Seattle Police Begin Gun Confiscations: No Laws Broken, No Warrant, No Charges
A man in Seattle has had his gun confiscated by police after breaking no laws. The police took his gun without a warrant and without pressing any charges. Tyranny has officially taken hold on American soil.
This sets a precedent that government can now forcefully take guns away from an individual without a crime being committed or an arrest being made and without a warrant. In the name of fear and political exploitation of anti-gun rhetoric, a citizen’s Second Amendment rights have been ripped away from him by the government.
The new “red flag” law, which has taken hold in other states already, allows the courts and law enforcement to take away guns from individuals they deem are dangerous and they’ve just begun the confiscation. A man living in the Belltown neighborhood of Seattle, Washington became the first individual in the state to have his firearm confiscated without any formal arrest or charges. The man was not identified by authorities.
Neighbors complained that the man had been “staring” at people through storefront windows while wearing a holstered firearm. He was not brandishing his weapon by any account, and open carrying is legal in the area, so he was abiding by the law. Other residents also complained that the man’s open carrying made them feel “uncomfortable” and “unsafe.”

“He was roaming the hallways with a .25 caliber automatic,” said Tony Montana, a man who lives in the same apartment complex as the gun owner and a person without any reasonable gun knowledge. Handguns are semi-automatic.These lousy complaints from neighbors allowed police to use the newly passed state law to confiscate the man’s firearm because the man apparently stared at others. Maybe there’s a ban on staring at others in Washington we are unaware of. Under the extreme risk protection orders — also referred to as “erpos” or “red flag laws” — police (government officials) are now allowed to violate a person’s Second and Fourth Amendment rights (which are basic fundamental human rights) and take their legally acquired personal property if they are tattled on by offended liberals.

FBI to Judge: Dismiss lawsuit before the public learns details about the jihad attack in Texas
But-for the FBI’s undercover agent effectively having “green-lighted” the attack, and offered himself to go and facilitate it, would there have been a jihad attack in Garland, Texas? If not, then Plaintiff – a security guard – would not have been shot, and suffer emotional distress.
The Judge could grant dismissal of the lawsuit. So it is pointless to ask about our alleged role in the jihad attack, says the Federal Bureau of Investigation in its own defense, through its mouthpiece, the Department of Justice.
But the FBI failed to state a court rule, statute or “good cause” to prevent all discovery, responds the Plaintiff.
This lawsuit’s allegations are detailed in a previous article on the Geller Report here.1
Arguments concern whether to immediately conduct discovery – interrogatories, requests to produce, depositions, etc. – concurrent with a pending Motion to Dismiss. The following are excerpts of the USA / FBI’s Motion 2 and Memorandum [DM/pg];3 Plaintiff’s Response [PR/pg];4 and the USA / FBI’s Reply [DR/pg].5
USA / FBI’s Motion for Relief
The Motion seeks “to relieve the parties from the reporting requirements set forth in the Court’s order dated January 16, 2018…, to abstain from entering a scheduling order, and for a stay of discovery while the United States’ motion to dismiss … is pending.”
USA / FBI’s Memorandum
“Plaintiff alleges that he was shot in the leg while working as a security guard at an event called the ‘First Annual Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest’ at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas on May 3, 2015 (‘the event’). The shooting occurred when Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi, whom Plaintiff describes as ‘two members of the international terrorist organization ISIS,’ attempted to carry out a mass-shooting at the event.”
[DM/1-2]
“[A]s a practical matter, it is especially difficult (and unnecessary) at this juncture for case management deadlines to be set, given that the parties’ briefing on the sovereign immunity issue is not yet complete and it is thus unknown when the issue will be resolved … If the motion [to dismiss] is granted, then the need for a scheduling order will no longer exist. Alternatively, if the motion is denied or granted in part, this Court’s ruling may reduce the number of claims and narrow the scope of discovery.”
[DM/4]
“Staying discovery in this action while the motion to dismiss is pending is more than simply appropriate – it is necessary to preserve the United States’ sovereign immunity.”
