azerbaycan24 | The former Fox News host has questioned why ‘you’re not allowed to hear’
the Russian president’s voice Former Fox News television personality
Tucker Carlson speaks to guests at the Family Leadership Summit on July
14, 2023 in Des Moines, Iowa
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has alleged in a recent interview
that unnamed figures in Washington obstructed his attempts to interview
Russian president Vladimir Putin.
“I tried to interview Vladimir Putin, and the US government stopped me,” Carlson claimed in an interview with Swiss publication Die Weltwoche published on Thursday.
He also explained that he felt let down by the lack of support for his
situation that he says he received from US news media.
He said: “I don’t think there was anybody who said ‘wait a second. I
may not like this guy but he has a right to interview anyone he wants,
and we have a right to hear what Putin says’.” The 54-year-old added:
“You’re not allowed to hear Putin’s voice. Because why? There was no
vote on it. No one asked me.”
The often-controversial media personality didn’t elaborate on the
circumstances under which he says there was government intrusion into
his plans to interview Putin but it appeared to suggest that it was the
current Biden administration which was behind the meddling. Carlson also
didn’t mention when the interview with the Russian leader was supposed
to take place.
Tucker Carlson blasts ‘creep’ US ambassador
“I’m an American citizen,” Carlson told Die Weltwoche. “I’m a much
more loyal American than, say, Joe Biden or Kamala Harris, who didn’t
even grow up in this country; she grew up in Canada. And they’re telling
me what it is to be a loyal American?”
Carlson –previously Fox News’ biggest star– parted ways with the
broadcaster in April shortly after the news network settled for $787.5
million a lawsuit with voting-machine company Dominion Voting Systems.
Fox News had regularly discussed claims on some of its shows that
Dominion’s machines were involved in ‘rigging’ the 2020 US presidential
election.
Carlson’s show Tucker Carlson Tonight, during which he frequently
discussed issues like gender, race, sexuality and ‘woke’ ideology, was
specifically referenced in the Dominion lawsuit.
Since leaving Fox News, Carlson has broadcast abridged versions of
his news show on X (formerly Twitter) which regularly draw tens of
millions of views.
Meanwhile, Russia TV news channel Rossiya 24 has aired a teaser
trailer for a weekend show it says is to be hosted by Carlson. The promo
was first broadcast earlier this month and again on September 22 along
with the words “at the weekend.” It adds that the “high-profile American
presenter is moving to another level. Here.”
Rossiya 24 didn’t state when the show will debut or if it will be
original content or translated versions of Carlson’s X broadcasts. (RT)
weltwoche | When Tucker Carlson departed the Fox News Channel in April, his
enemies cheered. But if they thought the happy warrior had finally been
defeated, their judgment was as dismal as their approval ratings. With
an assist from Elon Musk, Carlson is reaching an even larger, global
audience with his new show, “Tucker Carlson on Twitter (now known as
‘X’).”
The veteran newscaster has expanded his mission: to defeat the
mainstream media’s suffocating bias and incuriosity not just about
critical events at home but in capitals around the world.
When we reach him, Carlson has just returned from the United Arab
Emirates where he met with its president, Mohamed bin Zayed. Carlson
pronounces the sheikh “the most interesting, wisest leader I've ever
spoken to” — a provocative assessment given that the talk show host sat
across from Donald J. Trump last month. Of the Arab leader, Carlson
enthuses, “I've never met a more humble leader, ever — and I believe
humility is a prerequisite for wisdom.”
Carlson is far less kind about his colleagues in the press. “They're all fearful people,”
the 54-year-old scoffs. Instead of holding the powerful to account,
“they do exactly the opposite.” Indeed, “they do their bidding.”
Looking ahead to the Presidential elections in 2024, he says:
“They're trying to put Trump in prison for the crime of running against
Joe Biden … That's what this election's about. Are we going to allow
that, or aren't we? And I just don't think we can.”
Weltwoche: Since leaving Fox
and going solo with your new show, “Tucker Carlson On Twitter (now known
as ‘X’),” your posts have logged tens and sometimes hundreds of
millions of views. You’re taking off like Buzz Lightyear. Are you
feeling the freedom? To explore more topics and ideas? To express your
views?
