Apparently there have been many UFO sightings in the last week..including Canada...and no one is talking about it....this kind of stuff use to be big news...now no one cares.


Nobody trusts the governments they didn't dutifully elect.



There is no way that the people in charge are legit these days.



People in charge in the last 50 years were fucked up but not AS fucked up as now.



There is no representative democracy, republics, rule of law, anything.



Just digital voting booths and paid for media pushing the results.

Blahhhhhh...

If there was any doubt that the Twitter Files have struck a nerve and deep fear in the Powers That Be, Thursday's disgraceful behavior by Democrats in a hearing featuring journalists Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger eviscerated it.  



Taibbi and Shellenberger had not even uttered a word yet when the Ranking Member of the House Judiciary subcommittee Del. Stacey Plaskett, D-U.S. Virgin Islands, referred to the witnesses as "so-called journalists" in her opening statement. The pair glanced at each other, clearly surprised and confused by the utterly unprovoked attack.



From there it only got worse, Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-TX, asked the pair of scribes if they were being paid to testify, again to an absolutely shocked response from them. She went on to try to force Taibbi to reveal information about his sources, a journalistic Rubicon he rightfully refused to cross.



Other Democrats accused them of wearing tin foil hats, and intimated in ugly language with clear disdain that they were only in it for the money, not to discover the truth about our federal government pressuring Twitter to censor Americans' speech which was the reason for the hearing.



The chilling message, and one meant for all journalists, was crystal clear: if you report uncomfortable facts that Democrats don't like, they will attack you and try to discredit you and your work.



The irony of course is that it was just this kind of pressure and censorship of the media from the federal government that the committee was investigating with this hearing in the first place.  



Just as the FBI and other federal agencies sought to shame and shut down the speech of journalists and scientists by directing Twitter and others to label reasonable dissent as disinformation, these Democrats, unable to make real arguments, maligned the messengers instead.



This is a wake-up moment in which Democrats made plain that they view censorship of journalism as not only a good thing, but necessary to protect us all from foreign election interference, or racism, or climate-change denial. First Amendment be damned, free speech thrown under the bus to "protect" us from these alleged emergencies.

Twitter became a dangerous source of misninformation the minute they stopped acting as one of the many propaganda arms of the Dems.
