August 5, 2025 Steve Watson via Modernity.News 0
A shady government outfit in the UK that was previously tasked with identifying and monitoring COVID lockdown dissenters has been repurposed to spy on critics of mass migration and so called ‘asylum’ hotels, the Telegraph reports.The body, now known as the National Security and Online Information Team (NSOIT) has been lobbying social media companies such as TikTok to take action against users who post what it describes as “concerning narratives” about immigration and ‘two tier policing’. The unit operates within the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, and was previously known as the ‘Counter Disinformation Unit’ during the pandemic.

Welcome to the Land of the Free… Until You Express an Opinion

July 19, 2025 Mike Fairclough via The Daily Sceptic 0
This book also shines a light on the agenda behind the bullshit. It’s no accident that almost every government in the world has turned on its citizens at the same time.

Barack Obama Lets the Mask Slip Again

So there’s the left’s new plan, which is, predictably, same as the old plan: brand its opponents “hateful” and “polarizing,” and silence them accordingly. The chief flagship organizations of the left’s defamation industry, the Southern Poverty Law Center and the ADL, have been smearing patriots in this way for years. Obama wants to follow up these smears with a federal muzzle.
