Comprehensive peer reviewed paper published on Covid-19 handling. It looks exhaustively at sociological precedents and curtailing of liberties to make a sobering conclusion.

Preface: I'm hosting this peer reviewed, published (Feb 2021) scientific paper after reading each and every word of it. It is probably the defining scientific analysis of the mess we find ourselves in today, at least that I I am aware of. Its exhaustively and meticulously researched, outstandingly well referenced and structured with rigorous scientific discipline and academic fortitude. I cannot highlight enough just how difficult this is in the science/sociological/political/cultural grey area. They have cleverly cited Covid-19 as a background to which the main theme of hysteria is explored. This is genius and gives them alot  more scope than they otherwise would have had. They don't even use innuendo because the points all make themselves.

To best frame what I perceive its value is I must first highlight what I can see is missing. This paper states upfront and throughout that its fundamental assumption is one of a reaction to circumstance, opportunism and fear. This is the case with some past cases of hyteria, and by implication herefore the current hyteria. I know this is not in fact the reality. I know that the evidence of orchestrated collusion of special interests and a scripted, as well as opportunistic handling of affairs is overwhelming. After reading this based on how well reasoned and structured it is I have become convinced that at least one, probably more, of these authors understand this and for reasons of political expediency have chosen the path of least resistance allowing them to bring all sorts of well reasoned and undoubtedly true information together to make a compelling case without jeapordizing peer review or risking a smear campaign which would render all of this research in vain.

Its an art to walk these sorts of metaphorical tightropes, and this research certainly has its place. I have learned from it and perhaps you will to, even if its value as a collection of references to yet more academic research on the matter is more valuable to you. I will be mining this for sources for years to come.

You can find the original at The International Journal For Environmental Health And Public Affairs HERE listed as free, I'm not to sure about what stays free and for how long.

Globalist Censorship Of Independent Voices Kicks Off

Believe it or not the current wave of censorship on private platforms (which hide behind the claim of not being publishers or content creators and therefore can't be sued for libel) was planned, coordinated and EXPECTED!

Jones Statement on his banning accross globalist platforms of Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and others.

The Ron Paul Institute's Daniel McAdams discusses his Twitter ban.

It's not really as much of a partisan Issue as you may think, left leaning independain voices such as Secular Talk and the Jimmy Dore show  that are anti war are also being "shadow banned" and demonetized.

I have also been banned, shadow banned, flagged for spam unjustly etc at various points during the last year.
And it only gets worse and worse,. FACT: Facebook is teaming up with NATO to censor news.

 If you want to get a sense of what's really going on here is the chilling backstory.

Don't get too caught up in who is being censored, if we claim to believe in freedom of speech we should defend everyone's right to free speech vigorously even if we don't agree with them, but there is an larger issue at stake even than our right to free speech: The right to be the ones controlling the narrative and exploring options of controllability of public thought. The Orwellian notion of "Thought policing"

As the Corbett Report video touches on, partisan squabbling IS ALLOWED AND ENCOURAGED. Why? I explain in this post below:

What to do about it?
The answers are all in these posts I've written.

More Alternatives to group think and consensus reality

• 

Don't fall for the red herring that the Cambridge Analytica scandal is about that group,  THIS IS ABOUT FACEBOOK!  In fact,  let's be serious here,  this is a broader issue  than that actually,  but that's not the point of this post.

If you really want to get to the heart of it Dean Henderson does a better job of deconstructing it than I do on his blog:
https://hendersonlefthook.wordpress.com/2018/03/20/cambridge-analyticas-facebook-mi6-psyop/

At the foundation it can be broken down into two main categories.  1) Search Engines and 2) Social Media.

I've already dealt with search engines,  be sure to read that post before reading this.  Here it is:
http://dwahts.blogspot.co.za/2018/03/alternatives-to-group-think-and.html?m=1

Regarding social media,  here are two perspectives :
https://www.rt.com/news/421856-facebook-cambridge-analytica-zuckerberg/

And:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-20/ftc-said-to-be-probing-facebook-for-use-of-personal-data

Make no mistake,  this is not about Trump,  or the Dems or any trivial partisan issues the presstitute echoe chamber will no doubt cough up,  this is much more fundamental and serves as nothing more than a reminder that there is algorithmic prejudice,  leaking (for both commercial and intelligence marshaling)  along with a general attitude of profiling and reality manipulatation that has psychological,  geopolitical and otherwise generally Orwellian unease associated with it.

