That’s largely because attitudes to Trump fall into two camps, and they are almost irreconcilable. The first camp includes almost every Irish journalist, and […]
The New York Post is the third largest domestic newspaper in the United States by circulation. It’s a tabloid, founded in 1801, and could best be described as sort of an American equivalent to The Sun. A tabloid, but a real newspaper – not comedy publication like, say, the National Enquirer. Yesterday it ran a […]
One of the aspects of the 2018 referendum which Jonathon Van Maren’s book Patriots recalls is the extraordinary role played not only by a massively biased main stream media, but by the social media sites. Evidence from other countries prove that we are not alone in facing this monster. Realising that they were losing the intellectual battle, the pro-abortion […]
Extraordinary: https://twitter.com/TwitterSafety/status/1275500569940176897 The background to this: Some weeks ago, anarchist protestors in Seattle set up what they called an “autonomous zone” – basically their own independent quasi-country, in the city. Two nights ago, protestors in Washington DC threatened to do the same. Trump was having none of it. Twitter says that Trump’s tweet constituted a […]
US President Trump has just signed an executive order to reign in social media companies like Twitter from censoring their political opponents. The level of censorship against conservative and pro-life people on social media in the last few years has been clear to everyone with eyes. Most people by now have at least heard stories […]
The largest representative student organisation in Ireland, the Union of Students Ireland, has re-elected Lorna Fitzpatrick as president. Fitzpatrick, 26, was elected yesterday with 193 votes after running unopposed for the position. Her re-election comes mere months after the Burkean’s “Antifa Project” exposé, where student journalists posed as members of a radical Left group, Irish […]
China is now censoring news reports that discuss the controversial national security legislation currently being debated in the National People’s Congress, an entity which largely acts to rubber stamp the decisions of the leadership of the CCP. The legislation aims to crack down on “treason, secession, sedition, and subversion” within Hong Kong, and would allow […]
YouTube has taken down a video discussion with Professor Karol Sikora, who headed the WHO’s Cancer Program between 1997 and 1999 and who currently leads the University of Buckingham’s medical school, in which the Professor discussed the appropriate response to Covid-19. In the interview Professor Sikora talked about herd immunity, and said he estimated up […]
United States President Donald Trump has asserted that social media platforms including Facebook and Twitter are under control of the radical left – and that his Administration is working to remedy what he described as an illegal situation. “The Radical Left is in total command & control of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Google. The Administration […]
There was a time when Youtube and other big tech companies justified their censorship of various opinions and views on the basis that unqualified people really shouldn’t be challenging scientists. That has now been taken a step further: Scientists shouldn’t be challenging science. Dave Cullen, the Youtuber who interviewed Cahill in the first place, is […]
YouTubers are being silenced if they don’t agree with the United Nations on public health. As The Verdict reports: YouTube will ban any content containing medical advice that contradicts World Health Organisation (WHO) coronavirus recommendations, according to CEO Susan Wojcicki. Wojcicki announced the policy on CNN on Sunday. WHO is an agency of the UN, charged with […]
