Mitt Romney Reveals Twisted Reason Why Congress Moved to Ban TikTok
Mitt Romney Reveals Twisted Reason Why Congress Moved to Ban TikTok
It’s not about national security, after all.
Dumbasses don't get that the protests are pro Palestine, not pro Hamas. The protests are against Netanyahu's regime and the actions of the Israeli government towards the Palestinian population and not Jewish people.
Out of touch privileged classes that control the world's governments are the problem. Beyond race or religion, it has been and will always be class warfare.
So, is Israel going to replace all the homes of civilians they blew up, or are they going to build new luxury condos? Just watch and see what they do next. Any one paying attention to actual civilian reports on the ground already knows Netanyahu's intentions.
They get it just fine, they are just desperate to influence the narrative in any way no matter the cost
“Some wonder why there was such overwhelming support for us to shut down potentially TikTok or other entities of that nature. If you look at the postings on TikTok and the number of mentions of Palestinians relative to other social media sites, it’s overwhelmingly so among TikTok broadcasts. So I’d note that’s of real interest, and the President will get the chance to make action in that regard,” Romney said.

Blinken's statement serves as a poignant reminder of the west's increasing ineptitude and desperate attempts at control. The direct access provided by social media allows people to see through the carefully crafted narratives and manipulated images that once shielded western propaganda from scrutiny.
This unfiltered exposure, coupled with the emotional resonance it evokes, has left western leaders grasping for straws in their attempts to maintain control over public opinion. In a desperate bid to regain some semblance of authority, they're resorting to banning platforms like TikTok which only serves as further evidence of the west's waning influence and growing irrelevance on the world stage.
As a side note, nothing reveals that US is a single party system like Blinken being interviewed by Romney at the fucking McCain institute.
If the US' official self-understanding as a country with the rule of law, checks and balances and strong protection of private property is true, the TikTok ban should be overturned by any court.
If.
We've let interpretation drift from intent and our politicians speak out of both sides of their mouths.
I'm pro-x, but this type of x causes harm because y.
this would imply they think they have control over non tik Tok social media? doubt. I think this is just old confused people being old confused.
The US corporate social media platforms are part of the US military-industrial-intellegence complex now. Look at their boards of directors and executives. Look at Twitter. Look at Facebook. Look at Hamilton 68. Look at Reddit:
- Jessica Ashooh: The taming of Reddit and the National Security State Plant tabbed to do it
- A Reddit AMA Claiming To Be A Uyghur Quickly Exposes A CIA Asset Slandering China
- r/neoliberal was created by a neoliberal think tank » BPR Interviews: The Neoliberal Project
.
They have their eye on the fediverse now, too: Atlantic Council » Collective Security in a Federated WorldThe moment I was banned from r/geopolitics within 17 minutes, because I mentioned CFR, Bilderberg, USAID, Atlantic Council and Murdoch network being the control pivots of western psyops media, I understood Reddit is fucked down to its core.
While this is just old-people being confused and told what to do by Israeli lobbyists, it's worth noting that the US has a great deal of influence over Facebook, many newspapers like the NYT, Washintgon Post, Youtube, and even Twitter. Not total control mind you, but enough where if they want a particular video delisted, or don't like that a trend is happening, they have ways they can shut it down.
Not so with Tiktok (or most of the other less popular social media apps.)
I showed the Romney Blinken interview from sino to my Palestinian friend yesterday. He was not shocked, because I have told him these things for years.
Consolidated sang it back in the mid 90s
[Chorus]
Look at the new face of power
In America
This is your future
You can never leave
Who said tyranny can't be fun?
Friendly fascism
Having so much fun
What else do you need?Look in the upper right hand corner, just below the The New Republic logo. See that? "Opinion".
People are acting as though this is factual news, rather than interpretation and spin.
It is factually Mitt Romney's opinion, who is a sitting senator. That is factual news, ot spin.
