The Real Reason The US Wants To Ban TikTok (Palantir, Media Control)

“Lobby in a sec, but I also want to highlight that Gallagher’s biggest owner in the past election cycle has been Palantir, the software company literally named after an evil orb used by dark forces to spy on people. It shouldn’t surprise you that Palantir, founded by the notorious Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel, worked with the NSA to create the most comprehensive digital espionage apparatus ever conceived. Palantir was co-created with American spies; one of its earliest investors was the CIA, and the company will not disclose any of its contracts with the government despite making over a billion dollars from these clandestine partnerships.

Forgive me if I’m just a little skeptical about the intentions of this anti-spying bill, given that its main sponsor is funded by the world’s largest spying machine.”

“Don’t just take it from me, here’s some leaked audio from a phone call with ADL Chief Executive Jonathan Greenblatt:

“But I also want to point out that we have a major, major, major generational problem. All the polling I’ve seen—ADL’s polling, ICC’s polling, independent polling—suggests this is not a left-right gap, folks. The issue in the United States and support for Israel is not left and right, it is young and old. And so, we really have a TikTok problem, the challenge problem that our community needs to put the same brains that gave us Taglit, the same brains that gave us all these other amazing innovations, we need to put our energy toward this, like, fast. Because, again, like we’ve been chasing this left-right divide, it’s the wrong game. The game of the next generation.””

“We saw Hillary Clinton get up before a congressional committee and say the U.S. is losing the information war. I didn’t know it was a war. I thought information was something to enlighten people, not to capture them, envelop them, and indoctrinate them with.

She started talking about Russia Today, France 24, Al Jazeera, and then she said almost shrilly, “China is building a global news network in English!” I thought that would be interesting. We’ll get another perspective, coverage of stories that weren’t covered before, and another viewpoint to compare with the ones we’ve been fed from the beginning. But she sees it as a threat.

There’s what the Empire is about: controlling people everywhere, at home and abroad, giving them as little as possible so that the few at the top get as rich as possible. The hungrier and poorer you are, the harder you’ll work for less and less.

That’s what the world is all about, unfortunately.

For you to think our leaders are stupid, or that the people who own this world and have built hundreds of military bases are stupid, is to be a bit stupid yourself. If you think your leader is stupid because he mispronounces words, you’re being stupid. If you think your leader is enlightened and intelligent, and has your interests at heart because he speaks smoothly and articulately, you’re being stupid also.

The author of the main video uses Israel and Gaza as examples of narratives they need to control. I would like to remind you of another one and its letter from Osama bin Laden. Some people may remember not long ago teens found about a letter from Osama bin Laden that he wrote after 9/11. It was also spreading through TikTok:

The controversy over TikTok and Osama bin Laden’s “Letter to America,” explained

Why bin Laden’s 2002 letter became the latest TikTok moral panic.

Like Hillary said: “U.S. is losing the information war.”

“The basic distortions in the media are not innocent errors, for they are not random; rather they move in the same overall direction again and again, favoring management over labor, corporatism over anti-corporatism, the affluent over the poor, private enterprise over socialism, Whites over Blacks, males over females, officialdom over protesters, conventional politics over dissidence, anticommunism and arms-race militarism over disarmament, national chauvinism over internationalism, US dominance of the Third World over revolutionary or populist nationalist change. The press does many things and serves many functions but its major role, its irreducible responsibility, is to continually recreate a view of reality supportive of existing social and economic class power.”
― Michael Parenti, Inventing Reality: The Politics of News Media

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” ― George Orwell, 1984

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” ― George Orwell, 1984
