No, it’s NOT “fake news.” It’s Nazi propaganda.

Posted by M. C. on May 4, 2022

Someone who’s over there demolishes three whopping lies about “Ukraine,” with visual evidence beyond dispute

https://markcrispinmiller.substack.com/p/no-its-not-fake-news-its-nazi-propaganda?s=r

This exemplary takedown of the “Ukraine” propaganda comes from Russell Bentley of Texas, now living in the Donbas (and some of whose interviews I’ve posted here):

There’s a wise old maxim that says, “The first step on the road to wisdom is to call things by their right names.” So, let’s do that.

“Fake News” has been around a long while, The New York Sun’s “Great Moon Hoax” of 1835 is a good (and amusing) example. An absolute falsehood and fantasy was published as fact to a credulous public who ate it up. This fake news story about the moon established The Sun as a major and highly profitable newspaper throughout the United States. Fifty years later, Hearst and Pulitzer were competing with each other for readership by publishing preposterous and sensationalist phony stories that became known as “yellow journalism”, or as I simply call it, “urinalism”. Because the media that publish such swill, and the hacks that write for them, are fit only for cleaning toilets. But those carefree days are long in the past, and fake news is no longer funny.

The practice of publishing false stories for financial or political motives has probably been around much longer than that, but today it has been elevated to a science and an art form, a black art form, that is truly one of the greatest threats to the future of Humanity in the world today. It is mass brainwashing on a global scale, abetted by science and technology, a war on human consciousness, a concentrated and deliberate attack on people’s ability to see reality, to discern fact from lies, it is a war against the truth.

It has been correctly said that a respect for the truth is the basis for all morality, so a war against the truth is a war against morality, against all that is good and decent. Without an ability to see reality and detect lies, without a moral compass, people are literally no more than dumb beasts, mules to be worked and exploited by their owners, or sheep to be led to the slaughter. “Fake news” is a term a bit too cute and cozy for the black art of intentionally erasing the very intellect and morality that makes us human. It seeks to dumb down and degrade Humanity to the point to where people are no longer human. And that point is fast approaching, and for many, is already here.

I want to give three concrete and irrefutable examples of genuine nazi propaganda, produced by the West, (US and EU) about the war in Ukraine in just the last month, which not only attempt to cover up the crime of intentional mass murder attacks on civilians, but go further still and attempt to blame the actual victims for the crimes of US, EU and Ukrainian nazis. You will see by these three indisputable examples how disinformation is used as a truly evil weapon, how to defend against it, and how to destroy it with the truth.

Example #1 La Stampa (Italy) FRONT PAGE PHOTO – “THE CARNAGE”

The Italian propaganda rag La Stampa published the photo above on 15 March, 2022, showing a horrific scene of mass murder of civilians by illegal cluster munitions delivered to a city center by a ballistic missile. 24 civilians (including an entire family with 2 kids) were murdered, and dozens more gravely injured. The headlines in red across the top – “Russia kills 400 in Mariupol, Kiev prepares for Russian attack”. Emblazoned across the photo, “The Carnage”. The photo is real, and while the headlines are intentionally misleading, they are not outright lies. They don’t have to be. The liars at La Stampa don’t have to actually lie, most Europeans, like most US citizens are far too stupid to actually look beyond the headlines, and are easily deceived by nothing more than insinuations. And pro-nazi propagandists like those at La Stampa know it.

I could tell you that the photo actually shows the results of a Ukrainian Army war crime by a Tochka-U missile that was intentionally launched at Donetsk city center around 12:00 noon on Monday March 14th, that in fact it was intended to kill many times more than the 24 civilians who were murdered. I could tell you that the weekend before, fake ukrop troll accounts on Russian and other social media spread false stories that the DPR administration would be giving news about the status of DPR soldiers at 12:30 on March 14th at the Administration Building in central Donetsk, and wives, mothers, daughters of soldiers should come there then.

A Medical Hydraulic Empire

Posted by M. C. on May 4, 2022

By Charles Curley

Fran Van Cleave

 The United States’ health outcomes place us at either 18th or 30th in the world, depending on which study you look at.  Neither ranking is particularly glorious, especially considering that the US has the most expensive health care in the world. Our doctors are punished by insurance companies when they take extra time to look for causes rather than just treat symptoms. The end result is the equivalent of putting duct tape over the “check engine light.” Who wants to pay for that, even with a zero co-pay? Anyone?

