Trump, the US Capitol, and control over social media
I was re-reading a blog post written by me in mid-2018, after I was expelled from Twitter: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/05/20/social-media-and-political-influence/. I followed that up a few months later: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/08/16/twittering-to-the-birds/.
I see no reason to disagree with any of the above. In fact, what I saw happening then —Twitter (etc) expulsions, suspensions, censorship, shadowbanning— has intensified since then. The latest news is that Twitter has actually suspended, for 12 hours, the Twitter account of Donald Trump, the current President of the United States! Facebook has done the same or similar.
Those who have read my tweets will be aware that I have never had much time for Trump, though I wanted him to beat Hillary Clinton in 2015 because that ghastly bitch was pushing (as NWO/ZOG puppet) for conflict and indeed war with Russia.
Trump was the prisoner of the Jew-Zionist lobby, as are all US presidents (certainly since Kennedy), and since his election he has become little more than a squawking parrot in a gilded cage.
Still, Trump is for the moment the President of that great and greatly-flawed superpower, and for a mere commercial quasi-monopoly to purport to censor the American head of state is stunningly dystopian.
As to the events themselves, and to borrow, appropriately, the McDonald’s slogan, “I’m lovin’ it“!
I love seeing and hearing the outrage of all the NWO/ZOG puppets and hypocrites: Macron, Boris-idiot etc.
An evening foray
Yesterday was first day of the latest disastrous “lockdown”. Went mid-evening to my local supermarket, a Waitrose. Roads almost empty going there (less than 2 miles), and even less busy on the return journey.
Waitrose car park almost empty. One difference noticed was that the by now usual solitary black-clad Handmaid’s Tale militiaman (a “marshal” from some security company, hired by Waitrose) had been joined by a couple of colleagues, one of whom loitered inside the store not far from the entrance. With their black masks, and in one case a black scarf as well, they differ from those seen in the Handmaid’s Tale TV series only in that they are unarmed (and presumably unlikely to drag unbelievers off to execution).
Not sure what their job is. Mask enforcement? The Waitrose customers (rabbits) are often seen wearing facemasks even in the car park, so effective has official fear-propaganda been. Anti-shoplifting? Seems doubtful; they rarely patrol inside the store and, frankly, look as if, in the old phrase, they “could not catch a cold” (a most appropriate phrase at the present time, arguende…). They do seem to help the car park/shopping trolley fellow to clean said trolleys.
As for the store itself, very few customers. I noticed that there had been little “panic buying” this time, unlike during the earlier “lockdown” shutdown(s). The “usual suspects”, tinned tuna and loo paper, were not cleaned out but had evidently taken somewhat of a hit. Everything else in abundant supply.
Bought some lottery tickets (Lotto/Thunderball) and a scratchcard. Outlay of £40. Result— one £30 win, one £3 win (Thunderball) and one £5 win (on the scratchcard, which cost £5). £41 in toto. Profit of £1 overall, so no Scottish estate purchase this week…
Tweets seen today
Tweeter “@StarrittJames” seems to be yet another unthinking person whose answer to the censorship and “deplatforming” now rampant is to bleat “Twitter/Facebook/YouTube/etc are private enterprises, and you have no right to be on those platforms; they can remove you at will“.
That is legally correct, as things stand, but the point is that that should not be the case. As I have tweeted and now blogged for years (and spoken, at the London Forum in 2017), these organizations are quasi-monopolies (as are Amazon, ebay etc), and the citizen should have rights there qua citizen, and not merely qua “customer” or qua “contracting person with few contractual rights”.
“Educated elite“? Semi-educated maybe…
This morning, or yesterday, I heard some BBC drone on the Radio 4 Today Programme talking about the Chinese repression in Hong Kong. Well, all very bad, I’m sure, and I have no doubt that Hong Kong was better when under British rule (and when I was there in 2006, several Chinese and Indians said the same to me), but the UK is now sinking so fast into unfreedom that it really has little locus standi to criticize others.
I am not talking just about the “virus” nonsense “laws” etc, but also the whole milieu now of (largely Jew-Zionist) malicious complaints and denunciations, made with the intention of removing a person or organization from Twitter, Facebook, YouTube etc, or even pressuring the police and CPS to prosecute someone whose views or works are disliked. As I say, Jews are behind much of it, as well as “antifa” idiots. Some of my own experiences in the past decade: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/; https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/.

