Google whistleblower & conservative influencers file lawsuit to punch Google & restore free speech

punch google
The unprecedented censorship we are facing is the biggest threat to democracy in our history. Imagine waking up to find that, without any notice, you have been deplatformed and deleted off YouTube; years of your work — poof — gone in an instant. When someone violates someone's right to speak, they violate your right to listen. This type of digital assassination is enough to make you want to punch Google in the kisser.

Censorship In An Age Of Technofascism

On October 26th, 15 YouTube content creators filed an emergency injunction against Google-owned YouTube. The federal lawsuit, which is being led by Google Whistleblower Zach Vorhies and filed by Cris Armenta and Credence Sol of ARMENTA & SOL, is seeking a temporary restraining order to restore the Plaintiffs' accounts. Vorhies was a software engineer for Google/YouTube for eight and a half years, and both Ms. Armenta and Ms. Sol have experience litigating against Google.

The suit alleges 17 claims for relief, and accuses Google of breaching the Terms of Service (TOS) and violating their First Amendment rights. The courts have now assigned Judge Beth Freeman, an Obama appointee and Berkeley undergrad, to the case.

The hearing of We The People vs Google has been set for Monday morning, November 2nd, at 9 AM PST, 11 AM CDT, and it's open to the public to listen in, but recording it is a violation of federal law. Plaintiffs invite the public to listen in.

Lord Sumption: 'This is how freedom dies' - The folly of Britain's coercive Covid strategy

lord jonathan sumption
During the Covid-19 pandemic, the British state has exercised coercive powers over its citizens on a scale never previously attempted. It has taken effective legal control, enforced by the police, over the personal lives of the entire population: where they could go, whom they could meet, what they could do even within their own homes. For three months it placed everybody under a form of house arrest, qualified only by their right to do a limited number of things approved by ministers. All of this has been authorised by ministerial decree with minimal Parliamentary involvement. It has been the most significant interference with personal freedom in the history of our country. We have never sought to do such a thing before, even in wartime and even when faced with health crises far more serious than this one.

It is customary for those who doubt the legality or constitutional propriety of the government's acts to start with a hand-wringing declaration that they do so with a heavy heart, not doubting for a moment the need for the measures taken. I shall not follow that tradition. I do not doubt the seriousness of the epidemic, but I believe that history will look back on the measures taken to contain it as a monument of collective hysteria and governmental folly. This evening, however, I am not concerned with the wisdom of this policy, but only with its implications for the government of our country. So remarkable a departure from our liberal traditions surely calls for some consideration of its legal and constitutional basis.

When SNL gives up on you: Host scolded for 'irresponsibly' joking that not much will change under Biden

The Daily Beast pounced on comedian John Mulaney for 'inexplicably' and 'irresponsibly' joking that a Biden win won't change much in America. Apparently even comedy now has to toe the party line and speak no ill about Joe.

Mulaney, who hosted this week's Saturday Night Live episode, drew an angry rebuke from the Daily Beast for his opening monologue, or rather the specific part that compared the upcoming presidential election to an elderly man contest. Depending on the results, he said, "we might have the same elderly man or we might have a new elderly man."

Keith Ellison wields power to restrict freedom of assembly of political opponents at Minnesota Trump rally

The venue for President Donald Trump's political rally in Minnesota scheduled for Friday will be restricted to only 250 people after Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison put pressure on the business owners of multiple locations.

The rally was initially planned at the Rochester airport, but Ellison's office demanded a "COVID preparedness plan" from officials from the City of Rochester, Olmsted County, and the Rochester airport, as well as the Republican National Committee to ensure the event was safe.

The event was then moved to Dodge Center, prompting Ellison's office to ask the Trump campaign and the owner of the building McNeilus Steel for their "COVID Preparedness Plan."

That prompted the Trump campaign to move the event again, back to the airport.

The campaign said in a statement sent late Thursday night:
"Thanks to the free speech-stifling dictates of Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, only the first 250 people will be admitted. Without question, Minnesota Democrats had hoped that the President would simply cancel the event, but he will not allow partisan politicians to deprive people of their First Amendment rights to gather peacefully to hear directly from the President of the United States."

Cartel-linked Mexican governor calls on immigrants in US to vote for Biden

A Mexican governor took to social media to ask people originating from his state who live in the U.S. to vote for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden in what he called an opportunity to end "a long night of racism and hate." The governor was previously accused by a top cartel boss for exchanging money for votes in his own election.

Through a video posted on Twitter, Michoacán Governor Silvano Aureoles asked "paisanas and paisanos" in the U.S. to vote in support of Biden, claiming that President Donald Trump hates migrants.
"This November 3, the U.S. is having elections that are determining for you who live and work and have family on the other side. You have an opportunity to choose a humanitarian government with a different approach that knows and understands the needs of migrants."

Comment: Biden's only 'vision' is to garner immigrant votes with empty promises.

Tensions flare after Black man killed by police near Portland

Clashes among protesters erupted late Friday evening following a vigil held for a Black man shot and killed by police Thursday in a city near Portland, Ore.

According to The Associated Press, hundreds of people had gathered for a vigil in Hazel Dell, an unincorporated area of Vancouver, Wash., where family and friends say Kevin Peterson Jr., 21, was shot Thursday night.

Clark County Sheriff Chuck Atkins said in a statement Friday that a joint city-county narcotics task force was conducting an investigation in the city located about 12 miles north of Portland Thursday evening, which led to the chase of a man into the parking lot of a bank.

According to Atkins, "the man reportedly fired his weapon at the deputies. The deputies returned fire and the subject was tragically killed," adding that a firearm was later recovered at the scene.

While authorities have themselves not yet named the person who was shot Thursday, Kevin Peterson Sr. told The Oregonian/OregonLive that the person was his son, Kevin E. Peterson Jr.

