Several people have pointed out this conversation between Joe Rogan and Twitter owner Elon Musk. There are a couple of interesting aspects to the conversation; one of the more interesting is not generally being noticed.
The primary point, raised by many, is how Elon Musk discusses the scale and scope of U.S. government involvement in the operation of Twitter as an information and discussion platform. Almost all of those making this note are unfamiliar with our multi-year research and outlines long before Elon Musk entered the picture.
As affirmed during the conversation, the FBI and various government agencies, under the auspices of the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS), were in a direct relationship with Twitter offices to control information on the platform. This is not a surprise to CTH readers. The instructions on content removal, content moderation, and demands to remove accounts, were part of the DHS broader initiative to control information. This part of the discussion begins at 05:46, prompted. WATCH:
.
While the govt involvement in the operation of Twitter is interesting, readers here will not be surprised. However, there is a statement by Joe Rogan, at 11:40, that seems to fly under the radar, even to Elon Musk, that deserves an equal amount of attention.
In response to Musk saying the ratio of censorship on the Twitter platform was a multiple of 10 times greater for “right-wing” or centrist views, Rogan ponders how and why accounts like the Taliban were not removed. Thus, yet again, the issue that brought me to the political sphere many decades ago surfaces.
The Taliban, as a totalitarian ideology, is not on the right side of the political continuum. Totalitarianism, or the presence of big oppressive government, falls on the left side of the political continuum. The far-left is totalitarianism. The furthest right is the absence of government. This is an ideological mistake that happens frequently and needs to be addressed when the mistake is made.
When the Chinese Communist Party cracked down on the student activists in Tiananmen Square, China, most of the political analysis and media pundits got it totally wrong in their discussion. It was not a “hard-right” reaction by the Chinese government, it was an actionable shift to the far-left, toward total government control.
Like the Chinese communist regime, the ideology of Hamas, Hezbollah, al-Qaeda, the Taliban, the Muslim Brotherhood et al, is left-wing extremism. The government – or controlling, totalitarian, oppressive ruling authority – controls the lives of the people subjected to it. This is a far-left big government worldview.
Oppressive government is on the left side of the freedom continuum. That’s why the further left the Democrat Party goes, the more oppressive the government control becomes. Democrats are leftists, and the leftists believe in socialism (big govt), communism (bigger govt), and eventually totalitarianism (total govt). Each shift is a move further to the left, further toward oppressive government.
The absence of government, individual liberty and freedom, is on the right side of the continuum. Federalism (local govt), Republicanism (limited federal govt), Libertarianism (even less govt), and eventually anarchy (no govt or control authority) are on the right side of the freedom continuum.
As noted by the reference point of Joe Rogan, almost every pundit makes this common and fundamental mistake. That’s why Rogan was having difficulty reconciling the Taliban being allowed on Twitter, when the reality is – the Taliban are on Twitter because they are in alignment with big oppressive, controlling government. That is their central alignment.
Understanding this core distinction, this fundamental flaw as espoused by so many, is what brought me into the world of politics a long time ago.
When “Republicans” want bigger government, they are “Democrats.”
“… aside from those Treeper people.”
there is an also very interesting explanation from Musk about the philosophy of Extintionists that controlled Twitter and still control Facebook and Google
Musk says this ideology was “piped to Earth”, a kind of non-triggering way, Twitter (was), Facebook (is now), Google(is now) controlled by a Satanic elite that literally want to destroy humanity
San Francisco is ground zero for this satanic elite
Musk says the Extintionists will program AI that will destroy us all, just like its destroyed San Francisco
true facts
Read the Word of God. AI ain’t got anything on the Almighty God.
True…. BUT:
That didn’t stop Hitler or Stalin or Mao. Millions were still massacred.
We may “win in the end” as Christian’s often (rightly) say but that doesn’t mean there won’t be hard times and pain, suffering, and death.
We still need to be prepared for the evil that’s surely coming. The rapture may not happen as soon as some expect. Be prepared to defend yourself and family and to survive here for a while. If nothing else: what food, money, weapons, shelter, etc. you leave behind may help someone else and maybe they’ll read the Bible and any notes you leave behind as well and they will be saved.
We can’t just say “God is in control” and pretend we aren’t responsible to do anything.
When we pray, we have to move our feet….
True, I am still looking for word “Rapture” in the Bible. I can’t find where Jesus says we get the skip all this end times evil, but I’m still reading and I might find it one day.
Ephesians 6:11-12 NKJV
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. [12] For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
The English Bible doesn’t use “rapture”, only in the Latin Bible.
In the Greek Bible, “harpazo” is used for the word rapture.
The word “caught up” is used in the English Bible for rapture.
Read 1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18
Jack Hibbs had a wonderful interview with Charlie Kirk regarding this recently.
Charlie Kirk celebrates gay marraige. He’s definately in my ‘No-Fly’ zone.
The word Trinity is not in the Bible either. But the Truth about the Trinity is there. Just as it is about the Rapture.
You will only find the Latin word for rapture in the 4th century Latin Vulgate Bible. The Latin Vulgate was translated from the Koine Greek. The actual word used in the Greek is ‘harpazo’ which means ‘to snatch away’. Reading 1 Thessalonians 4:17 should give you comfort.
Thessalonians 4:17 was a prominent part of the reading during the Mass Wednesday (aka “All Souls’ Day”), and I found it nothing less than riveting. and ultimately very comforting indeed. Thanks be to God.
Wednesday was All Saints’ Day. Today is All Souls’ Day.
Many thanks for pointing that out, T! I have been unobservant for many decades and only back for a short time and there have been many changes.
I was hopelessly confused on the issue because in prior announcements from the pulpit as well as the homily on Wednesday itself, people seemed to be conflating the two events.
My prayer for many years has been for “all souls everywhere, ” and it worked for me on Wednesday. 😊
The word is harpazo, from the Greek language. Just had last week’s message on this topic. To be caught up, taken away from a threatening situation, the tribulation.
II Thessalonians 2. Satan arrives first (6th Trump) pretending to be Jesus who arrives at the 7th Trump. No such thing as so-called ‘Rapture‘. The word isn’t even in the Holy Bible! Don’t be deceived! Revelation 9:4 Satan can’t touch those with the ‘Seal of God’ IN their forehead. We’re still here during the Tribulation. We’ll have work to do before Jesus returns HERE!!
Michael Lee Shirey, blessed indeed!
“…eyes to see and ears to hear…”
Nice to meet you brother.
Discussion of Rapture vs Second Coming from Tom Pennington at CountrysideBible.org under tab Media dated 9/24/23 has both audio and slides. It may clarify your understanding of Pretribulation Rapture.
Luke 17
26 “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 “It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 “It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day no one who is on the housetop, with possessions inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything. 32 Remember Lot’s wife! 33 Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it. 34 I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. 35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.” [36] [e]
37 “Where, Lord?” they asked.
