PayPal's bans are a form of censorship, put some businesses at risk, digital privacy advocate says | Fox News:
PayPal's purported content-based bans raise additional concerns about Big Tech's control over free speech, a digital privacy advocate told Fox News.
"For a decade I've been watching content moderation at the platform level go terribly awry," Corynne McSherry, the legal director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital rights group, told Fox News. "Now, more and more we're watching the same problems … in other parts of the internet stack."
"It's not just PayPal," McSherry continued. "Several of the major payment processors have been playing an increasing role in policing online speech."

Who benefits when black people are encouraged to be unfit/obese?-----Is it coordinated? Time Magazine calls exercise "White Supremacist"
Is it coordinated? Time Magazine calls exercise "White Supremacist""...Yesterday I wrote a piece about Scientific American’s rather odd republishing through tweet of an article originally published in 2020. Now one day later Time Magazine is promoting an article that argues that exercise has White supremacist roots. Two can be a coincidence, of course, but this is one hell of a coincidence...
- In it, the author argued that the medical establishment and our society as a whole stigmatizes obesity because Black women are the most obese demographic in America.
- People can be “healthy at any size,” and focusing on obesity as a health problem is racist.

Who Is Sending Mad Stacks of U.S. Hundred-Dollar Bills to the Taliban?
Who Is Sending Mad Stacks of U.S. Hundred-Dollar Bills to the Taliban? - BY ROBERT SPENCER 
"Da Afghanistan Bank, Afghanistan’s Taliban-controlled central bank, tweeted the images on Nov. 29, Dec. 5, Dec. 6, and last Wednesday: massive stacks of American hundred-dollar bills, wrapped in plastic, bar-coded, and placed in boxes or blue plastic bags on the tarmac at the Kabul airport.
The bank said this was $40 million in “humanitarian aid,” but said nothing about who had sent it.
One observer says that judging from the photos, there looks to be much more than $40 million flowing into the Taliban’s coffers.
So who is funding the Taliban with tens of millions in untraceable cash?...

We are paying a heavy price for our elites’ green fantasies
- Decades of failed energy policies came home to roost this year.
Parts of London were just inches away from running out of power back in the summer.
The National Grid, out of sheer desperation, was forced to fork out an astonishing £9,700 per megawatt hour to secure emergency supplies from abroad – over 5,000 per cent the usual price.
That close shave with a blackout was the energy crisis in a microcosm...

Rep. Ted Lieu gets fact-checked hard over the Twitter Files - Louder With Crowder:
It isn't the first time Ted Lieu has been busted spreading misinformation. Only the first time the shame and embarrassment caused him to delete his tweet.
To set the stage, Joe Biden got sworn in and his first order of business was yelling at Big Tech companies to censor opinions he didn't like.

BEWARE: Biden Admin Labels Anything Against Child Gender Mutilation 'Misinformation' - Todd Starnes"President Biden’s transgender assistant health secretary, Dr. Rachel Levine, pushed for Big Tech to censor “health misinformation” about minors getting their bodies mutilated in the name of “gender-affirming care.”
- Levine, a biological male who identifies as a woman, went viral Monday for a video urging health officials to pressure tech companies to crack down on anything that doesn’t align with the “health equity of sexual and gender minorities,” including “puberty blockers, Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists, and gender-affirming hormones.”...

Klaus Schwab's makes comments on revolutionizing education - Louder With Crowder
Klaus Schwab's makes comments on revolutionizing education - Louder With Crowder:
Klaus Schwab, a global lobbyist, unelected to anything, has his hands in "practically all the big" corporations to retrain teachers and put a new global education curriculum in place. He doesn't say the word "indoctrinate," but feel free to draw your own conclusions. Schwab's comments are so alarming that Elon Musk -- who for all the leftist attacks on billionaires, seems to be the only one NOT on their side -- was taken aback.
New Twitter Files Reveal Troubling Effort to Censor Trump for Encouraging American People About COVID
New Twitter Files Reveal Troubling Effort to Censor Trump for Encouraging American People About COVID - By Nick Arama 
"...(Twitter exec.) Baker wanted to go after a tweet from President Donald Trump that was trying to be encouraging to the American people about COVID, “Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life,” Trump declared.
This was right as he was getting out of the hospital from having COVID himself. Trump went on to say that they had developed some great drugs and knowledge to deal with the virus.
- To Baker, Trump speaking out against fear and being encouraging to America was bad, and the equivalent of misinformation.
They wanted us to be afraid...
