Im no expert like him, but the biggest lying and uniform reporting and self censorship I remember was prior to ( and during the ) Irak war. That was not in ( or not just) internet, it was the traditional media and self inflicted. The ginny got out of the bottle after 11s.
The US Democrats do believe in free speech – here is the list of 50 things you are free to say this week.
The worlds reaction to Covid and the untrue rhetoric that was pushed on everyone was gross and unnecessary. It was incredibly destructive I agree with transparency on some things, but it’s almost as if the public wants COMPLETE transparency. In order for the country to be protected and successful, that is IMPOSSIBLE. Covert means covert for a reason. I agree with the example here, but it seems as if they are promoting people who work for our government to release all information to the public. Sensitive or no. That would put us immensely as risk. No country in their right mind would do that. I have learned about the French and Bolshevik Revolutions and do not agree with censorship and much of what goes on today. But our government needs to be able to work in a discreet way for much to be achieved
The pity is that the people who need most to see this will refuse to watch because they will think it’s hate speech. That’s because their minds have been so twisted that’s what they call the truth they don’t like.
And now the conservative supreme court has made it completely legal and normal for any private company to deplatform or refuse service (censorship if u like) with the court decisions the cake baker or graphic designer. Trump dismantled net neutrality to. Soooo blame the left all you want, the right has solidified it into law. Good job idiots
Brilliant interview.
Isn’t Jacinda Arden also advising Prince William?
Brilliant interview. Thank you very much!
I’m not a republican. But I am sick of the establishment and the way they reacted an masse towards Trump told me that was the guy to vote for. Robert Kennedy, Jr could get my vote if it looks like he gets the chance to do something good with it.
We need to divide the world into woke and non woke
Free speech zones and restricted speech zones and cart everyone who wants restricted speech off to one side and have all the sane people on the other side.
Poor Mike he does not understand that Obama is evil because he is a disciple of Soros.
Mind blowing.
The music is louder than the presenter.
The intro sounds like a mix of Hotel California by the Eagles and Kill You by Eminem.
The first two progressions are like Hotel California and then it goes off in another direction. There's a clean tone guitar-like sound by the very start as well.
The root cause of the frantic activity is that THE JIG IS UP for THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN spreading and feeding off ITS LIES and all those disciples of THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN deep down know it, which on a cumulative basis leads to the SNOWBALL EFFECT of stupidity and coercion, which then brings to light all THE GARBAGE THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN had been hiding in the closet for decades, centuries and even millennia. And it is not based on formal collusion or conspiracy but rather of truly contractual "meeting of the minds" to pursue a certain NARRATIVE in order every individual BELIEVING to benefit from the COERCIVE COURSE OF ACTION.
The laws in Ireland aren't about our lack of tolerance but because we have the choice between a conservative government and a conservative government. They don't care about the people
Walter Isaacson confirms the #CensorshipIndustrialComplex exists and it has a heavy hand. He used the suppression of the Great Barrington Declaration as an example
Awesome interview!
When I first came to Africa back in 1983, I met an older Scottish guy who came from Southern Rhodesia, who told me that in SR, he listened to ALL the world service radio broadcasts from ALL the 'leading' countries on the right . . . on the left . . . and in the centre, and afterwards he would make up his OWN mind.
I've pondered on this matter all these years and this decade has made me realise what sage advice this was, and I chose to follow it!
If only people today could realise what real opportunities they have in life, rather than be slaves to the nonsense they chose to follow without making up their own minds!
Ernie . . . RIP
The most infuriating part of this is mainsteam media fact checkers insisting the $3.4 million in our tax dollars wasn't paid to Twitter to censor people.
they are right, i am full of hate , for these vile scumbags that have positioned themselves into leadership , and its a furious hate
I got BANNED numerous times from Facebook for posting information on the Frontline Doctors.
I bet they all wore MASKS at their Aspen Workshop.

I got banned from reddit/ worldnews because I suggested that there was criminal liability by China for accidently releasing " failure to control" the Covid-19 virus which has been tracked back to the Wuhan virology lab. And suggesting that attorneys using The World Court in The Hague, Netherlands should file suit and claim damages of $ 2,000,000 per person, and the monies thus claimed should be given to the estates of the victims of the pandemic.
I like how quickly Hunter Biden's corruption went from "utterly absurd to even suggest might be true" to "this is just so common that it isn't worth reporting on".
When any decent person sees racist views on marriage go from 96% to 4% they're happy but to the radical they think "what? Not 100%? What about that last 4%? The remaining 96% are just as bad for not driving that last 4% into the sea!"
Secret knowledge see: "The Conspirators Hierarchy, the Committee of 300" the global puppet masters rule all.

This video keeps freezing and all other videos play for me. Bit odd that
Brilliant interview. Thank you.
SHILLINBERGER- NOTHING BUT STATE APPROVED FACTS- WAY AFTER THEY MATTER AND RIGHT BEFORE THEY EMERGE ORGANICALLY! not a real word spoken!
The Uyghurs are not in concentration camps. What are you smoking?
And thanks to Matt Taibbi as well, another great journalist they went after after exposing Twitter, with threats of prison and a visit from the IRS….
Alot of young people are actually really on board with this protection of free speech argument i think the most heavily indoctrinated are actually millennials whereas gen z has been more or less split in two camps who are either with the woke nonsense or frustratedly against it. I think the criticism that should be levelled at gen z people who are against is that they aren't vocal enough in their opposition and this is due to being raised in increasingly woke enviroments and being ostracized for having an opinion.
They would be cakled something else in soviet russia, bluehats in the words of Solzhenitsyn.
The Fact that people don't know exactly wut Malinformation is, is why they can get away with it. Love shellenbergers definitions of Malinformation and propaganda.
Tying this to the 9&11 years is an important study. Same ppl pulling the strings all this time.
Awesome interview! Winston & Michael, THANKS!
This is always done by tyrants. All low IQ tyrants use virtue signaling and gaslighting. Great Wisdom,Thanks.
Cambridge Analytica
Direct Election interference by the government.
Like to see some evidence on these concentration camps.
Without freedom to speak the sciences will be one of the main institutions to suffer
In a way hatred is rising, but only because the elite are provoking it. They talk about white supremacy constantly which has made blacks BOLD to talk shit about whites. Racism against whites is allowed and rewarded. You think whites arent noticing? All the provoking is intentional. Democrats had to create the hatred to continue getting the black vote.
It's happening in all the free countries, trying to bring in a one world communist government. The WEF partnered with China to bribe politicians. Klaus Schwabs origram is taught in Harvard.
The first turning point that led to our privacy and freedoms being breeched was 9/11. That event seemed way too complexly coordinated. The buikdings went down like a professional demolition.
Great interview! I just subscribed
Ireland is best woke member 😢
Where’s this coming from? The universities. Why? Deliberate social engineering over decades to create this.
