Description
Excerpts:
I think there is a new wave of outraged skepticism building now (about MSM coverage of Occupied Palestine) very much like after 9-11 with the 9-11 Truth Movement. And at that time, it was driven by the—at that point—free, uncensored internet. You mentioned social media, but actually social media has made things worse. Prior to the rise of social media the way the internet worked was essentially people linked each other's websites and so it was all a matter of you know finding your way from link to link, website to website, and nobody was filtering it. And also people were emailing each other sources. Then the search engines came along. The search engines would just show you largely what was popular, so whatever people were looking at was what you would get on the search engines.
Once the truth movement really started rolling by maybe 2004 or 2005 and especially 2006, whatever you were Googling about 9-11, the first thing you were going to see was pro-9-11 truth material, because that's what people were interested in. And that worried the powers that be.
Cass Sunstein, who was essentially the Minister of Information for the Obama administration, wrote an article for the Harvard Law Review in I think 2008. It was published as a book in 2010 called Conspiracy Theories, Causes and Cures. And in that book, Obama's information czar said that conspiracy theories, starting with 9-11 conspiracy theories, are so dangerous that someday it might be necessary to make them illegal. But in the meantime, what the government needed to do to get a handle on them was to perform “cognitive infiltration.”
What that really meant, of course, was to infiltrate and to spread nonsense, spread crazy conspiracy theories, make sure that everybody interested in 9-11 truth sees lots of flat earth stuff on their feeds. And that wasn't very easy to do in 2008 or 2010. But as social media took over, and the powers that be got their hands on the levers of the social media feeds… The thing about social media is that on Facebook you're allowing the Zionist Mark Zuckerberg to determine what you see. On Twitter you're allowing Elon Musk to determine what you see. Maybe he has a slightly looser policy
And in all of these cases you're allowing to some extent the US government to determine what you see. We've seen the the tip of the iceberg with the twitter files and related material. So the rise of social media actually didn't help.
Now they make sure that you you'll never find the 9-11 material that used to be so easy to find. I used to be able to just find my own references, stuff I had done, on Google. Now finding myself on Google is very difficult, even though I've got one post with five million views, but I'm totally shadowbanned from Google and from essentially everyplace else. And so are a lot of other people with my kinds of views.
The point being that 9-11 truth spread because there was a free internet at that time. Today TikTok is the big driver of the truth about the genocide of Gaza, and that's why the majority of 18 to 24 year old Americans support the Palestinian resistance, which is a shocking amazing and wonderful statistic. And that's being driven primarily by TikTok which does not impose Zionist censorship and shadow banning and algorithm tweaking. All the American sites do. They can't keep a complete lid on truthful information about Gaza but they can spin the whole conversation in such a way that it covers up the the depth of (Zionist) depravity.
The hasbara trolls don't rule TikTok and the reason for that is that they're only so prominent on these other platforms because the owners of the platforms make sure that they are. If you have a platform that doesn't give the hasbara trolls special privileges, then they shrink down to the actual percentage of real human beings that support that line, which is very, very small.
