NY Post Editor Behind Hunter Biden Laptop Story Testifies about Censorship

Emma-Jo Morris, the (former) New York Post editor who was behind the Hunter Biden Laptop story testifies before Congress on the depth of the censorship mechanisms put in place to protect the powerful in Washington.

She describes what was done to cover up for Hunter Biden, and "The Big Guy." The lengths the government went to in order to make sure that this information could be discounted. Here is a quote from near the end of her opening statement:

No one denies that the laptop is real, that the origin story is exactly what I told you it was in the first place. This elaborate censorship conspiracy wasn't because the information being reported on was false, it was because it was true, and it was a threat to the power centers in this country.

What this relationship between the US government officials and American corporations represent is an unprecedented push to undermine the First Amendment, the right to think, say, and read whatever we want.

The letter from "50 former intelligence operatives," the machinery of censorship at Twitter and F*c*book, and more is covered in the entire opening statement.

I'm sure that her whole testimony is somewhere, but I haven't had a chance to go and search for it.

Algorithms Are Hard - They Are Math After All

It is amazing how Instagram manages to police some things (like anything that contradicts the Green Narrative™, or COVID's origin, or ...), and seems to be blind to other things. Instagram algorithm boosted 'vast pedophile network': report

Instagram’s recommendation algorithms linked and even promoted a “vast pedophile network” that advertised the sale of illicit “child-sex material” on the platform, according to the findings of an alarming report Wednesday.

Instagram allowed users to search by hashtags related to child-sex abuse, including graphic terms such as #pedowhore, #preteensex, #pedobait and #mnsfw — the latter an acronym meaning “minors not safe for work,” researchers at Stanford University and the University of Massachusetts Amherst told the Wall Street Journal.

Hat tip goes to JP Sears and his video Instagram Censors You But Allows This?! One of his rare, non-comedy videos. It isn't a laughing matter, after all.

And because someone is sure to point out that Instagram is NOT F*c*book, a reminder: Instagram is owned by Meta, the same company that owns F*c*book. So what I want to know is how much money did Meta make off of this "network." And could that have any connection to why it wasn't shut down like people asking questions about the origins of COVID-19 were? Or were there people - in Meta or outside of the company - pushing to keep this active? We know the government was pushing Meta and Twitter and YouTube and Google and ... to censor anything that they didn't agree with. So how did this slip thru their fingers. Maybe they just don't care. Maybe they are part of the problem. I'm sure we will never find out the answers to any of these questions.

Video of French Knife Attack Censored

Can't have you seeing video that might prejudice you against the narrative. Put it behind a warning? Not good enough. This is something you are not permitted to see. ‘The video is being censored everywhere’ – Shocking video of Syrian migrant stabbing children on French playground deleted across Twitter

Twitter has mass deleted a video of a migrant knife attack in France that saw five children being stabbed on a playground

But Twitter and YouTube are not quite the monopolies that they think they are. And you can find the video on Rumble. Probably other places as well. (The link above has the Rumble video embedded in the page.)

The attack, which was covered by Remix News, shows a Syrian migrant racing around stabbing children, as a mother attempts to push her child to safety. According to press reports, at least five children were stabbed in the attack, including two adults. Two of the children remain in critical condition.

Twitter locked the Remix News account until they deleted a heavily editied version of the video. I wonder if they allow ANY reporting on the incident.

Why the highly newsworthy video was censored is open to speculation. Twitter routinely showcases graphic and violent videos, including police shootings, stabbings and other shocking content. However, the fact that this video shows a migrant stabbing small children, and the political implications of the event, which will likely fuel anti-immigration sentiment for a French population already furious over open borders, according to a raft of polls, could have led to intense pressure on Musk’s Twitter to censor the video.

Elon Musk Releases the Story of Twitter Helping Biden Over Hunter's Laptop

I don't have anything to add to this. Elon Musk Releases THE TWITTER FILES: How Twitter Collaborated With "The Biden Team" To Cover Up The Hunter Notebook Story | ZeroHedge

In a greatly anticipated Friday night drop of what has was expected to be a cache of information involving the censoring of Hunter Biden's notebook story days ahead of the 2020 presidential election, moments ago Elon Musk - who worked in collaboration with the notoriously independent gonzo journalist Matt Taibbi of "Vampire Squid" fame - has published the "Twitter Files."

Here's a link to the 2nd post in Taibbi's thread (there is too much noise around the first post.)

I will add one thing. When Elon Musk was about 40 minutes late publishing this, "Where's Elon" was trending on Twitter and at least 1 person posted "Elon didn't kill himself."

Censorship - Then and Now

This article takes a look at what is mostly the differences between the Right's attempts as censorship in the 1980s, and what the Left is doing today. Here’s What Dee Snider Misses About Cancel Culture 2.0

Rocker raises good points but ignores why his free speech fight differs from today

It isn't a bad article, though I'm sure people on the Left hate Hollywood In Toto. But the best part is the video, embedded below.

The Time Rock & Roll Saved Free Speech. This covers the Parents Music Resource Center, or PMRC, and their attempts to censor lyrics in Rock Music. Frank Zappa, Dee Snider (who is a teatotal, Christian) and John Denver stepped up to tell them they were insane.

Big Tech Censorship

You will not question The Party. Big Tech will brook no dissent against Black Lives Matter - spiked

Censorship has always been used by the rich and powerful to protect their own. So perhaps it’s not surprising that Big Tech has gone all in to spare the blushes of the multimillionaire co-founder of Black Lives Matter.

Both Twitter and F*c*book are censoring all stories about the BLM founder, Patrisse Khan-Cullors, going on a recent house-buying spree.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Statement From Second City Cop

via HeyJackass! Statement From Second City Cop.

Well, this was certainly a long time coming. Fifteen years, over 22,000 posts, almost two million comments and God knows how many attempts to silence us. But it might finally be over…at least this version of it.

Over the weekend, we received information from a contact at Google that internal chat/e-mails led them to believe that certain precautions we had taken over the years had been breached by Google. We had gotten similar warnings from others in the past, and we dealt with or ignored them as the situation warranted. But this one was different.

SCC was saying bad things about Democrats, and pointing out how the one-party state of Chicago was heading into the crapper. That cannot be allowed.
