Tell Me What Is Censored And I Will Tell You What Is Probably True

Tell me what is censored and I will tell you what is probably true. That is a maxim that has served me well. 

I say probably true because I am certain that in the vast realm of information suppression, some nonsense has been obliterated. YouTube 86'd tarot card readers who predicted Trump's reelection and some Christian prophets met a similar fate. That might say more about Google's intense fear and loathing of Trump Nation than their respect for verity.

Then again, some of the prophets who were allowed to stay on past election day maintained that Trump had indeed won despite the official outcome. They either changed their message or found their way to Bitchute. Tell me what is censored...

Until fairly recently I endorsed exactly two popular conspiracies.: One, the cumulative UFO narrative and two, the JFK assassination. I learned early on that UFO whistleblowers were routinely ridiculed and intimidated, and it might be futile to explore this subject. I have only scratched the surface of this vast topic, but I believe strongly that there are matters of supreme importance that have either been occluded, diluted, or camouflaged or corrupted. I know nothing about lights in the sky, but I know that there exists a vast coverup.

The JFK mystery seemed a bit easier to solve and with the passage of time, I figured the unadulterated truth would be revealed. Wrong. The subject is both alluring and captivating. Intellectual quicksand. Every time I thought I could explain the players and motives in one sentence, a competing theory would emerge. to challenge the details, or the overview. It would not have unfolded this way had not the truth been repeatedly hijacked.

Censorship might be too soft a word in describing the JFK saga  The number of material witnesses who met sudden deaths is frightening. Many theorize that the murders of gangsters Johnny Rosselli and Sam Giancana were performed because both men knew too much. Years later, the vaulted fourth estate purloined a copy of the script of Oliver Stone's "JFK".  I cannot connect all the dots but I can tell you that there is an ongoing coverup. In 2023, FBI and CIA disclosure is still resisted. Intense and prolonged censorship can only confirm conspiracy.

I never endorsed a faked moon landing, partly because I had a seventh-grade science teacher who explained the intricacies of the Apollo mission--retro rockets, LEM's, barriers to safe re-entry and so much more--without benefit of notepad. There were some good teachers in the old days. Even with my imprinted paradigm, I might have entertained the idea of a faked moon landing had Wild Bill Kaysing faced some sort of inflicted hardship or resistance. I don't know of any such persecution.

I was never a believer in 9/11 conspiracies because I don't know of anyone who has been silenced for promoting said theories. I did not believe in the existence of a vast institutionalized child sex conspiracy. I familiarized myself with the Franklin Scandal. A tragic story but I watched the documentary of YouTube without even being subjected to a context blurb. I believe Jerry Sandusky was a lone wolf with friends in high places and Jimmy Saville was also a soloist with friends in even higher places. I believe--strongly believe--that Pizzagate is a series of coded messages concerning narcotics, not kids.

In 2020 and 2021, YouTubers like Polly St. George were expelled from the platform. Community standards blah blah blah. A common denominator of many of the banished was the discussion of conspiratorial pedophilia. Alphabet/Google might just be hyper-realists but do they obliterate vids about elves or hobbits or unicorns? Why then, terminate The Amazing Polly if she was just spinning fairy tales?  

Now it seems that censored news has become the norm. Every facet of COVID has been adulterated, including potentially life-saving information involving alternative treatments. Weaponization of government, especially the January 6 Reichstag fire, is a topic that will get you banned from a multitude of platforms. 

At the top of the pyramid is election fraud. You don't believe in election fraud? Trump's big lie? Why then, did the FBI feel the need to follow Mike Lindell on a duck hunt and confiscate his phone at a Hardee's drive-through? Tell me what is censored and I will tell you what is probably true.

An Immodest Proposal: Defund And Eliminate Department Of Homeland Security Immediately.

We could streamline the Federal government by 80 to 90 percent without inflicting discomfort on the citizenry. We have a Department of Energy that does not produce energy, a Department of Education that has passively witnessed the decline of American education at every level, and a Department of Agriculture that sometimes impedes the production of food. A parlor game arises: if I could only eliminate one federal bureaucracy, what would it be?

My blue ribbon choice is the Department of Homeland Security, DHS. Reason for the thumbs down?

