Is it Time to Throw Every Politician Out of Office Who Imposed Lockdowns?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease

Re-Posted May 29, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

There is a rising discontent against politicians who have scared the hell out of people using this virus. They did so without ANY justification other than a bogus old program from Imperial College, funded by Bill Gates, that used a stochastic to try to forecast the future like the child’s game Sim City. The polls are showing that 40% of Republicans are against these lockdowns and do not trust Bill Gates. Meanwhile, YouTube is in an all-out war against free speech. They will use any excuse they can use to remove content exposing the false evidence of this virus. Now, they are even supporting the climate change agenda as they removed Michael Moore’s documentary exposing the fake agenda of that movement. We have Twitter claiming it has a right to do fact-checking only on Trump. They do not fact check the WHO, Fauci, Bill Gates, or the CDC. We have Twitter entering political censorship if it disagrees with their political agenda.

Thailand has 56 deaths out of 69 million people. Japan has announced no lockdown as there were only 850 deaths 126.5 million. What they will NOT tell you is that the COMMON COLD is typically a coronavirus, which is very common! In the United States, colds are more common in the fall and winter, because of the tendency for people to remain indoors. Inside, air tends to be drier. Dry air dries up the nasal passages, which can lead to infection. Humidity levels also tend to be lower in colder weather. Cold viruses are better able to survive in low humidity conditions. Lockdowns are the opposite of health advice. You need fresh air.

A study has been leaked from Germany showing that there have been more deaths from the lockdown denying people medical services than there were by the fake virus. The death rate in Germany was 0.3%. Christian Drosten, who directs the Institute of Virology at the Charité Hospital in Berlin, was one of those who identified the Sars virus in 2003. As the head of the German public health institute’s reference lab on coronaviruses, he has become the government’s go-to expert on the related virus causing the current pandemic. He is the person responsible for destroying so many jobs and lives in Germany with his recommendation to shut down the economy. These people have no concept of the economy or people’s lives at all!

Nevertheless, we still have the left media trying to scare people to stay home to undermine the economy as much as possible. The New York Times wrote, “Models Project Sharp Rise in Deaths as States Reopen,” which are the same models that predicted 2 million deaths before! The question is WHY is the leftist press continuing to destroy the economy? What is their objective?

To further the climate change and support Bill Gates’ agenda to further vegetarian meat substitutes, which he has a huge stake in, he is advocating shutting down meat producers to lower CO2. We have actually Christophe Derrien, the secretary general of the industry organization in the European Union, pushing us to eat insects rather than meat as part of this climate change agenda. You really cannot make up this stuff.

In Germany, a couple was fined €1000 for taking a walk with their child. Meanwhile, in Italy: “Government hires tens of thousands of volunteers to control distance rules.” The pension systemhas cracked wide-open in Germany, necessitating tax increases all because of this overreaction to the virus by politicians without ANY regard for the economic consequences. Then people like New York Governor Cuomo hands out immunity like candy to nursing homes who donated over $2 million for his reelection. Even the sex workers in Switzerland are broke and starting to demand changes.

Just how far can these people push us before this turns into massive violence? Hopefully, the people will rise up and vote every politician out of office who has supported lockdowns around the world. They really need to be shown that accountability is important. Due to all of the economic destruction they have imposed, they will NEVER admit they were wrong. They MUST somehow keep in place what they proposed and continue to cite fake studies and models to pretend they were right. This is not going to go over well. The sooner these people are removed from office, the SAFER society will be. No politicians will now come out and even say “sorry” about that! They would rather start a war with China to retain personal power!

Are Prison Camps for Children Emerging?

The New Norm – Social Distancing Forever


Amstrong Economics Blog/Politics

Re-Posted May 29, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

In discussions behind the curtain, it appears that there is also a hidden agenda to embrace Bill Gates’ virus for the purpose of suppressing our freedom. The Marxist Socialist Model that took over the world beginning with the Progressive Era at the turn of the 19th century is collapsing.

 

The unfunded liabilities and the perpetual model of borrowing with no intention of paying anything back are all coming to an end. It appears that there are people who foresee civil unrest becoming the real new norm as people realize that all the promises cannot be fulfilled.

