Steve, where can I find the detailed information of the pretest on censorship at Facebook's headquarter in the afternoon of May 19 2022? I didn't find it from Children's Health Defense's website and online searching didn't help either. Thanks!

Since the topic is about "freedom," I hope it's okay to publish this historic analogy ...

In hindsight, I think the Canadian Trucker Protest has already given us the key lesson that reveals what “my side” is really up against.

In the end, this protest - as inspiring as it was to witness - failed. It was quickly exterminated.

How was it “put down?” There are two reasons, one obvious, one not as obvious, but even more important.

Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau simply issued “emergency orders” that allowed authorities to confiscate funds from protestors’ bank accounts. Not only were the funding mechanisms for the protestors shut down, the State went after the money of the protestors. They also criminalized insurance policies that truckers needed to operate a trucking business and earn a living. Then police simply arrested all the key leaders. A protest that had grown via grassroots’ support was extinguished over one weekend.

… But this is not the REAL reason this protest ultimately failed; the real reason was …

The mainstream press also did everything in its powers to end the protest. Or, perhaps better stated, it did NOTHING to support the protest, which might have allowed it to spread and make a real difference.

Here we have to consider one of those “counter-factuals,” a THING that did NOT happen, but could have happened.

Key question: Could or would Trudeau have issued those emergency orders if the mainstream press had been rallying around the cause of the truckers? What if influential press organizations had been writing sympathetic stories about the truckers for weeks? What if when Trudeau issued his edicts, an army of scribes and opinion-influencers attacked the prime minister for this totalitarian response?

None of this happened of course. In fact, the opposite happened. The mainstream press supported his edicts and did all it could to portray the truckers as dangerous extremists. Trudeau had nothing to worry about from any political “blowback” because he knew the key press members had his back. It was this knowledge, this certainty, that empowered him to shut down a protest that was on the verge of spreading around the world.

Here I contrast the writings of today’s mainstream press to the writings that probably surrounded the Boston Tea Party of December 1773. At least according to my understanding of American history, the Boston Tea Party was a seminal event among a series of events that ultimately led to America seeking a divorce from the UK crown, which was deemed to be tyrannical or opponents to real liberty.

Were the Boston Tea Party protestors universally condemned as extremists and dangerous by ALL of the leading writers and thinkers of the day in the American colonies? I don’t think so. Did Ben Franklin, John Adams and Thomas Paine knock out article after article - or give speech after speech - condemning these protestors and scolding them for not supporting the king?

If they did, these anecdotes from history didn’t make it into my history classes 210 years later.

In effect, the mainstream press circa 2022 are the most avid defenders of “the crown” (aka The Status Quo). When “King Trudeau” did what he did, the press (in Canada and the USA) saluted and thanked him for “protecting” the people from dangerous extremists.

Here one can’t help but think that today’s press corps, transplanted back in time to 1773, would have ignored or censored any coverage of the Boston Tea Party. For this “service to the crown,” they would have no doubt been rewarded with invitations to social functions held by the Red Coat governors and gotten to keep all of their myriad status perks. The significance of the Boston Tea Party might have effectively been erased from history, just like that ride of Paul Revere, etc.

Today, I read that Canada is pushing an initiative that will require journalists to be licensed by the State. In America, we now have a “Ministry of Truth” inside a powerful and ever-expanding agency devoted to “homeland defense.” All the social media and legacy media sites basically exist to protect the views of “the crown.” Any “narrative” perceived as sympathetic to liberty defenders is now dangerous and, in some cases, is literally being outlawed.

The “patriots” who started a revolution for liberty in late 1773 would, today, probably all be cast as villains or “traitors.” Certainly, those parroting the speeches of yesterday’s Founding Fathers are vilified in today’s times.

In my view, the easy put-down of the Trucker Canadian Protest wouldn’t have been possible if virtually ALL of the mainstream press hadn’t been captured by the State. I also argue that virtually all of the elites who benefit from the Status Quo are in the same camp as the journalists in the newsrooms of, say, the New York Times.

Why does the Canadian Trucker Protest matter? Because, ultimately, it didn’t matter. The key point being that it COULD have mattered and SHOULD have mattered.

Why didn’t it matter? Because the people who “buy their ink by the barrel” have pledged their unwavering support to the Crown. FWIW, this is a major, depressing and historic change.

Good luck with the fund-raising. Your mission is vital and the Empire you are attempting to expose is determined and ruthless ...

Regarding the most-important question of them all: What would or could change things for the better?

For my part, I’ve become convinced that nothing is going to change for the better as long as a real “search for the truth” remains taboo at the mainstream news organizations that create and then protect all of the false or “dubious narratives.”

So what could happen that might (belatedly) challenge all of these widely-accepted but dubious or false narratives?

