IBM Sued by State of Missouri for Racist Hiring Practices

Another lawsuit has been filed in the aftermath of the IBM / Red Hat leaks -- which exposed extreme levels of racism throughout the Tech Giant.  Including hiring practices based on ethnicity and anti-White training programs.

This time, the state of Missouri has filed suit against IBM for violating the "Missouri Human Rights Act".

Suit filed on June 20th, 2024 in the state of Missouri.

A statement from the Missouri Attorney General, Andrew Bailey:

I filed suit against IBM for violating the Missouri Human Rights Act. 

 

IBM not only subjects job applicants to unlawful racial quotas, but bases current employees’ pay on whether they participate in IBM’s corporate racism. 

 

Outrageous - and illegal.

 

The Missouri Human Rights Act explicitly prohibits discrimination in employment decisions. 

 

Yet, the CEO of IBM was caught ON VIDEO bragging about his systematic discrimination.

 

He admitted that his racial quotas would mean denying opportunities to American ethnic or racial groups not deemed “underrepresented minorities” by IBM corporate, such as white and Asian Americans.

 

For example, he explicitly pointed out that “Asians in the US are not an underrepresented minority in a tech company. However others are.”

 

That’s not only morally abhorrent, but a violation of both state and federal law.

Missourians deserve answers as to why one of the largest technology companies in the world, with offices based in Missouri, is racially discriminating against both prospective and current employees.

 

As long as I’m Attorney General, discrimination will be dead on arrival in this state. 

 

The suit cites multiple, specific laws being broken by IBM -- both state and Federal -- and quotes from the CEOs of both IBM and Red Hat, who directly state their actions and intentions which break those laws.

The Missouri Attorney General is requesting that the court "permanently enjoin IBM and all its employees, officers, and agents from using IBM's diversity modifier quotas."

In other words: They are asking the court to force IBM to stop using racist hiring policies.

This joins an existing suit against Red Hat (subsidiary of IBM), filed by a former employee back in May, also citing racial discrimination.

The full timeline of all leaks from both IBM and Red Hat -- including videos, slide decks, emails, and more -- are regularly updated on the "The IBM / Red Hat Leaks" page.

The Pokemon Go Spying Conspiracy Theory? Yeah. It's Verified.

Pokemon Go using your phone camera to build a CIA-backed 3D Map AI system.

It sounds like an insane movie plot. But it's real.

In 2016, this was "Lunduke's crazy conspiracy theory about Pokemon Go being used to spy on everyone, backed by the CIA". Now, in 2024, Niantic Labs (the makers of Pokemon Go), proudly brags about using Pokemon Go to spy on you... and using that covertly obtained information to build a massive, 3D artificial intelligence mapping system of private spaces.

"We receive about 1 million fresh scans each week, each containing hundreds of discrete images."

In other words: Lunduke was right.

The futility of Ad-Blockers

Ads are filling the entirety of the Web -- websites, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc. -- at an increasing rate. Prices for those ad placements are plummeting. Consumers are desperate to use ad-blockers to make the web palatable. Google (and others) are desperate to break and block ad-blockers. All of which results in... more ads and lower pay for creators.

It's a fascinatingly annoying cycle. And there's only one viable way out of it.

openSUSE says "No Lunduke allowed!"

Those in power with openSUSE make it clear they will not allow me anywhere near anything related to the openSUSE project. Ever. For any reason.

Well, that settles that, then! Guess I won't be contributing to openSUSE! 🤣
