What A Liar!

Recently, Mark Zuckerberg said the following:

Zuckerberg: "We're going to get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with community notes, similar to X."

Well, he speaks with a lying forked tongue. This morning, I posted an email from Zac Fort of the New Mexico Shooting Sports Association at the Facebook Page, Patriots Unite. It was approved by the page's administrator. It was about upcoming gun control legislation at Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Then, I get a notice that it was removed as it supposedly "violated" Facebook Community Standards on spam. 

Here's the notice:

Immediately, I filed a protest on this. 

It also has been shared at X. No problems have arisen there on the posting. 

When it comes to Facebook and Zuckerberg, as I said before, "I have to see it to believe it!"

I have To See It To Believe It!

 

The tide is turning.
Free speech is becoming cool again. https://t.co/BcFwiqI1K7

Democrats Seek To Abolish The First Amendment

The Democrats and their media and social media toadies (think Mark Zuckerberg) have been hell-bent on censoring or "fact-checking" viewpoints contrary to theirs.

They are not even trying to hide it.

They are determined to undermine or, perhaps, destroy the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.  

The Washington Examiner has posted an article on how the radical Left is seeking to abolish the First Amendment.

It begins with:

When a political movement’s only guiding principle is an insatiable lust for power, the free exchange of ideas becomes public enemy No. 1. It should come as no surprise that the party that booed God at its national convention and has largely replaced faith with the perverse worship of the state feels that the ends always justify the means.

From author Fran Lebowitz suggesting that President Joe Biden should dissolve the Supreme Court to regime journalists openly calling for the destruction of the U.S. Constitution, Democrats have become increasingly comfortable with publicly displaying their radicalism. In their minds, the enemy is not poverty, inflation, or threats by foreign enemies but freedom itself. As the Left attempts to remake America into a totalitarian, multicultural nightmare, the first two amendments to the Constitution are the only bulwarks standing in its way.

Democrats have been thoroughly defeated on the Second Amendment front. A majority of people can now legally defend their families without a permission slip from the state, and the tens of millions of AR-15, AR-10, and AK-47-style rifles in civilian hands all but guarantee that the gun confiscation plans of authoritarian Democrats are doomed to fail. 

For a variety of reasons, the First Amendment is more difficult to defend. The public has grown accustomed to censorship by the state. Democrats successfully used a coordinated, unconstitutional censorship campaign to win the 2020 presidential election, and they view the continued perversion of the First Amendment, or its outright elimination, as the path forward toward achieving their communistic goals. 

It is imperative that the voters must vote out of office as many radical Democrats as they can and defeat Kamala Harris this November.

Meta's Ongoing Election Interference

 A few minutes ago, I spotted this interesting post by Judicial Watch over at X:

.@TomFitton: @Meta is censoring Kamala Harris's support for the communist Marxist confiscation of private property, specifically the patents owned by Americans. They're pretending it needs context. It doesn't. Despite apologies for prior election interference, Zuckerberg's Meta… pic.twitter.com/2TiRa9ssa1

Thank you, Meta and Facebook, you've just proved my point!

 

Zuckerberg Admits To Being Part of Censorship Scheme

Above, Mark Zuckerberg. Image by Fox News.

This is one of those things where I can easily say, "I'm not at all surprised." 

A "little late and with phony contrition," Zuckerberg admits that Facebook was a part of the Biden-Harris censorship scheme. This was after Rep. Jim Jordan's House Judiciary Committee forced Zuckerberg to release documents.

Fox News Opinion (Jonathan Turley) wrote this:

"I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it." Those words from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg came this week with an admission in a letter that his company, Facebook, did yield to pressure from the Biden-Harris administration to censor American citizens on a wide array of subjects.

For those of us who have criticized Facebook for years for its role in the massive censorship system, Zuckerberg's belated contrition was more insulting than inspiring. It had all of the genuine regret as a stalker found hiding under the bed of a victim.

