Oct 4, 2024 ~ "Can We Please Finally Dispense with the Ruse of 'Fact-Checking'?" Another debate: Vance and Walz. Again, the 'fact checking' by the moderators is both obnoxious and wrong. They fact checked Vance then cut his mike when he tried to rebut. Ridiculous. [Fake News, Silencing]
Sep 17, 2024 ~ Hillary Clinton says spreaders of 'propaganda' should be criminally charged, "There are Americans engaged this kind of propaganda. And whether they should be civilly or in some cases criminally charged, is something that would be a better deterrence." Recall she is the architect of the entire #RussiaHoax by spreading lies about Trump having ties to a Russian bank [Alfa] via a secret server and bought an entire fake dossier full of lies from an ex MI6 spy, the poison fruit of which occupied the #FakeNews for YEARS! She repeatedly lied about Trump being 'an illegitimate president.' The absolute nerve of her to criticize anyone of spreading 'propaganda' or 'misinformation.' If spreaders of 'propaganda' are ever criminally charged, she should be locked up for 1000 years! [Fake News, Free Speech, Hillary, Loathsome Left, Russia Hoax, Silencing]
Sep 7, 2024 ~ We know Democrats and the left despise free speech. Walz says 1st amendment does not cover 'hate speech.' Harris says "We will hold social media platforms accountable... If you profit off misinformation... if you don't police your platforms, we are going to hold you accountable." Now Robert Reich calls for Musk to be arrested for allowing free speech. "Regulators around the world should threaten Musk with arrest if he doesn't stop disseminating lies and hate on X." Of course they always want to be the ones in charge of defining 'lies and hate.'

Sep 2, 2024 ~ 'ESPN Axes Host Days After She Voiced Opposition To Men Competing In Women’s Sports' ESPN fires Samantha Ponder shortly after she said males don't belong in female sports. #CancelCulture [Cancel Culture, Silencing, Trans, Trans Athletes]
Sep 1, 2024 ~ "Justice, Europe Style: Telegram CEO Pavel Durov Arrested Due to ‘Lack of Moderation‘ on Platform" Incredibly, social media CEOs are starting to get arrested for allowing free speech on their platforms. Very chilling and authoritative. [Cancel Culture, Free Speech, Silencing]
Sep 1, 2024 ~ "Zuckerberg: Biden-Harris ‘Repeatedly Pressured’ Us To Censor Free Speech" Zuck confirms that Biden administration pressured them into censoring Americans, contrary to the 1st Amendment but that they will not let it happen again. "In 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree... I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it. I also think we made some choices that with the benefit of hindsight and new information, we wouldn’t make today. Like I said to our teams at the time, I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards due to pressure from any Administration in either direction — and we’re ready to push back if something like this happens again."

Sep 1, 2024 ~ The Taliban announce women are not allowed to speak in public and also must be entirely covered in public at all times including their face. The Mullahs say, "We assure you that this Islamic law will be of great help in the promotion of virtue and the elimination of vice." [Islam, Silencing]
Aug 18, 2024 ~ 'Thierry Breton's Threat to Elon Musk Seems to Have Backfired' An EU pinhead named Thierry (because of course that's his name) tried to warn @elonmusk to censor X. Musk responded by saying, "Literally fuck your own face!" That's why he's the GOAT. [Free Speech, Silencing]
Aug 9, 2024 ~ 'Brits Are Being Arrested for Social Media Posts Now' Not an exaggeration. They have no free speech like the US. Gov. Tim Walz is jealous of their power and wants to do the same here. "There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation." But there is. [Free Speech, Silencing]
Jun 18, 2024 ~ 'Oregon track and field coach says school district fired him after he advocated for transgender law changes' Lake Oswego high school track & field coach John Parks, who has taken his team to the state championship 3 years in a row was fired after standing up for girls in sports. [Cancel Culture, Silencing, Trans, Trans Athletes]
Jun 9, 2024 ~ 'How Neuropsychology Lost Its Mind' "confronted by far-left activists demanding to transform it based on unfounded accusations of systemic racism." 'Unfounded' AS ALWAYS. "The preamble states that clinical neuropsychology must 'strive to repair historical and contemporary bias' as well as 'structural and systemic oppression.' Practically, our profession’s members should be taught to 'demonstrate awareness of intersectionality' and 'advocate for marginalized and/or minoritized individuals, populations, and perspectives.' The conference even decided to authorize an apology to be written for the field’s alleged complicity in systemic racism." Disagreement was silenced with the usual censorship, accusations and fear based tactics: "The academy’s leadership responded by increasing its moderation of speech on its internal listserv. Soon to follow were insinuations that racism was the real reason for opposition to far-left ideology replacing science and standards. With suppression of online discourse and neuropsychologists self-censoring out of fear of being labeled a racist, the momentum against the guidelines has been effectively squashed."

