    Censored: Another US Firm Does The Chinese Communist Party’s Dirty Work March 29, 2020 The Watcher Propaganda, War, World 0 I write for Quora. Quora is a social media website owned by Google where people ask and answer each other’s questions. Like most social media sites, it trends Left and anyone with an opposing viewpoint has to be extra careful to avoid having their content pulled from the site. It has a BNBR policy – “be nice be respectful” that is supposed to deter trolls. The content policies are policed by algorithms under the supervision of humans. The site is...

    During the House impeachment proceedings, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) released a report which included the phone records that included calls made or received by Rep. Devin Nunes(R-CA), journalist John Solomon, Rudy Giuliani, and others. The records in the report didnÂ’t contain the content of the conversations but included who called who and how long the call lasted. The belief was that the records were obtained through subpoenas to the phone companies of records related to Giuliani and Lev Parnas, with the obvious purpose meant to try to impugn the people whose records were included without reason or cause. What made...

    Vimeo censors my interview, in which Catherine Austin Fitts and I discuss coronavirus and vaccines Vimeo also removed another Fitts interview with a distinguished attorney, on the subject of mandated vaccines They're meddling with you, and deciding for you . To boil it down: a video was posted, then it was censored. Removed. Deleted. By Vimeo. On March 4. Bang. Why? Because you're not supposed to know what was discussed in the video. It might give you a wrong idea. You might infer something you shouldn't. You can't handle making up your own mind. You have to feed at the...
  • My Epson Printer Hacked My Router

    The printer installation bypassed my router's security. Essentially, it asked for a "User ID", the router name, but not the password: presumably, on the pretext of user convenience. It means, I could hijack my neighbors' routers and use them for printing without their ever knowing anything about it. I love Epson printers. I got 10 years' service from 2 printers. I only had to buy new printers when operating system upgrades could not use the drivers or I couldn't get ink. I tried to get a new printer that doesn't have color cartridges. The Epson printer I came up with...

    This is a question to all Trump supporters and conservatives. We are in the fight for our lives, the socialists and ‘Bernie Bros’ want the rest of us disarmed for their ‘revolution’. Those of us on the right need to band together in stopping the assault. The purpose here is to compile a list of the “Better” 2nd amendment freedom groups such a GOA or VCDL. Part of the problem is that some groups are posers and Ne’er-do-wells The gun feed recently did this: Help us compile a list of state gun rights organizations… http://thegunfeed.com/state-gun-rights-organizations/ The more information the better...

    From the r/The_Donald subreddit "(Former, as of minutes ago, top mod of the last few years here) First they changed upvote algorithms to keep us from reaching the masses. Next, they outright censored us from /all. Then, they quarantined us, to make it difficult to even see our words, much less spread them. Then, one by one, they added new rules to stifle what would could even say behind the quarantine. Users were sitewide banned, automod size increased to prevent you from speaking freely. Still not enough, they decided to start banning us for even liking content we see, things...

    As we see Google increasingly becoming both politically correct in what it provides as search results (and I have not found other search engines to be much better), as well as (it seems to me) favoring pages that provide brief, cursory info (likely due to mobile devices), then I want to create a custom search engine for conservative (mainly political/ideological) issues, which Google enables one to do. And which is relatively easy to do, and here it is as of now, https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=011383487679067898861:gug5bh6z5ol (look for search bar in top left corner). That is the public URL, though Google provides a code...

    This is an expanded version of my previous article "Julian Assange, CrowdStrike, and the Russian Hack that Wasn't." "American Greatness" wanted me to do it because CrowdStrike has received so much attention recently. There's a good bit of overlap, but this is more comprehensive. It incorporates new information and further elaborates on old info. Supersedes original piece as best source for full story of how and why fake DNC hack was perpetrated and precisely what it was designed to do.

I have found that browsers on the iPhone, regardless of which one I use, are not very mobile-friendly. Text appears very small unless I turn it sideways and do not have obvious options to resize. Any help in this regard would be very much appreciated.

    New article pointing out that impeachment wasn't a failure insofar as it memory-holed Trump having mentioned CrowdStrike and the DNC servers and sucked up media attention. Democrats avoided any prolonged discussion of their story of the fake DNC hack, which can't withstand the slightest scrutiny.

    One minute you are contemplating your next vacation, the next you click on Facebook and see adverts for hotels and cheap flights. Coincidence? Surely. But what about that smart speaker in your kitchen? It doesn’t just play music and provide an on-demand weather forecast. It hears about the groceries that need replenishing, the cat’s trip to the vet, and, of course, your vacation plans. Now imagine what such a listening device could do in the workplace. The whispered conversation about difficulties with your latest project is automatically reported to your manager. The half hour spent discussing child care arrangements is...

    The freshman Queens socialist enlisted her man to talk about the issue of “combating racism as a white person.” “I think it’s helpful and important to talk to other white people about racism, and I think a lot of people, they don’t want to be racist,” Roberts, 30, offered as AOC sat beside him. “They don’t think that they’re racist, but they also don’t know some of the things they believe or say are and can be racist.”
  • Karen: The anti-vaxxer soccer mom with speak-to-the-manager hair, explained: How the name “Karen” became an insult — and a meme.

    If your name is Karen, Becky, or Chad, you may have noticed a growing trend of people using your name as an insult. Increasingly, “Karen” in particular has emerged as the frontrunner for the average “basic white person name” — a pejorative catchall label for a wide range of behaviors thought to have connections to white privilege. And the recently trending Twitter hashtag #AndThenKarenSnapped has further shifted the “Karen” meme from its nebulous origins toward becoming a mainstream trope. Where a similar insult like “OK Boomer” stereotypes a specific generation, calling someone a “Karen” draws on associations people have built...