[DM/5]
“A stay of discovery is especially justified here given the nature of the information likely to be sought during discovery by Plaintiff. On its face, the Complaint makes clear that it challenges alleged Government conduct [the FBI] taken during the course of a national security counterterrorism investigation. As such, there is a strong likelihood that much of the information Plaintiff will seek from the FBI is classified and law enforcement sensitive information over which the Government will assert claims of privilege to prevent its disclosure. To be sure, in pending federal criminal proceedings related to the events at issue in this case, the Government continues to protect such information from disclosure.”
[DM/6-7]
The counter-terrorism investigation, particularly concerning the jihad attack here, has resulted in criminal proceedings against three defendants: (1) Erick Jamal Hendricks, who will be tried in March, 2018;6 (2) Abdul Khabir Wahid, who will be tried in May, 2018;7 and (3) Abdul Malik Abdul Kareem, who was convicted in February, 2017, but he has a pending appeal.8
Plaintiff’s Response
“The purpose of pre-dismissal discovery is to find factual support for a plaintiff’s argument that the conduct at issue is not discretionary, and thus not covered by the discretionary function exception.”
[PR/7, fn1]
“If Congress had intended for a stay on discovery to be imposed anytime Defendant raises the discretionary function exception in a motion to dismiss, then some federal rule [of court procedure] or statute would say so.” [PR/8]
“Given that no Scheduling Conference has even been held, and no discovery requests have even been sent, Defendant’s Motion to Stay is premature–as it cannot yet determine whether it will suffer ‘annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden or expense’ by proceeding as usual. If Defendant receives specific discovery requests that are oppressive or pose an undue burden to respond to–then Defendant can object to those particular requests. Defendant is also free to invoke privilege when any information requested by Plaintiff is subject to privilege. But insisting on a blanket stay of all discovery–when no good cause has been definitively demonstrated–goes too far. Defendant has not met its ‘heavy burden’ and demonstrated good cause to sidestep the general rule in favor of discovery.”
[PR/5-6]
“Even if the Court were to find some merit in Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss, Plaintiff would likely be allowed an opportunity to amend its pleadings to cure any defects.” [PR/6]
USA / FBI’s Reply
“The burden of going through the painstaking process of reviewing such materials in response to a discovery request is, quite frankly, self-evident. Placing such a burden on the FBI, which already bears a heavy workload dealing with discovery in numerous legal actions throughout the country as well as Congressional requests, is the very sort of intrusion into sovereign immunity that should be avoided until the threshold legal issues are decided.” [DR/2].
U.S. Taxpayers are owed explanations for the FBI’s alleged action or inaction
What do the majority of mass shootings have in common? All levels of government, particularly the FBI, apparently did not “connect the dots” and therefore “dropped the ball” to prevent the attacks.
Hypothetical: Entrapment is not a defense when the perpetrator was predisposed to commit the crime. However, consider: Is an undercover law enforcement officer considered a co-conspirator if his words originate the crime, and his acts contribute to the crime?
As this Complaint alleges:
“[On] (May 2, 2015), Hendricks and UCE-1 again chatted online about the upcoming Garland event. Hendricks wrote, ‘I wish someone could go to tx and harass them during the night;’ ‘a good solid protest;’ and ‘Unique one man protest.’ After Hendricks explained that he was unable to go because he was on the no-fly list and it was ‘too much driving,’ UCE-1 then volunteered to go. UCE-1 then asked, ‘Just me or any other brothers?’ Hendricks responded, ‘See what you and bro [Simpson] can do,’ and added that Simpson ‘has another brother he knows’ (presumably Soofi). Hendricks then provided ICE-1 with Simpson’s alternate Twitter contact.” [Complaint ¶ 34].
Assume the above is true and consider: But-for the FBI’s undercover agent effectively having “green-lighted” the attack, and offered himself to go and facilitate it, would there have been a jihad attack in Garland, Texas? If not, then Plaintiff – a security guard – would not have been shot, and suffer emotional distress.
