Jason shares thoughts on “Threads” from Meta (100 million signed up, yikes!)
“Zuckerberg releases the “trap app” Instagram Threads, dubbed the Twitter killer, to the ire of Elon Musk and many of the app’s 70 million new users due to heavy censorship, data privacy concerns, and the fact Threads users must delete their Instagram account to delete Threads.”
Meta’s new app through Instagram, “Threads,” built to rival Twitter, has had over 70,000,000 signups in 72 hours. The release of the app has prompted Twitter to file legal action against Meta, the parent of Instagram, and has alienated millions of Instagram users by immediately censoring users through warnings of misinformation, fact checking, account bans, and the fact Threads users must delete their original Instagram account to delete their Threads account

Today we discuss the Marxist/Technocratic underpinning of Oregon’s “Climate Friendly Equitable Communities”.
Technocracy of 20 Minute Neighborhoods
A plan for an organic change in the structure of society. We can see where neighborhood planning is going, by learning what is happening in mahalla neighborhoods in Uzbekistan under the United Nations Development Program auspices and their partners.
A Bit of History
In 1923, Lewis Mumford wrote of that Golden Day chapter, to transform congested urban populations into architecturally planned cooperative communities. Today known in our day as Agenda 2030.
1920’s Clarence Perry’s contentious iconic design is referred to as a ‘neighborhood unit. Today heard as 20 minute neighborhoods. (Talent Oregon has a blueprint for a 5-minute walk unit plan.
A general description of a neighborhood unit. All the social service needs for a family are within walking distance of their home and school. Heavy traffic is restricted to surrounding arterial streets, for the residential streets are reserved for residents and delivery vehicles. No playground, market or school can be more than one fourth mile from any one home and each neighborhood unit is best served with a maximum population of 5,000 people.
Los Angeles Office of Neighborhood Empowerment mandated the creation of neighborhood councils. Together the councils form the grassroots level of the Los Angeles City government. It is one place where a volunteer is considered a ‘public official’ of the City of Los Angeles, not only to advocate on issues like homelessness, housing, land use, emergency preparedness, public safety, parks, transportation, but the sustainability of equitable delivery of city services to their communities. Council members can be elected by the neighborhood residents and need not be US citizens.
. Under UN auspices wrap around services are provisioned in neighborhood units, called mahallas in Uzbekistan. Timur Dadabaev, a professor at the Institute of Oriental Culture at Tokyo University, narrates the nature of mahallas in Uzbekistan during the pre- and post-soviet decades.
Multiplying the hydra’s presence in every district, the Soviet regime could rely upon the newly established popular assemblies of neighbors and citizens to take action against those antisocial and parasitic elements who refused to engage in “socially useful” labor. The ‘mahalla posboni’ (neighborhood watch) . . . and the comrade courts received instructions from the police and the public prosecutor’s office
Human Rights Watch (HR) organization released a report; Uzbekistan: From House to House: Abuses by Mahalla Committees
Several days after the Mahalla Law was passed, the Cabinet of Ministers issued a statute, known as the Posbon Law, creating the position of a “neighborhood guardian” (posboni)
The following functions of mahalla committees are also included in Article 12 of the Law on Self-Government:
interacting with educational institutions on issues of upbringing; A quasi-governmental committee committed to the oversight of upbringing in the context of raising the whole child, the shared duties of vospitanie.
promoting employment of its citizens; Provision for job placement and or creating job in the service of the mahalla.
setting up, reorganizing or liquidating small business ventures which render everyday service to the population; Mahalla committees would determine which public or private business would survive.
organizing volunteers for work on the local environment, maintenance of buildings, parks, roads, bridges, pavements, sewage systems, monuments, cemeteries; Missing are the methods employed in recruiting so named ‘volunteers.’
taking measures aimed at cost-effective use and decrease in use of fuel, electricity, heat and water wastes; The committees monitor energy and water use to maintain a sustainable community, in accord with the Uzbek government’s commitment to implement the 2030 Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Uzbek’s 2020 Voluntary National Review progress on achieving SDG 6.
promoting the development of animal husbandry; Would promoting animal husbandry also include controlling it, members having direct investment in its production?
controlling use of land; Not unlike Western governmental authorities having a large measure of power over private property to the extent it is no longer ‘private’.
