FBI Censorship

credit: House Judiciary Committee

The FBI has been working with the Ukrainian army to sensor social media, according to a new report. This is further proof of the war propaganda effort that is controlling the Internet that you and I both use.

This report comes from the House Judiciary Committee. It says that FBI has been working at the request of the SBU, a part of the Ukrainian army, to demand censorship on social media. In fact, the FBI was working through Agent Elvis Chan, who we saw a lot in the Twitter Files, to take down any accounts that were critical of Ukraine or the SBU, which they said was Russian disinformation. Some of these accounts were legitiate American accounts, American journalists, or in one case, the official, verified, Russian-language account of the U.S. State Department.

The report says that the SBU is infiltrated by Russian spies so really the FBI is working on misinformation on behalf of Russia. It offers no proof of this Russian connection other than media reports instead of intelligence. It almost doens't matter who is behind the effort. The point is that the U.S. government has been working on behalf of a foreign military to censor information.

Last week a judge ruled that the government can no longer reach out to social media companies to tell them what to censor and the Justice Department appealed the ruling so that they could keep on censoring. Just yesterday judge denied it, saying, no, the ruling is still in place. The government still can't censor information through social media.

So this censorship business that the government has been doing with Ukraine is supposed to stop now. Keyword: Supposed to.

NATO Egg On His Face

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is none too happy about the lack of NATO membership offered to him at this week's NATO summit.

“It seems there is no readiness neither to invite Ukraine to Nato nor to make it a member of the alliance . . . For Russia, this means motivation to continue its terror,” he said, ahead of arriving at the summit in Vilnius, Lithuania.

NATO offered Ukaine an opportunity to skip one of two application steps, which other applicants such as Finland, Sweden and Norway did not get but Ukraine did not want a fast pass. They wanted a full pass.

On his official Telegram channel, Zelensky called these symbolic offerings "unprecendented and absurd."

Still, President Zelensky will show up for the first meeting of the Ukraine-NATO council today with President Biden to discuss further military aid to Ukraine in its war with Russia.

A new report from Ukrainian media says that the counteroffensive has failed because the West hasn't sent enough weapons fast enough.

Trans Fakers

A new report in England shows that some male prisoners pretend to be transgendered in order to be transferred into women’s prisoners. You don’t say!?

The report further says that men who were “jailed for sexual offences are twice as likely to identify as trans women than men jailed for other types of offences.” Meaning that the men who are moved into women’s spaces are sexual offenders.

“Participants described how the fakers were a threat both to the reputation of prisoners who were transitioning gender, but also a threat to the limited resources that were available to them in custody.,” said the report’s author Sarah Firth, a forensic psychologist with the prison service.

Prisoners who had fully transitioned even felt that many men being moved into the women’s prison were “fakers.”

New rules in the U.K. no longer allow biological men to self identify into women’s prisons.

Covid Death Reviews

A study on Covid vaccine deaths was published and then removed by the Lancet. How does this happen exactly?

The study was done by a group of doctors who reviewed death certificates of people who died within one week of recieving the Covid vaccine. They found that close to 74% of the deaths they reviewed could be attributed to the vaccine. This totaled 240 deaths in total.

The most common cause of organ failure post vaccines were the "cardiovascular system (53%), followed by the hematological system (17%), the respiratory system (8%) and multiple organ systems (7%)."

This is consistent with Pfizer's own early vaccine trials so it should not be controversial but the Lancet publishers removed the study and replaced it with this statement: "This preprint has been removed by Preprints with the Lancet because the study’s conclusions are not supported by the study methodology."

This study review methodology is not a new type of study. It is an odd reason to remove a paper with inconvenient conclusions, is it not?
