The Instagram Stasi have been hard at work protecting the public from critical thinking and scientific debate. I noticed last night that they’ve censored two more of my posts. The moment they drape the digital gray thought-police shroud over a post I have to take it down or it will lead to shadowbanning or deplatforming.
While this is generally true, it is also important to keep in mind that a well-worn tactic of disinformation is the feigned censorship of falsehoods in order to lend them an air of credibility in the eyes of those reflexively critical of the dominant narrative. Such a strategy is typically used to inspire division in a burgeoning resistance movement. So we must always apply the same rigor, regardless of the establishment’s apparent sensitivity regarding a specific topic.
That's an interesting point but the present medical authorities and their silicon valley thugs are still in the ham-fisted operating mode. It may get subtler as the ADE wave mounts.
For example, there are many people in the far corners of the Covid truth movement who believe there to be all manner of fantastical undisclosed ingredients in the injections...and they too are convinced of the truth of their position because the individuals they are following are likewise censored and harassed.
Yes to be clear I’m not saying the concept applies in this instance. I actually think the censorship regarding boosters is revealing and that Rogers is on the right track. My point was that it’s fallacious to consider something true by default just because it’s censored by powerful interests, so the same rigor must always be applied regardless, even if censorship may provide helpful hints.
Toby..trying hard to get your data, others, before SC judiciary committee as well as the AG’s. The level of ignorance and willful denial of facts is way beyond disturbing.
They control the main means of comms, so they can get to dictate the diction. I am sure you know that getting pithy words and phrases right is hard work.
One obvious way to counter that is not to use their words or pun them and mock them.
Like omicon, ombulla, omiburger, omiwhatever, omiscam; third dose; fourth dose, etc
Yes, good point. It kills creativity. But I've got 30k followers over there and it's the funnel that directs people here. I really need to do that with FB too.

Someone in Germany tried to get this video pulled. Twitter reviewed it and (surprisingly?) found it was NOT subject to removal. Many are resonating with and sharing this 2 minutes. Worth a look?
I love that the argument against sounding an alarm has become "it's anti-Semitic to compare concentration camps, segregation, open discrimination, and forced medical procedures to early Nazi Germany"... As if the holocaust happened in a day.
I'm desperately trying to get my recovered teenage son to be able to continue in his life without getting the vaccine. He went to sign up for a course to become a volunteer EMT, and was told he must have a "green pass" in order to take the course. Holding on as long as I can, and praying for the dam to break, and the green pass to be rejected by the people!
How long does a post stay up before being censored? Hope these got some views from those who aren't on Substack!
The boosters may be their kryptonite. They caused upheaval at the FDA and now the two officials who resigned are blabbing about potential OAS and risk/reward ratio (including on the WashPost opinion pages of all places). Keep up the good work! The upside of being censored from Instagram? Those of us who are just on Substack get to see what you're doing there. Plus, as mentioned below, it's a major tell! What don't they want us to see?
It's simple for me now: If it is censored or banned on the top social media platforms? It's truth being hidden.
100%.
True this. I've been saying that for a while now: "That which is censored is (almost certainly) true."

Thank you Toby -this is very informative and I do appreciate all the writings you do.
Cognitive dissonance is what drives these narratives. Never in my life have I seen the majority of folks so unattached to reality.

Let's add an "n" to omiburger to make an omniburger. I think that might make a good lunch. 😉😋
The first time I wrote it, I said "omnicron" I have to constantly check myself for saying "omni..."! But, I don't want to confuse "them"...
Yes, the ubiquitous "them" that takes offense to ev-er-ee-thing and oversees us all. 😑🙄 Sigh.

Keep fighting the good fight.
IG like Twitter is a cesspool. Play in those waters too long and the parasites will get you.

Why do you keep using it? Just have a pinned message pointing to your substack or whatever you use.
Yes, good point. It kills creativity. But I've got 30k followers over there and it's the funnel that directs people here. I really need to do that with FB too.
You can have a spicy message, censorship, labels, free speech ... as the reason you take a sabbatical from them
In addition to the pinned message, post a nugget about every new Substack post and link to it. Just use it to drove to Substack.
“drive”

Yes, the censoring has really helped me identify what’s important!
Meanwhile, the crippling and death continues unabated. We have to figure out a way to stop this
madness.
Thank you for these well-phrased gems of truth. I am going to use these to resist family pressure to get the booster.
Keep on! Don't give in! You have the support of many around the world!

It's pretty arbitrary. Both of these posts were up for at least a week with 6k likes and 50k views each before the Stasi swooped in.
Maybe we should be thankful for the censorship - it is like having access to what someone looked at using a private browser.
