He did contradict himself, I thought, or backtracked a little on music's power. I liked his take on the axis around human rights - partisan or universal. Maybe that is becoming a more a more useful yardstick, if we still need to go down the route of polarities?

Sultana’s first interview re new party expresses a strong opinion that the party should be called ‘The Left Party’. This would miss an opportunity for much broader appeal. What they stand for goes way beyond tired divisions left v right. Division. Let's seek the common ground.

WE WON! The Supreme Court has upheld the right to wild camp on Dartmoor. This is a huge win for access to nature. But we're just getting started. It was never just about Dartmoor. We’re fighting to extend the right to roam, swim, and sleep under the stars - across all of England.

The key is perhaps to avoid the labelling and step outside the ‘pro-this’ and ‘anti-that’ tags and realise that there is often nuanced viewpoint which can be viewed through various lenses? As we saw in the Covid days any number of tactics can be applied to how data is presented or ignored…

And now this media manipulation: “The Metropolitan police, with assistance of obedient media like the Guardian and BBC, are trying to frame as lawbreakers the organisers of the latest London rally against Israel’s genocide in Gaza and Britain’s complicity in it.” open.substack.com/pub/jonathan...

Of course it’s not, but it plays into the field and any student of sociology or media will confirm how the news agenda is skewed. I haven’t got time to chase friends for further Facebook evidence so thanks for the chat, let’s keep in touch and fully hear each others viewpoint as we’re doing here.

Of the course the BBC will gun for him as he is speaking out and questioning the narrative. Just as the Guardian does. Dive into any of his episodes and you will see ‘facts’ galore from official data.

100

Pete Lawrence @petelawrence.net · 18/01/2025

His broadcasts aren’t so much about his views. Mire that he’s making data available (usually from official sources such as governments and health authorities) that many other channels aren’t reporting. He’s not claiming to be ibfallible, more trying to make sense and spot trends.

Yes, just collating. Meanwhile, this new John Campbell video (6:15 in) alarmingly highlights that 74% of those stuck at home with vaccine injuries were censored as they tried to get support online youtu.be/lYkUjbixHLI?...

I don’t keep these sort of records. I will see what can be recalled but some of it was four years ago and some was related to ringing alarm bells around eg early stories told by the vaccine-injured. Some friends were getting bans or suspensions for nothing Covid-related, just algorithmic meltdown…

Pete Lawrence @petelawrence.net · 14/01/2025

Many examples at the time. Some of us warning that the medical interventions had potentially harmful consequences, perhaps linking to a Dr John Campbell video, even a government update. I had friends dying suddenly of heart attacks, clots, strokes, turbo cancer... all censored by Facebook...

"Jim Jordan in the house had this whole investigation and these documents and emails are all in the public domain. The Biden administration called our team and screamed at them, cursing… It just got to this point where we said we’re not going to take down things that are true."

Pete Lawrence @petelawrence.net · 14/01/2025

Then Biden gave a press conference where he said ‘These guys are killing people’ and then all these agencies and branches of government investigated coming after our company. It was brutal. 3.2 billion use fb daily. Moderating at scale is insane…"

Pete Lawrence @petelawrence.net · 14/01/2025

"The people in the Biden administration pushed us super hard to take down things that were proven true. They said that with anything that says that vaccines might have side effects, you basically need to take down. My response was well, we’re not going to do that."

Pete Lawrence @petelawrence.net · 14/01/2025

"There was a virus that seemed like it was killing a lot of people. We didn’t know at the time how dangerous it was going to be. So we showed some deference to the health authorities. I’m pretty pro rolling out vaccines but in pushing their programmes they were censoring anyone arguing against it."

Pete Lawrence @petelawrence.net · 14/01/2025

"It started getting like 1984. There was so much erosion of trust and I realised we’d have to start changing it. Covid was the other big one. In the beginning it was like a legitimate public health crisis and even people who were very pro first amendment were saying …."

Pete Lawrence @petelawrence.net · 14/01/2025

Yes, it's all about taking away to right to question. I've been through the podcast and found these lines to quote "We faced this massive massive institutional pressure to start to censor content on ideological grounds. The FBI tried to take down things that were real to limit the exposure.." 1