President Obama did more than seek to protect Islam as a minority religion in the United States. His words and deeds advocated for, and promoted, Islam.
The Department of Justice, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, are under the Executive branch. The FBI ostensibly has provided briefings to the President. Using every scandal’s inquiry: What did President Obama know, and when did he know it?

A Man Has SURVIVED A Hillary Assassination Attempt And Is Ready To Take Her Down...
There have been a lot of people in the recent decades that simply cannot survive a case of Clintonitis. As you all may know that is one of those illnesses that almost always results in the afflicted individual dying under mysterious circumstances.
FBI informant,Willam Campbell, with dirt on the Clinton’s has gone into hiding after an attempt was made on his life.
William Campbell has been an FBI informant for the past five years, tasked with the assignment of gathering any and all intel relating to the Russian governments attempts to gain atomic energy from the US.
When news first broke that the Clinton Foundation was involved in Russian bribery during the sale of American uranium to a Russian company known as Uranium One, it was done so under anonymity from the source which lead to the liberal defense that an anonymous source has no value.
Well that source is no longer anonymous as Willam Campbell has confessed to being the FBI informant who originally declared anonymity and his testimony was due to be delivered in front of Congress today but in true Clinton fashion another witness to their criminal activity has been forced into hiding after being ambushed by an armed assailant while hiking in the wooded area near his residence.
It was reported by Reuters.com that a Russian insider named William Campbell was due to testify in front of a Senate committee on Monday that Hillary Clinton took bribes during the uranium scandal.
Campbell has now gone into hiding after telling close friends that he had already survived one attempt on his life. It has been warned by legal analysts that Campbell’s testimony on the Clintons could potentially put Hillary Clinton in jail for “twelve plus years.” Campbell has grown more and more concerned that he will not make it to the hearing at all.
The Russian insider warned that he “already survived one attempt” on his life “since it was made public by the Sessions DOJ that I intend to testify.” Campbell has claimed that if he hadn’t been carrying his own firearm, he would have been killed during a hike in the hills behind his home.
He stated that he was approached by an armed man in the woods. He went on to explain that he drew his own weapon and held it where the man could see it until he disappeared out of sight.

* #Q @QAnon – 6 attempts on President Trump’s life – U.S. under Martial Law
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” – Ephesians 6:12
By Capt. Dave Bertrand, Ret.
A MUST HEAR!
MANY QUESTIONS ANSWERED!
The Florida School Shooting is still the BIG diversion from the investigations beginning to effectively put Obama and Hillary Clinton in GITMO.
President Trump continues to strategize a war game against the Cabal with his Generals, since the “National Emergency / Executive Order” allows for future military tribunals for the many high level bureaucrats, including Obama and Hillary Clinton, to face charges of Sedition and Treason against the United States. This is, in-fact, happening according to Dr. Jerome Corsi of whom has high level military contacts in Washington D.C.
President Trump has ordered through AG Jeff Session up to (now) 13,000 Sealed Indictments with the intent, under the emergency order, to seize property and bank accounts of those involved with child trafficking and money laundering including acts of Sedition and Treason.
For those believing that justice MUST be administered NOW, is like arresting the number one drug cartel kingpin while the rats below him scatter around the world.
The rats have to be rounded-up first in-order to build a solid case against the top players we have grown to despise. Furthermore, President Trump KNOWS the top cats under investigation would walk free if they are adjudicated on U.S. soil by “Deep State” prosecutors, lawyers, and judges.
Therefore Trump enacted the “Emergency Order” to directly involve Military Intelligence, which also has authority (under the Emergency order) to override the CIA and FBI under direction of President Trump.
The other reason to involve Military Intelligence, is for Trump’s immediate safety, since (unknown to the public) has already experienced at least two attempts on his life.
President Trump is surrounded by the military and we are learning that Trump was specifically asked to run for the presidency, well before the campaign, because a large segment of the military knew or knows exactly the direction the Socialist/Communist and “Deep State” want(ed) to take America.
