'Explosive UAP Whistleblower Article' published by 'The Debrief' authored by Leslie Kean & Ralph Blumenthal

Did these media outlets and the respective named journalists bottle one of the biggest stories in history, potentially one of the
biggest articles since #Watergate and #IranContra? they were both given the chance to run the #thehill UFO #whistleblower article and they both turned it down, if this is correct and this is what I have been told did happen, these guys and those media organisations need to be

Those of you still laboring under the illusion that Western democracies and their media are "free" need to wake up. Western states decide what can and cannot be talked about - not through forced censorship, but through ownership. (1/n) #ohiotrainderailment #OhioChernobyl A đŸ§”
The way it works is that politicians are elected via expensive election campaigns requiring huge corporate sponsorship. So they are beholden to big corporates for their survival. The same big corporates own the press. (2/n)
So the big corporates tell politicians (whom they own) what to do and they then tell the press (which they own) to run stories that support the things that the politicians do at their bidding. The system works smoothly and nobody is the wiser. (3/n)

After 6-years of propagandizing the us with RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, the Washington Post just released a story stating the Russian bot narrative wasn’t real. It must just be a coincidence the new #TwitterFiles drop is about Russian bot disinformation. đŸ€·â€â™‚ïžđŸ€” #WaPo @elonmusk

"Last summer, the German publishing company Axel Springer purchased Politico.

The media guesstimated the price was $1 billion.

Who knows? Who cares what the price was?
At the time, Mathias Döpfner, CEO of Axel Springer, said, "Politico's outstanding team has disrupted digital political journalism and set new standards.

A true North Star.

If you believe that the West is about to embark on (another) clash of ‘good v evil’, on which the fate of the world depends, it’s likely because you assume what you read in papers like the NYT and WaPo is unbiased.

Problem is, it isn’t.

There was once a great paper called the New York Times. It was the first to cover the huge story that the Vietnam War was ‘a lie’, and the US Govt knew it was a lie.

It’s editors and staff risked jail to bring people the truth.

Unfortunately it died.
Working for the New York Times was a journalist called Neil Sheehan. He spent ten years writing a book that won a Pulitzer.

It was called ‘A Bright Shining Lie’.

Can you guess what it was about?

Neil Sheehan would not be welcome at the Times today.

He’d be in jail.

Imagine spending every waking moment cursing the land of your birth, taunting faith & culture of the people who live here..

#Propaganda #protip: Never forget that #Editing is #Lying.

Read this #WaPo story: web.archive.org/web/2022010808
. Than look at this 3-tweet thread by Michael P Senger: . Almost NOTHING of what Senger points out as misinformation appears in the WaPo piece.
And of the one or two claims that do make it in, there is no hint whatsoever that the claims might be false.

The CDC has stated that the vaccinated can catch and spread the disease, e.g., but Kagan’s statement to the contrary is not challenged.
Another egregious example is in this Vox story; vox.com/2022/1/7/22871
. The #Biden administration apparently claims that covid is more deadly than smallpox, yellow fever, or cholera. That is complete nonsense, unbelievably wrong.

The #WaPo has a decent review of "The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story," the new book based on the notorious #NYTimes Sunday Magazine articles.

Reviewer @CarlosLozadaWP notes the basic dishonesty of the project, where criticisms are met by changing the definitions of words.
For instance, when Nikole Hannah-Jones says blacks fought for their rights "alone," that doesn't mean "Without aid or support," or "Without anyone else." It means "without the support of the majority of white Americans."
This is dubious as stated (did the majority of whites oppose the Civil Rights Act of 1964, or the Voting Rights Act of 1965? If answering, please present evidence). It is also irrelevant. A minority of white Americans has always fought for black rights. NHJ lies about this.

Part two and three of my response: Young approaches issues differently than I. I start with a piece of moral wisdom: " 'Ought' implies 'can'." If you can't accomplish something, then it's pointless to say you ought to do it. So I ask what can realistically be accomplished.
Young claims that "almost 20%" of Pakistan's judges are women. A quick web search reveals that Pakistan became independent in 1947, but didn't have a single female judge till 1974. semanticscholar.org/paper/Women-ju
. After an additional 47 years, there are rather more female judges, but
only 17% of judges are women, very few sit in the "high courts" (around 5%), and "The majority of female judges work in certain specialized courts, such as juvenile courts and family courts," dawn.com/news/1640773. cmi.no/publications/7
, with more than 1/3 of female judges

I'm really surprised Cathy Young bothered to respond to me. I'm less surprised she has muted me. That action does make my point for me about her refusing to learn from her mistakes on moral grounds. A goal held desirable must be pursued, even if it will ultimately fail, lead
to many #Afghan deaths, provide a haven for anti-U.S. terrorists, and encourage our enemies.