He replied, “Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather.”
Might this read that the evil ones that are taken?
Jesus asked us to be disciples. I wonder who will disciple God’s children once all the true believers are gone?
One day we will all know for certain (even Jesus doesn’t know the day). Until that day I will continue to serve the Lord.
Notice that both Hitler and Stalin were eventually stopped. Anyone who believes the Almighty had no hand in that is unaware of His methods of accomplishing His will.
The Father is extremely reluctant to interfere in man’s volition which the Father gave us in His original design. Throughout the Old Testament, one reads stories of how most of the battles for the Land given via the Abrahamic & Mosaic Covenants were won by the Israelis, usually motivated to victory by the power of the Holy Spirit.
The older I get, the more convinced I am of the accuracy of the view/explanation you have expressed above. And very beautifully, I might add.
👍 Mayberry Lady, I AM old and it took me up to not very long ago to realize the truth in that statement (which is the truth one gets from studying the Bible under a Grace-gifted pastor-teacher).
When people say God chose Donald Trump to run and get elected in 2016, I see no explanation other than Divine Inspiration. But then Satan rose up and his dark forces prevented PDJT’s re-election in 2020, which make perfect logical sense.
It’s not an excuse for our inaction, it actually should reinforce our faith and confidence that whatever diligent righteous efforts we take, if we are in fellowship with Christ (and through Him with the Father) then we WILL collectively defeat the “rulers, .. the powers, … the world forces of this darkness, and…. the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. ” (borrowed from Eph. 6:12)
💯 😊
FB and Google (is now) is always has been.
Don’t let Musk fool you into thinking Twit is still not. It’s misdirection hopium.
We must all be on guard.
Twitter is an extraordinarily useful platform for certain information. There is information on Twitter of >> value than any other platform, including all the most expensive commercial services.
The pre-Musk censorship was a gift from the extinctionists we know. The worst outcome for an extinctionist is to be found out before the extinction plan is complete. Let’s take it from there.
True, and so is Tucker.
Bingo
To many people have fallen for EM and TC believing they were some kind of patriotic savior when they are the shiny objects mesmerizing them.
Avatars generated as part of a concerted plan to stop Trump;
Elon Musk
Tucker Carlson
RFK JR
Ron Desancimonious
Mike Johnson/Matt Gaetz
And, as their primary purpose IS to play a role in “stopping Trump” they are (like suicide bombers) perfectly willing to ultimately “crash and burn” as we now see RDS doing.
Previous versions of the same stratagem; Sessions, Huber, Barr, etc. i.e. “trust the plan!”
“,…when will they ever learn,…when will they EEEEVVVER LEARN?”
Are you referring to the people who want the human race to become extinct?
Jack Dorsey should be found guilty of mass murder for his COVID lies. And dealt with in the same way Nazi’s were dealt with after WWII. Anything less than that is a crime.
His hands are stained with the bloody pollen of the Arab Spring.
To emphasise Sundances’ point we still see most people refer to the German National SOCIALIST Party as right wing.
Yep. The Left redefines words and ideas to their benefit. It’s a major part of their cultural reprogramming effort. And it works. Look at the indoctrinated masses of people younger than 50-60 years old. Look at the Greenies, the Covidians, the current widespread hatred of Jews. All bought into the Media’s (Left’s) lies and propaganda.
And the Right rarely pushes back.
To your point, PJB.
I watched a 3 hour documentary just a few nights ago, “Getting Away with Murders(s),” that really ripped the scales from my eyes about how the world “dealt with” the Nazi’s. To quote from the annotation for this film: “A staggering 99% of the perpetrators who carried out the genocide of 11 million people during the Holocaust never faced prosecution. This film asks why?”
I strongly recommend it. (2021, 3 hours and 2 minutes.)
As for me, I no longer wonder how this ocean of barnarism that threatens to drown us came to be.
sorry, barbarism
my Reference for a Visual – the Spectrum that I Learned in Political Science Classes
https://ponderingprinciples.com/2017/08/16/the-alt-right-isnt-right/
That’s a fair representation, but I would put “Mob Rule” to the right of “Anarchy.”
Anarchy represents no rule, not even that of a mob.
Neither are to be wished of course.
Quite frankly, mob rule shud be on the far left as we’ve seen the past 4-6 years.
The manufactured mob rule we’ve been seeing is a tool of totalitarians/ globalists. Otherwise, it is always captured, controlled, divided, directed. Mob rule is a debased form of democracy.
“Remember Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes exhausts and murders itself. There never was a Democracy Yet, that did not commit suicide,” [John Adams] wrote, before continuing, “It is in vain to Say that Democracy is less vain, less proud, less selfish, less ambitious or less avaricious than Aristocracy or Monarchy. It is not true in Fact and no where appears in history. Those Passions are the same in all Men under all forms of Simple Government, and when unchecked, produce the same Effects of Fraud Violence and Cruelty.”
One World Gov’t was eliminated in Genesis 11 when God scrambled the language so that man would not be able to continue down that bad road. Instead, I believe, we have separate competing societies so that no single one can tyrannize the whole Earth until the day of the Beast.
A good analogy for Nationalism vs Globullism, and just because God destroyed the Tower of Babel, and scattered its builders while scrambling their language, doesn’t mean the ASPIRATIONS that motivated them, were banished from the world of men.
In so many ways, that is exactly what the Globullusts aspire to; replacing or displacing GOD was the whole idea behind the Tower, and is readily apperent in the Conmunist Marxist fake ideology, latest iteration called ‘Globullism’.
Where do you see “Lord of the Flies” on the spectrum?
Mob rule is the absence of liberty and is therefore totalitarian!
Mob Rule is the answer to anarchy.
Maybe it’s a circle and not a straight line.
Agreed Mob Rule is nothing more than a demon called Legion.
Mark 5:8-13 NKJV
For He said to him, “Come out of the man, unclean spirit!” [9] Then He asked him, “What is your name?” And he answered, saying, “My name is Legion; for we are many.” [10] Also he begged Him earnestly that He would not send them out of the country. [11] Now a large herd of swine was feeding there near the mountains. [12] So all the demons begged Him, saying, “Send us to the swine, that we may enter them.” [13] And at once Jesus gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits went out and entered the swine (there were about two thousand); and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and drowned in the sea.
Unhelpful. Libertarians are Liberals who want to smoke weed and don’t want to pay taxes. They’re also big on taxpayer boondoggles like “public-private partnerships”
We have legal weed in CO because Libertarians accepted the massive tax grab of legal weed “for the children” in exchange for the “freedom” to get high.
They all pretend that Colorado hoarding weed-tax money instead of giving it to parents to choose schools for themselves is “limited government” or something.
You have correctly described today’s Libertarians.
