America Faces No Greater Threat Than Joe Biden and the Democrat Party. Their Assault to Our Borders Is As Great As Their Assault to Free Speech and Free Elections

IS JOE BIDEN'S PROPAGANDA MINISTER NEO-FASCIST MARK ZUCKERBERG CENSORING AMERICA FOR JOE'S BANKSTER REGIME?
Facebook is censoring information about the election
Twitter has been more heavy-handed than Facebook when it comes to censoring ideas and information from the conservative side of the spectrum, but don't think for a minute that Facebook isn't involved. Just today, I grabbed screenshots of Facebook going after a video showing ES&S machines transferring vote ratios between precincts in Philadelphia.
Today, when I made one of my rare visits to Facebook, this was the first thing I saw:
As is clear from the image above, the linked Rumble page (which was posted on November 20) has the title "Smoking Gun: ES&S Transferring Vote Ratios between Precincts in PA." However, Facebook loudly announces that this is "False Information" that's been "checked by independent fact-checkers." And what does the "fact check" say? "Philadelphia does not use Dominion Voting Systems technology."
The link is to a November 22 AP article by Ali Swenson, who I'm absolutely certain is a 10th-grade "mean girl" who got a gig at the AP because someone owes her daddy a favor. Okay, that's probably not who she really is, but that's how she writes.
What's fascinating is the depth of Ali's debunking. To borrow what Democrats used to say about Ronald Reagan, you can wade through Ali's deepest thoughts without getting your ankles wet.
Ali's attack consists almost entirely of saying Philadelphia doesn't use Dominion Voting Systems. That's a meritorious claim, and, indeed, if you go to the Rumble video, you'll see that Edward Solomon, who posted the video, must originally have referred to Philadelphia and Dominion. Thus, he has appended an "Update: The voting system was not Dominion but ES&S," and he makes clear that he's talking about Pennsylvania. In addition, his lengthy discussion about the video's contents repeatedly refers to ES&S and Pennsylvania.
Although I'm assuming here, my bet is that Edward Solomon corrected the Rumble page very soon after Ali's article came out. Nevertheless, the geniuses at Facebook still accuse the page of having "False Information." I'm also assuming that dozens of people have informed Facebook that the error is gone but that Facebook's opaque communication pages are even worse than usual. Nothing will change.
But to get back to Ali. Having pointed out an easily remediable error, one would think she would get to the video's substance and debunk that, detail by detail. After all, the video claims that studying the New York Times feed for Pennsylvania reveals that ES&S was milking votes from Trump and giving them to Biden or to an inevitably losing third party. The third party was necessary to make the transfers to Biden less obvious. This is, as Solomon said, a smoking gun.
So, what's Ali's analysis, which presumably justifies claiming the video is false long after Solomon made the correction? This:
Election security experts concur that there's no evidence such fraudulent activities occurred — a broad coalition of top government and election industry officials released a statement on Nov. 12 saying the Nov. 3 election was the "most secure in American history."
That's it. "Experts" and "top government and election industry officials" want everyone to know that they did not do anything wrong.
At City Journal, James B. Miegs wrote a much quoted article entitled "The Chump Effect: Progressive policies penalize those who play by the rules and shower benefits on those who don't." Miegs's focus is the Democrats' plan is to suck taxes from those who skipped college, saved for it, went to less prestigious schools, or worked to pay off their debt to erase debt held by people who spent $300,000 for a Womyn's or Queer Studies degree.
Another aspect of this "chump effect" is seen with this election, with Democrats and their fellow leftist travelers expecting us to believe that Biden won this election. "Trust us," they say. "A corrupt, incoherent, doddering old fool who couldn't get 12 people to a rally, got over 80 million votes, including winning more black votes than Obama in 2008, even though Trump increased his share of black votes by 50%."
That same "you're a chump" approach was clear in Jack Dorsey's and Mark Zuckerberg's recent testimony in Congress. First, a reminder about the men who control most communication in America:
These are not normal people. Second, as you may recall, Dorsey and Zuckerberg weren't even trying. They had no information and no honesty. They effectively sneered at United States senators, saying without getting specific that senators are powerless chumps compared to our new tech masters.
Whether on Facebook, on Twitter, or in the Senate, these people think you're stupid, and they're no longer trying to hide it. If we bow down to them, they will be proven correct.
Facebook Suppressed Breitbart, Promoted CNN, Following Election
Immediately following the November 2020 Election, Facebook suppressed what it considers “hyperpartisan” news pages, including Breitbart News, while promoting what it considers “authoritative” news pages such as CNN, according to the New York Times.
As reported by the Times, Facebook did this buy adjusting its secret “quality score” for publishers to promote certain publishers and to downrank others on the Facebook news feed, the mix of news items and posts from friends and other accounts that greets users when they log on to the platform.
Facebook employees reportedly:
…proposed an emergency change to the site’s news feed algorithm, which helps determine what more than two billion people see every day. It involved emphasizing the importance of what Facebook calls “news ecosystem quality” scores, or N.E.Q., a secret internal ranking it assigns to news publishers based on signals about the quality of their journalism.
Typically, N.E.Q. scores play a minor role in determining what appears on users’ feeds. But several days after the election, Mr. Zuckerberg agreed to increase the weight that Facebook’s algorithm gave to N.E.Q. scores to make sure authoritative news appeared more prominently, said three people with knowledge of the decision, who were not authorized to discuss internal deliberations.
The pretext, according to the Times, was the spread of “election-related misinformation” in the days after the election. However, incredibly, the suppression was not apparently based on post-election content published. The move was tantamount to what in a legal First Amendment context would be considered an illegal prior restraint of speech.
On a call with reporters, a Facebook executive said the change was temporary, although they did not indicate for how long.
According to the Times’ report, some Facebook employees want the suppression of Breitbart News to become permanent. The employees reportedly asked for the “nicer news feed,” one suppressing Breitbart News and boosting CNN, to be the new normal — regardless of how the site’s users react.
Guy Rosen, a Facebook executive who oversees the integrity division that is in charge of cleaning up the platform, said on a call with reporters last week that the changes were always meant to be temporary. “There has never been a plan to make these permanent,” he said. John Hegeman, who oversees the news feed, said in an interview that while Facebook might roll back these experiments, it would study and learn from them.
Breitbart News has reached out to Facebook for comment.
