Great Dutch 🇳🇱 Journalist @robertjensen (https://x.com/robertjensen), a proper alternative thinker, dissects my renewed ban from Europe - the official reasons he takes us through are beyond belief in their extreme nature. It is censorship on steroids. Meanwhile, the fake 'alternative stars' ignore all this while claiming to stand up for freedom. I have heard it said that they are silent because I call out their fakery, but they ignored the first @davidicke (https://x.com/davidicke) ban on the same grounds before I was calling them out.

🚨BREAKING: Leaked documents from the Center for Countering Digital Hate reveal their primary goal is to "Kill Musk's Twitter" by targeting advertising and leveraging EU regulations.
The British non-profit organization hosted a private meeting with liberal groups opposing Musk’s free speech platform, including representatives from the Biden White House, Rep. Adam Schiff’s office, the Biden-Harris State Department, and Media Matters for America.

Please Help: They’re trying to kill Tommy Robinson (@TRobinsonNewEra (https://x.com/TRobinsonNewEra)
) in prison That’s been dubbed the UK’s “Guantanamo Bay”, where many terrorists and murderers are serving their time. But the new prison governor has decided to make Tommy’s life hell — and to possibly put him in a position where he’ll be killed by jihadist prison gangs. At Tommy’s request, we’ve hired a UK law firm specializing in prison law to take action to compel the prison to protect Tommy. Tommy has been in Belmarsh before, but the previous prison governor put Tommy in a special unit called the “contingency suites” where no other prisoners had access to him. It was the same prison within a prison where Julian Assange was held. It’s psychologically damaging to be in solitary confinement for so long, but at least Tommy was allowed visitors and he knew he wouldn’t be attacked. But the new prison warden, a diversity hire named Jenny Louis, gave Tommy two choices: be thrown into the general population of the prison (where he would be killed by jihadist gangs) or to be locked up in a tiny cell “down the block” for 23½ hours a day. But being put “down the block” is a punishment, usually reserved for violent prisoners who engage in misconduct while in prison. It’s not a permanent holding cell meant for long-term use. According to a recent government inspection of Belmarsh, the average length of time a prisoner has been punished “down the block” is 18 days. Tommy was sentenced to 18 months. No-one could survive that, but that’s what this woke prison governor was threatening to do. She also threatened to punish Tommy in other ways, including severely limiting the number of visitors he’s allowed to receive. This is morally unacceptable. And it’s illegal, too. Tommy wasn’t convicted of a crime — contempt of court is a civil offence. As a civil prisoner, he has many more rights. A politically angry prison governor can’t just punish him because she dislikes him. She’s done this before, by the way. When Julian Assange was in prison there, she tried to stop him from even getting married. And she banned Reporters Without Borders from even visiting Assange to see if he was OK. She’s used to bullying prisoners. It’s only been a couple of days and she is adding extra punishments to Tommy’s sentence. Well, not if we have anything to say about it. We’ve got to fight back. Even the judge who sentenced Tommy to prison said how dangerous a prison setting is for Tommy. Before Tommy went to prison, he asked me to look after legal matters like this, and now that he sees what it’s like on the inside, he has approved the plan to hire specialist prison lawyers to challenge this out-of-control governor. I’m pleased to say the new law firm has already made contact with Tommy and is going to battle for him. I’ve promised to crowdfund the cost, so that Tommy’s family doesn’t have to bear this burden. Please help us protect Tommy in prison — it might even save his life.

Steve Bannon Speaks Out After Prison Sentence: "Political Prisoner":
185uyLxLi8c
Longtime Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon was released from prison early Tuesday, after serving a four-month sentence for defying a subpoena in the congressional investigation into the U.S. Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021. Steve Bannon spoke with reporters following his release.
Exactly one week before Election Day, Bannon left the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, according to Kristie Breshears, a spokesperson for the federal Bureau of Prisons. Bannon, 70, reported to the prison July 1 after the Supreme Court rejected his bid to delay the prison sentence while he appeals his conviction.
He previously served as the chief executive officer of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and served as the White House's chief strategist for the first several months of the Republican president’s administration. Trump is seeking to regain the presidency in next week's election against Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.

WARNING: They Are Scrubbing the Internet Right Now
This article originally appeared on Brownstone Institute and was republished with permission.
Guest post by Jeffrey A. Tucker and Debbie Lerman
Instances of censorship are growing to the point of normalization. Despite ongoing litigation and more public attention, mainstream social media has been more ferocious in recent months than ever before. Podcasters know for sure what will be instantly deleted and debate among themselves over content in gray areas. Some like Brownstone have given up on YouTube in favor of Rumble, sacrificing vast audiences if only to see their content survive to see the light of day.
It’s not always about being censored or not. Today’s algorithms include a range of tools that affect searchability and findability. For example, the Joe Rogan interview with Donald Trump racked up an astonishing 34 million views before YouTube and Google tweaked their search engines to make it hard to discover, while even presiding over a technical malfunction that disabled viewing for many people. Faced with this, Rogan went to the platform X to post all three hours.
Navigating this thicket of censorship and quasi-censorship has become part of the business model of alternative media.
Those are just the headline cases. Beneath the headlines, there are technical events taking place that are fundamentally affecting the ability of any historian even to look back and tell what is happening. Incredibly, the service Archive.org which has been around since 1994 has stopped taking images of content on all platforms. For the first time in 30 years, we have gone a long swath of time – since October 8-10 – since this service has chronicled the life of the Internet in real time.
As of this writing, we have no way to verify content that has been posted for three weeks of October leading to the days of the most contentious and consequential election of our lifetimes. Crucially, this is not about partisanship or ideological discrimination. No websites on the Internet are being archived in ways that are available to users. In effect, the whole memory of our main information system is just a big black hole right now.
The trouble on Archive.org began on October 8, 2024, when the service was suddenly hit with a massive Denial of Service attack (DDOS) that not only took down the service but introduced a level of failure that nearly took it out completely. Working around the clock, Archive.org came back as a read-only service where it stands today. However, you can only read content that was posted before the attack. The service has yet to resume any public display of mirroring of any sites on the Internet.
In other words, the only source on the entire World Wide Web that mirrors content in real time has been disabled. For the first time since the invention of the web browser itself, researchers have been robbed of the ability to compare past with future content, an action that is a staple of researchers looking into government and corporate actions.
It was using this service, for example, that enabled Brownstone researchers to discover precisely what the CDC had said about Plexiglas, filtration systems, mail-in ballots, and rental moratoriums. That content was all later scrubbed off the live Internet, so accessing archive copies was the only way we could know and verify what was true. It was the same with the World Health Organization and its disparagement of natural immunity which was later changed. We were able to document the shifting definitions thanks only to this tool which is now disabled.
What this means is the following: Any website can post anything today and take it down tomorrow and leave no record of what they posted unless some user somewhere happened to take a screenshot. Even then there is no way to verify its authenticity. The standard approach to know who said what and when is now gone. That is to say that the whole Internet is already being censored in real time so that during these crucial weeks, when vast swaths of the public fully expect foul play, anyone in the information industry can get away with anything and not get caught.
We know what you are thinking. Surely this DDOS attack was not a coincidence. The time was just too perfect. And maybe that is right. We just do not know. Does Archive.org suspect something along those lines? Here is what they say:
Last week, along with a DDOS attack and exposure of patron email addresses and encrypted passwords, the Internet Archive’s website javascript was defaced, leading us to bring the site down to access and improve our security. The stored data of the Internet Archive is safe and we are working on resuming services safely. This new reality requires heightened attention to cyber security and we are responding. We apologize for the impact of these library services being unavailable.
Deep state? As with all these things, there is no way to know, but the effort to blast away the ability of the Internet to have a verified history fits neatly into the stakeholder model of information distribution that has clearly been prioritized on a global level. The Declaration of the Future of the Internet makes that very clear: the Internet should be “governed through the multi-stakeholder approach, whereby governments and relevant authorities partner with academics, civil society, the private sector, technical community and others.” All of these stakeholders benefit from the ability to act online without leaving a trace.
To be sure, a librarian at Archive.org has written that “While the Wayback Machine has been in read-only mode, web crawling and archiving have continued. Those materials will be available via the Wayback Machine as services are secured.”
When? We do not know. Before the election? In five years? There might be some technical reasons but it might seem that if web crawling is continuing behind the scenes, as the note suggests, that too could be available in read-only mode now. It is not.
Disturbingly, this erasure of Internet memory is happening in more than one place. For many years, Google offered a cached version of the link you were seeking just below the live version. They have plenty of server space to enable that now, but no: that service is now completely gone. In fact, the Google cache service officially ended just a week or two before the Archive.org crash, at the end of September 2024.
Thus the two available tools for searching cached pages on the Internet disappeared within weeks of each other and within weeks of the November 5th election.
Other disturbing trends are also turning Internet search results increasingly into AI-controlled lists of establishment-approved narratives. The web standard used to be for search result rankings to be governed by user behavior, links, citations, and so forth. These were more or less organic metrics, based on an aggregation of data indicating how useful a search result was to Internet users. Put very simply, the more people found a search result useful, the higher it would rank. Google now uses very different metrics to rank search results, including what it considers “trusted sources” and other opaque, subjective determinations.
Furthermore, the most widely used service that once ranked websites based on traffic is now gone. That service was called Alexa. The company that created it was independent. Then one day in 1999, it was bought by Amazon. That seemed encouraging because Amazon was well-heeled. The acquisition seemed to codify the tool that everyone was using as a kind of metric of status on the web. It was common back in the day to take note of an article somewhere on the web and then look it up on Alexa to see its reach. If it was important, one would take notice, but if it was not, no one particularly cared.
This is how an entire generation of web technicians functioned. The system worked as well as one could possibly expect.
Then, in 2014, years after acquiring the ranking service Alexa, Amazon did a strange thing. It released its home assistant (and surveillance device) with the same name. Suddenly, everyone had them in their homes and would find out anything by saying “Hey Alexa.” Something seemed strange about Amazon naming its new product after an unrelated business it had acquired years earlier. No doubt there was some confusion caused by the naming overlap.
Here’s what happened next. In 2022, Amazon actively took down the web ranking tool. It didn’t sell it. It didn’t raise the prices. It didn’t do anything with it. It suddenly made it go completely dark.
No one could figure out why. It was the industry standard, and suddenly it was gone. Not sold, just blasted away. No longer could anyone figure out the traffic-based website rankings of anything without paying very high prices for hard-to-use proprietary products.
All of these data points that might seem unrelated when considered individually, are actually part of a long trajectory that has shifted our information landscape into unrecognizable territory. The Covid events of 2020-2023, with massive global censorship and propaganda efforts, greatly accelerated these trends.
One wonders if anyone will remember what it was once like. The hacking and hobbling of Archive.org underscores the point: there will be no more memory.
As of this writing, fully three weeks of web content have not been archived. What we are missing and what has changed is anyone’s guess. And we have no idea when the service will come back. It is entirely possible that it will not come back, that the only real history to which we can take recourse will be pre-October 8, 2024, the date on which everything changed.
The Internet was founded to be free and democratic. It will require herculean efforts at this point to restore that vision, because something else is quickly replacing it.

