newswars--2020-06-17--Rumors Of Wars: China, India, North Korea, South Korea, Israel And Turkey All Move Toward War

As if we didn ’ t have enough already going on in 2020 , now we are facing the possibility that several regional wars may erupt .
China and India had both been pouring troops into a disputed border region , and now there has been an incident where they were actually killing each other .
On the Korean peninsula , North Korea just blew up “ a joint liaison office ” that it had used for talks with the South Korean government .
And in the Middle East , Turkey is warning of grave consequences if Israel goes ahead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Judea and Samaria .
By design , civilization is unraveling – meanwhile , top globalists launch their next move !
Tune in !
Watch and share this bombshell Tuesday edition of the most banned broadcast in the world !
You do not want to miss this one !
If a major regional war erupts at even one of these flashpoints , it will be another devastating blow for a global economy that is already imploding , and there is a very strong probability that the U.S. and other major western powers could be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , most Americans are focused on our internal problems , and so they are paying very little attention to the growing crisis on the border between China and India .
Both nations had sent substantial contingents of troops to an area of the border that has long been disputed , and a meeting that was supposed to defuse tensions actually resulted in soldiers killing one another… Chinese state media described the incident Monday night in the Galwan River valley where both countries have deployed troops in recent weeks as “ the most serious @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far , ” confirming casualties but offering no further details about them .
Indian government sources speaking on the condition of anonymity told that 20 Indian army personnel had died in the fighting .
American intelligence believes 35 Chinese troops died , including one senior officer , a source familiar with that assessment tells U.S. News .
The incident took place during a meeting in the mountainous region between the two sides – both of which had agreed to disarm – to determine how the two militaries would safely withdraw their presences from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first time in decades that Chinese and Indian troops have killed each other , and apparently very little shooting was involved… That sounds like a scene from an overly gory Hollywood war movie , but reportedly this actually happened .
Hopefully the leaders of the two nations will be able to cool tensions for a while , but the Chinese have a very long history of very bitter border disputes with their neighbors , and without a doubt China will continue to make attempts to exercise sovereignty over this area .
Meanwhile , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a level that we haven ’ t seen in many , many years .
On Tuesday , North Korea actually blew up a building that had been used for negotiations with South Korea… That is certainly one way to make a statement .
And this comes just days after Kim Jong Un ’ s sister , Kim Yo Jong , had issued a very ominous warning… All of a sudden , North Korea ’ s approach to relations with South Korea has dramatically shifted , and that shift has coincided with Kim @ @ @ @ @ @ @ role in national affairs .
I believe that there is much more going on in North Korea than we are being told , and Kim Yo Jong appears to favor a much more militant approach than what we have become accustomed to in recent years .
Over in the Middle East , the Times of Israel is reporting that the IDF is gearing up for a “ state of war ” as Israel prepares to annex portions of Judea and Samaria… This week , Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once again made it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alter his plans , and that means that the process of annexation could start as soon as the beginning of July .
A few weeks ago , I wrote an entire article about how this could potentially spark a major war in the region , and Arab leaders continue to make it clear that there will be “ consequences ” if Israel goes through with this… We shall see what happens .
I think that Netanyahu is convinced that Donald Trump is probably going to lose in November , and so that means @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has a window of a few months in which he could annex portions of Judea and Samaria with U.S. support .
It appears that Netanyahu is absolutely determined to move forward , and it also appears that Israel ’ s Arab neighbors are prepared to respond very forcefully .
In just a few weeks , missiles could start flying back and forth , and the entire Middle East could erupt in flames .
This is such a critical time , and let us pray for peace .
But without a doubt we are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and rumors of wars ” , and it certainly isn ’ t going to take much to unleash a major conflict .

