  • Michelle Obama Calls on Big Tech to Ban Donald Trump

    Breitbart ^ | 1/8/2021 | Alana Mastranglo
    Former First Lady Michelle Obama is calling on the Big Tech Masters of the Universe to ban President Donald Trump from their platforms, insisting that such a move would “to prevent their technology from being used by the nation’s leaders to fuel insurrection.” “Now is the time for Silicon Valley companies to stop enabling this monstrous behavior — and go even further than they have already by permanently banning this man from their platforms and putting in place policies to prevent their technology from being used by the nation’s leaders to fuel insurrection,” said Michelle Obama in a statement on...
  • Literary survival in an age of tyranny: The F word vs. the law, and legitimacy.

    Literary survival in an age of tyranny: The F word vs. the law, and legitimacy An often repeated quote, almost always mis-attributed to Voltaire, makes an interesting study of itself, in usually being presented as: "Voltaire once wrote: “To find out who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.” Who in American politics are people not allowed to criticize?" https://www.quora.com/Voltaire-once-wrote-%E2%80%9CTo-find-out-who-rules-over-you-simply-find-out-who-you-are-not-allowed-to-criticize-%E2%80%9D-Who-in-American-politics-are-people-not-allowed-to-criticize Legitimizing the quote has required its re-attribution to avoid mentioning, much less wallowing into what it was that drove the real author to think as he did. In current context, that history only amplifies...

    The exclusive transcript of an interview conducted by War Room show host and former White House Chief Strategist Stephen K. Bannon with His Excellency Carlo Maria Viganò, Archbishop. The National Pulse is publishing the interview – which primarily concerns the Catholic Church, the deep state, and the key actors involved – without edits. Bannon: Now that the Vatican has renewed its insidious secret agreement with China, a deal which you have repeatedly condemned as promoted by Bergoglio with the assistance of McCarrick, what can the “children of light” of the Great Awakening concretely do to undermine this unholy alliance with...

    VIDEO I almost fell out of my chair on the morning of January 2 when I looked at the number of views on my latest video uploaded on Rumble. This is in stark contrast to the same video at YouTube where they now rarely promote videos by creators and instead keep shoving legacy media BS at us. So thank you, Rumble, for your refusal to go along with the censorship now so prevalent in social media as well as for promoting videos uploaded by us "peons" that YouTube is trying to suppress or ignore. Oh, and if you are a...

    There was an article on Freerepublic in the past week and I can't find it. An anonymous teen girl is suing the UK government because it is keeping a list of people accused of "hate incidents". It is unfair because it includes people NOT convicted of a crime, and it is searchable by employers and police years later. What is the original source for that?

    American Thinker ^ | December 31, 2020 | Andrea Widburg
    You must pay attention when voices from both left and right come together to express a common concern. In this case, those voices are Glenn Greenwald and Tucker Carlson. Both share dismay at the unprecedented power corporate America has acquired. They are right to be worried. In 1986, I heard Arthur Miller speak in Dallas. This wasn't Arthur Miller, the playwright and husband to Marilyn Monroe, but Arthur Miller, a former Harvard Law professor who is one half of Wright & Miller's Federal Practice and Procedure, possibly the most famous American legal treatise. Professor Miller described the dangers to privacy...

    We were banned from Parler! We are still in shock. After being lured to the platform with the promise of a "free speech town square" we were banned. We received no warning and no explanation. We didn't post anything on our Parler that we didn't also post to FB and Twitter, so it comes as a great shock that PARLER, the one openly calling themselves the "free speech alternative" is the one that bans us. It's been 4 days now and and no response. We've read their TOS and guidelines multiple times and can confirm that we broke none of...

    VIDEOYouTube completely ignores criticism by the very people that made it a success. Its video creators. The "You" in YouTube. So what might make them take notice that their current practices are very destructive to creativity and the free flow of information? Perhaps a one-day strike in which the YouTube creators decline to upload videos while everyone refuses to view YouTube for that one strike day.

    Although technology is helping keep everyone connected while living in isolation, it seems most people are sick and tired of looking at their friends, family, and co-workers through a video screen. A new survey finds six in 10 Americans are currently “Zoomed out” as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The OnePoll survey of 2,000 respondents reveals 61 percent have experienced tech fatigue during the ongoing pandemic. Of that group, 69 percent say their burnout is specifically due to all the time they’re spending on video calls. Commissioned by Vthrive The Vitamin Shoppe CBD, the survey delved into tech fatigue,...

    Last February, Zhang Zhan traveled to Wuhan, China to get a firsthand look at the emerging COVID pandemic. She live-streamed her experiences on social media and wrote essays critical of the government's response to the crisis. She was arrested in May on charges of "picking quarrels and provoking trouble." Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey expressed his regret that "we didn't do more to help neutralize this unfortunate situation. If Ms. Zhang had used our platform we could have deleted her tweets before they went viral. Very few would have seen her videos or read her essays. Quarrels could have been minimized...

Winston Smith thought he could evade the spy TV without an off switch, they were watching him the whole time. The Brave browser automatically uses the anonymous StartPage browser, but that's easily hacked & cracked. Just go off the grid. We'll have to stop using money.

    Just the News ^ | December 15, 2020 | Susan Katz Keating
    Amid recent reports of foreign breaches into U.S. government computer systems, questions have emerged whether hackers manipulated the results of the 2020 elections — and if so, whether that would trigger a White House executive order on responding to such an incursion. The 2018 executive order from President Donald Trump addresses the specter similar to Monday's revelation that Russian hackers had penetrated the Department of Homeland Security. "Although there has been no evidence of a foreign power altering the outcome or vote tabulation in any United States election, foreign powers have historically sought to exploit America’s free and open political...

    So the Treasury Department was “hacked” via a cyber attack. Common sense would tell us to get these critical government offices off of the internet so they can’t be hacked by anyone. Let’s be real. The federal government agencies, along with state and local agencies are generally dumber than a box of rocks when it comes to IT stuff. They always think they are the smartest in the room, when in fact they can’t fight their way out of a wet paper bag.