THESE ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF A SOVIET COUNCIL -whether they be in Tashkent or Los Angeles.
Oregon’s Transportation and Growth Management (TGM)
is a joint program of Department of Land Conservation and Development and Oregon Department Of Transportaion working to create thriving, livable places with diverse transportation choices.
https://www.oregon.gov/lcd/TGM/Pages/Topic-Library.aspx
Form-based Codes provide a step-by-step guide for communities.
In March 2020, Governor Brown signed Executive Order 20-04 directing state agencies to reduce climate pollution. . . On July 22, 2022, after approximately 18 months of meetings . . . the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) adopted permanent rules related to the Climate Friendly and Equitable Communities (CFEC) initiative.
“The rules require those communities to change their local transportation and land use plans to do more to ensure Oregonians have more safe, comfortable ways to get around, and don’t have to drive long distances just to meet their daily needs.” (July 21, 2022)

The Hubs of Neighborhood Unit Design
Schools transformed into Community Learning Centers, already described in Oregon law.
Krupskaya, Lenin’s wife, created the socialist orientation for children at the Commisariat The organization of education became a matter for the whole people: community soviets for public education – It’s not about you (teacher); it’s about the students and their capacity to serve as a resource for their community.
It is nothing less than the creation of a ‘communized’ relationship between school and the surrounding community. Early experiments in 1911- “The Rural School as a Community Learning Center” 1911. Later called by UNESCO as Community Education.
“Technocracy is the science of social engineering, the scientific operation of the entire social mechanism to produce and distribute goods and services to the entire population… For the first time in human history, it will be done as a scientific, technical, engineering problem.” (Technocrat Magazine, 1938).
The role of the teacher is not to teach. Oregon Environmental Literacy Plan states: “[E]stablishing ties with community partners is a central rather than tangential part of their work. You will become a facilitator; instruction comes from the community partner and the curriculum resources you organize.”
Center for Disease Control calls for ‘wraparound services’ for the Whole School, Whole Child, Whole Community. Wrap Around Services centered in Community Learning Centers will eventually provide all the social needs of neighborhood residents, young and old alike.
Community Soviet Councils will be the basic administrative governing unit.
Speaking before the American Institute of Architects, Pres. Clinton’s Secretary of Education Richard Riley stated The school becomes the anchor for integrating a host of facilities that can be accessed and shared by the entire community.
A School-based Health Center is one arm of this conspiracy. Certified SBHCs partner with providers who may have no relationship with the parents of a referred child nor are accountable to either parents or a school board.
The US Ed Department’s Guiding Principles of Sustaining Design credits – George Perkins Marsh, a man for the ‘new millennium’. He wrote Man and Nature in 1864 it is certain that climate itself has been gradually deteriorated by human action. So, the wisest course is to create a school from the cradle to the grave.
Education in a Marxist sustainable world begins when you open your eyes in the morning and learn what needs to be done.
“Technocracy is the science of social engineering, the scientific operation of the entire social mechanism to produce and distribute goods and services to the entire population… For the first time in human history, it will be done as a scientific, technical, engineering problem.” (Technocrat Magazine, 1938).
Technocracy will distribute by means of a certificate of distribution available to every citizen from birth to death.” (1930)
The grassroots of delivering a host of changes are contained in the Yearbook. Education may well take this up as a challenge and help the young (as well as the adult) in exploring the ways and means of a more equitable sharing of the resources of our planet. . (Feigl, 1954)
Lewis Mumford described Clarence Perry’s neighborhood unit. All the social service needs for a family are within walking distance of their home and school. Heavy traffic is restricted to surrounding arterial streets, for the residential streets are reserved for residents and delivery vehicles. No playground, market or school can be more than one fourth mile from any one home and each neighborhood unit is best served with a maximum population of 5,000 people.
