We can't go on this way.
We have come to a crossroads now that we've connected the fact that behind the soaring number of Data Centers is the devious plan to control people by controlling the information they hear. It's a process that began decades ago when the Fairness Doctrine ended, followed by the Robert's Court ruling on Citizens United. In two steps, they weakened the media's obligation to properly inform the public, and they gave those with deep pockets more power to attack their opponents using vile lies. Plainly, in a country where there is no controls over the quality of speech, billionaires have succeeded in controlling speech.
Now enters the era of the Data Centers. We already know the damage they can do because of what happened when Zelensky neutralized the Data Centers in Russia. Those foreign bot farms disseminated false information with the intention of triggering the US conservative voters. Sadly, their racist tropes worked, because racism exists in this country. So, essentially, a foreign country, with the blessing of conservative leaders in this country, intentionally keeps us divided. And we all know, a house divided cannot stand.
Now the really bad news: We have to face the fact that there are already enough Data Centers under construction in the US to affect the course of the next general election. There is only one way to neutralize them and that's to bring back some leveling regulation to deter those who are intentionally spreading false, political information. Off the top of my head, we could start by passing the Fairness Doctrine 2.0. But, where there is a criminal attempt to spread false information, like in Texas where they claimed that Talarico had been in a mental institution, there should be stiffer penalties to deter them, and others, from doing it again.
Frankly, I see this as a critical necessity and it should be taking all of our focus. I don't see why, in a country where you can identify a legal cause, there isn't a movement to look for legal remedies. The Supreme Court erred by turning us into second class citizens when they gave billionaires the power to buy airways and politicians. Our words and opinions have been diluted because of it. We have lost our freedom of Speech because of the conservative's malicious long game. But what we can plainly see today, is that if you can't magnify your voice, you lose your voice.
As soon as we make changes to the Supreme Court, the first order of business should involve filing lawsuits to help change the laws to control the data that is coming from those Data Centers. It would be a start in removing the power that billionaires now have to buy elections and politicians.

You mean ACTIVISITS?

After promptly releasing all the terrorists they had in custody and all but ignoring reports of others who escaped after the attempted attack on an American-used airbase, UK authorities are now admitting that the attack was almost certainly directed straight from Iran and through its most murderous terrorist division.

The same prime minister who recently reaffirmed his dedication to not restricting mass migration from Muslim countries is now pretending he is concerned that an Iranian citizen planned a terrorist attack on UK soil. “I can confirm our assessment that it is highly likely to have been coordinated in Iran, almost certainly directed by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard,” Prime Minister Andy Burnham told lawmakers, according to Stars and Stripes. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is not only the Iranian regime’s military, responsible for coordinating a global terror network, but it also massacred tens of thousands of people within Iran this year.
Democrats in New York have no interest in keeping their communities safe. After their meltdown over the weekend following an ICE-involved shooting of a criminal illegal alien with gang ties, we're learning the Big Apple and the state have rejected thousands of ICE detainers, keeping at least 16,000 illegal aliens in your neighborhood. These ICE detainers cover illegal aliens who have been accused of or committed more than 50,000 crimes.QuoteThe Department of Homeland Security said the municipalities across the Dem-driven state have refused to comply with its detainment requests 16,070 times since President Trump re-entered office fewer than two years ago — refusing to hand over criminal migrants suspected or convicted of everything from murder to kidnapping and sexual assault.
“While sanctuary politicians continue to release dangerous criminals onto their streets, our brave law enforcement officers will continue to risk their lives to arrest these heinous criminals and make America safe again. Illegal aliens have no sanctuary in America,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin told The Post.
Last week, ABC News posted something outrageous about Donald Trump’s sons. I couldn’t read the hit job in full because the outlet took the article down. From the bits and pieces, it seems ABC News got all excited over Don Jr. and Eric having major stakes in a defense company that got billions in contracts. Yes, this would be the first time ever the Pentagon and a defense contractor did business. It’s a throwback to the shoddy, nothing-burger Russian collusion bombshells that imploded in less than 24 hours.
It was a black-bag operation: no editor’s note, nothing. The article just vanished. Now the article has been reposted, but with entirely different copy, and the headline is, well, totally overhauled. The backstory is that this piece was published prematurely as reporting was being finalized. ... They posted what they wanted to say, but had to redo it once their assumptions proved to be trash. They hit post by accident, but we saw the sausage being made ... .
"What happened to my trolls?" my old social media buddy Chris Loesch asked late Tuesday night on X. "Something happen to the bot farms?"
Maybe. But only maybe.
Following a series of drone hits on Russian data centers — fascinating details below — early reports indicated that Russian propaganda bot farms had gone dark.
"Funny thing," Ohio Rob posted on Sunday, "Ukraine takes out Russian data centers and 'Zelensky' rises while 'genocide' and 'Free Palestine' drops off according to X’s Radar analytics page."
"All the rabid pro-pals [Palestinians] are very, very quiet," another poster added. "Funny that."
Russian servers playing host to Palestinian propaganda bots? Say it isn't so.
...
To keep things fair and balanced, internet security expert Lukasz Olejnik strongly disagreed, calling it a "dangerous misconception" that the bot farms were taken out. "Those bots are mostly Yandex's own search crawlers, not the info-ops social media accounts. Troll farms hide behind proxies, hijacked devices and Western clouds. They're still operating."