A Medical Hydraulic Empire

Never let a good crisis go to waste. — Winston Churchill

In the headlong rush toward socialized medicine in America, all sorts of arguments have been made. Here’s one we haven’t heard, and we find it one of the most unsettling.

Wikipedia says, “A hydraulic empire (also known as a hydraulic despotism, or water monopoly empire) is a social or government structure which maintains power and control through exclusive control over access to water. It arises through the need for flood control and irrigation, which requires central coordination and a specialized bureaucracy.” But a hydraulic empire need not be based on water. It can be some other commodity precious to human life. Like medicine.

Larry Niven wrote a novel about a hydraulic empire based on vitamins, Destiny’s Road. (1998) It should scare the hell out of you.

What is socialized medicine but a hydraulic empire based on medicine?

When one of us first wrote about this on Facebook in 2018, the post foresaw Soviet style direct political intervention in the health care system. “Sorry, Comrade, no vitamins for you today. You shouldn’t buck the Party.” “Your surgery has been postponed, Comrade. Comrade O’Brien took sick, and the party needs him.” Or maybe Venezuelan style socialism.

But recent events show it doesn’t take Soviet style authoritarianism. All it takes is political correctness and Critical Race Theory (CRT) as now practiced by a country’s governing elite. Britain’s National Health Service (NHS), under a Conservative government, may deny health care to “Racist” or “Homophobic” patients. While racism apparently is a problem in British health care, denying health care simply because a patient is racist is the wrong (but oh-so-politically-correct) solution.

Oh, and they are also using it to enforce so-called “equity”. For example, New York will prioritize non-White people in the distribution of COVID-19 treatments in short supply. “Non-white race or Hispanic/Latino ethnicity should be considered a risk factor, as longstanding systemic health and social inequities have contributed to an increased risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19.”

Similarly, Minnesota now requires healthcare providers to provide non-white patients with preferential access to monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). mAbs are used to treat and to avoid infections of COVID-19. Since the article was published, Minnesota has removed the specific mention of BPIOC in the scoring factors. Instead, as of January 12, 2022, providers are supposed to “Strive for fairness and protect against systematic unfairness and inequity. It’s anyone’s guess as to what that actually means and how it will be implemented. But worry not: Minnesota has a “Resource Library for Advancing Health Equity in Public Health”[https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/practice/resources/equitylibrary/index.html]. Utah was apparently also following race-based guidelines in providing medical care for COVID-19 patients, and now both Utah and Minnesota are threatened with lawsuits from America First Legal, a conservative law firm founded by Stephen Miller.

In democratic Germany, rules banning adults unvaccinated for COVID from public places are being applied to the Bundestag, prohibiting citizens from participating in the national legislature. It also applies to MPs, thereby denying thousands of Germans their right to parliamentary representation. Now that the left-leaning Social Democrats (SDP) and Greens are in power (in a coalition with the liberal Free Democrats), the political target is clear: the right-wing Alternative for Germany party (AfD). The AfD has the largest number of unvaccinated MPs and has campaigned against vaccine mandates.

For some months now, patients on waiting lists for organ transplants have been ordered to get the COVID vaccine or be taken off the waiting list for the limited number of organs available, which usually means death when their own organs fail. Strangely, the fact that myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) is a known and listed side effect for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines has not altered the demand by medical authorities that all patients must have the COVID vaccine in order to make them better transplant candidates.

SUSPECTED AND KNOWN TERRORISTS WALKING FREELY IN THE US

Posted by M. C. on May 4, 2022

See link for Rumble video

Suspected AND Known Terrorists Walking Freely in the US

by Project Veritas

A source within the Federal Government has come forward to reveal suspected and known terrorists are roaming freely in the United States following the Biden administration’s exit strategy in Afghanistan, and subsequent initiatives launched by the Department of Homeland Security [DHS] to shelter fleeing refugees, known as Operation Allies Welcome.

Here are some of the highlights from today’s video:

• The records obtained by Project Veritas confirm numerous suspected terrorists are currently living throughout the country, many of whom have work visas despite being flagged by the Terrorist Watchlist for violent offenses like murder and using explosive devices and arms.

