Journalist Lara Logan on Monday told a U.S. Senate roundtable, “We live in the age of information warfare” aided by advanced technology, and “we have never been here, not in all of human history.”
Government, mainstream media and nonprofits are part of a “vast censorship network” that suppresses non-establishment perspectives on COVID-19 and a wide range of other topics, according to participants at Monday’s Senate roundtable discussion on “Federal Health Agencies and the COVID Cartel.”
The roundtable, hosted by Sen. Ron Johnson, also focused on vaccine safety and corruption of public health agencies.
Other experts who participated in the roundtable discussed how the news media have become propagandized and warned that media-supported propaganda will lead to a totalitarian society.
‘Vast censorship network’ includes government, nonprofits
Journalist Lara Logan, formerly of CBS News, told the panel of experts, “These are the worst of times for the media in this country” and warned that we are engaged in a “war for our minds.”
“We live in the age of information warfare, where propaganda is not simply a weapon, it is the entire field of battle,” she said. “This is a war for our minds that is aided by advanced technology, and we have never been here, not in all of human history.”
Logan said:
“The media is collaborating with government agencies and operatives to censor and shape the information battlefield to justify certain actions. For example, when the president of the United States threatens the unvaccinated, saying ‘Our patience is wearing thin,’ and accuses them of putting communities at risk, his words are designed to justify hatred, censorship and intimidation.”
According to Logan, a network of nonprofit organizations whose purpose is to stifle free speech is contributing to information warfare:
“For too long we have allowed nonprofit organizations to masquerade as nonpartisan media watchdogs, when in fact they are a little more than highly paid political propagandists and assassins whose entire reason for being is to crush anyone who stands in their way and along with them, the long-held and cherished ideas of free speech, free thinking and free minds.”
These groups “are part of a vast censorship network that includes government agencies,” Logan said. “They use deception to mask their actions with lofty goals like ‘preventing the spread of misinformation, disinformation [and] hate speech.’ They use phrases like ‘protecting democracy.’”
Logan cited “Defeat Disinfo,” a nonprofit that “claims to be a PAC [political action committee]” and was established to target alleged “misinformation” related to COVID-19 and to support Biden’s presidential campaign in 2020.
According to a May 2020 report by The Washington Post, Defeat Disinfo was headed by retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who formerly led U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
Defeat Disinfo “is planning to deploy technology originally developed to counter Islamic State propaganda in service of a domestic political goal — to combat online efforts to promote President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic,” the Post reported.
“It’s not a secret that these organizations exist,” Logan said, addressing Johnson. “What is not widely known and talked about is that it’s paid for by us. It’s paid for by the taxpayers in your omnibus spending bills that get shoved through the House and the Senate, against the will of the people.”
Logan said these congressional spending bills contain “cutouts for these NGOs,” (nongovernmental organizations) which “launder this money, they pass it from one NGO to the next, and in the name of ‘preventing the spread of disinformation,’ they censor, silence, intimidate and punish.”
Logan called such initiatives “a death sentence for journalists.”
“It’s how you murder a journalist without killing them,” she said. “It’s how you murder a scientist without killing them. It’s how you murder a doctor without killing them. It’s how you murder the vaccine injured when they haven’t died yet.”
She added:
“This is a blood sport for them, their political allies and their puppetmasters. They know how to kill a journalist without murdering them. We call it ‘cancel culture’ … They get away with it because they have information dominance.”
Reporters ‘colluding with their sponsors’ to violate drug advertising laws
Journalist Rodney Palmer had a 20-year career with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), but as the COVID-19 pandemic progressed, he increasingly began to question the narrative promoted by the network and other mainstream news outlets.
Palmer participated in the Canadian Freedom Convoy in February 2022.
Speaking at the roundtable, Palmer focused on censorship in television news, which he called “a new super weapon aimed at the citizens of this country.”
Referring to COVID-19 vaccine deaths and injuries, Palmer said, “Censorship is what actually caused these deaths. It was the lie that assured us it was ‘safe’ when it wasn’t … The lie killed them as much as the vaccine because it tricked [people] into taking it.”
Palmer said that this situation is further exacerbated in the U.S., which is one of a small number of countries that allows Big Pharma advertising on television.
