One Way To Censor Those Whom You Disagree--Ban Them!

SNEAK PREVIEW: France President May Ban Non-PC Language Users from Internet for Life

Globalist President Emmanuel Macron is flirtingwith more anti-free speech measures.
At an annual dinner, Macron put forward the idea of permanently banning those convicted of so-called “hate speech” crimes from all social media.
Broadcaster BFMTV reports that a bill fighting hate speech online will be filed around May.
This proposal to put the clamps on Internet speech coincides with the ear-piercing levels of criticism Macron is facing throughout the anti-government Yellow Vest protest. The French government has brought down the hammer on the Yellow Vest protestors, arresting approximately 8,400 protestors in a span of a few months.
According to Macron, “The European fight must continue, but it is too slow.” Macron then went out of his way to compare banning individuals convicted of hate speech from social media to football hooligans being banned from attending football matches.
Now, there are questions regarding how the government will enforce this social media ban.
Secretary of State for Digital Affairs Mounir Mahjoubi said “the IP address is what Twitter has on each user who publishes a message on its platform. It must, as soon as possible, send it to the justice system to quickly identify the author and then ‘we can continue’.”
Mahjoubi added:
“It is no longer acceptable today that platforms that have the means to help justice and the police to identify the person who has committed an offence online take several weeks, even months, before giving the information.”
The logic authoritarian globalists use is at times baffling. Let’s consider this:
ADVERTISING
Hooligans are individuals that actively cause mayhem and destroy private property. On the other hand, those convicted of hate speech happen to say something that merely offends another individual or group. The only thing hurt in the latter case is someone’s feelings.
France is embarking on a dangerous path with its latest move to further persecute hate speech. Hate speech is a vague term that authoritarian politicians use to muzzle controversial opinion and quell dissent.
France has witnessed the rise of “No Go Zones” and other unsavory social trends thanks to the EU’s mass migration policies. As a result, numerous dissidents on the Right have stepped up to the plate to expose these schemes throughout the EU. Instead of being applauded for their public service, they’ve generally been met with social media exclusion and in worst case scenarios, fines and jail time.
Macron’s latest proposal is par the course for globalist politicians in the EU. These politicians have made it a point to push for more laws and regulations to combat hate speech and so-called fake news online.
Day by day, free speech becomes an afterthought in Europe.

CBS Reporter Lara Logan Blows the Lid Off Liberal Bias in the Media…Then Gets Fired for It

South African news correspondent and investigative journalist Lara Logan told an inconvenient truth in a recent interview. During a 3 hour podcast with Breitbart’s Mike Ritland, the “60 Minutes” correspondent brought up the fact that the majority of the mainstream media outlets skew liberal, put out biased news and most journalists are registered Democrats.
In a confession-like interview that she called “professional suicide,” the tough-as-nails reporter was summarily released by CBS, where she had worked as the network’s chief foreign affairs correspondent since 2006. During that and subsequent interviews, Logan spoke candidly that much of the media is liberally biased and that posed an imminent problem in terms of journalistic ethics and accuracy. She suggested that today’s news consumers are tasked with getting information from both sides when searching for facts.
Over the years, she earned a reputation for fearless reporting while embedded in troops in Afghanistan and Iraq during the War on Terror. She was also prone to going rogue and seeking out information in dangerous locales. She suffered an attack and sexual assault while reporting on the removal of then-Egyptian Pres. Hosni Mubarak and spent four days in the hospital recovering.
Following the Benghazi Attacks, a “60 Minutes” segment she pieced together differed from the FBI and Hillary Clinton State Department’s official version. She was forced to apologize when a source recanted parts of his story. But her candid remarks on the subject put her in the Clinton machine crosshairs.
“I made one comment about Benghazi,” Logan reportedly said. “I was targeted by Media Matters for America, which was an organization established by David Brock, who has dedicated himself to the Clintons. It was their known propaganda organization.”
When she didn’t back down and gave speeches that Secretary Clinton and the U.S. government failed to protect and defend those Americans abroad properly, CBS sided with Hillary Clinton and forced Logan to give the on air apology and then take a leave of absence for several months.
“From a CBS News standards perspective, there is a conflict in taking a public position on the government’s handling of Benghazi and Al-Qaeda, while continuing to report on the story,” the network reportedly stated.
In hindsight, it took years to learn the truth that the Clinton-led State Department covered up the facts and failure to send aid to the Americans who died during the terrorist attack. Obviously, CBS and its flagship show “60 Minutes” see no conflict in their current biased liberal reporting and matching personal opinions.
Although Logan’s work with CBS resumed after the Benghazi disagreement, her recent statements are an unforgivable sin that will most likely put her on a blacklist. When asked to provide examples about biased, distorted and fake news reporting, she used the coverage of President Donald Trump as an example.
“How do you know you’re being lied to? How do you know you’re being manipulated? How do you know there’s something not right with the coverage? When they simplify it all. There’s no grey. It’s all one way,” she said.
“Well, life isn’t like that. If it doesn’t match real life, it’s probably not. Something’s wrong. For example, all the coverage on Trump all the time is negative. That’s a distortion of the way things go in real life,” continued Logan.
She also called foul on the ongoing use of single and unnamed sources that have repeatedly been proven false.
“That’s not journalism, that’s horseshit,” Logan said. “Responsibility for fake news begins with us. We bear some responsibility for that, and we’re not taking ownership of that and addressing it. We just want to blame it all on somebody else.”
Logan’s blunt talk presents a unique problem for a biased media that continues to falsely claim its rank and file members are objective. Her biting critique of an industry that has gone off the rails blindsided insiders, and it will be difficult for them to paint her as merely disgruntled. She warned that today’s reporting presents an almost existential threat.
“So, creating one ideological position on everything throughout your universities, throughout academia, in school and college, in media, and everywhere else, that’s what concerns me,” Logan said.
“The problem is the weight of all these organizations on one side of the political spectrum. When you turn on your computer, or you walk past the TV, or you see a newspaper headline in the grocery store…If they’re all saying the same thing, the weight of that convinces you that it’s true. You don’t question it, because everyone is saying it.”
There’s little doubt that an acclaimed journalist such as Lara Logan has few professional options after taking the mainstream media to task. In no uncertain terms, she is detailing what everyday Americans already know. The fake news media is the enemy of the people.

