Interesting that you refer to Putin's FSB "thugs" but don't use similar derogatory language when referring to our own government. Seems like a double standard to me. The U.S. security/intelligence apparatus is just as thuggish as anything Putin has. Just ask Paul Manafort or anyone that is still in detention over January 6, 2021.

So Russia is censoring big tech? Kinda like they censor anyone who doesn’t buy the far left narrative on, well, everything? Like they censored Hunter Biden laptop stories, or the vaccine doesn’t prevent spread, or the 100% voting rate in WI nursing homes?

Hmmmmm....... so he’s acting like big tech. Am I supposed to be outraged?

Tucker, whom I don’t always agree with but at least respect, had a monologue Friday discussing what I do actually care about. And it’s not what Russia is censoring.

Even if you think you hate Tucker, it’s worth a listen.

This is a reminder that the CDC and the FDA ( and Fauci and Birx and Collins and all the rest of them) suppressed and banned Ivermectin in order to force the America people into taking deadly mRNA vaccines that don’t stop COVID but do change your DNA.

Almost the entire American medical community bent the knee to the CDC and the FDA too — which means that they failed to protect their sick patients from treatments that don’t work (COVID vaccines, Remdesivir) and failed to give them treatments that do work. Our doctors waited to treat sick patients until COVID was well advanced, and then hooked them up to useless ventilators and useless drugs until they died — because our doctors and our hospitals were incentivized by the U.S. federal government to do so.

The Question, Alex, to the headline is: 'What happens when you're so corrupt and dishonest that you've destroyed all of your country's institutions and none have any moral standing in the world, let alone your own with your own citizens?'

Big Tech's now offended: "Russia shouldn't be able to censor OUR censoring! We're crafting a narrative here." Well, boo-damn-HOO! (Our spineless leaders could learn a few things from Putin on this subject.)

Free speech means the right to spread “misinformation”. Speech is never free if there is a gatekeeper. Defend misinformation!!

Agreed. But also, why wouldn’t Russia pull the plug since these Western US based platforms were being used to deliver Western propaganda, while actively suppressing pro Russian accounts. The world would be better with no Google, Facebook, or Twitter if they can’t be trusted to allow all free speech.

The new great propaganda and censorship machine is the west. What is so disgusting is it basically took pocket change to buy America’s lawmakers and the media and completely corrupt our entire healthcare system. Literally pocket change for them them to betray Americans and let these globalists unleash their plan for a dystopia hell on the entire world.

I imagine that everything that anyone with an internet connection can find about Hunter Biden's dealings in Ukraine pale in comparison to what Russian intelligence must know. Biden is clearly compromised. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a back door deal that gave Putin the green light...

I wonder if Russians obsess about American misinformation? (and dis- and mal-)

We should always keep in mind Joe has been on the Russian payroll for years. None of his protestations can be believed. Joe is way more corrupt than Vlad, he's just less honest about it, and less successful.

It all comes down to you can't have it both ways. Either all censorship is bad all the time, OR Some censorship is OK sometimes.

In the former case, it's easy: HANDS OFF.

In the latter case, exactly WHO decides? And therein lies the rub with censorship.

The hypocrisy is stunning. People who were OK with censoring/de-platforming/canceling so-called covid misinformation are now puffed up with righteous indignation about Russia/Putin/Ukraine.

Russian crackdown on Freedom of Expression? How about American crackdown on freedom of expression! Not sure how many realIze it but this hasn’t been the land of the “free” for some time now. (When political correctness reared it’s ugly head. Politically correct = censorship)

What is that saying about they came for all these other people and I said nothing, until they came for me…

Our Government trying to blame everything they do to it's own citizens (USA) on Russia. What a fricken Joke. Classic commie 101. Deny and project what they are in fact doing.
