SHOW NOTES
NOT in any particular order, some covered in more depth than others. NOTE: I did not get to any info about climate change today.
I read about lynchings and a communist folk singer
(Wikipedia) Woody Guthrie, real name Woodrow Wilson "Woody" Guthrie, a “dedicated Communist” whose guitar read This machine kills fascists —
His father: Charles Guthrie was an industrious businessman, owning at one time up to 30 plots of land in Okfuskee County.[10] He was actively involved in Oklahoma politics and was a conservative Democratic candidate for office in the county. Charles Guthrie was reportedly involved in the 1911 lynching of Laura and L. D. Nelson.[17] (Woody Guthrie wrote three songs about the event in the 1960s. He said that his father, Charles, became a member of the Ku Klux Klan during its revived beginning in 1915.[17][18])
I also read about Lynching of Jesse Washington in Waco, TX.
COMMUNIST PANDERING
UK hospitals are Influenced by Harvard Medical School report encouraging use of “birthing person” rather than mother to appease trans… UK Hospitals ditch term “breastfeeding” for “chest feeding” out of concern for transgenders… “Ethically problematic” to call nursing “natural” … “supports biologically deterministic arguments about the roles of men and women in the family”… (Revolver / Campus Reform)
BTW: SPeaking of Harvard: Harvard Med School: Stop COVID with race reparations… Claims giving $800K to black households would slash COVID by 68%… COVID “a form of symbolic violence” against black people… (Revolver / another Campus Reform article)
BASED? Poland vs. Communist Anti-American U.S. Social Media
(Revolver / Fox News) Deputy Polish Justice Minister Sebastian Kaleta says Trump's removal from Twitter set dangerous precedent.
NOTE: I HEARD PUTIN SAID SOMETHING SIMILAR, AND THAT HE WAS RIGHT.
Social media companies that censor users or remove posts for ideological reasons could soon face fines in Poland in a world-first attempt to curb the power of Big Tech through legislation.
A guy behind the bill Kaleta said social media companies have been targeting conservatives, Christianity and traditional values.
"We see that when Big Tech decides to remove content for political purposes, it’s mostly content which praises traditional values or praises conservatism," he said, "and it is deleted under their 'hate speech policy' when it has no legal right to do so."
It’d be fines of $13.5 million unless the content is also illegal under Polish law.
Tech companies had reached a point where they were deciding what was legal and what was not -- but that was not their role, Kaleta says.
"Freedom of speech is not something that anonymous moderators working for private companies should decide," he said. "Instead, that is for the national body; duly elected officials and all industries, car, phones, finance -- were unregulated till they grew too large -- the same should happen with Big Tech."
"It’s very disturbing because if Big Tech sees themselves as an organization empowered enough to ban a sitting president of the U.S., it sends a message to the world --that we can ban anyone, whenever we want," he added.
India pro-censorship
Meanwhile, in India, social media is also being curbed by the government but in a very different way: Twitter has caved to the demands of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and removed 500 accounts that were being critical of his leadership during recent protests. Twitter relented after its employees in India were threatened with arrest.
North Dakota FIGHTING CENSORSHIP!

Speaking of censorship
“People Will Revolt:” Facebook bans all news stories from Australia… (Revolver / The Telegraph YouTube video)
Fire services, charities, politicians blocked amid chaotic ban… it was inadvertent, after Facebook's sudden and dramatic decision to block people from sharing news in Australia.
(Revolver / MSN) The anti-American social media giant said Wednesday that it would stop people in Australia from sharing or viewing news from local and international outlets in response to proposed legislation in the country that would force tech firms to pay news publishers for content.
Why Facebook banned news and Google is paying news publishers…
(Revolver / Vox) Australia is on the cusp of passing a law called the News Media and Digital Platforms Mandatory Bargaining Code, which would force Facebook and Google to pay publishers if they host their content. The law is a response to years-long complaints from news outlets around the world about the role that Google and Facebook — and their mammoth digital ad businesses — have played in the decline of journalism and the decimation of its business model in the internet age. The two companies have responded in different ways: Google is making deals with Australian news publishers; Facebook is cutting them off entirely.
Based on reasoning that the law won’t apply to it as long as news links can’t be shared on its platform, Facebook has banned all users from sharing links to Australian news sources; Australian publications’ pages from hosting any of their own content at all; and Australian users from sharing any news links at all, Australian or international.
PM REACTS
Facebook also seems to be blocking anything it thinks is an Australian news source — which currently includes several sites that are decidedly not news outlets. There were reports of government pages being restricted, for example. (Also, bike trails.)
“Facebook’s actions to unfriend Australia today, cutting off essential information services on health and emergency services, were as arrogant as they were disappointing,” Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison wrote in a Facebook post. “These actions will only confirm the concerns that an increasing number of countries are expressing about the behaviour of BigTech companies who think they are bigger than governments and that the rules should not apply to them.”
He added: “We will not be intimidated by BigTech seeking to pressure our Parliament as it votes on our important News Media Bargaining Code.”
The search giant has already started working out payment deals with Australian publications. On Wednesday, it announced a deal with Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. Murdoch, Australia’s exceedingly rich and powerful news magnate and native son, has been very vocal about wanting a law that forces digital platforms to pay his publications, and he may well have influenced the country’s decision to move forward with this law.
They wanna censor podcasts now
“Disinformation” spooks turn their sights on Internet podcasts… “Dangerous” *not* to censor populists like Steve Bannon… (Revolver / The Verge article by far-left Ashley Carman)
When former White House adviser-turned-podcaster Steve Bannon (one-time head of Breitbart) SUPPOSEDLY called for capital punishment for Hillary fan Dr. Anthony Fauci and sleazy lying liberal FBI director Christopher Wray, the tech platforms reacted. Twitter, YouTube, and Spotify all banned him and his podcast relatively quickly, cutting off access to their millions of users. Apple Podcasts, however, the most popular podcast app, let his show stay up; months later, Bannon encouraged his listeners to protest at the Capitol. He ranks in Apple’s top 20 news podcasts.
A story from ProPublica in January claimed dangers in not moderating what Ashley calls “clearly harmful voices” like Bannon.
People in the industry say it’d be real tough to monitor and censor podcasts.
ooOoooOoOOOooo. The Alex Jones Show is still available today on Google Podcasts and smaller apps like Castbox, and the open nature of RSS means you can still listen to his shows inside of Apple Podcasts and other apps where it’s banned if you seek it out.
Now, QAnon podcasts are flourishing on at least one hosting platform, Podbean, which also hosts Bannon’s podcast, and outright fraud has occurred on Apple’s podcast charts. Copycat podcasts have also sprung up on Anchor, Spotify’s podcast creation software.
