Over the last few years we've heard, and seen, the social media turn into censors for the leftist movement in the nation, and around the world, even complying with Communist China's demands.
Let's take a look at some recent censorial actions by them. This piece in Townhall.com, Dan Bongino's Youtube Channel Suspended, Demonetized Over COVID 'Misinformation', says:
Youtube suspended and demonetized conservative commentator and Fox
News anchor Dan Bongino's account on Friday over the violation of the
platform's policy on coronavirus misinformation. The suspension was handed down after Bongino claimed in a video that masks are "useless" in preventing the spread of COVID-19. Youtube's misinformation policy states
that users are prohibited from making claims that masks "do not play a
role in preventing the contraction or transmission of COVID-19." This suspension was Bongino's first "strike," meaning he will only endure a weeklong suspension. If
Bongino's account violates the policy again within 90 days, he will be
issued a two-week suspension. And if he receives a third violation
during the same timeframe, his account would be permanently removed from
the platform.
First of all, these shots are not vaccinations, they don't prevent
infection and they don't prevent transmission. They've not been
properly tested, as it normally takes over ten years to go through FDA
requirements before a drug is released to the public, it only took 18
months in this case. So, this is a treatment with an experimental drug, and it's not a vaccination.
However, let's think about this.
In Ireland 99.7% of their
population is vaccinated with these non-vaccinations. If they were so
effective why are people getting sick? Most importantly, if 99.7% of
their population is vaccinated, it must the vaccinated who're getting
sick, not the unvaccinated.
If that's true, and clearly it is, why is there a
mandate to vaccinate since it's clear .......these treatments don't work? If that's true,
and clearly it is, is it possible these treatments may actually make
everyone more susceptible to these viruses?
At least they've told him what standard they have that he's violated, even if he is absolutely correct in his views. The fact is, masks don't work, and may even represent health hazards.
Lockdowns don't work, and not only are the vaccination mandates failing, more and more adverse reactions are being reported, and it's becoming clear these shots (they're not vaccines) represent long term health problems. Its also clear the mentality of much of the world's leader is Pandemic Forever! At some point we may look back on this time as our Thalidomide era.
And this violates their "standards".
Then we have how OAN got the Boot From DirecTV. Ninety percent of their revenue comes from DirecTV, which will probably put them out of business. Why is their contract not being renewed?
CNN Business
notes the network has pushed conspiracy theories and "outright lies" on
various issues, including regarding the coronavirus pandemic and the
2020 election, and that OAN became a favorite of former President Trump
for promoting his own misinformation and for airing his rallies without
commercial breaks. In 2020, YouTube temporarily suspended OAN's account
for COVID-19 misinformation, and the network has also faced recent lawsuits over the election, including a complaint from Dominion Voting Systems claiming the network had defamed it. (Read more DirecTV stories.)
In short, the lies of the main stream media on voter fraud, President Trump and this pandemic fraud are acceptable, but anything that's contrary to that narrative is a conspiracy theory and a lie, which violates their ....standards.
Then we have
Google censoring a world famous and respected climate scientist, noting:
"Dr. Roy Spencer, known as much for his unshakeable
integrity, as for his brilliant work in climate science." ..........Google recently notified Dr. Spencer that it was demonetizing his
website. Now, we’re not talking a fortune of money here. The website
generated maybe enough money from Google AdSense ads to pay for its web
hosting, spam filters and that sort of thing. The website was
demonetized for “unreliable and harmful claims.”............On October 7, 2021, Google
announced it “will prohibit ads for, and monetization of, content that
contradicts well-established scientific consensus around the existence
and causes of climate change.” In other words, Google will dutifully do its part — as a loyal shill
to the progressive establishment — to make life miserable for anyone who
challenges, fact checks or questions the wild climate claims being made
by the UN, EPA, and far-Left climate activists. Dr. Spencer was shocked when Google finally shared the pages on his
site that they found misleading. They were mainly the pages containing
the actual raw satellite temperature data!
Apparently these misfits at Google never heard of De Omnibus Dubitandum, the motto of science meaning Everything is to be Questioned. They also missed the science class where it's was clearly outlined consensus isn't science, it's politics and propaganda. But, that was before so many "scientists" were corrupted with government grant money, and now the holy grail of science is no longer truth. It's grant money. And it isn't just these media outlets that are punishing anyone who challenges the leftist narrative.
The Horror of Our Times has taken an ugly new twist as spineless CEOs and
multitudinous bureaucrats everywhere go running for for cover to escape
coming to the notice of the system known as the Deep State. News
is breaking today that Mike Lindell is being forced to close all bank
accounts at his long-standing bank, Minnesota Bank & Trust and
Heartland Financial.
Well, it looks like I might be doing something right, as I'm now in good company.
On Sunday, January 9, 2022 I posted this article, History Highway, Washington Versus Charlottesville: Who Are the Real Insurrectionists? I also posted it on LinkedIn, and guess what? It turns out this article was in violation of their "Professional Community Policies", and if I wanted more information I follow this link to "Learn more", which I did.
Here's what I found.
I had to "Be Safe", "Be trustworthy", and "Be professional", and it lists a plethora of things that you can't do, and some of it's rational, like about not promoting terrorism, inciting people to violence, and things that most everyone would agree with, including posting false and misleading information.
But that presents a conundrum since it's clearly known what social media sites consider "misleading information" is anything that's in opposition to the leftist narrative, although I felt LinkedIn was better than others about that. And in the "Be Safe" category, there's a lot there that can mean anything they want it to mean.
And I had better not do it again or else.... which is a bit confusing since they never tell me what Professional Community Policy I violated.
Now I will agree that article was long, it was complicated and some might find it a bit boring, but long, complicated and boring isn't listed as a violation of their standards.
Hmmmm I wonder if they read all that boring material?
At any rate, it was all factual, and all that information is available to the public. None of it is made up or speculatory, so it couldn't be called a conspiracy theory, nor could it be claimed I lied. Everything in this piece was provable and public. Everything there was
easily found from many news organizations for anyone wishing to find the
facts. How can merely reporting these events as they occurred be a violation of anyone's Professional Community Policy?
Now, this was the second time I've "violated" their "standards". The first time dealt with this June 19, 2021 with this piece, Lies, Liars, Journalists, Authors, Democrats: Sorry, Repetition for Emphasis!, Part II.
The notice took me to that same site
with a listing a of clabber about their standards, none of which I could see I
violated, all which I really found interesting because the entire piece
they removed dealt with links to articles by a lot of people showing
how journalists, Democrats and authors have been lying about Trump,
about double standards, hypocrisy and stunningly vile behavior. All provable.
And today I received another notice from LinkedIn regarding this article, Political Irony: The Stupid Party and the Party of Treason, which has been removed also, with the same clabber as before.
So, now after three trips to the wood shed guess what have I learned.........Nothing!
Well, that's not entirely true. I've learned the time will come when I won't be allowed to publish anything that shatters any leftist narrative or smacks of truth, justice and the American way on LinkedIn. All this is as pathetic as it is fatal to the survival of the American project.
Conclusion, I will have to practice maskirovka from now on.
