Mainstream Media Thinks Parler Is a “Threat to Democracy” Because Libertarians and Conservatives Get to Post

Unsurprisingly , the mainstream media and left-wing extremists are outraged .

After years of being censored on Facebook and Twitter, conservatives, libertarians, and other fans of free speech are making a mass exodus to new platforms. One that has really taken off since the election is Parler, which has been the most downloaded app in the country over the past two weeks.
Unsurprisingly, the mainstream media and left-wing extremists are outraged. How dare the people who have been censored, deplatformed, and shut down on their social media sites move to a site that promises not to treat them like pariahs? (By the way, you can find me on Parler here: @daisyluther ) They go as far as to say it’s a “threat to democracy” because libertarians and conservatives get to post.
Why on earth WOULDN’T people go to a different network?
Personally, I haven’t had access to my own Facebook pages for more than a year and won’t unless I send them photos of my passport, a utility bill, and other identifying information – because they didn’t think my driver’s license was sufficient. As well, I voluntarily archived my thriving preparedness groups because of the threat of losing both my groups, my own personal account, and the accounts of all my moderators if we let through a post of which Facebook disapproved. I wrote more about it here.
And remember when Twitter shut down Zero Hedge’s account for posting something about the coronavirus they deemed as misinformation that was later proven to be true? And how they put warnings on nearly anything the President posts? And how conservative and libertarian websites are being demonetized?
I invite you to try posting anything on standard social media that questions vaccines, the outcome of the election, the COVID lockdowns, or is pro-gun. I’ll see you in Facebook jail.
Everyone who is leaving is a crazy racist.
To hear the MSM talk about it, everyone over there has a “bunker mentality”, they’re joyously engaging in racism and hate speech, and they just want an echo chamber. It’s “not good for the country,” according to commentators on CNN.

Things to remember about social media
For those who want free speech that is not left-leaning, Parler definitely seems like a better option than the Big Tech monoliths. However, there are a few things to remember.
If you get to use something for free, you are the product. Either your eyeballs on advertisements or your information will make Parler money one of these days. And it’s understandable – the expense of running a platform like that is immense.

One of President Trump’s campaign lawyers in Pennsylvania was placed under official protection following threats against her, according to court papers filed Wednesday evening.
Philadelphia lawyer Linda Kerns “has been the subject of threats of harm, to the point at which the involvement of police and US Marshals has been necessary to provide for her safety,” the filing says.
The stunning revelation came two days after Kerns, a solo practitioner, sought sanctions against a lawyer from the firm representing Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar for leaving her an “abusive voicemail” on Saturday night.
Kerns also said in court papers Monday that she’d “been subjected to continuous harassment in the form of abusive emails, phone calls, physical and economic threats, and even accusations of treason — all for representing the President of the United States’ campaign in this litigation.”


BigTech Replacing Banks

COMMENT : Marty ; I am amazed .
Your information is light-years ahead of the curve as well as Socrates .
You said BigTech was censoring us because , under the Great Reset , banks would become obsolete .
Alphabet is moving to expand Google Pay into a checking account that can also grant users all credit cards and discounts .
No wonder they call you the legend !
See you in Orlando .
ANSWER : We have people delivering information inside many organizations that want the info out and disagree with what is taking place .
I do not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are in Silicone Valley , banks , governments , and around the world .
Why do you think they have been censoring free speech on behalf of the Democrats who have promised that under this Great Reset , there will be no private property for they will nullify all debt public and private .
That means the banks are no longer necessary for they will no longer lend money to even start businesses .
This agenda is so outrageous that it is being strategically pulled off while claiming anyone who objects they just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ never have to admit or deny anything .
They are overthrowing the United States and handing the power to a one-world government organized by the United Nations .
World leaders are all preaching the same agenda .
Those who voted for Biden will lose everything because they are so blind to the big picture and just hate Trump so they never looked at the agenda .
Bank of America closed many branches and never reopened them .
They are downsizing the physical presence of banking branches .
The same is taking place across @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to bail out the bankers anymore .
Eliminate the debt and the blackmail card they held that if they were not bailed out , the government could not sell their debt .
If there is to be no debt , then you do not need banks !
PS : Those bankers and Wall Street boys who supported Biden , you have been played as the greatest fool perhaps of the 21st century .

