    "The Media Lied Repeatedly About Officer Brian Sicknick's Death. And They Just Got Caught."

    "Just as with the Russia Bounty debacle, they will never acknowledge what they did. Their audience wants to be lied to for partisan gain and emotional pleasure."

    https://greenwald.substack.com/p/th...Q.bPAaZrcXE74FNcXLA_WxwTsJsS-HjXCytpsxyJpSGQo

    "It was crucial for liberal sectors of the media to invent and disseminate a harrowing lie about how Officer Brian Sicknick died. That is because he is the only one they could claim was killed by pro-Trump protesters at the January 6 riot at the Capitol.

    "So The New York Times on January 8 published an emotionally gut-wrenching but complete fiction that never had any evidence — that Officer Sicknick's skull was savagely bashed in with a fire extinguisher by a pro-Trump mob until he died — and, just like the now-discredited Russian bounty story also unveiled by that same paper, cable outlets and other media platforms repeated this lie over and over in the most emotionally manipulative way possible.

    "But the gruesome story of Sicknick's “murder” was too valuable to allow any questioning. It was weaponized over and over to depict the pro-Trump mob not as just violent but barbaric and murderous, because if Sicknick weren't murdered by them, then nobody was (without Sicknick, the only ones killed were four pro-Trump supporters: two who died of a heart attack, one from an amphetamine overdose, and the other, Ashli Babbitt, who was shot point blank in the neck by Capitol Police despite being unarmed). So crucial was this fairy tale about Sicknick that it made its way into the official record of President Trump's impeachment trial in the Senate, and they had Joe Biden himself recite from the script, even as clear facts mounted proving it was untrue.

    "The first line tells much of the story: 'Capitol Police officer Brian D. Sicknick suffered two strokes and died of natural causes a day after he confronted rioters at the Jan. 6 insurrection, the District’s chief medical examiner has ruled.' Using understatement, the paper added: 'The ruling, released Monday, likely will make it difficult for prosecutors to pursue homicide charges in the officer’s death.'

    "This definitive finding from the medical examiner not only rids us of the Fire Extinguisher lie but also the second theory to which these media outlets resorted once they had to face the reality that they spent weeks spreading an outright lie (needless to say, they provided no real accountability or even acknowledgement for the fact that they did spread that Fire Extinguisher tale, instead just seamlessly moving to their next evidence-free claim). They changed their story to claim that pro-Trump protesters still murdered Sicknick, not with a fire extinguisher but with bear spray, which video shows at least one protester using in his vicinity.

    "What is most depressing about this entire spectacle is that, this time, they exploited the tragic death of a young man to achieve their tawdry goals. They never cared in the slightest about Officer Brian Sicknick. They had just spent months glorifying a protest movement whose core view is that police officers are inherently racist and abusive. He had just become their toy, to be played with and exploited in order to depict the January 6 protest as a murderous orgy carried out by savages so primitive and inhuman that they were willing to fatally bash in the skull of a helpless person or spray them with deadly gases until they choked to death on their own lung fluids. None of it was true, but that did not matter — and it still does not to them — because truth, as always, has nothing to do with their actual function. If anything, truth is an impediment to it."

    The anti-Christ collectivists thought they had another victory; but now, even the rabidly anti-American Washington Post has had to admit the truth:

    "The Propaganda War (Part II)"

    https://www.mixedtimes.com/business/the-propaganda-war-and-how-to-fight-it-part-ii

    ...

    "I’m terribly sorry if this comes as a shock, but there is no 'objective' fantasy-land in which no one is trying to persuade you of anything or pressure you or otherwise influence you to do something. It does not exist, this 'objective' dreamworld, where 'authoritative sources' report 'the facts,' where 'the facts' are 'verified' by 'neutral' 'fact checkers,' where ex-NSA and CIA spooks are hired as commentators by MSNBC and CNN because they care about 'the truth,' where 'science' is immune to manipulation. This fantasy is the alibi of authoritarians, cult leaders, and assorted other control freaks, and the people they have brainwashed into believing in it."

    ...

    "This process (or this negotiation, if you will) is never-ending, and there is no escape from it. Pretending that it isn’t happening — that we are not creating “reality” together with every choice we make — is childish, and is particularly dangerous at a time like this, when a new form of totalitarianism is being rolled out all across the world. This is not the time to retreat into fantasies. As I noted in Part I of this piece, we are in a propaganda war, and we are losing. GloboCap is manufacturing a new 'reality,' a pathologized-totalitarian 'reality.' Either you accept it, and conform to it, or you oppose it. Those are the choices. There are no other choices."

    ...

    "My name is CJ Hopkins. I live in Germany. I am banned from eating at restaurants, traveling by plane and train, attending religious ceremonies, school, cultural events, and otherwise participating in society, because I refuse to convert to the new official ideology. #NewNormal pic.twitter.com/QJlHdKdooM"

    — CJ Hopkins (@CJHopkins_Z23) August 11, 2021

    ...

    "Seriously, think about that for a moment … they have literally implemented a new global “reality.” They have done this primarily with propaganda, much of it visual propaganda, which functions on a primal, instinctual level. They inundated the public with images of disease, hospitals, patients on ventilators, body bags being stacked in death trucks, mass burials, and people dropping dead in the streets. They forced everyone to wear medical-looking masks and to perform an ever-changing series of pointless, paranoid compliance rituals to generate an atmosphere of 'deadly contagion.' Basically, they transformed the entire planet into an inescapable pandemic-theater production in which the terrorized performers are also the audience. They did this mostly with visual propaganda, images and observed behavior. (The nonsense the New Normals robotically recite at us isn’t meant to believed; it is meant to be memorized and repeated verbatim, like religious dogma, or a customer-service-representative’s script.)"

    "Active Duty, Retired Naval Intelligence Members Told They Cannot ‘Disrespect’ Biden Over Afghanistan Debacle"

    https://www.dailywire.com/news/excl...not-disrespect-biden-over-afghanistan-debacle

    "Top leadership at the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) informed active duty and retired service members that they cannot condemn President Joe Biden amid the chaotic — and now deadly — pullout of American troops from Afghanistan.

    "Per the same uniformed personnel policy, ONI members cannot participate in partisan political activity or distribute partisan political literature. An internal ONI member told The Daily Wire that these policies were more relaxed under the Trump administration and recalled retired officers condemning the former President.

    "The email continues to claim that the policy extends to ONI “civilians” as well. These members were specifically directed to avoid 'being too vocal in criticism of, say, the President.'


    "The direction for ONI members to stay silent was delivered on August 23. he directive has not shifted following the death of 13 U.S. service members in a suicide bombing near the Kabul airport."

    ======================

    As far as preppers go, we now observe in the media that more and more, individualism is being downplayed and those matters appertaining to that which is best for the collective are being highlighted. Only media moguls are being given leeway ... so long as they remain politically correct / pro- big government. Collective-think requires that one redistribute one's possessions with the "oppressed masses". Putting back supplies for your family is considered hoarding and thus vile and evil. "You must share!" This is particularly true if you are genetically of European heritage. European culture = oppressor culture.

    "It's the Story of the Century, and the Media Yawn"

    https://www.americanthinker.com/art..._story_of_the_century_and_the_media_yawn.html

    "Never before in human history has a global pandemic resulted in the dismemberment of first-world economies, highly divisive universal vaccine and mask mandates, education-stunting school shutdowns, and the isolation of entire societies to the point of extreme mental health damage.

    "Throughout all this, the media have remained incurious as to how this historic misery happened.

    "Anyone with half a brain cell already knew that a new virus that started within a stone's throw of a biosafety level 4 laboratory in an authoritarian nation likely either leaked or was released from that laboratory. But acknowledging this obvious fact immediately led to expulsion from 'polite' society, or at least from social media.