Zuckerberg's sudden regret only came after his company fought for years to conceal the evidence of its work with the government to censor opposing views. Zuckerberg was finally compelled to release the documents by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and the House Judiciary Committee.

Facebook Ridiculousness

Facebook is getting very ridiculous!

I just posted about next week's Nassau, Bahamas weather for next week on my blog and I shared it on my Facebook account. A friend and I are going to take a cruise there next week.

Within minutes, they removed it saying it violated their rules on spam. I then requested a review. It isn't selling anything, it is just talking about the weather forecast for an upcoming trip.

This is one of many such acts Facebook had taken against my posts. They are getting ridiculous. If it weren't for all of my photos and my means of contacting family and friends, I'd leave Facebook. 

The insanity continues at Facebook! The First Amendment doesn't exist there.

New Mexico Sues Zuckerberg's Meta Over Child Predator Activity

Above, Mark Zuckerberg. By Anthony Quintano from Westminster, United States.

The state of New Mexico is suing Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram for allegedly not shielding children from predators.

Attorney General Raúl Torrez is not one of my favorites in this state, but if the allegations are correct, kudos to him.

The Piñon Post reported:

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez has unveiled a lawsuit against Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta, alleging that Facebook and Instagram are exposing children to explicit content and facilitating the activities of child predators. In a press release, AG Torrez stated, “Our investigation into Meta’s social media platforms demonstrates that they are not safe spaces for children but rather prime locations for predators to trade child pornography and solicit minors for sex.”

Torrez, a career prosecutor specializing in internet crimes against children, emphasized his commitment to using every available tool to halt these disturbing practices and hold companies accountable when prioritizing profits over children’s safety. The attorney general disclosed that an undercover investigation of Meta’s platforms was conducted over several months, involving the creation of decoy accounts for children aged 14 and younger.

The lawsuit outlines troubling findings, accusing Meta of proactively directing sexually explicit content to underage users, enabling adults to contact and pressure minors for explicit imagery, recommending participation in unmoderated Facebook groups facilitating commercial sex, and allowing the sharing and selling of a vast volume of child pornography.

Despite assurances to Congress and the public, Torrez alleges that Meta’s executives, including Mark Zuckerberg, are aware of the harm their products pose to young users and have failed to implement sufficient changes. The complaint asserts that Meta fails to remove Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) across its platforms and facilitates the solicitation of underage users for illicit content and participation in commercial sex.ng of a vast volume of child pornography.

Ex-CIA Agent Promoted to Meta/Facebook’s “Head of Election Policies”

If you thought that Mark Zuckerberg and company at Facebook/Meta will treat conservatives fairly in 2024 the elections, you'd best put that silly notion out of your head.

Zuckerberg and company has promoted an ex-CIA goon to "Head of Elections Policies". In other words, he will be in charge of censorship at Facebook.

From the Gateway Pundit:

As the Big-Tech censorship apparatus in social media continues to roll on at full steam ahead of the 2024 Election, a former 17-year veteran of the CIA, Aaron Berman, has reportedly been promoted to the “Head of Elections Policies” for Meta/Facebook.  Berman was a “Senior Analytic Manager (and various positions)” for the CIA from March 2002 thru July 2019.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, infamously donated $440 million to the CTCL and other non-profits, including ERIC-founder David Becker’s CEIR to help “supplement” elections during COVID.  This money disproportionately went to Democrat strongholds, especially in the key swing states.

Facebook/Meta was also one of the social media platforms mentioned by the “Election Integrity Partnership” (EIP) and Stanford Internet Observatory in a report, which promoted the censoring of hundreds of thousands of posts and conservative voices from discussing events that occurred around the highly-suspect 2020 Election.  The report published by the EIP, titled “The Long Fuse”, laid out, among other things, how the government and election officials could use the EI-ISAC as a “singular conduit” for reporting ‘misinformation’ to social media platforms in an attempt to subvert the First Amendment protections of US citizens against government censorship.