• Project Veritas published redacted government records of suspected terrorists who fall under the “Tier 1” threat level which is labelled as “Armed and Dangerous.” Most of these individuals flagged by the Department of Homeland Security were admitted because of an initiative to shelter fleeing refugees called Operation Allies Welcome.

• The whistleblower inside the Federal Government has identified numerous cases. The suspected terrorists verified by Project Veritas appear to only be a small sample size. These threats live throughout the country including the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C.

US Should Stop Playing the Supplicant to Saudi Arabia

Posted by M. C. on May 4, 2022

America, Not the Corrupt Medieval Dictatorship, Is the Superpowerby Doug Bandow

antiwar.com

Pity President Joe Biden. His spendthrift fiscal policies spurred an inflationary wave. His sanctions against Russia roiled energy markets, already suffering from long-standing restrictions on the sale of Iranian and Venezuelan oil. When he went, hat-in-hand, to the oppressive Saudi monarchy the king refused to take his call.

The Emiratis treated him no better. Even though the US rushed to Abu Dhabi’s aid when Yemen’s Houthi rebels finally began shooting back after years of attacks on civilian targets, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayad al-Nahyan complained that Washington did not act sooner. Obsequious Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Abu Dhabi, prostrating himself while promising to do better in the future.

So far neither “friend” of America has produced any extra oil. Indeed, it appears that the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, known as MbS, is gambling on the return to power of Donald Trump, who acted as consigliere to the bin Salman crime family. The Saudi list of grievances is long, but all reflect anger that Washington sometimes puts America’s interests before those of the Kingdom: “the administration’s restrictions on arms sales; what [MbS] saw as its insufficient response to attacks on Saudi Arabia by Houthi forces in Yemen; its publication of a report into the Saudi regime’s 2018 murder of the dissident and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi; and Biden’s prior refusal to deal in person with the crown prince.” For Crown Prince “Slice ‘n Dice,” used to kidnapping, jailing, killing, and even dismembering his critics, such behavior by Washington is unforgivable.

The Biden administration’s current fixation is finding increased oil supplies as it pushes to ban Russian sales. Going to America’s Persian Gulf “allies,” particularly the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, was Washington’s most natural move. However, both benefit from higher oil prices, collecting more revenue and stretching out production. Without being offered something in return, they had no reason to agree.

The administration also could satisfy its objectives by relaxing sanctions on Venezuela – Trump’s attempt to achieve regime change by starving an already impoverished people failed spectacularly. The Maduro regime is malign, but Washington has punished the Venezuelan people more than the government. Biden officials recently ventured to Caracas to discuss oil exports but so far have failed to act, presumably fearing the domestic political consequences.

Similarly, restoring the JCPOA, the nuclear deal with Iran, would bring substantially more oil onto the international market. The Trump administration’s decision to wreck the agreement, a political gift to Riyadh and Jerusalem, proved disastrous. Although candidate Biden said he favored America’s return to the pact, which limited Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, President Biden retreated, fearing congressional criticism. So far he has refused to lift poison pill sanctions imposed by Trump to forestall revival of the deal, and the agreement is in limbo.

So oil prices remain painfully high with mid-term elections just six months away.

Now members of the infamous Blob, America’s foreign policy establishment, are urging Biden to do a full kowtow to Riyadh (and presumably Abu Dhabi as well), doing the royals’ bidding as before.

Alleged Russian Cyber Threats Fueled Nearly 2 Million Warrantless FBI Searches of Americans’ Data in 2021

Posted by M. C. on May 4, 2022

In total, the FBI ran 3.39 million warrantless data searches in 2021

antiwar.com

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence released its Annual Statistical Transparency Report for 2021, which for the first time included the number of warrantless searches of US citizens’ electronic data conducted by the FBI.

According to the report, the FBI conducted about 3.39 million searches of Americans’ data without a warrant. The searches are technically legal under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

Of the 3.9 million searches, the majority were conducted in response to claims of Russian cyber threats. According to The Washington Times, about 1.9 million of the searches were made in response to one alleged Russian cyber threat to critical US infrastructure.