    "But the fact that Saint Fauci is the director of an organization, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, that provided U.S. funding on "gain of function" research to the tune of nearly $600,000 on several types of coronaviruses at the very lab where the leak happened may well be the biggest story of the last fifty years.

    "Gain of function is shorthand for research that adds a new function to an existing virus, which in this case is the rather inconvenient function of infecting humans. We were literally funding research by our biggest geopolitical rival on how to turn a harmless virus to humans into one that could wreak chaos in human populations. Mission accomplished.

    "That's an earth-shattering story that fully vindicates Senator Rand Paul, who has been at the forefront of this, even as he was lyingly insulted by the guilty Fauci himself.

    "If I submitted a novel manuscript with a supervillain who conspires with his nation's chief rival to do research that causes a global pandemic, and then is tasked with leading the response to this disaster, I would expect publishers to tell me the story is too far-fetched. And yet that is exactly where this story leads.

    "The media also do damage through repetition, another contrast currently on display. The media absolutely destroyed President George W. Bush through nonstop and blatantly unfair attacks on him during Hurricane Katrina. Yet when a mentally challenged Democrat goes on vacation following a similar hurricane, while much of the same state is still without power, the media marvel at his tremendous competence and compassion.

    "For those who were lauding the media for negatively covering the administration's Afghanistan disaster, they really had no choice. The historic incompetence was at such a level that they were forced to do what they hate the most, even if they did it in the kindest way possible. But they raced to turn the page and start the rehabilitation effort vice driving him from office, as would have likely happened to a Republican president under the same horrific self-inflicted circumstances.

    "Returning to the story of the century, do any of the 'mainstream' media outlets not find it rather coincidental that we were conspiring with China to turn a harmless bat virus into one that is lethal to mankind? Does it not seem a little odd that the very man the media have lionized, since he is part of their cultural tribe, as the leader of the U.S. response provided funding to this effort? I'm not a big believer in coincidences, and if this was a coincidence, it is the biggest one of all time.

    "For those who might question that this "nonpolitical" wunderkind is part of their tribe, anybody who says about Hillary Clinton that "we all love her and are very proud to know her" is a leftist to the core.

    "If Fauci was aligned with the right instead of the left, the biggest question we'd likely be contemplating is which prison he would be heading to.

    "Frankly, I don't know if the COVID release was an experiment gone bad or something far more sinister and intentional. But it is always worth considering cui bono, or who stands to benefit, when looking at an issue like this. The greatest beneficiaries of the destruction wrought by COVID (and the overheated response to it that is still paralyzing Western democracies) were China and leftists and globalists worldwide.

    "The release of the virus accomplished a number of objectives. It reversed the damage that the Trump administration was doing to China while resulting in a significant increase in China's comparative power. It resulted in a strong move toward authoritarianism across the globe. And it resulted in the weakest and most compromised American president of my lifetime. Cui bono, indeed.

    "At worst, this is a global conspiracy that rivals any in history. At best, this is the worst cover-up of recent history. The story is the blockbuster of all blockbusters. But Democracy dies in darkness, as the paper that marveled at President Biden's competence and compassion intones, and darkness is what we have at the moment.

    "I've gained a lot of respect for Senator Rand Paul for his commitment to the truth. Here's to hoping a few other politicians buck the cultural power of the left and demand accountability and answers to the biggest questions of recent history. The leftstream media certainly aren't going to do it, but we shouldn't let them bury a story of this magnitude."

    "LAPD Orders Cops To Collect Social Media Data On Every Single Person They Stop"


    https://www.zerohedge.com/political...cial-media-data-every-single-person-they-stop

    "Los Angeles police officers have been directed to collect social media information on every civilian they interview, including people who haven't been arrested or accused of a crime, according to the Guardian, citing leaked records.

    "According to the report, 'field interview cards' used by LAPD officers contain instructions to record a civilian's Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and any other social media accounts - along with basic biographical information. Chief Michael Moore has reportedly told cops to collect the data for use in 'investigations, arrests, and prosecutions,' and has warned officers that the cards will be audited by supervisors to ensure they're filled out completely.

    "Monitoring of social media accounts began in 2015, when the LAPD's interview cards contained a line for social media accounts.

    "'Similar to a nickname or an alias, a person’s online persona or identity used for social media … can be highly beneficial to investigations,' wrote former LAPD Chief, Charlie Beck.

    "According to the LA Times, over half of civilians stopped by LAPD and had their personal details taken were not arrested or cited. Last October, criminal charges were filed against three officers in the LAPD's metro division for using cards to falsely label civilians as gang members once they were stopped."

    the item actually mentions Facebook, Twitter and others by name.
    it has always been accepted by members that forums are probably targeted too.
    Communism occurs when the state becomes more than the people they are supposed to serve.

    I may have already stated this somewhere in this thread; can't remember due to having said this so many times to so many people.

    Anyway, isn't it fascinating that news crews are being attacked and robbed when they go into neighborhoods about which they wish to report. Very recently, a security guard was killed while accompanying/protecting a news crew.

    The very people that the MSM worships are also their attackers. Still, the media continues to make excuses for the raw savagery of these folk. Talk about loony Leftist loyalty!

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...-stations-were-attacked-last-year/ar-BB1g95AX

    "More than 1 in 5 U.S. television newsrooms reported that their journalists were violently attacked last year and even more stations in larger markets reported similar incidents, according to a study conducted by the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) and the Newhouse School at Syracuse University.

    "Some 20.5 percent of TV newsroom leaders surveyed said their staff had been attacked last year, while 39 percent in top-25 markets reported similar incidents.

    "The Western U.S. was the most dangerous region for TV reporters, who were attacked regardless of whether they worked for a CBS, NBC, ABC or Fox affiliated station."

    "Twitter, which dubs itself the arbiter of medical misinformation through its constellation of conflicted 'fact-checkers,' will start imposing penalties on users who claim that vaccinated people can spread Covid-19...

    "...a claim made by none other than the US CDC Director, the NIH, Facui, and countless other officials.

    "In other words, Twitter will penalize people for spreading common medical knowledge about Covid-19."

    "Addictive ‘Brain Hijacking’ Methods of Social Media Platforms Harmful to Users, Especially Children
    : Insider"

    https://www.theepochtimes.com/addic...tml?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=ZeroHedge

    Quotes from the above link in color Blue:

    Addictive “brain hijacking” methods used by social media giants to keep users on their platforms have harmful effects, particularly on children, according to industry insider Rex Lee, who says the companies may be violating child protection laws and consumer protection laws by employing such techniques.


    Lee, who has over 35 years of experience in the tech and telecom industry, recently testified before Congress, speaking to members about some of the deceptive practices used by social media networks—in particular, “brain hijacking.”


    “The first time I’d ever heard of brain hijacking, I thought it was something from a science fiction movie,” he recently told EpochTV’s Crossroads program.


    He said that social media apps, including those developed by Google, Meta, and Bytedance, are intentionally developed to be addictive.


    Part of what makes these platforms addictive is associated with brain hijacking technologies, which involve suggestive and manipulative advertising, he explained.


    Lee, who works in the tech industry for an enterprise app and platform developer, said that he was shocked after coming across an admission in a 2017 Axios interview by Sean Parker, who served as the first president of Facebook.


    In the interview, Parker said that Facebook was intentionally developed using addictive technologies associated with something he described as a “social validation feedback loop.”


    “That in itself is what is at the heart of brain hijacking,” Lee said. “And what that does is that reassures the end user that what they’re posting on the platform is being accepted by a lot of people. In other words, a social validation feedback loop would be associated with a thumbs up, or confetti or emojis, and that sort of thing after they do a post.”


    Lee said these are addictive qualities that developers put into their app and platform designs, which ultimately end up harming the user.


    “Sean Parker actually admitted this during the Axios interview when he said, ‘God only knows what it’s doing to our children’s brains,’” Lee said. “But it’s not only the brains of children, it’s the brains of the end user, whether it’s an adult, teen, child, or business and user.


