There is a huge amount of noise on the issue of internet censorship that is drowning of the signal.

These are the facts.

In 2017/2018, the Democratic and Republican parties launched a campaign to censor the internet. This bipartisan campaign resurrected a term used by Hitler's Nazi party, "Lügenpresse," rebranding it as "fake news."

As Hillary Clinton write in her 2017 memoir, “WikiLeaks… helped accelerate the phenomenon that eventually came to be known as fake news.”

On Friday, Johns Hopkins will shut down its COVID-19 tracker.

This is the product of a systematic campaign launched one year ago by the Biden Administration aimed at "conditioning Americans" to live with COVID-19 by shutting down data reporting.

Do not be "conditioned." On February 4, 2022, we explained the White House's modus operandi:

"The motto is: Hear no deaths, see no deaths, speak no deaths. But people keep on dying."

We warned of "systematic campaign to end reporting of COVID-19 cases and deaths."

With the FBI declaring that it believes COVID-19 came from a lab leak , what is the actual evidence pointing to the Wuhan Institute of Virology?

Read this thread to find out 👇 The most consistent advocates of the Wuhan lab theory are @R_H_Ebright and @mattwridley.

@R_H_Ebright explained to me in 2022 that he does not know if COVID-19 was engineered or accidentally released, due to lack of "secure evidence."

One year ago, The White House initiated a systematic, planned campaign to end daily COVID-19 case and death reporting, whose aim was to dull public awareness of COVID-19 in order to "condition Americans" to accept perpetual mass infection and death. 1/

The campaign began in early January with discussions between the CDC and Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists of a directive to "would direct states to limit daily case reporting." 2/

Biden has just said the world was on the brink of nuclear Armageddon.

How did things get to this point? A short primer👇 In March 2021, Ukraine's military and civilian leadership approved a plan for retaking Crimea by military means. Ukraine "will move forward in the deoccupation of Crimea," said the head of Ukraine's National Security Council. Image

. @BusinessInsider @kelseyvlamis When is this article going to be corrected?

Its claims have been clearly superseded by the fact that all but four US states have ended daily COVID-19 reporting. Daily case/death reporting has de facto ended in the US. 1/

businessinsider.com/misleading-vir… As the WSWS explained, the end of HHS case and death reporting was the prelude to the states ending daily reporting, which is the means by which all daily federal reporting was ended. Our warnings have proven absolutely, undeniably correct. 2/

NATO head Jens Stoltenberg writes that the alliance is "making the most fundamental shift in Nato’s deterrence and defence since the cold war."

It will cause "soaring energy prices and costs of living" + the "threat of energy cuts, disruptions and perhaps even civil unrest."(1) The "fundamental shift" described by Stoltenberg is outlined by the latest NATO strategy document, which calls on NATO to prepare “for high-intensity, multi-domain warfighting against nuclear-armed peer-competitors.” This includes not only Russia, but also China.

It's taboo in the media to say the economy is in #recession.

The reality is that Federal Reserve has deliberately triggered a recession, with the aim of increasing unemployment and lowering wages.

This is to counterbalance bank bailouts + war spending. 1/ Whenever @LHSummers opens his mouth, it's to rail against the supposed terrestrial paradise for workers created by government spending.

But combining Fed money printing + Cares act spending 9/10 of emergency money went to companies or the markets, not workers. 2/

You say our claim that "US Government to end daily COVID death reporting" is false.
Because the CDC will continue to archive death stats, with a delay of days to weeks. But CDC reporting is not DAILY. It is at the frequency states report.1/
11alive.com/article/news/v… The majority of states do not report EVERY day; many report once per week, and are reducing frequency.

Say you hire me to shovel your driveway every day it snows. Last month I did it every day. I did it "daily." This month I do it once a week. I stopped doing it "daily."

The COVID-19 cover-up

As 3000+ Americans die every single day, the Biden administration is carrying out a campaign to cover up the pandemic and accustom the population to mass death in perpetuity.

On Jan 6 I tweeted the CDC graph on the left, joking that somebody at the White House will change it because it looked too scary. They took my advice and flattened the curve (in the y axis).
