You have surely heard that your search results on Google (with 92 percent share of the search market) reflect not your curiosities and needs but someone or something else’s views on what you need to know. That’s
hardly a secret. And on Facebook, you are likely inundated by links to official sources to correct any errors you might carry in your head, as well as links to corrections to posts as made by any number of fact-checking organizations. You have likely also heard of YouTube videos being taken down, apps deleted from stores, and accounts being canceled across a variety...

We Are Being Warned That Nanobots Will Be Flowing Through Our Bodies “By 2030” And Will Be Used To Connect Our Brains To The Internet
|

End of The American Dream ^
| 5/16/24 | Michael Snyder
nce thousands of nanobots are zipping around inside your body, will you still be in control of your mind, will and emotions or will the nanobots be running the show? According
to Google, a nanobot is “a hypothetical, very small, self-propelled machine, especially one that has some degree of autonomy and can reproduce”. Scientists here in the United States have been working on nanobots that can travel through our bodies at astonishing speeds, deliver medicines to targeted locations, and even enter our brain cells. Eventually, researchers hope to use nanobots to connect our brains directly to the Internet. I realize...

Why the internet is comparing the Met Gala to 'The Hunger Games'

| May 7, 2024 | Meera Navlakha
--snip-- The Met Gala drew comparisons to The Hunger Games quickly online on Sunday. As social media flooded with reactions to the spectacle of the red carpet, others were acutely aware of the scenes unravelling outside the prestige of the gala. Just
about a mile away from the Met, hundreds of pro-Palestine activists demonstrated in protest of the war, with many blocked from entering the gala itself. And miles away, Israeli armed forces carried out an assault on the city of Rafah, resulting in dozens of casualties and injuries. Simultaneously, the student movement across college campuses in the U.S. has...

Beattie does it again: Lights up the internet with another J6 investigation involving a shadowy new character…

Revolver ^
| May 9, 2024 | Darren Beattie
Revolver’s very own Darren Beattie, who’s made waves with his investigative deep dives into the January 6 “Fedsurrection,” is at it again. He’s
just unleashed another bombshell. This time, he’s shining a spotlight on a J6 character who’s been lurking in the shadows. Meet Donell Harvin, the latest Trump-hating Deep Stater who conveniently pulled a “Miss Cleo” and “predicted” the entire J6 pipe bomb scenario way before it actually unfolded. That seems a bit fantastical, right? It makes you wonder: is the government running psychic hotlines these days, or is something far more sinister at play? Probably the latter. Thankfully,...

Gavin Newsom Asked the Internet to Submit Designs for a New Coin Honoring CA's Innovations, and Hoo Boy..

| 04/28/24 | Jennifer Van Laar
So on Thursday Newsom was again roasted online when he announced that California is getting its own $1 coin to honor innovation in the state and asked the internet for submissions. He
was already going to invite some choice responses from that simple invitation, then he made it worse by beginning his tweet with, "Calling all members of the Tortured Coin Designers Department," a reference to Taylor Swift's new album, "The Tortured Poets Department."

The Daily Fetched ^
| 24 April 2024 | Jason Walsh
Comedian Roseanne Barr sent X into a meltdown after she mocked Joe Biden by levying a fictitious accusation similar to those made by E. Jean Carroll against Donald Trump. In a video, Barr dramatically claimed that Biden assaulted her decades ago in a department store. Barr,
who acts distressed in the video, recounts her “experience” in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room – a parody of Carroll’s allegations against Trump.

What Would Be The Scariest Message Humanity Could Receive From Space?...The Internet has a few ideas.

If there are alien civilizations out there close enough to pick up our stray signals, there's a non-zero chance that amongst the first transmissions, they could receive the opening of the 1936 Olympic Games, meaning our first contact with another species (in the unlikely event that they picked them up) could include
a speech by Adolf Hitler. "This wasn't the first broadcast, of course," senior SETI astronomer Seth Shostak explained to RealClearScience. "But it was at a high frequency that might make it through the ionosphere." In the film Contact, this ended up being the first message humanity received from...

Elon Musk: Australia trying to censor the Internet for everyone

| April 23 | Elon Musk
@elonmusk Our concern is that if ANY country is allowed to censor content for ALL countries, which is what the Australian “eSafety Commissar” is demanding, then what is to stop any country from controlling the entire Internet? We have already censored the content in question for Australia, pending legal appeal, and it
is stored only on servers in the USA.

Larry Sanger Speaks Out - The Wikipedia co-founder discusses Katherine Maher and the corruption of the Internet.
|
| |
City Journal ^
| 18 Apr, 2024 | Christopher F. Rufo
Larry Sanger remembers the promise of the web. He
co-founded Wikipedia in 2001, with the hope that it could sustain a “free and open” Internet—a place where information, dissent, and creativity could thrive. At Wikipedia, he proposed a system of rules that encouraged users to “avoid bias” and maintain a “neutral point of view.” That Internet is gone. I reached out to Sanger following the revelation, from my original reporting, that former Wikimedia Foundation CEO Katherine Maher, who is now CEO of NPR, had explicitly rejected the principles of a “free and open” Internet, collaborated with government officials to censor...

The FISA 702 bill has been described by critics as a “dramatic and terrifying” expansion of the United States government’s surveillance powers. . The
United States National Security Agency (NSA) is only days away from “taking over the internet” with a massive expansion of its surveillance powers, according to NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. In an April 16 post to X, Snowden drew attention to a thread originally posted by Elizabeth Goitein — the co-director of the Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice — that warned of a new bill that could see the U.S. government...

This Country Cannot Afford A Weak Supreme Court Decision On Internet Censorship

The Federalist ^
| MARCH 21, 2024 | JOY PULLMANN
It is obviously un-American for the government to develop a ‘hit list’ of citizens to mute in the public square through secret pressure on communications monopolies. The
Biden administration attempted to distract the Supreme Court from the voluminous evidence of federal abuse of Americans’ speech rights during oral arguments in Murthy v. Missouri Monday. It sounded like several justices followed the feds’ waving red flag.“The government may not use coercive threats to suppress speech, but it is entitled to speak for itself by informing, persuading, or criticizing private speakers,” said Biden administration lawyer Brian Fletcher in his opening remarks. He...

The doctored photo shared by Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales—in the wake of her alleged abdominal surgery—has ignited significant controversy across various online platforms. However,
the conspiracies swirling around the Princess and her health were brewing long before the emergence of this infamous photograph. What is it that prompts such intense scrutiny and fuels the spread of conspiracy theories surrounding the Princess? Moreover, why are royalists, the apathetic and anti-imperialists all equally captivated by the media frenzy surrounding Kate?

President Biden’s team on Thursday quickly removed the press when he said he would take questions at an event in Saginaw, Michigan, and social media users blasted the "incredible scene." Biden
visited Saginaw on Thursday to push his re-election campaign and speak to volunteers supporting his bid to retain the White House. The trip included a visit to a 131-year-old Victorian mansion owned by members of the Saginaw City Council and Saginaw Public Schools Board of Education. At the mansion, Biden stood on the porch with his back to members of the press when he could be heard saying, "Can...

bet it never crossed your mind that even though you logged off the internet, your computer is still vulnerable. Yes, if you fail to actually turn the internet off first before you log off, you are leaving your pc's hard drive vulnerable to being hacked. It doesn't happen to everyone, but it does happen enough. Imagine all the vital information you have on your computer that someone could steal. Well, very few people know about this, but there is an OFF button (off button below) that needs...
