[ April 20, 2024 ]
There is no more punitive, brutal system of laws against candor and free speech than the sharia – the supreme law above all laws. Why would Facebook adhere to the most extreme, barbaric system of governance on the face of the earth? Where are the voices of freedom – such as Robert Spencer, Ibn Warraq, Bat Ye’or, Nonie Darwish?
Facebook must be broken up.
Facebook names Muslim Brotherhood operative to oversight and censorship board
Story continues below advertisementIt is easy to see where all this is tending, although no one seems to have the wit or the will to do anything about it. The social media giants, anxious to make sure that President Trump is not reelected, are moving quickly now to defame and discredit, or silence altogether, all those who dissent from their far-Left agenda. Google recently deep-sixed Jihad Watch from the first page of search results for “Robert Spencer,” which is now filled entirely with the libels of the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Bridge Initiative, and the like, with nothing favorable at all. Nor am I the only one this has happened to: I noticed it when I saw Daniel Greenfield writing about the same thing having happened to him, and tried it on my own name. The far-Left’s favored religion, Islam, will be protected on Facebook, even in its jihadist forms, while Tawakkol Karman and her colleagues will make sure that the social media behemoth, through which most people get their news, is entirely divested of all content critical of the religion of peace. We have been blocked from posting on our Jihad Watch page at Facebook for several months now; this new “oversight board” will mop up any dissenting voices that are still active there.
“Facebook sparks controversy by naming Brotherhood figure to oversight board,” Arab Weekly, May 8, 2020 (thanks to Northern Virginiastan):
LONDON – The name of Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Yemeni Nobel Prize winner Tawakkol Karman stood out as an odd addition to the list of Facebook’s first 20 oversight board members.
The new oversight body includes four chairs: Former Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt, Stanford Law School Professor Michael McConnell, Columbia Law School Professor Jamal Greene and Dean of the Universidad de los Andes Faculty of Law Catalina Botero-Marino.
Apart from Karman, other members include Kenyan human rights activist Maina Kiai, Pakistani digital rights activist Nighat Dad and former editor of the Indonesian publication Jakarta Post, Endy Bayuni.
Facebook said it selected the four co-chairs who in turn helped choose the rest of the 16 members.
“The Oversight Board is an external body that members of our community can appeal to on some of the most significant and challenging content decisions we face,” announced Facebook.
The social media company pointed out that it expected the members “to make some decisions that we, at Facebook, will not always agree with — but that’s the point: they are truly autonomous in their exercise of independent judgement.”
The decisions by the oversight board are expected to influence “content moderation guidelines” for Facebook and Instagram.
Brent Harris, Facebook’s director of public policy, said the company “will implement the board’s decisions unless doing so violates the law.” Over the next few months, the body expects to grow to around 40 total members.
Radicalisation experts believe that by choosing Karman for the influential role, Facebook failed to recognise the link between the Muslim Brotherhood’s ideological advocacy and extremist activity….
When Karman won the 2011 Nobel Peace prize for her “role in Arab spring protests,” the Muslim Brotherhood’s website, Ikhwanweb, released a statement on Twitter identifying her as a “Yemeni Muslim Brotherhood member,” sparking widespread speculation and criticism about her connection to the group.
Despite tactical disagreements about alliances in Yemen’s war, Karman is a leading figure of Yemen’s Islah Party, a Muslim Brotherhood affiliate.
Karman has repeatedly defended the Muslim Brotherhood, even describing the group as “one of the victims of official tyranny and terrorism in the region, which Trump gives his supports and assistance.” She has said she believes the movement’s role in the region will “necessarily” grow in the future.
Many social media users in the Middle East and North Africa region reacted to Facebook’s selection of Karmancwith [sic] confusion and derision as the Yemeni writer is more known for her Islamist activism and divisive stances than for public service commitment….
The choice of Karman to Facebook’s advisory board will add to suspicions about the social media body’s political leanings and is unlikely to enhance the company’s credibility in the Arab world, experts say.

What can one say about Facebook that has already been spoken? It, of course, is a treasonous enterprise, alike its so-called social media and MSM counterparts. It appeals to base dullards of the Leftist contagion whose lives are meaningless, so they regurgitate self-serving, self-indulgent, self-righteous loathing for those whose lives are fulfilling.
Indeed, this pariah should become banished from the digital universe but the mentioned would go totally bonkers.