Scientists in Israel showed they could turn back the clock in two key areas of the body believed to be responsible for the frailty and ill-health that comes with growing older. As people age, the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes – called telomeres – shorten, causing DNA to become damaged and cells to stop replicating. At the same time, senescent cells build up in the body, preventing regeneration.
Now scientists have shown that giving pure oxygen to older people while in a hyperbaric chamber increased the length of their telomeres by 20%,a feat that has never been achieved before. The growth may mean that the telomeres of trial participants were now as long as they had been 25 years earlier. The therapy also reduced senescent cells by up to 37%, making way for new healthy cells to regrow. Animal studies have shown that removing senescent cells extends remaining life by more than one third.

investmentwatchblog--2020-11-19--THE INTERNET RESISTANCE: we must stop teaching parrots to think

Everyone in my own contrarian internet community these days is using oddities , abnormalities , statistics , percentages , contradictions and demonstrations of bad science or virological nonsense to point out what ’ s really going on behind the news .
But the vast majority of people are not consuming the news behind the news and deciding whether this or that person is the truth for whom the news wouldn ’ t be the news without the news .
They lack certain things that might allow them to do that – like time , interest , intelligence , time , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also , time .
So instead , they stick with the asserted and easily digestible diet on offer .
This food-for-no-thought is first of all masticated by a bunch of parrots , and then rammed down their beaks in a series of globally coordinated clichés .
The idea is that only that kind of gloop is going to be easily assimilated and turned into hate , fear and belief .
As ordinary people don ’ t fly around the world or engage in heavy petting with search engines , they can ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and bollocks are being put out wherever people live on whatever news channel or website to which they subscribe .
I thought today I might try and broaden awareness of just how choreographed , silly and eventually funny this Earthling Mediaspeak is .

Sadly , this is the science of Neil Ferguson , Chris Whitty and Peter Horby…..but it is the only one on offer in Boris Johnson ’ s knitting circle .
And so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ starts with ‘ Only ’ .
Only by destroying the economy can we build back better , because let ’ s face it , there is no basis at all for condemning trickle-down wealth as simply a myth .

investmentwatchblog--2020-11-19--Where next for interest-rates and bond yields?

As we find ourselves in a phase where possible solutions to the Covid-19 pandemic are in the news , the economic consequences for 2021 are optimistic .
For example , it looks as though it will mean the type of Lockdown the UK is experiencing will get less and less likely .
That is a relief as the issue of the Lockdown strategy is that you end up in a repeating loop .
The more hopeful reality does have potential consequences for interest-rates and some of this has been highlighted by Reuters .
Why ?
Well in line with this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Haldane yesterday .
Except as you can see the changes are in fact really rather minor in the broad scheme of things .
Between Nov. 5-9 , a period when it became clear Democrat Joe Biden had won the U.S. election and Pfizer announced its vaccine news , eurodollar futures , which track short-term U.S. rate expectations , flipped to reflect expectations of 10 bps in rate hikes by Sept 2022 .
Just the previous week , markets were predicting no changes .
Futures now expect U.S. rates at 0.50 % by September @ @ @ @ @ @ @ month previously .
At the ECB where rates are already minus 0.5 % , a nine bps cut was expected by September 2021 but that is now slashed to only five bps .
After all the interest-rate cuts we see that the US is expected to increase interest-rates by a mere 0.25 % over the next 3 years .
That is a bit thin if you note the promises of economic recovery .
But it is in line with one of my main themes which are that interest-rate cuts are for the now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for some future date and are much smaller if they happen at all .