    “This is why people are checking their smartphones up to 150 times a day.”


    Lee added that Parker expressly told Axios that the feedback loop was “exactly the kind of thing that a hacker like myself would come up with, because you’re exploiting vulnerability in human psychology.”


    Lee has been providing to congressional committees, as well as senators and House members, insider information on how these platforms are developed.


    The cybersecurity and privacy adviser also highlighted the harmful effects these social media platforms have on young teenagers, describing the platforms as “no different than tobacco companies making bubblegum-flavored cigarettes to sell to children.”

    "MSM & The Social Media Matrix"

    https://thephoenixenigma.com/media-social-media-matrix/

    "The concentration of media ownership (also known as media consolidation or media convergence) is a process whereby progressively fewer individuals or organizations control increasing shares of the mass media. Contemporary research demonstrates increasing levels of consolidation, with many media industries already highly concentrated and dominated by a very small number of firms.

    "As of 2018, the largest media conglomerates in terms of revenue rank Comcast, The Walt Disney Company, AT&T, CBS Corporation, and Viacom per Forbes.

    "The social media matrix is the infrastructure and conduit upon which information travels. It is for-profit cutthroat and weaponized. It is deceptive by nature and employs shills, spies, and liars. Because of its potential to influence masses of people, this matrix attracts the worst and promotes their success. In this matrix of individuals, organizations, causes, agendas, political parties, greed, ego, psychopathy, and power, there is so much deceit and second and third-tier agendas as to make your head spin.

    "It is no secret that today, the media matrix inseparably tangles government, Hollywood, and intelligence agencies. It is a multifaceted beast with many goals. In the short term, it pushes agendas and scripts narratives to cover up events and influence public opinion. In the long run, it manages the human herd and tells it what to think and eat, and how to act. Most people are oblivious to the fact that their entertainment is not entertainment at all, but rather carefully engineered social conditioning. And nearly none of them ever stops to ask the obvious question: why the majority of this content on their televisions free? They call it programming for a reason."

    ------------------------------------------------

    People with a prepper attitude have taken the Red pill. Being lulled into complacency has been proven by the history books to be a fatal choice.

    https://www.breitbart.com/entertain...e-will-reclaim-red-pill-from-political-right/

    "A screenwriter for the upcoming The Matrix Resurrections said the meta-movie sequel will reclaim the term “red pill,” saying the phrase was “kidnapped” by the political right.

    "In an interview with The Onion’s The AV Club, co-screenwriters Aleksandar Hemon and David Mitchell explained how the new movie is attuned to the current cultural and political climate.

    “'Things like the Red Pill/Blue Pill trope or meme and how it was kidnapped by the right-wing,' Hemon said. 'The verb ‘to red pill’ and so on. So one thing we were mindful of is how to reclaim that trope. To renew the meaning of Red Pill/Blue Pill.'

    “'To get red pilled' became a popular phrase among conservatives to describe the moment when someone breaks free of the mental control exerted by the establishment media and other left-wing forces. It is a reference to the original 1999 movie The Matrix in which Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) offers Neo (Keanu Reeeves) the choice between taking a red pill or blue pill."

    As concerns the deep-state, the oligarchs, plus their 5th column in the mainstream media:

    "They Don’t Just Lie To Us About Wars. They Lie To Us About Everything."


    https://caityjohnstone.medium.com/t...-they-lie-to-us-about-everything-1b73ff055f82

    "Propaganda isn’t just about manufacturing consent for wars and ridiculous governmental measures we’d never normally accept. That’s what most people think of when they hear that word, but there’s so very, very much more to it than that.

    "The lion’s share of propaganda goes not toward convincing us to accept new agendas of the powerful, but toward keeping us entranced in the status quo dream world which enables the powerful to have power in the first place. Toward normalizing status quo systems and training us to shape ourselves to fit into them like neat little cogs in a well-oiled machine.

    "And it’s not even a grand, monolithic conspiracy in most cases. The giant corporations who indoctrinate us with their advertisements, their Hollywood movies and shows, their apps, their websites and their news media are all naturally incentivized to point us further and further into delusion by the fact that they benefit from the status quo systems which have elevated them to wealth.

    "They don’t just teach us what to believe. They teach us who we are. They give us the frameworks upon which we cast our ambitions and evaluate our success, and we build psychological identities out of those constructs. I am a businessman. I am unemployed. My life is about making money. My life is about disappointing people. I am a success. I am a failure. They invent the test of our adequacy, and they invent the system by which we are graded on that test.

    "These artificial constructs take up such vast portions of our personal psychology that people will live their entire lives completely enslaved to them, making them their entire focus. This enslavement is so pervasive that people will often even take their own lives based on what those made-up constructs tell them about who they are and what they’re worth."

    ---------------------

    Old Gzr's take: We preppers are not followers. Good thing that, otherwise come any SHTF event we'd be toast. Thing is however, we are surrounded by sheeple who gobble-up this field of toxic feed. It is something we must take into consideration, this world of poisoned minds. Can we ever speak openly of our preparations for the coming disasters? Nope.

    What can we do? When we hear others speak and hear people who have the same beliefs as we do, we need to find-out the names of those people. The Borg government is continually monitoring us, after all. Could straight-thinking people be useful allies in future, maybe; certainly not 100%, that's for sure, but nevertheless, true allies are gold. If a person has no security on his 6-o'clock, then he is at dire risk. Humanz iz humanz. Think militarily. Is your perimeter manned by sheeple or by people with a spine?! No perimeter = certain death.

    Me, I am mightily heartened by all of the people who are beginning to stand-up to the control-freaks in society. At least in my own country, I believe now that significant millions of people will negate false-flag efforts of the deep state. If the biden regime starts a foreign war, I do believe that the reactions to it will at least be politically fatal for the collectivists. I see core military fighting forces turning on the D.C. "leadership".

    It delights me to think of Leftists being put alone with the criminal element they have enabled. I'm hoping to see more police leaving their stations. Whenever I see news crews attacked, my heart is filled with cheer. The Left needs a proper education.

    "N.Y. Times: Hillary spy scandal too hard for our readers to understand"


    "‘Paper of record’ explains why it’s ignoring blockbuster story"

    https://www.wnd.com/2022/02/n-y-times-hillary-spy-scandal-tough-readers-understand/

    "A New York Times reporter explained why the paper joined nearly every major media outlet in ignoring the blockbuster special counsel charge that Hillary Clinton's campaign spied on internet traffic at Trump Tower, Donald Trump's New York City apartment and the White House in an effort to frame Trump as a Russia stooge.

    "The accusations filed in motions by special counsel John Durham in his investigation of the Obama administration's Russia probe essentially are too much work for Times readers to digest, wrote Charlie Savage, who covers national security and legal policy issues.

    "Two days after the story broke, Savage said Durham's claims 'tend to involve dense and obscure issues, so dissecting them requires asking readers to expend significant mental energy and time -- raising the question of whether news outlets should even cover such claims.'"

    Even if you hate Donald Trump, at least he is a man. This sycophant chuck todd is not a man. Hopefully, todd-boy will stay in an urban utopia through the time his beloved subhumans take over. Wouldn't it be great to have a video of them partying-down with white-boy todd!

    "MSNBC's Chuck Todd: Voters who believe Putin wouldn't have invaded Ukraine under Trump isn't based on 'logic'"


    https://www.foxnews.com/media/msnbc-chuck-todd-russia-ukraine-biden-trump

    "MSNBC anchor Chuck Todd suggested that voters are wrong to believe that Russian President Vladimir Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if President Trump was still in office.

    "With Russia launching its attacks towards Ukraine, many of President Biden's critics have alleged that such an invasion would not have occurred under the Trump presidency, pointing to the aggression Putin took under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama with the 2008 invasion of Georgia and the 2014 annexation of Crimea while making no similar moves during the past administration. "

    Our MSM is become a whorish shill for the body politic...for the Deep State...not for the benefit of the American People.
    Our MSM is become a very important tool of the Deep State to keep us properly herded and as needed.

