Figuring Out Their Angle

Todd Hayen

A federal law was recently passed in Canada called the Online News Act, or Bill C-18. Basically, this bill stops major online giants such as Google or Facebook (Meta) from posting news articles or links from any source deemed a “news outlet.”

For example, when I post a link to an article I’ve written that OffGuardian, the link disappears from my Facebook feed and a blurb shows up that says this link is blocked from Canadian readers. (UPDATE: I am barred from even posting links to articles from any news source because I am Canadian.)

Apparently others, in other countries, can see it, but no Canuckistani citizens can. Even though OffGuardian doesn’t give a hoot in hell if their articles show up on FB without compensation (an assumption on my part). In fact, I would assume they would encourage it as that is how they increase circulation.

The lawmakers claim that this bill was designed to protect the news source, such as The Washington Post, The New York Times, or even alternative news sources like the one I just mentioned, from lost revenue. The writers of the bill, coming straight from their big hearts of love and concern, claim they are looking out for the big news outlets as well as the little guy by blocking social media, including Google, from freely distributing their proprietary property: The News.

Right.

First of all, I have never heard a complaint from Big News about people posting links to their online pages. And surely they can all take care of themselves, as they do when they put up paywalls and limit the articles a person can read before having to purchase a subscription. Do they really need the government looking out for their interests?

I think these guys know how to market and how to advertise and how to effectively use the internet to sell their product. Censorship? Oh no, no, no, that’s not it at all!! “We are trying to make a law that is fair, thus correcting something that has not been fair for a long time.” Ha ha.

Seems like this fits the old adage “if it looks like a duck, if it walks like a duck, if it quacks like a duck, it is a duck.” Or “you can dress a pig up in satin and lace, but it’s still a pig”—Ergo: “if it looks like censorship, reads like censorship, and has the overall effect of censorship, then it is censorship.” Do they really think we can’t see through this?

I remember the old Cheech and Chong joke (remember them? If you are ancient like me, you will) “Two guys walking down the road see a pile of dog poop. One says, “hey that looks like dog poop.” Then he bends over and touches it. He says, “feels like dog poop.” The other bends over and sniffs it. Says, “smells like dog poop.” Then he sticks his finger in it and tastes it. He says, “tastes like dog poop.” The other one says, “Well, good thing we didn’t step in it!!”

This applies to most sheep (sorry! I used that damn word again!) I mean really, folks. You all do your little “vetting”…“does this look legit? Does mommy and daddy government say this is good for us?” Along with a few other “tastes, touches, and feels” and then you all determine it is just fine (when I say “you” I don’t mean all of you reading this, I don’t think YOU fall for it. And I know the Cheech and Chong analogy doesn’t really fit but twist it around a little bit and you’ll see why I thought of it.)

I use this example to illustrate the fact that many indeed can’t see through to the dog poop. As amazing as it seems, this sort of thing flies right past the sheep-types. If one of these poor mindless creatures came home to a house that was being bulldozed and were told by the government, “we think a spy lived in your house 20 years ago and we want to make sure he doesn’t come back,” they would shrug their shoulders and look for a refrigerator box under the freeway to bed down in that night. Nothing fazes them. It is all ok if Big Brother says it is ok. Big Brother obviously knows what is best, and he is always looking after us.

Sorry to those sensitive ones out there, I am being mean to our fluffy friends. Trust me, I still love them.

Just for yucks, here is the Facebook explanation blurb they pull up when you click “learn more.”

I love the last line: “My comment has been labeled as sharing news content. What can I do?” And the answer is, “Shut the f-ck up and follow the rules, you little pissant!!” Nice.

If you look at the actual bill, it is interesting how the focus is entirely on this ruse of protecting the news source and plays this game of “good guy” trying to do what is fair by the poor hapless news purveyors. “Big bad Facebook is stealing your property, and we are here to protect you.” If that were really the truth, why not make a law that requires the “news intermediaries” (Facebook, Google, et al) to pay a statutory fee for news they present on their pages. No, no, no, instead they just deny the link some poor bonehead (like me) innocently puts on his Facebook feed—they censor it so no one sees it and puts up a disclaimer so all can see what they are pretending they are up to.

