This is a good example of an authoritarian abuse of speech and language. A powerful person (who spent $150 mil on PR), “reasons” falsely on national TV, thus defining the narrative that is soon to follow. A narrative like this is a story that defines how we speak and what we are allowed to say. Fauci and many others did what Gates is doing in this video. These public statements define the conversation and even many of the vocabulary words that will be used to bracket it—antivaxxer, covidiots, “The Science”, conspiracy theory, etc. Masking is an extension of language or a semiotic that signals obeisance to the narrative. For people within a culture to communicate they must have rules for speech and what words means. Properly, those rules and definitions in Western society are established through transparent, open, uncensored speech and reasoning based on evidence. During covid, it was the alternative medical and scientific views that carried on our proper tradition, while people like Gates and Fauci were hijacking it for their own perverse interests. ABN
I’m going to skip noting that Elon Musk Twitter is essentially unchanged, regarding the relationship between Twitter, the Dept of Homeland Security and the disinformation police, as many keep saying Musk Twitter has not had time to reformat.
That said, five days after our post-election review of the difference between ballots and votes, and within minutes of the controversial Arizona governor contest being announced by DHS media outlets, suddenly any discussion about “Ballots -vs- Votes” is considered a risk to democracy. [LINK}
The need for control is a reaction to fear.
Twitter specifically, and Big Tech writ large, has now placed a warning on the CTH article where we draw attention to the general difference between ballots and votes. The timing of the intervention, as related to the content discussed, is transparent. Sunlight is a great disinfectant and must be controlled at all costs.
Corporations and special interest groups write legislation. Lobbyists sell the legislation to politicians who eventually vote on it.
At every step of the process lobbyists pay for expensive lunches, dinners, trips, event tickets and more to leverage successful outcomes. The amount of money spent is proportional to the benefit derived from the outcome.
The important part to remember is that:
Congress does not write laws or legislation; special interest groups do. Lobbyists are paid, some very well, to get politicians to do what they want them to do.
When you are voting for a Congressional Rep or a US Senator you are not voting for a person who will write laws. Your rep only votes on legislation to approve or disapprove of laws that are written by outside groups and sold to them through lobbyists who work for those outside groups.
While all of this is happening the same outside groups who write the laws are providing money for the campaigns of the politicians they need to pass them. This construct sets up the quid-pro-quo of influence, although much of it is fraught with plausible deniability.
Slightly edited with permission from the author. This legislative process explains why an entity like FTX would donate $2.5 million to the Senate Leadership Fund. By doing so they are benefiting themselves and also supporting a UniParty agenda—which they are a party to—of total usurpation of all US political and military power. Their ultimate goal is world domination. This is an example of the marriage of corporations to government. We can see similar patterns in how Big Pharma and Big Government worked together to devastate Western civilization first with covid, then their response to covid; all the while purposively aggrandizing more and more power to themselves. If this process is difficult to understand, pause for a moment and consider their goal. The ultimate prize is world domination, control of all money, all power, and all people on planet earth. Consider also that this game of conquest is as old as human history. All that is new about it today are the techniques of mind-control and the technologies of both psychological and kinetic warfare. FTX and NPR are weapons as potent as HIMARS or synthetic viruses. ABN
The Senate Leadership Fund is the Political Action Committee (PAC) controlled by Mitch McConnell. Within the quarterly FEC filings of the Senate Leadership Fund, we discover that in addition to funding Joe Biden and Democrats, the ponzi scheme known as the FTX cryptocurrency exchange was also funding Mitch McConnell with $2.5 million.

There is a lot of speculation about U.S. taxpayer funds going to Ukraine, then transferring into the FTX crypto exchange program, then exiting back out with FTX donations to the DC politicians who provided the Ukraine funds. If this ends up being accurate, then the FTX crypto currency operation was being used as a laundry system to funnel money from congress through Ukraine and back into the pockets of politicians.
Do not look for DC politicians to investigate or expose themselves in this potential laundry operation.
The Internal Revenue Service saw its take from taxpayers rise over 19% last year and its enforcement budget boosted by 919%.
