this long article could be titled; a summation of the crap we've been fed in the last three months, or how to create and operate a coup with the cooperation of half of the population;

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.” – Frank Zappa

“The choice for mankind lies between freedom and happiness and for the great bulk of mankind, happiness is better.” ― George Orwell, 1984

The quote from Frank Zappa has truly come to fruition during the first two weeks of 2021. We have been living in a Surveillance State since the introduction of the Patriot Act in 2001 (Biden has boasted that he wrote the bill years before). Until Snowden and Assange revealed the depth and depravity of this un-Constitutional intrusion into our lives only the Deep State cabal knew the truth.

Most Americans ignored these revelations, as they continued to be distracted and entertained by their iGadgets and new social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube and others. These social media companies parlayed people’s narcissist need for affirmation, likes and followers into multi-billion-dollar conglomerates with near monopolistic control over the distribution of news, opinions, and on-line communication of the masses..........read more.....

 ninety seconds on what's going on in the district of corruption: if you need this to protect your inauguration maybe the people didn't elect you;

 there's little way to know what's real anymore and what's not but things like this seem to promise more of the same with little hope for an honest government or police force;

Aurora, CO — Imagine for a moment that a handful of “bad apple” police officers attacked, choked, and forcibly drugged an innocent pillar of the community as he walked home from the store — killing him. Imagine that we are told these cops committed no crime when they attacked this innocent man and killed him. Then, imagine after cops got away with killing him, other cops went back to the scene to re-enact the killing, while taking pictures to mock his death. Imagine that people then become very upset and demand a stop to this police brutality and above the law murderous mentality. And, while these people are in the streets to demand cops stop killing innocent people, imagine they are arrested for it and face insanely long prison sentences as a result — as the killer cops walk free.

There is no need to imagine this, because it is exactly what happened in Aurora, Colorado.

Several protesters — who never harmed anyone, destroyed no property, and advocated no violence — are staring down the possibility of decades in prison for protesting the lack of charges for the cops who killed Elijah McClain as well as the other cops who mocked his death.

Though hundreds of people have been arrested for their role in protests, Joel Northam, 33, and Lillian House, 26, are seeing the extreme end of these arrests.

“I’m facing as many as 48 years in prison,” said House, an organizer in Denver and one of the six activists arrested and charged in September of last year. According to arrest documents, they were arrested in connection with crimes committed during June and July protests in Aurora – protests House and Northam contend were peaceful, 9 News reported.........read more.......

 it all looks and acts like a coup is in process from the 'selection' onward;

Attorney Sidney Powell has released the following statement:

I was most shocked by the statements “Just look at the military in DC now. Trump did not call them in.”

Well, if the President did NOT call them in, who did? And by what authority?

Is this a military coup?

Is the military taking action on its own without authority?

Some folks in the military like to say “The military is sovereign.”  They forget that their “sovereignty” comes solely from the American people, and at ALL times, that sovereignty is dependent upon them being subordinate to the civilian authority.

If they are acting without civilian authority, they have no sovereignty; except from the barrel of a gun, and the American people have far more guns than our military does.

This is starting to stink so badly, I can smell the DC cesspool all the way up here in New Jersey.

Or is it the Pentagon giving off that stench?.........http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=225499

 this is an indication of how pervasive the efforts at control are becoming as facebook has censored a mexican cardinal for telling us what we're seeing is intentional and will be ongoing for the goal of total control;

Facebook has censored a video of Cardinal Juan Sandoval Íñiguez, archbishop emeritus of Guadalajara, for suggesting that globalist leaders are exploiting the coronavirus pandemic to bring about a new world order.

In place of the cardinal’s weekly video, Facebook exhibited a greyed-out screenshot emblazoned with the banner “False information.” Underneath, Facebook added, “This publication repeats information about COVID-19 that independent fact checkers deemed false.”

On its Facebook page, Semanario Arquidiocesano Guadalajara, an information service run by the Archdiocese of Guadalajara, posted the following screenshot on January 13, along with the text “Cardinal Juan Sandoval denounced the imposition of a new world order, hours later his video was censored”:.......read and watch more......

your new dumocorp masters are presenting their goals and intentions using their usual tools and 'our free press' who really operate for the ptb: israel and their minions. free speech it seems is a threat to 'our democracy' and therefore must be controlled, the constitution be dammed. the article following presents some of what you might expect;

 Part of the main duty of OffGuardian is to troll through the masses of media output and try and pick up patterns. Sometimes the patterns are subtle, a gentle urging behind the paragraphs. Sometimes they’re more like a sledgehammer to the face.

This has been face-hammer week. In fact, it’s been a face-hammer year.

From “flatten the curve” to “the new normal” to “the great reset”, it’s not been hard to spot the messaging going on since the start of the “pandemic”. And that distinct lack of disguise has carried over into other topics, too.

We pointed out, a few days ago, the sudden over-use of the phrase “domestic terrorism” preparing us for what is, almost certainly, going to be a truly horrendous piece of new legislation once Biden is in office.

Well, the buzz-phrase doing the rounds in the wake of Donald Trump being banned from the internet is “the new definition of free speech”… and variations on that theme.

Firstly, and papers on both sides of the Atlantic want to be very clear about this, Donald Trump being banned simultaneously from every major social network is not in any way inhibiting his free speech.

Indeed none of the tens of thousands of people banned from twitter et al. have had their free speech infringed either. Neither have any of the proprietors – or users – of the Parler app which the tech giants bullied out of existence.

Free Speech is totally intact no matter how many people are banned or deplatformed, the media all agree on that (even the allegedly pro-free speech think tanks).

They also agree that maybe… it shouldn’t be. Maybe “free speech” is too dangerous in our modern era, and needs a “new definition”.

That’s what Ian Dunt writing in Politics.co.uk thinks, anyway, arguing it’s time to have a “grown-up debate” about free speech.

The Financial Times agrees, asking about the “limits of free-speech in the internet era”.

Thomas Edsall, in the New York Times, wonders aloud if Trump’s “lies” have made free speech a “threat to democracy”.

The Conversation, a UK-based journal often at the cutting edge of the truly terrifying ideas, has three different articles about redefining or limiting free speech, all published within 4 days of each other.........read more........
