The Death Of Free Speech: Twitter Ramps Up ‘Censorship’ Of “Hate Facts”

Authored by Mac Slavo via SHTFplan.com,

Twitter is banning conservatives and others who don’t subscribe to the leftist mentality plaguing social media. Using the excuse that people are posting “hate facts,” the social media outlet is just shutting down accounts that post any truth that doesn’t fare well for the liberal agenda.

By now, it should be well understood that the terms “hate facts” and “hate speech” are nothing more than buzzwords used by the left as an excuse to suppress the speech of those with which they disagree. This is becoming more and more apparent as we devolve quickly toward a fully totalitarian system too.

MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia is not in talks with the Syrian government about supplying advanced S-300 ground-to-air missiles and does not think they are needed, the Izvestia daily cited a top Kremlin aide as saying on Friday, in an apparent U-turn by Moscow.

USD weakness be damned

You have modest wishes!

I’m hoping for a “tear your face off life changer” rally! 🙂

three full days in a row on the Kitco charts wherein there is no downward plunge to make an intersection of two daily lines.  Will this item from my bucket list be achieved today for the 3-day silver chart?

I guess in many ways, the bulls have the evidence of their models’ price series on their side. But at the risk of going out on a limb, I think the general calm has something to do with not understanding the risks, a strong dose of complacency born from experience over the last decade and everything to do with the 10-year Treasury yield having stopped exactly where bulls were praying it would.

My guess is that as long as it stays below the well-advertised 3.04% yield, the working assumption is that it will do no harm. And foreign buyers may very well continue to be satisfied with concession-enhanced pricing.

I would, however, remind you to re-read the last comments from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell on the subject of U.S. monetary policy and emerging markets. What he said probably shouldn’t be taken as throw-away lines. It doesn’t sound like his reaction function to non-domestic issues will match up neatly with what investors have gotten used to.

And while we like the fantasy of emerging markets being sanguine with higher rates and dollar, we know in our hearts it isn’t true.

Exposures by both investors and borrowers have only been growing. Something to at least consider as we watch assets try to go back off to the races.

That “huge steam explosion” thing is based on history in 1924 it happened.  (No damage, no deaths)  They studied it, and learned that it could happen again under the present conditions at Halemaumau crater at the summit.   NOT out at the lava fissures at Leilani.  As a result of this knowledge, the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is closed now indefinitely until conditions are safer.   They don’t want tourists standing a few hundred yards from the crater IF it blows.  Major parts of the island are NOT going to ‘blow up’.

When the crater blows, it is a 1000 ft hole going off like a cannon, so it puts up a high plume.  The prevailing tradewinds carry the ashfall southwest into the Ka’u Desert area, which is unpopulated wilderness area.  The village of Volcano is only 2500 residents, and is located several miles upwind of the crater and park area.  The only way the village would get ashfall is in a specific, narrow, back-wind situation which rarely happens.  Never the less, the residents have been apprised of the situation and can either stay or go as they please.  Mandatory evacuations are not warranted.  Know the risks… take responsibility for yourself.

Most of the Volcanos National Park is wilderness lands where the volcano has played in the past.  Vast tracts of lava and desert.  The volcano is only national news now because some idiots built houses atop a known eruptive zone that does not happen to be inside the park boundaries.

Bannish this phoney under what ever religious rock he crawled from.

You know nothing about the volcano.  This is the most studied and well known volcano in the world, wired for data and watched by USGS teams for years and years.  We know the risks.  We know the danger zones.  We live with it.   News media overplays the ‘doom porn’ aspects of it all.

Krakatoa was a deep subduction volcano on a fault line.  The whole pacific ‘ring of fire’ is like that.  Hawaii is a shield volcano.  A hot magma spot that bubbles up slowly and builds a mountain ‘shield’ as it overflows the top.  Hawaii does not have the deep explosive power of a subduction zone.   Our steam explosions are relatively local crustal effects.   Still can be large and hazardous for miles around from the fallout, though!  People in Volcano village near the summit have been advised to beware of potential ash fall from the crater.   “Be ready to get under an overhead shelter”  Some of that ‘ash fall’ can be several pound chunks!  🙂

I hope the “Krakatoa Effect” doesn’t happen to the big island. That superheated steam takes no prisoners.

He is a great American hero and Medal of Honor winner.  He served during a period mainly in the 1920s and early 1930s in Latin America.  Marines call that period the “Banana Wars”.  The Banana Wars were the occupations, police actions, and interventions on the part of the United States in Central America and the Caribbean between the end of the Spanish–American War in 1898 and the inception of the Good Neighbor Policy in 1934.

However, this was before World War II.  The Marines, and other servicemen that fought that war fought against fascism. In 1935, in his book War is a Racket, he denounced the role he had played, describing himself as “a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers…a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism”.

You can read the information for yourself, there is certainly some truth, to what General Butler said about some of the things he saw.  But not in total.

doing a campaign style speech.

Slams Iran deal,  praises the new embassy in Jerusalem.

All good.

“I served in all commissioned ranks from a second Lieutenant to a Major General. And during that time, I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street, and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism.

A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses.”

PAAS was up over 10 and a half percent….I wish I had some of that. AG was up 5 and a half percent.  Sabena SGSVF was up 4.6% and I have a bunch of that.  It was a good day, and more are coming.

It’s just a matter of time before phizzzz gets real tight……fighting billions of buyers is a mugs game.

I think the Hawaiian State Government is whistling past the graveyard.  Nobody know what mother nature is up to and a massive volcanic eruption is not beyond possibility.  I think that mandatory evacuations should begin within 10 miles from the current lava flows to the safer parts of the island. One of the big dangers now is the underground water mixing in with the lava that can cause explosive outburst that can blast huge rocks very far.   Besides the threat of volcanic activity is the threat of massive landslides that could see part of the island slide into the sea.  The Island of Hawaii really is just a big mountain coming up from the ocean floor.  It would not be the first time.  I think too many people are getting a false sense of security by watching the slow moving lava.  You cannot outrun an explosion.

I hope they get funding and do the” right thing ” helping the people with all that will go wrong including the water maybe even put up temporary housing.Send in trailers or something. Most as you know have no insurance.

He’s working on it. Meanwhile they are reacting a lot from firms asked from them by few patriot congress left because it makes them look bad and hiding it like Hillary did. That’s what they’re really worried about and fighting so hard.
Muller ran out of options so will now try to question Trump under oath and mostly questions he has no authority to ask a sitting president who has the power i.e. To hire fire who he wants. Example why did you fire leaker “I added leaker” as what were you thinking. None of his business as if he didn’t know. He has no authority to even ask.
He’s going to attempt to trip him up so he can make up a he lied under oath so they can move to impeach. Last ditch and hope he takes his lawyers advice NOT to speak to him. Litigate it all the way to the finish of his next election and find away to fire The whole lot of them. Some of those people were behind the dossier. Talking about conflict of interest. All were Hillary donors. Wonder why,