Making good to fatten up the tax collection agency’s enforcement team that targets taxpayers, a new audit said that appropriations from the Democratically controlled Congress jumped from $5 billion to $51 billion. When “operations support” was added in, the total was $80 billion, said the just-released review.
The Government Accountability Office also found that the agency collected far more from taxpayers in the just-ended fiscal year than the year before. It took $4.3 trillion, up from $3.5 trillion. Individual taxpayers funded 88% of the total collected last fiscal year.
On Thursday, President Joe Biden signaled that he planned to nominate Danny Werfel, a former acting IRS commissioner who served during the Obama administration, to head the agency.
At this point in history, anyone who is claiming the U.S. Government is not directly coordinating with social media platforms to shape opinion and cull information adverse to their interests, is being intellectually dishonest. There is simply too much evidence of the intelligence apparatus, specifically the Dept of Homeland Security, being enmeshed with the platforms of Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Google and Microsoft.
The DHS justifications for the relationship all involve claims of ‘national security’ and domestic terror threats. However, the simple and transparent motivations of the relationship are all political. The DHS terms of “disinformation, misinformation and malinformation” are simply excuses for the platforms to adhere to the demands of the government and censor or remove discussion that is against the interests of those in power. The truth of this is in the sunlight now.
That said, the relationship between the intelligence community and social media is one of mutual benefit. DHS gets to conduct surveillance and control permitted speech in the public square, and in return Big Tech gets assurances of their ability to continue monopolistic enterprise and simultaneously receive subsidies on operational costs. The legislative branch allows this synergy without oversight because the legislative branch is in alignment with the larger ‘national security’ ruse.
Last month, U.S. News & World Report gave readers the encouraging news that vaccine failures, in the form of so-called breakthrough infections, were actually a reason (for those who survived them) to celebrate added protection from subsequent infection.
This week, CNN — reporting on a study published last week in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Network Open — reassured us that the worse you feel after receiving a COVID-19 mRNA injection, the better your protection.
As outlined below, the authors of the study make unfounded claims and raise more questions than answers.
Dr. Peter McCullough, one of the most respected doctors in the world, has been a beacon of light throughout this pandemic. His reward for speaking the truth? He’s being stripped of his credentials.
I got this message from him this morning:
I was terminated as the Editor-In-Chief of Cardiorenal Medicine and Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine after years of service and rising impact factors. There was no phone call, no board meeting, no due process. Just e-mails or certified letters. Powerful dark forces are working in academic medicine to expunge any resistance to the vax.
Yesterday I was stripped of my board certifications in Internal Medicine and Cardiology after decades of perfect clinical performance, board scores, and hundreds of peer reviewed publications.
None of this will stop until there is a “needle in every arm.”
‘It’s a Fraud’: Dr. Harvey Risch reveals that the suppression of Hydroxychloroquine under the false pretense that it's genotoxic was one of the biggest lies we've been told.
This “led to hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths.”
When the cure is worse than the disease and cures that cure the disease are banned, yes banned, not allowed, doctors won’t prescribe them and pharmacies won’t dispense them, then you must conclude that at some high-level the real bioweapon was and is our response to the virus and not the virus itself.

Earlier this month, the European Union approved legislation aimed at regulating social media platforms: the Digital Services Act. The law will take effect in 2024, in time for the next U.S. presidential elections, and promises big shifts in how online speech is refereed not just in Europe, but also here at home. The law, among other requirements, places substantial content moderation expectations on large social media firms—many based in the U.S.—which include limiting false information, hate speech, and extremism.
It’s not clear how social media firms will adapt to the law, but the fines they will face for failing to comply will be massive. Firms can be fined up to six percent of their annual revenue—that’s $11 billion for Google and $7 billion for Meta. Essentially, the EU has created a significant new legal incentive for firms to regulate expression on their platforms.
The law, while written to protect EU residents, will almost certainly lead social media firms to change their moderation policies worldwide. Thus, with the DSA, the EU will effectively be doing what the First Amendment ostensibly prohibits our own government from doing: regulating the editorial judgments made by social media platforms on which Americans communicate with each other.