Still the old “Right” and “Left” binary, which is so empty of meaning now.
Exactly. The rabbits prefer to believe that “the man in the white coat”, or the man with the clipboard, or the —allegedly— terribly clever part-Jew, part-Turk who went to Eton and Oxford and remembers a bit of Greek and Latin, “knows better” and has some kind of authority. Nein danke…
Or is it that the hysterical testing of people showing no symptoms whatever is throwing up up thousands of “cases”?
Late tweets
Who’s “we“, you idiot? No-one in my area was clapping (I was glad to note).
I am very pleased that no-one was out clapping like an idiot today. I was driving around at 2000 hrs, and not a clapping idiot to be seen. Yay! Annemarie Plas can now get back in her box until she can think of some other way to attract attention to herself and have her 15 minutes of fame on Twitter.
“Quiet“? Very diplomatic! Try “sepulchral”… Where I live, not one idiot clapping. Deserted foggy roads, temperature subzero.
People, at least many of them, are waking up to the “panicdemic” conspiracy.
The people where I live must have higher IQ levels, because they were not clapping, most of them, even in the summer.

Hello Ian: I have heard/read that obnoxious bitch called Nicola Sturgeon said that Trump will not be allowed into Scotland. Is that correct? As far as I know, Scotland does not exist as an independent nation or political entity. Unless there is a legal loophole or something I don’t know (most probably!) this bitch cannot denied him access to Scotland.
Like you, I don’t like Trump, I think he is just another puppet of ZOG, but what he, unwittingly, represents, the bulk of what we may call traditional/conservative White Americans has earned him the limitless hatred of the Left. His enemies are my enemies too.

Scotland is not a state, but does have near-autonomy in health matters. At present, Scottish Government has prevented passage in and out of Scotland because of “the virus”. Sueon has used that as the supposed reason.

Thank you, Ian. So, she cannot deny the entry to Donald Trump. A) She is not the head of a sovereign state. B) Donald Trump is not ill C) Trump will go as a private person, not as the President of the USA. I hope I am right. I hate her so much! LOL

I do not know what happens if Trump turns up in Scotland. There are few flights, but Trump does not fly commercial; he flies in his own jet. He may have to quarantine, but I do not think that Nicola Sturgeon could actually bar him. I am not completely sure whether or not her devolved “health” powers would go that far.

The SNP are a vile party for the most party who fervently believe in a fake ‘independence’ of Scotland from the United Kingdom ie their notion of ‘Scottish independence in the EU’ and they have strong convictions in favour of globalist open borders which if they were implemented in an ‘independent’ state run by them would rapidly reduce native Scots into being an ethnic minority in Scotland.
That being said, Nicola Sturgeon at least does take the virus seriously and wants to take effective actions against its transmission so the SNP does have that in its favour at the moment.
If she were not so PC, globalist and anti-English I wouldn’t have a problem with Sturgeon replacing Boris in No 10.

So Twitter has taken President Trump off its platform! Well, there is another person who should be banned at least temporarily and who is far more dangerous than Trump is namely Peter Hitchens who persists to drone on and on sporting his unscientific bollocks on there and effectively encourages the feeble-minded, the utterly selfish and lawless scum of British society to not observe the social distancing/lockdown regulations thus putting some vulnerable people into an early grave/making them severely ill and prolonging this crisis for the country with all the ill economic effects he rants on about.
So, Twitter, how about doing that to the mad loon Hitchens? 😎🍷👌

Roy Murley refers the official position because it is backed with at least a semblance of science whereas Peter Hitchens’s one plainly isn’t and is only the result of his crazy infatuation with the concept of ‘freedom’ at all times even in the midst of a worldwide viral pandemic the likes of which you would have to be a supercentenarian ie over 110 years old to have lived through before!🙄🙄🙄🙄

Instead of droning on and on and on and on and on about necessary Covid-19 restrictions (especially when sentinent people are emphatically NOT listening to his crackpot theories) why doesn’t Peter do something useful instead ie moan about the fact the present joke of a ‘government’ has put a ticking time bomb under the union of the United Kingdom with its botched Brexit deal explicitly breaking the 1801 Act of Union between Great Britain and Ireland (now NI) and the fact we now have internal trade barriers between Great Britain and that part of our country called Northern Ireland?😡🤬😞☹️
