The pro-government screed actually laid off almost half its workforce.
Washington, D.C. Feb. 10, 2026.
Last week, we reported that one of America’s most pro-government extremist newspapers, the Washington Post, had fired or laid off one-third of its workforce. The “news”paper loses more than a hundred million dollars annually spewing a steady stream of big-government, deep-state lies and propaganda.
Now, there is information that the Post actually shed FORTY-EIGHT PERCENT of its staff, including more than half of the Post’s “climate change reporters.”
“[T]he extent of the damage is actually greater than first reported . . . . an accounting by the Washington-Baltimore Newspaper Guild, the union that represents Post journalists, finds that the paper’s management eliminated closer to half of the journalists it used to employ.”
“According to guild steward Sarah Kaplan, a Post climate reporter, the paper is dropping between 350 and 375 journalists. With the newsroom’s pre-layoff strength at 790 people, that means between 44 percent and 47.5 percent of the newsroom has been axed…”
The public craves news and the convenience of around-the-clock information. But CNN has lost TWO-THIRDS of its viewers since 2016. People just won’t tune into pro-government propaganda and Democratic Party talking points.
The Gateway Pundit has collected numerous comments about the network’s loss of trust and credibility.
Washington, D.C., Feb. 4, 2026. In what can only be described as a great day for integrity in journalism, the Washington Post has announced that one-third of its staff is being laid off. People just won’t pay for pro-government propaganda. It may be that secret government support for the “newspaper” has been cut or temporarily stayed.
The Post was once considered one of America’s finest newspapers. But years as a government mouthpiece has cost the Post millions of dollars annually. See here.
D.C. January 28, 2026. The Washington Post’s endless stream of pro-government extremist content has caused the institution to lose thousands of readers along with credibility. The Post has been “bleeding cash,” possibly hundreds of millions of dollars annually in recent years. Readers simply won’t pay to read government and Democratic Party talking points.
Now the Post is notifying staff that as many as 300 more jobs are on the chopping block. Owner Jeff Bezos is trying to save the “newspaper” by switching its focus to “free markets” and personal liberties. Bezos’ tweet post sent mainstream “journalists” into fits of rage.
The Australian government recently banned internet use without ID. China long ago did so. In the EU efforts are also underway to ban all anonymous internet use. (The government of Ireland is leading the push in the EU to require that all internet users on the continent be known and identified to governments.)
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called for “an end to anonymity on social media.” As most observant critics know, this push is a major agenda plank of the World Economic Forum. WEF is currently pressuring governments and ‘thought leaders’ around the globe to increase censorship. Recently the Dallas Morning News came out in support of mandatory ID laws for internet log-ins.
In many ways this movement is reminiscent of the requirement that all printing presses be licensed in England between 1662 and 1695. Three centuries of progress for freedom of speech may be coming to an end.
This mass movement of globalists to ban anonymity of speech is consistent with general crackdowns on dissent. Swiss Colonel Jacques Baud used to do intelligence analysis with NATO, but he has reached unacceptable conclusions about the war in Ukraine. Therefore, he has been sanctioned by the EU and cannot access banks, cannot buy food etc.
The UK government is now arresting some 12,000 people per month for speaking online.
The EU recently issued a $150 million fine against X because X won’t increase censorship of anti-government thoughts.
The Trump US government is playing the role of global free speech protector.
Of course the US government itself has a long history of pushing censorship. US censorship reached its zenith during the previous (Biden) presidency when the US government was caught secretly funding the European-global censorship efforts. America First Legal revealed in March 2024 that Joe Biden was paying pro-government foreign operatives to target American websites like The Gateway Pundit which criticized governments. The Biden regime was funding Imran Ahmed and his UK-based censorship group, the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH).
Imran Ahmed’s group also targeted American news organizations like The Gateway Pundit, Zero Hedge, Breitbart, and several others. On June 15, 2021, Biden’s National Security Council published its first-ever National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism.
But presently, the Trump State Department (in a move obviously designed to protect US-based media platforms such as X and Meta) is imposing sanctions on the EU regarding the EU’s moves toward global censorship.
THE TRUMP/RUBIO DECEMBER 23, 2025 BAN OF FIVE EUROPEAN CENSORS
Recently, on December 23, 2025, the Trump/Rubio US State Department announced actions to “combat the global censorship-industrial complex” by banning five specific individuals “who have led organized efforts to coerce American platforms to censor, demonetize, and suppress American viewpoints they oppose. “
The five banned censors are Imran Ahmed, chief executive of the Centre for Countering Digital Hate; Josephine Ballon and Anna-Lena von Hodenberg, leaders of HateAid, a German organization; Clare Melford, who runs the Global Disinformation Index; and former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton.
Imran Ahmed is, ironically already in the US and is subject to deportation. However Ahmed recently petitioned a federal judge in the US Southern District of New York to halt deportation proceedings against Ahmed.
PBS recently broadcasted an overly friendly (almost fawning) interview with Ahmed in which PBS described the Trump Administration’s ban of Ahmed as ITSELF an act of censorship. PBS described Ahmed as merely a “researcher”–suggesting Ahmed was without any power or authority. Ahmed said he is simply trying to hold mega-corporations such as X and Meta “accountable” and to keep the corporations from evading “responsibility.”
California has some of the nation’s highest taxes and harshest regulations. But now, as California voters prepare to vote on a ballot initiative to impose a “one time” wealth tax of “five percent on the assets of California residents worth more than a billion,” several of California’s richest residents are preparing to flee the Golden State.