It’s not clear what threat the FBI was responding to, and the US often accuses the Russian government of launching cyberattacks without offering evidence to back up the accusations. However, the US blamed the 2021 Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack on the Russian hacking group REvil, and the Russian government responded by dismantling REvil at the behest of Washington.

The searches for 2021 marked a significant increase from the prior year. According to the report, in 2020, the FBI conducted 1.32 million warrantless data searches. The report said the FBI can conduct such searches on persons “that are both reasonably likely to return foreign intelligence information and … queries that are reasonably likely to return evidence of a crime.”

The release of the search numbers was the result of legislation led by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) aimed at protecting Americans’ privacy. “The public deserves to know whether the FBI has fully addressed the extensive abuses of its 702 search authorities that have been documented for years. Baseline transparency is essential if the federal government wants to hold such sweeping surveillance powers,” Wyden said.

Meds: The Seen—and Unseen—of Intellectual Property Laws

Posted by M. C. on May 3, 2022

To slow down the development, use, and spread of technical innovation and prevent others from replicating and improving on innovations is to limit human production; it is to act against prosperity itself.

https://mises.org/wire/meds-seen-and-unseen-intellectual-property-laws

Bernardo Decoster

Perhaps the greatest lesson to be learned in economics is that public policies have seen and unseen effects. The mastery of such a lesson is what separates the good from the bad economist. “The bad economist,” writes Henry Hazlitt, “sees only what immediately strikes the eye; the good economist also looks beyond. The bad economist sees only the direct consequences of a proposed course; the good economist looks also at the longer and indirect consequences. The bad economist sees only what the effect of a given policy has been or will be on one particular group; the good economist inquires also what the effect of the policy will be on all groups.”

The same economic reasoning should be applied to intellectual property laws. By joining together not only the seen, but also the unseen consequences of intellectual property laws, we can achieve a solidly ironclad understanding of its impacts on humanity.

Visible Effects of Intellectual Property laws

In August 2015, Turing Pharmaceuticals acquired the marketing rights to Daraprim, a life-saving drug used to combat parasitic infections, and became its sole supplier. The next month, it hiked the price of the drug 5,000 percent, from $13.50 a tablet to $750, sparking nationwide protests. 

More noticeably than in any other sector, the patent system’s visible effects on the pharmaceutical industry are severely damaging to consumers and free enterprise. According to the Association for Accessible Medicine, “Innovation is critical to the success of the entire pharmaceutical industry. Without innovation there could be no generic pharmaceutical or biosimilar medicines for patients.” Big pharmaceutical corporations, with well-organized lobbying funding, are able to sustain the very monopolistic system that enables their abuse of consumers through high prices. Shielded by the power of the government, for example, Roche/Genentech has had a virtual monopoly on the cancer drug Herceptin since 1985, and AbbVie, which markets the world’s best-selling drug, Humira ($18 billion in global sales in 2017), has filed over 240 patent applications. These data points come from a 2018 report by the Initiative for Medicines, Access and Knowledge (I-MAK), which found that, on average across the top twelve grossing drugs in America

  • There are 125 patent applications filed and seventy-one granted patents per drug, the majority of which are granted.
  • Prices have increased by 68 percent since 2012, and only one of the top twelve drugs has actually decreased in price.
  • There are thirty-eight years of attempted patent protection that are blocking generic competition sought by drug makers for each of these top-grossing drugs—or nearly double the twenty-year monopoly intended under US patent law.
  • These top-grossing drugs have already been on the US market for fifteen years.
  • Over half of the top twelve drugs in America have more than a hundred attempted patents apiece.

These outrageous statistics point ever more strongly toward the notion that intellectual property laws, unnecessary to reward innovation, are merely tools used by crony corporations close to government power to block competition and increase the price of their products. 

Sadly, IP is not limited to the pharmaceutical sector, and its monopolistic effects are also heavily felt in the entertainment industry. The artificial monopoly granted and protected by the government leads to a standard “massified culture” and a creative stagnation within the entertainment industry, a phenomenon noted many decades ago by Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno, two Frankfurt scholars who missed the critical role played by IP laws in the phenomenon and then wrongly blamed entrepreneurs. It is precisely the blocking of competition, the blocking of free enterprise and entrepreneurial creation, that leads to a “mass cultural industry” dominated by big corporations.

