Book bans, unintended consequences and mainstream media
Reality is often upsetting

Censorship and challenging of library books in Western nations have risen sharply, driven by organized political campaigns targeting LGBTQIA+ themes, race, and geopolitical conflicts.

* "Bondi library removes book How to Sell a Genocide from shelves after complaint."
“..It makes some people upset is unfortunate, but reality is often upsetting. This particular reality is especially upsetting … to the parents of the over 20,000 children killed by Israel in Gaza since October 2023. Do Sydney officials plan on removing pro-Israel books from their libraries because it potentially upsets these community members?” >>

* Book censorship?
That is when the 'the Streisand effect' kicks in: "It is the phenomenon in which an attempt to hide, remove, or censor information results in the unintended consequence of the effort instead increasing public awareness of the information." (wikipedia)

* Here is the banned book:
How to Sell a Genocide
The Media’s Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza, By Adam H. Johnson >>

Nothing says "I hate fascism" quite like laughing when a politician loses their seat for opposing genocide 🤡

It turns the democratic process into a mechanism for state-sponsored slaughter, and the audience? They're just there for the show

"Politicians opposing genocide losing elections is treated as comedy and payback by people who think #Trump is fascist & the #Holocaust was evil"

The Washington Post under Jeff Bezos is a pro-oligarchy propaganda broadsheet. Consider the rant against Graham Platner, Maine Senate candidate. They described him as a "socialist" with a Nazi tattoo. Yes, that makes sense.

Meanwhile, their favorite Mussolini impersonator in the WH, introduced global tariffs that have upended the world economy, started illegal wars, kidnapped a foreign leader, and defends genocidal fascists.

"Unverified protest death toll estimates have been widely circulated, preparing public opinion for military intervention and downplaying the genocide in Gaza."

Violence gives Trump exactly what he wants: pretext. A blank check for repression, surveillance and total control. It does not threaten his power. It authorizes it. Do not take the bait! #StateViolence #ManufacturedConsent #AuthoritarianPlaybook #ReichstagFire #PassiveResistance

War in Venezuela, Brought to You By the Same People Who Lied Us Into Iraq

Washington is making big claims to make the case for U.S. intervention. We’ve heard all these arguments before.

So it's not going to be a "fire", but a "war" started by Israel, that Donald Hitler uses as his tool for taking full control?

I look at US resistance celebrating the Tesla take down awaiting the default of twitter loans and all I can think of is that Musk has already switched from the Tesla meme stock to his AI grok meme stock to secure the loan.

His AI may achieve more w/ all the government data the rest of US based AI can not. It needs to be seen, if Musk can do what Mercer accomplished with Cambridge Analytica. I have my doubts.

And because of this it is all the more important to have a diverse media/journalism landscape and transparencies of allegiance and a commitment to facts and clarification of when/what is an opinion.

#Terrorism is a tactic used in Assymetrical Warfare

Every world leader knows how it works & why, bc Franz Fanon explained it decades ago

World leaders pretend they DON'T know they're doing exactly what guerrilla forces want them to do bc it's a mega revenue stream for #Military contractors/donors AND it gins up the patriotic masses

How to manufacture consent

https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/d3df2700-0c4d-453e-9e94-2e4023f295e9

@QasimRashid Trump wants war with Iran, that's why. To get the public sentiment onboard with going to war with Iran, those in power sow hate and division. That way, when they initiate war with Iran they have the public onside... even if that means members of the public personally get conscripted to fight or even if that means escalating to WW3 with Iran + Russia + China. That's where this is intentionally heading to, #ww3 and the muslim hate is #manufacturedconsent

"AI offers two things, more exploitation and a veneer of objectivity" - the accountability sink.

Old by today's internet standards, but still gold. Reminds me of the "Line goes up" video on crypto that circulated a couple years ago.

I've studied #journalism and what now is happening (worldwide, not only .nl) is completely the opposite what journalists were trained for. What is going on!? I'm not a conspiracy person, but why does that happen all at once? Why exactly days after the re-election of #Trump? Why while Israel is finishing their ethnic cleansing of North-Gaza? Is this all related or just by accident? I don't know what to think anymore. Only that the capitalist #media overlords are completely claiming their influence now and that many journalists are complicit in this road to an authoritarian clusterfuck!