Well, journalists or editors at the big and influential news organizations could “find religion,” or belatedly develop a conscience and suddenly start performing real investigations they have never authorized to date.

Alas, I would gauge the probability of this happening to be about 0.01 percent. For starters, if this was going to happen, it would have already happened. Past behavior (ignoring or outlawing contrarian investigations) IS the best predictor of future activity. (One could even label this observable fact a “known knowable.”).

I’d also point out that belatedly exposing harsh truths would actually constitute proof that the “watchdog media” actively promoted such untruths for years. Is any organization really going to authorize an investigation that would result in the thrashing of their own reputations, wealth, prestige, status and power? Call me a cynic, but I don’t think so.

This leaves just one possibility in my mind. Someone (or, better, several “someones”) are going to have to create news organizations that DO investigate “taboo” topics, investigations that might expose corruption, crimes and malfeasance among all the “captured” organizations in the world. Furthermore, such a new “news organization” would need to reach large numbers of people as the “key to the operation” would be producing taboo journalism that actually could “go viral.”

What makes me think my “solution” might actually work is that such a development would probably scare the living daylights out of the Powers that Be who profit from a corrupt Status Quo.

It’s amazing, but nonetheless true, that these tyrants are able to not only remain in positions of power, but increase their power, for one reason only: Nobody (who matters) is really working to expose them. That is, by now, they KNOW they can get away with just about anything. They know this because they figuratively or literally own the “watchdog” mainstream press.

True, little bands of resistance can be found at Substack sites and “alternative media” sites, but these sites don’t reach enough people to really scare them. In effect, all the critical thinkers who might threaten them have been herded into corrals of dissent that are easily dismissed as platforms of kooky “Misinformation.”

I guess the good news is that more people ARE finding such alternative sources of news and commentary …. so hope hasn’t been completely extinguished. But by now I think I know how ruthless and determined the other side is. Even these sites, with their limited audiences, will almost certainly be targeted for elimination and/or even greater censorship.

So time is probably of the essence here. If someone is going to try to go around the “gatekeepers of the news” and reach - and persuade - large swaths of the public that they’ve been sold a bill of goods, they need to “get hot’ …. yesterday.

If anyone thinks our Establishment rulers think “a little dissent is okay,” I’ve got a bridge I want to sell you.

Dr Paul Alexander | court proceedings & fair public debate

Dr Mark Trozzi May 14, 2022

¨Canadian Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons are corrupted to the core, and on the short list of those who must be taken to court.

Here is a great 7 minutes clip of one of my absolute favourite people on Earth, Dr Paul Alexander.

I stand with him 100%, and agree to participate fully in the court proceedings and debates that he is proposing. We must hold the perpetrators of the covid crimes against humanity everywhere to account.

Dr Alexander is one of the world’s most qualified scientists regarding all things covid. He is confident and bold for good reasons. Feel confident; be bold.¨ https://drtrozzi.org/2022/05/14/dr-paul-alexander-court-proceedings-fair-public-debates/

Thank you for alerting us to these to events. FYI, as a former non-profit executive director who had to be very careful about IRS rules, the dinner in Menlo is not tax deductible. It is "tax deductible to the extent allowed by law". In other words, all the money that is charged above the price of the dinner. If the dinner is being provided as a donation, then the entire amount is tax deductible. I only caution, since all of us who are going against Big Brother, are being scrutinized very carefully by the IRS & every other compromised agency!

How much can you take? The Occult History of the U.S. Military’s PSYOPS and its Highly Symbolic Recruitment Video

¨The goal of PSYOP is, essentially, to mess with people’s minds. Appropriately enough, a recent recruitment video by the 4th PSYOP Group accomplished just that. Posted on the official social media accounts associated with the U.S. Military, the video titled Ghosts in the Machine gained some viral traction as viewers were impressed with the video’s production quality … while being baffled by its overarching message and symbolism.¨ Read More https://sarahwestall.com/the-occult-history-of-the-u-s-militarys-psyops-and-its-highly-symbolic-recruitment-video/

Unions... are the unions representing these groups going to attend or are they in the side of the massvaxists telling their members to get in line and roll up your sleeves?

I live in Santa Cruz and wanted to share some info with you Steve -

My Mom lives near me in a small mobile home community , Rodeo Gultch Mobile Estates, 55 & older with approximately 200 residents. From December to March ,3 of my mom’s neighbors had a mastectomy all within 3 months of each other. All were triple jabbed -2 were “healthy” and one previously had cancer.

More recently, after the 4th jab, another neighbor told my Mom that she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer & wanted to have dinner with her before she died . The neighbor that had cancer before the jabs, that had a mastectomy, now has skin cancer on her face.

I find these statistics in this small community devastating.
