Video: Former Clinton Advisor [Naomi] Wolf Warns Dems Are ‘In An Embrace With Big Tech’ To Censor Dissenting Voices

“It’s really a very kind of CCP type of conditioning to kind of conform and watch our words”

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Appearing on Tucker Carlson’s show Wednesday, former Clinton advisor Naomi Wolf warned that Democrats are aligned with big tech in an effort to ‘consolidate power’ by censoring and removing any opinions they disagree with.

The author spoke of how she has recently been suspended twice from Twitter, noting “I’ve been talking about all kinds of things for years on social media and have never had this problem until I talked to a conservative about how left and right should unite to save the Constitution.”

“It’s really a very kind of CCP [Chinese Communist Party] type of conditioning to kind of conform and watch our words,” Wolf urged, adding “It’s censorship.”

Wolf added that “Unfortunately, my side, the Dems, are kind of in an embrace with Big Tech to kind of consolidate power on social media and drown out conservative voices.”

“It’s not good for the country and it’s not good for our union,” Wolf emphasised.

The author also referenced her last appearance with Carlson when she warned that the US is devolving into a ‘totalitarian’ police state under the Biden administration as endless lockdowns and restrictions show little sign of being lifted.

“One of the things that I was calling attention to before I got de-platformed is the fact that Big Tech is part of the shape of lockdowns, the way the policy unfolds,” Wolf said, adding “So we do have to seize our Constitution back and call out Big Tech for censorship and for exploiting these divisions.”

If there are still some patriotic Dems out there, and if they join with us to at least push back against the totalitarians in Big Tech and the Dem Party, maybe there is hope we can turn things around. I am skeptical, but hoping nevertheless.

“To consolidate their power” and secure that power indefinitely is their entire agenda.

The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
― George Orwell, 1984

You read Freeper long enough and you will see the encroachment of the left and very few stories of it going the other way. Why is that? It’s the slow slide to communism/socialism... which is now speeding up. Who is taking the fight to the democrats, big tech, the RINOs, academia, etc. Answer: very few it seems.

Does this mean that as long as people have TV, beer, cell phones and government money, they will continue to let things slide and wouldn’t mind soft totalitarianism? Chinese population doesn’t mind. Dependence and comfort is traded for freedom... they have become domesticated. They have lost their human soul.

I believe that where it is going. So enjoy your freedom while you can and pray for your kids.

“So long as they (the Proles) continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern...Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.”
― George Orwell, 1984

As Prager says, “most people will choose to be taken care of, bottom line.”

They need to FINE these companies for forcing political views on the public. Fine them billions of dollars and use it to pay off the deficit.
I guarantee if it costs them, they will quit. No more stupid hearings. Just fine them.

Let's face it, our political leaders (particularly DemonRatz) and the media (including social) are wholly owned subsidiaries of the CCP.

The coup was a success, we are no longer the 'America' of my youth.

Gates planned on censoring dissent against the vaccine before the plannedemic in 2019.

Gates and Fauci both should be in Levenworth.

We all have to determine how we're going to survive this onslaught against Western values and our very cultural norms.

The press networks and technology are in the lead regarding shaping public opinion via massive propaganda and the trending of cancel and banning. ...much of which can and should be ignored. Refuse to follow their bouncing balls and watch fobs to distract and confuse and irritate. Biden's a big one they're using when we all know he's just their watch fob to keep folks mesmerized.
