As You are aware B.J. , here in Canada Bill C11 is somewhat of a carbon copy of the "Disinformation Governance Board" proposed in the US. Unfortunately , we are stuck under an unholy alliance (NDP/Liberal ) CARTEL!. However, I am hopeful the grass roots uprising initiated by the Trucker Rally will bring about the change to push this Ideological leviathan back to the underground !

FREEDOM vs SLAVERY

.

Darwin’s Law of the Survival of the Fittest describes both why and how Capitalism shaped the populations of Europe and parts of East Asia to meet its needs. Intelligence within capitalist economies was highly valued, so over time the percentage of some segments of the populations increased while others decreased. Average IQ increased significantly.

.

When slaves were brought to North America their living standards decreased and their Freedoms were taken away from them. It isn’t clear which of the two was the most damaging in the short term, however their loss of Freedom created the greatest long-term harm. Humans everywhere seek to control their environment and have developed very elaborate means of achieving that. Individuals who own properties and other forms of wealth have more Control and therefore more power that those who do not. While many forms of Control are obvious, others can be subtle and more difficult to detect.

.

Perhaps the greatest Control that anyone could acquire is the ability to influence how other people think. At one extreme, individuals may be unaware that they are being Controlled and have no wish to change anything. Mainstream Media is a powerful tool that has been used by governments in Western countries to influence people’s thoughts, but recently that Control has been placed at risk.

.

With each passing day more and more people are skipping their daily brainwashing session with MSM and are getting their News directly from the Internet. That is having two impacts. Firstly, governments and the wealthy are losing the degree of Control that they have long enjoyed. But this has also created difficulties for ordinary citizens. When News was packaged by MSM people were told what they should think. They could accept or reject messages, but they rarely had to spend much time thinking through the issues. When people obtain information directly from the Internet the first decision, they must make is which sources to listen to, and which should be ignored. A large segment of Western populations is currently grappling with these issues.

.

The current situation is terrifying to the Elites and minions within Western governments who have long benefited from a high degree of Control of their populations. As MSM influence has diminished they have fallen back to using Wealth as a source of Control. It should be obvious to all that a poor population, one deeply in debt is much easier to Control than a relatively wealthy one.

.

The choices made by people today will determine if they will be truly free or live as slaves. And it is obvious that those from Nations with populations long accustomed to significant Freedoms and Rights will respond differently from those accustomed to the ways of Totalitarian and Authoritarian governments. You can anticipate they will even react differently to a message about Freedom.