AOC Is Perfect For Slimy, Corrupt, Double Dealing Washington


Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez caught in SLEAZY sex and money scandal

“On the Holmes Front” with Frank Holmes
If Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, N.Y., really wants to clean up Washington, she can start with her own campaign.
Damning new evidence shows that Cortez — and her romantic “partner”— could be caught up in a swirling scandal of sex, money and the deep, ugly swamp of Washington corruption.
Cortez collected donations door-to-door from her poor neighbors in the Bronx… and then watched a nice chunk of that cash funnel back to her live-in boyfriend!
Of course, we didn’t learn a single detail about this from the media, which tried to catapult the 29-year-old bartender onto Mount Rushmore.
All the details came from a plucky political operative who started digging into public records.
Luke Thompson first noticed something was fishy when he saw that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s boyfriend, Riley Roberts, had his own congressional e-mail account, even though they’re usually reserved for staffers.
When Thompson tweeted the fact out, Cortez’s office pushed back hard… too hard.

The congresswoman’s chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, said that Cortez’s boyfriend hadn’t been hired, or gotten any money from Congress—he was just given an e-mail account so he could see AOC’s congressional schedule.
Twitter ganged up with the Democrats and locked Thompson’s account, claiming he broke its “rules against posting private information.”
The social media giant only unlocked it when Thompson proved that all he did was post public records.

The hard-hitting response told him he was onto something, so Thompson started digging — and he uncovered something big.
It turns out AOC, Chakrabarti, and the boyfriend have been involved in a shady financial threesome going back years… and her donors were the ones who seemingly got screwed.
When she started her campaign, Cortez got a huge boost from Brand New Congress PAC.
Brand New Congress, or BNC, is actually two organizations: It is a “progressive” political action committee that backs left-wing candidates, like Cortez. Any donations the PAC makes have to be public.
But it’s also a private corporation, an LLC, that runs political campaigns—and it doesn’t have to report a single dollar it spends…or who it’s working for.
“It’s a rather ingenious organization,” Thompson wrote, “but one that dwells in a legal gray-area as far as campaign finance law is concerned.”
Cortez hired BNC to provide “strategic consulting” for her campaign—but then BNC turned around and put the money back in her boyfriend’s pocket.
And after she won, Cortez hired the group’s founder to become the most influential member of her team.
Cortez paid BNC $18,880.14 for their services. But BNC’s PAC cut two checks to Roberts totaling $6,000.
Usually, when you hire a company, they don’t pay you back. So, Thompson followed the money.
BNC PAC paid Riley $3,000 on August 9, 2017.
Just 18 days later, Cortez paid BNC’s LLC $6,191.
Then, at the end of the next month, BNC PAC cut Riley another $3,000 check.
Thompson asked why BNC would hire Roberts, “a no-name ‘UX Experience’ guy with little discernible marketing experience to serve as Brand New Congress PAC’s sole marketing consultant?”
As a matter of fact, BNC PAC paid Cortez’s live-in boyfriend more money than anybody who didn’t work for BNC!
What was going on here?
At this time, Cortez had only raised about $33,000 in campaign donations, according to Fox News — and she already paid BNC more than half of that.
So, the group gave Cortez a kickback of about one-third of the expenses, Thompson says.

“Regardless of whether or not Roberts was officially AOC’s spouse at that time, it seems probable [the PAC’s founder] was reimbursing her for her campaign expenses off-books,” Thompson wrote. “Brand New Congress PAC simply served as a pass-through to do so.”
Spend $18,000 in public contributions… and get back $6,000 in your boyfriend’s check? How sleazy!
Did the community activists in the Bronx sign up to put money in Riley’s pocket?! Since Riley lives with Cortez, this was like giving money directly to her.
Since this has come out AOC’s office—which usually can’t wait to swat down the smallest criticism of the congresswoman—hasn’t said a word about these serious allegations.
BNC’s PR flack told Fox News that Roberts “is a professional digital marketing and growth consultant” and they hired him only because of “his experience managing successful advertising and social media campaigns.”
His new job was supposed to be “aiding in execution of strategy to increase brand awareness for the PAC as a whole.”
Who’s kidding who?
It sure looks like Cortez took money intended for her campaign and found a way to enrich her boyfriend…somebody she’s told Congress to treat as her spouse.
Oh, one more detail: BNC was founded by Chakrabarti. After he paid Cortez’s boyfriend $6,000, she hired him as her chief of staff!
The whole thing stinks of corruption—and they’re only getting started!
“Ocasio-Cortez has been in office for only 48 days,” writes Becket Adams at The Washington Examiner.
For pulling off this level of underhanded campaign shenanigans, Adams says, Cortez belongs in the “swamp hall of fame.”
We say Cortez, Riley, and BNC all belong under investigation.
