Simply masterful.

June 13, 2016 by SURAYA MOHAMED * Sometimes big-name artists need special attention. But in this case, it wasn’t because they’ve been jazz pioneers and innovators since the 1960s and are considered to be founding fathers of jazz fusion, not to mention two of the most important jazz figures performing today.

21 JUL 2023. The Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government held a hearing on Thursday, July 20, to address concerns regarding censorship of Americans by both the government and Big Tech.

During the hearing, the subcommittee plans to delve into various aspects, including the federal government’s involvement in suppressing the free speech of American citizens, the Missouri v. Biden case, and the potential collusion between Big Tech companies and government agencies in stifling public discourse.

The aim of the hearing is to shed light on these issues and understand the implications of such actions on freedom of speech and expression in the digital age.

The House will hear testimony Thursday, July 20, on censorship of Americans by the government and Big Tech.

Please watch this.

24 MAR 2023. TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew’s “misleading and evasive testimony before the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Thursday adds to the substantial case that the app should be subject to a forced sale or a ban.” That’s putting it mildly or is?

“Chew’s odds of swaying lawmakers already skeptical of his brief were never that great to begin with, but the hearing became a demonstration of bipartisan resolve to counter the national-security threat posed by TikTok.”

08 FEB 2023. Dismiss China at your peril. And I disagree with this in its totality.

After the Russiagate Hoax, the Covid hoax, and the Insurrection hoax, We now Have the Chinese Spy Balloon Hoax 

According to Washington and the whore media, China sent a balloon that the Pentagon said “could” be loaded with explosives to spy on America. A top general said that similar balloons have entered US airspace undetected before. The balloon is huge–200 feet tall weighing in excess of a couple thousand pounds. So if such a large object can enter our airspace undetected, does this mean far smaller ICBMs can also?

Do understand that what is going on here is the purposeful creation of an incident for propaganda purposes to stoke up more animosity against China, and to spend more money on defense in Asia. We don’t have a Malaysian airliner to blame on China, but we do have a weather balloon.

After receiving a brainwashing by a Pentagon briefing, Rep. Jim Himes (D,Conn.) says that US officials will “learn a lot” from the pieces of the “Chinese spy craft” that was shot down.

Two other d…..t House members, one a Republican, one a Democrat declare the blown-off-course weather balloon “a violation of American sovereignty.”

The Chinese explanation is the only one that makes any sense:

“It is a civilian airship used for research, mainly meteorological, purposes. Affected by the Westerlies and with limited self-steering capability, the airship deviated far from its planned course. The Chinese side regrets the unintended entry of the airship into US airspace due to an unforeseen and unintended outcome. The Chinese side will continue communicating with the US side and properly handle this unexpected situation caused by wind and limited steering capability.” (A translation uses the term “force majeure,” an unforeseen event.)

10 DEC 2022. Over four years before Elon Musk took over Twitter and exposed the company’s collusion with Democrat politicians, government agencies and left-wing groups to silence conservatives on the platform, Alex Jones publicly confronted then-Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey about the biased censorship. He was  right. So why’s he still banned?
