Something fishy here.<\/p>\n

First, corporate executives don\u2019t give away $787 million of shareholders\u2019 money without a test of the claim in court. \u00a0The uncontested amount is so large that one wonders if Fox News itself paid it or whether this almost $800 million was a gift funneled through an uncontested lawsuit to fund Dominion by our ruling elites. Once elections are determined by how voting machines are programmed, the people are disenfranchised.<\/p>\n

Second, it is not defamation to report the news.\u00a0 Tucker Carlson reported the claims of experts.\u00a0 That is news reporting.\u00a0 Dominion\u2019s defamation lawsuit should have been filed against the experts.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t, because the experts had the evidence.<\/p>\n

Third, Experts supplied evidence that the Dominion voting machines could be programmed to count votes differently from how the votes were cast; experts supplied evidence that the machines could be hacked; experts supplied evidence that the voting machines were connected to the Internet.\u00a0 Fox News could have called these experts as expert witnesses. By agreeing to settle, Fox News refused the evidence its day in court.\u00a0 Why?<\/p>\n

A possible explanation is that Fox News, voluntarily or involuntarily, participated in an orchestration that established the precedent that reporting news different from the narrative, or news that is unfavorable to a person, company, or government institution, is defamation.\u00a0 Think about what this means.\u00a0 A prosecutor who charges a person with a crime has defamed the person.\u00a0 Truth becomes unreportable.\u00a0Investigative reporter Seymour Hersh could be charged for defamation, and for being a Russian agent, for reporting that the US government destroyed the Nord Stream pipeline.<\/p>\n

When we see the few truth-tellers who are the stars of their organizations jettisoned\u2013Tucker Carlson from Fox News, Matt Taibbi from Rolling Stone, Glenn Greenwald from The Intercept, James O\u2019Keefe from Project Veritas, President Trump charged under a non-existent law, and Wikileaks\u2019 Julian Assange imprisoned for a decade without due process, we must face the fact that there is an organized conspiracy to suppress truth.\u00a0 We are experiencing the completion of The Matrix in which expressed doubt or even unspoken suspicion of official narratives are criminal offenses.<\/p>\n

Truth-tellers receive almost nonexistent support. \u00a0The inescapable conclusion is that in the Western world truth has no future.<\/p>\n

Tyranny is upon us.<\/p>\n