Tucker Carlson: Well, definitely. If anything, I've expressed my views less.
I haven't done many straight-to-camera scripts where I write the script
and give my opinion. I've done what I've wanted to do for a long time
but couldn't, which is get on an airplane and go see the rest of the
world. I couldn't because I had a daily show I had to do.
I've become convinced over the past several years — particularly
since the war in Ukraine began — that the world is changing much more
quickly than most Americans understand. And because there's virtually no
coverage of the rest of the world in American media, Americans don't
have a good sense of it.
What we, in this country, refer to as the "Post-War Order” — the
institutions set up in the wake of World War II to keep the world
peaceful and prosperous and the United States at the top of the pyramid,
and that would include the dominance of the dollar, the SWIFT system,
NATO — all of that appears to me to be crumbling. That's my view of it.
I've wanted to travel and see if that is, in fact, happening — and it
is.
The world has a chance to achieve “authentic democratization” in
international relations by establishing a multipolar world order,
marking the first such opportunity since the end of World War II,
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the UN General Assembly
(UNGA) on Saturday.
The US and its Western allies seek to prevent such a development by
stirring up new conflicts to divide humanity and keep their “hegemony of
the global minority” in place, he added.
West is the ‘empire of lies’
The US and its allies still reject the principle of equality in
international relations, Lavrov said. Americans and Europeans keep
looking down on the rest of the world and that leads to their “total
intractability” in any negotiations. Washington and its allies “keep
making promises left and right” that end up being reneged-on, the
Russian minister added.
“As Russian President Vladimir Putin put it, the West is now the real ‘empire of lies’,” he said.
‘Reckless’ Western politicians have forgotten about self-preservation
NATO activities have reached “unprecedented” levels since the end of
the Cold War, the top Russian diplomat believes. The US-led forces of
the bloc have conducted drills that involved simulating nuclear strikes
against Russia, he claimed, adding that Washington is also actively
seeking to project its military might in the Asia-Pacific through
establishing military-political “alliances” with nations like Australia,
South Korea or Japan and pushing them towards closer cooperation with
NATO.
Such actions “risk creating a new explosive geopolitical hotspot in
addition to the … European one,” Lavrov warned, adding that Western
politicians have been so blinded by a feeling of impunity that they’ve
lost “the sense of self-preservation.”
True democracy in international relations is within reach
For the first time since 1945, when the United Nations was
established, the world has a chance to establish a truly democratic
world order, the Russian foreign minister said. The “global majority” –
ie the nations of Asia, Africa and Latin America – are increasingly
seeking independence and equality, as well as respect for their
sovereignty in international relations.
“It is obvious for Russia that there is no other way,” Lavrov told
the UNGA, adding that this fact “encourages optimism in those believing
in the rule of international law and wishing to see the UN restored to
its role of a central coordinating body of world politics.”
West stands in the way of a just world order
The US and its allies seek to stall the onset of a multipolar world
order, in particular by “stirring up conflicts that artificially divide
humanity into hostile blocs and prevent it from achieving common goals,”
the Russian minister pointed out. The West wants the world to “play by
its infamous and self-serving rules,” he said, adding that the
international community should instead strive for a world where everyone
“agrees on how to solve issues together, on the basis of a fair balance
of interests.”
Western sanctions hurt the world
Russia is calling for “an immediate and full” lifting of sanctions
imposed against such nations as Cuba, Venezuela and Syria, Lavrov said,
adding that such unilateral punitive measures “blatantly violate the
principle of sovereign equality of nations” and interfere with these
countries’ rights to development.
“One should put an end to any coercive measures imposed in
circumvention of the UN Security Council as well as to the West’s …
practice of manipulating its sanctions policies to exert pressure on
those deemed undesirable,” he added.
Russia’s top diplomat also blasted the US over what he called threats against nations willing to work with Moscow.
“It is shameful for a great power to run around like this and
threaten everyone and only demonstrating its obsession with domination,”
he told journalists after the UNGA session.
