Why is it so vital and necessary for the combined monolithic apparatus of government, corporations, and NGOs, to brute force censor everyone while decimating the careers and reputations of the dissenters? Here is why:

The reason the First Amendment is prime directive order 1, is because it is the most important freedom we have for the same reason it is the first target an adversary subverts, disrupts, and destroys during a crime, a war, or a takeover—preventing a target from assembling, communicating, and organizing a response to an assault grants an enormous advantage to the aggressors.

This is and has been occurring all across the globe since the minute this COVID-19 fraud was propagated to every corner of the earth.

The Second Amendment is second because it is the remedy for anyone trying to subvert the First.

The fog of this war is purposefully thick—a massive labyrinth filled with wrong turns, dead ends, and long, interesting paths to nowhere—relentless discombobulation are important tentpoles of demoralization and destabilization.

The truth is, as Charleton Heston wrote, “Modern media fills the cultural airwaves with a mist of anesthesia, so that principles and values are slowly desensitized to the coming onslaught. The new culture arrives on the heels of this propaganda. It simply moves in and takes over, like slipping a fine new glove over a numbed hand. The outcome of the war is just as devastating, but without bombs bursting, twisted bodies to bury, or rubble to rebuild. A new class, a different culture, simply takes over.”

But let’s look at specifics. Going all the way back to NY Slimes Pulitzer Prize winner Walter " I don't see no stinkin' starving kulaks in Stalin's Ukraine" Duranty (perhaps around 5 – 6 million were starved to death by Stalin in his Holodomor) to Lincoln "I have seen the future in Stalin's USSR, and it works" Steffens to fake Nobel Prize winner Rigoberta Menchu, accidentally outed by another leftist, to another NY Slimes wunderkind, fiction writer Jayson Blair, who resigned in 2003 after he was outed for stories—some front page—that were fabricated or plagiarized, to Dan "I found a memo!" Rather, to Brian "I was shot down in a helicopter in Iraq in 2003" Williams, and the list goes on and on and on... such as Walter Cronkite telling us (regardless of how you felt about its rightness) that the Viet Nam war was being lost during the Tet offensive, while at the same time North Viet General Giap admitted later on in his memoirs that all was lost unless the American public was lied to and told they were losing, to Mikey Isikoff /Newsweek’s infamous May 9, 2005 issue that cited some “unnamed source” saying the Qu’ran was trashed at Guantanamo – and was later proven false, but not after many were killed in the rioting that ensued overseas (“no matter if people die… as long as their political ends are met, right?). And speaking of fake Pulitzer Prize winners, how about good old Janet Cook and here fake story in the Washington Post, Jimmy’s World. Duranty would be jealous! And speaking of 9/11, don’t forget the famous – and utterly idiotic – tweet from the NYT that said “Airplanes took aim and brought down the World Trade Center.” This tweet was so intellectually vapid it deleted it shortly after. (Reminiscent of “guns kill people” articles… as if guns grow legs and fingers, and run around shooting people with no human operators. And don’t forget Vietnam reporter Peter Arnett and his famed supposed quote from a US officer that I grew up on, “We had to destroy the village to save it” – except that this was later proven to be – wait for it! – another media fake, and when pressed he never could provide evidence of who, exactly, said it. Or perhaps you prefer Charles Jaco of CNN “reporting live from Saudi Arabia” in the 1990” Iraq war…. or should I say, in front of a fake green screen. If you need a refresher, from a linked clip is a video of the broadcast (which I saw myself) or see here as well. The fake news doesn’t care if you see this now (which is why it is allowed on co-opted Youtube), as this has already gone down the Orwellian memory hole of the general public so they don’t care. Only I suggest you should care, as they continue to do this stuff today, only even more.

