Is Internet Censorship Really about Ideology? Or just money?
I think Styx may be right. This may be more about the money than it is about political opinion.
Going by my own experience, I remember how liberating it was when I first connected to the web and specifically, the realization that the print and broadcast media could no longer control the flow of information.
Within weeks of first accessing the web using my 2400 baud modem and the Lynx browser, I started learning HTML and writing my (formerly) letters to the editor directly to the web. My Hamilton-Wentworth Freenet account, as I remember it, came with about 1 Mb of web storage space. I no longer had to pray that some "editor," I.E. corporate censor, would condescend to allow my humble freedom of speech to be actualized by (actually) being published.
And millions of other people had the same idea. A new age of info-freedom was born. What a great ride it has been for a quarter of a century. Freedom!
But as with all good things, it was not to last.
The legacy media began to suffer. They were going the way of the buggy whip. I imagine that for the next twenty-five years legacy media executives were frantically scratching their heads wondering how the hell they were going to put this genie back in the bottle and retain their former privileges as the gatekeepers to the flow of information and opinion. And thus, the flow of the dollars. Or maybe not.
Enter Facebook, Twitter, Google, YouTube, and others whose stunning success created exactly the information chokepoint corporate media could exploit to re-establish its dominance. Whether this was a brilliant pre-planned Pied Piper strategy from the start is something I don't know, but once these entities were firmly entrenched the path forward for media cartels became stunningly clear. For them, it was a wish come true.
These last couple of years have not been happy ones for those of us in the laissez-faire capitalism camp. It starts to look like the Marxists were right all along. The problem, as they like to drone on and on about capitalism, is that it always tends toward monopoly and it certainly looks like this is what has happened in the info-market.
But let's not rush to judgment. Until these concentrated media powers succeed in capturing sleazy politicians, like the Trudeau Liberals, (notice I refrained from the use of expletives here) to employ government power to prohibit and otherwise squeeze out competitors, this story isn't quite over yet. There are still other platforms available, like BitChute and Gab for us info-refugees to emigrate to and establish new settlements.
And when they get conquered and taken over by the capitalist media imperialists, we shall have to colonize some other area of cyberspace. And, unlike landmass, cyberspace is virtually infinite.
It won't be easy but I, for one, have no intention of withdrawing from this fight.
This man is a pathological liar. Notice how he doesn't skip a beat when lying about what HE does to cut down on plastics. The truth is, he has personally done nothing.
About twenty-five or so years ago I was engaged in some quite intense debates on the Hamilton Spectator's bulletin board. At first, it was called "Compuspec." Then it was renamed "SpecLink." Shortly thereafter I learned about the internet and got myself connected as fast as I could.
My first browsing experience was via the Hamilton-Wentworth Freenet, a free dial-in internet service. I was using the Samsung XT compatible PC I bought in 1988 with 640 K of Ram, a 30 Mb Seagate hard drive, and a 2400 baud modem.
Soon after I got on I caught a glimpse of the HTML code behind one of the docs I was viewing. I thought, "That doesn't look too difficult. I can probably learn it myself."
Up until then, I used to write letters to the editors of various Ontario newspapers. Few ever saw the light of day. It was frustrating.
But this new internet thing was very exciting. It immediately occurred to me that I could post my letters on the internet without having them filtered by biased editorial staff at the newspapers. I could literally self-publish and I have been doing so ever since.
What I didn't realize at the time, but has become all too clear since then was that this new information technology was the hole in the dike for the corporate media.
They could no longer control the narrative!
I was there for the birth of alternative media.
It was truly liberating.
The rest is history.
What we are seeing today, in living color, is a desperate attempt by corporate interests to regain control of the narrative. For the first twenty or so years, I naively believed that the genie was finally out of the bottle and along with the, then seemingly rock-solid right to freedom of speech, never to be forced back in.
But I was obviously wrong about that. And I now realize that the devotion to freedom of speech in the West was pure fiction. It was a fiction that would be tolerated only so long as "the people" remained effectively voiceless.
Of course, the more I learn about history, the more I realize that the Infowar has been going on forever and what we are now witnessing is just the latest iteration in that process.
As we can see from James O'Keefe's report, the Infowar is now more intense and dirtier than ever.
James O'Keefe published the following invitation on Twitter.
I accepted his invitation and uploaded his report to my own YouTube channel.
In the event that is has been 1984'd you can also view it on BitChute.

I took screenshots and saved them to my hard drive.

