On March 2, the Montana House of Representatives nearly passed a bill that would have allowed the state to regulate social-media infringements on freedom of speech. Companies such as Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter would have been subjected to oversight and scrutiny by the Montana Public Service Commission that already regulates public utilities, railroads, energy companies, and other key industries. The measure failed by one vote. Public Service Commissioner Randall Pinocci was outraged that some “RINO Republicans” joined Democrats to kill the bill by a single vote. He said the bill was not introduced just to help Montana but to set a precedent for other states as well. There is still is a possibility of re-introducing the bill in a slightly different way for the Montana Senate. -GEG
Montana lawmakers and policymakers took their first big shot at “Big Tech” in what supporters described as an effort to stop and punish censorship and discrimination against social-media users.
The first shot missed, but not by much. And if officials who spoke with The Epoch Times are right, the state’s war against what many legislators view as abuse by Silicon Valley is just getting started.
On March 2, the Montana House of Representatives nearly passed a bill that would have allowed the state to regulate social-media infringements on freedom of speech. The measure failed by one vote.
Under the legislation, known as House Bill 573, companies such as Facebook and YouTube would have been subjected to oversight and scrutiny by the Montana Public Service Commission. Multiple commissioners, elected to regulate utilities and other interests, expressed support for the effort.
Lawmakers also stressed the significance of the plan, describing the bill as a necessary measure to protect the rights of Montanans from unaccountable corporate giants with what a number of legislators described as “extreme” political biases.
Job insecurity and fear of contracting the virus while pregnant likely dissuaded Americans from having babies. The declines were steeper in states that were hit the hardest by COVID-19, such as California and New York. The decrease in the US birth rate risks a blowout in the per-capita level of America’s exploding debt.
Notorious lockdown states such as New York and New Jersey have some of the worst mortality numbers. States with no restrictions, such as Texas and Florida, have fewer deaths than New York and New Jersey. Every state that has removed its mask mandate is outperforming New York and New Jersey in terms of deaths.
Biden’s new climate plan targets for 2030 come directly from the United Nations and include reducing red meat consumption by 90%, allowing only 4 pounds per year, and decreasing all animal source foods & products by 50%.
Without proper safeguards, new technology might be used to alter people’s thoughts, employing algorithms via the internet to re-program their hard wiring, to dictate their interests, preferences or patterns of consumption.
If this were any other vaccine, it would have been pulled from the market after 50 unexplained deaths. The CDC reviewed about 1,600 deaths and indicated that not a single death was related to the vaccine! The doctor said it is impossible to opine that none of the deaths were vaccine-related without thorough investigation.
A powerful teachers union lobbied the CDC to change the school-reopening guidance that was released in February. Teachers’ unions across the United States rallied to keep schools closed during the pandemic, ignoring a body of scientific evidence that said it’s safe to teach students face-to-face.
This is a classic example of how a mainstream news promotes a false narrative about right-wing terrorism. We are convinced most of the so-called right-wing domestic terrorists are actors and mercenaries hired to create boogieman to frighten citizens into accepting totalitarian measures to combat the manufactured threat.
A woman ranted at the officer, made racial slurs against him, and accused him of trying to murder her and her son. The officer did not respond to her provocations and carried out his duties with patience. His video recording of the incident vindicated him and undoubtedly saved him from severe penalties and harassment.
Vivekh, a 59-year old comedian and actor died two days after taking Covaxin, India’s homegrown COVID-19 vaccine. He took the injection during a public televised event for the purpose of removing fear of vaccination among the public.
Most reports coming from India follow the story line that the virus is is killing alarming numbers, that hospitals are overwhelmed, but that the situation will get better when everyone is vaccinated. This is the same scenario popularized in Europe and the US. The mortality death rate is similar to the flu.
Christian pastor John Sherwood was arrested by police after a member of the public reported him for the “homophobic” comment of saying, while preaching, that marriage is between a man and a woman. He was arrested under the Public Order Act for using “abusive or insulting words” that cause “harm” to another person.
Del Bigtree interviews three professional health-care workers who tell their heart-breaking stories of what happened when they happily accepted the mRNA vaccine. Within a few days of the injections, they were in constant, full-body convulsions.
One of Facebook’s most prominent “fact checking” groups is funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation that holds about 15% of its assets, over $1.8-billion of stock, in vaccine manufacturer Johnson and Johnson. In other words, the vaccine companies control the flow of information about vaccines.
Aanika is a company that created a genetically modified organism probiotic spore that can be misted onto dry goods or added to liquid products so that the spores can be traced. The spores added to food will be tracked from the field to the store, to your stomach, and finally to the smart sewers for total surveillance.
Two lawsuits accusing DC Metropolitan Police Department of ‘excessive force’, after arresting 200 people during riots at Trump’s 2017 inauguration, settled for a total of $1.6 million to be awarded to accused Antifa members.

Canadian professor of psychology, Dr. Jordan Peterson, while being interviewed about his defense of free speech, is asked by a TV host: “Why should your right to freedom of speech trump a trans person’s right not to be offended?” He responded: “Because in order to be able to think, you have to risk being offensive. Look at the conversation we’re having right now. You’re certainly willing to risk offending me in the pursuit of truth. Why should you have the right to do that?” The TV host was left with no response.
YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki is planning to add a Wikipedia information box to every video that is focused around what YouTube considers to be a conspiracy theory. The goal is to counter the information with ‘reliable’ information. Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, and his army of liberal colleagues, will determine what is truth and they will label anything that strays from the approved narrative as fake or a conspiracy theory.
Facebook banned California Republican congressional Candidate Elizabeth Heng’s campaign video ad about communist crimes that led her parents to flee mass murder by communists in Cambodia in the 1970’s. Facebook says it does not allow “shocking, disrespectful, or sensational” content. [Does anyone actually believe that? Can you imagine Facebook banning a leftist campaign video that showed Nazi crimes against communists in Europe? Neither can we.] See the banned video here.
