Radical democrats and radical Marxists destroy freedom wherever they are!
When Jen “Circleback Girl” Psaki announced, to the astonishment of half the country, that the White House was going to flag social media posts for deletion based on whether or not those posts fit the official COVID narrative, on its face the statement was objectionable enough.
One can conjure countless scenarios of Sarah Sanders or Kayleigh McEnany doing the same thing, and the country erupting in outrage. They never did, and still their critics on the left called the Trump administration “authoritarian.”
But we know now that virtually everything the Left — and those of its votaries who now control the tech space, corporate news and entertainment media, the arts and academia, and even a large swath of corporate America — does is projection. Call Team Trump authoritarians, and all you’re really doing is signaling your own intentions.
Sometimes it works in reverse. You can see that if you compare the free-wheeling destruction of Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, and other places by mobs of woke idiots stoked up by committed Marxist revolutionaries over a man who probably died of a fentanyl overdose while in police custody to what happened on Jan. 6 at the U.S. Capitol, and note the reaction of the Democrat establishment.
But the fascistic impulse is very strong with these people, and Psaki, who’ll need a better nickname than Circleback Girl, Peppermint Patty or Raggedy Ann to more completely capture her shilling for the regime that employs her, simply said the quiet part out loud.
The regime will brook no dissent from its official line.
Psakigate took on a bizarre tone after her presumed boss Joe Biden attempted to talk his way around it, first accusing Facebook of “killing people” by allowing “false” statements on COVID and then incompetently shuffling back to the position that only a few people on Facebook were spreading “misinformation.”
“Misinformation.” You hear that word an awful lot these days, and the more you hear it the more the smell it carries with it makes you want to choke.
Why? Because “misinformation” is a word that has been established as a standard by the Left’s allies in Big Tech under which censorship can be slammed down on the public.
You see it all the time on Facebook and Twitter. What you don’t see is a whole lot of credibility backing the claims of “misinformation” that accompany the censorship.
But he wasn’t, of course. Carlson told the truth about what was happening to him, and the proof of that shortly came out when his communications were leaked to a news outlet friendly to the Biden administration that printed a story about his attempts to interview Vladimir Putin — as NBC News, a legacy corporate outlet enthusiastically cheering for Biden, was able to do.
They’re not finished with Carlson. Yesterday Jeffrey Lord had an outstanding piece here in The American Spectator discussing a Washington Post attack on Carlson as the voice of “White grievance.” Which is absurd, of course, because Carlson’s position on race has been clear and consistent — he isn’t interested in racism regardless of whom it’s directed against, and also because Carlson’s discussion of the Left’s use of mass immigration to replace and dilute America’s native electorate is not based in race but rather citizenship.
But if you can’t cancel someone by calling their statements “misinformation,” then “racism” is always the old standby. You can always trot out smear merchants like the Southern Poverty Law Center to make the charge if worst comes to worst.
As Carlson is the leading conservative voice in mass media now, it’s certain he would be in the crosshairs. But just to prove the effort to snuff out dissenting voices on the right isn’t a fluke, we now have an honest-to-God state-run media outlet doing the same thing to Ben Shapiro, who is another successful voice on the conservative side……….

So when Tucker Carlson went on the air and said he had information that the Biden NSA was reading his emails and other electronic communications, he was immediately accused of — and it was even phrased this way in certain circles — spreading “misinformation.”But he wasn’t, of course. Carlson told the truth about what was happening to him, and the proof of that shortly came out when his communications were leaked to a news outlet friendly to the Biden administration that printed a story about his attempts to interview Vladimir Putin — as NBC News, a legacy corporate outlet enthusiastically cheering for Biden, was able to do.
