Article – From Censorship To Surveillance: Facebook’s Booming Infrastructure

“Facebook suspended Jamie Allman’s account after he posted a video of hundreds of black Trump supporters chanting ‘we love Trump’ in DC.”

“Twitter locked the account of Republican Senate candidate Lauren Witzke yet again.”

“We have a Democrat advisor telling Breitbart News, ‘I’m sympathetic to Twitter and Facebook being our adjudicators.’  That’s right, they’re going to control your speech,”  said David Knight On 10/19/2020’s show.

“It’s truly amazing the level of censorship we’ve now reached a little past two years after the big tech companies came after Infowars and yours truly.  We said it was going to happen, that they’d come after President Trump if he didn’t do something about it, now it has.  Welcome to the club, President Trump.  All he did was the occasional tweet whining about it, he didn’t use the power of the Presidency to address it.”

Knight continues,  “This is a pattern that I’ve seen many times before when the government wants something done but doesn’t want to be seen doing it.  An obvious example is the presidential debates.  They create a commission that’s only populated by Republicans and Democrats who want only other Republicans and Democrats in the debates.  Then they say ‘it’s a private organization, we don’t tell them what to do.’  They can do whatever they want including censoring the candidates if they wish.”

“I saw this first hand in North Carolina.  If you’re not a Republican or Democrat you have to jump through all kinds of extra hoops to get on the ballot.  That’s why the Constitution party isn’t on the ballot in most places.  The Libertarian party knows how to get on the ballot in all 50 states but they spend most of their effort and energy on that, then don’t have any money left to reach out to people.”

“In North Carolina, they turn it over to the Press Association who decides who they want on the debates so the government can say ‘It’s not us, it’s a private organization.'”

“Exactly the same thing they’re doing with social media.  The big tech companies are the front men for partisan government censorship.”

“We talked about the massive data center that was being built by the NSA in Utah about five or six years ago.  Now that sort of thing has been outsourced to Facebook.  The surveillance state proposed ‘LifeLog’ as a way to store info about everybody and everything.  People said they didn’t want the government doing that so they left it to Zuckerburg.  The day they shutdown LifeLog was the same day they launched Facebook, February 4th, 2004, the very same day.”

“Now Facebook is building data centers all over the country.  They’re spending $800 million apiece on data centers in Tennessee and Illinois.  They’re planning a huge expansion to the already massive Georgia data center, bringing their total investment there to a billion dollars.  In Ohio, they’re spending more than a billion dollars on a new data center.”

“That’s just a sample of the headlines.  In 2019 Facebook spent more than $16 billion on data centers.”

“As Palantir has pointed out, these things that you look into to get information can look back into you.  That’s the example they chose, they openly refer to that analogy from Lord of the Rings.”

“Once the internet became practical in the 90s the CIA was so into this they created their own venture capital firm, In-Q-Tel.  Normally they like to do things behind the scenes, and of course, the NSA did do it behind the scenes by putting individuals on the boards of other venture capital firms.  But the CIA just came right out front with In-Q-Tel.”

“These data centers are the result.  I don’t know the total capacity of these data centers but I bet you it’s beyond what the NSA did in Utah.”

“Microsoft is doing the same thing, one story made the news because Microsoft is fighting with the construction company that built their data center near San Antonio.  Another story made news because they’re building it in Arizona and they need a lot of water for cooling.”

“A lot of this is coming up because it raises some issues for water and power in these areas.  It raised big issues in Utah when the NSA built their data center.”

“Isn’t it interesting that the Green New Deal people don’t have anything to say about this kind of energy usage?  They don’t want you moving around in your car but these data centers that take more power and water than the entire cities they’re built around aren’t a problem for the Green New Deal people.”

“The Green New Deal was simply about enforcing the UN’s agenda 2030, which is what you’re now seeing done under the excuse of COVID,”  Knight concluded.
