WashPost just promoted one of the most fraudulent "disinformation studies" yet.

They claim X's refusal (and FB and YouTube's "failure") to censor more facilitates "pro-Russia propaganda".

Analyzing this "study" reveals the fraud on which the "disinformation industry" rests:👇
Part of the motive here is panic in Western power centers over eroding public war support. Slovakia's front-runner opposes more money for Ukraine.

But the main goal is to weaponize fake billionaire-funded "disinformation experts" to ban free discourse:

When trumpeting this EU-study, the WPost omitted that the "disinformation group" used by the EU is Omidyar-funded. All these groups have the same small set of neoliberal-billionaire and CIA/MI6 funding.

It's vital to break down this censorship weapon:

Julian Assange landed today in Australia a free man.

He arrived to what the NYT described as "a hero's welcome." Australia's full political spectrum demanded his release.

The first call Assange received on landing was from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, to welcome him home. Image
The judge, when accepting his plea deal, noted that the US was **unable to identify a single victim** that this supposed crime produced.

Assange's lawyers and wife credited the Australian people for demanding their leaders secure Assange's release.

Assange has been detained for 14 years, and imprisoned in a harsh high-security British prison for 5.

He was never convicted of any crime other than a bail-jumping misdemeanor.

He had extraordinary advocates who worked 15 years to secure his freedom:

There are so many lies that @kaitlancollins allowed career liar Andrew McCabe to tell in this interview about the Assange case with no pushback.

Just to highlight one: WikiLeaks reached out to Hillary's State Dept before publishing cables to ask for input, and they refused.
Whenever someone exposes USG's secret crimes, they always accuse the person of "having blood on their hands."

In 2010, McClatchy -- the only big US outlet to get Iraqi WMDs right -- documented the utter lack of evidence that Assange endangered anyone:

Also: US corporate media always tries to deny "journalist" status to anyone who actually does real adversarial reporting against the US Govt, rather than just doing a Natasha Bertrand of writing down what CIA orders.

Assange won multiple journalism awards around the world:👇

Every media model has dangers: corporate advertisers, billionaires, audience funding.

Independent media is vital, but "audience capture" - fear of angering ideological viewers - is real.

Listen to @ComicDaveSmith on why he has been so vocally critical of Israel despite this:
I urge everyone to watch the repulsive exchange between Ron Paul and Rudy Giuliani at the 2008 GOP debate Dave mentioned.

It shows how blind and repressive the Bush-Cheney-era GOP - and US - were, and still are, to core truths about our foreign policy:

That military aggression by the US and allies (Israel) will produce "blowback" -- meaning the people we bomb will hate us and want to kill us in return -- was created by the CIA!

Yet it's so taboo that TikTok was forced to censor the bin Laden letter because it discuss this. Image

Amazing and infuriating:

To prosecute Hunter Biden, FBI has to say -- and has testified -- that his laptop and every document on it is authentic and unaltered.

Not one media outlet who spread the CIA's bullshit "Russian disinformation" lie has retracted it or apologized: Image
One more time: the people who most loudly and continuously claim that they are combatting "disinformation" are the exact people who spread it most aggressively and easily. Just look:

For weeks before the 2020 election, corporate media and CIA united to fabricate this complete lie to shield Joe Biden from incriminating reporting about his family's business activities in China and Ukraine.

Knowing and willful lies, never retracted:

This exchange alone proves what a pathological liar Fauci is.

One week after receiving emails from top epidemiologists arguing the virus was likely a lab leak, Fauci caused a virtual ban on questioning COVID's origin.

But he's a liberal folk hero so only GOP can raise this:
Before anything was known about COVID's origins, Fauci engineered a fake consensus that it was naturally occurring: in part because he had connections to the Wuhan lab.

People were banned online from questioning or debating it, until even Biden Admin admitted they don't know:👇
Image
Image
And just to show how cynically liberals weaponize racism:

It was decreed that "lab leak theory" was racist even though the more racist theory was theirs: that the Chinese are so unsanitary that filthy wet markets caused it.

The only thing that should have mattered was truth.

Here's the House roll call vote on whether to impose a warrant requirement on domestic spying (yes, the Constitution does that).

The vote was tied 212-212. Speaker Johnson -- despite years of claiming he favored warrants -- cast the decisive NO vote.

clerk.house.gov/evs/2024/roll1…

Among the Dems voting NO on the warrant requirement, giving the US Security State what it wants:

Schiff, Pelosi, Clyburn, Wasserman-Schultz, Lieu, Dan Goldman, Raskin, Thompson (Jan 6 crew).

Among GOP voting NO:

Crenshaw, Lawler, Stefanik, McCaul, Turner, Gallagher.
I have not seen the US Security State or war machine not get what it wants in Washington.

In the face of mass abuse of surveillance power, they just got renewed warrantless spying power on Americans.

They now have Mike Johnson working to get them the $60b to send to Ukraine.
