Urban Black America Leaves Gov Schools for Homeschooling

Paul Collier September 13, 2021

This article by NBC news is covering a growing trend in mostly inner city schools of black parents choosing to homeschool their children. Though this is a trend that’s nationwide, seeing homeschooling rising among black communities, especially poor communities, is something worth taking note. The NBC article interviews some black parents who talk about why they choose to homeschool their children. They chose to focus on these families that all seem to echo some shared concern that the schools themselves are still fundamentally racist, in terns of the inequality of the resources provide to predominantly black schools and in terms of how the teachers themselves teach their black students.

As NBC news is not a trusted source for news due to its ties to the DNC, one would easiliy be dismissive of the claims of racism in our public schools by these parents, but, to me, it fits my understanding of the nature of the moral supremacist who crows the most. These folks more often than not end up being the worst offenders of the very moral constructs they are seeking to police with great militant viligance.

These parents are in the very bellies of the DNC beasts, where political competition is dead, and they can bilk the land of its goods while giving voice to the plea of the needy in their communities that they continually faily to address. Rather, from within their own centers of power, the disenfranchised zones of America, it is their party that has reigned with an iron fist for more than 70 years, perpetually perpetuating, it you will, the oppressions of the disenfranchised they build their moral power around.

Unfortunately, many of these same parents will most likely not recognize that the source of this perpetuation of racist oppression is the power in their own neighborhoods, for 70 plus years, that continued to allow these same neighborhoods to be perpetual sources for moral power, bought by the very real oppression people face that are born into these uncertain, unsecure, unhealthy, undeveloping war zones dotted with crusing guards from outside the community (the police) who seem just as sick of the people they allegedly serve as the people they serve are sick of them as well.

Still, for whatever reason these parents are removing their children from school, and whoever they blame for their very real pain and suffering, it is good when people take steps towards self-sustainability and determination and away from dependence on a large-scale system that will always only see you as a useful cog, an expendible pawn, or detritus fit for the flames.

Why more Black families are choosing to homeschool their children this fall

Excerpt:

As schools begin reopening across the country, in Chicago, Angela Valentine says her 12-year-old son, Dorian, will not be returning. Instead, he will be home-schooled.

“I just began to see some telltale signs that things weren’t working to our advantage,” she said. “And started to see some discrepancies, some inequities.”

Some of those discrepancies involved her son’s academics. Valentine said that as Dorian’s grades slipped last year, before the coronavirus pandemic closed classrooms, his school failed to give him adequate support and solutions for subjects in which he was weak. Her son was one of only a few Black boys in his class, and he said his social interactions changed over time. Other students suddenly stopped playing with him. He told her that he spends recess on the swings by himself.

“We later found out that he was called the N-word,” Valentine said.

Fake News is Something Normies Can Smell, MIT Says

Paul Collier September 10, 2021

When the news media first started to build the fake news narrative, the thought of many at that time was this, if human beings in America are not able to discern what real and fake news actually is, this is a reflection of the poor quality of our government schools. When the response to this ‘threat’ was to push for censorship on social media platforms, many responded that training people to discern fake news from real news (really, just training them to be crticial thinkers and how to use the internet to find more objective-type date to figure things out for yourself) would be way more effective and not fundamentally in violation of the spirit of the Bill of Rights, to live dangerously in freedom, ESPECIALLY when it comes to expression, and even more esssentially when it comes to news reporting.

A new study might give the public schools a bit of a defense, while indicting those who would have you believe humans are too stupid to figure out when people are making things up. You might fool them to some degree, but ultimately people have a heuristic understanding of inauthenticity, of fakeness.

A study from MIT suggests that regular readers have proven to be as effective as professional fact-checkers at discering fake stories from real stories. The study itself, however, is not being used to push back against the gatekeeper approach, protecting the dumbs from the dangerous misinformations, but rather to develop models in which you utilize reader groups of proportional representational size to fact-check the content users post on a given social media platform (in this case, Facebook).

Scienceblog itself refers to the problem of misinformation in its opening senten.ce from the article we blurb from below,

In the face of grave concerns about misinformation, social media networks and news organizations often employ fact-checkers to sort the real from the false. But fact-checkers can only assess a small portion of the stories floating around online.

“Grave concerns” is the tone this site chose to reflect, missing, like, perhaps, MIT itself, the broader ramifications of its study, that no filters are needed at all, and that if you took the time to educate people on how to discern stories for themselves you would be far more effective in actually screening out misinformation, but then again, its not misinformation these platforms hope to contain, for misiniformation is regularly approved at the highest levels of government and media and news on an almost daily basis, rather its the orthodox version of reality, in terms of the phenomenology of it, as well as the moral, social, and cultural version of reality.

The DNC theorizes, based on the CCP model of recent decades, that they need not worry about loss of productive excellence at the highest levels being so affected by taking so much control over the lives of the people of the land they coercively control.

Thus, where concentrated power perceives it can extend itself and cut itself off from competition going forward, it will do so, and this is the reality of power assumption of the DNC, an ambition that would be fundamentally threatened if the perception of the the threat of misinformation to the welfare of others no longer held sway over any significant portion of humans that live in this land, and this study certainly lends credence to the opposing fear-based narrative of the DNC.

A new study by MIT researchers suggests an alternate approach: Crowdsourced accuracy judgements from groups of normal readers can be virtually as effective as the work of professional fact-checkers.

“One problem with fact-checking is that there is just way too much content for professional fact-checkers to be able to cover, especially within a reasonable time frame,” says Jennifer Allen, a PhD student at the MIT Sloan School of Management and co-author of a newly published paper detailing the study.

But the current study, examining over 200 news stories that Facebook’s algorithms had flagged for further scrutiny, may have found a way to address that problem, by using relatively small, politically balanced groups of lay readers to…

Xi XingPing Thought to Be Mandatory Reading for Children in China

Paul Collier September 10, 2021

Xi Xinping has issued a decree in China that has instantly become law with the full force of policing ready, able, and willing to execute violent consequences should anyone dare defy it. He has issued a decree that your neighbor will not protecy you from when the police knock on your door. He has issued a decree that will gain the instant overwhelming approval of the public faces of the people you see everyday in your daily living.

I juat want to give you a sense of the scope of the control one man holds over a nation that is the 4th largest in terms of land size and number one as far as population in all the world, a major nation-state in the world to be sure, if I can use such lowkey expressions to reflect the true scope of the current geo-economic power the nation-state of China currently possesses on the world stage.

This decreee is about assuring that the children of China, all being sent to mandatory government schools (homeschooling is not a real option, though underground homeschools exist), be taught the new dictates of the demigod-esque leader of China, Xi Xinping, a man we simply refer to as Chairman Xi as it fits the pattern of perhaps his biggest influence as we are seeing this man emerge, Mao Zedong (though his Socialism with Chinese Characteristics is not exactly the same as Chairman Mao’s).

The similarities have more to do with the type of legitimization of power that both men relied upon, which was an apppeal to the ancient Chinese doctrine of the Middle Kingdom, the place where heaven and earth meet, China, and in this exchange of human and nature, the will of heaven is seen in the fruit of the people and the land. This is commonly referred to as the mandate of heaven, and while Chairman Xi is more explicit in this, and more willing to directly refer to the ancient traditions where this ideal was formed and tested, Mao Zedong utilized the terminology of Marx to describe the same type of thing, but instead of the mandate of heaven it was the mandate of the people, only by the people he was only referring to revolutionairies, for everyone else was part of the problem. Mao was no traditionalist.

There are many parallels that can be drawn to the efforts of Chairman Xi to indoctrine the chilldren to think like the party, and the party is Xi, make no mistake about that, and what the DNC is attempting to do by indoctrinating children to think like the party, the DNC. Those similarities have to do with the types of claims Xi and the DNC Apparatchik Class utilize to validate the use of coercion against people for havng opinions or claims of truth that challenge the official party narrative.

