Why the ‘Pearl Harbour’ Technique is Useful in War

Why the ‘Pearl Harbour’ Technique is Useful in War

Throughout history, there is a circular effect where certain scenarios and techniques are enacted over and over again. One of these elements is the infamous ‘Pearl Harbour’ effect, which was also utilised on 911, September 11, 2001. The Project For a New American Century (PNAC), a neoconservative think tank based in Washington, D.C., wrote a paper called Rebuilding America’s Defences in 1997 which called for a “Pearl Harbor incident” to bring the American people together in support of military action in the Middle East. In propaganda terms, without the Pearl Harbour technique, it is hard for any nation to mobilise and motivate troops into action, as well as bolster public opinion as a nation goes to war.

The technique of going to war is in itself a complicated series of movements that the government will have to make to assure the general public that it is the only course of action left.

In essence, fear is the ultimate motivator as well as the threat upon survival. In political terms, a nation must also be united in a bipartisan way to go to war successfully; and this is why a visible attack, as well as televised civilian casualties, women, children and elderlies wounded or dead is the ultimate motivator.

The second stage is instilling anger amongst the population against the enemy, and this is why the airwaves must have constant loops of atrocities and burning buildings to further cement the elements of fear, anger and instil a motivation to fight. This motivation to fight the enemy must be so strong that mothers themselves will willingly send off their sons to war with no compunction or delay.

Both sides of the coin are fed within this perpetual circle of conflict, propaganda and violent warfare. In the case of the perpetual war between Israel and the Palestinians, each act of violence feeds another act of violence from each side, escalating at every level in a crescendo of compounding conflict.

Each side within the current conflict is right in their own sense and wrong at the same time, and each military movement is determined by push-pull factors that determine the final outcome.

Would this be a good time for China to invade Taiwan? Could this be a good time for Russia to invade Poland or continue inflaming ethnic tensions in Kosovo? As one conflict sizzles with authority, others emerge as well, simply because the aggressors want to take advantage of the overstretched factor of the supposed global policeman, the USA, which has been dormant from its usual global policing activities for some time.

Of course, things are not as simplistic as this, there are hundreds or thousands of variables in any conflict, but the main factors still reveal something of the answer to the question.

The circle of history persists over and over again. Humans do not learn, they are bound to their territorial instincts as any animal is bound in its own habitat. It is the year 2023, and the human species is still essentially a fucking caveman. Nothing changes, humans do not learn from history, they do not evolve to higher levels of consciousness as much as they think they do or have. Humans are still base creatures living in their concrete zoos along with their inability to access the higher echelons of consciousness of the enlightened. Without light, there is only darkness, and until humans embrace a form of existence where myths of the past written in supposed holy books are superseded by enlightened universal understanding, then human will continue repeating ad infinitum the same stupid shit they have been doing since the beginning.

Wrath of Israel: Has West Bank and Iran Sealed Its Fate?

While Biden slept and spent trillions of dollars on useless tin-pot socialist projects that serve no purpose at all, Iran has strengthened its octopus grip on the Middle East and is now probably capable of nuclear war. Through its proxies like militant group Hamas, Iran is orchestrating another full on assault on Israel, specifically targeting civilians. Behind Iran, lies Russian influence. What the Iranians and Hamas do not know is that they have now unleashed the demonic wrath of Israel, and have possibly sealed their own fate. Iran is also very fearful of a bilateral deal with arch enemies Saudi Arabia and Israel, and will do anything to thwart it.

Our prophetic parody satire news article of 2011 is slowly realising itself. Remember, prophecies cannot be chosen, they are presented to us without filter or bias, good or bad.

Yom Kippur 2.0

Israel is now at war whether it likes it or not after Hamas terrorists butchered at least 250 civilians in cold blood and took dozens of hostages to Gaza in a major surprise assault that left the country reeling. The surprise attack occurred on the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah.

Touted as Israel’s 9/11 moment by the legacy press, one can only feel that this was an attack designed to catch the headlines and offer some harrowing footage to bolster the troops for the mother of all battles.

