One of the most chilling things my blue check family-member said to me is, "The Internet is a cesspool!" It's no great stretch to see the same logic applied to a library or to a bookstore, yet I'm certain he still considers himself as upholding the best liberal ideals of decency and fair-play. Such is the power of propaganda.

Of course, this disappearing act is nothing new. It's been going on for years for those of us who criticize Israel's apartheid government.

The notion, that we've seen this escalate in intentionally obvious steps: David Brock's Correct The Record (blacklisted journalists, trolled blogs, incarcerated whistleblowers). Then Bezos' WaPo (Ukraine nazi, CAP & Atlantic Council) Prop'RNot neo-McCarthyite meets Google/ YouTube, Twitter & FaceBook SEO-ing nascent FACT down the memory hole, on OUR internet. We were RooskiBot BernieBro BLM Antifas FOR Trump, if we disliked having our vote, our choice, ANY say taken from us. The "coup" was INSIDE The US Capitol Building. The "insurrection" was four decades ago. We lost!
