> So I gather that he's espousing a view that states that quarantines and lockdowns are terrible and ineffective, and encouraging people to ignore them and freely associate. > I understand that you believe the expression of that view could lead to many people deciding to ignore whatever orders or ordinances that have been imposed upon them. That is not at all a representative summary of his views, or mine. I see hundreds of people arguing against lockdowns every day, on sites all across the internet, and it's just fine, and nobody is being censored for it. It's so mainstream that even the NYT is publishing opinion pieces about it, e.g. when comparing with Sweden's response. The actual problem with David Icke is that he espouses conspiracy theories, of the form "the lizard men, Bill Gates, the aliens, and the liberals teamed up to create 5G to wipe out the human race". Stuff like this leads to serious consequences, such as the Congressional baseball shooting, the Pizzagate shooting, the Youtube headquarters shooting, and the armed takeover of the Michigan statehouse.

That is a really insane justification. Also strange that what I gather to be a right-wing internet figure would somehow inspire a shooter to go and try to kill a bunch of republicans as they perform baseball? This week there were not just one but an entire carpet bombing mission's worth of bombshells about the case of general Flynn. Every headline about that guy, his guilty plea, was a total lie. There was no journalism done during the entire course of the process, and the FBI from director on down planned his destruction and did it, knowing full well he was innocent. This is provable with court documents that are irrefutable. So we can now throw WaPo and the fancy pulitzer they got for the Flynn fake news out with Icke right? I mean it seems to meet your standard--huge damage to a really loyal American and his family, bankrupt, house sold, son and family threatened to secure the plea the ratfuckers needed. You'd throw all those people and all the conspiracy nuts like CNN and MSNBC and Fox News that pushed that dangerous propaganda, right? Oh, wait, no you're saying those same people, or at least people in that same group, you want them to do all the censoring. Oh. Cool. (Btw, if you think the above bombshells are not true, I can provide you all the documents, which are easy to validate given they're hosted on various official DOJ servers, and I'm willing to bet you that Flynn's case is dismissed. Team Elite are these kinds of people. They'll tear anyone or thing apart to fulfill their stupid goals. Let's cheer them as they mindfuck us into thinking their censorship is a great idea.
