Censorship is going to get a lot worse--at least as bad as the CCP or N. Korea--if the proposed RESTRICT Act (S.686) passes. It has bipartisan support, and Biden has promised to sign it.
The RESTRICT Act will allow unprecedented digital surveillance of Americans, and it gives an appointed executive panel unchecked power to censor the internet in the U.S.
The RESTRICT Act will empower the national security state to impose up to a $1 million fine and up to 20 years in prison along with seizure of all your property for visiting websites that, while truthful, conflict with government narratives and for using devices like VPNs to circumvent the bans.
Processes and actions taken under the RESTRICT Act are exempt from the Freedom of Information Act.
The RESTRICT Act is being justified by the irrational fears drummed up over TikTok. In other words, a fraudulent narrative is once again being used to justify a sweeping new law which nullifies our constitutional rights. TikTok is the new WMD. The RESTRICT Act is the PATRIOT Act on steroids.
Because Americans in this time we're in are drugged, beaten down, ignorant, addicted to video games and other means of distraction, taught to obey "authority" and so on... well, we're in a real fricken mess, as you outline.
So how do we get OUT of this mess? I can see only one real path that will work, and that is non-compliance, resistance, and I believe, stopping the 5G and lesser power Cell Towers that are harming us and all life all over the world. We're being slowly cooked, and there are weapons now that can take down very small targets. The War Machine has turned on its own people, and everyone else, too.
There is no question, we have to put an end to this insanity. HOW is a matter of discussion, but I think generally speaking, I've outlined it. Do you agree? What do you think? And yes, I'm putting myself "out there" because some things are more important than others...
Tough question. "Educating folks one by one," as Pamela said, is one thing we can do. We need real leaders to stand up and spread the truth. Maybe RFK Jr is the person we need.
Well, perhaps. I think he is having a lot of difficulty with the idea that viruses have not been isolated -- ever-- and his hesitation is understandable, until one realizes that the science is pretty clear about this. I'm talking about actual science, not some "religion" of science, lol.
Most people have a hard time getting their heads around this... because we've been told viruses are real for over 100 years! It's a snake-oil operation that has become a vast cash cow! But it's also because most people simply can't be bothered to look into it. It's not difficult to understand that ISOLATION is easily done on many many kinds of things, and with viruses, the process is utterly absurd and bizarre, and any CHILD could understand how it isn't viable as anything scientific...
So there's THAT.
There's also the idea of looking to GOVT or VOTING to solve these problems we're facing-- because people want to put RFK into the White House. If he makes it there without being killed, it's unlikely he's on our side, OR they'll kill him once he's IN there, like what happened to his uncle. I wonder that he hasn't looked at the science of viral "isolation," since he is an attorney, no stranger to science, WELL aware of the evils of vaccines, AND his citation in his book was astonishing... and I know, he did have help with that.
Anyway, before I write a book here, I think we would do better to veer AWAY from govt., at least on the federal level. We need good leadership, but I'm thinking it should maybe come from the People, and not anyone already enmeshed in the Oligarchy...
If we want a government that truly reflects the will of the people, IMO we need: ranked choice voting and multi-winner districts to replace winner-take-all districts. Fairvote.org calls it fair representation voting. We also need the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. The Senate is the most wildly undemocratic institution we have. A senator from Wyoming who represents 600,000 people has the same vote as a senator from California who represents 20 million people. The senate needs to be reformed or gotten rid of. The oligarchy wants none of these reforms of course.
"Banished from Twitter in Dec 2020 with false claims of multiple accounts"
The censorship in this country is intolerable.
In a corporatist oligarchy, corporate media are state-owned media.
Petty tyrants, Govt'l tyrants, citizen tyrants... they're ALL tyrants.
Censorship doesn't engender PEACE, it engenders fear. And fear engenders resentment. And resentment engenders ANGER...

What are the chances that whoever drafted this bill has a Langley, VA address?
Who is going to save free speech and free press?
Agreeand more reasons we need to free Julian Assange!
Absolutely. Some of the corporate media seem to be getting onboard, so maybe there is a ray of hope. Unfortunately, the Biden admin is not budging.

You're right on target.

Wish I had an easy answer but educating folks one by one is my only success so far.
There are no "easy answers" when we put them into practice. xo
You're doing your job, and ANY success is SUCCESS!
Never doubt that truth is truth even if it's only whispered. ^_^

"we would do better to veer AWAY from govt."
And veer towards what instead?
I googled, "have viruses been isolated?" and found a bunch of articles that said they had, including this one:

Okay, if viruses don't exist, what causes polio, measles, and other diseases we attribute to viruses:
