A nun caught doing pushups in a cucumber field is more credible in her stated motivations than any of these loathsome, degenerate, false witness "journalists".

The WEF is using the media as their puppet mouth-pieces in order to spread highly weaponized propaganda, division, and discord throughout the world in a bid to divide, conquer, and enslave us all.

These treasonous journalists are playing a major role in the demoralization and destabilization stages of the coup we are experiencing. They create the fear and uncertainty and division and hatred while silencing and destroying the reputations and careers of anyone speaking out against the narratives they spin.

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.

Well said. Now, here come the "15-minute cities" to ensure that nobody can actually go anywhere to meet up with anyone like-minded. For a glimpse of the future, look at the gigantic, open-air prison Saudi Arabia is building in the name of zero emissions. Everything you need is a five-minute walk from your living pod. Isn't that great! There will never be any reason to go anywhere else. https://open.substack.com/pub/gomakeitreal/p/building-the-city-of-tomorrow-by

I heard about this 'line' city or neom a while ago. I remember when I watched the video I was struck by the phrase 'equitable views of nature' and I'm sure 'equitable' was used elsewhere. That nailed it for me: all the residents will be allowed their 15 minute peeks at the great outdoors once a month, that is, as long as your social score is acceptable.

The video makes it look so glitzey, reality will be something else completely. That's always the case.

The city is going to be divided into multiple sectors, so I would imagine that some residents are more equal than others.

Hmm, lemme guess. Those with money and who toe the line will live in the good parts of town; the rest of us ilk will live on the other side of the tracks. It was ever thus.

Because there are innumerable examples of improper censorship, this doesn't argue for the total lack of censorship.

You cannot avoid censorship.

The idea is preposterous.

Jam, what do you consider acceptable forms of censorship, If any?

Or are you making the point that everyone censors, just depends on circumstances?

Expand full comment

People often confuse censorship with choices. If you decide not to read a book, that's your choice. If you decide that nobody should read the book, and destroy all copies of it, that's censorship.

Expand full comment

The Catholic Church has done this throughout her History.

This was part of her Pastoral duties to the faithful, althpigh competent peoe could read such material to combat its principles and errors.

I understand that this sort of thing, along with Inquisitions, are unpopular today.

But the problem with things like censorship and Inquisitions are two-fold to my thinking: 1) they are inevitable (who claims we don't have Inquisitions today?); 2) there are good and bad ones!!

Expand full comment

Good explanation. I consider myself a free speech absolutist like another man whose name rhymes with “Egon Tusk” ;)

But Jam’s point got me to thinking, the “shoe on the other foot” test I guess. I am not as “absolute” as I think myself to be. I started remembering why some teachers in grade school would send me or others to the office because we were distracting the other students from what we were all there to do, which was learn. I was even expelled from a school because I was too much of a distraction (class clown antics mostly). That was censorship by people who I greatly admired but was disrespectful. I did not blame them for removing my free speech rights in the classroom. They did what they had to do to protect the rights of everyone else there to learn.

So Hypothetically; Suppose I were king, in charge of a site like Twitter or Substack. What could/would cause me to censor someone?

Child porn? Yes (I have children)

Snuff? (Definitely not happening in my kingdom)

Expletive laden hate rants? (Its against my core principals but I simply have no patience for people who do not have even rudimentary control of the English language)

Obvious trolls and trolling? No, I would not censor trolls. No harm no foul, just distracting but that is part of the game.

Calls to violence? Probably

I can think of more, but wonder what others here think. What would make you censorious if you were king?

Or, building on EG's comment: Who gets to decide what's to be censored?

In Bad Cat's next post, he shares Coyote's Law:

“before granting any power to government, first imagine that power wielded by the politician you hate most, because one day, it will be.”

Just imagine if The Bad Guys were in charge?

Misinformation is in the Eye of the Censor.

The bad guys are in charge.

I understand perfectly your point. I agree with your point totally, when necessary information is withheld from us for nefarious, cynical, or base reasons.

However, if a content provider will not self-censor either for love of neighbor, or fear of God, then of course others must step in and do so.

Difficulty in determining who, in every situation gets to decide something, is not an argument for or against something.

An individual act of censorship stands or falls on its own moral rectitude and harmony with truth and necessity of broadcast.

If you're referring to the nun joke, that was an attempt at both levity and blunt clarity of who and what we are dealing with.

Regarding people of faith, I am one of them.

Regarding the catholic church specifically, they were subverted long ago. Serpent symbology is all over Rome: http://tritorch.com/occult/#vatican

Regarding the Catholics who have been duped, I have nothing but sympathy for them.

Because the church maybe brought it upon itself, hmm? Oops, that's another thing we shouldn't talk about! How the church, which insists that only married people should have sex and all others remain abstinent, behaved when certain members of its publicly vowed celibate clergy were caught with their pants down diddling underage youths. How all this was hushed up at even the highest levels and the offenders shuffled from parish to parish, without a word of warning to any of their congregations. How the hierarchy made excuses for these perverts and told the faithful in the pews that they must forgive. Not one word of apology. Not one voluntary act of restitution. And it was OUTSIDERS that blew the whistle on what was going on. But we can't talk about that because that's picking on the church. Oh, that is rich!

it seems the gatekeepers in the security state have fox news in the crosshairs. After years as using fox as there whipping boy as a mouthpiece of far right wing conspiracies to fundraise, they have had enough. They want Fox to fall in line with the rest of the corporate press, full stop. The dominion lawsuit worked, they fired Tucker. Now that nimwit Jankowitz(sp) has filed her ridicupous lawsuit, that she will win or be paid off. This will be the end of laura ingram and maybe even the republican shill sean hannity. They want total control of the airwaves before 2024, its become obvious.

It's not just the lies. AI with the right training datasets would hypothesize or prove every criminal conspiracy, every failed drug, failed policy, trade secret, revolving door, every coup.

The Party has seized power and has no intention of giving it back. Eventually, totalitarian wannabes have to show their true hand. What's astounding is how it always plays out as a team sport, where the party followers follow the narrative lock-step. It goes both ways, too. Remember the Dixie Chicks? They criticized Bush & the war, and the right excoriated them. The Right fell for the same lock-step CIA disinfo then as the left did for Ukraine. Stop thinking right and left; It's INSOC or nothing.

The government and media censors don’t want to participate in democratic debates. They want to rule. Therefore, if, today, they say that Covid vaccines stop transmission, Covid vaccines stop transmission. As our rulers, they do not need to explain the evidence that the vaccines do not stop transmission or that they have serious adverse effects. However, if tomorrow, they determine that Covid vaccines do not stop transmission, but that they prevent hospitalization, they do not need to explain the change or provide support for their new position. They are the rulers and what they say is true because they said it. Unfortunately, we all see that they are idiots and liars.

I have been at this truth-telling mission for 20 years, launching a group called Free Spirits for Truth and Common Sense several years ago. It is gratifying to see what Tucker is doing and what my Substack colleagues like EGM are doing in this regard. The rulers need censorship because they have no clothes.

Especially easy for the King to do today with the media being his willing foot soldiers. Yesterday, the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee released a statement that the Kings son and brother had received and processed $millions through various LLCs ( none of which seem to have a defined business operation) and distributed to 9 family members. I will detour around the glaring “ if that were you know who” and simply say that NBC,ABC a and CBS had ZERO coverage. None. So, from my perch, censorship is thriving and highly effective. The King and his Court are thieves and the majority are okay with that.
