Here's another and he even makes more sense about Rubio. Styx is right. If Rubio did not know who Alex Jones was, what the hell was he doing on that committee seeing that Alex's picture was plastered all over the prime real estate of the news and Internet for at least a solid week when he got banned on the major social media platforms? That was all the major pundits talked about. And considering that Alex's banning is essentially what prompted the Senate to look into this social media thing in the first place, is it too much to ask that a Senator on the committee be aware of it? I mean, Jeez... How clueless do you have to be to be an establishment Senator? It cluelessness the new standard? For Rubio supporters, this poor reputation of his is a real thing that threatens to grow. It's not going to go away unless Rubio makes some serious changes and I don't see that in his stars at this moment. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You missed my explanation (that I have given in several places so far). I won't do the entire explanation again, but just say get rid of the government cartel protections and military contracts and so on for these firms and I will agree with your store analogy. Somebody came up with a different analogy that I found better. Suppose they cancel your ability to operate in the banking system then tell you if you want to operate financially, you are free to make your own banking system. There. That's a lost closer to the reality of the current situation. Check out what is happening to GAB, for instance, with its hosting. What's it going to have to do to exist and compete for real? Eventually lay its own Internet cabling all over the world, send up its own satellites and invent its own operating system to run cloud severs in addition to trying to be a social media start up? In the current Internet social media environment (government protected, I might add), you're allowed to be a "store" so long as you stay small and don't get big enough to be an inconvenience to the Obama-knighted and subsidized big ones. But... but... but... They're private companies, right? Anyway, since you like government protected and paid for cartels kicking out people for ideological reasons, there are still a hell of a lot of illegal immigrants to kick out of America. After all, if a government protected and paid for cartel is the equivalent of a store, a country itself is like a store. Or maybe a home,. Right? How did Prince Bush put it? Homeland? Right? It's the physical real estate and property of its citizens, right? So kick all the illegals out? Immediately? 59 minutes ago, KorbenDallas said: You're down with that?

Darrell Hougen Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 On 8/16/2018 at 6:32 PM, Michael Stuart Kelly said: Darrell, Absolutely. The tech giants want to be regulated. That will shut out startups over time (except for crony startups run by people with pull). And this, as you say, is even more reason to oppose regulation. We agree on that. I have probably been writing poorly if that has not been clear. But there is an idea I want to add to this, so let me try it this way. The argument generally given on the O-Land side, which in this context I mean including libertarians and some conservatives, is that tech giants are private property and they have the right to determine who can use their platform and who cannot. But people use this argument to justify ignoring the bullying of Alex Jones by crony corporatists and the deep state. This bullying will inevitably lead to regulation of the Internet in some form--through antitrust laws, declaring social media platforms a public utility, etc., all of which have enough grounds in law to happen. Maybe even racketeering. It all depends on what prosecutors, disgruntled people with lawyers, and politicians can dream up. I believe that is a bad thing. And the fact that people in O-Land present their argument so sanctimoniously and dismiss all else just because they dislike Alex Jones shows they are blinded to this risk, thus they are not really thinking in principles, although it sounds like they are. Is that clear, now? I want to be understood before I am judged. Seriously, if you have any doubt about any lack of clarity there may be in my words, please let me know. Michael Hi Michael, I guess I was a little confused about your argument, so thank you for setting the record straight. There is certainly enough sanctimony among Objectivists, but that sort of goes with the territory. Darrell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Wow! Good news anyway. I saw the banning but didn't know they had been restored.

