The rise of citizen journalists


Citizen journalists like those on this site are fighting back against Leftist domination of the media.
Venturing outside one’s ideological bubble is very important in maintaining a proper perspective on what is happening in the nation and the world. Thus, we begin the day looking over the ‘mainstream’ media sites to learn what events have transpired overnight. Quite often it will be the same regurgitation of the same stories on each site, as each is steeped in the same Leftist echo chamber.
We are highlighting this video because of the person being profiled and his points on what has happened to the Socialist-Left. Full disclosure, as stated in the video description, the Citizen Journalist in question freely admits to leaning Left who at one point supported Bernie Sanders, who say he has a soft spot for some Leftist policy agenda items. However, watching his videos one gets the distinct impression of a gradual ideological shift on his part, as he reports on the insanity of the Left. That is a discussion for another day, but interestingly enough, Mr. Pool has received a lot of FLAK over his reporting of the news from the Socialist-Left, so he must be doing something right.

Leftists can’t compete in the marketplace of ideas, so they simply shut down the marketplace.

This article from JD Rucker entitled: Purge, censor, and silence: Tech giants go full-Orwell to prepare for 2020 elections outlined the increasingly strident Left in attacking Liberty in the form of free-speech. Just as they have done with the right of self-defense, the Left has shown they have no use for Liberty.
Mr. Pool has similar concerns for the trend towards a one party media. Many of his videos have detailed this disturbing trend. Despite ostensibly being Left of centre, as detailed above, he is most definitely on the Conservation of Liberty side of the political spectrum. Mr. Pool, if you are reading this, please do not take offence at that observation, that was meant to be a compliment.
A recent video was a long form discussion with conservative Will Chamberlain: Human Events’ Chamberlain Talks Tech Bans With Tim Pool.  To keep this from running too long [Why should this be any different..] we will discuss this issue in another column.

To the surprise of no one, criminals across the country are exploiting the chaos to steal guns

In an epic failure of liberty control, the current chaos is giving thieves a perfect opportunity to try and steal some guns. Criminals across the country have been trying to take advantage of the chaos to burglarise gun stores, attempting to break into the shops and steal what they can. This while law enforcement has been busy with the protests and looting that broke out everywhere. Some have noted a decided increase in this type of crime, with the thieves only meeting partial success. Word has it that the ATF has complimented some stores for their security measures that prevented loss of inventory to the miscreants. If anything, this should show that  liberty control  is a fool’s errand since criminals will always find a way to obtain guns. The end result of these policies is that the innocent and even law enforcement are then at the mercy of the worst of society.

Democratic disaster: The Associated Press is ‘unable to declare’ a winner in Iowa

The Tom Perez, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee has also called for a “recanvass” of the results The  Associated press  just announced that they won’t be able to declare a winner in Iowa. Meanwhile, Tom Perez, chairman of the Democratic National Committee  called for a “recanvass”  of the results of the Iowa caucuses. Party chairman Perez declared ”Enough is enough” and called for this results to assure public confidence in the results. The latest release of the results from the Iowa Democratic Party had Mayor Pete Buttigieg leads Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders by two state delegate equivalents out of 2,152 counted. That is a margin of 0.09 percentage points. However, there is evidence the party has not accurately tabulated some of its results, including those released late Thursday that the party reported as complete. It should be noted that  Pete Buttigieg paid Shadow Inc , the Iowa caucus app company, tens of thousands of dollars in recent months. Originally

Gun Confiscation SWATing: Shooting down due process

Image
A new video from the Firearms Policy Coalition highlights the dangers to Liberty and due process posed by so-called ‘Red Flag’ Laws. Gun confiscation SWATing, Extreme risk protective orders or so-call ‘Red Flag’ Laws are all the rage of the Liberty grabber Left and RINO’s these days. It’s bad enough that these unnecessary and unconstitutional violations of everyone’s due process rights are being ‘Rahmed’ through on a state level. But both the US House and Senate have their own versions. The latter co-sponsored by Senator Marco ‘RINO’ Rubio (R-FL) with the Senate Judiciary Committee to hold hearings on March 26 . In a case of trying to solve a rare but emotionally charged problem, these will only serve to create an even bigger problem destroying several civil and human rights in the process. We’ve already established that this type of legislation is unnecessary since Involuntary Civil Commitment laws that protect due process rights are already on the books. Thus we hav
