As The World Burns…

Michael Cessna October 13, 2022

As any sane person in the world nervously watches the continuous back-and-forth between Russia and the West over Ukraine, wondering if they are going to see mushroom clouds start sprouting over their cities, Emperor Joe and his deranged courtiers are doing their absolute best attempt at impersonating Emperor Nero (or, perhaps, Elagabalus). With the potential of World War 3 looming (not that the dissolute Imperial Swamp Court believes that it could really happen, so why not play with nuclear toys?), the Imperial Court (I could call them the “Legion of Doom,” but they’re not cool enough) have decided that they need to continue the geopolitical game – the one they should have been paying more attention to, that is – by plotting to be invited to invade, of ALL places…Haiti.

…What?

Oh, yes. Haiti.

Haiti has long been ranked as one of the poorest nations in the world. With a low-end economy based on minuscule agricultural and mining sectors, the country’s only real manufacturing sector involves pennies-on-the dollar clothing manufacture; in fact, the country’s only real claim to economic fame, is that it supplies around half of the world’s supply of “vetier oil” (an essential oil used in high-end perfumes). Otherwise, the country is, almost literally, a “banana republic.” As a result, Haiti can’t even capitalize on a tourism industry, although it is well-suited to one, since most vacationers dislike chilling on the beach while the country literally disintegrates around them.

*Royal Decameron Indigo Beach Resort & Spa, Cote des Arcadins, Haiti, 2015.*

The main reason for this disintegration, is the political instability that followed the demise of the Duvalier dynasty in 1986. After “Baby Doc” was forced to flee the country, Haiti tried to recover from the depredations of that regime, but it suffered from continual economic decline, political instability, repeated coups d’état, and a wave of major earthquakes.

Which brings us to Jovenel Moïse.

*Haitian President Jovenel Moïse, 2019. US Dept. of State photo.*

Elected to the Presidency of Haiti in early 2017, Moïse had started out as a local businessman. His ideas earned him the attention of a center-right political policy, that would catapult him into the Presidency of the island nation. Despite accusations of a corrupted election, Moïse did make notable progress in developing both infrastructure projects, as well as launching new initiatives to expand Haiti’s agricultural sector, by improving rice production.

However, continued controversy over when Moïse’s actual term of office was supposed to end continued to simmer. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, a group of what can only be described as “hitmen” stormed Moïse’s residence in the early morning hours of 7 July 2021. Like many rulers in the world, Moïse’s residence had little real security; in fact, only six police officers were present that night – two were active informants to the attackers and the other four did their best to do nothing at all.

What followed could be favorably described as a “Keystone Kops” caper, had no one actually died. The survivors of the 26 actual attackers would later claim that they had been hired – via WhatsApp, of all things – to be security for Moïse…who were then informed that the mission was actually to kidnap the president, although several of them apparently knew well in advance that the real plan was to assassinate him. Video and audio evidence showed the attackers shouting via a bullhorn that the operation was a US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) operation, which at least help to momentarily confuse Haitian authorities.

There followed a wild chase through the capital of Port-au-Prince, as police and civilians tried to hunt down the suspects who were now fleeing in panic, as it seems that no one had thought through what might happen afterwards. Eleven of the suspects broke into the Embassy of Taiwan, apparently seeking sanctuary, but were promptly arrested after Taiwan waived the embassy’s extraterritoriality status to allow the attacker’s arrest.

Bookmark that last – we’ll come back to it.

The subsequent investigation revealed a tangled web of conspirators, spanning Haitians, Americans, Colombians, among others, who seemingly accreted out of thin air, on a jumble of ideas about what kind of operation they were running: Were they seizing power in a coup? Were they launching a revolution? Were they arresting the president? Were they simply hitmen? The answer to all of these questions, at one point or another, was “Yes”. In this regard, the planning and execution of this operation make 2020’s “Operation Gideon” look like D-Day.

*Venezuelan authorities detaining Operación Gedeón militants, 2020. Venezuelan Government photo.*

As a result, Haiti began to spiral out of control. That descent continues a year later, as certain parties are now calling for international – and specifically American – intervention…Which is odd, given Haiti’s history of intervention with the United States…Doubly so, when the United States is currently “eyeball to eyeball” with Russia, in an international confrontation that is more serious than anything since the early 1980’s.

So — why Haiti? Why the push for intervention? Haiti’s politics aside, who would be behind such an attack? There are only three real possibilities:

Christian Emmanuel Sanon, an over-60 year old Haitian-American doctor from South Florida, who was identified as a possible front-man for the operation.
The US government of Joe Biden.
The government of Communist China.

The first case, of the 60-something doctor, is more than a little bizarre. An operation like this requires a lot of money, and the rewards need to balance out the risks. While it has never been illegal (mostly) for Americans to travel to a foreign country to fight in a war, it has always been illegal to plan and conduct such operations from within US borders. As in, serious and very real jail time to those involved. In this regard, it is not really credible to assume that this came solely out of a Florida office complex.

The second case is more interesting, but verges into “4-D Chess“. It is barely – just barely – possible that Joe Biden’s administration may have set up a deliberately bungled operation to send Haiti over the edge. Why? Because that would please the Communist Party of China, who were very upset about the strengthening ties between its claimed ‘province’ of Taiwan and Haiti, while giving the US an excuse to play the White Knight, riding to Haiti’s rescue, yet again.

On Communist China’s part, they could have easily concocted the same plot, for mostly the same reasons, and ran such an operation with the help of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro’s intelligence services, who were actually embedded into the aforementioned “Operation Gideon” from basically the start. For Communist China, implying tacit Taiwanese support to the operation (recall some of the plotters fleeing to the Taiwan embassy compound) could give Taiwan a black eye, locally inside Haiti. On Maduro’s part, getting the United States to launch another intervention into a Caribbean nation would be a spectacular win, that he can make hay from for the next decade or so, while burnishing his image with Russia’s Vladimir Putin, of general purposes.

My own assessment? The sordid affair is most likely a combination of #2 and #3, because of the confused nature of planning, and the byzantine levels of actors involved. The US has to maintain the image of being in control of its own back yard, and with fires burning all around it, Imperial Joe’s Court of Jesters needs to distract its populace from evermore ridiculous gaffe’s and disasters…

…Until, of course, scary noises and bright lights commence.

Which, naturally, does nothing for the long-suffering people of Haiti.

