Brave New World as we “Faceoff with Facebook” – But what’s the Alternative?

Exclusive
Facebook is not really anybody’s friend and that is becoming too obvious, not only in terms of internet censorship and their so-called community standards; they are most selective at whom they block. This begs the question as “who is really behind the curtain?” Coincidence or not, two of my publishing outlets: Veterans Today. VT, and USA Really are both blocked—their links cannot be shared by facebook. I guess that says something good about me, and the company that I keep, or that I keep VERY BAD Company and I am not a very politically expedient or correct person—even a...

4541
On Thursday, a widely respected teacher in Virginia was released from his teaching position at West Point High School, leaving his family with no income after he committed the gravest of politically-incorrect sins: He used the word “she” to refer to a girl. Peter Vlaming, who taught French at West Point High School for almost seven years, lost his job after all five board members voted that his objection to using male pronouns for a female student was a fireable offense. Vlaming, 47, had taught a rising-9th-grade student in the 2017-18 school year, when the student still...

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA - December 7, 2018 Two Minnesota police officers were placed on paid leave Friday after images of a Christmas tree with “racist” ornaments in north Minneapolis’ 4th Precinct station went viral.

The latest development in the RussiaGate saga, which has kept America spellbound for over a year, are recirculated rumors of an impending arrest of Republican-operative Paul Erickson for his role in the Russian meddling of the 2016 election. Erickson, the strange, if not estranged, lover of the alleged Russian spy Maria Butina, was notified, way back in September, by federal investigators that he maybe charged under Title 18 U.S.C. 951: Agents of foreign governments. Megan Keller’s 12/05/2018 article for The Hill, titled “GOP operative boyfriend of alleged Russian agent...

Yes, friends, we are throwing caution to the winds today and jumping directly into the briar patch of political correctness, for there is still a great deal of hyperventilating nowadays over the South’s ‘peculiar institution’, ranging from groups like Black Lives Matter and the Southern Poverty Law Center to conservative Republican politicians and Evangelical Christians. All of them condemn Southern slavery as inhuman, evil, backwards, etc. because it denied black folks certain rights, the ability to achieve the American Dream, and so on and so forth. If man was made sim...
Posting About Killing Immigrants and Minorities Is Not Hate Speech, Facebook Says
4305
Hate speech. This terrible term has penetrated into every social network, has caused numerous scandals, and seems to have settled even in our own minds. People are slowly getting used to new sets of rules in “virtual reality,” becoming more thick-skinned and less compassionate. However, the masterminds of the total brainwashing are pushing back as its users’ sense detectors of what should be prohibited are heightened now more than ever. Thus, 100 Facebook posts calling for people to be shot have somehow managed to avoid being marked with those two awful words despite the c...

Coming back from a weekend trip turned out to be a nightmare for one Harvard University graduate student. Leyla Pirnie received a letter from the owner of her apartment complex stating it would be best if she left. Roommates at Harvard University were “uncomfortable” with their one roommate from the south who owned a Make America Great Again (MAGA) hat, so they secretly searched through her room and found legally-owned guns. Pirnie says her roommates invaded her privacy, having searched her room while she was away. Even though there have been no incidents since she’s bee...
