Seven Things You May NOT Say on Facebook

The following is from a PJ Media email I recently received and it states there are at least ‘…seven things you’re not allowed to say on Facebook:

  1. Saying or suggesting that COVID-19 is a man-made virus or claiming that it was bioengineered. You’re allowed to say that it was studied in a lab or may have been leaked from a lab, but you can’t say it was man-made or that it is a “bioweapon.”
  2. You can’t say that vaccines or their ingredients are “toxic” or “poisonous.” You can’t even say that they may be “harmful” or “dangerous.”
  3. Claiming that “natural immunity” from having been infected with COVID-19 is safer than vaccine-acquired immunity is verboten. Saying that gaining immunity via a mild case of COVID-19 may be safer than taking the vaccine could get you booted from Facebook. Facebook wants you vaccinated, and that’s FINAL.
  4. You can’t say anything about a private individual having COVID-19 unless “that person has self-declared or information about their health status is publicly available.” That would, it seems, preclude you from asking your Facebook friends to pray for a parent or child who has the virus unless they’ve publicly announced it themselves.
  5. Also, don’t even think about posting anything that may “downplay the severity of COVID-19.” Says Facebook: “Acknowledging the existence and understanding the severity of COVID-19 is foundational to keeping people safe and aware of the dangers of this public health emergency.”
  6. “Discouraging good health practices” is also a no-no. Those practices include: wearing a face mask, social distancing, getting tested for COVID-19, and getting vaccinated against COVID-19. There’s no room for deviation on COVID panic-porn.
  7. Making “false claims” about the “safety, efficacy, ingredients, development, existence, or conspiracies related to the vaccine or vaccination program” is also forbidden. If you question the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines, you could find yourself in hot water with Zuckerberg and co.

You’re allowed to share your personal experiences about COVID-19 “in service of [Facebook’s] value of giving people voice”—unless, that is, you “promote or advocate harmful action around that claim.” So long as you stick to the narrative, you should be just fine.

Facebook and other totalitarians are trying to shut down any debate about the Chinese virus, continuing to insist that there is one Narrative and ONLY one Narrative. If you deviate from it, you’ll be booted from the platform. The list of topics you cannot discuss on Facebook continues to grow and, eventually, all conservative views and thoughts may be censored there.’

Eventually all of us who are conservatives will be forced off Facebook.

Twitter’s Weeding

I wonder why so many are moving to Parler if Twitter is truly promoting ‘more speech’?! ‘Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, amidst controversy surrounding Twitter’s censorship allegations, made the claim that the platform’s policies actually encourage “more speech.”

Dorsey, alongside Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding regulation of the content posted on social media platforms.

The main motive of the hearing, based on what the committee chairman Lindsey Graham says, is to help senators gain more information for evaluating Section 230, which safeguards social media companies from the liability arising from the third-party content posted on their platforms.

“I don’t want the government to take over the job of telling America what tweets are legitimate and what are not. I don’t want the government deciding what content to take up and put down. I think we’re all in that category,” said Graham.

Dorsey, throughout the hearing, claimed that Twitter’s controversial policies weed out abusive and misleading content from the platform, creating a safer space to express themselves, which according to him, promotes free speech. Yet, Dorsey didn’t address the danger in allowing Big Tech platforms to decide what is and what isn’t “misinformation” which is where the problem lies.’https://reclaimthenet.org/jack-dorsey-says-twitters-policies-are-designed-to-encourage-more-speech/

China Virus’ Obedient Aussie State Premiers

This China virus is being used by Australian state governments to frighten people and bankrupt small businesses. Cases of China virus does not mean deaths! One never hears a word against the country that sent this virus to the rest of the world. Instead the political ‘leaders’ have been obedient to their Chinese masters. Today, ‘Speculation is growing in South Australia that Premier Steven Marshall is about to announce tighter restrictions as the state grapples with a potential second wave coronavirus outbreak.

Mr Marshall postponed a morning briefing on Wednesday, after earlier confirming to local radio that more cases had been added to the Parafield cluster that is spreading across Adelaide’s north.

He is now due to speak at 12.30pm (local time).

South Australia introduced a host of lockdown measures as the cluster emerged on Monday. Gyms and cafes were among the businesses forced to close for at least two weeks, while there were also some limitations on gatherings and hospitality.’https://thenewdaily.com.au/news/coronavirus/2020/11/18/south-australian-coronavirus-nsw/

Losing Freedom via Masks

Crooks usually wear masks so as not to be identified. Therefore, it is not a surprise that ‘During Sunday’s broadcast of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Ron Klain, former Vice President Joe Biden’s pick to be White House chief of staff, signaled a nationwide mask mandate would be forthcoming in a new Biden administration.

Klain argued in the meantime that state governments should impose mask mandates.

“It’s a very grave situation. Back in September, then-candidate Joe Biden warned America was headed to a very dark winter if the administration didn’t step up its action. And the very first business day of his transition on Monday of this week, the president-elect met with his COVID task force and made a public statement afterwards where he called on all Americans to mask up. He urged governors to impose masking mandates now and reiterated the fact when he becomes president, he will impose one on a nationwide basis.”’https://patriotsignal.com/breaking-biden-doubles-down-masks-will-be-forced/

Wearing a mask is just one step for further encroachment of personal freedoms.

