Facebook Removes News Reporting, Mention of Alleged ‘Whistleblower’s’ Identity

Via Breitbart

Facebook is removing any mention of the potential whistleblower’s name and is cracking down against Facebook publishers that mention any allegation of the potential whistleblower’s name, claiming they are violating Facebook’s Community Standards and Policies.

For example, on Wednesday evening, Facebook removed Breitbart posts reporting on the fact other respected news outlets have reported the identity of the alleged whistleblower is Eric Ciaramella. Any Facebook user who attempts to click on that article on Facebook is now given a message that says, “this content isn’t available at the moment.”

To be clear, Breitbart did not “out” the alleged whistleblower but did provide additional relevant reporting about him; he is, after all, a public figure, having served on the National Security Council. Moreover, his name has been used in the Mueller report (p283) and Ambassador Bill Taylor’s testimony.

Administrators of Breitbart News’ Facebook page began receiving notifications on Wednesday evening stating that Breitbart’s page is “at risk of being unpublished” but were not given any details as to why, or even which posts were allegedly at issue.

Yesterday afternoon, however, in response to questions from Breitbart, a Facebook spokesman issued the following statement:

Any mention of the potential whistleblower’s name violates our coordinating harm policy, which prohibits content “outing of witness, informant, or activist.” We are removing any and all mentions of the potential whistleblower’s name and will revisit this decision should their name be widely published in the media or used by public figures in debate.

Breitbart News is currently the 68th-most visited site in the United States according to Alexa, and the 13th most-engaged Facebook publisher in the world according to NewsWhip.

NOV. 8 MARKS THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF CALIFORNIA’S DEADLIEST FIRE IN STATE HISTORY- THE CAMP FIRE

By Ben Garrison

The United Nations is making progress with their various agendas.

For those of you who thought they could not possibly become a reality, we are now seeing it happen before our very eyes. Oh sure, they frame things such as Agenda 30 in positive terms. They state they’re out to make humanity more peaceful and prosperous by the implementation of ‘sustainable’ things to protect the planet. In reality, the satanic illuminati who are running the show are protecting THEIR planet for THEMSELVES. They already own everything important and we pesky humans who aren’t in their club must be dealt with and they’re doing that now—especially in California by means of climate engineering, stripping away liberty by means of every-growing government regulation, high taxes, and of course controlling energy.

The elite want a cashless society so they can control our funds. Those who step out of line won’t be able to buy food or pay for rent. They want complete government control of our health. What Elizabeth Warren wants will be the completion of still yet another Communist plank. It’s not free stuff, it’s more government control over our very bodies.

They want us to completely give up our privacy and get groped at airports and elsewhere and be grateful to them for ‘making us safe.’ They want to control our food. They want us to eat fake and GMO food. They want to control our water. Private wells are now regulated in California. All human activity now seems to require government permission.

They want to control where we live. Permits are required for generators. Now they can cut off power whenever they want to, and they want us to become accustomed to privation. At the same time they want electric cars and a Green New Deal. “You’d better obey or we’ll turn off your power!” For those at the very top, they will obtain easier control if they can force people into cities, while they complete the wilding of future no-go zones in the country. This is all part of the UN’s plan and it’s happening.

They’re showing us who is boss in California, and it’s not We The People.

It’s time to stand up and stop participating in our own slavery. It’s especially important not to give up our guns.

35 Reasons To Leave California

Via Zero Hedge

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there was a “reboot” button for an entire state? Because the truth is that if an entire state ever needed to completely start over it is the state of California. At this point it has become the epicenter for just about everything that is wrong with America, and each year it just keeps coming up with new ways to become an even worse cesspool of social decay and depravity.

Millions of people have already left the state, and millions more are thinking of leaving. One recent survey found that 47 percent of all Californians are thinking about moving out of the state in the next five years, and a different survey discovered that 53 percent of those currently living in the state would like to leave. If about half the people in your state are seriously considering leaving, it is safe to say that things have gone horribly wrong. But instead of changing course, those running California continue taking the state down a very self-destructive path.

It is such a shame, because California should be one of the greatest places in the world to live. The weather is wonderful most of the year, the state still possesses extraordinary natural beauty, and the tech industry provides plenty of high paying jobs.

When I was growing up, millions of young Americans dreamed of moving there and living “the California dream”, and when I was a young man I seriously explored the possibility of moving there myself.

And the truth is that a lot of great things have come out of the state. The following comes from a recent article by Ann Coulter…

In the last century, every great thing started in California: surfing, jeans, Disneyland, tax revolts, McDonald’s, movies, car culture, the Grateful Dead, right on red turns, Merle Haggard, skateboarding, Apple computer, and the last two elected Republican presidents not named “Bush.”

But now I don’t know why anyone would want to live there.

If you currently live in California, I am about to tell you a whole bunch of reasons why you should leave. In fact, if I could get everybody to leave the state, I would.

However, if you feel specifically called to stay, then that is what you should do. Without a doubt, light is needed the most where things are the darkest, and California needs as much light as it can get right now.

