Vice filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy,

Sometimes it had good science articles. It has been accused of 'Gonzo Journalism' and Vice itself part of scandals. Hollywood had a near endless flood of scandal during the 'MeToo'.

They published an issue w/my photo and graphically quoted me about my sex life...which they completely fabricated. They retracted it... after it went to print. I was humiliated. I WAS 18

Re: Free Speech ZONE?

Greece is worst EU country for press freedom (again), report says
https://www.politico.eu/article/greece- … om-report/
Greece ranks 107th globally, behind Qatar and Thailand.

'Greece sucks for journalists, according to a new report. '


Not sure about some of these rankings as a place like Afghanistan ranks better than Laos, Bangladesh, Egypt, Philippines, Cambodia, India, Singapore, Cuba, Thailand, Syria.

How many places for example could you report news that jihadi islamics go to a mosque bash their heads into the ground, stick their butts up in the air to pray to an old camel jacker pedophile?


Reporters Without Borders is careful to note that the WPFI only deals with press freedom and does not measure the quality of journalism in the countries it assesses, nor does it look at human rights violations in general

President Trump’s combative, freewheeling, “fake news” press conference, explained
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics … -fake-news
The president designated the media as his most important opponent.

the guy who was shot

Sander Vanocur (NBC): You once said that you were reading more and enjoying it less. Are you still as avid a newspaper reader, magazine—I remember those of us who traveled with you on the campaign, a magazine wasn't safe around you. 

https://www.jfklibrary.org/learn/about- … -the-press

THE PRESIDENT: Oh, yes. No, no, I think it is invaluable, even though it may cause you—it is never pleasant to be reading things that are not agreeable news, but I would say that it is an invaluable arm of the presidency, as a check really on what is going on in the administration, and more things come to my attention that cause me concern or give me information. So I would think that Mr. Khrushchev operating a totalitarian system, which has many advantages as far as being able to move in secret, and all the rest—there is a terrific disadvantage not having the abrasive quality of the press applied to you daily, to an administration, even though we never like it, and even though we wish they didn't write it, and even though we disapprove, there isn't any doubt that we could not do the job at all in a free society without a very, very active press.

Like a bad plot to a bad movie?


Richard Nixon was the 37th president of the United States, serving from 1969 to 1974

But it's not just the ratty part of town. The upper class in San Francisco is that way. The Bohemian Grove, which I attend from time to time—it is the most faggy goddamned thing you could ever imagine, with that San Francisco crowd. I can't shake hands with anybody from San Francisco. Decorators. They got to do something. But we don't have to glorify it. You know one of the reasons fashions have made women look so terrible is because the goddamned designers hate women. Designers taking it out on the women. Now they're trying to get some more sexy things coming on again.

Some people in discussion have compared Trump to both 'Hitler' and 'JFK' personally I see a lot of Nixon in Trump and maybe even a bit of Jimmy Carter (who btw banned islamist immigration from Iran)

Clarence Thomas and Bohemian Grove: What goes on at the all-male club?
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65217165

The Bohemian Club was started by journalists, artists and musicians in San Francisco in 1872 - Mark Twain was an early member.

Over time the artsy roots of the club expanded to include businesspeople and politicians. Members are allowed to bring guests but the gathering is closed to media and outsiders.

Past members include presidents Herbert Hoover, Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon, along with a litany of famous writers, actors and businessmen.

A 1989 article in Spy magazine called the encampment "the most exclusive frat party on earth" and detailed a speech by Mr Reagan, who had just left office.

In the year 2000, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones snuck in and recorded one of the club's rituals, the burning of an effigy.

He made a documentary filled with lurid accusations about grand plots and human sacrifice.

