Bourbon & Bullets

Well so much for Minds.com being a bastion of free speech, it turns out they are in fact complete frauds. Supported by big libertarian Youtubers, Sargon of Akkad, Bearing and Computing Forever, to name just a few, it was supposed to be the answer to Facebook and Twitters  growing censorship of anything non-feminist, non-SJW or non-pro Islam. The site 'rewards' users for activity (quotes because the reward is debatable) and has billed itself as the Internet's most open and accepting social media platform. That is until you get banned from it. I was very active on the site  early this morning (Feb 24) but by late afternoon as unable to log back in. Apparently Minds.com, the most open and accepting social media platform on the Internet, has it's limits too. Those limits would be videos critical of Islam, sigh, how predictable. So how do users like Atheism is Unstoppable continue to use the site? I suppose because he has a great deal of followers. Minds.com doesn...

HATE CRIES Hurty Words, Killy Words by David Cole   February 16, 2017 Multiple Pages photo credit: Bigstock The hellstorm of protests that greeted Milo Yiannopoulos on the UC Berkeley campus wasn’t nearly as disheartening as the flood of pro-censorship op-eds that poured from the pages of the  Daily Cal  newspaper in the days that  followed . The anti-Milo riots could (in theory) be dismissed as the work of “outside agitators.” But the op-eds? No way can they be seen as anything other than the sincere feelings of actual Berkeley students.

These soft-skulled millennial simpletons are told by their professors every day that  “facts” ar...

ISIS can still recruit followers to their terrorist organization on social media sites, but Breitbart tech editor, Milo Yianopoulos is banned from Twitter because he said Leslie Jones looks like a man (and honestly, raise your hand if you disagree). This was the first shot across the bow in the war on alternative news, which in the face of the MSM liberal colossus, has become the default voice of the right/libertarians. Now, however, government has decided the warning shots didn't work, if anything it only seemed to provoke those pesky free speech advocates demanding their Constitutional rights. So how to get around the First Amendment or Canada's less stringent, but still constitutionally protected right to free speech? The answer has become 'fake news.' Originally the government (i.e former U.S administration under Obama, state and local governments and federal, provincial and municipal governments in Canada) had tried to suppress free speech under hate laws.
