Why the press wants Cuomo, their onetime shining knight, to resign

Excerpt:

 

The media establishment, which once adored Andrew Cuomo, is telling him it’s time to go.

From major news organizations to liberal commentators, there is a remarkable unanimity of opinion that the governor must resign — a solidarity that mirrored last year’s consensus that Cuomo was a hero of the pandemic.

In covering his decade running New York, journalists often described him as more-feared-than revered. He was a brawler, a tough guy from Queens, who knocked heads to get things done….

Don’t Let the Unvaccinated Fly, Former DHS Official Declares

PGC – And so it has begun, a former Obama official is now throwing a thought up a flag pole to see not only who salutes, but who doesn’t cry out, “is you crazy?”

Well, consider this we the people saying to you, ‘is you crazy?!”

Juliette Kayyem, a former low-level official in Obama’s Department of Homeland Security, is suggesting in an op end in the Atlantic that maybe we should consider putting the unvaccinated on a no-fly list, or, to put it in another term, maybe we should nudge the vaccinated public to subhumanize the non-vaccinated even more.

Perhaps the DNC is betting that the vast majority of the unvaccinated in Bidenmerica are Republicans, or, at the very least, DNC resisters, maybe even DNC deniers.  So, by pushing for vaccinations in the first place, they create the self-filtering conditions that let them identify their ‘people’ from all others, faith in government and corporations, the kind of people the DNC wants to be around for decades to come.

Those other kinds, the ones less prone to accept a world where we own nothing and rent everything, well, of course they’d be less likely to vaccinate under these conditions, a vaccine that was rushed, efforts to brutally silence any data that counters the narrative of the state and the corporation, all of which seem willing to work hand in hand on some major public debates in America today.

But maybe they’re just worried about our safety and realize we are far too uninformed, or even informable, for that matter, to make decisions on our own regarding our understanding of safety versus liberty, risk versus reward.

Extreme weather events seem to be getting more common. In the last month in particular, we’ve seen dramatic flash floods in various parts of the world, including Germany, China, and the US. But while some regions get an excess of rainfall, others are seeing a dearth of it. They’re not all waiting for Mother Nature to show them some love, though. Scientists in the United Arab Emirates are taking matters into their own hands. In the face of searing temperatures and ongoing…

Excerpt:

 

When Facebook said Tuesday that it was suspending the accounts of a team of NYU researchers, it made it seem like the company’s hands were tied. The team had been crowdsourcing data on political ad targeting via a browser extension, something Facebook had repeatedly warned them was not allowed.

“For months, we’ve attempted to work with New York University to provide three of their researchers the precise access they’ve asked for in a privacy-protected way,” wrote Mike Clark,…

Facebook’s New Vulnerability, “Misinformation”

PGC – Facebook is being accused of letting climate ‘misinformation’ get through its filters by a social media report that is sure to give ammunition to those who would wish to see power more rooted in their particular sphere of power.

Governments around the world can now use its own too-quick willingness to attempt to be responsibile for something like misinformation when it threw in with the coalition of the willing in opposition to the great bad boogeyman Donald J Trump, whose legend was used as a justification for turning the 2020 election into a war to overcome filters or lock down opposition to the shared outcome, a DNC win, by any means necessary.

Now, Facebook’s willingness to dive in to such a sea of responsibility in the name of stopping the literal devil, Donald J Trump, makes them vulnerable to any government ruling wannabes that can now use its accepted ‘responsibility’ of being the filter of true data versus misinformation across the board.

So long as the government officials have the ear and the voice and the power of the state behind them, their definition of misinformation had better be yours, Facebook, else you face fines or other such measures beyond fines, such as Facebook-busting antitrust moves.

When you dance with the devil, don’t be surprised when you find, at the end of the dance, all of your valuables missing.