But they started out as economic free-marketeers (which works great when there is a rule of law to buttress it – obviously not now).
And they were the first to shout that there was really only one party comprised of RepubliCrats and DemoPublicans.
Ron Paul, Rand’s dad, is still worth listening to.
Very sad what they rest have become – in my opinion, most likely bought for a pittance behind the scenes.
Unfettered access to drugs will do that to people.
Most of us who fled Conservative Inc. in the mid/late 2000’s (Iraq, TARP, NCLB, etc.) made a stop-over in Libertarian Land. It sounds good on paper and they sure like to write books. But then you realize most of them are just NIMBY Liberals who don’t like paying taxes.
I used to go to the local Libertarian think tank’s monthly luncheons. When they started bringing in the Public School District Superintendents to talk about how they wanted to use “public-private partnerships” to make the schools better, they lost me. Then there was the time they brought in people who wanted to use the same model to run the public transit system instead of pointing out the more obvious problem: the city is too small and too spread out to support a mass transit system. Even up in Denver, the trains run empty most of the time.
I would put “Mob Rule” and “Anarchy” to the left of Fascism and Communism. It’s what happens when the people finally come to realize the scope of their oppression and rise up against it by reversing the violence they’ve been suffering under.
That was then, conservative is in the correct spot, but the elephant should be in between the jackass and the moderate!
Moderate actually usually simply means Sadly Confused and Ignorant.
I attended University of Colorado from late sixties to early seventies, majoring in Political Science. My professors had the communists and socialists to the far left, then liberals, moderates, conservative/capitalist, monarchists to the right. They put fascist/NAZI to the far right. They tried to make sense of it by bending the two ends down in a circle to meet at totalitarianism. They left anarchy out entirely, since it was purportedly a non-participant.
It didn’t compute then, and doesn’t now. I was smart and fortunate, though entirely by accident, not to have completed my Poli-Sci degree. At least, not at Boulder.
Yup, they push a senseless scale whose only utility is creating the impression one side is good and the other bad.
Expressed in complete contradiction to on the ground reality.
The logic is so twisted they may as well express it as a Mobius Strip.
‘The logic is so twisted they may as well express it as a Mobius Strip.’
Or a pretzel.
I have often wondered, as I have gazed at an example of a Mobius Strip – I think at the Museum of Science and Industry in Los Angeles – did Mobius get his idea from a pretzel?
I daresay that your professors were also eager fans of John Maynard Keynes. This trend line actually dates back to the late 19th century in American higher education.
You bringing up Keynes reminds me of arguments in my Econ classes when I went through.
Never could stand or believe in his theories.
I was more of an Austrian school guy and we hardly even touched or discussed the thinking of Hayek, Von Mises or Rothbard.
Looking back, I think all of it was intentional. Push students to think leftist by leftist professors.
The Econ dept at Wake Forest in the late 70s was all Austrian. I was lucky, fit right in. The Econ phd degree at NYU was chaired by Murray Rothbard. Again, fortunate.
Wow. You were fortunate. Funny how I remember months ago that I remember one of your comments about economics really got my attention. I know why now.
I kinda envy you on that education.
I’ve heard that Auburn has a real good Austrian focused economics school/program also.
Wow I was there at same time and learned the same confusion. Discussed it over 3.2 beer at The Sink
Boulder has its own extinctionist. He probably moved to Boulder about the time you left.
Guess what? His day job is as an abortionist. At least he is consistent.
That would be Dr. Warren Hern. His latest book is Homo Ecophagus.
“The title of the book indicates Hern’s new name for the human species: “The man who devours the ecosystem.” Over the course of its evolution, Hern observes, humans have evolved cultures and adaptations that have now become malignant and that the human species, at the global level, has all the major characteristics of a malignant neoplasm – converting all plant, animal, organic, and inorganic material into human biomass or its adaptive adjuncts and support systems. Hern contends that this process is incompatible with continued survival of the human species and most other species on the planet, offering a diagnosis and prognosis of the current environmental impasse.”
Guessing Dr. Hern never suggests Man should move into low Earth orbit, the Moon or Mars because that would be taking these problems head on and solving them like winners. Why aren’t we, on the Right, beating the Leftist filth over the head with this winning attitude?
So, for “Dr.” Hern to be consistent with his own sophistry, he should immediately “abort” himself, right?
Well, Doc, we’re waiting…
I guess no one ever explained to them that National SOCIALISTS weren’t just debutantes interested in the social registers but were actual SOCIALISTS and belonged on the LEFT side of the spectrum?
Probably one of the greatest lies the Left has pushed is convincing people that Nazis were extreme RIGHT wing when, of course, they are LEFT wing.
Very similar to the lie that the KKK members left the Democrat Party and went to the Republican Party. Evil is nothing if not consistent. But, right now, after the evil that happened in Israel on October 7th, it’s obvious the Nazis are back and they are definitely on the Left and in the streets and on college campuses hunting Jews. Don’t send your kids to Ivy League — it should be called Evil League.
I always use “poison ivy league”…. because it is a fact.
Unfortunately, the poison has spread to every other institution of higher learning.
Harvard was founded as a Christian college. My, how they have fallen into the pit.
That lie was started by one Iosef Dzugkashvilli.
By owning the political spectrum the left is expressing their ownership of language. It would never occur to the right to own the language.
It would never occur to the right to own the language.
This is how I would say it:
It would never occur to the right to
ownmangle the language.I think identifying Fascism with National Socialism isn’t completely accurate. Although, to his detriment, Mussolini allied himself with Austrian mustache man, Italian Fascism was a different animal in many ways from what the NSDAP had to offer.
Fascism and Socialism(the National flavor included), are variants of the same beast, in that they both place the state at the center of society. They are statist systems that do not tolerate any deviation from official doctrine.
They are also ideological systems that are wholly dependent on the full exploitation of it’s citizens in order to exist. In it’s purest form you will sacrifice your children to the government, and be taxed to within an inch of your life.
The cuisine was better.
The ‘Title’ under Moderate is missing from the graph. Should read “Moron”. Although moderate is an adjective not a noun.
Rev. 3:16 “...because thou art lukewarm…neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of My mouth.”
The LORD said, ‘get off the fence, make a decision, I can’t use, and I don’t even respect, anyone who has no opinion.
IIRC it was Rush who patiently explained that those in the middle of the road would surely be run over. Or be run over first.
As has Brigette Gabriel.
“There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil. ”
Excerpt From
Atlas Shrugged
Ayn Rand
interesting
but, there is no such thing as “moderate”
as far as government goes
as much as they would us to believe it
though like it or not, independents, many of whom call themselves moderate, often decided elections. At least before fraud took over.
Much like there’s no such thing as a moderate Muslim. There’s either practicing or not practicing. The practicing wants to cut your head off. The non practicing is content to sit back and watch the practicing cut your head off.
