Nothing provokes hysteria and panic in servants of establishment power more than the possibility of spaces on the internet they can’t control and censor. These two — @jaredlholt and @timsquirrell — work for a benign-sounding group (@ISDglobal) funded by the US Security State:
 

"A tech bro billionaire or an unhinged rapper dabbling in antisemitism can make decisions that change history—without democratic oversight," writes @jaredlholt and @timsquirrell https://t.co/It9DZMsMgK

There’s a huge number of people like this who present themselves just as nice liberal social media personalities who, in fact, are funded by every establishment center of power and, especially, Western security agencies. Why? Because their only job is to agitate for censorship.
 

 

 
Their media counterparts are the employees of large media corporations whose only function is to target, threaten and expose ordinary people whose crime is expressing dissent from establishment orthodoxies.
 
This new brand of media employee never targets power. They serve it. These are the most dangerous people, absolute menaces, in media. They abuse the power of the world’s largest corporate platforms to demand censorship of ordinary people: NBC’s “disinformation” agents (@oneunderscore__ and @BrandyZadrozny), @TaylorLorenz, the NYT’s tech team.
 

 

 

 
These people are the literal opposite of what journalism is supposed to be. Their only purpose is to monitor the internet to find and punish ordinary people whose views they believe should be prohibited because they deviate from establishment decrees. They are censorship agents. There is an entire industry funded by liberal billionaires (Soros and Omidyar) and Western Security State agencies whose only purpose is to censor the internet. The fraudulent “disinformation” industry is for this. These “journalists” are their soldiers. (harpers.org/archive/2021/0…) It makes me physically sick to see these people call themselves “journalists” when their only function is to silence ordinary citizens, narrow the scope of permitted debate, and use the largest media corporations to punish any dissent. They know their power depends on silencing. That’s why any attempt to create spaces on the internet where “unfettered conversations” can occur instantly become their target: Musk’s purchase of Twitter, Ye’s purchase of Parler, places like Rumble, Substack, Callin that refuse to silence what they deem “disinformation.”
 
Every major debate in the West over the past 5 years has been severely censored by this cartel: COVID, Russiagate, the war in Ukraine, the 2020 election, January 6. If you want to know who your real enemies are, focus on those who are devoted to this censorship regime.
