I love you, Morg, but you're wrong. 1% of the bill may be about criticism of Israel. Read the bill carefully. It means Biden, without congressional approval, can ban ANY website from being available in America.
Oh, I don't doubt that it's designed to censor other sites, whiskeys. But did you watch the Greenwald report? Click the link, it takes you right to where he covers what the motivation is that got the bill moving so fast through congress.
Go ahead, watch it. You'll see where I'm coming from after you see his report.
I must take a shower and do a few other things, but post back after you watch that segment of Greenwald's. Israel is what has lit the fire under the congress's ass, but it happens that their interests coincide with Biden's.
I watched. I still think the far more dangerous part of the Bill is that the president (any president) can decide to control what Americans see on the Internet.
Also wondering why the vast majority of Republicans are functionally illiterate. It's a short Bill. Yet only 15 of them voted against? Nobody said 'we should take this all-encompassing power to the president out?
Your uniparty at work, I guess.
Israeli lobby wanting to ban tiktok? Probably.
Hey, I'm Jewish and even I know Israel is up to something. Why else have the surveillance balloons pulled from the wall hours before the attack? Why tell the army to stand down during the first seven hours? Why the hell didn't they pay attention to all the warnings from Egypt?
All I know for certain is that the Israeli government lies, and so does Hamas.
Ghaa!
So that's where I am. More concerned about overreaching executive authority. That the entire Congress seems to be fine with
I understand and I agree with you that the bill is dangerous, and not just to TikTok. But my point was about what moved it so fast (in roughly 8 days it went through the house and that is fast!) and that was the anti-Israel content on TikTok.
I don't doubt though that it's also a trojan horse to give Biden the power to censor other platforms. In this case, it's sort of a two-fer for the pro-zionist dems and republicans who voted for it.
As to what happens in the senate, I do not know. But I hope it is defeated. If it is not then Substack will be on their hit list for sure at some point.
Hitting the nail on the head, as usual. Thank you for having the courage to openly identify those who we are not allowed to criticize. This discussion is essential for any progress to be made on this front.
You are welcome, Taiga. Everyone is fair game for criticism. Ohio Barbarian restacked my article and reminded me that Zionist Christians also play a part in pushing the TikTok ban. I had forgotten them completely when I wrote the article.
I think that jews in general have a problem operating in Chinese society. They look too different from the Chinese, so they cannot "blend in" so to speak. Neither can others, for that matter. The Han Chinese are by far the dominant group in China, and you are either Han Chinese or you are not really a part of their society.

Cos they may be 'engaged with foreign agents'.
Russia, Russia, Russia!
Just before the election. How convenient.
That's my take.

Definitely the bigger picture, like an internet version of the Patriot Act.

👍Tikkun olam
Disagree. It is about the national security state amassing more power. It is ALWAYS about power and money.
That is also part of it, but that is not what got it moved through the house so fast. See my comment above to whiskeys.
South Africa is under a lot of pressure because of its genocide case to the ICJ but IT'S NOT BEING REPORTED ON. So I wrote something that's still insidiously crawling between my skull and brain - https://www.mikehampton.co.uk/p/who-controls-south-africa-part-1-brenthurst
"Is everybody who criticizes Israel or who simply points out what Israel is doing without any direct criticism an “antisemite?”"
Yes, apparently
I find it amusing that the only people not to "bow down" to the Jews are the Chinese Communists.
I think that jews in general have a problem operating in Chinese society. They look too different from the Chinese, so they cannot "blend in" so to speak. Neither can others, for that matter.

Also both have the same modus operandi and so dislike the competition
