This would be comical if it didn’t reflect how little those involved in this care about their supposed field of endeavor.
Decades ago, a “sci-fi” author friend of mine once chided me for lumping fantasy together with science-fiction. He was absolutely right, since science-fiction is supposed to incorporate real science – and the authors in that field work hard to get their science right…
A waterfall, or an avalanche? Take your pick.
If likened to a waterfall, the Silicon Valley Bank Collapse that dominated U.S. news Friday and through the weekend was sourced from years of central bank inflation and risk-inspiring federal policies that led to it and has seen bits of key info, like detritus, flowing into view behind it.
And like an avalanche, the SVB crash has deep,…
As MRCTV readers likely know, last week I reported on a breaking story that offered a rare kind of personal satisfaction. Journalist Matt Taibbi had brought to global attention what I and a few others have told people, on and off, since 2016: the U.S. government has used a clearly unconstitutional statute called the Portman-Murphy Countering Foreign Propaganda Act to fund media…
New developments in a gun-rights story that began last fall appear to indicate that public outcry is having a salutary effect on at least some credit card corporations when it comes to whether they will collect gun shop purchase data that anti-gun political figures have sought for them to obtain and store.
In September, we reported that the International Organization for Standardization (IOS), a…
In a world in which the vast majority of Americans never question the immorality of a tax-funded scam machine that regularly coughs up bureaucrats to fill a government post called “Treasury Secretary,” one wonders whether many of those same Americans will stand for the newest “kindness” targeting them.
It comes from “Treasury Secretary” Janet Yellen, who, fast on the heels of her “surprise”…
Word spread quickly after local Florida media reported that a state senator named Jason Brodeur (R) recently filed an “information dissemination” bill that would require anyone the state called a “reporter” or “blogger” who writes “an article, a story, or a series of stories” about “the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature” to register with the…
Journalist Matt Taibbi runs three tracks and ties them together in what could be one of the most stunning releases of internal Twitter communications to date.
This 17th tranche of "Twitter Files" exposing censorship and corruption at the company pre-Elon Musk's takeover sees Taibbi not only expose shocking Atlantic Council's attempts to silence tens of thousands of Twitter users, it sees him…
The euphemism, “a new fold in the story,” became technologically ironic this week, as angry readers claimed that Amazon appears to have replaced their purchased versions of digital Roald Dahl Kindle books with the new, “sanitized for your woke protection,” pseudo-Dahl books about which we have reported at MRCTV.
Olivia Rondeau reports for The Post Millennial:
“Readers who own digital copies of…
In one of his famous Sherlock Holmes tales, Arthur Conan Doyle sees the great British sleuth infer a culprit’s identity by realizing that a guard dog did NOT bark at an intruder.
The implication is that the intruder was known and liked by the animal, which leads Holmes to pinpoint the baddie. When a guard dog is silent around a familiar person, figures Holmes, and that same dog did not bark at…
Leave it to pop media to perform two-fers when it comes to perpetuating lies about the U.S. government.
In a March 1 headline reading “US Senate moves toward ending 'forever war' authorizations,” the message-massagers at Reuters not only invited readers to think that the US Senate might be considering a bill to prohibit Congress from passing legislation allowing any future open-ended…