Why Electric Vehicles Have A LONG Way To Go Before They Are A True Solution

Bill Collier October 12, 2022

Most Electric Vehicles Are Non-Sustainable Fake Solutions

By Bill Collier- While I like EV’s and want to have one to plug in to me house, I am dedicated both to increasing human freedom and sustainability as well as a clean and sustainable economy powered/owned by and for local people. Most EV’s today do not fit the need described and perpetuate a dependency upon top-down centralized systems and are too easily abused by authoritarian nutjobs in high office.

Let me explain, starting with what I truly desire.

I want to custom build an electric car but with a multi-fuel backup charging engine that is powered from alternative sustainable energy and/or biodiesel locally produced.

My aim is not purely to “save the planet” but to unplug from the supply chain and the centralized power grid, all of which commit the sin of being part of “One Big System” (OBS).

I want to custom build an EV, based on the planet scout matchbox car. Unlike all the ev’s out there that are connected to some form of OBS and have no regard for right to repair, I want the opposite of these negatives.

You don’t effectively own an EV and that can be remotely shut off by the company, and therefore by hackers and/or rogue governments that disregard human rights. You don’t own something you aren’t even allowed to repair or choose someone to repair outside the manufacturer giving you “permission.”

I reject this and find it morally offensive and that it violates human dignity and human rights.

If we could create a microfactory and use advanced 3d printing and nanotechnology, we could, I suspect, build a fleet of around 20,000 ev’s per year within a factory around 100′ by 200′ in size and using mostly either recycled or renewable materials. We could, again I theorize, do so for around $10k per modernized ev planet scout vehicle.

Of course, whoever owns Matchbox may not let us use the planet scout as our model, so maybe we have to do our own design and call it the Planet Guardian or something that conveys that buying this car is good both for people’s freedom and sustainability on one hand and the local and global environment on the other hand.

Sustainability, renewables, and recyclables along with nanotechnology and 3d printing may all be “good for the planet”, but my main draw to them has always been that they empower average people and can free us from OBS if the point of manufacture is locally-owned.

EV’s like Tesla are a mess because they are no less OBS than what we have now. In fact, due to lack of owner repair rights and remote shutting off by the manufacturer (which can be grossly abused), they are more like the stuff of a dystopian totalitarian nightmare.

Simply buying an EV does not make you a good planetary citizen, and it may actually both reduce local sustainability and bind you even more to an OBS that can too easily control you and stamp out your rights.

A locally-produced EV by a locally-owned factory, primarily using local renewables and recycled materials, with a strong right to repair by owners, and with no ability to remotely shut off or control the vehicle, is the only truly “sustainable solution” that serves both people and the planet admirably.

When Politics Fails

Michael Cessna October 7, 2022

Despite the title, this article is not about politics, per se. Nor is it any kind of product endorsement. This is an advisory, drawn on current events. As well, these are strictly my own opinions, based on my own training and experience, and are not necessarily the position of FreedomistMIA.

I have frequently stated that fifteen or twenty years ago, I would never have imagined that this aspect of CBRN (Chemical/Biological/Radiological/Nuclear) would be what I would find myself advising people about. The first three, certainly: chemical spills happen all the time, as do pandemics (COVID is only the latest, and the one that hit me, personally), and as someone who both watched the real Chernobyl on the news when it happened, and received briefings on it later, accidents at nuclear power plants and storage areas are nothing to sneeze at.

But full-scale nuclear war, between Russia and the United States? In the early 21st Century? I’d have told you that Hollywood was no longer accepting derivative scripts like that.

Now, however, that very term is being tossed around blithely by many “leaders” in the world, and very seriously by one in particular. This has generated the usual, shockingly uninformed response from the shrill and the trolls, to scare people for the “lulz.”

So — I am going to talk to you about nuclear war, in order to inform you, rather than scare you.

The picture below is a “before and after” image of the city of Nagasaki, Japan, following it’s destruction by an atomic bomb on August 9, 1945. This was the “other” atomic bomb that week. I have been to the memorial site in Hiroshima (familial connection…on the Japanese side); should you, the Reader, ever get to Japan, you need to put it on your must-see list.

Just try to avoid going in the first week of August.

*Nagasaki, Japan, before and after the atomic bombing of August 9, 1945.*

This is the image most people have about nuclear war. That it is mostly wrong, is not something the wider news media is going to waste time talking to you about. The general consensus about nuclear war, as presented in such movies as The Day After, On The Beach, and Threads and reinforced by scientists of a certain political persuasion, is that after the bombs drop, those who live through that, will soon join the rest.

The reality is going to be closer to a downmarket, Road Warrior rip-off. No zombies; sorry.

While the notion of being turned into a shadow on a street by a nuclear blast is very real, the simple truth is that you have to be almost directly underneath the blast. For most Americans, that is simply not going to happen. To find out why, take a stroll through the Nuke Map website, and find the closest major city to you. This is one of the most educational sites of its kind on the internet, and a great companion to Alternate Wars’ World War 3 section.

Most people who live near a major urban area don’t actually live “in” said city, but in the surrounding suburbs. For example, I tell people that I live in “Dallas, Texas” – the reality is that I live well outside the city, itself; in fact, I don’t even live in the same county. That is a conscious choice on my part, because – in my heart of hearts – I never trusted the political leadership of the USA to not do something monumentally stupid, so I try to live outside target zones.

Nuclear weapons are expensive and complicated, so anyone deciding to fire one at an enemy long ago realized that they needed to think very carefully about targeting. Targeting enemy commands and military facilities are almost always not the first option, because – under the doctrine of Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) – it was assumed that as soon as you launched your missiles, the other side would launch theirs. As a result, there was no point in targeting empty air bases and missile silo’s. Likewise, targeting command elements (i.e., the President, et al) was not a good idea, because if you succeeded, there was no one left to negotiate with. So, the target planners settled on “economic and communications nodes.”

In short – cities.

If you look at a map of almost any major city, there are almost always a confluence of major highways in or near the city centers, conveniently close to major office towers housing the headquarters of companies that control “war production industries“…meaning, essentially anything that can be useful in warfare…which is virtually everything.

But, what if you don’t live in one of these “target-rich environments“? If you live “out in the ‘burbs,” like me, at most, you will get a certain amount of damage to your home (unless you are staring directly at the blast when it goes off; that will make your life…problematic). If you live in an actual rural area, you might not notice that a nuclear event has happened, until your local emergency services suddenly turn out in force.

For those thinking that the recent “advisory” posters and videos from various governments around the country, warning you to head indoors and wait for instructions in the event of a nuclear attack, means that the government will actually tell you how they are going to save you in the aftermath…they won’t. Those poster’s job is to keep you off the roads, to lessen traffic jams caused by fleeing people.

