Letter to the editor: Censorship threatens the truth – New Bern Sun Journal

Posted: March 9, 2021 at 1:22 pm

Rodger Whitney| New Bern

I was wrong about censorship being just one step lower than murder. It is worse than murder.

The destruction of an idea or body of work that could potentially live for centuries is unacceptable. Now, those who would rewrite history, hide what we were, hide the attitudes that have brought us to this point in time so they do not have to look at the good, the bad and the ugly of humankind's existence have attacked Dr. Seuss.

Over time, attacks on Mark Twain and other classic writers as well as artists and statues have been tolerated. We cannot allow censorship, the greatest threat to a free America, to continue.

Whether by social media persuading people not to view or use products and images and books, or by the removal of artworks, statues or books from a library, Censorship threatens truth...and the ability to learn from the mistakes of the past.

Slavery was a mistake. It is a mistake that has existed with Whites owning Whites, Whites owning other races, Africans owning Africans...a mistake that continues now with sex trades and other equally bad situations. We cannot learn from these mistakes if we do not know them.

We cannot learn about our country if we do not know, acknowledge and understand the struggles of the Civil War, the good of those who tried to end domestic slavery.

We cannot learn about music, art, literature and freedom of the press if censorship is allowed.

Write or e-mail your state and federal legislators. Write and email the business giants that threaten free expression...and contact the publishers of Dr. Seuss and let them know that knuckling under pressure sends a very bad message.

A free country cannot be without uncensored free expression.

Is Amazon allowed to censor conservative books? – Deseret News

Posted: at 1:22 pm

Editors note: The death of Rush Limbaugh, the growth of Newsmax and charges of censorship by Amazon and other book sellers are among the forces shaking up conservative media companies. In this three-part series, the Deseret News examines the challenges facing radio, television and book publishing, and how those challenges might affect the companies and you: the reader, listener and viewer.

Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley lost a book deal. Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling lost fans. And now, even as a prospective merger of two large publishing houses in the U.S. is rattling the industry, Amazon is deleting content it deems offensive from the worlds largest platform for book sales.

In this tumultuous landscape, can conservative authors still continue to speak freely and sell books?

Yes, publishers say, but they may have to change the way they do business in a culture newly cognizant of the power to cancel people with unpopular opinions.

We dont let it directly determine what we publish, but the fact is, with every book, there is always fear that the book is going to be pulled. The authors feel very vulnerable, said David Bernstein, publisher of Bombardier Books, a conservative imprint of Post Hill Press.

Conservative fears were realized this month when the book When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment, by Catholic scholar Ryan T. Anderson, vanished from the Amazon website three years after it was published.

Four Republican senators, including Utahs Mike Lee, called the action political censorship, saying in a letter to CEO Jeff Bezos that Amazon has openly signaled to conservative Americans that their views are not welcome on its platforms.

But the controversy over Andersons book is only the latest action troubling conservative writers and publishers. Others include the cancellation of a forthcoming Hawley book critical of technology companies by Simon & Schuster, protests against a new book by Canadian psychologist and author Jordan Peterson, and an open letter signed by people in the publishing industry who say no one affiliated with former President Donald Trumps administration should get a book contract.

The tremors shaking book publishing usually go undetected by the public, since the average reader only pays attention to the book, its content and the author, not the company that publishes a book, said Thomas Spence, who became president and publisher of Regnery Publishing a year ago.

Regnery, founded in 1947, has published books by Ann Coulter, Newt Gingrich, Michelle Malkin and Dennis Prager, among other conservatives well acquainted with controversy. Regnerys success was a major reason that the largest publishing houses in the U.S. established their own conservative imprints, publishing insiders say.

But the outcry against authors who express unpopular beliefs is growing louder in the environment known as cancel culture, and some writers are warning that recent events will effectively muzzle conservatives. The backlash to Amazons decision, however, suggests that the outlook for conservative publishing is still bright. Heres why.

Andersons book, described by author Rod Dreher as a well-written, scientifically informed critique of gender ideology by a leading Catholic public intellectual, is still for sale on the website of the publisher, Encounter Books, as well as on the Barnes & Noble website and other places online.

Anderson, who recently became president of the Ethics & Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C., told Dreher, writing for The American Conservative, that he has sold a couple of thousand books in the past week, adding this is unheard of for a three-year-old book.

He noted that Amazons action came at the same time Congress was considering the Equality Act and suggested that Amazons action has a silver lining, which is this could be (the) further catalyst thatll interrupt the libertarian slumber of many conservatives and prompt them to think critically about what, for example, the natural law says about both the justification of and limits to economic liberties.

