This Is the Purge We All Knew Was Coming: “Shutting Down Extremist Content”

There have been murmurs about it all along. Someday, they simply wouldn’t allow certain things to remain on the Internet any longer. The potential to reach a global audience with important information, and the idea that it could be in the hands of anyone is just too big. So it is no surprise that many corporate giants from Silicon Valley are now putting forward a unified front to silence free speech on social media. Hashtags, keywords and flagged accounts, logged in various databases, will be shared and enforced across the web. Shutting down content identified as unacceptable will now be streamlined, and leave unpopular posters with fewer places to peddle their extremist, outside ...
Libertarians and Democrats Need to Fall in Love Again

Trump's authoritarianism warrants a return of the "liberaltarian." These are dark days in Washington, but a tiny bit of good news broke on Monday— an earnest across-the-aisle gesture, made in good faith, that should give heart to the anti-Trump resistance in its infancy, and perhaps even suggest a path forward for defending American democracy. In a show of solidarity with their left-leaning brethren, the libertarian group Students for Liberty posted an open letter to College Democrats, commiserating about the direction of the country and offering to work with them on issues where they agree—namely immigration, criminal justice reform, aversion to military ...
Federal judge kills recount effort in Michigan

A federal judge has stopped the hand recount of nearly 5 million ballots in Michigan, a decision that seems to secure Donald Trump's narrow victory in the traditionally blue state. U.S. District Judge Mark Goldsmith, who effectively ordered the recount to begin Monday, sided with a state appeals court Wednesday in halting the effort, ABC News reported. On Tuesday, a Michigan appeals court ruled 3-0 that Green Party candidate Jill Stein should not have been allowed to demand a recount because she is not an "aggrieved candidate." Goldsmith, after hearing arguments from the state Republican Party and GOP attorney general, agreed. "Because there is no basis for this ...

(AP Photo/Andrew Harnik) WASHINGTON – President-elect Donald Trump is expected to nominate Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, a source close to Pruitt said Wednesday.

Santa Maria, CA — As the war on alleged ‘fake news’ wages on, the establishment is losing horribly. All the corporate media and government’s war on fake news has done is serve to expose the most guilty — the corporate media and the government. From the Gulf of Tonkin to Weapons of Mass Destruction — corporate media and government have colluded to perpetuate the death and suffering of millions. Government constructed lies spread by their mouthpieces in the media isn’t solely limited to the Pentagon and their blowhards. As a new report from the Guardian shows, fake news is also put out by police departments. When Santa Maria police chief Ralph Martin ...

President-elect Donald Trump said Wednesday that he is taking advice on his political appointees from the man he spent months railing against on the campaign trail: President Barack Obama. Trump said on NBC’s “Today” that he has sought the president’s advice on the candidates for various appointment-level positions and, in at least one case so far, has acted on that advice. “I have asked him what he would think of this one and that one,” Trump said. “I would say that, yes, I take his recommendations very seriously, and there are some people that I will be appointing, and in one case have appointed, where he thought very highly of that person, yes.” ...

Don’t trust banks to protect the money you’ve deposited? You’re hardly alone. From a legal standpoint, the money you deposit in a bank no longer belongs to you. Instead, the bank owns it. You are merely just another one of their unsecured creditors. What’s more, in the event of future bank failures, the US government has now signed an international agreement confirming that it will not pay off depositors. Instead, it will force them to submit to a “bail-in” regime, like bank depositors in Cyprus experienced in 2013. The bail-in scenario, on top of the lowest interest rates in 5,000 years, has led many bank depositors to make the entirely rational decision to ...

Thanks to Breitbart News’ #DumpKelloggs petition, over 380,000 Americans, many of whom voted for President-elect Donald Trump, have vowed to boycott Kellogg’s after the cereal company’s decision to pull its advertising. After left-wing advocacy groups launched a social media campaign to coerce companies away from advertising on Breitbart, Kellogg’s publicly announced they would comply with their demands — and made the vague claim that Breitbart and its tens of millions of readers “aren’t aligned with” the cereal maker’s “values as a company.” Indeed, our research has shown Kellogg’s values would not “align” with most ...