The Handyman's Tale
I have decided to write a script for a television series. The series is loosely based on the 1985 novel, "The Handmaid's Tale," by Margaret Atwood
Here is a broad outline of the story.
===
In the near future, fertility rates collapse as a result of the increasing feminization of men and the battle against climate change. With this chaos, the totalitarian, matriarchal government of Ovaria establishes rule in the post-nation of Canada, in the aftermath of widespread censorship on social media, huge subsidies to corporate media, and the subsequent re-election of Liberal governments.
Society is organized by power-hungry feminist leaders along with a new, military wing dominated by trans male athletes, pink-haired feminists with nose rings, and Antifa members. The regime establishes newly-created social classes, in which white men with inferior anogenital measurements are shamed into selfless servility, and by law are not allowed to do any kind of work outside of toilet cleaning, lawn mowing, and garbage disposal. Their earnings are taxed at 100% minus a small social credit allowance which allows them to procure soy products, lipstick, and sanitary napkins. For their education, they are only allowed to watch the CBC kids channel and, for instruction in science, Al Gore's movies.
The worldwide collapse in male sperm counts has resulted in the conscription of the few remaining fertile men in Ovaria for the continued production of human offspring. They are called Handymen. They are assigned to the homes of the ruling elite, where they must act as sperm donors for their female masters in order to impregnate them so they can bear children for themselves and their wives.
At first, there are huge line-ups of potential donors at all of the government sperm-testing centers until the law prohibiting heterosexual intercourse comes into effect. Once it is revealed to them that, contrary to their initial expectations, they would be hooked up to modified cow milking machines the line-ups dwindle to zero. The government solves this problem by enacting conscription.
Alongside the Handymen, much of society is now grouped into classes that dictate their freedoms and duties. Men are divided into a small range of social categories, each one signified by a plain dress in a specific color: Handymen wear red skirts with white aprons, Subanogens (who are grass cutters, garbage removers, and toilet cleaners, and are named after the distance between the anus and the genitals) wear pink, and Husbands (who are expected to manage the mundane affairs of their households) must walk around in mini-skirts.
Econohusbands, the lower-class men who still have minimal agency, are a sort of mixture of all these categories, and they wear black burqas. Male prisoners are called Unwomen and are worked to death digging holes and filling them back in again to create jobs and control the Earth's climate.
Another class of men, Uncles (who train and oversee the Handymen), wear brown SturmAbteilung uniforms. Additionally, the Eyes are social media platforms, cellphone service providers and credit card companies watching over the general populace for signs of incorrect thoughts, Hunters track down people attempting to engage in cash money transactions, and Jizballs are sex workers who copulate with sheep and chickens to entertain the ruling elites.
Justin Osborne, renamed Yackov, is the Handyman assigned to the home of the Ovarian Commander Freda Trudeau and her wife Serena Joy. Yackov is subject to strict rules and constant scrutiny; an improper word or deed on his part can lead to de-platforming.
Yackov, who is named after his social function, ("to Yack Ov"), like all Handymen, was married and had a daughter, a job, a bank account, and his own name and identity in the "time before he had to do the shopping with his co-handyman, Yerkov," but all he can safely do now is follow the rules of Ovaria in hopes that he can someday live free again and be reunited with his wife and daughter. The Trudeaus, key players in the rise of Ovaria, have their own conflicts with the realities of the society they have helped create. (!)
===
That's about all I have for now. I'm not sure of where to take it from here.
Maybe the characters get to the point where they start to think that the society they are living in is pretty fucked up and needs to consider going in a different direction.
But I am of the opinion that good fiction has to be at least somewhat believable.
How about this? There isn't a revolution. There is just a slow progression in the direction of the ideology which already got them to this point. And it doesn't intend to stop here.
And it takes another thousand years before sanity returns and things start to turn around again.
For the most part, that would be a long, drawn-out, and pretty boring story.
But at least it would be believable.
ARE WE TOO SMART TO BREED?

Leukophobia - Let's Find a Cure
Racism
Definition: a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others.[source] [Italics: mine]
The above definition is incomplete. It should include the following line, "or involving the idea that one's own race is inferior to the others and it is, therefore, appropriate to apologize, grovel, bend over, pay reparations and otherwise accept the role of second-class citizens in their own countries."
Feelings of racial inferiority are the flip-side of racial supremacy. No one should be psychologically bound by such restraints.