Author Abigail Shrier is not as optimistic. Shrier, a journalist whose book Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters, has been removed twice from the Target website, wrote that the Amazon case is dangerous because of the outsized influence the company wields in publishing.

As a direct result of Amazons action, many outstanding books will now go unwritten; they will not be commissioned whenever Amazons distribution is the slightest bit in doubt. As I write this, authors are being dropped by agents or politely refused representation, based on what the agents now know Amazon will not carry, Shrier wrote.

Shriers book, however, is still listed on Amazon, as is God and the Transgender Debate, an examination of what the Bible has to say about gender by Southern Baptist theologian Andrew T. Walker.

So is a take on Andersons book, Let Harry Become Sally, an e-book by Kelly R. Novak that Amazon billed last week as a #1 best seller.

Amazon has not given a specific reason for removing Andersons book, saying only that the company reserves the right to delist content that violates its standards.

In an email, Anderson said this could be a moment that determines how the company will operate going forward. If Amazon hears from enough people, perhaps that will lead it to reconsider its decision and not just on me, but also preventing future de-platforming. If Amazon gets away with this, itll likely lead to more de-platforming in the future.

While Anderson can only speculate about the reasons his book is no longer on Amazon, Hawley, the Missouri senator, knows why Simon & Schuster canceled his book contract because the company put out a statement. Without giving specifics, the publisher said that Hawley, a Trump supporter who was the first senator to say he would challenge the 2020 election results, had a role in the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

As a publisher it will always be our mission to amplify a variety of voices and viewpoints; at the same time, we take seriously our larger public responsibility as citizens, and cannot support Senator Hawley after his role in what became a dangerous threat to our democracy and freedom, the statement said.

Hawleys book deal was canceled the day after the riot. The next week, more than 250 authors, editors, agents and other workers in publishing signed an open letter that said no companies should publish work by anyone who incited, suborned, instigated or otherwise supported the riot, or who was a participant in the Trump administration. The number of signers is now approaching 600.

But within two weeks, Hawley had another publisher in Regnery, and Spence explained the decision in an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal, in which he said cancel culture is more appropriately described as blacklisting.

Not so long ago, publishing professionals would have been horrified to be accused of it. Today they compete to see who can proclaim his blacklist with the fiercest invective, Spence wrote.

So far, Amazon hasnt been inclined to cancel Hawleys book; its accepting pre-orders for The Tyranny of Big Tech and gives a release date of May 4.

Spence said hed been following Hawleys career knew he was a Yale Law School graduate and was a former Supreme Court clerk and had thought it would be nice to have a book from him before this one essentially landed in his lap. A lot of people have sent me emails saying, Oh, youre so courageous, thanks for taking a stand and taking this book, and I have to blush. I think I did the right thing, but I dont know that it was particularly courageous in this case, he said.

Getting canceled by Simon & Schuster has raised the profile of the book a lot, he added.

That has happened before, said Bernstein of Bombardier Books. When Simon & Schuster canceled a book by Milo Yiannopoulos in 2017, the far-right commentator self-published Dangerous and sold upwards of 100,000 copies, Bernstein said.

Donald Trump Jr. also self-published his second book, Liberal Privilege.

Bernstein said that conservative imprints such as Center Street at Hachette Book Group or Sentinel at Penguin are ghettos within the largest publishing houses, which he said skew young and liberal. The problem with conservative books within the large publishing houses is that theyre not going to support you if there is any controversy. The first whiff of controversy, Josh Hawley gets his book canceled. The first whiff of controversy, (Florida GOP Congressman) Matt Gaetz gets his book canceled. The editors get fired or get shifted around. Or the imprint gets closed. All of these things are happening at an increasing pace right now.

The New York Times recently reported that longtime editor Kate Hartson, editorial director at Center Street, had been let go and that Hartson told colleagues she thought her termination was because of her political beliefs. She had published books by Donald Trump Jr., Newt Gingrich, radio host Michael Savage and Rand Paul, among others. Her most recent book was reported to be Unmasked: Inside Antifas Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy, by Andy Ngo.

Not every objection to an author results in a book being canceled. When Penguin Random House Canada announced that it was publishing Jordan Petersons Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life, the company had to hold a town-hall style meeting for employees who were upset about the decision. It was published anyway. (In the U.S., the book was released March 2 under Penguins Portfolio imprint.)

