Tyler Durden, The Boot Is Coming Down Hard And Fast

Tyler Durden

 

…The censorship of a political faction at the hands of a few liberal Silicon Valley billionaires will do the exact opposite of eliminating right-wing paranoia and conspiracy theories, and everyone knows it. You’re not trying to make things better, you’re trying to make them worse. You’re not trying to restore peace and order, you’re trying to force a confrontation so your political enemies can be crushed. You’re accelerationist.

 

A lot’s been happening really fast. It’s a white noise saturation day and it’s impossible to keep track of everything going on, so I’m just going to post my thoughts on a few of the things that have happened.

Biden has announced plans to roll out new domestic terrorism laws in the wake of the Capitol Hill riot.

“Mr. Biden has said he plans to make a priority of passing a law against domestic terrorism, and he has been urged to create a White House post overseeing the fight against ideologically inspired violent extremists and increasing funding to combat them,” Wall Street Journal reports.

Did you know that Biden has often boasted about being the original author of the US Patriot Act?

The first draft of the civil rights-eroding USA PATRIOT Act was magically introduced one week after the 9/11 attacks. Legislators later admitted that they hadn’t even had time to read through the hundreds of pages of the history-shaping bill before passing it the next month, yet somehow its authors were able to gather all the necessary information and write the whole entire thing in a week.

This was because most of the work had already been done. CNET reported the following back in 2008:

“Months before the Oklahoma City bombing took place, [then-Senator Joe] Biden introduced another bill called the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995. It previewed the 2001 Patriot Act by allowing secret evidence to be used in prosecutions, expanding the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and wiretap laws, creating a new federal crime of ‘terrorism’ that could be invoked based on political beliefs, permitting the U.S. military to be used in civilian law enforcement, and allowing permanent detention of non-U.S. citizens without judicial review. The Center for National Security Studies said the bill would erode ‘constitutional and statutory due process protections’ and would ‘authorize the Justice Department to pick and choose crimes to investigate and prosecute based on political beliefs and associations.’

Biden’s bill was never put to a vote, but after 9/11 then-Attorney General John Ashcroft reportedly credited his bill with the foundations of the USA PATRIOT Act.

“Civil libertarians were opposed to it,” Biden said in 2002 of his bill.

“Right after 1994, and you can ask the attorney general this, because I got a call when he introduced the Patriot Act. He said, ‘Joe, I’m introducing the act basically as you wrote it in 1994.’”

A recent Morning Joe appearance by CIA analyst-turned House Representative Elissa Slotkin eagerly informed us that the real battle against terrorism is now inside America’s borders.

“The post 9/11 era is over,” Slotkin tweeted while sharing a clip of her appearance.

“The single greatest national security threat right now is our internal division. The threat of domestic terrorism. The polarization that threatens our democracy. If we don’t reconnect our two Americas, the threats will not have to come from the outside.”

“Before Congress, Elissa worked for the CIA and the Pentagon and helped destabilize the Middle East during the Bush and Obama admins,” tweeted journalist Whitney Webb in response.

“What she says here is essentially an open announcement that the US has moved from the ‘War on [foreign] terror’ to the ‘War on domestic terror’.”

In response to pressures from all directions including its own staff, Twitter has followed Facebook’s lead and removed Donald Trump’s account.

And it wasn’t just Trump. Accounts are vanishing quickly, including some popular Trump supporter accounts. I myself have lost hundreds of followers on Twitter in the last few hours, and I’ve seen people saying they lost a lot more.

It also wasn’t just Trump supporters; leftist accounts are getting suspended too. The online left is hopefully learning that cheering for Twitter “banning fascists” irrationally assumes that (A) their purges are only banning fascists and (B) they are limiting their bans to your personal definition of fascists. There is no basis whatsoever for either of these assumptions.