He was accompanied by the journalist Jon Ronson who had an altogether different take. He later wrote: "My lasting impression was of an all-pervading sense of immaturity… I wondered whether the Bohemians shroud themselves in secrecy for reasons no more sinister than they thought it was cool."


and another Walter Cronkite quote


It seems to many of us that if we are to avoid the eventual catastrophic world conflict we must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a world government patterned after our own government with a legislature, executive and judiciary, and police to enforce its international laws and keep the peace.
To do that, of course, we Americans will have to yield up some of our sovereignty. That would be a bitter pill. It would take a lot of courage, a lot of faith in the new order.
But the American colonies did it once and brought forth one of the most nearly perfect unions the world has ever seen.

These guys get millions of views, the pot smoking Flat Earther Joe Rogan,  Elon Musk has appeared on 'The Joe Rogan Experience'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJYF6_x18ag
'What is the Deal with Bohemian Grove'?

The guy he is talking to Duncan Trussell is an actor, comedian and voice actor for weird cartoons. Trussell is also a burgeoning spiritual teacher in the tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, he frequently invokes applicable uses of Dharma teachings, he talks a lot of pseudo metaphysics voodoo stuff  and tries to blab about non existent math which does not make sense. I'm not sure 'Duncan Trussell' is all there but he is 'Out There' he might have spent too much time flying high as kites fly going around with hippies or went to some Rave or Psychedelia Woodstock Rock thing or Burning Man or did too much Deep Art and Psychedelics, he can spend 2 hours going hyper talking about nothing while not making any sense. It's possible Duncan Trussell is not shocked by any weird stuff Rogan says because Duncan Trussell is out of it, too stoned too have any reaction other than a stoner weed look on his face while replying Cheech & Chong 'dude man yeah, dude yeees, cool dude, yeah what, that sucks, man dude... '. Its also possible Duncan Trussel has already been to many sado masochist drugged out nudity parties so its just a normal weekend just as other people find drinking a cup of tea or cup of coffee normal, the weirdest stuff possible is probably normality for Duncan Trussell. He seems to play dumb, it seems he does know about the Grove already and talks into the camera and asks for an invite while winking. He says he knows Witches, Satanists and Occultists and defends their rituals, he seems to promote alternative pagan religion lifestyles. As crazy as all this conspiracy stuff sounds 'Bohemian Grove' is a real place, mostly covered by the now banned Alex Jones Infowars, Alex Jones is a paranoid idiot sued by Parents of Sandy Hook victims, in Defamation Suits because of his stupid ranks. The conspiracy guy Alex Jones is a fool who got many of his online accounts closed by social media but Bohemian Grove is a real thing.

What I find weird about it is not the people who wear a wizard religion hood or pagan robe it seems to be more than a Gentleman club but a strange a secret society, elected officials that are supposed to represent but operating among strangeness and behind closed doors.

Before Nixon, President JFK once said
The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it.

Bohemian Grove is a restricted 2,700-acre (1,100 ha) campground at Bohemian Avenue, in Monte Rio, California, United States, belonging to a private San Francisco–based gentlemen's club known as the Bohemian Club. The Bohemian Club's all-male membership includes artists and musicians, as well as many prominent business leaders, government officials, former U.S. presidents, senior media executives, and people of power. Although no woman has ever been given full membership in the Bohemian Club, the four female honorary members were hostess Margaret Bowman, poet Ina Coolbrith (who served as librarian for the club), actress Elizabeth Crocker Bowers, and writer Sara Jane Lippincott. Former U.S. president Herbert Hoover was inducted into the Old Guard in 1953; he had joined the club exactly 40 years prior. Redwood branches from the Grove were flown to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, where they were used to decorate a banquet room for the celebration. In New York City and other American metropolises in the late 1850s, groups of young, cultured journalists flourished as self-described "bohemians", until the American Civil War broke them up and sent them out as war correspondents. Nathaniel J. Brittan co-founded the Bohemian Club of San Francisco in 1872, and by 1892 Brittan was the president of the club. The Bohemian Club was originally formed in April 1872 by and for journalists who wished to promote a fraternal connection among men who enjoyed the arts.  Members have included some U.S. presidents (usually before they are elected to office), many cabinet officials, and CEOs of large corporations, including major financial institutions. Bohemianism is the practice of an unconventional lifestyle, often in the company of like-minded people and with few permanent ties. It involves musical, artistic, literary, or spiritual pursuits. In this context, bohemians may be wanderers, adventurers, or vagabonds. Major military contractors, oil companies, banks (including the Federal Reserve), utilities, and national media have high-ranking officials as club members or guests. Many members are, or have been, on the board of directors of several of these corporations; however, artists and lovers of art are among the most active members. The Nathanial Brittan Party House, also known as Nathaniel Brittan Party House, Brittan Party House, Brittan Lodge, is located at 125 Dale Avenue in San Carlos, California, and was built in 1872. The counter ceremony was first held in 1980, organized by Mary Moore, a former beauty queen turned left-wing activist. Moore was less concerned about the Cremation of Care ceremony than with the likelihood that club members with corporate interests would gain influence in government.