Ironically, as mentioned in the article below from The Gateway Pundit, the EI-ISAC, a subsidiary of the Center for Internet Security (CIS), was also engaged in “securing” elections at the county level through the Dept. of Homeland Security.  DHS offered free security services to county election jurisdictions, many of which accepted the offer.

The release of the Twitter Files revealed a plethora of former government bureaucrats, many of them former intel agency employees, that transitioned to leadership roles within the social media companies and were often responsible for the censoring of the respective platform’s users.  In continuing with that trend, Berman, who was previously the “senior product policy manager for misinformation” at Meta, has reportedly been promoted to the “Head of Elections Policies.”

FBI Counter Intelligence, Seth Rich and Twitter Files

It will be interesting when the House GOP begins their investigation on the involvement of the FBI and CIA in the 2020 elections. In the meantime, Twitter Files are shedding some light on DNC, FBI and CIA collusion during the election campaign.

Hopefully, there will be people jailed for this.

Before proceeding further, here's little refresher on the late Seth Rich.

From Wikipedia:

The murder of Seth Rich occurred on July 10, 2016, at 4:20 a.m. in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Rich died about an hour and a half after being shot twice in the back. The perpetrators were never apprehended; police suspected he had been the victim of an attempted robbery.

The 27-year-old Rich was an employee of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and his murder spawned several right-wing conspiracy theories,

Maybe those "right wing" conspiracy folks weren't too off the mark.

From the Gateway Pundit:

The stunning revelations from the Twitter files thanks to the work of Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger and Bari Weiss is providing irrefutable proof that the FBI was working to prevent the election of Donald Trump. When it comes to “Election Interference,” it was the FBI, not Russia.

The results released so far detail FBI giving direction to Twitter regarding the 2020 Presidential Campaign. I believe future releases will provide evidence that the FBI, along with the CIA, was working to destroy Donald Trump and prevent him from being elected.

One thing we know with certainty is that the FBI’s Washington Field Office was communicating via email and phone with the FBI Counter Intelligence division at FBI Headquarters about Seth Rich. The only reason the FBI Counter Intelligence division would be involved in any way with an alleged case of a routine murder following an attempted robbery of Seth Rich is because there was foreign involvement. The FBI is trying to bury that fact.

Why is the FBI stonewalling so furiously to keep its communications about Seth Rich and the alleged hack of the DNC by Russia secret? Because Russia did not hack the DNC. This is not my opinion. It is a conclusion of several cyber security professionals that flows from one very specific, easily tested claim made by the discredited Special Counsel, Robert Mueller –- i.e., that Guccifer 2.0 was a fictional identity created by Russian Military Intelligence, aka the GRU. If the GRU had concocted Guccifer 2.0, then the forensic evidence should show that this entity was operating from Russia or under the direct control of entities linked to the GRU.

One type of forensic evidence is meta data. What is meta data? This is geek shorthand to describe physical information or code that is written into a document created by a word processor software when a document is created. This data includes a variety of things, such as the date and time the document was created or modified. It tells you who created the document.

An examination of the Guccifer 2.0 documents  shows that the meta data in the Guccifer 2.0 documents were manipulated deliberately to plant Russian fignerprints. This was not an accident nor an oversight due to carelessness by some computer operator.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller is correct in stating that Guccifer 2.0 was a “fictious online persona. ” But he is wrong to claim that Guccifer 2.0 was a creation of the  Russian Military Intelligence. Guccifer 2.0 appears to be a creation of the CIA and was one character in a broader scheme assembled to paint Donald Trump as a lackey of Vladimir Putin.

In view of the aforementioned, it is interesting that Mark Zuckerberg named his company Meta.

Meta Platforms, Inc., doing business as Meta and formerly named Facebook, Inc., and TheFacebook, Inc., is an American multinational technology conglomerate based in Menlo Park, California. The company owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, among other products and services.

