1. So two of my three main news sites (Drudge is the other, in addition to incidental stuff on Yahoo and Facebook)–Lucianne and InfoWars–have recently been hacked and taken off-line by computer sabateurs.What does the Left fear, if not the truth? Why Alex Jones in particular? He speaks often of high level interest in pedophilia, in sex trafficking, in organized conspiracies, of pervasive corruption. It was certainly a conspiracy that took him off most social media. And he predicted it.There are no conservatives trying to hack left wing websites. We win our arguments through debate. Who but aspiring totalitarians win through censorship, violence, and aggression on every front open to it?
This stuff is ugly. It may not affect you yet, but there is no reason that it will not someday. Someday you, too, will cross some line you did not realize existed until you face consequences you don’t understand, which are not fair, which you cannot defend against, and which are unavoidable. This is the spirit infesting large segments of our nation, and nesting very comfortably throughout the tech sector, among the many among them whose antisocial personality disorders make radical politics their only option for feigning a moral sensibility.
An attack on any of us is an attack on all of us. Even the ACLU has finally realized this.
2. Here is Alex Jones on all this. Here is my view: half the stuff he says seems crazy. He himself CERTAINLY seems crazy. I have great trouble watching him, and rarely do.
But why the attacks, if there is no truth behind what he is saying? No one is committing acts of violence based on anything he says, and, conversely, people ARE committing many acts of violence based on things Facebook/Apple/Google et al see no problems with. This is not principle based. There is no hate they are remediating. His is not a hate site. His is a site which says things THEY DON’T WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT.
The only logical conclusion is that he is RIGHT about nearly everything, or at least enough that he is dangerous. There are many powerful people who do not want you to hear what he has to say..
Jones is saying, unbelievably, but now everything is believable, that the goal is to bring about a Chinese style social scoring system, where people win or lose points on a scale based upon their conformity to the beliefs the Party (in this country, the Democrats, and the Republicans who are more or less on their side) wants them to hold.
Apple recently made the tyranny in China much more effective by making every electronic transmission in China much easier for the police to track. This was an evil move, which will certainly result in death, torture, and the continuation of an evil oligarchic regime. Why do this, unless they are either amoral, or anti-moral to the extent of fundamentally agreeing with most of the views of the Chinese Fascist elites?
Do you want to gain or lose promotions based on your Facebook posts? Do you want your political affiliations to be used in determining whether or not to hire you? Do you want colleges vetting your political conformity prior to even considering your applications? Need I go on? Is this the world you want to live in? Because that is where we are heading, and Jones is one of the ONLY people willing to state this directly, clearly, and openly.
And do you think if you are a Democrat, now, that that is enough? It will never be enough. You have to hold ALL the right views. They simple tighten the net as they rope in the major outliers, then they move to the minor outliers. If this is allowed to continue, freedom will be gone within ten years at the outside in this country, and indeed in Jones case is disappearing NOW.
This should concern everyone with a pulse, a brain, and a conscience.