Australia's 🇦🇺 Insane Social Media Ban:
yUNDWsR2-Oc
World first: Banning children under 16 from using social media. On the surface it sounds fine but as you dig deeper, things get murky.
A new Australian bill aimed at banning social media access for children aged 16 and younger due to concerns about the negative effects of social media on youth.
This bill is noted to be the strictest of its kind globally, with provisions for age verification that may involve government ID or biometric data.
A recent survey shows significant public support for the ban, with 61% of Australians favoring restrictions for those under 17.
Proposed age verification methods include a double-blind tokenized approach, where a third party verifies age without revealing personal information, and algorithms based on user behavior.
There is skepticism regarding privacy implications, particularly concerning potential facial scanning or document uploads for verification.
The Prime Minister emphasized the importance of privacy protections while acknowledging the complexities involved in implementing these measures.
Raising awareness about the bill's implications for children's safety and privacy in the digital age.
Critics argue that banning minors from social media could backfire, leading them to seek alternative, less regulated platforms, increasing their risk.
Concerns are also raised about the loss of peer support that social media provides and the belief that parental responsibility should take precedence over government intervention.
The effectiveness of the ban is questioned, as it could be easily circumvented with VPNs, and the legislation is expected to be introduced to Parliament with uncertain enforcement methods.

The conversation highlights concerns that verifying users' ages, particularly for those under 16, may lead to mass surveillance as everyone would need to submit biometric information to access social media platforms. Digital rights activists express skepticism about the effectiveness of banning minors from social media, arguing it would create a system for monitoring the entire population. The video also touches on Australia’s Digital ID bill, which aims to establish a national identity system. Critics worry that this could lead to government overreach in monitoring citizens' activities. The bill has faced opposition for being passed without debate, raising alarms about privacy and civil liberties. Additionally, the Australian government is pushing a controversial misinformation bill that restricts commentary on sensitive topics like elections and the economy, which has garnered widespread criticism across the political spectrum for infringing on free speech rights. Ultimately, the misinformation bill was withdrawn due to lack of support, reflecting the significant pushback against these legislative measures.
The recent scrapping of a misinformation bill in Australia and the ongoing concerns regarding a proposed ban on social media access for those under 16. Critics argue that the ban could backfire, leading young people to seek alternative, less regulated platforms, potentially exposing them to greater risks. There are also concerns about the loss of peer support that social media provides and the idea that parental responsibility should be prioritized over government intervention. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the ban is questioned, as it could be easily circumvented with VPNs. The legislation will be introduced to Parliament, with implementation expected in a year, but there is uncertainty about how it will be enforced. Ultimately, while the intent to protect children online is acknowledged, the speaker expresses skepticism about the proposed measures and emphasizes the need for parental involvement.

The Australian government's initiative to ban social media access for children under 16 represents a significant legislative move aimed at addressing the potential harms associated with social media use among young people. Here are some key implications and considerations of this proposed ban:
1. Privacy Concerns:
The requirement for age verification could lead to increased collection of personal data, potentially including biometric data like facial recognition or voice analysis. This has raised alarms about privacy, with fears of creating a surveillance system where all users might need to verify their identity to use social media. Critics argue this could be an overreach, potentially infringing on civil liberties.
2. Effectiveness and Enforcement:
There's skepticism about how effectively this ban can be enforced. VPNs and other tools could easily bypass age restrictions, suggesting that the ban might not achieve its intended effect of keeping children off social media platforms. This leads to questions about the practical implementation and the potential for driving youth towards less regulated online spaces.
3. Public Support vs. Implementation Challenges:
While there is considerable public support for the ban, as indicated by surveys, the practical aspects of how it will be implemented are under scrutiny. The methods proposed, like third-party token verification or behavioral algorithms, introduce their own set of issues regarding privacy and the reliability of technology.
4. Impact on Youth Development:
Social media platforms serve multiple purposes beyond entertainment; they are avenues for social interaction, community building, especially for marginalized youth, and can be sources of support. Critics argue that a ban might isolate children, removing beneficial aspects of online interaction and potentially driving them to seek out more dangerous or unregulated digital spaces.
5. Parental vs. Governmental Responsibility:
There's an ongoing debate about where the responsibility should lie—whether it should be more on parents to monitor and guide their children's online activities rather than imposing a government-mandated ban. This touches on broader discussions about parental rights, digital literacy, and autonomy in child-rearing.
6. Precedent for Global Policy:
If successful or if it sets a workable model, this legislation could influence other countries considering similar restrictions. However, its global first status also means Australia is navigating uncharted waters, with outcomes that could either validate the approach or serve as a cautionary tale.
7. Legal and Ethical Debates:
The ban touches on freedom of speech, privacy rights, and the right to information. There's a balance to strike between protecting children and not over-regulating internet use in a way that could affect all users. The withdrawal of a related misinformation bill due to lack of support highlights the sensitivity and complexity of legislating internet use.
8. Mental Health and Social Isolation:
Proponents of the ban argue it might reduce mental health issues like depression and anxiety linked to social media use. However, without providing alternative platforms or support systems, there's a risk of social isolation, especially if children cannot access moderated, safe online communities.
In conclusion, while the intent behind the ban is to safeguard children, the execution and implications of such a policy are fraught with complexities. The legislation's success will largely depend on finding a balance between privacy protection, effective enforcement, and ensuring that the developmental and social needs of young people are still met in a digital age.