Like a bolt of lightning, that call of congratulations from Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen to President-elect Donald Trump illuminated the Asian landscape. We can see clearly now the profit and loss statement from more than three decades of accommodating and appeasing China, since Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger made their historic journey in 1972. What are the gains and losses? Soon after Nixon announced the trip in July 1971, our World War II ally, the Republic of China on Taiwan, was expelled from the UN, its permanent seat on the Security Council given to the People’s Republic of China’s Chairman Mao, a rival of Stalin’s in mass murder. In 1979, Jimmy Carter ...

The Pearl Harbor false flag operation of December 7th, 1941 which provided the excuse for the US to enter World War 2 is to be celebrated once again. This Wednesday (December 7th, 2016) will be the Pearl Harbor 75th Anniversary event. The horrific event was yet another in a long long line of false flag operations that have been carried out by unscrupulous criminals (our misleaders) over the years.Just as with the 9/11 false flag attack, around 3000 American lives were sacrificed so that the US Government had the pretext they needed to go to war. As the 75th anniversary approaches, it is appropriate to cast our gaze back in time and set the record straight on ...

Throughout history, government officials have tried to stop "fake news" through various means. Socrates For example, Socrates was killed in 399 BC for spreading "fake news". His crime: “Failing to acknowledge the gods that the [mainstream media of the day] acknowledges”. William Tyndale William Tyndale was killed in 1536 for spreading "fake news". His crime: Translating the Bible into English so that everyone could read it for themselves, and no longer had to rely on the clergy to tell them what it said.

The “fake news” story isn’t going away. It should have fallen out of the news cycle by now but the establishment and its propaganda media are pushing it hard. On Tuesday, panelists on MSNBC’s Morning Joe agreed something must be done. “It’s time for these isolated know-it-alls in the Silicon Valley of Google and Facebook to get this stuff together on things like this,” demanded Mike Barnicle. “Yeah. They have to have some sort of constraints,” chimed in Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski, the daughter or arch-globalist Zbigniew Brzezinski. “One of the most shocking things to me is you actually have people with college degrees, who read ...
Under President Trump, the Dakota Pipeline and Independence from Saudi Oil is Coming

A spokesman for Donald Trump said Monday that the president-elect is in favor of building the Dakota Access pipeline, and will revisit the Obama administration’s decision to halt construction until it can be routed around land owned by the Standing Rock Sioux tribe. The company behind the project had sought an easement to begin construction. But following months of sometimes violent protests, on Sunday the Army Corps of Engineers said it would find another path for the pipeline. Trump spokesman Jason Miller said the crude oil conduit is ‘something that we support construction of, and we’ll review the full situation once we’re in the White House and make an appropriate ...

John Kasich is increasingly seen as the most acceptable Republican alternative to electors on both sides of the aisle. | Getty Kasich emerges as the group's alternative Electoral College pick. Advocates of the long-shot bid to turn the Electoral College against Donald Trump have been in contact with close allies of Hillary Clinton, according to multiple sources familiar with the discussions, but the Clinton camp — and Clinton herself — have declined to weigh in on the merits of the plan. Clinton’s team and the Democratic National Committee have steadfastly refused to endorse the efforts spearheaded by a group of electors in Colorado and Washington state. But, as ...

BREAKING: Ohio Senate passes ‘Heartbeat Bill’ after lengthy battle COLUMBUS, Ohio, December 6, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) — After years of political maneuvering, vote avoidance, and pro-life division, the Ohio Senate passed a bill that will ban abortions once the baby's heartbeat is detected. The “Heartbeat Bill” hasn’t moved since it was passed in the Ohio House in 2015 after years of delay. If signed into law, the measure would stop the abortion of children whose heartbeat can be detected, which is at about eight weeks' gestation. The bill was added to House Bill 493, which addresses child abuse reporting. It passed by a 21-10 margin during the ...

She has to produce something about a civil war battle. Isn't everybody going to do Gettysburg? A few may do Shiloh or Antietam, or something like that.

Nothing exposes the brutality of police quite like cops beating up one of their own. If police mistake you for a criminal, there is nothing you can do to stop their assault and a retired cop just learned that the hard way. Ronald Lanier, retired Nassau County corrections officer, is now planning to sue the Garden City Police Department after he says they mistook him for a criminal, handcuffed, and then beat him. “I’ve never been cursed, physically abused, beaten and treated like a slave as I was two days ago,” Lanier said through tears as explained how he ended up battered and in the hospital. “For somebody to grab me by the neck in the supermarket, and I’m ...