Biden’s Censorship of Speech

If Joe and that other person get the WH then freedom of speech will definitely be no more! Deplatforming will probably be the least of our worries! The CCP seems to have a lot of influence over this President wanna be and his team.

‘Richard Stengel, the head of the Joe Biden transition team for US state media outlets, is an outspoken supporter of “hate speech” laws, social media censorship, and other means that restrict or editorialize people’s speech.

Stengel was recently named on the Biden transition website as team lead for the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM) – a US government-owned agency that’s responsible for operating several state-owned media outlets which include Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.

USAGM also funds the Open Technology Fund which describes its mission as “support open technologies and communities that increase free expression, circumvent censorship, and obstruct repressive surveillance as a way to promote human rights and open societies.”

Yet Stengel’s past statements and roles show that he has a history of advocating for the suppression of speech based on censorship buzzwords such as hate speech, “disinformation,” and “misinformation.”

In 2019, Stengel wrote an opinion piece for The Washington Post titled “Why America needs a hate speech law.” In the article, Stengel suggests that hate speech “undermines the values that the First Amendment was designed to protect” and calls for states to “experiment with their own version of hate speech statutes to penalize speech that deliberately insults people based on religion, race, ethnicity and sexual orientation.”

Stengel has also claimed that several of the President’s statements are hate speech and tweeted that if America were to adopt a hate speech law, “the President might be in violation of it.”

In addition to advocating for hate speech laws, Stengel has also called for a rethinking of the First Amendment.’https://reclaimthenet.org/joe-biden-richard-stengel-hate-speech-first-amendment/

WordPress & Deplatforming Conservatives

The Left/communist/Marxist/Loonie/Lovies are out to keep all those with whom they disagree (usually conservatives) silent! Here at whatyareckon we don’t have that many followers but who knows what gets up the nose of the Left? We’ll wait and see but ‘WordPress has deplatformed the Conservative Treehouse (CTH), the blog announced on Friday.

The website, that has existed for ten years, has been denied hosting by WordPress.com, a hugely popular blogging service owned by Automattic – in yet another reminder of why reliance on corporate and centralized Silicon Valley services and platforms can be a mistake for any independent creator or publisher.

According to the site, WordPress informed the site’s owners that their content was “incompatible” with the company’s terms of use, giving them until December 2 to move the site to another hosting service.

Just like Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, and others often take down content and issue bans against users without providing any concrete reason for the decision, CTH said it was hit with deplatforming by WordPress without receiving any proper explanation as to why the content on the site was incompatible with that of the hosting service in question – other than perhaps for its conservative politics?

Citing some of the reasons WordPress might have justifiably removed the site, such as hate speech, abuse, violent or graphic content of any kind, the blog post concluded that CTH contains none of these, instead focusing on providing a “library of factual citations and explanations.”

The post also describes the site as a place of discussion and assembly, that has more than 200,000 subscribers and between half a million and a million daily unique visitors, and therefore sees its deplatforming as a threat to the right to “truthful assembly.”

The timing of the decision made by WordPress – immediately after the US election and after an article exploring what’s referred to as the Covid agenda and Biden’s policies – is also viewed as suspect by CTH.

But CTH’s owners pledge that the site will remain online, along with their stated mission they will preserve the content accumulated over the years.’https://reclaimthenet.org/wordpress-deplatforms-popular-blog-the-conservative-treehouse/

DC March 4 Trump & Lying Media

The other night we sat down to watch the news on channel 7 and prepared to hear some fake news. Sure enough we weren’t disappointed. The news reader told us the march for President Trump in DC was not as large as many said it was so immediately I turned off the fake news station to read some true news. Here it is.

‘Yesterday, literally hundreds of thousands of patriots of all colors, creeds and ages descended on the Nation’s capital to send a message of support to the President and to protest the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election and the media’s coronation of King Joe and Queen Kamala.

I am so glad I was there or I wouldn’t have believed it. Reading news accounts in the mainstream media last night and this morning confirmed again what a lying bunch of partisans control the media.’https://fraudscrookscriminals.com/2020/11/15/rally-for-trump-stunning-beyond-belief/

An Elegant Quilt of Relationships

Psalm 104:16-17 “The trees of the Lord are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.”

‘There are many incredible designs around us that are unlikely to exist if everything is the result of mindless chance. Many birds eat insects through the summer. While such high protein diets like this are good in mating and reproductive season, they do not prepare the birds to survive the cold weather of winter.

What they need to do is build a layer of fat both for calorie storage as well as insulation. So, as winter nears, the berries that have been growing and ripening all summer on various shrubs become more numerous. The high sugar content of the berries’ juice helps the birds to quickly build up fat. The freeze on cold fall mornings even helps to increase the sugar concentration in the berries. Even more amazing is that the various types of berries eaten by the birds ripen in a staggered fashion so that berry season is long and the supplies are always available. For example, as the elderberry supply is just about consumed, highbush cranberries are in production. Often, the summer’s hatchlings’ plumage doesn’t reach full color until they eat the various pigments in the berries, and those pigments are incorporated into the new feathers. In exchange, the birds spread the seeds in the berries.