It will be interesting to see if all this leads right to Zuckerberg's doorstep.

Instagram Slapped With Fine of 405 Million Euros

Instagram, owned by Meta Platforms, Inc., has been slapped with a whopping 405 million euros fine ($403 million) by the Irish Data Protection Commission. 

Meta Platforms owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, among other products and services.

According to Epoch Times:

Meta-owned Instagram has been fined 405 million euros ($403 million) by the Irish Data Protection Commission after it was found that the platform violated European privacy law General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

In 2020, the Irish Data Protection Commission kicked off an investigation into Instagram because the platform made accounts of children between the ages of 13 and 17 public by default. Instagram allowed children to set up business accounts on the platform, making their phone numbers and email addresses public.

A spokesperson for the commission confirmed to Reuters that its final decision imposed a fine of 405 million euros on the Meta-owned platform. More details on the matter will only be published next week.

This is the second-highest fine imposed under the GDPR rules after Amazon was fined a record 746 million euros ($743 million) by Luxembourg’s data protection authority in July last year.

I would guess that Mr. Zuckerberg isn't a happy camper today.

RV Travel and Facebook (Or Is it Meta?)

Above, Mark Zuckerberg. Wikipedia photo by Anthony Quintano.

Earlier this month, RV Travel conducted a survey of its readers on their feelings about Facebook.

The question was, “Do you wish Facebook would go away and never come back?” 

The response of over 3,000 RV Travel responding readers was a resounding one. Those who responded with, "Yes, absolutely" was 77% and those who responded to "No, I want it to stay" was 23%,

While this was interesting, an follow-up article posted today by Chuck Woodbury was also interesting.

In it, he gave a little history of Facebook's origins.

Here's some snippets:

Facebook is gone. It’s changed it company name to Meta. No kidding! The website will remain known as Facebook and continue to live at Facebook.com.

The new corporate name is “a move to embrace the metaverse” according to the website GamesBeat. So what does that mean? Let me clarify: The metaverse is “an alternate reality that lives online. . . . a platform or series of platforms that share interoperable code to enable individuals to carry their online identities and (more importantly) their purchases from one experience to the next.”

Got that?

OK, YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND. I don’t either, as in I don’t have a clue! But I am pretty sure what it means is that it’s a sneaky way for Mark Zuckerberg to learn more about you so he can extract more money from your wallet, your bank accounts and your children’s college funds. The poor guy is only worth $70 billion dollars. How does a guy get by on that?

And, to think Zuckerberg started Facebook as a way for Harvard guys to rate “hot” (and not so “hot”) Harvard girls, and then it grew to become a major force in wiping out thousands of newspapers and other periodicals by allowing foreign governments and any semi-literate human to post fake stories and information, and in the process promote anger and turn everybody against their family members and neighbors because they didn’t buy “hook, line and sinker” into their favorite cockeyed, wacko, unproven conspiracy theory.

Interesting, isn't it? Or, as Mr. Spock used to say, "Fascinating!"

12 More Hours To Go

Well, according to Facebook, I am supposed to be out of "Facebook Jail" in twelve hours from now.

The whole thing was ridiculous anyway. They were very vague on the reason I was put on restriction (something about 2019 violations) in the first place. 

Turn New Mexico Red 2020 Facebook Page Disabled

Administrator Audrey Trujillo has posted an announcement that the Facebook page, Turn New Mexico Red 2020 has been disabled by Facebook. She posted the above graphic.

This is a large conservative political group page (over 20,000 members) and Audrey said that no explanation was given on what specific post or posts didn't adhere to Facebook's "community standards". Talk about cowardly actions in disabling a page with no explanation.

This is just another example of the censoring of conservative opinion by the Left. "Community standards"? Meaning: not following leftist/liberal dogma?

First, Facebook blocked Gary Julian's The Federalist blog and now they do this.