May 14, 2024 ~ Warren Smith, the teacher who went viral for challenging a student who claimed JK Rowling was 'transphobic' to back it up as a lesson in critical thinking and the Socratic Method was fired. Smith: "I'm not going to say what is right or wrong or which way to think. The whole point is to learn how to think not what to think." But even that is no longer allowed. Its not just dissent of the orthodoxy that is prohibited - it is questioning the dogma itself. We are living under an authoritative theocracy where merely questioning the accepted scriptures is heresy and has severe consequences. Affirmation or silence is required on many issues.

Apr 20, 2024 ~ 'Hillary Cass: I can't travel on public transport any more.'

Apr 6, 2024 ~ 'The Intellectual Wasteland of Our American College Campuses' Lieutenant Colonel Allen West continues to get shouted down and heckled at Universities by left wing children. They call him a 'racist' and 'fascist.' The usual garbage. They always refuse to debate. He need a police escort off campus once because of violent #BLM protesters. "It appears to me, and perhaps you as well, that our American college campuses are becoming intellectual wastelands. Sure, there are awesome students who are getting solid educations in specific fields of study, but for the most part, these campuses are nothing more than illogical, radical indoctrination centers."

Mar 21, 2024 ~ Kyle Rittenhouse tried to speak at the University of Memphis. 100s of #BLM protesters disrupted the event chanting "lock his ass up" and "fuck his ass up", causing Rittenhouse to bail early. The BLM protesters then chased and prevented event attendees from exiting the parking garage. "Police had to intervene to stop the BLM demonstrators from injuring attendees as the activists continued to intimidate people attempting to leave." BLM never changes. Their tactics all involve becoming a violent mob. [BLM, Cancel Culture, College, Free Speech, Loathsome Left, Silencing, Violent Left]
Mar 20, 2024 ~ 'Hospital’s DEI Training Implied Racial Bias Is Killing Black Mothers, Former Nurse Says' Brad McDowell disagreed with the ridiculous and racist messages given in the Meritus Medical Center's DIE training which claimed "that white nurses like me are killing black mothers. I was supposed to internalize this message and somehow apply it to the management of my team." He revealed that the "“course ignored the complex factors that contribute to higher black maternal mortality, including comorbidities, while defining any death from any cause after a year of giving birth as maternal mortality – a logical stretch." He also had to endure the usual DIE poison saying the US was built on "an ideology of White supremacy that justifies policies, practices and structures which result in social arrangements of subordination for groups of color through power and White privilege." For mildly pushing back on this toxic garbage, Dowell predictably was fired. [Cancel Culture, CRT DIE Wokeness, Fake Racism, Health Care, Silencing]
Mar 3, 2024 ~ 'Berkeley Students Violently Shut Down Event Featuring Israeli Attorney' The left is as violent and anti-free speech as ever. They attacked attendees at an event organized by a Jewish student group at UC Berkeley until security decided they could not protect people. The 'protesters' bragged "We are 'combating the lies' by SHUTTING IT DOWN." Ironically, they are the ones who perpetrate lies but no one stops them from doing so because the right actually believes in free speech.