Or think the first Gulf War where the MSM showed ''thousands'' in attendance when Saddam Hussein's statue likeness was toppled by the jubilant masses who were so thrilled by the American liberators.. At least, that's what the camera angles made it look like. In actuality, there were a few dozen individuals there, possibly paid and/or crisis actors, and a rope was attached to an unseen US military Humvee that actually did the work. And of course, more recently, from the media’s “Covid lab leak is a hoax” to “Covid lab leak is confirmed,” it later came out that CNN was ordered not to look into chasing the story down. So much for the Fourth Estate. Orwell’s “We have always been at war with Oceana” to “We have always been at peace with Oceana” is now verified! In fact, in 2023 it came out that, as Defender writes in Private Emails Show NIH Officials Helped Persuade Virologists to Write Key Article Denouncing COVID Lab-Leak Theory, that “Leaders of the National Institutes of Health and the U.K.’s Wellcome Trust played an undisclosed role in persuading virologists to write an influential article asserting a natural origin of SARS-CoV-2, according to a memo released by investigators with the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.” And re. the Covid scamdemic, Dr. Martin Makary, of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Medicine put it bluntly “Makary told the House Oversight Committee Feb. 28, 2023 that “The greatest perpetrator of misinformation during the pandemic has been the United States government.”

What a great point Tri!!!!!

A song that always resonated with me is, “ Everybody wants to rule the world” by Tears for Fears.

“ There’s a room where the light won’t find you, holding hands as the walls come tumbling down. When they do, I’ll be right behind you. So glad we almost made it. so sad they had to fate it. everybody wants to rule the world.”

I disagree that ‘everybody’ wants to rule the world, but enough to do who are in powerful positions, that they are making life challenging.

Another song that comes to my mind is , “The final countdown.”

Not everyone is aware that the content provider for each cable (satellite, etc.) TV channel receives fixed income from the cable (satellite) company based upon subscriptions, NOT based upon actual viewings.* This means, at least short term, that Fox could care less that they’ve fired their most valuable asset. This fact alone, I suspect, implies that profit is not the top priority at Fox, which seems very odd at least by “old fashioned” standards, where in theory at least, a publicly traded corporation’s first duty is to its shareholders. On second thought allow me to amend that: If big corporations allied with the Deep State have large, even controlling interests in a corporation like Fox, then perhaps by firing a loose cannon like Carlson, they are acting in the stockholders’ interests.

It’s worth mentioning that newer media such as Substack is fairer to both subscriber and content creator, in the sense that subscriber pays for what he wishes, and is not bound to a package plan. I hope Carlson has a stellar future on independent media

*Pay-per-view diverges from that, for obvious reasons.

You have valid points, but the in my estimation the implication that you draw, i.e., "I suspect, implies that profit is not the top priority at Fox...", is neglecting at least one critical point... that being the advertising money from corporate interests that no doubt was in jeopardy if "something" wasn't done about Tucker Carlson....

With regards to Tucker, I have no doubt that he’ll find a platform soon - and it will eclipse anything offered by the corrupt, globalist-controlled media.

Although I have written little on cancer, having been diagnosed with a cancer (in reality toxic poisoning) in 2020 I have an understanding I would not have done if that had not happened. This might be of interest.

Chemo/surgery and immuno-therapy are all a big pharma con. Perhaps some surgery might be desirable but it is the treatments that harm and are merely money for big pharma like the vaccines etc.

“ It’s almost comical (if it wasn’t so deadly) to watch them desperately trying to speed up their agenda - which , in turn, alienates more & more people.”

I’ve been saying this for a while now. It really feels like whoever is pulling strings at the “top” is behind schedule and running out of time. They seem in a BIG hurry to push us to a certain place by a date certain, and I suspect Trump threw off their timeline. At least that’s the way it feels to me. Almost desperate.

The only problem is that the faster and harder they push us, the faster people wake up.

I saw a YT video a few years ago about a DARPA whistleblower who worked

on a supercomputer that gamed out human nature and humanity’s future way into the future. And as time progressed, the potential outcomes for our future narrowed, like in a chess game, and every outcome increasingly brought humanity to a point that was absolutely terrifying elites:

An awakening.