Besides its horrid healthcare consequences and sociological disasters, IP laws also weigh heavily and directly on the taxpayer via the bureaucracy of patent litigation. An incredibly detailed infographic from The Anatomy of a Patent Case draws from varied sources to show the bureaucratic burden of IP laws. It concluded that litigation functions as a tax of about $31 billion dollars per year (maybe as much as $42 billion) and a drag on free enterprise.

Artificial monopolies, the bureaucratic burden, the rage-inducing high prices, and the destruction of creativity are only some visible effects of IP laws. Much worse, however, are its unseen effects.

Unseen Effects of Intellectual Property laws

The worldwide call to break the patent on covid-19 vaccines, fueled by the desire to accelerate their distribution, revealed a basic economic truth hidden in plain sight: to limit knowledge is to limit human prosperity. Even key players faced vaccine shortages due to third-party patents, yet virtually no one applied the same logical reasoning to other sectors. If patents on vaccine production limited the production (and subsequently, the distribution) of vaccines, why wouldn’t this apply to any other technological innovation?

Let’s take a step back and look at the logic behind this truth.

End the Culture War. Separate School and State.

Posted by M. C. on May 3, 2022

written by ron paul

Parents’ demand that their children receive a quality education reflecting the parents’ values could be met by a free market if the government got out of the way. A free-market education system would provide parents with a variety of options, including religious and secular private schools, community-based schools, and homeschooling.

A Florida bill restricting classroom instruction regarding sexuality in kindergarten through third grade has become the latest culture war skirmish.

Supporters of the bill say government schools have no business being involved in this type of instruction with young students. They make a good point. The use of government power to indoctrinate children in certain political and social beliefs — regardless of the wishes of parents — is a major problem.

While the instruction at issue in Florida is associated with efforts of leftists, the temptation to seek to achieve ideological objectives through education policy can be strong among conservatives as well.

The Ohio legislature is considering a bill similar to the Florida bill. Because the Ohio bill applies to private schools participating in Ohio’s taxpayer-funded school voucher program in addition to government schools, conservative legislators supporting the Ohio bill are vindicating the warning of conservatives and libertarians that allowing government to subsidize private school tuition would lead to government control of private schools.

Other conservatives are trying to force schools to adopt a “patriotic” curriculum. This is just as pernicious as leftists’ efforts to force schools to teach critical race theory. Students indoctrinated in critical race theory will graduate believing that white male capitalists are the source of all evil. Students indoctrinated in “patriotism” will graduate believing every bit of propaganda sponsored by the war party and will smear all dissenters from the “party line” as unpatriotic spreaders of disinformation from Russia or whatever country replaces Russia as global enemy number one.

In a free society, parents — not politicians, bureaucrats, or teachers unions — would control education. Parents would decide whether and when their children’s education will include topics like sexuality, race theory, and the evidence for and against Darwinism.

Parents’ demand that their children receive a quality education reflecting the parents’ values could be met by a free market if the government got out of the way. A free-market education system would provide parents with a variety of options, including religious and secular private schools, community-based schools, and homeschooling.

People searching for a quality homeschooling program that incorporates libertarian ideas without ever sacrificing education for indoctrination should look into my homeschooling curriculum.

The Ron Paul Curriculum provides students with a well-rounded education that includes rigorous programs in history, mathematics, and the physical and natural sciences. The curriculum also provides instruction in personal finance. Students can develop superior communication skills via intensive writing and public speaking courses. Another feature of my curriculum is that it provides students the opportunity to create and run their own businesses.

The government and history sections of the curriculum emphasize Austrian economics, libertarian political theory, and the history of liberty. However, unlike government schools, my curriculum never puts ideological indoctrination ahead of education. Interactive forums provide students with the opportunity to interact with their peers outside of a formal setting.

I encourage all parents looking to provide their children with an indoctrination-free education to go to RonPaulCurriculum.com for more information about my homeschooling program.

The Body Snatchers: The NWO’s Eugenics Agenda

Posted by M. C. on May 3, 2022

To reach the level of a perfect race—and ultimately immortality (which they believe they can achieve)—the unfit will have to go. And through psyops and distorted propaganda the body snatchers will convince the masses that eugenics, euthanasia and mass murder is compulsory for a squeaky-clean environment. Will humanity step in and stop the extinction of their own species, or allow it? Time will tell.