Restructuring changes over time:
Teachers are to learn their new place in education and their new duties;
- Appendix D of the Oregon Environmental Literacy Plan (OELP) devoted 2 pages of rhetoric that mimics decades of progressive justification for restructuring schools
“[E]stablishing ties with community partners is a central rather than tangential part of their work. You will become a facilitator; instruction comes from the community partner and the curriculum resources you organize. Finding and transforming individual “sparks” into lasting partnerships will ensure plenty of fuel to feed the fire for years, and prevent the program from dying out when the only inspired teacher retires. This is about community!”
Example: SUN service system, short for Schools Uniting Neighborhoods Initiative service system in Multnomah County. These services are not provided directly by Multnomah County and are contracted to be delivered by community-based organizations. The Institute for Educational Leadership (IEL) and the Coalition for Community Schools are the two national organizations that guide and fuel neighborhood unit development. They list policies, frameworks, intergovernmental agreements and pilot programs from Maryland to Oregon.
At the Federal Level.
- Center for Disease Control (CDC) provides directions for sustaining the health of the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) in a Train the Trainers model (ToT).34 Master teachers train the trainers, i.e. teachers, to understand and embrace a model that emphasizes the role of the community in supporting the school.
- S. Department of Education Announces “Over $40 Million to New Cohort of Promise Neighborhoods Grantees” (Sept, 2021), promising 16 states the ability to meet the needs of children and youth . . . improve academic and developmental outcomes . . . of underserved communities
Where Metro Works for Agenda 2030
- City of Atlanta has designated Neighborhood Planning Units (N.P.U.s) boundary codes and the existence of neighborhood planning committees.
- In Connecticut collaboration extends to revitalizing neighborhoods to maintain livability.
“self-reliance in the neighborhood and home ownership, property management, sustainable economic development, effective relations between landlords and tenants, coordinated and comprehensive delivery of services to the neighborhood and creative leveraging of financial resources and . . . neighborhood capacity for self-empowerment.” ) In time, neighborhood residents will have need to establish an economic capacity of their own to barter, trade or sell – say a cottage industry.
- Los Angeles – LA’s 99 Neighborhood Councils together form the grassroots level of the Los Angeles City government. It is one place where a volunteer is considered a ‘public official’ of the City of Los Angeles, not only to advocate on issues like homelessness, housing, land use, emergency preparedness, public safety, parks, transportation, but the sustainability of equitable delivery of City services to their communities. (Department of Neighborhood Empowerment, City of Los Angeles.
- Portland plans have been officially reported since 2009 and again in 2012. – https://www.portlandonline.com/portlandplan/ One can spend hours reading the resources on this site.
- Medford – called Climate Friendly Areas https://www.medfordoregon.gov/Government/Departments/Planning/PlanningProjects
“Climate Friendly Areas (CFA’s) are defined geographies, like a downtown or neighborhood, promoting pedestrian-oriented design. CFA’s are mixed use and have a high level of walkability where residents and visitors are able to travel to their destination without a car. This type of development is key to reducing statewide emissions. To learn more about the Climate Friendly and Equitable Community (CFEC) Rulemaking and Climate Friendly Areas, please see the following resources:
Department of Land Conservation and Development, CFEC Implementation Page
City of Medford Primary Climate Friendly Area Study 2-2-23 Plus maps.
- Tashkent Uzbekistan – Mahallas patterned from the original blueprint for the City of Bagdad. – professor at Tokyo University offers information.
It’s not too far fetched – only to Baghdad and thanks to the US controlled coalition that “The City of Baghdad has 89 official neighborhoods within 9 districts. These official subdivisions of the city served as administrative centers for the delivery of municipal services but until 2003 had no political function. Beginning in April 2003, the U.S. controlled Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) began the process of creating new functions for these subdivisions. The process initially focused on the election of neighborhood councils in the official neighborhoods, elected by neighborhood caucuses.” Our future neighborhood councils will make sure your concerns are heard by the authorities.

