The very foundation of the free Internet is under severe threat from copyright laws that could ban independent media outlets, according to Matt Drudge. “I had a Supreme Court Justice tell me it’s over for me,” said Drudge, warning web users that they were being pushed “pawn-like” into the cyber “ghettos” of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
“Reclusive” Drudge says he has not had a photo taken in 8 years
During an appearance on the Alex Jones Show, Drudge asserted that copyright laws which prevent websites from even linking to news stories were being advanced.
“I had a Supreme Court Justice tell me it’s over for me,” said Drudge. “They’ve got the votes now to enforce copyright law, you’re out of there. They’re going to make it so you can’t even use headlines.”
“To have a Supreme Court Justice say to me it’s over, they’ve got the votes, which means time is limited,” he added, noting that a day was coming when simply operating an independent website could be outlawed.
“That will end (it) for me – fine – I’ve had a hell of a run,” said Drudge, adding that web users were being pushed into the cyber “ghettos” of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
“This is ghetto, this is corporate, they’re taking your energy and you’re getting nothing in return – nothing!”
Watch the full interview below…
Drudge warned that social media giants like Twitter and Facebook were swallowing up content and strangling the organic growth of independent Internet news platforms. Automated news aggregators like Google News also came under fire.
“Google News – hello anybody? The idiots reading that crap think there is actually a human there – there is no human there – you are being programmed to being automated even up to your news….a same corporate glaze over everything,” said Drudge.
“Stop operating in their playground, stop it,” said Drudge, asserting that people were being confined by what the likes of Facebook and Twitter defined as the Internet as a result of this “corporate makeover” of the web.
“I’m just warning this country that yes, don’t get into this false sense that you are an individual when you’re on Facebook, no you’re not, you’re a pawn in their scheme,” concluded Drudge.
BINGO!
I don’t use any of that shit. Facebook,Twitter, Pintrest. Fuck them all. If the NSA wants to know shit about me, they will have to work for it. albeit, not that hard…
Lucky for TPTB, people like me who value independence, freedom, justice and all that other crazy bullshit, will just simply die off soon. Then know one will remember what it was like to not be spied on, tracked, poked and prodded by the State.
I fear they will win just by attrition…
Winston.. it matters little what social media you connect with … if no linking to copyrighted material is outlawed, all alt.net news sources; bloggers..TBP included, will be outlawed, and only state pawned propaganda will be allowed…the Ministry of Truth writ large.
Without the ability to disseminate information concerning the evil that is the growth of totalitarian government , the liberty movement grows dark …forever..
“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.”
― George Orwell, 1984
Are they going to outlaw creating your OWN content?
Well if you believe the bible it says we will have a satanic ruler Who rules over a satanic totalitarian police state.No one can buy or sale anything without the Mark of the Beast.This includes you Winston. So you are already being watched and listened to.God knows the number of hairs on your head.I’m sure Satan is pretty good at counting to.Nowhere to run ,nowhere to hide Winston. ha ha
Wip – Are they going to outlaw creating your OWN content?
No as long a it’s positively fun and skippy, but discussing pressing issues concerning the encroachment of authoritarian statism on your personal rights and liberties will be extremely difficult if one isn’t allowed the link to the source of the issue…there will be credibility issues for starters and lack of credible info is the stock and trade of an increasingly corrupt Federal government.
Every USG propagated lie that has been exposed has been via the diligent work of networked bloggers who ferreted out the half-truths and false leads by comparing stories though linking…if that tool is taken away the liberty movement and the dissemination of truth will suffer greatly.And that is the real reason the USG is moving to ban linking.
Maybe it’s time to dust off the Fido, fax machines and shortwaves again.
They were great in their time, maybe their time is coming again.
Wonder if Archie and Veronica are still around?
While I still have TBP to say this…….Admin I am glad to know you. Not many guys left with balls to let it really be free.
Flash- I guess c/p and posting links is on the way out on the net also, you would have to take it to the streets. TBP community would turn FB and twitter into a war zone before they were banned.
Interesting that Matt Drudge did this on a CIA tool’s show like Alex Jones.

Never listened to the fedora wearing nitwit anyway….
BUT, take Googles Android OS and Winblows 10, it is all geared toward putting your data on their servers, this is, IMO, driven by corporate interests that will monetize that data who have also signed “Non Disclosure” agreements with goobermint.
i listened to matt, for me it was a patrick henry moment, fuck em. i like to believe i came to the same point a number of years back
Bea Lever -Interesting that Matt Drudge did this on a CIA tool’s show like Alex Jones.
