On Saturday, I received an email from Stephen Fee, the Communications Director for PEN America, alerting me to a virtual gala celebration on December 8 to honor Barack Obama with its 2020 Voice of Influence Award.
Among other topics, Obama will share with the PEN audience how “disinformation -- and media outlets willing to spread it -- are an immediate threat to democracy.” PEN’s mission, so they tell us, is “to protect free expression in the United States and worldwide.”
Is this a hoax? Obama deserved the Nobel Peace Prize more than he deserves this award. A report released by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) in October 2013 showed that only in Bizarro World would Obama merit such an honor.
In the way of background, a group of foreign journalists founded the CPJ in 1981 to protect their colleagues around the world from harassment by authoritarian governments. The CPJ is not exactly part of the much-bruited “right-wing noise machine.” Au contraire!

The media is hoping they will be the last ones to get eaten.

Industrial strength projection.
Everyone mentioned in this article is an anti American globalist.These people and their ilk are the people who hope to destroy the American nation, strip Americans of their liberties and rights and subject them to an authoritative, unelected one world goveernment controlled by elites. The globalists control academia, the MSM, big tech, finance,the democrat party and the deep state. They are the enemy of the American people and must be stopped by any means necessary.

Like telling the public that the 9-11-2012 terrorist attack on our embassy was really the result of a “provocative” Youtube movie about Mohammed so they went and locked the filmmaker up to appease the Islamonazis.
This ORGANization’s name would be more accurate if its “PEN” name (representing “Poets, Editors, Novelists”) was broadened include its two other members:
Idiots and Satanists!
