This Is Beyond Frightening

Biden administration demands Facebook hands over data on "misinformation" and vaccine skeptics (reclaimthenet.org)

Next, the Gestapo or KGB makes a dawn raid at your house.

According to them, The White House and Facebook have had a series of meetings whose aim was to get the social media giant to turn over massive amounts of user data to the government, apparently as a “good will gesture” – since there doesn’t seem to be any legal ground for such a request.

Instead, the “tense” meetings saw the administration’s COVID crew “begging” Facebook to give them access to data showing how many people on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp see content branded as coronavirus misinformation, how many are still undecided whether to get the jab, and also the efficiency of Facebook’s censorship algorithms, i.e., how many people still get to see content that it aims to block.

Amazing that Facebook realizes that this isn’t a good idea. But they understand that if they don’t protect their users, they won’t have any.

Yes. Yes They Do.

Surgeon General Vivek Murthy says people have no right to spread "misinformation" (reclaimthenet.org)

How you get to be in such a high position in American Government without understanding American principles is completely beyond me. There is no “misinformation” exception to the First Amendment.

And it’s worth pointing out that just because you disagree with something, that doesn’t make it misinformation. You might be wrong, you know. In fact, if there’s anything that this China Virus has taught us, it’s that our “experts” are often wrong.

US authorities seem to be doubling down on their policy of enlisting the help of Big Tech and traditional media in suppressing what they see as medical misinformation being spread by users of social networks and accounts run by these privately-owned corporate giants.

US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy told CNN that media outlets and journalists should play an instrumental role in stopping people from speaking about their choices regarding COVID – although he acknowledged that they still have the right to those choices.

That’s awfully nice of him. You can (for the moment) still make your own choices about the China virus. But if those choices differ from the official mantra, you can’t tell people about them.

The emperor has no clothes.

Twitter Enlists the Aid of the Stormtroopers

New Twitter feature lets users report "misinformation" (reclaimthenet.org)

What could possibly go wrong?

Twitter has stated that it will begin testing a new reporting function for users to flag tweets containing suspected “misinformation” around COVID-19.

According to The Verge, users will be able to report misinformation using the same procedure they use to report “harassment” or other content using the new tool.

Do yourself a favor. Look up “Hitler’s Youth”.

Strange–This Wasn’t Disrespectful Last Year. What Changed?

Instagram blocks critical comments of Biden through it's "disrespectful" content filter (reclaimthenet.org)

Instagram introduced a selection of new tools this year, intended at assisting users in protecting their accounts against “harassment.”

However, the tool appears to be working to protect the Biden administration from some unwanted criticism. In response to President Biden’s handling of the Afghan evacuation, Instagram invoked a comment-censoring effort to protect him from “disrespectful” words.

I tried it myself.

“Loser” can’t be posted to Biden’s Instagram account at POTUS. Comment blocked for Community Guidelines.

You can’t call President Biden (D-USA) a loser on Instagram. Huh. Imagine if that rule had bee in place from 2017-2020. I wonder why it wasn’t.

I won’t censor you here. Please feel free to call President Joe Biden (D-USA) a loser. Because that is, in fact, an accurate description. I’d let you call him that though even if it weren’t. I believe in free speech.

Let’s Face It. If His Name Was Donald Trump Jr., All of the Hunter Biden Stories Would Be Front Page News

Facebook suspends news outlet for reporting on latest Hunter Biden story (reclaimthenet.org)

However, in this new scandal, Facebook seems to be running to Hunter’s defense again.

Biden was caught on video with an alleged prostitute in a video published by the British newspaper Daily Mail, describing how Russian drug traffickers may be blackmailing him over a stolen laptop (not the one described in the initial New York Post article).

The video then shows Hunter alleging that there are possibly incriminating videos of him “doing crazy fucking sex” on the laptop but showed no nudity.

Facebook took down The Western Journal’s coverage of the controversy from its platform on Thursday. Amidst all the action, The Western Journal was also barred from streaming on the platform for the next 30 days.

You can’t handle the truth. So Big Tech protects you from it.

LinkedIn Gets in the Act

Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the water.

LinkedIn censors Harvard medical professor Martin Kulldorff (reclaimthenet.org)

What was Professor Kulldorff’s crime?

As a result of his claims that public health authorities have been overstating the protective properties of masks, Twitter temporarily suspended respected COVID-19 policies critic, Martin Kulldorff in June.

The Harvard Medical school professor had seemed to continue on LinkedIn but it appears lightning has struck twice in his case. Following his one-month suspension from Twitter, Martin Kulldorff turned to LinkedIn to share news and comments on COVID-19 policy.

You aren’t allowed to express your opinions anymore if those opinions conflict with the Ministry of Truth.

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

Maher Has Had Enough

Bill Maher Reacts To NFL Playing Black National Anthem (lifezette.com)

The most irritating thing about Maher is that he is a lefty that pretends to be a libertarian. The least irritating things about him are that he’s moderately self-aware and pretty damn smart. I wouldn’t want to try to debate him on most things, even when he’s clearly wrong.

Having said that, he’s right here.

Speaking on the matter, Maher said, “I saw last night on the football game, Alicia Keys sang ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing,’ which now I hear is called the black national anthem. Now, maybe we should get rid of our national anthem, but I think we should have one national anthem.”

Maher added, “I think when you go down a road where you’re having two different national anthems, colleges sometimes now have — many of them have different graduation ceremonies for black and white, separate dorms — this is what I mean! Segregation! You’ve inverted the idea. We’re going back to that under a different name.”

This is segregation, and it has the tinge of racism. We should try to be above that. The left wants us divided though. It’s how they win.

Hooray for Unconstitutional Vaccine Mandates

Biden Unveils Authoritarian Vaccine Mandate – PJ Media

Look. I’m vaccinated. I think you should be too. I think that if you’re not vaccinated, then you should consider isolating yourself. But I won’t force you to do either.

But…this is wrong.

Biden then announced that the Department of Labor would issue an emergency rule requiring employers with more than 100 employees to mandate vaccines or weekly testing. This order will cover 80 million employees. Employers will be required to pay workers for time to get vaccinated. In an odd assertion, he said this would protect vaccinated employees from unvaccinated coworkers.

Any healthcare facility that receives Medicare or Medicaid funding must also require vaccination. Some estimates report that as many as 40% of healthcare workers are not vaccinated. There is also a skilled nursing shortage. It is unclear how mandates will affect this trend. In Oregon, where cases are rising, 111 nurses are already on administrative leave for remaining unvaccinated.

Using the coercion of government contract requirements, Biden will require private companies that contract with the government to implement a vaccine mandate. Vaccination will also be a requirement for employment in the federal government. There will no longer be an exemption for routine testing. In total, the new plan will affect 100 million workers.

Will future generations even understand the concept of Freedom? I wonder.

If You’re Surprised by This, Then You Haven’t Been Paying Attention

It Looks Like Biden’s Presidency Will Be as Disastrous for Black America as Obama’s Was – PJ Media

President Donald Trump’s (R-USA) administration was probably the best thing for Black Americans in the last 50 years, maybe since Lincoln. Unemployment levels were the lowest in history.

But now?

Another inconvenient truth about the Obama “recovery” is that black Americans were largely left behind.

And Biden seems to be continuing that trend. Just like Obama before him, while most Americans are slowly returning to work, black unemployment has gone up.

The rise in Black unemployment in August is certainly troubling, considering their unemployment rates were already much higher than any other group. Black men's unemployment hit 9.1% in August while white men are now down to 4.4%, lower than Black men's unemployment ever. pic.twitter.com/OQLfNmjV4P