Russia’s stance on conflict in Ukraine
Moscow is ready for talks on its ongoing conflict with Kiev at any
time, Lavrov told a press conference on the sidelines of the UN
assembly. However, Russia will not consider any deals involving a
ceasefire, he said, adding that Moscow and Kiev had supposedly almost
reached an agreement in the first months of the conflict following a
series of talks in Belarus and Türkiye only for this process to be
disrupted, supposedly by Ukraine’s Western backers.
“Putin
said it very clearly: yes, we are ready for talks but we will not
consider any ceasefire proposals because we did so once and were
deceived.”
Russia also respects Ukraine’s sovereignty in accordance with the
Ukrainian declaration of independence and its constitution, Lavrov said,
adding that both documents also declare the non-aligned status of
Ukraine and respect for the Russian language and Russian-speaking
minorities.
Ukraine’s sovereignty “was destroyed by those who staged and
supported a coup, the leaders of which then declared a war on their own
people,” Lavrov said, referring to the 2014 Maidan coup.
West is ‘de-facto’ waging war on Russia
The US and its allies are de-facto engaged in a conflict with Russia,
Lavrov told the press conference. “We call it a hybrid war but it does
not change things,” he said. Western nations are sending arms to Kiev
and training its troops, he explained, so “They are de-facto fighting
against us with the hands and bodies of Ukrainians.”
Western nations also openly say that “Russia should be defeated on
the battlefield,” Moscow’s top diplomat said, adding that Moscow is
ready for such a development. “Under such circumstances, [if they want
it] to be on the battlefield, let it be on the battlefield,” he said.

jonathanturley | We previously discussed the defunct Disinformation Governance Board and its controversial head Nina Jankowicz.
After the outcry over the program, Homeland Security Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas finally relented and disbanded the board while
insisting that it was never about censoring opposing views. Jankowicz
has sued over the portrayal of her views. Now, Americans for Prosperity Foundation (AFPF) has exposed
just how broad the scope of the censorship efforts were under the board
in combatting “misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation
(MDM). This range of authority in what the agency called the “MDM
space,” included targeting views on racial justice and the disastrous
withdrawal from Afghanistan.
New documents obtained under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) requests show that the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) argued that the agency could regulate speech related to
“the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficacy of COVID-19
vaccines, racial justice, U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the
nature of U.S. support to Ukraine” as well as “irregular immigration.”
Those subjects stretch across much of the “space” used for political speech in the last few years.
Notably, within DHS, Jen Easterly, who heads the Cybersecurity and
Infrastructure Security Agency, extended her agency’s mandate over
critical infrastructure to include “our cognitive infrastructure.”
The resulting censorship efforts included combating “malinformation” –
described as information “based on fact, but used out of context to
mislead, harm, or manipulate.” I testified earlier on this effort.
So DHS asserted the authority to target viewpoints on racial justice,
Ukraine, and other political subjects, including views based on fact
but viewed as misleading in context.
What is also troubling is the continued effort to conceal these
censorship activities. Homeland redacted much of this information on a
now defunct board under FOIA Exemption 7(E), which protects “techniques
and procedures for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions, or would disclose guidelines for law enforcement investigations.” That claim is itself chilling.
As the title suggests, NPR just repeated the view of Jankowicz
despite the objections of many of us in the free speech community.
Jankowicz insisted “we weren’t going to be doing anything related to
policing speech. It was an internal coordinating mechanism to make sure
that we were doing that work efficiently.” Yet, what were the criminal
investigations, prosecutions, and enforcement efforts now being claimed
as connected to this work?
Recently, a court found that the Biden Administration’s censorship efforts constituted “the most massive attack against free speech in United States history.” Those words by Chief U.S. District Judge Terry A. Doughty are part of a 155-page opinion granting
a temporary injunction, requested by Louisiana and Missouri, to prevent
White House officials from meeting with tech companies about social
media censorship.
However, in a remarkable escalation the U.K Parliament is now targeting Russell Brand. The British government has sent a letter
to U.S. social media companies, including video platform provider
Rumble demanding they take action against Brand. Not only is the
British government targeting an individual and demanding action over an
unproven allegation, but they are also sending a letter to the U.S.
company demanding acquiescence to their censorship demand.