For Trump to act now and allow the military to begin the arrests on U.S. soil would cause the “Deep State” to launch a full blown Civil War with more False Flag school shootings and other egregious acts of domestic violence in-order to cause condemnation and discontent for this president while at the same time would put Congress into a frenzy with immediate accusations of a dictatorship in-action, and would use CNN/CIA and other fakestream media sources to push a narrative of bad vs good in favor of a Socialist/Communist agenda.
Therefore the build-up to military action to be somewhat acceptable to the American public requires a steadfast approach of truth, exposure of lies and exposing false flags, and at the same time prepare for Civil War in America.
The timing is a crucial strategy by the Trump Administration, while mid-term elections are only 8 months away, false flags are increasing as a diversion, Mueller’s investigation will continue, and more importantly the “Deep State’s” attempt to remove high powered “assault” rifles from legal gun owners as a Civil War is just around the corner is the NUMBER ONE priority at this point. Weaponizing students across this nation with the help of CNN/CIA, the momentum is increasing, forcing Trump’s hand to a certain extent without completely banning assault rifles.
President Trump knows what the “Deep State” is doing, for one…he is 100% briefed by the NSA, bypassing the rogue CIA, (allowed under the Emergency order) but he cannot say publicly that he knows the Parkland Florida shooting was conducted specifically for three reasons to discredit the NRA, organize a student rebellion, and to cause a diversion for the upcoming Uranium One and Comey/Clinton investigations by Nunes. Reason being most of the public are completely brainwashed by the Dems and fakestream media, and together would force a narrative of impeachment to new heights, however…we know for a fact, Trump ordered military “Special Forces” to investigate the Parkland Shooting (false flag).
The balance to effectively begin the take-down of the “Deep State” and all the cronies involved has to be done with consideration to how and when a Civil War of violence in the streets begins. Before the mid-terms or after the mid-term elections? I would venture to say, after the mid-term elections is when Trump and the military will begin to open the remaining Sealed Indictments, most likely during the height of winter in 2019.
In the meanwhile though many of the Sealed Indictments (mostly involving child trafficking and pedophilia) is underway around the world. I know of one personally, thanks to Amanda for the docs, of a Sealed Indictment recently opened. The individual is facing 30 years in prison. The FBI stated this particular indictment is in-fact part of the 13,000.
On another front the “top cats” of the Obama/Hillary type(s) are seeking-out refuge in New Zealand, among several other high profile types. The Obama’s are heading to New Zealand on or about March 21st to look at properties and Hillary will be there in May. New Zealand has an Extradition Treaty with the U.S., therefore I believe the plan is for these criminals to use their illegal funds to buy-up property that (maybe) cannot be seized, especially if their names are not on the deeds.
We also know that George W. Bush and his family bought 300,000 acres of prime land in Paraguay a few years ago, for what reason??? “War criminals” as they are, both H.W. and G.W. were planning far ahead as Obama did by purchasing a $4.9 million dollar estate in Dubai. For what reason???
They’re planning their escapes and maybe Trump is allowing their escape, because out-of-sight and out-of-mind is better for America. Maybe it’s also a backroom agreement between the Cabal and Trump, and maybe it can divert a massive Civil War.
As we (together) spread truth to the world, and to influential contacts we all have, the “Deep State” have taken an interest in what (WE) are doing and saying. There are two incredible YouTuber’s (Jason and Isaac) now taking a major hit by YouTube, Google and Twitter, as is Infowars. Since posting both Isaac and Jason’s videos here on the BDR and later published by ConPats and Beforeitsnews.com, we effectively increased their viewership by the thousands thanks to all of you. And as a result, the BDR has been censored when publishing certain “Featured Videos” including FoxNews Hannity, citing copyright infringement. NO. It’s violating our 1st Amendment Rights.