Since all the big legacy news sources are in on the whole agenda, they don’t care at all. It doesn’t do them any good, nor does it do them any harm. They already have their paywalls, their subscription requirements, all Facebook et al to them is free advertising. It is, in fact, the smaller alternative news sources that will suffer greatly. They depend on the “intermediaries” to spread their word, which often is in contradiction to the mainstream media, i.e., the news they report is actual truth. This is the real target of C-18 —“misinformation”—again, i.e. the actual truth.

Sheep don’t care about any of this. In fact, even if they knew the prime directive was to keep truth from the public, they would be all for it. The truth, to sheep, is viewed as misinformation and thus it is typically annoying. Anything that ruffles their natural wool coats is to be avoided. None of them wants to take any sort of responsibility. It’s just easier that way.

Many have said in the past that the “angle” the big boys take is to entice with the carrot, and then whack with the stick.

Bill C-18 is a case in point. But have you noticed how the carrot is becoming less and less sweet?

I have read that this is typical as well. Pretty soon there will just be a stick. No carrot. The carrot in this example is more of a neutral sort of thing. It isn’t really enticing, but it also isn’t pure stick. They have disguised their little C-18 bill by pretending it is about something it isn’t.

The carrot isn’t as sweet as usual because having news articles you post on FB just ripped out of your feed is not very appealing. But at least they have what seems to be a fair reason—or is it? Point being, the carrot and the stick are disguised as something they are not.

Many fall for it and just shrug their shoulders figuring it is some copyright thing no one in the free world has ever quite understood anyway, and we’re done with it. Whatever. We are slowly being acclimated to the brave new world where it will be stick only.

The march toward totalitarianism rambles on, like Sherman’s “scorched earth” March to the Sea during the American Civil war—this march toward censorship and dictatorship is a march of utter destruction of freedoms and rights, designed to leave us destitute and hopeless—only right now the scorching is a little disguised, soon it won’t be so much. Bill C-18 has upped the ante a notch or two. This law is much more than it seems.

When we see what’s happening outside the political arena (supposedly outside that cesspool), it’s easier to see how they expect to get away with abject censorship.

The Nobel Prize – which of course has been little more than a joke since Mr. Obama received the Prize for Peace Oct. 9, 2009 – went (for Medicine) to Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman for their “discoveries” leading to the Clot Shot.

When the most prestigious “Prize” in human history goes to enablers of mass murder, censorship almost looks like a cakewalk.

Posting anything (links) beyond funny cat videos on social media, especially FB is a completele waste of time because it will be shadow banned or covered with a notice claiming going to the link will destroy your computer and you will also be investigated by some agencies for viewing the linked content.

However, a workaround is to paste a Headline and juicy section of the article along with clear information on where to find the article.

Yes, you are right. But the point is that they are censoring, the value of the platform they are censoring on is irrelevant. It is still blatant censorship, and that is the problem.

Thanks for the workaround…of course most people will not bother. Personally I don’t post anything on FB except articles from my substack and from OG, which is where I first encountered the problem.

For me censorship means you want to hide other angles to an event for a solo show of your own.

Trudeau wants to hide plenty: the foreknowledge of the NAZI they applauded in parliament the other day, 5 Ayes contacts with assassinated terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, illegal immigration facilitation for cash, his WEF life etc.

Since Twitter/X (Twix?) is 95% news content, it’ll be much harder to implement than on FB/Meta. What if the “news source” is a comedy platform, like the Jimmy Dore show? Should we all just become comedians, commenting on clown world?