As we find ourselves in a phase where possible solutions to the Covid-19 pandemic are in the news, the economic consequences for 2021 are optimistic. For example, it looks as though it will mean the type of Lockdown the UK is experiencing will get less and less likely. That is a relief as the issue of the Lockdown strategy is that you end up in a repeating loop. The more hopeful reality does have potential consequences for interest-rates and some of this has been highlighted by Reuters.
LONDON (Reuters) – Expectations of interest rate cuts in some of the world’s biggest economies have melted within the space of a month on hopes a successful coronavirus vaccine will fuel a growth bounceback next year.
Why? Well in line with this from Bank of England Chief Economist Andy Haldane yesterday.
LONDON (Reuters) – Bank of England Chief Economist Andy Haldane said the economic outlook for 2021 was “materially brighter” than he had expected just a few weeks ago despite short-term uncertainty from a renewed COVID-19 lockdown in England.
Except as you can see the changes are in fact really rather minor in the broad scheme of things.
Between Nov. 5-9, a period when it became clear Democrat Joe Biden had won the U.S. election and Pfizer announced its vaccine news, eurodollar futures, which track short-term U.S. rate expectations, flipped to reflect expectations of 10 bps in rate hikes by Sept 2022. Just the previous week, markets were predicting no changes. Futures now expect U.S. rates at 0.50% by September 2023, from 0.25% forecast a month previously. At the ECB where rates are already minus 0.5%, a nine bps cut was expected by September 2021 but that is now slashed to only five bps.
After all the interest-rate cuts we see that the US is expected to increase interest-rates by a mere 0.25% over the next 3 years. That is a bit thin if you note the promises of economic recovery. But it is in line with one of my main themes which are that interest-rate cuts are for the now and are large whereas interest-rate rises are for some future date and are much smaller if they happen at all. For example Bank of England Governor Mark Carney provided Forward Guidance for interest-rate increases in the summer of 2013. It is hard not to laugh as I type that his next move was to cut them! There was a rise some 5 years or so later to above the original “emergency” level of 0.5% which rather contrasts with the cuts seen in March.
As to the ECB which hasn’t has any increases at all since 2011 there has been this today by its President Christine Lagarde.
While all options are on the table, the pandemic emergency purchase programme (PEPP) and our targeted longer-term refinancing operations (TLTROs) have proven their effectiveness in the current environment and can be dynamically adjusted to react to how the pandemic evolves.
So Definitely Maybe, although these days interest-rate cuts may not be widely announced as for example the present TLTROs allow banks access to funds at -1% as opposed to the more general -0.5% of the Deposit Rate.
Meanwhile
I did point out earlier that interest-rate cuts are for the here and now and they seem to be rather en vogue this morning starting early in the Pacific region.
BI Board of Governors Meeting (RDG) in November 2020 decided to lower the BI 7-Day Reverse Repo Rate (BI7DRR) by 25 bps to 3.75%, as well as the Deposit Facility and Lending Facility rates which fell by 25 bps, to 3.00% and 4.50%.
Bank Indonesia did not have to wait long for company as the central bank of the Philippines was in hot pursuit.
At its meeting on monetary policy today, the Monetary Board decided to cut the interest rate on the BSP’s overnight reverse repurchase facility by 25 basis points to 2.0 percent, effective Friday, 20 November 2020. The interest rates on the overnight deposit and lending facilities were likewise reduced to 1.5 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively.
Perhaps the Bank of Russia fears missing out.
Russian Central Bank: Monetary Policy To Remain Accommodative In 2021…….Russian Central Bank: See Room For Further Rate Cuts But Not That Big.
Probably they are emboldened by the recent rise in the oil price which is a major issue for the Russian economy.