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 1 hour ago, KorbenDallas said: More bullying being done by Alex Korben, Well... I had never paid much attention to Oliver Darcy before, but he actually does look like a sanctimonious little rat. Those darting eyes... He was over at the Blaze starting about 2013. This was during the time Glenn Beck was stealing Alex Jones's stories and research and ginning them to fit his audience all without attribution. I believe Darcy was a deep part of this since it slowed down once he left. It took me a long time to learn about then believe that since I supported Beck so strongly back then. But I have since corroborated it. Beck even used to claim they had tons of researchers on staff, but there were only a few. And most of their research was looking at videos and articles of other people, especially Alex Jones, to see what they could rip off. Beck did this to Breitbart, too, until Andrew Breitbart personally had a shit fit on him. There's a reason Sarah Palin didn't support The Blaze, which was a big surprise to everyone given her prominence in the Restoring Honor rally shortly before Beck left Fox. I don't like watching people taunt cornered rats too much, but this time it didn't bother me. The taunts were nothing but insults and I didn't see Alex threaten him personally. (I actually liked Alex calling him evil and doing the eyes thing to show his eyes in relation to the eyes of others. ) The more I learn about Darcy, the more I don't think any real bullying was done by Alex. Darcy is the real bully. He's quite the backstabber. He doesn't bully his enemies to their faces. He does it behind their backs by trying to injure them through dirty tricks. Anyway, he's at the right place now: CNN. It's a perfect match. Pretty soon, just like with Joe Scarborough, he will give up any pretense at being a conservative and openly come out as the contrary. Maybe it's already happened and I just haven't seen it. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Stuart Kelly Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 This kind of states where I'm at on Alex and Darcy. What’s next? Banning people from Twitter who chant ‘CNN Sucks’ at Jim Acosta? Guess that’s ‘bullying’ and ‘harassment’ now too in the new world order. — Mark Dice (@MarkDice) September 7, 2018 Great point.

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 This is one of the best, on-point rants I have heard so far. It deals with fundamentals, not personalities. For those who are offended by a little hair on a scrawny chest, you can give this one a pass. For the rest, the philosophical clarity will probably make you feel good in a relieved sort of way. At least somebody out there is using his brain for processing fundamentals and applying them to complex real life situations, not just repeating inhouse bromides to feel superior. Also, Styx makes a great point by saying when journalists get in President Trump's face (or his staff) and call him a liar and so forth, that's called journalism by the pearl-clutchers. When Alex Jones does it, that's called bullying. Whatever you call it, you can't call it a principle when it's that skewed in consistency.

The plex will gain paying patrons, build an invincible outpost of freedom on its own freaking property, be it a super-cooled underground fibre-opticked ultra-fast server-farm or satellite-connected Next Level pay-per-view Cloud 9. For those unwilling to watch the sexy Styx-in-kimono video version posted by MSK above, here's the automated caption file rendered from Youtube:1 All right everyone by now you may have 2 seen that Alex Jones Infowars 3 has been banned off of Twitter which was 4 the last sort of big Silicon Valley site 5 that allowed him to be there by by the 6 grace of Jack Dorsey Alex Jones was 7 allowed to communicate with people now 8 I've already said these sites need to be 9 labeled they neither need to be subject 10 to an internet Constitution of sorts a 11 bill of rights for the internet or some 12 law needs to be passed to prevent sites 13 which host government services and 14 government figures which taxpayers pay 15 for from banning those same taxpayers 16 because they can interact with them and 17 get info from them on site 18 this essentially violates the First 19 Amendment in the most literal sense 20 especially when Silicon Valley 'it's all 21 sorts of tax breaks from the US and 22 state government and especially in 23 California but what's happened is Alex 24 Jones was banned off Twitter now this 25 joins YouTube's failing and every Google 26 service by default all linked together 27 now used to be semi separate Facebook 28 and I think four different Facebook 29 pages ban Paul Joseph Watson I believe 30 is in Twitter jail right now for 12 31 hours they're like checking the account 32 they're considering banning him - oh 33 what a crazy time it'll be if they kick 34 Paul Joseph Watson off because really I 35 think at this point pjw is closer to the 36 rest of the creator community than Alex 37 Jones Infowars is bigger Alex Jones is 38 more well known but Paul Joseph Watson 39 is more closely associated with I mean 40 I've talked to him several times this is 41 a war on honesty because the reason 42 apparently that Alex Jones was finally 43 kicked to the curb is that he dared to 44 confront all of her Darcy of all people 45 from CNN a senior correspondent