Techdirt has a story that is quite disturbing on many levels:

Forget banning TikTok, the Trump State Department just suggested it wants to basically ban China from the internet. Rather than promoting an open internet and the concept of openness, it appears that under this administration we're slamming the gates shut and setting up the Great American Firewall for the internet. Under the guise of what it calls the Clean Network to Safeguard America, last night Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced a program that is full of vague statements, that could, in practice, fragment the internet.

This is incredibly disappointing on multiple levels. While other countries -- especially China, but also Iran and Russia -- have created their own fragmented internet, the US used to stand for an open internet across the globe. Indeed, for whatever complaints we had about the State Department during the Obama administration (and we had many complaints), its commitment to an open internet was very strong and meaningful. That's clearly now gone. The "Clean Network to Safeguard America" consists of five programs that can be summed up as "fuck you China."

So much for Internet openness.

    I didn't mod you troll, that wasn't me, but after that bilious diatribe of yours, now I'm modding you flamebait.
    I ask you for evidence, I leave an open door to respond with useful information, which is far more than anyone else here will give you,
    but instead, you respond as if I personally attacked you.

    Yes, I need sources, for virtually everything, which you are clearly unable to provide. Perhaps your reaction is due to the fact that I sincerely asked you for proof which you know you don't have?
    I've been personally burned by the claims and beliefs of others many times in my life, in some cases quite severely, so I take a dim view of unverifiable claims.

    I responded to the other with some nastiness because he first showed some general nastiness himself.
    Show rudeness and/or hostility, receive rudeness and/or hostility. It's not rocket science.

    Then I take back the asshat comment and apologize, but there has been 10 such erroneous mods recently, it is not trivial and it is not random.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noel_Ignatiev#%22New_abolition%22_and_the_%22white_race%22 [wikipedia.org]

    "When we say we want to abolish the white race, we do not mean we want to exterminate people with fair skin. "

    What if I claimed I wanted to abolish some other race or skin color, and then tried to backpedal like he does? You already called me a nazi ITT for far less.

    Its pretty difficult for me to take you seriously as a thinker when you cant go to wikipedia without someone holding your hand, but ok.

      "it is the white race and it alone—its ideologies and inventions—which eradicates autonomous civilizations wherever it spreads, which has upset the ecological balance of the planet, which now threatens the very existence of life itself.[2]"

    Here is the image someone took of wikipedia before and after epsteins death, where they are claiming this jewish spy rapist for israel is just an example of white privilege: https://archive.is/jkjA6 [archive.is]

    I recall reading salon.com articles where jeffrey epsteins jewishness was ignored but now they have memory holed this from their search: https://www.salon.com/search/jeffrey%20epstein, [salon.com] most recent searchable article on their own site is from july?

    Consider this, a tv show about his escape that does not mention his connection to israel:
    https://www.salon.com/2020/05/28/the-good-fight-jeffrey-epstein-finale/ [salon.com]

    Consider the NYT doesnt mention his connection to israel:
    https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/21/business/media/jeffrey-epstein-media.html [nytimes.com]

    Consider maxwells arrest news article, no mention of israel either:
    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jeffrey-epstein-confidante-ghislaine-maxwell-arrested_n_5efddfbcc5b612083c58452a [huffpost.com]

    epsteins original incictment article, no mention of israel either:
    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jeffrey-epstein-charged-sex-trafficking_n_5d234882e4b0f3125687841e [huffpost.com]

    So racism is ok against white people if you are jewish and child rape are ok when jewish people do it and the united states media whitewashes that he is jewish.

    For starters. Or was there some other fact you wanted me to verify for your lazy ass? Again, you are not specific, I cannot know how exactly ignorant you are of these topics, but it seems like you are extremely ignorant, and I don't have all day unless you are paying me.

    But for 500 eu or .1 btc, I would would put something together for you?

    That is if you really care about treason and rape of children and arent just running your mouth and wasting my time.
