Peter Hitchens: ‘The Lame-Stream Media Seems To Have Checked Its Brains In Somewhere And Forgotten The Ticket’

talkRADIO: Columnist Peter Hitchens has criticised the media and opposition parties for the way they scrutinised the government’s handling of coronavirus. Speaking with talkRADIO’s Mike Graham, the journalist said:

“Minds have completely closed to the possibility that this might have been a mistake.”

COVID-19 Is The New "Terrorism"

'Politicians will never resist the temptation to use crises as excuses to gain more power.'

Authored by Dr. Ron Paul: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has proposed the next multi-trillion dollar "coronavirus relief” spending bill that will support testing, tracing, treatment, isolation, and mask policies that have been part of a “national strategic plan” she has been advocating. The Trump administration is not opposing Pelosi’s plan on principle. Instead, it is haggling over the price.
But, even if the strategic plan could be implemented at little or no monetary cost, it would still impose an unacceptable cost in lost liberty.
Pelosi’s plan will lead to either a federal mask mandate or federal funding of state and local mask mandate enforcement. Those who resist wearing masks could likely be reported to the authorities by government-funded mask monitors. We can label this the “Jewish Israel” approach to health policy, after the infamous colonial Jewish apartheid regime occupying Palestine.

Facebook 'Ministry Of Truth' Cracks Down On 'Fake' Local News Networks Run By 'Political Operatives'

By Tyler Durden: After taking the unprecedented step of removing a post from President Trump's page for having the audacity to include a snippet from a Fox News interview where the president gave his view of how children handle COVID infection, Facebook is taking yet another step to crack down on non-mainstream voices.
Since hard-core progressives are pushing for Facebook to deplatform all conservatives and even some centrists, a decision that could have grave consequences for FB's business, the decision isn't a surprise.
A report in the Columbia Journalism Review drew attention to this trend of  "pink slime" local news earlier this month, and since the 2016 election, a team of researchers has uncovered more than 1,200 'fake' local news sites that repackage community news with a political slant favoring the campaign that they are (often obliquely) backing.
The original Bernie Sanders Campaign helped mastermind this technique. But by blocking all such sites from accessing Facebook's "News Exemption", the social media platform is effectively bringing the same level of scrutiny that it already applies to "national" news platforms to "local news" platforms.

The British Government Admits The COVID 19 Deaths Are Exaggerated

Akkad: The UK Government is scrapping it's daily #coronavirus death tally after it was revealed by scientists at Oxford University that the tally is being inflated by people who tested positive for #COVID19 but died from some other cause. However, the #lockdown is now an ethical issue, so we must explore that, too.
