Let me preface this post by saying I’m not a big fan of Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas). He has positioned himself right in the thick of the neocon globalist camp of the GOP alongside Lindsey Graham and those types. In short, he’s a servant of the military-industrial complex and has never met a foreign war he didn’t like or want to spend our tax dollars fomenting.
But anyone who delivers a smack down to the lying, ever-scheming corporate media deserves kudos for putting them in their place.
And Cotton did just that on in a recent interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker.
Western media stays mum on the biggest story of the century and Americans remain fixated and distracted by petty politics and whether Haitians are eating cats in Ohio. It’s just a matter of time — days or perhaps hours — before the Biden administration approves Ukraine’s use of U.S. missiles to strike daggers deep into the heart of Russia: Putin has removed all confusion, saying such action amounts to a de facto declaration of war against the nuclear-armed 1,100-year-old sovereign state of Russia. He will respond in kind.
It appears to be a matter of when, not if, the Biden administration grants approval for Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied long-range ATACMS missiles against Russia.
These missiles were sent by the U.S. to Ukraine about a year ago but with restrictions that they could not be launched into Russia proper. The British sent their Storm Shadow missiles with similar restrictions. But now the rules of the game are about to change and I see no sense of urgency by the Western media to explain the potential consequences to everyday Americans, Canadians and Europeans. They’d rather report on cat-eating Haitians and the latest political salvo between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
The government of Ukraine is leveraging the country’s war-time footing to fully digitize its citizenry with biometric digital IDs capable of tracking and controlling a large portion of human activity.
And, according to a prominent American think tank, Ukraine’s digital ID app, called Diia (pronounced Diya), is increasingly viewed as a model for other nations.
The global crackdown on free speech continues unabated and if you think it’s relegated to countries like China, Cuba and North Korea, think again.
A Brazilian Supreme Court panel on Monday upheld a decision to suspend Elon Musk’s social media platform X in the country.
Last Friday, Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the platform blocked.
Since the decision, Musk and his supporters have tried to paint de Moraes as a renegade and an authoritarian censor of political speech. But Brazil is no outlier. The European Union is also cracking down on free speech with its Online Service Act and we have our own free-speech haters here in the United States.
In fact, one of them is a candidate for president.
Kamala Harris came out in 2019 and admitted in the wide open that she wants to see the same type of state-sponsored censorship implemented in the United States as what we now see taking shape in Brazil.
Mark Zuckerberg says he suddenly “regrets” that his company, Meta, bowed to the Biden regime’s pressure to censor content on Facebook, saying in a letter that the interference was “wrong” and he plans to push back if it happens again.
Should we take him seriously? Is this a genuine mia culpa?
According to an article in Politico, Zuckerberg aired his grievances in a letter Monday to the House Judiciary Committee in response to its investigation into content moderation on online platforms. Zuckerberg detailed how senior administration officials leaned on the company to censor certain posts about Covid-19, including humor and satire, and “expressed a lot of frustration” when the social media platform resisted.
Zuckerberg wrote:
“I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it. I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards due to pressure from any Administration in either direction — and we’re ready to push back if something like this happens again.”
Zuckerberg also expressed regret in the letter for his company’s disgusting effort to memory-hole content related to coverage by the New York Post about Hunter Biden ahead of the 2020 election. This is the story, you will remember, that the FBI falsely warned may have been planted as “Russian disinformation.”
“It’s since been made clear that the reporting was not Russian disinformation, and in retrospect, we shouldn’t have demoted the story,” he wrote.
Republicans on the committee, led by Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, celebrated the letter in a long series of posts on X, calling it a “big win for free speech.”
But is it? What, if anything, is Congress going to do about this revelation of guilt, which proves what we already knew about how the government outsources its violations of the First Amendment to its partners in the private sector known as Big Tech.
Robert F. Kennedy has an active lawsuit against the federal government and has explained to Tucker Carlson in a recent interview just how involved the feds were in monitoring the social media platforms and then pressuring them to delete or downplay information that the government didn’t want American citizens to know. It didn’t even matter if the information was true. In fact, it was the truth about Covd and the 2020 election that the government feared the most.
In the video below, fast-forward to the 15:47 mark and listen for the next five minutes or so.
If you look at Zuckerberg’s history, he tends to play ball with whatever government holds the reins of power. He cooperates with Chinese communists as easily as he does American globalists. Whatever he needs to do to keep raking in the billions.
Perhaps this is why Zuckerberg decided to come clean at this moment in time. He knows RFK Jr. has teamed up with Trump and the super-lawyer RFK will bring the receipts to the table regarding government censorship if given half a chance. What if Trump wins and makes RFK his attorney general? If Trump wins, Zuckerberg can now say he’s come clean and changed course. This is Zuckerberg covering all his bases. He is no friend of the First Amendment.

“Internet platforms have a powerful incentive to please important federal officials, and the record in this case shows that high-ranking officials skillfully exploited Facebook’s vulnerability… Not surprisingly these efforts bore fruit. Facebook adopted new rules that better conformed to the officials’ wishes, and many users who expressed disapproved views about the pandemic or COVID–19 vaccines were ‘deplatformed’ or otherwise injured.”—Justice Samuel Alito, dissentingin Murthy v. Missouri
Dr. Robert Malone is calling for people to “rise up” and resist the evil powers that are using “psychological warfare” to fundamentally change human nature.
I have been reporting about this for exactly four years, warning people that it was coming and to prepare for the day when you won’t be able to buy or sell unless you submit to a biometric digital ID based on a scan of your eyeballs, your palm, or some other unique physical feature. Whoever submits to a biometric digial ID is accepting a sinister system designed for one reason and one reason only — to inventory and control every human being on the planet through the power of artificial intelligence.
Do not be fooled, the globalist game plan unfolding in the U.K. is the same plan they have for the United States of America. It all revolves around weaponized immigration.
Schools in the United Kingdom will begin teaching students about so-called “misinformation” and the dangers of “extremist content” as the nation continues to devolve into violent street riots fueled by Islamic migrants.
According to Fox News, the new initiative will indoctrinate students on how to discern real information from fake news, by embedding “critical thinking” into the school curriculum, including English and math classes.
Not actual critical thinking, mind you, just thinking that’s critical of the truth. A better word for it would be brainwashing or sensitivity training.
They wouldn’t want young Brits to grow up and be like the 61-year-old English man who was just sentenced to 18 months in prison for questioning the authority of Allah. Such indescretions cost him his freedom for the next year and a half.
On July 31 at a protest outside of Downing Street, David Spring, a lifelong British citizen, pointed his finger at police and yelled “who the f**k is Allah?” He then told the officers they are “no longer English.”
Zero Hedge reports that the punishment meted out to Mr. Spring is the latest “shocking example of how low the bar has now been set in terms of free speech in response to rioting that occurred after the murder of three girls in Southport last month.”
Notes Paul Joseph Watson for Zero Hedge:
“While Spring’s behavior could be described as offensive and unruly, the fact that he will spend the next year and a half behind bars for saying mean words exemplifies how the U.K. has slipped into extreme authoritarianism in the space of just two weeks.”
No,this did not happen in a span of two weeks. And it most certainly should not have come as a shock. In fact, I predicted we would get to this point in my 2017 book Stealth Invasion, which explained the globalists’ plan to obliterate Western civilization through weaponized migration.
In his first interview since ending his re-election bid, Joe Biden expressed doubt Wednesday that there would be a peaceful transfer of power if former President Donald Trump loses the 2024 election.
