Original Article

The Oversight Board has overturned Facebook’s decision to remove a post which it claimed, “contributes to the risk of imminent… physical harm.” The Board found Facebook’s misinformation and imminent harm rule (part of its Violence and Incitement Community Standard) to be inappropriately vague and recommended, among other things, that the company create a new Community Standard on health misinformation. About the case In October 2020, a user posted a video and accompanying text in French in a public Facebook group related to COVID-19

With Lucianne staff permission, I thought this to be interesting. Facebook was wrong about COVID and treatment regimens.

Thanks to the Lucianne staff for permitting the posting of this news release. I am not a lawyer, but please permit me this thought exercise. We are seeing US Death Rates from COVID of ~ 440,000. According to worldometers dot info, the US death rate is 12 times higher than India's. On March 22, 2020, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) recommended empiric treatment of clinical COVID infection with Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), Zinc and Vitamin C. President Trump said HCQ was a game changer. Dr Fauci said no. By May 7th, the LA Times went to Dharvali in Mumbai, where Slumdog Millionaire was filmed, and couldn't find rampant COVID cases. If we had adopted ICMR's medical policy, might we have had 400,000 fewer deaths? Facebook, with its fact checkers, took on the role of Medical Expert and suppressed with free exchange of scientific dialogue, even the research of Dr Didier Raoult. Now the evidence is clear that Dr Raoult, and many others were correct about HCQ. Facebook fact checkers were wrong. The internet and social media now have a prominent role in health care, what with telemedicine, fact checking, virtual healthcare delivery, health care education and healthcare policy. Facebook has been at the forefront and has encouraged its development. Might we find internal documents that the Factcheckers had evaluated their efficacy in dissuading 90% of it users in seeking HCQ as a treatment for COVID? Let's go with 50% efficacy in dissuading people from getting or seeking HCQ for treatment of COVID with HCQ. Imagine 50% fewer deaths in the US with HCQ use as it was recommended by ICMR instead of Facebook and Dr Fauci. Might we hold Facebook accountable for 200,000 unnecessary deaths? At $100,000 per unnecessary death, that is a liability of $20,000,000,000. Facebook positioned itself not as a forum for scientific and medical debate of facts, but the arbiter in proper and improper medical practice. Is it not unreasonable to assume that the families of the COVID victims have a case of unnecessary death of their family member?

OK, a bit of research shows that "The Oversight Board" is a creation of Facebook, controlled by Facebook, a fig leaf of "accountability".....to themselves. They CLAIM: "As its community grew to more than 2 billion people, it became increasingly clear to the Facebook company that it shouldn’t be making so many decisions about speech and online safety on its own. The Oversight Board was created to help Facebook answer some of the most difficult questions around freedom of expression online: what to take down, what to leave up, and why. The board uses its independent judgment to support people’s right to free expression and ensure those rights are being adequately respected. The board’s decisions to uphold or reverse Facebook’s content decisions will be binding, meaning Facebook will have to implement them, unless doing so could violate the law. " https://oversightboard.com/ Of course, this action ONLY comes after it is completely moot. How convenient. Now that huge numbers of people have died, and many could likely have been saved by early use of a very safe, extremely well known drug, HCQ, the information suppression and lies against HCQ, coming from "all the official sources", is suddenly ending. The political goal is now reversed. Now instead of wanting MORE Wuhan flu deaths, the evil thugs in government and the tech companies need FEWER deaths, not for any humanitarian reasons, but for political reasons ALONE. So, watch for HCQ to be a big part of the lowing rate of serious illness. These people are evil and perfectly happy to kill hundreds of thousands for political gain without batting an eye. They are murderers, literally. Tech information suppression plus "official" government lies literally killed huge numbers of American by withholding a cheap, readily available, safe treatment.

In late June NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace made national headlines after he claimed nefarious characters hung a noose in his garage at Talladega. Bubba is one of two black NASCAR drivers. At the time NASCAR released a statement revealing that a noose was reportedly found in top driver Bubba Wallace’s Talladega garage stall. But after several days of investigating by several agents the FBI released a statement on its investigation at the Talladega Superspeedway and determined that Bubba Wallace was not the target of a hate crime.

Absent intact and confident national Western cultures who know where they came from and who they are, the immigrant waves that retain the most confidence in their collective identity will overwhelm those cultures that do not. And that may not end well for anyone or anything, including the Davos-cracy, including modernity itself. The phrase “you will not replace us” gained notoriety in August 2017 when it was chanted by an assortment of right-wing protesters who had shown up in Charlottesville, Virginia, to protest the planned removal of Confederate monuments in that town.

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

Democrat Senator Joe Manchin (WV) appears to have started to shift his views on the filibuster with remarks that he made on two news shows on Sunday morning.The shift from Manchin comes after he has repeatedly stated that he would not vote to end the filibuster, despite pressure from the far-Left. During the interviews on Sunday, Manchin repeatedly claimed that he was not open to ending the filibuster because he did not want to strip the minority party of their power in the Senate, but signaled that he was open to changing it.Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Manchin if he would consider “reforming the filibuster” if “Republicans

Prince Harry’s American wife accused his family of hateful racism against her baby, claimed they refused to protect her and drove her to the point of suicide.She made the incendiary and implausible charge that when she was pregnant with Archie, the royal family decreed that her unborn son would be denied the title of “prince” because her mixed race meant he might have dark skin.

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

President Biden on Monday seemed to forget Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s name at a White House event—calling the Pentagon chief “the guy who runs that outfit over there.” Biden was announcing the nomination of two female generals to lead US military combatant commands. “And I want to thank the sec—the, the, ah former general. I keep calling him general, but my, my—the guy who runs that outfit over there,” Biden said.(Snip) Earlier at the event, Biden mentioned the Defense Department leader by his name, “Secretary Austin,” while appearing to read from a teleprompter.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

Without question, the vast majority of Americans who support former President Donald Trump were angry and frustrated throughout 2020 passed with barely a mention of then-U.S. Attorney John Durham’s criminal investigation into the FBI’s fraudulent “Russiagate” counterterrorism operation directed at his 2016 campaign.In the weeks before the November election, word got out that then-Attorney General William Barr wasn’t going to announce any indictments or even a report on Durham’s investigation because he did not want to influence the outcome.So far, in fact, the only indictment to come out of the Durham probe is that of former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who essentially got a slap on the wrist

Rep. Steve Cohen vowed to renew the push to remove former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s name from the bureau’s downtown Washington headquarters, according to an interview released Monday. Appearing on Yahoo! News’ Skullduggery podcast, the Tennessee Democrat said the effort is getting a fresh look after the release of a new movie highlighting the FBI’s secret program to discredit civil rights activists. The Washington Times in 2019 first reported Democrats’ bid to strip the longtime FBI director’s name from the bureau’s headquarters. Mr. Cohen said the impetus to revive the bid is the new movie, “Judas and the Black Messiah.” The movie details

Speaking to reporters during a press briefing, White House press secretary Jen Psaki acknowledged the failures after being pressed about the administration’s handling of the situation. “I would say it’s clear we need to work more on getting the message out and being very clear, now is not the time to come,” said Psaki, before reiterating the Biden administration’s claim that “the majority
