Back in 2016 my mom asked me to test online censorship by looking up Hillary Clinton on Google versus Bing. Bing was relatively "free" back then. The difference was stark, on Bing they mentioned all of the Hillary dirt, on Google, you'd think she was an American hero.
Duck Duck Go which many conservatives like as an alternative to Google was very up front about censoring news about Ukraine. That was when I dropped them.
I can't find any evidence of that. If you have such. I would appreciate it if you would share. They seem to be pretty vigorous competitors in the private search market. When the Brave browser was new, they defaulted TO DDG instead of Google but then developed their own.
Hillary and LBJ are/were alcoholics, exhibiting alcoholism-fueled egomania. They are the most dangerous kind: all horrific despots in history, from Stalin to the Kim's, are/were alcohol or other-drug addicts.
You started this conversation. Then I went to lengths to answer your questions, but you cut out on me. No response. Though I had replied to you immediately. Tells me something, Doug.
Trimpey thinks it's about willpower, as Ayn Rand would likely have thought. No. It's a different biochemistry: alcoholics process the drug differently than do non-addicts.
Trimpey does not understand alcoholism.
BTW, I love Ayn Rand. But she was an amphetamine addict. Just look at her personal life, and her pupil size on a Reason Magazine cover years ago.
The term "sociopaths" is not really correct. There are Psychopaths at the very pinnacle of the Cluster-B disorders, then down the line you have Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Borderline and Histrionic.
NONE of the search engines can be relied on. Some are worse than others.
Remember the images of Kamala Harris being greeted by an incredible number of people at a Detroit airport? Claims were made the images were AI generated- fake, not real.
If you want to find out about it and do a search, 90% of the results are about Trump- he's a liar for what he said about the images. Close to 0% are about whether the images are real or not. You can try this yourself.
For clarity, I'm commenting here on how the search results refocus the inquiry, not on the truth or falsity of Harris's crowd size that day.
My opinion- as is often the case with the media, there's a little bit of truth in all of that. Yes, Harris had a big crowd at the airport to greet her. At the same time, some of the images were doctored to exaggerate the reality. I have reasons for thinking that, but will save that discussion for another day.
The last time I remember war correspondents was the beginning of the Desert Shield when the CNN dudes were there in a hotel and cowering under desks when the F-117A's were bombing Iraq and the Iraqi's were firing the anti-aircraft rounds up like a fire works show. Show me 1 minute of a war correspondent in the Ukraine/Russia conflict.
I've wondered about that. Same for Gaza. I have seen nearly no on site reporting. The death counts are, "As reported by Hamas". Are they accurate? Who knows? And they include the death of Hamas soldiers, which is the POINT of the Israel invasion. Think about it: What do you even think you know about what ground is being taken, and how effectively Israel is taking out Hamas soldiers? I have absolutely no idea. I have seen no reporting.
“For if you keep silent at this time, liberation and rescue will arise for the Jews from another place, and you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows if you’ve come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” Book of Esther verse 4.
Thanks for the reminder about the Rogan show. I want to listen to the whole three hours.
I did see the clip where Andreeseen talked about being briefed by the Biden folks about their plan to control the AI space, and the Biden people intending on limiting AI to just a few companies tightly under their control. My guess is that the deep state was already working on this secretly during the first Trump administration, with no intention whatsoever of letting Trump in on what they were doing. We need to drain the swamp.
“briefed by the Biden folks about their plan to control the AI space“
Elon is very much aware of this and has many times said that this is specifically why he started his “x.AI” which will be committed to curiosity and truth rather than Woke ideology. For whatever reason, AI sails past most like water off a duck’s back. This is already upon us though and by far the most astonishing event in the history of the human race and we are already very much in an AI war of theirs vs ours. People need to start paying attention to this.
“Elon Musk Thinks This Is The Only Way To Move Forward With AI Because It’s Coming No Matter What.” (1 min)
They have probably been working on it since the first Bush administration. The IC always knew the potential of the thing and they had been working on shaping narratives since the Cold War began. The internet exploded so fast that they were playing catch up in the early years but once they figured out that their ideological brethren were in charge of the corporations driving the expansion, the light went on.
We are on the cusp of a monumental paradigm shift…we’re moving slowly, but inexorably from “the government is a friend and will take care of us” to “the government is not a friend and must be controlled.”
I suspect everyone who has experienced this enlightenment has come upon their epiphany in different ways…for me it was the Hunter Biden laptop, for others it was Parler, and for many more it was social media outlets banning the President of the United States from using their platforms.
Whatever it was that precipitated the awakening, it was at the same time, profound and permanent…the bell can never be un-rung!
Our Founders always knew the Government would always be our potential worst enemy and greatest threat to our Freedoms. Thus, they were inspired to write the miraculous Constitution, of which every joy and title m of it is purposely designed to RESTRAIN GOVERNMENT!
Talk about Divine Providence.
We have dodged a massive bullet this election by the mercy of God. Let’s not blow it. MAGA: Restoring the Constitution and the Rule of Law!!
No, the Federalist Constitution greatly expanded the powers of the federal government, at the expense of the states, and this was a great controversy at the time - read my contemporaneous cite and this: https://streamfortyseven.substack.com/p/the-original-constitution-of-the. It's nearly impossible to get my comments in here, this is the fourth attempt on this one, it seems there's a bit of censorship going on here...
The Substack platform seems to have cut down the area for comments that are posted as replies to other comments. You can get just a few lines in there now. Any more than that, and when you hit the reply button, it does not work. You would think that Substack wants to limit thinking and literacy here.
For me, it started when HW carelessly, cynically, and callously committed troops to Somalia intending to hang an albatross around the neck of the incoming Clinton administration.
It became complete w/ W's occupation first of Afghanistan, then Iraq.
The financial crisis only confirmed my worst suspicions.
Well...I was born seeing this. Literally. Since my earliest years, of what I can remember, I was a canary in the coalmine. Calling out the discrepancies of what I later recognized as creeping totalitarianism. Despite having grown up in the Neo-Marxist "progressive liberalism", I always cried foul on it. I am an educated woman who was never a feminist.
It always surprises me how many people seem really unconcerned about the censorship thing. The left doesn't even really try to deny it any more, they just call it 'mis' or 'dis' information and so many people are OK with it.
Notice that there was never such a thing as "hate speech" until recent times. There were crimes, and there was normal life where most people said something now and again that someone else claimed to be offended by. But that was just life.
Now we have a whole inane category supposedly, known as "hate speech". Although -- oddest thing -- it never applies to Pro-Hamas or BLM thugs.
I listened to all 3 hours and had to slow the podcast to 0.8 because Marc talks so fast and there was a lot to digest! (Joe sounded drunk at that speed— ha.)
I am so amazed by the journey you have made. It's so rare to go from the Left to the Right, and while I did so as well, I was never part of the system like you were. Your insights and writing are excellent. We are lucky to have you challenging people to see the world with fresh eyes. Thank you, and keep educating everyone
There is also a category of people who never succumbed to the insanities of the Left. Despite living amidst it. Insights from this group are worth their weight in gold. More so than from those who were Left and then eventually converted. Or so they said.
Several of the converters used this change-in-mind to launch careers, as in "Drama! I Used to be a Leftie!" and I have wondered about their overall motivations.
I can recall reading an article years ago by a former women's magazine writer whose job it had been to push feminism and abortion and the sexual revolution. When that career grew stale and stopped selling, she claimed to be a convert away from the leftwing -- her eyes had been opened! -- and so her new writing career was now worked from that angle.
There are several such writers/media types out there. Michael Cohen, Melanie Phillips, Michael Shellenberger, Josh Slocum come to mind, just for starters.
I am not as familiar with her work. I know that she was/is a journalist who resigned from the NYT, and now claims to write "honestly".
Could it be that she saw a market for journalism opening up for the centrist folks, and moved to grab it? Stake a claim? You do need to be cynical at times, in this old world. Which is why I question everything.
Honeypot traps are surely as old as mankind. Because we all want to be able to trust those we become emotionally involved with. Though most adults with any amount of experience know that it just is not always so.
"Though most adults with any amount of experience know that it just is not always so." Yes, agreed. Of course not always. But when inconsistencies hit, one has the moral obligation not to go into denial, and to start watching more consciously. Bari Weiss currently looks to me like an opportunist. I'd be more impressed if her constant bleating about of the importance of press freedom was coupled with a website which was far more dedicated to opposed-view conversations, no matter how difficult.
I listened to the entire 3+ hours. Just horrified. I knew about the debanking of Trump way back & also the truckers in Canada but I had no idea of all the others & the sheer POWER of the government as Marc described. It’s just unbelievable. Thank God for Trumps win otherwise we know exactly where we were headed. I know the fight isn’t over but now we have a chance to turn things around. And we also know that the left never has to say they’re sorry & they never will. I would also recommend reading Absurdastan by Elizabeth Nickson posted today. Nailed it.
Another former long-time leftie was Melanie Phillips, who came to her senses and wrote the excellent Londonistan book in 2006. However, by the era of COVID Mania, she had mind-snapped again, and fallen down into the WOKE world once more.
Then there is Josh Slocum (he does a podcast) who made a big falderal about regaining a life and perspective beyond hardcore WOKE, which apparently controlled him for years; mutual love affair it was. But now, Josh tends to smear and cancel people just like the virulent left-wingers. So perhaps he has fallen back into the mind-pit.
I'm so happy ya saw the light, & I really enjoy your commentary. There's a great four years ahead, but don't get discouraged when the progress to undo all of Bidumb's antiAmerican nonsense takes a long, long, time. The "progressive" gang will blame if all on DJT's fascist tendencies, but take heart, fewer people than ever will buy into their rhetoric.
I watched the 8 minute video clip posted by Elon Musk of a small portion of the Marc Andreessen interview and was horrified - and yet not surprised. George Orwell's 1984 is the playbook for the Establishment. But I don't recall anything so sinister as debanking in George Orwell's 1984 book. I plan to listen to the entire interview and at least sharing the 8 minute clip that Elon Musk posted.
Today, as I drove through PA Amish country, I thought about the feds raiding Amos Millers Amish organic farm. This election, the Amish voted and voted for Trump. The Amish have had enough of the government overreach and authoritarianism from the Left. Other raw milk farmers have been raided by the Feds.
Sasha, Thank you for all the sacrifices you've made to speak out against this authoritarian Establishment. I'm grateful to Elon Musk for buying Twitter (X) and releasing the Twitter Files.
Well the problem with the Amish is the PA Dept of Ag. They're the ones that raided Miller. Robert Barnes has covered this extensively and it is still in court.
George Orwell's "1984" was a fictionalized account of what was already going on in totalitarian eastern Europe of the late 1940s.
So many people seem to think that the author had a crystal ball, and was foreseeing the future. Not so. He was describing totalitarianism in his present.
Great interview! I saw this earlier. A black lady raises hell at the school for the teacher indoctrinating the kids. I loved seeing it because I firmly believe this does NOT happen prior to the last 6 months. It’s a sign we are turning the corner.
The one thing that grabbed me when Trump got shot at once, and another shooter was rolled up before it could happen again, was this: nobody, but nobody was screaming for gun control. As far as I’m concerned that tells me all I need to know.
Why? Dems are currently led by totalitarians, who are, in fact and as you know, completely against actual democracy and equality. No matter how blurry I suppose it might look from the POV of a libertarian.