We looked at the Pacific region back in 2019 as an area especially affected by the “trade war” between the US and China. Some of that looks set to fade with the new US President but the Pacific now has another one.
China is digging in its heels as the trade spat between Canberra and Beijing continues, with officials laying responsibility for the tensions solely at Australia’s feet. ( ABC)
As well as the interest-rate cut Bank Indonesia is working to reduce bond yields.
As of 17 November 2020, Bank Indonesia has purchased SBN on the primary market through a market mechanism in accordance with the Joint Decree of the Minister of Finance and the Governor of Bank Indonesia dated April 16, 2020, amounting to IDR 72.49 trillion, including the main auction scheme, the Greenshoe Option (GSO) and Private Placement.
Primary purchases are unusual especially for an emerging market and another 385 trillion IDR have been bought via other forms of QE.
Philippines
The central bank gives us a conventional explanation around inflation as a starter.
Latest baseline forecasts continue to indicate a benign inflation environment over the policy horizon, with inflation expectations remaining firmly anchored within the target range of 2-4 percent. Average inflation is seen to settle within the lower half of the target band for 2020 up to 2022, reflecting slower domestic economic activity, lower global crude oil prices, and the recent appreciation of the peso. The balance of risks to the inflation outlook also remains tilted toward the downside owing largely to potential disruptions to domestic and global economic activity amid the ongoing pandemic.
But we all know that the main course is this.
Meanwhile, uncertainty remains elevated amid the resurgence of COVID-19 cases globally. However, the Monetary Board also observed that global economic prospects have moderated in recent weeks. At the same time, the Monetary Board noted that while domestic output contracted at a slower pace in the third quarter of 2020, muted business and household sentiment and the impact of recent natural calamities could pose strong headwinds to the recovery of the economy in the coming months.
Comment
As you can see the story about the end of interest-rate cuts has already hit trouble. Central bankers seem unable to break their addiction. I will have to do a proper count again but I am pretty sure we have now had around 780 interest-rate cuts in the credit crunch era. So it seems that the muzak played on the central bank loudspeakers will keep this particular status quo for a while yet.

Putting it another way we have another example of a bipolar world where there may be drivers for higher interest-rates but the central banksters much prefer to cut them.This gets more complex as we see so many countries with or near negative interest-rates and bond yields.

Social gatherings are prohibited. Social gatherings are groups of individuals, who are not members of the same household, congregated together for a common or coordinated social, community, or leisure purpose — even if social distancing can be maintained.
Depending on how you read the EO (unclear wording), some outdoor recreation kept at more than 6 feet with people from other households might be allowed, but even if so it’s still creepy that you’d be fined/jailed for 90 days if you were found within 6 feet of someone from a different household.
However it also says:
Outdoor recreational activities allowed by this Executive Order do not include performances, competitions, team events, tournaments, races, rallies, organized sports, organized group classes, spectator events, fairs, or any other events that involve the gathering of individuals from more than one household.
so there’s a ton of near-doublespeak in this thing

(by Half Dollar) There is mainstream reporting that began on Thursday and continues this Friday about a disagreement between Hollywood Flunky Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and Terrorist Leader
Fed Chair Jerome Powell on whether certain types of stimulus should be extended, or not.
Here’s what’s going on, from Bloomberg (bold in all following quotes added for emphasis and commentary) :
The top two U.S. economic policymakers clashed over whether to preserve emergency lending programs designed to shore up the economy — a rare moment of discord as the nation confronts the risk of a renewed downturn spurred by the resurgent coronavirus.
No matter what happens going forward, as in, a tweak here or a tweak there, one thing is absolutely certain: The Fed and Treasury are in fact engaging in, and will continue to engage in “emergency” market interventions.
Shame on Bloomberg for planting the seed otherwise.
Continuing, if you can stomach it:
The disagreement erupted late Thursday when outgoing Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin released a letter to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell demanding the return of money the government provides the central bank so it can lend to certain markets in times of stress. Minutes later, the Fed issued a statement urging that “the full suite” of measures be maintained into 2021.
It’s not like any of that “money” matters, for it’s all just debt monetization.
That is to say, we’re not even talking about “money” Bloomberg, so shame on you again, but rather, we’re talking about unbacked, debt-based fiat currency dependent on exponential, unsustainable growth, otherwise known as the Federal Reserve Note and commonly called the “US Dollar”.
If you want to know what our “money” is actually REQUIRED to be, read section 8 and section 10 of this all-important document that’s anything but followed, much less defended by any of our public “servants” or elected “leaders”, including the Deep State Globalist in Patriot’s Clothing.
Continuing, even though it’s getting very hard to stomach:
“This is a significant and disturbing breach at a critical time for the economy,” said Tony Fratto, who worked at the Treasury and the White House during the George W. Bush administration. “We need all the arms of government working together and instead we’re seeing a complete breakdown,” he said, noting that Washington remains at an impasse on fiscal stimulus as well.
Not that I think the Fed should exist, for I think the Fed should be labeled a Domestic Terrorist Organization and dealt with accordingly, but here we have a former “public servant” discussing the Treasury and the Fed as one in the same.
Is that funny, ironic, pathetic, or sad?