If a major regional war erupts at even one of these flashpoints, it will be another devastating blow for a global economy that is already imploding, and there is a very strong probability that the U.S. and other major western powers could be drawn into the conflict.
Right now, most Americans are focused on our internal problems, and so they are paying very little attention to the growing crisis on the border between China and India.
Both nations had sent substantial contingents of troops to an area of the border that has long been disputed, and a meeting that was supposed to defuse tensions actually resulted in soldiers killing one another…
Chinese state media described the incident Monday night in the Galwan River valley where both countries have deployed troops in recent weeks as “the most serious clash between Chinese and Indian soldiers so far,” confirming casualties but offering no further details about them. Indian government sources speaking on the condition of anonymity told The Times of India that 20 Indian army personnel had died in the fighting. American intelligence believes 35 Chinese troops died, including one senior officer, a source familiar with that assessment tells U.S. News. The incident took place during a meeting in the mountainous region between the two sides – both of which had agreed to disarm – to determine how the two militaries would safely withdraw their presences from the region.
This is the very first time in decades that Chinese and Indian troops have killed each other, and apparently very little shooting was involved…
The meeting grew tense and resulted in a physical confrontation between the troops. According to the assessment, all of the casualties were from the use of batons and knives and from falls from the steep topography, the source says.
That sounds like a scene from an overly gory Hollywood war movie, but reportedly this actually happened.
Hopefully the leaders of the two nations will be able to cool tensions for a while, but the Chinese have a very long history of very bitter border disputes with their neighbors, and without a doubt China will continue to make attempts to exercise sovereignty over this area.
Meanwhile, tensions on the Korean peninsula have risen to a level that we haven’t seen in many, many years. On Tuesday, North Korea actually blew up a building that had been used for negotiations with South Korea…
North Korea has blown up a joint liaison office used for talks between itself and South Korea, the latest sign that ties between the two longtime adversaries are rapidly deteriorating. North Korean state media reported that the four-story building, which is located in the town of Kaesong just north of the demilitarized zone that divides the two Koreas, was “completely destroyed by a “terrific explosion” at 2:50 p.m. local time.
That is certainly one way to make a statement.
And this comes just days after Kim Jong Un’s sister, Kim Yo Jong, had issued a very ominous warning…
In a cryptic statement late Saturday, Kim Yo Jong vowed her country would “soon take a next action” against South Korea — a move she suggested would be carried out by the country’s military. “By exercising my power authorized by the Supreme Leader, our Party and the state, I gave an instruction to the arms of the department in charge of the affairs with enemy to decisively carry out the next action,” Kim said in the state-run Korean Central News Agency.
All of a sudden, North Korea’s approach to relations with South Korea has dramatically shifted, and that shift has coincided with Kim Yo Jong taking a much more prominent role in national affairs.
I believe that there is much more going on in North Korea than we are being told, and Kim Yo Jong appears to favor a much more militant approach than what we have become accustomed to in recent years.
Over in the Middle East, the Times of Israel is reporting that the IDF is gearing up for a “state of war” as Israel prepares to annex portions of Judea and Samaria…
Just over two weeks before a possible Israeli annexation of some as-yet unspecified portion of the West Bank, the Israel Defense Forces is preparing for a wide range of scenarios for potential regional fallout — up to and including a large-scale wave of terror attacks — while still not being told exactly what the government has in mind. The military is gearing up for possible massive unrest, Channel 12 reported Sunday evening, including what it is calling a potential “state of war” characterized by a Second Intifada-style onslaught of suicide bombing attacks.
This week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once again made it clear that he does not intend to alter his plans, and that means that the process of annexation could start as soon as the beginning of July.
A few weeks ago, I wrote an entire article about how this could potentially spark a major war in the region, and Arab leaders continue to make it clear that there will be “consequences” if Israel goes through with this…
Israel’s plan to extend its sovereignty to the Jordan Valley, and parts of Judea and Samaria, will “destroy all hopes” for lasting peace in the Middle East, Turkey’s top diplomat said on Wednesday. “If the occupying power [Israel] crosses the red line, we [Muslim countries] must show that this will have consequences,” Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said during a special meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation Executive Committee, according to Turkey’s Anadolu Agency.
We shall see what happens.
I think that Netanyahu is convinced that Donald Trump is probably going to lose in November, and so that means that he probably believes that he only has a window of a few months in which he could annex portions of Judea and Samaria with U.S. support.
It appears that Netanyahu is absolutely determined to move forward, and it also appears that Israel’s Arab neighbors are prepared to respond very forcefully.
In just a few weeks, missiles could start flying back and forth, and the entire Middle East could erupt in flames.
This is such a critical time, and let us pray for peace.
But without a doubt we are living during a time of “wars and rumors of wars”, and it certainly isn’t going to take much to unleash a major conflict.