http://care.georgetown.edu/Classic%20Article.html

Like the whole 'MeToo' scandals, Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein and Casting Couch news and assaults, the topic of 'Bohemian Grove' seems to have been known by many and an 'Open Secret' for many years.

Teddy Bears' Picnic for example covered the Grove, it is a 2002 American comedy film written and directed by Harry Shearer. It was released in May 2002 to limited audiences. The actual retreat itself begins after the members have returned without any women and kicks off with the "Assassination of Time", based on the real Cremation of Care at the Bohemian Grove, with a pelican replacing the latter's owl. After that, the festivities begin, including an all-male chorus line in drag, which is photographed by one of the club employees who smuggles out the pictures to the news media. The film has a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on reviews from 19 critics.
https://www.metacritic.com/movie/teddy-bears-picnic
On Metacritic, the film has a 32% rating based on reviews from 10 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".

https://www.smdailyjournal.com/news/loc … b8053.html

For many years, a recording of the voice of club member Walter Cronkite was used as the voice of The Owl during the ceremony

‘House of Cards’: All About The Secret Society

https://decider.com/2017/06/16/house-of … t-society/

If you’re like me, you might have started “Chapter 60” of House of Cards and wondered if you were watching the right show. The lingering shot of the creepy giant statue didn’t feel entirely out of place, but as soon as the eerie score swelled and the group of figures wearing scarlet cloaks were revealed, I immediately paused to see if I had accidentally started another Netflix show by accident. These dudes were legit doing a fake human sacrifice to a giant stone crow that spoke back to them with what sounded like a Darth Vader voice changer.

What’s it called?

No, it’s not Bohemian Grove. This secret society is known as Elysian Fields, a name that can be traced back to Greek mythology. In the mythology, Elysian Fields is known as Elysium, or the “paradise of the heroes“, a conception of the afterlife that exists separate from the realm of Hades and is reserved for mortals who carried some relation to gods and heroes or were chosen by them. It’s basically their 5-star version of heaven – you can indulge in whatever you like, so it makes total sense that D.C.’s most powerful men would want such a retreat.

Following sexual misconduct allegations from 2017, House of Cards actor Kevin Spacey maintained a lower profile and his career stalled.

On January 4, 2007, US District Court Judge Jack B. Weinstein issued a temporary restraining order forbidding a number of activists and their organizations in the psychiatric survivors movement, including MindFreedom International and the Alliance for Human Research Protection from disseminating ostensibly leaked documents purporting to show that Eli Lilly and Company knowingly concealed information on potentially lethal side-effects of Zyprexa for years. The "Zyprexa documents" had been sealed by an earlier court order in a mass tort case; they were widely disseminated after Alaska attorney James Gottstein issued a subpoena for them in an unrelated case. The Electronic Frontier Foundation came to the defense of one of the parties silenced by the restraining order to defend the First Amendment right of Internet journalists to post links to relevant documents on wikis, blogs, and other web pages. While Eli Lilly maintains that the documents were obtained unlawfully and should not be part of the public domain, critics cite the leaked Pentagon Papers as precedent for the right of individuals to report on the existence and contents of such documents, and in this particular case, maintain that court sealing of documents should never be allowed to protect individuals or corporations from criminal liability.