The high-tech companies are rushing to get into the new market of social distancing apps, which the governments are covertly supporting as they did with cryptocurrencies to get people accustomed to surrendering all freedom. There is a deep-seated suspicion rising against Bill Gates where 40% of Republicans believe he is using the virus to implant tracking devices in the population as he has done in India. Meanwhile, we have government fining people €1000 euros for breaking social distancing regulations by taking a walk.

The exploitation of this virus is transforming society into a prison camp, and is no different from what I personally saw when I went behind the Berlin Wall before it fell. We have an onslaught on free speech as YouTube has now removed Michael Moore’s documentary, Planet of the Humans, on the fallacy of Climate Change. YouTube claimed the video violated a copyright infringement made by the British activist Toby Smith who just wants any dissent suppressed and is against free speech when it disagrees with him. We know there is a civil war coming when people try to suppress free speech — that is always the end result of left-wing tactics.

There is also consideration behind the curtain in Europe to PREVENT capital flight from the euro to the dollar. Europe may now default on all outstanding debt, converting it to PERPETUAL BONDS that will never need to be redeemed, and only pay artificially low interest rates forever. They are also looking at making gold illegal as was the case under Roosevelt in 1933.

Anyone who thinks that politicians are actually representing them must still believe in Santa Claus. Within 30 days of issuing gold back-bonds, which were sold in small denominations to the public, the Congress, with a stroke of a pen, repudiated the terms of the bonds. Suddenly, gold was now illegal. The bonds you just bought, assuming they were secure against inflation, were suddenly devalued. Anyone who thinks Europe will not do the same when they have ZERO choices remaining on the table is simply delusional.

The “new norm” is directed at preventing an uprising. They could care less about some pretend virus with a death rate of less than 2%. This is the marked excuse and the mainstream media is there to sell the “new norm,” which is rapidly taking shape as the old East German system of divide and conquer. Even our children will no longer be allowed to play together at school. EVERYTHING is being reshaped into something much more like a concentration camp as we are denied the right to free speech.

Welcome to the real battleground for the 2020 election. This is going to get very ugly. We have Joe Biden calling Trump a fool because he does not see masks as effective. Of course, CNN facts checks only Trump, but they never check Biden. Fact-checking itself is becoming just propaganda relabeled.

There is little doubt that face masks will not protect people for they are touching all sorts of things. There were even two studies on face masks. One study examined the effect of masks on seasonal coronaviruses (which cause many cases of the common cold) and found that surgical masks are helpful at reducing how much of a virus a sick person spreads. The other looked particularly at SARS-CoV-2 and found no effect of either surgical or fabric masks on reducing virus spread, but only had four participants and used a crude measure of viral spread.

COVID Madness – Montgomery County, Maryland, Provides Nonsensical Rules for Opening…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on May 28, 2020 by 

On a regular basis, long before the Wuhan virus surfaced, Maryland was always one of the most leftist and regulatory states in the nation.  So it doesn’t come as a big surprise to see officials in Montgomery County, Maryland, present some of the most nonsensical rules to reopen their economy.  [Quite Remarkable Video Announcement below]

Pictured: Montgomery County Residents Listen to County Official Marc Elrich

After an extensive study and review by local scientists and public officials, you can go to a barber shop and/or beauty salon and get your “hair styled”, as long as the ‘styling’ doesn’t involve the actual cutting of the hair.   Apparently, in phase-1 the COVID virus can identify when scissors are present and the virus will attack with increased severity.

You can go to a church, as long as the going to church doesn’t involve the actual going into a building that would be identified as a church.  Worship services can only be provided outdoors, because the virus lurks in the building…… unless the building contains vegetables and is called a supermarket, and then the virus cannot enter the premises.

According to the local scientists who have analyzed the risks, you can now wash your car; however, it is only safe to wash the outside of the car.  If you attempt to clean the inside of your vehicle the virus will hunt you.  Interior car cleaning is forbidden.  No actual word on how you get your vehicle to a car wash without being inside it… but minor details are still a work in progress and will likely be addressed in phase-2.

