Why You NEVER Trust Social Media
by Karl Denninger, Market Ticker:
Not even if it’s my stuff being made “viral.”
When the call went out for a Florida veteran’s funeral on Oct. 1, the brief obituary noted Edward Pearson had “no immediate family” and invited anyone in the area to attend so Pearson wouldn’t be buried alone. The notice went viral and thousands showed up to pay their respects.
Not among the scores of mourners? The man’s two – living – sons, who say their dad walked out on them as teenagers.
Social media is a cancer. It is a metastatic monster that consumes your mind and soul.
Law allows hospitals to literally kidnap you for profit… you are the property of the medical industrial complex
by Isabelle Z., via The Common Sense Show:
In America, we like to think we are free. It’s ingrained in us as children, and it’s fair to say that we enjoy broader rights overall than people living elsewhere. However, there are still a surprising number of ways you can unfairly lose your freedom in this country that you might not even realize, and one of them is medical kidnapping. As difficult as it may be to believe, hospitals are keeping patients against their will for profit, and the law helps them get away with it.

Trans rights and state-sponsored sexual assault: How Democrats want to strip YOUR constitutional freedoms
from RT:
As a panel of Democrats fell over each other to pander for the rainbow vote at CNN’s LGBTQ town hall, conservatives raged at the inclusion of transgender children, but not at the Dems’ plans to shred the Bill of Rights.
Broadcast live from Los Angeles on Thursday, CNN’s LGBTQ town hall saw nine Democratic presidential candidates take questions from the network’s journalist and from a hand-picked crowd of “LGBTQ stakeholders and members of civic organizations.”
It went exactly as you think it would have. Every candidate promised to pass the Equality Act, a bill that would amend the Civil Rights Act to “prohibit discrimination on the basis of the sex, sexual orientation, gender identity…or sex-based stereotypes,” and reverse certain acts of the Donald Trump administration, like its “ban” on transgender troops in the military.

Police Seize Washington Man’s Guns Using Red Flag Laws Over Satirical ‘Joker’ Meme
by Chris Menahan, Information Liberation:
A 23-year-old Washington man had all of his guns seized under red flag laws last week over a “one ticket for joker please” meme he shared on Twitter as a joke.
In the run up to the Joker movie’s release, many people shared satirical memes of people holding guns with the text “one ticket to joker please.”
As Know You Meme notes:
Tickets to Joker, Please is a phrasal template used to caption photographs of people the meme’s author believes to be the stereotypical audience for the 2019 comic book film Joker. These images generally showcase men in fedoras, infamous mass shooters and depictions of internet trolls.

The World’s Largest (Democratic!) Biometric Prison
by James Corbett, The International Forecaster:
Whenever they talk about India and its “inevitable” rise to world economic dominance, establishment hacks like Thomas “Iraq War booster” Friedman always seem compelled to note that the country is “the world’s largest democracy.” They might want to talk to the residents of the now-defunct Jammu & Kashmir before invoking that phrase, but the underlying point seems to be that India—with its growing economic might and vibrant, functional parliamentary system—can provide a freedom-respecting alternative to the Chinese communist model for economic development and industrialization.