“The vaccine companies are allowed to sponsor the news directly,” he said. “It appears that the reporters are actually colluding with their sponsors to break FDA [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] advertising laws. FDA law requires them to conspicuously describe the known risks of any pharmaceutical product.”
Palmer proposed the prohibition of Big Pharma advertising. He said:
“I respectfully recommend that the Senate investigate the role of American television news networks in colluding with pharmaceutical advertisers to skirt the FDA laws that require them to declare the known risks of a pharmaceutical product. This investigation should extend to any reporters, news anchors, editors and executives who lied to their audience about the safety of the COVID vaccines.
“I also recommend investigating the total prohibition of pharmaceutical advertising on television in alignment with almost every country in the world.”
Modern censorship ‘weaponized’ to ‘hijack’ the human mind
Jason Christoff is a self-sabotage coach who produces and hosts “The Psychology of Freedom” podcast. During Monday’s roundtable, he said that “what looks like censorship is the documented hijacking of the subconscious mind pathway.”
This is one of the primary objectives of modern censorship, according to Christoff.
“Humans are proven to copy, mimic, emulate and mirror the most repetitive content of their environment as a way to find safety with the bigger group and to achieve increased security,” Christoff said. Modern censorship targets this human trait.
“Modern censorship isn’t just about hiding the truth or creating spin for one political agenda or another,” he said. “Modern censorship is part and parcel of hijacking the genetic group pressure mechanisms and group affiliation software which all humans hold within each cell in their bodies.”
He added:
“He who controls the environment in which a human resides controls the perceptions, beliefs and behaviors of that human. Modern censorship today is clearly about upregulating disempowering negative content and turning down empowering positive content.
“Today’s censorship is weaponized to define and create an inverted and extremely dark reality inside which no human can ever be happy, healthy or prosperous.”
Responding to Johnson’s question about who is responsible for “pulling the strings on this,” Christoff said he “couldn’t say for sure, but they’re well above government.”
Censorship leading to a ‘fully-fledged totalitarian system’
Mattias Desmet, Ph.D., is a lecturer of psychoanalytic psychotherapy at Ghent University in Belgium, who became widely known for popularizing the phrase “mass formation” to describe the public’s response to COVID-19 restrictions and countermeasures early during the pandemic.
During Monday’s roundtable, he said his focus was not so much on “what they [governments] were hiding” but “how it was possible that so many people refuse to see what they were hiding.”
Desmet cited widely used narratives in 2020 and 2021 that overstated COVID-19 mortality rates “by a factor of 10” and that continued to be employed even after it became evident mortality rates were being inflated.
“The story continued as if the models had been right,” Desmet said. “That, for me, was the moment when I decided to take the perspective of a mass psychologist and to try to show the people what psychological mechanisms could explain how an entire society was in the grip of a narrative which was utterly absurd.”
Desmet said his research led him to conclude that “we were witnessing … the emergence of a fully-fledged totalitarian system in our society” and said its effects on the population were akin to a “hypnotic state.”
He said:
“You need two things for a totalitarian system. On the one hand, you need an elite that excessively and relentlessly uses propaganda to keep control over the population. And then you need a part of the population, 20-30% usually, to go along with that propaganda and to buy fanatically into the narrative.”
“We’ve seen, I think, both components of a totalitarian system in this crisis,” he added.
Desmet said society’s emphasis on “rationalism” rather than ethical principles, which he said is “conveyed by people like [author] Yuval Noah Harari,” has paved the way for transhumanism, technocracy and totalitarianism.
“It always starts from the idea that on the basis of rational knowledge, a new paradise will be created,” he said. “Such rationalism in the end always lapses into radical irrationality, and that’s what we are seeing now.”
‘Appealing to the mob’s fear’ seen as ‘politically beneficial’
Several participants at Monday’s roundtable shared examples of censorship and propaganda that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Del Bigtree, CEO of the Informed Consent Action Network, referred to a recent study published in the journal Vaccine, claiming that there were increased risks of several serious adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination, but that these conditions are very rare and the benefits of vaccination still outweigh the risks.
According to Bigtree, mainstream media jumped on this narrative.
“But what does rare actually mean?” Bigtree asked. Citing the study’s findings, he said this includes a 378% increased risk of brain and spinal cord swelling, a 286% increased risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome and sixfold increases in myocarditis and pericarditis.
