Most legacy media and various others seem to characterize Israel as a dictatorship and Netanyahu is in charge of everything. I do not believe this viewpoint and would appreciate it if BP could take a few moments to describe what a “Unity Gorvernment” is and what are the known viewpoints of any of the members, is Bibi the only one who believes in his plan for Palestine or does he have some/any support from the governmental members?. Krystal and Saagar mention it once in a while but usually in general terms.
UK journalist Richard Medhurst has recently posted on Rumble that the real reason for the genocide in Gaza is access to natural gas reserves off the shores of Gaza. Months ago I had read about Richie Sunak's family investments in drilling off Gaza. Following the money trail beyond the MIC and AIPAC, this story is worth pursuing. I hope you consider interviewing Richard Medhurst for details. https://rumble.com/v4jtsdl-floating-dock.html
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the Murthy v Missouri (formerly Missouri v. Biden) lawsuit today, the case from which judge Doughty issued an injunction against all federal agencies barring them pressuring, coercing, or collaborating with social media companies to censor speech behind the scenes. It sounded like today's reception by the judges was a little bit hard to determine one way or another. What do you make of the situation? The New York Times wrote a huge story in the Sunday edition yesterday titled "How Trump's Allies are winning the war over Disinformation" in which it really twisted and smeared Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger's reporting. It basically painted them as having gotten all of their reporting from a Trump guy, rather than from actual documents. They seemingly printed Renee Diresta's famous quote about how important it is for CISA to protect America's "Cognitive Infrastructure" from bad ideas as if it was not an orwellian tell, which was almost as surreal as it was creepy. It's worth a read if you followed the censorship and anti-disinformation stuff over the last year. It was like a summary of all the damning stuff that came out about what the government was doing, but spinning it in a positive light, presumably in case it could "pre-bunk" it for a justice or two. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/17/us/politics/trump-disinformation-2024-social-media.html https://www.racket.news/p/on-todays-absurd-new-york-times-hit (Taibbi's response) https://thedailyscroll.substack.com/p/march-18-2024-the-censorship-regime (From Tablet Magazine. Hawkish on Israel, but dutiful in covering internet freedom issues) This, in my opinion, is one of the most consequential speech rulings in the internet age. I think it's going to be a huge factor in what the relationship between the internet, big tech, and government is going forward, but I'm curious what you guys think.
