Excerpts
After a series of bombings at churches and hotels early Easter Sunday left over 200 dead across Sri Lanka, the country's government has blocked access to social media sites including Facebook and Instagram, according to Sri Lanka's government news site.
According to that report, Sri Lanka's Presidential Secretariat made the decision "as false news reports were spreading through social media."
A tweet from Sri Lanka's Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe condemning the attacks cautioned residents of the country to "avoid propagating unverified reports and speculation,"
In March 2018, Sri Lanka temporarily banned access to social media across much of the country amid a wave of violence between the Buddhist and Muslim communities. In that instance, Mano Ganesan, Minister of National Coexistence Dialogue and Official Languages, said that the government was trying to halt "all communal hate speech posts via social media."
An in-depth article at The New York Times explores the ways social media can fan the flames of ethnic and religious tension, sometimes leading to violence. The article describes how a video of a misunderstanding in a Muslim-owned restuarant in which the owner was falsely accused of putting sterilization-causing medication in a customer's food went viral on Facebook, setting off a wave of anti-Muslim violence across the country.
Does this sound familiar?

You can tell I’m no chick, easily.
If I were, I’d be the only one here without a marriage proposal from Bagster!!

Not so quick there, ace.
I had to ask him.
“Those who have never been taught critical thought,
will never change their views.”
“Those who have been educated using the Outcome Based
Education model can never be changed to think critically.”
Well, in that case, I guess these two additional “Earth Day”
related items Dad just tossed me may only take a bit of the
shock away, when reality suddenly closes in.
Then there’s the 4-6%...

I got the beast meme dropped on #666!
Get Thee Behind us, Post 666!
Fitting that you got that picture in post #666.
I’m thinking we should reserve the spot in the future for memes of our enemies?
Good spot for them!

Shadilay.
Lol. Sure sounds like it doesn’t it.
Too funny...and too true!
Yeah, you'd think.
Christians are "far right" but the murdered Sri Lankans are "Easter Worshipers". Muslims are "moderate". And President and Melania Trump pose at the White House Easter Egg event with a "bespectacled bunny character".
... and the Magic Mirror.
Q says “think mirror”

Exactly. He does say that, doesn’t he(they)?
At least you didn’t “Accidentally” link that pic from
QResearch so you could ask the Mods to delete that post.
Bags has been teaching us not to play with the Mods...

That anon’s post to the 8ch shills likely is one of the most effective posts thus far...
but that begs the assumption that the shills who read it have a soupçon of intellect.
So maybe not...but with my POTUS at the helm with essential assistance by the Q team we cannot lose.
Winning is guaranteed...it is just a matter of time.