In short, the government wants you done. Well done, that is.

So…The foregoing naturally begs the question: If you’re outside a target area, a nuclear exchange does happen, and you’re alive afterwards — what do you do?

First, you need to plan ahead. If you think that I mean that you should become a “prepper” – you would be correct. But – should you stay in place, or go somewhere else? You know your area and your neighbors better than I do. If you live in an apartment complex, I strongly recommend that you have a plan to go somewhere else.

I am in a position where I have options in several directions. Again, I did this deliberately. That said, if you think that you are in a good position to stay where you are, that’s what you need to do. Hitting the road after a nuclear attack is, obviously, a pretty dangerous undertaking, no matter how well-prepared you think you are.

In addition to the requisite stocks of food – which is cheap to start, if you start now, by simply buying a few extra cans of beans and vegetables, and bags of beans and rice with every grocery run – you need to think seriously about water. Getting a couple of 55-ish gallon drums, along with several hand-pumped water purifiers for hiking, is a good step.

Next, I have to insert a disclaimer: the following is NOT medical advice. Do NOT “experiment” with the following. Short of a nuclear attack, do NOT take these products without consulting your doctor. Neither myself, nor FreedomistMIA are responsible if you violate this warning.

You have been warned.

The only specifically anti-radiation drug available to the general public in a pre-attack environment is Potassium Iodide. This is used as a protective for the thyroid glads from certain forms of radiation. The link above is to the Mayo Clinic’s advisory page on the drug – read that THOROUGHLY before taking. Potassium Iodide can be bought either as a product called “IOSAT“, which is sold in packets of fourteen 130mg pills. These are perfectly fine to use, but I do not recommend them, because in my opinion they are too expensive, and not as useful as the alternative. The better option are sold as tablets, by the bottle, usually coming as c.140 tablets of 130mg each (the standard dosage for an adult) to each bottle. The reason for this is simple: the IOSAT box is only good for protection after a single detonation — what do you do on Day 12, post-Attack, when their is another explosion? It’s a distinct possibility. Buy the bottle.

As well – calcium supplements. These are the only reasonable measure to counter the effects of Strontium-90 exposure. While there is no cure for Strontium exposure, calcium supplements can help you maintain bone health, since Strontium competes with calcium in the body. Again, talk to your doctor.

Last – multivitamins. Should an attack happen, your stress levels and changes in diet will throw your body out of whack for some time, until you can settle into a new normal. Multivitamins can help regulate the nutrients your body needs in the short term. Again, talk to your doctor.

Next, you need to consider, right now, what your gardening potential is. Start looking up your gardening zone, to see what kinds of food crops you can put in. As well, learn sprouting, because it really will keep you alive. Likewise, check out THIS video, as well.

That last thing we’ll talk about here, is personal defense and protection.

While I am fairly certain that many of those reading this article probably possess firearms of some sort, you need to think carefully about how to organize you personal and family protection strategies. Even if you live in a hyper gun-controlled state, you still have viable firearms options, such as pump shotguns, lever- and bolt-action rifles, and revolvers. Don’t do anything to run afoul of your local governments, but arm yourself, if you haven’t already.

Lastly, don’t neglect first aid. There are several products readily available, at very low cost that will significantly increase your chances of survival. Your options in this regard are vastly better than what was available 20-odd years ago. Also, there are plenty of training videos out there, on YouTube; “Dr. Bones & Nurse Amy” is one of the best.

Finally — I am not writing this to scare you. Even though I do not know you, I want you to live, should a nuclear attack happen…because the chances are very good that you will survive the attack, itself, and likely in relatively good physical condition. I find the idea of a person who survives a nearby nuclear explosion dying because they were not prepared beforehand, out of depression and ennui induced by sources that they should be able to trust, to be offensive in the extreme. You don’t have to know every single thing that I know, but what you need to know is that, if the worst comes, you and your family can survive, if you just exert the effort now.

I hope this helps. Good luck, check your six and keep your powder dry.

Biden Fears Nuclear War

Bill Collier October 7, 2022

By Bill Collier- In an AP article, it is noted President Biden is essentially telling his own Party bosses that a. he doesn’t know Putin’s off ramp in Ukraine and b. he fears we are closer to nuclear war than ever, on par with the great nuclear scare of 1962. But why are we who once proudly felt our efforts had led to the end of the Cold War once again considering the possibility of a Soviet Snow?

President Joe Biden said Thursday that the risk of nuclear “Armageddon” is at the highest level since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, as Russian officials speak of the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons after suffering massive setbacks in the eight-month invasion of Ukraine.
AP News, October 6, 2022

The typical indeptness and “Americans last” attitude among Democrats and their little toady Biden led to this situation. Honestly, under a Republican like Trump, Reagan, or Eisenhower, Russia would have never taken such liberty. Only Democrats and their collaborators, the Bushes, would fumble so.

I still say SLAVA UKRAINI, HEROYIM SLAVA, I root for the Ukrainian PEOPLE, but I am not amused by and will not forget that the Democratic Party’s obsession with interventionism and Russophobia led to this more than anything Ukraine or even Russia did to provoke this tragedy.

On one hand, we cannot bow to nuclear blackmail but on the other hand the Democratic Party’s warmongering ways and ineptitude are the true cause of the crisis we face.

This should never have gotten this far.

It all started with Bush, the collaborator Republican, caving on Putin’s Georgia adventure and, before that, to Clinton’s insistence Ukraine surrender its nuclear arsena for a worthless “guarantee” of its territorial integrity.

But is nuclear war in the offing or is the banging of the war drums essentially the corpostate’s “wag the dog” scenario to bolster Democrats under the banner of Biden as a “war President?” The ground level truth here may be somewhat a wag the dog scenario that has gotten out from the control of its perpetrators. In orchestrating a war, the corpostate establishment meant to bleed Russia but not seriously threaten it, all in the service of the military-industrial complex, global corporate gains, and propping up Biden as a tough guy.

It is almost certainly improbable that Putin would fall for the bait and do something rash, like hit the Ukes with a tactical nuclear weapon. But so was it improbable that Putin, without massive numerical superiority or total control over the air space, would have launched a full-fledged invasion that would basically fail. This doesn’t mean Russia is out as this masisve and tough country has clawed back from defeat under much tougher circumstances.

For instance, the Ukrainians have more than tacitly agreed a rules of engagement (ROE) that says they cannot hit Russia proper despite the fact Russia is free to strike their state in any location. This notion an enemy can cross your border to attack you and annex your country but you must not strike them anywhere except for inside your country is as foolhardy as giving up Ukrainian nuclear weapons was.

