Breitbart ^ | 04/07/2022 | Simon Kent

Government regulation and control over the internet can defeat a “demand for crazy” through the spread of incorrect messages, former President Barack Obama said Wednesday.

If only he was as bright and insightful as he is arrogant and self-convinced.

Or hear me out. . . . . Instead of regulating free speech, stop trying to sway the public in one direction or another by hiding information from us. That is the root cause of the “misinformation” on the internet and mistrust of the government. But I wouldn’t expect politicians to ever fix anything they screwed up in the first place.

Looks like Obama is coming out from behind the curtain. He is now going to run the regime front and center while Biden goes down

And people who don’t know what a women is will make sure we speak correctly.
The same people who believe we can run the entire country on solar and wind power.
The same people who put us 30;plus trillion in debt.
The same people that “elected” a corrupt senile pervert for President.

“And what is “incorrect”? Anything that does not glorify the state. And who decides what is “incorrect”? Why, the state. Fascists gonna fasci.”

Just another round of them reaching into dystopian fiction like it was an instruction manual for achieving their goals.

They already have it. Bam and other politicians met with the heads of the thought control media, sometimes called “social media,” and told them to tighten the controls on thought and speech. They conformed.

U.S. Repeals Propaganda Ban, Spreads Government-Made News to Americans

JULY 14, 2013

For decades, a so-called anti-propaganda law prevented the U.S. government’s mammoth broadcasting arm from delivering programming to American audiences. But on July 2, that came silently to an end with the implementation of a new reform passed in January. The result: an unleashing of thousands of hours per week of government-funded radio and TV programs for domestic U.S. consumption in a reform initially criticized as a green light for U.S. domestic propaganda efforts.

Must not allow Larry Sinclair’s proven allegations about his homosexual liaisons with foreign student Barry Soetoro, to spread across the globe.

That’s what this is about.

Obama needs to go back to his multiple luxury estates (a significant upgrade of when he couldn’t pay his credit card bills before becoming President) and pray to Satan the goodness of God doesn’t find him for the rest of his life on this planet.

Our founders tried to protect us from non-natural born citizens, but nope, our betters told us that was racist and that it would be racist not to let this demon be president.
