Reporters Once Challenged the Spy State. Now, They’re Agents of It

After the Capitol riots of January 6th, the War on Terror came home, and “domestic extremists” stepped into the role enemy combatants played before. George Bush once launched an all-out campaign to pacify any safe haven for trrrsts, promising to “smoke ‘em out of their holes.” The new campaign is aimed at stamping out areas for surveillance-proof communication, which CNN security analyst and former DHS official Juliette Kayyem described as any online network “that lets [domestic extremists] talk amongst themselves.”

Reporters pledged assistance, snooping for evidence of wrongness in digital rather than geographical “hidey holes.” We’ve seen The Guardian warning about the perils of podcasts, ProPublica arguing that Apple’s lax speech environment contributed to the January 6th riot, and reporters from The Verge and Vice and The New York Times listening in to Clubhouse chats in search of evidence of dangerous thought. In an inspired homage to the lunacy of the War on Terror years, a GQ writer even went on Twitter last week to chat with the author of George Bush’s “Axis of Evil” speech about imploring the “authorities” to use the “Fire in a Crowded Theater” argument to shut down Fox News.

Multiple outlets announced plans to track “extremists” in either open or implied cooperation with authorities. Frontline, ProPublica, and Berkley Journalism’s Investigative Reporting Program used “high-precision digital forensics” to uncover “evidence” about the Boogaloo Bois, and the Huffington Post worked with the “sedition hunters” at the Twitter activist group “Deep State Dogs” to help identify a suspect later arrested for tasering a Capitol police officer. One of the Huffington Post stories, from February, not only spoke to a willingness of the press to work with law enforcement, but impatience with the slowness of official procedure compared to “sleuthing communities”:

The FBI wants photos of Capitol insurrections to go viral, and has published images of more than 200 suspects. But what happens when online sleuthing communities identify suspects and then see weeks go by without any signs of action…? There are hundreds of suspects, thousands of hours of video, hundreds of thousands of tips, and millions of pieces of evidence… the FBI’s bureaucracy isn’t necessarily designed to keep organized.

NATURE publishes insane rant by Texas pediatrician Peter Hotez, who seemingly calls for United Nations SHOCK TROOPS to wage “counteroffensive” against all anti-vaxxers

A dean at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, is essentially calling for United Nations shock troops to hunt down and silence all anti-vaxxers as a way to stop what he calls “anti-vax aggression.”

Echoing the fascism of genocidal maniacs like Hitler and Stalin, Peter Hotez displays his own brand of insanity by equating vaccine skeptics with cyber criminals and nuclear terrorism, calling for an armed “counteroffensive” run by law enforcement to target and attack all who oppose vaccines, including vaccine-damaged whistleblowers, apparently.

Somehow, NATURE thinks this is a scientifically-worthy rant to publish, since NATURE is of course part of the very same vaccine mafia that’s currently targeting humanity for genocidal extermination.

Much like an increasing number of hostile doctors and medical researchers who have become dangerous vaccine zealots, Hotez has abandoned any remaining pretense of informed consent and now believes all of humanity should be forced at gunpoint to not merely take all government-mandated vaccines, but to be threatened into silence at gunpoint if they disagree with pro-vaccine propaganda.

He writes about all this in a seemingly deranged rant published by NATURE, which states:

Halting the spread of the coronavirus will require a high-level counteroffensive against new destructive forces.

Efforts must expand into the realm of cyber security, law enforcement, public education and international relations. A high-level inter-agency task force reporting to the UN secretary-general could assess the full impact of anti-vaccine aggression, and propose tough, balanced measures. The task force should include experts who have tackled complex global threats such as terrorism, cyber attacks and nuclear armament, because anti-science is now approaching similar levels of peril. It is becoming increasingly clear that advancing immunization requires a counteroffensive.

Hotez apparently supports vaccine violence against children, then calls those who oppose him “aggressors”

In his bizarre rant, Hotez claims there are “targeted attacks on scientists” but doesn’t name a single scientist who has been physically attacked, harmed or killed by any so-called “anti-vaxxer.” To halt this fictitious “aggression,” he then calls for, quite literally, targeted (armed) attacks on anti-vaxxers, essentially explaining government forces must be weaponized and aggressively deployed against vaccine skeptics in order to stop “anti-vax aggression” by using a “counteroffensive” of law enforcement (who are obviously armed).

Meanwhile, the very thing he continues to push — unsafe, experimental vaccines — are inflicting medical violence against millions of innocent people around the world right now, spiking the VAERS-reported vaccine deaths by 16,000% in the first quarter of 2021 vs. the first quarter of 2020.

CNN Tells Viewers To “Shun” Friends & Family Who Aren’t Vaccinated

CNN’s Michael Smerconish launched into a rant Wednesday encouraging viewers to “shun” their friends and family who have not taken the COVID-19 shot.

“A lot of folks just aren’t going to do it,” Smerconish lamented, referring to folks taking the COVID jab.

“Here’s an option: There was a USA Today essay that was published by a former prosecutor named Michael Stern – and I discussed this briefly on radio yesterday – he says we’ve got to shun folks, we’ve got to shun people into getting vaccinated.”

ABC News correspondent: ‘Shun’ people who refuse to get COVID-19 vaccine

The senior legal correspondent for ABC News known for lashing out angrily at some 74 million Americans who voted for President Trump and against the pro-abortion and pro-socialist agenda of Joe Biden as “despicable,” now is calling for those Americans who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 to be excluded from society – to be “shunned.”

Sunny Hostin, shortly after the 2020 election, said it was “disheartening” that many millions of Americans would support the pro-America, pro-religious rights and pro-business agenda of President Trump that had sent America’s economy skyrocketing.

“It is un-American,” she charged at the time.

Now Hostin, who is also a co-host on “The View,” has called for those who have not yet gotten, or do not intend to take, the COVID-19 vaccine, which are in use in the United States under an emergency authorization, to be separated from society.

“I say we need to shun those that refuse to get vaccinated,” she charged.

She injected race, religion and politics all into the public health issue, blaming “white evangelicals” and “Republicans” for not doing what she wants.
