Would Pinterest Have Burnt Galileo?

Galileo wasn’t burned at the stake but, for challenging the ruling elite’s version of ‘scientific truth…’

.

…..

…..as Wikipedia explains, he was “sentenced to house arrest where he ‘remained until his death…

000

At that point, heliocentric books were banned and Galileo was ordered to abstain from holding, teaching or defending heliocentric

( that’s our planet going round and round our sun!)

…ideas after the trial .  

If Pinterest had been around in the 17th century, who knows but the snotty social media outfit might well have helped the inquisition stomp Galileo.

oo

For today we read they’ve become the first company to ban “climate misinformation” from its platform in a crackdown on freedom of expression online.

.

The site will no longer permit posts that oppose “the existence or impacts of climate change” or allow its users to question “well-established scientific consensus”.

.

Pinterest confirmed it will use machine learning technology to identify and remove posts that break its new rules…

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2022/04/06/pinterest-ban-climate-misinformation-sparks-freedom-speech-fears/

We’ve seen in the 20th century how there’s no need for ‘machine learning technology…’

.

..

…to remove thinking disliked by the in-crowd.

Indeed, we had a pack of intolerants here in Jakarta…

But wow!

Aren’t Pinterest’s prigs so advanced, to deploy automated bigotry?

I’d boycott the arrogant swine…

…but I never use them.

So let’s at least flood their Facebook page (I’m told they have one!)  with protests!

Meanwhile….

Campaign group Big Brother Watch condemned the move, warning it would be “counterproductive” and encourage distrust of mainstream social media sites…

…

Too true.

Here’s the Big Brother Watch email info@bigbrotherwatch.org.uk.

– maybe see how they plan to fight climate bullying.

UK Pravda’s Bite-Size Bias!

BBC Bitesize has removed references to the “benefits” of climate change on its website, following complaints online.

The most prominent ‘complainer’ is a leftist Guardian hack named Montbiot who got terribly fretty at the thought of schoolchildren having access to an alternative view of a big issue….

…such as “healthier outdoor lifestyles” being  ‘one of the pluses of having warmer temperatures.

Others included easier access to oil in Alaska and Siberia, new shipping routes created by melting ice, and more tourist destinations.

We should not be surprised at this censorship, only that the tax-funded propaganda channel had overlooked a pocket of dissent.

.

.

After all, it’s been three years since UK Pravda issued an edict, telling staff: “You do not need a denier to balance the debate

No surprise, given Lucy Hockings’ record.

At 6pm (Jakarta time ) today, that prominent member of the tax-funded propaganda channel’s Coven introduced a shrew from Greenpeace International.

One might hope Hockings would at least offer us a guest ‘expert’ with facts, figures, scientific arguments, based on professional expertise.

Instead we got a rant about the woke-left concept called ‘climate emergency!’

The woman warbled on and on, authoritarian intolerance exemplified…

=

=

….how oil and air transport companies should have ‘no seats at the table’ when climate policies are discussed.

Fine, if Hockings had somebody from one of those companies to challenge this censorious tripe.

Or anyone!

Of course, Hockings had no such counter-point guest, nor any tough questions to grill the woman.

She just jollied her Greenpeace guest along.

BBC MUST be defunded.

Why Was This Refutation Of Climate Panic Censored?

https://www.theblaze.com/news/environmentalist-apologizes-for-climate-scare?

 

 

UK Guardian Reveals German Media PC Censorship!

Some German leftist, Bernhard Pötter by name, given blabbering space in the leftist UK media, has lifted the lid on the lack of fair play in his own country’s so-called free press.

…

Pötter

..

Much of it is simply a propagandist’s rant against the AfD patriot party, nothing unusual among Germany’s journo-jerk clique, not only in his own paper, but even including the tax-funded broadcaster DW…

After AfD Surge, DW’s Comrade Crane Spews Bilious Bias! 

DW Quadriga ‘Debate’ – A Mere Anti-AfD Insult-Fest! 

Currently, Pötter is all fretty because the AfD is speaking up for Germans who dissent from the Climate Panic narrative…

…and if you toil through his turgid prose, you find a brazen admission that fair play in the German media is a  rare phenomenon.

.

.

