A massacre within a massacre: How journalists reporting on Gaza deaths are being targeted

from RT:

Over 160 media workers have been killed and 60 detained as the methodical destruction of the brutalized Strip continues

In spite of experiencing two Israeli wars on Gaza, I never imagined the horrific scenes coming out of northern Gaza now: Israel is exterminating the population in broad daylight, broadcast for all the world to see.

And no one is doing a damn thing to stop it.

Israel has besieged northern Gaza for weekspreventing most humanitarian aid from entering, putting the population of 400,000 already starving Palestinian civilians in the north at severe risk of full starvation. The Israeli parliament has voted to ban UNRWA, the United Nations agency for humanitarian aid, which has been the sole lifeline for many Palestinians.

Compulsory Speech

by Lew Rockwell, Lew Rockwell:

In recent years, a disturbing development has taken place in America’s universities. People who apply for faculty positions, and those who are on the faculty and want to be promoted are required to make “diversity statements,” in which they declare their commitment to DEI—diversity, equality, inclusion—and detail their activities on behalf of this goal.

Here is an example of this: at UCLA, applicants to the faculty have to sign this: “Diversity statements usually are no more than two pages and speak to your experience, capabilities, and commitment to working with people from different backgrounds and to advancing a more inclusive, diverse and/or equitable academic environment.

Kamala’s Secret Weapon: The British Operatives Determined to “Kill” Elon Musk’s Free Speech Platform X

by Christina Maas, Reclaim The Net:

Amid the chaos of pre-election America, major information has surfaced, revealing internal documents from the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH). This UK-based group, which was founded by British political strategist Morgan McSweeney under the name Brixton Endeavours Limited before being renamed to the Center for Countering Digital Hate in 2019, outlined a clear goal in their agenda: “Kill Musk’s Twitter.” The documents make it clear that the CCDH is targeting Elon Musk’s social media platform with full force. McSweeney, who helped guide Keir Starmer to victory in the UK, is now involved in US politics, advising Kamala Harris as she navigates the upcoming election, raising serious questions about the CCDH’s reach and motives.

Brazil’s War on Free Speech

by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:

Brazil’s Supreme Court lifted the ban on X, formerly known as Twitter, after the platform paid out $5.2 million in fines for spreading disinformation. Brazil’s sudden ban on the social media platform should act as a warning to the rest of the world that governments are prepared and ready to silence the freedom of speech without a second’s notice.

FEMA Says “Disinformation” is a Problem – What Disinformation? The Disinformation About the Information…

from The Conservative Treehouse:

This is a little bit unusual, and I don’t generally recommend going to a bizarro leftist narrative article for full review; however, in this case it is worth it.

Politico has written an article about FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell, saying disinformation about the federal government response to Hurricane Helene, “is absolutely the worst I have ever seen,” Criswell told reporters on a Tuesday morning call.  “It’s creating distrust in the federal government, but also the state government, and we have so many first responders that have been working to go out and help these communities,” she added. {link}

What It Means That Criticizing FEMA Is “Dangerous”

from Moonbattery:

When Biden’s new senior advisor snarls that raising the issue of repurposed FEMA’s intolerable response to Helene is “misinformation,” she means that it is the sort of thing Shrillary has been shrieking you should be put in prison for.

Another apparent DEI hire, the historic first female FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell, confirms that criticizing her agency is “dangerous”:

Zuckerberg Says He Regrets Censorship, So Why Is Meta Still Trying to Interfere With the Election?

by Tom Knighton, Townhall:

We know that Facebook censored people throughout the pandemic. We know that if the Biden administration asked them to censor people, the social media giant did it.

This isn’t groundbreaking news.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said he regrets that the company did it, which is fine except that it could be argued that it constituted election interference. After all, a lot of the people who reported being censored were shut down because of their pro-Donald Trump rhetoric.

The same is true for those who report being throttled on the platform.

But Zuckerberg said that’s over. He said he regrets it and it won’t happen again, blah, blah, blah.

Hillary Clinton Calls on Corporate Media to Push ‘Consistent Narrative about Danger Trump Poses’

by Frank Bergman, Slay News:

Twice-failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is calling on her allies in the corporate to continue attacking President Donald Trump with aggressive rhetoric.

Clinton made the call at the Clinton Global Initiative during a special edition of PBS News’s “Firing Line with Margaret Hoover.”

She argues that the corporate media needs to push a “consistent narrative” that Trump is a “danger” to the American people.

Why don’t college students care about free speech?

by Alex Berenson, Unreported Truths:

I spoke yesterday on the First Amendment and social media at the University of North Carolina; great event, but 80 percent of the people who showed up were over 50.

Last night, James Lawrence – my lawyer in Berenson v Biden – and I had the privilege of speaking at the University of North Carolina about the threats to free speech.

The event, at the student union, was well-publicized and -run. Our hosts, the university’s Student and Alumni Free Speech Alliances, even offered free pizza.