But will Putin hit the button and lob a nuke into his enemy’s country?

It is more likely that if the Russians do a nuclear demonstration it will be in as sparsely populated an area as possible, followed by an ultimatum that Davos/DC will either stand up to or bow to. Whatever Kyiv wants to do, the decision will not be theirs in the end.

Full on nuclear war is unlikely and if this scenario plays out it is hard to see what will follow. Even if the Davos Axis (the Powers, state and corporate, under the control of Davos shot-callers) caves and demands Kyiv accept its role as the Czechoslovokia to a modern Munich Accord, they will inflict harsh and unrelenting sanctions on the Russians that will not be worth their phyrric victory.

This is a war on two levels. Locally it is Putin’s armies versus the sovereign people of Ukraine. But the meta reality of this war is that it is between the Davos Axis and Putin’s Russian state, which is the property of the oligarchs. The “national interests” of Western countries, Ukraine, and Russia are irrelevant, even if the Russian cannon fodder and Ukrainian frontline patriots are caught in the middle and forced to die for agendas in Davos/Brussels/DC or Moscow that do not serve them.

If you think the Democrats and their lapdog President have American interests at heart or really care for the Ukrainian people, then you are living in a bubble of fantasy not reflective of reality in the slightest.

It is possible to truly want to support Ukraine. The Davos Axis vis the instruments of American power which they now control may have caused all this. But the people of Ukraine do not deserve to be abandoned and even if the quisling Democrats are routed and American government is returned to the People, we should recognize our moral obligation to the people of Ukraine. One can both have eyes wide open as to the true cause and motive behind this war and yet also wholly support the people of Ukraine who did not choose this war.

So we face the potential of nuclear war, something we old Cold Warriors thought was in our past and something we fought to prevent. We face this because the Democrats did not know how to stand up to Putin while constantly engaging in Russophobia and incendiary rhetoric which drove the Bear into irrational fears until he lashed out. The Davos Axis wanted a quick Russian victory in the East followed by a long protracted guerilla war. The staunch bravery and fighting skill of the Ukrainians prevailed enough that arming them, after years of a military equipment moratorium, became a political necessity.

At each stage Biden resisted the next level, dragging feet on what arms would be sent, each an escalation, and now Ukrainian victories are making Putin panic and reach for the Big Red Button. Even now, Biden openly states he has no idea what Putin’s off-ramp to this war is, beyond going nuclear to level the playing field.

Thus, nuclear war looms ever closer, more than ever, and the Democrats as Davos Axis stooges wring their hands desperately without having any answers.

Big Social’s Marxist Values Get Tested by SCOTUS

Paul Collier October 5, 2022

SOCIAL MEDIA SHOWDOWN WITH SCOTUS OVER SECTION 230 IS FINALLY HERE – SCOTUS has granted a “writ of certiorari” in the Gonzalez v Google case. The case tests Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. The constitutional question is if Social Media loses its liability protections when it becomes an editor of content through political censorship.

The showdown has been anticipated, dreaded, and hoped for since at least just after 2016, but even more after 2020, the year of the mass mailer election, the election that never was.

The news comes just after an announcement that Elon Musk appears ready to finalize the Twitter deal after promising to make Twitter more amenable to the American spirit of freedom of speech, which means, essentially, freedom from consequences for more than speech alone.

What happens next at SCOTUS, I would suggest, is more about the reality of power at the highest levels of corporate power in America today than it is about the legal reality of the case to be adjudicated.

This handful of the most powerful families in America has been mostly betting on the China model, hoping to create in America something like China’s version of “capitalism,” one which allowed for the existence of billionaires while eliminating most future competition from impeding on that market power in any way.

For the American billionaire families, they’ve bet, I theorize, that they could create a China model that blended the state and the corporation so that the billionaires in their China could not be disappeared by the party leader. They only have to look at the fate of Jack Ma and other billionaires in China that were recently purged by Chairman Xi to understand the fire they might be playing with by going down this path.

They’ve utilized the emerging market of China (along with other world emerging markets, but none which come close to China in size and potential) to fund a lot of their China-transformation conditioning back home.

By “China” I mean the China model of Socialism that emerged after the reforms of the 90s starting with Jiang Zemin, who ushered in China’s “glasnost” with a new contrivance called “socialist market economy.”

These former Americans (AINOS, Americans in Name Only) aren’t pro-China, they’re not seeking to become a vassal of the Chinese Empire. They seek to use China, as China seeks to use them, for their own party’s advantage.

They are ultimately enemies, and both sides know it. They both have data the other side wants. They both have markets the other side needs. They both see humans the same, as non-individuals meant to be fitted into a social oneness these billionaires create for their own self-empowering ends.

I believe the kids are using the phrase “frenemies” to describe what the party of the corporate-American state, the DNC, and the party of Xi, the CCP, have been since their initial entanglement, which may have begun with Nixon, but certainly was well on its way by Bush I. They’ve made a pact on Survival Island to assure they’re the last two standing, and they can then settle this between themselves at that moment.

Yes, I call this a DNC-CCP frenemy alliance, but I started off with two Republican Presidents being the catalyst of this union. DNC is a catch-all phrase that represents all the real servants of the DNC, be they “Republicans” (DNC operatives that infiltrate other parties) or so-called Anarcho-Leftists who don’t understand how they’re nothing but brown-shirt pawns of the DNC (who will suffer the same fate of the brown shirts when the DNC no longer needs them).

Something has changed recently that, I believe, has caused some billionaire families that bet the farm on the China model of socialism, the socialist market economy, to question the soundness of that decision for a number of reasons (including Xi’s authoritarian crackdown on inhouse billionaires and his tightening of the access to the glorious Chines market).

The Elon Musk buyout of Twitter (should it be finally finalized, for real this time, no takebacks) is a leading indicator that the coalition of AINOS among the billionaire families is cracking.

The number one protector of the DNC narrative, the number destroyer of DNC opposition, is social media. The big platforms, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Twitch, Chinese-owned TikTok, have all developed algorithms to censor and ban dissent while elevating pro-party-line agit-prop Molotov-cocktail-throwers (like Vaush).

All the other DNC-favoring institutions, including our own banking system, follow the lead set by social media and market-kill the DNC opposition for good (or so they believed).

They’ve done this non-capitalist, non-free-market action because they had the Section 230 protection which no powers that be were interested in seeing come to the light of day anywhere near SCOTUS. They also had the mega billions of dollars they were raking in from foreign markets and foreign contracts (including with China).