Meh.
Doesn’t matter.
Continuing (throws up a little bit in mouth):
Investor reaction to the split was swift amid fears the decision will unsettle markets and impede the economic recovery: futures on the S&P 500 Index were down 0.5% in early Friday trading in Europe, with haven demand sending Treasuries higher and pulling down yields.
Um, there is no economic recovery Bloomberg.
Again, shame on you Bloomberg for the propagandists that you are, spewing your typical product, but nonetheless, sure, it could throw “investors” off if “investors” for some reason are still gambling in the rigged casino known as Wall Street!
Good luck with that!
Maybe I’ll hold it down after all:
Treasury chiefs and Fed chairs typically coordinate closely at times of crisis, appearing jointly before Congress and working in lockstep to ensure funding markets run smoothly. The two agencies were tightly linked in the bailouts of the financial and auto industry more than a decade ago. And they united again in the March 2020 Cares Act economic rescue package, which appropriated cash for the government to finance Fed backstops for everything from municipal to corporate finance after markets buckled when the pandemic hit.
Nope.
Sorry.
I just pulled another Janet Yellen:
Keep reading the article on Bloomberg, but only if you can stomach it.

investmentwatchblog--2020-11-20--NEW MEDICAL STUDY: YOUR FACE MASK IS NOT PROTECTING YOU

The long-awaited medical study from Denmark examining the ability of face masks to protect people from coronavirus was finally published on Wednesday .
This study provides evidence counter to the propaganda dominant in media and government communications .
Providing good news for people suffering through wearing masks , and bad news for the politicians and businesses pushing the uncomfortable , dangerous , and dehumanizing dress code , the newly released medical study indicates face masks are not protecting people from coronavirus .
Most of us can see this with our own eyes .
People are masked up everywhere , yet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those contracting COVID-19 are religious mask wearers .
Not to mention a hot mic moment when two politicians admitted that wearing a mask is political theatre .
And still , people are putting on the ritualistic shame muzzle just because some liar in a suit ordered them to .
When did humans transform into such gullible mindless sheep ?
Most Western elites are telegraphing the message that we will be forced to cover our humanity with cheap Chinese face burkas indefinitely .
They are mandating that even two-year-olds must wear masks .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and behavioral problems and development of infants and toddlers is enormous .
For such an unconstitutional invasion of personal liberty , they are responsible to show us some amazing degree of effectiveness of this cultish ritual .
In fact , the data show the opposite .
–The Blaze No medical journal wanted to publish this study because it fails to follow the narrative handed down by tyrants .
In fact , three medical journals were so averse to publishing its findings .
However , science and facts are still more important than cult @ @ @ @ @ @ @ study was finally published yesterday in the prestigious Annals of Internal Medicine .
The study completely obliterates the cultish devotion to masks .
The results of this massive real-life controlled experiment show that the group that wore surgical masks in April experienced a 0.38 % lower infection rate than the control group that did not wear masks .
That is about one-third of one percent , which is so low that it could just be statistically random variances that demonstrate no definitive efficacy even to that infinitesimal level .
“ The recommendation to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ health measures did not reduce the SARS-CoV-2 infection rate among wearers by more than 50 % in a community with modest infection rates , some degree of social distancing , and uncommon general mask use , ” concluded the authors .
“ The data were compatible with lesser degrees of self-protection.
” It appears that the study ’ s authors had to twist their tongues in order to get this study published by noting that “ the estimates were imprecise and statistically compatible with an effect ranging from a 46 % decrease to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They of course had to concede that their study doesn ’ t definitely rule out the idea that masks could be effective !
–The Blaze The problem is every place has seen the virus spread to everyone in the ensuing months , including in places with 100 % mask compliance .
The Danish study results clearly corroborate what we see with our own eyes in all environments .
As we have said from the beginning , this is not about health .
It ’ s about control .
Just how far does this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and realize it ?