Standing solidly on the side of freedom, Rumble said no.
However, now Rumble is the subject of a global smear campaign using a
variety of media outlets and constructed controversies. Today, Russell
Brand responded to the overall effort by the British government.
amgreatness | The strategies of saving the Biden presidency from an impeachment and
a Senate trial despite overwhelming evidence of his corruption are
starting to emerge.
The Family is confronted with damning evidence from the laptop, from
the testimonies of Hunter’s business associates Bobulinksi and Archer,
from Ukrainian oligarchs and Viktor Shokin, from IRS whistleblowers,
from FBI writs, from a likely pseudonymous Biden trove of 4,000 emails
to his son and associates, and from the absolute paranoia of a White
House that must constantly change its narrative of denials to adjust to a
growing portrait of utter corruption, bribery, and perhaps even the
treason of warping U.S. policy to fit Biden family interests.
One of their strategies is to deny, then hedge, then ignore, then grow
silent—and repeat the wash/rinse/spin cycle of stonewalling as many
times as necessary to evade the mounting truth.
Insidiously Joe Biden has retreated from his once loud protestations
that he supposedly had no idea of what Hunter and his associates were
doing. Such a patently dishonest denial set the model that the President
would have no compunction about lying to the American people until the
evidence of his wrongdoing becomes overwhelming.
But this first line of defense did not crumble for years—only to be
replaced by a second line of denial: Biden may have known of Hunter’s
shenanigans, but he had no business interests with him. That was another
blatant untruth.
And that additional stalling also allowed Biden to ignore the closing
walls of incrimination for even more months. When these two forward
lines of defense collapsed, as the Biden consortium knew they eventually
would, a retreat to a third line of defense followed: yes, Joe knew,
after all, of Hunter’s miscreant shakedowns; and, yes, Joe, after all,
conceded that from time to time he did meet Hunter’s business
associates, and upon requests made phone calls to Hunter’s clientele.
But he did not profit from such knowledge and associations. Instead an
upright old Joe from Scranton was playing along with the “illusion” of
influence peddling: Scranton naiveté is not D.C. criminality.
Biden’s tripartite lines of defense always got shorter and shallower
as evidence mounted. But so far Biden has managed to consume 31 months
of his presidency through these strategic retreats. His fourth and final
line of defense will likely be that he was involved, that he had rather
than feigned contact, but that he did nothing other than what scores of
other high-ranking politicians do who rub shoulders with would-be
miscreants, sycophants, and crooks—and so did not knowingly take “loans” and “gifts” that had strings attached.
To breach this fourth defense line, House Republicans will have to
break through the labyrinth of Biden paywalls and find how much money
was rerouted into Biden coffers. And then they must additionally compare
what came into the Biden hands with a) what the family reported on
their respective income tax returns, and b) whether their various
properties and lifestyles were remotely possible without such massive
hidden income. And getting bank records from the Bidens will be near
impossible.
dailycaller | Top Republican lawmakers requested information from Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas regarding an agency
group that will include former intelligence officials who signed a
letter suggesting the Hunter Biden laptop was a “Russian information
operation,” according to a copy of a Thursday letter first obtained by
the Daily Caller News Foundation.
DHS tapped
former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA
Director John Brennan and former CIA Operations Officer Paul Kolbe, all
of whom signed an October 2020 letter
casting doubt on the legitimacy of the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian
disinformation, to join the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group. In
response, House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green and
Republican Texas Rep. August Pfluger are demanding to know DHS’
selection process for the group’s members, according to a copy of the letter.
“Multiple members of this Homeland Intelligence Expert
Group have shown an utter disregard for the truth, not to mention brazen
political bias. Does Secretary Mayorkas really think appointing leading
Russian-collusion hoaxers will increase trust in his department?
Clearly, he doesn’t care,” Green said in a statement to the DCNF.
Both Clapper and Brennan have been previously criticized for misleading the American public. On multiple occasions, Clapper gave incorrect information to Congress.