The DNC has a particular moral construct it finds useful in undermining the vehicle of power of its opponents, which are very different than the type of opponents the CCP finds itself facing. The DNC has risen to power exploiting the plea of the most needy in the land within contexts that had not been given such hyper focus and concern (not in the polls, however, where economony consistently still rates at the top most all of the time) until the last 10 years, with the last two years seeing an escalation of hyper-consensequential racist and bigoted violations of the new party code.

Now charges of racism and bigotry are as powerful at ending the viablility of a person’s life as being called a witch was back in the early 1600s. The parallels between that reign of moral panic terror and this one are so rich and deep that I have little doubt there will be many books written on those parallels for, perhpas, decades to come, maybe more. It is an extraordinary time in the scope of human history. This is is not a drill, we significantly live in extraordinary times.

The use of failure to meet social orthodoxy is the fundamental method of control that’s being deployed here. This is a tactic hardly ever used effectively to control a large-scale audinece if the faction using this method does not control to 80 percent or more all of the fundamental social and culture affirming, creating, and protecting institutions of the land. These would be the banks, the board rooms, the Federal government, the media, the schools, the news, and emerging tech.

I believe the DNC Empire, if I can call it that, because its coalition of power really does comprise distinct ‘provinces’ that preserve distinct characteristics only bonded by the usefulness of a larger scale structure of support. has such a level of control on the land today here in America, across the board, at 80 percent or more, but that Empire is not the Kingdom that Xi currently rules (though they have begun to venture into their own Empire building, something we have been tracking for a while now).

China is a Kingdom of 99 percent one ‘race,’ the Han race, and Xi and the Middle Kimgdom aims to keep it that way. People there mostly fit within a socially orthodox visual range of acceptable visual characteristics. China is the very type of nation-state the DNC claims to be against, an ethno-state. Yet their alliance still makes perfect sense to me for, like the CCP that Xi derives his legitiamcy of power partially from (it’s ultimately from the mandate of heaven), both parties use the tool of socio-cultural orthodoxy, but one is using it to take power and the other is using it to keep power.

Xi appeals to the moderately well-off Chinese. He is a conservative, and in a profoound sense as well, for he is seeking to revitalize the teachings of Confucius, he is appealing to the ancient history of China and its traditions as the base of his power, and the base of power for China in becoming the new leader of the world.

The DNC is still largely in the insurrectionist role, at least socio-culturally, for, while they have achieved great gains in conditioning society to be much more reflective of DNC values (some of which will still ultimatly be part of their undoing and many on the ‘right’ now opposed to some of those changes will ultimately be happy they happened), they still have yet to undo within the bulk of Americans the sense of one might call rights entiitelment that comes from growing up in a land in which you perceive (in part rightly, in part falsely) that appealing to the rights iterrated in the Bill of Rights is enough to shut down whole police departments, is enough to give families of victims of those whose rights have been violated, millions for the harm.

So they appeal to the moral violations that affect their ‘constituency,’ the people who perceive (to some degree rightly, to some degree falsely) that the way things are is a fundamental threat to their potential to live lives of their own choosing (thoughn they rarely think of it in those terms, more often equating their preferential way of living to THE morally correct way of living that everyone must comply with or face coercive consequences). They set to flame whatever moral vulnerabilities the current socio-religio-cultural institutions are vulernable to. In this tactic, the DNC is far more like Mao than Xi, which, by my theoretical pondering, is more a reflection of Mao being at the beginning of seeking to recreate a socialist China like the D,C would ultimately create if it were to fully rid the American lands of any signficiant number of people that uphold the values of the Bill of Rights, and recognize their power in protecting the weak from the strong, will be a refection of the usefulnes of the structure to meet the current power need of the DNC when it reaches consolidation.

