"Here, I’ll ask another why question I think provides a tell about what’s getting ready to happen: Why is the Establishment still “all-in” on Censorship? Why haven’t these leaders and organizations raised the white flag on this (previously) anti-American project?"

Remember how I said the biggest bombshell in the Twitter Files isn't the Twitter Files themselves, but the fact that there's also a Facebook Files, a Google Files, a New York Times Files, etc etc?

These outlets know it. And they know that we know it.

How fast would a Taibbi/Shellenberger-led team uncover damning emails surrounding government-led censorship nearly across the board?

2 days? 3?

I would argue that most people want to keep their jobs, even if it is their job to censor people.

Look at what happened to the Human Rights Campaign after gay marriage was legalized nationally. They had to keep doing *something* to pay their bills, so they took up the trans issue - to the detriment of gays. They don't give a shit. They just need to pay the bills.

We saw the exact same thing when the drug war was winding down...suddenly these units got reassigned to 'human trafficking', which it turns out was just getting handjobs from the massage parlors before busting them for prostitution.

It did? Iodine, sodium oxybate, GBL, ephedrine, etc. are still illegal in Hatu. Perhaps you should inform the Utah Legislooture.

Bill - one of the first lessons of "logic" is to keep it simple stupid - and you do yourself no favors with this over-wrought article of complexity - I worked my way through it - but I think you have outfooled yourself - keep it simple bill - have a little faith - ok.

Good advice. I always start out staying I can make these points in 900 words ... and then the essay ends up ... 1,430 words. This is actually the short and edited version. Ha!

UPDATE: After I read your critique, I went back and cut about 75 words ... so the current revised version is a little shorter.

I should admit - I am a mean son of a bitch and I’ve shared the link I mentioned elsewhere - and I have intent to STOP this in it tracks - help out or not Bill - but some of us are on alert - and we don’t take kindly to exercises that all ought know are actually excuses - and so be aware - the Wolfpack are on alert and on the hunt - cause there ain’t going to be another 1/6 event this time and traitors will be hunted down and bought to justice.

Let me posit a third option - they don't really care if this one ends up being too big to rig - they know how deeply entrenched they are, how well they were able to stimie Trump the first time, with full collusion from the RNC swamp. And how hopelessly entangled most NPC's are in the matrix and how at least half the population will actively fight for their own enslavement, b/c Pravda inserted their emotional reasoning for them once again. DONT misunderstand me, they are absolutely ALL IN on the steal, but they also fully believe they can ride out DJT v2.0 and survive, since they can always activate another COVID scam - the whole globo-homo agenda backs them after all.

Another signal to me just this morning was reading Al Perrotta's column on "The Stream" that CKH is just about doing nothing in these last couple of weeks before the election. Trump is doing all the good and right things one would expect at this point before the big election, but good ol' CKH is doing "interviews" at NBC. So, my first thought when I read about this was that she is not the least bit worried about the outcome because she already knows what the outcome will be, regardless of what she does or doesn't do. Personally, I've always expected this election to be stolen, and like you, I hope to heaven I'm wrong.

Anyone who knows Trump at all says "Never underestimate Trump - NEVER".

IMO, of course they would keep censorship, they have no reason to get rid of it; after all, it's worked great for them for at least the last 125 yrs. due to large-scale newspapers. But I suspect Trump and white hats in military also have a trick or 2 up their sleeve. The day that JFK was murdered, the white hats in military formed Q forces. They have been planning the overthrow of deep state for a very long time.

