Censorship Ramps Up


YouTube announces a new purge of dissident views.
Julian Assange arrested and becomes very ill in prison. Chelsea Manning in jail indefinitely, until caving, anyway.
Facebook hires the NATO-supported Atlantic Council to help them purge and censor members.
Twitter bans people who refuse to support the dominant narrative.
Google makes searching for dissident views more and more difficult.

Why is the Empire stomping down so hard on truth tellers? Because the horizontal communication made possible by the internet and social media makes it more difficult to keep the dominant narrative dominant. Too many people scoff at the lies and tell other people, who tell others. Fewer and fewer people are swallowing the nonsense, because when people are allowed to communicate with each other, lies will be exposed and truth will out.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Kerri again. This is all so tiresome. Off-Guardian had a really good post about this that I shared on the book - of course that one has been disappeared too. People can comment on it and have, but it is not longer accessible or visible to me.

"Whether censoring lies or censoring truth, censorship serves the same agenda – protecting authority. What is “harmful content”? Harmful content is anything that attacks the “well documented” official consensus.

This blanket term can be applied anywhere and everywhere, and with the increasingly hysterical tone of identity politics, almost anything could be deemed “hate speech”."

Yes, we had a brief moment of freedom, but our overlords are now smashing it.

Wasn't it that Goebbels quote that got you bounced? Must be worth repeating again and again and again then in my view, if our overlords find it so intimidating.

Feeling mighty distressed re: the direction this is heading, I must admit. :(