Duck Duck Go which many conservatives like as an alternative to Google was very up front about censoring news about Ukraine. That was when I dropped them.
I noticed that too. But where do we go now for search?
I am using Brave search with the Brave browser.
Thanks
Brave and duck duck go are the same company
I can't find any evidence of that. If you have such. I would appreciate it if you would share. They seem to be pretty vigorous competitors in the private search market. When the Brave browser was new, they defaulted TO DDG instead of Google but then developed their own.
Same.
me too. I, also, had DD Go until Ukraine.
Brave as well. Mojeek is cumbersome but thus far, seems unbiased.
I consider her a bona fide Psychopath.
LBJ was a Psychopath too. As well as Henry Kissinger.
Hillary and LBJ are/were alcoholics, exhibiting alcoholism-fueled egomania. They are the most dangerous kind: all horrific despots in history, from Stalin to the Kim's, are/were alcohol or other-drug addicts.
I cannot explain Kissinger.
Read my work, A. Hell, I'll even send you my books.
I suspect that what you have in mind is to get me to read and review them for you, gratis.
No....I don't think so.
You started this conversation. Then I went to lengths to answer your questions, but you cut out on me. No response. Though I had replied to you immediately. Tells me something, Doug.
Alcoholics anonymous describes the main problem with alcoholics is self centeredness
Trimpey thinks it's about willpower, as Ayn Rand would likely have thought. No. It's a different biochemistry: alcoholics process the drug differently than do non-addicts.