Having watched Trump for 45 yrs, I can say that I saw a video interview of him in 1981 or so with Rona Barrett that was quite lengthy. In it Trump talked about the fact that he might well have to run for president one day due to the horrendous corruption in govt. He's a highly intelligent man - does anyone really think he isn't aware of the censorship and that he and military white hats don't have a plan or 2 of their own up their sleeve? Trump has recently stated that he has almost 200 MILLION votes for the upcoming election. I don't doubt him, I've seen lots of posts and info sites indicating that Trump may well be right. Trump has been working on this for at least 45 yrs, white hats have been at it for 61 yrs both of them are highly intelligent. The psychopaths running things love to think they are the smartest folks on the planet - but they aren't. As a therapist who had to diagnose my clients, I learned that vast majority of psychopaths are actually not very bright. Nor are they able to think outside their own box. In all the years I've watched Trump, he is ALWAYS ahead of his enemies and often I can't figure out what he's doing until awhile after events have unfolded and many folks NEVER figure out that Trump even made a move. If I were a betting person, my money would be on Trump and white hats.

The V.P. of Dominion stated in 2020, "Trump won't win, I'll make sure of that." After the election there was a huge amount of proof and evidence that 2020 was rigged. Nothing happened.

Well. I see many things right now that don’t make sense and it does seem strange the left is not sweating this at all. The obvious reason is the steal is in but have you thought of another scenario? What if Trump is really one of them and this is all a ruse to get conservatives and right leaners to feel they have won a victory here. If the awake ones let down their guard thinking they are now saved by TRUMP, WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY COULD KEEP DOING BEHIND THE SCENES….oops sorry for the cap lock. I get a very strange feeling this is all a big show and everything is already in place for them to get their NWO in place by 2030 no matter what happens with this election. God I hope I’m wrong and there is no way I’d write down Harris name but will the votes really matter either way? Pray for God to step in because at this point I truly believe He is the only one who can save us now. Get right with God people while you still can. You can agree or not but pls don’t get ugly with me for just thinking out loud. Again. I hope I’m dead wrong.

"No man ever went broke underestimating the ignorance of the American public."

It was the 1920s when that quote became famous. You're right, we've been dumbed down. But the public was bad off to begin with. As long as history has been written, it's been about the masses lining up behind leaders who take advantage of their gullibility.

It seems the Dem pundits are running scared. They are thinking they will lose. Maybe they will. Every time Cackles opens her mouth, they get nervous. Almost as nervous as she.

I also bet there are a LOT of silent Trump voters. They go to the ballot box and mark it for the man. But they say nothing to anyone about their choice because crucifixion awaits many people who cop to that stance. The Blue Anons are a vicious bunch. We will see. Odds betting still saying Trump is the one who will come out on top.

Have we learned from history so we are not doomed to repeat it? Have *they* learned from history so they aren't doomed to repeat the mistakes that led to the defeat of the global totalitarianism their New World Order represents? Will we accept that the Deep State has the right to rule after a stolen election...again?

Personal Responsibility Under Dictatorship

Hannah Arendt, 1964

https://grattoncourses.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/responsibility-under-a-dictatorship-arendt.pdf

https://hac.bard.edu/amor-mundi/obedience-and-political-affairs-2014-11-17

"But Arendt averred that it would be a “serious mistake” to forget that even totalitarian regimes “command and rest upon mass support.” The Nazi regime’s right to prescribe behavior (i.e., its authority) and its ability to act in concert (its power) depended on the continued support of relevant sections of the population. In this perspective, mass atrocities became possible because large parts of the German population came to accept that the Nazis had a right to rule."

FF - About that "German population accepting the right of the Nazis to rule" thing. Here's the election results they declared victory with and the German people accepted as Nazi legitimate authority to rule:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party_election_results

The last free election they held was in November, 1932. Only 33% support.

----The Reichstag Fire was in February, 1933. Followed by mass arrests and bans of opposition leaders and parties blamed for the fire - that Nazi's themselves set.----

Emergency election Nazis called in March, 1933. Only 44% support.

Followed by the November, 1933 election, single-party rule, 92% support.

But they never, ever received a majority in a rigged election. That was the last election in Nazi Germany where any true opposition was permitted. And a clear minority of Germans led that nation into World War II, mass murder of millions of Germans and occupied neighbors, tens of millions of deaths resulted, their nation bombed into rubble. Supporters and opponents of Nazi's alike killed and became killers.

Yet with 56% of Germans opposed to Nazi power - even in a rigged election with opposition candidates imprisoned for domestic terrorism/insurrection - the German people accepted that Nazis had the right to rule.