You are now permitted to open retail businesses, but you cannot sell things from inside retail businesses.  Apparently the Maryland officials have discovered the virus is building and content specific. Therefore retail sales can safely happen at the curbside of the building; but patrons are forbidden from entering the establishment.

Purchasing a new pair of pants becomes less dangerous when the pants are not in a building.  Unless, duh, the building sells vegetables and pants, and then the virus doesn’t attack the pant purchaser because they are protected by the surrounding vegetables.

You are allowed to open and attend daycare and summer camps, as long as the camps remain outside.  During phase-1 of the opening, if a spring and/or summer storm starts, it is less dangerous to run around dodging lightning strikes outside – than if you were to enter a building or cabin where the virus is waiting to attack.

Given the hair salon scissor restrictions, in combination with rules for summer camps, running with construction scissors outside while dodging lightning is another undefined detail.  However, if you happen to be picking vegetables, you are immune from being attacked.  Vegetable picking inside or outside with scissors is therefore allowed.

Restaurants are allowed to open, but again all actual eating of food must take place outdoors.  To accommodate this safe dining approach, restaurants are encouraged to put all their tables in the street.

The Montgomery County dept. of transportation is organizing road closures to assist with the roadway dining.  So you might not be able to drive to where the restaurants are, but the outdoor dining experience should justify hiking to your table for the asphalt ambience.

Now, right about this point, if you are a person of reasonable constitution, you’re probably thinking this is so ridiculous it cannot really be what the Montgomery County plan is; all I can say is please watch the two short videos below.

Montgomery County executive Mark Elrich was visibly frustrated and perplexed that local citizens did not appreciate the wisdom of the panel of COVID compliance scientists that put together the reopening plan.  His announcement was a little less than well received.

WATCH:

The local news outlet did their best to help make sense of the madness; but judging by the looks on their faces, well…. I digress.

Weekly Jobless Claims Add Another 2.1 Million, Revised First Quarter GDP -5%…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on May 28, 2020 by 

The Dept. of Labor released weekly unemployment data showing an additional 2.1 million workers filed new unemployment compensation claims last week; bringing the total claims to over 40 million since the Wuhan virus mitigation effort shut down the U.S. economy.

However, there is some good news within the data.   The “continuing claims”, meaning those who have been collecting unemployment compensation for at least two weeks, is now at 21 million.  That’s a drop of almost four million from the prior week and signals that jobs are returning as the state economies begin reopening.

Additionally, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) released the second estimate of the first quarter Gross Domestic Product.  The estimate moved the prior contraction of -4.8 percent slightly lower to a newly revised estimate of -5.0 percent.

With the first quarter at -5.0 percent (Jan, Feb, March) and a guaranteed much larger contraction in the second quarter (April, May, June) it is now a certainty we will officially be labeled “in a recession” when the Q2 numbers are released on the last Friday of July.  The media is using the data lag to narrate, and drag-out discussion of negative economic news, as long as possible.

There are some indicators the rebound will be strong (home sales, housing starts, mortgage applications, consumer confidence) but the key to both a wide and deep recovery is putting people back to work as quickly as possible.

(CNBC) First-time claims for unemployment benefits totaled 2.1 million last week, the lowest total since the coronavirus crisis began though indicative that a historically high number of Americans remain separated from their jobs.

Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for 2.05 million. The total represented a decrease of 323,000 from the previous week’s upwardly revised 2.438 million.  (read more)

Videos on Bill Gates and his Handmaiden Dr. Anthony Fauci and Their Plan to Reduce the Word’s Population that Google doesn’t want You to See!


Bill Gates was a ruthless businessman and used any means legal or not to achieve his goal. Ho he accomplished that is not the story here but the bottom line was after he retired he created a 501(c)(3)  Foundation, The Bill & Melisa Gates Foundation twenty years ago in 2000. The stated goal was the created an illusion that this foundation was created to help the poor and destitute of the world, nothing could be further from the truth. The foundation started off with $46.8 billion and Gates started giving large grants to implement his stated goals.