They could afford to offer an un-American product to an American market because they were no longer dependent on it financially, fellow AINO market conspirators protected them from rival platforms, and they oppose the American republican social contract founded on the principle that every individual is sacred in and of themselves. That model creates way more competition, and what billionaire families want most, it would seem, is less competition.

Now, some powers that be allowed this issue to get to the Supreme Court. What’s happening behind closed doors can only be speculated, but the decisions that will be made, I support, will be reflective of the reality of power behind those closed doors.

Maybe, perhaps, some AINOS have lost their nerve and want to walk back from the abyss of trashing America’s sacred individual social contract once and for all. If so, the court will end the coalition of AINOS’ power to continue to seek to create a product, a DNC acolyte, rather than deliver a product AMERICANS want, a social media experience that allows for a level playing field for all political, religious, philosophical, etc. views, and community governance that reflects American values, not Communist, Marxist, or even Socialist ones.

We are individuals, and even dangerous ideas, even misinformation, must remain free to be expressed if we are to restore and then preserve of our American ideals of the sacredness of the individual in and of themselves.

The 21st Century Belongs to the Free Mind

Paul Collier October 4, 2022

KYRGYZSTAN AND TAJIKISTAN CONFLICT REVEAL POWER OF FREEDOM IN WINNING ONLINE PR WARS

Throughout human history, leaders of nations (even leaders that wished to form nations, such as Aelfred the Great of England) have recognized, mostly, two outcomes their social, cultural, and civic institutions must produce; they MUST CREATE a warrior class and an expert class. The people and their land must have institutions that can create humans that kill well and humans that can create and support the tools these killing humans need to do their jobs.

In addition to these two results of civilization (we’ll call it that from here on out), and almost as equally important, we need the bodies that are needed for wars. We need the bodies that are needed for the work that supports war-making.

Our civilization has neighbors who have the same thing in mind in the formation of their own civilization. These civilizations are overwhelmingly led by individuals who treat these civilizations as their personal toolbox to be used to assure they and their future DNA can continue to control the lives of the vast majority of their subjects.

Of course, for the sake of time, I am being a bit simplistic in my language, but the spirit is rightly applied to the reality I am describing, the underlying reliance on the art of killing (and all the institutions needed to produce the highest forms of killing) to assure the continued existence of the civilization you and everyone throughout human history has ever been part of.

Throughout most of human history, the sinew trumped the machine in terms of killing value, but more and more the machine is replacing the sinew, creating new institutional demands to support new types of killing arts emerging from this new shift in the potential for the human to manipulate material for the purpose of bringing death and destruction to others.

This brings us to our story:

Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan’s 545-mile-long shared border erupted September 16, leaving more than 100 people dead and over 100,000 people displaced. A cease-fire was signed September 25, 2022. There were no real winners, however, Kyrgyzstan won the online PR war thanks to having more freedom of expression than Tajikistan does.

As press freedom goes, Kyrgyzstan ranks rather low, coming in at 72 in world country rankings. However, their counterpart, Tajikistan, ranks 150^th, near the bottom (there are 195 recognized countries in the world).

Relative to Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan is a thriving hotbed of free expression producing high-quality content that makes Tajikistan look like a tone-deaf cringe-lord begging the public to listen to their carefully crafted press releases.

The PR war online was decisively won by Kyrgyzstan despite appearing to be the military “loser” in this affair. It could well be, though, that the Kyrgyzstanis were better at highlighting the damage done to their areas as opposed to the damage they did to the Tajikistani areas.

From hrw.org

Kyrgyz Ministry of Education reports that 26 schools and 30 kindergartens in the Batken region closed as nearly 137,000 people evacuated since the fighting started. Of these, ten schools and seven kindergartens were damaged either by shrapnel or direct attacks. Currently, most schools have resumed full or partial functioning, except the two that were heavily damaged. One of these schools, located in Ak-Sai, was taken over by Tajik-affiliated forces on September 16 and used as a base for two days.

In Tajikistan, at least one school educating 450 children was damaged by fire on September 16. In another school in Khojai A’lo, Tajikistan, a teacher, 51-year-old Bakhrom Khakimov, was reportedly killed while trying to protect his students. The Tajik authorities have confirmed that 200 civilians have been harmed in the hostilities.

Regardless, this conflict results in another cease-fire, with neither side gaining or losing much on the ground. However, as far as the world is concerned, the Kyrgyzstanis gained tremendous ground, which might lead to more support from the outside world than the Tajikistanis can hope to gain.

Kyrgyzstan is very friendly to crypto as well, making itself somewhat of an emigree target for wanna-be expats in the west looking to go on a new adventure. No such opportunities lie on the other side of the border.

It should be noted that Kyrgyzstan has been making anti-free-press moves as of late, moves that might be second-guessed after seeing what a free press culture can do in the digital information wars compared to one that lacks it.

There are many factors that go into producing an effective killing and anti-killing strategy, including access to the raw resources needed to make the machines themselves, but none of them, I would support, will be as significant as the freedom of expression factor in the wars of the near future.

If your civilization lacks free expression, then it will soon become threatened by those that do not, unless you are a satellite of a free expression nation willing to shower you with military tools and expertise.

These two nations are in perpetual geopolitical tension due to the non-emergent nature of the border imposed on them by the then-Soviet Union. The boundaries are not reflected of geopolitical realities in terms of the purely physical as well as ethnic history. This is a reality that is shared around the world, especially among former Soviet satellites.

For the nations that exist in similar conditions to the ones in this story, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, the key lesson to be learned here, one that even the Belarusian President should heed, is that free expression cultivates the institutions needed to produce an effective killing and anti-killing strategy when dealing with threats from competing civilizations outside your borders, ESPECIALLY if you cannot hope for real aid from any of the major powers.

There is a technical parity happening around the world, for a number of reasons, including the proliferation of open-source augmented intelligence programs (AI, but I call it augmented instead of artificial). This technical parity, in addition to the shrinking nature of warfare (as drones become more and more dominant, as I predict they will), will mean that the advantage in warfare will come in inspiring support and intelligently utilizing killing tools that are mostly comparable to the ones they’ll be facing.

The sinew has given way to the machine, but now the machine is giving way to the mind. When the mind becomes the number one factor in war, the civilization that impedes dangerous free expression, for hate speech, for misinformation, for blasphemy, for security, etc., is sure to be a past civilization in the course of near time.

As the machine gives way to the mind, even as it is the very facilitator of it, the people who can think in the most dynamic, responsive way, in the most semi-autonomous way, without needing central commands, are the people that will win Empires in the decades, perhaps centuries, to come.