For now, it is enough for the DNC to focus on closing the deal, on fully cementing its hold on power by ridding the land of the Bill of Rights constructs. So long as it is successful in continuing to reinforce the notion that all of the land views threats to other races by dangerous whites as necessitating the rights espoused in those 10 amendments to our American Constitution, more and more is chipped away at the core of the resistance to the DNC world the DNC seeks to create, a world that might be described by them at some point as Socialism with Chinse Characteristics, though the Socialism part in America, as well as what exists in China, will be in name only, as it wlll simply be a police state that controls as much as it can without cutting off productive output from the highest to the lowest levels, what China essentially is today.

Both China and the DNC still rely on the same method, fundamentally, of control, the use of failure to meet social orthodoxy, a penalty that could be worthy of death itself in some circumstances, certainly one that, more often than not, requires market, social, and cultural removal, to be depersoned for the crime of having bad thoughts that you dared express publicly.

We live in extraordinary times. We are soon to find out if the DNC has consolidated power in America, and if Chairman Xi can keep his Kingdom together while the mandate of heaven appears to frown on him and he prepares to insert Chinese troops and personnel into nations around the world.

Excerpt:

Sep 4th 2021

ASK MEMBERS of China’s elite—from senior officials to academics at leading universities, well-known commentators or bosses at big companies—to explain the beliefs of the country’s leader, Xi Jinping, and their replies are surprisingly unhelpful. Even simple questions elicit waffly answers. Take an ongoing campaign to clip the wings of some of China’s largest firms, notably technology giants. The authorities have variously accused such businesses of seeking excessive profits, harming national security with a cavalier approach to data, abusing workers, bullying smaller firms or exploiting young consumers with addictive video games and online fan clubs. Is Mr Xi revealing himself as an ideologue, bent on re-imposing Communist Party control over the economy at the expense of growth? Or is he more pragmatic than that: a nationalist strongman who is helping to make China stable at home and mighty abroad? There is chatter among the country’s grandees, but no consensus.

Given such confusion among grown-ups, this is a bold moment to issue a new series of textbooks to all students in Chinese schools, colleges and universities, with the aim of explaining Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for the New Era, as Mr Xi’s political philosophy is formally known.

As the academic year began on September 1st, teachers and lecturers began distributing these books, tailored for each age-group, down to children as young as six. The use of stand-alone schoolbooks devoted to a serving leader marks a break with decades of caution. The last time that hundreds of millions of youngsters clutched books devoted to the wisdom of one man was under Mao Zedong, the object (and instigator) of a disastrous personality cult.

Books for the young are especially revealing, for they have to keep their messages simple. Primary schools have long taught the general rudiments of ideology. Via courses with names like “ethics and law”, children have studied…

Half the Country Still Questions Biden Presidencial Legitimacy

Half the Country Still Questions Biden Presidential Legitimacy

Paul Collier September 8, 2021

Recent polls show the nation is just about split on the question of whether the 2020 Presidential election was legitimate, and thus, is Joe Biden a legitimate question. Let’s paint this new fact in the context of the reality of power we find ourselves in, one in which the DNC machine controls, almost completely, the narrative of daily discourse.

Corpowoketarianz of the DNC machine control the media, the culture, the Federal government, and the means of digital public discourse. All of their efforts have been to use heavily coercive, subhumanizing, threatening tactics to bury the notion that Joe Biden was duly elected in a right and proper manner and no questions should be asked that might even hint at something that could diminish this orthodox assertion of the powers that be.

The reality of the election is not the relevent focus here, rather, the revelation you should take from the fact that, even after all the threats, the brutal market assassination, all the propaganda, the whole system is so untrustworthy and unbelievable itself that it cannot even convince more than half the country that the election itself was legitimate.

Methinks if the DNC machine made this much effort to convince people the earth was not flat, suddenly, the nation would be divided about whetther the world was flat, not because a flat earth is credible, but because ANYTHING this machine tries to force on you and convince you with their horrid propaganda bits, be they news reports or new ‘superhero’ movies becomes immediately discredited by a minimum of half the country, and I suspect they’re going to lose even more, and are already losing more and know it.

