Stanford wants to "govern" how we get information in order to save democracy.

Naturally, they're calling their new censorship initiative, "Project Liberty."

Democracy's saviors, willing and ready! Image
True, they want to control what information you're exposed to. But consider the diversity they bring to the table!
We emailed Stanford's CyberPolicy Center, Stanford Internet Observatory, Obama, & others involved in their censorship efforts, requesting an interview. They turned us down. The lack of transparency speaks volumes. Still, our offer to interview stands.

We sent interview requests to over 50 censorship organizations and just 10 responded and only one has agreed to an interview.

Let this sink in: the people who want to censor what you can read and write don't want to be asked any critical questions about their work.

While these UFO stories can seem crazy, the people sharing them are plainly not. And to deny their testimony out of hand, as many do, reflects unthinking fear.

Thank you @esaagar and @krystalball for your thoughtful discussion of this important topic.

I interview many people in psychotic states. Below you can see our interview with of a psychotic young homeless man.

The top experts I interviewed were the exact opposite: sane, sober, and highly intelligent.

And mil-intel agencies agree, giving all high security clearances.
A better argument than selective, hidden, and weirdly specific psychosis afflicting senior military and intelligence officials is that UFOs are and perhaps always have been a government disinformation or "psyop" campaign waged against the public.

The Pentagon says there's no credible evidence of alien spacecraft, but several military and intelligence contractors with inside information say there is. What's more, these insiders say, U.S. military and intelligence agencies are refusing to provide the evidence to Congress. Image
US Has 12 Or More Alien Space Craft, Say Military And Intelligence Contractors

Military and intelligence agencies are withholding evidence from Congress, sources say

In April, the director of the Pentagon’s new program for studying UFOs said he had seen no evidence of alien… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
But while Grusch has not shared written evidence in an unclassified way, he did provide classified intelligence reports, emails, and other documents to Thomas A. Monheim, the Intelligence Community Inspector General, as the law allows.

San Francisco’s tourism board launched a $6M ad campaign to overcome the city’s global reputation as a drug and crime-ridden hell hole. Six days later, the owner of two of the city’s biggest hotels announced it was abandoning them because it lost faith that the city can recover. ImageImage
“After much thought and consideration, we believe it is in the best interest for Park’s stockholders to materially reduce our current exposure to the San Francisco market… a path to recovery remains clouded and elongated by major challenges, old and new”

Crazy idea for Mayor @LondonBreed & Gov. @GavinNewsom

Why not follow through on your promise to deploy National Guard and CHP rather than spending millions of taxpayer dollars to insist everything is fine?

Air Force veteran says US government retrieved alien space craft and hid it. “There’s a sophisticated disinformation campaign targeting the US public”

“The material includes intact and partially intact vehicles.”

“In his statements cleared for publication by the Pentagon in April, Grusch asserted that UFO “legacy programs” have long been concealed within “multiple agencies nesting UAP activities in conventional secret access… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Few things matter more than equal justice under the law, civilian control over law enforcement, and the separation of powers. We should thus be appalled by the FBI Director's refusal to turn over alleged evidence of Biden corruption.

reuters.com/world/us/fbi-d…
The FBI says, "The escalation to a contempt vote under these circumstances is unwarranted" bc it showed the document to members of Congress. But by sitting on Hunter Biden's laptop since Dec. '19, and retaliating against whistleblowers, the FBI has proven it can't be trusted.
The American people don't trust the FBI, and rightly so. They were sitting on Hunter Biden's laptop since December 2019 while "former" FBI and CIA officials spread a conspiracy theory in the media that it was Russian disinfo.

I've disagreed with @RobertKennedyJr in the past on various issues, but he is currently making a powerful and moving case for the First Amendment. Very inspiring. I encourage everyone to listen in.
Kennedy says the government agencies supposed to be "our protectors" have turned into "our predators."

He condemns elites for "cloaking things in fear and deception."

Kennedy laments that many liberals have gone from being radical free speech defenders to demanding censorship.
Journalists are supposed to "speak truth to power" but have become "propagandists" for government and big corporations.

He condemns that the news media have been captured by big corporations including pharmaceutical companies.