Winning The War To Rebuild Freedom

Bill Collier October 1, 2022

The Answer To the Dangers of Authoritarian Decadence Is To Unilaterally Establish Community With Fellow Freedom Builders

The evils and dangers of authoritarian decadence are on display. Never before in the USA has the danger of freedom being extinquished been graver. For many, the answer seems to be to market freedom to the masses in the hopes of defeating the freedom takers.

For Peers of Upadaria, people who have adopted a unique but Christian spiritual nationhood, and Freedomists who embrace a Pledge of Common Unity, the answer isn’t marketing.

Marketing is meant to pursuade. Upadaria, as a spiritual nation and an international non-territorial Commonwealth, is not something to be marketed. It is more about making a logical case, drawing boundaries, and building community around our shared freedom-building ideas.

The goal is not to convince the majority that something is right. We are at a place where we must all be done “negotiating” about fundamental God-given spiritual sovereignty. We cannot negotiate things like the individual’s wyrd, which is a God-ordained scroll of destiny and purpose unique for each person.

Those who will join the cause or become allies will come forth and together will do exploits. Those who oppose will oppose and all that can be done is to leave them to God’s care.

There is a war on freedom caused by a civilization-wide leftward lurch toward authoritarian decadence. It is necessary to resist this, peacefully, and at least to protect the innocent and the righteous as much as possible. But it is also important to realize that authoritarian decadence is an unavoidable consequence of a civilization in spiritual, moral, cultural, and creative decline.

We live in the days of decline. Every major world civilization today is in a similar state of decline. The problem is way beyond America. It is a global problem.

Some believe elections will save us. If only we get the right people in we can defeat the bad guys, or so the logic runs.

In truth, and to be brutally honest, voting will not save us. Winning elections is not the real solution.

Voting is a power we use as best we can to stave off the greatest threat, the Democrats, who, as a Party, are far worse than the Republicans. The Republicans are not “good”, but their flaws are a minor crime compared to the Democrats.

(*Note, our litmus test is whether a politician will vote to ensure some sorts of status and shanding for Upadarians as a spiritual nation more than anything else and for our non-territorial international Commonwealth. This means, only under such circumstances, a Democrat who will vote for our status and standing would be preferable to a Republican who won’t.)

If voting is mostly just a holding action, what is the answer to our quandry?

The creation of community is the answer.

We who call ourselves Upadarians believe that a spiritual form of nationhood is the most viable way to build community. People intentionally adopt something we call “organic cohesiveness” through the agency of shared nationhood. For Freedomists, a Pledge of Common Unity provides a larger and more pluralistic foundation for collaboration and mutual support.

First we begin with spiritual nationhood. This is important because the stakeholders of our international virtual Commonwealth are conformed Peers of our spiritual nation (Electors).

Let’s dig into nationhood, cohesiveness, and that which makes all this organic.

How can a small group of people overcome large-scale problems that the majority do not even acknowledge as problems? The answer is that they need to be able to act in unity and with discipline and purpose. This is cohesiveness.

When a small group of people are extremely cohesive, the larger but less cohesive groups fall before them.

We aren’t interested in anyone falling before us. We are interested in not falling before the “popular” waves of moral barbarism and authoritarianism that the Democratic Party is all about.

The Democrats and their propaganda organs in the press, academia, Madison Avenue, Wall Street, and Hollywierd are totalitarian perverts. We don’t want to be ruled by their anticulture and their authoritarianism.

Republicans are not the noble and good opposite of the Democrats. They may be seen as either feckless opposition to the Democrats, sometimes collaborators, or slow motion corpostate shills. But they are not anything near a threat to us as the Democrats are.

A cohesive core of a minority of people is more than a match to the balkanized majority coalition the Democrats have cobbled together.

Cohesiveness is needed.

But our idea is that it should be oragnic. This means a few things. First, there is the idea it should come from the heart and be natural, not forced. It should have great depth such that any two people who have this organic cohesiveness instantly know they will almost always agree.

They will be able to predict how the other person will act or respond. They will know that honor and honesty are required as a prerequisite for being a Peer of our nation or a Freedomist in our Commonwealth.

This instant agreement is never forced, it flows from having the same core beliefs and values. It happens by making these shared ideals visible and transparent. It happens we agreement on these matters becomes the very qualification for claiming the shared identity.

What we call nationhood in many ways is “community writ large.” It is a shared identity that defines how those who adopt it will behave with one another and with reference to the outside world. It creates predictability and trust which would normally take a long time to build, thus making an effectice cohesive response difficult.

People adopt the Upadarian nationality when they learn the ideals, principles, practices, and goals that define this identity. These things are expressed through the 17 Protocols of Upadaria which guide the way we treat each other and the way we work together. Others, who we call Freedomists, agree to a Pledge of Common Unity by which they become Citizen Freeholders of our international Commonwealth.

(*Note, people who become Peers take a Pledge of Peers and automatically also agree to the Pledge of Common Unity. People who agree to the Pledge of Common Unity are not Upadarians by nationality and may not even be Christians, but they embrace the ideals and principles upon which freedom is built. Thus we have Peers and Freedomists.)

By this means, many small groups in many locations who gather under our banner can work autonomously. Meanwhile, it looks like a mass movement is being centrally organized and activated. In reality, aside from a support structure and a means of protecting the brand and providing standards, no such control exists.

Any larger scale hierarchy is captains of tens, fifties, hundreds, thousands, and etcetera. To pool resources and facilitate communication and cooperation across great distances and among millions of people some hierarchy is needed. Hierarchical structures with a light touch that support autonomous local groups are ideal.

Through the power of organic cohesiveness, even if that hierarchy was destroyed, a whole new organic hierarchy could emerge from any of the smaller pieces. These smaller peices, like groups of a few people even, become a fractal of the whole. They can then grow through cellular division into a new copy of the whole.

Imagine a small town of perhaps 5,000 adults. Imagine only 300 to 500 adults embracing our nationhood or at least virtual citizenship in our international Commonwealth, and building community amongst themselves. This “Microshire Community” or around 2-5 Shireholds would have an outsized INFLUENCE without asserting any control.

(*Note, the wors “Shirehold” combines the words “shire” and “hold”, as in household. It is a modern adaptation of the ancient tribal band or village in which some form of kinship connection is a condition of membership.)

Even when only a few dozen families share this identity as Peers of Upadaria or embrace the status of Freedomists within our Commonwealth, a lot of good can be done.

In that town, the likelihood any elected official would run afoul of these people is slim. If they voted en bloc, as a group, they would be courted, not persecuted. If they also were not interested in much more than basic human rights for all and to be left in peace to serve their God, they are also not any kind of threat.