Mar 2, 2024 ~ Adam Rubenstein, 'I Was a Heretic at The New York Times. I did what I was hired to do, and I paid for it." “The fight over Cotton’s op-ed was never about safety, or the facts, or the editing, or even the argument,” @RubensteinAdam writes, “but control of the paper and who had it. In the end, all that mattered was that an example had been made.” Rubenstein related a story from his first week where he mentioned that he liked Chick-fil-A and "The HR representative leading the orientation chided me: 'We don’t do that here. They hate gay people.' People started snapping their fingers in acclamation." He knew that early that it was a cult. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/02/tom-cotton-new-york-times/677546/ [Cancel Culture, CRT DIE Wokeness, Fake Homophobia, Fake News, Free Speech, Silencing]
Feb 13, 2024 ~ Jo Nova, 'Mark Steyn ordered to pay $1 million to deter climate deniers from criticizing sacred scientists' "Michael Mann’s hockeystick graph was wildly different from hundreds of studies of other studies and instantly became the pet graph of the IPCC. It used the wrong proxy, the wrong tree, and the wrong type of averaging. Whole books were written on how bad it was. But when Mark Steyn called it fraudulent Mann sued."

Feb 11, 2024 ~ Glassbrook Elementary in Hayward, California signed a $250,000, three-year contract with a company called "Woke Kindergarden" to teach them how to "fight white supremacy" among other totally real things. Teacher Tiger Craven-Neeley questioned the cost given failing scores and asked what "disrupting whiteness" meant for a 3rd grade classroom. They were furious. Craven-Neeley was shouted at: "You are a danger to the school or the community." First he was banned from 'training' sessions. Then he was suspended.

Feb 11, 2024 ~ A DC court orders Mark Steyn to pay Michael Mann $1 Million in Mann's defamation case. Extremely chilling decision. The climate cult is a religion with high priests who can't be questioned. The litigious Michael Mann vows to go after National Review again after losing his first case against them. "Michael Mann Vows to Target NR Yet Again: 'They're Next'" Mann, who is an excellent researcher who has never faked his data and does not behave like a cartoon super villain, threatens to ruin the lives of anyone who suggests otherwise.

Dec 17, 2023 ~ 'When the New York Times lost its way' James Bennet tells how he was fired from the @nytimes for allowing Sen. Cotton to write an opinion. Bennet explains how the Times went from mere #FakeNews to something far worse. "The Times’s problem has metastasised from liberal bias to illiberal bias, from an inclination to favour one side of the national debate to an impulse to shut debate down altogether."

Dec 11, 2023 ~ David Strom, 'Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Unsung Hero of COVID-19' He "stood up to the mob made up of academics, journalists, and the pharmaceutical companies." "The government was claiming a stratospheric IFR of 3%-5%, while Bhattacharya’s study pegged it closer to 0.2%, with almost all the fatalities concentrated in easily identified groups–in particular the elderly.   Bhattacharya took from this the obvious: focus your efforts on protecting those at risk.   This IFR has since been confirmed, but at the time, Dr. Bhattacharya suffered slings and arrows for downplaying the virus’s danger. Telling the truth was not welcomed."   "Far from celebrating the scientific work Bhattacharya did to pin down COVID’s IFR, Stanford turned on him."   "The bottom line is that from the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, politics and money drove policy, not science. In some ways, it was worse; some of Bhattacharya’s colleagues called on Stanford to censor him for not toeing the line." [Cancel Culture, Coronavirus, Silencing]

Nov 15, 2023 ~ Americans should really value the 1st Amendment. Recently, 2 men were arrested in Canada for a private conversation between them on an unapproved topic.

Nov 5, 2023 ~ State University of New York at Albany sociology professor Renee Overdyke was arrested for violently disrupting a pro-life demonstration. She unplugged a projector and prevented the presentation and then she resisted arrest. This comes 2 weeks after a conservative speaker was shouted down and prevented to speak at the same university. The left despises free speech. They cannot allow any dissenting opinions to be heard. Its no mystery why. [Abortion, College, Free Speech, Silencing, Violent Left]
Oct 31, 2023 ~ Jen Hodgson, 'Two Calgary men charged for conversation on transit en route to 1 Million March 4 Children' "The two individuals report 'having had a private conversation on the C-train with a like-minded passenger.' However, it appears the conversation was overheard and reported. The men were detained when they got off the train. One was handcuffed while police confirmed his identity and they were both issued a ticket and summons to court." What in the actual fuck is the matter with any country not the US? Supposedly free countries are arresting people for having a conversation!! [Free Speech, Silencing]
Oct 25, 2023 ~ Leftists of all variety have been cheering the Islamic terrorists killing Jews in the most barbaric ways? Many have known for a long time that the left is evil.

