RE: Rogue News - This is NOT America.

in #freedom6 years ago

Re-steemed!

This was a tremendous discussion between a really good panel of minds.

I particularly liked the exchanges as to what to do with regards to YouTube abuses. Everyone made great points and arguments. I think Sean was stubbornly fixed to "stay" on YouTube and adamant in his reasons - mostly because of the much larger audience which is a very good reason. However, this is not a sound way to go, as the future is definitely not on this fascist platform.

A balanced approach is better whereas there is a progressive (yet aggressive) migration to other platforms. And much more needs to be do by all to attract those eyeballs to those alternative platforms. I barely ever hear any of you inviting your users to migrate elsewhere. Something to think about.

Sort:  

My own take is that we can respond to the obvious collusion in censorship across enemedia platforms by boycott. With a coordinated response that creates of propaganda platforms nothing but an echo chamber, all reasonable people will take note.

Even temporary boycotts, say every other Tuesday, would have tremendous impact and raise the alarm. I'm not comfortable with the censorship battle being fought with Alex Jones as the poster boy, since I think he's controlled opposition.

I believe his purge is exactly that: controlling the narrative using their own as the victim. We don't have to fall in line.

We are the line. We can make our stand where we want. I'm far more confident of Julian Assange than Infowars, and Wikileaks is the poster boy I want to hold up.

Thanks!

I agree with your take on Julian Assange and Wikileaks. He is obviously more valuable to the cause than Jones and most likely not controlled by anyone, as his enemies are global.

What do you think will come about with Assange? It is a "hot potato" for the UK & US and how they handle it will be key to reaction from the global masses. It will be an extremely tricky narrative for them to pull off. I think that there are very large pockets in Europe that are actually much more pro-liberty and "pro-Wikileaks" so-to-speak than in the US. In other words, they might put up more of a "resistance".

A short while back @cynthiamckinney posted an article What Can We Do to Save Julian Assange's Life?. I had answered her question by suggestion the following:

This is how:
Organize an event to get 250,000 people (including many from all around the world) to have a march all the way to the embassy and DEMAND his immediate release OR ELSE redirect these people to go to the British Parliament and CAMP THERE until it is DONE!

Didn't get any response from her though. But I do think if someone can organize such a march (which technically and legally can easily be done), it could have strong enough of an effect to get Assange in the clear. Problem is, there is no one (including organizations) of clout willing to organize such a march; and it really boggles my mind why nobody is spearheading this!

Regardless of what unfolds, Assange will go down in history as one of the greats.

I also have advocated boots on the ground to extract JA from his predicament, as an initial step towards securing his person. I am incompetent to predict what will happen in his case.

I hope he lives to fight another day, because his fight is mine, and yours. We need effective allies, and he has proven his worth.

Thanks!
