Are we being subjected to a concerted effort to limit our freedom of speech and to think critically?
Watch this postFirstly, the Nigel Farage de-banking scenario, I’m no supporter of Farage but I do respect his actions in this case; what right has a bank to effectively censor an individual – especially a failed bank that in 2008 required significant taxpayer support? Its role is to provide banking services, perhaps it needs to be reminded. However, the thought does go through my mind that the Government remains the major shareholder and Farage has been a thorn in their side.
Youtube’s censorship of Covid 19 discussion by their misinformation guidelines remains in force. If we are on war footing, as it could be argued we were during the pandemic then restrictions of free speech are regrettable but acceptable; however, we are no longer in pandemic mode and now is the time to reflect and improve. Who decides ‘what is the truth’ ? According to the guidelines it is ‘….local health authorities or the WHO. ‘ However, the covid pandemic was a novel event without a playbook, are they the fountain of all knowledge getting it correct first time, I doubt it. That is in addition to the influence of the World Health Organisation funders.
A US Court on 4th July 2023 issued an injunction restricting the Biden administration from influencing social media to moderate their content, including covid matters. Perhaps I am not alone in my concerns.
Pharmaceutical products have adverse effects, to say otherwise is clearly incorrect, yet we have senior medical professionals stating that the novel Covid bivalent vaccine is safe eg ‘ Professor Sir Munir Pirmohamed, chairman of the Commission on Human Medicines, an independent body sponsored by the DHSC to advise ministers on medicinal products, said the vaccine was safe to use.’ He is not alone in this assertion. The flippant and unqualified use of the word ‘safe’ gives the impression that all will be safe if they take the vaccine, yet this clearly is not the case from the experience of using past novel mRNA vaccines which have caused serious adverse reactions and death - determined by autopsy. Using Western Australia figures at 11 mins Excess deaths with Senator Rennick - YouTube there were 270 adverse effects from 2 million traditional vaccines while almost 11,000 adverse effects from 4 million mRNA covid vaccines.
Similarly, the concept that statins and other medications prevents heart attacks and stroke needs to be qualified – it reduces the risk it does not totally prevent and the original risk that is being modified could be quite small. Further examples of censorship included the pressure not to report serious adverse effects of the mRNA vaccine as reported Australian Senator Rennick at 8mins Excess deaths with Senator Rennick - YouTube. If it happening in Australia where else is it occurring? It is of note that the proposed UK 2023-24 flu vaccines do not include a mRNA vaccine.

Nurturing a safe environment

We don't tolerate swearing, and reserve the right to remove any posts which we feel may offend others... let's keep it friendly!
WE, the people, not the WHO, the CDC, or any other agency or institution, decides what the truth is. Here in America, we are facing a severe crisis, as one of our political parties is deliberately destroying the 1st Amendment, while the other is going along (one party is anti-American and the other is greedy enough to agree to anything for money, except for the MAGA wing) -- so really, most of both parties are doing their best to destroy the country, and we have no one (well, almost no one) representing US.
It's getting very dangerous, with Hillary Clinton last night suggesting "re-education camps" for those who question the government's point-of-view...also this week, supporters of President Trump were officially declared violent domestic terrorists. Trad Catholics are called terrorists, as are pro-lifers; they're being hauled off to jail (but illegals walk across the "border" freely. .
I came here looking for someone who is either MAGA -- meaning seeing the greatness of Western civilization and wanting to save it -- or open-minded,not nasty to those with traditional ideas as many are these days, because I'm looking for a companion for a cruise. it's a political thing with a lot of discussions and activities (no one has to go to them, but that's the theme.) --only 500 people on a small ship, so none of the trips should be sold out -- and it's all inclusive, too!
.It's a cruise of the British Isles hosted by a trad, American talk radio host -- witty, sharp and funny -- but only appreciated by those who share those politics or who are open-minded. It's the trip of a lifetime for me because of the politics (can hear host Chris Plante, the host, on WMAL, out of D.C., on the net; the music (Led Zep! Beatles!), lit (Tolkien! C.S. Lewis! Flatland! Lewis Carroll!), history (taught English and social studies), heritage (Dutch, German, Irish and Welsh) --
But I've had a hard time learning the site-- and looking for someone older but hopefully thinking and acting younger -- I think I do, and I guess it's 'cos I spent my 20s singing in rock-and-roll bands)...and my husband would have to share a Zoom call or three to get acquainted, too, of course, since he wouldn't exactly be mad thrilled if I went with a platonic male "companion," but after 3 years, he knows I'm not going anywhere (except to the British Isles if I'm lucky, but so far, it doesn't look that way.)
Anyway, all this has very little to do with your comment, it's just that it was so refreshing to read a comment about Farage and someone worried about our losing our rights. Guess reading your comment brought something out in me. Anyway, wanted to answer your last question:
YES, it is happening in America BIG TIME! So many don't pay attention and don't even know it or believe the corporate news, who are in on it and lie with no shame and think the half of the people (at least) who support Trump and traditional America are a violent mob trying to overthrow the government (Thousands are in jail as political prisoners -- do other countries even know that?). But those of us who know are praying desperately that they wake up. We are in serious trouble.
Chat back if you like, and I'll no doubt send another rant or two, since it's worrying me/making me angry right now. Let me know if you know any nice older ladies (?) anywhere who'd like to join in on the cruise.. Ive opened an encrypted email at proton.me for anyone interested in it.- too bad you already live there and have prob been everywhere there is to go, since I've only had one nibble about it.
And Silver Surfers--let me know here or at the other email (if they're allowed to post it) if you're interested..
Eml address is: [email protected]. Only those who open an account can send and receive encrypted messages there.
Sorry this was so long. You are right on about covid and censorship. Take care. Jen ,
