Program eligibility:

Government agencies and NGOs are eligible to participate in the YouTube Trusted Flagger program.

Gov agencies are eligible? 1st amendment says Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;

Our founders clearly didn't want the government censoring. Even though it says congress one can make the argument that this would be a violation in a bridging freedom if speech. Gov agencies should be ineligible!

That's what caught my eye, too. How on Earth?!!

This may be the month that covert becomes overt.

I'm not sure, but that shift comes at some point.

How big a false-flag would it take?

Where? When?

I suspect this month...

Are you aware that a German member of Parliament told a recent gathering that

"Everyone will remember where they were on Sep 24th" ?

Expand full comment

Yes, precisely that.

It is like 9/11 or JFK's assassination.

Oh some of them did. Shortly after passing the Bill of Rights, the legislature passed the Alien and Sedition acts, criminalizing speech.

After about a minute wait, siri gave me cliff notes version of wikipedia's fascist take on fascism. Gosh, did you know it's a far right thing?

Hi Tessa.

Yes, there appears to be a 'glitch' in the matrix. I am getting only sporadic responses to clicking that cute little heart icon ... and to hell with Zuckerberg trying to restrict more nuanced feelings to a handful of cute emoticons – just as well I am banned from that 'funneling of the herd' site. Most recently, the powers that be are preventing me from even successfully buying Sage Hana a cup of coffee.

Just wondering how much of those dark algorithms have infiltrated substack to this point.

My cynical guess is that no heuristics or systematic defense against the constant gaze of the eye of Sauron (or grasp of Mammon) is permanently safe, and even substack will be overrun until we create another 'substack' or retreat into a new digital fortress within substack from which to shoot our flaming arrows into the beast.

Depspite it all, cheers from an increasingly micro-managed and anomie-as-norm Japan,

— steve

Been having the same problem. They seem to be going through eventually.

I guess Wiki doesn’t truly doesn’t know the definition of fascism. They only parrot what Encyclopedia Biden says.

And "Liberal" was far left...

Expand full comment

My understanding of "liberal" from the time I was very young was "open." This is the path I've chosen, reading both sides and choosing my own way. I was in the US for the first time in nearly 4 years about a week ago. I have watched in horror from afar as the people I thought were "open" (my tribe!) have slid into fascism.

And yet, my daughter, who hadn't even lived in the US until she went to college in Portland, is okay wearing masks, and chose to get the jab, twice. She's had a tough first 3 years in the US...torn ACL needing surgery, the covid thing, and then forest fires in Oregon that made it truly dangerous to breathe. Her father didn't even offer for her to move to him (and his second wife) in California. I wish now that I had encouraged her to come to me in Germany, right away. I love her, and it's her life...and this breaks my heart.

I REMOVED GOOGLE FROM MY COMPUTER SOME MONTHS AGO WHEN I BECAME AWARE OF THEIR TACTICS OF SPYING AND MANIPULATION BY WAY OF CONTROLING WHAT I CAN SAY.

IF ENOUGH PEOPLE CANCELED THEIR ASSOTIATION WITH GOOGLE THEY WOULD FEEL THE PINCH.

I HAVE ALSO BEEN SUBJECT TO BEING BANNED FROM MAKING COMMENTS ON UTUBE UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT WHICH IS ALSO INVOLVED WITH THE GREAT RESET. WE BELEIVERS IN HUMANITY BEING FREE AND OF GOOD WILL SHALL PREVAIL AS LONG AS WE CARRY ON THE FIGHT.

Wow. There's a court order banning you? On what grounds? Doesn't the bill of rights act guarantee freedom of expression? Did you have a good lawyer?