Russia Rescues Millions Of American Democrats Unable To Save Themselves As New England Region Warned Faces Coming Blackouts Due To Stupidity
A stupefying new Ministry of Industry and Trade (MIT) report circulating in the Kremlin today reveals that for the second time this year, emergency supplies of Russian natural gas had to be shipped to the American region of New England whose nearly 15 million over whelmingly Democra
According to this report, with the hate campaign aimed at Russia by the Democratic Party ('leaders') due to the election of President Donald Trump having caused a firestorm of anti-Russian war mongering leading to the official establishment of a new Cold War, the Ministry of Industry and Trade was gobsmacked a number of weeks ago when it was approached by The Franco-Russian Chamber Of Commerce And Industry who had prepared a scheme to rescue millions of American citizens nearing cut-off of their heating and electrical supplies in New England. (The cutoff should NEVER be happening, not with all the natural resources available throughout this nation AND WITH THE ABILITY FOR EVERY AMERICAN TO ENJOY INDIVIDUAL FREE ENERGY FOR THEIR HOMES AND BUSINESSES, WHICH HAS OF COURSE BEEN WITHHELD FROM THEM SO THE ENERGY COMPANIES CAN CONTINUE TO EXTORT VAST SUMS OF MONEY FROM THE AMERICANS.)
The French scheme to rescue the peoples of New England involved shipping to Boston, Massachusetts, massive tankers of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the Russian owned Yamal LNG plant in Dunkirk, France whose natural gas supplies come from the Yamalo-Nenets District in the Russian Arctic that is currently under illegal US sanctions but with French energy giant total owning 20% of this project engaging the LNG tankers Provalys and Gaselys (
With the United States being awash in natural gas to such an extent that it became for the first time in history last year an exporter of this vital energy resource, and whose projections show its soon becoming one of the largest producers of natural gas in the world, MIT analysts were left perplexed as to why New England even needed these emergency supplies of Russian liquefied natural gas (NO KIDDING!) before its cities went dark and its peoples began to freeze. (GREAT question. One has to wonder WHY the Democrats and the Russians continue to surface as being connected! NOT the Republicans but the DEMOCRATS! In this situation it appears that the Russians are trying to HELP US!)
Upon an in-depth examination of this crisis, its origins were discovered to have been started in late 2012 when the Democratic Party Governor of Connecticut, Dannel Malloy, announced a plan to meet more of his State’s heating and energy needs with natural gas and whose “new” energy strategy was quickly forced upon the peoples of the other New England States of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and R
Modeled after the infamous 5-Year-Plans devised by the Communists whose effects led to the economic implosion and collapse of the Soviet Union the Democratic Party 'leaders' ruling New England forced upon their millions of citizens a utopian dream of eliminating their long effective oil and coal plant electrical plant distribution system in favor of those powered by the much more environmentally friendly natural gas but with their forgetting the most basic fact that this region had absolutely no access it.
In the past New England could count on natural gas pipelines from Nova Scotia to supply much of its gas, but those Canadian sources are beginning to run dry and are now unable to provide a long, or even medium-term solution for them and who are also unable to use the massive amounts of natural gas being produced in their own country because no liquefied natural gas cargoes can be sent from the Gulf of Mexico to New England due to a century-old US law called The Jones Act that stipulates that goods shipped between US ports must be transported on ships that are built, owned, operated and flagged by the United States with not a single tanker out of the world’s nearly 500-strong fleet currently meeting this requirement.
(There are some VERY REAL PROBLEMS in this nation, among them being the obvious refusal of the rogue communist 'government' to provide any natural resources for our energy needs and to get the nation off the vulnerable power grids. The power companies have FULL CONTROL and are REAPING FULL FINANCIAL PROFITS at the expense of the American population. VERY POOR PLANNING. HOW MUCH payola is being paid to the ones responsible for this poor decision continuing with no natural resources power allowed and especially NO FREE POWER?)
Realizing much too late that their Communist-inspired 5-
With ISO New England having just issued a grave warning that without new natural gas pipelines this entire region will begin to experience rolling blackouts as soon as 2024, New England’s Democratic party leaders have gone from just being stupid to being outright insane and, as evidenced by wind power proposals now surpassing those of natural gas to solve this regions crisis and all of whom, most certainly, should heed the words of warning issued by President Putin to anyone seeking to follow Communist examples, and who said: “Whoever does not miss the Soviet Union has no heart. Whoever wants it back has no brain.”
