The plan is simple: 1. Vilify all journalism as "fake news" 2. Insist a billionaire's social media platform is the "real" media 3. Rig that platform's algorithm to shadowban journalism & amplify propaganda that depicts billionaire-enriching policy as "populism for the people"

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

Let this be a lesson to the masses about doublethink in practice. The ADL has been a shield for the fascism of zionists, disguised by the optics of combating anti-senitism. Its not a new development, but the picture only becomes clearer for the hold-outs and apologists.

It’s truly amazing that over the past few weeks, Americans have come together, not as Democrats or Republicans, but as working class people, to agree that the U.S. for-profit healthcare is deeply damaging to us. Meanwhile, neither party is addressing it.
