...the rise of a “Censorship Industrial Complex”, a network of U.S. government agencies, and government-funded think tanks. Over the last six years, these entities have coordinated their efforts to both spread disinformation and to censor journalists, politicians, and ordinary Americans. They have done so directly and indirectly, including by playing good cop/bad cop with Twitter and Facebook. Hundreds and perhaps thousands of people have been involved in these censorship and disinformation campaigns in the U.S., Canada, and the UK.

I like that term, “Censorship Industrial Complex”. It’s more specific than “Deep State”.

To be honest, censorship and “yellow journalism” have always been with us. Rupert Murdoch is a modern version of William Randolph Hearst (Citizen Kane).

That’s why you gotta love what Elon Musk is doing. Daily I try to read his Twitter feed. He is the champion of free speech and he’s showing the world why it’s vital to publicly expose the way the underlying algorithm is applied to keep on-line discussions civil without destroying free speech.

Ha! He’s transforming the “Al Gore-ithms” of Gestapo Censorship and Politicized Science into “Freedom of Speech algorithms”, tools to Make America Great Again.

We are blessed to have this man as the leader and beacon of American industry. Combine that with the courage and wisdom of President Trump and you’ve got a double whammy for saving our Republic and returning it to civil sanity and law-in-order.

Ironically, living in Japan now, I see a country that America thoroughly conquered in World War II, but who — out of the ashes, death, and rubble of total defeat — has nonetheless preserved and built upon the virtues of a free, moral, and civil society better than America has.
