1cvmask··on Where the Despairing Log On, and Learn Ways to Die
Another day another article from the NY Times advocating censorship. Now they want Google and Bing to censor search results all under the guise of protecting people from suicide. People were committing suicide successfully before the internet and websites on the subject.
1cvmask··on Nobel Peace laureates blast tech giants and warn against rising authoritarianism
I can imagine them imprisoning Nobel Prize laureates as they have bombed Nobel Prize recipients as well.

1cvmask··on Nobel Peace laureates blast tech giants and warn against rising authoritarianism
If they were going to give their award to a truly deserving recipient it would have been the tortured and imprisoned journalist Julian Assange who is an advocate of free speech and an independent media and voices. Instead they gave the awards deliberately to censorship advocates. It's the journalistic equivalent of giving war criminals and killers of children Nobel Peace Prizes like Kissinger and Obama.

1cvmask··on Julian Assange can be extradited to the US, court rules
Obama droned them. The Judge Dredd of Presidents:

1cvmask··on Assange judge is 40-year ‘good friend’ of minister who orchestrated his arrest
Obviously the judge will be “impartial” and not recuse himself. Only bad countries don’t have justice like China and Russia according to the main stream media.
1cvmask··on Shkreli's price gouging scheme shut down in 40M settlement
The price gouging is enabled by the law. There is nothing like the pharmaceutical laws in the US. It is illegal for the world's biggest purchaser of drugs to be able to negotiate prices. It is the allegedly fiscally conservative Republicans who passed this law in 2003!!

In other countries you can import drugs etc....

None of the anti-competitive restrictions enshrined in law like the US exists anywhere.

Your license seems confusing. Could you kindly explain it?
1cvmask··on Disdain for the Less Educated Is the Last Acceptable Prejudice
Wokeism exists solely to divide the lower classes to forget about simple stuff like Medicare for all or the amount of money wasted on the national security state (over $1.25 trillion in real terms).

Even if you give equity only make sure it has a vesting schedule and clear KPIs and deliverables.

1cvmask··on The CIA and the Media (1977)
There are some great John Stockwell videos on CSPAN and YouTube.

Wow. I love Ken Burns. Did not know he did Ali as well. The Vietnam War, The Roosevelts and Prohibition by him are among my favorite documentaries.
1cvmask··on Number of journalists in jail reaches global high
And Obama has killed and droned US citizens who were journalists and even his US citizen children with a great Orwellian response by the White House spokesman.

1cvmask··on Twitter shutting down acquired service Quill with 4 day notice and no DM export
Twitters cavalier attitude bleeds into everything from suspending accounts to overnight cutting APIs to developers. No surprise here. And new CEO seems worse than Jack Dorsey having banned accounts that cover Ghislaine Maxwell and Nancy Pelosi’s stock investments.
1cvmask··on Masayuki Uemura has died
Quite unusual for that era in corporate Japan he switched from Sharp to Nintendo. Sarariman of that era were lifers.
1cvmask··on The CIA and the Media (1977)
Good indicative piece in the article:

Among the executives who lent their cooperation to the Agency were Williarn Paley of the Columbia Broadcasting System, Henry Luce of Tirne Inc., Arthur Hays Sulzberger of the New York Times, Barry Bingham Sr. of the LouisviIle Courier‑Journal, and James Copley of the Copley News Service. Other organizations which cooperated with the CIA include the American Broadcasting Company, the National Broadcasting Company, the Associated Press, United Press International, Reuters, Hearst Newspapers, Scripps‑Howard, Newsweek magazine, the Mutual Broadcasting System, the Miami Herald and the old Saturday Evening Post and New York Herald‑Tribune.

By far the most valuable of these associations, according to CIA officials, have been with the New York Times, CBS and Time Inc.

Glad you noticed the Chicago reference. There are many more such examples. My favorite doublespeak is the fancy name for killing Obama administration used:

We also classify people who are spies, publish fake news or lie all the time as journalists as well.

During the Church Committee it got public that the publishers of Time Henry Luce, New York Times’ Sulzberger and so many journalists worked for the CIA:

“Among the executives who lent their cooperation to the Agency were Williarn Paley of the Columbia Broadcasting System, Henry Luce of Tirne Inc., Arthur Hays Sulzberger of the New York Times, Barry Bingham Sr. of the LouisviIle Courier‑Journal, and James Copley of the Copley News Service.

1cvmask··on Number of journalists in jail reaches global high
That’s actually a EU/US style when they forcibly downed the plane in Austria of a hesd of state Evo Morales of Bolivia. They then orchestrated a coup against Evo Morales, who had non-white indigenous support and over 50 percent, and replace him with a minority white supremacist regimes (5% vote).

Isn’t that one of the definitions of dictatorships in other non-white countries according to neocon NGO/CIA/white savior class. The separation of powers that may exist de jure but no de facto when it comes to the power structure like in the US.

So we don’t classify jailed and tortured Julian Assange as a journalist even though he broke amongst some of the biggest news stories over the last 20 years. Or that the Trump administration planned on assasinating him. Or that Joe Biden is trying to extradite him on trumped up charges (pun not intended).

Or the Black TV reporter Bilal Abdul Kareem from Chicago that Obama tried to kill multiple times:

1cvmask··on New Zealand to ban cigarettes for future generations
It is hard to beat the US as a nanny state where we even regulate diving boards in swimming pools, a license to serve drinks as a bartender (depends on state) and not only how you live but how you die (the licenses for funeral parlors are highly regulated in many states to benefit the mob).