We witnessed a state of anarchy- New Orleans after Katrina. The dynamics were interesting, yes there was a lot of looting, but surprisingly few deaths by murder, there were some horrific accounts of rape. But considering N.O. was without rule of law for quite some time and the conditions were close to hell on earth, I find that in itself interesting.
rival gangs kept to themselves and then came the Cajun navy – just ordinary folks got together and started helping one another.
The goodness of people overshadowed the evil of people, this in one of the most crime ridden cities in the US.
my memories of Katrina are overwhelmingly positive, remembering the kindness of strangers, so I don’t believe anarchy would lead to mob rule, unless the feds/govmnt take that position. Which was evident by the gun confiscation. But that is totalitarian behavior not anarchy.
It probably did not hurt that many thousands of people were offloaded into Houston.
The whole “left-right” spectrum is a model left over from the French Revolution. It is completely useless in the modern era. “Conservatives” have conserved nothing, and Conservative Inc is mainly a scam intended to protect the government from us. As a political ideology, it is dead. They mostly argue about how they can manage the welfare state better and run around claiming Democrats are the real racists…making “anti racism” just as much a part of their core ideology as any leftist.
Republicans are not “Right”. Modern GOP pols occupy the political space once held by Democrats in the 1960’s. JFK wasn’t a conservative….modern Republicans are Democrats. People struggle with that mightily.
I’ve always been a proponent of the model Sundance adopted. Totalitarianism on the left, anarchy on the right. The more you slavishly obey or depend on government, the further to the left you are. The more independent you are, and the more you reject government authority, the more right you are.
Seems like I remember someone by the handle Sundance telling us about “Jacks Magic Coffeeshop” being an extension of some of the three letter agencies a long time ago. How smart was that guy? Sundance you never cease to amaze me.
The impact of Sundance and the Treehouse IS truly amazing.
Was it Sundances article on Jacks Coffee shop that instigated the whole “twitter files”?
Was it his expose that deflated the RDS effort?
To what degree have his articles not just commented on events, but SHAPED them?
I see, in the comments section of an article on todays AmericanThinker, a lengthy quote from this article, on the true nature of the political spectrum.
The enemy no longer have the powerful weopon that they used to manipulate/control public opinion,…the rebel alliance of ‘alt right’ media is now dominating, and the proof?
If MSM/BigTech were dominating, PDJT’s poll #’s would have cratered, and we would be looking at RDS as the R nominee.
” Oppressive government is on the left side of the freedom continuum. That’s why the further left the Democrat party goes, the more oppressive the government control becomes. Democrats are leftists, and the leftists believe in socialism (big govt), communism (bigger govt), and eventually totalitarianism (total govt). Each shift is a move further to the left, further toward oppressive government.”
Where it’s headed:
That rat bastard.
UFO’s all over the news.
Werner Von Braun’s prediction.
“Alien invasion will be the last card played.” And he wasn’t talking about Mexico. Everything is based on fear.
Everything!
Sundance is right. Get right with The Creator and the fear is gone.
Twitter is only the latest entity that’s been captured and co-opted. Every single major news agency that’s been around since the sixties has long since been in it together and likely infiltrated if not controlled by the CIA.
All you need to do is look into the lies NASA has been telling since the early 60’s. Their budget is in the billions.
Yet in 50 years we now hear that we “lost” the technology to go to the moon!
…and journalists don’t question this!
Stealing the 2020 election was inevitable.
They’re gonna need a bigger scare to pull it off again.
The technology was not misplaced, the people who had the knowledge are long gone and it was not passed down to their successors. Some people call this tribal or institutional knowledge. A good recent example is that Raytheon is reaching out to a number of their retirees to get them to return to the job because their current workforce does not “have the knowledge” to build Stinger missles.
We nicknamed him Henry the K. He was quick on his feet, but as an intellectual, I found him to be seriously overrated. He had an obsession with Metternich and the Congress of Vienna that poisoned his world view, and believe me, his knowledge of America was (as the above quote demonstrates) sadly lacking.
‘Henry the K’. Insightful. As he is in fact a ‘K’ [Kenite]. They intend to control everything, and they will, right up until they lose. The Jews still get a bad rap for everything the Kenites have done over millennia. Even the murder of Jesus. Kenites did that too, as was always intended by GOD, thereby ‘earning’ Satan his final judgment.
Rev. 3.7 “...He That is True…hath the key of David...”
3:9 “...them of the synagogue of Satan…say they are Jews…are not, but…lie…“
Frightening, beyond belief! And yet, he is revered by the left. Commie, to the core.
This is Kissinger bunk! People have and will stand up and fight and die for freedom. Always have and always will. There are cowards but there are more that are brave. The Jews have learned their lesson.
Covid showed how easy it is to control a major segment of the population. The sheep masked up and begged the government to save them.
I think Kissinger probably has a copy of The Day The Earth Stood Still and watches it daily with morning coffee.
The ultimate end of Totalitarianism is Globalism. They all yearn for some force to direct the human race forever – either some seemingly “benign” alien like Klaatu, or an AI they plan to build, or the CPP, or the Caliphate…
…anything as long as it’s not the Christian God.
Yes the U.N. helmets would be too conspicuous.
That is why millions of
military-aged foreign_men are being
allowed through the U.S.
southern border per the
excuse of ” escaping persecution, “or some such rot.
They are a foreign force
to ” just do jobs ” We the People won’ t do.
They are to do the
jobs of the U.N. troops
here on U.S. soil.
Particularly galling is the modern notion that Nazism is right wing.
Europeans promulgate that farcical scale to stampede the people into Communism to prove they aren’t Fascists.
NSDAP. Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei. National Socialist German Workers’ Party.
This was not just a name. NSDAP policies were socialist policies. Even the exterminations.
The misconception that Nazism is a right-wing movement exists because socialist academics need to explain Nazi policies without condemning their own ideology.
You are correct.
NAZIs are socialists with goofier flags.