Clapper gave “inconsistent testimony” about contacts he had with the media while in office, Republicans charged. Additionally, Brennan denied that CIA officials had hacked the computers of Senate Intelligence Committee staffers, a statement that was later proven false.
“James Clapper and John Brennan have no place in
positions of power—much less on a board of so-called experts where they
will surely continue to serve as partisan Democrat operatives disguised
as national security officials. The Department of Homeland Security must
dispense with its disinformation boards and expert groups and focus on
the real national security issues facing our country—such as the
thousands of illegal migrants crossing our southern border on a daily
basis,” Pfluger, who serves as the chairman of the Subcommittee on
Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement, and Intelligence, said in a statement
to the DCNF.
The group will meet four times per year to advise
DHS on intelligence and national security efforts regarding issues such
as “terrorism, fentanyl, transborder issues, and emerging technology,”
DHS said.
DHS didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
rutherford | “There were relatively few secret police, and most were just
processing the information coming in. I had found a shocking fact. It
wasn’t the secret police who were doing this wide-scale surveillance and
hiding on every street corner. It was the ordinary German people who
were informing on their neighbors.”—Professor Robert Gellately, author
of Backing Hitler
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you may be an anti-government extremist (a.k.a. domestic terrorist) in the eyes of the government and flagged for heightened surveillance and preemptive intervention.
Let that sink in a moment.
If you believe in and exercise your rights under the Constitution
(namely, your right to speak freely, worship freely, associate with
like-minded individuals who share your political views, criticize the
government, own a weapon, demand a warrant before being questioned or
searched, or any other activity viewed as potentially anti-government,
racist, bigoted, anarchic or sovereign), you have just been promoted to the top of the government’s terrorism watch list.
I assure you I’m not making this stuff up.
So what is the government doing about these so-called American “extremists”?
The government is grooming the American people to spy on each other
as part of its Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships, or CP3
program.
As Hohmann explains, “Whether it’s COVID and vaccines, the war in
Ukraine, immigration, the Second Amendment, LGBTQ ideology and
child-gender confusion, the integrity of our elections, or the issue of
protecting life in the womb, you are no longer allowed to hold dissenting opinions and voice them publicly in America. If you do, your own government will take note and consider you a potential ‘violent extremist’ and terrorist.”
leohohmann | The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced
on September 6 that $20 million in federal grants (your tax dollars)
will be handed out to 34 organizations to “prevent targeted violence and
terrorism.”
Since today is the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, you might think
these 34 organizations will be focused on al-Qaeda, ISIS or the Iranian
Republican Guard Corps. But you would be wrong. They are focused on
Americans who dissent from the prevailing narratives coming out of the
federal government and its collaborating partners in the corporate media
and major social media platforms.
Whether it’s Covid and vaccines, the war in Ukraine, immigration, the
Second Amendment, LGBTQ ideology and child-gender confusion, the
integrity of our elections, or the issue of protecting life in the womb,
you are no longer allowed to hold dissenting opinions and voice them
publicly in America. If you do, your own government will take note and
consider you a potential “violent extremist” and terrorist.
The $20 million is going to universities, behavioral and
mental-health providers, youth services organizations, schools, churches
and faith leaders, and state law enforcement agencies. Their job will
be to identify political dissidents and foster interventions among those
Americans considered to be “going down a path toward violence.”
This money comes from the Department of Homeland Security Center for
Prevention Programs and Partnerships, or CP3. The program was started in
fiscal 2020 and has to date awarded $70 million in grants to private
nonprofits, state and local government agencies.
The following is from the Department of Homeland Security press release announcing the $20 million in new grants (notice the emphasis on public health, which is the same emphasis used by the U.N. World Health Organization, an emphasis also used by New Mexico Governor Michelle Grisham in her recent declaration suspending the Second Amendment).
“Created in 2021, CP3 is tasked with strengthening our country’s
ability to prevent acts of targeted violence and terrorism nationwide.
