It’s finally happened? Congress woke up to the problem(s) it helped create with regard to censorship on the Internet by pandering to Internet giants, social media platforms and their lobbyists when on Friday, April 26, 2018, Congressman Darrell Issa [1] questioned two social media stars, who have garnered attention because of the ‘take down’ of their Facebook exposures, which they protest vociferously.

Those brave social media stars are Diamond and Silk, two female African American Conservatives, who probably ought to be in the left liberal camp of the Democratic Party and not support President Trump—if we’re to read the ‘tea leaves’ correctly as to why their social media platform at Facebook has suffered what they contend is dramatic censorship.

Below is a short video of their testimony before Congress, which amounts to a well-earned accolade,“Go, girls, go!” Let’s hope their candid testimony starts a similar backlash movement about Internet censorship as the “Harvey Weinstein effect” started with #MeToo and other newly-found feminine empowerment strategies and effectiveness.

Rep. Issa says every time we have a plane crash, we are obligated to look into it. Yeah, but why do they overlook all the important issues that affect life and living like social media censorship, and will not address the health damages caused by the fraudulent vaccine science CDC/FDA put out unchallenged and now has contributed to the Autism epidemic in the USA?

Is the current censorship agenda comparable to the “Nazi book burnings” of the 1930s? Read about that at Wikipedia to learn what you may not know about censorship.

Ironically, “book burning” or censorship is not new; it goes back millennia into antiquity, as documented by Wikipedia’s website “List of Book-burning Incidents.” Control, control, control! That’s what it’s all about, especially when one has: paranoia/mania; power or financial resources; or is in a position of control, something control freaks always covet and, unfortunately, always enforce.

Corporate control

Now it’s the corporate world’s turn in the censorship control seat and corporate giants in media, Internet and social programming have gone hog-wild using their abilities with technologies and algorithms to structure a specific rabid social meme, which apparently has ruined many unsuspecting minds, plus ‘devouring’ the lives of those chosen to be censored.

Censorship apparently results in a personal ‘suppression rite of passage’ for those of us who do not think like Big Media propaganda; who have legitimate opposing views regarding science and/or medicine, which has been fraudulently disseminated and perpetrated upon social and network media due to media’s deliberate and overwhelming zeal and cooperation; or have the temerity to keep on, keeping on in spite of their rigid censorship agendas.

My experiences

It is my personal opinion and belief, as a result of my experiences since 2012, while I was writing the book Vaccination Voodoo, What YOU Don’t Know About Vaccines, when text in Microsoft Word Document system would automatically disappear in front of my eyes not to be found nor relocated! Trying to recoup those saved files would enlist the prompt that no such file exists, or whatever MS wanted to give as an excuse.

I was and am not alone in that particular predicament. Former CBS investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson wrote about her similar experiences and even filed a lawsuit against the federal government about what was going on with her censorship issues. Here are some of Sharyl’s articles about that lawsuit:

https://sharylattkisson.com/2018/03/04/attkisson-v-doj-fbi-computer-intrusion-lawsuit-and-the-switched-hard-drive/

Jon Rappoport wrote this article about the Sharyl Attkisson case, “Actual hacking: Every reporter needs to understand Sharyl Attkisson’s case against the US government.”

All Internet Operating Systems, e.g., Microsoft, Mac, Linux, and those listed by Wikipedia are responsible for building and sharing algorithms that censor and/or target specific persons for the work they do—like me—and others who research and write for the alternative media.

Those censorship systems target the computers of those whom they wish to suppress and neutralize because the information put out is not in ‘lock step’ with the leftist, bizarre, New World Order, Hegelian Dialectic agenda of suppression of factual information; including the exposure of corporate crimes against the environment and humans; the fraudulent research information regarding vaccines and medicine perpetrated by the CDC/FDA/WHO; or political and geopolitical commentaries, etc. the vested-interests like the Deep State, Shadow Government, the Illuminati and that ilk want to keep out of the minds and consciousness of ordinary people (‘sheeple’) whom they want to influence using high tech microwave technologies and smart devices.