BTW, I love Ayn Rand. But she was an amphetamine addict. Just look at her personal life, and her pupil size on a Reason Magazine cover years ago.
You are wrong about Jack Trimpey's work. It is excellent.
No, they are merely sociopaths.
The term "sociopaths" is not really correct. There are Psychopaths at the very pinnacle of the Cluster-B disorders, then down the line you have Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Borderline and Histrionic.
No sociopathy. That was a fabricated term.
I'm no expert, although I've taken a few psychology courses in college.
I looked up both psychopath and sociopath. It seems that they both apply to Hilary. But psychopath might indeed be the more accurate term.
Can we agree that she is at least one of those, if not both?
I consider Hillary a Psychopath, so no argument there.
They are alcoholics first. Get them sober and within three months the odds are 70% they will no longer be diagnosed as having a personality disorder.
NONE of the search engines can be relied on. Some are worse than others.

I couldn't agree more. Like the Jeremy Camp song, she was born for Days Like These.

Well the problem with the Amish is the PA Dept of Ag. They're the ones that raided Miller. Robert Barnes has covered this extensively and it is still in court.
I visit relatives and shop in Amish stores every other week. They’re fantastic people.
The Amish came to North Carolina to build tiny houses for the desperate. FEMA let them do so, then stepped in to declare they weren’t built to code.
So, now it’s freezing and the desperate are still subsisting in tents.

This should be reported EVERYWHERE!
The last ten years I taught (retired 2015), I BEGGED parents to step in and demand change. I got so tired of seeing their blank stares.
The one thing that grabbed me when Trump got shot at once, and another shooter was rolled up before it could happen again, was this: nobody, but nobody was screaming for gun control. As far as I’m concerned that tells me all I need to know.
Sasha Stone does it again…I’ve followed Marc Andreessen for years, his political insight is always remarkable & worth paying close attention too.
Thankfully Trump was elected President, unfortunately we have a RINO Senate! Pray they understand Trump has a mandate from the American people.
RINOs are worse than Dems.
Why? Dems are currently led by totalitarians, who are, in fact and as you know, completely against actual democracy and equality. No matter how blurry I suppose it might look from the POV of a libertarian.
