HERE’S ONE FOR THE 3-D PRINTING SCRAPBOOK: HOUSE PRINTED IN ...                  ~ hehe drip,drip,Drip,DRIP

It has been a while since I've updated the 3d-printing scrapbook on this site, but not for want of stories about it. In fact, as we will discover this week, there is big news on this front, beginning with today's story, which several readers here noticed and shared. Now, you may be wondering why I've put this story under the category of the "transhumanist scrapbook," but we'll get to that in a moment, for it has to do with today's high octane speculation. 3-d printed structures have already been built in China, so what's the fuss here? Here's one version of this story that appeared at Zero Hedge:

This House Was 3D-Printed In Under 24 Hours At A Cost Of Just $10,000

OK... the "house" is not exactly a nice looking modern American middle class brick home with faux Tudor turrets and windows, but then again, those homes now cost as much as three-or-four modern overpriced automobiles that can be remote controlled and sent into trees if you or your family step out of line.   Ahhh... progress!

This cozy little place was only a little over $10,000, and that means, considerably less money than a new car, and unlike other structures made from "additive manufacturing," this one was not printed elsewhere and assembled on the spot, but printed right on the spot.  With a little extra money, I'm sure a basement could have been dug out and a basement printed as well for those requiring shelter during tornado season in Russia (remember,  they get them too).

But just allow your mind to wander a bit, and speculate on all the implications: suppose they perfect all this and can print your modern American middle class brick home with faux Tudor turrets and windows... at a fraction of the cost (that is to say, for the price of just one - not several - of the modern over-priced automobiles that can be remote controlled and sent into trees if you or your family step out of line). What's brought down the cost? Once again, it's labor productivity that has been drastically reduced.  Now let your imagination really go: imagine printing roads with the process. Indeed, why have humans driving the equipment that digs the roadbeds at all? This can be done with automatically controlled vehicles. Another robot printer can print the frames for the concrete pouring, and another can then pour the concrete. Few, or no, humans needed. Cost of making or even repairing and maintaining the road? Drastically reduced. Why? Labor productivity has once again declined, dramatically.

Speculate further: if it is simple houses today, why not high-rises? As the article states, apartment buildings have already been constructed in China using parts printed by 3-d printing. But now imagine doing it on the spot - as with this little house - and today's erection cranes give way to tomorrow's 3-d printing modules, and high rises could conceivably go up not in a matter of weeks, but possibly just days. And again, at a fraction of the cost. Why? Once again, because of the decline of the costs of labor productivity.

And of course, there is the application of the same technology for space purposes; already NASA and other space agencies are looking at the process not only for printing spare parts in space for simple repairs, but looking much farther ahead to the possibilities of using the process to construct permanent human habitation and working spaces off-world. And the black projects world has a wonderful new technology to play with in their underground bases and tunnels, a boon not only to the elimination of labor productivity and maintenance costs, but, as human labor production requirements fall, so do the security risks as fewer people are "in the know." As I've stated before, I strongly suspect that additive manufacturing comes out of the black world, since the process has been around for a long time(decades, if one really digs into it), and it probably much more advanced in that black projects world than is evident in the public one. (And here's a thought to ponder, why in the past few years has 3-d printing been being "driven" into the public consciousness by stories such as these?)

So why belabor all of this? Because again traditional economic models of analysis will have to be drastically revised. Typically, housing is one area that has been looked at as an indicator of the economy's health and the employment market. When houses are built, people are spending, and people are employed building them. But with the progress and advances in the additive manufacturing process and the low cost of building a house manufactured on the spot, more people who cannot now build or afford a home will be able to do so. Thus, a housing market can expand, without the hitherto typical expansion of employment. Hence, for those making such models and emphasizing the need to shift back to a production economy, a problem is posed: how does one increase production when labor productivity is falling due to technological progress? What does one do with the decrease of jobs once filled by humans?

As I've argued before, there must be a dramatic increase in human productivity.

Canadian Foreign Minister Scapegoats Russian Hackers for Exposing Nazi Grandfather

Published 9 March 2017

While Foreign Affairs Minister Chyrstia Freeland dismissed the news as Russian propaganda, it was actually Ukrainian Canadians who unearthed the information.

To say Canada’s “star diplomat,” Chyrstia Freeland, has skeletons in her closet, is a grave understatement. The country’s foreign affairs minister had a Nazi collaborator as grandfather — a fact she knew for decades, but didn't stop her from peddling her way to a top government post.

As the revelation came to light this week, Freeland has dismissed the facts as part of a “Russian disinformation campaign,” raising questions among some about the prospects for Canada’s role in Ukraine. On Monday, Canada extended its military training mission to the Eastern European nation, supporting a government that has ties to extreme, far-right nationalist elements and anti-Semitic militias.