Macron’s comments are hardly original, yet they warrant scrutiny from a free speech perspective.

'One cannot help but raise an eyebrow as President Macron pleads with social media giants to erase the “most sensitive” content pertaining to the rioting. With a wave of his hand, he decrees, “platforms and networks are playing a major role in the events of recent days.” His words, veiled under a guise of concern, echo a familiar tune that has been played on the world stage before.'

A report from the Free Web Turkey platform also showed in late October that access to at least 40,536 URLs belonging to domains, social media posts and social media accounts were blocked in Turkey in 2022 in a sign of growing censorship by the ruling AKP.

I shared many news articles over the years, many of the science some of them politics, I shared the Left CNN, the Right Fox, the NewYorkTimes, Breitbart, Reuters and independent foreign media and France24 or maybe even RT a different opinion but is now a Russian state-controlled international news television network while Putin is classed as a dictator. Here is the thing though with media and news, is it becoming a hypercritical mob of hysteria and does the West trust its own people anymore? when someone wanted to create damage for Joe Rogan who I am not a fan of but I support his right to broadcast that nonsense, the Media Tech News power dug up an old joke from many, many years ago about some rap event, joke routine, the media star apologies over past use of reference of 'racist' link to an N-Word with his "deepest" apologies and called use of the slur "shameful" fear of suddenly getting cancelled as someone takes a clip of your words and cuts and edits the media video to make it so much worse and he is suddenly in danger of losing the business to other BigTech media.  Trump is banned, he was cancelled across much of social media after a Riot, however the media is back now calling it an attempted coup d'etat event. We all know 'RT' is propaganda but the West does not trust its own people any more, they have their own personal judgement but is not taken into consideration but 'owned'.

At one time they were hated for comments on the invasion of Iraq, and criticism of little President George W. Bush

The band, which changed its name in 2020 to The Chicks, said it was "shocked and saddened" by her death. "We hold a special place in our hearts for the time we spent playing music, laughing and traveling together," the band wrote in a statement.

"Laura was a bright light…her infectious energy and humor gave a spark to the early days of our band," it said. "Laura had a gift for design, a love of all things Texas and was instrumental in the early success of the band. Her undeniable talents helped propel us beyond busking on street corners to stages all across Texas and the mid-West."

Re: Free Speech ZONE?

There is also a contingent of lawmakers who believe that eliminating AM radio capability is an attempt to cut down on the reach of talk radio. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas previously declared his opinion that preserving AM radio capability is akin to protecting free speech. The arguments against forcing automakers to include broadcast AM radio capability is largely the cost that such would add to each vehicle. There are also those who see the Act as big government meddling. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky vetoed a push to approve the bill under unanimous consent in December of last year, saying, "Mandating that all cars have AM radio is antithetical to any notion of limited government."

Not if the U.S. Congress has anything to say about it. The lawmakers want it mandated in all vehicles so it can be used for emergency and safety notifications.

The AM For Every Vehicle Act is close to passing, making broadcast AM capability a requirement in new cars sold in the United States.
    The Act has wide support in both Senate and Congress, on both sides of the aisle.
    Proponents say passing the Act is about providing emergency services or free speech. But there is a cost to manufacturers.

Chansley was represented by St. Louis attorney Albert Watkins starting in January 2021 until his guilty plea on September 2. In a written statement, Watkins argued that Chansley had no part in the violence, did not hide his identity, was unarmed, not destructive, and followed the instructions of law enforcement officials in a respectful fashion; and that Chansley was carrying a megaphone so his voice could be heard. He also presented evidence Chansley had been diagnosed with schizotypal personality disorder while serving the Navy. Chansley pleaded guilty to a single count of obstructing an official proceeding on September 3, 2021, and agreed to accept the prosecution's recommended sentence of 41 to 51 months in prison as part of the settlement. Earlier, his lawyer said Chansley broke away from QAnon and asked that it no longer be used in terms for him. Prosecutors have alleged that Chansley believes he is an alien or higher being and is destined to ascend to another reality.
