An objective fact—a reminder—for my reasonable friends: never in the history of the world has there been a global push to administer an experimental medicine to absolutely everyone in the world, billions of us, at the same time. | via startthis.org/?p=1370
It utterly boggles the mind that so many otherwise reasonable people have been influenced to think this is a good idea.
You have to be willing to trust the welfare of *humanity* not just to the honesty of our brave leaders, not just their decency, not just their competence, but their actual *success* in making a safe vaccine.
The hubris required for carrying out this plan, and for taking the lead in propagandizing the world to carry it out, is jaw-dropping and scary. If you are willing to take such gambles with all of humanity, what else are you prepared to do? I really wonder.
If suddenly you became a president or top medical system leader media org owner, would *you* want to take an action that, if you were wrong, might spell the death of millions?
Sorry, but...

Of course, Christians are not under the law, and they certainly cannot pick and choose which moral rules they wish to respect based on political convenience. | via startthis.org/?p=1321
The Atlantic bemoans an " 'infodemic'—involving the viral spread of misinformation, as well as the mingling of facts with half-truths and falsehoods in a fractured media environment—has compounded the COVID-19 pandemic."
A "counterterrrorism" org formed by Big Tech is expanding a database of "extremist content" they share, "aiming to crack down on...white supremacists and far-right militias".
My views haven't changed; but the Overton Window is sliding left all the time.
We need to know their real, operational definition of "extremist," etc. Is Covid skepticism extremism? Supporting Trump? Skepticism about the 2020 elections?
Much of the "woke" and "cancel" culture of the last seven years or so (it really started ramping up around 2014) is basically softening up the culture for an all-out attack on the #Bible and Christians. Just wait. It won't be pretty. | via startthis.org/?p=1265
Women preachers? Well, let's just say that the people who endorse the practice are the same sort of people who are comfy with creative interpretations of large parts of the Bible.
Whatever you're tweeting about is not as important as the fact that the Biden administration announced last wk that it coordinates with Facebook to censor online content. Thread:
Because it's real, live government censorship. They can say, "Well, we're just having our experts flag misinformation," but, and this is the important point:
That is the government participating in censorship.
It's illegal. Seriously.
How did we get here? A combination of things.
(a) There has been a steady drumbeat from governments and NGOs (to say nothing of other influential institutions) globally about "misinformation" and "fake news." So it is an Establishment talking point.
