Some of us even built a media company on the gaming app Discord. The same one I would yell at my grandsons for spending too much time on. IRL Media Productions. Over 4,000 members and 70 researchers. Today IRL Media is banned on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Discord has been taken down. We’re still here as independents. Personally, my last unbanned but permanently restricted Facebook account was finally taken out last Friday but we did document, back up and archive it all on our own servers. Just patiently waiting on the fall out from this Info War. We Have It All. Q

The citizen journalist is most needed in Canada as we have a government subsidized(read bought off) corporate media which is Justin Trudeau's Ministry of Propaganda.

The Canadian "Legacy" MSM are currently being funded to the tune of $1.2 billion a year(in American terms it's more like $12-15 billion a year).

Trudeau's government are putting the final touches on rolling out official online censorship which would effectively call any media source criticizing the government, his policies and himself as hate speech and criminalize it. Means removal, heavy fines and possibly prison time for the guilty parties.

Here is the opposition leader, Pierre Poilievre's response to Trudeau's planned actions, be prepared for some scorching, in Canadian terms, comments from him.

We have a WEF mafia cartel in charge of Canada who are now so openly corrupt they don't care to hide it any longer.

Including WEF board member Chrystia Freeland who is Canada's Deputy Prime Minister AND Finance Minister.

If you don't follow Rebel News, it's worth a look. Founded by Ezra Levant when Quebecor shut down Sun News Canada during Trudope's first go at leadership. Ezra and associates were going after Trudope and doing so effectively. I still remember the morning when we got up, we were living in Cranbrook, BC at the time, and tuned to the Sun morning show (cable channel 517, I still remember it). Nothing there. Gone. Shut down by pressure from the Liberal Party on Quebecor.

Rebel News manage on viewer donations, and in addition provide legal assistance to people mistreated by Government. Tamara Lich and the truckers, for instance. Artur Pawlowski, another.

Thanks for the reminder. I saw their video at Davos with the president/CEO (can’t remember his exact role) and thought it was pretty good.(and funny!) I’ll be checking out their site more often…

Oops I meant president of Gates Foundation. The guy didn’t utter a peep or change his expression throughout the whole “interview”. They were a lot of biting questions about Gates’ relationship to Epstein. It was pretty hilarious.

I follow both Rebel News and True North https://tnc.news/ plus some other smaller podcasters on YT like Northern Perspective. https://www.youtube.com/@northernperspective00

These and other sources are the targets of the ‘hate speech’ law Trudeau is trying to bring in.

Trudeau won’t be as successful as he thinks in shutting them down, as he was hoping to cutoff social media based news like Meta/Facebook and Google, he seems to be unaware of how the internet works.

Unless he spends billions to put up a massive hardware firewall (something the Canadian telecoms will fight) he’s never going to stop people from getting at the truth.

There are ways around firewalls, anyway. VPNs and anonymizers... several to choose from.

You may know about these already, GRY, as you seem pretty tech savvy. This info posted for the benefit of others who read this, and do not know 💖

Former IT admin so I’ve seen the ways around IP blocks but VPNs can be stopped, they do it in China all the time but it requires a hardware based solution where IP packet headers(not the payload/content) are scanned for target and destination and blocked as well as the ability to simply stop accepting traffic from end-user IPs.

This is the billion dollar solution if Trudeau really wants to turn Canada’s internet into North Korea/China social credit wonderland.

TV is going to collapse. Maybe they will play the Star Spangled Banner one last time, before it all goes black. I imagine it will be a shock to people who spent 80 years watching CBS from 6 am until midnight.

God, I hope so. It is almost unwatchable now.

We need a parallel creative community - writers, actors, musicians, producers, etc. - that is entirely unwoke (aka not racist), uncondescending, un-hammer-hitting us over the head with liberal othodoxy, and which promotes wholesome values and has a moral business ethic.

Ryan,

Great article! In High School, in the mid-1960's I was associate editor of the local hometown High School Paper, a once per month paper of an average of eight 8 1/2" X 11" pages.

Our journalists could run circles around today's average MSM journalist! They new how to write, starting from the most news worthy in the opening paragraph or two and then giving the rest of the story in descending order so whenever the reader decided to quit reading a given article the "big news" was not in the last few paragraphs.

Many of today's MSM journalists remind me of "snowflakes" who need "safe spaces" and "play dough" to feel secure when challenged!

