This is a perfect example of the insanity we're living in. Those committing the crimes are calling them out. This in intentionally designed to obfuscate, confuse and ultimately make people give up any hope of clarity or truth. It doesn't work in the end, but when you're in it, what a f'ing drag. I can already hear my leftie-friends using this BS piece to prove to me how the left is not for censorship.
The Wall street Journal censors it's own subscriber's comments.
I used to be a WSJ paid subscriber. They regularly censored not just my comments, but I noticed comments by others with a conservative point of view would be disappeared. I non-renewed my subscription, and then progressively wrote the different layers of management to complain about their censorship and explain why I wasn't renewing. Silence. Finally got a reply from some low-level flunkie named Louise Story. She ignored what I was saying for a couple of cycles of emails. "We'd love to have you back!" When I finally got her to understand, she wrote me the WSJ doesn't publish defamatory comments. I replied, all the unkind things I wrote about the Democrat party were factual. "Defamatory" means "false." My comments weren't defamatory.
I'm not going to pay someone to censor me. Haven't paid to get through WSJ's paywall for years.
And another thing. Why is it whenever I open Microsoft Edge there are always slanted "news" stories? The bias of the "reporting" is obvious to anyone with half a brain.
You can't get away from Ministry of Truth agitprop just by ignoring their mouthpieces. They try to force-feed it to us.
Yes - and have you ever tried to “personalize” that page? It is reminiscent of Henry Ford’s quip about the Model T, “you can have any color you want — as long as it’s black.” In an age of RSS it should be dead easy to subscribe to feeds and truly personalize the page, but instead I merely get to select from Microsoft’s “curated” and pre-chewed food.
Yes, Steve, I have tried. I was determined to get rid of the propaganda.
It took a couple of hours of online searches to finally get the info on how to disable it. It can be done, but they seem to go out of their way to make it difficult.
Good on me. But how about those poor dumb bastards who get fed this stuff, and delude themselves into thinking they're informed?
Like you, I finally realized I could only disable it - not truly personalize it - and that meant several wasted hours I can never reclaim. It was truly disappointing to realize you could only "choose your shade of black" and were prevented from having anything approaching a true color palette at your disposal. So, I continue to just use My Yahoo as my primary portal [ironically, in part, because it allows me to suppress Yahoo! News ;-)]. It is one of the few homepages I have found that allows me true personalization with RSS feeds containing only what I want - not what Big Tech wants to push at me. In contrast, Microsoft has managed to deliver a product that is analogous to the USPS not delivering the mail, but instead "curating" what I get in my mailbox. It's utterly disgraceful.
Victor Davis Hanson, one of the outstanding historical minds we have, left the National review after publishing there for 20 years, for similar reasons. All the think tanks and publications I used to read are dead to me. It's invigorating and I feel freer now.
Same for me. When I allowed myself the freedom to really explore all those 'woo' subjects we were instructed were nonsense or "conspiratorial" I started my best education. Among the things I learned was how the CIA weaponized that word to undermine anyone who criticized official narrative of JFK's assassination as well as about Project Mockingbird, which never went away; it got bigger and bigger and now we're living with the results of the media take-over.
The Left has officially launched their “covid amnesia” campaign. After all, it’s an election year and their poll numbers are deservedly in the tank. Time to double down…their followers will believe anything their media tells them.
The article is excellent. There is no better way to describe the NY Times than to compare it to Orwell's Ministry of Truth. I do not read the NY Times but was not surprised to read how it has defamed and slandered Kennedy and attempted, by minimizing the success of his book, to stifle sales of the facts about the evil little weasel Fauci.
While I usually bristle at seeing promotions for products, I was excited to see the promo for Dr. Malone's book. I immediately pre-ordered it and I am confident it will be the #1 best selling book in June. I do not expect it to be reviewed in the Old Gray Lady or for its actual sales to be documented by the State-Run Propaganda Machine.
One of the oldest tricks in politics is to wrongfully accuse your opponent of what you yourself are doing - that way, the public will perceive his retaliatory response as tit-for-tat. The issue will have been neutralized.
