So like are we just not going to make a big deal about the fact that a military psyops officer led a large group of people to the Capitol riot which is now being used to usher in Patriot Act 2.0?
I mean I get that she's a QAnoner, but QAnon is itself a very obvious psyop. I dunno, I'm going to bed. Let me know your thoughts.

Just Because The System Is Stacked Against You Doesn't Mean The Universe Is

"Things aren't bad because the world we were born into is innately bad, things are bad because a few manipulative sociopaths have made them that way."

It's intense right now. Damn intense. Especially in America. Image
Wherever you're at on the political spectrum, it's intense. And it's scary. And that's just the latest development in what looks to conventional wisdom like a decaying society on a dying world. So it's very easy for a sense of despair to set in.

'Journalists' Who Smear Assange Are Pure Scum

"There's shit, there's the shit that would come out of shit if shit could shit, and then there's people like @jamesrbuk."
caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/journalists-…
I wouldn't have thought that any mass media reporters would have the temerity to continue the public smear campaign against Julian Assange after it became clear to everyone that his case threatens everyone. But if anyone was going to try it, it would be the odious James Ball.
Ball, who as @Suzi3D documented in 2016 has been working within the MSM to destroy Assange's reputation for years, has just published yet another ugly smear piece titled "Julian Assange is no hero. I should know — I lived with him and his awful gang".

Capitalism doesn't drive innovation, it crushes it. If this were driven by profit-seeking this design would have been kept secret for years--making worldwide collaboration impossible--while the copyright was put in place so a medical company could sell it at extortionate prices.
Imagine a humanity where this was how innovation manifested in our world.

We need to evolve.

Uhh that's bat shit crazy actually. I'm an entirely crowdfunded writer and I've only been writing since 2016. Many different websites republish my work online; I don't write for any of them. I wrote to Katehon in 2018 and asked them not to use my work; they ignored me.
I think I've been accused of working for every single government that has been targeted by US imperialism. I do not work for or with any government nor write anything at anyone's behest. I'm entirely independent and nobody tells me what to write.

"Well I'm a leftist and I haven't been banned on social media."

That's because you're politically impotent, you fucking tool. Unless this is just a hobby for you, at some point you should plan on becoming a threat to the oligarchs and warmongers. What do you think happens then?
Do you really think if the left actually becomes a threat to the status quo the Neera Tandens and Rachel Maddows aren't going to suddenly discover a reason why you're dangerous and need to be censored? The only way to be fine with censorship is to plan on never challenging power.
Tech billionaires are not on your side, and neither are the government agencies and plutocratic media leaning on them to implement censorship. Those institutions don't give a shit about silencing the right, they want to implement measures to silence you when the time comes.

The Boot Is Coming Down Hard And Fast

"This is all happening just in time for the Biden administration, about which critics had already been voicing grave concerns regarding the future of internet censorship."

Biden has announced plans to roll out new domestic terrorism laws in the wake of the Capitol Hill riot.

Did you know that Biden has often boasted about being the original author of the US Patriot Act?