Oct 22, 2023 ~ Bill Maher explains why many colleges like Harvard have become worthless cesspools of left wing garbage. "As an Ivy League graduate who knows the value of a liberal education, I have one piece of advice for the youth of America. Don’t go to college. And if you absolutely have to go, don’t go to an elite college, because as recent events have shown, it just makes you stupid. There are few if any positives to come out of what happened in Israel, but one of them opening America's eyes to how higher education has become indoctrination, among them the simplistic notion that the world is a binary place where everyone is either an oppressor or oppressed. In the case of Israel, oppressors being babies and bubas. The same students who will tell you that words are violence and silence is violence were very supportive when Hamas terrorists went on a rape and murder rampage worthy of the Vikings. They knew where to point the fingers; at the murdered, and then it was off to ethics class."   "Siding with terrorists," "34 student groups at Harvard signed a letter saying 'the apartheid regime is the only one to blame,' proving they don't know what constitutes apartheid. They don't know much of anything, actually. But it doesn’t deter them from having an opinion. They’ve convinced themselves Israel is the most repressive regime in history because they have no knowledge of history or even a desire to know it. And actual history doesn’t come up in their intersectionality of politics and gender queer identities class.”   “If ignorance is a disease, Harvard Yard is the Wuhan wet market. The reason why despising Israel became pretty much a requirement of the American Left is colleges, elite colleges, the mouth of the river from which this and all manner of radical Left illiberal, yes, illiberal nonsense flows. Supporting all-black, that is segregated dorms, segregated graduation ceremonies, and orientation programs, which occur on hundreds of campuses is illiberal. So is the racism against Asian applicants and chasing speakers off of campus. When the First Amendment watchdog group Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression began ranking colleges based on their commitment to free speech and inquiry, Harvard came in dead last. There is only one set of acceptable opinions on campus, and it’s policed hard." "Elite schools should no longer be called elite. Just say expensive." Oddly, after excoriating Democrats and the left, Maher ends up attacking Republicans, perhaps annoyed that they figured all of this out long before he did?

They demonetize stories on topics they don't want the truth told about in order to strong-arm us into not writing about them at all. It's the most egregious type of corporate censorship and an attempt to deprive us of the revenue we need to survive and keep telling the truth." [Free Speech, Silencing, Tech Bias, Tech Censorship]

Sep 16, 2023 ~ Update on black BLM activist named Zyahna Bryant who falsely accused a white girl at UVA named Morgan Bettinger of wanting to run over #BLM protesters who were lying on the road to block traffic. Bettinger was expelled after a kangaroo court, UVA released public statements implying she’s a white supremacist, her dreams of going to law school over, she became unemployable and she ended up with ongoing psychological issues as a result of the Bryant led mob ruining her life. Years later UVA admitted they wrongly expelled her and Bryant admitted she didn't ever hear Bettinger say anything. But Bettinger's life remains in ruins. So who better for Dove company to make one of their spokespeople than Zyahna Bryant?

Asshole students at Washington College shouted down Princeton University Professor Robert George as he tried to give a speech titled “The Truth-Seeking Mission of the University,” allegedly for being 'anti-trans.' These shit stains are the same everywhere. Vile tyrants who think they decide who can speak and who can hear. They start with shout downs and resort to violence if necessary.