    And Americans are catching on and beginning more and more to vote with their remote controllers...against the MSM.

    Some are even beginning to catch on to Fox News.


    Trump was not Deep State....Putin Is not Deep State...and there are others out there who also are not Deep State but are aware of what is going on.

    The UN is Deep State.....NATO is Deep State.....and Biden and his administration are Deep State...
    How do I know this....about the Biden Administration......Deep State?? They are going on two years into the office and their track record is horrible and they are still trying to play the Blame Trump Game to hide their failures while transferring blame...and it will continue.

    Many many of our So called Republican Senators and Representatives are Deep State...be warned of this .....particularly come November when you go into a voting booth and again two more years after that.

    Western Ukraine is a Deep State proxy nation....controlled by the Deep State...and set up so by Hunter Biden. That was his role and purpose in the Ukraine...to solidify Deep State ties in the Ukraine....at the highest levels.


    I am becoming of the Opinion/view that Inflation is a tool used by the Deep State to control nations and peoples...out of their liberties and freedoms....a tool to "Herd" people and nations as needed by hidden and concealed Deep State Players..and for their profit/power.

    I do not believe you will ever hear a News media personality including the famousTucker Carlson of the vaunted Fox News...explain such to the thinking American People....and for their continued education.

    This concept needs to be told to the American People...and in particular as we near Election Time....

    "A CNN talking head declared Sunday that if Elon Musk is allowed to buy Twitter, the platform will have to be government regulated to prevent ‘discourse’ being open and free, and not subject to establishment controlled censorship.

    "While discussing the Musk take-over on CNN’s potato time with Brain Stelter, 'media analyst' David Zurawik proclaimed that Musk is 'dangerous' and shouldn’t be allowed to restore free speech on the platform.

    Zurawik suggested that the U.S. look to Europe, which has recently brought in new laws to limit social media, and even threatened to ban Twitter if Musk doesn’t play ball.

    “'I think we can look to the Western countries in Europe for how they are trying to limit it. But you need controls on this,' the talking slap head continued.

    “'You need regulation. You cannot let these guys control discourse in this country or we are headed to hell,' Zurawik further suggested."

    Comrades must stick together. Must stick to script.

    "New York Times deletes, edits tweet about Weather Underground terrorist Kathy Boudin"


    https://www.foxnews.com/media/new-york-times-deletes-tweet-weather-underground-kathy-boudin

    upload_2022-5-2_15-40-11.png


    "The New York Times quickly deleted a scathing tweet Sunday on the breaking news that Kathy Boudin, a member of the radical militant group Weather Underground, had died, replacing it with softer language.

    "'Kathy Boudin, who as a member of the Weather Underground took part in the murderous 1981 holdup of a Brink’s armored truck, died on Sunday. She was 78,' the initial tweet said.

    "However, within two minutes, the tweet was deleted and replaced with kinder words for the convict who spent decades in prison following a 1981 armored truck heist that left two police officers and a security guard dead."

    ------------------------------------------------------

    Armed robbery often ends in death. All felons involved in such deadly crimes are guilty of murder. Unless there is something physically wrong with their brain, murderers should be executed.

    Imprisoning terrorists often results in more terrorism in the form of kidnappings. The terrorists seek to exchange hostages for their imprisoned comrades. Terrorists must be executed for this reason and for the sake of Justice.

    In the continuing saga of "Let's burn freedom of speech," the American MSM is all in a tither about the 2022 elections. I'm not going to post quotes from within this piece. I'm just recommending it as an interesting read. Fascinating that a supposedly pro-free-speech newspaper wishes to quash speech it has determined to be "dangerous". Decades ago, 3+, I read an article wherein a Polish immigrant to the U.S. said that he saw more propaganda in U.S. media than he had experienced back in Poland under Soviet occupation. Wow!, I thought. In subsequent decades, the U.S. MSM has totally come out of the closet as a 5th column for the socialist cause. Non-political stories are these days turned political. There is a vitriol in their stories betraying not only bias, but also overt anger, even a war-like stance. Sick stuff, this. It is a statement of the decay of civil behavior. It is a symptom of the end of Western Civilization. And, pneumonia begins as a dry cough.

    "Twitter Just Fine With Assassination Threats Against Justice Clarence Thomas"

    https://www.zerohedge.com/political...ation-threats-against-justice-clarence-thomas

    "While Twitter routinely bans conservatives, those who challenge the government-sanctioned Covid-19 narrative, or the results of the 2020 US election, threatening to assassinate a Supreme Court justice is just fine.

    "'I'm going to assassinate supreme court justice Clarence Thomas,' tweeted user @redfrnn after Friday's Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.

    "Upon reporting the tweet, Twitter said it didn't break the rules.

    "Twitter finally took the tweet down, and it appears that the user deactivated their own account, as opposed to a Twitter suspension.

    "Meanwhile, an account posting Justice Brett Kavanaugh's home address is still active."

    "Nolte: CNN Finally Reports on Hunter’s Laptop It Once Called ‘Breitbart Rabbit Hole’"

    https://www.breitbart.com/the-media...ers-laptop-once-called-breitbart-rabbit-hole/

    "More than 18 months after describing Hunter Biden’s laptop as a 'Breitbart rabbit hole,' far-left CNN has begun to report on it.

    "Yes, when you absolutely, positively need your news more than a year later, you can always count on CNNLOL.

    "Here’s the former, disgraced, and then-CNN chief Jeff Zucker in late 2020 explaining why his fake news network refused to cover and outright buried a legitimate and explosive story about the Biden family’s jaw-dropping corruption:

    "'I do think, on the Breitbart, New York Post, Fox News rabbit hole of Hunter Biden which I don’t think anybody outside of that world understood. Last night, the Wall Street Journal reported that their review of all corporate records, showed no role for Joe Biden on the Chinese deal. And yes, I do put more credibility in the Wall Street Journal than I do in The New York Post.'

    "Oh, but now that Biden is damaged goods… Now that the left wants Biden not to seek reelection… Now the Breitbart rabbit hole is not so much of a rabbit hole.

    "Now that the Breitbart rabbit hole is useful to the left in holding on to the presidency in 2024 with a different nominee than Biden, CNNLOL is all up in that rabbit hole reporting on the laptop."

    ----------------------------------------

    Is Breitbart News biased? Sure enough. So what's the difference? Breitbart comes out and says that they are conservative. You'll read the Left saying that they are unbiased. To people who've raised kids this sounds a whole lot like, "No! I didn't get into the cookie jar!"

    upload_2022-7-29_19-3-32.png

    Are conservative news sites reactionary? Often they are. Why? Because it is on them to undo the propaganda, un-spin the spins. I like conservative commentaries. At least they have a sense of humor. The Left has little or no sense of humor. Indeed, these folk are often neurotic to the max or are overtly suffering from depression.

    With today's media, you gotta double-check stories. I find that the best thing to do when reading about an event is to go to the local news where the event happened. Oftentimes, they will report what was seen and heard by the locals. Sometimes you'll get a video or photographs that are not shown in the national news or has been actively suppressed by the national news.

    Me, I just want the details when reading about an event. It infuriates me to read the following, "This is what you need to know." :mad::mad::mad: Just tell me what happened, then I will do the analysis. I read or watch news reporters and witness a person who is intellectually inferior to the task of making true sense of that which has happened.

    If I want opinions, I'll read the commentaries.

    If you are a prepper, then you are the enemy of the collective.

    "How survivalist leaders present a toxic danger"

    https://www.businessthink.unsw.edu.au/articles/how-survivalist-leaders-present-a-toxic-danger

    "A capacity for self-preservation is a threat to everyone else

    "Survivors are one thing, heroes of actual events or circumstances that would have tested the mettle of most human beings. But survivalists, also known as preppers, are something quite different.

