But the sweeping requests for confidentiality — including research from former MI6 agent and opposition researcher Christopher Steele — face a high hurdle, experts told Just the News.

Speaking of the NYT.

WashPost's Margaret Sullivan Hopes Incoming New York Times Editor Shreds Objectivity

Many liberals who call themselves journalists, inspired by Harvard's Nieman Lab, are now publicly calling for ditching objectivity in their profession in favor of what they call "solidarity for social justice" as their goal. Not only are many making no attempt to hide their disdain for objectivity, they are loudly urging it. Among them is Washington Post Margaret Sullivan who is not shy about expressing her extreme antipathy towards political diversity.
Therefore when she wrote on Saturday that the New York Times managing editor, Joe Kahn, would succeed Dean Baquet as executive editor of that alleged national treasure in June, her top concern was whether he would allow diversity of opinion in "Joe Kahn can be a great New York Times editor."

Just love the term "social justice". It has no solid definition and can be changed/modified/perverted to fit anything the warriors want it to fit. More woke BS is all it is. Exactly the same with "environmental justice". And if you think that journalists are "objective" in this world, I've got a bridge you can buy.

The Great Suppression


Dear Patriots,


In a recent podcast, Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch, fittingly characterized our current time as "The Great Suppression".
This is a time when Big Tech platforms are suppressing speech they deem to be in the wrong. Many of us have been victimized by this suppression.
Even if you are not on platforms like Twitter, Tom explains how this massive suppression affects all of us as we gather information.
We are seeing this play out now as we watch Elon Musk bid to gain control of Twitter.
You can watch Tom explain here. "Can Elon Musk Rescue Twitter and Save Free Speech?"



1- Another topic that can not be mentioned on Big Tech platforms is any discussion of the voluminous ways the left cheats in elections. We know this is a topic that is very important to our supporters. Here is a great piece by Debbie Georgatos on the solutions we all need to be demanding from our government officials.

Debbie Georgatos, Host, America Can We Talk?

Election fraud is an existential threat to the entire American experiment

QUOTE:
The simple solutions to restore integrity to and trust in America's elections
We need to return for the foreseeable future and perhaps forever, to paper ballots and hand counting of ballots, along with simplifying the voting process to make it easy to vote and hard to cheat.

Here are the basic reforms needed, which activists should push at the state, county, election department, and every other level:
• Ban all electronic voting machines and vote tabulators, equipment, flash drives etc. Use paper ballots only, with human vote counters, not machine tabulators. Encourage MORE Americans of every political persuasion to volunteer to be part of the process, especially the counting and the observers of the counting. Seth Keshel makes a great point that in order to have hand-counting we need to have small election precincts, keeping the number of ballots to be counted within a reasonable number.


• Impose extreme limitations on the use of mail-in and absentee ballots, making them permissible on a needs-only basis, allowing them for those in the military serving abroad, truly bedridden invalids, and other special circumstance exceptions narrowly defined by legislators. NO more unsolicited mail-in ballots, no absentee ballots unless based on serious and verified need, no ballot boxes. Make ballot-deliverers sign under penalty of perjury that they are delivering a valid ballot filled out by the voter to whom it was sent, and limit each ballot deliverer to one ballot.

• Impose significant prison sentences for all kinds of election fraud, including those who attempt to vote who are not citizens, those who try to vote more than once in the same election, those who enable or participate in mail-in ballot fraud, those who falsely utilize mail-in ballots.

• END all early voting and have one Election Day as a national holiday. Make it a patriotic holiday like July 4th!

• ANNUALLY clean out all voter rolls, with an audit of the entire roll and a canvassing of a portion of listed voters, meaning going out to addresses listed in the voter rolls and verifying the names and addresses.

Not one of these items is too much to ask. We Americans cannot afford NOT to do this. We the People need to push this at every level of government, but especially in our state legislatures, county commissioners' courts, and to state and local election officials.
No change will come to our election process without sustained and, in fact, relentless pressure from citizens to our government.