$267 Million Wasted In Fight Against 'Misinformation':
ZGrccsAg5A0
According to a new report, the US government keeps pouring money into fighting "misinformation" - but is it just another word for censorship? Also today: Israel moves deeper into Syria. What's the endgame?
Dr. Ron Paul and co-host Daniel McAdams discuss misinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic and government involvement in medicine.
They express concern over the government's allocation of $267 million to combat misinformation, suggesting it often silences dissenting voices under the guise of public protection.
Dr. Paul emphasizes the importance of the First Amendment, which allows for criticism of the government without fear of punishment.
The speakers note that the government's growing power has led to increased censorship of political opponents.
McAdams highlights that the COVID-19 crisis revealed authoritarian tendencies in government, allowing suppression of undesirable information.
They argue that the debate around misinformation is connected to broader issues of property rights and free speech.
The discussion shifts to the challenges posed by the Department of Justice, particularly regarding language and speech control, especially concerning former President Trump.
They critique the government's efforts to suppress information during the pandemic, which led to harmful consequences.
Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter (now X) as a pivotal moment, exposing issues of censorship and government overreach.
They conclude by emphasizing the ongoing struggle for truth in society and the need for careful approaches to free speech amid governmental control.
The Liberty Report (http://www.ronpaullibertyreport.com/), Dr. Ron Paul and co-host Daniel McAdams discuss the ongoing issue of misinformation, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and government involvement in medicine. They express concern over how the government has allocated $267 million to combat misinformation, highlighting that this funding is often used to silence dissenting voices under the guise of protecting the public. Dr. Paul emphasizes the importance of the First Amendment, arguing that it was designed to allow criticism of the government without fear of punishment. He suggests that the government's growing power has led to increased censorship of political opponents. McAdams adds that the COVID-19 crisis revealed the authoritarian tendencies of the government, which now has the precedent to suppress information it deems undesirable. They conclude that the debate around misinformation is tied to broader issues of property rights and free speech.
The challenges posed by the government, particularly the Department of Justice, in controlling language and speech, especially regarding former President Trump. They express concern over the impeachment efforts against Trump, suggesting that the truth has been disregarded in political battles. The speaker reflects on the historical context of free speech and the First Amendment, indicating that while it has generally been upheld, there is a growing unease about its future. The conversation then shifts to the issue of misinformation, especially during the pandemic, where the government labeled certain truths as misinformation, leading to harmful consequences. Dr. Ron Paul critiques the government's attempts to suppress information and the collaboration with social media platforms to silence dissenting voices. They highlight Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter (now X) as a pivotal moment that exposed the underlying issues of censorship and government overreach. The speaker warns that similar tactics will likely be employed in future crises, whether related to health or war, to silence opposing viewpoints. They conclude by emphasizing the ongoing struggle for truth in society, contrasting the pursuit of truth with the nihilism that dismisses its importance, suggesting that this battle has been a historical constant.
The importance of seeking truth beyond government narratives, highlighting how tyranny can control individuals by withholding economic benefits rather than through force. They reflect on the political landscape, noting that many people are starting to recognize systematic lies from mainstream media and government officials. The speaker provides examples of misinformation that was later proven true, such as FEMA withholding aid and Biden's eventual withdrawal from the presidential race. They express concern over the consequences of being labeled a misinformation spreader, including de-banking and de-platforming, and emphasize the need for a careful approach to free speech. The argument is made that property rights play a crucial role in protecting free expression and that discussions around speech should lean towards permissiveness, provided it doesn't incite violence or harm.
The concept of property rights and individual freedoms, arguing that if people own their property, they should be able to practice their beliefs without external interference. They express concern about government control over areas like healthcare and education, suggesting that such control limits debate and individual choice. The speaker uses the example of immigration to illustrate their point, questioning why individuals would be expected to house immigrants against their will, while the government handles such matters collectively. They criticize collective rights, arguing that they can lead to factions that impose their views on others, undermining individual rights. The discussion then shifts to international affairs, particularly the situation in Syria, where the speaker notes Israel's military actions and occupation of territory, raising questions about the U.S.'s alliances, especially with groups like HTS, previously linked to Al-Qaeda. The speaker emphasizes a growing awareness among people regarding these issues, suggesting a potential shift in public sentiment.
US Government's Fight Against "Misinformation" and Censorship Concerns:
Financial Commitment: The US government's allocation of $267 million to combat misinformation, as discussed by Dr. Ron Paul and Daniel McAdams on "The Liberty Report," raises significant concerns about the nature of this expenditure. Critics, including Paul and McAdams, argue that this is often a guise for censorship, particularly of voices that challenge official narratives.
First Amendment Implications: Dr. Paul highlights the importance of the First Amendment, which protects free speech, including the right to criticize the government. The concern here is that under the pretext of fighting misinformation, the government might be infringing on these rights, using its power to silence dissenting opinions.
COVID-19 period as a Precedent: The discussion points to the handling of information during the COVID-19 pandemic as an example of how the government might leverage crises to control speech. The suppression of alternative viewpoints or scientific opinions conflicting with official narratives is seen as an authoritarian move.
Elon Musk and Twitter/X: The acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk is cited as revealing the extent of government involvement in social media censorship. This event has brought to light the collaboration between government entities and social media platforms to manage or suppress information.
Broader Implications: The conversation extends to how this control over speech might impact property rights, suggesting that free speech is intrinsically linked to individual freedoms and property ownership. The argument is that if government can dictate what can be said on one's own property or platform, it's a significant overreach.

What's Going On With Zuckerberg?
X_he67LRlM0
From YouTube Speech to text Script (https://downsub.com):
Host: "Hey everyone, it's Paul Josephson, and today we're diving into something that's got everyone talking. Mark Zuckerberg, the once dark lord of social media censorship, seems to have had a change of heart. Or has he?"
The Fact-Checking U-Turn
"Just today, Zuckerberg announced that they're ditching what many of us have seen as a biased fact-checking system on Meta's platforms. Remember, this was the system that was accused of being a tool for hyper-partisan, left-wing censorship under the guise of neutrality."
"Instead, they're adopting the 'X system' of Community Notes. In Zuckerberg's own words, 'We're going to get back to our roots and focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies, and restoring free expression on our platforms. More specifically, we're going to get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with Community Notes, similar to X, starting in the US.'"
"He even admitted that the fact-checkers ended up doing more harm than good, especially in the US where trust in these systems has plummeted. This shift seems to be in response to what he called a 'cultural tipping point' towards prioritizing free speech after the 2016 elections."
Political Shifts and New Alliances
"But here's where it gets interesting. Zuckerberg has not only changed policy but also reshuffled his board. He appointed Dana White, the CEO of UFC and a major Trump supporter, to Meta's board. This isn't just a business decision; it's a political statement."
"And let's not forget, last summer, Zuckerberg had a patriotic epiphany. After an attempt on Trump's life, Zuckerberg was quoted saying, 'Seeing Donald Trump get up after getting shot in the face and pump his fist in the air with the American flag is one of the most badass things I've ever seen in my life.' He's clearly moved by Trump's resilience and spirit."
"Post-election, he met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, signaling a potential thaw in their relationship. So, what's changed? Is this a genuine change of heart or just a strategic pivot to avoid legal repercussions from a Trump administration?"
The Censorship Legacy and a Personal Challenge
"Zuckerberg's history with censorship is long. Remember the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story? Or how about the misinformation during the pandemic? Has he had a crisis of conscience, or is this just fear talking?"
"Here's my challenge to Mark: If you're so committed to free speech, unban me on Facebook. I was banned back in 2019 for no clear reason, and not before my story was leaked to the media, painting me with the same brush as ISIS and international criminals. Trump defended me then, but I've remained banned. If this is a genuine conversion, prove it by restoring my account."
--o-O-o--
My question remains why are there no consequences for corrupt fact-checkers for all falsely framing, falsely accusing, misrepresenting, leaving out factual necessary contextual key aspects that vindicate the accused etc. all used to WRONGFULLY: censor millions, and delist, shadowban, dethrottle, bury, taken out of search results, completely ban, removal of critical posts, no transparency, contradicting own assumptions and the list of dishonesty is so big it becomes even obvious to millions of neutral people seeing what is going on here! But still NO ACCOUNTABILITY for all the wrong doing. So WHY is normal to punish the legit critics but not the ones who were ACTUALLY wrong & unethical on a massive scale, being 100% responsible for obstruction of justice on many levels?

These are the major financiers of the 'fact checkers' that Mark Zuckerberg is now quitting:
Meta has announced (https://nos.nl/artikel/2550872-techgigant-meta-stopt-samenwerking-met-factcheckers-in-de-vs) that it will stop fact-checking Facebook and Instagram in the US. According to CEO Mark Zuckerberg, these checks too often lead to forms of censorship. FactCheck.org, a 'fact checker' used to combat 'disinformation' about vaccines, is indirectly funded by Johnson & Johnson, known for the Janssen coronavirus vaccine. This 'fact checker' received money from, among others, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. When founder Robert Wood Johnson II died in 1968, he left the foundation more than 10 million shares of Johnson & Johnson. The foundation is run by Richard Besser, a former director of the American health service CDC.

