Because what has succeeded in the past will be used again. WHO Declares ‘Infodemic,’ Announces ‘Misinformation’ Surveillance Program

Ignoring the First Amendment is a feature, not a bug, even though Alex Berenson settled out of court and the Twitter files showed how his first amendment rights were taken away.

Western Decline: ‘Am I Gay’ Web Searches up 1300% in U.S.

This is a story that has been forced by ads. My husband, every single time he is on YouTube, has an ad in the corner that asks, "AM I GAY". It is clearly designed to generate the type of search discussed in this article. A few months of clicks, and boom, now we have a story.

And when surveillance turns into action?

Cavet WHO and the UN are not bound by the 1st Amend. 

Which is why the left keeps trying to hand internet control to the UN.

Actually, no. I woke up before 5:30, tossed and turned for who knows how long, and then gave up.

Yes. Precisely. If China is allowed to have stations in the US--and they are--then I don't see anything stopping the government from allowing the UN to have stations here, too.

Not to forget the US government has been outsourcing 1st Amendment violations to big tech.

And 4th amendment violations of searches also outsourced to tech. At least, I think it would qualify under that, although I'm sure many courts would disagree.

Stumbled upon this....

Where is the Outrage?

The former USA president, putative candidate for the next presidential election, admitted that he wanted to “collapse” a duly elected democratic government in this Hemisphere; to take it over, to appropriate all its oil. This is an admission of the violation of fundamental international laws and an intent to commit crimes against Humanity.[1]

Emphasis mine.

I first misread that as "socialist" but I think I am also correct.

Good evening, Pres'dent Biden
And Kamala, how are you
You have so much hatred in the things do
And here comes Ilhan Omar;s he always hates the Jews
Does that hatred include me, or is it just for a few?
A few that makes, oh Biden a home in their own state
A home that you hates, there are still fears that reverberate

Biden, you say common ground, does taht include the PLO>
What about Jews right here who voted for you not so long ago
The babble flos so freely dancing from your lips

... left off here

But this also shows why I’m done with Trump.  Stupid, blow hard thing for him to say. And it’s not even true. The Maduro regime was nowhere near the point of collapse when he left office, unfortunately.

If Trump is the GOP nominee, I will vote for him over anyone the Dems can run. Especially "Bye, den".

But should I vote in the Republican primary, DeSantis gets my vote. I think he is more likely to win, as he does not engender the revulsion Trump does with some people.

(I am "unaffiliated' and can chose the primary I vote in. Which one I vote in depends on how things look when primaries roll around.)

I don't get the slavish following he has. I never liked his personality, or his tendency to shoot his mouth off.

The only positive reason I had for voting for him was his judge list... every other reason was he was not Hillary.