To help accomplish this mission, CP3 cultivates partnerships across
every level of government and within local communities, provides grant
funding and prevention training, and promotes greater awareness and
understanding of TVTP (Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention)
strategies and best practices. Leveraging a public health-informed
approach, CP3 brings together behavioral and mental health providers,
educators, faith leaders, social service providers, nonprofits, law
enforcement, and other state, local, and community partners to address
systemic factors that can lead to violence while strengthening
protective factors at the local level that support the safety,
well-being, and resiliency of communities in the United States.”
The CP3 program, according to the release, “helps to prevent targeted
violence and terrorism through funding, training, increased public
awareness, and the development of partnerships across every level of the
government, the private sector and in local communities across our
country. Leveraging an approach informed by public health research,
CP3 brings together mental health providers, educators, faith leaders,
public health officials, social services, nonprofits, and others in
communities across the country to help people who may be escalating to
violence.”
This all sounds wonderful, until you figure out that it’s not focused
on actual terrorists or drug cartel members who slip into our country
every day from across wide-open borders with intent to harm Americans.
It’s focused on spying on law-abiding Americans who the government
considers dangerous simply because of their views on various political
or social issues.
This program, administered by DHS and the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) with the full support of Congress, is “the only
federal grant program solely dedicated to helping local communities
develop and strengthen their capabilities in this area.”
DHS.GOV | Today, U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro
N. Mayorkas, Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis (I&A)
Ken Wainstein, and Counterterrorism Coordinator Nicholas Rasmussen
announced the establishment of the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group
(Experts Group). The group is comprised of private sector experts who
will provide their unique perspectives on the federal government’s
intelligence enterprise to DHS’s I&A and the Office of the
Counterterrorism Coordinator.
“The security of the American people depends on our capacity to collect,
generate, and disseminate actionable intelligence to our federal,
state, local, territorial, tribal, campus, and private sector partners,”
said Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas.
“I express my deep gratitude to these distinguished individuals for
dedicating their exceptional expertise, experience, and vision to our
critical mission.”
“The Homeland Intelligence Experts Group is being formed at a time of
unprecedented challenge, with the U.S. intelligence enterprise facing
threats from a range of malign actors, to include foreign nation-state
adversaries, domestic violent extremists, cyber criminals,
drug-trafficking cartels and other transnational criminal
organizations,” said Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis Ken Wainstein.“The
Experts Group will be an invaluable asset as we navigate through this
evolving threat and operating environment and continue to strengthen our
efforts to protect the Homeland.”
“The homeland threat environment is more diverse, dynamic, and
challenging than at any point in our post 9/11 history, with threats
tied to an array of different terrorist and violent extremist ideologies
and narratives,” said Counterterrorism Coordinator Nicholas Rasmussen.
“The experience, expertise, and perspective offered by Experts Group
members will undoubtedly put the Department in a strong position to
confront this threat landscape, and we are grateful for the willingness
of the Experts Group members to serve in this important capacity."
The Experts Group will provide DHS with a wide range of views and
perspectives, with a membership that includes former senior intelligence
officials, journalists, and prominent human rights and civil liberties
advocates.

PCR | The Nazi Biden Regime Takes Its Claim that it Has a Right to Impose Censorship on Media to Supreme Court
There is no doubt whatsoever that the Biden Regime is a Fascist
Censor controlling information in the interest of its criminal agendas.A Federal Appeals Court spelled out the censorship and banned it:
“Defendants, and their employees and agents, shall take no actions,
formal or informal, directly or indirectly, to coerce or significantly
encourage social-media companies to remove, delete, suppress, or reduce,
including through altering their algorithms, posted social-media
content containing protected free speech. That includes, but is not
limited to, compelling the platforms to act, such as by intimating that
some form of punishment will follow a failure to comply with any
request, or supervising, directing, or otherwise meaningfully
controlling the social-media companies’ decision-making processes.”
The Biden Regime hopes to convince the Supreme Court that “national
security” requires abandoning the US Constitution and to coerce the
court into reinstating the Biden regime’s cancellation of the US
Constitution.
It is impossible for a country to survive when the values on which
the country is founded are abandoned by its leaders. America is so far
gone that not even the media believes in free speech and has happily
accepted the role as Ministry of Propaganda.
