Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
There is so much “news” about Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) – but precious little that is new.
We’ve had authors for a century-plus describing almost exactly the doomsday scenarios towards which we are now currently, stupidly hurtling ourselves.
Section 230 is perhaps the greatest Big Government crony gift to Big Business in human history. Big Tech can do…whatever it wants. And can’t be sued by anyone for anything.
Those of us who have long sought its end were last week heartened a bit by this….
The Potomac River’s designation as America’s most endangered river isn’t really a story about one river. It’s a warning about an entire civilization rushing headlong into a technological revolution without fully understanding the consequences. More than 300 data centers already operate within the Potomac watershed, with hundreds more proposed to support the explosive growth of artificial intelligence and cloud computing. The same digital infrastructure powering our modern lives is quietly consuming vast amounts of electricity and billions of gallons of water. The cloud was never weightless. It was always connected to power plants, cooling towers, transmission lines, and rivers. The question isn’t whether technology will continue advancing. The question is whether we’ll recognize the second and third-order consequences before they become tomorrow’s crisis.
As I’m sure most of you have noticed? Our federal government is a titanic, monstrous mess.
In all of human history, there has almost certainly never been an entity this dysfunctional and disorganized.
And the fact we have allowed something this messed up – to get this huge? May be the most grievous error in human history.
“‘The message is clear,’ New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez, whose investigation resulted in a jury finding on Tuesday that Meta must pay $375 million for failing to protect kids from child predators, told POLITICO in an interview. ‘It’s time to change the way these companies do business.’
If Part I was about how we got here, Part II is about the uncomfortable truth most Americans are living with now: the system hasn’t collapsed—but it no longer works the way it used to. We are in the uncanny valley between order and chaos, where institutions still function, shelves are stocked, paychecks clear, and elections are held—but trust is gone, legitimacy is fractured, and nothing feels durable.
Americans didn’t wake up one morning and decide they wanted to live under surveillance, financial precarity, endless war, and algorithmic babysitting. This wasn’t a vote. It wasn’t even a debate. It was a process—slow, technical, wrapped in flags and fear, and sold as “temporary” at every stage.
Way back when, Big Tech was just beginning to reorder its strategy of total conquest. In DC, that meant massively increasing their lobbying budgets.
“If You Want a Picture of the Future, Imagine a Bot Deleting a Human Face – for Ever” As I’ve oft said, the two real US battles right now are: Globalists v Nationalists The Latest from Seton Motley is a reader-supported publication.

Big Tech dominates the planet – because of Big Government cronyism like Section 230. That in turn allows them to buy more cronyism.
Twitter is Lying; I know many people think that with Elon Musk owning twitter, then perhaps the rational people had won a round in the fight for the soul of our country. Apparently not: Reading my tweet, in which pointed out (to the Kansas City Star newspaper) the well-known fact of the high level of mental …
“It should come as no surprise with the maturity of image creation, the explosion of writing tools, and the massive rise of video and audio tools that are driving the growth of generative AI at such a rapid pace, the government and the public at large would start to consider who will directly and legally benefit from the outcome production of these new and developing technologies.” So why is no one talking about it?
Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald delivered a memorable and hard-hitting speech at the University of Utah in April 2015 titled “Edward Snowden and the Secrets of the National Security State.” His remarks focused on the National Security Agency’s collection of billions of communications of ordinary, law abiding U.S. citizens. He emphasized that, even then, nearly eight …
The Twitter Files revealed that an unholy alliance between the Democratic Party, the FBI, Big Tech, and the legacy media worked together to interfere in the 2020 presidential election. These powerful entities abused their power to achieve a common goal: to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story. The revelations expose a concerted effort to manipulate …
While watching and listening to the Biden team’s continued efforts to enlist Big Tech as propaganda and/or censorship tools, the only thing missing from their promotion of that policy, was the clarification that “it is the right thing to do!!” I was beside myself, immediately sat down and started this missive, for that announcement is …
Whether or not you think Elon Musk’s 9.2 percent stake in Twitter will stop or at least reduce the company’s undisguised efforts to censor conservative content on their platform, this news has certainly catapulted the issue of free speech into the national conversation. Simultaneous admissions from major media outlets that the Hunter Biden laptop story …
Peter Schweizer, conservative author and president of the Government Accountability Institute, joined Fox News’ Mark Levin on Sunday night to discuss his new book, “Redhanded: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win,” which will be released on Tuesday. Schweizer’s team spent over a year conducting research for this book and what they uncovered …