I do understand the political aspects…the layers of it.
but here is how I view it…bluntly…objectively.
the reason WHY twitter was an arm of the USG was to conceal criminal action.
think of it this way: who created and funded the bioweapon? and if that entity COULD surely it would want to insulate the truths about that bioweapon development and bann ANYONE daring to even engage a discussion about the aspects of facts that enabled the wuhan lab to do high level sars line passage gain of function “experiments”.
think of it this way: an entity that is involved in multi-state election fraud is going to protect facts…it can only do so much in the courts (which was wildly successful by the way to innoculate the fraudsters and ignored real evidence to the contrary!), that entity is going to go full rambo to make sure that there are penalties to ANYONE EVEN DARING TO SPEAK OPENLY IN PUBLIC ABOUT THE FRAUD.
think if this way: people gathered in DC on jan 6th…THEY KNEW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. ANY IDIOT COULD SEE WHAT WAS COMING. Congress was going to certify a stolen election. So people reacted…People got stone cold invovled. I admire that. I support it and will NEVER stop supporting these brave and righteous people. (noting: President Trump in his wildest imagination could never have prompted this response…IT WAS SPONTANEOUS AND AS GRASSROOTS AS SHOWING UP FOR THE FRIDAY NIGHT BRAWL AFTER THE BALL GAME! But this was not ordinary ball game. THE PEOPLE understood what was about to go down. So they decided that SINCE THE CORRUPTORS HAVE CHALLENGED ANYONE AND CENSORED THEM AND ATTEMPTED TO THROTTLE THEIR VOICES…THEN IT WOULD HAVE TO BE IN A FORM THAT COULD NOT BE MANIPULATED. In person…LIVE…in your face. The standard way of getting things done. (noting: we will look back at that moment and the people involved as one of the first most important SKIRMISHES to realize the second independence of this country. We will remember these people and honor them as they honored US…the reason was a good and correct cause.
so to be…the goals of the corrupt central state..the secret police spy state…the deep state..the swamp…is to conceal the criminal actions..and to persecute anyone who dares to speak about the corruption.
it’s less about politics and more about criminals who are fighting to protect their power…
noting: we are talking about very weak people…corrupt people are inherently flawed human beings…weak an fearful.
we attack THAT, and the battles get much easier. Trust me when I say this.
and PRAY for success. It’s the other thing the corruptors don’t do…won’t do…they have no need to GOD. It’s the fundamental reason why they are failures.
we will show them no mercy.
God Bless America
Prince Alwaleed, the genesis investor in Twitter while palling around with Honest James…
Edward Snowden was in Switzerland working for the CIA BEFORE the San Bernardino Shooting in 2015.
I bring that up because as I recall it was a big deal about Apple not allowing the FBI to have access to the phone or phones used by the husband and wife team.
I bring up Edward Snowden in Switzerland because in the movie “Snowden” they show him finding out about the system in place, being used by the CIA, to get into “PRIVATE” information on people and their relationships that is useful information when needing to find a “hook” to get someone to do something. They just sort of “walked in” and looked around at all that was known about any person. I thought it was just Facebook but perhaps it was an amalgamation of all available online information – no password needed!
This meme, right here is why I am insensed whenever anyone posts comment saying they “just love” (some politician) because of what the Politician SAYS.
“I just LOVE,..” Pompeo, Gaetz, etc. Right after Kavanaugh hearings, many were saying it about Lindsey GRAHAM!
DO NOT allow yourself to be seduced by sweet talk.
Outcomes over personalities.
The Democrats are running an organized crime outfit. Take some of the most famous celebs on social media. The Big ones, whom also vocally support democrats during elections. Anyways if you peel the onion back you see these same celebs that are being magically hoisted by FACEBOOK/INSTAGRAM etc…. with the largest following also being partners with not the Democrat politicians, but their associates….. who does that remind you of? Ohhh the Big guy and his money laundry. Anyways the Celebs have hundreds of millions of followers, many whom are fake bots, maybe even 50%+ yet they are paid enormous amounts of money for that following, some of it is kicked back to the Politicians via the associate partnerships.
“The Democrats…”??
You’re halfway there.
Regi
You just summed up the REASON why ‘they’ have to stop Trump.
The ‘reaction’ to control the content on Twitter was/is due to fear.
They are the DS/IC we speak about, Trump has threatened to take down and will take down if sworn back into office.
The masks are off for everyone to see. Soon, real soon, the gloves will come off.
As you always say,
God Bless America
Assuming PDJT reenters the Oval, that will not be the end, it will be just the beginning of a brutal fight the likes i
of which we haven’t seen in this country, since the 1860’s.
Which, actually is what we will see, if he DOESN’T reenter the Oval,..
So, 12 months to “brace for impact!”
When “Republicans” want bigger government, they are “Democrats.”
some of these Republicans are Democrats too, I reckon
Over 20 Republicans join Democrats to kill censure resolution against Tlaib
A+
EVERY ONE of them needs to be primaried and gotten out of goob’mint!!!
I would almost bet that the same 20 were involved in censuring MTG when she 1st became a member of Congress and removing her from committees.
It’s always the same Terrible Twenty, except when one of them needs some district behind-covering – then they rotate in a few subs.
“Republicants” are only in favor of smaller Govt. until they are elected.
“The primary point, raised by many, is how Elon Musk discusses the scale and scope of U.S. government involvement in the operation of Twitter as an information and discussion platform.”
———
Next you’ll be telling me that Google, Facebook, and Twitter were initially funded by the U.S. Fe(de)ral government’s Ministry of Truth.
Oh, wait …
the USA government would still be Twitters biggest customer
data subscriptions, i.e all those juicy conservative, centrist and independent social graphs, which where temporarily kicked off the platforms because there was simply too much censorship needed to steal the country from Trump
now, the Deep State needs that data, and it needs to crush Rumble and TruthSocial so Big Heart/Big Brain Musk is bringing us all back onto Twitter
Musk is bringing us into the Capital building, he has opened the gates, now the patriots pour in
just in time for the mass ops that will proceed in 2024 as Bidan and Newsom and the Big Tech / China Cartel need that social graph data, thanks Musk, to crush MAGA and to destroy Trump

Fake Victories of Florida and TwitterINSTEAD OF THE HARD POWER OF ECONOMIC MAGA OWNING THE MACHINERY OF USA GOVERNMENT, WE HAVE THE SWAMP OF FLORIDA AND THE SOCIETY OF SPECTACLE OF ELON MUSK IN TWITTER?v=63848654342While Conservative Inc celebrates the fake election, the selections of 2022 mid-terms, the social influencers, the meme makers, the MAGA sphere is busy with the false victories of Twitter and Florida.
Ron DeSanctimonious is the new face of the GOPe RINO.Cultural MAGA virtue signals on social issues and is friendly to Wall Street and City of London. USA multinationals embedded offshore and especially in China fund the UniParty and now have Ron’s Cultural MAGA on the right, and Woke on the left.
Elon Rino Musk, has bought Twitter, and is now bringing conservatives back onto the platform so he can sell-out their data to the weaponized Patriot Act agencies. Twitters biggest customer for social marketing and data subscriptions is the government.
The MAGA base living vicariously through Ron and Elon, and what should of been a complete sweep of every office in the land to MAGA GOP candidates, is a weak win for the GOPe.
Instead of a MAGA House and Senate, and MAGA Governors like Kari Lake, we have Elon Musk, our Judas Goat, bringing the conservative masses back onto Twitter to be data mined and sabotaged.
Instead of Trump as MAGA king maker, we now have a low energy Presidential announcement, and the circling of the UniParty around Ron and Elon and their fiefdoms.