They’re racing against time to seize total control over humanity before we awaken. This, I believe, is what Armageddon is.

I remember the 1976 swine flu vaccine fiasco. I was a sophomore at UC Berkeley and I remember they had posters with a clip art image of a huge pig all over campus telling people where they could get their swine flu vaccine. My attitude at the time was that Gerald Ford could keep his pig flu. I didn't get the shot but most of my friends did. Of course, I didn't get the Covid shot either.

I remember my mom and dad taking my brother and I up to our local high school to get the shot. All of us got it. Thank god we were all ok but in retrospect I shouldn’t be surprised that she then (against my advice as her daughter AND an educated pharmacist) went and got the covid shots and then the booster until it gave her intractable vertigo. She still believes that the FDA and the CDC are good people. She believes that the democrats are the party of the people and of freedom. She still watches the nightly news 5 and 10pm. She has bought her safety at the price of her freedom to live her life fully. It’s all very sad.

"One point on this subject many do not appreciate is that Obama, Bush’s successor, pivoted once elected and adopted many of the warmongering policies his predecessor had."

That's pretty much SOP (standard operating procedure) for the puppets known as presidents. WIlson kept us out of ww1 until he didn't, Frankie the rich kid Roosevelt famously promised, "I have said this before, but I shall say it again and again and again; your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars" while plotting with the warmonger Churchill, to get the US involved in ww2, to Bush who promised a "compassionate conservatism" and a "humble foreign policy" then destroying Iraq to name just a few more.

It's clear that those in positions of power are guilty of crimes against humanity until proven innocent and it's not only false, but intellectually lazy to keep harping on "the other" while ignoring the beams in our own eyes.

As for "Tucker," since I have always thought of teevee as mind sewage, I have never owned one, so I have never seen him. Whatever is going on with him is, rest assured, part of some big game that's being played and we'll never know the truth. Myself, I would have a hard time caring less.

As for the lying media, it's nothing new; it's a given. Upton Sinclair wrote, in 1919, "The Brass Check," and in 1920, "Money Writes," both detailing the corruption of the popular press by the influence of big money.

Then there's this,

"I will add, that the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods & errors. "

"He who reads nothing will still learn the great facts, and the details are all false."

-Thomas Jefferson to John Norvell, 14 June 1807

http://press-pubs.uchicago.edu/founders/documents/amendI_speechs29.html

Mass media exists to influence the masses and as such, is made to appeal to the knuckle draggers amongst us. Same goes for schooling.

Therefore, to avoid being suckered, doubt everything, then question it. Above all, trash the toob and all other big media. You'll see that most of what we're told comes from under the bull's tail.

I just watched an interview last night that Tucker did with two podcasters three weeks ago and in it he said that he does not own, nor has ever had a television in his home. I agree with him and you that television and most of media today is a vile aggressive cancer on our society.

As A Midwestern Doctor has said, Tucker was really the only voice in the media who nightly spoke to the marginalized and disenfranchised in this country. His voice was not only encouragement, but validation that we, the outsiders and 'othered' were not alone.

Same. It might be a commonality between those of us who think independently vs those that follow the herd that we who are the “more informed” do NOT as a rule watch television. I haven’t sat down and watched the news in 15 - 20 years or better. I haven’t paid for cable either. I don’t watch sitcoms or any of the other garbage. I’ve never darkened my home with either the Kardashians or Real Wives. When I indulge in watching something online it’s either a movie or documentaries. Sometimes I will get bored or can’t find a new book to read so I will binge watch something like The Peripheral (which was really good btw). I’m shocked when I go to my sons house and see a commercial because I *never* see them. Thank God too because “Got covid? Paxlovid” is vomit inducing to say the least.

