   It doesn't. This is a pure excuse and it's a sad one. The NY Times posted financial information, which is actually illegal for whoever leaked it to divulge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVheQQ2sNM0 The tax leak

   So these individuals are malicious and misleading, but what you believe is pure and good and right and holy? How do you know you're not the one being deceived or are believing a lie? The freedom of speech allows people to talk about th

   Tax returns are an interesting case, because even revealing that information could constitute a federal crime. You also can't reveal someone's protected medical information (HIPPA) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O

   If you're talking about Flynn, he was entrapped by the FBI, his lies weren't material, his lawyer had a conflict of interest, when his new lawyer uncovered all of that in discovery, the prosecutor moved to dismiss (because they ha

   Agreed. The CCP is fucking terrible. We wouldn't be having this conversation in China. Well we might; tech people with VPNs and encrypted comms. But most normal people would no be able to see it. But I do fear the US is headed that dir

    My prediction is that Seattle and Portland will be Detroit within 4 years. The city will be empty, most business will flee. I left Seattle years ago because I was sick of the bullshit that's going on there. I lived on what became the b

    I use to hate police when I was younger. I think the advent of the body camera has been a game changer. I've also seen police do incredible heroically things they did not need to do. I wrote this a few weeks ago: https://bat

    Sure not everything matches up. The Ministry of Truth was government, but in America the same type of group exists and it's private. They don't have to rewrite history. They're rewriting the present.

    Delaying the story in today's fast moving news environment is effectively censoring it. Who is fact checking this? Who fact checks the fact checkers? This is classic Orwellian bullshit and its getting worse by the day. Stop calling the

    I disagree. Despite what you may think about the NY Post, this is a big story about a current presidential candidate's son, in regards to major corruption that involves his father directly. You can say they're lying, that's o

    Facebook, Twitter, Reddit et. al. are now in Orwell's land of "Ministry of Truth" .. they are telling the people what is reliable "news" and what is not. It's getting pretty insane out there.

    Facebook at this point is a publisher. If they want to avoid controversy: go back to ONLY having a chronological timeline and only limit posts using spam prevention tools. They are guiding the narrative. People need to stop using this platf

    I bought a Go years ago and recently I got a screen locking the entire device until I logged into Oculus. I selected the option to not connect my Facebook account, but continue to use my Oculus account. There was a sunset date on this optio

    At a minimum, a "ban" of the Oculus account should also include an immediate refund of any and all purchases. It's absolutely ridiculously to think they can just keep all that money while depriving a customer of software lice

    There is still a lot of unrest in Portland and Seattle, but Federal police (US Marshals, FBI, BORTAC, et. al.) have used regular old police work (cameras, under cover anarchists, wiretaps with warrants) to arrest a ton of these people when

    There are also cases where the FBI will radicalize and entrap people like the Liberty City Seven. A great fictionalized movie about these situations is The Days Shall Come (2019).