I call such an attitude #Imbecilic. YMMV.

Beginning part 1 of a 4 part response:

As for Rufo, I don't "clearly" agree. I was paraphrasing her tweet. Take a gander at this:
Seems pretty #Woke to me.

Then there's the report of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, sigar.mil/pdf/lessonslea

It was nice while it lasted, but it didn't last long. Only a day, in fact. While the other #WaPo article I posted about (archive.is/0V2J8
) was frank about the uncertainties in the "science," this new one is just propaganda: 'Trust the CDC, they know more than you do.'
Buried in the article (archive.is/67f7C
), after the plea to believe, are little nuggets of information that are worth mentioning:

By implication, "public health authorities" have been lying to us, and now the lies have turned around on them.

Data release tomorrow.
No data about the effectiveness of masks in preventing spread is presented.

The risk groups haven't changed: the old, the obese, the immunocompromised.

The #CDC still doesn't understand it should tell the truth, rather than spin stuff for public relations impact.

This #WaPo article on the #CDC and it's mask advice is really good, because for once we see the uncertainties in the situation.

Some key points, assuming WaPo got the story correct: The "breakthrough" infections sound quite normal, and to be expected.

archive.is/0V2J8
They occur in the nose.

The reason they occur is because it takes time for the immune system to produce antibodies once the virus arrives.

These infections don't seem to spread well to the lungs or other parts of the body. Whether they cause serious disease is also unknown.
There appears to be NO data on the infectivity of those nasal infections. Potential for spreading the disease is completely unknown.

The #CDC conclusion that people with such infections might act as disease spreaders is a SWAG.

The CDC is being VERY closed-mouth about this.

Mueller’s indictments of the 2016 election cyberterrorism operations run by the Russian military and Kremlin proxies stand as a record of the attack on our nation, when Americans became unwitting tools.

Let's not forget Judge Sullivan's words about #MichaelFlynn: “This is a very serious offense,” “Arguably, you sold your country out.” Flynn is “an unregistered agent of a foreign country, while serving as the national security adviser to the president of the United States.”
“[Flynn] was a high-ranking government official, advising the president of the United States,” Sullivan said. “I’m not hiding my disgust, my disdain, for this criminal offense.”
“I can’t promise you a sentence that involves no jail time." “You understand why” I was concerned, the judge told Flynn’s attorney Robert Kelner. “This sounds like a backpedaling on the acceptance of responsibility.”

By now, all Americans should know what disinformation looks like.

When Trump Putin Fox hacks start attacking America’s best minds with the poison of deception, and it’s backed up on social media: that’s parasitizing propaganda.

So why would billionaire-funded and Kremlin-funded launch a deception attack on @BillGatesđŸ€”

Because he warned in 2015 of coming pandemics, making the Trump administration* look horribly inept or worse yet.
FALSE: So the pro-Kremlin narrative that Bill Gates is behind the virus which originally aired on Russian media has been debunked by disinformation fact-checkers. @EUvsDisinfo

BOUT TIME: “Lynn Adelman, a U.S. district judge, published a blistering critique of the Supreme Court’s record under John G. Roberts Jr., focusing on a string of decisions that he argues have fostered ‘economic inequality,’ & ‘undermined democracy.’”-#WaPo washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/03

FURTHERMORE: “...’increased the political power of corporations and wealthy individuals’ at the expense of ordinary Americans.
Adelman also criticized Trump.. a populist who failed to deliver ‘policies beneficial to the general public’ with the ‘temperament of an autocrat’”-#WaPo
AMERICAN HERO: “Adelman’s article traced the transformation of the Supreme Court from what he described as a defender of ordinary people and ‘subordinated groups’ to an enabler of an “anti-democratic” Republican agenda.”-@washingtonpost
