Facebook will be the Department of Government Censorshipt
The White House on Wednesday endorsed further regulations on social media tech platforms, in response to testimony from far-left Facebook “whistleblower” Frances Haugen on Capitol Hill.
“The President has long said, as you referenced, that tech platforms must be held accountable for the harms that they cause,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said during the daily press briefing in response to a question about the hearings on Capitol Hill.
Here’s the beginning of the end of social media, especially Facebook, as we have known it. If you think it has been bad for conservatives and libertarians up to now, just wait. The White House, through its threats, makes it easier for Facebook to be the totalitarian monolithic entity its owners so want it to be. The Biden regime will threaten to use force against Facebook until it bans ALL nonleftist speech, across the board. Further, the Biden regime will reward Facebook for turning over dissidents so the government may harass and ultimately jail them under one-sided and subjectively defined “anti-domestic terrorism” policies. Will Facebook buckle under? Of course. This leftist, one party totalitarian dictatorship is what they always wanted.

Mom gets standing ovation after calling for ‘mass exodus’ from public schools
Florida mom Quisha King called for a “mass exodus” from the public school system, arguing that school systems left parents with no other choice for fighting left-wing ideas.
Her comments came during the annual Family Research Council’s Pray Vote Stand Summit during a Thursday panel on “Fighting Indoctrination on a National Scale.”
“I really think at this point the only thing to do is have a mass exodus from the public school system – that’s it,” King said. In response, she received prolonged applause, and many in the audience stood to their feet at the Leesburg, Virginia, event.
King previously drew national attention for her speech opposing critical race theory (CRT) in June. She works with the group Moms for Liberty, which is one of many battling CRT and other ideas across the nation. https://64c2a4208a82a84da2a2a3eb22e97d3e.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.html
PARENTS CONTINUE BLASTING DOJ, SCHOOL BOARDS AMID PROBE INTO VIOLENT THREATS
“With this FBI thing, it just made me realize – what else are we supposed to do?” King asked. “Standing up to these people doesn’t seem to matter. I mean, we have – all of us – we’ve been at these school board meetings, we’ve been voicing our opinions, we’re writing articles, we’re emailing teachers – we’re doing all that stuff. And they don’t care. I’m like the only thing left to do is to just peace out.”
She added that “it has to be us doing it together” in order to “really send the message that you do not have the right to indoctrinate our children.”
Her comments came amid an uproar over the Department of Justice’s announcement that the FBI would investigate potential violence at school board meetings. Attorney General Merrick Garland’s memo on the issue raised concerns as it appeared to be in response to a National School Boards Association (NSBA) letter suggesting that officials were encountering a form of “domestic terrorism.”

“While spirited debate about policy matters is protected under our Constitution, that protection does not extend to threats of violence or efforts to intimidate individuals based on their views,” Garland’s memo states. null
Still, critics like Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., have raised concerns about DOJ restricting free speech – pointing to language in NSBA’s letter that disparaged anti-CRT efforts.

Western Governments Have Proven Their Complicity in the Destruction of Their Own Peoples
Dear Readers, I cannot protect you if you don’t read the information. If you decide you prefer to live and do read the information below, ask yourselves this question:
Why do people with no legislative power—employers such as the Nazis at Ochsner Health System in Louisiana, school boards, university administrators, restaurant managers and owners, airlines, any employer, governors, mayors, hospitals—think they have the power to violate the Nuremberg laws and coerce patients, students, employees and their spouses, and everyone else to accept injections with a substance that has by far the worst record in vaccine history of association with death and serious lifelong health injury? Indeed, the record of the Covid “vaccine” is worse than all previous vaccines added together.
Every person issuing a mandate is an incipient Nazi or many times worse. They have no such authority; yet the murderous fools expect not to suffer the fate of Nazi officials, doctors, and judges who did far less.
Where did they get such an unrealistic expectation?
They got it from the presstitute scum media, everyone of which is an accomplice to mass murder and crimes against humanity.
They got it from the moron installed by the corrupt and criminal American establishment who stole an election and installed the moron in the Oval Office.
They got it from Fauci, Walensky, and other “public health” officials who are in league with Big Pharma and benefit from its profits.
They got it from the total failure of the Trump and Biden regimes to investigate NIH and Fauci for violating the Bioweapons Convention signed by the US government and financing “gain of function” bioweapon research which is where the Covid virus came from. Covid-19 came from NIH research grants, not from a bat.
In other words, clearly, the US government is an active accomplice in the mass murder and injury inflicted on people worldwide by the Covid “vaccine.” Everyone of these criminals must be held accountable.
In India’s large Uttar Pradesh province, administering Ivermectin to the population reduced Covid cases by 97.1 percent.
This information has been suppressed by the Western whore media and “public health” authorities. https://www.globalresearch.ca/india-ivermectin-blackout-2/5757553