Writing for the Washington Post, Elizabeth Dwoskin and Caroline O’Donovan report that some of the world’s richest men, including tech investor David Sacks, Peter Thiel, Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, are all in preparations to relocate to either Florida or Texas.
The wealth tax proposal, report Dwoskin and O’Donovan, is “intended to offset federal budget cuts to social services.” (Note that there have been no federal budget cuts whatsoever.)
Creating yet another secret police unit.
The provision’s co-author, University of Missouri law professor, David Gamage, says the intention of the law is to tax roughly 200 identified billionaires in the state. The “one time tax” will create yet another secret police unit which will scour through assets of wealthy Californians to identify seizable properties. Gilbert Hyatt, an inventor who patented chip technology moved to Nevada from Silicone Valley in the early 1990s. The state of California so savagely investigated Hyatt’s move that it sent tax inspectors to his house to dig through his trash and peer through his windows.
“Andy Fang, the co-founder of the food delivery company DoorDash, which is public, posted that the provision “could wipe me out,” and that it would be “irresponsible for me not to plan [on] leaving the state.”
Caracus. Jan. 4, 2026. Venezuela was once one of the richest countries in Latin America. Then its people voted for socialism, “free healthcare,” and redistribution. The Venezuelan government seized oil companies, mines, newspapers, and businesses of every kind.
Today 82 percent of Venezuelans live in poverty according to recognized standards, including 53 percent in extreme poverty. More than 94 percent of the population lacks sufficient income to purchase basic goods and services. The Gini inequality coefficient has reached 0.603, making Venezuela one of the most unequal societies in the world.
Eighty-two percent of Venezuelans suffer from food insecurity, and 17 percent of children under five were malnourished as of 2018. Food production fell by 60 percent between 2014 and 2018. While the country cannot produce enough food domestically, most people also lack the income to purchase imported food. As a result, 84 percent of basic food basket items are unavailable in supermarkets.
The healthcare system has collapsed, with both maternal and infant mortality increasing by more than 30 percent since 2015. The maternal mortality rate stands at 98.87 deaths per 100,000 live births.
Roughly half of the country’s doctors have fled Venezuela. An estimated 70 percent of medical and nursing staff have abandoned their positions.
Venezuela ranked 156th out of 180 countries in Reporters Without Borders’ 2024 World Press Freedom Index. The government blocked websites, social media platforms, and foreign news outlets, and shut down at least 115 media organizations across print, radio, and television. So-called anti-hate laws, carrying prison sentences of up to 20 years, have been used to silence journalists and activists. Additional anti-fascism, anti-terrorism, cybercrime, and NGO surveillance laws created a rapid and comprehensive legal machinery for repression.
State-directed disinformation campaigns use paid troll accounts and fake websites to smear journalists and activists. Venezuelans have been detained simply for filming events on the street or for comments made in WhatsApp groups, creating widespread fear of discussing political or social issues online.
As of September 2024, Venezuela held 1,793 political prisoners, the highest number recorded in the 21st century. Following the July 2024 election, approximately 1,400 people were detained for protesting or expressing dissent, bringing the post-election total to 1,659 detainees, including children. Most were charged with terrorism and remain imprisoned without sentencing.
The light of liberty is going out across the western world.
Berlin. December 17, 2025. On this anniversary of the signing of the Bill of Rights in America, the right of free speech and press are practically extinguished in Europe and the UK.
Recently, the ‘X’ platform was hit with a $150 million fine by the EU (unelected) “parliament” for failing to censor out anti-government content.
SWAT-style police raids now descend on thousands of Europeans annually who speak words which government masters dislike.
Now a new German poll shows that 40 percent of Germans believe they can’t speak freely.
December 6, 2025.New York Times reports that Venezuelan officials say María Corina Machado will be considered a fugitive if she goes to Oslo, Norway to accept the Nobel Peace Prize.
Just 30 years ago Venezuela was one of the wealthiest and freest countries in South America. Then its people voted for socialism. Today’s Venezuelans are among the poorest and most oppressed people in all of Latin America. The Venezuelan government has seized and stolen countless businesses. Former doctors and lawyers now walk the streets as prostitutes. Starving people break into the national zoo to cook and eat zebras and other zoo animals. Men die in the streets fighting over dollar bills. Censorship is almost absolute. Meanwhile heirs of Hugo Chavez (the corrupt founder of Venezuelan socialism back in 1998) live in Europe as billionaires.
María Corina Machado has courageously forged an opposition movement, openly accusing the socialist government of stealing elections and robbing the Venezuelan people of their liberty and prosperity. Machado has been living in hiding in her country. She indicates she will travel to Norway next week to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, according to a Norwegian official.
Venezuela’s government has said she would be considered a fugitive if she left the country and subject to arrest if she returns.
Machado is a member of a prominent Venezuelan family whose company, Sivensa, was a large steel producer; Venezuela’s government has stolen most of the company. Venezuelan authorities blocked her from running for president in 2024. She shifted her strategy to backing Edmundo González, who trounced President Maduro last year. Nevertheless, Venezuelan officials declared Mr. Maduro the winner. Mr. Maduro’s government then arrested more than 2,000 people for taking part in protests over the stolen election.
A strong majority of Americans now believe that higher education is a scam, according to new polling from NBC News.
A new NBC News poll finds that a full 63% of voters believe a four-year college degree now isn’t worth it, since many students graduate with “a large amount of debt” but no “specific job skills.”
Tuition costs have skyrocketed, doubling over the last 20 years (a redoubling from two decades earlier), as universities jacked up prices to match increased “help” such as federal aid and ever-larger government-facilitated student loans.
Americans become less free the instant they walk upon a government funded college campus. Debate on every issue is controlled by government political correctness.