Spiritual nationhood is the means of building organic cohesiveness within distributed intentional communities. This is the key to our peaceful and spiritual revolution.

While the degree to which Freedomists are cohesive with Upadarians may be lesser, it is substantial and chances are a Freedomist would engage in some other form of shared nationhood with others within the larger international Commonwealth.

This, or something like this by similar groups who love freedom, is the real solution to our problem. Our problem is authoritarian decadence promoted by a globalist corpostate establishment that has lost its very humanity.

We aren’t trying to convince the majority to reject this. We are not trying to win over the corpostaters or their minions. We will vote to hold the line and disrupt the use of political power as a weapon against freedom. At the same time, we will unilaterally build community through the agency of spiritual nationhood which creates organic cohesiveness.

Our goal is to find, inform, gather, and help yo organize Peers of Upadaria and eCitizens of our virtual commonwealth who are not Peers at the local level. By empowering them to autonomously build community together, we win back a tiny portion of the people and land for freedom.

Electors are confirmed Peers who are citizens of our non-territorial international Commonwealth. Freeholders are active eCitizens and confirmed Freedomists of our commonwealth. They are all called “Upos” and we believe they already exist. What lies before us is the task of calling them and serving them so that they can build their own local Upo Communities.

We use a term “Upoverse” to describe a social, economic, civil, and civic environment based on a new civilizational paradigm. By building the Upoverse online and then face-to-face at the local level, we win more people and spaces for freedom.

As others may do the same, albeit in their own ways, new alliances and coalitions emerge. These alliances and coalitions fly the same banner. It is a banner of freedom through virtue, liberty, and independence and adherence to the same set of core ideals.

People who want freedom and who are destined to become Electors or Freeholders within our globally-distributed community already exist. We do not need to convince them. We need to reach them, gather them, and activate them.

Democratic Party Fascist Revolution In America

Bill Collier October 1, 2022

Democrats = Fascists

Democrats are fascists. But, more than that, they are child abusers. The kids they don’t murder in the womb, they want to forcefully corrupt (groom). They do this to sexually abuse them at the hands of their perverted alt-gendered allies.

Democrats want to seriously harm the ability of anyone who follows the historic Christian faith and orthodoxy to live their own way. This is a Party who want to to deny Christians any right to publicly proclaim their beliefs, values, and convictions.

The excuse/justification is that Democrats say they are preventing hate speech or disinformation. Hate speech and disinformation are the entirety of their Party’s platform!

The Platform Of Antichrist?

The Democratic Party platform reads as if they were inspired by some weird and hideous understanding of an imagined agenda by the antichrist himself. Instead of using it to show how bad this future time will be, they have taken it on board as their actual dream. It is a dark dream of violence, perversion, death, and misery. It is Satanic.

No Longer Merely Political Opponents

It is inaccurate to define Democrats as mere political opponents. They are far more than mere opponents.

It is accuratea to say this Party’s leaders are no longer merely in opposition to the best ideas and most noble ideals that made this country great. They do not merely oppose the ideas that created an arc of history that bent toward justice and freedom. Theirs is essentially a vanguard front group for globalist quislings!

From Biden on down, these cretins want to harness and abuse all the economic and political power of this country. The goal seems tl be to suicide our sovereignty. We witness and agenda to transform this land into a totalitarian dictatorship worse than anything previous in human history.

Are Republicans Just As Bad?

Often, people who cannot only admit their partisan leftwing devotion to this corruptocrat Party will day “Republicans are just as bad.” It’s the old “both parties as just as bad, choose your poison” cop-out.

To say “Republicans are just as bad” are the words of fools or liars, or of Quisling puppets. The partisans cannot justify the depravity of their Party. The best way to support the war on freedom is to make people at least feel there are no viable alternatives they can turn to.

Republicans haven’t changed their Platform to mimick the ideas of the people of Sodom. Only if that happens can we say they are “just as bad.” No, being less than good doesn’t put you in the same category as the Democrats.

Democrats Are Unprecedented In Their Depravity

Never before in our country’s history since 1861 and then the KKK has any political movement been this bad. It is unprecedented how bad Democrats have become.

To be blunt, Democrats are fascist perverts. Their moral depravity is unprecedented.

We must understand that this is a Party which, if it ever has its way, would plunge this land into a new dark age. Their totalitarianism would cost tens of millions of lives if it ever gets free reign!

Democratic Party bigwigs deserve to be treated as if they were literally members in good standing in that other leftwing fascist party. By this we mean the Nazis. The particular perversions and horrors Democrats embrace differ from the Nazis. But the genocidal hatred for the “other” and a craven lust for total monopoly power are among the top features of their ideology. This is exactly what featured prominently among the leftist Nazis.

The Democratic Revolution Is Purely Vile

From unprecedented immorality, Democrats are moving on to a subversive “revolution” that is purely vile. Using bogeyman fears and utopian promises, these power-made perverts try to conceal their true nature and aims.

Democrats are engaging in an alt-gendered hedonistic anticulture and totalitarian revolution.

Their ideas are against the very existence of America as a Union of free and constitutional Republics.

The policies of this corpostate cabal oppose the spiritual sovereignty and dignity of each and every human being.

Their “revolution” in its true intent opposes any respect for the laws of Creation are the very soul of law and policy.

They want to be “free” from God’s laws. They also don’t want YOU to be free to follow God’s laws. Democratic Party shot-callers don’t want anyone to even have a right to proclaim God’s laws. What we witness is a demand to be free from all criticism and opposition. This is the juvenile plee to be free even from being offended or having their feelings hurt.

This is an agenda meant to tear God down from the Heavens and install themselves as Supreme Leaders for life. Imagine an alt-gendered androgynous person with no connections to anything but the corpostate establishment. This is the new Democratic Party plantation of the Great Reset delusion.

Worse Than Brigands

Today’s Democrats are worse than brigands! What we see are child killers and child abusers on a mass scale. Such ideas are clearly meant to totally atomize each individual in their total identity.

The goals begins with separating people from connections to their ancestors, who are defamed. The next step is turn people against this country, which is smeares relentlessly. Now we see steps which will isolate people from their family which is destroyed through Democratic social policies. Finally, their is a war on marriage. This is accomplished byredefining marriage as a temporary, transactional and mostly hedonistic exchange.

Atomized, drugged, brainwashed, isolated, and non-differentiated, androgynous people pursuing only sexual pleasure make good slaves. You can exploit them, always count on their vote, tax them, and basically treat them like property.

