Fresh from censoring select voices before and after US election, Twitter howls 'HUMAN RIGHTS' as Uganda shuts down social media

A supporter of Uganda President Yoweri Museveni is shown taking a selfie in front of a campaign poster for his re-election.
After banning the US president and other voices challenging Joe Biden's election victory, Twitter is aghast that Uganda has shut down the social media conversation two days before voters there go to the polls.

"We're hearing reports that internet service providers are being ordered to block social media and messaging apps," Twitter said on Tuesday. "We strongly condemn internet shutdowns. They are hugely harmful [and] violate basic human rights and the principles of the open internet."

With tens of thousands of conservative voices, including President Donald Trump, being banned by Twitter and other Big Tech platforms in recent days, the irony of the company's statement was not lost on critics. "Shutting down voices online is a violation of human rights in Uganda but necessary to protect democracy in America," Blaze TV host Lauren Chen tweeted.


Media critic Mark Dice said, "Maybe they don't want Twitter interfering in their election like you've done in the US."

Pelosi uses list of gendered terms after introducing resolution to oppose them

Last month, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi proposed a series of new House rules, including banning the use of gendered terms.

Instead of using "he" or "she," members would be required to use "member," "delegate," or "resident commissioner."

Similarly, instead of saying "father" and "mother," members would say "parent;" "brother" and "sister" would be replaced with "sibling."

But, in a speech Wednesday, she seemed to throw everything in that proposal away, doing the exact opposite.

"I stand before you as a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a daughter," Pelosi said while speaking on the House floor to demand Trump's impeachment.


The resolution Pelosi proposed just last month read: "Strike 'father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, first cousin, nephew, niece, husband, wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, stepfather, stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, stepbrother, step sister, half brother, half sister, grandson, or granddaughter' and insert 'parent, child, sibling, parent's sibling, first cousin, sibling's child, spouse, parent in-law, child-in-law, sibling-in-law, stepparent, stepchild, step-sibling, half-sibling, or grandchild.'"

Seems like the idea is easier said than done, Nancy.

Comment: Welcome to the new pseudo-reality, comrades. Good luck navigating the insanity.

Republican congresswoman to file impeachment articles against Biden immediately following inauguration

Freshman Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she'll file articles of impeachment against Joe Biden the day after his inauguration.

The Georgia Congresswoman announced her decision via Twitter and reiterated her promise on Newsmax, specifying her articles would impeach him for "abuse of power":


Greene added three hashtags to her tweet - including "#QuidProJoe" and "#BidenCrimeFamily" - which appear to invoke the former veep's son's host of corrupt, foreign business deals, often with the Chinese Communist Party.

Comment: By Democrat standards, Harris, Pelosi, and countless others should also be impeached. In fact, Trump was impeached for allegedly doing what these Democrats have been doing for ages - and he didn't even do what they claim he did. That's ideological paralogic for you.

Media are accusing Republican lawmaker Gohmert of insurrection for quoting Nancy Pelosi's words

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX)
Corporate media journalists and left-wing activists took to social media on Wednesday to spread claims that Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas is in favor of inciting insurrection.

"Here's a quote. 'I just don't even know why there aren't more uprisings all over the country, and maybe there will be,'" Gohmert said on the House floor during the impeachment debate.

While Gohmert specified that what he was saying was a quote, taken directly from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's previous statements encouraging uprisings, journalists and activists quickly twisted his words, publicly speculating and claiming he was calling for increased political violence around the nation.

"Louis Gohmert: 'I don't know why they aren't more uprisings all over the country,'" Blake News, a Politico editor tweeted.

"Louie Gohmert calls for more violent uprisings claims Nancy Pelosi is destroying the American experiment and quotes the History Channel in about two minutes," tweeted Sarah Reese Jones, a managing editor and columnist at PoliticusUSA.

Comment: Blue checkmark = certifiably detached from reality (in what seems to be the majority of cases).

Trump calls on Americans, Big Tech to help ensure peaceful transition: 'No violence'

US President Donald Trump
President Trump on Wednesday is calling for "all Americans" to help "ease tensions and calm tempers," saying he does "not" stand for violence "of any kind" -- and he's asking Big Tech to join the effort. Trump's statement came before House impeached the president a second time, days before Biden inauguration:
"In light of reports of more demonstrations, I urge that there must be NO violence, NO lawbreaking and NO vandalism of any kind. That is not what I stand for and it is not what America stands for. I call on ALL Americans to help ease tensions and calm tempers. Thank You."
The White House press office later sent out the statement while attempting to post it to all of Trump's official social media accounts. A senior Trump adviser told Fox News:
"President Trump is asking all Americans to join with him in ensuring that there is an orderly and peaceful transition next week. President Trump is also asking that Big Tech companies join with him in this effort. This is a critical time in our nation's history and surely we can all come together to deliver this important message and not continue to play partisan politics."

Comment: Remarks from Jonathan Turley on Trump Impeachment #2:
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley says 'the president would have standing to challenge' the impeachment trial potentially taking place after he is no longer in office 'and the court could rule on it.'
Additional from The Hill as others comment:
At least six Republican lawmakers have announced plans to vote in favor of Trump's impeachment, including House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney (Wyo.), the third most powerful GOP member in the lower chamber.
"The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing. None of this would have happened without the President. There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution.

