Censorship and Coercion

grampslcf September 8, 2022 Comments Off

During the George W. Bush years, Glenn Greenwald rose to prominence for his opposition to the White House’s record on civil liberties.

Oh, the left wing establishment loved him. But Greenwald is a not a one-side-of-the-aisle critic. When it comes to outing government repression to the disinfecting rays of sunshine, Glenn is an equal opportunity critic.

Recently Greenwald published a thread on Twitter. Here he describes exactly what’s going on with the suppression of dissident voices. This is not “they’re private companies; they can do what they want.” Greenwald lets a flood of sunlight onto the dark crevasses of Big Tech/government collusion.

The Biden administration’s student loan relief scheme has gotten a lot of press. But there is an item that needs to be noted about this wave of the presidential wand. And that is outside the fact that Biden is trying to bribe voters to vote Democratic.

The new wrinkle, and one that’s sure to send politicians scrambling, is how some of those who get their loans “forgiven” may owe state taxes on what effectively becomes income. Again, from Bloomberg:

Residents of New York, Virginia and eleven other states could end up with a surprise tax hit of hundreds of dollars next year on forgiven student loans.

President Joe Biden’s announcement that the government would forgive some student debt for individuals earning less than $125,000 was welcome news to many carrying large loan balances. But 13 states have laws that treat this forgiven debt as income, meaning that it’s subject to state levies on earnings.

This entire episode is a reminder that there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

One Person’s View

One person’s view with some thoughts of my own.

The Mar A Lago raid by the JØbama FBI/DOJ reeks of political theater with a purpose – to advance their agenda narrative and to prepare the way to more communist tyranny.

FBI director, Christopher Wray, has already publicly insinuated that MAGA people are domestic terrorists, and domestic terrorism is the greatest threat to ‘our democracy’

What about Antifa and BLM, the domestic terrorist, shakedown mafia who operated a protection racket and got big money from corporations – who destroyed cities, businesses, targeted and killed innocent law enforcement? ...

Justin Bieber continues to suffer health setbacks from his vaccinations. Justin Bieber has been forced to suspend the rest of his world tour.

Mar-a-Lago Background, Part 6

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 and Part 5 of this series have highlighted how specific activities have dissolved the rule of law and shown the corrupt nature of secret courts and ubiquitous surveillance.

PDJT was elected in 2016 at least in part because he called out the corruption that many people were beginning to discern. PDJT not only called out the corruption, he stood tall against it. PDJT did not cave into the enormous pressure exerted to diminish him and anyone who supported him.

Our journey through history has brought us to the battle over the evidence of that corruption.

President Reagan Speaks

In these tumultuous times that we find ourselves, it is sometimes refreshing to look back at Presidents who had some real idea about what America is. President Reagan’s speech from almost 40 years ago is apropos for our current situation.

Never Forget

The September 1st speech by Joe Biden at Independence Hall in Philadelphia was “one of the most menacing, bitter, angry and divisive speeches in Us political history.” Biden’s handlers tried to walk this back the next day when the backlash was off the scales AGAIN.

Is It Over?

While the bobbleheads will undoubtedly try to smear the judge, US District Judge Aileen Cannon on Saturday announced the “preliminary intent to appoint a special master” to review all of the records seized by the FBI during its unprecedented and likely illegal raid on President Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago.

Judge Cannon said the FBI raid on Mar-a-lago “involved political calculations” to diminish the leading voice of the Republican Party just months before the midterm election. In other words that are less polite, the FBI was trying to throw the election to the Democrats.

A Government of Liars, Thieves and Lawbreakers

“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable.”

– H. L. Mencken

This quote by Mencken posted to any of the top social media sites will likely be cross posted by the site (think Facebook, Twitter, et al) to a database where our federal law enforcement criminals can see it. This will undoubtedly lead to surveillance via the omnipresent NSA database currently located in Utah. The person who originally posted it will be added to a huge and growing list of “domestic extremists.”

Mar-a-Lago Background, Part 5

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4 of this series have brought us up to the establishment of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation by the FBI. The starting of the investigation was based on a fraud perpetrated on the FISA Court. It is always important to remember the corrupt nature of the DOJ, FBI, et al. This part will lay out how the NSA database works and how it was used.

Never forget, in connection with Washington DC politics, there has been a fusion of the two parties into a uniParty. PDJT is transforming the GOP into the most diverse political party in history. His leadership threatens the gravy train that elite politicians on both sides of the aisle have been wallowing in for too many years.