And some authors, like J.K. Rowling, have the benefit of being too successful to be truly canceled, Bernstein said. Her position in publishing is kind of untouchable. When you make up that much of a companys bottom line shes like a line item of her own on their balance sheet no company is going to release her and give up that revenue.

For many conservative authors, however, the fear of being de-platformed is real, whether it be on a sales platform or social media.

Frankly, the number of books that get pulled off of Amazon is infinitesimal, but these stories get magnified and people are rightly concerned, because the number of people being de-platformed on Twitter started off being very small, too, Bernstein said.

Small conservative imprints such as Bombardier may benefit from the current environment if authors seek publishers who share their views. But so may Regnery, whose namesake, the late Henry Regnery, published Memoirs of a Dissident Publisher in 1979.

Spence, whose conservative views were shaped when he read The Conservative Mind by the late Russell Kirk, welcomes the business, although he realizes that this may be a particularly vulnerable moment for conservative publishers.

Certain big players in the publishing world have the power to make our business very difficult if they want to. Thats Amazon and Google, all the people targeted by Josh Hawleys book, and maybe Im stupid to be publishing a book punching them in the nose, Spence said.

If we couldnt sell our books on Amazon, that would be a pretty serious blow. We sell most of our books on Amazon. What they have done on rare occasions is make it more difficult for people to find our books. He cited Shriers book, which Regnery published. The company wanted to buy ads that would make the book more prominent in searches, but Spence said that Amazon would not let them buy ads for that book.

Spence is also cognizant of the power of Facebook and Twitter, and that social media platforms could also take action to block promotion of one of his authors or books.

Theres a lot of potential hazards on the road ahead, he said. But its also good times for Regnery, because theres no such thing as bad publicity. Controversy is good.

A teenagers poem to account for a year under lockdown.

From this good roundupof statements andart created by US teenagers in response to the pandemic, we discovered"okay" by Brooklyn'sSuhaylah Sirajul-Islam, age 15. An excerpt:

Whats it like, being a teenager in quarantine?its the same i guess.except time passes more slowly.and youre not allowed to go outside.its feeling exhausted from all the schoolwork.and touch-starved because your friends arent there.suddenly, the two-bedroom apartment you share with five family members,finally begins to feel cramped.its feeling terrified, because you share a roomwith your covid-positive aunt, who refuses to see a doctor.and you can hear your dad, coughing through the walls.and your mom at 2 a.m., reciting quran andrushing to make tea for the both of them.she gets sick too.

NASA: This Asteroid Will Get So Close It Could Smash Into Earth’s Satellites – Futurism

Posted: at 1:15 pm

It'll come so close to Earth that you'll be able to see it with the naked eye.Earth to the Moon

An asteroid roughly the size of the Eiffel Tower passed by Earth on Friday and NASA scientists say its next flyby in 2029 might result in a collision with orbiting satellites.

On Friday night, the asteroid 99942 Apophis (named after the Ancient Egyptian demon serpent god of chaos) came within 10.4 million miles of Earth, according to Insider. While thats a comfortable distance away, NASA scientists say its going to get within 19,800 miles of the planet the next time it comes around in 2029. Thats pretty close, far less than the distance between the Earth and the Moon and its close enough to potentially collide with high-altitude communications satellites.

Dont worry if youre a little impatient to see what that might look like. NASA released an animation showing how close Apophis will get to our planet:

When the asteroid was initially discovered in 2004, some researchers calculated that it could actually impact Earth in 2029. That might explain its very,uh, heavy metal name.

Luckily, NASA now says that itll pass by without touching the planet and actually provide a chance to gather rich data from the asteroid.

The Apophis close approach in 2029 will be an incredible opportunity for science, said Marina Brozovi, a radar scientist with NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. Well observe the asteroid with both optical and radar telescopes. With radar observations, we might be able to see surface details that are only a few meters in size.

Apophis is 1,120 feet wide (roughly three-and-a-half football fields) making it as wide as the Eiffel Tower is tall.

Its so large, and its flyby will be so close,that those on the ground will be able to witness it with their naked eye. Itll be closest to Earth at around 6pm ET on April 13, 2029, crossing the Atlantic ocean in just an hour. At some point, it will travel the entire width of the full Moon in a single minute and get as bright as the Little Dipper.

That distance will be able to provide scientists with ample opportunity to study it and gather data on the asteroids composition. Meanwhile, the rest of us get to be thankful that we dont have to send Bruce Willis and a crew of oil drillers to try and blow it up for us.