so you 46 know so Twitter is telling me this you 47 are not allowed to confront a pundit on 48 the street if you believe in all honesty 49 and in good faith you believe that a 50 corporation like CNN a for-profit 51 corporate entity is misleading people 52 you're not allowed to confront any 53 representative from it and if you post 54 that confrontation Twitter will gladly 55 ban you despite the fact that of course 56 it has nothing what's so ever to 57 do with Twitter it's just like when you 58 do and and don't get me don't be 59 mistaken 60 Jack was looking for an excuse to kick 61 Alex Jones off the site just as 62 Twitter's looking for excuses to kick 63 probably thousands of content creators 64 off the site it's not going to start and 65 end with Alex Jones when people are 66 cheering it on and saying well Alex 67 Jones is a conspiracy theory good going 68 jack wonderful Twitter's a wonderful 69 company thank you for kicking this this 70 hate-filled bigoted individual off okay 71 think what you will about Alex Jones do 72 you honestly think it stops there no 73 because here's what happens now that 74 Alex Jones is gone people who had a big 75 problem with him and cheered him on will 76 find a new target and they will rant and 77 rave about them and they will find 78 reasons why they should be banned and 79 they will target them with mass flagging 80 campaigns and everything else under the 81 Sun until they're banned and then 82 they'll move on to the next wave of 83 targets and pretty soon the only people 84 left to ban will be leftists pretty soon 85 the only people left to ban will be 86 lukewarm neo liberals like the social 87 justice warriors will probably be banned 88 first they'll be gone - essentially you 89 will end up with them looking like 90 Facebook wastelands of boringness yeah 91 you probably use a lot of you probably 92 use Facebook you probably use messenger 93 you talk to your so-called friends half 94 of which you'll never actually meet what 95 a wonderful time that is very very 96 intellectually thrilling very very 97 stimulating time you know exchanging 98 nudes probably more than anything else 99 at this point use messenger maybe scroll 100 through the timeline to see some memes 101 is it really that interesting and is it 102 really that politically stimulating or 103 is it basically just a echo 104 chamber of what you happen to believe in 105 now it's probably more or less an echo 106 chamber Twitter's already fallen down 107 that pit Twitter I predicted Twitter 108 would be the first big tech firm to 109 really really suffer and it's already 110 basically been proven correct their 111 stock tanked a few weeks ago it'll 112 probably tank more on this news they are 113 alienating millions of people for a 114 while they're people that had gone full 115 cutthroat against the rest of Silicon 116 Valley only held back from attacking the 117 whole dirty rotten thing because it 118 looked like Twitter might be one shining 119 example of a site that kind of gut it 120 and here's what I have a problem here's 121 the biggest problem I have as someone in 122 my age bracket as a millennial 123 remembering sort of the birth of social 124 media that was born out of Millennials 125 essentially built by Gen Xers in part 126 other than Zuckerberg insa Jack I 127 believe is 128 in Zinni in his mid-30s so built by you 129 know the older style Millennials the 130 young jeddaks crowd as someone who's 131 kind of on the margins that I was hoping 132 that what we built would actually 133 continue to be good and it was Facebook 134 was used to suppress a counter 135 revolutionary Islamic theocratic groups 136 in Tunisia it was given open credit it 137 was a wonderful time 138 tyrants can be deposed because of social 139 media 140 tyrants can be deposed by a YouTube 141 video we can mock fascism we can mock 142 the Communists we can mock hate-filled 143 murderous people but you can't do that 144 when you begin D personal when you begin 145 to personing people people you are no 146 different than the Evangel o'connor of 147 the early to mid Bush era trying to 148 strike down every song that they didn't 149 like because it wasn't patriotic enough 150 the Dixie Chicks oh my god Eminem oh my 151 god Eminem offended lots of people that 152 there are several people earlier I was 153 mocking another user for being blatantly 154 so stupid and saying well this 155 is a wonderful time thank you jack for 156 kicking him off finally he offended many 157 people if you're offended block it out 158 that's what I do to things that offend 159 me please don't interact with him you 160 can block the user or you can ignore the 161 user you can even insult the user if you 162 want Wow it's revolutionary it's almost 163 like adults are capable of having 164 differences of opinion without expecting 165 some third party without crying - mama 166 and papa 2d platformer them it's 167 actually possible to do if you're 168 mentally stable I'm getting the sneaking 169 suspicion some of these people aren't so 170 Twitter is telling me now for instance 171 let's say I'm out on the street pundits 172 are Stinney I see Bill O'Reilly hanging 173 out with Shepard Smith or or Anderson 174 Cooper's there I'm not allowed to go 175 over there and say haha look at the fake 176 news pundit because I'll get kicked off 177 of Twitter if somebody manages to