Autumn 2023, and I’m up a creek in Idaho!

It has been more than a decade since I hiked up the City Creek Trails in Pocatello, Idaho. I had gotten out of shape and gained a lot of weight, but I’ve recently lost some weight and felt like getting back on the trails. Unfortunately I discovered that my favorite part of the trail is now permanently closed to allow for ‘natural restoration’:

South Trail: Cherry Springs Nature Area, Idaho, March 2024 Thawing

On 22MAR2024, my middle daughter Aryssa, along with my dog Struppi (and I) took a hike through the thawing Cherry Springs Nature Area, in Southeastern Idaho.

The Cherry Springs Nature Area is part of the larger multi-state Caribou-Targhee National Forest (Idaho, Montana, Utah & Wyoming), and is located in the Westside Ranger District of Southeastern Idaho.  It is two miles of hiking trails, a north trail and a south trail.

There was a heavy-wet snow storm a few weeks prior, causing power poles and trees across the region to snap, the South Trail was littered with downed branches and trees:

Holt Arena 2024: Hot Rods ‘Attitude check!’

I went through U.S. Army basic training in 1982 (Fort ‘Lost-in-the-Woods’, Missouri), and at the end of a rough day the Drill Sergeants would yell “Attitude check!”, and we would always respond “Fuck it!”.  In many ways those were better days than today.

On the 15th-16th of March 2024, Idaho State University (ISU)-College of Technology Automotive Program held its ‘Chrome in the Dome’ car show.  This is just a couple of the many Hot-Rods in the show.

05APR2024: UN denounces use of A-I & starvation as weapons of Israel, calls for international weapons ban on Israel!

The United Nations’ Human Rights Council (UNHRC) passed a resolution banning “the sale, transfer and diversion of arms, munitions and other military equipment to Israel, the occupying Power…to prevent further violations of international humanitarian law and violations and abuses of human rights.”

Resolution A/HRC/55/L.30 also denounces the use of artificial intelligence (A-I) in combat as it might be a cause of international human rights crimes.

But the UNHRC is a paper tiger, any resolution adopted by the UNHRC has no legal standing.  

28 UNHRC countries voted in favor, six against (including the United States), and 13 abstentions.

02APR2024 White House presser, Admiral (retired) John Kirby gets frustrated with the barrage of questions concerning Israel’s attack on the Iranian embassy in Syria, supposed U.S. aid for Gazans, but especially about the execution of World Central Kitchen workers by Israel. I did edit this presser to show only those questions concerning the above mentioned.

Terminator: Israel blames ‘Lavender’ A-I for its incessant attacks on charity workers!

04 April 2024 (03:41-UTC-07 Tango 06) 16 Farvardin 1403/25 Ramadan 1445/26 Wu-Chen 4722/04 апрель 2024 года

More proof God is Evil as Israeli military leaders are now blaming their never ending, and obviously specifically targeted, war-crime attacks on civilian charities operating in Gaza.

The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) is calling their Artificial Intelligence (A-I) assassination machine ‘Lavender’.  They admit the computer brain ‘Lavender’ has an error rate of ten percent!

Did an Israeli program Lavender to consider everybody in Gaza as a terrorist?  Remember, A-I is created by humans.

According to a British news media report, apparently the IDF’s A-I terminator system labeled the 37-thousand Gazans, so far killed, as all being ‘Hamas’!  The report also claims that IDF intelligence officers using Lavender were told it was okay to kill civilians!

Knowing this, it becomes insulting when IDF officials now claim the deliberate targeting of U.S.-based charity World Central Kitchen (WCK) was a mistake! The convoy of food workers were not in a crowded area, they were clearly marked, they had been in communication with IDF troops, and yet they were attacked several times (three times by IDF drones) by the IDF, before finally being killed!

WCK founder José Andrés demands and investigation, and states the food workers were “targeted deliberately, nonstop”:

The IDF’s own website claims A-I is “the Key to Modern-Day Survival.”

Common Dreams, March 2024: “The IDF bombed them in homes without hesitation, as a first option, it’s much easier to bomb a family’s home. The system is built to look for them in these situations.”-IDF intelligence officer

The Times of Israel: IDF arrest Palestinians in Gaza using an experimental, artificial intelligence-powered surveillance apparatus!

In December 2023, The Guardian reported on an IDF A-I system called ‘The Gospel’, which was being blamed for turning Gaza into an “assassination factory”!

In March 2023, a Lieber Institute-West Point article stated that the IDF was using A-I “to determine if a target is a military or a civilian one.”

The Jerusalem Post, February 2023: IDF Unit 8200 Data Science revealed to have used experimental A-I to kill at least two people in Gaza, in May 2021.

In 1970 (Cold War), the first in the U.S. fully enclosed colligate sports arena opened; the ASISU (Associated Students of Idaho State University) Minidome.  In 1988 (Cold War), the name was changed to Holt Arena to honor the athletic director who pushed for the creation of the Minidome.  In January 2024 the name was changed, again, to ICCU (Idaho Central Credit Union) Dome, due to the arena’s recent refreshment being funded mostly by the financial institution.

02APR2024: Switzerland condemns Israel’s bombing of Iranian Embassy!

“Thank you, Madam President.

As this is the first public meeting of the month, I would like to assure you of Switzerland’s full support during your presidency, and I would like to thank Japan for its excellent management during the month
of March.

We would like to thank Assistant Secretary-General for the Middle East Khaled Khiari for his speech detailing yesterday’s events in Damascus.
Switzerland condemns the air strike against the Iranian consulate in Damascus, which killed and injured several people.  This strike considerably increases the risk of a major escalation in the region. The spiral of escalation must stop immediately.  This includes a halt to militia attacks in the region and the implementation of Resolution 2728 demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.  Switzerland also recalls that Resolution 2254 calls for a national ceasefire in Syria.

We call on all parties and those with influence over them to exercise the utmost restraint.  All channels of communication must be used to avoid any misunderstandings.  A single miscalculation can have
disastrous consequences.  A further deterioration in the situation must be avoided, and we collectively have the means to prevent it.

Any use of force must strictly comply with international law and international humanitarian law must be respected by all parties. Given the current climate, the proper conduct of diplomatic activity is of the utmost importance.  Diplomatic buildings must not be targeted!

In such situations, dialogue is essential, not least to find solutions. This Council and all States must play their full part in facilitating de-escalation.  Switzerland is ready to make its contribution.

Thank you.”Adrian Hauri, Deputy Permanent Representative of Switzerland to the United Nations