By Dr. Igor Shepherd

The body snatchers are here, and they are coming for you, me, and the rest of society—all under the guise that eugenics is necessary to contain scary viruses, end climate change, and protect the planet from pollution caused by overpopulation. We are entering a new world order where euthanasia, mandatory birth control, genetic screenings, genetic engineering, marriage restrictions, racial and mental health segregation, and abortions will be the new normal.

Eugenics is derived from ancient Greek and means “good genes,” which involves the practice of planned breeding in order to bring about better genetic traits for future populations. But to make a better race always involves elimination of those who do not have “good” genes.

What most people are not aware of is that the current ruling oligarchy follow a godless belief system called social Darwinism which they believe grants them the power to choose who lives and who dies. Legalizing eugenics allows these mad hatters to get away with mass murder.

The theory of social Darwinism promotes the belief that all species are related and gradually change over time through natural selection, which means that because of genetic variations certain individuals are born with greater genes, allowing them the rights to prevail over those bloodlines who are deemed less suitable. Charles Darwin’s premise that mankind evolved from earlier primates allows those who feel they are superior to drag the rest of the human race down to the level of animals, undermining natural law and contesting the long-held Biblical teachings that God created humans in His sacred image and likeness.

In 1859, Darwin published a daring book entitled, The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. Through Darwin’s philosophies social Darwinism took root and spread throughout the world, promoting the crude concept that only the “survival of the fittest,” those people who carry powerful positions in society, should be allowed to live and rule because they genetically evolved better than others. The rest of society are viewed as unfit, lazy and stupid, and this is why eugenics, racism, inequality and imperialism became a big part of the social Darwin thought-process.

This is why world leaders and members of the smokescreen organization, the World Economic Forum (WEF), have labeled themselves as the “elite” (survivors of the fittest) and propagate Darwinist theology in their writings and conferences. They are gung-ho in trying to condition the world to accept eugenics and the necessity of bulk depopulation.

In 2014, the 44th annual WEF meeting held in Davos, Switzerland, was named “The Reshaping of the World: Consequences for our Society, Politics and Business.” Microsoft nerd Bill Gates and global-warming guru, Al Gore, unmasked their radical thoughts on ridding the world of the “unfit.” Both men proposed that depopulation of the world was a necessary channel with which to end climate change, and that contraception was the key in making sure high climates did not harm the world. Gates blabbed that birth control was needed because too many people “generated” pollution, which in turn created abnormal changes in the weather. Boy, what a load of doo-doo. No wonder this guy was a Harvard dropout. He cannot differentiate between real science and science fiction.

The excrement does not end when it comes to propagating eugenics as something necessary to save the world from burn-everyone-alive out-of-control weather. A few years earlier, Professor Matthew Liao, from New York University, became peanut butter and jelly for the Darwinian mindset, and put out a research paper claiming human engineering and eugenics were necessary to put a lid on climate change. His bizarre suggestions included the following:

– Gene editing to create smaller-sized people so that people ate less food.

– Genetic modification to bring about night vision capabilities so that people used less energy.

– Utilizing various methods to generate a meat-intolerant population so that gas emissions would be lowered.

– Revise women’s cognitive abilities so that birth rates nose-dived.

– Convince populations into taking pro-social hormones so as to reset their brains and get them to collectively cooperate with the climate change agenda.

And if these human hijackers can collectively brainwash the masses to accept climate change through pro-social hormone treatments, you can imagine what other mind control horrors they have up their sleeves for the lazy and stupid populace.

Marketing the acceptance of eugenics through gene editing has been ongoing for quite a long time. This is why Harvard’s Professor Michael Sandel spoke at the University back in 2004, under the headline banner, “The New Eugenics? The Brave New World of Designer Children, Bionic Athletes, and Genetic Engineering.”

Sandal is a liberal political philosopher and professor for Harvard’s law school, and has no educational background in biology or medicine. And yet he was chosen to speak on the subject of genetic engineering. Could it possibly be because he promotes social Darwinism and is labeled as an anti-market Marxist? I think so.