“The question no one in the media seems to be asking is, if each of these potential injuries is rare, is it still rare [when] you add them all together?” Bigtree asked. “Further still, how high is the risk when you multiply all of these risks by five doses of the COVID vaccine? Are we still in the ballpark of ‘rare’?”
Randy Hillier, formerly a member of the provincial parliament of Ontario, said his first-hand experience during the COVID-19 pandemic revealed that politicians “knew from extensive daily polling that appealing to the mob’s fear was politically beneficial.”
However, he said that four staffers close to Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford privately confided in him that they “feared the long-term damage would be horrendous to themselves, to their families and the province.” Yet, they rejected his advice to be truthful with the public, claiming that “the truth could not be told.”
Gastroenterologist Dr. Sabine Hazan told the panel that her research on hydroxychloroquine was censored, because “the media created fear.”
“It was impossible to recruit [to clinical trials],” she said, adding that her clinical trial companies were “banned and censored from advertising” on social media.
“It is nearly impossible to publish data that goes against the national public health narrative,” she said. “If doctors cannot publish the data, they cannot find solutions.”
Journalists also were targeted, Logan said. “For almost a decade, I have been targeted and falsely branded and accused of many things that I did not do. They have attacked my work, my character, my sanity, and my marriage, and I am not alone.”
Swiss lawyer Philipp Kruse told the panel the World Health Organization’s (WHO) proposed “pandemic agreement” and amendments to the International Health Regulations will scale up such censorship globally.
According to Kruse, these proposals will grant the WHO “the global supreme authority to define truth and science and to eliminate free speech and free exchange of information under the title of ‘misinformation.’”
Christoff said, “The solution will revolve around each and every citizen taking their own personal power back within their own home, becoming ethical, becoming moral.”
Logan said the same is true for journalists.
“We as journalists should stand together united and regardless of politics,” Logan said. “We should fight for the truth [and] for freedom … We are many and we will not give up and we will not give in to those who wish to censor the idea of free speech.”

“This is a war for our minds that is aided by advanced technology, and we have never been here, not in all of human history.”
Yes it is a war, and they are pissed that we can simply talk to each other and ask questions when they make their claims.
That the establishment has been caught gaslighting the public throughout history precludes any latitude bring extended now.
Yes, however you don’t always know who you are talking to on the internet and they change their name and tone in order to disguise themselves. But it’s much more complex than that. The technology now can actually isolate you to sort out your beliefs and thoughts on a separate site where you are the only real person and all of the other names are chatbots or other interrogation technology and you aren’t really influencing anybody at all by what you say. You are simply giving away your own beliefs and being categorized for future prosecution by a rapidly changing system as our nation is taken over by foreign entities.
Yeah.
But if the pope shoots heroin into a choirboy, before eating his calzone, how come the price of tea in China isn’t affected? Huh?
Got no answers for this huh?
It’s been going on a long time. I just saw these on Gab. Haven’t fully vetted it, but have seen some previously. Does this seem reasonable?
___________
the basic gestalt is that the entire titanic sinking was a hoax made by the jew glownigger bankers and their families to make a ton of cash from the insurance and the movies around the faked event.
>Titanic was insured by the same company that insured the Hindenburg AND WTC on 9/11 (also MH17, MH370)
>as with the WTC/HB they paid out without investigation
>the exact! coordinates to the Titanic wreck are NOT public (you would need to ask James Cameron)
>Jew media had the story already prepared and pushed it way too early
>the water in April is 15 degrees celsius in that region (member icy lips DiCaprio? that was bullshit)
>Icebergs were NEVER spotted again in that region where she allegedly sunk
>wreck footage was filmed in a studio that explains why there are NO fishes seen anywhere
>the wreck was literally found by a monkey (((they))) are fucking with us)
>now they say they found a bacterium on the titanic that eats the steel away so the wreck will vanish in 10 years
>this bacterium was only found to eat on the titanic wreck (sure Moshe)
>according to the story Guggenheim a Billionaire jew refused to enter an empty Lifeboat (46 places were free) and instead sunk with the ship and let his wife escape with the money, hello? nigger are you awake?
