2021-07-16 Government Corruption
Wow, White House Admits, 'We're flagging problematic FB posts'
[The Last Refuge] Hey Antifa, here is the fascism you have been looking for.
Imagine the apoplexy in media if President Trump’s White House was flagging content on Facebook for removal. That’s exactly what White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki admitted today: "We are flagging problematic posts for Facebook"...

Yup, the Biden regime is monitoring social media from the White House and identifying content they do not like. Then, they flag that content and send it to Facebook, who then take action to remove it. WATCH:

On the upside — this is a direct admission the U.S. government is the determining voice on speech. That admission now makes this a FIRST AMENDMENT issue.

Previously the Democrats, leftists, media allies and the Biden administration all said Big Tech censorship, the banning of conservative voices/opinions, was a matter of private businesses making decisions on their own without government influence and therefore no ’First Amendment’ issues are in place. This admission from the White House today is exactly the opposite. Let the lawsuits commence.

#4 This doesn't matter. Haven't you gotten it through your head yet? Critical Theory rejects liberalism, rejects the idea we're all equal. Instead there are two kinds of people: oppressors and the oppressed, and obviously the oppressed are justified in using the most extreme measures to destroy oppressors.

“The defining question is whether the discrimination is creating equity or inequity. If discrimination is creating equity, then it is antiracist. If discrimination is creating inequity, then it is racist. … The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.” From How to Be an Antiracist, by Ibram X. Kendi (pseud. for Henry Rodgers), p. 19.

#6 Wonder who got the contract for that piece of open source surveillance? Perhaps it was 'in-house' embedded gov't sources, or the people just down the hall from the office monitoring Tucker Carlson's email.