Citizen Journalist's Rock!

Keep up the good work!

They are all laying off and giving up really too easily. It's not difficult to actually pick up the banner of original journalism and start to research directly into the what/where/when/why/how of a situation or an incident. Not slide into the lazy way of getting their news from social media.

It's too simple for them to just "hollow out" their "news" departments. I don't think they are "giving up" - personally, I think this being an election year, they will fully employ techs and engage AI to write their "stories" and narratives. They don't need "reporters" or "opinion editors" anymore - they can still claim the Media title and engage 100% in fake news: AI and all the newest developments of vocal and video manipulations. And they have ALWAYS believed the public are stupid enough to believe "everything they see in a video that looks 99% realistic" They learned that with their social media engagements and manipulations, already. Nope, don't get your hopes up...."media" is doing a landslide shift into AI, ESPECIALLY in an election year! (smh in disgust)

Excellent piece. Spot on, every point.

Like many in the 'citizen journalism' community (former regular on two daily newscasts on Patriots' Soapbox, current regular on Last Scout Radio), I've had my share of CIC run-ins: 'permanently suspended' from @jack's Twitter plus shadowbanned; content removed by Youtube; sent to Facebook 'jail' several times, etc.).

I was never at the 'blue checkmark' level of the 'digital warriors' who regularly provide reporting of this caliber.

I post your work daily on Truth Social and X, trying to do my part to get the 'news' out to as many as possible.

Call us the 'support team'.

'Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach.'

Stay strong. Stay focused.

And keep turning out stellar analysis like the above.

Thanks for reading and for all of your support 🙏 I suspect they’re going to use these new legal frameworks to attempt another massive censorship campaign. Idk what it’ll look like but they have to try something, and all that’s going to do is further justify our position. I think we’re past the point where they can put the genie back in the bottle regarding the popularity of decentralized media. idk what it’ll look like but the next year is going to be wild!

I went to journalism school in the 1980’s where we learned the importance of truth in journalism. We were beat over the head daily with the importance of keeping ourselves out of the story, of having good sources, of letting “the reader decide.”

In 1997 I was working in the small newsroom of a station that covered regional news outside of Boston. I was on the air for afternoon drive time. It was at this job I saw the news begin to change and not just in our newsroom but every newsroom everywhere. The change was remarkable and confusing because it went against everything we knew. The news coming over the wire had a decidedly liberal bent and as we were considered a more conservative talk news station, we’d literally rewrite the news to be more centered. My news director and I spent those years in deep conversations about what was happening. We both knew this was the beginning of something sinister. There was no mistaking it.

That was the beginning of my awakening. I went down many rabbit holes soon after that and never looked back. I left journalism soon after, just in time for 911.

Real news has been DOA since the mid to late 90’s. It was a very unique and illuminating experience to be there.

And at the very top of the human chain of command are the Ruling Families - the majority of which, lol, are Italian, some of whom can trace their ancestry all the way back not just to the Middle Ages but to Rome.

Very interesting. I hate to keep returning to this same thing I have been screeching about for years now, people are just now starting to understand how dangerous it was when Obama and the Uniparty Revised The Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 in 2012.

Social Media was created so the C_A could spy on the people. When they know what people are talking about within their social groups, they can then prepare propaganda to direct how groups of people can then be manipulated into thinking and acting in the NWO/DS desired way. For example if a Low income area had a police related shooting and they what to create more distrust toward Law enforcement they will propagandize the news report to make it appear the black man shot was innocent to manipulate the people into rioting exactly like they started doing back starting during the George Floyd incident and the Summer of Love in Portland, OR.

Now they see that this is backfiring on them because they expected the people to use their new hand held computers to play games and socialize, they never expected us to use it for research and instantly blowing up their talking point narrative so they took all the guard rails off the Smith-Mundt Act so our Government and Media can program the people openly and now legally with Propaganda and Opinion, now by labeling our corrections to their story's as being Mal, Dis, and Misinformation they are effectively shutting down the truth from reaching the people by casting doubt onto our corrections.

Thank you Ryan, for mentioning Gary Webb. A personal hero of mine and an early martyr for truth. His expose’ on Iran/Contra and the Crack Epidemic is being proved every day at our southern border. Just like Fast and Furious armed cartels, we have an Opioid and Fentanyl Epidemic now. It’s the same playbook