Officers had been summoned to an area Wendy’s after an employee called 9-1-1 reporting Brooks had fallen asleep inside his car in the drive-thru line.
The fateful incident, which began as a casual interaction, was captured by several witnesses, police body cams and Wendy’s surveillance.
Watch a compilation of the footage:

Officer Rolfe fired three shots at Brooks as he fled, hitting him twice.
During a press conference Wednesday, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard announced he would additionally charge Rolfe “with kicking Brooks as he lay dying — an allegation made after reviewing surveillance footage and citizens’ cell phone videos,” the Daily Mail reports.

newswars--2020-06-17--Are We on the Cusp of a New Progressive Era?

Thanks to an exaggerated coronavirus pandemic , government lockdowns sunk the economy into the most serious recession since the Great Depression .
From February to April 2020 , industrial production collapsed by 15.2 percent and official unemployment figures skyrocketed from 3.5 percent to 14.7 percent .
To put these numbers in perspective , during the Great Recession industrial production fell by a similar amount ( 17.3 percent ) from December 2007 to June 2009 and unemployment “ only ” peaked at 10 percent in October 2009 .
In other words , the current recession is breaking all of the wrong @ @ @ @ @ @ @ economy from completely imploding , the US government engaged in massive expansionary monetary and fiscal policy .
From February to April the Federal Reserve exploded its assets by $ 2.5 trillion and pumped up the money supply ( M2 ) by 14.6 percent .
On the fiscal side , in late March Congress passed a belt-busting $ 2 trillion stimulus bill , and in mid-May the House passed another stimulus bill of $ 3 trillion .
Then in early June Fed chairman Jerome Powell declared that low interest rates were here to stay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trends continue , the 2020s will usher in a new period of drastically increased government activity and regulation of the economy .
Despite justification on the grounds of public interest and cutting-edge modern “ science , ” these interventions promise to be thoroughly crony : they will enrich favored businesses , politicians , bureaucrats , intellectuals , and labor groups at the expense of the overall public .
In short , the 2020 recession will usher in a new “ Progressive Era ” of the early 1900s , or , more accurately , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ brilliantly showed that during the Progressive Era , which mainstream academics and other proponents of intervention laud as the nation ’ s first step into modernity , big business , big government , big intellectuals , and big labor succeeded in securing cronyism that made it easier for corporations and trade associations to cartelize , for politicians to increase their power , for technocrats to exert influence over planning the economy , and for unions to exclude cheaper immigrant workers .
These groups had failed to achieve their goals until the Panic of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Populist Democrats to supplant Grover Cleveland ’ s laissez-faire Democrats , which ushered in political dominance by the moderate corporatist Republican Party .
It unfortunately seems far too likely that the federal government will now pass similar legislation in the 2020s , such as corporate and safety regulation , environmental laws , welfare and other entitlements , and more taxation .
In the name of weakening the trusts , eliminating “ unsafe ” products , and cleaning up “ subpar ” working conditions , the Progressives passed a flurry of business regulations that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ raised prices .
Notable examples include the rejuvenation of the 1890 Sherman Antitrust Act , the creation of the Department of Commerce and Labor in 1903 ( split into two departments in 1913 ) , the Meat Inspection and Pure Food and Drug Acts of 1906 , and establishment of the Federal Trade Commission in 1914 .
These new crony laws and agencies blocked hostile socialist legislation and also stymied free market pressures by raising compliance costs on newer , usually smaller , businesses and crippling price and product competition .
The 2020s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Even before the crisis , big tech welcomed new federal red tape over the internet in order to consolidate their market positions and stave off hostile antitrust suits from radical socialists and competing businesses .
The current recession has already ushered in calls for formal coronavirus safety regulations in the workplace—a new “ modern ” age of federal , state , and local intrusiveness in the employer-employee relationship and how businesses cater to consumer desires .

The year 2020 has already provided all three excuses , which means we may be headed for another Regressive Era—a disaster for the economic recovery and Americans ’ freedoms .