If they want to weaponize compassion, we can weaponize comedy. Del Bigtree gave one of his best interviews here, talking about this “because we care” wolf in sheep’s clothing:

Why should it always be about me me me being censored by FB or government and not about the capitalist system having crises and not being able to serve everybody as we suppose it to do? Also, not being published by a privately owned social networking service, within the regime of private lucrative property of which many however accept the principle, is IMO not equivalent to a breach of freedom of speech in the proper sense of the expression, as meaning being free to speak one’s mind, directly, not necessarily in a mediated way.

To clarify the point, believing that not being published by technological media is equivalent to being prevented from speaking one’s mind is the same as believing that being refused glasses and other industrial containers is equivalent to being prevented from drinking water. That industrial and technological developments molded our way of life is true but shouldn’t make us forget that those developments are stages of History have a beginning and thus are not absolute. We shouldn’t forget what speaking one’s mind means and has always meant, intimately connected with us as a species endowed with language.

Examples of true breach of freedom of speech abound in history nevertheless, for instance Stalinist Russia where one thought it up several times and looked around carefully before opening one’s mouth.

What we are witnessing here in my view has nothing particularly to do with us; it is a yet new spectacular display of contradictions within Capital.

AFAIK, the story goes like this: Canadian News industry, as distinguished from social media networking, is in bad shape (pdf from Canadian Local News Research Project) and wants, in times of global crisis, to settle accounts with its competitors, be bailed out, or whatever. The specific situation is that the public is mostly accessing the news through search engines or social media rather than going directly to the website of the news, with reason though for, generally, the information on the news website is behind a paywall or only a minimum view is accessible. But there being alternative ways to access that content elsewhere from contributors in massively accessed places, people just go to a search engine and type what they are looking for; also, even free content is likely, as by a reflex, accessed through social media where some users publish it or link to it. The point is that traffic is drawn away from the digital News platforms to mass social media platforms and search engines. Notice one, among many contradictions: social media and search engines are first choice method to make a company, in this case News outlets, known and traffic to that effect is a godsend; it’s a marketing tool; but int these times of malaria, they are perceived as “unhealthy” competitors sucking traffic away. You see, perception varies depending on whether there is or there is no money.
 
So people in the News industry are saying to government: “Look here, we are a bunch of hard working people here trying to make a living with a hell of added value (yes I know, they produce government approved, agenda driven, scaremongering, warmongering information, etc, but that doesn’t change the fact it’s an entreprise with the constraints inherent to capitalism), then all that hard work gets repackaged into links and made available in search engines and social media (a good thing and a bad thing at the same time as Capital fancies) which profit from each click on the link without adding any value to our production. We want a piece of that revenue.” So the government set up a legal framework (C-18 bill) within which News production firms can negotiate with technological social media networking the pecuniary right of the latter to make revenue out of the former’s labour without adding value to it. This bill dates from April 2022.
 
Note that it is not the Canadian government that is preventing people from posting News links; it is social media (FB in this case) that finally refused to share its revenue from traffic (no value added and practically no cost incurred that is) of News content (some of it at least) and therefore simply disabled sharing such content to avoid infringing the law. As indicated below, it is “in response to Canadian government legislation,” that “news content can’t be shared,” which sounds like it’s the government’s fault but is really nothing more than one instance, within the regime of lucrative private property, of the right not to be subjected to a legislation by opting out of its conditions of application.
 
This is a result of the necessary contradictions within capitalism whereby “sharing”, from being a marketing tool, is perceived as a tool of “unfair” competition, as a result of previous developments (the medical theatre). This also shows the only interest, however disguised as a “service”, these companies (both of them) have and must have within this regime, and therefore we shouldn’t be surprised when their actions don’t conform to their discourse.

There’s one fly sitting in the “private property” ointment – and it’s a big one.

Those who set the stage for censorship also happen to be the very ones working day and night to make sure the Internet with its plethora of privately held concerns is the ONLY means of self-expression left on Earth.

Try standing on a street corner speaking truth to power. It’s no longer possible – you’d be arrested five minutes into your manifesto for disturbing the peace. Or placing flyers on windshields – your flyers’d be crumpled and thrown on the ground.

