Random Thought of the Day

It occurred to me, if the tech companies want to justify their latest coordinated effort to censor conservatives and libertarians, wouldn’t it make sense to play the actual clips of the offending “hate speech” videos that got the users banned? Could they maybe ask one of the 24/7/365 cable news stations to carve out a few minutes to play them so people can see for themselves just how awful they are? I know it’s asking a lot for the “news” stations to interrupt their played-on-repeat Trump hit pieces for any real stories, but aren’t journalists more than anyone supposed to be in favor of free speech? It’s not just the incendiary Alex Jones who is being banned. It’s also calm, measured, logical conservatives like Prager U that are being banned. Has a single person out there heard the actual words in context of what Alex Jones said about Sandy Hook? Jones posted a 13-minute on Twitter responding to the tech censorship, but surprise surprise, that video has been removed also. What don’t they want us to hear? The book 1984 by George Orwell taught us about how totalitarian regimes gain and hold power. It introduced terms like Big Brother, thought crime, 2+2=5, and memory holes. It is eerie how close to reality this book has become. Free speech is the only thing saving democracy in America right now, and it’s slowly being stomped out bit-by-bit.

One Last Thought

Speaking of 1984, is there any better illustration of the 2+2=5 concept than equating the revocation of John Brennan’s security clearance with suppressing his freedom of speech? He hasn’t shut up since it happened, and as long as propaganda networks like CNN and MSNBC still exist, he’ll have a platform to regularly air his grievances. We’re talking about perhaps the most dishonest, corrupt, and treasonous CIA director in American history. He should be in prison for the many times he’s already been caught leaking classified information. The same critics that called for his firing when Brennan worked under Obama are now criticizing his security clearance revocation under Trump?! The media hysteria over this is more evidence they’re all unthinking lemmings who simply distribute the coordinated propaganda hit pieces they’re given.

Random Thought of the Day

I finally was able to view a few videos from the now tech-banned Alex Jones on the Infowars website. His language is a bit strong, but I don’t hear him advocating violence. He claims the media has taken his words out of context, and he came right out and said he doesn’t advocate violence towards the media, and he doesn’t deny the Sandy Hook shootings took place. Yet, EVERY story I’ve seen the last month in the mainstream media has claimed he believed Sandy Hook never took place, and I’ve seen MSNBC & CNN stories today saying Jones told his listeners to “use their rifles on the media”. This seems similar to claims the media makes about Trump that he won’t condemn racism or David Duke, even though I’ve heard him do so in over a hundred sound clips. Regardless of what Alex Jones has said, wouldn’t it make sense to hold an interview with him to clarify his positions? CNN, MSNBC, and other news networks can’t carve out time for a 10-minute interview in their 24/7/365 broadcasts? The media have no problem interviewing Osama bin Laden, Vladamir Putin, Hugo Chavez, Kim Jong Un, the Castro’s, Iranian mullahs, and other nutcases, who do nothing but spew propaganda. But Alex Jones crosses the line, eh? Maybe Jones is lying through his teeth and will lie again, but the media has no problem devoting half their airtime to serial liar, Omarosa Newman. Some conspiracy theories no longer seem that far-fetched. Journalism is dead.

So, Twitter and Vimeo have joined Apple, Google, Amazon, and Facebook in banning Alex Jones & Infowars. I still know almost nothing about Alex Jones other than he’s a “right-wing conspiracy theorist”. The media and tech companies never seem to specify exact what got him banned other than to reference generic violations of “community standards”. I’ve tried to view videos and read articles to see what exactly is so offensive, but everywhere I go information is blocked or removed. Even at the Infowars website, it is tough to find any information since denial-of-service attacks have hit them, and a ton of their website videos seem to be linked to now-blocked Youtube or Vimeo accounts. All of this censorship happening within a week of time isn’t helping the case for those that say there’s no conspiracy. Can anyone out there think of an equivalent left-wing site that has been banned, including ones that advocate violence?