Instead of the hard power of Economic MAGA owning the machinery of USA government, we have the swamp of Florida and the Society of Spectacle of Elon Musk in Twitter.
Elon Musks next campaign, will be to sell the MAGA patriot base to the UniParty who will convert Trump Economic MAGA into Ron Cultural MAGA.

I am continually amazed by Sundance and his insights.
Sundance is clearly supported by providence.
By all means then, Elon…
Enlighten us.
This is the first time I have seen this clearly in print. Must have missed the initial discussion. I have found it is an impossible discussion to have with low information emotional libs. I had a discussion with ChatGPD about 6 mo ago about Fascism being a left wing ideology. Interesting, but obviously programmed at cogent points of discussion to dead-end.
obviously programmed at cogent points of discussion to dead-end
just like liberals themselves
embark on a logical discussion with them and they’ll bail out whenever they’re about to be proven wrong
they will NOT concede a point, they’ll never admit they’re wrong or that you’ve just backed them into a logical or factual corner
they’ll change the subject, divert off onto a different track
as you said, “programmed at cogent points of discussion to dead-end”
Or they get very personally ugly when they’ve lost a point. Attack the messenger, not just the message.
So, you’re saying, leftists are basically Nasty-Bots.
Works for me!
Musk brought his electric truck with him. He said it could take hits from rifles and pistols. Joe asked, “What about arrows?”. The next thing you know they’re in the garage and Joe is loading up a broadhead arrow onto his compound bow. He shoots the side of the truck, and it puts a dent in the side, but breaks the arrow and bends the tip of the broadhead. Musk continued smoking his cigar with a smile. He said, “Trucks are supposed to be tough.”.
O I see how it is now. Bait us with Joe Rogan then talk about yourself. 😀
J/K! I agree with your point entirely; properly identifying totalitarianism ensures locating it on the Left. One of the primary realizations of my own journey.
Need to make time to see that whole episode, there’s always gems that never make the headlines.
Outstanding!
Thank you, Sundance!
“Totalitarianism, or the presence of big oppressive government, falls on the left side of the political continuum”
Fantastic point. We have been indoctrinated with the opposite view for many decades.
it is good that the huge audience of
twitter/X is getting educated about this
The top all time JRE podcast reach # was 67M listeners from a previous Elon podcast.
https://jrelibrary.com/articles/stats/
These guys do a pretty good summary of the top flamethrower moments in this current broadcast (@7:20 mark):
https://rumble.com/v3t073m-the-podcast-of-the-lotus-eaters-775.html
So your point seems significant in that this interview could serve as some sort of major tipping point for a lot of society’s gen-z normies that comprise his audience.
I think that is THE real story here.
I fought this battle in university classrooms for forty years. I was continually amazed at how seemingly intelligent students couldn’t grasp the implications of “Nazi” being National Socialist, or on the left side of the political spectrum. A few began to get it when I pointed out that Hitler went after the communists early on to eliminate competition on the left, but many continued to insist that his war in the streets with communists was proof positive that the Nazis were right-wing. The indoctrinated mindset was firmly in place– in 1974.
The little Bohemian corporal did not want to bring back the Hohenzollern throne/monarchy.
What the Left does that is clever is simply redefine words.
Historically, it has always seemed to me that the Left co-opted the word “liberal” for itself, with far too much agreement from the freedom-minded of the society.
For the thousand years of civilization leading up to 1776, the primary mode of government was simply degrees of totalitarianism. No one was more loath to change than these cultures. These were the “conservative” governments, rulers by reason of force and willingness to slay, by simple definition of the word. They wanted to conserve the status quo, whether monarchy or empire or whatever form of rule that had Elites and then everyone else. And of course not in any good way were they “everyone else”.
It was English philosophers that first asserted the concept that everyone had a basic sovereignty over themselves. They were entitled to individual liberty. These were the first true “liberals”–the root of the word is the same as “liberty”–they advocated for individual freedom. The conservative governments of the day always resisted, and successfully, until 1776.
As soon as the communists got going, especially in America, suddenly the nomenclature reverses. The word communism was anathema to Americans and therefore to Communists. So slowly and steadily, with the help no doubt of the NYT and WaPo etc. the “liberals” now favored centralized government with a bureaucracy of elites (and of course a Main Elite–Lenin, Stalin, Hitler–over these masses, who willy-nilly it seems played along and as politics divided the nation, came to be known as conservatives. But in truth, historically, modern day “liberals” are the historical embodiment of kings, tyrants and dictators of ages past. These were “conservatives’ to the point of off with your head if you didn’t bow it when they walked by.
they had a form of communism there in the 1500s in – what was it? – Georgetown? one of the earliest American settlements
a commune of sorts
pretty quick they recognized that some wouldn’t pull their weight
and they had a pretty quick reformation of sorts in response, I believe
loosely – I never really heard it covered in depth in the couple of history classes I might have had, and I generally didn’t read the textbook
The first form of communism in North American was Plymouth Colony 1620. It was put in their contract by the investment sponsors of their voyage and settlement. Everyone was to work 7 days a week and put their results into common stores. It was soon discovered some people worked less hard than others and recognized the system was unfair and less productive. It was abolished by Governor Bradford in 2023. Wise man.
Well, in Jamestown anyway, early 1600s, Pocahontas’ guy John Smith issued the Biblical mandate thusly, according to the scholars on Wikipedia: “You must obey this now for a law, that he that will not work shall not eat (except by sickness he be disabled). For the labors of thirty or forty honest and industrious men shall not be consumed to maintain a hundred and fifty idle loiterers.”
I think that pretty much lays the foundation for the only ultimately workable political philosophy that could actually bring peace on earth and something like good will to men.
Yes!
And “Left” is one of those terms.
Anybody who uses the Left’s terms automatically cedes the high ground to the Left.
Left is a self appellation. A paranoid style of thinking. Us versus them.
It was birthed in the run up to the first French Revolution.
The American Revolution may have been the shot heard around the world, but it was rejected for the mad tyranny of a paranoid mob that called itself “The Left”.
And it failed big time. American freedom stood. But the Left begged Napoleon to rule over them.
And the French have taken to numbering their failed Revolutions.
The Left festered for a while, creating all sorts of isms to use against the rest of the world. But then it grew communism.
Marx was really good at distorting the view of the world and creating warped terms to use in controlling people. He put his taint on the term. And the heirs of his warped thinking have marched forward to control the entire world.
Thus it turned fellow leftists into enemies too. At best, they are useful idiots. But some became full enemies. All to be dominated and controlled
In a very brutal, you are with us or you are against us, anybody who would not submit to Lenin or Stalin was deemed ‘Right’.
There is no logic. Just atavistic fear and the urge to control everything.
And any attempt to impose logic is trying to fight them with their warped terms. You will lose when you let them define the terms.