While Freeland dismissed the news as Russian propaganda, it was actually Ukrainian Canadians who unearthed the information by digging through provincial archives in Edmonton, Alberta. Alex Boykowich and his colleague, through their own independent research, found that Michael Chomiak, Freeland’s maternal Ukrainian grandfather, was chief editor of a Nazi newspaper in Krakow, Poland called Krakivski Visti, which translate to Krakow News. In his post, Chomiak published anti-Jewish diatribes that supported the Nazi's regime of terror that later became known as the Holocaust.

“We saw photographs of Chomiak with Nazi officials, swastikas with Ukrainian nationalist symbols,” Boykowich, a member of the Communist Party of Canada, told teleSUR.

He explained that he and his colleague became interested in Freeland after the media gave undue attention to the rising diplomat. They began researching about her in December 2016, before Freeland was offered post as foreign minister in January, as Boykowich — of Ukrainian heritage — became intrigued to learn that Freeland, too, was Ukrainian.

“We found a profile of her that said her mother was born in a camp for displaced peoples in Germany,” Boykowich explained, adding that there were only two reasons Ukrainians would be in Germany at that time: if they were enslaved laborers or Nazi collaborators.

Pouring through the archives’ 25 boxes on Chomiak, they discovered his bonafide links with the ethno-supremacist movement.

Krakivski Visti was established by the German Army and was supervised by Nazi intelligence, after it was taken away from its Jewish owner Moishe Kafner, who later died in the Belsen concentration camp in 1942. Like many publications at that time that were seized by Nazis from their Jewish owners, the paper functioned as a Nazi propaganda outlet.

“The editorial boards carried out a policy of soliciting Ukrainian support for the German cause,” the Los Angeles Holocaust Museum states about Krakivski Visti and a similar newspaper, Lvivski Visti. “It was typical, within these publications, to not to give any accounts of the German genocidal policy, and largely, the editions resorted to silencing the mass killing of Jews in Galicia. Ukrainian newspapers presented the Jewish Question in light of the official Nazi propaganda, corollary to the Jewish world conspiracy.”

Boykowich and his colleague surveyed files on Chomiak in the Province of Alberta's Ukraine Archival Records, discovering details of his role as editor. The files noted that Chomiak edited the paper first in Krakow, then in Vienna, Austria, where he fled from Poland with his Nazi colleagues as the Soviets advanced there.

“I don’t think it’s a secret. American officials have publicly said, and even (German Chancellor) Angela Merkel has publicly said, that there were efforts on the Russian side to destabilize Western democracies, and I think it shouldn’t come as a surprise if these same efforts were used against Canada,” she said.

At the conference, she evaded questions about her grandfather being a Nazi collaborator.

What perhaps is most befuddling, however, is the fact that, over the years, Freeland has touted the narrative that her grandfather was a political refugee from Soviet-occupied Ukraine, describing him as simply a “journalist and lawyer” before World War II. According to a report by Canada's The Globe and Mail, Freeland knew about her father's Nazi connections and position at the newspaper.

Boykowich confirmed through his archival research that Chomiak harbored the same politics even after he arrived in Canada.

“He read (other Nazi papers), fascist ones that had anti-Semitic columns,” he told teleSUR.

Conservatives in Canada have come to Freeland's defense, parroting her Russian propaganda line.

“It is unacceptable. It seems they are trying smear a minister with historical detail that has probably been misrepresented,” Conservative foreign affairs critic Peter Kent said, as reported by The Globe and Mail. “It is unfair and it is typical of what we have seen in other countries and it has nothing to do with her ability to represent Canada.”

Ukrainian nationalists in Canada have come to her defense too, also blaming Russia for the information being revealed.

“It is the continued Russian modus operandi that they have. Fake news, disinformation and targeting different individuals,” said Paul Grod, president of the Canadian Ukrainian Congress, a close confidante of Freeland, who has also made statements in the past skeptical of the Holocaust. “It is just so outlandish when you hear some of these allegations — whether they are directed at minister Freeland or others.”

In response to the revelations, a spokesman for the Russian embassy in Ottawa, Kirill Kalinin, denied Russian involvement, adding, “While we cannot deny or confirm particular news stories, it’s our principled position that Nazism and Nazi collaborators, their hateful ideology, that took tens of millions lives, must be unanimously condemned.”

For Boykowich, the reality that the directorate of Canadian foreign policy is supporting the armed forces of a fascist regime, should not be disconnected from Freeland’s family’s history.

“This shows the ideological connection that carries on,” he warned. “Chomiak supported Nazis then, and (Freeland) too is supporting Nazis in Ukraine. The purpose of that support, from Nazi Germany, to the Cold War, to today, is the same: imperial aggression against Russia.”

For those too young to know Joseph Goebbels was the Nazi Propaganda Minister. It is only fitting our commissar's grandfather worked for the cause and she follows their advice to use the free tickets and salaries to burst upon the flock.

My grandfather was wounded fighting the Nazi fascists while in the Canadian army. It's in my blood to keep their ugly head from rising. It's in hers to set up the fourth Reich. Who are you going to trust?