CDC Hides Vaccine Deaths by Requiring Them to be Classified as Unvaccinated Covid Deaths
This deception is where the “pandemic of the unvaccinated” comes from.

The CDC released more data today into VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) which shows that there are now 1,969 fetal deaths among pregnant women who received a COVID-19 shot
Yet doctors and CDC recommend pregnant women be vaccinated! Under the Nuremberg laws, these doctors and “health officials” are committing felonies punishable by execution.
Millions of People Are Having their Health and Lives Devastated by the “Covid Vaccine.” The facts are everywhere. Yet the Pharmaceutical Industry and Medical Establishment Deny the Facts and Support Coerced Mandated Injection with a Deadly Substance.
Clearly this is not in the interest of “public health.”
Remdesivir and the “Covid Vaccines” Are Instruments of Death Being Intentionally Administered to the World’s Peoples for the Purpose of Reducing the Population
The horrendous evidence supports no other conclusion. At this point with so many facts on the table we cannot pretend that the inflicted disaster is merely a mistake due to NIH, CDC, and FDA incompetence.
During Attorney Thomas Renz’s speech at Clay Clark’s ReAwaken America Tour in Colorado Springs, Renz talked about two Whistleblower nurses that revealed to him that they have seen a two-tier system of health care depending on the patients “vaccination status.” “The nurses revealed that patients that are vaccinated are getting Ivermectin, which is proven to heal people. But if you are unvaccinated, they put you on Remdesivir in the hopes that you will die” said Attorney Thomas Renz.
Deaths attributed to Covid are good for profits and the other agendas as it stampedes the fearful to injections.
Come and Make Me
It is your mind that they want you to surrender—all those who preach the creed of sacrifice, whatever their tags or their motives, whether they demand it for the sake of your soul or of your body, whether they promise you another life in heaven or a full stomach on this earth. Those who start by saying: “It is selfish to pursue your own wishes, you must sacrifice them to the wishes of others”—end up by saying: “It is selfish to uphold your convictions, you must sacrifice them to the convictions of others.”