    "They are regular people with jobs and homes who are fearful about the future and are constantly preparing for some cataclysmic event that hasn't happened and hasn't tested them.

    "Survivalists invest in building underground bunkers, hoarding food, clothes, communication devices and weapons that all offer them peace of mind.

    "Chris Jackson, a professor in the school of management at UNSW Business School, has been studying this personality type, and while confirming that in a disaster situation their capacity for self-preservation is certainly high, he has also revealed the threat they pose more widely to the general population in day-to-day situations.

    "Survivalists are growing in number. Fuelled by the availability of 24-hour online news, more and more people are agitated about something, and appear to be getting ready for Armageddon.

    "And the more our faith in the institutions set up to serve and protect us diminishes, the more the collective anxiety rises, and the more likely it is that some of us will take matters into our own hands.

    "The problem, says Jackson, is that survivalists tend to be quite malevolent. They are more likely to be narcissists, disagreeable and manipulative, low in rationality and high in psychopathy. And in the US, they are also more likely to be armed."

    what a load of rubbish, my WW2 parents would today have been called preppers although the word hadnt been invented then, and wife's parents who moved from the city of Leeds to live in an off grid cottage(most country cottages were off grid back then) would have been called survivalists, neither set of parents were in any way aggressive, they just wanted to be left alone to do their own thing and live the way they wanted.
    this Chris Jackson sounds like the aggressive one here.

    "Cop Wrongly Shoots Teen...Whose Skin Color Doesn't Merit National Uproar"

    https://www.zerohedge.com/political...whose-skin-color-doesnt-merit-national-uproar

    "A San Antonio police officer freaked out last weekend, unjustifiably blazing away at a fleeing 17-year-old in a McDonald's parking lot. However, the incident hasn't inspired protests, grave statements from national politicians, or a cable news and social media uproar -- apparently because the 17-year old wasn't black.

    "Video captured by Brennand's badge camera shows him calling for backup, but then proceeding alone to the car. Without first addressing the driver, Brennand abruptly opens the driver door, revealing 17-year-old Erik Cantu eating a burger.[!!!!! :eek: emphasis Old Gzr] When he orders Cantu to get out of the car, Cantu backs the car up.

    "While the open car door apparently bumped Brennand, video shows Brennand firing five shots after Cantu's car is already well clear of him and no threat to his safety. After yelling 'shots fired!' three times into his radio, he unloads another five rounds as Cantu drives off.

    "Miraculously, a 17-year-old female in the car wasn't injured, but Cantu was hit multiple times and was hospitalized. Police found no guns on him or in the vehicle.

    "Though Brennand is apparently white and Cantu Hispanic, there's been no major media presumption that their differing skin shades factored into Brennand's reckless conduct. Of course, barring evidence of ethnic animus, that's exactly how it should be.

    "Had Cantu been black, however, it's safe to say racism would have been assumed, and the San Antonio McDonald's might now be a smoldering husk...like the Wendy's in Atlanta where Rayshard Brooks was fatally shot by police after he grabbed an officer's taser and fired it as he resisted arrest in 2020.

    "Excessive police force should be universally condemned regardless of the races and ethnicities of the people involved in an incident. Yet, there are many examples of undue police violence against white people that go largely ignored.

    "Meanwhile, when race is a forced centerpiece of discussion when black people are involved, citizens are diverted from a reasoned evaluation of what actually happened.

    "Worse, by nudging people into debates over the extent to which race is a factor, presumptions of racial animus inhibit more widespread consideration of practical police reforms -- like Rand Paul's proposed ban on no-knock warrants in the wake of Breonna Taylor's death -- that could benefit civilians of all colors."

    "Judge Blocks Biden Admin’s Attempt to Shield FBI Official from Deposition on Social-Media Censorship"

    https://news.yahoo.com/judge-blocks-biden-admin-attempt-001300954.html

    "An FBI official will be deposed in a lawsuit over alleged collusion between the Biden administration and social-media companies to censor speech on topics ranging from Hunter Biden’s laptop to Covid-19, a judge ruled Monday.

    "The ruling comes in response to a lawsuit by Missouri attorney general Eric Schmitt and Louisiana attorney general Jeff Landry accusing the federal government of working 'hand-in-hand with social media companies to censor freedom of speech on their platforms.' The lawsuit has grown to include 67 defendants, including top officials at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the White House, and others.

    "Last month, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana granted the two states’ request for depositions from several top-ranking governmental officials, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, former White House press secretary Jen Psaki, director of White House digital strategy Rob Flaherty, surgeon general Vivek Murthy, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency director Jen Easterly, and FBI supervisory special agent Elvis Chan.

    "Lawyers for the Biden administration sought to block several of the depositions, including Chan’s. The lawyers noted that Meta, Facebook’s parent company, has said that Chan, an assistant special agent in charge (ASAC), did not advise the company to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story.

    "The complaint adds that a 'veritable army of federal bureaucrats are involved in censorship activities ‘across the federal enterprise,' adding that CISA Director Easterly and Matthew Masterson 'complained in text messages that ‘chaos’ would result if all federal officials were ‘independently’ contacting social-media platforms about so-called misinformation. . . . On information and belief, as alleged above, the ‘Disinformation Governance Board’ was created to impose a bureaucratic structure on the enormous censorship activities already occurring involving dozens of federal officials and many federal agencies.'”

    Seems the media magnates are getting honest about their dishonesty.

    "'Objectivity Has Got To Go': News Leaders Call for the End of Objective Journalism"

    https://jonathanturley.org/2023/02/...leaders-call-for-end-of-objective-journalism/

    "We previously discussed the movement in journalism schools to get rid of principles of objectivity in journalism. Advocacy journalism is the new touchstone in the media even as polls show that trust in the media is plummeting. Now, former executive editor for The Washington Post Leonard Downie Jr. and former CBS News President Andrew Heyward have released the results of their interviews with over 75 media leaders and concluded that objectivity is now considered reactionary and even harmful. Emilio Garcia-Ruiz, editor-in-chief at the San Francisco Chronicle said it plainly: 'Objectivity has got to go.'

    "We have been discussing the rise of advocacy journalism and the rejection of objectivity in journalism schools. Writers, editors, commentators, and academics have embraced rising calls for censorship and speech controls, including President-elect Joe Biden and his key advisers. This movement includes academics rejecting the very concept of objectivity in journalism in favor of open advocacy.

    "Columbia Journalism Dean and New Yorker writer Steve Coll decried how the First Amendment right to freedom of speech was being 'weaponized' to protect disinformation. In an interview with The Stanford Daily, Stanford journalism professor, Ted Glasser, insisted that journalism needed to 'free itself from this notion of objectivity to develop a sense of social justice.' He rejected the notion that journalism is based on objectivity and said that he views 'journalists as activists because journalism at its best — and indeed history at its best — is all about morality.' Thus, 'Journalists need to be overt and candid advocates for social justice, and it’s hard to do that under the constraints of objectivity.'

    "Polls show trust in the media at an all-time low with less than 20 percent of citizens trusting television or print media. Yet, reporters and academics continue to destroy the core principles that sustain journalism and ultimately the role of a free press in our society. Notably, writers who have been repeatedly charged with false or misleading columns are some of the greatest advocates for dropping objectivity in journalism.

    "There was a time when all journalists shared a common 'identity' as professionals who were able to separate their own bias and values from the reporting of the news.

    "Now, objectivity is virtually synonymous with prejudice. Kathleen Carroll, former executive editor at the Associated Press declared 'It’s objective by whose standard? … That standard seems to be White, educated, and fairly wealthy.'

    "Outlets like NPR are quickly erasing any lines between journalists and advocates. NPR announced that reporters could participate in activities that advocate for 'freedom and dignity of human beings' on social media and in real life."