"The president, however, has signaled he bore no responsibility for the violence, telling reporters Tuesday that his remarks before the attack were "totally appropriate."
Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) said Tuesday:
"I call on President Trump to address the nation and explicitly urge his supporters to remain peaceful and refrain from violence. If our nation experiences additional violence and destruction at the hands of his supporters ... and he does not directly and unambiguously speak out now when threats are known, he will bear responsibility."
The Left has been utterly silent regarding multiple uprisings around the country and the mayhem, destruction and loss of life that ensued. Their inactions speak louder than words.

City Hall will yank the Trump Organization's multimillion-dollar contracts to operate four popular attractions in the Big Apple's public parks, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Wednesday.

Hizzoner accused President Trump of inciting the mob that rioted on Capitol Hill in violation of provisions barring criminal behavior. Mayor de Blasio told reporters during a virtual morning press conference from City Hall:
"This president has committed an unlawful act, he has disgraced himself, he will no longer profit from his relationship with New York City. It's quite clear the president of the United States committed a criminal act. He directed an insurrection against the United States Capitol. Period. That's criminal, that's treasonous."
The Trump Organization operates four major attractions in city parks: Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point in The Bronx, the Wollman Rink at the southern part of Central Park, the Lasker Rink at the northern end of Central Park and the famed Central Park Carousel.


Comment: Trump is being hit tooth and nail from all directions. The Left's propaganda machine must be damned proud of itself.

Israeli warplanes carried out a series of intense air strikes near the Syrian towns of Deir ez-Zor, Mayadeen and Boukamal along the border with Iraq on Wednesday, amid heightened tension in the region, driven by fears of retaliation for the US killing of Iran's Revolutionary Guard commander Qassem Soleimani last year in Baghdad.

A US intelligence official has claimed that the United States and Israel coordinated the intense airstrikes that targeted eastern Syria early Wednesday. Syria's state news agency SANA said the strikes were carried out by Israeli warplanes with intelligence supplied by the United States.

Other countries are protecting their food supplies. Argentina, Russia, and Ukraine have all stopped exporting to be able to feed their people. Yet the USA continues to export hand-over-fist to China -- based on the data from the USDA. How is this happening? Who is in control? Christian asks some hard questions tonight on this troubling Ice Age Farmer broadcast -- and the answers demand that we start growing food immediately.

Is the establishment planning a false flag on Inauguration Day?

Inauguration Day

The question in the title is legitimate in light of the extraordinary and unusual letter signed by all members of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff condemning Trump supporters for insurrection and calling on the US military to remain ready for another attempt at sedition on inauguration day.

In the Joint Chiefs' own words: "The violent riot in Washington, DC on January 6, 2021 was a direct assault on the US Congress, the Capitol building, and our Constitutional process."

There was no riot, no assault on the Capitol, and no insurrection. As the videos show, there was no "storming of the Capitol." Police allowed rally attendees inside, and they walked in calmly in line. (See, for example: New Footage Shows Pro-Trump Demonstrators Being Let Into Capitol, Orderly Protesting Contested Electoral Certification)

Instead of insurrection, there was a defense of the Constitution by Americans protesting what they believe to be a stolen presidential election, the result of which is to consolidate power over the people in the hands of a corrupt Establishment.

The Joint Chiefs know this as do the presstitutes, Nancy Pelosi, and the members of Congress. So why are the Joint Chiefs warning of an insurrection?

One answer is to add to the blackening of Trump's reputation. The Joint Chiefs most certainly dislike Trump who intended to take away the "Russian enemy" on which the military/security complex's budget and power depends. Russiagate began immediately when Trump spoke of "normalizing relations with Russia." The entire Washington Establishment hates Trump, because Trump said he was going to take power away from them and give it back to the people. Go listen to his inaugural address.

Let's hope the Joint Chiefs' gratuitous letter is just payback and not preparation of the public for a false flag insurrection staged for the purpose of putting the latest domestic terrorism bill that criminalizes dissent on a fast tract.

WHO warns 'second year of Covid-19 could be even tougher'

Ongoing transmission dynamics show the world needs to brace for an even tougher year of fighting Covid-19, the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned, while the disease has turned into the "perfect storm" in Europe and the US.

"We are going into a second year of this, it could even be tougher given the transmission dynamics and some of the issues that we are seeing," WHO's Health Emergencies chief, Mike Ryan, said during a Q&A session broadcast online on Wednesday.

Following a drop in new cases reported over the holiday season, the numbers are "picking up" again - and the overall picture does not look particularly promising, the senior official admitted.

Comment: The last year certainly didn't live up to the coordinated fearmongering, and it would appear that more were killed because of the lockdowns than the coronavirus. However, with the en masse roll out of experimental vaccines, nearly a year of psychological torture and confinement, and the now mandatory mask wearing - the perfect breeding ground for bacteria - it's likely that masses of people are suffering deteriorating health, and so WHO's prophecy may finally come true, just not for the reasons they're claiming: COVID Mass Vaccination Experiment: Prepare For The Worst With This Health Protocol