Sadly, the entire world seems to have caught on to that trick. A few years ago, I heard a so-called "climate scientist" at Penn State pull the very same trick during a faculty chat with alumni. His opponents were dishonestly politicizing the issue, he claimed. This from a "climate science" department that was more proficient at bringing lawsuits than they were at producing accurate climate models. Having followed the global warming issue for years, I easily spotted the scam.
More recently, the "diversity, inclusion, equity, and climate change" committee took to censoring the academic work of the rest of the university on political correctness grounds. A professor was intimidated into removing his name and his contribution to a body of work for citing an academic theory that had long been accepted and recognized by the academic community at large.
Caveat emptor, when it comes to any academic research from Penn State these days. Theories aren't proof. If you don't like a theory, prove it wrong. That's how it has been traditionally done.
Not anymore. Penn State got caught with a hand in the cookie jar. Other colleges and universities? Proceed at your own risk.
I often wonder if any college outside of Hillsdale, Michigan is still attempting to educate young people. Everything I read about every institution (especially elite Ivy League schools) leads me to believe that that are all enriching themselves while indoctrinating our children and grandchildren to hate America, to believe the planet is dying, and that all white people are to blame for everything.
Remarkably savvy and academically wide-ranging in their selecting those who speak at a Hillsdale event. Via YT of all places, I've discovered many new voices and encountered many new thoughts on a wide range of subjects. Very much 'The Mouse That Roars' when it comes to academic truth-seeking these days...may there always be a Hillsdale!
They don't call it New York Slimes for nothing! Truth is the enemy of a Communist state. Stakeholder capitalism as outline in Herr Schwaabs vision of the great reset. In a more frightening developement, a lawyer working with Dr Fuelmichs Nueremberg case has been arrested in France on charges of terrorism and treason for seeking the truth! Virginia Recchia. Please say a prayer for her safety!
My view there is no communism as there is no one other than maybe a few hippies that wants to live equally in a commune. This is full on fascism, been going on for a long time.
I would change the date though to earlier, and even earlier than what this historian is focused on: I plucked this out of the link: the German Empire was founded on ‘blood and iron’ in the 1860s and 1870s, it was a firmly capitalist state dominated by big business, high finance, and a political elite utterly devoid of morality. These base qualities of the bourgeois world-economy and its other main exponents—Britain, France, and Russia, Austria-Hungary and Italy, as well as the middling and smaller European powers—expansion by any means necessary was the driving force. If possible, the main centres of economic and military power collaborated to loot and pillage the earth, as happened, e.g., in Berlin 1878.
Luckily I was never subjected to the NY Slimes growing up in Northern NJ. My father totally disliked the NY Slimes and that was 50 years ago. He was a smart man. RIP Dad.
So narrative management has been around for a long time. Maybe the desire to control allowable speech has intensified recently owing to the nature of social media, how it gives everyone everywhere a voice. It seems to be bordering on hysteria now, which might explain NYT claiming the opposite, they are reliably horrible.
Yes, a long time. Centuries. This current event comes out of desperation, a perception that humans are only a destructive force. But in realty it is this fascist system that siphons surpluses to the top that forces people to fit in to the destructive hierarchy.
When this flips the planet will need every human to help restore the natural balance (long explanation).
The fascists are fighting the laws of nature that can not be suspended for even a hundredth of a second. These attempts to sterilize the planet and humans has certainly changed the arrangement for harsher conditions and will turn against them, become harsher for them, than those working to integrate back into the biology. They will lose. They are the weakest people because of their sterilized lifestyles.
I often quip send them to Mars its already sterilized there for them!
Anyone can step aside from the hierarchy, I suggest starting with planting a garden. Next plant eight different species of productive bushes and trees. Think about the solar aspect, the shortest growers towards the sun. I am positively working this advice given to me and making gains to my health and well being.
Join me producing another system apart from the existing hierarchy.
Convoluted to serve the hierarchy by design certainly!
In some areas agribusiness has brought the system down so far it would take natural processes a thousand years to repair, And in most cases nature does need intelligent humans to help speed natural succession with positive fertility enriching design having the ability to grow food for humans and wildlife at the same time.
One backyard at a time if need be!