get it 178 on an iPhone and slap it on Twitter 179 wonderful that's gonna be just wonderful 180 and look at all the other sites that 181 banned him off these sites be in tandem 182 he was banned by half a dozen sites they 183 used like three different explanations 184 none of which had to do with any legal 185 legalism a lot of people were saying 186 well it's because he's talking about you 187 know mass shootings being a hoax that's 188 not the the 189 athos that was given by any of these 190 companies not a single one even mention 191 it 192 Some of them openly disclaim that 193 YouTube said he was banned evading by 194 streaming on a secondary channel while 195 he was under a temporary suspension on 196 his first day oh he jumped the band 197 that's not allowed we're kicking you off 198 it for strikes already he should have 199 been kicked off weeks before but they 200 didn't want to do it they had to have a 201 different explanation for some odd 202 reason by the way why aren't you on bit 203 shoot why aren't you on gab why aren't 204 you on mines if you actually give a damn 205 and I know that there are more than a 206 few tens of thousands of Infowars fans 207 you should be following them everywhere 208 you don't have to like what Alex Jones 209 says he says kooky sometimes 210 although many of these things are part 211 of his persona you know what I think I 212 think that he was kicked off not just 213 because the Oliver dart scene daring 214 deigning to countermand what CNN would 215 say your fake news oh my god says Darcy 216 I felt offended and assaulted because 217 someone called me out for lying to 218 people now I think it had more to do 219 with Marco Rubio of all people did you 220 notice that yesterday Alex Jones was 221 headlining all over the place for 222 confronting Marco Rubio about the fact 223 that he didn't even know the 224 subject of the Intel committee hearing 225 he was currently attending he didn't 226 even know who Alex Jones was the man at 227 the center of the whole censorship 228 firestorm confronts him he doesn't even 229 know his name doesn't know what Infowars 230 is doesn't couldn't pick him out of a 231 crowd and I'm supposed to assume that 232 Congress is going to design good laws 233 with regards to technology keep people's 234 privacy safe from some foreign state 235 crackdown on election interference of 236 what everything I'm gonna do they 237 don't know from shinola they're not 238 going to do anything to keep us safer we 239 need to stop relying on Big Brother 240 which is usually big dumb 241 brother to keep us safe or to keep us 242 intellectually sheltered from things 243 that might offend or challenge our 244 worldview why don't you let us challenge 245 people's worldview people like me get 246 called Nazis for challenging the 247 world view of actual fascists on a 248 regular basis I've had my throat jumped 249 down by idiot pundits in some of these 250 screwball pages that I dwarf call 251 me a bigot call me an extremist for 252 calling out extremism 253 you talked to Richard Spencer and you 254 disagreed with what he said but you 255 didn't get red in the face and call him 256 names and get incoherent and hot under 257 the collar you didn't look like you were 258 totally off your rocker so you 259 must sympathize with it somehow oh and 260 you made a book review six years ago 261 meanwhile groups like CNN can literally 262 start wars and nobody gives a damn they 263 can report things that are blatantly 264 false nobody gives a damn nobody cares 265 when they say oh it'll be it'll be 266 wonderful this little short war we're 267 going to have it'll be wonderful this 268 foot this policy we're going to impose 269 them I kill a million people government 270 corruption now we won't even investigate 271 it you know what it is Alex Jones was 272 doing what these other pundits should be 273 doing get in somebody's face ask the 274 hard questions go up to a journalist and 275 tell him you're scumbag go up to a 276 politician and say hey hey how about 277 that wife you killed that time they 278 should have done that to Ted Kennedy 279 they should be do it yet they do it to 280 Trump plenty they don't do it to anybody 281 else 282 they don't question them they don't 283 conduct journalism so since our 284 corporate media that for so long was 285 tasked with doing so is unwilling and 286 unable to do its job expect the 287 independent media to do so and meanwhile 288 these jack boot licking morons will say 289 to you straight they'll do it with a 290 straight face it's the worst part they 291 actually believe this nonsense oh if you 292 don't like it it's the free market in 293 action not a free market build your own 294 website yes so that you can have your 295 payment processors attacked so that your 296 advertisers will be attacked so your 297 domain registrar will get goaded into 298 deep platforming you so every site can 299 remove every third party service from 300 your site until it's literally nothing 301 more than a stripped down 90s style pre 302 Drudge era looking skeleton of its 303 former self that can't even operate a 304 email feed that's totally a free 305 market of ideas your feel free to go on 306 this primitive dial-up hosted site from 307 some satellite launched from Morocco 308 because there's nowhere else in the 309 world that's willing to do it yeah feel 310 free