    -----------------------------------------------------

    Old Gzr: If you go around presenting the actual numbers, provide videos of what actually happened, quote activists when they openly call for blood, then you are a white oppressor. If you are a minority and dare tell the truth, then you are an Uncle Tom, a shoe-shine boy for whites and capitalism. There is only one correct way of thinking and that is defined by your Socialist betters. We must one and all kneel before Big Brother.

    "Bill Gates: AI Can Help Solve ‘Digital Misinformation’ Problem"

    https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2023...an-help-solve-digital-misinformation-problem/

    "Microsoft founder and billionaire Bill Gates said AI should be considered as a tool to combat 'digital misinformation' and 'political polarization' in an interview published on Thursday with Handelsblatt, a German news media outlet.

    "Gates added, 'You’ll have to take AI into consideration' to 'solve the digital misinformation [problem].' He described 'political polarization' as another social ill that could be partially remedied via the use of AI to reduce 'confirmation bias.'

    "Gates framed 'climate change' as an existential threat to humanity while calling for government measures to force reductions and eventual elimination of fossil fuel consumption and associated carbon dioxide emissions.

    “'It’s not optional to have a solution for climate,' he held, adding that carbon dioxide emissions must be brought 'to zero' via 'clean energy' and 'green energy' substitutes."

    "Bill Gates claims his private jet habit ‘not part of’ climate problem"

    https://nypost.com/2023/02/09/bill-gates-defends-private-jet-habit-despite-climate-activism/

    "Billionaire Bill Gates defended his habit of using private jets for personal travel despite being one of the world’s most vocal climate activists — testily denying that he is 'part of the problem' when it comes to climate change.

    "The Microsoft co-founder grew visibly irritated when confronted on the topic during a lengthy interview last week with BBC journalist Amol Rajan.

    “'What do you say to the charge that if you are a climate change campaigner, but you also travel around the world in a private jet, you’re a hypocrite?' Rajan asked.

    “'By the gold standard of funding Climeworks to do direct air capture that far exceeds my family’s carbon footprint, and I spend billions of dollars on climate innovation. So, you know, should I stay at home and not come to Kenya and learn about farming and malaria?' an annoyed Gates responded."

    ==============================================================

    Old Gzr: There is no other way to get to Kenya accept by private aircraft! God Gates must therefore use his private aircraft.

    "Disinformation ‘Expert’ Danny Rogers: Use Congress to Regulate Big Tech to Relegate ‘Trumpism’ to an Aberration of History"

    "Dr. Daniel Rogers, the cofounder and executive director of the Global Disinformation Index (GDI), wrote an op-ed for Time magazine calling for sweeping tech reforms to block President Donald Trump or “someone like him” from getting elected.

    "Breitbart News reported on Rogers’ claim during a February 2022 presentation to Princeton University students that supporters of Trump cannot be deprogrammed from alleged disinformation. He also bashed Breitbart News’s coverage of immigrant crime as inciting 'anti-immigrant violence.' To Rogers, accurate news coverage is 'violence.'

    "In Rogers’ op-ed, he contended that the 'key' to Donald Trump’s 'rise to power' was 'online disinformation'

    "Rogers said that Congress has to update the 'rules that govern the manipulation of our information environment in order to prevent another nihilistic narcissist gaining power.' He said that, to combat disinformation, GDI has partnered with tech companies, governments, and other advocacy groups.

    "He concluded in his op-ed, 'But since most of the companies affected are American, right now the most powerful levers to combat disinformation lay in the hands of Congress — it’s time to pull them and relegate Trumpism to the ‘aberration’ Justice Ginsberg predicted it would be.'”

    "Could Prepping Become Illegal Here Too? Venezuelan Govt to Detain 'Hoarders'”

    https://www.theorganicprepper.com/c...-here-too-venezuelan-govt-to-detain-hoarders/

    "As people who spend a lot of time focusing on preparedness, we can learn a lot about our future by watching as the economies and civilizations of other Western countries crumble.

    "Today’s lesson is that when times get tough, the government can and will persecute those who have planned ahead.

    "The Attorney General of Venezuela, Luisa Ortega Díaz, called on prosecutors to target people who are “hoarding” basic staples with serious sanctions.

    "She called on prosecutors to seek their detention.

    "The attorney general called on people to remain calm, not to fall for provocations, and not to be afraid of the “alleged” food shortage.

    "Based on the figures provided by the Central Bank of Venezuela, shortage hit 20% in August; in other words, 20 out 100 items are missing from the shelves.

    "According to a press release, the Attorney General Office has designated an ad hoc group of prosecutors to work nationwide with other authorities and cope with the threats against food security and, consequently, against the State. (source).

    "That guy you hear yelling “I warned you!” is George Orwell from the beyond. This as the Biden administration announced the establishment of a “Disinformation Board,” which is nothing less than a “Ministry of Truth,” a concept featured in Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984.”

    "For the Democrats, it seems they consider Orwell’s masterpiece not as the warning against fascism as he meant it but as a template for what’s to become.

    "His novel’s “Ministry of Truth” was charged in part with making sure public discussion conformed with party narrative. We’re now told Biden’s new “Disinformation Board,” a unit within the massive national security apparatus of the Department of Homeland Security, is to combat “misinformation” and “disinformation.” In other words, opinions, facts, investigations, and journalism threatening the Marxist and woke Democratic Party agenda.

    "This new board confirms exactly how much they relied on Twitter and the platform’s willingness to smash and silence anyone who dared to challenge the status quo. No doubt, they now hope that using federal law enforcement will be the new mechanism with which they can intimidate the media to comply with the suppression of information they decide is threatening to their stranglehold on power.

    "There’s been much discussion about the woman already appointed to head this monstrosity. But think about: What kind of person would be willing to lead a commission meant to control speech by punishing and silencing offenders? Of course, she’s a menace, anyone leading it would be. What our focus must be on is rejecting the premise itself as inherently un-American and wholly unconstitutional.

    "These are the same people who told us the Hunter Biden laptop was a fraud and product of Russian disinformation. We now know that was a lie. They tell us there are 57 genders, and if you contradict that, you will be canceled from society. They used social media and Big Tech to insist that the COVID-19 vaccine would 'stop the virus,' which was false. Those who challenged the notion that cloth masks could 'stop the virus,' now acknowledged as not true, were censored, smeared, and cancelled. They still insist the southern border is closed, and the economy is just fine."

    Sure!

    Soon however, we will only be able to think like a prepper. To act like a prepper, we'll have to do so in a fashion even more private than now (cash only, or barter). We will not be able to speak publicly, nor online. Prepper sites will be shut down. Anything about buying in quantity will be suppressed or the contributors followed. Indeed, I figure that I'm being monitored right now.

    Me, I'm old and finished, so if they want to waste their funding tracking me, great. Maybe my existence can help keep them from following someone who could be an actual danger to totalitarianism / god government / globalist rule. Anyone cooperating with the deep state is a person who has burned the U.S. Constitution and by their actions have urinated on the graves of those who gave all to protect Sacred Liberty.

    the only place I ever discuss prepper theories is here and on other prepper forums, no where else, and nowhere in public, I try not to discuss personal actions just theories about how to survive the coming societal collapse.
    all forums, prepping and otherwise, I am sure are under constant surveillance which is why we should keep posts general in nature and not comment on specific actions until the collapse comes and WROL applies.
    we must keep within our national laws as long as those laws apply and not contemplate anything which might be considered illegal when viewed by the security services of our respective countries, any infringement could see sites like this banned and shut down.
    which makes all the Woke stuff on the news and in national newspapers all the more concerning, I see this morning a piece ( in the Daily Mail) saying the works of Shakespeare and even Michael Portillo's Railway Journey's or Ray Mears Bushcraft books are being classified as Right Wing "extremism" under the UK "Prevent" Scheme, the world really has gone nuts!