“We have a perfectly good Internet for that sort of thing!” they will say. And then turn around and make it impossible for you to use that Internet as your mouthpiece by playing the “private property” card.”

That’s the contradiction inherent within lucrative private property: Commodities have two contradictory values: use-value and exchange-value. The commodity must be useful, wanted and cheap enough to be sold, whose usefulness mustn’t decline over time (by concocting new uses); at the same time, there must be room enough to adapt the commodity or its use so as to remain profitable, in response to independent conditions such as the larger economic context. So they do everything to make our stay online enjoyable and useful (that, they amply achieved IMO), but they must preset strict rules that limit our use, the most important one being securing their right to change the rules.
 
That’s why our use of the Internet is felt like a catch-22 or a stalemate situation. In any event, it’s the word “censorship” in the case of our (voluntary) use of their services that I take exception to, instead of, say, rules of use.
 
Well, it’s past time we stood on that box in a public square and spoke our mind to power!!! Seriously! Instead of whining like spoiled children over Zuckerberg or Musk not conceding to us the publication of a string of 0’s and 1’s. If we’re taken away, as it is happening already, then that’s it, censorship that is, but at least it’s worth it, and we’d know where we stand. That’s where things are heading anyway.

Now the big fishes (social media, where the money is) are having scraps with the little fishes (news business, the poor parent). It’s fated.

Look on the bright side. Perhaps we’ll be inspired to actually meet and talk with sheep in person, face to face, heart and soul to heart and soul . . . rather than just sharing links on social media and thinking we are helping dismantle the machine.

No. I think that we need to get outside it. In the real. Facebook is a big dollop of molasses in which frenzied ‘truthers’ beat their wings in fervent dissemination. Only to wither up, spent and disillusioned. I have some personal experience with this. Sharing shit online gets us almost nowhere. I’ve taken to direct conversation with others, and it has a real effect. Hearts and minds are best connected to with all the faculties and appendages that make us living beings. The 6 senses, the material reality of us. Not the bullshit text blob or image repost that you’re reduced to online, here in these ‘spaces.

So, fuck C-18. Yep, it’s a shit sandwich. But pushing us out of the crappy online limited hangouts and back into the real, is a good thing, IMO.

Could it be you can’t even post links to external sources any more on FB because social media (and other??) platforms are now being threatened with hefty fines, 5% of their annual world-wide profit, if I remember correctly, if they permit the posting of so-called misinformation?

In this case, it would be easier for the platform to disable the posting of any content that isn’t just photos of your McD meal and such. Heck, why stop there!

Well, more than likely this is one of the reasons cited for this move. But it is of course bogus. This is mass, broad, censorship…”with a good reason” of course. And yes, who cares about FB. But considering that many people do get their “news” from the platform, this is an effort to clean it up. It is so “Brave New World”…keep everyone stupid…pacified…looking at only cat’s a McD meals…that’s the real point to all of this.

I would rather have a “all news” out there than “no news”…the agenda will still find its way into the collective psyche whether that is on FB or not. The contrary news, the truth, will have a much harder time getting out there. Garbage will get out there as well, but then we are expected to have enough common sense to dismiss that for ourselves. We don’t need mommy and daddy to do it for us.

For those who have not dug down deep into the details of the covid op, the following interview is a must read. Sasha Latypova is remarkable for her knowledge, hard work, and clarity of expression, particularly as English is not her native tongue.

I found this excerpt toward the end of the interview remarkable.

Mr. Jekielek: You’ve been in the middle of the biopharmaceutical industrial complex. You’re aware of its size and power. Did you think twice about disclosing these things as you started?
Ms. Latypova: I don’t worry about it. If they wanted to kill me, they would kill me, but that doesn’t concern me. Because the evil that has unfolded in the past three years is unfathomable to most people. They prefer to deny it, rather than to deal with it. I don’t want to deny it.
I want people to have the knowledge that I do from my professional background and to understand what’s going on. In fact, we have been successful so far, because the uptick in these shots now is practically zero. There’s a huge distrust of the pharmaceutical industry and of the health authorities.

