People Can Win
Racket News ^ | 3/25/2023 | Matt Taibi

Posted on 03/25/2023 7:36:22 AM PDT by AndyJackson

We've been trained to think that endless rule by tiny minorities of really horrible people is the natural order of things, but that turns out to be just another lie.

....

Just a year ago, the Department of Homeland Security was going all-in on the fight against “MDM.” The notion that America is fatally infected with “Misinformation, Disinformation, and Malinformation” was in fact the animating idea begind the asinine plan the Biden administration announced last April to institute a “Disinformation Governance Board,” which was to be headed by Nina Jankowicz, a self-styled Mary Poppins of digital rectitude... [youtube video of the singing Jankowicz]...America took one look at Jankowicz and at most a few fleeting moments considering the “Disinformation Governance Board” plan before concluding, correctly, that it was a beyond-loathsome expression of aristocratic arrogance that needed shutting down before the first Jankowicz presser.

....

We don’t have to concede to a future of always being at war somewhere abroad, and with each other at home. We don’t have to put up with a government that doesn’t tell us anything. Most of all, we can go back to enjoying life, on our own terms, without stressing over an endless succession of panics invented by politically insecure losers. We can do so much better, and we will, because this place is ours to run, a fact the singing censors should never have let us remember.

I add for the record because Taibi cites it: Matt Schellenberger's 3/9/2023 testimony to Congress: The Censorship Industrial Complex: U.S. Government Support For Domestic Censorship And Disinformation Campaigns, 2016 - 2022

This is what I choose to think, this weekend evening. We don’t have to concede to a future of always being at war somewhere abroad, and with each other at home. We don’t have to put up with a government that doesn’t tell us anything. Most of all, we can go back to enjoying life, on our own terms, without stressing over an endless succession of panics invented by politically insecure losers. We can do so much better, and we will, because this place is ours to run, a fact the singing censors should never have let us remember.


Concluding article.

They win and only win when we give up. Engage in every small moment.

Yeah, that twit...

And to think that Matt Taibi used to write for Rolling Stone.

I'm looking forward to a new dawn.

NOT only do we have a government that doesn’t TELL US ANYTHING-—THEY WANT EVERY PIECE OF INFORMATION ABOUT US-—

NO CELL PHONE

NO ON STAR

Don’t need their surveillance

Got along for years without it.

And we don’t have to fund, without our knowledge, illegal development, on foreign soil, the means of our own destruction…Dr. Fauci.