    "The US Could Use Some Separation Of Media And State"

    https://caityjohnstone.medium.com/the-us-could-use-some-separation-of-media-and-state-ec0667edb2eb

    Begin quote

    The US State Department’s spokesperson Ned Price is being replaced by a man named Matthew Miller. Like Price, Miller has had extensive prior involvement in both the US government and the mass media; Price is a former CIA officer and Obama administration National Security Council staffer who for years worked as an NBC News analyst, while Miller has previously had roles in both the Obama and Biden administrations and spent years as an analyst for MSNBC.

    Like every high-level government spokesperson, Miller’s job will be to spin the nefarious things the US empire does in a positive light and deflect inconvenient questions with weasel-worded non-answers. Which also happens to be essentially the same job as the propagandists in the mainstream media.

    In journalism school you are taught that there’s supposed to be a sharp line between government and the press; journalists are meant to hold the government to account, and there’s an obvious conflict of interest there if they’re also friends with government officials or are looking to the government as a potential future employer. But at the highest levels of the world’s most powerful government and the world’s most influential media platforms the line between media and state is effectively nonexistent; people flow seamlessly between roles in the media and roles in the government depending on who’s in office.

    We see this indistinctness between government and media with White House press secretaries even more clearly. The current press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is a former analyst for NBC News and MSNBC, and the last press secretary Jen Psaki now has her own show on MSNBC. Prior to her stint as White House press secretary Psaki worked as a CNN analyst, and before that she was a spokesperson for the State Department like Price and Miller.

    Without any clear lines between the media and the state, US media are not meaningfully different from the state media the west spends so much energy decrying in “tyrannical regimes” like Russia and China. The only difference is that in Tyrannical Regimes the government controls the media, while in Free Democracies the government is the media.

    All this while state propaganda outlet NPR continues its ongoing tantrum about Twitter accurately labeling its account “Government Funded”, an upgrade from its also-accurate previous designation as “US state-affiliated media”. NPR has now officially rage-quit Twitter in objection to the label on the basis that “the platform is taking actions that undermine our credibility by falsely implying that we are not editorially independent,” which is hilarious because NPR has no credibility to undermine.

    As we discussed recently, NPR receives funding from the US government, consistently promotes the information interests of the US government, and is run by the former CEO of the US government’s foreign propaganda network US Agency for Global Media. It doesn’t even deserve the label “Government Funded”; it should have the exact same labels as Russian and Chinese state media, because it is not meaningfully different from them.

    It seems a safe bet that the US would be a completely different country if separation of media and state and separation of corporation and state were enshrined like the separation of church and state is.

    The only reason Americans consent to the freakish status quo of their government which impoverishes and oppresses people at home while bombing and starving people abroad is because their consent has been manufactured by a media class that is not meaningfully separate from the government. Place the press in their proper place as oppositional scrutinizers of government behavior, and the dynamics underlying the nation’s problems would no longer be hidden from the public.

    If you and other white guys get together and arm yourselves with semi-automatic rifles to protect your community, the communist media will call you white vigilantes carrying "assault rifles".

    If you are your crew are black and are carrying "assault rifles", then it is OK. Plus, the anti-American media will NOT use the term "assault rifles", you guys are only carrying "long rifles".

    To the Left, police are the bad guys. In the following story you will note that the Black Panthers are lauded for their having protected the black community from the oppressor police.

    Anti-white, anti-Christian, bigotry in the mainstream media is now front and center. This is war.

    "Armed with rifles, a ‘mudroots’ Detroit group wards off crime"

    "Far from being threatening, New Era Detroit’s open display of guns — broadly legal in Michigan — is being hailed by many people for protecting Black women in dangerous neighborhoods at night."

    https://news.yahoo.com/armed-with-rifles-a-mudroots-detroit-group-new-era-crime-182026014.html

    "On the eve of Black History Month this year, a community group based in Detroit went viral after sharing clips on social media of its members, many dressed in all-black and armed with long rifles, assisting women around the city by pumping gas into their vehicles and loading groceries into their cars.

    "The group’s open display of guns — broadly legal in Michigan — was greeted by many people not for being threatening but for protecting Black women in dangerous neighborhoods at night.

    "Many people liken Williams’s New Era Detroit to the original Black Panther Party, which grew out of the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Founded by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale in Oakland, Calif., in 1966, its intent was for Black residents to act as vigilantes in their own communities. As they evolved, the Panthers began to arm themselves, in a show of force, often dressed in a uniform of blue shirts, black pants, black leather jackets and black berets. However, unlike the Detroit organization, which seeks primarily to address issues like crime in its own community, the Black Panthers sought to protect Black residents from instances of police brutality.

    “ 'The Panthers were really focused on potential police violence toward people in the community,' the journalist Mark Whitaker, author of 'Saying It Loud: 1966 — The Year Black Power Challenged the Civil Rights Movement,' told Yahoo News. 'New Era are just as concerned about the danger that ordinary, law-abiding citizens in the inner city face from other Black folks who might do them harm. … So for young people to help protect other people in the community, I think it's wonderful to see.' "

    "Democrat Bill Will Create ‘Fake News Prisons’ for Users Who Spread ‘Misinformation’ Online"

    https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/democrat...s-for-users-who-spread-misinformation-online/

    "A new Democrat law will see the creation of ‘fake news prisons’ for U.S. citizens who are found guilty of reading and spreading ‘fake news’ online

    "The bill was brought forth by Democrat Senator Michael Bennet and is dubbed the Digital Platform Commission Act (DPCA).

    "The move to outlaw non-mainstream views in America comes after the WEF ordered governments around the world to ban all independent media online and make it illegal for users to read non-mainstream news sources.

    "As Reclaim the Net noted on Twitter, the bill would 'empower a new federal agency to create a council that establishes ‘enforceable behavioral codes’ on social media platforms and AI. The council will include ‘disinformation’ experts.'

    "The bill currently lacks specific safeguards to protect free speech and ensure that regulations implemented by the commission do not unduly infringe upon individuals’ constitutional rights. Instead, it relies upon government-appointed “experts” who would doubtless act to police state-approved narratives and policies. Without robust protections for free expression, there is a risk of chilling effects on online discourse, as well as stifling innovation and creativity.

    "The Twitter Files, meanwhile, continue to document the many abuses of free speech committed by the 'misinformation' and 'hate speech' moderators at Big Tech companies.

    "This is the kind of special privilege for ‘experts’ that has Americans justifiably suspect about double standards and political bias.

    "In summary, the U.S. government cannot be entrusted to police the Internet for 'misinformation.' As Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has pointed out, 'The largest area of misinformation is coming from the government.' ”

    Christianity is not in keeping with the World Collective's mandated Secular Humanist religion. Oddly, it seems Secular Humanism has more dogmas than most all world religions. And oh by the way, Secular Humanism is practiced dogmatically by the Left. I've caught much more anger challenging the canon of Secular Humanism, than I've ever caught by challenging Christian dogma. The Left is mean and vindictive; witness Antifa, BLM, the looting, the destruction, the arson, the beating of anyone who gets in their way.

    "Facebook Bans All Christian Content, Labels Jesus ‘Fake News’"


    https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/facebook-bans-all-christian-content-labels-jesus-fake-news/

    "Facebook has announced that it will no longer allow Christian content to be posted to the platform and has begun adding a ‘fake news’ warning label to posts about Jesus Christ.

    "According to Blaze journalist Billy Hallowell, when he went to test out the new rules he was given a ‘hate speech’ warning by Facebook.

    "Hallowell, a Christian, attempted to exercise his religion freedom by posting the following message on his Facebook page: “Jesus died so you could live.”

    "When Hallowell attempted to appeal to Facebook, they wrote back confirming that Christianity and Jesus now goes against their community guidelines."

    Censorship of Christian Content on the Rise on Facebook

    https://hungarytoday.hu/censorship-of-christian-content-on-the-rise-on-facebook/

    "There is growing suspicion that big players in social media are deliberately being restrictive of Christian content, with examples affecting Hungary, Mandiner, a Hungarian news site reports.