Editors note 3/6/2021: This story originally misstated the distance between the Earth and the Moon. It has been updated.

This Photo of the Sun Is Unlike Anything You’ve Ever Seen – Futurism

Posted: at 1:15 pm

"This type of photography is an incredible challenge."Sun Stunner

Anew homemade photo of the Sun looks absolutely mind-blowing.

A Redditor going by the moniker TheVastReachesposted the photo to the Space subreddit showcasing their highly-detailed and processed photograph of the Sun.

Perhaps more surprisingly, the photo wasnt taken from a high-tech observatory but from the users backyard.

This photo was shot on my backyard solar telescope, they wrote on the post.

According to the TheVastReaches, the photo shows the turbulent nature of the solar chromosphere or the second of three main layers of the Suns atmosphere.

This type of photography is an incredible challenge due to the overwhelming light of the photosphere below, the user wrote. Solar images are always software-processed to reveal contrast. I took those methods as far as I could, and then some!

Along with the stunning detail of the layer, the user points out that you can also see a massive sunspot near the edge thats big enough to swallow the Earth whole!

Though TheVastReaches was able to snap the photo from their backyard, they had some powerful (and pricey) equipment to help them out.

They listed the equipment as follows: Explore Scientific AR152, Daystar Quark Chromosphere, ASI174MM-Cool, and a Celestron AVX. At the time of publishing, the hardware would cost you a hefty sub-total of nearly $4,000.

But honestly, that might be worth it for such a cool hobby and equally cool photos to show for it.After all, its still less than NASAs $10 billion James Webb space telescope.

CDC: People Who Are Fully Vaccinated Can Gather Indoors – Futurism

Posted: at 1:15 pm

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced today that Americans who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can gather in small numbers indoors, The New York Times reports.

Other precautions, including social distancing and masking, are still in effect in public spaces.

Fully vaccinated means that at least two weeks have elapsed since a given person has received their second Pfizer or Moderna shot, or a single dose of the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

In effect, as the Times points out, fully vaccinated grandparents are now able to visit their unvaccinated families without having to mask up or socially distance.

There are some activities that fully vaccinated people can begin to resume now in the privacy of their own homes, CDC director Rochelle Walensky said in a statement, as quoted by The Wall Street Journal. Everyone even those who are vaccinated should continue with all mitigation strategies when in public settings.

The recommendation did come flush with caveats and asterisks. For instance, the CDC noted that we still dont know for sure if those who are fully vaccinated are no longer at risk of spreading the virus unknowingly and without showing any symptoms. New discoveries in that area could change the guidelines.

We know that people want to get vaccinated so they can get back to doing the things they enjoy with the people they love, Walensky said.

To date, almost 60 million Americans have received at least one dose, while roughly half of those have been fully vaccinated, according to CDC data.

The Starship Landing Looks Absolutely Incredible in Slow Motion – Futurism

Posted: at 1:15 pm

A Starship explosion has never looked this good.Big Boom

SpaceXs Starship SN10 prototype experienced a bit of an oopsie after managing to land.

The tower of stainless steel decided to give up the ghost several minutes after touchdown on Wednesday, going up in a massive plume of flames just like its two predecessors SN8 and SN9.

RIP SN10, honorable discharge, Musk tweeted after the event.

Courtesy of space launch photography YouTube account Cosmic Perspective, we can relive the event in incredible slow motion, including the sounds of a cheering crowd near the launch pad.

The rocket can be seen popping like an over-carbonated soda can, erupting into a gigantic fireball. Moments later, pieces of whats left of the rocket can be seen careening back to the surface below, landing with a satisfying thud.

The footage is detailed enough to show individual pieces of steel being flung in every direction.

It wont be long until we see the next full-scale Starship prototype fly. The next prototype, called SN11, is ready to roll out to the pad in the very near future, said John Insprucker, who was hosting Wednesdays live stream, as quoted by SpaceNews.

Apple AR/VR headset to arrive in 2022 followed by futuristic smart contact lenses (report) – Laptop Mag

Posted: at 1:15 pm

Apple's rumoured VR headset may be closer than we think after Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo gave a release window in a research note with TF International Securities (via MacRumors).

Kuo predicts Apple's mixed reality headset will be released by mid-2022, along with the Apple AR glasses by 2025. There's even word of futuristic AR contact lenses by 2030, which gives us a decade to get used to putting in contact lenses for those of us who get squeamish at the thought.

