PHILIP A. FARRUGGIO—One must surmise that any ‘thinking’ citizen of ancient Rome probably felt as this writer does concerning my Amerika, the Empire. Perpetual wars, invasions, occupations and colonization of foreign lands either were greeted with a cheerleading feeling , or with apathy or perhaps with sadness.

THE UNION OF CONCERNED SCIENTISTS: SILENT ON 9/11
14 minutes readBILL WILLERS—In 2011, Scientists for 9/11 Truth sent a letter to Dr. Francesca Grifo, Director of the Scientific Integrity Program of the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), along with information and materials countering the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) account of the destruction of World Trade Center Building 7 (WTC7). The scientists requested UCS attention to the issue. The letter, shown below (without signatories listed), was signed by 42 scientists from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Poland, Sweden, Australia, Denmark, France, Germany and South Africa.

Twitter Suspends Accounts For Propaganda, Has Literal Propagandist As High-Level Executive
18 minutes readCAITLIN JOHNSTONE—This is just one more item on the ever-growing mountain of evidence that these giant, immensely influential social media platforms we’ve all been herded into are nothing other than state propaganda for the digital age.

CAITLIN JOHNSTONE—Establishment loyalists write smear pieces about me because they can’t get me fired since I’m crowd-funded and can’t get me deplatformed since I don’t have any platform beyond blogging and social media. Their only shot, then, is to circulate material making the general public suspicious of me so that nobody will read what I write. That doesn’t really work either, though; the most prominent lefty outlet in America spent all of last July throwing smear pieces at me and it didn’t even slow me down. My leftist haters are out of ammo, and my centrist and right-wing haters only help me.

Documents Show The FBI Is Targeting Financial Institutions, Credit Reporting Agencies, And Universities With NSLs
13 minutes readGODFREE ROBERTS—Thanks to some modifications to NSLs by the USA Freedom Act, we’re finally seeing recipients posting NSLs they’ve received. NSLs used to come with “forever” gag orders, preventing recipients from discussing them, much less posting the documents themselves. The new law, along with a decision from the DC Circuit Court, requires the FBI to periodically review its NSLs and decide whether the gag orders are still justified.