This racial inferiority complex is real and is the source of most of the complaints from those of the leftist persuasion in modern Western nations. It's a form of pathological projection. It's not a coincidence that those in the crypto-communist camp cleverly exploit this racial inferiority complex to promote their own Utopian agenda which is, ultimately, equal outcomes across the board. Leftists exploit statistical disparities between different identity groups as prima facie evidence of discrimination when, in fact, it proves nothing of the sort. Non-leftists with some ability to recognize political trajectories have no difficulty in projecting exactly where the obsession with total equality ends. In the graveyard.
“THE ONLY REAL EQUALITY IS IN THE CEMETERY” -- GERMAN PROVERB
It is not a coincidence that communism is responsible for over 100 million deaths in the 20th Century.
Leukophobia
Definition: Fear of the color white. Fear or hatred of white people.[source]
Leukophobia is a serious mental impairment. Worst of all, it is contagious. The disease is spread from person to person primarily by people with a collectivist mindset and greatly amplified in the Mainstream Media, academia, politics, and the entertainment industry. It is an equal opportunity disorder affecting people of all races.
Leukophobia is a form of collectivism because it seeks to collectivize blame and guilt along racial lines.
Leukophobia doesn't just impact those who suffer from it. In has externalities that affect naive and innocent white people as well to the point that many of them are cajoled into culturally spitting in their own faces and committing other acts of self-flagellation such as tearing down historical statues.
Are you looking to be liberated from the shackles the propagators of leukophobia have cunningly imposed upon your mind such that you blame white people for every misfortune or disappointment POC have had in life, and down through history, despite ample evidence that no racial group is above reproach when it comes to mistreatment of others?
Are you a white person, consciously or unconsciously carrying the undeserved burden of shame or guilt over the color of the skin you were born in? Then you could also be suffering from the externalities of leukophobia.
Are you alarmed that making innocuous statements like, "It's Okay to be white," or "All lives matter," are now considered to be "hate speech" and that, in some Western countries, this is already enough to have you investigated by the police or thrown in jail?
Well I am here to provide you with some relief. You are a child of the universe. You have a right to be here. I hope I don't get thrown in jail for saying that.
This exploration is for people of color and self-hating white "liberals." For POC, it is a mistake to assume that white people are inherently superior to you and that, in combination with leftist ideology, the only way to find redress is to support legislation that gives you special rights and privileges and justifies violent, disruptive behavior in public. And for guilt-ridden, white "liberals" it is worse than a mistake since it reveals your deeply hidden feelings of supremacy that manifest themselves when you ignorantly clamor for special rules to compensate for the racial inferiority of non-whites you implicitly acknowledge.
No group should be forced to sit at the back of the bus or be denied access to higher education, etc., because of their skin color. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
You don't level the playing field by moving the goalposts for some of the players. You insult them. Only people of low character would knowingly accept such alms without resentment.
It is just as important for POC to unburden themselves from their belief in white supremacy as it is for white people to reject unearned, undeserved guilt.
It won't be easy. Leukophobia is conditioned within you by unscrupulous demagogues who pursue personal power and wealth by stoking the flames of racial animosity. Call them out wherever you find them. Reject their toxic leukophobia and send them back to the janitorial occupations they deserve. Don't start attacking them with bike locks, pepper spray, and milkshakes though. That is their MO. And ABOVE ALL, do not lower yourself to their level by demanding that they be censored, de-platformed, de-banked, or otherwise de-personed and sent to the Gulag. Encourage them to speak out loud and often so that their toxic ideologies can be fully examined and exposed.
We must all work together to find a cure for this potentially deadly disorder.
"Fear is a dangerous thing. Once it is sanctioned by the state, there is no telling where it might lead. It is always a short path to walk from being suspicious of our fellow citizens to taking actions to restrict their liberty." -- Justin Trudeau
That is probably the only intelligent thing Justin Trudeau has ever said. The truly funny part is that he probably didn't even know it.
Another barrier to finding a cure to leukophobia is the unfortunate fact that it has become commodified in Western society by giving its purveyor's paying jobs in government, education, and the media.
The number of Canadians who are prominent in the incitement of anti-white racial hatred is very large and growing. They are currently, for the most part, concentrated in the universities, the political arena, the music and entertainment industries, and in their versions of the Sturmabteilung and the Roter Frontkämpferbund, I.E. - ANTIFA and BLM in the streets. Here is a short list of some of the better known Canadian race-baiters on Twitter and in the media:
the political principle of centralized social and economic control, especially of all means of production.
