Very true. Glenn Greenwald makes a similar point about MSM news programs: they do things like "report" that the Hunter Biden laptop was fake, then never issue a retraction after it's conclusively proven to be authentic, because their viewers value the fake narrative more than the unpleasant truth. It's irritating to have to take the high road in response, and (in most cases) not try to criminalize their constant lying, especially when they don't return the favor if they think we're spreading "disinformation", but in the end we have to trust that truth will win over falsehood when the two stand side by side.

Thx Barry for pulling all this together. It makes it easier for me to share with loved ones. I have been doing extensive research on my “high cholesterol” for a few years now. After cutting much out of my life, including losing weight, exercising, diet, etc; my cholesterol remains slightly high (as it has for the last 25+ years). Mercola’s work has helped me understand how genetics can play a role in this, and the dangers of statins. So very cool for me to be able to feast on this information and so much more in my favorite reading chair.

The most recent MN legislature has passed a law to “… track hate” in our lovely state (https://www.kare11.com/article/news/politics/minn-lawmakers-want-to-track-racial-incidents/89-546d6382-1695-4ef2-8355-5e01887c2d99). This means that somehow, someway, some board or somebody must judge what hate is. Then a database shall be maintained that logs the perpetrator. I can’t even begin to imagine what this could and would lead to. Know that other articles have indicated that somebody will be looking at social media posts and judging whether those are considered a “hate post“ or similar. I’ll stop right there and let your mind wrestle with this a bit.

Peace and blessings my friend!
