15 minute "smart cities" sound great. So why are conspiracy theorists losing their shit?
Plus, banning TikTok: "Restrict Act" is just Patriot Act 2.0
Podcast: The globalist master plan: controlling your movement and capturing your data
Only Russell Brand can get away with a title like The Globalist Master Plan. Oh behave! (Channeling Austin Powers over here.) Really though, are you concerned about privacy? You should be, says Brand.
As Klaus Schwab, hopeful leader of the free world WEF, declares the necessity of global leaders maintaining their control of technology, Schwab’s favorite penetrated cabinet member Justin Trudeau announces plans for “smart cities” and the capturing of Canadian’s medical data.

Mainstream media’s newest thing: Labeling criticism of 15 minute cities “conspiracy theories”
“Conspiracy theories” about 15 minute cities are “false,” “unhinged,” “dangerous,” and “not to be believed,” declare mainstream media in unified chorus.
The article (which is a pretty funny read) calls out mainstream media’s censoring and suppressing of information, and concludes with:
For the time being, the media’s great obsession with 15-minute city conspiracy theories gives a tell. Anyone raising questions about the great plans being imposed on us is stupid and dangerous, say the mainstream media, delegitimising and shutting down debate. This is how we know that powerful interests are very much invested in Smart Cities moving forward, unopposed.

Instagram: Banning TikTok: Does the “Restrict Act” go too far?
Congress has proposed a bill, the Restrict Act, which now has Hecklers attention. The act gives the secretary of Commerce the power to ban foreign apps that pose a risk to US national security. It has President Biden’s support as well as much of Congress. But is a bill necessary, and does it go too far?

We should think twice before banning TikTok
In fact, turns out many libertarians, conservatives, and leftists are coming out against banning TikTok and against the “Restrict Act” more generally. (Anyone can agree that the delightful TikTok recipe skeptic “everyone’s so creative” is worth fighting for!) But in all seriousness, here is the issue with the Restrict Act…
It's a deeply worrying piece of legislation that would give the government broad authority to restrict or ban all sorts of businesses and communications tools, so long as they're tangentially related to any country it decides is an adversary. It would give law enforcement wide leeway to punish a range of people involved in the provision or dissemination of any services from these entities.

America is fighting the wrong university wars
Ron DeSantis is blind to the bigger problem. Oliver Bateman tells us how he really feels:
DeSantis, like other Republican governors, has little to say about this vast [U.S. college and university system] that serves almost no one and does nearly nothing. He just wants to turn a silly boutique Left-wing school into a silly boutique Right-wing school.
Well damn.

A 10 month-old baby could have four Covid shots for “best protection”
FDA approves 4th Covid shot for babies. The author points out, if the mother gets her shots, baby could wind up with 8 Covid vaccine exposures. When natural immunity is best and children have little or no issue with Covid, this concerns many doctors. Children’s Health Defense calls it “simply obscene” and…
If one ever needed proof of which side the FDA is on, Pharma’s or the people’s, one need look no further than its authorization of a fourth COVID shot for children under 5.
Without a tinge of skepticism, CNBC reports that the “FDA said the decision was partly based on clinical trial data from 60 children.”
60 test cases — for our children — to ascertain both efficacy and safety?!

The Twitter Files reveal an elite at war with the truth
Even established facts can be branded as ‘misinformation’ if they upset the official narrative. The Twitter Files reporting rumbles on…
There are two extremely important lessons we must learn from the latest Twitter Files revelations. Firstly, the word ‘misinformation’ does not mean anything other than ‘information the elites don’t like’. The second important takeaway from the Twitter Files is the dubious nature of a lot of what is passed off as ‘evidence’ in mainstream media. Much of what is treated as undisputed fact is just recycled opinions, hypotheses and insinuations, often from compromised institutions.
That is exactly what the Hecklers business model is based on.
