1. He flat out lied. Facebook 100% prohibited the sharing of the NY Post story in messenger.

2. The FBI supposedly warned about “Russian disinformation” except this story wasn’t Russian Disinformation. This was a news story generated inside an American newsroom, not some troll farm in Macedonia, and everyone at Facebook knew it.

3. Zuck’s admission right here is about 10x more evidence of Big Techs election interference crimes than has ever been offered to support the claim of “Russian election interference.”

4. Fuck Mark Zuckerberg.

Fascism is the collaboration between government and industry.

I find it hilarious that Biden wants to suggest the MAGA ideology is fascism on the very same day that the DNC, DOJ and Facebook fascism is exposed. Coincidence ?

Zuck is lying. They didn't just limit the visibility of the story, they blocked it completely. I tried posting the Hunter Biden laptop story of Facebook, it was taken down in minutes and I got a warning that my account would be suspended if I continued posting "misinformation" like that.

Nothing happens by accident in the Empire. There is some ulterior motive behind these revelations, whether they are true (in the manner he stated), or not. The new trick with today's corporate media is discovering these ulterior motives, if we can.

Actually, this is nothing new and it's hardly confined to social media. Establishment ideas have always sought to crush verifiable phenomena. I encountered it in the 80s, probably when Zuckerberg was just beginning to hatch his devious sociopathy. Science faculty beginning to teach impending climate catastrophe had "naughty-boy (or girl)" index fingers waved at them for "scaring their students." It was job-threat , aka "we'll steal your livelihood" censorship, similar to what faces honest journalists like you, Caitlin, and sites like the Grayzone and Consortium News. Sane historians were likewise threatened if they taught the truth about US aboriginal genocide. What we have now is the looming monster of Big Tech able to globalize such threats through algorithms. Folks who see this as "progress" are real brain-stunners for me

Students of history may recall that, during the Civil Rights Era, the local sheriff would act as a government official when the powers that be wanted to arrest troublemakers and otherwise use the law as a sword. The same sheriff would claim to be acting as a private citizen, just exercising his constitutional rights, when it came time to avoid pesky civil rights suits.

Shocked at his admission - surprising - wonder what the next revelation will be - This is nothing new, the Parallels between 911, Covid & this new "Project Mockingbird" are so vast to be astounding. I am also stunned how the American People seem so blind. Iraq, Lybia, Syria, Egypt, Somalia, Yemen, Ukraine - all dirty War work from the Intelligence agencies with decades of meddling all over the world, but when pressed about 911, the same folks balk & say something like "that was already investigated" or "Plenty of people were in the Media questioning the official story at the time" - these of course are completely incorrect and wishful thinking. The Media/Corporate Interests & Political Class held a tight grip on the subject and continue to do so. Julian Assange will remain in Prison as a warning to anyone from the 5 Eyes nations to keep silent about what they may know & why. His imprisonment is not just about vengeance. The Psychopaths' have taken over. The Intelligence Agencies have helped create a break away society. The people of the West are still so blind & Propagandized that they will attack the very people who are on their side. It's a shame - Podcasters like Dore, going out of their way to humiliate & disparage someone trying to do the right thing is so sad. Laughing at another human being's suffering is a sickening act of Schadenfreude and should be avoided at all costs - Especially since they haven't even bothered to speak with me for clarification on how/why I know what I know. I still love his show though & will continue to watch as he does great work on most other topics. I just won't reach out or post anything again - he probably though I was trying to ride his coat tails. SWJW.

The "counsel" from the FBI sounds exactly like the mob's tactics:

"Nice store you got there. Many stores in this neighborhood are burning. Just, be careful. We wouldn't want your store to burn."

When I moved to silicon valley a little while back I lived about a 3 minute walk from Facebook's main campus. Virtually all of our neighbors worked at Facebook. A super nice and social older couple quickly struck a friendship with my partner and I. They seemed like they could be anyone's grandma and grandpa.

In the weeks afterward several conversations with them veered into vague stories about the older man's time in the "three letter agencies" and their connections to the top of those agencies. The older man had joined the Navy out of high school and ended up in naval intelligence officially for the next 50 odd years. They mentioned that while the older man, who was in his 70s or so was retired, the wife who was maybe 20 years younger was not, and Facebook was contracting her as some nondescript project manager. The old man continually heaped praise on his wife never failing to say how much better she was at the job than he ever was. She would go silent or change the subject any time he brought stuff like that up.

They stayed about a total of 6 months before they moved back to Virginia. My partner formed an especially close bond with them and still keeps in touch. The wife is always going somewhere for a few months at a time so the old man goes too.

Meeting them was when things clicked for me. Obviously the state is going to have a lot of deals with these tech companies, whether or not the companies want anything to do with them. The platforms didn't get as powerful and concentrated into the hands of so few by magic. The really crazy thing was understanding that an agent could look and act so normal that you would never suspect them of being an agent in a million years if the beans hadn't already been slightly spilled.

This: "We are ruled by unelected sociopaths who have no wisdom, no compassion, and no intention of ever relinquishing their rule. This will continue unless and until enough of us wake up to what's going on to stop them."

WAKE UP EVERYONE! We've got sociopaths to lock up and/or lead to a guillotine.

"Those who live under the US empire are a propagandized and politically impotent population who only think they are free because they've been given the illusion of freedom, and less and less effort is being made to sustain that illusion."

Yeah it's sort of sad and ironic that the major effect of the internet/alt media may be to get us straight to the brick wall at the back of the theater. Revolution just isn't keeping pace with revelation

One more revelation of which there were scores already for anyone paying attention. I doubt if this one will make a difference. As someone mentioned in the comments - by now this censorship has been legitimized and accepted.

Many people are confused by the first amendment. It says “abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press”. Algorithms are covered by “abridging.”. And further, “of the press” is lowercase. In those days, a “press” was a hand operated printing press. So “of the press” means the freedom to publish. It has nothing to do with organized media whatsoever, although they would be covered as a subcategory.

A buncha damn fascists! It surrounds and is infused within capitalist structures yet most don't ever recognize its existence. Banks, Big Pharma, finance, work, etc., all controlled by fascists, and, oh yeah, Facebook. Peace