The 2020s started off horrendously.
Thanks to an exaggerated coronavirus pandemic, government lockdowns sunk the economy into the most serious recession since the Great Depression. From February to April 2020, industrial production collapsed by 15.2 percent and official unemployment figures skyrocketed from 3.5 percent to 14.7 percent. To put these numbers in perspective, during the Great Recession industrial production fell by a similar amount (17.3 percent) from December 2007 to June 2009 and unemployment “only” peaked at 10 percent in October 2009. In other words, the current recession is breaking all of the wrong records.
In order to prevent the economy from completely imploding, the US government engaged in massive expansionary monetary and fiscal policy. From February to April the Federal Reserve exploded its assets by $2.5 trillion and pumped up the money supply (M2) by 14.6 percent. On the fiscal side, in late March Congress passed a belt-busting $2 trillion stimulus bill, and in mid-May the House passed another stimulus bill of $3 trillion. Then in early June Fed chairman Jerome Powell declared that low interest rates were here to stay indefinitely.
If current political and economic trends continue, the 2020s will usher in a new period of drastically increased government activity and regulation of the economy. Despite justification on the grounds of public interest and cutting-edge modern “science,” these interventions promise to be thoroughly crony: they will enrich favored businesses, politicians, bureaucrats, intellectuals, and labor groups at the expense of the overall public. In short, the 2020 recession will usher in a new “Progressive Era” of the early 1900s, or, more accurately, another “Regressive Era.”
Murray Rothbard brilliantly showed that during the Progressive Era, which mainstream academics and other proponents of intervention laud as the nation’s first step into modernity, big business, big government, big intellectuals, and big labor succeeded in securing cronyism that made it easier for corporations and trade associations to cartelize, for politicians to increase their power, for technocrats to exert influence over planning the economy, and for unions to exclude cheaper immigrant workers. These groups had failed to achieve their goals until the Panic of 1893 allowed William Jennings Bryan’s Populist Democrats to supplant Grover Cleveland’s laissez-faire Democrats, which ushered in political dominance by the moderate corporatist Republican Party. It unfortunately seems far too likely that the federal government will now pass similar legislation in the 2020s, such as corporate and safety regulation, environmental laws, welfare and other entitlements, and more taxation.
In the name of weakening the trusts, eliminating “unsafe” products, and cleaning up “subpar” working conditions, the Progressives passed a flurry of business regulations that restricted entry, reduced production, and raised prices. Notable examples include the rejuvenation of the 1890 Sherman Antitrust Act, the creation of the Department of Commerce and Labor in 1903 (split into two departments in 1913), the Meat Inspection and Pure Food and Drug Acts of 1906, and establishment of the Federal Trade Commission in 1914. These new crony laws and agencies blocked hostile socialist legislation and also stymied free market pressures by raising compliance costs on newer, usually smaller, businesses and crippling price and product competition.
The 2020s will most likely see similar business regulations. Even before the crisis, big tech welcomed new federal red tape over the internet in order to consolidate their market positions and stave off hostile antitrust suits from radical socialists and competing businesses. The current recession has already ushered in calls for formal coronavirus safety regulations in the workplace—a new “modern” age of federal, state, and local intrusiveness in the employer-employee relationship and how businesses cater to consumer desires. All of these laws, far from encouraging competition or protecting consumers, will just cartelize industries and raise relative compliance costs on smaller businesses that cannot afford to retool their facilities to meet new technology and safety restrictions.
The Progressive Era also witnessed the enactment of conservationist laws and agencies. These interventions, such as the Reclamation Act of 1902 and the Public Lands and Inland Waterways Commissions (established in 1903 and 1907, respectively), funneled taxpayer funds into the research and development of certain methods of resource production, particularly irrigation, while restricting the use of various raw materials, such as timber. Although environmentalists advocated for these laws in order to preserve nature and encourage “ecofriendly” production processes, the legislation raised the prices of restricted lumber (benefitting the land speculators and railroads that owned competing reserves) and encouraged the uneconomic development of irrigation in the West.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has led the modern environmentalist movement for a Green New Deal that would totally overhaul American society and enormously reduce well-being. This economic program—estimated by some to potentially cost a truly earth-shattering $93 trillion over the next decade—would “save the planet” by drastically restricting the usage of fossil fuels (which most of the world relies upon to maintain modern living standards) and encourage the production of ecofriendly energy sources that will supposedly make up the shortfall. After the recent crisis, supporters have argued that the population is already numb to drastic changes in living standards and will correspondingly be more receptive to the Green New Deal. If such a program is enacted, the government will pick winners and losers in the energy market like never before and open up a Pandora’s box of widespread cronyism and special interest subsidies.
In the early 1900s, the wise stewards of the government did not stop at corporate and conservationist cronyism—they also looked out for the labor interests.