No one knows exactly how much money Gates gave away but it was, without doubt, tens of billions of dollars over the past 20 years. Gates made sure the world knew what he was doing through his extensive publicity efforts. However strangely the latest financial records of the foundation indicates that it’s assets are probably worth over $100 billion today. So it would seem that Gates was doing more than giving away grant money. So what was his real purpose of this foundation?

Initially his focus seemed to be on Climate change and how it was imperative that we stop using carbon based fuels that were creating Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and that was causing the temperature of the planet to increase and that that increasing temperature would in the near future destroy civilization itself.  Gates was not alone in this believe as Al Gore the former President Clinton VP was also on board with this idea. I became aware of this is a famous TED talk where Gates indicated that that to get to zero emissions of Carbon Dioxide production my humans would have to go to zero. Later it became obvious that this college drop out was not educated as he was being influence by those that followed the dis bunked theory of Tomas Malthus found in his 1798 book An Essay on the Principle of Population, Which basically stated that the growth of the population would out strip the ability to feed it and that would create famine and war. 222 years later, today, we know that was not true.  But Gates apparently does think it is true and it seems that his REAL GOAL is to significantly reduce the world’s population.

The following bits of videos will show that Gate and Fauci (a hired hand of Gates) probably created this COVID-19 pandemic in Wuhan China and hid its release in China and the World Health organization until it had spread world wide. This two both need to be tried for Crimes against Humanity for example from a NIH 2005 study, that found that “Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread.” Fauci has been rejecting the use of this and has been preaching the Gates vaccine solution. The report stated:

“We report, however, that chloroquine has strong antiviral effects on SARS-COV infection of primate cells. These inhibitory effects are observed when the cells are treated with the drug either before or after exposure to the virus, suggesting both prophylactic and therapeutic advantage. In addition to the well-known functions of chloroquine such as elevations of endosomal pH, the drug appears to interfere with terminal glycosylation of the cellular receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2. This may negatively influence the virus-receptor binding and abrogate the infection, with further ramifications by the elevation of vesicular pH, resulting in the inhibition of infection and spread of SARS CoV at clinically admissible concentrations.

 

Conclusion

Chloroquine is effective in preventing the spread of SARS COV in cell culture. Favorable inhibition of virus spread was observed when the cells were either treated with chloroquine prior to or after SARS COV infection. In addition, the indirect immunofluorescence assay described herein represents a simple and rapid method for screening SARS-COV antiviral compounds.”

Newsom Continues to Bully the Church Despite President’s Directive

Newsom Continues to Bully the Church Despite President's Directive

L.A., California—In an attempt to continue state surveillance of churches because of COVID-19, Governor Newsom of California has all but ignored President Trump’s directive to allow churches to reopen without interference from the state.

At a press briefing on May 22, the president made it clear that governors and state officials were given until the weekend to lay off the churches by allowing them to reopen without restrictions and regulations.

“I call upon governors to allow our churches and places of worship to open right now,” the president said. “If they don’t do it I will override the governors.”

The president said nothing about allowing continued restrictions but ardently defended religious groups that are demanding a full return of their religious practice in church. “The people are demanding to go to church and synagogue,” he said. “Many millions of Americans embrace worship as an essential part of life.”

Fake Compliance

While feigning compliance to Trump’s directive by merely allowing churches to crack their doors open, Governor Newsom,  in league with the California Department of Public Health,  issued a ruling on May 25 stating that churches “must therefore limit attendance to 25% of building capacity or a maximum of 100 attendees, whichever is lower.

So, the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles that accommodates 3,000 people must now limit attendance to 100 people, or a church that seats 100 people can only allow 25 people to come and worship. If this isn’t unveiled discrimination against religion, what is!

Here the liquor stores, supermarkets, and pizza parlors are brimming over with activity with virtually no restrictions imposed while the church is being oppressed and put in the doghouse because Newsom and state bureaucrats want to make fun of religion.

The president indicated that basic common sense measures to adopt such as social distancing and use of face masks should be up to the churches to decide for themselves, but Newsom and state officials have set themselves up as political deities to impose their own set of socialist ‘commandments’ on the people.

