"Our Democracy". LMAO HA HA HA HA

Repeat a lie long enough and some people believe that it's true.

I ended up having a heated argument with someone who said we were a Democracy, and I said have you ever read the Constitution? He said yeah, I said can you point out where it details the form of government as being a Democracy? Because the section that spells it out promises a Republican form of Government. I can't find Democracy anywhere in it.

Yet he still insisted it was a Democracy.. :rolleyes:

^ it's confusing, the "democracy vs republic" distinction, esp with the decades of "democracy" propaganda.

I think "representative democracy" is accurate, or the flipped version of that: "democratically elected republic", right? As in, rep's elected by the population, not appointed by some monarchy or whatever.

So I don't bust peeps' chops if they get the distinction wrong.

Where I'm likely to protest is when someone virtue signals with "personal responsibility" posturing, & scolds others for the demise of the Constitution & the JWO rollout, saying lines like, "we only have ourselves to blame." This view pretends we haven't been immersed in premeditated destructive propaganda all our lives, from formal "education" through the JSM "news", to believe false things & be unaware of true things. Plus fake "elections" where even if we're red-pilled, our "votes" for the rep's of our choice, are overridden by fraud.

So the "no one but ourselves to blame" dinjooz can return their poop to where the sun don't shine!

Since the Supreme Court one man one vote opinion In the 1960s Nevada has become a democracy ruled by the city-state Las Vegas.

prior to that each county had 1 senator in the legislature. The assembly was by population, but each county had at least one assembly person. Now both senate and the assembly are gerrymandered into districts which include multiple counties with the majority of the senators and assembly coming from Las Vegas and Reno.

This is utterly Orwellian! How they can say this with a straight face astounds me. And really, the whole logic behind banning "fake news" or sites like this are based on the assumption that the government or other authorities need to protect the ignorant masses who are too stupid to figure out what's real and fake on their own. And if you follow this premise, logically these very people you're protecting are too dumb to know whether or not what you're feeding them is real. And the whole notion that there can be some unbiased arbiter of what's real and fake is also ridiculous. You either have the free flow of ideas, or you don't. And we know where the left stands on this issue - they do not want the free flow of ideas.

In law only charitable trusts survive the 99 year limit of the rule against perpetuities. Therefore government is such a trust. This particular trust is governed by a limited democracy. The limit is 100 senators and 435 representatives. If you go looking around for a democracy you will find it exists only in these 535 people. If you are charged with interfering with the democracy it is these 535 people you are charged with messing with.

To the extent that any of these 535 people represent me I inform them of my wants and needs and then I wait for whatever I ask for to happen. If it doesn't happen in a reasonable timeframe then my conclusion is that either none of them represent me or they aren't acting for my trust (a distinction without a difference it seems)).

The Land of Trusts is well populated with trusts. A large number of these trusts have nothing to do with me. Not that I don't wish them all well but simply that when we have neither oath nor a contract there is no duty established for me to work with them. Oh and lest there be misunderstanding, the oath does not flow from me to them but rather the reverse.

Mark Dice; looks like he's gonna crack 1.3mm YT subs today... 1,299,372 atm.

AFAIK Dice got himself on the map via AJ, around 10 yrs ago-- don't recall anymore if he was regular guest, or AJ played Dice's funny street interviews clips or what that relationship was. But I do recall they fell out at some point, and Dice had a vid up roasting AJ for selling "Tangy Tangerine KoolAid" which had some kind of poison (by a different industry name) in its ingredients.

Atlantic Council is directly advising Fakebook

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-08-07/four-person-nato-funded-team-advises-facebook-flagging-propaganda

A Four Person NATO-Funded Team Advises Facebook On Flagging "Propaganda"

This is not at all comforting: during a week that's witnessed Alex Jones' social media accounts taken down (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-08-06/youtube-bans-alex-jones-after-itunes-facebook-remove-content) by Facebook, Apple, Spotify and Google, and what appears to be a growing crackdown against alternative media figures including several prominent Libertarians (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-08-07/crackdown-continues-twitter-suspends-libertarian-accounts-including-ron-paul), notably the Ron Paul Institute director, and the Scott Horton Show, who found their Twitter accounts suspended — we learn that the Atlantic Council is directly advising Facebook on identifying and removing "foreign interference" on the popular platform.

While the initiative was initially revealed last May through an official Facebook media release, more details of the controversial think tank's role have been revealed.

Supposedly the whole partnership is aimed at bringing more objectivity and neutrality to the process of rooting out fake accounts that pose the threat of being operated by nefarious foreign states.

