You Can't Silence Us

How much did that cost?

Wharton did a study that found people are happier when they make more money. No shit. They needed a STUDY to know that people making enough money so that they can pay bills, live in a nice house, and buy nice things makes them happy?

I am betting that this study was done at taxpayer expense. I wonder how much it cost, and how happy that made the people that had to pay the taxes to fund it.

Up next: The government lowering taxes and leaving people the fuck alone makes them happier, too. Right after that, they can study the last election to figure out how Biden got votes in the middle of the night while no one was looking.

1A: a threat to Democracy

The New York Times says that the First Amendment is a threat to Democracy. Oddly, it was published on January 6, which is a convenient coincidence. How fortuitous. Almost like the events of that very evening were planned.

Five days later, the Financial Times takes it a step further and demands that the media censor companies like Fox News:

the president’s supporters were using both mainstream and more niche platforms to plot further violence. That justifies moves by Apple, Google and Amazon to restrict access to Parler, the “alt-tech” Twitter alternative beloved of the radical right.

There is definitely a movement underway to squash free speech.

War on its citizens

The Democrats are all singing the same song- they are declaring war on anyone who doesn’t agree with them. See the Democrats (in their own minds) represent all that is good and decent, so opposing them makes you evil. Here is a list of stories:

Thousands of voices silenced

The left not just going after blogs and social media- they are now going after podcasts as well. The powers that be intend to shut down all media that is not state approved. See this report here.

I think it is obvious now that Qanon was a false flag operation designed to look as crazy as possible, so that its existence could be used to silence alternative media. We are now seeing that come to fruition.

I was trying to listen to conservative talk radio on Sirius and on Blaze TV, but the hosts are all suddenly saying that the election wasn’t as bogus as we thought, and that “we will get them next time.” Conservative talk has been brought to heel. Alternative media is all that is left.

Even if you don’t contact me, find an alternative server now, or your blogs and podcasts may be gone forever. An XML backup is no longer sufficient, as Blogger and WordPress no longer support migration by XML.

Democrat forever voting act

Congress will start early. They have introduced HR1, a 791 page act that will allow anyone to vote, same day voter registration, registration over the Internet, no ID requirement, and vote by mail without signature or any other verification of identity in order to vote.

Like I have been saying: If you think that the Communists will EVER lose another election, you are fooling yourself. Sure, a few token “tame” Republicans (Murkowski, Romney, etc.) will win an election here and there, so the Dems can claim “bipartisan support,” but the game is over.