I would suggest that you pass it on to any acquaintance who has an even vaguely open mind to the reality of what has occurred.

Perhaps the solution to this is not to participate in any of these Deep State social media. Facebook was developed by DARPA as Lifelog, and when it felt it was ready for prime time, they turned it over to the nothingburger nerd, Suckaturd, as their frontman. Google was developed by the CIA venture capital arm, In-Q-Tel. I think Corbett has the right approach. Let the Sheep enjoy their pablum in peace.

The “lawmakers” are not on our side nor do they have our best interests at heart. Sadly we are caught in the grip of a deadly vice: we are dependent upon the government for “protection” and other services while we are obligated to pay taxes for this protection and service but the plutocrats have totally high jacked the government (they always had major influence on policy). The fact is, we are being betrayed daily by the miscreants in the ruling class. Follow the money to see who this benefits.

The fact that some Ukrainians collaborated with Nazis is no secret, but it’s been whitewashed and even celebrated in Canada
https://forward.com/news/562504/yaroslav-hunka-anthony-rota-canada-ukraine-nazis/

Daria Kubijovych was Ukraine’s chief collaborator with Hans Frank, the Nazi governor of occupied Poland. Kubijovych played a crucial role in convincing the Third Reich to create SS Galichina.

(What they skirt is that Galicia’s Nazi commander, while Canada’s most famous SS alumni was on duty in Ukraine, was Ursula von der Leyen’s forebear by marriage.

His full name was Freiherr Joachim Dedo Otto Georg Dietrich Adolf von der Leyen zu Bloemersheim. The family made its fortune in the textile business.

So did the patriarch of the Quandt family, Emile. Another Nazi in the garment trade.)

In comparison to Kubijovych, Rudling said, Hunka is “small fry.”

Trouble is, figuring out their angle just inspires them to come up with a new angle. Case in point, specifically regarding the mRNA vaxx, per the “link.”

The irony is, geoengineering already uses polymers to carry aluminum et al to the sky.

FWIW, here’s my take: ALL science MUST be halted or humanity is doomed. No more namby-pamby “good science/bad science.” At this state in our species’ existence ALL science is bad. (Though it’s actually doubtful that this latest academic madness will work at all.)

This is a lot more insidious than just ‘protecting news organizations’ interests’. I don’t share news and magazine articles often but I occasionally come across something interesting that I can’t describe in a sentence or so — so just reference the article.

(For example:- https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/09/airlines-banks-mileage-programs/675374/ )

But then I don’t use Facebook. This really isn’t a good platform to share ideas and information on because its the epitome of Big Brother — FB likes to know all about you and your friends, ostensibly to sell you a better detergent but in reality to sell you propaganda and so shape your perception of the world.

Extreme Weather Fluctuations as the Climate Reacts to Geoengineering

“Global geoengineering/weather modification programs are completely disrupting the planets natural weather patterns from top to bottom. The entire climate system is so totally out of balance at this point that it is swinging radically from one extreme to another. These massive fluctuations are being “forced” by the global climate/weather modification programs known as “solar radiation management” (SRM) and “stratospheric aerosol geoengineering” (SAG).”

It’s always about money. Mammon worshippers have nothing else.

When their money is gone, their power is gone, and they know it. They know the end is coming.

Yet they’re still trying to save themselves, meaning their money.

Since money is all about believing, the power of money doesn’t really exist. Money, in itself, is non-existent.

Those who don’t know what money is can succumb to its power. Money is a method of violence, so those who have it can use their money to kill other people. Kill their freedom, including freedom of speech. Kill their lives, since only those with money can have a life. All wars and famines are created by money to kill people.

