What Happened to Internet for All?

Internet

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris campaigned on a promise to connect Americans to high-speed internet. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act set aside $42.5 billion to the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program. “What we’re doing is, as I said, not unlike what Franklin Delano Roosevelt did when he brought electricity to nearly every American home and farm in our nation. Today Kamala and I are making an equally historic investment to connect everyone in America to high speed internet, and affordable high speed internet, by 2030,” Biden stated. To date, no one has been connected to the internet under this program.

Roosevelt Baking Cartoon

Biden is correct that he has acted like Roosevelt insofar as creating countless social programs and encouraging Americans to become dependent on the welfare state.  The $42.5 billion actually rises to $90 billion when we factor in the Affordable Connectivity Program. Kamala Harris was tasked with overseeing the Internet for All initiative, but she has done absolutely nothing to help the program progress. “While Republicans in Congress have refused to help us revive this program, our Administration is refusing to let them stop us from delivering for families across America,” Harris stated this past June.

Harris believes she could solve the problem if endless funds were made available. She did nothing with the initial investment and continues to ask for more funding despite having nothing to show for the BILLIONS invested in these Build Back Better programs. We recently saw the same fiasco with FEMA misplacing billions, claiming its budget toppled, and then blaming the Republicans for not blindly handing them more funding.

Harris consistently factors in race to her social programs and has supported the Digital Equity Plan than will prioritize internet access to minorities first. Divide and conquer.

These establishment politicians believe that we will be fulfilling Agenda 2030 by the time every American household is expected to have internet access. Perhaps that access will come with government backdoor access and state-of-the-art censorship, allowing the powers that be to disconnect us from the worldwide web with the click of a button.

Facing FCC Investigation CBS Finally Responds to Accusations of News Manipulation


Posted originally on the CTH on October 21, 2024 | Sundance 

The FCC is investigating CBS for blatant manipulation of news. [SEE COMPLAINT HERE] CBS really has no defense.

CBS has been caught producing, via editorial manipulation, two entirely different responses to the same question.

Everyone has been asking CBS to just simply release the full transcript.  CBS has refused.  The assumption is now about the manipulative content of the broadcast being so extreme that to release a transcript would be even worse than what is already known.  The FCC complaint is simple and accurate, which is likely why CBS has never attempted to defend itself, until today.

CBS – Former President Donald Trump is accusing 60 Minutes of deceitful editing of our Oct. 7 interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. That is false.

60 Minutes gave an excerpt of our interview to Face the Nation that used a longer section of her answer than that on 60 Minutes. Same question. Same answer. But a different portion of the response. When we edit any interview, whether a politician, an athlete, or movie star, we strive to be clear, accurate and on point. The portion of her answer on 60 Minutes was more succinct, which allows time for other subjects in a wide ranging 21-minute-long segment. (Statement Link)

It is likely CBS will, eventually, release the full transcript. However, not until after the election. It is remarkable how CBS is willing to destroy any semblance of brand image that may have been left; but that position is merely just a reflection of our 2024 political situation.

Consciousness – Can A Computer Come Alive?


Posted originally on Oct 19, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Federico Faggin is a physicist and inventor of the microprocessor & touch screen. He, too, explains how he attempted to create a neural net back in the 1980s and came to the realization that no matter what the movies portray, there is no such thing as Artificial Intelligence that would be Consciousness. As I have said, I created Socrates in the late 1970s and used my children as test subjects to interact with it and have a conversation. My daughter would bring her friends over and tell them her computer talked to her. I caused a bit of a stir among other parents, who asked me what I was doing.

I wrote a program to interact with my children and taught Socrates how to be a politician. You could have a conversation with it but if it did not understand, it would just change the subject. I mimicked Consciousness, but I could not create it. It would just record answers like ChatGPT. What is the name of your dog? When my daughter would return to the computer, it would simply ask how is your dog by name. From the outside, you thought it was alive. One day, she came home, and I had it apart, and she started crying, thinking I killed it.

Federico discusses that he came to the same conclusion. It is absolutely impossible to create an AI system that will suddenly come alive and achieve Consciousness.

No matter what we do, no robot will ever come alive – It is not going to happen!