Sep 13, 2023 ~ Important message from Dr. Elliot Kaminetzky, "The more I’ve learned about pediatric gender medicine the more concerned I’ve become. I feared I was a terrible bigot. I am not. Over the past few years, I’ve been speaking privately to many therapists: high profile therapists, LGBTQ+ ally therapists, specialists and generalists and yes, even trans therapists. Almost every single one of them had an array of concerns about how the medical and mental health establishment is harming children, from the researchers using the shoddiest research practices to the therapists abandoning serious assessment. (Those not concerned knew almost nothing about it and were shocked to learn about it). All of these therapists are afraid to say anything which is the scariest part of all. They have their practices, their tenure, their dinner parties, their salaries, their mortgage, their board seats, and leadership positions that they fear will all be put in jeopardy should they open their mouth. I don’t blame them. I was one of them. Until now. This is too important to be silent about. The science is not settled. There is no consensus. These kids need our genuine therapeutic help, not a fast track to puberty blockers, hormones, and surgery (see below). Every country that has been doing this before the US has since significantly altered course. We are an outlier. Therapists, your silence makes the lives of honest therapists who care to speak out so much harder. I don’t know how much longer this will last, but I can’t sleep knowing that I was silent when children are being harmed every day." [Anti-Science, Cancel Culture, Free Speech, Silencing, Trans]

Sep 7, 2023 ~ Bombshell article by climate scientist blowing the whistle on why the public cannot and should not trust 'Science' Patrick T. Brown, 'I Left Out the Full Truth to Get My Climate Change Paper Published' "I just got published in Nature because I stuck to a narrative I knew the editors would like. That’s not the way science should work." The current [false] narrative is that climate change is driving wild fires when in reality it is AT BEST a minor factor. "I knew not to try to quantify key aspects other than climate change in my research because it would dilute the story that prestigious journals like Nature and its rival, Science, want to tell.   This matters because it is critically important for scientists to be published in high-profile journals; in many ways, they are the gatekeepers for career success in academia. And the editors of these journals have made it abundantly clear, both by what they publish and what they reject, that they want climate papers that support certain preapproved narratives—even when those narratives come at the expense of broader knowledge for society.   To put it bluntly, climate science has become less about understanding the complexities of the world and more about serving as a kind of Cassandra, urgently warning the public about the dangers of climate change. However understandable this instinct may be, it distorts a great deal of climate science research, misinforms the public, and most importantly, makes practical solutions more difficult to achieve."   "In reality, though, the biases of the editors (and the reviewers they call upon to evaluate submissions) exert a major influence on the collective output of entire fields. They select what gets published from a large pool of entries, and in doing so, they also shape how research is conducted more broadly. Savvy researchers tailor their studies to maximize the likelihood that their work is accepted. I know this because I am one of them.   Here’s how it works.   The first thing the astute climate researcher knows is that his or her work should support the mainstream narrative—namely, that the effects of climate change are both pervasive and catastrophic and that the primary way to deal with them is not by employing practical adaptation measures like stronger, more resilient infrastructure, better zoning and building codes, more air conditioning—or in the case of wildfires, better forest management or undergrounding power lines—but through policies like the Inflation Reduction Act, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions."   "This type of framing, with the influence of climate change unrealistically considered in isolation, is the norm for high-profile research papers. For example, in another recent influential Nature paper, scientists calculated that the two largest climate change impacts on society are deaths related to extreme heat and damage to agriculture. However, the authors never mention that climate change is not the dominant driver for either one of these impacts: heat-related deaths have been declining, and crop yields have been increasing for decades despite climate change. To acknowledge this would imply that the world has succeeded in some areas despite climate change—which, the thinking goes, would undermine the motivation for emissions reductions."   "I left academia over a year ago, partially because I felt the pressures put on academic scientists caused too much of the research to be distorted... But climate scientists shouldn’t have to exile themselves from academia to publish the most useful versions of their research. We need a culture change across academia and elite media that allows for a much broader conversation on societal resilience to climate.   The media, for instance, should stop accepting these papers at face value and do some digging on what’s been left out. The editors of the prominent journals need to expand beyond a narrow focus that pushes the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. And the researchers themselves need to start standing up to editors, or find other places to publish."   [Anti-Science, Cancel Culture, Climate Change, Fake News, Free Speech, Silencing]
