"If that isn’t already the working title of a dystopian novel or screenplay, America’s young writers aren’t doing their jobs."
America’s young writers spend most of their time policing microaggressions or trying to have someone socially destroyed and fired for hurting their feelings or for breaching proper etiquette, or cataloging all their various "traumas", which are usually a bad date, a good date where the other person ghosted, or that time someone tried to hug them without permission or when a teacher oppressed them w a bad grade.
America’s young writers are much more likely to enthusiastically sign up for the role of snitch than to mock the Snitch Industrial Complex.
This is truly terrifying stuff. Thank you for exposing this. I always assumed that the government was engaging in propaganda and pysops on the US population, but did not have any strong evidence until now. This is probably the tip of the iceburg. What are the other agencies doing as well?
Just like my liberal friends demanding COVID-amnesty after supporting the authoritarian COVID orders that unnecessarily harmed millions while also destroying the lives of people that questioned those orders, I think the problem here is that there are not enough negative consequences for this continued coordinated attack on our God-given and Constitutionally-protected rights.
We need a reformed civil rights piece of legislation and some teeth in punishing those in power that would abuse that power in ways that materially restrict these rights.

JUST IN: Treasury Department officials have begun looking into whether they have the legal authority to start an investigation into the Elon Musk’s Twitter purchase because of Musk’s ties to foreign governments and investors, per the Washington Post.
Everybody knows exactly why this is happening.
• One day after a major story from @lhfang and @kenklippenstein proving the US Govt and Security State are directing Big Tech on what to censor, the #2 Senate Dem tries to radically restrict what "free speech" means in a way that contradicts all 1A caselaw:
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin –“Free speech does not include spreading misinformation to downplay political violence.”
• By the way, one day after this massive story about the US Govt directing Big Tech censorship was published by a Dem-friendly site, with a popular left-wing figure as one of the reporters, neither CNN nor MSNBC invited them on, and no Dem politician has mentioned it.
Why is this?
• 2015, BBC: "Meet Twitter's second biggest shareholder, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal"
If DC Dems want an excuse to investigate Musk's purchase of Twitter on "national security grounds" because he won't censor for them, they'll need a better excuse.
• Also, few things are more darkly hilarious than Dems pretending to be so deeply concerned about Musk's involvement with Saudis when it's the US Government that is single-handedly responsible for propping up the Saudi regime with arms and surveillance tech
• Americans are being conditioned -- by "journalists" of all people -- to believe it's immoral or mentally ill not to immediately and uncritically accept whatever institutions of authorities claim.
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald weighs in on the Paul Pelosi attack: "Skepticism itself can never be wrong ... Even if evidence does emerge later on to prove it, the skepticism itself was not just valid, but necessary."
• To this very day, you can read articles in liberal corporate outlets branding as "conspiracy theorists" anyone asking about Nuland's comments - same for those who questioned claims about COVID vaccine efficacy and mask mandates, or *any* claim that the US Security State issues.
• The US corporate press is trying to train Americans to believe the first and most solemn duty of citizenship is instantly accept whatever institutions of authority tell you to believe. No wanting to see evidence, no noting contradictions: just happily recite what you're told.
• Rather than obey France's censorship order, Rumble turned its services off for France and will sue. But France should have no right to impose its censorship laws on the world.
• This is why I'm so proud to be working more with Rumble and why I believe in their free speech commitment. The easy thing to do would be to obey French politicians and remove anyone foreign governments demand. Rumble would rather lose France then submit to them.
Outsourcing the censorship function to Big Tech insulates the censors both from unwanted election results and from pesky civil rights suits ("muh private entity can censor all it wants!").
Sort of like how Jim Crow Era government officials would claim to be acting as private citizens when convenient, and revert to their roles as government officials when it came time to exercise police power.
Thank you !! There is a DIRECT connection between Russia-gate hoax concocted by St. Obama, Biden and Hillary and provoking capitalist Russia’s “Putin's war” by relentless NATO expansion.
The SAME lying team representing the US bipartisan War party.
Democracy and freedoms have left US – censorship is now nearly TOTAL; far worse than in Soviet Union 50 years ago.
Looking forward to the interview. The Intercept article is in keeping with classical liberal investigative reporting, and Ken has penned some great investigative articles. There is a profound difference between Liberal and Progressive.
This is the most horrifying passage in the article:
““One could argue we’re in the business of critical infrastructure, and the most critical infrastructure is our cognitive infrastructure, so building that resilience to misinformation and disinformation, I think, is incredibly important,” said [Biden-appointed minister of truth] Easterly, speaking at a conference in November 2021.””
“Cognitive infrastructure”? My mind is not your fucking infrastructure, you psychopath. Defund DHS!
Honestly kind of wish you spoke to the other co-author, Lee Fang, instead. That's because Klippenstein has doxxed another journalist (Fiorella Isabel) and was one of the people repeating the "Ivermectin is horse paste" falsehood. Maybe he did some good work here and I should focus on that, but he's still a scumbag.
I don't understand why any of this surprises people after living through Pub. L. 107–56 and Snowden revelations, not to mention a cornucopia of other dystopian ventures prior to those. Wait until they come for the gold...again. That's not to disparage the reporting though, constant reminders are healthy.
Will look forward to listening to it later "unlive" as I have to work; assuming, of course, it airs or isn't pulled for "inciting political violence."
Apparently Biden's making a political speech tonight that takes off the kid gloves that restrained the previous mega MAGA hellfire speech in Philadelphia. Will be interesting to see how things look after he makes the connection between the Pelosi attack in particular and political violence in general to questioning official narratives.

Orwellian has rarely enjoyed so literal a denotation.

Omg that video makes me homicidal

Heartened to see that the Intercept is still doing some good work, and not just threatening to dox Gab users.
I realize it is a utopian dream, but if everybody would simply delete their Facebook and twitter accounts...
This might be slightly tangent, but still worth a listen. DHS isn't alone in diddling the bird.
