Public Jacob Siegel: "This isn't simply about censorship. They're trying to control reality."
It’s now clear that heads of state around the world, from the U.S. and Canada to Britain and New Zealand, are working together to censor their political opponents, lie to the public, and crack down on free speech — all in the name of fighting “disinformation,” “extremism,” and “hate.”
A former Army intelligence officer named Jacob Siegel wrote the best overview of this creeping totalitarianism for Tablet Magazine, and the two of us recorded a podcast with him earlier this week to discuss his magnum opus called “A Guide to Understanding the Hoax of the Century,” which he has been working on for over three years.
The revelations from the Twitter Files, the Facebook Files, and Siegel’s piece should permanently change how we think about government propaganda and censorship. We are far from the crude forms of government thought control pioneered during World War II. The Internet has, once again, proven to be revolutionary. We hope you will listen to the podcast and get as much out of the conversation as we did.
