Since Elon - Twitter is ostensibly slightly less censorious though with utterly corrupt rankings. Perceived hate speech is still dis-qualifier de jour. Therefore Twitter is rigidly system reinforcing at every level. It has been quietly returned to the state it was in immediately prior to Musk. It is an impossibly rigged game for anyone of any stripe who can effectively contradict any of the fundamental Official Fairy Tales except for superstars like Greenwald. But under the EU legislation you posted Grizzly, am I wrong in thinking that Glenn Greenwald will become illegal in the EU?
David Icke and a few other notable dissenters are allowed to use the twitter for now, people who want to find them still can, but that's about all that is left.
Ruthless WARTIME level censorship is effectively everywhere under the guise of everything from Russiagate to Ukraine. On that note Finland is about to have a rude awakening to NATO neoliberalism. Finlands resources will be disproportionately poured into war and the preparations for war, its children will be systematically impoverished to the point where enough of them will voluntarily enrol in bullshit wars. Finland is about to watch everything it has considered beautiful or noble be sacrificed as truth will dissolve into nightmare. Welcome to NATO.

Check THIS shit out. I saw this tonight when our tv was on in the background showing the "news". This is clearly NOT Tiffany Dover, and it's so obviously not her that this must be some kind of sick joke/experiment to see what percentage of people can be completely bamboozled these days.
“What we need is a period of slower growth so that the economy can cool off, so the labor market can cool off, so that wages can cool off. That’s how inflation comes down,” the central banker continued. “It can be painful, but we don't know of any painless way for inflation to come down.”
I understand that by posting this that many of you will dismiss it out of hand without even bothering to listen. I know the big hitter's here, like Wombaticus Rex and Jeff Wells himself and other's whom respect these guys (I do too) btw, or I wouldn't be here for as long as I have been. Find her super annoying, but I'm reminded of the saying 'contempt prior to investigation keeps a man in everlasting ignorance' Part of the reason I come here and share the things that I do is because I know (many of us do) that something ain't right with the narrative. Something is incongruously off. And I have something that drives me to seek out some semblance of sanity in what to make of the reality we are given. I've never said I was a bright guy. I just really do try to follow my gut instinct and dare I say it my tuition, rigorously. I'm human and make mistakes. But all I've ever done on here as well as the past three or more decades on the internet is try to find pattern recognition. To better inform myself and other of what I find. Perhaps pissing in the wind. But I know as many here do, that sources of true resonate truths are drying up as has been happening with an increasing pace. Most of the people I have sought out to try to understand more have either died, like Bob Wilson, or maybe killed like Micheal Brooks, or anyone else whom want to champion humanity as a whole. By posting this I'm NOT endorsing her or even saying she's right. Just that I'm finding places with less and less food for thought. And solace as to navigate these treacherously dark times. On the brink of possible world war III or IV depending on your paradigm. The Great Reset, or whatever dystopia we are stumbling into. I can feel as most of us can- the noose tightening and am powerless to do anything about it. But I am watching the show. The spectacle. And am not amused. My hopes are that others will set your prejudice's aside long enough to listen to her on this. I think she may be on to something and like I said, I'm finding less and less places to cull any useful insights into anything really. Both this place as well as other places aren't discussing real time fuckery. At least I'm not find any I trust. And I don't trust Polly, but do admire her stubbornness and willingness to sus through and mutter along this brutal simulation/Black Mirror we seem to be stuck in. Anyway with out further a due:
Fully resonate with all of that and will listen to the vid a little later this evening.
I just wanted to add that quite a number of long time RI members more or less disgraced themselves over the last three years. Not just for being arseholes, we all do that, some, like me, do that more than others. Instead I mean the indelible intellectual dishonesty they have displayed while continuing to lecture us on science, or anything else. These fellows tacitly and overtly accused other members of every kind of logical or ethical stain. Some have apologised in a round about way, by at least belatedly recognising some of the fact of what has occurred, though two or three continue on blithely as though nothing has happened (or that they weren't spectacularly wrong about almost everything) while belittling those who were not wrong - as little more than oafish and biggoted right wing homophobic dick swinging idiots. You all know exactly who you are.
Thing is, I sympathise with every one of them. I recognise the titanic, systemic, corruption they and I are up against. I recognise the daunting amount of time, effort and ultimately money which has been thrown at the problem of rendering me and them into ineffective, submissive, morons, thoroughly convinced of our own superiority.
Much love to you Grizzly, you've a big heart, and it shows.

One of two older articles on the destroyed Smith-Mundt act and its consequences. There's a interesting stuff in each. This was published about a year ago, so 10 years roughly after the Act was gutted. https://informednews.com/2022/02/03/rec ... ens-legal/
“The more we do to you, the less you seem to believe we are doing it.”
Chris Hedges: The Enemy From Within
The war industry, a state within a state, disembowels the nation, stumbles from one military fiasco to the next, strips us of civil liberties and pushes us towards suicidal wars with Russia and China. https://scheerpost.com/2023/04/30/chris ... om-within/
“The more we do to you, the less you seem to believe we are doing it.”
“Honest and idealist … enjoys good food and wine … unprejudiced mind …”
That’s how a 1952 Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) assessment described Nazi ideologue Emil Augsburg, an officer at the infamous Wannsee Institute, the SS think tank involved in planning the Final Solution. Augsburg’s SS unit performed “special duties,” a euphemism for exterminating Jews and other “undesirables” during the Second World War.
Although he was wanted in Poland for war crimes, Augsburg managed to ingratiate himself with the U.S. CIA, which employed him in the late 1940s as an expert on Soviet affairs. Recently released CIA records indicate that Augsburg was among a rogue’s gallery of Nazi war criminals recruited by U.S. intelligence agencies shortly after Germany surrendered to the Allies.
Pried loose by Congress, which passed the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act three years ago, a long-hidden trove of once-classified CIA documents confirms one of the worst-kept secrets of the cold war–the CIA’s use of an extensive Nazi spy network to wage a clandestine campaign against the Soviet Union.