to do so we're in a free country 311 free speech is very important unless 312 it's Alex Jones because he dared to 313 question CNN it's basically what I'm 314 learning from Silicon Valley and they 315 should know better 316 for years they did speak for free speech 317 they did speak out when the government 318 tried to spy on its users when the 319 government tried to ban all encryption 320 when the government tried to give him to 321 get him to give up personal info or to 322 adopt some stupid DMCA spin-off Palsy 323 SOPA and ACTA and PIPA and the 324 transatlantic I mean TPP all these 325 stupid things Silicon Valley's stood 326 against them time and time again they 327 even act if I activated the militia so 328 to speak there are big banners on sites 329 all across the internet to defeat these 330 things now they've just rolled over and 331 played dead they don't care about free 332 speech because they've been paid off 333 these people have been bought by the 334 corporate media and by our political 335 structure in some cases by a bunch of 336 foreign multi billionaires they bought 337 them completely they bought their stock 338 they invested in their companies gave 339 them some servers gives ya don't worry 340 aware your best friend in the world says 341 the corporate media is they pat YouTube 342 on the back and try to transform it from 343 a bunch of independent channels that 344 deliver independent interesting 345 independent content which is 346 independently made independently 347 financed and now they want to lay waste 348 to all of that rip it all apart and even 349 prevent people from making a living and 350 then these same stupid shills will come 351 along and they'll actually they'll 352 condemn you you make $10 a month off of 353 a couple of people donating to you oh 354 look you're making money for nothing how 355 greedy you are and the pundit gets seven 356 figures to lie up to people every single 357 night isn't independent is paid 358 by foreign nations in part that's okay 359 no outrage there whatsoever so I condemn 360 this completely all of these sites 361 should restore Infowars they should have 362 stood on principle in the prison bill 363 maher who's far left certainly way to 364 the far left of me he thinks that it's a 365 bad idea to ban Alex Jones yeah all 366 sorts of people even some of the 367 stand-up comedian some of these people 368 are so far left they Bernie Sanders look 369 like a reactionary they're calling it 370 out too you know at some point we should 371 probably listen to the voices of sanity 372 some of these people are only half 373 saying even they understand something is 374 desperately wrong when you have a 375 country that supposedly stands for the 376 principle not the legalistic concept but 377 the principle of free expression and 378 totally abandons it because 379 somebody got offended it's just like if 380 you hear something offensive 381 the radio turned the dial press the 382 little button listen to Sevilla oh that 383 rock song offended you because he said 384 dammit 385 listen to the pop station oh that that's 386 usually there's more dirty words and 387 that now than there is in rock music but 388 you know what I meant do you know what 389 I'm saying 390 seriously get a life and Jack should get 391 a life Twitter should get a life and 392 stop destroying its own platform like 393 this is gonna end well it's not gonna 394 alienate any of the people who were 395 already basically idea 396 Twitter's not as fun anymore maybe I'll 397 just leave the site Oh Alex Jones got by 398 you realize how many fans he has many 399 many millions that's about all 400 peace out Special bonus: Paul Joseph Watson, disinformation specialist, passing along the #Syria #Sarin Truther A-1 bullshit from Anonymous at Zero Hedge ...

When targets of bullying throw it back in the bullies faces, it's a big shock? They're not supposed to do that? That's the attitude that the old ladies in this clip had. They expect that others will not behave as they do. Why, it's unconscionable! Jones is becoming more and more entertaining. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more excuses. Styx finally has his shirt on! When I say the giant social media platforms are not strictly private property anymore because of their integration with the government, Styx lays out a really good case for this in this video. There's even more to it, but at least this is in plain language and it's really hard to refute. If taxpayers are footing the bill, they should not be selectively banned. Besides, didn't the courts say that President Trump could not ban offensive comments to his tweets (although that is a feature Twitter offers) because it was a public service or something like that? Well... Pandora's box is now open... On another note and in defense of Korben, I have to admit, the skull with an eyeball in it is an improvement over the scrawny chest. He's still gotta work on that John Lennon look, though. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can toggle on and off the timestamps on the auto-generated transcripts on YouTube videos. Fiddle with it and you will find it. (It's one of those three-vertical-dot drop-downs.) 2. If any video from Real.Video does not work, simply reload the OL page and it should work. I think there is a glitch with the ad at the beginning. But a page refresh fixes it.