Microsoft Windows 10 is notorious for having a back window program into the CIA. Who will disprove or prove that comment, please? I’m told that an individual’s secret passwords are definable to those who monitor that stuff due to the pressing of the keys used to spell out the password! Who will disprove or prove that, please?

Personally, Microsoft’s operating system has taken over my computer. I have several security packages which do not find any malware intrusion. All the extraordinary difficulties with my computer have to come directly from Microsoft during their notorious “updates” after which my computer gets more dysfunctional each time.

Coincidentally, I got a new computer in March 2017 and for 2.5 days it ran like “greased lightning.” When Microsoft finally realized who bought the Windows 10 OS, they sent through a huge update and the computer has never run the same since! And it gets worse with every update MS sends.

Unfortunately, I hear similar comments from colleagues who do the same type of work I do, so it’s not a figment of our imagination; it’s something that must be investigated as part of corporations denying citizens of the First Amendment rights and other civil liberties.

Currently, I’m working on a monograph the ‘powers to be’ don’t want to see the light of day and I get all kinds of prompts like “that file does not exist” or other insane prompts, e.g., “that file was created on the Internet and can’t be trusted,” when I created it in MS Word Documents and saved it to my personal USB drives!

Before I end this, let me share with you the following personal result of Internet censorship and/or the sanitizing of my presence and work on the Internet.

Late in the summer of 2017, Bing—Microsoft’s search engine, listed Frompovich Activist Post Archives at 23 million 800 thousand results!

As I write this article, only a measly 57 thousand 300 results! Similarly, Google listed my archives at 99 thousand results, today they are 33 thousand 200 hundred results!

Censorship is alive, well and even thriving in the USA, especially on the Internet!

As a supposedly free society, we have a very serious problem with censorship. As Rep. Issa said to Diamond and Silk, more talks and investigations need to happen to get Internet, media and personal censorship out into the open in what’s supposed to be the United States of America, not some banana republic run by a despot!

Dear diary, many of my colleagues are unhappy about the recent events in Syria. They are unhappy that Assad is still in power. However, I see the metaphorical glass as being half full. In a recent poll, 58% of Americans support the bombing of Syria and 19% have “no opinion.” This is wonderful news, since it shows how the vast majority of people are easily manipulated and are simply apathetic. In a democracy, the most important but least understood tool is propaganda. Let me share with you the fundamentals of a successful propaganda campaign.

Here are the five rules of public relations a.k.a propaganda:

• Keep the message simple
• Make it emotional
• Don’t allow nuances or debates
• Demonize the opposition
• Keep repeating the message

Rule #1: The principle message has to be simple so that even a 5-year-old can understand. In this case, it was, “Assad used chemical weapons to kill innocent Syrians.” The secondary message was we should do something about it. Everyone who watched TV or read the mainstream/social media got this message loud and clear.

Rule #2: Make it emotional. Propaganda is just marketing. (In fact, the phrase Public Relations was coined to replace Propaganda when the latter became a dirty word after World War I). Every good commercial has an emotional aspect to it. Emotions stop you from thinking and analyzing. Thus, while selling Pepsi, marketers use sexy women, selling a war requires evoking fear and/or anger.

About 120 years ago, when the U.S. wanted to steal Cuba from Spain, it relied upon the exact playbook. “You furnish the pictures, and I’ll furnish the war,” said the newspaper oligarch William Randolph Hearst to his cartoonist. The pictures portrayed dying children and brutal Spanish authorities. (Although Spain is white, the picture on the right used a monstrous person with African American features, since a warmonger could also be racist in those days).

Today, the US government tells the White Helmets, “You furnish the videos, we’ll furnish the war.” It’s the same technique used over and over. Remember during Iraq War 1, when a girl testified before the Congress that Iraqi soldiers were killing newborn babies in incubators? Of course, it turned out to be fake news; and the girl turned out to be the daughter of the Kuwaiti Ambassador.

The Syrian war is also a great study in use of emotional language: “worst chemical attack in Syria in years” (a lie from NY Times that forgot its own article about 52+ chemical attacks by ISIS); “international outrage,” “shocked the world,” “horrific/deadly/ghastly/heinous chemical attack,” etc. Also, the Syrian government is always referred to as “regime” and Assad is always a “dictator” or a “butcher” who “kills his own people.” Every word and phrase is designed to have an emotional impact.

Rule #3: No debate allowed. The media and the pundits left absolutely no doubt who the culprit was. Within minutes after the release of pictures/videos, everyone was blaming Assad. So it didn’t matter if you listened to ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Fox, or read the NY Times, WaPo or HuffPo … everyone was singing the same tune. Tucker Carlson was the only mainstream person who went off the script, but we are taking care of him.

This kind of consistency is really important in a successful propaganda campaign. No one should be allowed to consider other alternatives – could the attack be staged, could it be a false flag, could it be fake, how do we know when/where the videos were taken, why is it that Assad’s chemical weapons kill only children and civilians and never the jihadists, why do the attacks happen only when Assad is winning, etc.?

There was also no discussion of evidence or proof. We see pictures and videos, and that’s enough. We have a doctor on site who says it’s Sarin or chlorine gas … end of story. Nobody discusses options such as should we send an international team of doctors and experts to the site, should we wait for an autopsy, should we get Assad to answer these charges (gasp!) and so on.

The US Establishment is the jury, judge and the prosecutor. The witness is Al Qaeda who supplies the pictures and the videos, but the average person doesn’t know that either.

The secondary message was also never debated. Even if you assume that the Syrian government used chemical weapons, why should the US do something about it? Is it a moral obligation that only falls on the US? Is it a legal obligation? Does the US intervene every time and anytime some country uses chemical weapons? How about non-chemical weapons? No such discussions are permitted.

Even the bombing was so ridiculous, but the average person doesn’t notice anything suspicious. For example, we bombed the Barzeh research facility that has been inspected and cleared by the OPCWmany times, including once in Nov 2017. The fact is that it’s a civilian research and educational center:

Thinking only complicates matters and ruins everything. That’s why propaganda has to keep everything simple.

Rule #4: You have to viciously attack anyone who questions the official narrative. We did a great job of attacking independent journalists and bloggers. Vanessa Beeley, Eva Bartlett and Twitter influencers such as @PartisanGirl and @Ian56789 were all maligned as “Russian bots.” Ian even got banned from Twitter for a few days. Sites such as 21^st Century Wire and Russia Insider were brought down by our hackers during the strikes on Syria.

Rule #5: Repetition is key in any successful campaign – selling a product, a politician or a war. Thus the media saturated the airwaves and the Internet with shocking language and pictures and videos. The West really has only one media outlet, but it comes in hundreds and thousands of different names in order to give the illusion of choice and diversity. Thus when the same message is repeated so many times by so many people, it comes becomes the truth.

So, you see, it doesn’t matter if Assad is still in power. The most important thing is that people are gullible and malleable, since that allows us to keep the war going and eventually achieve our goals. I assure you, we will get Syria and then we will get Iran. Yes, it will be a humanitarian disaster of epic proportion, but rest assured that the people of the West will feel good about it. That’s the power of propaganda!

While the United States government claims to be horrified every time there are reports of a chemical attack that was allegedly carried out by the Syrian government, history serves as a reminder that the U.S. is responsible for carrying out a number of chemical attacks on thousands of unsuspecting Americans, and some of the innocent victims are still suffering from the effects today.

In 1977, the U.S. Army admitted that it secretly conducted at least 239 germ warfare tests in the open air in cities across the country between 1949 and 1969. The areas where the lethal germs were simulated on the public were typically in major cities such as Washington D.C., San Francisco, New York City, Key West and Panama City, according to a report the Army submitted to the Senate Health Subcommittee.

In the report, the Army insisted that the purpose of the tests was to study how biological warfare affects the public, in case it needs to defend against it. Calling tests “essential,” the Army claimed it needed to “substantiate theories and fill knowledge gaps and to determine vulnerability to attack.”

