So disturbing. @jim_rutt is a patriot, student of history and a complexity scholar--former Santa Fe Institute Chairman, organized Game~B to re-imagine governance and save the west from collapse, hosts the non-ideological 'Jim Rutt Show'. (Jim also coined the term "snail mail"!)
He has now been booted from Facebook--without explanation, being told there is no possibility of being reinstated. That is exactly what happened to me, and similar to what happened to @jgreenhall (Game~B founder, now like me restored to FB with unofficial, nonsense explanation).
Apparently Jim's elimination from Facebook came at the same time the two other admins of the Game~B Facebook group were thrown off.

This is Game-A fighting dirty. Tech-platforms want you to think their plan is the purging of conservatives. That should alarm everyone, irrespective of ideology. It's unpatriotic madness! But many will turn a blind eye because they put the blue team ahead of the nation.
They're 'idea-laundering' this power-grab through the academy, grafting liberals onto the "far right" without rhyme or reason--feeding their conclusion in as an assumption, extracting justification. Our platforms allow us to reveal this corrupt process--hence their odd antipathy.
This isn't about conservatives. Never was. It's about purging anything that threatens control over narrative. Those focused on corruption, capture, propaganda, those who attempt journalism, speak of duopoly or who challenge "science" policy with the scientific method are targeted
Make no mistake. Game~B is visionary and progressive. Its only objective is the liberation and betterment of citizens. It will be driven off social media so Game-A doesn't have to face it in a fair fight.

We saw exactly the same pattern with the #Unity2020 initiative on Twitter
I won't even attempt to complete that list of liberals and centrists who's heterodox approach has awakened an audience the social media platforms seek to lull back into sleep.
I also haven't listed any of the honorable conservatives co-jeopardized, though many are friends. My point here is that the cover story (purging conservatives in the interest of progress), despicable, insane and unpatriotic as it is--is a lie. This is power protecting itself.
They are making war on heterodoxy and pretending--likely even to themselves--that they are doing it in the interest of what's right. It's time to fight back. Follow heterodox voices across as many platforms and protocols as you can. And get ready to seek them in the wilderness.

The President encouraged supporters while maintaining formal deniability. Congress has the right and power to prevent him from seeking the office again. It should. Then President Pence should issue the pardons necessary to prevent political witch-hunting.

The nation is more important than any person. Our focus on Trump is unnatural—we have been drawn into his self-obsession, and if the Senate does not act, the next four years will become a cataclysmic battle between his tormentors and his disciples. The republic can’t afford it.
This is neither a ‘pro’ nor ‘anti’ Trump proposal. This is a non-partisan proposal to get our democratic republic out of a tailspin. Pardons would have historic precedent in the response to Shays’ rebellion. Alexander Hamilton describes the reasoning for it in Federalist #74.

I'm glad this story has broken into the mainstream, but the fact that it took so long, and the endless near-universal condemnation of those who dared follow the evidence is cause for alarm. The probability of a lab leak was obvious in June, and many implications remain unexplored
How many of the idiosyncrasies of COVID might be the result of viral adaptation to the lab and to a particular experimental protocol?

If the virus was enhanced in a lab, it's urgent we find out everything about the protocol--a matter of life and death.

And what are we now to make of the year long "natural origin" consensus from all our top virologists?

Three of the authors that designated people from across the political spectrum as "far right" have a previous paper on--wait for it--under and overfitting in network community models. So they're ostensibly experts in avoiding the exact error they made. arxiv.org/pdf/1802.10582…
I have tagged the two who are on Twitter, so maybe they'll explain themselves. Who knows, maybe it's a very clever attempt at Sokal^3.

Looks like Homa Hosseinmardi (@homahmrd) is also here on Twitter if she would like to explain the methodology used to assign positions on the political spectrum.

I'd ask others to be respectful. There is nothing wrong with critiquing a paper, but it shouldn't be personal.

A strange error, in the weirdest possible place. There are, of course, many honest liberals pushing back on CRT, with millions of followers. Mainstream press often portrays us as conservative when it isn't ignoring us. BUT @WSJopinion has been a notable exception.

What gives?

Interesting that the link in no way reflects the claim being made about @MrAndyNgo. Is that because the claim is false and #UnverifyAndyNgo is really a coordinated attempt to stigmatize Mr. Ngo and prevent him from continuing to report what is really going on here in Portland?
I live in Portland. When I have checked Ngo's claims about the Portland riots, they turn out to be accurate. This stands in stark contrast to the claims of "protestors" whose portrayal is consistently misleading and clearly exists in service of a dangerous false narrative.
With the mainstream press reporting fiction from Portland, Ngo has become the only window into the violent and incoherent riots nightly riots. It is very clear why he is under attack, and equally clear why no accusation should be entertained without compelling evidence.

Fathers are important, making sons and daughters wiser and more capable. In black America, fatherlessness is disproportionate.

#BLM wants to spread fatherlessness.

Reason suggests we should improve black women's bargaining position instead, so men stick around.
The obvious response is 'Hey wait a minute, #BLM isn't spreading fatherlessness, they are swapping community in for missing fathers'. But that only works where community IS family. It will not work in the U.S. You need STEM to understand why.
Fatherlessness is a result of uneven sex ratios within the black community, which place available men in high demand. Men with options are difficult to pin down. And free black American men are in high demand and behave accordingly. It has nothing to do with being black.
