Why BigTech are State Actors & Violate our Civil Rights


Armstrong Economics Blog/BigTech Re-Posted May 27, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

As many know, I lived in London years ago. At the upper end of Hyde Park by Marble Arch, there is Speakers’ Corner. That is where anyone could stand up and talk about anything that they wanted. You were free to listen or just walk away. There would often be a crowd, and that was not an indication that they agreed. It simply meant that the topic was curious, worth listening to or just entertaining crazy talk.

Speakers’ Corner even shows up on Google Maps, showing that this is indeed a landmark. What is important about this is that Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube, especially those who claim to be public forums, also claim they have the right to censor what you say or even think. Section 230 only gave them immunity from suit because someone posted something another did not like. In that context, it was a reasonable grant of immunity. It would be like suing the city of London because someone at Speakers’ Corner said something that offended you.

You cannot be a public forum by deleting people and canceling anyone you do not like. Speakers’ Corner in London is what these forums were supposed to be. If someone is a Nazi and hates Jews, so be it. They have a right to say that just as the rest of us have the right to shake our heads and walk away as in Hyde Park. It used to be an easy world. If someone was talking to themselves walking down the street, we just looked at them as being strange. We didn’t run to the police screaming we were offended by what the crazy person said. Today, people are walking down the street and talking perhaps to themselves, but then again, maybe they have an earpiece for a phone. Life has become much more complicated. Now it seems the crazy people are in charge of the forums in BigTech and they are saying we no longer have the right to free speech.

Facebook whistleblowers have leaked documents detailing the effort to censor vax concerns on a global scale secretly. None of this is legal for Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube all have connections to the left side of government and that means that they are acting in violation of the Constitution under the pretense of being private when in fact they are acting as agents of the state. This needs to go to trial and the jury will decide if these people are state actors. If so, then they are violating every principle of the Constitution.

The removal of Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier from the U.S. Space Force this month after he publicly stated his opposition to Marxism and Critical Race Theory is part of a very dangerous new wave of censorship that is transforming the United States into East Germany under the Communists. Speakers’ Corner was the very core of a free society which once stood in contrast to Communism and authoritarian forms of government. This is precisely what these people are resurrecting — the worst of human history.

Vaccines Are for Sheep?

COMMENT #1: Hello Marty,

I hope you are well.

We are living in a “crazy” world. Some states are desperately trying to bribe people to get their poisonous shots. Here in Ohio, there is a program called, Ohio vax a million, where Ohio residents can have a “chance” to win a million dollars or full ride scholarship to the OSU once you get the vaccination! This program is led by the Ohio Department of Health!

Stay healthy.

COMMENT #2: While NYC is bribing people with a 5 Million dollar lottery in Toronto, Ontario they are bribing children with free ice cream. At 3:00 minutes an emotional standoff between mothers and the police at Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto.

COMMENT #3: Marty, It’s amazing how the capitalist system has become so distorted, used by business and government alike, to manipulate people like lab rats. The failure of the vaccine campaign now is evident for all to see. The “carrot or the stick” approach.

States are rolling out lotteries to get people to get the jab, to boost vaccines, supposedly allowing the government to relax restrictions on business and schools, to get back to normal. In businesses, some are threatening loss of jobs; others are providing time off, other incentives, to encourage their workforce to get vaccinated. The threat of job loss is illegal, but it doesn’t prevent them from using this to induce action.

Airlines like United are offering free flights to those vaccinated. Now city governments like that in Chicago are segregating those going to restaurants, those who can dine who are vaxxed, free to dine and move around, and those unvaxxed, segregated.

You can’t make this stuff up! At some point, all those who wanted to get the jab, and those motivated by financial incentives, will have gotten it. Leaving more than half the population unvaccinated. Then what? Any bet Biden and state governments mandate more policy actions aimed at intimidating non vaxxers, using those already vaxxed as their hammer? Yes, “you didn’t do what we told you, now you all will have to pay the price…” Doesn’t this open the door for one segment of society to attack the other, with the government acting as agent encouraging them to do so?

I’m beginning to think the loss of confidence you describe will come when government actions, like promoting violence, and threatening later to force people to get vaccinated, will be the last straw. They used the capitalist system to induce action; now, they will use their raw power and weapons produced by the same system to destroy it.

