Crumbs… i am speechless! Thanks so much for bringing the broader, global even, implications to me. The deaths ( from Covid measures) and future deaths (from cold etc) are in the millions and Zuck should be against the wall (with a bunch of other ideologues). Jus’ sayin’
Thank you for publishing Jeffrey Tucker's exceptional essay and adding your own excellent points. One of the great "unknown unknowables" of recent years is we have no way of knowing how they world might be much different (and better, with far more people still alive) if powerful media companies like Facebook had not gone "all-in" on Censorship.
Facebook has more than one billion users world-wide. It also employed more than 15,000 "content moderators" to censor speech ... and that doesn't include the AI or algorithms that automatically flagged and dramatically suppressed the reach of Facebook users, who might have been able to "change the narrative" if they could simply write what they wanted to write.
FB is an exceptionally powerful means of manipulating the public. In the early 2000's soon after its inception they brought in a huge number of users with their novel tools of communication, networking and search functions with no questions asked. Then they started to prune the tree, casting out groups with certain ideologies until they secured a solid swath of FB faithfuls devoid of any disruptive belief systems who rely on the platform for their information which FB and their ad sponsors were happy to provide.
For those that have been "keeping score at home" with great writers like yourself, this is no surprise. The real "surprise" is why spill the beans now? Is he afraid that Trump is going to pull off another upset and REALLY DRAIN THE SWAMP under administration 2.0, and maybe it really looks like rats trying to get off a sinking ship. I have no doubt that Zucker and his Boy Band of Bookies towed the Party Line with Sleepy Joe and the rest of the Anti-Truth Brigade....
Good question. Jeffrey Tucker agrees with you more or less. It's intriguing. People like Zuckerberg undoubtedly have a better understanding of what is going on behind the scenes. What better reason to admit fault if it isn't to avoid blow back that is seen as inevitable in the near future?
On 9/11, my supervisor (a PhD organic chemist) and I (PharmD) were at work in the local college chemistry department. We watched the news on his computer, saw the buildings collapse, and we looked at each other. “That is physically impossible,” he said. I agreed. We are not engineers or architects, but we knew enough physics to understand, from Day One, that this did not happen as the news media said it did.
Excellent. This is precisely why the subject is more relevant now more than ever. The deception around 9/11 is far more obvious that the pandemic deceptions. If a hundred million Americans are now understanding that they were deceived by a coordinated propaganda machine funded by the media and big pharma they should be able to look at the 9/11 story with new eyes.
I just had an exchange with my fully jabbed sister, great fan of FB & MSM in Quebec, Canada. Trying to let her know that a well known canadian journalist was admitting MSM "disinformation" on Youtube:
"Former Canadian Broadcast Company (CBC) reporter Marianne Klowak spoke recently at the National Citizens’ Inquiry (a Canadian anti-mandate group)." https://youtu.be/ifmqdOR1-JU?si=cJhm7iFmZ514m6kr
Her reaction was :
"Some topics don't seem relevant to me and you should respect me, without trying to judge my restraint. You're trying to convince me of facts that I don't want to believe. (You) make me feel wrong."
No discussion, no exchange is even possible. We have a good idea where this attitude comes from.
Oh and btw, my sister had 4 by-passes on her heart 4 months ago, never had any heart condition before.
Well at least she is being clear about how she thinks. I think your only in road would open up if she ever claims that she is well informed. That's when you can make your case.
The censorship issue is but one tool in the cabal's hands. Climate change, covid, destroying the US economy, weakening the military by using up munitions, weapons in Ukraine without replacement, damaging the food supply, promoting queerism, lawfare, etc are all tools the cabal is using to achieve their unseen goals. Goals that are not good for us such as replacement of humans by AI and robots, genocide, starvation, etc.
Ask some basic questions: Have those censored by Facebook been reinstated, same with Twitter (now X) and Youtube. Is leadership at these companies actively trying to address these wrongs. Is there any legal investigation into how Kamala Harris raised 540 million in a couple of days for her campaign when many "donors" say they knew nothing of donations made in their name.
Zuckerberg letters is a distraction. They are still censoring any and all thing conservative. This buys them time through the election while they continue to tilt the table towards the Democrats. Zuckerberg is owned by the CIA and he is a creep with zero social skills.
My understanding is that DARPA created Facebook (Lifelog) which leaves the question does Zuckerberg actually have a hand in any of this? Also that Google , Microsoft are all intelligence operations ...FB included..
Yes. MZ is the public facing aspect of the intelligence op that is FB. And if the public finds out that these agencies are hiding things and manipulating things nothing will likely happen. We have known about Mockingbird since the 70's. Snowden gave us the proof of on going surveillance a decade ago. The public brushes it off.
Perhaps now things are little different. We are two months from a general election with 1A violations as one of the central issues separating the candidates. Kennedy has gotten DJT to bring this forward. Kennedy is unpopular amongst baby-boomers. Baby boomers love FB. It's anyone's guess how this is going to play out.
I share your contempt for the people who run these platforms (I have old friends and some family who work there who seem completely unaware of what their organizations are really doing). Those on top surely know. But Zucky claims that he was coerced into doing these things. Now that Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has been detained and Rumble CEO on the run, we can understand that "urging" from the office of POTUS were not just firm requests. The administration needs to be held accountable. FB didn't break any laws, the President did.
Are you aware that Zuckerberg and his wife have a "charitable" organization that aims to eradicate infectious diseases through vaccination? The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
He was censoring and suppressing "anti-vax" info long before covid.

That is a great question, Jeffrey. He's probably hedging his bets in case Trump does win?
I say: "Too little, too late." But ,still, his admission is significant or should be.

We are still in the thick of this problem.

I think there is a distinct possibility they "install" harris...just as they installed biden in 2020. ..As you said it truly is anyone's guess.
