Censorship addicts: Democrats seek to squelch speech on banks
March 15, 2023
Concerned about your money after recent bank failures? You might want to keep those thoughts to yourself.
While some rushed to get their money after the collapses, at least one leading Democrat is pushing for censorship of those who do not have faith in the banking industry.
The Democratic Party for more than a decade has alienated many of us in the party with its embrace of censorship and speech controls.
Democratic leaders actively promote censorship on social media and vehemently defend government efforts to target citizens or groups.
Some have even adopted McCarthyite labels like “Russian lovers” to paint free-speech advocates as disloyal or dangerous in opposing censorship efforts.
Subjects from climate change to gender identity to COVID to elections have been gradually added to the list of prohibited thoughts.
Now Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) has put bank solvency on the list.
It is only the latest example of censorship’s slippery slope.
Kelly shows how censorship is addictive; it not only builds an increasing tolerance for speech limits but a decreasing tolerance for opposing views.
The immediate inclination becomes to silence those who challenge you or refuse to accept your “truth” on any given subject.
In a Zoom call this week with a couple hundred participants, Kelly asked representatives from the Federal Reserve, Treasury Department and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation about censoring social media to remove those raising doubts over bank solvency in the wake of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank crises.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) confirmed Kelly suggested “that government should work with social media companies to censor information that could lead to a run on banks.”
As in past censorship calls, Kelly reportedly cited the danger of “foreign actors” using social media — to undermine banks. It’s those pesky Russians again.
The list of subjects justifying censorship keeps getting longer.
In a critical November 2020 hearing, tech CEOs appeared before the Senate. Twitter’s then-CEO Jack Dorsey apologized for censoring The Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story but pledged to censor more people in defense of “electoral integrity.”
Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), however, was not happy. He was upset not by the promised censorship but that it wasn’t broad enough.
He noted it’s hard to define the problem of “misleading information,” but tech companies had to impose a sweeping system to combat the “harm” of misinformation.
“The pandemic and misinformation about COVID-19, manipulated media also cause harm,” Coons said. “But I’d urge you to reconsider” putting in place a “standalone climate change misinformation policy” because “helping to disseminate climate denialism, in my view, further facilitates and accelerates one of the greatest existential threats to our world.”
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) also warned he and his colleagues would not tolerate any “backsliding or retrenching” by firms “failing to take action against dangerous disinformation.”
He demanded companies keep using “the same kind of robust content modification” — the new Orwellian term for censorship — they did in the 2020 election.
History has shown censorship becomes an insatiable appetite. Once you silence opposing views in one area, opposing views in other areas become increasingly intolerable.
Rather than convince citizens that their deposits are safe, it is easier to just silence anyone who disagrees with you.
With Democrats’ vocal support, Twitter’s former censors recently revealed the standard they used to censor citizens.
Ex-Twitter executive Anika Collier Navaroli explained at a House hearing last month that Twitter tried not to just “balance free speech and safety.”
Rather, it asked “free expression for whom and public safety for whom. So whose free expression are we protecting at the expense of whose safety, and whose safety are we willing to allow to go the wind so that people can speak freely?”
Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) responded: “Exactly right.”

con't:
So now “the expense” of free speech is too high if it might undermine faith in our banks’ stability. It is that easy.
Parag Agrawal explained it years ago. After taking over as Twitter CEO, Agrawal said the company would “focus less on thinking about free speech” because “speech is easy on the Internet. Most people can speak. Where our role is particularly emphasized is who can be heard.”
The great civil libertarian Justice Louis Brandeis once warned, “The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.”
Sen. Kelly is now that man in seeking censorship to protect banks’ assets while leaving free speech insolvent.

Pentagon officials suggest alien mothership in our solar system could send mini probes to Earth
March 15, 2023
Pentagon officials said in a draft document last week that aliens could be visiting our solar system and releasing smaller probes like missions conducted by NASA when studying other planets.
A draft research report authored by Sean Kirkpatrick, the director of the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) and Abraham Loeb, chairman of Harvard University’s astronomy department was released on March 7 and focuses on the physical constraints of unidentified aerial phenomena.
“…An artificial interstellar object could potentially be a parent craft that releases many small probes during its close passage to Earth, an operational construct not too dissimilar from NASA missions,” the report read. “These ‘dandelion seeds’ could be separated from the parent craft by the tidal gravitational force of the Sun or by a maneuvering capability.”
The AARO was established in July 2022 and is responsible for tracking objects in the sky, underwater and in space – or possibly an object that has the ability to move from one domain to the next

Like they simulated a gas attack in Syria?
That was (allegedly was) a $32 MILLION DOLLAR TOY. Who's going to ante up? C'mon anons, for only hundreds a day you too can help the Potato.

If Putin doens't know anon will be happy to provide directions, driving distances, road conditions, points of interest, anything needed, anon stands at the ready
to watch DEM shitholes get vaporized
The answer is surgical strikes, get the US personnel (spies) offed and things should improve. Lob some assorted and sundry weaponry into the heart of the Deep State and make life a whole lot better for all concerned.
Maybe not spies per se, lets say, anthropologists on loan to various Ukraine biolabs…. financed by Potato Etal
>Statins that people take to lower "bad" cholesterol actually thin and weaken the walls of the heart…..heart failure then follows
They went hard after eggs shortly after they came for whole milk. The egg thing didn't take in anon's house, MomAnon was good for a blue plate special breakfast every morning. Anon wanted cereal but it was not to be. Anon wanted to take lunch to school, also a non starter, hot meals ya know.. I wanted those small brown sacks soooo bad..
I quit ALL pharma stuff a year, year and a half ago. Guess what happened/ NOTHING HAPPENED. Anon has had zero needle pokes in 5 years (I get the orders for a blood draw and I ALWAYS waltz on by and never stop, Doctor excorts me, I wait, Doctor leaves, I leave too.
>I was, at one time prescribed a statin
I was too but not for a medical condition, more of a "everybody's taking it" and I've never felt better than since I quit taking that stuff. Same with whatever the other thing does, Losartin? I lost all faith and confidence in medicine and I never had much to start with.
Increase your potassium and lower salt, add K2, per THIS guy.

I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.
>it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once
It makes anon kek just thinking about it. Some anon is a genius to have written it out.
FUCK OFF BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM
Anon just knew the indisputable, second to none Grammar Kitteh would approve.
This is disgusting, did they disclose what that cumulative dose of MERCURY does to infants?
This is exactly why the cute kid next door was born at home. Child is happy, healthy and unaffected by pharmaceutical meddling.
Just the correct amount it seems, I'm not sure I've ever been stoned enough to lapse into a great writer but it's a noble goal.
Mornin' Sam… missed bedtime yet again I did..

Unknown anon author needs to take a bow imho, every single line is masterful.
>atm, don't have any grand ideas on this
None are really needed, the "problem" is fictious (imo)
I don't participate in "bash the baker" but I see all.
Anime baker does a great job, it's the routine bitching and moaning with no baker volunteers.

no bueno imo.
God bless the bakers, BV/BO & Jim, tyvm
I considered looking at baking instructions and it was a lot. I barely get to browse the board let alone no table things. Outstanding performances by all who achieved creating a loaf.
God in heaven help them all if they try it. There's some beautiful architecture there
I would be the baker who never speaks, not a chance I could do both. I'd be like a fart in the night… silent… so silent…
Porn Stache week anon
Might add the breads were toasty fresh, no tables were guud, there was literally no problems (if you ignore the whining from the peanut gallery) and I think the baker offered up the bread per the sort of rule
God bless you too anon