Excerpt:

Nearly one year into his presidency, 70% of Republicans maintain that Joe Biden was not legitimately elected President of the United States, while 22% concede that he was. Those results are according to the most recent exclusive Suffolk University/USA TODAY poll of U.S. registered voters. Meanwhile, 96% of Democrats believe Biden was duly elected. In January, those statistics were nearly identical—nothing has changed.

The table below with results from the poll highlights that Joe Biden’s legitimacy is not the only point of partisan contention. Republican and Democratic registered voters have entirely different views on what the biggest challenges for the country have been over the last 20 years. Democrats’ low historical ranking of the 9/11 attacks was likely underscored by their opinion that domestic terrorism is a much more serious challenge to our security today than foreign terrorism (81-13). Meanwhile, Republicans saw foreign terrorism as being more challenging (53-40).

There is a Mass Breakout of YouTube Tourette’s

Paul Collier September 2, 2021

Editorial – Psychiatrists noticed that there seemed to be an uptick of people being diagnosed as having Tourette’s. Some of them started to developing a trend. Many of these people had been diagnosed as having Tourettes despite the fact that the symptoms they were manifesting don’t actually align with Tourettes. Rather, as they would eventually allegedly discover, this seemed to be a phenomenon that was taking place through YouTube, where a whole group of youths were developing these sortsof Tourrette’s like symptoms that can be seen in many content creators that cater to this demographic,

It is possible, theoretically, that YouTube has experienced its first viral oubreak of the sociogenic category, that is, socially created patterns of behavior that produce unstabilizing patters to the world around the action. Somehow, a whole subgroup within this larger demographic has developed a new Tourrette’s like disorder that emerged from the culture the YouTubers had created.

Perhaps Twitter has been feeding a sociogenic virus for a long time, called Woketarianizm, but that’s another story, still, the connection is not unmerited. Twitter’s culture creators are the moderators and the rules they use to justify their actions, actions that affect people at existential levels given the domination of Twitter in a social media space where a vast swathe of major institutional public discourse takes place. And if you’re not on Twitter, you’re not talking to America, let alone the world,

That type of influence on the habits of human action is far more profound than what ever could have emerged in this YouTube culture that produced their own sociogenic virus. The severity and breadth of the sociogenic illnesses these platforms can crearte when in the hands of ideologues, in general, well, I could say it would be frightening but we are in the midst of the fruit of that reality.

Better for the acceptable orthodox media, of which iflscience.com is one, to attack the smaller sociogenic viruses that emerge from the result of wanna-be tyrants to distract from the much larger and more invasive and consequential sociogenic viruses these platforms have been creating.

Psychiatrists Report Mass Outbreak Of Sociogenic Illness Spread Via Social Media Videos

From www.iflscience.com
2021-09-01 14:58:00

Excerpt:

A team of psychiatrists has reported what they’re calling “the first outbreak of a new type of mass sociogenic illness” that is spread by social media alone.

Published in the journal Brain, the team reports that they have seen a “remarkably high number” of young patients who had been referred to their specialist Tourettes clinic in Hannover, all displaying “nearly identical” movements and vocalizations. The patients not only had similar movements but also said a lot of the same words as each other when experiencing a “tic”, regardless of the language they were speaking it in.

Words included “fries”, “bomb”, “flying sharks”, and, most concerningly, “Heil Hitler”.

Another strange aspect to the tics, and not seen usually in Tourette’s patients, was that their vocalizations shifted pitch whenever they had a “vocal tic”, their voice becoming much lower than usual.

Though all the patients had been diagnosed with the childhood-onset chronic combined motor and vocal tic disorder, Tourette’s syndrome, before being referred to the clinic, the team noted that the tics were unusual, and unknown in Tourettes syndrome. However, they had seen the tics before: on the YouTube channel “Gewitter im Kopf” (“Thunderstorm in the Brain”).

The channel, presented by Jan Zimmermann, documents life with Tourettes syndrome.

“Judging from the videos, he indeed suffers from a mild form of Tourette syndrome,” the team write in their paper. “On this YouTube channel, however, he shows a countless number of movements, vocalizations, words, phrases, and bizarre behaviours that he claims are tics, but are clearly functional in nature.”