I don't believe the system is doing as designed but doing as modified. I don't believe the original Republic was setup to lead to where we are. Hindsight is always 20/20 so there are some thing we can see today that they should have done at the start but I don't think they could have created a better system of governance at the time. Human nature is such that those with wealth will eventually try to capture and control governance so the best you can do is make it very difficult and very expensive for them to do that. Term limits would have been a great idea, limiting Senators to say 2-3 terms and Reps to something similar certainly would make it far more expensive to purchase congress due to turnover as opposed to today where you can purchase 50+ years of control in a single Senator. At the time the system was established I think they foresaw something like term limits as causing more ham than good because only so many Americans were in a situation where they could leave their homes to server in Congress.

This is another reason Tucker had to be silenced. Biden will be running his 2024 campaign from his basement again. Democrats have already said there will be no primary debates so the fix is already in. Biden's campaign will consists of soundbites, videos, and fake staged rallies. He is incapable of campaigning in the traditional sense or even forming a coherent sentence for that matter.

All of msm will run cover for Biden just as they did in 2020. Biden's destructive policies will never be addressed and we will continue to be gaslit about the booming economy, closed borders, zero crime, cheap food and gas, and those safe and effective vaccines. Biden's message for re-election will solely consist of defeating MAGA terrorists. Tucker would not have played the media's forthcoming 2024 election year game so they had to take him out.

A fifth reason is that they had to take him off the air prior to the 2024 election. I predict that, in addition to no democrat debates (in order to silence RFK Jr.), Biden will once again run a campaign from this basement with the mainstream media running cover for him.

With certainty, Tucker would have given a voice to RFK, Jr. along with whoever the republican nominee is for President. The PWTB need to crush any and all debate and discussion of Biden's policies in 2024 because all of them are designed to destroy America and our freedoms and they can't let the people know this.

MWD, you say: "and only now that almost no one is willing to take the vaccine .." Whereas it may be the case for younger people, I am sure this is what you meant - anecdotal evidence of what I have witnessed in my mother's community (over 75s) is that 90% of people are still going for their boosters and have no idea that anything could be dangerous about the vaxx. They are, I might add, hooked into MSM 24/7 and are incapable of looking further for any evidence contrary to what MSM is spouting. My mother does not have access to the internet and watches TV and reads the newspapers every day - she has followed the narrative given to her by the media all her life and has zero reason to doubt it.

She told me recently that she has been called up to take the latest booster and when I said she really didn't need to/actually shouldn't take it she was dumbfounded. She knows I am unvaxxed but my sister is staunchly pro-vaxx. This will be her fourth shot and I am dreading what may happen. It is very hard to show someone so deeply entwined in MSM another narrative.

My mother has had FIVE COVID shots and persuaded my dad to have 5 as well, despite my warnings. Their health is crap now, but I’m a silly conspiracy theorist. (I was a left-leaning Independent prior to COVID and have been vaccine-hesitant since 2005 when it was a liberal conspiracy. At least I’m consistent.)

In the past, I only liked non-commercial media such as PBS and CSpan, non-fiction channels that covered reality, whether nature, history or economics. Now I've grown to see that very little at this point can be trusted. Zero Hedge does cover alternative views, but it is heavily influenced by corrupted interests, such as greed-based and self-centered intellectual viewpoints or biased cold-hearted right wing propaganda. Both left and right are bigoted, closed-minded.

Last week RFK, jr delivered the only speech I've heard a politician deliver that was inspiring, even FDR and JFK in their prime were laced with propaganda, not this time. He has the right stuff, he is of the people, humbly interacting with the poor and common people day to day, attends an AA meeting every morning. This is the strongest grass roots movement I've ever seen; Maga will die out as Trump's liabilities continue to grow. The politics of anarchy, division, hate, and name calling will fail.

Go back and listen to what President Trump said in his inauguration speech; the deep-state political machine was completely floored by his words.

Your disdain for Trump and for MAGA Americans is fully on display with your post. Look in the mirror, please. MAGA is the strongest grassroots movement ever.

