DAY SCHOOL TLDR DIGEST, 9/11-18

"Much like in 2020, Big Tech companies are actively censoring information they deem harmful to their official narrative or preferred candidates. By falsely labeling factual information from conservatives “misinformation,” such companies have the power to control the flow of information that informs voters and rig elections in their favor."

Here’s How Big Tech Plans To Rig The 2022 Midterms

"Rekmans, the party's first Indigenous president, believed she could help the Greens "rise from the ashes" and transform into a vibrant, inclusive party, while meeting the challenge of protecting the planet. 

Those hopes weren't realized, she said.  "Now I see that, for me, the dream is dead," she states. "I am exhausted and my optimism has died ... To me, this signals an end to the (Green Party of Canada.)""

"Crimes like the Espionage Act are intentionally drawn up to make conviction easy and punishment severe. Americans need to ask themselves what’s more dangerous: Donald Trump, or a federal law enforcement bureaucracy prosecutes people for the same rules it breaks, regularly argues that national security is harmed by allowing you to see the case against you, and appears ready to start using its vast power to punish political offenses? Is getting Donald Trump worth tossing out constitutional protections? Because that’s where this is all headed.  “When you have principles,” says Flowers, “sometimes those principles even protect people you don’t like.” But we need them, and if we don’t protect them, we’ll lose them."

“Russian society, just as the Russian army, is decaying and falling apart because of corruption,” Pavel Filatyev, a Russian soldier who has published a scathing memoir of the first two months of the war, told NBC News. “So the Russian army often is not acting carefully, they are acting unprofessionally, and a lot of mistakes are being made.”

"I think it was a political stunt…But like any problem if you want to fix a problem make it visible. And I think (the problem) was made visible.  In terms of coming (to America), I have no issue with that.  But there is a process. There is a path you should follow. Follow that. Document it, the process and procedure for coming over."  \

“Churchill was right the first time…barbarous “defendants” would be presumed innocent. “All sorts of complications ensue as soon as you admit a fair trial,” the prime minister opined. Better to “execute the principal criminals as outlaws.””

“The Russians know who their natural allies are, and so do we: the Chinese, who operate their own gulag system; the North Koreans, who do the same; the Iranians; and a handful of other bloodstained regimes. Yet this alliance is built on paranoia, rather than success, and by a desire to keep America and the West out instead of showcasing their societies as a model for other countries to imitate. Its failure will be our victory.”

“Perhaps it is time to rethink this approach that made mockery of Britain’s position as an international powerbroker and has tied the hands of the UN for more than seven decades. It is time to deliver the hard truth that those who reject internationally brokered plans of partition, reject every offer of statehood put to them, and consistently use violence as a political device, do not set the terms. It is time to risk offending the other side…as long as the Palestinian leadership receives the cost-free solidarity, currency and diplomatic recognition of the world, a negotiated outcome is an impossibility.”

The show was bad, and its ratings were bad, and it was increasingly embarrassing itself with its combination of self-seriousness and inadvertent cluelessness. Despite Stelter’s repeated claims to be a media watchdog (and his previous experience as a decent newspaper reporter), during the Trump years he turned into one of the mainstream media’s most shameful—and shamefully partisan—apologists.”

“"Having been thrashed on battlefield, Putin is getting thrashed at conference table, too. Doesn't take much clairvoyance to see that Xi, Modi, and others are deeply annoyed by fallout from Russia's war in Ukraine. Stunning erosion of Russia's — and Putin's — diplomatic position," Hal Brands, a professor of global affairs at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies, said in a tweet.  "Nobody likes losers, and he's losing now in Ukraine," Michael McFaul, the former US ambassador to Russia, said in an appearance on MSNBC on Thursday.”