1. Justification for its origin,

2. Redundant missions.

3. Repeated mission failure.

4. 240,000 employees.

5. Capacity for weaponization.

Department of Homeland Security was created in the wake of  the 9/11 terrorist attacks when it was made obvious that the people who are supposed to protect our homeland, failed to do so. The FBI, NSA, CIA, Customs, et al, let the easy pop fly hit the ground. Rather than addressing the ineptitude and the priorities of the Muellers and Tenets, the Bush Administration proposed a raw recruit for The Keystone Cops.

From the birth of this demonic spawn it was unclear where DHS would fit in the crowded corridor of bureaucracy. Its purported missions were already the turfed out by bigger and older agencies. Blessed with a gargantuan budget, DHS justified its existence by offering grants to local police. Under DHS profligacy almost every Mayberry has been militarized.

Despite its dubious purpose, DHS would swell to 240,00 employees, roughly 7 times as many employees as the FBI, 4 times as many as Customs and Border Protection, and 3 times as many as the IRS. Whatever else one might think of the IRS, we at least know its function. Ditto, Customs and to a lesser extent, the FBI. Can anyone describe DHS's province in one sentence? 

DHS has duplicated purported services while failing to deliver results. Has DHS protected the integrity of our elections? No. Has DHS rooted out nefarious foreign interventions in our electoral system? Has DHS protected our country from invasion on our southern border? Fail. Did DHS protect our American cities from BLM arsonists in the Summer of Love? Have they stepped up to protect the citizenry in areas where police have been defunded and prosecutors permit crimes against property and people?  LOL.

DHS is The Department of Redundancy Department on steroids. It is also a serious drain on our resources, a budgetary toothache that keeps on throbbing. But the best argument against DHS is not its hefty price tag for zero productivity. The better argument is that the Obama/Biden Regime has weaponized just about every facet of government/ and DHS provides them with too many opportunities to terrorize American citizens. Do we need to fund 240,000 mini-Merricks?

Defund! Banish! Eliminate!

So Fox News Beheaded Tucker Carlson?

The editor was working on another column when he was informed that Tucker Carlson was fired from Fox News. The purported reason for Carlson's beheading is related to the Dominion lawsuit. This is absurd because Carlson did not discuss election fraud and ridiculed those who did, both on air and in text messages. Let's leave that on the back burner for now.

We all have strong opinions about Fox News. Generally, I am emotionally detached from matters related to news networks and jumbo corporations, but I will concede that I genuinely despise Fox News. To say they are deceptive is to understate the compounding intricacies of their deception. It is like saying Bernie Madoff made an accounting error.

"Even Fox News..." Don't you love that phrase? As if somehow these privileged millionaires spoke for you or me. "Even Fox News says..." As if the entirety of narrative perspective has been covered by the MSM chorus and their wresting villain foe, Fox News. "Even Fox News admits..." as in they somehow speak for you and me. "Even Fox News..." as if Fox News has any relevance whatsoever.

I don't want to turn this into "Roger and Me" so I will only go back a few years with Fox. Circa 2018 I started listening to YouTubers like Katie G. and X22 Report. YouTube did not immediately find these pundits threatening and they would follow up with videos of people whose audiences watched the same video I was watching. So I was exposed to Amazing Polly, Deception Bytes, Jordan Sather, Dustin Nemos, Praying Medic and many other interesting vidcasters. It should be noted that everyone that I found interesting would later be purged from YouTube in the months preceding the 2020 presidential election.

I don't remember if it was 2018 or 2019 but at some point YouTube followed up EVERY interesting video with a Fox News video. I already held a dim view of Fox News, but I thought of them as more inept than corrupt, more white bread than cyanide. I did not think of them as Google coconspirators, but there they were, directing this lost lamb back to the flock.

Election integrity is the great divide. Election integrity eclipses every other issue. It will forever divide us from MSM, the Dems, the deep state, the weaponized bureaucracy, Never-Trumpers, Con Inc., Rona McDaniel, Tim Poole, Reason.com, and to be multiply-redundant, Fox News. The censors have eased up on COVID news, but they still work diligently to quash information regarding our rigged elections. So I am dismissive of Fox News.