“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”…..Martin Niemöller (1892–1984), German Lutheran pastor

BTW how ESSENTIAL are you?
The Government Has Chosen the Winners and Losers In the New Normal!
Which List Are You On?

…
The Creation of Virus Free Zones
The Deep State controlled politicians have done a type of triage on the United States and they have decided who will live and who will die. In performing this feat, they have created mythical virus free zones where it is safe to go and fully operate. Please allow me to explain. A virus free zone is one in which a person is allowed to conduct business to the fullest extent. These businesses, by default, have been declared to virus free zones and they include the following establishments:
Virus Free Zones
Walmart
Costco
Sam’s Club
Target
Any Box Store
Any large Business
Any religious place of worship except Christian churches
Any place the government does business
Any medical establishment treating “alleged COVID-19 cases”.
Any place a Democrat goes that others are not allowed to go (eg closed bars, family gatherings, mowing the front lawn, etc). And when the Democrat leaves, the COVID-19 virus returns.
Any professional sports practice facilities (eg professional soccer and the NBA training facilities).
Car Dealerships
Please note that I have been in Walmart, Costco and Target since the so-called pandemic broke out. Social distancing was not observed in ANY of these establishments. Multiple touching of the same retail items by multiple customers was observed. It is a good thing that these are virus free zones, otherwise, multiple transmissions of CV-19 would have taken place.
The dozen categories listed above, would be described as the winners in the pandemic and they will survive the retail post-apocalyptic crash after the common people are let out of our self-made jails
Since the so-called pandemic has taken place, the following have been declared by various levels of government to be pandemic zones
The Outlawing of Virus-Infected Pandemic Zones
Virtually, any small business is considered to an infected zone even when the small business is only blocks from a virus-free and open box store and they sell many of the same products. The virus is inside of these small businesses and waiting to pounce on all who enter, just ask Shelley Luther.
The beach is filled COVID-19 infestations waiting to infect swimmers and surfers. In California, the virus is temporarily suspended on some beaches. However, as soon as one sits down, the virus returns to the beach with a vengeance (eg the 93 year old man who dared to sit on the sand because he was tired as he was told by police that he endangered everyone as the confronting officer on horseback, was riding a stallion that was pooping on the beach, but that is not a health hazard.
Any gym is filled with CV-19 virus strains as the virus is conspiring to infect the first people to walk through the door. However, in Arizona, if the establishment has a “SPA” sign over the door, the virus magically disappears[DH1] as it does with any professional sports training facility!
It might be understandable that assisted care facilities may prevent outsiders from coming in to prevent the spread of the virus. However, why are these people, in many states, locked into these facilities and they are told if they leave to see a family member, the virus will return and they will be kicked out of the assisted care institution? Obviously, this devious virus is just lying wait to attack older people is they leave confinement.
I can buy a car in a crowded dealership, but I cannot get a haircut.
In Arizona and New York, I could attend a religious service at a mosque or a synagogue, but the virus is waiting for me over at the Christian church.
In Michigan, where Governor Whitmer would keep me from mowing my front yard, however, I can go to Walmart and buy a mower.
Our kids can play hide and seek in the crowded, non-mask-wearing, people standing next to each other in the crowded box stores, but these same kids cannot go to church or school and they are often prevented from playing in the park. One father, 2 miles from a Walmart, in Brighton, Colorado, was handcuffed in front of six year old daughter because they were playing T-ball in the park with nobody else present. This is a tricky virus as it just waits to prey upon fathers and daughters in the park.
A popular talk show host could not attend his mother’s funeral in New York, but various health agencies, both federal and state, are granting themselves to come into your home without a warrant and remove, to an unknown location, suspected COVID-19 infected people.
In many locations in our country, I can play golf and even share a golf cart with a stranger, but I cannot play tennis in a public park. No wonder that this is biggest pandemic in history (forget the Spanish flu, Fauci said this was true), because the virus is so tricky one cannot predict what recreational activity it will attack the participants.
Even our words are attacked by the virus. One can talk about Bruce Lee and Kung-Fu, but don’t you dare use the word “Kung Flu”. The political correct police will show up and censor you.
Government officials can accuse unhappy citizens of being a dangerous individual and threaten you with jail if dare to exercise your constitutional rights. There is even a case before the Supreme Court that could make it a crime to advocate for civil disobedience. The San Antonio City Council has declared it a hate CRIME to use the terms “Chinese Flu” and Kung-FLU”.
It is estimated that 18,000 cancer patients will die this year due to neglect. TB patients face similar rates. However, it is the desire of the globalists to test and mandatorily vaccinate everyone. Literally, who lives and who dies is totally at the discretion of the Deep State and their political minions.
Gun confiscation is next followed by personal food confiscation. And it will end with people confiscation.
When citizens allow government to choose winners and losers, communism emerges, and this is only the beginning! Also, when one trades liberty for security, this is the price. Your rights are on the way to becoming extinct.
…
In the new normal, Christians will be marginalized and certainly the majority of sissy pastors will not fight back. Conservatism is on the way to being outlawed. Society is being bifurcated into two camps, the haves and the have nots. There will be no middle class. There will be no freedom of speech. There will only be rule by communist dictators, who will rule you with edicts issued from the seat of their pants. The rule of law is being replaced by rule by personal whim!