Biden is Cooking up a Crisis
Have we ever had a president who in mere months made so many dumb, intemperate decisions, thereby precipitating major crises? You’d think that the Afghanistan and border fiascos would suffice for one four-year term. But the smart money is that we haven’t seen the last of Biden-manufactured crises. Biden is a nightmare version of Pig-Pen of the Peanuts comic strip. A perpetual cloud of incompetence, conceits, corruption, and shabby political motives swirls around him.
Per Richard Fernandez at PJ Media, September 27:
As Niall Stanage of the Hill put it, “President Biden’s biggest vulnerability isn’t any single issue. It’s the risk that he could be seen as losing control of events.”
The dissolution of the landscape means the Biden administration isn’t plagued by any one malady anymore but by multiple organ failure.
What’s perilous to the nation isn’t likely any one crisis, as Fernandez and Stanage alluded to, but some combination. Afghanistan and the border crises aren’t that combination — at least not yet. But both do threaten to be part of a toxic mix leading to greater crisis during Biden’s term.
Other potential areas ripe for trouble are the economy, a new round of COVID lockdowns, the 2022 midterm elections, and leftist instigated unrest. An economic downturn would be a big domino falling, setting off a chain reaction. The other three areas are likely intertwined. More in a moment.
Afghanistan wasn’t a one-off, in that what happened there stays there. Afghanistan again becomes a staging area for Islamic terrorism, which threatens the homeland. Biden’s surrender there promises to spin off threats to American interests and national security elsewhere.
America’s principal adversaries — Xi, Putin, the mullahs, and Kim Jong-un — know, like most Americans do, that Biden is in over his head. More, the U.S. is divided and conflicted. Reported the Epoch Times on September 28, compounding homegrown troubles, the PRC is engaging in subversion here through their “3 Warfares” doctrine.
The greatest peril is open conflict, particularly with the PRC. Taiwan is increasingly a flashpoint for a Sino-American war. Biden’s bungling stupidity over Afghanistan can only stiffen Xi’s resolve to conquer Taiwan, sooner rather than later.
Or Biden may not prosecute a war with the PRC in Asia-Pacific, however necessary to defend America’s vital interests.
Biden appears to be compromised with the Chinese, via the influence-peddling schemes that he and his family operate. How and when Xi decides to leverage Biden’s corruption are open to Vegas-style wagering. Could Xi force Biden to stand down over Taiwan?
The border crisis is a metastasizing cancer, deliberately so. Two million illegals are anticipated to cross into the U.S. this year. Then there are the out-years, ’22, ’23, and ’24 to consider.
The manifold stresses that this diaspora will place on communities are only in their earliest stages. This represents an insidious, evolving assault on society. While Biden’s ham-handedness certainly plays a key role in the border meltdown, Democrats have long advocated for open borders. This crisis manifests a perverse and destructive fulfillment.
The four other areas — the economy, a new round of COVID lockdowns, the 2022 midterm elections, and leftist instigated unrest — could precipitate crises that impact and exacerbate one another.
The economy is a linchpin and crisis watchlist worthy.
Inflation worries are in the news. Economists tend to split on inflation. Is it transitory, attributable to supply chain issues arising from last year’s lockdowns, or will it persist and worsen? Some analysts claim the global supply chain crisis will abate by next summer. Or will it?
But inflation fears are attributable to more than supply. Biden’s policies and legislative goals point to stagflation, says the New York Post’s editorial board.
Consider conventional energy, which is the lifeblood of modern economies.
As of January 20, 2021, the U.S. was energy independent. Kudos, President Trump. Energy was affordable. The Biden administration signaled its hostility to conventional energy development and production from Day One, shutting down the Keystone XL pipeline (killing thousands of jobs in the process).
Pander, Biden does, to the delusional cult of environmental zealots who’ve been prophesizing climate cooling, warming, or whatever else sounds dire since the early 1970s. Earth doom is always just 10 years away.
Drivers have suffered dramatic gas price hikes since Biden assumed office. As of January 2021, the average national cost of a gallon of gas was $2.249. As of September, the cost has risen to $3.176 per gallon, on average.
Biden’s solution to greater energy demands and spiraling costs is to beg OPEC to up output, a request that has been denied to date. Evidently, ruining the earth’s climate from Saudi Arabia and other OPEC member states is okay.
The mounting cost of energy drives up the cost of everything, including food. Then there’s the Democrats’ $3.5 trillion run at big government socialism, slyly named the “Build Back Better and American Families Plan.” Infighting is waylaying the measure, but desperate Democrats aren’t giving up. They can’t. It’s pivotal to their fortunes.
This legislation’s profligacy and taxing provisions aren’t only economy-cripplers, but attacks on private enterprise, society, and liberty. The Heritage Foundation’s Tommy Binion told the Daily Signal (September 29):
I believe that the reconciliation package, which is the socialist wish list of today’s Democratic Party, [$3.5 trillion] in spending, cradle-to-grave welfare, everything they want on climate change, everything they want on immigration, all packed into one bill, is the most threatening legislation in our lifetimes.
The last three areas for possible crises — COVID lockdowns, the 2022 midterm elections, and leftist instigated unrest may intertwine.
Democrats appear to be headed for a shellacking in the 2022 midterms. Losing control of the House and Senate — or just the House — would scuttle their agenda. Congressional Republicans could roadblock many Biden administration’s executive actions, provided McCarthy and/or McConnell have the stones to fight.
Election integrity remains an outsized concern. Will battleground states, in particular, have sufficient election reforms in place next year? The GOP is lawyered-up and ready to litigate and plans for stronger election monitoring challenges, reports Truthout, a vexed left-wing outlet. But the chances for Democrat election chicanery: strong.
With Democrats likely facing awful elections prospects might the Biden administration push COVID lockdowns?
Draconian blue state lockdowns led the way in crippling the national economy last year, which had as an aim hurting Trump’s reelection prospects. The lockdowns were, in part, a pretext to blast out ballots across states (so much for chain of custody and ballot security). Proof that Democrats want rigged elections in perpetuity is found in their “For the People Act of 2021.”
Democrats must be watching Australia’s slamdown of its citizens with covetous eyes. Getting away with lockdowns will be harder, but Democrats aren’t hesitant.
Lastly, Antifa and BLM stoked urban riots in blue cities last year. Unrest in 2022 would again create a national atmosphere of fear and tension. As Democrats hoped last year, they’d hope again next year: That “protests against racial injustice” would damage GOP election chances. Or, if not that, some other excuse to foment unrest.
Should a national crisis emerge, the culprits are likely a convergence of crises. When has the nation been confronted by so many threats in so many different ways simultaneously?
“These are the times that try men’s souls,” wrote Thomas Paine. “The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”
Are we ready to stand?