REPLY: It seems that all the Northern Democratic states are adopting the same attitude. New York has also created a lottery for $5 million, but that has not been successful. You really have to wonder what is so important about this vaccine for a virus with a 99% survival rate? Are they simply using the vaccine to launch this Great Rest, and it failed, so they now must get authoritarian and erase all our rights? Something just does not add up.

In 1968, politicians were bribed back then as well to force everyone to get vaccinated. Poland refused to join, and the press said they would die by the tens of thousands. In the end, Poland’s death toll was 145.

Are the vaccines just to make money for the drug companies that pour unlimited amounts of bribes into Washington?

It is time to end lobbying. All elections should be paid for by the taxpayer. A candidate must raise enough signature support to qualify, and then they all get the same amount for a campaign. Then and only then will we end lobbying. ANY politician that takes ANY gift for them or their family belongs in prison. There should also be term limits, whereby one time you are in and then out. Max should be 2 years for a term in the House or Senate. End career politicians. This entire vaccination nonsense is untrustworthy because we have no idea what the drug companies are handing anyone on the side, and our lives depend on it. All the claimed fact-checkers are biased and just push more propaganda.

Twitter Warns Indian Government to “Respect Freedom of Expression” – Beyond The Hypocrisy, Big Tech is Now Telling Global Government What is Permitted Propaganda

Comrade citizens, pay no attention to the blatant propaganda inherent in this latest expression from the almighty Big Tech globalist alliance unit at Twitter.

Ignore the stunning hypocrisy of telling a foreign government to respect the “freedom of expression” from a platform that arbitrarily censors and deletes the “expressions” that do not align with their politics.

Be a good comrade and do not pay attention to the scale of hubris for a company to threaten a foreign government and publicly take the position that Big Tech Twitter is more important and powerful than the billion plus citizens and elected government of a sovereign state.

All your governments are belong to us.  Yes, quite remarkable but completely in-line with their outlook of self-importance.

(New York Post) – Twitter on Thursday said it is worried about the safety of its staff in India and called for the government to respect freedom of expression, days after Indian police visited its office in New Delhi over its labeling of a tweet by a governing party spokesman as “manipulated media.”

Twitter has been involved in a tense battle with the Indian government, which has often asked it to restrict content alleging Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration is trying to silence criticism, including of its handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

Twitter said it has “concerns with regards to the use of intimidation tactics by the police” and “the potential threat to freedom of expression for the people we serve.”

India’s IT ministry called Twitter’s statement “totally baseless, false and an attempt to defame India.” It said Twitter should “comply with the laws of the land” instead of “dictating what India’s legal policy framework should be.” (read more)

Fauci’s Function Funding


Posted originally on GrrrGraphics on MAY 24, 2021 AT 9:52 AM

The waffling Dr. Fauci once claimed COVID-19 originated naturally. Now he’s saying it could have been concocted in a bioweapons lab in Wuhan, China. 

It was Fauci who led his National Institute of Health. He ordered grant money be given to the Wuhan Lab through an intermediary. US taxpayer money was sent to the Wuhan lab to assist them in gaining function in the virus that became COVID-19. That’s what they did at the lab. They were figuring out ways to make viruses more contagious and dangerous. The money was sent to China despite a moratorium against such dangerous research and despite the fact that the communist party there has been interested in developing biowarfare techniques to use against the United States.

The mainstream corporate journalists shamefully did not investigate the origins of the virus. They simply accepted the word of a stooge such as Dr. Fauci, who has smilingly played his role as the resident expert in science. Fauci enjoys the limelight, but his science is suspect. He claimed masks did not work. Then he recommended they be worn, even though science proved they cannot prevent the virus. Then he recommended two masks. Then Rand Paul challenged him and he went back to saying masks did not work.

Why has Dr. Fauci changed his tune about the origin of the coronavirus? Perhaps because he has carefully covered his tracks in advance. Others will be assigned the blame. If the virus did escape from Wuhan, then their safety protocols were severely lax. Why? Perhaps the Chicoms ordered the release and infection that spread around the world. This enabled the Socialist Democrats to steal the election through mail-in ballot fraud. President Trump stood up to the Chinese, and he had to go. The communist party in China preferred Joe Biden and they bought him and his son out in advance. This is the sort of thing journalists should be investigating. Instead, the corporate media regurgitates whatever the CIA, corrupt government, and globalist oligarchy tells them.