Hamas gunmen dragged off dozens of Israeli civilian and military hostages, including babies and their mothers, parading them through the streets of Gaza to baying crowds of Palestinians. The naked body of a German teenage girl who was killed whilst attending a music festival was seen being driven in the back of a pick-up truck. In video footage too graphic to publish, men and young boys are seen spitting on her body.

Unlocking the wrath of Israel is a dangerous pursuit, and it is assured that all hell has just been unleashed. This latest Hamas attack will most certainly lead to war. Global conflict may escalate further in Europe and the Middle East.

How Does Turnitin Work? Tips and Tricks for Students to Produce A+ Papers

When it comes to academic writing, originality is key. Plagiarism, whether accidental or intentional, can have serious consequences. A majority of institutions of higher learning use Turnitin for academic submissions and to counter plagiarism. It is therefore crucial that every college student should learn how to navigate this application effectively.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll demystify Turnitin and explore how it works. More importantly, we’ll provide you with tips and tricks to produce A+ papers while staying on the right side of the academic rules.

Aside from mastering Turnitin, one other way to create exceptional papers is to get help from expert writers online. Here’s a snippet from one of the pioneers of such services about their benefits. “At RoyalWriter, our essay writers UK communicate with students a lot, so this is where our students work in their free time: essay outlines and structure, proper citation, proofreading and editing, plag-free results through Turnitin, and giving essays an overall polish.”

Back to Turnitin.

Understanding Turnitin

At its core, Turnitin is a text-matching software used by educational institutions worldwide.

Turnitin compares the text within your submitted document to an extensive database comprising electronic and print sources, including books, journals, websites, and even other students’ papers. If Turnitin finds similarities between your work and any of these sources, it raises a flag, usually a coloured bar, indicating potential plagiarism.

How to Access Turnitin as a Student

Accessing Turnitin as a student is a straightforward process, and it’s usually done through your institution’s Learning Management System (LMS), such as Canvas or Moodle. Here are the steps to get you started:

Login to Your LMS: Begin by logging into your college or university’s Learning Management System. If you’re unsure which LMS your institution uses, your instructor will provide some guidance.

Look for Turnitin Integration: Once you’ve logged in, navigate to your course or assignment where Turnitin integration is available. It’s commonly found within the assignment submission section or as a designated Turnitin assignment.

Canvas, Moodle, Microsoft Teams, or Sakai: Depending on your institution’s LMS, you may find Turnitin integration through platforms like Canvas, Moodle, Microsoft Teams, or Sakai. Simply click on the relevant link or icon associated with Turnitin within your course.

Direct Submission Link: In some cases, your instructor may provide you with a direct link to submit your work to Turnitin. If you have such a link, follow the instructions provided by your instructor.

Alternatively, if your institution uses a Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) plugin for Turnitin, you can access it through your LMS. Look for the “External Tool” option, and click on it to access Turnitin.

Decoding the Similarity Score

turnitin example

When you receive your Turnitin report, you’ll come across a similarity score that provides a match overview. This score, which is expressed as a percentage coloured bar, represents the proportion of your assignment’s text that matches content from the Turnitin database and other web sources. It’s colour-coded to help you quickly assess the extent of similarity:

  • Blue: No matching text
  • Green: 1% to 24% matching text
  • Yellow: 25% to 49% matching text
  • Orange: 50% to 74% matching text
  • Red: 75% to 100% matching text

Understanding this score is crucial because it provides insights into your paper’s originality. Originality of your writing simply depends on proper citation, and you can learn more about professional referencing help from this royalwriter review. You can then click on the similarity score to obtain a match overview showing the different origins of the matched text, as in the image above.

What Constitutes a ‘Good’ or ‘Bad’ Similarity Score?

There isn’t a fixed number that categorizes a similarity score as ‘good’ or ‘bad.’ Your school or teacher may have set specific thresholds for acceptable similarity scores, so it’s crucial to consult your teacher or review your school’s guidelines to determine the acceptable range.