The Psychpathology of Fascism-Communism
He actually said it. The Biden regime attorney general actually said, “While spirited debate about policy matters is protected under our Constitution, the protection does not extend to threats of violence or efforts to intimidate individuals based on their views.”
AG Merrick Garland is referring to parents voicing opposition to mandating masks for school children, as well as teaching them Marxism (“critical race theory”), in government-run schools throughout the country.
That dissension is not violent. Yet dissension from Garland’s side — from BLM on down — most decisively is. In today’s morally and cognitively inverted world, everything is labeled and treated as the EXACT OPPOSITE of what it actually IS.
In the minds of all totalitarian regimes, dissension is violence. That’s why AOC breaks down in tears and says she has to go to therapy for “PTSD” — all because millions of people apparently do not share her Communist and fascist views.
To a weak-minded person who’s at war with facts, common sense and objective reality — and who despises liberty — the very existence of dissenters makes him or her literally crazy.
The way the craziness manifests is through psychopathological anxiety. In order to reduce the anxiety, the intolerant authoritarian must gain back a sense of control. In our twenty-first century world, the best way to do that is through a combination of government and social media. Control what’s said, and control what people do, and then you gain the sense of pseudo-control that buys your authoritarian, irrational psyche some relief … for now.
These control freaks in our government and media will never get enough control. They’re like heroin addicts that way. That’s why the “15 day” COVID controls became permanent, and expand relentlessly (now through vaccine mandates). And even those controls will never be enough. The psychopathology spreads like a malignancy.
Parents dissenting against absurd and unjust masking and indoctrination of children are the enemy, according to the control freaks who seek to lower their anxiety and raise their narcissistic sense of “self” to levels not seen since the time of Hitler and Stalin. Enter Merrick Garland, Biden, and all of the rest of the freak show (in the corporate and entertainment worlds, as well). The sickest have risen to the top. That proves society is deeply, deeply sick.
We — the rational, the decent, the liberty-loving — are in the midst of trying to survive in a civilization dominated and run by psychopathology and sociopathy of the worst kind. It’s amazing we’re all still standing, much less thinking. We should pat ourselves on the backs. And show kindness and empathy not toward our enemies, but toward our fellow thinkers.