Jonathan, He's always coming up with something. Do you remember the "Bill Clinton is a rapist" campaign? Alex offered cash prizes to people who got that message on live TV, whether spoken or visually like with a tee shirt or sign. Some of the most hilarious times happened during man-in-the-street interviews on CNN and MSNBC. The interviewer would ask a person waiting in line (for a sale or show or something) where they were fron, how long they had been there, etc. And they would get answers like (I'm making this one up, but there were many like it): "I'm from Gary, Indiana. It's great being here. (yada yada yada...) Yes, I've been in line for about 7 hours... I really look forward to getting in, but most of all, BILL CLINTON IS A RAPIST." Since it was live TV, they couldn't nix it. And there were many, many times this kind of thing happened. It got to the point where I saw Anderson Cooper in an outdoor shot once say, "It's one of those rapist people again," or something like that.

Thank you for sharing that tip with OLers -- I had forgotten about that vertical dot-dot-dot option for rendering automated transcripts (image below for the visually-minded). The 'numbered lines' plain text export option in my subtitle editor is I think a bit more readable than with full timecodes, at least for readers who skim and don't intend to watch the whole dang thing ... -- here's a small technical puzzle: how do Youtubers manage to put time-code URLs within their 'show notes'? I haven't figured that out yet. They look like this: 21:59 and allow you to jump to the various 'chapter headings' without leaving the Youtube page. One other technical note is that the Opera browser has a built-in subtitle-ripper-downloader. [Automated closed-captioning is fun for its errors. Did Musk really whip out a blonde?] [Added: I figgered out the time-code links in Shownotes/Video Descriptions ... see here for a horrible example. For those who would rather not watch my Mike Cernovich impersonation, it is dead simple. Simply type in the time in your description/shownotes, and Youtube takes care of the rest. For a video on how to do it, click here.] Edited September 7, 2018 by william.scherk Added solution to time-code in Video Descriptions/Shownotes | Musk-y odour of Marijuana!

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 3 hours ago, william.scherk said: ... in my subtitle editor... William, Cool. I haven't gotten around to a small hobby project of mine of doing lyrics videos for songs, but when I finally get around to it, this little thing will probably help a lot in conjunction with a video editor I got specifically for this hobby: YouTube MovieMaker. (There's a free version and a paid version. I like this thing so much, I bought it. ) Incidentally, here's a freebie tip from a course I paid for. If you ever want to use a music video for something like that (or rip the audio and insert your own images in a video editor and upload the video to your YT account), you can find out which songs are available copyright-wise by clicking on YouTube.com --> click on your image in the upper right to go to your account page --> Creator Studio --> Create --> Music Policies. There you can search for commercial songs and check their copyright status. It will tell you whether the song is available for YouTube videos or not. If it is not available, it will say so. If it is available, it will mostly say "Ads can appear," which means ads will run on the bottom of the video and the song rights owner, not you, will get the income. Instead of Music Policies, if you click Audio Library, you will get a list of music you can use without any restrictions on YouTube videos (including monetizing them yourself once you get approved), however it's indie stuff so it takes a lot of auditioning to find decent music. You can even use this music for your spoken own videos if you like (or during intros and outros if you ever get around to doing them). Anywho, after I learn the program, I think the opensource Subtitle Editor will run faster than the video editor for adjusting the lyrics and I can output a time-coded subtitle file, load it into the video editor's lyrics time code feature and tweak it if needed as I choose fonts, layout, etc., for the lyrics to appear jazzed up on screen. Thanks. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote 0 views InfoWars - Alex Jones Channel Published: 3 hours ago The globalist carbon tax scam and mockingbird media panic of global warming has been drilled into gullible minds since Al Gore’s massive exaggeration "An Inconvenient Truth" hit theaters twelve years ago.
