Never before in history have so many begun to realise that are they under the control of so few. The very foundations of what all they grew up believing are being shaken with each new revelation of how so many aspects of their very identify have been shaken, and how social media has become the gatekeeper of what it means to be human – going beyond freedom of speech to “freedom” of thought itself.

As Caitlin Johnstone writes, the real reason why many of us don’t live in a free society is so very- very much more pervasive than that … “we don’t live in a free society because people can’t even think freely” as they think “they already have it!””
But all that is changing!
Values and Rules
The purported “self-righteous” apparently want to dictate to us all the values and rules by which we are supposed to live, on the grounds that they are the role models: morally demanding and self-righteous, they dictate not only the rules but how we must think towards Russia and China.
You can’t get any stupider than that, but let’s not underestimate the ignorance of reality of our moralising “self-righteous” in politics, the media and on Facebook. For them vaccination is an act of “solidarity”…just like war missions – the main thing is “Values”. Unfortunately, it is taking far too long for “leftists” to realise that this is no longer just about public health, but democracy, fundamental rights and the rule of law.
Justice is still in hibernation, a complete failure. Why do we need such things as fundamental rights and international law, when we have our good, incontestable “Values”, i.e., Community Standards, and our quality media, which watch over and decide with their attitude and campaign and agenda based on hired gun journalism?
These self-righteous pseudo-leftists assign themselves as co-executors of the Corona State of Emergency and a totalitarian democracy of the (neo-) liberal mainstream! And then they present us with documentaries, such as Georgia’s future hangs on the outcome of the war in Ukraine, from the few apparently independent media outlets that claim that some Putin supporters might be sneaking in along with all the Russians who don’t want to be drafted into the special military operation in Ukraine.
They even have an AI site that can think for us, and write for us too, as journalists are no longer needed. For instance, my son sent me this: “I’m telling you this AI thing is neat. I had it write a dramatic dialogue between George Bush and George Washington.”
I gave it the instruction to write a dialogue between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. I gave it the prompt that Trump should proclaim that he’s the real president and that Biden should be in a nursing home.
It wrote this:
Donald Trump: I’m the real president of the United States! You, Joe Biden, should be in a nursing home.
Joe Biden: I’m sorry, Mr. Trump, but you are mistaken. I am the president of the United States, and you are not.
Trump: That’s fake news! I won the election, and you cheated to steal it from me.
Biden: I’m sorry, Mr. Trump, but that’s simply not true. The election was fair and accurate, and I was declared the winner.
Trump: Well, I’ll just have to prove it in court then. I’ll sue you and the entire Democratic Party for election fraud.
Biden: I’m sorry, Mr. Trump, but I don’t think that’s going to work. The courts have already heard your claims and have found them to be baseless. It’s time for you to accept the results of the election and move on.
Trump: Fine, I’ll just keep fighting then. I’ll never give up, and I’ll never admit defeat. I’m the real president, and you’re just a fake one
Biden: I’m sorry, Mr. Trump, but that’s just not reality. I am the president, and you need to accept that. Let’s work together for the good of the American people, rather than fighting and causing further division.”
Soon out of a job!
I was impressed, as this means there is no need for journalists anymore. Anyone observing events in the US since the last election, and the two characters concerned, could have written the same script and everyone would know who was talking to who.
This confirms that all along AI has been writing my articles, as per claims made by Ukrainian fact-checking sites. Of course, we must trust the fact-checkers and their knowledge of ever-changing community standards and fake news—and fake journalists too.
If the media is not bad enough, social media is the same. Elon Musk described in a Tweet how “Under pressure from hundreds of activist employees Twitter de-platforms Trump, a sitting US President, even though them themselves acknowledge that he didn’t violate the rules.”
The problem is, everyone wants to believe each influencer tells either total lies or total truth. Nobody is 100% either/or. You have to figure out what their underlying motives are.
It is clear now that Alex Jones’ “Inforwar” motives are purely self-serving—but so what? He does get many things right, InfoWars, A War on your Mind!
If telling the truth serves him on a given day, on that day he may be telling the truth. But if a false account or fictional story needs to be told the next day to serve his ends …that is what happens on that day; it is not 100% one way all the time.
Critical thinking is what people need to learn the most. Tucker Carlson, of Fox News, is also self-serving. Actually everyone is – it is a matter of degree. Jones merely has an extra helping of self-serving motives, and stands in a field by himself.
Twitter Files shames the Pentagon Papers
The Twitter Files shames the Pentagon Papers in showing collusion at the highest levels – and “how unelected people are able to determine the outcome of elections and exert so much power on democracy in the name of democracy.”
Trump may have been loudmouth, crude, and much of what he said was abrasive and lacked any semblance of being “woke, i.e., politically correct”, but he did not violate any Twitter terms of service, which includes the catchall term “community standards.”
