I'm very worried about this. https://twitter.com/0rf/status/1636466982278012931?s=20

Whenever I see a story about thought and opinion control, which is what this is, I reach for my Chomsky.

"How many Vietnamese casualties would you estimate that there were during the Vietnam war? The average response on the part of Americans today is about 100,000. The official figure is about two million. The actual figure is probably three to four million. The people who conducted the study raised an appropriate question: What would we think about German political culture if, when you asked people today how many Jews died in the Holocaust, they estimated about 300,000? What would that tell us about German political culture?”

The United States government is a wholly owned subsidiary of the American Israeli Political Action Committe . . . Volodymyr Zelensky is an Israel operative, and the Ukrainian parliament is full of Jewish apparatchiks . . .

Jewish Corruption in Ukraine . . . by Andrew Joyce, Ph.D.

❝. . . the present conflict is a huge distraction from the fact that, for decades, the biggest threat to Ukraine hasn’t been Russia, but financiers and speculators operating with impunity within Ukraine’s borders to exploit ethnic Ukrainians and plunder their resources.❞

Please email these people and ask them what's up with this? Do this on all their social media. It's the least we can do.

I've emailed them all. Still no response.

I just got this:

Hi and thanks for reaching out.

The database stopped working in 2021, before the majority of our current staff was at CPI. We’re seeking a way to reinstate it – it wasn’t removed intentionally or recently.

I will let you know if/when we find a solution.

Thanks! It only took a giant Twitter storm to finally get a response!

"IF/when we find a solution"? JFC...They don't sound very committed...

But really would be great if it's restored.

What email address did you send to?

I sent it here: media@publicintegrity.org

A solution is almost certainly possible. If they want to do it!

Yep, that's the email address I never got a response from earlier. What a difference a little attention makes. Thank you. I agree, there's no reason they couldn't bring it back. As I said, it's been over two years now!

Hi Matt!

This story keeps getting better and better. Just got this this AM.

It looks like your efforts have really paid off! Thanks!

"Thanks again for sharing your concerns about the missing database in the Iraq War story from our archives. It was not an intentional omission and we appreciate the heads up.

After some digging, we identified who hosted the original database in that story and were able to obtain the data.

I’ll be updating the story today, but I wanted to get the data to you ASAP. It’s here available to anyone on our github account: https://github.com/PublicI/iraq-war-card

Please let me know if there’s anything else you need and thanks again for reaching out.

Lisa Yanick Litwiller"

Yes, I saw that. I was addressing anyone reading my comment. I ask them myself. I am Canadian, and one of the things I did on Twitter before my permanent suspension, was to ask CBC News, literally dozens of times, "Why do you no longer cover the persecution of Julian Assange?" They never answered of course, and now all of my questions have been turned into gas and poured into the stratosphere.

I have this crazy idea that if more people simply asked a simple question to power, then, maybe, we might get some positive change.

Silence and standing on the sidelines never changed a thing, not once, not ever.

"Posterity will never hear of you. You will be lifted clean out from the stream of history. We shall turn you into gas and pour you into the stratosphere. Nothing will remain of you; not a name in a register, not a memory in a living brain. You will be annihilated in the past as well as in the future. You will never have existed.”

He's not a "politician" he's a neo-nazi. He's also been convicted of sexual assault. Twice.

Is he a hero of yours?

Yeah, he is.

I just sent them this via email. I will post any reply here.

Hi

I just read a Matt Orfalea post about the fact that you have removed  the lies that George Bush told to promote the war on Iraq.

That post is here: https://censorednews.substack.com/p/massive-archive-of-iraq-war-lies

Why would you do that? It was an important article and I have used it as resource in the past. When will you restore this article?

Yours sincerely.

We do not know if they "removed" the archive. A "technical issue" could be an accident. What we do know is they have not brought it back for over 2 yrs, and have announced no plans to do so. There is still an article but without the full database: https://publicintegrity.org/politics/search-the-935-iraq-war-false-statements/. Thanks for contacting them to bring the archive back. Please be courteous. I hope others will too!

The Uniparty is in control now. It protects itself from harm by eliminating all that "disinformation".

I like your work, but I can't afford another substack at the moment. What you do has a lot of power because people can get to understanding their feelings about something by seeing it, rather than reading it. Journalists like Glenn Greenwald or Tucker Carlson help to give one words one can use to describe what they are feeling when they see something. I can't imagine how much work it takes to produce one of your videos. But thank you for it.

Oops, indeed. George Orwell knew this would happen. "He who controls the past controls the future."

Should we all be bothering our pretty little heads with all this nonsense, anyway? Shouldn't we be watching cooking shows and shopping channels? Curiosity killed the commie.

If they lied about the Eyerack, then they just 'might' be lying about Russia.

Can't have people thinking that now can we?

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

Maybe it was all “misinformation” ;-))

This is an example of how fast history can be rewritten, and how it has been done for centuries by those in control across the world. It’s the reason why most all of what have “learned” about history is false.

Went to CPI's website. Looks like the typical liberal malarkey. That tax cuts are somehow bad and mentally-ill cross dressers are good. I would just write them off.