I know of these designs through participating in a Permaculture Design Course (PDC) based on Permaculture A Designers' Manual (there are variations of this PDC). But there are other people and organizations specializing in narrower geographical and climate influences, regenerative is a keyword for those farms now under the influence of the chemicals, they can convert. Others geared to growing more natural food that doesn't harm soil life (where the beneficial microbes live) can help out too.
An increasing amount of people are making gains right now. Use all of the financial gains made from this hierarchal system into producing a different living arrangement while you still can!
We don't have the billions required to fight this global coup d'état. We know this problem all too well, thanks to excellent reporting like this article. We must now focus on deceiving the deceivers...genius is our ultimate weapon.
Way to give the NYT “what for”!!! Bravo Mr Lyons for a well written piece! I will never forget their betrayal to the American public nor any other who have become “the Ministry of Truth” I would much rather support 20 independent and honest journalists any day than give one red cent of support to the likes of them!
At this point to continue to try and relate or understand the NYT's or any social media company in the context of fairness and the constitution is a fools errand. We need to stop playing the game and just ignore all of them.
I would characterize it as the Ministry of Subterfuge, Half-truths and lies guided by the embedded controllers from Big Pharma and the CIA and others with hidden agendas. Vitamin D is an essential hormone that controls about 3000 gene expressions. A few years back before Covid they did a hit piece on a Harvard physician whose research validated its importance for good health. Hit pieces on Vitamin D and half-baked research discrediting the true value are ongoing because it negates the need for drugs being pushed by Big Pharma. Covid would have been innocuous if everyone's Vitamin D blood value was above 50 ng's. CDC should have directed that all Covid patients be tested for Vitamin D deficiency. Cue Health has a Vitamin D
physician office testing device for real time evaluation of Vitamin D blood value. Instead, Cue Health has been marketing a Covid PCR testing device and is silent on the Vitamin D testing device.
Interestingly, in Canada, a few years back, they removed Vitamin D testing from public health coverage at the same time more and more evidence was stacking up as to how crucial adequate levels are to health. Moreover being so far North many are prone to deficiency. Also given our " progressive lurch to the left in Canada, with all the virtue signalling by our governments, there is no regard for the fact that it is the poor, minorities, the indigenous, and those with darker skin that are at greatest risk of Vitamin D deficiency, the decision to remove this important test, seemed well... evil. What good reason would our government have cutting out that test if it were not to ensure people who were deficient never knew?
If you go to www.substack.com and plug my name into their search engine, an article I wrote called "Why medicine Doesn't Understand the True Health Value of vitamin D". thomasabraunrph Essentially, if we took toxins out of our food supply and boosted
everyone's value of vit D to over 50 ng's, we would cut healthcare costs by about 2 Trillion dollars per year in the US. Bad move to keep the Corporate Medical Institutions profitable.
Same is true on the Covid crisis. Many lives would have been saved.
This is a perfect example of the insanity we're living in. Those committing the crimes are calling them out.

Agree. TPTB have tied up pretty much tied up all legacy media. Every once in awhile something slips past, but mostly everything should be doubted.

A work friend is looking at Alvernia University in Reading, PA - might be similar to Hillsdale.
NYTimes have just told how they support freedom of speech, openness, honesty, and truth. The next time they tell us 2 + 2 = 5….how can it not be true.

The Slimes is a tabloid staffed by clever writers who have little popular appeal and less integrity.
Definitely humorous less and smug. See no Comic section.
The NYT used to be called the Gray Lady. It is now the Gray Whore.
"I can't read the NYT anymore"
This was in a comment a few days ago and I agreed.
This is a paradigm shift: from the most trusted name in news, to another corporate shill
Like Big Pharma that thinks, or thought, that they could get away with anything and still be legitimate
NYT, WA Post, BBC, etc thinks, or thought, that they could join the Trusted News Initiative and still be legitimate
The collective that now views them as illegitimate is growing and it will be hard to climb back to legitimacy
So narrative management has been around for a long time. Maybe the desire to control allowable speech has intensified recently owing to the nature of social media, how it gives everyone everywhere a voice. It seems to be bordering on hysteria now, which might explain NYT claiming the opposite, they are reliably horrible.
So true. Twain: When you don't read the newspaper you're uninformed, when you do you're misinformed.
