By Exposing Hamilton 68, The ‘Twitter Files’ Proved The Deep State Is A Weapon Aimed Directly At You
In a recent addition to the “Twitter Files,” Matt Taibbi revealed to the public how Twitter — the preferred social media platform of politicians, academics, and journalists — co-opted the algorithmic blacklist of a bipartisan neoliberal propaganda outfit known as Hamilton 68.
Hamilton 68 was a digital dashboard that, as my colleague Emily Jashinsky recently discussed, was used to perpetuate and mainstream the myth of Russian interference in American politics through algorithmic censorship and suppression.
Sen. David Richards: Bill C-11 Takes Us Into the Very Realms We Have Fought to Depose Over the Last 70 Years
Honourable colleagues,
There is a certain essay by Cicero called “The Second Philippic” which was written to expose the power of the state against freedom of speech and freedom of thought—and the power of one man, Marc Antony. It is a brilliant proclamation and shows Cicero at his best and bravest. It was delivered in the Roman Senate, and Cicero paid for writing it with his life. His hands were cut off and taken to Marc Antony, as proof that Cicero would never write again.
Cicero lived in a dangerous time.

Jamie Sarkonak: The Liberals’ giant subsidy for lefty academics to bolster their censorship legislation
In preparation for the tabling of new laws to censor “harmful” online content, federal officials are spending millions of dollars researching subtle forms of racism, “queerphobic cyber-violence,” (alt-)right-wing attitudes in gaming, credibility attacks on journalists and the use of children to counter “misinformation” within their families.
Dutch Gov’t Plans New Digital ID Project With Canada, Says WEF Initiative Is Done
The initiative launched by the World Economic Forum (WEF) to test the use of digital credentials in travel with the participation of Canada and the Netherlands has been finalized, says the Dutch government, which is now planning a new digital identity project with Ottawa.
This news comes after Transport Canada recently told The Epoch Times all parties involved in the Known Traveller Digital Identity (KTDI) WEF initiative were “committed to close out the project,” suggesting that some aspects could have been ongoing.
UK: Army spied on lockdown critics
A shadowy Army unit secretly spied on British citizens who criticised the Government’s Covid lockdown policies, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
Military operatives in the UK’s ‘information warfare’ brigade were part of a sinister operation that targeted politicians and high-profile journalists who raised doubts about the official pandemic response.
They compiled dossiers on public figures such as ex-Minister David Davis, who questioned the modelling behind alarming death toll predictions, as well as journalists such as Peter Hitchens and Toby Young. Their dissenting views were then reported back to No 10.
Censorship, Mass Surveillance and Bugs: World Economic Forum vs. The Free World
The World Economic Forum’s nation-crushing empire looks like a chop shop that has stolen parts from the world’s worst dictatorships in order to create Frankenstein’s “woke” monster. It has swiped the Aztecs’ penchant for human sacrifice to ward off bad weather, the Chinese communists’ love of total control and the eradication of traditional culture, the Italian fascists’ society-squeezing partnership with corporate monopolists, and the German Nazis’ belief in a “master race” — chiefly the celebrities, bankers, crony capitalists, and potentates who assemble in Davos and elsewhere to applaud their own achievements and further implement their “master plan,” which the WEF affectionately calls “The Great Reset.”
As Klaus Schwab, himself, recently declared to his potpourri of princely guests, the WEF intends to “master the future,” and who better to “master” what has not yet been written than those who view the rest of the planet’s inhabitants as little more than servants and serfs?
Feds ‘Committed’ to Complete WEF-Initiated Digital ID Project, Says Transport Canada
Canada’s participation in a World Economic Forum (WEF) initiative to test digital ID in travel had stalled due to the pandemic, but Transport Canada says the entities involved are committed to bringing the project to a close.
“All partners remain committed to working together to close out the project and disseminate the knowledge gained through this initiative,” Transport Canada spokesperson Hicham Ayoun told The Epoch Times.
Canadian military finances technology to collect social media data despite claims it was shutting down such efforts
Six months after National Defence claimed it was shutting down efforts to collect social media data of Canadians, the military was back again developing new technology to accomplish such tasks.
Defence firms and other companies were given almost $10 million to develop new ways to analyze social media and sift through accounts.
Is it me or is there just a lot more crap than ususal going on in Canada this week?
Supreme Court to decide if police need court order to obtain IP addresses
The Supreme Court of Canada will hear arguments Tuesday on whether police need a court order to obtain an individual’s IP address, in a case civil liberties groups say has Canadians’ online privacy at stake.
Shot in the act: How an explosion in surveillance video is transforming the justice system
Highway cameras track an accused killer in an SUV travelling across Toronto before and after a double murder. A neighbour’s street-facing home security camera captures a man slashing his estranged wife to death with a machete in a driveway across the street.
These are just two examples from recent murder trials at the downtown Superior Court, where judges and juries routinely gaze for hours at computer monitors showing video footage and other digital evidence.
Fifteen years ago it was rare for a killing to be caught on video.
Should Canada follow U.S. lead and make anti-impaired technology mandatory in all new cars?
One of the worst aspects of seeing your family ripped apart by a drunk driver, said Brenda Simmons, is knowing that it could have been avoided with political will and the right application of technology.
“If somebody didn’t have the decency, or they didn’t have the decision-making capacity [and they] still decide to get behind the wheel, if that vehicle didn’t start because of some mandatory technology, my son would still be here,” she told CBC News.
Destroying American Democracy – An Inside Job
Over the last few years, there has been much written about the destruction of American democracy. Frequently the threat has been of alleged interference in U.S. elections by Russia, China or other state actors. Government agencies, the name of election integrity, were assigned to identify and disrupt these foreign intrusions. As more and more information is revealed about these agencies, it seems that America’s Intelligence Community participated in these activities domestically, and in a way that poses a grave threat to both election integrity and American democracy.
FBI reveals it uses CIA and NSA to spy on Americans
The FBI revealed how the bureau uses the CIA and National Security Agency to probe the private lives of Americans without a warrant in its updated rulebook, which is the first version made public since the Obama administration.
The handbook, rewritten in 2021, confirms a decade-old leak showcasing the bureau’s collaboration with the CIA and NSA for FBI probes that may involve surveillance without court orders against people not accused of any crimes. Such probes are known as “assessments” at the FBI.