Google has ratcheted things up even further by removing Parler from its app store, and Apple will likely soon follow. This push to marginalize even the already fringey social media sites is making the libertarian/shitlib argument of “If you don’t like censorship just go to another platform” look pretty ridiculous.

This is all happening just in time for the Biden administration, about which critics had already been voicing grave concerns regarding the future of internet censorship.

The censorship of a political faction at the hands of a few liberal Silicon Valley billionaires will do the exact opposite of eliminating right-wing paranoia and conspiracy theories, and everyone knows it. You’re not trying to make things better, you’re trying to make them worse. You’re not trying to restore peace and order, you’re trying to force a confrontation so your political enemies can be crushed. You’re accelerationist.

A Venn diagram of people who support the latest social media purges and people who secretly hope Trumpers freak out and attempt a violent uprising would look like the Japanese flag.

The correct response to a huge section of the citizenry doubting an electoral system we’ve known for years is garbage would have been more transparency, not shoving the process through and silencing people who voice doubts and making that entire faction more paranoid and crazy.

Supporting the censorship of online speech is to support the authority of monopolistic tech oligarchs to exert more and more global control over human communication. Regardless of your attitude toward whoever happens to be getting deplatformed today, supporting this is suicidal.

      1. Some might see that as an excuse…others as a commonition. A glass can be half empty or half full….how do you see it?

      4. Also getting some feedback that arrests are already underway and that certain members of CONgress will never be seen again. Source also says to go to https://www.mylibertypage.com/
        ..for information as things start to get shut down.
        But I have no validation as yet.

      9. Absolutely remarkable. If all is fact, we must be very close to the finish line for this to be exposed now.
        To all here, do not miss this.

      15. Simon Parks (Ret UK MI6)
        …says ‘Insurrection Act’ signed last night, ie Sat nite at 6:30PM.  Says start will be Tues or Wen but maybe brought up earlier.  He says Trump announcement now maybe Tuesday.

    2. I hope it happens, but…..

      I’ll kiss your ass — and give you ten dollars— if Nancy Pelosi is arrested Monday.

      There are few things Mr. Will would love more than that!

  3. We are not here to be Antifa?????
    Anyhow watched the show on Reagan then Rickles, never saw Trump????
    I always liked Reagans’ jokes like:
    “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the Government, and I’m here to help. ”
    I heard a new one like he ogten wonders what he could have achieved if he studied harder

    1. Bill, Watched most of it along with you. It was endearing, but I would rather have been listening to Trump. Sorry about that. It was a report I had that I wanted to share. Let’s hope that Will’s latest–that Pelosi will be arrested on Monday–has more truth to it.

  4. The Jewish weapon commonly known as Coid-19 will cause mass foreclosures. Foreclosed properties will ultimately be purchased by the Jew controlled central bank — just like 2008.

    And now that the Jew d’etat has succeeded, the unemployed and homeless will be treated like Palestinians and will ultimately be destroyed.

    Christians will be the primary target— just like they were in the former Soviet Union.

    This is the Jewish end game.

  5. Like the many truther type quotes like George Orwell, Voltaire did not say that. This is like religions (Will I have changed my mind about religions, they are psyops but god/prime force I still believe in) the Jesus or Confucius leader did not wite anything down and I believe Romans and/or followers aleterd the writings that were not done by the followers , not the supposed “leader/ founder”

    post shared on Facebook claims that 20th century English novelist George Orwell once stated, “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
    No, Voltaire Didn’t Say That. No, Not That, Either.
    January 8, 2015 in Civil Liberties, Quotes, Speech

    In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attack yesterday a lot of people have been sharing this quote from Voltaire:
    “I don’t agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
    Unfortunately, the quote isn’t real — or at least, it’s not really Voltaire. It comes from a 1906 biography by Evelyn Beatrice Hall, in which it was intended to represent a summary of his thinking on free speech issues. “I did not mean to imply,” she wrote later, “that Voltaire used these words verbatim.”