Those who believe in money hardly ever know what money is and they don’t even want to think about it. The brainwashing is deep. Love of money instead of their own life makes people take these vaccines that are poisons, makes people kill other people, makes people slaves for money. So money is anti-life. It’s been created by the Devil itself for this purpose: to make you its slave or to kill you.

The false god of Mammon is only one of the false gods. But all false gods are false. None of them is true. None of them is good. None of them is real. And when people are believing in these big lies, false gods, they have no truth in them.

But, here’s the good news: truth exists, truth is real and truth is good.

At least recognize the cycle of money:

Here are the 7 stages of wealth that have been used for centuries since the Roman era to extract wealth from nations and concentrate power into the hands of a select few.

1. “Good” Money –
Every major empire starts out with “good” money, either gold or backed by gold.

2. Social Programs –
As a country develops economically/socially, it takes on more public works, adding layer upon layer

3.Military Spending –
As a nation’s affluence grows, so does it’s political influence and spends massively on the military

4. Wars –
Nation puts military to use and expenditures explode and nations go to war

5. Fiat Currency –
To fund the wars, the costliest of endeavors, nations go off the gold standard start spending trillions on defense spending

6. Inflation –
Wealth transfer begins as hyperinflation sets in; Price of all commodities and goods go up.

7. Wealth Transfer-
Final stage, in mass movement, nation moves out of the currency and into precious metals and other tangible assets. The currency collapses. This results in massive wealth transfer to those who positioned themselves in the right asset class in advance.

This cycle is predictable. Now we are headed back to the gold standard.

As for me, I use FB to keep in touch with hundreds of friends all over the world I would otherwise not be in touch with. I really could take it or leave it other than that. Many of these friends are people on our side of things. And although the censorship is expected inevitably, it is still concerning to see it come about in this form. But yes, what difference does it really make…we are all doomed, and I suppose I should just shut up about it.

The management of news carries on with the apparently endless drones of information management, the egregious Naomi Klein being one. Here she delivers the desperately needed moral lesson to guide us back to the path of truth, beauty and harmony:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/naomi-klein-russell-brand-tate-b2419533.html

The Emmanuel Goldsteins are Russell Brand and Andrew Tate. But mainly Brand whose hour in the stocks has clearly come. And with the mandatory psychologising, Klein delivers the lesson:

“Of course, Russell Brand’s followers deny the allegations. He has groomed an audience to deny/disbelieve everything they see and hear, which is very different from healthy scepticism. This knee-jerk denialism is precisely why people with plenty of skeletons in the closet love conspiracy culture: they have a built-in defense against accountability.”

Very interesting. Those who are speaking out are distasteful individuals with “skeletons in the closet” who must be “made accountable”!

Now this is concerning:

“Discussing her recently published best-selling book Doppelganger, Klein explained the book begins from the “personal jumping off point” of exploring the fact she is “perennially confused with” Naomi Wolf. She explained Wolf, a feminist writer, has gone from being part of the “liberal establishment” to being a doppelganger of “her former self” – now engaging in anti-vaccine conspiracy theories.

Wolf, who was suspended from Twitter in 2021 after disseminating misinformation about the Covid crisis, had her most recent book Outrages revoked and pulped in America after concerns emerged about inaccuracies.”

A book burning, no less!

More wisdom from Klein:

“(Wolf) is now somebody who is one of a not insignificant cohort of ex-liberals and leftists who have flipped to the right, particularly during the pandemic”

And what’s wrong with “conspiracy theories”?

“Discussing the broader question of why conspiracy theories are so appealing to some people, Klein argued this is partly to do with the “cartoonish” solutions they invoke which involve arresting “all the bad guys”.

Klein added: “Whereas, on the left, we’re offering a systemic critique, and that actually is quite frightening in the sense of telling people that we are up against really entrenched forces. It’s the system itself. It’s not a few aberrant individuals and that means that we can only really do anything about it through a lot of hard work and organising and political change.””

Exciting!

