How the EU Killed Elon Musk’s Twitter “Amnesty”

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Note that Breton’s tweet and the introductory post to his Mastodon thread both indeed call on Musk to “significantly reinforce content moderation,” thus making clear that the Commission not only disapproves of the prospect of banned accounts being restored, but also of the relatively more laissez-faire attitude that Musk has thus far adopted toward current users.

The Absurdity of Lockdowners Who Support China’s Anti-Lockdown Protests

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Xi Jinping sees the concepts of democracy and human rights as mere propaganda that western elites use to further their own self-interest. So long as they approve of a policy, then it’s not a human rights violation, but if they oppose it, then it is.

New Emails Chronicle Lab-Leak Coverup in Real Time

The picture is increasingly coming into focus. The Chinese Government, Fauci & Co and many within the U.S. intelligence community and biodefence network are covering up the origin of the virus and frustrating efforts to investigate it because they are themselves implicated in the research that likely created it and because they do not want biodefence research discredited.

Twitter Won’t Be Free Until Covid Dissidents Are

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

What about the non-celebrity accounts with tens of thousands instead of hundreds of thousands of followers? What about ordinary people?

On the other side of the fourth wall, the confrontation between Lawson and Doc Tracy, played by former UCLA anesthesiologist, Dr. Christopher Rake, took place on December 6, 2021. Two days later on December 8, Lawson took to Twitter to condemn Rake and the medical freedom organization that produced the show, America’s Frontline Doctors, then went on a media blitz the following week, making appearances on CNN and MSNBC to characterize the confrontation as an attempt to intimidate and terrorize.

Facebook Works to Deliver Us From Truth

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Facebook’s aim is not to make their users safe. Their aim is to make them feel they are safe, to prevent them from discovering challenging information, prevent them from thinking. They are the apostles of a new god, and his followers do not ask him to deliver them from evil, they ask him to deliver them from truth.

Small Steps Toward Truth and Justice

Did anyone really believe on the eve of the sixth lockdown that it would last only as announced? Or did we all suspect another lie? This is a much harder lesson to take – it opens up uncomfortable lines of enquiry such as “what else did /do they lie about?”  From there it is a short step to demanding that there be accountability for the lies – and further, that every future announcement is challenged.
