The latest news is that YouTube is now tearing down content that challenges any belief that this was not a fair and honest election. Which brings me to my next point. When I first read George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984” I thought I understood what Orwell was trying to say. I believed he was simply making good use of hyperbole. I am now reaching the terrifying conclusion that Orwell was dead on the money. At the rate the nation is progressing it will not be long before conservatives begin to be arrested for thoughtcrime and wrongthink. In Orwell’s novel the television was what listened in and kept an eye on everyone. In reality it is your “smartphone.” With your smart phone the government can, with out your knowledge, listen to what you are saying when your phone is not active. Apple currently uses this eavesdropping to target ads and marketing. The government can use your phone to track where you physically are and have been. Who you call and what you purchase. And now, they (big tech and the left) are deciding whos in office. This country is in deep, deep trouble. Please don’t take my word for it do some research and Remember BB is watching!

All true – but there is a remedy (of sorts). If you switch off your phone until you need to use it, you gain privacy at the cost of losing incoming calls while your phone is off.
There is reason behind eliminating the ability to remove the battery on our phones.
Simply put, electronics are not to be trusted with our privacy; whether that is financial, medical, or political.
I was listening to Tim Pool and he claimed that he’d had a direct conversation with YouTube on this new restriction. Supposedly, he was told that he could talk about the fraudulent election and he could also talk about Trump losing it. But what he couldn’t do was combine the two and claim that Trump lost the election due to fraud. What kind of crapola is that?!
Yes, 1984 nailed it. I’m giving that book to all of the young people in my life. I first read it, Animal Farm and Lord of the Flies when I was about 15 yrs old – the impressionable age period. I’m hoping it will have the same effect on the kids I give it to.
I think his error was that when he wrote it, he intended it (I believe) as a cautionary tale. I presume he never imagined that people (who claim to support democracy!) would use it as a how-to manual.