RFK Jr. is a good-hearted soul who is correct on the vaxx scam, but other than that, his policies on open borders, gun rights, abortion up to the moment of birth, climate insanity and everything else are 100 percent liberal. He will be ridiculed, ignored and stepped on by his duplicitous party until he finally relents and returns to the fold. Remember Bernie Sanders.

On the other hand, Donald Trump had withstood since the day he announced his campaign the most criminal, outrageous and treasonous attacks -- from both sides -- ever imagined on an American president. And those attacks continue every single day.

I still support the one person the uniparty fears absolutely and has spent the past eight years trying to silence, denigrate and destroy: Trump. 🇺🇸

Wishing that he, and us, will go away is spitting in the wind.

Trump latched onto MAGA as a rework of the Tea Party movement IMHO. But like the Tea Party had to be demonized and trashed, so must MAGA. Still a very large fraction of citizens want some cleanup of the Uniparty and the swamp. That alone threatens the sinecures of so many. How do so many of our politicians become so wealthy on their modest salary?

Trump is a totally selfish liar, he's gone through so many re-makes of his public persona from dilettante in NYC and Atlantic City to the announcement in 2015 with paid for actors pretending to be fans and followers! Everything about him is anti-intellectual and bogus, from Trump "University" to the poorly performing NJ casinos, to how he bilked the government out of large money to build his showy properties--the guy's very history is fake and fraudulent. Just read David Cay Johnston's books on him. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o23GASckWwQ

PBS was always very leftist. I heard very little that was objective or fair and balanced. CSpan was a different story though

Compared to what? TV is largely entertainment. Commercial media has to do the bidding of its sponsors. What got Carlson canned was his insubordination. He could have been more cautious, told the truth and could have matured. The silly little boy giggle is indicative that he is not all that serious at heart. On life and death matters the media personality needs to have gravitas and intellectual seriousness which almost none have. Brian Lamb has been an exception. Garrick Utley, a couple others were honest journalists..

"Use the previous two to push through adult vaccination mandates once a suitable "emergency" could be found to do it."

This was a primary goal of the covid pandemic, to set the precedent that during times of a public health emergency the Federal Government can mandate the drugging of the population. It was initially to be marketed as mandating a vaccine but as with all new powers the government creates for itself this would be expanded later on to include drugs not classifieds as vaccines. What National level government or more specifically those running it, wouldn't lust for the ability to drug the population? As was predicted in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, drugging the populace is how you the elite keep the peasants in control while also being productive. Once they can mandate drugging of the populace I see no way of coming back from that with later generations somehow developing immunity to the drugs being administered.

Drugging the people is already underway with the people’s approval. Think about how many states have passed laws legalizing marijuana use, and I wouldn’t be surprised if some aren’t considering legalizing narcotics.

NeverForget1776's avatar

Correct but that's a far cry from being able to mandate it without legal challenge.

That said, I am in favor or legalizing marijuana and all other consumables the Feds have made illegal because the Federal government has no constitutional right to make any consumable illegal. Once you justify empowering them to ban something based on morality it's only a matter of time before that's expanded.

I don’t think that the ban was based on morality. Rather it is based in the fact that hallucinogenic drugs can be harmful not only for the person taking them but also to the rest of society. Many studies have shown that, and many physicians understand it and try to speak up about it, but they are dismissed because people have been fooled into thinking that hallucinogens are “safe and effective.” I live in a city with two major universities. I see the consequences of the legalization every day: erratic driving and more accidents, more violent crimes especially involving guns, antisocial behavior, an increase in domestic violence, you name it.

I understand the reasoning but the Federal Government absolutely will abuse any power it's given and the ability to make illegal something that is consumable is a huge red flag. If prohibition isn't proof of this I don't know what is. Government should never be the arbitrator of morality no matter what the justification.