Some level of similarity is generally expected, especially when including source-based evidence, which is often a requirement for assignments. Check with your instructor to know the implications of any type of score.

Using the Turnitin Report to Enhance Your Writing

If you have the opportunity to revise your writing based on the Similarity Score feedback, consider the following strategies:

Selective Quoting: Choose only the most significant quotes from your sources to include in your assignment. This approach minimizes the chance of extensive matches and encourages you to incorporate quoted material thoughtfully.

Summarization and Paraphrasing: Instead of quoting directly, summarize, paraphrase, or explain ideas in your own words. This not only reduces similarity but also demonstrates your understanding of the material.

Proper Citation: Ensure that you cite all your evidence using the appropriate citation style recommended by your institution. Proper citations not only avoid plagiarism but also enhance the credibility of your work.

Remember that the primary goal is to learn from your feedback and continuously improve your writing. You can also consider using other web sources to perfect your skills, for example, by using an essay writer for hire.

A Few Tips to Keep in Mind

Turnitin typically takes around 24 hours to generate a report. To be on the safe side of time, ensure your instructor allows multiple submission attempts. If not, you’ll have only one chance to submit your work.

Submit your assignment at least 48 hours in advance to allow ample time for the report to be generated and for you to review and make any necessary revisions.

Very important to remember is that no magic percentage guarantees your paper is free from plagiarism. Turnitin’s purpose is to highlight text similarities, not to interpret the results. For example, some topics share fundamental concepts and thus the text might be detected as similar. Therefore, always check to see what your instructor’s guidelines are concerning the desired output.

A low Turnitin score doesn’t automatically mean your paper is plagiarism-free. What truly matters is what Turnitin highlights. If it identifies unquoted text or uncited sources, it constitutes plagiarism, even if the similarity percentage is low.

Final Thoughts on Turnitin

Remember, Turnitin is a tool, not a judge. It doesn’t interpret results; that’s you and your instructor’s responsibility. So, if you see a high or low similarity score, that isn’t to suggest that you are in the red or not.

To safeguard your academic integrity, you should master proper referencing and effective paraphrasing. Don’t solely rely on Turnitin. Use tools such as Mendeley and Zotero to accurately cite on the fly. Ultimately, use Turnitin as a tool just like any other to help you master the craft of proper academic writing.

Liz Truss the Star of Morose Miserable Tory Conference

Liz Truss the Star of Morose Miserable Tory Conference

The socialist Tory Party is having their yearly conference in Manchester, and it is a morose affair as usual. They may call themselves Tories, but are very far from conservative in any way. As usual, miser Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jeremy _unt was on the podium explaining in excruciating terms why he is taxing Britain to a standstill; stifling small business, deterring foreign business and making the lives of everyday Britons a living hell. Directly adjacent to all of this misery, deposed former PM Liz Truss was a chink of rare light, and brought serious points of hope to a party that is stuck in the mire and will most probably be voted out at the next election.

Liz Truss, a true Brexiteer with a forward winning vision, was ousted by remainers in the socialist Tory Party and big whale remainers who work in banks and are aligned with the EU. It was her forward-looking vision for Brexit which triggered the powerful money men to threaten market meltdowns if she was not ousted. To have a successful Britain after Brexit was seen as a huge threat to the EU, and this is why she was ousted. Conversely, Boris Johnson was similarly punished for daring to fight for democracy by realising some form of  Brexit after a massive anti-democratic movement in parliament attempting to quash the people’s vote.

Apart from Liz Truss, this year’s miserable horrid backward-looking Tory conference was a disgraceful malevolent barren affair.

Putin’s Long Game Now Inflaming Tensions in Kosovo

Putin’s Long Game Now Inflaming Tensions in Kosovo

The Grandmaster is moving his pieces once again, this time inflaming tensions in Kosovo with his pawns the Serbs doing his bidding. Putin’s long game is becoming more apparent daily. NATO may be concentrating its efforts in Ukraine, but this is a weakness that Putin and his cronies are counting on.