Dr. Fauci should be thrown under the bus along with his ally, Bill Gates. Both should be tried for crimes against humanity. Instead, they will use their money and influence to remain above the law. Some lower-level stooge will take the fall.

Florida Takes Action at Last Against Social Media


Armstrong Economics Blog/Censorship Re-Posted May 25, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

I hear the whispers – Ron DeSantis for President. Indeed, he seems to be the ONLY politician who understands the gravity of what is taking place in America. He now signed legislation that allows Florida to impose fines on social media platforms that ban users with ever-changing guidelines and clear outrageous bias. The bill (SB 7072) exposes the absurdity of how they “de-platform the president of the United States but you let Ayatollah Khamenei (Iran’s supreme leader) talk about killing Jews, that is wrong.” The left will never point out how they singled out Trump but left hateful speech from other nations untouched.

The bill demands that social media companies must publish standards with detailed definitions of when someone would be censored or blocked. It further makes Twitter, Facebook, and other online companies subject to as much as $250,000 daily fines for de-platforming a Florida candidate. Personally, I would have made any such decision that cannot be justified as criminal.

Additionally, the bill requires a site to notify users within 7 days that they could be censored, giving them time to correct a posting. The bill passed on virtual party lines which just goes to show that the Democrats want social media to ban all those who oppose them. They cannot see that they are deeply dividing the nation and under these circumstances, people are not simply going to be subordinate to their demands.

I will be selfish – I prefer DeSantis to stay here in Florida. In Washington, the SWAMP will devour him as it did to Trump The only thing that will EVER reform Washington seems to be (1) a revolution of (2) a nuclear bomb. Washington is just too far gone at this stage for us to even hope in vain that we can elect ANYONE who would actually change anything. The bureaucracy is now in full control and they are NOT about to let anyone change the system of power in Washington, DC.

The corruption is too pervasive and it reminds me of the epitaph on Rome by Edward Gibbon. After all, it was his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire that influenced the Founding Fathers wrongly into thinking that a Republic was better than a Monarchy.

“Her primeval state, such as she -might–appear in a remote age, when Evander entertained the stranger of Troy, has been delineated by the fancy of Virgil. This Tarpeian rock was then a savage and solitary thicket; in the time of the poet, it was crowned with the golden roofs of a temple, the temple is overthrown, the gold has been pillaged, the wheel of Fortune has accomplished her revolution, and the sacred ground is again disfigured with thorns and brambles. The hill of the Capitol, on which we sit, was formerly the head of the Roman Empire, the citadel of the earth, the terror of kings; illustrated by the footsteps of so many triumphs, enriched with the spoils and tributes of so many nations. This spectacle of the world, how is it fallen! how changed! how defaced! The path of victory is obliterated by vines, and the benches of the senators are concealed by a dunghill. Cast your eyes on the Palatine hill, and seek among the shapeless and enormous fragments the marble theatre, the obelisks, the colossal statues, the porticos of Nero’s palace: survey the other hills of the city, the vacant space is interrupted only by ruins and gardens. The forum of the Roman people where they assembled to enact their laws and elect their magistrates, is now enclosed for the cultivation of pot-herbs, or thrown open for the reception of swine and buffaloes. The public and private edifices that were founded for eternity lie prostrate, naked, and broken, like the limbs of a mighty giant, and the ruin is the more visible from the stupendous relics that have survived the injuries of time and fortune.”

The Magnet Challenge


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted May 25, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

nanoparticles are being used in medicine

YouTube took this down. The censorship is becoming anti-American. They do not remove cults on Satan or alien abductions, but they remove anything that challenges COVID. Why? The only explanation is that they are trying to suppress the truth. These people in BigTech are conspiring against the people themselves, and anyone who is injured from a vaccine should start a class-action lawsuit against YouTube and Twitter, for starters. The drug companies may be immune, but not these people for deliberately putting out propaganda that costs lives. I would love to see all the emails, promises, and payoffs that have taken place not to mention “donations” for foundations.

The whole magnet thing has many claiming to “debunk” such things as fake. Anyone doing so is a threat to the nation. This is at least a fair test showing some yes some no. This raises questions is a portion of the vaccines really just a placebo to hide the real dangers? Who knows? There is no real independent verification of anything and this does not inspire confidence.