Under one hat
Michael Rectenwald, a professor at New York University until 2019, previously warned in an interview with RT UK that vaccine makers are funding fact-checkers. According to him, they are in cahoots. To combat “disinformation,” Facebook joined forces with the Poynter Institute. Fact-checkers who wanted to work with Facebook had to sign up with Poynter. Dozens of organizations were given permission to fact-check news stories. All of these organizations turned out to be funded by the same cabal. Fact-checkers—and Poynter himself— received money (https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/13-million-in-grants-from-omidyar-network-open-society-foundations-will-expand-poynters-international-fact-checking-network-300481553.html) from Soros’s Open Society Foundations and the Omidyar Network.

underlying goal
The Omidyar Network, founded by Pierre Omidyar, primarily funds groups that are critical of Russia. “The underlying goal is clear: to limit the accessibility of alternative sources of information,” former US diplomat Jim Jatras told RT (https://web.archive.org/web/20201122193525/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djFCNuLKLd0&feature=youtu.be) . “They defend the establishment narrative while trying to discredit other views, which they then have their own biased fact-checkers label as 'fake news,'” he added.

The UK Covid Inquiry was supposed to uncover the truth, but instead, it appears to be justifying government censorship. The Counter Disinformation Unit (CDU) worked behind the scenes to monitor and silence British citizens, flagging content for removal, including posts by leading scientists and researchers. But the real shock? The Inquiry is now praising these censorship efforts instead of holding them accountable. What does this mean for free speech in the UK? And is this part of a wider effort to silence dissent forever? Patrick Christys investigates the shocking reality of the UK Covid Inquiry and why you should be deeply concerned about its findings.

Michael Shellenberger testified on reporting by his news organization Public that the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, whose goals include shaping elections worldwide, "effectively" served as an arm of USAID, whose official admitted USAID approves OCCRP's "key personnel" and "annual work plan" in a German documentary last year. Committee member Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., said he would reintroduce his bill to get rid of "Track F" grants by the National Science Foundation that fund censorship (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?80790-Internet-Censorship-So-it-began...), which Shellenberger described as "middleware" that allows "centralized authorities to decide what the truth was and filter it" and started as "recycle[d]" Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency projects.

Please help us share this documentary worldwide. It is with English subtitles.
The state of Denmark has banned this documentary.
According to the web page Cryolite Gemstone: Properties, Meanings, Value & More (Gem Rock Auctions) (https://www.gemrockauctions.com/learn/a-z-of-gemstones/cryolite), cryolite became especially valuable (as the documentary you post agrees) for making aluminum, and the only significant source for cryolite was mines in Greenland.
However, also according to that Gem Rock Auctions web page, the Greenland mines began to run out, and ways were developed to make synthetic cryolite in sufficient volume and with sufficient efficiency to supply our aluminum smelting needs.
To quote this Gem Rock Auctions web page:
Synthetic Cryolite and Mineral Depletion
As aluminum demand grew, it became clear natural cryolite wouldn’t keep up, so scientists started trying to synthesize it. In 1933, Soviet scientists figured out how to make synthetic cryolite, allowing it to remain prevalent in industrial use.
Mining continued in the Greenland deposit until 1987, when its commercial supply was depleted. From 1960 on, the last of the cryolite went toward the newly established Air Greenland airline.
Just as (natural) cryolite went from a revolutionary material to virtually extinct, Ivittuut went from the most significant cryolite mine in the world to an abandoned ghost town.
Luckily, we still have abundant synthetic cryolite today, and you don’t need to be in aviation to use this crystal for healing!
Hence this Gem Rock Auctions web page casts doubts on what I took to be a major theme of the above "banned in Denmark" documentary, that cryolite from Greenland remains a strategically important source for this essential mineral.

VIDEO: "7SEES: Lies & Ties" - Pub. April 23, 2025 https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/7sees-lies-ties/
"7SEES explains how the "alternative media" has its narratives controlled by a small handful of entities, like Coulson Capital, Telrite Holdings and Tax Network USA and their subsidiaries.
These companies would not be in the business of sponsoring "conservative" content creators, unless Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc hadn't previously de-platformed and algorithmically-crushed all "publishing partners" who were not Woke.
It's tempting to draw a parallel between Coulson subsidiaries' sponsorships of "right wing" influencers and Coulson Aviation's contracts to fight the Directed Energy Weapons attacks in Los Angeles and in Viña del Mar but I don't think that's a totally accurate equation.
Does being sponsored by these entities make people like Dan Bongino bad? Is nobody allowed to make a living? Would things really be better, if we only had Mainstream Media?
That's almost how 7SEES makes it sound, which reminds me of being de-platformed, all over again.
So we currently have a Dead Internet but there are encouraging developments in recent days and weeks, which signal the possibility of a new Golden Age of independent online publishing:
• Google was ruled an illegal monopolist that had "harmed Google's publishing customers, the competitive process, and, ultimately, consumers of information on the open web"
• US Federal censorship of Americans' Free Speech Right is officially being stopped
• Chris Krebs has been designated a "significant bad-faith actor who weaponized and abused his Government authority"
• Tulsi Gabbard has declassified the implementation strategy for the Biden administration's secret domestic surveillance and censorship strategy
• Marco Rubio closed the State Department's Global Engagement Center, which was also illegally censoring Americans

Conservative commentator Candace Owens has publicly criticized Donald Trump for abandoning his “American first” pledge in favor of Israel and against free speech. In a recent episode of her podcast, “Candace,” she voiced concerns over the administration’s actions against universities, particularly regarding free speech issues.
Owens stated, “I never thought that I would see a day where I would be rooting for a university above Donald J. Trump and his administration. But I don’t recognize this administration right now.” She highlighted the administration’s actions against Harvard University, which is facing threats of federal funding cuts for not complying with certain demands.
Jimmy and Kurt Metzger discuss how Trump has betrayed virtually every fundamental pledge he made to his MAGA base.

EU Sanctions Its Own Citizens For First Time Over Ukraine Reporting: This Is How Bad Things Are:
EU foreign ministers on Tuesday agreed to the 17th sanctions package against Russia. The sanctions list added 17 individuals and 58 entities "responsible for actions that undermine the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine". For the first time, sanctions have also been imposed on its own citizens. The 'pro-Russian' German journalists Alina Lipp and Thomas Röper are accused of 'systematically spreading disinformation about the war in Ukraine and thereby supporting Russia'.
Freedom of speech is dead
The EU also accuses Lipp of having contact with Russian forces in eastern Ukraine as a war correspondent and spreading "war propaganda". The journalists, who are reporting on the war in eastern Ukraine and live in Russia, have been banned from travelling and any assets they may have in Europe have been frozen. No money is allowed to be sent to them from the EU. “What are they worried about? I get an envelope from Putin every week, don’t I?” Lipp jokes.
For the first time, the EU is stopping its own citizens at the European border, Lipp writes on X (https://x.com/Alina_Lipp_X/status/1924856626462253139) . “Freedom of speech in ‘free, democratic Europe’ is dead.”
Lipp takes legal action:

source (https://x.com/Alina_Lipp_X/status/1925442291499499960)
This is how bad things are
To all EU citizens she says: “The EU sanctions journalists for news. They sanction me because I went to Donbas and showed how civilians there are being killed by Ukraine with Western weapons. According to the EU, my little Telegram channel (https://t.me/neuesausrussland) endangers the security and stability of the EU. What nonsense.” British journalist Johnny Miller notes that Alina, whose father is Russian, risks her life reporting in the Donbas and advocating for peace in Europe. She has become a threat to the war industry, Miller says. “Europe criminalizes anyone who advocates peace in Europe. That's how bad it is. You would think we would learn from our history. But we don't.”

The UK has just deployed its new "Online Safety Act". A euphemism for more draconian garbage. The intended stated goal is to "protect children".
Protect children!? Since when have THEY ever cared about children??
**
Chris Middleton on X
🚨 UK’s Online Safety Act just came into effect, promising a “safer” internet.
It’s a lie.
This law threatens YOUR privacy, free speech, and democracy and paves the way for a surveilled, censored web.
It’s 250+ pages of confusing legalese. Its vague wording leaves even experts unclear on its full requirements.
Experts have derided it as incoherent and authoritarian.
The alleged goal is to protect children, but the approach is so broad it ends up undermining the very freedoms it claims to defend.
What does the Act do?
It creates a new “duty of care” on all online services to police user content. This means:
✅ Platforms must proactively detect and remove "illegal" and "harmful" content.
✅ Age verification to block under-18s from adult material.
✅ Private messaging apps must scan messages for banned content.
WhatsApp and Signal warn this poses an unprecedented threat to encryption and privacy.
Say goodbye to private messaging?
The Act pressures encrypted apps like WhatsApp and Signal to monitor user chats for illegal content, which experts say could require breaking end-to-end encryption.
Ofcom claims it won’t enforce this immediately, but the legal power remains. A backdoor to your private messages is now on the table.
Age checks and the death of anonymity:
Any site with adult content must now implement "highly effective" age verification. That means:
📸 Face scans
📅 Government IDs
💳 Credit card checks
This applies far beyond just porn to any user-generated platform.
A hacked database of verified users?
A privacy nightmare waiting to happen. Anonymity online is under serious threat.
The net is cast wide. This isn’t just about Big Tech.
The law covers any site that allows users to share or interact. That includes forums, messaging apps, cloud services, open-source platforms, even Wikipedia.
Wikimedia has already launched a legal challenge.
Will it make us safer?
No. Criminals will use VPNs, encrypted tools, and the dark web. The Act does nothing to stop that.
Meanwhile, everyone else will be surveilled, censored, and blocked.
A UK survey of IT professionals found just 14% believe the law is fit for purpose.
Censorship and Chilled Speech:
The Act pressures platforms to delete “harmful” content, even if legal, leading to automated takedowns of art, satire, or dissent.
New offenses for “serious psychological harm” risk criminalizing heated debates.
Platforms will over-censor to avoid fines, stifling free speech.
State control of speech:
Ofcom can now order takedowns or block entire websites for non-compliance.
The Secretary of State can shape what content is prioritised or suppressed.
The UK government now has indirect control over online speech.
A global precedent:
If Britain normalises this level of online control, others will follow. Other western countries will copy it.
Digital rights groups warn it is a "blueprint for repression."
It’s a tale as old as time: invading our privacy under the pretence that it’s for our safety.