Sorcha Faal
What is it about the 'leaders' - especially 'DemocRAT' - both congressional and militarily - of this nation that has them all so attracted to the FAILED COMMUNIST mentality, so much so that they have run this nation deep in to the ground putting business, industry, the military and quality of life for the American population years behind. Even with the efforts by the Trump administration, the white hats and the 'good military' efforts to undo all the damage done, the continued deep state Nazi efforts to steal, kill and destroy this nation and to move forward will take years to achieve.
Breakthrough: North Korea Ready To Denuclearize "If Regime Safety Is Guaranteed"
Score
another diplomatic victory for Trump, whose hard line negotiating
tactic appears to have generated a dramatic - and favorable for market -
outcome. Moments ago futures spiked, 10Y yields jumped and the USDJPY
bounced about 106 on what the FT dubbed a "diplomatic breakthrough" that
North and South Korea have agreed to hold direct talks between their
leaders with North Korea signalling it is willing to abandon its nuclear program "if regime security can be guaranteed."
The easing of tensions between the two Koreas and this clearly positive geopolitical development has triggered a broad based risk-on move. Fixed income is selling off sharply here, with Bunds flying. As the spot KRW market is closed, the NDF space is in focus. The 1m NDF has traded from 1076.0 to 1070.8 at time of print. USDJPY is spiking higher at 106.10 at print. This move may have legs especially as early NY begins to come in
The question now is whether this unexpected diplomatic victory for Trump will further empower him to demand similar concessions on the trade side, and launch the "trade wars", even as the market is now fully convinced that the US president will backtrack.

Thousands To Gun Shows Across Nation
Gun Debate Drives Thousands To Gun Shows Across Nation
Gun grabbers don’t want people being able to buy guns, and following the massacre at a Parkland, Florida school last month, there’s a feeling running through the country that the grabbers are gaining ground. It’s a feeling that we all know far too well. We had it for eight years under the Obama administration, but we thought we were clear of it with the defeat of Hillary Clinton in 2016.Unfortunately, following the deadly attack, the anti-gun left has been on an attack of their own. They are tenacious in their quest to limit our ability to keep and bear arms.
However, because of that, many people are looking to buy guns for the very first time, and that means they’re swarming gun shows like this one in North Dakota.
One of the events contributing to the big boost in the Northern Valley is the Guns Show in Grand Forks.
As the gun debate continues across the country, local firearm salesmen say more people are buying weapons.
Thousands of people came through the Dakota Territory Gun Show in Grand Forks looking to buy all things guns-related.
“From old Sharps, old Colts, and Winchesters to modern rifles,” said Michele Voegele, Gun Show Vendor.
There is something here for every gun collector, behind the passion of every enthusiast is a little bit of concern for the future of the sport.
“I don’t think anybody is freaking out or worried that all their guns are going to be taken away completely,” said Voegele, “I think a lot of people get worried because there is a lot of misinformed people out there.”
Which is normal.While larger retailers like Dick’s Sporting Goods and Walmart are changing their policies for gun sales, recent debate on the topic is actually having a positive impact on retailers here.
That’s something the gun grabbers have never really comprehended. Every time they try to ramp up the pressure on the gun industry, the gun industry makes a killing.
What tends to happen is that people who are on the fence about wanting a gun, people who see gun ownership as a “one of these days” things, see what the anti-gun zealots are doing and figure that “one of these days” had better be right now or they might never be able to buy one. As a result, they swarm gun stores and shows looking to pick up something.
The gun control activists actually create more gun owners.
Talk about your all-time backfires. Whoops!
What the gun control crowd doesn’t grasp, however, is that most people understand that their wish list of gun control items will negatively impact the law-abiding citizen. Even people who somehow labor under the delusion that gun control will stop criminals tend to understand that it will also hurt the law-abiding individual’s ability to buy a firearm.