The end of their vile revolution leaves you a mindless, drug-addled slave whose only “freedom” is the full range of ways you can sexually stimulate and satisfy yourself.

Democrats are the bane of this country’s existence, a party of deviants, criminals, bullies, and thugs. They behave as if they no longer have a human soul. Their vile revolution is a war against God, freedom, family, and country!

What is the solution.

The solution is to build community with people who are commited to freedom and whose agenda and values match your own. See here:

New Study Reveals Long-Term Consequences of Abortion on Women

Paul Collier September 30, 2022

Support After Abortion released a study that shows a significant portion of women suffer from the consequences of abortion even decades after they’ve had them.

The study showed ” that 40% of women who experienced medication abortions suffered adverse emotional and psychological effects.”

Perhaps the highlight of the segment was this moment when Patricia Brown spoke about the after effects of her abortion when she was 16-years old. She came to the support center “decades later.”

When asked if she would have had an abortion if she could do it all over again, she responded “If I’d known there would be an emptiness, ain’t no way I would have,”

The consequences of abortion on the mother, on society as a whole, has hardly been given serious study. Seeing one study that dared explore the “less obvious” negative side effects of abortion (beyond the obvious negative effect, the murder of an unborn child) is very encouraging. Seeing that study given voice on a Disney-owned media company indictates, potentially, either a crack in the Empire or a token appeasement to settle down dissent.

Time will tell, yet we celebrate the spreading of the word of the death-creating patterns of abortion that go far beyond the abortion, the woman, the abortionist, and even the father. These patterns touch the very spirit of our sense of humanity in ways that few have taken to explore in any impartial, phenomenological sense.

The abortionist should fear the consequences of such a study, for the people would learn of the brutal authoritarian death engine of power the habit of abortionist thought creates for the elite few.

From supportafterabortion.com

“We appreciate ABC’s even-handed coverage of Support After Abortion’s mission to help women and men who suffer after abortion,” said Support After Abortion CEO Lisa Rowe, a licensed clinical social worker. “Abortion is often framed as a political issue, which disenfranchises women and men who experience adverse impacts like grief, anger, and shame. ABC’s story was about politics and revenue, but it also showed the human side of suffering after abortion.”

As Facebook’s Stock Falls What Can It Do To Survive?

Bill Collier September 30, 2022

OPINION by Bill Collier- A recent article on CNBC about Facebook/Meta losing over 2/3rds of its stock value in a year has analysis and investors wondering if the tech giant will even survive. Whereas in 2021 at around this time, Facebook was valued at around a trillion dollars, this year, it is $377 billion in total value.

Not surprisingly for a globalist corpostate press organ, the CNBC article totally misses the elephant in the room, which is that Facebook’s core problems revolve around poor community governance (things like moderation and “fact checking”) and a fundamental misunderstanding of and lack of appreciation for their users, many of whom do not feel they and their creeds are treated fairly.

I like Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg, the core business model is for FB to become more of a platform for all than a private community with a more globalist corpostate ideological bent.

Allowing people to connect to family, friends, interests, and causes in a dynamic manner and with civility and common decency that is governed with fairness, common sense, and consistency, without bias or editorial (disguised as “fact checking” bit which is really opinion policing), would work.

This would be a great path forward, as opposed to reacting to activist (usually on the left) “demands” coming from audience groups (young wokatarians) who don’t use the product is, in my estaimation, a massive distraction from the core business. It is costing users, reputation, and now revenue.

Facebook serves an older demographic and, frankly, the older set will remain a core constituency well into the next 30 plus years. Providing other platforms for the younger set would be good, but it would be a mistake to simply roll out another iteration of a more popular platform.

Facebook has long suffered poor governance issues, not least because of the perceived editorializing-as-standards and the clear globalist corpostate bias of its “fact checking”, which creates distrust and which opens the platform up to constant criticism from right and left. All these fires keep distracting key decision-makers whose talents are essentially a wasted resource.

People don’t want a “free speech platform” that is “anything goes”, but if the user base is diverse in its religious, political, and philosophical perspectives, tending to favor one part of the user base over others, as it is perceived is the case, will necessarily decrease the engagement and participation of the “offended” group. It doesn’t matter if this is factually true or if it is the intent.

This is a perception at least partially caused by the inconsistent, often illogical, implementation of governance and, frankly, the oddball way “fact checking” is applied which makes the platform both seem biased and illogical.

For instance, to refute the statement “there are only two genders”, Facebook’s “fact checkers” cited the extremely rare case where people are BORN with a mix of gender traits as “proof” there are more than two genders.

The exception does not disprove the rule. but this illogical, upside-down, and absurd, use of an extremely rare exception as “proof” that the claimed rule, “there are only two genders”, is wholly false did nothing good for Facebook’s reputation or bottom line.

This kind of thing, as well as many instances of inconsistent application of standards which are perceived as putting the thumb on the scales against half their user base’s creeds, is anathema to being perceived as an honest broker and neutral arbiter. It is bad governance.

To be clear, while the rank and file bias of most of Facebook’s staff are likely leaning toward corpostate globalism or leftism in general, it may in fact be unfair to say Mark Zuckerberg wants to push a “leftist agenda.”

The fact most moderators and community governance staff may tend toward a bias, and perhaps it shows, is less a reflection of ownership bias and more a function of a poor governance architecture.

Instead of investing in new tech that is not taking hold, the whole metaverse, Faecbook should reexamine its entire governance system and the structure of the platform to provide a safe and friendly environment that is welcoming to all, regardless of creed and etcetera, but that insists users must, foremost, decide the content and entities they wish to be exposed to without being able to demand the platform cancel others who are otherwise well behaved.

Facebook/Meta isn’t focusing on keeping and growing a user base to whom advertisers can pitch themselves and their messages. What is really happening is that Facebook is trying to claim to be such a platform while its governance and “fact checking”, and how it spends its political dollars, all tend to lean in direction that half or more of their user base do not fancy.

Facebook is seen as a booster for the Democrats that tries to also pretend it is a platform for all, even if this may be an unfair characterization. The reputation hit among those on the right cannot be good and is not substantively addressed while kowtowing to the media-induced and leftist-activist supported frenzy of the hour hasn’t earned the support of the Democrats or the coveted younger demographic who, one suspects, Mark Zuckerberg thinks are represented by the very loud but tiny woke minority.

It may be true, though I am not prepared to claim it is true, that most Facebook users represent a more “conservative demographic” than a leftist demographic and that if Mark MUST use ideological sympathy to gain more users who are more engaged he may want to radically change course and lean right.