A new age of welfare and artificially high labor costs has dawned upon the nation.
To pay for the cronyism of the Progressive Era—legislation diligently administered by job-seeking bureaucrats, scientists, and technocrats—the Progressives “reformed” government revenue with the Sixteenth Amendment of 1913, which legalized the income tax. The federal government could now extract from taxpayers funds far greater than what was possible with tariffs and excise taxes. Initially, the income tax applied only to the contemporary “1 percent,” but World War I extended the government’s depredations to the rest of the public. This ensured that the cost of government was shifted to up-and-coming entrepreneurs and the middle class.
A similar situation could appear during the present recession or later in the decade. The cost of the current stimulus programs and projected future legislation simply cannot be financed under the current revenue system. One “solution” is to monetize the deficits, a disastrous option that would lead to runaway inflation. Another option is to embark upon wealth taxes—the siren song for advocates of redistribution—on the wealthiest members of society. Although advocates argue that they will only apply to the most “privileged” strata, the government net will inevitably extend to the rest of the population. This is because big businesses will use their political influence to spread the burden upon the less wealthy (Social Security, after all, is still a regressive tax) and governments will use the newfound source of revenue to spend beyond their initial estimates and will subsequently clamor for more money. The result of widespread wealth taxes will be a harsh disincentive to work, save, and innovate, all to the detriment of society.
The results of the Progressive Era were not pretty, and this leads to ominous predictions for the 2020s.

newswars--2020-06-17--Study Analyzes How Deployment Impacts Mental Health of Veterans Differently

The saying , “ what doesn ’ t kill you makes you stronger , ” doesn ’ t necessarily hold up when it comes to military mental health .
Michigan State University is the first to examine veterans ’ personalities before and after deployment to measure psychological changes resulting from combat .
The study , published in Journal of Personality , was born through a partnership between MSU and the United States Army because military leaders wanted a better understanding as to why some soldiers struggled with reintegration to civilian life while others did not .
“ Veterans ’ substance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are higher than other populations ; the Army knew it was time to more closely track psychological traits before and after they deployed , ” said William Chopik , associate professor of psychology at MSU and lead author .
“ Our research suggests that many mental health struggles existed before they were sent overseas.
” As the largest study of its kind , more than 212,000 men and women Army active duty personnel completed a questionnaire that measured different psychological characteristics before deployment and after returning from combat .
“ The questionnaire measured @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from appreciation , courage and temperance to bravery , humor and love , ” Chopik said .
“ Having high character traits is something we associate with people who don ’ t suffer from mental health conditions.
” The researchers found that 60 % of the soldiers scored highly in character strengths prior to deployment and changed little once they returned home .
The other 40 % started with lower character strengths and declined post-deployment – and they struggled significantly to recover .
“ Our findings suggest that people who are stable with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which was the majority of soldiers – don ’ t have high rates of substance abuse , depression or other struggles once they return from combat , ” Chopik said .
“ If someone from this group struggled once coming home , they were able to bounce back.
” On the other hand , the 40 % who went into the Army with lower character strengths experienced further declines , with only small improvements over time .
“ If you ’ re humble , forgiving and honest before deployment , you ’ ll @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chopik said .
“ But if you ’ re struggling before , you ’ ll struggle later .
Combat intensifies and exacerbates the low character strengths in nearly 85,000 soldiers – which is a substantial number of people who are at-risk for major mental health issues.
” The Army is using the research findings to boost its efforts in developing resources that will help the 40 % of its struggling veterans assimilate to civilian life , Chopik explained .
He also said that the Army is taking a closer look at mental health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ active duty .
“ This is a scenario in which the effects of trauma are clearly pronounced , ” Chopik said .
“ Times have changed in our society , and we ’ re paying much closer attention to military mental health than we did in the 20th century.
” Chopik hopes that the public will be more sensitive to the fact that traumatic experiences – like serving in the military – are exposing people to experiences that can have long-lasting changes and effects on their personalities .