By opening up a further front in Kosovo, the master strategist will split NATO and increasingly unveil the bloc’s vulnerabilities. This escalation is a fulfilment of Moscow’s aspirations. Inflaming tensions in the Balkans to distract the West from its war in Ukraine is what Serbia and Russia have been doing for months. Propaganda from Russia has been flooding the area for the past couple of months with items claiming that Kosovo belongs to Serbia and that the UK is preparing for war in the region. The purpose of such inflammatory rhetoric is to create ethnic violence and destabilise the region once more. This is a key Russian tactic that has worked time and time again.

Putin essentially is playing with NATO and the EU like a cat plays with a mouse, and he is looking for vulnerabilities in every direction. Could be Georgia, could be Poland, but for now it is Kosovo.

Putin’s economy is also going from strength to strength thanks to his friends in Greece, who are also closely tied to the Serbs. The so-called Western oil embargo is a sham, and Greek shipping magnates are making billions by aiding Russia in its war effort against NATO.

The long game is where it’s at, and as the economically faltering West is more concerned with transgender rights and political correctness, Putin is digging deep and moving around freely with his precise military manoeuvres and destabilising propaganda tactics.

Putin was provoked into action in the first place, but now he is doing the provoking. The corrupt vegetable Biden is a major factor in the emergence of WW3.

New Pirola Covid Strain Able to Avoid Antibodies in Blood

New Pirola Covid Strain Able to Avoid Antibodies in Blood

Even if you are Covid sceptic, the news that the latest strain is able to avoid antibodies in blood, thus bypassing your immune system may be slightly alarming. There seem to be new strains emerging all the time.

A new wave of Pirola BA.2.86 is now in Britain, and because people are not testing for it, there is not enough data to quantify how many people are being infected or where it is primarily doing the most damage. In order to be truly successful, BA.2.86 would need to combine its antigenic advantage with inherent transmissibility of the kind seen in the XBB subvariants.

Again, the signs look like this is another test run before more optimised mutations are relinquished. Gain-of-function research on deadly viruses is now standard practice in many labs across the globe, whether in secret or not. Anyone doing this knows what they want and how the results will help them improve gain-of-function mutations.

After the first pandemic, global populations opened up after prolonged lockdowns and economic damage. They were thus lulled into a false sense of security, and this is what the controllers want. They essentially do not care if there are lockdowns or not, their goal is population reduction, and it is better for them that populations actively deny any form of lockdown so that released pathogens like Pirola can do their bidding.

Whittling down with bursts of virus is probably a preferred method than a full on pandemic that causes alarm amongst populations. Even in China, Xi Jinping and the CCP halted their brutal lockdowns easily after public unrest. That was their goal anyway, and they made up a ruse that they were listening to the people, when in fact as soon as they opened up there was another mass culling event. The government ministers shrugged their shoulders and simply said it was the will of the people.

It is certainly a clever plan, and will go under the radar. The masses are too caught up in their daily lives to even care, and covid apathy is still at large. Global economies are still recovering from the first pandemic, but the waves of new covid strains keep getting released. Each wave has its own purpose, it seems. The real fear is that a particularly well-engineered strain is eventually released which will incorporate all viral optimisations, making it almost undetectable for some time and its ability to avoid antibodies before the body bags start piling up. When you see that happening, get out of dodge — fast.

Man: “I Cannot Say Anything Because I Censor Myself”

A man from Shropshire, England, has revealed that he cannot say anything because he censors everything he tries to say. The man was interviewed on the BBC on Sunday, but was incoherent and distant. Cancel culture and mass censorship has caused many to be weary about what they can write or say on the internet.

Giles O’HanrahO’Hanrahahan, the BBC reporter, kept praising the man for his stance in censoring his own speech.

“This is great news. We can only praise your wonderful Marxist woke stance on censoring yourself. What triggered you to censoring your own speech?”