The long-awaited medical study from Denmark examining the ability of face masks to protect people from coronavirus was finally published on Wednesday. This study provides evidence counter to the propaganda dominant in media and government communications.
Providing good news for people suffering through wearing masks, and bad news for the politicians and businesses pushing the uncomfortable, dangerous, and dehumanizing dress code, the newly released medical study indicates face masks are not protecting people from coronavirus. Most of us can see this with our own eyes. People are masked up everywhere, yet cases are spiking and the majority of those contracting COVID-19 are religious mask wearers.
CDC Study: Most COVID-19 Cases Were Admitted Mask Wearers
Not to mention a hot mic moment when two politicians admitted that wearing a mask is political theatre. And still, people are putting on the ritualistic shame muzzle just because some liar in a suit ordered them to. When did humans transform into such gullible mindless sheep?

Hot Mic Moment: Lawmakers Admit Masks ‘Political Theatre’
Most Western elites are telegraphing the message that we will be forced to cover our humanity with cheap Chinese face burkas indefinitely. They are mandating that even two-year-olds must wear masks. The long-term effects on the lungs, emotional and behavioral problems and development of infants and toddlers is enormous. For such an unconstitutional invasion of personal liberty, they are responsible to show us some amazing degree of effectiveness of this cultish ritual. In fact, the data show the opposite. –The Blaze
No medical journal wanted to publish this study because it fails to follow the narrative handed down by tyrants. In fact, three medical journals were so averse to publishing its findings. However, science and facts are still more important than cult rituals to some. The Danish mask study was finally published yesterday in the prestigious Annals of Internal Medicine. The study completely obliterates the cultish devotion to masks. The results of this massive real-life controlled experiment show that the group that wore surgical masks in April experienced a 0.38% lower infection rate than the control group that did not wear masks. That is about one-third of one percent, which is so low that it could just be statistically random variances that demonstrate no definitive efficacy even to that infinitesimal level.
“The recommendation to wear surgical masks to supplement other public health measures did not reduce the SARS-CoV-2 infection rate among wearers by more than 50% in a community with modest infection rates, some degree of social distancing, and uncommon general mask use,” concluded the authors. “The data were compatible with lesser degrees of self-protection.”
It appears that the study’s authors had to twist their tongues in order to get this study published by noting that “the estimates were imprecise and statistically compatible with an effect ranging from a 46% decrease to a 23% increase in infection.” They of course had to concede that their study doesn’t definitely rule out the idea that masks could be effective! –The Blaze
Double-negatives in science are just hilarious. The Danish study had to eat a bunch of mouth worms to get the thing published. Concluding line: “…cannot statistically exclude no effect.” pic.twitter.com/xuyJRy4RS6 — Justin Hart (@justin_hart) November 18, 2020
The problem is every place has seen the virus spread to everyone in the ensuing months, including in places with 100% mask compliance. The Danish study results clearly corroborate what we see with our own eyes in all environments.
As we have said from the beginning, this is not about health. It’s about control. Just how far does this have to go before people wake up and realize it?