Key prevention practices being imposed on houses of worship by the governor include:

  • Physical distancing to the maximum extent possible
  • Use of face coverings by employees, volunteers, and congregants/visitors
  • Frequent hand washing and regular cleaning and disinfection
  • Training employees and volunteers on these and other elements of the states COVID-19 prevention plan

Moreover, the state’s new guidelines strongly recommend “discontinuing singing, group recitation (e.g. the Rosary after Mass), and other practices and performances” and that churches “modify practices such as limiting the number of people reciting or singing, ensuring physical distancing greater than six feet between people.”

The state furthermore advises “modifying practices that are specific to particular traditions” which include “discontinuing kissing of ritual objects [relics]” and “offering Communion in the hand instead of on the tongue.”

Heinous Violation

The state has no right making such recommendations or imposing juridical rules, as they are blasphemous and violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, i.e. Separation of Church and State, which prevents the state from interfering with the church. The governor’s ruling is loaded with regulation and constitutes a gross intrusion upon the church—something President Trump did not ask for.

The state ruling says that “This limitation will be in effect for the first 21-days of a county health department’s approval of religious services” after which “the California Department of Public Health, in consultation with county Departments of Public Health, will review and assess the impact of these imposed limits and provide further direction.”

This conceivably could mean that the state could tighten up on its surveillance of churches or even close churches if state officials deem that the first 21 days weren’t effective enough in stopping the spread of COVID-19.

At the May 22 briefing, Trump told states to get off the churches’ backs, but instead the State of California is bombarding churches with rules and recommendations, which if heeded, would scarcely give the faithful a moment to focus on their religious duties. Their attention would now be taken up with a whole new set of rules as if a new state religion had come along to replace that of Christ.

We can only hope that President Trump will double down on his May 22 statement by making it the law of the land that states from henceforth are prohibited from imposing rules and regulations on churches. This would not only restore our freedom of worship but would gain him more votes from the people and many more blessings from above!

Pandemic, Plandemic, or Both? (Part 6 – Last in Series)


There is much left to address concerning SARS-CoV-2, best seen clear in the rearview mirror

Pandemic, Plandemic, or Both?What do you see in the picture above? Is it the eye of a rabbit looking right, or a bird turned left? Or, both? The same is asked when looking at the SARS-CoV-2 ordeal.

Review of Part 5 Takeaways

  • Conventional wisdom among the Scientific Community—a first cousin of the “Intelligence Community” – never took HCQ seriously as a contender for the role of interim mitigator of virus symptoms until a proven vaccine comes along.
  • Proponents of HCQ, regardless of some very impressive résumés, are treated as kooks by the established science experts.
  • The chief scientist of the World Health Organization recently announced the suspension of HCQ trials because they’re too dangerous, WHO says.

Marshaling an army of “Contact Tracers”

The Grand Re-opening of America may be accompanied by one or more efforts to marshal large groups of contact tracers, tasked to map a new wave of virus victims. Several such efforts are being discussed.

One by-product of the home quarantine of “non-essential” persons, regardless of age, could be the hunt for fresh victims in a second wave of infections. Herd immunity was never given the chance to be established.

The Scientific Community anticipates a new wave of virus victims coming after the nation opens up to normalcy. Some suggest The New Normal will require diligent monitoring of the population, with no end in sight.  And, their thinking is, such monitoring is best done by those trained to trace people with whom the newly infected are/were in contact.  Hence, contact tracing.

On April 18, Bill Clinton and Andrew Cuomo talked contact tracing in the context of a virtual gathering of the Clinton Global Initiative University.

Let’s listen in on their unrehearsed discussion concerning contact tracing, relying on the C-SPAN transcript of the 40 min. video:

Cuomo: (24:19) “We need tracing agents in the hundreds and hundreds of people. You take a trace test – you take a test and then trace back the contact. This has never been done on this scale. This is an army of investigator and tracers, we will do that the best we can with this seven-state consortium, but it could have been done from the federal government on a tighter and more efficient {sic}.” (Cuomo listed six of the seven in northeastern state “consortium”: New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.)