RELATED WORDS
communism, totalitarianism, socialism, Maoism, Leninism, Bolshevism, Fabianism, Marxism, Nazism, fascism, liberalism (in it's corrupted post 19th century usage,) and radical environmentalism.

Dodgeball is a tool of ‘capitalist oppression’ used to ‘dehumanize’ others
A team of communist "professors" from government subsidized Canadian universities argued that dodgeball teaches students to dehumanize and harm their peers at a recent (no doubt government subsidized) bullshit-fest in Vancouver.
One of the "researchers," was quoted as saying “[Physical education class] should be an arena where teachers are helping [students] control their aggression and move on instead of expressing themselves through anger.” But is dodgeball really an expression of anger? Or is it just good old-fashioned fun? Maybe I am just a white-supremacist or something because I just can't remember ever feeling anger when I played dodgeball in public school. I do remember it being a whole lot of fun though. The next question, obviously, is what are these professors really targeting? Anger and aggression? Or fun? The answer should be a no-brainer.
"Researchers set out to interview middle-school-age students about broader questions in physical education courses, but kept hearing the same thing from certain students: They hated dodgeball."
"Kept hearing."
The problem with people whose minds have been caught in the steel trap of Cultural Marxism is that, in the end, they only "keep hearing" what they want to hear.
I can't help wondering what the percentage of dodgeball players who hate the game vs. those who love it is. Did these tax-subsidized "researchers" conduct a scientific survey in pursuit of this earth-shaking knowledge? Or did they merely focus their study on the .04% or whatever of students who hate the game?
The "researchers" then "dug deeper" with their negative respondents to plot their answers against the (almost certainly Marxist) Iris Marion Young’s “Five Faces of Oppression,” which are:
Exploitation: Using other people’s labors to benefit for oneself.
Marginalization: Relegating a group of lower standing to the edge of society.
Powerlessness: Those relegated have a lack autonomy.
Cultural imperialism: Establishing the rules and customs of the ruling class as the norm.
Violence: Members of a group of lower standing know they may be subject to random, unprovoked attacks.
What ought to strike the objective observer is the staggering kack of self examination and moral hypocricy involved when taxpayer funded Cultural Marxist "professors" invoke these Five Faces of Oppression without even pausing for one millisecond to measure themselves against it.
Therefore, I will do it for them:
Exploitation: Using other people’s labors to benefit for oneself.
Think of the number of private sector workers who via taxation are forced to have their labors benefit these Cultural Marxist researchers.
Marginalization: Relegating a group of lower standing to the edge of society.
To taxpayers, "We are the experts. Pay up and shut up."
Powerlessness: Those relegated have a lack autonomy.
An apt description of the millions of taxpayers having their income extorted from them and going into the pockets of these social parasites for the manufacture of utterly worthless and downright offensive "research."
Cultural imperialism: Establishing the rules and customs of the ruling class as the norm.
Of course, one of the study authors, ruling class memberJoy Butler, fails to see the irony here. This means banning dodgeball.
Violence: Members of a group of lower standing know they may be subject to random, unprovoked attacks.
Taxpayers well understand that if they do not submit to the financial oppression these Cultural Marxists depend upon for their very existence, the state will not flinch in resorting to violence to get their hands on the cash. And, more than ever before, anyone who dares question the dominant Cultural Marxist narratives are finding themselves de-platformed on social media and subject to numerous random attacks from their militant wing activists with bike locks, pepper spray, roundhouse kicks, bats, bricks, and even milkshakes.
And This is Rich
"When Butler in a focus group asked a class to create a brand new game — the only requirements were that it involved a ball and two goals and that the entire class had to form a consensus about the rules — the same group of students split off to develop a game without consulting peers. She said that showed the culture established by dodgeball spills into other activities in physical education."
"Kept hearing."
"kept hearing the same thing from certain students."
What about their peers?
As if Butler and her little group of crypto-commie "researchers" don't use the exact same tactics, which end up spilling into every other nook and cranny of education.
Conclusion
There is nothing more "dehumanizing" than being a typical taxpayer in a typical welfare state and being oppressed by the tax collector only to have your money used to provide sustenance to these fraudulent intellectuals along with the funding for the never-ending stream of excrement they produce.
Final Note
A sensible and humane approach to eliminating the "oppression" of students who hate dodgeball would be to simply allow them to opt out of playing the game. But that solution is just too easy. Even a simple cab driver could figure it out. Who needs a bunch of pompous left-wing, tax-sucking "professors" and their featherbedding Rube Goldberg "solutions?"
