Big Tech and the Biden White House are just two separate ends of the same data cable. If the White House discovers something it doesn’t think fits the narrative, a polite phone call is made and the offending book or article simply disappears. None dare call it GOVERNMENT CENSORSHIP, but that’s exactly what it is and it is endemic.
Listen here on Soundcloud:
The Left’s “ignorance” of the truth is a feature, not a bug, of their censorship efforts. They WANT wrong information to reign and accurate information to be suppressed. Their ignorance has nothing to do with some innocent lack of enlightenment due to an unintended consequence of suppressing the truth. Their ignorance is actively volitional. This is consistent with their theology. Rom 1:18-20 (NASB) “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of… Read more »
Scott ONLY Congress can declare war. As far as “law fare” goes it is the COPS that FORCE us to comply. I am FOR intelligent cops that QUESTION questionable orders and KNOW the Constitution.
“ONLY Congress can declare war.”
Tell that to the past several Presidential Administrations. NONE of them got the memo.
“I am FOR intelligent cops that QUESTION questionable orders and KNOW the Constitution.” No … That’s one of those things that “sounds good on the surface” like “Black Lives Matter”, until you peel back the veneer and have a look at what lies beneath. In the context of what you’ve said before — You’re for cops that you can sway with your “sovereign citizen” nonsense. That kind of cop doesn’t exist and if he did he wouldn’t be doing his job, he’d be letting you get away with your malarkey. You’ve already demonstrated the truth of this previously. You’ve demonstrated… Read more »
For years, big business and Democrats were at ends. Now, They are In cahoots. The example of the Mob of “Nice business you have there. Shame if something would happen to it.” does apply. That’s the stick. The carrot is this “You scratch my back and I will scratch yours.” It also comes into play. Lessening competition. Allowing to have the best of both publisher and carrier. Behind the scenes funding. Turning a blind eye to shenanigans. Nice to have the government on your side instead of being hostile. And it’s not just social media and suppression. Big Pharma in… Read more »
Allowing to have the best of both publisher and carrier
This is the Sword of Damocles. Do what we want or we will change our tune and say that you are a publisher with all of the restrictions and issues that come with that.
Act like we want, publishing what we want, and we’ll continue to pretend that you are just a carrier.
Information control has always been a vital tool of tyranny. Tyrants always believe they’re doing what’s best and that’s their excuse that excuses every travesty and tragedy they’re responsible for creating. I can’t remember who it was in the Reagan Administration that said “There is nothing worse than a person who goes out to do good … TO you.” Ronnie later paraphrased that as “The scariest words in the English language are — ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.'” The funny thing is, tyrants always gravitate to information control and it never works in the long run.… Read more »
[ print something the government didn’t like and see what happens to your printing press. It might get confiscated by legal machinations, it might coincidentally be destroyed by ‘vandals’ in the middle of the night or it might be consumed when the building it was in ‘accidentally’ burned down. Etc.] For recent examples, see news reports of the fate of Apple Press in Hong Kong, and the publication facilities for the Epoch Times in the same locale. Apple Press was shut down by the HK governor for “spreading lies” and the owner/publisher was imprisoned on trumped up charges. Epoch Times had… Read more »
LOL and … I didn’t even know about those particular incidents but I didn’t need to either. It’s a common historical occurrence that “something happens” to media installations that the government doesn’t like. We seem to be headed that way too, more’s the pity. Even worse, it is the betrayal of us by our own press at root cause. Our own press rather than speaking truth to power has rolled over on its back for a belly scratch from the government. Pretty pathetic, really. But then, this is the government that our own press worked so hard to install so… Read more »
The quote about fooling people is attributed to Abraham Lincoln. Same guy who once, when accused of being two-faced said ” If I had another face, do you think I’d wear this one?”
Love the self effacing humor.
Moral and religious people can govern themselves, everyone else requires force and coercion. Look around at the world today, where you see tyranny and despotism you also find a population that only responds to force. You get the government you deserve. If we abandon traditional religious morality we’ll get what we deserve too. Sometimes a population that only responds to force occurs by design. Iraq’s borders were intentionally designed to encompasses ethnic groups that wouldn’t get along for example. Here in the U.S. our cultural industries are being used to generate the same effects. It’s tempting to say people should… Read more »
If you think that Iraq would have been a peaceful, productive state had the borders only been designated differently … I’m afraid you don’t know very much about the Arab culture. There is also a limit to the fragmentation of geographical space where the law of diminishing returns becomes an issue. If every ethnic group were to be given its own nation there would be an unworkable, useless patchwork of tiny countries to start with which would then be absorbed by the more powerful and aggressive among their neighbors. And you basically end up with the same situation. Different borders… Read more »