VIDEO: "Thousands of Highly Classified Russiagate Documents Found in a Burn Bag Intended for Destruction" - Pub. Aug 4, 2025 by ForbiddenKnowledgeTV.net
(See the RUMBLE video at the end of this post)
"TODD BLANCHE AND THE DOJ STRIKE FORCE ARE WORKING UP PROSECUTIONS FOR RUSSIAGATE. THE 2020 ELECTION & THE PLANDEMIC ARE NEXT
The Mainstream Media hasn't been reporting on the bombshell documents releases of DNI Tulsi Gabbard, other than to attempt to discredit them, because to report on these bombshells would implicate them as having acted – and continuing to act – as Deep State organs pushing false propaganda against the American People.
Last week, NBC even trotted out Susan Miller, who claims to have led the CIA team that conducted the 2017 intelligence assessment on "Russian election interference", and who claims that Tulsi Gabbard and the White House "Are lying, again," and that, "We definitely had the intel to show with high probability that the specific goal of the Russians was to get Trump elected."
But Tulsi tells Benny Johnson here:
"Well, I've checked in to Susan Miller, as well as checked in with some of the folks who were in the room when a lot of this was happening and they have confirmed, through multiple sources that Susan Miller was not the author of this Intelligence Community Assessment. Once again, the Mainstream Media is trotting-out discredited individuals and reports, because if they actually report the truth, they would somehow have to admit their complicity in this, as you pointed-out from day one."
Moreover, Susan Miller's claims are 180º the opposite of what Tulsi's investigation has found. She says this January 2017 assessment was ordered by President Obama in the final weeks of his presidency after the Intelligence Community had already consistently assessed that Russia had neither the intent nor the capability to be able to influence or swing the election for Donald trump. The CIA and the FBI even reported that January 2017 assessment was knowingly filled with falsehoods. Yet Brennan and Clapper shared that document and its assessment with "High Confidence".
Crazier still, former MI6 agent Christopher Steele, whose "Pee-Pee Dossier" was used by Hillary Clinton's campaign to discredit Trump was working for sanctioned Russian oligarchs and many of his sources were Russian spies. Steele was a foreign agent paid millions of dollars by the Clinton Campaign to undermine the 2016 US election. The Clintonista narrative that Trump is a foreign agent is a Satanic Inversion of the truth.
Tulsi tells Benny:
"When we talk about 'accountability', these are the things that we are talking about. There were no accidents, here. All of this was done intentionally and willfully, creating an intelligence assessment filled with falsehoods, specifically to sell a lie to the American People, to delegitimize the 2016 election, to delegitimize President Trump and his administration and use this document as the so-called evidence for everything that would come after, from Congressional impeachments to years'-long investigations, to harassment; investigations and smears against the President and his family, senior officials, some having to serve time in jail.
"The list goes on and on and this is where I think it's important, Benny to just remind people about the seriousness of these implications and how it has to do, not with Democrats or Republicans but with every American and our ability to have faith in the integrity of our elections and that there will be a peaceful transition of power; peaceful transfer of power.
"Once the American People's voices are heard in an election, as they were in 2016, with President Trump, President Obama should have said, "The People have spoken. We will prepare for this Transition. That didn't happen in 2016. Instead, they were unhappy that President Trump got elected and began this process of creating a manufactured intelligence assessment filled with falsehoods, specifically to undermine and delegitimize President Trump's presidency...
"This is not my view or my opinion or my interpretation. Go and read the documents, yourself. Look at the emails that were sent from James Clapper's assistant out to the intelligence community, communicating that this assessment will be created 'per the President's direction'.
"Read the documents for yourself and then you can see, as you go through the documents how, in the months leading up to the election, the Intelligence Community consistently assessed that Russia had neither the intent nor the capability to be able to influence or swing the election for Donald trump.
"And that's a critical statement, there, because in the assessment that President Obama ordered – and you'll again see in the documents with great detail – how he wanted an assessment that delivered intelligence that details how Moscow tried to help Trump get elected. Not if but how.
"And and then, DNI Clapper and CIA Director John Brennan delivered for President Obama, through this manufactured intelligence assessment, again, based on discredited information and shoddy intelligence that was weaponized for a very specific political purpose."
You may have noticed that I haven't been reporting on all of Tulsi's bombshell releases, either. That's because I have a lot of PTSD around this.
The same people who tried to overthrow the US Government are the same people who unleashed the Censorship Industrial Complex (which hasn't stopped), who have destroyed my business and my family relationships, who stole the 2020 election and who mandated poison shots for the entire military, all first responders and all babies – everyone – and who are still goose-stepping all over Europe and Brazil.
Finally, after a decade of this unrelenting Zombie Apocalypse, justice might finally be here but the only thing anybody wants to talk about is Jeffery Epstein. Too many fairweather MAGA brainwaves are now entrained on hating Trump, when his administration is our only ticket out of this Hellhole.
If I had run this story last week, I would have been trounced in the comments. Put your cellphones in a Faraday bag.
I love Tulsi Gabbard. She embodies the Constitution and stands for everything that is good and just about America.

YouTube is rolling out AI-powered age estimation technology in the U.S. to identify teen users and apply content restrictions and digital well-being tools, even if users lie about their age during sign-up. If the system flags a user as under 18, they may be required to verify their age using a government ID, credit card, or selfie.
Jimmy Dore & Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that this approach is opaque, potentially invasive, and gives excessive control to tech companies over user access and data. The move has raised concerns about surveillance, data privacy, and censorship under the guise of protecting minors.

https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/mike-benz-kill-every-dollar-of-funding-to-the-city-of-london/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
(This article is mostly about the "Special Relationship", but it's also about the author, Alexandra Bruce, and her struggle to get it onto the Internet in the face of ever-increasing censorship. It's a great article BTW :highfive:)
"Last February, it was inspiring to see JD Vance address members of the Munich Security Conference and take them to task for their tyrannical governance of their own people.
https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Vance-Munich.png

In April, I felt vindicated when JD Vance warned UK PM Keir Starmer, in front of live news cameras inside the Oval Office that there would be no tariff deal unless Britain stopped their censorship of the American People.
https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/propaganda-1024x576-1.jpg
DEO: “US & UK Governments at War with Americans via ‘Media Company’ Cut-Outs”
I have thrown all of myself, as a writer and publisher during the past decade into turning this tyranny around and it felt as if the needle were finally moving in the right direction but for the past couple of weeks, I’ve been having a Hell of a time. All of the censorship that I’d worked to vanquish has come roaring back.
NewsGuard harassed me two days in a row, the week before last and my website has been hit daily with DDoS attacks from African IPs and Google Cloud IPs.
https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/hacking.png
“Google Cloud IPs Attacking My Website Today” –
Then, Google canceled two of my advertising accounts and then, out of nowhere, the display on my new computer died. Then, I had a long internet outage (of only 5 in the entire service area), which is why I haven’t posted in a couple of days and then, Cloudflare told me that my account had been hacked but I can’t login with my 10-year-old computer, while my other one is in the shop.
Meanwhile, I see that other alt media companies are experiencing similar problems. CDMpress.com says they’ve been subject to increased censorship and DDoS attacks, Josh Reid says his YouTube account was deleted without warning a couple of days ago.
It feels like ‘The Empire Strikes Back’. It seems that US Big Tech is bowing to the UK’s “Tyrannical Hellhole State”, as Mike Benz calls it, here and that despite Trump’s multiple Executive Orders to end censorship and all of JDVance’s tough talk earlier this year, things are suddenly starting to get worse in terms of censorship.
But as bad as it is to be financially destroyed by Globalist censorship in a country that’s supposed to have a First Amendment and as hideously foreign and infuriating as the imposition of censorship continues to be in the US, I can be grateful that I haven’t been sentenced to prison for what I’ve written online, which is what’s happening regularly in the UK, as Nigel Farage testified on Wednesday before the House Judiciary Committee, during which he urged Washington to persuade the UK government to put an end to the clampdown on free speech.
https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Nigel-Farage.png
O: “Nigel Farage: ‘At What Point Did We Become North Korea?'”
In Parliament on the same day, Keir Starmer slammed Farage as “Unpatriotic” for his testimony before US Congress. As if this child molester gives a Flying F about patriotism! Hey, Keir: just stop censoring everybody like a Communist stooge and this will all go away!