But let’s cut the crap. We know that Klein is a venal liar backing undeniable scams (the unholy trinity of covid, climate and transgenderism). Therefore we know that her plea for a systemic solution is pure bullshit. This view of “entrenched forces” needing all that hard work to dislodge is therefore a device to negate actual change because the hard work she is really proposing will be a futile engagement with meaningless displays of glamorous and utterly manufactured protests involving disruptions which will only affect the general public whilst any true voices of dissent will be trashed by the likes of Klein.

World Government

Trashing gender and gender roles is an old bankster agenda. It started with the suffragette movement which was opposed by women and men where ever it was being imposed. The suffragettes were warmongers during the banksters’ WW1, the first war for oil and for Israel. It is ironic that neither men or women in the colonies could vote at this time. Voting is in any case a waste of time.

This fellow in the 1930’s Weimar republic (Hirschfeld ?) started the genital mutilation of people. His clinic and his books were rightly torched by the “nazis”. After WW2 the promotion of “sex change” surgery was promoted by the bankster media in earnest, the promotion ratcheted up decade by decade. At the same time “radical feminists” intensified their attacks on gender roles. This media and Hollyweird and “entertainment” industry offensive has got us to the insane point we are at now. It is funny that feminists are now taken aback by the current excesses they helped to create.

Supporting bankster cultural offensives is naive at best and raises suspicion of collaboration. Never forget that feminists and the “LGBTQ” crowd backed convid to the hilt. Convid was, and is the banksters’ most sinister offensive against the populave.

The scam of it is feeling the need to indoctrinate CHILDREN with “trans ideology” before they’re even half old enough to know what that truly means. The scam is making a child a lifelong pharmaceutical “customer” and telling small children that there is something inherently wrong with them that must be fixed and only a god in a white coat can fix them. The scam is millions of dollars in surgeries, treatments, side effects, etc., not to mention long term injuries that no one will even dare to discuss.

I have full understanding for an adult that comes to the conclusion their true gender differs from the one they are born with. An adult making that decision is their personal choice. Creating mass confusion in small children is not the choice of the child but of a supposedly adult world that needs to tell them something is fundamentally wrong with them. And if those children wish to fit in in this new world, they’d best accept the fact that their only hope is the glorious “medical salvation” of “gender affirming care” so benevolently “offered” to them by Pharma, et al.

And I’m sorry, there IS an agenda at work here. Pharma profits being the glaring elephant in the room that should at the very least be considered. Do we really think our medical establishment and corporate pharmaceutical entities have our best interests at heart? Or those of our children?

It is a much more complex issue than merely labeling someone transphobic or whatever pejorative you wish to apply to them for questioning just how this is all being used. And there is indeed a highly misogynistic agenda in saying women are no longer needed to produce children. Would you appreciate being labeled a TERF for questioning whether this is really all just about “inclusion” instead of the good old divide and conquer bullshit? I don’t.

And that puts a nice target on the guy community for hate, the hate generated by fear for their own kids. Read Hannah arendt on the creation of a special privileged group and totalitarianism. Not a pretty picture and again, all about divide and conquer as well as creation of scapegoats.

It’s time to disavow all of the “radical” Trans agenda. It was a parastical cuckoo term which absorbed the LGB and negated it. And the agents of this move were groomed to stridently denounce any attempt to remove the “T” term because they, or their handlers, knew full well that the “T” was the centre of the scam.

Oh good Lord, the hypersexualization of young children?
Like Barbie Dolls? What does everyone remember most about a Barbie Doll? I’m going to bet the folks at Mattel were by and large heterosexual.
No one does hypersexualization of everyone, young and old, better than heterosexuals.
You are right. There is a target on a back. That’s the whole point. They just keeping picking backs to put those targets on.
Whether you choose to be unvaccinated, or you choose to decide your sexuality.
You become a target. Of someone.

