“Truckpocalypse” begins in California as 70,000 truckers forced off the road by regulations

One major agenda of “the left” (i.e., the government) is the push to require every worker to be an “employee” rather than a free-lancer or an independent contractor. “Employees” are more monitored, documented, and regimented; their employers must withhold certain wages from their checks and regularly report details of each “employee,” including identification, address, social security number, tax information, hours and locations. “Employers” must also provide workers compensation and unemployment insurance.

“The left” (meaning the government) in California is now so powerful that they are forcing 70,000 independent contractor truckers (“owner operators”) to leave California. Every trucker must be an “employee.”

The draconian new law, “AB-5” will have devastating repercussions on an already fragile supply chain, increasing costs and worsening runaway inflation.

“Owner-operators” who own their own trucks and who pick up contract jobs from the hundreds of shipping and transport companies are now banned and criminalized.

“Former” FBI agents control “content moderation” at Twitter

Here AntiWar.com’s Scott Horton talks with Alan MacLeod about the surprising number of former FBI agents who have joined the content moderation department at Twitter.

Remember during the Obama Administration when Facebook’s and Twitter’s CEOs and execs visited and had meetings in the White House dozens of times? (Some reports said hundreds of times.)

And then–around 2016–all these major platforms began to roll out “content moderation,” “fact checking,” and ‘anti-disinformation’ programs to censor anti-government speech and criticism.

MacLeod describes numerous specific examples of people who have spent their careers working for the Federal Bureau of Investigation before “pivoting to join the tech company” prior to retirement (which high-paid federal officers almost never actually do). MacLeod also talks about the research he’s done into Facebook, Google, TikTok and Reddit.

Michigan government created snitch task force to hunt for doctors who didn’t push vaccines, masks

We all know that Michigan’s powermad governor Gretchen Whitmer locked down her state for months during 2020, destroyed hundreds of businesses and caused hundreds if not thousands of deaths of patients in hospitals and nursing homes by ordering exposures and treatments designed to kill patients.

But now it has been revealed that Whitmer’s Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs launched a snitch task force to hunt down and destroy the license and careers of doctors and nurses who refused to carry out government messaging and vaccination promotion.

“In some cases, doctors were reported for warning trick-or-treaters not to take the “vaccines.” In other cases, entire weddings were reported for not being masked in accordance with the guidelines of the CDC.

Holly Austin, a college nursing professor who holds a doctorate in nursing, could have lost her license over the “crime” of speaking as a parent at a public school board meeting in December of 2021 in opposition to the district’s proposed reinstitution of a mask mandate.

Some 200 other medical professionals, including doctors and nurses, were also probed by the state for similar phony “infractions,” including not wearing a mask or not actively promoting the wearing of masks.

In one of the cases, a doctor was reported to the state for shaking hands with someone who was not wearing a mask. In another case, a doctor was targeted simply for reporting that he had suffered a bad reaction to the injection.

Ljubisa Dragovic, Chief Medical Examiner for Oakland County, was reported for not wearing a mask while performing autopsies.

US President Requests BILLIONS to “counter disinformation”

Hidden in the details of US President Biden’s $33 billion supplemental budget allocation to aid Ukraine is a clause dedicating 8.8 billion dollars to

“the Department of State for economic support and assistance to the people of Ukraine and other affected countries, including direct budgetary support, as well as support for food security, democracy, anticorruption, cybersecurity, counter-disinformation, human rights, atrocity documentation, energy, and emergency infrastructure needs.” {pdf page 41} The request specifically authorizes the transfer of these funds globally, outside of Ukraine.”

To put this in perspective, $8.8 billion is greater than the annual budgets of several US states. It is greater than annual spending on border security. It is greater than the total spending on US election campaigns.

Has Elon Musk stumbled upon Information that Twitter is Secretly Subsidized by the US Government?

Astounding revelations are tumbling out of the Elon Musk proposal to purchase Twitter. Or conspiracy theories; depending on one’s perspective.

Tech analysts at the Conservative Tree House and elsewhere have spent thousands of hours studying Twitter’s business model. They contend that Twitter simply cannot exist without massive secret support from immensely deep pockets.

“In the big picture of tech platforms, Twitter, as an operating model, is a massive high-user commenting system.” “There is no business model where Twitter is financially viable to operate…. UNLESS the tech architecture under the platform was subsidized.”

“In my opinion, there is only one technological system and entity that could possibly underwrite the cost of Twitter to operate. That entity is the United States Government.”

“If my hunch is correct, Elon Musk is poised to expose the well-kept secret that most social media platforms are operating on U.S. government tech infrastructure and indirect subsidy.” “The backbone of Twitter is the United States government.”

“There is simply no way the Fourth Branch of Government, the U.S. intelligence system writ large, is going to permit that discovery.”

It should be noted that immediately upon Elon Musk announcing his tender offer to purchase Twitter, the US government began attacking Musk for a variety of alleged regulatory violations.

Stay tuned!

“Vaccine hesitancy” among new moms increased significantly during the pandemic. This appears to be correlated with IMPROVED infant mortality rates.

Igor Chudov writes that vaccination of infants massively decreased in Florida in 2021 due to “vaccine hesitancy”. And all cause infant mortality MASSIVELY DECREASED, in a perfect lockstep!