The same administrative coup against Western Civilization is also happening on a large scale in Germany and to a lesser extent in Brazil, although in a very high-profile manner, against former President Jair Bolsonaro.
This coup is, of course ongoing stateside. The unlawful detainment of their fellow Americans was certainly planned by the Democrats before they lost power. Remember, when Hillary Clinton called for “formal de-programming” and re-education of Trump supporters on CNN?

Remember, how we just found out from Special Prosecutor Ed Martin last Friday that the Biden Regime had planned to have Jack Smith appointed to establish a DC-run judicial dictatorship, in which tens of thousands of Trump supporters would be convicted as a class, simultaneously on live TV?
Remember when they were building FEMA Camps all around Asheville, North Carolina (and all over the country and the world)?
Remember when Attorney, Bobbie Anne Cox was able to get New York’s Supreme Court to rule that Governor Kathy Hochul’s commissioning of “Quarantine Camps” in New York State were Unconstitutional – only to have that decision reversed – thus, allowing the New York Department of Health to pick and choose which New Yorkers they can lock down, without any proof of illness?
We are still only one election away from reverting back to the course that Europe is now on.
The UK now has over 30 arrests for online speech a day, based on a London Times report last April. The estimate was 12,000 people arrested for their tweets in the UK per year.
This is about 30 to 50 times more than the amount of people that get arrested in Russia for online speech, according to Mike Benz, former State Department official and founder of FFO, FoundationforFreedomOnline.com.
Mike Benz (my Power Animal) spoke to Natalie Winters at War Room on Tuesday about the arrest on Monday at Heathrow Airport of Irish comedian, Graham Linehan by five armed police officers for tweets that he’d posted while he was visiting the US, which Mikehopes will mark a Tipping Point in this battle for fundamental rights.
Linehan is not even a UK citizen! What planet is the UK government on? Would they dare arrest Americans deplaning at Heathrow for exercising their Constitutionally-protected rights in their own country?
Mike says of Linehan:
“He will surely face this Kangaroo Court in the monstrosity of the UK judicial system under these hate speech laws. So the only way that he was essentially allowed to spend his remaining days of freedom until his trial, not in a prison cell, was by agreeing not to have a social media account, not to post on X…
“This is very clearly a message from the British State that if you challenge the system in any way, however light, however comedic or satirical, there is no quarter. You will be immediately rolled-up by the police…
“They are truly the world’s new North Korea and I think the entire US-UK special relationship has to be immediately renegotiated, because this is a tyrannical hellhole state who is trying to export their censorship here.
“I have to add one more thing and I think that we discussed this last week: The British government is also fining American tech companies, American social media companies, like 4chan, for not censoring what the British State wants, while these are American websites hosted in America run by Americans.
“So this is like “No taxation without representation”, all over again! They’re trying to tax us from abroad. They’re trying to arrest people who visit the United States and make speech in the United States the moment they return back to the UK.
“I think all negotiations have to be ground to an immediate halt, until we can figure out what the Hell is going on in the UK…
“Kill every dollar of funding to the City of London. They’re big boys. They have big banks. They’ll be all right. A message has to be sent.”
Mike Benz says that the previous tariff threats had delayed the UK’s enforcement of the Online Safety Act, which he says should really be called the “Digital Censorship Act”. However now, it is currently in its second month of serious enforcement and he thinks that the greatest stumbling block, towards stopping all of this dead in its tracks is NATO:
“This gets back to the question of the US-UK ‘Special Relationship’ and what needs to be done, in order to actually grind this to a halt.
“The fact is, the British use the Americans for their war in Ukraine, for their wars in Afghanistan, for their wars in Africa. There are British mining interests, British banking interests that are completely dependent on US manpower, US muscle.
“You know, NATO itself is best conceptualized as a British operation. I mean, Lord Ismay, the first head of NATO famously quipped, ‘NATO’s purpose is to keep the Americans in, the Russians out, and the Germans down.’ That presupposes it’s a British operation to use American muscle and American money to accomplish British aims.
“Enough of this! I think that it is a mistake, frankly, for President Trump to campaign on getting all these countries to give more and more money to NATO when we’re effectively giving it to British military operations.
“I understand that there are political constraints and he needs to keep a big tent. So obviously, the President will do what the President does, but I can’t help but point out that every dollar you’re giving to NATO is going to help a British banker. That’s going to mean more Christopher Steeles running operations here, in the US.
They’re host to all of our censors in exile, the Nina Jankowicz-types.

“So they’ve all fled to these UK NGOs and are working with the UK government. We saw the Biden administration working directly with the UK foreign office and the UK digital ministry, in order to do joint US-UK censorship work. We’re way past, way too far, already!
“There has been this protected bind, this cocoon of ‘warmth’ between the US and UK, since effectively World War I, World War II. And there’s been an entangling of our intelligence networks, famously NSA and GCHQ, CIA and MI6. All these networks are hopelessly intertwined and there needs to begin to be this disentanglement, because the message has to be sent.
“If we don’t stop them from taxing our tech companies and taxing our speech and arresting people who speak here, the moment they go over there, then they’re taking more aggressive action against us than China is. Even China doesn’t think about that!”
Horrifyingly, Mike reveals that (once again!) much of the money that the UK is using to enforce this tyranny is coming from US Taxpayers!
“The Superbowl of censorship planning every year is kind of a tie between the Atlantic Council 360 Conference and the University of Cambridge Disinformation Summit.
“I cannot tell you how many USAID funds, what proportion of British NGOs and British universities are funded by US State Department and us USAID money, as well as DARPA grants and the like – we export so much of this – of these development funds to British institutions. I don’t think a single dollar should go to the University of Cambridge.
“Not a single dollar should go to the London School of Economics. Not a single dollar should go to King’s College, London. Every dollar of investment in London, in Cambridge, in frankly, the British tyrannical government-state has to be reevaluated by this State Department, by this Defense Department, by the development agencies and bureaus that still remain, until this, this entire relationship is renegotiated.
“They are punching us square in the face with these censorship laws. They are robbing American tech companies of our money. They’re robbing our social media company companies of our money. They’re robbing American taxpayers of our money, with every dollar that we invest.
“It’s time to punch back. And they need our money. They can’t win their wars without our money. They don’t get their mining deals in Eritrea or Afghanistan or Ukraine without our money.
“Let’s see: six months of them getting donuts and see what they look like at the negotiating table, after that…
“The idea that you can make a tweet in Arizona and then think that you can fly to London and everything will be fine – and you end up being hauled away by five armed guards awaiting prison, only allowed bail if you agree to never open your mouth again – this is the sort of thing that is, frankly, a major international incident and a message has to be sent.
“If you punch people on American soil, you’ll be hit by three times that force in the United States.”
Listening to Mike Benz, we get a wider perspective on the criminal Deep State racketeering that censorship is supposed to cover-up and we begin to understand the reason why Google and NewsGuard are now harassing me is because the British Online Safety act is suddenly being imposed by the #Resistance within the US bureaucracy.
All of this unlawful, foreign censorship garbage that I and all of us have endured over the past decade – THAT HAS CONFOUNDED OUR TONGUE – is because US Tech companies are bowing to the UK, which is exactly what was revealed by Tulsi Gabbard last April.
And what is the biggest “No-No”, as far as topics that will get you arrested in the UK and in Europe? The onslaught of illegal Replacement Migration, of course.
Mike tells Natalie:
“They get these very nice hotels. They give war refugees, who are serving the CIA or MI6 – they’re sending remittances back to their families, so it’s effectively USAID funding. And so the more free stuff the taxpayers give them, the more that taxpayer money ends up in remittance payments back to these shadow CIA, MI6 networks in war-torn Eritrea or Afghanistan or Sudan.
“That’s what you’ll see. The demographics are all in these CIA conflict zones. And then, this is effectively one of these bargaining chips that the foreign policy establishment has with these populations: ‘If you guys go to war for us, if you do favors for us, if you give us local protection, we’ll bring your families over.’
“And you know, none of the people making those policies live near these war refugees, are afflicted by these mass incidents of rape and sexual assault or crime. They impose them on, essentially the Lower Middle Class, and it completely destroys the towns and cities and villages they live in.
“But what happened was, effectively a judge overturned the people’s will and imposed the war refugee Hellscape on the city of Epping. And this has caused, effectively a revolt online – to the extent that it’s legal to do so.”
I’m reminded of how The Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan, owned by Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) and leased to New York City in a $220 million three-year deal, functioned as a primary processing center, handling approximately 75% of the migrants arriving in the City. Thankfully, that contract has now been canceled.
But we still have rogue judges in he US fighting the deportation of murderers, rapists – and even for keeping children in US Custody, away from their families in Guatemala!

