NEW THREAD 🧵.

The dumbest things Sam Harris said on @triggerpod with video to back it up.

Everyone's seen his insane support for silencing the truth about Hunters laptop, but most haven't seen the other insane/hypocritical stuff he was saying.

Strap in!
Here Sam uses the "Its a private company" argument to justify Trumps ban and says private companies should be able have total freedom of association

Sam however doesn’t agree with his OWN argument and totally contradicts himself. By supporting the Civil rights act
So he wouldn’t normally support legal discrimination But because he hates Trump he pretends to support this argument.

He's showing he has no principles or values because he's willing to abandon them entirely because "Orange man bad"

This guy gives talks on truth and reason BTW
Here he basically says "Look I know I said its my belief that breaking the TOS should be used to ban Trump and he probably didn’t actually break TOS but I think they should ban him anyway because I don’t like the TOS and he violated the rules that don’t exist but I think should"
Here he says Trump and Alex Jones are basically the same person.

Literally the day after this was released Alex Jones came out in support De Santis over Trump
You couldn't write how wrong he is here
He says Trump doxed people because he criticised public media figures and this is another reason he should be banned.

He admits Trump never doxed anyone but should instead be banned for the actions of his worst followers. By this standard anyone with a following would be banned
Also notice he doesn't call for CNN to be banned when the ACTUALLY threatened and doxed the guy who made the Trump wresting meme.

Or the Washington Post to be banned for doxing Libs of TickTok
Here Sam thinks Trump is awful for not committing to a peaceful transition of power. But in the same interview he advocates for and agrees with a state/media conspiracy to affect the election outcome
HOW DARE TRUMP NOT ACCEPT THE RESULTS OF AN ELECTION THAT I WOULD GLADLY RIG AGAINST HIM IF GIVEN THE CHANCE!

HIM NOT ACCEPTING THE RESULTS IS A THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY!
Sam says Trump is worse then the people started the war on terror that killed over a million people, destabilised half a continent, created ISIS, created the migrant crisis, wasted trillions, killed thousands of American soldiers, tortured innocent people to death...
and passed the patriot act that allows the government to illegally spy on millions of its own citizens.

And why is Trump worse? Zero specifics, actions or policies just an emotional word salad of Orange man bad.
Now a total lack of introspection, he doesn’t acknowledge any wrong doing of his side and blames a TV producer and CNN for Trump. he cannot possibly fathom the idea that the liberal world order from which he comes is being rejected for any reason other than propaganda
Its not the wars, the uncontrolled immigration, the constantly expanding government, the corruption, the unaccountability and the same cavalcade of establishment hacks being your only choice.

Its this guys fault!
Here Sam justifies his support for silencing the laptop story because Hillary emails were the deciding factor in the 2016 election because she dipped in the polls

These were the same polls who gave her a 98% chance of victory, but I'm sure they were right here
Note that he never denies that any of the allegations against Hillary were false, he's just disgusted the truth was actually reported on because the truth makes his desired outcome less likely.

"Liberal Values"
Tomas Sowell perfectly summed up Sams elitist world view
"They believe that there exist some people who are further along the path of moral development, and are immune to the influence of power and therefore can act as surrogate decision-makers for the rest of society."
Thanks for reading if you made it this far please give it a RT as it took hours to make!

There are some blatant lies and misrepresentations here by Ciara Smyth

But she gives an A+ lesson in how establishment figures manipulate data to control public opinion.

Here's a quick thread breaking it down
#RTEUpfront
Firstly she says

"The number of international applications are actually tiny"

This is obviously false because 2022 had the highest figures in history with 13,651

But this lie isn't the important part. Its what she says next that's the real manipulation Image
She then mentions the 100k+ Ukrainians that have been granted asylum here.

But she uses flowery language to dismiss entirely the massive burden this enormous influx of people has put on the Irish people.

She says things like "Unusual, significant, EU framework, experiment"

(1/10) IMMIGRATION THREAD 🧵

The Irish have been relatively insulated from mass migration when compared to other parts of Europe

But now it's becoming more prevalent and people are being called racist for noticing, so what do the other EU countries think about immigration? 🧵
(2) PEW research did a large survey of EU opinions on immigration in 2018, here are some results

As you can see the majority of Europeans 51% want reduced immigration and only 10% want it increased.
(3) This data completely contradicts the viewpoint that anti mass immigration is a "Small" or "Far Right" opinion. It is over 5x more popular then increased immigration which is exactly what is happening in Ireland

Here is a new THREAD 🧵 proving once and for all how utterly pointless and ineffective covid restrictions have been in Ireland.

This is because we can now compare how two covid waves act with and without restrictions! (1/15)
(2/15) Ireland had a wave of covid that began to rise in early March. By the end of the month the positivity rate was 46% the second highest its ever been.
(3/15) The number of covid postive patients in hospital nearly tripled to 1,600. This is the also the second highest its ever been and is even higher than it was last winter where numbers peaked around 1100

THREAD 🧵 (1/11) Varadkar is telling partial truths and outright fear mongering here to get his way.

He is not defending Ireland he is selling it out!
(2/11) Firstly I'm not opposed to Ireland having a stronger military to protect our sovereignty and national interests.

Varadkar however wants a stronger military so we can end our 70 year neutrality and have it used by the EU/UN to further its interests whatever they may be
(3/11)Varadkar is a pure globalist and wants to strip away our sovereignty and have us fall in line with the global hegemony. As he says above;
"System of the west, focused on multinationalsism" also notice he prioritises defence of the EU before defence of Ireland in the speech.

THREAD: AUSTRALIAN COVID MADNESS
Most people have been horrified by the tyrannical madness out of Australia. With politicians and police acting like dictators and their jack booted enforcers

So here is a thread of the craziest most authoritarian things that have happened so far
1: Lets start with perhaps the most sickening of all, Four newborn babies died because they were denied heart surgery because of Covid restrictions.

For a disease with an age of death above life expectancy and >99% survival rate

fee.org/articles/four-…
2: Homes of people who are quarantining must have sign displaying their quarantine status by law.

Its important that all those around you are aware of your private medical data

THREAD(1/21)The media and politicians have started pushing for further restructuring of society because of Climate change. Their climate predictions to justify this are horrifying.

So lets look at the last 50 years of climate predictions and see how they stack up?
(2/21) Salt Lake Tribune 1967: ‘Dire famine by 1975.’
Research by Stanford University
(3/21) New York Times in1969 states that because of pollution ‘Everyone will disappear in a cloud of blue steam by 1989.’
