Congress said TikTok was a Chinese national security threat. The real threat was Palestinians exposing genocide — and billionaires like Ellison and Murdoch swooped in to silence them.
Thank you so much. You make sense of all the incomprehensible insanity. I learned long ago, as a volunteer in the prison system, that the reason things don't change is because some people really like it the way it is. It was a hard lesson. I thought we were just ignorant about "what works." And as soon as we figured it out, we could do away with prisons. Silly me. And this Gaza situation infuriates me. I used to love Israel, but now only see it as a bloodthirsty terrorist state, with the help of MY COUNTRY! As soon as my financial situation is under control, you will have me as a paid subscriber...hopefully soon!
Add to this billionaire’s club controlling the narrative:
* AIPAC—single handedly corrupted Washington and has an iron grip on most of Congress
* Israel—wields so much power/control/influence over American politics that Netanyahu’s cyber chief, Tom Alexandrovich, literally just went home after felony arrest for luring/attempting to lure a child online for sex
* Evangelical Christianity:
* Politics → powerhouse voting bloc shaping conservative policy. And evangelicals outweigh AIPAC in voter mobilization and cultural influence, which often has a bigger impact in elections than dollars alone.
* Media → obviously Fox everything, but also normalization of evangelical presence in athletics and sports as a platform for faith
* evangelist built one of the most robust alternative media ecosystems in the U.S., rivaling mainstream outlets in reach among their audiences.
* Visible Evangelical sports subculture → high-profile athletes and coaches (NFL, NBA, MLB, college sports) openly identify as evangelical Christians
* Encourages athletes to use their platform to witness about faith, lead post-game prayers, etc.
* Evangelicals are dominating influence through sheer numbers + turnout + local organizing. Their money is spread out across Republican-aligned PACs and candidates.
The two most powerful religions in America + the two most idiotic, greedy political parties and their “bipartisan” bullshit + Trump and his Oligarch Dream Team + Netanyahu’s TikTok = Information Nationalism
But here’s my problem you can’t corrupt honest people…offer them money sure go ahead put honorable people don’t take bribes. They don’t vote the way you want based on the size of your contribution. The problem isn’t that they try to corrupt it’s that they have willing accomplishes in DC with open money bags and empty briefcases and black hearts.

It’s my honor
This is so infuriating. I like my info uncensored.
THIS IS SO IMPORTANT AND SO WORRISOME. GOD HELP US.
Btw Bari Weiss is a staunch supporter of the genocide.
Thank you for this important piece.
Absolutely she is
Everyone needs to delete TikTok immediately
“They’re all honorable men, these honorable men.”—-The well manicured man, from the X Files.
The only correct response is for people in all countries to abandon the Tic Tok platform entirely.

thank you! Trump tried to ban it in 2020 and signed the original executive order in August 6, 2020 (https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-addressing-threat-posed-tiktok/) and then later acted like HE was saving it as if people do not remember it was him who started this in the first place. smh at all the gaslighting. anyway. Now everyone knows what it was all truly about and all agree that it's just insane and will not fall for their terrible propaganda. https://redacted.inc/2025/09/it-was-never-about-china-u-s-tiktok-grab-tied-to-israels-propaganda-war/