We weren’t supposed to still be alive, at this point, let alone standing. We were supposed to have economically collapsed and succumbed to the shots and to the criminal alien invasion by now. These sick people have overthrown a lot of other countries all over the world but the US is still a lot bigger, wealthier and relatively functional, compared to what they’re used to dealing with.
The Deep State stole hundreds of billions of dollars from US Taxpayers during the Biden Regime. I wonder if that’s where NewsGuard got the money to continue their efforts to undermine me financially? That would be a direct violation of Trump’s Executive Orders, to say nothing of the US Constitution.

TRANSCRIPT
(Roll clip of Sky News broadcast)
UK British Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson: And I know people don’t like us, even a year in, as a government, saying, “This is what we inherited. This is what we inherited,” right? There was a widespread use of asylum hotels by the conservatives that increased enormously, at enormous cost to the Conservatives.
Sky News Host, Trevor Phillips: I want to ask you, your lawyers, under your guidance have said, in terms that, “The rights of asylum seekers are more important than the rights of local people in Epping Forest.” Would you, at least acknowledge that that is what they will hear? And it’s up to you. Ministers can say, “We agree with that or we don’t agree with it.” You can’t simply say, “Let’s balance things.” Do you agree with what your lawyers said or don’t you?
UK British Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson: Yes, of course we do.
CUT TO: THE WAR ROOM
Natalie Winters: Mike Benz, who joins us now. Now, Mike, before we get into what exactly that GBNews clip was discussing, I want to start with what I think might even be more insane. It’s wild.
The arrest of a comedian over “transphobic” posts. I think when we joked about that, we were called “Crazy Conspiracy Theorists”. Can you walk us through this whole incident, from start to finish?
Mike Benz: Well, this story is so insane, it may actually be a kind of Tipping Point in the Free Speech fight in Europe.
Graham Linehan is an award-winning comedy writer. He wrote Father Ted and a bunch of other sitcom series. He’s a pretty famous guy.
He took a trip to Arizona from the UK and he tweeted about three comedic tweets on X about transgender and gender issues. And when he returned to Heathrow Airport in London, he was met by five armed police officers who immediately took him effectively off the tarmac into state custody. And he is now facing prison over the tweets that he made in the US, making fun of transgender people.
His bail condition was that he’s not allowed to post on X. So the only reason that he is not remaining in custody awaiting trial where he will surely face this Kangaroo Court in the monstrosity of the UK judicial system under these hate speech laws. So the only way that he was essentially allowed to spend his remaining days of freedom until his trial, not in a prison cell, was by agreeing not to have a social media account, not to post on X.
So essentially, it falls to the rest of the world to tell Graham Linehan’s story, because the UK state is so afraid of his Twitter account that if he tweets, his bail will be revoked and he’ll be immediately in jail. So this is kind of the Worst Case Scenario come to pass.
He made these tweets while in the United States. These tweets were completely banal. They were making fun of the mental instability of many folks in the trans community with the kind of comedic “punch him in the balls” punchline to one of the tweets. This is the sort of thing – and he’s a comedian and a high profile one.
This is very clearly a message from the British State that if you challenge the system in any way, however light, however comedic or satirical, there is no quarter. You will be immediately rolled-up by the police.
The UK now has over 30 arrests for online speech a day. The estimate was 12,000 a year; people arrested for their tweets in the UK, based on a Times report from April. That is, I think, something like 30 to 50 times more than the amount of people that get arrested in Russia for online speech.
They are truly the world’s new North Korea and I think the entire US-UK special relationship has to be immediately renegotiated, because this is a tyrannical hellhole state who is trying to export their censorship here.
I have to add one more thing and I think that we discussed this last week: The British government is also fining American tech companies, American social media companies, like 4chan, for not censoring what the British State wants, while these are American websites hosted in America run by Americans.
So this is like “No taxation without representation”, all over again! They’re trying to tax us from abroad. They’re trying to arrest people who visit the United States and make speech in the United States the moment they return back to the UK.
I think all negotiations have to be ground to an immediate halt until we can figure out what the Hell is going on in the UK.
Natalie Winters: Now, if I’m not mistaken, I feel like I’ve had you on a lot of times these past few months to talk about what seemed to be the progress that the Trump administration, particularly Vice President Vance was making when it came to negotiating with the UK over a lot of the censorship stuff, not just against their own people, but like you said, more concerningly, Americans or at least speech that’s done on American soil.
So, where do we stand with all of that? Was a lot of that just performative? Or what are the forces that are sort of, you know, dragging from the pits of Censorship Hell, the UK back into what they were doing before?
Mike Benz: Well, there was some initial success with getting a delayed enforcement of their online censorship act. It’s called the “Online Harms Act”, but it’s the Digital Censorship Act.
Its implementation was delayed, because of tariff threats by the Trump administration, but it ultimately ended up going through and is being enforced now. Really, we’re kind of in month two of its very serious enforcement.
This gets back to the question of the US-UK “Special Relationship” and what needs to be done, in order to actually grind this to a halt.
The fact is, is the British use the Americans for their war in Ukraine, for their wars in Afghanistan, for their wars in Africa. There are British mining interests, British banking interests that are completely dependent on US manpower, US muscle.
You know, NATO itself is best conceptualized as a British operation. I mean, this was famously, Lord Ismay, the first head of NATO famously quipped, “NATO’s purpose is to keep the Americans in, the Russians out, and the Germans down.” That presupposes it’s a British operation to use American muscle and American money to accomplish British aims.
Enough of this! I think that it is a mistake, frankly, for President Trump to campaign on getting all these countries to give more and more money to NATO when we’re effectively giving it to British military operations.
I understand that there are political constraints and he needs to keep a big tent. So obviously, the President will do what the President does, but I can’t help but point out that every dollar you’re giving to NATO is going to help a British banker. That’s going to mean more Christopher Steeles running operations here, in the US. They’re host to all of our censors in exile, the Nina Jankowicz-types.
So they’ve all fled to these UK NGOs and are working with the UK government. We saw the Biden administration working directly with the UK foreign office and the UK digital ministry, in order to do joint US-UK censorship work. We’re way past, way too far, already!
And this, there has been this protected bind, this kind of cocoon of “warmth” between the US and UK, since effectively World War I, World War II. And there, there’s been an entangling of our intelligence networks, famously NSA and GCHQ, CIA and MI6. All these networks are hopelessly intertwined and there needs to begin to be this unentanglement, this disentanglement, because the message has to be sent.
If we don’t stop them from taxing our tech companies and taxing our speech and arresting people who speak here, the moment they go over there, then they’re taking more aggressive action against us than China is. Even China doesn’t think about that.
Natalie Winters: You talked about how the Biden regime was very involved with a lot of this. Have you seen any of these people sort of enter this back, via these NGOs that you were talking about or are still involved in this, not through the government purview, but more through the sort of, you know, private sector capacity?
Mike Benz: Absolutely. I’ll give you an example.
The Superbowl of censorship planning every year is kind of a tie between the Atlantic Council 360 Conference and the University of Cambridge Disinformation Summit.
I cannot tell you how many USAID funds, what proportion of British NGOs and British universities are funded by US State Department and us USAID money, as well as DARPA grants and the like – we export so much of this – of these development funds to British institutions. I don’t think a single dollar should go to the University of Cambridge.
Not a single dollar should go to the London School of Economics. Not a single dollar should go to King’s College, London. Every dollar of investment in London, in Cambridge, in frankly, the British tyrannical government-state has to be reevaluated by this State Department, by this Defense Department, by the development agencies and bureaus that still remain, until this, this entire relationship is renegotiated. They are punching us square in the face with these censorship laws.
They are robbing American tech companies of our money. They’re robbing our social media company companies of our money. They’re robbing American taxpayers of our money with every dollar that we invest.
It’s time to punch back and they need our money. They can’t win their wars without our money. They don’t get their mining deals in Eritrea or Afghanistan or Ukraine without our money.
Let’s see, six months of them getting donuts and see what they look like at the negotiating table after that.
(Commercial break)
Natalie Winters: Now, Mike, I want to blend this into yet another, I think, just wild Double Standard when it comes to not just the housing of refugees, but the treatment of protesters, people burning flags. I know, that’s been outlawed here in the United States, but when you juxtapose that in the UK, with what a lot of these, you know, Palestinian and Hamas demonstrators are allowed to do, it’s quite interesting and telling. Double Standard, I think. But can you walk us through what is going on in Epping with regards to the housing of migrants?
Mike Benz: Well, it’s an extraordinary story. You have this essentially, you know, a peaceful town that was essentially invaded by a – a hotel was effectively bribed with tens of millions of dollars by the British State to house migrants from Afghanistan and Eritrea and the like.
These are war-torn conflict zones. And so this peaceful little picturesque town has been completely overrun with this war refugee problem. And the people were up in arms about it.
They passed a resolution to try to get – basically, block the hotel from housing these people. And you know how this goes. They do the same thing, here in New York and San Francisco.
They get these very nice hotels. They give war refugees, who are serving the CIA or MI6 – they’re sending remittances back to their families, so it’s effectively USAID funding. And so the more free stuff the taxpayers give them, the more that taxpayer money ends up in remittance payments back to these shadow CIA, MI6 networks in war-torn Eritrea or Afghanistan or Sudan.
That’s what you’ll see. The demographics are all in these CIA conflict zones. And then, this is effectively one of these bargaining chips that the foreign policy establishment has with these populations: “If you guys go to war for us, if you do favors for us, if you give us local protection, we’ll bring your families over.”
And you know, none of the people making those policies live near these war refugees, are afflicted by these mass incidents of rape and sexual assault or crime. They impose them on, essentially the Lower Middle Class, and it completely destroys the towns and cities and villages they live in.
But what happened was, effectively a judge overturned the people’s will and imposed the war refugee Hellscape on the city of Epping. And this has caused, effectively a revolt online – to the extent that it’s legal to do so.
It’s mostly being led, frankly, by a few brave souls in the UK, combined with Elon Musk and other American-allied, like-minded folks who believe in Free Speech. And so, you’ve seen the English Flag has been trending on X.
https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/St-Georges-Cross.png
There has been a big move to support the Advance Party in the UK by Elon. This is the sort of alternative to Nigel Farage’s Reform Party. I think what Elon and Tommy Robinson and the like have been saying is that Nigel Farage is not going far enough, in sticking up for British freedom and sticking up for the British people.
There have been some reports that deputies in the Reform Party are being sacked or being told not to retweet Tommy Robinson and the like. So there’s kind of a little bit of a civil war on the populist right. And there’s now, the beginnings of a serious movement to try to put a party forward, who is neither Tory nor Labour in the UK, as both of those parties are as captured as the pre-Trump, Coke-and-Pepsi, George Bush/Bill Clinton “choice” that you had for the past 25 years in this country, before Trump.
Natalie Winters: Mike, I’m just curious, the ramifications, here in the United States. You always talk about how there’s sort of the same actors that are pushing for this. Obviously, the Biden Regime, there was more collaboration there. But what do you think the takeaway should be for us, here?
Mike Benz: Kill every dollar of funding to the City of London. They’re big boys. They have big banks. They’ll be all right. A message has to be sent.
We will know the right thing is being done from this State Department and this White House, when there’s a screaming headline about how upset the UK ambassador to the US is about the state of negotiations and the pullout of US financial investment in the British establishment and the British foreign policy realm, this has gone too far, at this point.
They are arresting people. There was always this idea that the US and UK – they are different systems – they have a monarchy over there, for what it’s worth. They don’t have a First Amendment. But there has been this big “historical bond”.
The idea that you can make a tweet in Arizona and then think that you can fly to London and everything will be fine – and you end up being hauled away by five armed guards awaiting prison, only allowed bail if you agree to never open your mouth again, this is the sort of thing that is, frankly, a major international incident and a message has to be sent.
If you punch people on American soil, you’ll be hit by three times that force in the United States.
Natalie Winters: Mike Benz, as always, thank you so much for joining us. If people want to follow you in the meantime, where can they go to do that? Follow me on x at MikeBenzCyber, also Video Archives on Rumble and YouTube. "