And yet as a new Reuters report confirms (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-facebook-cyber/u-s-think-tanks-tiny-lab-helps-facebook-battle-fake-social-media-idUSKBN1KS22N), Facebook is now itself a top donor to the Atlantic Council, alongside Western governments, Gulf autocratic regimes, NATO, various branches of the US military, and a number of major defense contractors and corporations.
https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/facebook_nato.jpg?itok=p2jD7Zy2
What's more is that the team of four total individuals running the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFR Lab) is headed by a former National Security Council advisor for the last four years of the Obama administration, Graham Brookie, who is also its founder.

Apparently the group's work has already been instrumental in Facebook taking action against over two dozen "suspicious pages" flagged potential foreign actors such as Russia. According to Reuters (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-facebook-cyber/u-s-think-tanks-tiny-lab-helps-facebook-battle-fake-social-media-idUSKBN1KS22N):
Facebook is using the group to enhance its investigations of foreign interference. Last week, the company said it took down 32 suspicious pages and accounts that purported to be run by leftists and minority activists.

While some U.S. officials said they were likely the work of Russian agents, Facebook said it did not know for sure.



This is indeed the shocking key phrase included in the report:"Facebook said it did not know for sure." And yet the accounts were removed anyway.

The Facebook-Atlantic Council alliance reportedly springs from the social media giant's finding itself desperate for outside "neutral" help after a swell of public criticism, mostly issuing from congressional leaders and prominent media pundits, for supposedly allowing Russian propaganda accounts to operate ahead of the 2016 elections.


And in perhaps the most chilling line of the entire report, Reuters says, "But the lab and Atlantic Council bring geopolitical expertise and allow Facebook to distance itself from sensitive pronouncements." This is ostensibly to defuse any potential conflict of interest arising as Facebook seems a bigger presence in emerging foreign markets.

Facebook’s chief security officer Alex Stamos recently told reporters (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-facebook-cyber/u-s-think-tanks-tiny-lab-helps-facebook-battle-fake-social-media-idUSKBN1KS22N), “Companies like ours don’t have the necessary information to evaluate the relationship between political motivations that we infer about an adversary and the political goals of a nation-state.” He explained further that Facebook would collect suspicious digital evidence and submit it to "researchers and authorities".
Since at least May when the relationship was first announced (https://fair.org/home/media-ignore-government-influence-on-facebooks-plan-to-fight-government-influence/), the DFR Lab has been key to this process of verifying what constitutes foreign interference or nefarious state propaganda.

But here's the kicker. Reuters writes of the DFR Lab's funding in the following (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-facebook-cyber/u-s-think-tanks-tiny-lab-helps-facebook-battle-fake-social-media-idUSKBN1KS22N):
Facebook donated an undisclosed amount to the lab in May that was enough, said Graham Brookie, who runs the lab, to vault the company to the top of the Atlantic Council’s donor list, alongside the British government.

Facebook employees said privately over the past several months that Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg wants to outsource many of the most sensitive political decisions, leaving fact-checking to media groups and geopolitics to think tanks.

Facebook has defended the process as part of ensuring that it remains politically neutral, yet clearly the Atlantic Council itself is hardly neutral, as a quick perusal of its top donors indicates (http://www.atlanticcouncil.org/support/supporters).

The suspiciously simultaneous censorship of Infowars by Google, Apple, Facebook came just one week after U.S. Senate intelligence committee hawk Mark Warner (D) circulated this policy paper threatening new regulation against those same media companies: https://graphics.axios.com/pdf/PlatformPolicyPaper.pdf … (https://t.co/8kLI1GAedM)

Among the DFR Labs partners include UK-based Bellingcat, which has in the past claimed "proof" that Assad gassed civilians based on analyzing YouTube videos and Google Earth. And top donors include various branches of the US military, Gulf sates like the UAE, and notably, NATO.

The Atlantic Council has frequently called for things like increased military engagement (http://www.atlanticcouncil.org/component/tags/tag/rebuilding-syria)in Syria, militarily confronting the "Russian threat" in Eastern Europe (http://www.atlanticcouncil.org/publications/reports/meeting-the-russian-conventional-challenge), and now is advocating for Ukraine and Georgia to be allowed entry into NATO (http://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atlanticist/enlarge-nato-to-ensure-peace-in-europe) while calling for general territorial expansion of the Western military alliance.

Further it has advocated on behalf (https://web.archive.org/web/20170517074736/https://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2017/05/erdogan-washington-visit-think-tanks.html) of one of its previous funders, Turkish dictator Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and gave a “Distinguished International Leadership” award to George W. Bush, to name but a few actions of the think tank that has been given authorization to flag citizens' Facebook pages for possible foreign influence and propaganda.

Quite disturbingly, this is Mark Zuckerberg's outside "geopolitical expertise"he's been seeking.