Stealing elections is stealing our country. Stealing freedom. Stealing the promise of self-governance.




2- We have a shining example of how to collectively deal with Covid-CCP, if we could only get the left to pay attention to the successes of Sweden's approach.

So much information on Covid-CCP has been and continues to be suppressed.

Washington Monthly
What Sweden Got Right About COVID

QUOTE: The U.S. botched the pandemic—overprotecting kids at low risk of serious illness and under-protecting older Americans. Stockholm pursued a light touch and fared far better.

While most countries imposed draconian restrictions, there was an exception: Sweden. Early in the pandemic, Swedish schools and offices closed briefly but then reopened. Restaurants never closed. Businesses stayed open. Kids under 16 went to school.

That stood in contrast to the U.S. By April 2020, the CDC and the National Institutes of Health recommended far-reaching lockdowns that threw millions of Americans out of work. A kind of groupthink set in. In print and on social media, colleagues attacked experts who advocated a less draconian approach. Some received obscene emails and death threats. Within the scientific community, opposition to the dominant narrative was castigated and censored, cutting off what should have been vigorous debate and analysis.

In this intolerant atmosphere, Sweden's "light touch," as it is often referred to by scientists and policy makers, was deemed a disaster. "Sweden Has Become the World's Cautionary Tale," carped The New York Times. Reuters reported, "Sweden's COVID Infections Among Highest in Europe, With 'No Sign Of Decrease.'" Medical journals published equally damning reports of Sweden's folly.

But Sweden seems to have been right. Countries that took the severe route to stem the virus might want to look at the evidence found in a little-known 2021 report by the Kaiser Family Foundation. The researchers found that among 11 wealthy peer nations, Sweden was the only one with no excess mortality among individuals under 75. None, zero, zip.

That's not to say that Sweden had no deaths from COVID. It did. But it appears to have avoided the collateral damage that lockdowns wreaked in other countries.


3- This is a movie we all must work to spread far and wide. The left will try to suppress it. We shared the first trailer for the Dinesh D'Sousa movie a few weeks ago. Here is a new trailer to share.

THE GATEWAY PUNDIT

SECOND EXCLUSIVE TRAILER Released for "2000 Mules" — Shows How the 2020 Election Was RIGGED AND STOLEN
QUOTE:
2000 Mules is a documentary film created by Dinesh D'Souza. The film exposes the True the Vote's video evidence of a coordinated, funded, illegal ballot trafficking network across critical swing states during the 2020 election.

Dinesh D'Sousa released the second trailer on Saturday night at the Trump Ohio Rally for the upcoming movie "2000 Mules."

The premiere week is May 2-May 7.



4- For more background on the investigations into the 2020 election steal, read this Substack piece in full.

Exposing America's Ballot Trafficking Cartel - Part IV
QUOTE:
True the Vote's Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Philips sat down with the Gateway Pundit's Jim Hoft and 100 Percent Fed Ups' Patty McMurray for an hour-long conversation detailing their investigation into the 2020 election.
Catherine Engelbrecht began the conversation saying, "There was a systematic and coordinated effort to exploit those vulnerabilities around the drop boxes specifically through what we call ballot trafficking and that is individuals who are moving back and forth between key non-profit organizations and the drop boxes and doing this in excess of 20, 30, 40 times.

"It turns out Philadelphia county is by far the most egregious offender of this kind of abuse and we have people who in the data show they want to drop boxes in excess of 100 times during the early election period. The movie tells that story through the data and the video," she continued.

Gregg Philips explained how Georgia's Governor Brian Kemp and the Director of Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI), Vic Reynolds, have "done absolutely nothing" to investigate True the Vote's allegations, but furthermore, how the GBI leaked True the Vote's confidential investigation documents to the Atlanta Journal Constitution including doxing the identities of Philips and his analyst.



The best way to overcome The Great Suppression is to share information. The more people who know the truth the better chance we have to save the country.

Read. Know. Share. Pray. Fight.
