Thoughts?

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

   Chris Murphy, D Connecticut, commenting on Alex Jones : ...

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

Source for the Murphy quote?  (Not the Becket quote.)

That's a pretty damning utterance if Murphy actually said it.  I understand Comey said that in reference to President Trump, and while it is merely rhetoric, one must look at its background.

It is attributed to Henry II of England, which led to the death of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1170. While it was not expressed as an order, it caused four knights to travel from Normandy to Canterbury, where they killed Becket.

See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becket_(1964_film) for the local flavor and a discussion of its historical accuracy.

Quote
(Transcribed from feakazoid's image source)  All it would take to shut down online censorship is a halfway-decent lawyer arguing that these left-wing Big Tech companies are literally violating the Constitution.

Lotsa luck with that.  All these things are subject to subjective definitions.  To a genuine Leftie, his (and his lawyer's) opinions are all mainstream and his struggle is against the suppressive might of the right wing agents of censorship and propaganda.

Go ahead, "prove" otherwise with your lawyer.

(Be nice if feakazoid could provide a quotable text copy of that article instead of an image.)

I heard some discussion the other day about this.  If someone wanted to set up a youtube alternative, giving people like Alex Jones uncensored access would help get them off the ground and get viewers.  That may already be happening, I havent heard.  I know there are several youtube alternatives out there already.

Already there on Bitchute.

Sorry. The image was posted up in a facebook group. Looks like it's a screenshot of a post from 4chan or something.

Oh, it was CNN that lead the charge to get Inforwars and AJ deplatformed.  (Again, obligatory "I don't listen to, read, and/or watch AJ/Infowars, but I will defend to the death their right to speak in the public square". statement)

Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.

Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,

Reading through that reminded me that CNN went after the guy who created a meme about them.

Yep, that's "Journalisming" in the 21 Century.....  CNN has gone on to be activists.

I dunno.  Somehow it seems to me that you tube and facebook, etc., have achieved the status of public utilities, despite their private ownership.

I mean, Colorado Light and Power can't shut me down just because of my political vi

I'm pretty sure that underlying all this is the thought that if it came right down to a bangy war, they'd find plenty of banging assistance from other lefty-left wing countries just itching to "help out."

Like France helping the Colonies during our Revolutionary War.

Woe to you who think the anti-gun/anti-2A movement is purely a domestic issue.

It's now gone beyond social media. Master Card has strongarmed Patreon into removing Robert Spencer.

This has serious implications.

Alex Jones news
Article is 20% info on what happened, 80% AJ is a right wing nut. But it's AP, I don't expect anything different.