The saying, “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” doesn’t necessarily hold up when it comes to military mental health. Michigan State University is the first to examine veterans’ personalities before and after deployment to measure psychological changes resulting from combat.
The study, published in Journal of Personality, was born through a partnership between MSU and the United States Army because military leaders wanted a better understanding as to why some soldiers struggled with reintegration to civilian life while others did not.
“Veterans’ substance abuse, domestic violence and suicide rates are higher than other populations; the Army knew it was time to more closely track psychological traits before and after they deployed,” said William Chopik, associate professor of psychology at MSU and lead author. “Our research suggests that many mental health struggles existed before they were sent overseas.”
As the largest study of its kind, more than 212,000 men and women Army active duty personnel completed a questionnaire that measured different psychological characteristics before deployment and after returning from combat.
“The questionnaire measured 24 ‘character strengths,’ ranging from appreciation, courage and temperance to bravery, humor and love,” Chopik said. “Having high character traits is something we associate with people who don’t suffer from mental health conditions.”
The researchers found that 60% of the soldiers scored highly in character strengths prior to deployment and changed little once they returned home. The other 40% started with lower character strengths and declined post-deployment – and they struggled significantly to recover.
“Our findings suggest that people who are stable with positive character strengths prior to deployment – which was the majority of soldiers – don’t have high rates of substance abuse, depression or other struggles once they return from combat,” Chopik said. “If someone from this group struggled once coming home, they were able to bounce back.”
On the other hand, the 40% who went into the Army with lower character strengths experienced further declines, with only small improvements over time.
“If you’re humble, forgiving and honest before deployment, you’ll likely come home that way,” Chopik said. “But if you’re struggling before, you’ll struggle later. Combat intensifies and exacerbates the low character strengths in nearly 85,000 soldiers – which is a substantial number of people who are at-risk for major mental health issues.”
The Army is using the research findings to boost its efforts in developing resources that will help the 40% of its struggling veterans assimilate to civilian life, Chopik explained. He also said that the Army is taking a closer look at mental health before and after allowing soldiers to begin active duty.
“This is a scenario in which the effects of trauma are clearly pronounced,” Chopik said. “Times have changed in our society, and we’re paying much closer attention to military mental health than we did in the 20th century.”
Chopik hopes that the public will be more sensitive to the fact that traumatic experiences – like serving in the military – are exposing people to experiences that can have long-lasting changes and effects on their personalities.
Alex Jones breaks down the globalist agenda to destroy America hiding out in a supposed movement for racial equality, playing on people’s guilt to submit to an unelected power.


newswars--2020-06-17--DOJ Announces Proposals To Strip Section 230 Immunity From Big Tech