Worse, Marx, wanting to control everyone and everything, created his little theory of everything to oppose everything in the world, and warped the view of everything in the world into strawman arguments to be defeated.
So there are many more concepts to fight the left over. Freedom, economics, religion, everything in the world is warped and twisted in to an enemy to be defeated. Each warped in a phony left vs right logic.
Changing the definition of what sits on the right or left of the political spectrum is not new, although I have never once thought of Islam as a right wing anything…. However, sometimes is hard to dig the sticker out of the weeds .. it’s helpful so many have acknowledged the call to establish a global economy is the March to communism.
Ayn Rand used to put all flavors of totalitarianism into a bucket called Collectivism, and posit the Individual as the opposite.
So, obviously Hillary has read and plagarised Rand, for her BASKET (instead of bucket) of Deplorables.
Figures,…
How could islamism be anything BUT extreme leftwing?
islam is a totalitarian socio – political system covered with a religious patina.
Instagram/facebook has been doing the same thing. Now they are shadow banning anyone whom they deem as a Conservative voice. Not only do they shadowban your main account, but they also shadowban any future accounts tied to your ip address, or phone. I have 5 accounts that are all shadowbanned, meaning I can comment, but none of my actual comments show up for others, So Zuckerberg and his Modern social media Nazi’s are interfering with my ability to gain a following, or even communicate with anyone, including family on the apps. Conclusively they interfere with Elections that way as well, since nobody will see whom I support, or my messages of support.
I see the “continuum” more fundamentally as one of godly or godless.
Leftists everywhere in the world are declared enemies of God; but conservatives accept either explicitly or implicitly God’s sovereignty.
This is seen in the American Declaration of Independence – the spiritual core of America in which individual rights are derived from God himself and laws are derived from the individual consent of the governed.
The godless leftist alternative is seen in systems ranging from islamism to communism to fascism to anarchy (Antifa) which accepts no rule but the godless will-to-power by the godless insane.
The godly will always defend religion and the right of conscience. The godless will always attack religion and limit individual rights of conscience.
True freedom in God under the rule-of-law in various government systems on one side. True servitude without God under insane rule if the totalitarian on the other.
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”. (John Adams)
I would like to respectfully point out a possible error in the politics of right v. left and freedom v. authoritarianism. Libertarianism is not right, it is actually to the left of Communism. Libertarianism is a political party that somehow got twisted into a form of government that no one can really define because it is actually at its core stateless socialism. Stateless socialism is also known as tribalism or communalism or.. a form of anarchy which in practice is very authoritarian because it is essentially rule by the equivalent of a HOA.
The Tea Party style of governance, or minimal, responsive governance, is what should be where you have Libertarian as the “less government” choice. I fairly often successfully argue that most people who identify as Libertarian are actually properly Tea Party.
Further right where you have anarchy, I would probably place Sovereign Citizen, which, according to law enforcement, is the most dangerous terrorist group in existence. That makes sense because the furthest right would be the greatest ideological threat to our authoritarian government.
Originally, “Libertarianism” would be what many now think of as “Strict Constitutionalists”, before it, like everything else was hijacked.
NO “illegal” drugs, so heroin, cocaine, lsd are all “legal” …and all medicines are “OTC”….sounds CRAZY and “leftist”,..yes?
In the body of the Constitition, please show me where any power is vested in any of the 3 branchrs of Government, to regulate medical “substances” or indeed any ‘medicines’?
And, such a system of non-regulation would mean ANARCHY, yes?
Actually, virtually all of the gray countries in that map Sundance regularly posts, with WEF in yellow, and non WEF in gray,..have no “Drs Rx only” restriction on medications.
This includes India with its population, as well as every country South of the U.S. Southern border,..
Anyone can walk into a pharmacy, and buy any medication, like buying a pack of cigarettes or loaf of bread.
Anarchy? Many are horrified at the suggestion that WE do not need, or benefit from Government regulation of our healthcare.
“Libertarians” and old time Liberals both were champions of individual LIBERTY, i.e. our Founding Fathers were the original “Liberals” or “Libertarians” and this notion has been under attack since our Founders first voiced it.
Bohemian Grove….
A possible, in-practice example?
Farmers. Farmers are independent, strong willed, self reliant. What is California doing?
RESTRICTING Water, RESTRICTING ag land (taking land out of production), not building funded dams (Sites Reservoir, which would be the state’s 7th largest Reservoir if fully built.
Now the state passed a $20 PER HOUR FAST FOOD MINIMUM WAGE, with further raises from there, for any chain of 60 or more restaurants.
California is outlawing Natural Gas appliances, more Control. Residents are incentivized to ripe out grass, and they just allowed local entities to ban artificial grass.
It never ends.
Matthew 10:22
You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.
Sundance has his political spectrum exactly right. As Lew Rockwell says, I’m “anti-war, anti-State, pro-market”. Classical liberalism means that civil society would do just fine without a State. The State is a parasite that the Ruling Class uses to extract unearned rents. Read Murray Rothbard or watch his YT videos) for more information.
A limited government is God-ordained, see Romans 13.
Liberaltarians generally want no government, e.g., no drug laws, no prostitution laws, etc., and want just the market to govern. But the human heart is desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17), and greed and covetousness will bring disastrous results in such a system.
Romans 13 was written by St . Paul when Christians were being fed to lions in the Colosseum. After St. Helena’s boy the Emperor St. Constantine declared Christianity the Empires religion 300 years later things changed for Christians. I doubt St. Paul would have said the things he said about subservience to government if being a Christian weren’t a death sentence as it was when wrote his letter to the Romans. You’ve got to read things in context.
It was only understood by us conspiracy theorists.
UNIPARTY! Any questions?
The sooner we get this straight the sooner we can make the corrections required.
Wake Up! It’s all fraud, the wars, pestilence, privation is all part of “their” plan and it doesn’t include you and I, in fact they’d rather us be dead, prove me wrong.
Ultra-MAGA!
His points are right on. Read further here: https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/09/defining_who_we_are_not.html
A simple proof statement of Sundance’s point on Democratic totalitarianism is show by the way in which the entire Democratic House votes as a 100% block on everything…..not unlike the Chinese and old Soviet government assembly….N Korea as well. Not a single dissent. When AOC and squad raised objections about Ukraine funding at demand of their constituents, the reversed fear and fell into line the same afternoon. The left media criticized the House Republicans for chaos……but that was actually democracy at play with dissenting views.
Meant to say…..they (AOC and squad) reversed course and fell back into line the same afternoon.
Perefect example of critical thinking.
It was clear to me many years ago (this would be in the 1960s) that the left in this country was, despite its avowal of “free speech,” etc., actually totalitarian. So it only seemed natural that they would admire Islam’s ability to control almost every facet of its adherents’ lives with a minimum of force. Interestingly, about fifteen or so years ago, I heard on late night radio a dedicated leftist making just this point.