"We predict that Apple's MR/AR product roadmap includes three phases: helmet type by 2022, glasses type by 2025, and contact lens type by 20302040," stated Kuo. "We foresee that the helmet product will provide AR and VR experiences, while glasses and contact lens types of products are more likely to focus on AR applications."

The analyst also believes the headset will be lighter than other VR headsets with a weight of around 100g-200 grams and will have an emphasis on portability with its own chip and storage, much like the popular Oculus Quest 2. He also expects it to be priced at $1,000 in the U.S.

A previous rumour about the Apple VR headset from The Information stated it would have a $3,000 price tag, with 8K displays and advanced technology for eye-tracking. It also said the VR headset would release in 2022. This could mean various headset models will be coming out, including a premium edition and budget option.

The 2025 Apple AR glasses are also expected to feature micro OLED displays, and according to Kuo, will offer a see-through AR experience. We can imagine it beaming maps and messages into the user's field of vision, with the glasses being controlled through an iPhone.

As for the smart contact lenses? Apparently, Kuo says it will usher in the era of "invisible computing." Not much more was said, but Minority Report definitely comes to mind.

VR headsets have already hit mainstream thanks to the Oculus Quest 2, giving us next-gen experiences from VR exercising to VR dating. Apple is clearly looking to jump on that bandwagon and wants to get its foot in the door for AR contact lenses if what Kuo states is true.

Futuristic 2.5 million compound to house the Asset Recovery Bureau – Times of Malta

Posted: at 1:15 pm

The Justice Ministry is to spend 2.5 million on a new futuristic compound in al Far to securely store assets recovered from crime, minister Edward ZammitLewis has said.

Plans of the new building housing the Asset Recovery Bureau were unveiled during a news conference on Tuesday.

The four-storey building will preserve recovered from criminal activities, including jewellery, works of art, boats, trailers and cars.

According to designers EMDP, the concept for the building is derived from traditional Maltese architecture such as porticos, forts and muxrabija to highlight the compound's function as a "secure heaven" and a "discrete sentinel".

Speaking at a press conference, Zammit Lewis explained that in terms of the law the bureau can confiscate assets from people suspected of having acquired them from the proceeds of crime. Such assets can be seized at the start of legal proceedings.

The Asset Recovery Bureau was set up by legislation in 2015 but its operations were stunted, with some regulations not having been brought into force for a couple of years, parliament heard last week

Asked in Parliament at the end of 2018 how much the ARB had recovered since 2017, then Justice Minister Owen Bonnici said the bureau confiscated 1,500 in August 2018 and 1,260 in October 2018.

In 2019, Times of Malta had reported thatthe bureau was left in the lurch after both the Police Commissioner and Inland Revenue Commissioner said they were short of staff to assign full-time officers to work there.

It was also announced in 2019 thatthe bureau had entered into a project with Wilsons Auctions, to provide technical assistance in the management, disposal and valuation services for crime-related assets.

The bureau ended up in hot water last year when it sold off a Ferrari owned by a suspected drug dealer, despite him never being convicted of a crime in Malta. The court had ordered the attorney general to pay the car's original owner 70,000 in compensation.

France Tested Nuclear Weapons in Africa. Now Radioactive Dust Is Drifting Back Into France. – Futurism

Posted: at 1:15 pm

Ironic.Welcome Home

Back in 1960, France conducted nuclear tests in the Sahara Desert. Referred to by the codename Gerboise Bleue, the tests included the detonation of four nuclear bombs in Algeria over the course of 14 months.

Now, fallout from those explosions is coming back home, according to Euronews, as strong seasonal winds carry radioactive Saharan dust all the way back to France. Thankfully, experts believe the dust to be harmless but it serves as a poignant reminder of the longlasting impact that nuclear fallout can have on an area.

Powerful winds carried the Saharan dust and particles to Frances Jura region in February, briefly turning the snow orange. When it settled, scientists from Frances Associationfor Control of Radioactivity in the West (ACRO) took samples, where they detected cesium-137, a nuclear fission byproduct given off by the Gerboise Bleue explosions.

This radioactive contamination, which comes from far away, 60 years after the nuclear explosions, reminds us of the perennial radioactive contamination in the Sahara, for which France is responsible, reads an ACRO report.

Experts studying the traveling radiation say that it doesnt pose any extraordinary threat to people in the area.

What actually exposes us the most to radioactivity is the natural radon that emanates naturally from the soil itself, Pedro Salazar Carballo, a chemist at the University of La Laguna, told Euronews.

So instead, the radioactive dust will merely serve as a reminder of the toll that nuclear blasts take on the planet.