Thanks for the heads up….I’ll wear my tin foil hat if perchance I’m ever tempted to peruse Alex Jone’s “controlled opposition” site
Flash- That was a compliment to you above. You believe in what you are cheerleading for and you should have the right to post said c/p with links in a free society. Fight the good fight until you can’t.
BL, thanks for the compliment .I am aware that the USG put out disinformations as do every other national government pawned media source…and that is why bloggers are the last defense.
There’s more National Enquirer to Matt Drudge than there is ‘original thought’. Drudge is nowhere near a journalist, nor is he so important that a member of SCOTUS would reveal any hidden agendas in the near future. Drudge is a collector of story locations, nothing more. He has an aggregate website, a site of nothing more than links with a few stats.
As for copyright infringement, any blogger who republishes someone else’s work deserves to be charged with word-theft. WordPress was very guilty of pushing this kind of ‘rebundling’ thievery — they called it “Press This” and bloggers would lift an article from elsewhere and submit it on their own blog.
I ran a very popular blog but after having so many of my original pieces were lifted and rebundled for profit elsewhere, I made the blog “private”.
Drudge aside, who has time for “social media” anyway, if you’re doing anything worthwhile with your life?
What little I know of it seems like just a bunch of nonsense.
I.C.,
If your words are so rare and precious that you don’t want them copied, there’s a simple solution: don’t publish them. Nothing personal, it’s just that intellectual property is an oxymoron.
@Anonymous (one of multitudes)
I never said, nor implied, that my ‘words are so rare and precious’. The point is, a blog that is not-for-profit whatsoever should not be thieved or ‘recaptured’ elsewhere for profit, especially without the express approval of the original author.
Many people believe that Matt Drudge is a member of the Zionist controlled opposition. Alex Jones is for certain.
However, Drudge is correct regarding his statement that the independent media blogger (and the alternative journalism that has become the last venue for legitimate news reporting) are being
infiltrated and subverted in the interest of destroying what little is left of truthful journalism.
What we are witnessing is the covert implementation of a global dictatorship under Rothschild Zionist rule, where the citizenry are subjected to a signals intelligence driven system of mind control that is carried out through the air, allowing for the interfacing of Artificial Intelligence computers with the neural pathways of our brains.
The NSA’s Signals Intelligence EMF Scanning Network is evidence of this Orwellian attack on the human mind, and its application in class warfare, as the Zionist elite impose this high tech prison system on the global middle class without the knowledge.
They say that Satan operates through the air. The NSA is a Satanic organization which operates through the air, by using the electromagnetic spectrum to implement this Orwellian system of enslavement.
The NSA’s Signals Intelligence EMF Scanning Network can instantly identify any American citizen,
by remotely scanning the electromagnetic spectrum for the unique EMF brainwave map of that citizen.
How is this accomplished? Through a secretly implemented Signals Intelligence EMF Fingerprinting program that the NSA orchestrated in the early years following World War II.
In all probability, the hospitals in the United States were infiltrated by NSA personnel who developed a system for collecting basic bioelectric information from the body of each child born
in American hospitals (EEG brainwave print and EKG heartbeat print) , which was then sent to the NSA and included in a file created on that child.
This system was first directed at the Generation X (Baby Boomers) population of children, and has
since been used on every subsequent generation to ensure that the NSA maintains bioelectric information on every American citizen.
This enables the NSA to instantly identify any American citizen by scanning the electromagnetic spectrum for the unique EMF fields produced by our own bodies, which an NSA AI computer can then lock onto.
From then on the person is subjected to an electromagnetic form of imprisonment which enables the NSA to remotely read and manipulate their thoughts, to experiment upon that person, or even kill them with a directed energy weapon.
All countries use similar Signals Intelligence EMF Scanning Networks to remotely monitor their
populations without the knowledge or consent of these populations.
Which countries were the first to use this technology against their own citizens? All NATO countries, which implemented these programs after World War II had ended.
Since that time all countries use the same type of electromagnetic system to secretly enslave their own citizens.
Google: John St. Clair Akwei VS The United States National Security Agency, the first lawsuit filed against the NSA to expose this Satanic organization’s Signals Intelligence EMF Scanning Network.