…the media rarely give a platform to anyone sceptical about the scale of the climate crisis. https://www.theguardian.com/world/commentisfree/2020/mar/18/climate-change-denial-germany-far-right-afd

Astonishingly, or maybe not, Pötter, himself a journalist, a senior editor with the Tageszeitung, makes that observation with no hint of disapproval.

But then, that Berlin newspaper where he works is notoriously leftist, so we should not expect too much in terms of commitment to balanced debate from its hacks.

Nor indeed to fair play in politics either.

Discussing the AfD’s role as defender of citizens dissenting from the ruling class’s ideological stance on climate…

…here’s his take on the state funding which all legal parties in Germany are entitled to claim.

The party receives public funding, yet is now the main destination for climate crisis denial.

Get that ‘YET!’

Does Herr Pötter object to the fact that the AfD receives public funding, because they disagree with him on climate?

His command of the English language is just fine, so he must realise that’s the message his choice of words clearly sends!

Greens Fear Scots May Hear Both Sides On Climate!

I was this week reminded of Robert Burns’ verse, about a field mouse, was it?

’Wee sleekit, coorin’ timorous beastie! Oh what a panic’s in thy breastie…’

But while the mouse was panicking at the sight of a farmer ploughing his field…

.

…

…the current news from Scotland is of how the Climate Panic crew are in a tizzy, for fear Scots might get a chance to hear dissenting voices on the ‘Climate Change’ debate!

First we read of a condescending geezer named Richard Dixon, ‘director of Friends of the Earth Scotland…’

.

……..

….who evidently thinks the public are too dim-witted to hear any narrative that contradicts his own, too simple-minded to make up their own minds.

According to Dixon, a plan to hold an event at which dissent will be the theme is “designed to confuse” the public and distract from the “actual climate talks” taking place in Glasgow later this year!

Aah, so only ‘talks’ of which Comrade Dixon approves are ‘actual,’ while those he disapproves?

What?

‘Imaginary?’

Bollox!

“The Heartland Institute is one of the principal forces for evil…,” he rants, gibbering that ‘the institute’s “climate reality” forums sounded very similar to former US vice president Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project’ – …

.

….except, of course, that the Heartland Institute’s message is entirely different from, indeed, antagonistic towards, the hypocritical ex-VP’s….

.

….

….so does Dixon think the average Scot is as thick as two planks, too stupid to know the diff?

BTW, here’s the Heartland Institute link –

https://www.heartland.org/

-have a read!

But let’s not dwell on Dixon’s elitist arrogance.

Let’s listen to another shrilly intolerant voice of desperation, who not only wants to deny the opposition’s arguments…

.

…but deny them a venue where they can set forth their arguments for the public to consider!

Pray silence for the perennially unpleasant ‘co-leader’ of Scotland’s Green Party, the notorious Patrick Harvie MSP –

….to tackle climate change, with 30,000 invitation letters landing on people’s doorsteps from 6 November.

Wow!

Thirty thousand out of 30 million voters!

And that’s how parliament plans to get a diverse collection of people together to hear from experts and those with lived experience of the topic being discussed?

https://www.independent.co.uk/environment/climate-change-crisis-peoples-assembly-extinction-rebellion-protests-a9181241.html

Aaah!

Diverse?

Experts?

Will diversity fall at the first hurdle, with only ‘experts’ from one side of the debate getting into the assembly to let the ‘consultees’ hear pro and con opinions?

We need to ask, because there are already attempts all over the world to shut down debate on climate.

Only on the weekend I tuned into the Australian channel ( ABC, so not expecting much!) and there was that dork Peter Fitzsimons…

Peter FitzSimons

…the left fanatic who thinks it’s cute to go about dressed up as a pirate.

Amazingly, he had changed into a tux, and was addressing a bunch of hacks, ranting that there was only one side of the climate debate, the one he agreed with.

His bigotry is alas not unique.

That will fast be winnowed down to just over a hundred!

The assembly will run over four weekends between late January and the middle of March next year in Birmingham. A representative sample of those that respond to the invitation will be selected, with 110 people set to take part. 

And if more than 110 concerned citizens indicate a desire to participate?

Will the Westminster Wallies draw names from a hat?

What a wondrous thing consultation is!
