The Censorship Arm of the DNC and the Will to Power

The censorship three-step. A) We only want to censor hate speech. B) We get to decide what hate speech is. C) Hate speech is anything that makes us uncomfortable.

Excellent report by Michael Shellenberger:

More on the Mindset of the censor. These are extremely dysfunctional people. What drives them to control our right to express ourselves and hear the thoughts of others unfettered? Michael Shellenberger explains:

The reason that many in the media demand censorship is because they believe it is in their self-interest to do so. Many journalists want censorship for the same reason as their owners: to protect their market share.

These are likely to be journalists who believe that they cannot make a living as independent journalists and must instead work for a large media corporation whose revenue comes from large corporate advertisers. Pro-censorship journalists are thus likely to be more insecure, more envious of successful independent journalists, and more deferential to governmental and corporate authority.

And the pro-censorship journalists are likely to be the most dogmatically Woke activist journalists. TikTok banned ads by a new athletic clothing company, XX-XY Athletics, started by the former COO of Levi, Jennifer Sey, because her company recognizes the reality of biological sex. TikTok banned Riley Gaines, the collegiate swimmer trying to protect girls’ and women’s sports. And Meta has blocked pro-female sports posts and hashtags, including ones critical of the victory of a biological male in this summer’s Olympics.

Meanwhile, the platforms allow the promotion of the trans agenda. TikTok allows ads for minors to perform irreversible surgeries. As such, it is censoring the truth and demanding that the public believe the lie that physically different trans-identified boys and men can and should participate fairly and equally in girls’ and women’s sports.

Ultimately, what motivates governments, the news media, and societal elites to continue to demand more censorship? Some of it has to do with plain ignorance as to what is constitutional and what is unconstitutional. Some of it is Woke dogma. Another part of it is the fear that societal elites have of losing control of the government, the economy, and society. As for the professional journalists and editors who demand censorship, their main motivation appears to be envy of free thinkers who have attracted an audience because they had something to say and the courage to say it.

The Democrats love censorship because, as Martin Gurri has written, they are the party of control. They think they are smarter than you and you need to fall in line. They are the exact opposite of what they were in the 60s and 70s, when Democrats didn't trust authoritarians. Now, Democrats are the authoritarians because they love controlling us and they have control over most of the sense-making institutions of the US. Martin Gurri:

There are only two vital forces in American politics today: those who wish to control everything, and those who wish not to be controlled. The antagonists are roughly equal in number but vastly disproportionate in strength. True to its nature, one side controls virtually all the institutions that hedge the life of the voters. Also true to its nature, the other side spends most of the time fighting with itself.

The forces of control own the White House, the Senate, the media, the universities, the mainstream churches, the federal and state bureaucracies, most corporations, most digital platforms, and the entirety of American culture. Homegrown control freaks can also rely on assistance from Control International, the cabal of like-minded elites that runs the United Nations, the European Union, and any number of nation-states from Britain to Brazil.

Why the itch to control? Nietzsche would explain it as pure will to power, and that’s a perfectly adequate account.

The Democratic Party is the party of control.

More Facebook Censorship

Facebook is making sure that you hear ONLY the things they want you to hear. They treat you like you are mentally infirm and they pretend to be your caretakers. There is a simple word for what is going on: "censorship." They are engaging in censorship, shaping your opinions for you and not disclosing to you that they are doing this. Same old shit as before at FB. Zuckerberg is not sorry for getting caught.

Censors as Identity Thieves

These censors are insidiously injection-molding your brain. They are existential identity thieves--secretly derailing you, forbidding you from organically becoming the person you were meant to be. In the aggregate, what they are doing is akin to mass murder and the corporate media and the DNC are cheerleading them on. The censorship-industrial complex denies us our unalienable rights to our own Lives, our own Liberty and the Pursuit of our Own happiness. It is all so disgustingly anti-American.

Mike Benz:

I'm standing in front of the global capital of Internet censorship. This is the venture capital arm of the censorship industry. You see, we have a censorship industrial complex, but the heart of it is the industry, the money. That's what makes it work. That's how you get 10s of thousands, hundreds of thousands. Now, at this point, worldwide, full time professional sensors, whose job is to monitor social media, propose censorship solutions, implement censorship techniques, and all of it is funded by this building right here.

