Former Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (D) suggested that former President Barack Obama is behind the Biden administration’s creation of the Disinformation Governance Board.
It was announced as "miss and disinformation governance board". Why are they governing disinformation? Notice they didn't say disinformation identification , prevention or elimination. They are just being honest and saying they want to control disinformation.
Good post. I just watched an interview with Gareth Icke, son of David Icke. First time I'd seen him, and a good interview. He said something I've seen around a bit here and there, which is: THIS ENDS WHEN WE SAY NO. There is an awakening going on, and it's gathering speed. And I agree with the interviewer and Icke that we need to be brave, NOT allow the Nasties to get us feeling frightened and hopeless, keep some humor in our lives, and realize that non-compliance can be pretty easy... I am not trying to say we don't face some very hard times, especially if we live in poorer countries... And I'm not about downplaying the seriousness of where we are in our human history... But it's also the beginning of what I believe will SURELY be a great New Day.
We who live in "western" countries have so much more power than we realize. It really is positive thinking we need, I say, and please don't think I am downplaying your post-- Not at all! It's a call to action, and we who are more empowered, and have more wealth can do things that need doing.
I have a new mantra now, that I say to myself, and comes from long ago when I spent years, from time to time, thinking about what the phrase from the NT could possibly mean, "Resist Not Evil" -- I now answer that with "Work Around It." That's my mantra: Work around it, Jaan E, just work around it. Courage and Hope are contagious. I'm trying to spread THAT, and not to over-focus on the evil deeds of the pathetic and psychopathic ones trying to do harm. Work around it!
Judge Learned Hand: "The law is not just it is just the law." And "The law, being an inherited accumulation, imposes itself on each generation willy-nilly. Any society whose members enter and leave it severally must for very convenience, to say nothing of deeper reasons, proceed by tradition; the neophyte must adopt existing habits and ways of acting, if for no better reason, through inexperience and diffidence. Mere custom will do the rest as he proceeds. And so the rule is canonized, its origins, and therefore its meaning, are ignored. But genuine learning is quite different."
One of the primary concerns in designing the new American republic, if not the chief concern, was how to balance the need to establish rule by the majority (democracy) with the equally compelling need to restrain majorities from veering into impassioned, self-interested attacks on the rights of minorities (republican government)... The point of the Constitution, and ultimately the Supreme Court, was to establish a republic, not a pure democracy, that would place limits on the power of majorities...
This version of Apple Pie America is I believe not accurate in any sense. For instance, the Articles of Confederation enabled 13 very different polities to win the war with England. The Federal Constitution was a tool of control by the Atlantic seaboard Grandees. The Anti-Federalists were a group of Americans who objected to the creation of a stronger U.S. federal government and opposed final ratification of the U.S. Constitution as approved by the Constitutional Convention in 1787. The Anti-Federalists generally preferred a government as formed in 1781 by the Articles of Confederation, which had granted the predominance of power to the state governments.
Led by Patrick Henry of Virginia – an influential colonial advocate for American independence from England – the Anti-Federalists feared, among other things, that the powers granted to the federal government by the Constitution could enable the President of the United States to function as a king, turning the government into a monarchy. We came close with Samuel Adams. Closer still with Lincoln. And arrived with WW1, WW2, and Cold War, and post-Cold War into a Bureaucratic Monarchy.
