as many as ten other candidates at about 5-10% each. This is not dissimilar to what Trump accomplished on the Republican side in 2016. With a solid base of supporters, Trump was able to win primary after primary while the others split the vote. Each time someone dropped out, Trump picked up about half of his supporters, with the other half disbursed among the other candidates. This is a realistic path for Hillary to gain the Democrat nomination, and it is no doubt irresistible to her.
Hillary is the only potential Democrat with big money-raising potential and an existing fundraising mechanism. That mechanism has been in place for 30 years! Hillary also has as much as $1 billion in Clinton Foundation donations stashed away for just such a rainy day. You didn't really think all that Russian oligarch money was sent to hungry children in Haiti, did you?
Hillary knows that the MSM will not only not criticize her for running in 2020, but celebrate her campaign because "she has unfinished business." Hillary also knows that the MSM will repeat her talking points ad nauseam, as in "the 2016 election was stolen by the Russians" and "she's doing this for women to break the glass ceiling" as they serve up $10 billion in free earned media. In addition, MSM journalists want jobs in the Hillary Clinton administration and won't risk her famous wrath if she wins.
#1
Which just means that there will be no ramifications from all of her shenanigans (Clinton Foundation, Seth Rich, Arkancides, etc., etc.) despite all of the "bombshell" utterances from the wind bag chumps on Capitol Hill and the Internet.
#3
I doubt it. She might have a political path to the nomination. However, barring a major medical breakthrough she won't be healthy enough to be a credible candidate.
In fact, if she'd been elected in 2016 I think her Presidency would have turned into a reprise of the last Soviet GenSeks' agonizing tenures.

How can I then return in happy plight,
That am debarr'd the benefit of rest?
When day's oppression is not eased by night,
But day by night, and night by day, oppress'd?
And each, though enemies to either's reign,
Do in consent shake hands to torture me;
The one by toil, the other to complain
How far I toil, still farther off from thee.
I tell the day, to please them thou art bright
And dost him grace when clouds do blot the heaven:
So flatter I the swart-complexion'd night,
When sparkling stars twire not thou gild'st the even.
But day doth daily draw my sorrows longer
And night doth nightly make grief's strength
seem stronger. -The Bard-

Mrs. Clinton would lose even more badly next time — current polls show President Trump picking up increasing support among Blacks, Hispanics, and Millennials, according to what I’ve seen recently. But it’s early days, and Clinton is a familiar name at a time when no one else has thrown their hat in the ring. It remains to be seen whether she will admit her health is too bad to run, leaving oxygen for the epic fight between Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden for the nomination.
[Medpage] A novel treatment for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) using HPV vaccine could some day prove useful in patients who are poor surgical candidates, have multiple lesions, or who defer surgery, researchers reported.
A single case report of an elderly woman with multiple, inoperable cutaneous basaloid SCC, showed that systemic and direct intratumoral injection of 9-valent HPV vaccine resulted in complete regression of all cutaneous malignant tumors, according to Anna J. Nichols, MD, PhD, of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in Miami, and colleagues.
All tumors resolved 11 months after the first injection of vaccine, they reported in JAMA Dermatology.
No systemic adverse effects were reported, they added, and at the patient's last follow-up visit 24 months after the first intratumoral dose of the HPV vaccine, there was no clinical evidence of SCC recurrence.
"The marked regression of numerous SCCs after initiation of the intratumoral injections eliminated the need for additional treatment," the authors wrote. "Tumors not directly injected with the vaccine also regressed, possibly by local dispersion of the vaccine or its effects on immune-mediated mechanisms. These findings suggest that the 9-valent HPV vaccine can provide a therapeutic option for inoperable cutaneous SCCs, in addition to its approved use to prevent anogenital HPV infection."
The mechanisms for the vaccine's therapeutic efficacy in cutaneous malignant tumors are not yet clear, they acknowledged. Similarly, it is not known whether systemic use of the vaccine played a therapeutic role.
Can you pay a private physician to do it, Bright Pebbles? Or go to America in holiday, and get it done here at a drugstore pharmacy. The national Walgreens chain offers HPV innoculations , among others.

Then there is the widely prescribed, dirt-cheap and extensively researched drug Metformin, used mostly for Type II diabetes. Repeated studies have shown that populations which take this drug for years tend to live longer and have less cancers of all kinds. This is independent of its effect on diabetes. Metformin is often used as a comparison drug when other anti-diabetes drugs are being researched. The unusual "side effect" has turned up repeatedly in these studies.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] After tightening American sanctions on Iran, which reached Iranian oil that is the backbone of Iran’s finances, the Khomeini republic’s keepers seem like they’ve lost their mind. The regime’s active figures, such as the smiling Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and the always-scowling “Hajj” Qassem Soleimani, the ambassador of strife in the region, are making strenuous efforts to address this.
Zarif is doing what he does best, embellish and modernize the fake face of the Khomeini ideological republic. Meanwhile, Qassem Soleimani is warmly praising the threats of the most prominent moderate Iranian dove, Hassan Rouhani, to block the Strait of Hormuz if Washington implements its promise to impose sanctions against Iranian oil exports.
There’s nothing new here. It is the game of distributing roles and insistence on denial even if Iranian intelligence agents are arrested for planning to carry out terror attacks. An example is the arrest of diplomat Assadollah Assadi who works at the Iranian embassy in Vienna over a suspected plot to carry out a bomb attack on an exiled Iranian opposition group in France.
This approach resembles the Nazi Goebbels’s approach of denying and lying until people eventually believe you, even if they’re kind to you like the gentlemen in Europe – we salute leftist figure Senora Federica Mogherini who is fighting for the European deal with Iran.
Moment of truth
The purpose of the Trump administration’s determination against the Khomeini regime is clear and it’s to force the latter to surrender and quit sponsoring terrorism. The moment of truth has come no matter how much the Iranian regime deceives others.
The keepers of the Khomeini republic will do what they do best, energize terrorism and open diplomatic gaps to maneuver.
Iran may use the Afghan arena to attack America, according to an article by Russian author Igor Subbotin in Nezavisimaya Gazeta daily and published by the Russia Today website. Subbotin spoke about Tehran’s preparations for a painful response to American sanctions and about the possibility of transferring the Shiite Afghans, “the Hazaras,” from Syria to fight the Americans in Afghanistan. According to the Times, sources in Kabul and in Taliban said Iran is doubling its support to fighters of the Sunni Taliban for the same purpose.
This is the common Iranian response to manage terrorism and cooperate with all terror networks, both Sunni and Shiite, to serve Tehran’s interests. Meanwhile, Iran through its “civil” masks tries to play the game of diplomacy and sweet talk.
For example, after Iran's OPEC governor Hossein Kazempour Ardebili attacked Trump because he requested OPEC to work on decreasing oil prices, he suddenly said: “Our brothers in Saudi Arabia are a proud Muslim nation that’s educated and mature and it will not allow you to talk to us in this tone!”
Imagine the world without the Khomeini republic, just imagine!

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