Expand full comment

THE NEW ZEALAND GOVT HAS PASSED LAWS THAT FORBID ANY RIDICULE AGAINST THEM ON ANY SOCIAL MEDIA SO THERE ARE VERY FEW FREEDOMS LEFT IN THIS COUNTRY. OTHER PEOPLE WITH VASTLY MORE CREDENTAILS THAN I HAVE TAKEN THE GOVT TO COURT BUT EVEN WHEN THE JUDGE RULES AGAINST THEM THEY SIMPLY MAKE CHANGES TO THE LAW AND TOTALLY IGNORE THE DECISSION OF THE COURT. NZ IS BEING RUN BY SOCIALISTS AND THEIR AIM IS TO CONTROL EVERY ONE AND EVERY THING WE DO.

Yikes!!

Same here in Germany. They can now sue you for "deligitimizing the government" - what an dorky term! Calling Baerbock, Habeck or Scholz idiots - and they are - is now punishable by law. That's how fascism works. And this is only the beginning!

And as long as the sheeple dutifully run along and shut up, things will continue to get worse. Big Tech, Big Pharma, The Military Industrial Complex, The Deep State a.k.a. Big Finance will not stop and it is getting harder to stop them with every passing day.

There are so many fronts on this war against humanity. Read a lot of recent articles where folks are celebrating the lifting of mandates by some governments worldwide. And yes, in and of itself that is very good. But while GovInc. offers a concession without ever actually admitting wrong-doing on one side, they continue to tighten the ratchet with censoring thought and speech on the other. See how that works? This is the pattern they will use over and over. Doesn’t even matter what the issues are per se. It is always going to be a net loss for the people who want to be free if TPTB aren’t fully shut down all over everywhere.

Not saying abandon all hope or give up. We must be aware of the scale of these things. And never let our guard and watch down.

Thank you. So they're just basically criminalized the entire western liberal tradition of political and economic thought; When do the book burnings of Rousseau, Locke, Montesquieu, Bastiat, Cantillon, Menger, Jevons, Schumpeter, Mises... begin?

This will not end until the left completely sensors the right. It will never be the other way around because the right is too lazy. They will just talk about it. 😬

Expand full comment

The left has systems in place to make it happen as well as foreign adversaries like China and Soros using leftist ideology as a weapon to subvert and weaken the West. The right just thinks that what is best will prevail and doesn't understand what they're up against.

the google narc program is all about training the bot. seems to me that's the ultimate end game, whether that's "law" enforcement, medicine (there's legislation in arizona to recognize computers as healthcare providers), education, manufacturing, and everything else.

The words community and guidelines seem so at odds with themselves don’t they?

‘Community’ feels organic, about people working things out for themselves. ‘Guidelines ‘ however, immediately takes away from that, from the spontaneous nature of evolving communities. It is a rule book, a code.

How about instead of guidelines, we try and build communities around shared values and respecting free speech? Radical, I know….

Exactly! But they don't have a goal to benefit anyone except themselves, and they know (they at the top, not they the regular employees) that this is BS and a show of fog and mirrors to justify their totalitarian ways.... they are just abusing good language!

Be sure and watch Joe Rogan 1768 about googles power.

Thank you! Oh, I am well aware of Google's power, I've been writing about it before it was a thing to do :) There is also a good book by Yasha Levine, "Surveillance Valley".. although I don't agree with his conclusions about COVID etc, as he went with it...

I have been very aware of Google’s power as well. But that Rogan podcast took it to another level for me.

Free speech never really goes away. It may go underground for a time, but it's impossible to stop it. They could ban all of us from the internet completely tomorrow and most of us would still find ways to share our ideas and opinions. Even in biblical times when it was a crime punishable by death to speak the name of Jesus Christ, Christians started to use the greek ichthys symbol to "speak" with other Christians. Even if we have to go back to publishing pamphlets and paper magazines, the truth can never be stopped completely no matter what technology the haters of true free speech try to use. I urge these monsters to keep pushing, they are only swelling the ranks of freedom lovers worldwide. The smart thing for them (the censors and haters of everything they don't agree with) to do is *ignore* those they don't agree with. But these people haven't figured that out and I don't think they ever will. And that only works to our advantage in the long run.