    1. Bill, sometimes I think you trip over your own tongue. Trump will address the nation at 8 PM/CT tonight. Don’t miss it. Looks like he’s going to spell it all out. Excellent! Good news.

      moderated

      1. Likewise
        The so called truthers do not alsways speak the truth.
        There were no planes on 9/11, yet many truthers still say there were.
        Bin Laden died in 2001 not 2011 yet I hear people on Revolution Radio talking about the “real” Bin Laden was taken to Iran in 2011, and the one killed was a fake???? WTF
        I think these people at best are ignorant, at worst shills.
        Whatever the “TRUTH” is about TRUMP will become hopefully clearer.
        I want to know the truth.

      2. Yes. I know. TRUMP TO SPEAK AT 8 PM/CT TONIGHT ON NEWSMAX TV and perhaps other channels. SHOULD BE BIG.

      5. Jim, Thanks for the link. That’s the one I had found, but I see no hint of Trump. Is this suppose to be some kind of surprise?

      6. Amazon Servers control Parler. Amazon’s policy is to boot anyone off of Amazon if they speak truths…..remember that sad day, Jim?.

      7. 19 Novwmber 2015, the day amazon.com banned NOBODY DIED AT SANDY HOOK (2015) and the day I released it for free as a PDF.

      8. When I made a comment here in Nov. 2015 about Amazon censoring books, Jim’s in particular, I knew we were headed to exactly what we see now.

  6. In the event that Trump does nothing but hide for the next two weeks, the inauguration for groper Joe will be problematic— because nobody will be there.

    moderated

    1. I seriously doubt there will be an inauguration of the type we are used to from previous events. They’ll blame it on the ‘vid or whatever or use a projection screen. The real reason will be the likelihood of one or a few true patriots taking a shot at the miserable pos..

        Lt. General Thomas McInerney, speaking at the White House yesterday.

        He says white hats (good guys, part of special forces) got Nancy Pelosi’s laptop during the breach of the Capitol on Wednesday. He says she’s frantic, and this is why she’s pushing to impeach Trump

      4. I watched McInerney’s videos. Hmmm. I was really feeling gut shot the last couple days. Feeling so betrayed by every agency tracked with protecting us and now the Congress and Pence were just the icing on a shit cake. A few runs on Vail Mountain today helped get some fresh air in the lungs and clear out the negative vibes. I will try not to get too high on this piece of good news. So when the roller coaster pitched downward again I don’t feel so crushed. This reminds me of the emotional roller coaster of a Hollywood script… just when things are looking up, the next plot twist crushes your hero again

  7. From Stone….There was a time I might have rejected this as too outlandish….too insane….too bizarre….no longer in light of the events in the last few days. These madmen/women/golem/perverts will do anything to preserve their status (that status being pure, unadulterated EVIL).
    See what you think.

    PREDICTION: The MSM is harping about the nuclear codes because they intend to use nukes if Trump makes his move to bust them all, and they want him blamed.
    Where would the nukes actually come from? China and Israel, and perhaps Russia. Remember those really weird spiders that made temporary appearances in all major cities? Those were likely placed to ensure another nuke could be placed. Those made their rounds during that mysterious shortage of helium 3. You have to be an old timer on this site to remember that.
    Highly probable: They already have the fake launch video made, and have threatened to use nuclear weapons if Trump does anything more to put the election right. They are blabbering about the launch codes and how he’s not stable enough to have them because they intend to use the nukes themselves if necessary and want the public conscience and momentum already set against Trump if they decide to.

    RUMOR: Pelosi’s laptop was seized during raid on capitol

    THEY STARTED BLABBERING ABOUT NUCLEAR CODES AFTER THAT LAPTOP WAS TAKEN. THEY INTEND TO NUKE US IF TRUMP USES THAT LAPTOP TO ROUND THEM UP.

    Rumor has it that General Mcinerny is saying that’s why Pelosi is freaking out, trying to impeach immediately.