>(((Jacob))) Astor also rich billionaire gigajew industrialist allegedly sinks with the ship, his life insurance is paid out (he only faked it same as Guggenkike)
>Titanic ship was moved to Germany where it was rebuild, mothballed and then sold to the US after WW1 and it became the USS Imperator
It’s called 100 years of silt.
From Mathis:
What got me in here was skimming the Wiki page. That is usually enough to get me going. I noticed
several things almost instantly. One, this famous maiden voyage of the world’s most famous ship was
strangely underbooked. The ship was at a little over half capacity, so it reminds us immediately of the
planes that were said to have crashed on 911. They were also about half empty. The Titanic could take
2,453 passengers, but only 1,317 were allegedly onboard. That’s 53.7% capacity. Also a red flag is the
mainstream’s pathetic attempt to explain this anomaly: there was a coal strike in the UK that spring,
causing many crossings to be canceled. But wait, wouldn’t that make this uncanceled voyage even
more dear? They should have had thousands of people on stand-by lists, shouldn’t they?—people who
had had their other ship canceled and needed to get across the pond? In fact, that is part of the story in
other places.
Another problem is that the mainstream math fails, to this day. They tell us 1,317 passengers were
onboard, but 2,224 total were onboard (passengers and crew), with 1,500 dying. If we subtract, that means there was a crew of 907 onboard for 1,317 passengers—so almost every passenger had his own
personal crewman? That despite the fact that 709 of the passengers were allegedly in third class, and
shouldn’t have expected much service. Only 324 were in first class. So, as I said, the numbers don’t
add up. You will see what I mean if you include one other fact: many of those in first class were
already traveling with their own servants, so they didn’t need service from a crew, except for food
service. For instance, we are told Astor and his wife were traveling with their private valet and two
lady’s maids.

Thanks for that.
there were shenanigans about it, but all the stuff about icebergs and sea temperatures is so wrong it discredits anyone saying it
The boats were switched. It ain’t the Titanic down there!
lol… clearly this author is not a student of history. The masses of people have been totally deceived by ruling factions since creation, but now, thanks to the internet , we’re able to expose their lies and it is driving the evil ones insane, which is why they are pushing so hard for censorship and absolute control of the narrative.
Virtuous and Godly people quickly recognize evil Satanic people and the opposite is also true. And both immediately adopt a combat posture out of habit. A servant of the devil, like Jeff Epstein, Chuck Schumer or any other can just walk into a room, take one look and hear one sentence and he immediately knows what liberties to take and what lies he can get away with telling. When dealing with a judge in court, the devils servants immediately know whether they can be bribed, whether they are sympathetic to the devils causes and whether to get another judge. Likewise, a servant of the most high God immediately knows what he’s dealing with when he comes into contact with a servant of the devil. A virtuous person might not say anything about it at the time, but he knows what he is dealing with and immediately prepares accordingly.
The same cannot be said of the vast majority of people in between. The servants of the Lord want people to be wary and on guard for Satan and his servants. But the servants of the devil want everyone to be neutral and non judgmental so that they can continue to do the devils work without being challenged.
And now enters electronic media. When you can no longer see a person’s Chuck Schumer face, tattoos, pink hair, the smell of smoke or alcohol, their attitude, who they are watching, how they carry themselves, how they dress and all the rest as it is on the internet, now you only have words and responses to identify whether a person is a servant of God or a servant of the devil. Again, you have the servants of God vs. those who are dedicated to serving the devil at both extremes and then you have the vast majority of people in between who are lost and on their way to hell, but they aren’t especially dedicated or diligent in their service of the devil. Often those are more dangerous to freedom than an all out atheist because they are enablers of tyranny and lies through ignorance and compliance on a wholesale scale. But on the internet, some one can say they are one thing to lead you into a conversation of lies believing that they are good or at least lending some degree of credence to the Bible, when in fact they don’t advocate what the Bible says at all and they are just using some commonly known scriptures that are used out of context like the devil tried when Jesus was tempted 40 days in the wilderness.
so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

Oh man, the browser results that are presented on a search of his name. It reveals “the thermonuclear JeШ”! Obviously, he was right.
Speaking of propaganda and censorship… you won’t believe what Justin is trying to do here:
