The White House is no Honest Broker on Covid or Anything Else
Liberal Democrats are leading the way in pushing for centralized power and mass-media censorship
President Joe Biden recently said that Facebook is effectively killing people because there happens to be false information about covid-19 posted through it by some of its hundreds of millions of users. “They’re killing people,” he told reporters.
“Look, the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated and they’re killing people.”
Biden’s Press Secretary Jen Psaki has called for people who are purged for any reason from a single social media platform by the tech companies who support her administration to be banned from all social media networks.
“You shouldn’t be banned from one platform, and not others,” she recently proposed on behalf of her administration.
This vilification of individual citizens while the U.S. government devotes virtually no resources towards the relief Americans need to deal with the covid-19 pandemic is a way of distracting from its own murderous negligence as well as a way to further consolidate power and facilitate censorship.
Biden is as responsible as anyone else for the dystopian reality Americans currently live under after writing what would become the unconstitutional Patriot Act which set up the most expansive domestic spying apparatus in history as well as authoring and pushing the 1994 Crime Bill which created a carceral state so racist and all-encompassing that legal scholar Michelle Alexander termed it “The New Jim Crow.”
So, Biden and his crew have experience with and great affection for censorship and huge government overreach while simultaneously refusing to set up anything resembling the social safety net that Americans need. For now, I encourage those of you who may initially feel comfortable with letting the White House decide what is and isn’t fact and disinformation to consider the following:
In January of 2020 the White House deemed as disinformation the idea that Covid-19 was transmitted human-to-human.
In March of 2020 the White House, as well as public health doctors like Anthony Fauci deemed as disinformation the idea that we should wear masks to protect ourselves from covid-19.
If you’re tempted to rack those examples up to the previous occupant of the White House (even though Dr. Fauci is still very much in place in the current government) it might be useful to remind ourselves of Biden’s own specific deceit.
We will, for the sake of brevity, leave out many examples Biden’s pathological plagiarism throughout his half-century political career. In the 1980’s Joe Biden lied about the danger posed to White families like his by the means of racial school integration – busing – saying “I don’t want my children to grow up in a racial jungle.”
In the early 1990’s, leading Democrats like the Clintons and Joe Biden lied about crime rates and the supposed threat posed to society by poor, Brown, and Black children that they said were biologically incapable of empathy. For those racist lies Democrats like Biden did everything but take out their skull-measuring implements.
In the early part of this century Democrats like Biden joined with Republicans and then President George W. Bush to fabricate wholesale non-existent intelligence, forensic evidence and falsified testimony to lie our way into waging a war on Iraq that has subsequently gone on for two decades and killed over a million mostly women and children, representing one of the worst genocides in human history. While campaigning for President and since becoming President, Joe Biden has lied to Americans about a bevy of the issues most important to them, including his promise to cancel student debt, give out $2,000 stimulus checks, open up drug patents to help combat covid-19, close our ethnic concentration camps, raise the federal minimum wage, and end our involvement in the war on Yemen.
All of those lies from Biden throughout his career are, at least, disinformation, and have caused the ruin and outright snuffing out of tens of millions of lives. Yet, he and his party were and are silent on those lies and their consequences, instead insisting that it’s your goofy, ill-informed uncle and his kooky Facebook posts that are the real killers.
