Trump Putin and the Republican party
plan to rig the 2024 election
you know one of the big stories
yesterday in in a lot of the news
is
but by the way I I opened the article
today I'll get i'll get to where I was
going in just a second but I opened
today's article yes with a with a
reference to El Dorado uh yesterday uh
Nicholas down in Mexico who's also one
of the moderators in our chat room on
YouTube
um called in to talk to Congressman Mark
pocan and said you got to watch this new
movie on this new documentary it's not
even a documentary well it is a
documentary but it's like it's got
people acting the roles of the the real
people from the 1920s and 1930s in
Germany it's called El Dorado
and so you know I made a note and last
night Louise and I watched it before we
went to bed and holy cow
you've got to see this movie El Dorado
over on Netflix I mean you've just got
to see it and when you see it the rant
that I'm about to share with you will
take on a whole new meaning
so back to my rant uh which is you know
today's piece it's titled how Trump
Putin and the GOP plan to rig the 2024
election question mark
and one of the big stories yesterday was
that this judge
a trump appointed judge down in
Louisiana uh kind of a crackpot Q Anon
guy I mean back in 2021 he was the guy
who put a a federal hold on Health
Facilities requiring their employees to
be vaccinated against covid during a
pandemic
this is a this is a vaccine denier this
is a this is a mask denier this is a you
know this is one of the coveted this
this guy's a crackpot this judge I mean
he appears to be otherwise a you know a
reasonably well qualified judge but
somehow you know that brain worm got in
is got inside his head and and ate up
his frontal lobes or something
is is Louisiana District Judge Terry
Doty d-o-u-g-h-t-y
uh in fact in three cases in 2021 he
went as so far as to falsely claim that
quote uh vaccines do not prevent
transmission of the disease and quote
the virus is achieved immune escape from
covid-19 vaccines
right in other words you're true
um so he also uh in one of his decisions
cited an attack on Dr fauci
the attack being that fauci had said
hydroxychloroquine doesn't cure covid
which is true
and the judge cited that attack on fauci
for saying that
um basically agreeing with the premise
that hydroxychloroquine does cure covet
so we got this crackpot judge and the
judge ruled
and he issued this ruling uh Tuesday on
the fourth of July because he's such a
patriot right
uh he issued this ruling
saying that
the administration
the bite Administration our government
from literally they named Joe Biden but
they also named people all the way down
the chain the FBI CDC uh uh just a a
handful of agencies and individuals and
dozens and dozens of actual individuals
are enjoined
from talking to social media
organizations
now why well in his ruling he says that
the Administration has been gauging in
widespread censorship and that the
censorship included and I I'm quoting
from his ruling here uh these were
things that he says were censored by by
the Biden Administration quote
opposition to the validity in the 2020
election
opposition to President Biden's policies
statements that the hunter Biden laptop
story was true and opposition to
policies of the government officials in
power
so in other words he's he's coming out
and saying that the the bite
Administration is doing political
censorship
he goes on to say all these stories were
suppressed it is quite telling that each
example or category of suppressed speech
was conservative in nature this targeted
suppression of conservative ideas is a
perfect example of viewpoint
discrimination to political speech
you know he's he's just
being careful with his words I mean he
goes on to say the evidence produced
thus far depicts an almost dystopian
scenario the United States government
seems to have assumed a role similar to
an orwellian Ministry of Truth
right here we are living in 1984 right
or at least living in the novel
so this 155-page ruling all these people
and all these agencies quote are hereby
and joined and restrained from taking
the following actions as to social media
companies one meeting with social media
companies for the purpose of urging
encouraging pressuring or inducing in
any way the removal deletion suppression
or reduction of content quite quite
Quack and it goes through nine different
things you can't meet with them you
can't flag content you can't urge uh the
content be removed you may not email
call send letters or engage in any
communication of any kind with social
media companies you may not collaborate
coordinate partner switchboard or
jointly work with the election Integrity
partnership the virality project or the
Stanford internet Observatory these are
you know debunked lies organizations
uh you may not uh take any action such
as urging encouraging pressuring or
inducing in any manner social media
companies you know goes on and on like
this right and and the threat is federal
prison
now these are agencies that you know
were that did tell social media
companies Twitter Facebook Etc
that lies about covet we're killing
people and in fact we now know that the
lies about covet that were promulgated
mostly by Russia here in the United
States uh but you know also by by
Republicans but you know the big push
appears to have come from Russia through
the internet research agency
that these lies caused at least an
additional half million unnecessary
American deaths
on top of that there were lies about the
2020 election being stolen and all and
which was also being promoted by Russia
and you know and I mentioned yesterday
the the one of the the major Russian
effort in 2016 micro targeting uh black
people on Facebook in particular
although across social media with
information that Paul manafort was
funneling directly to Vladimir Putin's
intelligence services
to say both parties are the same don't
bother to vote
which appears to have effectively
suppressed the vote in some of these
states and may have been responsible for
handing the election off to Donald Trump
there are there's a debate about that
and I'm not going to get in the middle
of that debate but you know there is no
doubt that this was what Russia was
doing and this was their main message
and you know as we repeated over and
over again
so here now comes this judge saying if
there is some kind of a campaign
targeting a group of Americans now my
guess is this time around in 2024
they're not going to be targeting black
people saying you know both parties are
the same I you know I think that's kind
of old news I think this time the what
they're going to be doing is identifying
people who are most likely homophobes
and they're going to be slandering uh
the the queer Community they're going to
be going after you know particularly
trans people but also gays and lesbians
and this is where uh I opened today's
article with a paragraph saying you need
to watch this documentary on Netflix
El Dorado
because it's about how the Nazis first
they came for the gays
and in a big way I know I've written
about this before I wrote an op-ed about
this maybe five six months ago I had not
seen the documentary the documentary
backs up everything I wrote and more and
I I think probably I should take that
documentary and reprise it but serious
stuff so what's going on here well it
looks to me like what's going on here is
this judge is Paving the way for the
Republican party and and Putin
to come up with a new big lie promote it
like crazy via social media using the
algorithms to amplify it
and forbidding our government from
notifying anybody essentially that these
are lies
what do you think