The Vaccine, not COVID, is the Threat
October 4, I presented Dr. Richard Fleming’s verdict that the Covid Vaccine is a greater threat to humanity than the virus itself. https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2021/10/04/is-the-covid-vaccine-a-bioweapon/
Today I present a study by 26 scientists that people vaccinated with the Covid “vaccine” are “more likely than unvaccinated persons to be infected by variants.” This is consistent with country data that shows that most hospitalized Covid patients are vaccinated. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.19.21262139v1
The medical establishment has avoided researching the connection between the vaccine and the emergence of variants and breakthrough cases, just as the establishment denies the high rate of adverse vaccine reactions including deaths. The study’s conclusions confirm scientist Geert Vanden Bossche’s conclusion that the vaccine suppresses the body’s natural antibody response, instead taking control of the immune system and defending, if it does, only against the targeted virus. Variants are not recognized by the vaccine antibodies, and the vaccine has programmed the body’s natural antibodies to shut down.
As the vaccine itself creates pressure on the virus to mutate, the Covid vaccine results in variants immune to the vaccine, and the vaccine has shut down natural immunity. This is why, contrary to the CDC, NIH, WHO, FDA, presstitute and Biden propaganda, the “breakthrough pandemic” is among the vaccinated, not the unvaccinated. According to the UK data, the weakened immune response of the vaccinated is why 63.5% of Covid deaths are among the fully vaccinated.
There is no doubt whatsoever about this, so why are “breakthrough” cases afflicting the “fully vaccinated” being blamed on the unvaccinated? How can anyone believe this blatantly obvious propaganda that serves agendas unrelated to public health? Clearly we are being indoctrinated into an agenda that does not serve public health.
Note that real science, not the voodoo bullshit you get from Fauci, Biden, and the whore media, concludes that the vaccine (1) shuts down your natural immune system and (2) creates variants that the vaccine does not recognize. In other words, the vaccine creates endless profits forever for vaccine companies to create boosters for each new variant, and each booster will create endless new variants. All the while your natural immunity is destroyed just as Dr. Fleming concluded.
Humanity will be sick forever, and Big Pharma’s share of the budget will exceed the trillion dollar share of the military/security complex.

Dissenting Parents Upset Over Critical Race Theory, Masks? Send in the Troops
The National School Boards Association (NSBA) has written a letter to Joe Biden, requesting “federal law enforcement and other assistance” to cope with angry parents concerned about their children wearing masks in school all day and learning concepts of Critical Race Theory (CRT).
Wow. It just keeps getting better and better.
Biden’s response, as with 100 percent of everything else his party has been doing, will be affirmative. We know that, because collectivism and statism are based on coercion.
Education, of all things, is based on the mind. The mind cannot be forced into thinking. Education should be a context for reasoning and persuasion. At a minimum, the intellectual alternative to Critical Race Theory should be offered at schools. It should be offered at higher level schools, like college, rather than elementary schools where children are too young to fully grasp the concepts.
Public schools are, in the minds of most people, operated with the full consent of the parents. Large numbers of parents object to critical race theory; similarly large numbers of parents object to the permanence of masks. The response of the schools is not to try and persuade them, or to negotiate with them. The response is to send in the troops. The federal troops, no less.
Public schools are government schools. Government is wired and designed to arrest and detain criminals. Governments are not wired to educate, negotiate or persuade. We’re right to have a military, and police forces. The military and police should be used to defeat perpetrators of armed violence. The military and police are NOT supposed to be used to violently and physically crush dissension of parents who do not wish their school-age children to be indoctrinated from a specific (and exclusive) ideological point-of-view. Nonviolent citizens are not criminals. Not in a free society. But as you can see, we are no longer a free society, not in practice.
The government has dropped the pretense. Notice that the same totalitarian DemCom ideologues who wish to “defund the police” simply love the police and armed forces when it comes time to crush the dissent of parents who don’t want their children taught to be Communists.
Watch Joe Biden’s response. It’s not difficult to predict.