SOU’s Championship Women’s Softball Teams
By Dennis Powers
In 1982, Ben Fargone (after careers in the Army, as a Medford mail carrier, and past Mayor of Medford) started with others a men’s softball team and league. He and his wife, Helen, were later inducted into the Medford Hall of Fame for their involvement in Medford softball. With Ben, Larry Binney worked closely (both having fields later named after them), and in 1981 he was appointed to the women’s softball (fast-pitch) head-coaching job at Medford High.
The third season after taking the reins of this fledgling softball program, Binney in 1984 led the Black Tornado to its first state championship. After the North/South split in 1986, Larry retooled and his teams won back-to-back championships in 1997 and 1998. During his 20 seasons at North (retiring in 2002), Binney, the national coach of the year in 1998, racked up four state championships, 17 conference titles and 471 wins against just 103 losses and one tie (82% winning percentage). He also was inducted into the Medford Athletic Hall of Fame.
Binney took over the SOU women’s softball program in 2004 and promptly led the team to back-to-back Cascade Collegiate Conference championships and the only three 30-win seasons in team history (up to then). His 2004 team finished the year with a 40-12 overall record, 20-5 in conference play, and advanced to the NAIA Western Regionals. Retiring in 2007, he had set a then program record with 109 wins and a 68% winning percentage (109-51).
The SOU fast-pitch, softball team continued from there. In 2014, Jessica Pistole became the coach and took the Raiders to three consecutive World Series. In 2019, the Raiders won the national championship, finishing at 52-8 and setting a school record for wins for the third consecutive season. The NAIA Softball Coach of the Year in 2019, she then left SOU for the head coaching job at the University of San Diego, an NCAA Division I school.
When Pistole returned after that one-year stint, her SOU team continued its successes. Covid cancelled the 2020 season. The Raiders in 2021 went 55-6 overall, breaking the school wins record for the fourth full season in a row. At the NAIA World Series, they were the 2nd team in 10 years to win the title from the elimination bracket. Capping this with back-to-back victories against rival Oregon Tech, they claimed the winner-take-all finale in extra innings. SOU received the National Fast-pitch NAIA Coaching Staff of the Year award and Pistole won her second NAIA Softball Coach of the Year award. (Despite a fine 2022 season, SOU was upset in the conference championships and didn’t make the World Series.)
The Raiders (50-12 overall) in 2023, seeded No. 4 in the 10-team double-elimination bracket, outscored their opponents 35-2 over four World Series outings, posting the highest run total and top run differential ever among undefeated, final teams. Just 16 days after Vanguard put SOU on the brink of elimination in the first day of the opening round, SOU ended the season with an 8-game winning streak for its third championship in four seasons.
Pistole is now 323-102 at SOU with a win percentage of 76%. She’s produced the only five World Series teams in school history, and those teams are a combined of 254-60 (81%). In total, 11 Raiders garnered some form of all-star recognition this year;

8:35 Anthony Watt, senior fellow with the Heartland Institute www.Heartland.org www.WattsUpWithThat.com and www.ClimateRealism.com
Many outlets reported over the holiday weekend that July 4th was the hottest day ever recorded of the average temperature across the Earth.
- Washington Post: This July 4 was hot. Earth’s hottest day on record, in fact.
- NBC: July 4th marked hottest day ever recorded globally
- CNN: The planet saw its hottest day on record this week. It’s a record that will be broken again and again
How did they determine the earth’s average temperature? Not by using actual data, but rather by a computer system that makes calculations based off of model. Basically, a bogus process to fuel the climate change narrative.
In reality, looking at Earth’s real time temperatures demonstrate there has been no global warming in 8 years and 10 months despite 500 billion tons of emissions.
Anthony Watts, a senior fellow at The Heartland Institute explains on his website that there are real-time read outs from actual thermometers on the Earth’s surface that show the earth is in fact not as hot as the media has been reporting. Completely debunking the climate change narrative the left is pushing.