The Department of Justice announced a set of proposals to remove legal protections enjoyed by Big Tech that allows them to behave as both a platform and a publisher .
The department said in a statement Wednesday that its proposals would update Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 to include accountability for antitrust violations made by tech companies against users .
“ When it comes to issues of public safety , the government is the one who must act on behalf of society at large .
Law enforcement can not delegate our obligations to protect the safety @ @ @ @ @ @ @ judgment of profit-seeking private firms .
We must shape the incentives for companies to create a safer environment , which is what Section 230 was originally intended to do , ” said Attorney General William Barr in a statement .
“ Taken together , these reforms will ensure that Section 230 immunity incentivizes online platforms to be responsible actors .
These reforms are targeted at platforms to make certain they are appropriately addressing illegal and exploitive content while continuing to preserve a vibrant , open , and competitive internet.
” “ These twin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to grow and innovate while encouraging them to moderate content responsibly were the core objectives of Section 230 at the outset .
The Department ’ s proposal aims to realize these objectives more fully and clearly in order for Section 230 to better serve the interests of the American people , ” he concluded .
Four key areas are identified in the DOJ ’ s review of Big Tech reform : 1 .
Incentivizing Online Platforms to Address Illicit Content The first category of potential reforms is aimed at incentivizing platforms to address @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , while preserving the core of Section 230 ’ s immunity for defamation .
2 .
Clarifying Federal Government Enforcement Capabilities A second category reform would increase the ability of the government to protect citizens from harmful and illicit conduct .
These reforms would make clear that the immunity provided by Section 230 does not apply to civil enforcement actions brought by the federal government .
Civil enforcement by the federal government is an important complement to criminal prosecution .
3 .
Promoting Competition A third reform proposal is to clarify that federal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 230 immunity .
Over time , the avenues for engaging in both online commerce and speech have concentrated in the hands of a few key players .
It makes little sense to enable large online platforms ( particularly dominant ones ) to invoke Section 230 immunity in antitrust cases , where liability is based on harm to competition , not on third-party speech .
4 .
Promoting Open Discourse and Greater Transparency A fourth category of potential reforms is intended to clarify the text and original purpose of the statute in order to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ encourage greater transparency between platforms and users .
Barr had said in an interview last week that companies like Facebook , Twitter , and Google were “ clearly engaging in censorship ” and that measures would be taken to address it .
“ I think there are — clearly these , these entities are now engaged in censorship , ” Barr told Fox News .
“ And they originally held themselves out as open forums where people , where the third parties could come and express their views and they built up a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had a lot of market power based on that presentation , ” the attorney general added .
“ And now they are acting much more like publishers because they ’ re censoring particular viewpoints and putting their own content in there to to diminish the impact of various people ’ s views.
” DOJ ’ s announcement comes on the heels of Google collaborating with NBC News to demonetize The Federalist over its comments section on Tuesday .
This also comes two weeks after President Trump signed an executive order declaring his administration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recommendations that protect the American people from online censorship and blacklisting by Big Tech .
Republican lawmakers like Senators Josh Hawley ( Mo . )
and Ted Cruz ( Texas ) are also taking steps to address the monopoly powers wield by the Silicon Valley tech overlords at Google and others .
Those like Judge Napolitano & Sen Mike Lee , who say Twitter has untouchable autonomy as a private corporation , are ignoring that Sec 230 legal immunity for social media sites is like FDIC deposit insurance for banks & customers — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Steagall Act that accompanied FDIC insurance .

“I think there are — clearly these, these entities are now engaged in censorship,” Barr told Fox News. “And they originally held themselves out as open forums where people, where the third parties could come and express their views and they built up a tremendous network of eyeballs.”
“They had a lot of market power based on that presentation,” the attorney general added. “And now they are acting much more like publishers because they’re censoring particular viewpoints and putting their own content in there to to diminish the impact of various people’s views.”
DOJ’s announcement comes on the heels of Google collaborating with NBC News to demonetize The Federalist over its comments section on Tuesday.

