Where they haven’t disabled comments, they are using AI to enforce what they want you to say. Try to post on economic theory, or any conservative position on anything really, on a platform like Microsoft news. You can’t do it. You will waste thirty minutes trying to figure out what it is the AI doesn’t like about your post before finally giving up.

Great take as ever, but I would not neglect that the Cabal's doing everything in their power to stifle dissent.

Writers struggling to find an audience are removed from Google’s index (Substack links deindexing), taken away from their right to'reach' anyone on Twitter, and banned from advertising on Amazon if they, like myself, I kid you not, write about "highly debated social topics," which is a no-no for the censorial regime in power. It made my December 2023 book "As America Crumbles...: A Grim Chronicle Exploring the Evil Source of America’s Catastrophic Decline" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQR71WN3 ineligible for advertising.

Your last comment about the EU was completely on point. I was one of the 52% British citizens who voted to leave the EU in a final attempt to regain some sovereignty and control over our affairs. They labelled us as racists, fascists and idiots in desperation to keep the bloc intact because they know that once the dam bursts, this whole political experiment will come crashing down in a hurry. All over Europe, so-called right wing populists are being elected in ever increasing numbers - Italy, Germany, Holland, France. The end of the EU as it exists now is not far away

Until there are positive incentives to making good decisions and being responsible, I refuse to listen to the finger wagging from elites about how I am the one who should be guilty because I'm the problem. I have never been in jail, I have paid taxes my entire life, I am married with 3 kids with no plans for divorce, and I make responsible decisions on a daily basis. I am human and make mistakes like anyone else but I am out of compassion for the homeless roaming the streets or the migrants on the street corner begging for sympathy from me. I hate that it's come to this but I feel I don't have much of a choice anymore.

Thanks Gato for all you do. You helped kickstart the free speech goliath during Covid when most sane voices were being shouted down.

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to know who to trust, so I don’t listen and I don’t trust. They want my attention, they’re not getting it.

We are more deeply developing rational/critical thinking skills, and that, armed with the “sniff test”, keeps us deplorable citizens of the battered Republic in harbors of a grim sanity. Unfortunately we must question EVERYTHING.

Rest in Pieces MSM.

Journalism is dying because it has failed to tell the truth about almost everything. Any mainstream media source, in any form, I ignore. That is a forever contract for me. The NWO can go to the devil.

gato, in the spirit of this article, you're among the most gifted and insightful journalists I've encountered. Bravo to you, you deserve all of your success.

This is reminiscent of 18th century America. Everyone knew they were under tyranny and the smartest among them gathered in pubs and planned the revolution over pints of ale. They ended up beating the gloriously-adorned redcoats like today's journalistic revolutionaries are beating the current crop of ivy league credentialed information tyrants. Ursula's death rattle notwithstanding, it's all over but for the funeral.

This post is heartening in some ways....but it's over optimistic about survival-of-the-fittest (ie the BEST) in mass communication. There are still lots of barriers (albeit different ones from pre-internet)

* there's the over-supply, 'information'-fatigue problem (that the internet has amplified)

* there's the click-bait syndrome....as in 'say something shocking' (even if it's bollocks) will get more clicks than 'say something original'.

* and then there's the problem that whilst Yes MSM tv/cable biased 'News' may be going down the toilet, insidiously biased tv drama is booming: https://grahamcunningham.substack.com/p/non-binary-sibling-is-entertaining

There’s no “new journalism”. There is journalism or propaganda/subversion. Modernism in all its forms must be countered positively with truth.

Suck it media hacks! You that rose to power because you realised there were more of you hackneyed, flunky, a$$ kissers in the field, than actual Woodward and Bernstein type, REAL journalists!!!

The $#!% show is about to really get started, but I will throw in with my local community and rogue reporters, alt thinkers, writing to the beat of many drums, than submit, give up, or follow the current media pied pipers!!!