Say what?

Yes. In 2021, parents of newborns in Florida were much more “vaccine hesitant”, for reasons obvious to my readers, and therefore childhood vaccinations decreased from 93.4% previously to only 79.3% in 2021. During the same time, all cause infant mortality under 1 year of age in Florida also DECREASED by 8.93%.

Both changes are huge.

And this decrease in infant mortality happened as deaths of other age groups increased significantly.

Masks have failed every test

Tech genius Steve Kirsch has been relentlessly analyzing last year’s widely-publicized Bangladesh mask study. Kirsch recently engaged the lead author of the study in an exhaustive review discussion regarding the study.

(The Bangladesh study was trumpeted on the front pages of every major newspaper in the fall of 2021. Many newspapers blared headlines such as “Study Proves Masks Work.”)

But after Kirsch’s back-and-forth debate with the Yale University professor behind the study, one expert said that the publicized conclusions were “worse than just sloppy work.” “This is bordering on fraud.”

“In short,” writes Kirsch, “the Bangladesh mask study again failed to prove that masks make a difference.”

“For example, here’s the graph for purple cloth masks. If masks worked, it would be highly unlikely for these curves to be on top of each other. For some strange reason, graphs such as these were omitted from the paper. Can you guess why??? Yes, it’s because the study was designed to fit the narrative.”

Kirsch writes that there have only been two randomized trials testing the hypothesis that masks can reduce the spread of COVID.

(Prior to COVID, every study of mask effectiveness vis-a-vis similar diseases such as influenza, showed virtually no effectiveness.)

“The first one, in Denmark, was negative. Masks made no difference. But in order to get the study published, they had to change the science to match the narrative. This was all well documented in the BMJ, one of the few honest journals left.”

The second one, in Bangladesh, claimed masks are effective. It is the study that all the “experts” seized upon. “See, masks work!!”

But Kirsch demonstrates that the Bangladesh study did not properly categorize study groups or scrutinize data.

So now you know why we can’t find any authority who wants to debate our team on any of our points: they know they will lose. So they make up excuses to avoid being challenged like that we are misinformed, lack credentials, or that they don’t have time for such silliness as defending their study. This is also why there is such an intense focus on censoring, deplatforming, gaslighting, and discrediting us: because they don’t want their bad science to be exposed.

Did Rachel Maddow Refuse to Pump CIA Wars? MSNBC is Paying Her $30 Million to work ONE NIGHT PER WEEK

If not for secret payments by CIA, would MSNBC even exist?

In 1975 the US Senate Church Committee found that the CIA was secretly paying major news reporters for pro-government “journalism.” Congress passed no laws prohibiting the practice. Today it is estimated that the CIA likely spends billions annually on “mainstream” “news.”

During the rollout of the Desert Storm war, MSNBC fired two of their highest-paid and highest-rated news commentators–Phil Donahue and Jesse Ventura–when the two commentators said they opposed the war. (Both were paid their entire multi-million-dollar salaries to keep quiet for as long as 3 years.)

Now–as the deep state ramps up war propaganda regarding Russia and Ukraine–MSNBC has announced that its highest-rated news analyst, Rachel Maddow, will be relegated to just one night per week (Mondays!). Maddow has historically expressed antiwar sentiments. The network has mysteriously agreed to pay Maddow her entire $30 million annual salary for a single hour of work per week.

MSNBC lost 60% of its audience among the key news demographic of adults age 25-54, averaging only 87,000 compared to 217,000 last year.

MSNBC now finishes behind such networks as MTV, Nickelodeon, A&E, and Food Network.

Viewers just won’t tune in to watch stale pro-government propaganda.

Meanwhile, other “mainstream” (government supported, government supporting) “news” shows are struggling to attract an audience. Earlier this week it was reported that CNN had spent almost $400 million to launch a new “CNNPlus” streaming network; which has garnered fewer than 10,000 subscribers.

CNN spent $400 million promoting a new pay-for-news pro-government “CNN Plus” streaming network. Just 10,000 people subscribed.

CNN–the greatest contemporary embodiment of “mainstream” news–has spent the past year, and some $400 million, launching “CNN Plus.” But just 10,000 viewers weekly have subscribed to the new channel.

Viewers just won’t pay to watch worn-out, pro-government propaganda. According to Alex Jones of Infowars, the smallest radio station in a small town generally has over 10,000 listeners in a typical week.

According to Alex Jones, Infowars operates for around $27 million dollars annually and average 2 to 3 million viewers for its content.

Rumble receives emails from “news” organizations demanding that Rumble censor “disinfo” (as determined by governments)

Globally the strongest demands for censorship are now coming from “journalists” and “mainstream” (government supporting and supported) news sources. Now the Globe and Mail, Canada’s largest newspaper, is demanding that rising video platform Rumble.com begin censoring government-unapproved content in the same way that Youtube, Google, Facebook and Twitter have done.

Youtube now deletes and prohibits any videos which question the 2020 presidential election, as well as any video containing medical information which is not approved by the World Health Organization. Youtube has also begun deleting and suppressing videos which cast doubt on the government’s climate-doomsday-by-manmade-CO2 theory.

According to a tweet by Rumble, “It is now common that we receive pressure from journalists demanding that we censor more.” See here.
