While they might click right past “very bad” Fox News and skip school when it comes to Talk Radio, many, if not most “news” consumers are quite satisfied that by diversifying their “portfolio” to include CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, PBS (on the television.) Some of these might even take an occasional dreamy ride on the waves of NPR’s cool, soothing, if not hypnotic tone while others turn to Comedy Central to have their opinions delivered via a more honest form of joking.
The exceptionally gifted among lefties will plod through the pages of “news” that was formerly delivered to their front porch and that ultimately served as tool for house training their pets.
Holocaust Denier NYTimes also replaced reporting of the Holodomor with propaganda served directly to them from their Soviet accomplices. Today they are home to some of the most vile of hate propagandists that made their first impressions on Twitter.
This category of “informed citizenry” is kept “in the know,” and “filled in,” to their best discernment, well enough to share the resultant quality of opinions online and, when it was still possible, the old fashioned social gatherings.

The first and most important point that must be made is that there is more to the story that’s unfolding than what anyone should expect to be presented on CNN and other accomplices to the CCP and their Democrat allies.
The next is that simply deferring to “experts” is not much of a plan when experts disagree with one another and some are proven to work in tight alliance with nefarious interests that are proven to prioritize population control over the safety and saving of human lives.
This Dr. Eric Nepute eloquently warns of the clear dishonesty and alarmism by media and allies and demonstrates how these exacerbate the challenges we face together as a nation.
So-called “fact checkers” are hard at work to suppress the variety of doctor’s opinion presented above, and effort will be made to link to alternates once the above content is removed for “violating” a clear policy against any opinion that challenges the single message being promoted by Chinese Communists, their global cabal accomplices and the main stream Mockingbird Media.

It was easy to overlook the subtle political aspects of Disney’s Frozen and get lost in the spectacular music, imagery, and storytelling of our first adventure with Elsa, Anna, Olaf and the other amusing and dynamic characters.
Once I realized there would be a sequel, I had no doubt I’d get around to giving it a watch whether at a rare theater outing or in the splendid 4k 65″ splendor in my small but cosy living room.
The first musical number nearly had an 11 year old son bailing out, and I was finding myself less impressed with the musical compositions that brought the newest chapter to life in Frozen 2. But then things began to pick up and become interesting as we’re carried out into a the village and forrest in a quest to find some profound but hidden truth about Arundel’s past.
The rest of this review requires some plot reveals, so if you prefer to watch without spoilers, please go no further until after watching the movie.

The popular San Francisco favorite, KSFO 560 AM’s morning show, has long brought levity to the daily navigation through congestion, potholes, human feces, homeless tents, syringes, crime, and road rage that collectively characterize a typical Bay Area commute. This high power station recruited all the sensible voices away from their old KGO 810 home and corralled them into what was then branded as “Conservative Talk.”
KGO never bothered to rebrand their leftovers as “Liberal Talk,” but a simple adjustment of the dial helped preserve some radio sanity for a large but less noisy segment of the greater Silicon Valley population that helps make California’s one of the world’s leading economies.
ABC Disney’s ownership of KSFO, however, still makes its mark as sensible talk radio receives routine interruptions of severely leftward bent hourly “news” announcements and at odd intervals leftist “experts” like CNN’s own Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN’s Chief Medical Consultant, chime in with wild misdirection under the brand of “healthier living.”
Jim Harrison, a former firefighter and truck driver was to be named 2019’s “Citizen of the Year” by Nipomo, California’s Chamber of Commerce for numerous community service works. Jim organized a number of events to bring his community closer together and was also recognized for outstanding conservation efforts in both community cleanup and preservation of riding trails.
He also held a position as Planning Commissioner for San Luis Obispo County where he extended his good efforts well beyond the limits of Nipomo. However off the beaten path of California politics his own thriving community, it did not take long for the announcement of his honors to catch the attention of some of California’s worst and most subversive NGO’s who went right to work to sift through Mr. Harrison’s social media history of the markers of a counterrevolutionary.
Ultimately some really “outrageous” memes were discovered. Per NBC’s news they were “inflammatory” and apparently included an accurate depiction of House Speaker nancy Pelosi as a Nazi!
A pattern of abuse by the vile thought police at Facebook has resulted in several time-outs! And during the imposed “social distancing” most are enduring today, imposing a suspension of connecting to friends on social media that prohibits even personal messaging*, is particularly cruel and irresponsible.
I personally used, celebrated and promoted Facebook since I made the trade of personal information for what was promised to be a “better internet” in 2007. I encountered zero problems with the platform from then and through most of 2016. So a perfectly great experience for a full decade. And then, immediately after an election went the “wrong way,” the campaign of targeted harassment began.
At first, a 24 hour suspension over some minor business that I’ve frankly forgotten. Then 72 hours. Then a week. And subsequently over a full year of suspension of the three years that followed. Most over comments or memes that only a lunatic could construe as “violation” of anything.
The details for each installment in a campaign of harassment by Facebook are presented here in reverse chronological order.
EPISODE 32 – MID JANUARY 2023
After having shared a meme demonstrating vulgarity publicly shared all over social media by a particularly low IQ politician as part of a reelection campaign into a private group thread, the tag was immediately and apparently automatically flagged and removed for “sexual activity.” Somehow this offense resulted in a six day suspension.
EPISODE 31 – SEPTEMBER 15, 2022
After enjoying most of a recent trip to Central Europe with access to FB, I managed to preserve my use up until a fateful posting of a meme featuring Eric Swalwell. The meme featured an image of a woman sitting down across from Swalwell expressing concern for his gun grabber threats. His answer to, “you know I’m a gun owner,” was “you know we have nukes, right!” was a rather precise representation of his actual words. So somehow, this meme was characterized as some “incitement” or “threat of violence.” If that’s how they grade Swalwell’s own statement simply being called out by the meme, should the corrupt Congressman be the one put in jail for it?
Behold the meme that earned a full 30 days of separation from friends, family and other contacts for a “violation” of the Communist Standards.Continue reading “Social Media Gulags: #FBJAIL”

The Catholic Church was well known as a powerhouse of Christian Charity long before Mother Theresa achieved Sainthood for her own strenuous efforts in the offer of hospice and healing to the poor.
Importantly the giving done by Catholic Charities were both voluntary, and mindful of the manner in which charitable expenditures were received. Special care was taken to accompany the gift economy of meals, shelter, and healthcare with an offer of spiritual healing that might help recipients find themselves on more solid footing. This comprehensive expression of caring would, in turn, enable some to perform their own good works for others once they’re back on their feet.
Obviously the facts inform that Ciarmella has established a reputation for blowing a LOT of whistles when he’s not personally attending to Schiff’s Schaft!
But even more interesting is the audacity of Facebook to actively block any reporting of the facts as a “violation of community standards.”
Whereas the censorship is amazingly brash, at least they don’t appear to be attaching the “violation” to any penalty box time in their “Facebook Jail.”
So interesting that Snowden who gave up a job, a wonderful life in Hawaii and even a girlfriend to deliver an important message, and what “whistleblower protections” did the left ever whine about then? None. Now a vile deep state rodent that leaks confidential information via hearsay and the proves completely false must be “protected” all the way to anonymity.
I still remember very well when I received a phone call from a friend of mine who was stuck at an airport and unable to make a business trip due to all flights being grounded at the airport where he was stuck in Park City Utah.

Just when I was starting to believe that Twitter’s campaign of censorship to target conservative speech couldn’t get much worse, I was shocked to find that sensible advice on how to “Protect Our Elections,” is now a “violation,” per an expanded “Terms of Service” that now forbids “misleading” Tweets that concern “voting” or “elections.”