You're right. Prohibition was a stupid idea. It ruined many local economies, wrecked lives, and it's what allowed the mafia to get its hooks into government and the burgeoning illicit and now legal (pharma?) drug trade. I still don't understand your thinking that consuming or banning drugs is a moral issue. It's a health issue. I did not say I was in favor of the government banning or encouraging drug use. It should not be involved in either side. I was trying to make a point that using drugs or alcohol has the potential for dire consequences, and the people who are trying to bring attention to that are being shouted down, cursed at, called ignorant, or canceled. Sad.

I said moral because most people on the "War on Drugs" treat it like a morality issue. If the reason used is because it's a health issue that's even worse as it then makes the case that anything bad for your health should be made illegal. Granted that won't happen because there's too much money being made from selling humans garbage now from fast food to near beer. Abuse/overuse of a lot things can be unhealthy.

By empowering government to make drugs or any other mind alerting substance illegal we've given the corrupt within the system another money stream. Drugs are illegal (while alcohol isn't) because there's money to be made from the drug cartels keeping it illegal and keeping the price for it high. The "morality" angel is jus the marketing they use to justify it being illegal. Alcohol was simply to widely/commonly used & liked to keep it illegal so they had to concede with it but drugs like marijuana. opium and cocaine are just desired/used enough that it's profitable without being so widely used and popular that its not feasible to keep it illegal. Porn is also bad for one's health but since it tugs at a base human need and is so widespread it's not feasible to try and ban it. What should have happened is that any/all mind altering substances should have been regulated just as how alcohol and cigarettes' are. That would have provided the government a great tax source and not created a number of Drug empires (cartels) that now have devastating impacts on locals. Nothing good ever comes from allowing government to control access to something that the government was not initially created to control and regulate. With each good use of expanded power comes (not long after) the abuse of that same power. This last time they tried to get the precedent that during a public health emergency the Feds could mandate drugging of the public. Had they been successful you can bet your life that would have been expanded to include more than just vaccines within a very few years.

Narcotics are legal already and they are called big pharma neuro-toxic drugs. Bayer made heroin in Germany before it was driven underground.

Now they sell morphine instead. Similar problems of course, just not so strong.

I agree with you that pHarma and its allies in government and media are mostly responsible for what ails society, but I also think that your drug choice is a problem unless you sit at home and smoke it and never go anywhere or interact with anyone. If I drink alcohol and then drive a car, I’m endangering other people as well as myself. Why not try giving up the weed? I did on the alcohol. It’s good to have a discussion or debate on the merits and dangers of drug use, but I would prefer that it be civil. Thanks.

Excellent points. And they’re already drugging the population via fluoridation of the drinking water.

True but that's still not the same as being able to mandate the drugging and with an experimental drug rushed thru development. Once they get that precedent, they're most of the way towards achieving A Brave New World scenario.

PREDICTION: Like as how James O'Keefe and Glenn Greenwald have both dealt with similar situations, Tucker will come back in some form of an independent journalist. I keep suggesting to Greenwald and O'Keefe that they should get with Tucker and create an independent journalist group where all 3 work together like how the AP works with various news outlets. They share information and support one another but are free from any corporate influence because they are the ones at the top.

It's very possible.

Greenwald tried to do that, and then his organization got taken over by far left activists who censored him and kicked all the good writers out. It was really sad to see them publish hit pieces on the FLCCC doctors who were saving lives with repurposed drugs throughout COVID-19.

Greenwald and O'Keefe both made the mistake of hooking up with the wrong people and I believe their experiences can help Tucker avoid the same. I have no doubt that neither Greenwald or O'Keefe when starting out ever thought they'd need something in place to prevent them from being muscled out of their own start-up. A collaboration between the 3 as 3 separate groups or entities working together would help prevent the same from happening to all 3 if they were to try and do one thing together.

I can see it now.

O'Keefe sniffs out the story and does the investigation getting key info on tape

Greenwald publishes the story

Carlson reports about it with references to O'Keefe and Greenwald's parts on a daily/nightly independent broadcast. All 3 working together but also individually.