Imagine what a hostile political group could do with information gathered from a website like Facebook where everyone posts whatever they are thinking and pictures of everyone they know. It’d sure make totalitarian contact tracing a piece of cake. ; )

Facebook is doing it’s DEEP STATE part!
The Deep State Didn’t Start with Donald Trump
By Steve Baldwin
Published May 10, 2020 at 6:05am
The term “Deep State” has become quite popular during the Trump years, only because of how these entrenched government networks have been exposed by the conservative media and by President Donald Trump himself. It refers to cabals of long-time government bureaucrats and officials who are part of the permanent political establishment.
These informal networks may also include well-connected Capitol Hill staff, influential political consultants, and leaders of leftist activist groups and foundations.
Of course, there is no formal membership. Rather, such networks are held together by common ideology and interests.
They have sought to maintain their power and influence regardless of which party controls the White House and are imbued with an arrogant “We know what’s best for America” attitude. They regard themselves as the “real government” and consider most elected officials as ignorant, bothersome obstacles. Oftentimes, they operate in secret and many at one time may have been political appointees, but once someone hostile occupies the White House, they shift into protected Civil Service positions to maintain power and influence. They usually have establishment media allies and are far more connected to Democrat politicians than Republican ones.
Their ideology is on the left — and they are scornful of conservatives. More specifically, those who hold this ideology typically favor subverting U.S. interests to international entities such as the United Nations and the International Criminal Court and support treaties and agreements that put the U.S. at a disadvantage. Examples of this would be the Iranian nuclear deal, the Kyoto global warming treaty and many of the so-called “free trade” deals.
This globalist mentality stems from a belief that America was founded upon malevolent motivations and obtained its wealth and power immorally; thus America’s influence must be checked by international institutions and treaties whenever possible.
These globalists detest the “America First” attitude and will do whatever is necessary to subvert that concept. They are mostly socialists.
(Many are outright COMMUNISTS and ATHEISTS.)
…
Deep Staters always claim to be defenders of the Constitution but in reality are hostile to the ideas of limited government, national sovereignty, a strong military and much of the Bill of Rights — especially the 1st and 2nd Amendments — since they believe such rights will inhibit their efforts to increase the power and scope of the federal government.
…
Deep State members are commonly involved in unethical or illegal activity, and they have assisted liberal presidents to carry out such activity — or, at the very least, helped conceal it. Indeed, Deep Staters have no problem working with foreign intelligence operatives to achieve their aims.
We know, for example, that the group of Obama appointees who initiated the Russian collusion hoax worked with a former British intelligence officer to assemble a dossier full of phony intel fed to him by Russians with close ties to Putin and by a “top level Russian intelligence officer.” Moreover, we know that this same Deep State network collaborated with intelligence sources in Italy and Australia as well.
All of this was directed toward, at first, the defeat of Donald Trump in 2016 and then, post-election, his removal. The reason, of course, is that Trump, an avowed American-Firster, posed the greatest threat ever to these entrenched Deep State networks.
In an earlier era, such activity would be considered treasonous
…
“Between Watergate and Contra gate, Democrats charged 83 Republicans with criminal conduct. Today, Republicans have not held even one Democrat accountable for the high crimes committed by the Obama Administration.”
Perhaps that will change this summer, but don’t hold your breath.