Clinton: (24:50) “I agree with you on this, this contact tracing is very important, and it could have enabled our entire country to have a real public health system, a real public health corps (indiscernible) could we make this a part of the current treatment? Is there some other way we could do it?  I’m worried (indiscernible) that they’re trying to get a state contact tracing core, you have to get bodies in there, and they have to be safe while they are tracing.  You cannot just show up in your jeans and t-shirts.  You have to really know what you are doing when you are going into these neighborhoods and trying to run these needs down. Do you think maybe you could get the governors to ask congress to fund that? Or maybe we can spend some of the money, but we need a national core of healthy people who are trying to go out and do contact tracing. We need bodies.”

Partners in Health (PIH) is already engaged with one state in Cuomo’s consortium.  As of May 12:

“Partners in Health was recently selected by Massachusetts governor Charlie Baker to conduct Coronavirus ‘contact tracing,’ a process that involves teams of investigators finding out who infected people have come into contact with. The group is already ‘training and deploying hundreds of contact tracers.’ Some citizens fear the potential for mass surveillance posed by contact tracing, especially in light of a Democrat-introduced bill in Congress to authorize contact tracing ‘at individuals’ residences.’ Partners In Health’s involvement will not assuage many fears, considering the group has received funding from George Soros and Bill Gates organizations and counts Chelsea Clinton on its board of trustees.”

PIH’s 2017 Form 990, posted on Guidestar.com, reported their annual revenue as $127,157,823.

On May 1, in conjunction with the move toward contact tracking, 45 House Democrats, led by Rep. Bobby Rush (IL, 1st Dis.), proposed HR 6666, entitled “Covid-19 Testing, Reaching, and Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act.” The Bill was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

HR 6666’s stated purpose is: “To authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to eligible entities to conduct diagnostic testing for COVID–19, and related activities such as contact tracing, through mobile health units and, as necessary, at individuals’ residences, and for other purposes.”

The Bill, a short read, is found here. It suggests $100,000,000,000 (not a typo) funding for fiscal year 2020; and, of course, “such sums as may be necessary for each of fiscal year 2021 and any subsequent fiscal year during which the emergency period continues.”

A population under observation needs immunity documentation

Politico.com announced, on April 10, that:

“Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, revealed Friday the federal government is considering issuing Americans certificates of immunity from the coronavirus, as the Trump administration works to better identify those who have been infected and restart the U.S. economy in the coming weeks. ‘You know, that’s possible,’ Fauci told CNN’s ‘New Day,’ when asked whether he could imagine a time when people across the country carry such forms of identification.”

“‘I mean, it’s one of those things that we talk about when we want to make sure that we know who ‘the vulnerable people are and not,’ he said. ‘This is something that’s being discussed. I think it might actually have some merit, under certain circumstances.’” (bolding added)

In a related comment noted by NPR, Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC), said:

“People are looking at all the different modern technology that could be brought to bear to make contact tracing more efficient and effective. Are there more, if you will, say, tech savvy ways to be more comprehensive in contact tracing versus the old-fashioned way? You know, currently, these things are under aggressive evaluation.”

How far and how deep might this future medical surveillance go?

On May 12, Dr. Anthony Fauci dropped a hint when testifying before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions in a hearing about reopening America. He said:

“There’s no guarantee that the vaccine is actually going to be effective.”

Think of that comment as the bookend of an earlier one Fauci made at the Georgetown University Medical Center just a few days before the Inauguration of Trump. Fauci’s speech was titled “Pandemic Preparedness in the Next Administration.” He said:

“There is no question that there will be a challenge to the coming administration in the arena of infectious diseases.”

“No question?” None? How did he know that for sure?

Series Conclusion

There is much left to address concerning SARS-CoV-2, best seen clear in the rearview mirror. For example:

  • How did the reactions of Blue and Red state governors vary?
  • How did America’s religious organizations react when the Government closed them?
  • What can we say about the role of the print, internet, televised, and social media?
  • Is there a “new normal” ahead, and what is it?
  • What is the impact on public and private schools, of all ages?
  • What happens the next time there’s a virus event?
  • Was any traditional American freedom sacrificed never to return?
  • How did the nation view the leadership of Donald J. Trump?
  • And critical for geopolitical issues: Why and How did the virus originate?