Having said that, I do see Fox News from time to time. Part of that is because YouTube still follows vaguely political or even apolitical videos with Fox News vids. Almost always, that video features Tucker Carlson. Also, I see Tucker videos embedded into other stories at a myriad of sites. Never Hannity or Ingraham or Judge Jeanine, or even the sometimes-witty Greg Gutfeld. Tucker and Tucker only.

I have to admit that Carlson sometimes hits it out of the park. He did a good job on the J6 footage, but he left a lot undone. He challenged the multiple COVID narratives, long after real journalists but far ahead of his talking head peers. Ukraine. The Southern border. Alvin Bragg. Merrick Garland. Nothing was off-limits to Tucker. NOTHING EXCEPT ELECTION FRAUD!

Fox News is firing the only reason people watch their decrepit network. Coupled with the bizarre Dominion settlement, we are witnessing the controlled demolition of Fox News. Fox New was destroyed from within. By the way, if the Federales have not launched an investigation to determine if Fox News management holds a financial stake in Staple Street Capital, we are witnessing dereliction of duty.

Whither Carlson? Carlson is bigger than Fox News but we said the same thing about Glenn Beck years ago and his solo career has not gone so well. No one is scouring the net to see where Don Lemon lands, but Tucker is another matter. If Carlson is willing to follow up on J6 and open Pandora's Election Fraud Box, a titan will rule the news media. It's fun to dream, isn't it?

Why Recent Books Seem Dated

Let me pre-editorialize by stating that I generally dislike the standard book review. Is it the format, the formality, or the formula? All of the above. 

Here is a recurring theme that I will recycle from time to time: Something happened in Obama's runup to the presidency that marked a change in Western Civilization. The biased news media cranked up the partisan thermostat and memories of a pre-inferno living room are but a memory.

It was as if the hometown refs had tired of their brittle-boned team's anemic efforts, and they took it upon themselves to perform lay-ups in the Visitor's basket. The victorious fourth estate would never abandon their referee jerseys. They would scrub  their silliest, gushiest, most inane Obama praise from YouTube and feigned objectivity would stage a comeback from time to time. But when summoned, the player-refs would sink as many baskets as needed to raise another banner to the ceiling.

The self-adoring press flexed their muscles in 2008 and let the world know that they would decide the outcome of America's presidential election. They would establish the divinity of Barack Obama and identify the organic racism festering in even the gentlest of his critics. The hive media would hammer home the illegitimacy of the 2016 presidential election and the hyper-legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election. They would decide all that was significant about COVID, from its origins, to its dispersal, to its likelihood of infection, to its severity of infection, from the efficacy and safety of the newly-created vaccines to the incompetence, stupidity and criminal recklessness of Pfizer skeptics, from the efficacy of masks to...the rules of the game had changed. The before and after photos prompt the query: Is that the same model?

This brings us to two interesting books that try to make sense of the Obama coronation. I recently gave away my copies of both these books. I can recommend them highly but...they do not age well. 

The first epistle is "A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media" by Bernard Goldberg.

The second journal is "Obama Zombies: How the Liberal Machine Brainwashed My Generation" by Jason Mattera.

Both of these works pierce the bullseye. If you want hard-hitting media criticism from a self-professed liberal, Goldberg delivers. If you want vignettes of shamelessly-stupid adoration for Barack Obama, Mattera delivers. The question in hindsight is, are any of these things revelatory?

Both Mattera and Goldberg seem to believe in a return to normalcy. There seems to be the wish, even the expectation, that the subjects will wake up to a Kevorkian-level hangover, take the pulse of the mysterious person in bed next to them, and with a sigh of relief ask aloud, "What was I not thinking?" The Jimmy Olsens would rededicate themselves to truth and objectivity and the Obama Zombies would cultivate the subtle joys of common sense. Hah!

Corrupt media and mindless followers are now fixtures of the American landscape. Not ubiquitous as cell phones but plentiful enough to photobomb every other snapshot. Goldberg and Mattera harken back to an era when shame was possible, and redemption was desirable. For these reasons, the aforementioned books seem hopelessly dated.
