Another Deluded Democrat Narrative Mule

by Steve MacDonald

The fallout from the withdrawal of Mindy Atwood for State Librarian continues to amuse. I think I made the points that needed making yesterday here (If Book Banning Is Bad, Why Can You Do It?) and here (Actually, Libraries Are The Problem), but when proglodytes give you low-hanging fruit…you make jam out of them. InDepth … Read more

Censorship Industrial Complex Takes A Hit

by Steve MacDonald

The US State Department’s Global Engagement Center (GEC) was originally authorized and funded for eight years, and that time has ended. The current Defense funding bill provides no joy or taxpayer dollars to finance its purpose: to identify and censor (or suppress) global terrorism online, which pivoted to silencing center-right political populism beginning in 2016 … Read more

The State’s War Against Hate

by Wanjiru Njoya

In Against the State, Lew Rockwell explains how the constant expansion of state power is often justified as a necessary means of achieving the dreams and visions of voters. In its relentless pursuit of power, the state has a strong incentive to focus on the problems that are likely to resonate most deeply with voters and, … Read more

Disinformation Isn’t the Problem. Government Coverups and Censorship Are the Problem

by John W. and Nisha Whitehead

“What makes it possible for a totalitarian or any other dictatorship to rule is that people are not informed; how can you have an opinion if you are not informed? If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer… And a … Read more

Bureaucrats Worry Democracy Will Get In The Way Of Their Climate Agenda

by David Blackmon

I have frequently written over the last several years that the agenda of the climate-alarm lobby in the western world is not consistent with the maintenance of democratic forms of government. Governments maintained by free elections, the free flow of communications and other democratic institutions are not able to engage in the kinds of long-term … Read more

Do you want to Make America Healthy Again?

by Doris Hohensee

Don’t vote for Ayotte . . . unless she recants what she wrote in her 2019 pandemic book: Ending the Cycle of Crisis and Complacency in U.S. Global Health Security. In her book Ayotte discusses the need to: Much of so-called “misinformation” that was censored during the 2020 Covid pandemic turned out to be quite accurate. … Read more

Enabling a ‘Brutus’ to Slay the Elon Musk ‘Caesar’

by Alastair Crooke

In the Washington Post on Monday, the headlines read: Musk and Durov are facing the revenge of the regulators. Former US Labor Secretary, Robert Reich, in the British Guardian newspaper, published a piece on how to “rein-in” Elon Musk, suggesting that “regulators around the world should threaten Musk with arrest” on lines of that which befell Pavel Durov recently … Read more

Kamala’s Press Chief Tried To Censor Me

by Op-Ed

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is not missing any chance to condemn Republicans for threatening to censor libraries and school textbooks. But she is overlooking the heavy-handed record of her chief spokesperson, Brian Fallon. Unfortunately, a recent Supreme Court decision opens the floodgates for far more federal censorship. When Fallon was press chief at the … Read more

Who’s Banning Books Now?

by Rob Roper

The legislature passed just this year S.220 – An act relating to Vermont’s public libraries. The ostensible need for the law was summed up by the WCAX headline, “Vermont Senate advances bill to discourage book banning.” This was, in great part, a reaction by our legislators to parents around the country objecting to highly sexualized materials … Read more

Despotic Facebook is Marking ‘Grok Posts as Spam – Are We That Close to The Election?

by Steve MacDonald

Let’s open by thanking the handful of people who have reached out to tell me that Facebook is taking down the Grok posts they share. The Platform marks them as spam and removes them for violating community standards. It is expected, and we know, but we don’t just have to take it.

New Hampshire is very Much a Part of Rise of the Censorship Industrial Complex

by Claire Best

In 2016, New Hampshire Police and Fire rewarded Concord PD Julie Curtin for inter-Alia calling around the world to get internet posts taken down regarding Chessy Prout, the state witness in NH v Owen Labrie. She was rewarded for going above and beyond and getting “justice for the victim.”

Is Brazil’s War on Speech a ‘Test’ by US and UK Censorship Assets?

by Steve MacDonald

Columbia is famous for its coffee, and Brazil is renowned for its censorship. At least it is now. And while censorship in some form is not uncommon anywhere in the world, recent events in Brazil, led by Superior Electoral Court (TSE) Justice Alexandre de Moraes, have opened a whole new door.

Night Cap: Fascism Starts With Censorship

by Claire Best

If you have followed along with what is happening in Brazil, you might start reflecting on what is going on in New Hampshire and see how fascism starts. It’s not a left versus right problem, even if it ends up resulting in far-right totalitarianism. It’s a problem that spawns from a need to control the narrative to cover up gross corruption—kleptocracies.

An Ad I’d Like to See

by Ian Underwood

Over the past few weeks, I’ve had occasion to watch Robert F. Kennedy Jr. give testimony before Congress.  Most recently, he was trying to explain why a hearing on censorship should not itself be subject to censorship.

It’s a Ban TikTok, Biden, Weapon Sales, Censorship, Bloodbath Palooza!!!

by Steve MacDonald

Republicans in the US House have become Energizer® Bunnies for censorship, pushing a Biden bipartisan bill to ban TikTok, which has more secrets than Pfizer vaccine trial results.

Night Cap: What’s Wrong with Censorship?

by Op-Ed

Is there such a thing as one single source of truth? Is it the government, social media platforms, TV, radio, a book, or a political party? Probably not. All of these things come from people, and we all make mistakes. Nobody is right all of the time about everything.

Dear Bitter-Clingers: The 2024 Election Will Be Just As Rigged As The 2020 Election

by Ed Mosca

If I had to pick one word to describe the GOP, it would be … clueless. Apparently, most, not all, but most continue to bitterly cling to the wish/desire/fantasy that the 2024 election will not be rigged. Hell, there is even a subset that continues to believe, despite all the evidence and facts to the contrary, that the 2020 election was legitimate.

American Elections Are NOT Democratic

by Ed Mosca

There are certain prerequisites to a functional democracy. Among these are limiting the vote to only legitimate voters, ensuring that the vote-count is legitimate, having an election-day as opposed to “early voting” for weeks prior to when the actual election is supposed to take place, and not allowing local election offices to be used as get-out-the-vote tools for the Party in power.
