White House Is Planning To Nationalize 5G Network: Report
I don't THINK so

This is not the first article from Zero Hedge that has

It might be the most blatant one though.

  • 5th generation mobile networks or 5th generation wireless systems, abbreviated 5G, are the proposed next telecommunications standards beyond the current 4G/IMT-Advanced standards

5G doesn't exist . It likely won't for some time. How can Trump nationalize something that hasn't happened yet?

How many people would know that? How many people would read the headline and assume that Trump was going to Nationalize the communication network?

Best I can remember this is NOT Venezuela. Best I can recall NOTHING has been nationalized lately (or ever) in the USA.

This is what is called

FAKE NEWS

Does this (and other articles like it) mean that Zero Hedge is part of the LameStream Media.

The Enemy?

Sort:  

It wouldn't be the first time .... 1934 Gold Reserve Act was the government stealing Gold from its people through supposedly legal means. Happened once can happen again.

You just nailed it sir, absolutely the truth

All the FUD spread about crypto is another way government stealing from the people.
South Korea news about banning crypto trade and then Indonesia. Indonesia finance minister later declared of owning 1200 BTC.

that happened under a commie dictator (FDR) during the worst economic collapse that had ever happened (which his policies made worse)

Unlike FDR, Trump is pro FreeMarket..(FDR was a fascist)...PLUS...the economy is doing GREAT.
so why would he?

Trump just recently had a government event at HIS place (guess who foots the bill) and then told all the Rich there that HE just made them ALL RICHER..... same difference.

nope..
strawman and redherring..
your logical fallacies for the day.

So this Did Not Happen??

Read it and weep... oh yeah, I forgot, "It's Fake News.." HAhahahahehehe

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2017/12/trump-celebrates-tax-bill-with-mar-a-lago-friends-you-all-just-got-a-lot-richer.html

"Trump reportedly uttered the words"

Same sources that said he used the term shithole?

" including two friends who spoke to CBS News about the remark."

I think when the news says "two sources" clear indication of lame/fake - - - - At least that is how it seems lately. have the two sources that stated President Trump use the term "shithole" stepped forward yet? has anyone else that was in that meeting stepped forward to say that he did indeed use that therm?

Conclusion when MSM uses the term "two sources" it has as much believability for me as "the devil made me do it"

maybe, but when you think how many people could have been in those closed meetings, it makes sense.

This is credited to the guy who said "it was only locker talk" when NOWHERE NEAR A LOCKER when caught on Camera saying how he grabs women by the Pxssy and attempted to seduce a married woman....
oh I forgot, that too is Fake NEWS!! haahaheeheahahehehe

I could be wrong, but Trump did not know the guy was recording anything, they were in a vehicle and talking Guy talk. Locker room talk is not restricted to locker rooms. Guys talk and brag about a lot of shit. Does not mean they do it. As far as I know not one woman complained about him grabbing them by the pussy, pinching there ass maybe, if they were so offended by his words and actions why wait 20 plus years to bitch whine moan and complain. So unless you are under 30 years old, 20 years ago you were not bragging to your buds about this or that or her or him? maybe not fake news, but LATE news OLD news, BULL news.

yeah it is..that's not what happened at all.

irrelevant.
what has it got to do with 5G?

It is an example of government doing what it wants in its best interest, not the peoples' interest. Trump is doing exactly this now, and the article title even states 'Planning' not doing.

how would the author of the article know what Trump is 'planning'?

My friends call it a Russian Rag.

I think they may be right. I've never seen an Anti-Putin or Anti-Russian article on there, ever.

I still like to check in for my dose of doomsday porn, though.

Any report which starts with -'stunning- if accurate...', automatically discounts the authenticity, and better read as such.

Poor reporting piece.

yup...
superior minds discuss ideas
average minds discuss events.
inferior minds discuss people.

I've decided that Zero Hedge is inferior.
I quite following them.

While their headline is complete click bait nonsense the story is not total BS.

They already have nationalized the airwaves as you can only broadcast in frequencies they have issued you a license for. When digital tv was becoming a thing they took spectrum back from television stations and re-auctioned new leases to it to wireless companies. Important note here is that Sprint and Verizon might own the towers but the Fed owns the frequencies.

"During World War I, the government nationalized railroads, telegraph lines and the Smith & Wesson Co. During World War II, it seized railroads, coal mines, Midwest trucking operators and many other companies including, briefly, retailer Montgomery Ward."

There have been many other times they have done it. Most recently in the mortgage industry with Freddie and Fannie.

I agree with you about the reliability of the source in general but the overall idea is not out of the realm of possibility. It has been reported on in a much more balanced way elsewhere. This link I think breaks down why it is a very real possibility being considered minus the hyperbole. It compares the possible network to the federalized highway system.

https://www.axios.com/trump-team-debates-nationalizing-5g-network-f1e92a49-60f2-4e3e-acd4-f3eb03d910ff.html

methinks they have no idea what 'nationalized' means.
hijacked word. They do that SO OFTEN.

Word abuse is unfortunately the norm in this day and age. How else could we wind up with a dictionary definition like this for the word literally:

  1. in effect; in substance; very nearly; virtually:

I've been following zerohedge for a long time and it was quickly apparent that there are whole bunch of writers for ZH. Some of them have seriously skewed perspectives for one side or the others, and some are heavily truthers, and some are obviously paid shills.... hence I just pick through the posts and read what stands out for me, and ignore the rest.
d

I've decided to just ignore them.
I rank them with WaPo, CNN and NYTimes.

Axios got its hands on PowerPoint deck and a memo, both of which were purportedly produced by a senior National Security Council official, ................during a recent meeting

Where is the powerpoint deck? and memo? When did this "meeting" take place? Who was at this meeting?

There'll be a fierce debate inside the Trump administration - - -

Who sold them a crystal ball? There may be a debate, but why would it be a "Fierce" debate?

Another expert

If they are an expert, who are they why no name?

The source said

Oh yes the ever present hidden source... is the source the expert? The national Security Council Official? or the guy with the "crystal ball?

In the memo - - -

So where is the memo?

So basically no one wants to associate their name with this supposedly news report that could change the face of America? Not-News, no real source, just a company wanting to bring their name to the forefront and get free exposure/advertising.

I concur from the Drudge Report pick list they ZH use to be, one my my first clicks and now...now so much, what I read of late (starting last Fall)- hurts my head - more and more and more. You are spot on...imo

Nice post.....
....Act was the government stealing Gold from its people through supposedly legal means.

Hey @everittdmickey sir,
I'm come here to see your potential post.
Heart broken that, It wouldn't be the first time .... 1934 Gold Reserve Act was the government stealing Gold from its people through supposedly legal means. Happened once can happen again.
great to share

ZeroHedge has fallen on its face from time to time. They do sometimes publish clickbait.