Rather than getting bogged down in it I'll focus on Alternatives that don't serve this sort of ethos as obediently,  as I did with part 1) above regarding search engines.

Alternatives to social media sites like Facebook,  Twitter,  YouTube and the like. 

STEEMIT.  This is the gold standard,  a blockchain solution!

Bitchute.
Bitchute is a torrent based platform  and all within your browser which is very valuable for those who see this as a viable solution :
https://www.bitchute.com

Minds.
Minds is considered a solid option because it's encrypted,  open source,  community owned and places a lot of value on free speech,  which is one of the most contentious aspects of all of this.  There is a caution with minds,  I've been told there are issues but since I've not tried it I'll let you decide.

D tube. 
Any crypto-decentralized streaming platform gets my vote.  Comes recommended.
https://d.tube

VK.
For those of you disillusioned or suspicious of Western social media? Are you the sort of person who doesn't #BlamePutin every time you get a flat tyre?  VK was originally a Russian platform now gaining massive popularity worldwide.

As usual if you have suggestions or cautions,  I'm only too happy to hear them,  see the contact details for me in the non-mobile web version of this blog.

Question Less?

RT's questions are clearly getting under somebody's skin

In a massive blow to free speech in the UK & 24 Hours after US Secretary of State, John Kerry, met with British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson  to discuss the situation in Syria, television station RT (Channel 407 in SA) received a letter from Natwest Bank to inform them that their bank account had been closed.  Natwest is a 73% state owned bank and their letter gives no reason and simply states that the decision is final and that the matter is not up for discussion.  This issue is much bigger than one broadcaster because the issue of free speech in general is addressed, as well as whether other institutions beyond broadcasting authorities are involved in enforcing censorship of non-establishment agenda's. This is very curious and of course the timing  is very interesting, but is this a surprise?

No, of course not.

RT has been a massive spanner in the works for the establishment media and a key instrument in putting an alternative perspective into the public domain to break the war-machine’s propaganda instrument for selling the idea of war to a war-weary public.  RT has made it their mission to give the Russian perspective in Syria and other regime change hotpots and in doing so has undermined the rationale that a forced regime change via military means is a reasonable path to take.  I would take this a step further and propose that RT has introduced the element of debate itself into the public realm and this is very, very bad for the establishment because the more questions that are asked, the more likely lies are to be uncovered. To “Question More” is a terrible idea for the political and banking class because they do not want the average Joe running about asking all sorts of annoying “questions” about how their tax money is being spent.

I guess congratulations are in order, well done RT, this is yet another sign that your disruption in the media marketplace is worthy of intervention from above and a testament to your success.  Please, for all of our sake keep up the good work, this is a battle that transcends your station and Natwest Bank and gets to the heart of the very notion of free speech in Western society as a whole.

Why Blaming Alternative Media and Russia Is An Act Of Desperation For The Clinton Camp

As I pointed out in my earlier post on censorship, Google and Facebook are tight with the Bilderberg crew, the US neoliberals and Israel, not with Russia.
http://dwahts.blogspot.co.za/2016/08/so-you-think-censorship-is-not.html

People in the west are turning to new media because they too have seen the disasters of endless, immoral, illegal, costly and pointless wars. They have seen the fact that globalism is about making life for corporations easier, not about making life for individuals more connected and just. They have seen the fact that their governments which call themselves the most forthright and honest in the world, are actually doing the same kinds of corrupt deals that they accuse governments in distant lands of doing.

The policies of perpetual war, surrendering one’s country to globalism, and reliance on double standards to hide corruption at home, are all things that official Russian policy has pointed out and rebuked.

