When you are observing the news or a social media post, when someone is trying to convey a message, ask yourself who is to benefit? This is a term called "Cui Bono"
With cui bono, you can find facts or sources of an individuals true intentions. It is also another way to determine your own biases without realizing it because if the information you absorb gives you satisfaction without seeking sources or facts, you have a bias for/against that information.
This episode is short but straight to the point! Dedicated to all lovers of Truth!

In Part 2 of 2, we will be discussing the current events of the stock market: Who are WallStreetBets, why did Gamestop go up so high and so quickly, why is Reddit users who are part of this wanting to HOLD and who they are up against.
Furthermore, the hedge funds have created a situation for themselves that has led to a $70 BILLION dollar loss.
I elaborate, simplify, and explain what is going on, why it's happening, and my personal thoughts on the matter.
In part 1 of 2, I will be discussing censorship and its problems, Section 230 and its powers, as well as the challenges of freedom of speech. How "hate speech" has been used as an excuse to ban groups like "WallStreetBets" from Discord and where do we draw the line from overreach and freedom.

History in the making: First U.S. President to be impeached twice, problems with policing within the Capital Hill Police Department, and tech companies declaring who and who should not be on their platforms based on political beliefs.