On Friday, as hundreds of people gathered for a vigil, tensions erupted nearby with clashes between left- and right-wing protesters, according to the AP.

Philadelphia stores beg thieves to leave them alone after third night of looting

Philadelphia businesses put up signs begging for looters to leave them alone as thieves ran rampant for the third night amid unrest over the police shooting death of a 27-year-old black man.

"We work here and live here," a large sign read on a boarded-up storefront in a devastated area of the City of Brotherly Love, photos show.

"It's been looted already," another store said on its boards, explaining that the Cambridge Beauty Supply store was family-run and had been in the area for 30 years.

Comment: Jim Kenny finally manned up and ordered a curfew, but didn't release the shooting footage until the National Guard was in place
The curfew will be in place until 6am Saturday, and only those who are going to work, seeking medical assistance or dropping off a mail-in ballot will be allowed to leave their homes, the city announced on Twitter. A similar curfew was imposed for Wednesday night, after Black Lives Matter protests escalated into riots that left 53 police officers wounded, dozens of businesses looted and ATMs around the city blown up on Monday and Tuesday.

The protests began after two police officers fatally shot a knife-wielding black man named Walter Wallace Jr. on Monday. Video recorded by a bystander shows the officers backpedaling as the 27-year-old Wallace moves toward them and ignores their commands to drop his knife.

Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police President John McNesby asked on Wednesday that city officials quickly release all available evidence on the shooting to "support your officers, back your officers, and let's get a handle on this thing." But Mayor Jim Kenney said on Friday that he and the Wallace family agreed to release the bodycam footage and 911 audio of police being called to the scene on November 4 "in the hope that it will provide enough time to ease tensions and release the recordings in a constructive manner."

The second curfew was ordered just as hundreds of Pennsylvania National Guard troops were setting up their positions in the city after being deployed by Governor Tom Wolf earlier this week. Kenney said the troops will be stationed at government buildings and other infrastructure and may be sent to other key areas, such as business areas, as needed. He said their presence is unrelated to Tuesday's election, and the need for their continued deployment will be reviewed on a day-to-day basis.
Philadelphia's branch of the BLM organization continued to show its tolerance and inclusiveness by burning down a Vietnamese Baptist church
On Tuesday night the BLM mob torched a Vietnam Baptist Church in Philadelphia — because racism.


Baptist Press reported:
The building of Vietnam Baptist Church in Philadelphia was burned Tuesday night (Oct. 27) during the second night of unrest in the city after the police shooting of a Black man Monday (Oct. 26).

Pastor Philip Pham received a call Tuesday night from a church member whose friend had seen the flames and seven fire trucks surrounding the church.

"I have no idea why they attacked our church," Pham said. "They burned it from the roof. They threw flammable chemicals on the roof and [flames] burned through the roof" and down through the rest of the building. He said the facility is a "total loss."

Of primary concern to Pham were three hard drives. Since before purchasing the building in 2005, Vietnam Baptist Church has served as something of a community center each weekday, providing help with immigration paperwork, taxes and even marriage counseling.

Two New Orleans cops 'ambushed' by gunman riding in pedicab

Officer seriously wounded; suspect arrested, tried to bite first responders, witness says

A pedicab passenger inexplicably shot a New Orleans police officer in the face in the French Quarter on Friday afternoon, just as revelers began arriving to celebrate Halloween weekend.

The officer was wounded at about 4:25 p.m. while in his patrol vehicle near St. Philip and Royal streets. Other officers took him to a hospital rather than wait for paramedics, and police arrested the alleged gunman within minutes, Police Superintendent Shaun Ferguson said.

Ferguson said the officer was in serious but stable condition after being shot under his left eye. The bullet was lodged in the officer's skull, but the four-year veteran, whose name was not immediately released, was responsive as he walked into the hospital holding his cheek, Ferguson said.

Libtards' crusade against 'Irreversible Damage' book: You are a heretic in woke America if you oppose trans treatment for kids

An author attempting to publish a book arguing against transgender treatment for teenagers realized that woke America has no time for "common sense" after receiving backlash over her publication.

Published in June, Abigail Shrier's Irreversible Damage argues that teachers, therapists and the media are encouraging vulnerable teenage girls to identify as "transgender," and pushing life-changing treatments and surgeries - including puberty-blocking hormones and double mastectomies - on these teens.

Childhood gender dysphoria is a relatively recent phenomenon, but one that has entered the mainstream. At a town-hall event last month, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden even said there should be "zero discrimination" against children wanting to transition. In this woke climate, Shrier said that she faced immense difficulty in voicing her "commonsense" opposition.

'Coon chip activated': Rapper Lil Wayne hit with racist backlash after becoming latest black entertainer to support Trump

Rapper Lil Wayne became the latest black entertainer to endorse or show willingness to work with President Donald Trump - an offense deemed such a betrayal by leftists that all the rules on racist attacks went out the window.

Lil Wayne met with Trump in Miami on Thursday to discuss the president's "Platinum Plan" for investing $500 billion in black communities. The rapper tweeted a picture of himself with the president and praised Trump for taking action to help black Americans.


The Twitter rage mob was inconsolable in response. "Lil Wayne's coon chip activated?" black comedian Jessica Frye tweeted on Thursday night. Another offended observer said, "Uncle Tom's Cabin must be Lil Wayne's favorite book."

Another commenter claimed to be ahead of the crowd in spotting the rapper's tendency to get along with white people: "Everyone is so late to the party that Lil Wayne is a self-hating Uncle Tom dust mite." Writer Bryson Henry called Lil Wayne "a contrarian coon" who is now "full-fledged, just like Mr. (Kanye) West," while comedian Karlous Miller was simply in disbelief that "Lil Wayne did that."