And I'm calling on speaker Mike Johnson, as soon as this election passes, should Republicans keep the house. I'm calling on you to set up a special subcommittee for protecting digital speech against government abuse, so that we have an institutionalized Gang of Eight who is capable of taking apart the censorship industry limb by limb, in terms of its government funding. Every single NGO. Every single university. Every single private sector, censorship mercenary firm. Every single fact checker. Every single media organization that's getting money from the National Science Foundation, the Pentagon, the State Department, the Department of Homeland Security, the Justice Department, USAID, the National Endowment for Democracy.

This building has allowed an octopus to grow, and I will tell you for having spoken to innumerable members of Congress who want to do the right thing. There are so many of these programs, and they go by so many different camouflage names. They're not called censorship grants and programs. They'll be called "digital resilience" or "media literacy," or "information integrity" or "countering disinformation."

But it's not countering it by counter-speech. It's censorship. It's remove, reduce, inform. Ban or suspend. Apply friction techniques like shadow ban, search recommendation bans, demonetization, virality circuit breakers or permanent fact check interstitials that are designed to kill virality and feed into the algorithm for deboosting. It's all censorship. It's all funded by the building behind me. And this can all be stopped, but we need eight educated members of Congress to man a panel to do investigations, subpoenas, transcribed interviews and hearings, and we need a brave Speaker of the House who's willing to set that up. Mike Johnson, I'm calling on you.

American Universities as Black-Ops Leading the Way on Censorship

Mike Benz explains: At min 5, he pulls up USASpending.gov, which he describes as the only substantive difference between the U.S. and North Korea or China or Russia. All of these do less censorship than the U.S. At USASpending.gov, we can actually see what our government is paying to each university to do its censorship. Simply plug in "misinformation," then read and weep. "We don't have a fucking First Amendment anymore." The government merely pays our universities to do its censorship. "Funded by the underbutt of the Pentagon."

Vaccinated vs. Unvaccinated: Where are the Studies?

Aaron Siri's Testimony before the New Hampshire House Committee.

The University of Jackson department of epidemiology did a study small based on surveys, retrospective...it showed that vaccinated kids at 30 times the rate of rhinitis is unvaccinated, 3.9 times the rate of allergy, ADHD four times, autism, asthma, learning disability, neurodevelopmental disorder.

So this is actually one of the only few Vax versus un-Vax studies I'm aware of, and the findings on it are startling. And if the health department can certainly take shots, I mean, you can take shots at any epidemiological, so you can say, well, you know, it's based on parental recall, it's based on surveys, is your health, you know, how random is your sampling? Sure, you could do that, but you could take shots at it, but a lot of credit goes to these scientists who stick their neck out to do this study without NIH funding and knowing they're going to get creamed for doing it. That's incredible they actually did it, frankly. More incredible it exists in any public literature. Long story short, there's no studies that rebut this. In terms of the scope of the harm.

So we've looked at what harms might be caused by vaccines, schools of pharma companies. We've looked at the fact that they failed to study them. And we've looked at what some of the evidence that might show what the health outcomes, what the impact might be of this increasing vaccine schedule. How many people are harmed potentially? What's, you know, to get an indication of that, a signal, we could look at theirs and I'm going to 2019 pre-pandemic.

And this is the number of reports of to VAERS of serious issues, death, permanent disability, hospitalizations, emergency office visits. And I will point out that back then, there was a federal government study conducted by Harvard, it found that fewer than 1% of adverse events were reported to VAERS. I think it's probably increased since COVID because people are more aware of VAERS now. But if you, you know, this is terrible science, by the way, what I just did. Terrible science. I just say that right now. But if it's 1%, okay, so let's multiply that by 100. I'm not saying these numbers are right. I'm making clear. This is terrible science. But this is kind of the best approximation I have. Somebody's got a better study, I'll take it. I'm happy to look at that data.
