The George Soros-funded leftist propaganda outlet Media Matters is reportedly moving to buy Alex Jones’s InfoWars.
The courts recently ordered a forced sell-off of InfoWars to pay off huge legal debts after Jones and his outlet were thrashed with waves of lawsuits.
A Texas judge ruled the outlet could be liquidated to pay the families of the victims of the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Texas and Connecticut courts ruled that Jones must pay the families $1.5 billion in damages for reporting on theories that the shooting was staged.
I still don't understand why Jones is being fined anything at all. Do we have free speech or don't we?
“Covid” became the Great Event of Our Times between January and March 2020, meaning that the world’s best and brightest have now had almost five years to prove their academic or scientific importance.
If a faculty meeting like this occurred at any college, the colleges’ public relations staffers didn’t send out a press release. (Note: The names are made up.)
Dean of College School X (Let’s call him John): “Esteemed colleagues, as you all know, a killer respiratory virus is said to be spreading throughout the world and the public is counting on us to tell them the truth about this virus and how society should respond to it.”
Science Professor Albert: “John, first, thank you for calling this very important faculty meeting. The first question that occurs to me is what if the virus isn’t deadly? What if Fauci and Birx are inflating the alleged risks?”
John: “Well, that’s what we need to find out.”
A professor named Tom asks a question: “Can’t we perform some inquiries - use all our collective expertise - and find out if the risk is perhaps wildly inflated?”
President of University: “Well, Tom, that’s why we’re here. The truth is the truth and all of us are committed to finding it and reporting it to the people. That’s why we became professors in the first place.”
In this imaginary scenario, the room might explode with exclamations of “Hear! Hear!” Without question, a “search for truth” is what motivated these professors to become professors.
Alas, In the Real Academic World, here’s what would have been said:
“… What the hell?”
“… Are you crazy, man?”
“… Do you know who pays our salaries and provides us all these great benefits?’
“… Aren’t we in these positions to support the policies of the Establishment and our benefactors?”
Chorus from those in the room:
“…. Right!”
“…. Guys, we’ve got a good deal going here. Why risk it?”
“… How are we going to keep getting grants and getting our papers published if we challenge views we’re not supposed to challenge?”
“… John, I must ask why you even called this meeting. Please tell me nobody is taking minutes.”
Globalists—whether in multinational corporations, elite think tanks, or non-governmental organisations—have largely operated behind closed doors, making decisions with profound global implications but without public transparency or accountability. By promoting policies perceived to benefit the few at the expense of the many, globalist influence has fostered mistrust among those who feel alienated or negatively impacted by these decisions. Economic policies that outsource labor and concentrate wealth, trade agreements that prioritise corporate gains over worker protections, and health policies that benefit the pharmaceutical industry over individual health and autonomy, all contribute to a new reality that these entities serve a narrow set of interests.
Globalisation, while bringing certain economic benefits, has had detrimental impacts on local economies and job security, contributing to the rise of populism and anti-globalist sentiment worldwide. The frustration and disillusionment with globalisation, especially among the middle and working classes, reflects a deep-seated belief that the global elite is not only detached from the everyday struggles of ordinary people but also complicit in creating these struggles.
The COVID-19 pandemic further exposed and intensified this growing divide. The response to the pandemic was marked by an unprecedented consolidation of power among global organizations, governments, and Big Tech. Policies that restricted personal freedoms, pushed experimental medical interventions, and limited discourse by labelling dissent as “misinformation” created an atmosphere of pathological distrust. Many people now realise that the narrative around COVID-19 was tightly controlled and that legitimate questions about the origins of the virus, the efficacy of certain treatments, and the transparency of pharmaceutical interests were ignored or shut down. The paranoia has even extended to conspiracy theories that the globalists want global control. Its that’s the case, as before, James Bond must step up.
The sidelining of dissenting voices (censorship) —including scientists and medical experts who questioned the prevailing narrative—was a critical blow to public trust. Rather than allowing a balanced scientific discourse, authorities acted to marginalise and discredit anyone challenging the status quo, leaving people feeling misled or manipulated. The situation was worsened by Big Tech, which engaged in aggressive censorship practices. Social media platforms quickly began flagging or removing content that questioned official COVID-19 policies, reinforcing public perception that a powerful few were controlling information to their own advantage.

"Stern and lasting message" my ass. Only life in prison will do. Singapore is a much better country than the US in this way.