“For the majority of the shown symptoms, there are obviously strong situational contexts with exclamations of long sentences with insults, swear words, and obscenities that are in this form unknown in Tourette…

Hunter Biden Laptop Reparman Loses to Twitter in Federal Court, Badly

Paul Collier September 2, 2021

It appears that the computer repairman that turned over the Hunter Biden laptop will be paying Twitter’s legal fees after losing in Federal court badly. John Paul Mac Isaac claimed Twitter’s throttling of information alleged to have come from that laptop pretty much made him appear to be a hacker, which would do serious damage to his business.

The Court disagreed. It dismissed the case with prejudice and ordered the repairman to pay Twitter’s legal fees. Not being a lawyer myself, it is diffiuclt to determine the soundnes of this ruling, but, on the surface, it seemed a bit of a reach to attempt to sue Twitter for this, not that I’m losing sleep about Twitter facing lawsuits.

Still, it is a big win for Twitter, for better or for ill, and a bad loss for our computer repairman, for better or worse.

Court Dismisses Lawsuit Against Twitter Over Ban on Hunter Biden Laptop Story

Excerpt:

A federal court in Florida has dismissed a defamation lawsuit filed against Twitter by the Delaware computer repairman who briefly captured national attention during the Hunter Biden laptop story. The lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be filed again, and the plaintiff was ordered to pay Twitter’s attorneys’ fees.

John Paul Mac Isaac sued the technology giant (and a wholly-owned subsidiary) in February. He argued that Twitter’s decision to lock The New York Post‘s account while Post staffers “attempted to post and disseminate its exposé [about the lurid contents of the laptop] on the social media platform” was akin to calling him a hacker because Twitter cited its rationale for the time-limited ban as a violation of Twitter’s rules against “distribution of hacked material.”

“Further actions taken by Defendant Twitter in response to the NY Posts’s story included limiting the distribution of the story by others on its social media platform pursuant to the same policy thereby spreading the belief among its users, including Florida resident users, that the Plaintiffs is a hacker,” the lawsuit, filed with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, alleged.

See Your Unborn Baby in 3D Virtual Reality

Paul Collier September 1, 2021

A new device that’s billed as a tool to help Mothers bond with their unborn babies is promising to deliver a virtual reality encounter with a pregnant woman’s unborn child. The tool will also allow you to create 3D models of the unborn child, but, more impactfully, it will allow you to virtually interact with your child in physical space, and you can watch your child grow and change inside you week to week.

But the tool will also have another impact, one that many will have already figured out before they read a word I am writing here right now. This tool will disarm the efforts by pro-choice advocates to dehumanize the unborn, to make of them something that can be disposed for any reason, any reason whatsoever, up to and including even birth. A tool like this, if it spreads, and more and more people share their experiences on social media, the humanization of the unborn will become more and more apparent, and harder and harder to ignore.

The necessity to subhumanize is required in a land where the aborting of life is not only legal, but the corporate powers that be overwhelmingly assumes should be the moral right of the land, a moral right that might even be worth protecting from dissenting views alone.

DNC House Targets CCP Corps on US Exchanges

Paul Collier September 1, 2021

In the complicated relationship that is the DNC and the CCP, the frenemies that have, until recently, been more friend than enemy, the methods of shifting the balance of power to favor this or that side when it comes to the hardball negotiating can become ultimately sabotaging to the ability of two camps that, at least for now and the near-foreseeable future, kind of both need each other to make the others’ dreams come true.

The US Hoouuse, led by the Democrats, in the case, the direct party that finds itself in that frenemy space with the CCP, is seeking to perhaps either clip some of the wings of their CCP counterparts, or maybe only bluster just to show that, if they wanted, they could clip those wings. They are conducting investigations into the listing of some Chinese companies on their US exchanges, which follows the announcement by China that many American “data-driven” mega-corps might find themselves de-listed on their exchanges, or more, facing draconian regulations that mgiht all-but cut off that fat Chinese markets from the corporations in America that desperately need that Chinese revenue if they are to continue to use their platforms to adviance ideology and not serve diverse pluralistic cultures and beliefs that we Americans represent.

If the corporations must actually produce products the plurality of Americans, across our diverse divides, likes, then they cannot continue to advance their current chosen vehicle of power to hopefully cut off competition from the poors for generations to come. But, to make that transition, to end the Bill of Rights constructs of the land and to replace it with a return to a sort of priest-king model of the Bronze Age, the mega-corps, the corpo-nations, maybe, nations into themselves, with budgets that many actual nation-states would love to have, must have a source for revenue

That’s where China comes in. But China herself still needs America, the America the DNC offers, and still needs the DNC to finish off the Bill of Rights constructs of the land, to end the more fundamental threat to their plans, not the people in this land, but the ideas in the Bill of Rights that many poors, including their own, would quickly recognize as giving them protection against the tyranny of the majority, be it the numerical or by measures of power.

My bet is China will have to walk back some of their restrictions newly placed on America to gain access to her fatty markets and the DNC will produce a little pony show to send a message to the Chinese that they have teeth as well, and also to keep people off their trail when it comes to their alliance with the CCP itself. How can you say they are allied with the CCP when they are investigating their companies that are listed on our exchanges?

Of course, at least in this article, I think I’ve already explained how I can say that. This type of working for and against other parties is not even new, nor unique to our current age, when we can just look at the relationship betwen Russia and Turkey to see how it is that two “allies” can also be enemies in other spheres. There are times when some Turkish military assets are being assisted by Russian military assets while in another part of the world Russian drones and Turkish drones are battling each other over another poor nation that finds itself being used as a war games proving ground for the world powers’ new toys, especially those drones.

And so it is with the DNC and the CCP, frenemies, and the DNC is sending a message to its frenemy, we can do this to your companies as well, so back off.

The Power of Big Social to Control Your Religious Beliefs

Christian groups around the world are beginning to wonder if the international monopolies on social media might just be used as filters to prevent their worldviews from gaining access to the public stage, which is, de facto, social media overwhelmingly.

They’re not the only groups complaining or worrying about this type of control being placed in the hands of a few billionaires. Other groups are also finding it difficult to get through the filters imposed from on high, and this experience only promises to repeat itself for an increasing range of groups that hold beliefs outside the accepted orthodoxy of the state and the corporation (and where the one begins and the other hands, who knows, the lines at this time are very blurred, if they exist at all).

The question is, what can be done about this? Should we use the state to resuce us from corporate tyranny, and thus empower the state to control the de facto public square, social media? That’s already happpening in many countries, with others also choosing to attempt to build their own nationalist social media platforms safe from the prying filters and promotions of the corpostates within them that are increasingly being thought of as being de facto states that maybe, at some point, should be dealt with as such.

Big Tech might very well find itself hoisted on its own success, and its willingness to spend that success so recklessly to serve the agenda of a petty party, the DNC, because orange man bad or conservatives are evil or whatever other cartoon villain narrative you’d like to choose. But it pushed too far, and now, people are starting to realize how much power it is, and some of those people have real power, government gun power, and they will soon be using it, even as some already have.

The power of major internet companies like Facebook, Amazon, YouTube, and Twitter over public life is a particular threat to religious groups that focus on controversial issues like abortion, marriage, and sexuality, several commentators said at a roundtable last week. These groups should prepare for the possibility of censorship and organize effective countermeasures, they said.

“You might not know the hour nor the day you will be censored,” Joshua D. Holdenreid, vice president and executive director of the California-based Napa Legal Institute, said at a roundtable on internet censorship.

Holdenreid said those involved in public debates “need to plan ahead and assume that if they are a religious organization or faith-based organization operating in the public square and focused on an issue that’s related to pro-life (topics), marriage, sexuality, Christian anthropology, they should just assume that they will eventually run afoul of these vague and arbitrary terms and…
