The hardcore push to censor anyone speaking the truth about certain subjects hit a wall twice over the weekend. First, they censored Dr. Joseph Ladapo, Surgeon General of the state of Florida, over a fact-based assessment of Covid jabs for young men. Then, a PayPal rule was dropped that showed they would confiscate $2500 from any accounts that spread “misinformation.”
Both draconian actions were reversed after backlash. Those were big wins for free speech, but why are we still having to fight these corporations for such a basic freedom? One can argue that PayPal is not affiliated with government and can do whatever they want to their members, but Twitter has been shown to work directly with the federal government to oppose free speech. Neither should be doing what they’re doing, but that still doesn’t answer the question of WHY they’re doing it, along with so many others.
The reason is crystal clear. The powers-that-be are propagating lies so massive that they need narrative control from every angle possible. They gaslight. They disseminate falsehoods. They censor. They suppress. They quash. They do whatever they can to keep their dirty huge secrets from being exposed.
It’s often hard to convince “normies” of this. There’s a psychological block that prevents many if not most Americans from believing that the powers-that-be in government, corporate media, Big Tech, Big Pharma, academia, and other tentacles of the globalist elite cabal are working together to suppress the truth. Such concepts would shatter the protected worldviews of so many, so they choose to ignore them. They go along believing the words of those who are supposed to be working on our behalf. These are the very people who are working to keep us in the dark.
On today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show, I dove into a Twitter thread that discussed six of the lies being pushed and compared those lies to past or present lies that work in the opposite direction. I could have spent time and turned the list from 6 to 60, but one only has so much time in the day. Here’s the show followed by the Twitter thread…
The people who want to censor us for spreading “misinformation” and “disinformation” are the biggest disseminators of lies. They want their censorship powers to expand because they need to protect their own deceptions.

If you say anything that’s true, controversial, and against the narrative prescribed by the powers-that-be, you will be silenced at all costs.

The only way to fight the lies is with the truth. That may sound like a simplistic statement, but I’m finding myself shocked by the number of patriots who won’t participate for fear of being canceled.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
In high school in the 1960s, we were taught about the “Big Lie Technique” used by Stalin, Hitler and Mao to overrun opposition and seize absolute power. It is Obama and the rest of the Constitution-deniers who are the existential threat today, using the same technique.
What this article eludes to is something that has been obvious for years, just not as rabid, and pervasive as it is now . So thanks for the heads up to many readers.
Conservative communities all across America should form GRAND JURIES that call for the arrests of ‘subversive elitist billionaires and their minions’… A Grand Jury is a powerful beast. Arresting the guilty and trying them for treason would put an end to the b.s. Spread this idea far and wide. Save freedom. Save America.
You are spot on. This is exactly what we must do. We had better get on it because we are loosing fast
And regarding censorship by big tech… They may own the platform, but if their stock is publicly traded, they should not be able to ‘cancel’ anyone or anything. Censorship is fascist.