Brazil’s War on Free Speech

Brazil Global Government Affairs

Brazil’s Supreme Court lifted the ban on X, formerly known as Twitter, after the platform paid out $5.2 million in fines for spreading disinformation. Brazil’s sudden ban on the social media platform should act as a warning to the rest of the world that governments are prepared and ready to silence the freedom of speech without a second’s notice.

Twitter Directed by Government

Justice de Moraes was particularly concerned that X CEO Elon Musk was hesitant to ban accounts deemed offensive by Brazilian authorities. He attempted to freeze all of Elon Musk’s businesses in Brazil from X to SpaceX. Musk closed X’s Brazilian office in response, and accused Justice de Moraes of being a “criminal of worst kind masquer as a judge,” for attempting to stifle free speech.

Musk said that he would use SpaceX to provide free internet service to all Brazilians impacted by the ban. In response, the Brazilian government froze all of Starlink’s finances. The government even considered confiscating those frozen funds and using them to pay X’s fines. So even a man as powerful as Elon Musk who has both the ability to provide internet AND a free social media platform was banished by government.

Why not use a VPN? Well, the government was willing to bankrupt anyone who attempted to access the website by threatening them with a $9,000 DAILY fine. Brazil’s National Telecommunications Agency forced Apply and Google to prevent Android and iOS users from accessing X.

Now, Brazilians compose the sixth-largest market for X with over 21.5 million users. Losing Brazil was a huge loss for the platform. Musk eventually agreed to pay $5.2 million in fines to Brazilian government and will begin to block individual accounts – he was forced to cave.

Governments will “lose control” is free speech on social media is permitted, as Hillary Clinton said. This is a global phenomenon and every platform has been infiltrated by governments. Expect authorities to continue asking for more control over these platforms as they cannot risk the people questioning the mainstream media’s narrative.

Sunday Talks – JD Vance vs Martha Raddatz: “Do you hear yourself talk, Martha?”

In a very revealing ABC This Week interview Sunday, ABC host Martha Raddatz attempted to carry water for the Biden/Harris administration, when she said, “only a few apartment complexes were taken over by Venezuelan gangs” in Aurora, Colorado.  JD Vance began his rebuttal by saying, “do you hear yourself talk, Martha?”….  The exchange quickly went downhill from there as Martha realized she just stepped on a rake.  WATCH:

FCC Fast-Tracks Soros’ Purchase of Second-Largest Radio Conglomerate

Coincidence?

The three voting Democrats on the FCC board overpowered the two dissenting Republicans. Law dictates that foreign companies may not own more than 25% of US radio stations. They are not only making an exception for George Soros but helping him to bypass the law.

It typically takes a year for the FCC to conduct a national security review if not longer. This is the first time that the commission is blindly ignoring this regulation and permitting Soros to control the majority of US radio airways.

Some claim that the FCC was permitted to act in this manner due to Audacy falling into bankruptcy. Commissioner Nathan Simington explained to Fox News why this is untrue: “Commission leadership tried to approve the item at the staff level, with nothing but a 48-hour notice to Commissioners on a summer Friday. There is almost no factual record on the item because there was almost no attempt to do a real public interest analysis,” Simington continued. “Not a single Commissioner outside of the Chairwoman was invited to even think about the issue until staff was directed to handle it on our behalf without our votes. That’s the true ‘fast-track.’”

This will permit Harris and Walz to carry out their mass censorship goals seamlessly. The radio stations are a mere fraction of the media that Soros owns, but the FCC-backing shows that corruption comes from the top. Harris has repeatedly questioned the validity of the First Amendment by demanding that all dissenters be silenced. We saw Walz drunk with power during COVID lockdowns when he set up a hotline to ask neighbors to report one another. There has never been a strong big government, pro-censorship duo on the US ballots. They both believe “misinformation” is a larger threat to the public than the failing economy, energy crisis, war — the list goes on. They need utter submission from the public, which will begin by removing our access to information or varying opinions.

George Soros will own the second-largest radio group in the nation. George Soros and his son Alex have said that their main focus was preventing a Trump victory. The FCC has become an establishment tool of propaganda that is actively working to silent conservative voices while pushing out the false narratives created by those on the left.