All of these complex, interrelated systems depend on each other in an elegant, fine-tuned design.’https://creationmoments.com/sermons/an-elegant-quilt-of-relationships-2/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=an-elegant-quilt-of-relationships-2&mc_cid=083d9935d8&mc_eid=00c1dcff3c

Warnings 4 Trump Supporters if SJ Wins

Posted by whatyareckon on November 14, 2020

If Sleepy Joe and the other person wins the WH how bad can it get for conservatives?

‘Approximately half the country has concerns about how vote counting was conducted in a number of the most important swing states. Lack of transparency, computer glitches and (quite possibly) some old-fashioned fraud will keep us in suspense for the next few weeks. As they say, let’s hope every legal vote is counted.

Should Biden/Harris be certified the winner, things are going to change in a hurry — and flyover America’s 72.3 million deplorables will be in for a rough ride. Accordingly, in the realm of what I was taught in law school (always prepare for the worst), here are a few warnings for the Trump army:

For Religious Conservatives

A “dark winter” awaits — and nuns forced to pay for birth control is only the half of it. Religious freedom was on the ballot, and it lost. Now, religious conviction is at serious risk as disproportionately influential secular progressives press their advantage within the progressive movement.

For Free Speech Advocates

Look for campus-style “speech codes” coming to the private sector and increased repression of speech on the grounds of our colleges and universities. The long-term trend in support of our First Amendment freedoms is not a good one. Throw in the propensity of Big Tech to tilt the (speech) playing field and the failure of traditional liberals to join the free speech campaign, and we are confronted with a real cultural crisis.

For American History Buffs

The “1619 Project” just trumped the “1776 Project.” Parents must now take the initiative. Your child’s education is at risk. As more parents become active in turning back the woke tide in school board politics, it is well and good to recall the wisdom of President Ronald Reagan: “We’ve got to teach history based on not what’s in fashion but what’s important. If we forget what we did, we won’t know who we are.” Wow.

For African-American Trump Supporters

Your road just got more difficult. Expect the usual intolerance from the progressive left: “race traitor,” “sellout,” “token,” etc. Your best defense: Donald J. Trump’s record on minority empowerment. It has been outstanding. Reference it and defend it.

For Disenfranchised Young Conservatives

No warm cookies, crying sessions, group hugs, or days off for you. Your campuses are chock-full of snowflakes, those intolerant purveyors of identity politics. Time to organize, engage and prepare for 2022.

Remember, there are plenty of freedom-based nonprofits ready, willing and able to provide advice and protection. Be less bashful about voicing dissent. Liberal schools bank on your silent acquiescence.

For the Parents of Young Conservatives

It is long past time to rethink your annual giving contributions to schools that refuse to guarantee philosophical and ideological diversity within their faculties. Stopping the dollar spigot is about the only way to get their attention. Do it: It’s easier than you think.

For Discouraged Immigrants from Socialist Countries

Time to engage with young people. Most young Americans have no idea what socialism does to the human spirit. You have done an effective job of spreading the message in South Florida and South Texas. It is now time to spread your wings to other venues — especially our college campuses.

For GOP NeverTrumpers

Congratulations — you were an essential part of the Biden coalition. Your Lincoln Project raised a reported $67 million. You accordingly have ownership of what will now unfold; no backtracking for you. Just sayin’.

For Disappointed Blue-Collar Union Workers

It is long past time to make the party switch. Your parents and grandparents will assuredly forgive you. After all, the Democratic Party left you, not the other way around. For those still on the bubble, please take a few minutes to read the Democratic Party platform for 2020. This should clear your mind.

For Dispirited Small Businesspeople

A likely GOP Senate will kill the worst inclinations of the Bernie/Elizabeth crowd. Still, odds are that the people who will now regulate your business have never spent a day in the private sector. But, rest assured, they know what is best for you and your bottom line.

For Confused Entrepreneurs

A few of you may be wondering what happened to the long-running marriage between the GOP and the Chamber of Commerce. The short answer: Trump happened. You see, an America-first, main-street-focused populist movement was never going to be an easy fit with big business.

Multinational enterprises see big profits in China (just ask the NBA) – and the Great Disruptor was never going to let up on a regime that has made an art of stealing our intellectual property for the last forty years — let alone unleashing a killer pandemic on the world.

For Worried Hong Kong Dissidents

The totalitarians in Beijing have regained an old ally in the China-friendly Biden. U.S. policy will now reflect that fact: John Kerry-style diplomacy is back in vogue. I suggest you continue to court traditional Republicans and human-rights Democrats to your cause. And good luck; you’re gonna need it. China is not well known for contrition.

A final note: Recent reports of “outing” Trump campaign lawyers and calls for a blacklist of senior staff is not all bad news. Such tactics smack of deep insecurities and desperation. How else to diagnose those who attempt to silence the loyal opposition?’https://www.westernjournal.com/bob-ehrlich-12-warnings-trump-supporters-biden-survives-courts-recounts/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=AE&utm_campaign=can&utm_content=2020-11-13