    "This time, the case involves the Ecumenical Council of Churches in Hungary, whose president reported that Facebook does not allow their organization to advertise. Vilmos Fischl told the public broadcaster’s M5 channel that Facebook had justified the ban by saying that the evangelical content that the organization wanted to promote 'did not correspond to the spirit of the advertising platform.'

    "The pastor [László Köntös] has experienced Facebook’s censorship of Christians first-hand. Of all the authors who had published on RePoszt, his was the only one who was not allowed to be promoted on the formerly active Reformed blog, and Facebook did not answer why. According to László Köntös, 'while the Western mainstream liberal lobby is going on about ‘values’, ‘publicity’ and ‘freedoms’ from one side, it is easy to make it possible for one of the most effective social media platforms, which influences millions of people, to block the advertisements of an official church organization'."

    "On Nov. 16, 2022, Facebook user Lib Grimmett posted an image with words from a popular verse often shared by people of the Christian faith. 'Be still, and know that I am God,' read the Bible verse from the book of Psalms. Oddly, however, Grimmett's post was displayed with a label that said, 'Sensitive content. This photo may show violent or graphic content.' The label remained visible as of Nov. 21."

    "Netanyahu Demands Answers from CNN, NYT, AP, Reuters, on Embedded Hamas Photographers"

    https://www.breitbart.com/the-media...t-ap-reuters-on-embedded-hamas-photographers/

    Begin quote

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration is demanding answers from several prominent news agencies after criticism emerged of their photographers appearing to have been embedded with Hamas terrorists during the October 7 attack.

    The pro-Israel media watchdog organization brought up ethical concerns Wednesday, noting that media photographers seemed to have known about the attack and were quite at ease among the terrorists, who were shooting every other civilian they found.

    Later, photographs emerged of one of the photographers posing for selfies with the local Hamas leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar.

    In a statement, the National Public Diplomacy Directorate of the Prime Ministers’s Office demanded action by news agencies:


    The National Public Diplomacy Directorate in the Prime Minister’s Office views with utmost gravity that photojournalists working with international media joined in covering the brutal acts of murder perpetrated by Hamas terrorists on Saturday October 7th in the communities adjacent to the Gaza Strip.

    These journalists were accomplices in crimes against humanity; their actions were contrary to professional ethics.

    Overnight the Government Press Office issued an urgent letter to the bureau chiefs of the media organizations that employed these photographers and sought clarifications on the matter.

    The National Public Diplomacy Directorate demands that immediate action be taken.


    Israel’s Government Press Office (GPO), which regulates press access in Israel, also issued a statement demanding explanations:

    GPO Director Nitzan Chen demands explanations from the bureau chiefs of AP, Reuters, CNN and The New York Times regarding the disturbing findings in the Honest Reporting report on the involvement of their photographers in the events of October 7th, which crosses every red line, professional and moral.

    Four photographers who work for these networks documented the horrors perpetrated by the Hamas terrorists after they broke through border fence with Israel. They filmed the murder of civilians, the abuse of bodies and the abduction of men and women.

    Here is some good news concerning the health of the communist media:

    "Los Angeles Times to lay off 20% of newsroom, one of the largest staff reductions in paper’s history"

    https://apnews.com/article/los-angeles-times-layoff-notices-cb02a2f28c2794f096a3e416f3cad71b

    Begin quote

    LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Times said it planned to lay off at least 115 employees — more than 20% of the newsroom — starting Tuesday, one of the largest staff cuts in the newspaper’s 143-year history.

    The announcement came after the LA Times Guild walked off the job last Friday to protest the imminent layoffs, the institution’s first ever newsroom union work stoppage.

    Matt Pearce, president of the Media Guild of the West, which encompasses the Times’ union, called Tuesday a “dark day.” He said at least 94 union members would be let go.

    Layoffs and buyouts have hit a wide swath of the news industry over the past year. The Washington Post, NPR, CNN and Vox Media are among the many companies hit.

    An estimated 2,681 news industry jobs were lost through the end of November, according to the employment firm of Challenger, Gray and Christmas. That was more than the full years of 2022 and 2021.

    Editorial:

    "Nolte: Fascist NYT’s Witch Hunt to Punish Gaza Leaker Continues"

    John Nolte; 12 Apr 2024

    https://www.breitbart.com/the-media...nyts-witch-hunt-punish-gaza-leaker-continues/

    Begin quote

    The same disgraced New York Times that published a straight-up lie about Israel bombing a hospital in Gaza is the same New York Times that killed an internal podcast meant to expose the sexual violence and sexual terrorism the savages in Hamas used against Israeli civilians during the October 7 terror attack.

    After some hero leaked the news that these crucial facts were removed from a Times podcast called The Daily, the far-left outlet launched a witch hunt to root out the leaker or leakers.

    Breitbart News first reported on this Nixonian witch hunt six weeks ago. Today, the Wall Street Journal reported that not only is the witch hunt ongoing and intensifying, but the oh-so progressive Times is using the witch hunt for the same reason all fascists use witch hunts: to terrify people into not exposing the truth [emphasis mine]

    No one dipped into the process “in the middle.” The podcast exposing how Hamas sexually degraded Israeli women was scheduled to air in January. The leak didn’t go public until the end of February. This liar, Joe Kahn, wants to gaslight us into believing an ongoing story was interfered with and that someone leaked this information to manipulate the coverage. That’s simply not true. For obvious reasons, the pro-Hamas Times removed certain facts from a podcast. Period. That wasn’t the “middle” of the “process” that was The End Of The Process. An indefensible and dishonest decision was made, and that was that. So, someone with an actual conscience who cares about truth and the ideal of journalism revealed this act of corruption. This leaker should be applauded, not hunted down like an animal.

    The only people who deserve to be punished are the Times’ editors who hid the facts from that podcast.

    These subscribers do not read the Times to be informed. They read the Times to be comforted that they are right about everything. This has reduced the Times even further into a nakedly fascist outlet hunting down someone who blew the whistle on journalistic corruption.

    "Snopes Changed Fact-Check After Pressure From Biden Administration: Emails"

    https://www.zerohedge.com/political...ck-after-pressure-biden-administration-emails

    Begin quote

    The fact-checking website Snopes changed one of its ratings after pressure from President Joe Biden’s administration, newly disclosed emails show.

    Snopes on Jan. 10, 2023, said that there was some truth to a claim that President Biden’s administration was planning to ban gas stoves.

    Under a heading of “what’s true,” Snopes said that “The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), a federal agency, is currently considering a ban on gas stoves if they can’t be made safer, due to concerns over harmful indoor pollutants that cause health and respiratory problems.”

    Pamela Rucker Springs, a spokeswoman for the CPSC, hours after the rating was published contacted Snopes writer Nur Ibrahim, the newly disclosed emails show.

    She said she it was “not accurate to say that CPSC is ‘considering a ban on gas stoves’ and that Mr. Trumka’s views ”do not represent official statements on behalf of the commission.”

    “We would appreciate a correction to this story,” Ms. Springs said.

    Mr. Ibrahim responded the following day saying Snopes would “correct the article.”

    Snopes then changed the fact-check rating from “mixture” to “false.”

    The CPSC “is not currently considering a ban on gas stoves, though a commissioner said ‘anything is on the table’ if they can’t be made safer,” the updated article states.

    Ms. Springs sent a link to the updated page to White House official Michael Kikukawa, the newly disclosed documents show. “Sent over tough letter to this writer yesterday when the initial claim was rated as ’mixed,'” she wrote.

    “Nice!! So helpful going forward,” Mr. Kikukawa responded.

    Mr. Kikuwaka told Ms. Springs in another email that the White House would be circulating a statement “making clear POTUS does not support banning gas stoves” and sharing social media posts from the commission and Mr. Trumka. “Will also be pushing people your way,” he wrote.
