Free speech violations by the Trump admin that were blatantly ignored by this “free speech” news outlet this week -
1 - No coverage at all of the NIH canceling research funding for people who don’t sign a pledge never to boycott Israel. A move made by your and Walter’s mutual friend, Jay Bhattacharya.
2 - No coverage of Trumps D.C. prosecutor trying to revoke the non-profit status on Wikipedia due to alleged foreign actors editing the site and making unfavorable edits that harm U.S. foreign policy goals (edits regarding Israel.)
Two separate censorship stories both being done on behalf of making Americans silent and subservient to a foreign nation and not a so much as a peep from either Walter or Matt.
I’m sure they will start covering the Trump admins attacks on free speech one day. Maybe they can find the time to report on this between the slop bashing Rachel Maddow, David Brooks (Canadian, not American) and the WEF.
My recollection is that Matt has expressed his concern with the Trump Administration's apparent suppression of free speech on several ATW podcasts, though the focus of his reporting has been the battle between the elites (e.g. Harvard) and Trump. Still, I agree the censorship issue should be investigated more thoroughly by Matt and Walter.
At most he said he would be concerned if he learned more. Matt hasn’t openly opposed a single thing this administration has done regarding free speech. At most he said he “might” be concerned but needs to look into it more.
On the two topics I specifically mentioned neither of them has said a single word.
I’m long past losing my patience and I am on to the heckling stage.
The U.S. tax payer is expected to fund bombing babies around the clock in Israel but if a cancer researcher trying to solve terminal illness in babies decides to publicly boycott Israel the NIH will cut their funds.
This is allegedly in the name of protecting or foreign policy, which is to arm Israel so they can continue the indiscriminate bombing of civilians.
In addition to its role in enforcing U.S. export control laws, the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is charged with administering and enforcing the antiboycott laws under the Export Administration Act. These antiboycott laws were adopted to encourage and, in some circumstances, require U.S. companies to refuse to participate in foreign boycotts that the United States government does not sanction. According to BIS, the laws “have the effect of preventing U.S. persons from advancing foreign policies of other nations that run counter to U.S. policy.” Together, the Department of the Treasury (via the 1976 Tax Reform Act) and BIS’s Office of Antiboycott Compliance have oversight as to efforts to counteract the participation of U.S. persons and companies in other countries’ economic boycotts or embargoes.
Office of Antiboycott Compliance (OAC)
Office of Antiboycott Compliance (OAC)
The Office of Antiboycott Compliance (OAC) within BIS is charged with administering and enforcing the Anti-Boycott Act of 2018, Part II of the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (ECRA), and the antiboycott provisions set forth in Part 760 of the Export Administration Regulations, 15 CFR parts 730-774 (EAR). These authorities discourage, and in some circumstances, prohibit U.S. companies from taking certain actions in furtherance or support of a boycott maintained by a foreign country against a country friendly to the United States (unsanctioned foreign boycott). U.S. companies must report to OAC their receipt of certain boycott-related requests for information designed to verify compliance with an unsanctioned foreign boycott. Prohibited activities include, inter alia, agreements by U.S. companies to refuse to do business with a boycotted country or with blacklisted persons for boycott-related reasons, furnishing information about any person’s business relationships with a boycotted country or with blacklisted persons, and implementation (by U.S. banking entities) of letters of credit that include prohibited boycott-related terms or conditions.

NIH will lose funding if they engage in a prohibited boycott.
Boycotting Saudi Arabia isn’t prohibited nor is boycotting American companies or states.
Only boycotting Israel, our great masters, is prohibited.
For some reason certain Colleges don't think they have to follow established law.
If you can point out other situations where the law is not being followed, I'm listening.

Has Racket covered the 60 Minutes censorship debacle from last week? If so I missed it. I will search.

Giuliani did not shut down the NY Mob Bosses and clean up NYC in one hundred days.
I hope at some point the timelines will be updated.
Thx in advance
