No one in any official capacity (outside of Trump and Trump loyalists) questioning the massive overnight vote jumps in 4 key swing states was a real eye opener. It was so brazen I thought that there was no way it could be ignored. But nope instead we had republicans talking about massive gains with minority voters. It pissed me off and black pilled the shit out of me.
He does some stuff on Glenn Beck's network TheBlaze. If he was going anywhere it'd probably be there.
Fox in general but Levin was going after PA, MI, and WI the day after the election.
Which sucks because he's always been a good voice.
If these RINOS want these fucking senate seats they should show the people of Georgia that the Republican Party will fight for them and their voice. Instead they have chosen to attack the few courageous individuals who dared to call this for what it was. Who dared to testify under penalty of perjury. Why the fuck do they think this is the winning strategy. Uniparty fucking retards. I'm more pissed at the Republicans in this than anyone else. Grow a fucking spine.
Can't stress this enough. Call your elected officials.

Thanks that's kind of you to say that
Duterte is discussed in a separate context.
You're right about the longstanding tensions and I should've included that in my post. I think you're right about having a field day with it because overall it resulted in "only 1000" dead, not to be callous. But you can read the official fact finding reports. Facebook is cited in the first report and each subsequent report afterwards.
I learned about it from a documentary. PBS Frontline did a doc on Facebook and they have a segment on Myanmar. They run through the destruction Facebook has caused around the world including the Arab Spring, Myanmar, Duterte in the Philippines and a few other nations.
Unfortunately the documentary comes up short in diagnosing the danger of Facebook in my opinion. There are parts where they seem to be advocating for tighter controls on what information is allowed on the platform. When in my opinion the real issue is the vehicle that allows false information to spread - The Algorithm.
Fair warning though they try to connect all of these catastrophes to the 2016 election and the Trump Campaign's use of Facebook. They interview Brad Pascale for it. The interviewer seems hellbent on cutting Brad down but he does a good job of rebuffing every attempt.
Other than that it's pretty good walk through of the wrought Facebook has caused around the globe.
Up until a few years ago Burma was mostly cut off from the world. After they opened up Facebook, as part of their Asian expansion, pushed into the country by providing free cell phones to the people of Burma. The cell phones were meant to increase Facebook's numbers and as such were the only internet connected app on the phone. Since this was the first time most of the people of Burma had connected to the Internet - to them their concept of the Internet was Facebook and only Facebook. All information came through Facebook. All communication was done through Facebook. That was how aggressive and perverse Facebook's strategy was.
Burma, now Myanmar, is ruled by a military class. So shortly after all their citizens were online and communicating with each other some societal, economic and cultural problems were the topic of every citizens discussion. Seeing the growing discontent and unwilling to blame themselves the leaders looked for a scapegoat. They settled upon the ethnic minority Rohingya tribe, who in many ways lived completely separately form the people of Burma. The military leaders would post false information and edited videos on Facebook blaming societal problems on the Rohingya. Understanding how their citizens used Facebook they would spam the post with likes shortly after posting. Since the people of Burma were new to the internet they operated under the belief that the more likes a post had the more credence it was given.
What the Generals didn't know was that Facebook's algorithm looked for the very behavior they were conducting. The algorithm weighted content by time and interactions. The more interactions a post had the less time after posting meant the more Facebook would push that post to other users feeds. So the generals were unintentionally exploiting Facebook's algorithm to create the most sophisticated propaganda network imaginable. The people of Burma, even if they didn't follow these generals, would start seeing their posts with thousands of likes. Thus they thought the information they were receiving was true. And since their entire concept of internet was Facebook they had no way to access information to the contrary.
Unfortunately the posts weren't just blaming the Rohingya people they were calling for their executions, which eventually came carried out by the hands of ordinary people. In the years leading up to the eventual violence Facebook was warned on many occasions by human rights activists of the growing danger their technology posed in Myanmar. They were pointed to specific accounts, behavior and networks that contributed to it all. They ignored it all.
The UN found Facebook chiefly responsible for the ensuing genocide similar to the role of the Radio in Rwanda.
Guys an absolute degenerate. Like a decade ago he had an affair with his coworkers daughter. Girl got knocked up. He tried to get her to have an abortion. When she relented he resorted to threatening her day after day like he was bullying a school girl. With time running out he desperately tried to pay her to abort the child. When she finally had the kid he just stopped picking up the phone.
There were rumors at the time that the dad (his coworker) kicked the shit out of him when he found out.
Funny enough it was actually Zuckerberg that held out the longest on exacting their information flow to DNC standards. In one of his first congressional testimonies he clearly understood the danger and stupidity of making Facebook the authority on what information was true or not. Jack and Google were more than happy to cave. But aside from hiring some Atlantic Council despots Zuckerberg did not put an iron grip of control over the content of his site post 2016. Then after enough screeching about Russia Russia Russia he too put up the Silicon Curtain. Treason all the same.
His website is officially recognized by the United Nations for having caused a genocide in Burma/Myanmar too. Really a great contribution to humanity. The Great Connector and Divider he has become.
I agree with that assessment. In this case though the "no fraud" statement is because AP editorialized the headline. Apparently this is what he said:
AP dropped context from the headline: "Barr said people were confusing use of federal criminal justice system with allegations that should be made in civil lawsuits. Such a remedy for those complaints would be a top-down audit conducted by state or local officials, not DOJ"
From disclose.tv. No matter the case Barr should get his fat fucking ass moving.
Because the shows literally on a network you retard
Watch this. It's from shortly after the 2016 election with a second part filmed in late(?) 2018. Easily my favorite Bannon segment. In about the span of two hours he puts into context why a Donald Trump Presidency became possible, why people wanted to vote Trump and why Trump won.
Shoot Bannon into my fucking veins. I need news coverage half as focused as war room. Even just relaying what's happening on the ground at the state and local level has been such a boon.
BOB SAVE THE REPUBLIC
BOB FUCKING SPINDELL
Feel like Ezra has earned our trust by now. I mean be vigilant but there are people around him who have proven their purpose.
don't use a plastic straw
Ya use a metal straw like an adult. Have some class.
Swamp through and through. I think he has a great grasp of the rule of law and has been an articulate voice in the Trump administration for our laws. However, he has at nearly every turn protected the institutions instead of holding them accountable. Never so was that more apparent than when Trump was mulling a Snowden pardon and Barr put out a press release to Catherine Herridge in which he came out against the pardon.
A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one.
Because if he reveals the identity of one source no one would ever leak to Wikileaks again.