Western Civilization Is Being Organized Around Winning US Infowars

Posted by M. C. on May 3, 2022

Caitlin Johnstone

The US-centralized empire’s use of propaganda, censorship and Silicon Valley algorithm manipulation is the single most urgent issue of our time, because it’s what prevents attention from being drawn to all other issues. And all signs indicate it’s set to get much, much worse.

I feel the need to reiterate once again that the censorship we’re seeing about Ukraine is of a whole new kind than anything we’ve seen before. There’s no pretense that it’s done to save lives or protect democracy this time around, it’s just “We need to control the thoughts that people think about this war.”

Once it was accepted that disinformation and misinformation must be curtailed from above, government and tech institutions took that as license to decide what’s true and false on our behalf. We know this because now they’re just openly propagandizing and censoring us about a war.

Caitlin Johnstone ⏳ @caitozWhen Russia does it it’s lies and disinformation. When Ukraine does it it’s folklore. May 1st 2022245 Retweets922 Likes

You didn’t know that you were granting government and tech institutions authority to decide what’s true and false on your behalf when you agreed that it’s fine for them to work together to censor and sanctify Official Narratives about Covid, but it turns out that’s what was happening.

It looks pretty obvious in retrospect now though, doesn’t it? You can’t regulate “disinformation” and “misinformation” without first determining what it is, and you can’t determine what it is without assigning someone the authority to make those distinctions. There are no benefecent, impartial and omniscient entities who can be trusted to become objective arbiters of absolute reality on our behalf. There are only flawed human beings who act in their own interest, which is why we’re now being censored and propagandized about a war.

In literally the very next instant after being given the authority to decide what’s true and false on our behalf regarding Covid, those same government, media and tech institutions launched into World War II levels of propaganda and censorship over a war we’re not even officially in. It was like they all said “Oh good, we get to do that now, finally.” The consensus that it was fine to launch into a shocking information lockdown about Ukraine was already formed and prepped for roll-out the day Russia invaded. It was taken as a given that they had that authority.

Over the last two years you’d get called an “anti-vaxxer” and worse if you said you didn’t think government-tied monopolistic megacorporations should be restricting speech about Covid measures that affect everyone, but it turns out those who issued these warnings were 100 percent correct.

It is clear now, as we see what we are becoming, that granting these powerful institutions authority to sort out fact from fiction on our behalf is far more dangerous than misinformation about a virus ever was. Now here we are, with the empire setting up “disinformation” boards while it escalates aggressions with Russia by the day and prepares to do the same with China in the not-too distant future. Our whole civilization is being organized around winning US propaganda wars.

Censorship is bad because free speech is how society orients itself toward truth, course-corrects when it’s going astray, and holds power to account. This is true whether censorship is by the government or by tech oligarchs. Only morons act like this is some weird right wing thing.

People say, “Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom of reach!”

And the answer to this is always, yes it does you idiot. If people who support status quo power have access to all the largest voice amplification platforms while critics of status quo power don’t, this kills the very purpose of free speech protections. Free speech protections are enshrined exactly because unrestricted speech puts a check on power. If critics of status quo power structures are being banned from the platforms where people get their voices heard, this function has been nullified.

You can’t say your society has free speech if critics of status quo orthodoxies aren’t free to speak where they will be heard, for exactly the same reason you can’t say people have free speech in Saudi Arabia as long as nobody hears their criticisms of the government.

Because free speech is designed to put a check on status quo power, it is exactly the voices who criticize the status quo that must be protected. Some of these voices will be unpalatable, but the alternative is permitting a Ministry of Truth to decide what dissent is permissible, an authority that’s certain to be abused. 

Speech isn’t free if it isn’t free in all the areas where people congregate to speak. If only mainstream supporters of the status quo have free access to all platforms, then free speech isn’t happening, and power has a lot more ability to do what it likes unchecked by the public. Saying it’s fine because people are still free to go to Gab or Truth Social to voice their criticisms of establishment Ukraine narratives or whatever is the same as saying it’s fine because people can still speak their criticisms of the government into a hole in the ground. Free speech is not happening.

Consent for this was given when we allowed these powers to assume complete narrative authority over what constitutes “misinformation”. It’s never too late to revoke consent, though. It just means the fight to pry our voices out of the hands of our rulers is going to be a tough slog.