Unfortunately, I believe that it is too late for the state as a whole. It is headed for a date with destiny, and most of the nearly 40 million people that live there have absolutely no idea what is coming.

If you live in the state and you do not know what you should do, I would get out while you still can. The following are 35 reasons why you should move away from California…

GLAAD Demands: Make 20% of TV Characters Gay by 2025

Via Newsbusters

Congratulations to GLAAD. A group that claims to speak for four percent of the population has already reached its 2020 goal of bullying Hollywood into over-representing gays on TV. In fact, according to the organization’s “Where We Are On TV” report, gay characters are at an “all-time high.” The group boasts “10 percent LGBTQ inclusion among broadcast series regular characters on primetime scripted series,” with all LGBT series regulars comprising 10.2 percent of network characters.

Well done. Now how about taking a breather — bask in the accomplishment for a minute and … Nope.

Variety reported that GLAAD’s (The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) annual TV report panel discussed pushing the ball forward … way forward as far as LGBTQ representation on the small screen. GLAAD members are now urging the “TV industry to increase its LGBTQ representation to 20% by 2025,” adding that one of the best ways to foster more on-screen inclusion is by creating “more off-screen inclusion as well.”

‘We’re standing by it’: Florida sheriff REFUSES to remove ‘In God We Trust’ from patrol cars after atheist group files complaint

Via The Daily Mail

A Florida sheriff says he has no plans to remove decals with the motto ‘In God We Trust’ from the agency’s patrol cars.

On October 27, the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office announced on Facebook that it would be redesigning its marked vehicles over the next few years with new graphics.

These included an American flag on the side of the car and the phrase ‘In God We Trust’ – the official motto of the US and Florida – on the back.

It drew criticism from atheists and agnostics, who said the decal was ‘inappropriate and exclusionary’, reported Florida Today.

But Sheriff Wayne Ivey has doubled-down on the decals, saying the motto is here to stay.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation, based in Madison, Wisconsin, condemned the department’s actions and called for the decals to removed

‘Spending taxpayer time placing religious messages on patrol cars is beyond the scope of secular government,’ FFRF Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor wrote in a letter to Ivey,

‘Further, in a time when citizens nationwide are increasingly distrustful of law enforcement officers’ actions, it is frightening and politically dubious for the local police department to announce to citizens that officers rely on the judgment of a deity rather than on the judgment of the law.’

CBS News fires staffer who leaked ABC News video about Epstein story

Via The Washington Examiner

The former ABC News employee who leaked the video of anchor Amy Robach talking about the network refusing to run her story on one of Jeffrey Epstein’s accusers was fired from a job at CBS News.

Project Veritas released a video Tuesday of Robach discussing on a hot mic the information she received years earlier from Virginia Roberts Giuffre. She can be heard expressing her frustration surrounding ABC News’s refusal to air the interview and claimed the network made the decision after receiving threats from Buckingham Palace after it had found out Prince Andrew was implicated in the story. She also alleged that Epstein, the convicted sex offender who was found dead in his jail cell in August, may have been murdered.

“It was unbelievable what we had. Clinton, we had everything,” she stated. “I tried for three years to get it on to no avail. And now it’s all coming out, and it’s like these new revelations, and I freaking had all of it.”

The former ABC News employee who accessed the video has been fired from a position at CBS News, according to journalist Yashar Ali.

“Two sources familiar with the matter tell me that CBS News has fired the staffer in question. This comes after ABC informed CBS that they had determined who accessed the footage of Amy Robach expressing her frustrations about the Epstein story,” Ali tweeted Thursday morning.

Nazis Clarify They’re Only Calling For ‘Democratic Nazism’

Via The Babylon Bee (Satire)

ARLINGTON, VA—At a press conference on Thursday, American Nazi Party leader Emmett Scoggins told reporters that his group is not trying to instate full-on Nazism, but a much better system called “democratic Nazism.”

“People have us all wrong,” Scoggins explained. “We love democracy. We want people to be able to freely vote and have a voice at the ballot box.”

Reporters asked Scoggins if, under democratic Nazism, people could just use their democratic voting rights to vote against Nazism. He replied, “No, they could not. That wouldn’t be one of the things you could vote for.” He then clarified, “The things you could vote for would be stuff like how Nazi should we go? Double-Nazi? Triple-Nazi? Nazi-nine-thousand? The choices would be endless, but of course all Nazi choices.”

Scoggins was questioned about the use of the word “democratic” and how democratic Nazism was any different from plain-old Nazism. “The main difference is we add the word ‘democratic’ on there because people like that word a lot more than just plain ‘Nazi,’” Scoggins said. “We’ve added the word to all of our unpopular practices. Democratic racism, democratic beat-downs, democratic censorship, democratic genocide. All of those things poll much higher if we call them democratic.”

The conference ended with a long speech from Scoggins about everything wrong with America, the need for democratic Nazism, and an impassioned appeal on how “real” Nazism has never been tried.