Isn’t it nice how all those ‘really entrenched forces’ freely allow Naomi Klein to agitate against them on their own media platforms! I mean, it’s a miracle she hasn’t been censored by now, isn’t it? 😉

Thank you for including enough of Ms. Klein’s epistle to make it clear what she’s doing. Namely, throwing a few common sense items (like the “problem” being entrenched – which it certainly is) with many speculative items (like her all too obvious take-down of Naomi Wolf) into the same pot and expecting the resulting stew to look somehow edible.

In Doppelganger, Naomi Klein scapegoats Naomi Wolf for the sins of Klein’s father
Talk about living in denial!

“In order to stand with us, Ms. Klein would have to repudiate her father’s career, acknowledge her own possible role in her child’s disability (for believing in the trustworthiness of felonious corporations), and work alongside her former adversaries to overthrow the Fascist Pharma State (as Dr. Wolf is doing) — while raising a special needs child. And it’s all too much. So her personality split and she projected upon Dr. Wolf all of the hurt, rage, and pain that she was likely feeling towards herself, her father, and the system that betrayed her.

THAT’S the shadow that needs to be integrated. It’s not that Dr. Wolf is a fascist, it’s that Ms. Klein, the world’s foremost expert on disaster capitalism inadvertently slid into Pharma fascism herself and does not know how to extricate herself from the fact that she was tricked by the most vile aspect of global monopoly capitalism. Ms. Klein spent her life battling the dragon of capitalism and then it found her weak spot — the trusted advice of her pediatrician — and now her world is upside down.”

Last night, after I noticed I wasn’t getting any results back from a query in my browser search engine (I think they have some kind of lease-like relationship with both ‘big-G’ and ‘big-B.’ [No free advertising here, eh?]), I decided to try “dogpile” search engine.
Remember, this was strictly an experiment, from the start, using a leading “privacy” browser.
What I tried to look up were Russian battlefield videos, so I entered

watch russians destroy u

However, before I entered anything more than you see in that line

watch russians destroy u

The auto-fill, drop-down menu provided an extensive list OF EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE, such as

watch ukraine destroy russia
video shows ukraine destroy
ukrainian forces destroy russian
ukrainian troops destroy
russian destroyed in ukraine
ukraine forces destroy russian
russia destroyed by ukraine
ukrainians destroying russian targets

The only way I was able to defeat the inversion was to use an online translator then copy, paste and enter the same question in a variety of ther languages.
This barely improved the results.
How do I know?
I checked by copying the summarizing foreign language text into the translator, and reading the English translation.
The fix is in, all ’round, one way or another, everything is under surveillance and censorship, as is always the case during war, and this is a war on the imagination, A TOTAL WAR ON IMAGINATION, against individual autonomy, free speech, free inquiry, free association, free thought, the control of information against individual liberty and national sovereignty.
We are in a state of domestic occupation.

True, you’re right about that, it was getting on my nerves, and so I was hoping — stupidly, knowing better — somehow to find a loophole. Instead, I found, maybe, a pinhole, if.

You can easily disable autofill on firefox, it’s a known security/privacy issue on all browsers btw. (loads of articles about it if you search).

Also beware of google translate, I translated a Turkish substack article talking about Ukraine that had quoted the famous Newland phonecall, which spat out “The EU is really nice” lol

For Russian war propaganda try https://southfront.press/ the original site was deleted from the international Domain Name Servers in an attempt to close them down (with zero outcry from the .alt media) so it’s probably a good source from the Russian perspective. RT is still on Odysee too.

There’s loads of russian war porn channels on Telegram, I don’t use telegarm but sometimes you can see the channels in a browser, tho it seems this functionality is less and less available thesedays, here’s one channel that will lead to posts from other channels https://t.me/Slavyangrad/

Off-G, in my opinion, isn’t a news site, so shouldn’t be subject to these restrictions. Similarly for many ‘alt-right’ sites. If (big if) this can be recognised, then the MSM will be the big losers under this Act. So not all bad after all!