That’s why they swarm at times like these. They want their guns, and they figure they’ll be restricted from buying them later on.
I swear, sometimes I’m left to wonder if the anti-gun movement is really just a plot to sell more guns by the firearm industry. If so, it’s working.

Guns: Thanks are in order for the liberals
ONE LOW KEY WAY CONSERVATIVES STICK IT TO GUN GRABBERS
Conservatives do not protest naturally. They work for a living, and have better ways to spend their time, which is why the Tea Party movement was so remarkable.
Instead, conservatives act in other ways rather than just emoting publicly for all to see.
In the case of gun control, conservatives out source their protest to a favorite ally: the National Rifle Association (NRA).
Instead, conservatives act in other ways rather than just emoting publicly for all to see.
In the case of gun control, conservatives out source their protest to a favorite ally: the National Rifle Association (NRA).
According to the Daily Mail: "Google searches for 'NRA membership' have risen roughly 4,900 per cent since the week before the February 14 shooting, with new members flocking to support the gun owners' rights group."
To put that in graphical terms, you can see the massive spike in this image from Google.
It seems that the sickening display put on by CNN after the Parkland shooting had the opposite intended effect, as the "town hall" was supposed to manipulate your emotions against the Second Amendment, yet catalyzed support for their biggest advocates.

The war against the free speech of the right
Last week I made a brief appearance on a TV news show out of New York. The subject was censorship on Twitter.
GrrrGraphics lost 2,000 in the sudden and silly ‘Russian bot purge,’ but we gained most of them back (and more) by the next day. We knew people who were banned for no particular reason other than their connections to conservative leaders on social media.
Tweeting pro-Trump messages is intrinsic proof of Russian bots, right? Hillary thinks it is. Such anti-Russia hysteria also diverts attention away from her crimes.
We are one of the few to obtain the coveted blue check mark on Twitter. There was a young man on the news show presumably there for ideological balance. He casually stated that the blue check marks were nothing but status symbols—bragging rights that have little meaning. I was taken aback by his statement, but was unable to summon up the proper reply. After all, public speaking is not my forté. I’d rather draw cartoons.
As in all my public appearances, I always think of what I ‘should’ have said later on. In this case the blue check mark performs a valuable purpose. That is, it announces to the world that the account belongs to a real person with a real name and face and whatever gets tweeted out is not from some anonymous troll or Russian ‘bot.’ In other words, it’s free speech combined with responsibility and accountability.
Apparently Twitter doesn’t want that. They should be verifying a lot more identities and giving out even more check marks, but they instead stopped giving them out altogether late last year. Why? Because they know more commotion and consternation results when verified people get their plugs pulled for a trifling reason.
It happened in the case of the blue-checked Milo Yiannopoulos. It’s easier for Twitter to delete check-less, conservative voices while dismissing them as trolls or Russian bots.
Hillary said the Internet needed an ‘editor.’ What she really wants is Chinese-style censorship—with globalists like her in charge. She already acted as a censor when she was able to paint a harmless cartoon frog into a symbol of racist hate. She’d still enjoy shutting up anyone she considers ‘deplorable.’
We know that the Shadow Government and Deep State are losing the battle of ideas. They no longer have a monopoly on controlling opinion. Their mainstream corporate media puppets are no longer mainstream. They’ve become irrelevant jokes. They’re losing viewers because they continually spew lies instead of the truth and more and more people have awakened to that fact. They know they can find the truth from citizen journalists on the Internet who make little if any money for their dedication. They depend on views and donations, but they’re now facing demonetization and shadow banning. Supposedly it’s all based on a terms of use policies—and the owners of social media capriciously determine the meaning of their own policies.
The war against the free speech of the right is likely to end badly for the Silicon Valley lefties who would rather delete than allow debate. Their habit of virtual book burning may end up torching their own skirts. They will wind up losing a vast amount of subscribers, viewers and advertisers. They will encourage entrepreneurs to set up their own free speech playing fields on the Internet. We don’t need government to step in—we need competition!
