The Washington Post's COVID Death Map
Google is being sued by a few state attorney’s general for controlling the search engine environment. Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Amazon are so big and powerful that they dictate the rules to our government when it comes to social media, on-line commerce and searching the Internet. Other world governments appear to have more control of how they operate in their specific countries; but, not in the U.S. They run things around here.
They are data harvesters and therefore, control the message. Media is the message. Facebook is the worst in this regard.
We must ask, is free and unfettered speech, corporations as speech, and money as speech getting out of hand? Should propaganda, lies, and the “Foxification” of the message becoming too toxic for our society? Should such speech be highly controlled and regulated so as to prevent the likes of Q’Anon, Holocaust deniers, “fake news” propagandists, and conspiratorialists be kept off the Internet? Many are saying the time has come.
In the early years of the Internet, a law was written to protect these platforms from lawsuits if posted and shared misinformation led to harm in order to prevent the stifling of innovation. But now, under Trump and the Foxification of information, our society may need to create a regulatory body to prevent the dissemination of lies and “fake news” from being coopted by our political leaders in order to manipulate the message on social media. Trump’s fascist-style government propaganda is being used to control his manufactured lies to advance his spin machine to sway portions of our society to believe that what he is selling is truth. For example, Trump continues to say, “We are turning the corner” on controlling the spread of the Trump Virus, when in fact, the virus is expanding. By using his government propaganda machine to spread lies in order to further his political influence and power should be viewed as dangerous and toxic. Manipulating the masses must be stopped if democracy is to survive. Hitleresque officials must not be allowed to flourish. Trump and his surrogates, such as Rudy “Ghouliani”, BillyBob Barr, Mike-the Putz-Pence, Kayleigh “McINNINNY”, and others must be taken off social media if they use it to spread lies, Russian adverserial delivered propaganda, and the FOXification of information.
We are NOT turning the corner on the Trump Virus as Trump purports. It is actually spreading. Now a Dutch woman has died from COVID-19 after being reinfected a second time. A 30 year old woman on a Texas flight died while on the tarmac after suffering from respiratory failure as a result of the Trump Virus.
Here is a link listing several methods of transmission that can cause a person to contract the Trump Virus. Two significant ways of catching the virus are one being your cellphone screen, and the other being paper money. The virus can live on paper money for days!! Touching glass windows that might be coated with viral aerosol droplets, as well as clothing fabrics can spread the virus if one comes in physical contact with a single droplet, touches that droplet, and then brings it to one’s nose, eyes or mouth. That is why washing hands, wearing a mask, and not touching eyes, nose and mouth are helpful advice. Trump doesn’t believe in such preventive measures.
From Labor Day and on through the following 45 days, 31 states are documenting a rise with the Trump Virus. The Cretin dismissed the super spreading when he said, “People are tired of COVID.” He then encouraged his supporter to resist by suggesting to them that they tell their officials to leave them alone so they can catch and spread the virus. Trump called Dr. Fauci an “idiot”, and that he-Trump- had “done too good a job” with testing, all of which was “fake news”. He also claimed “there is a problem with masks…85% of the people that wear masks catch it”, which is more “fake news”.
Michael Osterholm, a respected infectious disease expert, said, “the next 6-12 weeks are going to be the darkest of the entire pandemic.” Where is this all going to lead?
As people spend more time indoors, the chances for viral droplets to land on surfaces increases; therefore, we are NOT turning a corner. Instead, we are colliding with Trump’s virus.
There is a report where more nursing home residents are contracting the virus and dying. Ireland decided to implement a six weeklong lockdown in order to stop their current outbreak. Trump has no plan other than denial, blame, and deflection.
There is absolutely no reason why Trump should be allowed on social media. The Cretin tweets that his virus “affects virtually nobody” while his virus is surging. He and The Putz were releasing task force reports that the virus was slowing down when in fact, since early September, they knew that the Trump Virus was skyrocketing. According to Representative Jim Clyburn, Trump hid the truth, while he went ahead and held his super spreading rallies.
Trump’s mental health and stability appears to be breaking down. He stormed off the White House set of a 60 Minutes interview where he and The Putz, formerly known as Pence, were to be interviewed by Leslie Stahl. He didn’t like the questions.
One non-related question we all should be asking Trump is why he kept silent about his China bank account? One reason could be is that he didn’t want Americans to know that he does business in China, while he criticized Biden for being soft on China. The reality is Trump could be politically compromised because of his business deals in China. Our national security could be at-risk just because the Trump Organization has business accounts in various diplomatically challenging countries.
Trump continues to do his dog and pony clown shows, but Melania has decided to stay away. She claimed that she still has a lingering cough from her bout with the Trump Virus. Does she realize that she will be likely packing up her stuff by January and doesn’t want to be a part of Donnie’s sinking ship and emotional breakdown as he travels the campaign trail? Could she be distancing herself from an emotionally collapsing Trump? It is very possible.
Not only is Melania pulling back but so is Billy Graham’s granddaughter, Jerushah Duford. She said Evangelical Christians have strayed from the message of Jesus by supporting Trump. She said by supporting Trump they have hurt their reputation as Christians. She believes that Evangelical Christians have sold away their core Christian tenets by giving their support to Trump. She said she supports Biden.
It is time for America to wake up from their opioid-like stupor and abandon the likes of Trump. Maybe they prefer a message of lies, and evil, instead of a message of redemption, goodness and hope. His supporters are way beyond being understood.
When you have clowns running the show, you end up with a circus in chaos.
“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.” Abraham Lincoln
