"The 'right freedom of speech' is killing the West" by Batko Milacic

  The “right freedom of speech” is killing the West by Batko Milacic for The Saker Blog Free speech has long been a cornerstone of Western society. However, within the past few years the situation has completely changed. Recently, one of the Western`s oldest public figures – the legendary leader of the Western Civil Liberties Union Ira Glasser, who for many years fought against racism, violation of the rights of workers and employees, and government corruption, spoke about a discussion that took place at one of the leading Western universities following a lecture he had delivered there. Young people, from student to professor, argued that freedom of speech is incompatible with social justice because it cannot fully guarantee the rights of LGBT people, migrants and non-white minorities. Glasser, who had fought for the equal rights in Western society for many years, was frightened to see Western democracy dying right before his eyes. In a modern society freedom of speech cannot be ab...

Meet Jigsaw: Google’s Intelligence Agency

  Meet Jigsaw: Google’s Intelligence Agency PrivacyToGo It’s no secret that Google regularly collaborates with intelligence agencies. They are a known  NSA subcontractor . They launched  Google Earth using a CIA spy satellite network . Their executive suite’s revolving door with  DARPA is well known . In the wake of the January 6th Capitol event, the  FBI used Google location data to pwn attendants  with nothing more than a valid Gmail address and smartphone login: The police were then able to obtain an Instagram registration email, which turned out to be a Gmail address. With that in hand, investigators ordered Google to provide any location data they had on that Gmail user, which the tech giant duly provided after it identified a linked smartphone. A stark reminder that  carrying a tracking device with a Google login , even with the SIM card removed, can mean the difference between freedom and an orange jumpsuit in the Great Reset era. But Google als...

Kucinich warns that this assault is more than the seizure of public assets for priv...

Covid19 – the final nail in coffin of medical research

  Covid19 – the final nail in coffin of medical research Dr Malcolm Kendrick “The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our life-time.”   Edward Grey Several years ago, I wrote a book called Doctoring Data. It was my attempt to help people navigate their way through medical headlines and medical data. One of the main reasons I was stimulated to write it, is because I had become deeply concerned that science, especially medical science, had been almost fully taken over by commercial interests. With the end result that much of the data we were getting bombarded with was enormously biased, and thus corrupted. I wanted to show how some of this bias gets built in. I was not alone in my concerns. As far back as 2005, John Ioannidis wrote the very highly cited paper ‘ Why most Published Research Findings are False’ . It has been downloaded and read by many, many, thousands of researchers over the years, so they can’t say they don’t know: ‘Moreov...