“I -m a dedi—– woke socia—- pi–e of sh-t sc–bag. This i- w–t ha–ens wh-n y-u a– a w-ke Ma-xist c-nt!”

Censorship of Censorship is Next Stage of Woke Cancel Culture Censors

Censorship of Censorship is Next Stage of Woke Cancel Culture Censors

WOKE CENSORSHIP DIREKTIVE 53921-B released today by the Woke Septom and Soviet Media Overlords stipulates that previously censored material will succumb to further censorship because the act of censorship in itself is an act of censorship that must be censored. Ultimately, all forms of censorship meted out by the media overlords are to be censored and cancelled completely as an act that ensures that the censorship process is completely censored within the remit of current censorship policies by all left-wing soviet woke censorship diktats.

When there is nothing left to censor

Any censorship that does not fall under the jurisdiction of the Woke Septom of censorship will be censored and cancelled forthwith. Censorship within the censor’s spectrum of censorship criteria will be censored and cancelled, and in some cases the censor will censor their own censorious actions by censoring their actions with full censorious disclosure.

In this respect, the act of censorship itself should be censored and cancelled, including the censoring officers who officiate the censoring process with censorship and censoring that mitigate the circumstantial censoring of any form of censorship that may offend censors who were censored themselves via the process of censorship.

Please do not refrain from not censoring events or speech that was censored at one time but was re-censored then censored at a different time when sentiments changed but reverted back to woke politically correct censorship ideology. Censorship of materials that were created prior to censorship in soviet woke ideology must all be censored and removed from human consumption as a form of censorship that equates to past ideological subversion and demoralisation within the censorship field of operations.

PLEASE WAIT FOR UPDATES …

UPDATE: 5 MINUTES LATER

The previous WOKE CENSORSHIP DIREKTIVE 53921-B is currently under review and will be censored.WOKE CENSORSHIP DIREKTIVE 53922-C will supersede the previous censored direktive which will also be censored and cancelled. 

UPDATING … If you are reading this now you have violated CENSOR CODE 309923-D. YOU WILL BE CENSORED SHORTLY.

Man Who Wants Everything Censored Censors Himself By Living in a Bag

Man Who Wants Everything Censored Censors Himself By Living in a Bag

A man who does not agree that humans should have any form of self-expression or freedom of speech and that everything must be heavily censored has censored himself completely and now lives in a black plastic bag.

Ronan Kenterpire, 24, who graduated from Dungworth University in Scotland last year after completing a degree in Socialism and Woke studies, has been at odds with any concept of free human expression, or any opinion that dares oppose the latest official woke narrative.

“I live in this plastic opaque black bag because it protects me from having to see/hear any un-woke opinions, and to censor my own opinion because sometimes I have a thought of my own which is not a piece of soviet woke propaganda released by our woke overlords. Please leave me alone, do not speak or show me anything that is not woke.”

Kenterpire’s black plastic bag is situated on a piece of barren landfill which is 500 km from any human contact or town. Once a month he has a food delivery thrown at the bag from Kirkidlie Council.

If you are walking along, maybe on your weekly ramble and see the black plastic bag with a man in it, please resist the urge to go up to it and give the contents of the bag a good kicking.

The Psychology of Decision-Making at the Card Table

The Psychology of Decision-Making at the Card Table

Understanding the psychology behind decision-making in poker is an intricate journey through the mind’s processes. Players not only engage with the cards but also with their thoughts, emotions, and the dynamics at the table. By dissecting this complex process, you can gain insights into better gameplay and achieve an edge over your opponents.

Cognitive Biases in Poker

Every individual, including seasoned poker players, has cognitive biases. Recognizing and understanding these biases can make a significant difference in how you approach the game.