This, from the reliable Wall Street Apes on X (https://x.com/WallStreetApes/status/1970507754734497812). I'd be interested in input from any of our California based members who maybe haven't had the means to relocate elsewhere, whether there's been any discernible impact here:
-----------
HOLY CR*P 🚨 The day Charlie Kirk was killed and everyone was focused on that, Gavin Newsom and California Democrats rammed through an online censorship bill
PENALTIES
- If you post something on social media anywhere online that the state of California deems to be hateful, there's a penalty for that reckless violation, a civil penalty of up to $500,000.
- For an intentional, knowing or willful violation, a civil penalty of up to $1 million
“SB 771, passing the Assembly on September 10th, 10 days ago. Then on September 16th, passing the Senate completely under our noses, which means right now, all that stands between complete statewide government censorship is Gavin Newsom's signature”
“I exaggerating about how bad this bill is? No, I am not. Here is the actual bill. You can pull this up yourself on the state's website.
The Bill's called SB 771. It's called Personal Rights Liability, Social Media Platforms.
In Section 2, Title 23 of the Bill, it defines the penalties for breaking this new California law
- If you post something on social media anywhere online that the state, the State of California deems to be hateful, there's a penalty for that reckless violation, a civil penalty of up to $500,000
- For an intentional, knowing or willful violation, a civil penalty of up to $1 million.
That is the definition of the state controlling speech, folks.
— What type of speech is California trying to police here? Well, let's read from the Bill. It says, "This bill protects against online harassment, particularly when directed at historically marginalized groups."
“the State of California's actively passing UK style laws that will fine you for saying the wrong thing. Pretty wild. And this bill is completely done, folks. It's passed in the House, it's passed in the Senate. All that's left is Gavin Newsom signing it into law”

Just a heads up: if you're using Imgur (https://i.imgur.com)as an image host, know that your images won't be visible or viewable by members in the UK. Instead we see this:
56204
It would be 'desirable', therefore, if at all possible, to use an alternative host for posting images on Avalon to ensure all members can see the image or graphic in question. Many such hosts are available. My recommendation: https://vgy.me/
Tintin posted about this elsewhere. This is the general thrust:
Imgur blocks access to UK users after regulator warned of fine: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gzxv5gy3qo
Effective September 30th :facepalm:
Image-hosting platform Imgur has blocked people in the UK from accessing its content.
Imgur is used by millions to make and share images such as memes across the web, particularly on Reddit and in online forums.
But UK users trying to access Imgur on Tuesday were met with an error message saying "content not available in your region" - with Imgur content shared on other websites also no longer showing.
The UK's data watchdog, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), said it recently notified the platform's parent company, MediaLab AI, of plans to fine Imgur after probing its approach to age checks and use of children's personal data.
The BBC has approached MediaLab AI for comment.
A help article on Imgur's US website, seen by the BBC, states that "from September 30, 2025, access to Imgur from the United Kingdom is no longer available".
"UK users will not be able to log in, view content, or upload images. Imgur content embedded on third-party sites will not display for UK users."

Pavel Durov (https://x.com/durov) quote:
"I’m turning 41, but I don’t feel like celebrating. Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for us by our fathers. What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control. Once-free countries are introducing dystopian measures such as digital IDs (UK), online age checks (Australia), and mass scanning of private messages (EU). Germany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets. France is criminally investigating tech leaders who defend freedom and privacy. A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast — while we’re asleep. Our generation risks going down in history as the last one that had freedoms — and allowed them to be taken away. We’ve been fed a lie. We’ve been made to believe that the greatest fight of our generation is to destroy everything our forefathers left us: tradition, privacy, sovereignty, the free market, and free speech. By betraying the legacy of our ancestors, we’ve set ourselves on a path toward self-destruction — moral, intellectual, economic, and ultimately biological. So no, I’m not going to celebrate today. I’m running out of time. WE are running out of time".

MintPress News
David Ellison — son of Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison — is reportedly preparing a formal bid to merge Warner Bros., HBO, and CNN.
If approved, it would mark one of the largest media consolidations in recent years.
Larry Ellison, among the world’s wealthiest tech figures, has been a major donor to Israeli organizations and defense initiatives, according to public filings.
Analysts say this latest round of mergers, alongside ongoing efforts to purchase other platforms such as TikTok, reflects the growing concentration of global media power in a few hands — raising concerns about how ownership shapes editorial independence.