With a minimum of force? Ask any Islamic woman or Iranian woman about that…
I was at a fed soc meeting years ago where a speaker mentioned that even under Ronald Reagan the government grew bigger.
I’m not sure there are any serious conservatives in politics. That’s how bad it’s is.
Reagan never controlled domestic policy, only foreign. He was a grave disappointment after the assassination attempt by Hinckley. I believe it was a “warning “ by the CIA.
I find it frustrating that even this conversation veers into “viewpoints” and “ideology” when the real reason for total control is far simpler – power and money.
Peopke weren’t silenced because of ideology per se. People were silenced because allowing them to speak might result in them losing money. The ideologies are a fad… a facade. The ideologies are not immutable. The lust for money, however, is.
By the politicians. Their sheeple are fed the ideology.
It should also be tangentially related to the part of the story regarding the Taliban, it was reported yesterday that the USG is sending around $70M every 2 weeks (if I recall accurately) of US taxpayer money to the Taliban thru the UN for ‘humanitarian’ aid.
Afghanistan- the sponge that just keeps sucking away.
and Ukraine
BK,
I read that and wondered,….is there ANY Country, in the entire world, that does NOT recieve some form of U.S. Govt. ‘foreign aid’?
Whether military or ‘humanitarian’, and whether direct or thru NGO’s.
Second question;
Is there ANY Govt. in the World, that pays ANY amount of $, as ‘aid’ TO the U.S. Govt.?
Ideology has its basis in the tribal nature of the sociopathic mind. The sociopath operates from the brain’s limbic system without moderation from the frontal cortex. Sociopaths know only one approach to others and that is to be a predator, to dominate and take what others have created unto themselves. This becomes ideology but it truly based on maldevelopment by a percentage of humanity.
The majority of humans are geared to cooperative survival i.e., the Golden Rule. Sociopaths have ruled the world precisely because the rest of humanity has not woken up to how powerful cooperative enterprise has been to human development. Cooperative behavior is quiet, subtle, not controversial and aggressive which describes sociopathy.
Being aware of human behavior is to cure to not giving sociopaths the suthority they crave.
An interesting take on this right-v-left canard. I have long believed that this inaccurate dichotomy serves mainly to confuse not very informed people, and is used by demagogues to cloak their Hitlerian Will-to-Power. My understanding is that the left-right divide was first used to describe the opposition within the radical French government after the revolution in 1789. There it described, poorly, the pro-monarchists (right) from the Jacobins (;eft). It truly has very little resonance today, excepting that the totalitarians of today are similar to the unhinged murderous Jacobins of pre-Napoleonic France. Insane, murderous, nihilistic.
To me, the division today, and really always, is between those who create systems of exploitation by force, and those, more productive people, who seek acknowledgement of their individual rights to build their own lives. In America, this divide neatly follows the division between Christians and the various forms of paganism and self-as-god moral structures of today’s chaos. Jews of today, fall usually along the lines of Christians, but often are anti-Jews and follow the arsonists and totalitarians. Israel is a huge fault line in the Jewish community worldwide. Israel’s very real peril confounds the fundamental illusions necessary for the totalitarian perfect society to have credence.
Thomas Sowell identified the division as between the vision of fixed human nature as described in history and literature (tragic) and the various childish illusions of human malleability and sublime societies where all things operate like a mechanism. This latter vision of perfect safety and harmony, a great desire of mortals, is incidentally a description of stasis, specifically death.
Today the allusion to right-wing is used merely to contextualize and reduce the outrages of the “left” as the foolish Bill O’Reilly used to do, always asserting there was a balance of craziness on the mythical right that allowed tolerance of the Democrat party vermin that were destroying our society and civilization.
I think Musk has been recruited by CIA. They probably cut a deal with him .
Yes indeed, at a fundamental level, there is no difference between Uni-Party Democrats and Uni-Party Republicans.
At least that is the way I see it.
Always keep in mind that this is on the toob, and supported by spotify, so the controllers want you to hear this.
I remain suspicious of any thing and everything that I find and file in this category.
Darpa remains a thing and is likely still a part of any social media.
Still looking for truth.
Was Jack forced to sell to Elon? That has always rattled around in the back of my mind. Too much of the deal makes no sense, however, we all have a front row seat to what unfolds. I imagine Elon has sold AI and his vision to they who must be obeyed.
Sundance, THANK YOU! for pointing out the distinction! I’ve been pondering how Nazism is “far right”, meaning anything to the right of Marx including our Founding Fathers’ Core Principles and MAGA, and Marx is “far left”. The definition that you’ve laid out makes far more sense!
I explain it as Hitler (and Mussolini) politically stood just to the right of Stalin but all three stood solidly to the left of the political center.
The ideological confusion is deliberately orchestrated–and ongoing
It seems that a group that participated heavily in government $pon$ored censorship is still running their guerilla campaign to convince America that they’re the best advocates for them. Follow the Edge Project money (see their commercials now at a TV near you) and you’ll find millions of Zuckbucks behind it. They ask “Gee, who wouldn’t want to prevent censorship?” It’s like Blackrock’s small-town “look how much good we can do for you” commercials with the folksy acoustic guitar background. “Where’s the money?” is still a window into what you need to know.
‘Left’ and ‘Right’ are misleading terms, as Rogan’s question indicates, putting theocracies on the ‘Right’. The Nazis were state socialists, but a bizarre sort of theocracy (the ‘Master Race’), so also get placed on the ‘Right’.
As Sundance points out, the Founders of our Republic understood full well that the issue was, and always is, Liberty versus Tyranny. Ronald Reagan understood it perfectly: “ As government expands, liberty contracts.”
From what I can see, the progs have turned on Elon for his high crime of pulling back Twitter’s curtain (just a little so we get just a peek). So now they hate him, they hate X, they hate Tesla, SpaceX and whatever else he may do in the future.
Whatever his flaws, I have to give him some credit for pissing off all the right people.
Meet the new boss. He’s no different from the old boss.
Whether Musk is blind or willingly blind, his X is still cancelling all the Right views.
In response to Musk saying the ratio of censorship on the Twitter platform was a multiple of 10 times greater for “right-wing” or centrist views
I would hope that could in some way reflect the overall national sentiment 10 to 1, and the desire to just get “those people” to shut up was a response to that ratio
“was not well understood by the public”?
IS NOT well understood by the public.
Most people have no clue that most of what they’re allowed to see on social media, not just Twitter, is controlled by the US government directly or controlled by hard core leftists carrying out the hive mission.
People think they’re being brave or smart or “getting the word out” on Twitter. No. If you were saying anything truly dangerous to the Government Party you’d have been banned by now. Or suppressed.
It just boggles my mind that people still use that sh$$ machine.