Regarding the question in the series’ title – “Pandemic, Plandemic, or Both” – that’s for you to answer.

This remains, despite all, a free country.

Twitter—The Big Lie Of Our Time


Meanwhile, If anyone should be “fact checked” or censored, it should be Twitter.

Twitter—The Big Lie Of Our Time
You can get away with calling on wing-nuts with specifics on a lethal way to murder the president of the United States on Twitter as deranged comedian Kathy Griffin just did—but will be flagged by Twitter ‘fact checkers’ for posting tweets that call mail-in ballots “fraudulent” and predicting that “mail boxes will be robbed” if you’re President Donald Trump.

“Comedian and perennial Trump antagonist Kathy Griffin is advocating for the physical assault of the president, tweeting that she wants someone to stab the commander in chief with a “syringe with nothing but air inside” — a potentially lethal act if it creates an embolism. (Breitbart, May 27, 2020)

Physically threatening?

Physically threatening?  How about calling to the cause someone who would kill or assassinate the president?

“Physically threatening the president of the United States is a federal offense. Physical threats also constitute a violation of Twitter’s terms of service that can result in permanently getting kicked off the platform. (Breitbart, May 27, 2020)

“We will immediately and permanently suspend any account found to be posting violent threats,” the social media giant says on its official site.”

Oh, yeah? Then how come Griffin’s Tuesday Tweet with a most descriptive means to take down the President of the U.S. is still riding high on Twitter Wednesday morning?

“For the first time, Twitter has flagged some of President Donald Trump’s tweets with a fact-check warning. ( Yahoo, May 27, 2020)

“On Tuesday, Twitter added a warning phrase to two Trump tweets that called mail-in ballots “fraudulent” and predicted that “mail boxes will be robbed,” among other things. Under the tweets, there is now a link reading “Get the facts about mail-in ballots” that guides users to a Twitter “moments” page with fact checks and news stories about Trump’s unsubstantiated claims.

If Twitter calls Trump’s claims on the legality of mail-in-ballots. “unsubstantiated” then they must be “unsubstantiated”.

“Until now, the president has simply blown past Twitter’s half-hearted attempts to enforce rules intended to promote civility and “healthy” conversation on its most prominent user. Trump frequently amplifies misinformation, spreads abuse and uses his pulpit to personally attack private citizens and public figures alike — all forbidden under Twitter’s official rules. (Yahoo)

In a statement, Twitter said Trump’s vote-by-mail tweets “contain potentially misleading information about voting processes and have been labeled to provide additional context around mail-in ballots.”

“Over the weekend, the president issued several tweets calling into question the legality of mail-in-ballots. The storm of tweets followed Facebook and Twitter posts from Trump last week that wrongly claimed Michigan’s secretary of state mailed ballots to 7.7 million registered voters. Trump later deleted the tweet and posted an edited version that still threatened to hold up federal funds. (Breitbart, May 27, 2020)

“Twitter policy forbids sharing “false or misleading information intended to intimidate or dissuade people from participating in an election or other civic process.” While it has previously flagged tweets, it has never before put warnings on tweets for any other reason.

“Trump replied on Twitter, accusing the platform of “interfering in the 2020 Presidential Election” and insisting that “as president, I will not allow this to happen.”

“His 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale said Twitter’s “clear political bias” had led the campaign to pull “all our advertising from Twitter months ago.”

Twitter says in its terms of service that “you may not threaten violence against an individual or a group of people. We also prohibit the glorification of violence.”  The company said it defines violent threats as “statements of an intent to kill or inflict serious physical harm on a specific person or group of people.” (Breitbart)

“Federal law states that individuals who physically threaten the president can face up to five years in prison.

That’s the latest political Twitter antics in the U.S.

“Twitter Canada is listed as a sponsor in the Trudeau Foundation Annual Report…now we know why anything “Trudeau Bad” doesn’t stay on the viewable trending list for long. #CDNpoli. (Twitter)

That proves more than anything else that Twitter’s not just the social media platform for people to deposit their cute, humorous or even vitriolic, evil little messages—but a massive political force in action.

Meanwhile, If anyone should be “fact checked” or censored, it should be Twitter.