According to a report from The Washington Post, the release of the Army’s censored report was “the most complete official version of this nation’s biological warfare effort,” and it revealed that in addition to public areas, military personnel and their families were also targeted:

The Army listed 27 times that it tested simulated toxins on public property, including releasing spores in two tunnels on a stretch of Pennsylvania Turnpike. In addition to those experiments in public places, the Army secretary used military personnel and their families for open-air experiments by spraying simulated germs into the air at a number of bases, including Fort Detrick, Md.; Fort Belvoir, Va.; and the Marine training school at Quantico, Va. … Another 504 workers connected with biological warfare activities at Ft. Detrick, Dugway Proving Ground and the Deseret Test Center in Utah and the Pine Bluff Arsenal in Arkansas suffered infections, according to the Army’s count.

The Army’s report also noted that while the initial tests were carried out 1942, the testing of biological warfare agents increased drastically in 1961 when the Secretary of Defense ordered the Joint Chiefs of Staff to “evaluate the potentialities” of biological and chemical warfare, instead of just studying the effects of the agents from a defense standpoint.

While the report from the Army maintained that the live bacteria deployed in tests across the country were “deemed harmless at the time,” the tests resulted in lifelong illnesses and health problems for many of the innocent victims who were unaware that their quality of life was being compromised by a government experiment.

As The Free Thought Project reported, the largest experiment was carried out in San Francisco, California, in 1950. The Army sprayed the city with the microbe Serratia marcescens in an attack that was called “Operation Sea-Spray.” They claimed San Francisco was chosen as the target because it is close to the ocean and because it has a unique geography, tall buildings, and dense population.

For six days in September 1950, military members used giant hoses to spray clouds of Serratia along the San Francisco coastline, which resulted in the city’s 800,000 residents receiving heavy doses of the chemical. It is also estimated that residents in the neighboring communities of Albany, Berkeley, Daly City, Colma, Oakland, San Leandro, and Sausalito, were exposed to it.

While the military insisted that Serratia marcescens is “rarely a cause of illness,” Discover Magazinenoted that there were a number of serious illnesses and even one tragic death reported as a result of the government’s chemical attack:

A week after the spraying, 11 patients were admitted to the now-defunct Stanford University Hospital in San Francisco with severe urinary tract infections, resistant to the limited antibiotics available in that era. One gentleman, recovering from prostate surgery, developed complications of heart infection as Serratia colonized his heart valves. His would be the only death during the aftermath of the experiment … Later, the repeated occurrence of urinary-tract infection by this organism, with bacteremia in two patients and death in one, indicated the potential clinical importance of this group of bacteria.’

While the idea that the U.S. government would willingly poison its own citizens may seem shocking to some, it is not unprecedented. Earlier this year, a study found that the Pentagon has contaminated more than 40,000 sites across the United States, exposing hundreds of thousands of Americans to dangerous chemicals.

The investigation, which was conducted by ProPublica and Vox, revealed that by testing and disposing of deadly chemical weapons in the United States, the Pentagon has “poisoned drinking water supplies, rendered millions of acres of land unsafe or unusable, and jeopardized the health of often unwitting Americans.”

The study noted that while the Pentagon has spent more than $40 billion in an effort to clean up the contaminated sites over the years, the results have been overwhelmingly inadequate, and many Americans are still at risk, even after the government claims that the sites have been rendered “safe” for public use.

The Department of Defense and its contractors are also currently using at least 61 active military sites across the country to “burn and detonate unused munitions and raw explosives in the open air with no environmental emissions controls,” according to a series of reports from ProPublica.

Ultimately, while the U.S. claims that it must engage in the “War on Terror” to protect Americans from terrorists, the fact remains that some of the most harmful warfare launched against Americans on U.S. soil has resulted from secret experiments backed by the Pentagon. Yet none of the officials from the government agencies who are responsible have been held accountable for poisoning countless innocent Americans with the attacks.