It is therefore only natural for many in the West to look at Russia’s record and say, ‘They mostly got it right where the West almost entirely got it wrong’.  Like Russians after the 1990s, people in the west too want to ‘question more’. The only difference is where Russia’s new, young political classes had no outward hostility to new media, in the West the opposite is true.

So You Think Censorship Is Not Happening To You?

Welcome to the Rabbit hole. I suggest everyone who hasn't ready Daniel Estulins book on the Bilderberg meetings either read it or do some equivalent research.

It's fascinating because it starts at the top, the captains of industry and leaders of all the worlds most influential sectors have a yearly meeting where they all get a chance to hob-nob and.....

Do what exactly? Do your own research.  There is no other conceivable reason for these people to meet other than to maintain competitive advantage, and the recruitment of their latest two proteges, Google and Facebook, have made their jobs soooo much easier.

Once you read this you will want to ditch Facebook altogether! (Link below)

It's the age of the algorithm. Yes, the algorithm  with AI makes it easy for a computer program to gently filter through all of our interactions on comments, posts and elsewhere, and make subtle yet nuanced manipulations to our sentiments.

It is thought that Google alone holds the key to election outcomes, but it's not just the big issues where this comes into play.

I am a blogger, and I blog about controversial and provocative subjects so I am far more likely to fall victim to this sort of mischief by the software programmers.  Without manipulation I am very much more likely to enter the realm of debate purely by the nature of what I blog about but I do careful research and the factually consistent nature of my posts makes it very difficult for the "tin foil hat" insult to stick. Somebody who takes issue with my views usually finds the burden of proof to much and retires from a discussion or debate.  It's like that when you argue for the truth instead of a baseless opinion, you are much more likely (in the long run) to be vindicated.  I completely understand why it would be much more effective to silence me or marginalize me and others like me(who take the time to research facts).

Scary?  It's already been done.  I've noticed it a bit but it's only when you dig a little deeper that the scary truth really emerges.

An exercise for you at home to experience how your sentiment is subtlety manipulated:

On Google Type: "Hillary Clinton is"
Auto-complete will volunteer the following options:
Hillary Clinton Israel
Hillary Clinton is awesome
Hillary Clinton is winning
and one or two others as at today's date 15/August 2016

On Bing you will get instead:
Hillary Clinton Israel
Hillary Clinton is a lying crook
Hillary Clinton issues
Hillary Clinton ISIS plan

....you get my drift?

Here is what "The Guardian" says about it's famous censorship (never mentioning the fact that it lets some users post, shows them their OWN post but others can't see it, so they have no idea they were censored) The Guardian, you see, it doing it only for our own good.... yeah right!

What are some solutions?

For Social media:
You will have to individually monitor each case, send screenshots, complain on the the community forum, report the topics they typically censor, try trial status updates with provocative words and experiment to see where they penalize you.  Whether you know it or not your contribution on Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, Instagram and elsewhere is being managed under the pretense of "Spam Filtering"  It's done in this manner for PR purposes so that the overall user sentiment comes out in favor of the censorship, it's a clever angle in.

This is real. It's a reality and we need to start acting like grown-ups and taking accountability for how informed we are.  I no longet take it easy on ill informed, there is still enough freedom in information in todays world to be better informed and if you choose not to you are complicit in the crime.

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke 

Be Vigilent:
Those that seek to censor will always use the excuse that they are trying to protect us, that they should decide what we can deal with, that dropping bombs brings peace and that there is a simple explaination for everything.  Don't fall for it.
For a broad reaching starting point to the uninitiated, try the grassroots movement ANONYMOUS, they are "Hacktivists and as a result have many tech-tips that could be useful for online activity and censorship awareness

Censored blogger back online

Its always pleasing to see  a blogger who brings well researched causes that don't receive extensive coverage, even in alternative media, win a groundless censorship battle against the inane front that seeks to suppress the most socially relevant  cases of genuine injustice for reasons not always immediately apparent.

Cases like this are critical to such causes, I frequent Mohsen Abdeloumens wordpress blog regularly because he frames the relevance of his issues so well within the broader global context that you never get the sense you are dealing with an isolated issue, which makes for more satisfying reading.