newswars--2020-06-17--Flynn Judge’s Next Move May Shock Many, But Not Me

Emmet Sullivan—aka the eccentric federal judge who ’ s been fanatically performing nonconsensual mouth-to-mouth on the Flynn prosecution—can retire from the bench when the case ends , then walk right into an absurdly-high-paying do-little partnership at a DOJ/Deep State-aligned law firm or DNC-support organization .
Two such possibilities immediately spring to mind : FusionGPS and Covington & Burling LLP , which originally represented Flynn .
Eric Holder also landed a revolving-door partnership thereafter he declined to prosecute the firm ’ s banking clients in the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis .
Many lawyers and judges likely anticipate these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are likely to talk about them , let alone publish an article like this one .
Their profession is highly image-conscious and the truth is unflattering .
Thankfully though , despite the media ’ s undying loyalty to the shyster brigade , more people are coming to see them for what they are .
Fired former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe now works for CNN , for example .
I first thought Sullivan ’ s absurd behavior was the result of blackmail or extortion .
The DOJ regularly uses such leverage to achieve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way back to J. Edgar Hoover and the infamous files he kept on prominent Americans .
Before Flynn ’ s case , Sullivan was renowned as the Brady judge .
That ’ s a reference to the Supreme Court decision that requires prosecutors to reveal evidence that ’ s damaging to their cases .
So Sullivan ’ s recent retention of a retired judge basically to keep prosecuting Flynn in the face of the Mueller team ’ s scandalous Brady violations felt like an episode of The Twilight Zone .
I was worried @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he ruffled a lot of feathers when he effectively forced the DOJ ’ s “ public integrity section ” to drop its fraudulent prosecution of Republican U.S .
Senator Ted Stevens .
The DOJ doesn ’ t easily forgive that kind of embarrassment .
Department personnel dig up dirt and blackmail lawyers for much less .
Now , however , I have a different hypothesis : Sullivan simply sold out .
Occam ’ s razor says the simplest answer is usually the correct one .
And no other theory so simply explains Sullivan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ higher judges will reverse his decisions against Flynn , but that ’ s irrelevant : This is all theatre for the benefit of his patrons .
Election day is rapidly approaching , and the mainstream press is furiously churning out anti-Flynn and anti-Trump headlines at every station stop of Sullivan ’ s crazy train .
Remember , Bill Clinton appointed Sullivan to the bench .
In the latest act of thespianism , June 12 , a panel of 3 federal appeals judges heard arguments to remove Sullivan from the Flynn case .
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , though it ought to be a 3-0 decision against Sullivan regardless of which judges hear it .
If so , this will provide the latest evidence that the federal judiciary has become a thoroughly partisan and theatrical institution .
If the appeals court leaves Sullivan in charge of the case , Flynn ’ s lawyer , Sidney Powell , will likely file a petition to the Supreme Court , which will then be heard and also decided along partisan lines .
Thus , Flynn can rest easy , reassured by the high @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Again though , it ought to be a unanimous decision regardless of which judges or justices hear it : Objectively speaking , the law is clear .
Some in the legal world will complain about the damage Sullivan is doing to the public ’ s confidence in the criminal justice system .
That confidence , however , is the result of widespread misperceptions .
Indeed , if an engineer designed a system that ruined so many innocent lives , he would quickly find himself unhireable .
If a doctor had such bad patient @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
So , Sullivan ’ s antics are a kind of public-service announcement , to the extent they damage the misperceptions that enable the worst aspects of the criminal justice system .
It ’ s just too bad Sullivan ’ s PSA will be drowned out by all the shyster media pundits who blindly or disingenuously insist the system works .
That ’ s how misperceptions nearly become a reality .
Remember , though , nearly every one of these pundits is a lawyer or a judge—a member of a gild reliant on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if that goodwill is maintained through dishonest means .
The truth is , they ’ ve built and maintained a system that sucks , at a staggering cost to Americans outside their gild , like General Flynn , Roger Stone , President Trump , and you and me .

A decade ago, he ruffled a lot of feathers when he effectively forced the DOJ’s “public integrity section” to drop its fraudulent prosecution of Republican U.S. Senator Ted Stevens. The DOJ doesn’t easily forgive that kind of embarrassment. Department personnel dig up dirt and blackmail lawyers for much less.
Now, however, I have a different hypothesis: Sullivan simply sold out. Occam’s razor says the simplest answer is usually the correct one.

If so, this will provide the latest evidence that the federal judiciary has become a thoroughly partisan and theatrical institution.
If the appeals court leaves Sullivan in charge of the case, Flynn’s lawyer, Sidney Powell, will likely file a petition to the Supreme Court, which will then be heard and also decided along partisan lines. Thus, Flynn can rest easy, reassured by the high court’s 5-4 conservative majority. Again though, it ought to be a unanimous decision regardless of which judges or justices hear it: Objectively speaking, the law is clear.
Some in the legal world will complain about the damage Sullivan is doing to the public’s confidence in the criminal justice system. That confidence, however, is the result of widespread misperceptions. Indeed, if an engineer designed a system that ruined so many innocent lives, he would quickly find himself unhireable. If a doctor had such bad patient outcomes, he would lose his license.
So, Sullivan’s antics are a kind of public-service announcement, to the extent they damage the misperceptions that enable the worst aspects of the criminal justice system.
It’s just too bad Sullivan’s PSA will be drowned out by all the shyster media pundits who blindly or disingenuously insist the system works. That’s how misperceptions nearly become a reality.