Certainly corporations do not respect the First Amendment. Employees
must take “harassment training” to remain employed. Failure to use
“Woke pronouns” constitutes harassment and grounds for firing. In other
words, employees do not have freedom of speech. A coerced Woke policy
has control of their tongues and forces the use of words they do not
voluntarily use and to which they object. Employees are forced to lend
their validation to the preferences of a tiny perverse collection of
confused people. Why do the non-normal minority have this power over
the normal majority?
Take a few minutes and try to identify any institution, public or private, that supports American values.
Trump’s goal of taking back our country might be a task too large.
.@RobertKennedyJr talks to Russell Brand about how the NSA was in charge of Operation Warp Speed, the history of the United States bioweapons program, and why Anthony Fauci is the highest-paid government official in history:
In a statement on Tuesday, YouTube said they took action against Brand’s account — which has 6.6 million subscribers
— to “protect” users in light of “serious allegations against the
creator.” It means 48-year-old Brand will no longer be able to profit
from the ads that run within and alongside his videos, which have titles
like “What REALLY Started the Hawaii Fires?” and “Covid Tsar Admits
Lockdowns Were NEVER About Science.”
“This decision applies to all channels that may be owned or operated by Russell Brand,” the Google-owned video service said.
While Brand has not been charged with any crimes, YouTube said he violated its “creator responsibility policy.”
“If a creator’s off-platform behavior harms our users, employees or
ecosystem, we take action to protect the community,” the statement read.
BBC echoed the sentiment, saying Brand’s content “now falls below public expectations” of iPlayer and BBC Sounds.
Over the weekend, the Times of London, The Sunday Times and Channel 4 Dispatches published a joint investigation in which several women accused Brand of sexual assault and rape between 2006 and 2013 — a period during which Brand also became married to and subsequently divorced from pop star Katy Perry.
thehill | In today’s world — as RFK Jr. himself has said — media outlets such as CNN and MSNBC refuse to have him on, while allies of President Biden continually assail his character and motivations. Why would they do so?
Some supporters of Kennedy would say it’s because he has been
continually challenging narratives pushed by the entrenched elites — be
they related to COVID-19, U.S. policy in Ukraine or the American people
being voiceless in their own nation.
Another reason why a DNC with its thumb on the scale for Biden,
powerful Democratic powerbrokers behind the scenes and certain media
outlets advocating for Biden might be dialing up their attacks on
Kennedy was outlined by a story in Axios headlined “Biden could lose first two ’24 contests to RFK Jr.”
Talk about embarrassing for the president.
Those contests are the traditional first-to-vote states of Iowa and
New Hampshire. Or, as Kennedy campaign manager Dennis J. Kucinich described
them, “States at risk of such disenfranchisement include New Hampshire,
where Biden came in last in 2020, receiving zero delegates; Iowa, where
Biden came in 4th in 2020.”
It is clear that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a Democrat and wants to run
as one in the Democratic primaries. He has stressed time and again that
the Democratic Party he once knew was all about helping the
disenfranchised and those with the least among us.
But if the system is “rigged” and he is shut out of the Democratic primaries, does his quest become a lost cause?
Jefferson Smith in “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” closed the film by
speaking of the importance of lost causes. Said the character, “I guess
this is just another lost cause, Mr. Paine. All you people don’t know
about lost causes. Mr. Paine does. He said once they were the only
causes worth fighting for and he fought for them once. For the only
reason any man ever fights for them. Because of just one plain simple
rule. Love thy neighbor. And in this world today of great hatred a man
who knows that rule has a great trust.”
As the DNC, in conjunction with the Biden White House, continues to
try to silence and ostracize Kennedy while punishing states such as
Iowa, New Hampshire and Georgia — along with millions of potential
primary voters — it certainly seems as if they don’t trust the people to
speak for themselves.
The DNC and the Biden White House may quickly learn that it’s one
thing to try to silence RFK Jr. It’s quite another to try and
disenfranchise the votes of millions of Americans.
Lines are being drawn in the sand. Can the DNC and Biden see them?