  • Confirmation Bias: Players often seek information that confirms their pre-existing beliefs, dismissing contrary evidence. Being aware of this bias can help in making more objective decisions during a game.
  • Overconfidence: At times, a player may overestimate their hand’s strength or their read on an opponent. Regularly assessing one’s confidence levels can lead to better game decisions.
  • Loss Aversion: Humans tend to prefer avoiding losses over acquiring gains. In poker, this can translate into players being overly cautious, potentially missing opportunities to capitalize on strong hands.

Cognitive Processes Behind Card Game Choices

It’s fascinating to explore the cognitive mechanics behind decisions at the card table. While traditional decision-making models focus on logic and rationality, the card table introduces a blend of intuition, strategy, and probability assessment. One could observe a player contemplating their next move, weighing the odds based on the cards they hold.

For instance, when considering poker hands ranked in terms of strength, a player might strategically choose to fold or raise based on their perceived advantage. Such decisions aren’t solely about the cards in hand but involve reading opponents, understanding game dynamics, and predicting future rounds. This intricate process underscores the depth and sophistication of human cognition, even in leisurely activities.

The Role of Emotion

Emotion plays a pivotal role in decision-making. In poker, it’s termed ’tilt’ – a state where emotions, rather than rational thought, drive decisions. Recognizing the early signs of tilt and developing strategies to combat it can drastically improve your play.

  • Recognizing Tilt: It’s essential to understand your emotional triggers. Whether it’s a bad beat, a taunting opponent, or external life stresses, identifying what puts you on tilt is the first step in managing it.
  • Strategies to Combat Tilt: Taking breaks, practising mindfulness, or having a support system can help you reset and approach the game with a clear mind.

The Power of Observation

By closely observing opponents, players can pick up on patterns, behaviours, and tendencies, all of which can be utilized to make more informed decisions.

  • Reading Physical Tells: While some players may have obvious physical tells, others might have subtle ones. It could be as noticeable as a hand tremor or as slight as a change in breathing.
  • Behavioural Patterns: Does your opponent raise often from a specific position? Do they tend to bluff in certain situations? Picking up on these patterns can give you valuable information.

Long-Term vs. Short-Term Thinking

Successful poker players often think about the bigger picture, focusing on making decisions that are profitable in the long run rather than seeking immediate gratification.

  • Risk Management: Assessing the risk vs. reward of each decision can prevent impulsive choices that might provide short-term gains but are detrimental in the long run.
  • Strategic Play: Developing a comprehensive game plan, rather than reacting impulsively to individual hands, can lead to consistent success.

The Impact of Stress on Decisions

Stress, whether induced by the game or external factors, can profoundly impact a player’s decision-making ability. Under stress, the brain might resort to instinctual, rather than logical, responses.

  • Physical Response to Stress: The body’s initial response to stress is the ‘fight or flight’ reaction, releasing adrenaline. This can result in heightened alertness but can also lead to rash decisions.
  • Decision Fatigue: Prolonged periods of stress can lead to decision fatigue, where the quality of decisions degrades after making numerous choices. In a long poker session, this can result in suboptimal play during later stages.

Mitigating Stress Effects: Regular breaks, maintaining physical health, and practising relaxation techniques can help mitigate the adverse effects of stress, ensuring that your decisions remain sharp and well-informed.

Adaptive Decision-making Strategies

Poker is a dynamic game, and circumstances can change rapidly. An adaptive decision-making strategy ensures players remain flexible and can adjust their gameplay based on evolving situations.

  • Scenario Analysis: Before making a decision, considering various scenarios and outcomes can prepare a player for any turn of events.
  • Feedback Loop: After each session, reviewing key decisions and understanding the outcomes can help in refining strategies and avoiding past mistakes.
  • Continuous Learning: The game of poker evolves, and strategies that were once effective might become obsolete. Staying updated with new game theories and regularly reassessing one’s strategies ensures players remain competitive.

Understanding an opponent’s mindset is as vital as mastering card strategies in poker. It opens doors to anticipating their next moves, allowing you to counteract their tactics more effectively. Gaining this kind of psychological insight into decision-making helps you make more informed choices, thereby increasing your opportunities for a successful game.