What has changed since 2020 that will change their mind about stealing another election? If the fix is in they're betting that nothing has changed that threatens them. They've got the surveillance police state and military occupation of a population of "insurgents" angles well covered - those long occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan were great training for that mission. So it comes down to what Hannah Arendt wrote. Will large parts of the American population accept that the Deep State has the right to rule? And consent to being ruled? Or will we disobey their attempts to rule and withdraw our consent, no matter what the cost?

More pieces about Personal Responsibility Under Dictatorship may help us figure out how to learn from history, so we aren't doomed to repeat it:

https://www.openculture.com/2017/01/hannah-arendt-on-personal-responsibility-under-dictatorship.html

"But although most people are culpable of great moral crimes, those who collaborated were not, in fact, criminals. On the contrary, they chose to follow the rules in a demonstrably criminal regime."

"People like Eichmann were not criminals and psychopaths, Arendt argued, but rule-followers protected by social privilege. “It was precisely the members of respectable society,” she writes, “who had not been touched by the intellectual and moral upheaval in the early stages of the Nazi period, who were the first to yield. They simply exchanged one system of values against another,” without reflecting on the morality of the entire new system.

Those who refused, on the other hand, who even “chose to die,” rather than kill, did not have “highly developed intelligence or sophistication in moral matters.” But they were critical thinkers practicing what Socrates called a “silent dialogue between me and myself,” and they refused to face a future where they would have to live with themselves after committing or enabling atrocities. We must remember, Arendt writes, that “whatever else happens, as long as we live we shall have to live together with ourselves.”"

Evil Comes From a Failure to Think

https://www.goethe.de/ins/us/en/kul/wir/tid/22701370.html

"She writes: “If the ability to tell right from wrong should turn out to have anything to do with the ability to think, then we must be able to ’demand’ its exercise from every sane person, no matter how erudite or ignorant, intelligent or stupid, he may happen to be.” Thinking does not belong to some rarified world of professional thought, and indeed thinking removed from the world, can turn people away from what is unfolding right in front of them."

I listened to a podcast today that said they will let Trump win the presidential election, but they will steal the down-ballot house of representatives elections so that there is a Dem majority in the house. Then the house will refuse to certify Trump. This is the scenario that Jamie Raskin laid out a few weeks ago.

Most people pay attention to election fraud on the presidential level, not so much on the rep. level. The regime needs to maintain the illusion that elections are legit (If a large majority become aware of the cheating, the regime will not be considered legitimate and that will be the beginning of the end for them) so they will not go for outrageous levels of cheating, just enough to squeak out a majority.

Bill, I love you and your logic - but, I think that even the Masters of the Universe imposing their Censorship Industrial Complex on the rest of us are fallible. Like Icarus they are capable of flying a little too close to the sun out of unchecked hubris and arrogance - only to see their wings melt. Let’s hope November 5 is their come to Jesus moment - at least on our side of the Atlantic.

You offer much to ponder, Bill. Thanks.

I think the ones behind the censorship are running scared. Things are profoundly different in 2024 than they were in 2020. Those (such as myself) who oppose the jab-em-all tyranny are now wise to their game, we are much better organized, networked, and seriously, deeply pissed off. A number of congressmen, senators, and state legislators are on our side now, fully awake to this catastrophic crime. Even within the government bureaucracies themselves, many good people are awake.

And while the government / Big Tech / MSM censorship may be powerful, truth has its way, like water poured into in a basket, of leaking out.

I think that whoever comes out in the presidential election (or comes out eventually) the sleepy jab-happy ones-- the ones believing what they see on TV, read in the mainstream media, and hear on NPR-- are going to get a shock to find out how very many people from all walks of life, all backgrounds, all social classes, all races, all regions, turn out and vote against their putrid regime.

I regret to say I agree.

There's been a brazenness in the Democrats' jihad against Trump and his millions of supporters.

The jihadists wouldn't behave that way if they were afraid of being caught.
