State Media

      Comments Off on State Media

One has often heard about state-run media in countries where freedoms are suppressed.  The reason for the existence of such media is to paint as rosy a picture of the government as possible.  Pravda in the old Soviet Union is one such source.  At least in the Soviet Union most people understood that facts were not in abundance in that publication.

Communist Censorship

      Comments Off on Communist Censorship

We all watched during the Canadian Freedom Convoy how Fidel Castro-loving Justin Trudeau tried to turn Canada into a communist country.  Trudeau froze the bank accounts of protesting truckers in Canada.  Being “pro-Trump” was a factor in making decisions to freeze accounts.

Recently Trudeau’s government moved to its next phase of controlling the population. The Trudeau government will now regulate podcasts and track content and subscribers. This tyrannical order comes after Trudeau restricted access to news in Canada last August.

Dr. Fauci & The CIA

      Comments Off on Dr. Fauci & The CIA

Dr. Fauci is a central figure in the COVID pandemic that was unleashed upon the world.  Fauci has been accused of suppressing information about treatments (hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, etc.) that were effective at mitigating and stopping the virus.   Fauci was a big supporter of the lockdowns that had absolutely no effect on the transmission of the virus.  Fauci has also been interviewed by Congress over his role in “gain of function” research into viral agents.  Now his “influence” over a CIA investigation into the origins of COVID has been subject to some sunlight by the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic (SSCP).

“Comrade citizens.  In the spirit of protecting you from hateful misinformation, the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) is stepping up.  No longer will comrades be subject to the depredations of individuals who might undermine the great work that your government is doing.  All “meaningful content” appearing on Internet platforms will be monitored to ensure that streaming services are making valid contributions to Canadian and indigenous lives.  Comrade citizens lives will be better for the heroic efforts of the CRTC.”

Big Hammer

The last federal budget that went through the appropriations process, passed both chambers and signed by a president, was the fiscal year 2008 budget signed in September 2007 by George W Bush.  Every single budget from that moment to today has been a series of continuing resolutions, omnibus spending packages (mini and regular) and baseline budgeted CR extensions.  This is the insanity that has resulted in the debt mess we see today.

Eloquence In The Law

      Comments Off on Eloquence In The Law

As most of America knows, the corrupt prosecution of PDJT knows no bounds.  The UniParty will do anything to prevent PDJT from getting another term in office at the White House.  By any means necessary is their motto.

One aspect of this ongoing effort is to silence PDJT during the presidential campaign.  Almost two weeks ago Jack Smith’s prosecution asked a judge to silence PDJT during the campaign.  Ostensibly this was to protect the right to a fair and impartial administration of justice.  The fact that this would interfere in the election was ignored.  The public be damned is clearly at the forefront of their efforts.

Gaetz vs Bartiromo

      Comments Off on Gaetz vs Bartiromo

I have a friend who has been extolling the virtues of Matt Gaetz, a House congressman from Florida.  On Sunday, I had a chance to witness Matt in action as he battled Maria Bartiromo over the spending crisis in Washington.  Before I delve into that let’s be reminded that, as the government funding crisis comes to a head, the media will paint any Republican who is opposed to unlimited spending as an extremist who is trying to destroy the country.  Such a person will be depicted as attempting to undermine the foundations of democracy and would be literally trying to kill people by standing up for a budget.

Never Give Up

The silent majority are beginning to rise up.  The silent majority is becoming less silent.  They have been spectators so far to the battle that is going on.  Some engage in the fight from the periphery, but are still spectators.  They are not the target…yet.  But they will be once the obstacle that is in their way…President Donald J Trump…is removed.  But even if they succeed in dimming his message, others will step up.

Gag Orders

      Comments Off on Gag Orders

Gag orders issued in criminal cases and less often in civil cases, are supposedly done to control publicity and protect the right to a fair trial.  Such orders are supposed to balance the right to a fair trial with the First Amendment free speech rights of the people being silenced.

Because courts have almost always overturned trial judges’ attempts to restrict the news media’s right to report on cases, gag orders typically apply to participants in a case.  This is especially true today with the widespread use of social media.  Citizen journalists abound and would be far more difficult to control.

Special Prosecutor Jack Smith did the expected.  We all knew this was coming.  On Friday last week, U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan unsealed previously hidden court filings revealing the DOJ’s request to silence Donald Trump via a judicial gag order [Read PDF Here].
