COVID Censorship (VIRAL DEPLATFORMING)

Publisher’s Note: Less than one month ago, as the COVID wave broke over the United States, we published a video featuring Brian Rose of LONDON REAL, and we suggested that a COVID BOTH/AND approach – 1) isolate the most vulnerable among us from the “coronavirus” AND 2) embrace “herd immunity” and take reasonable precautions while we worked to develop testing protocols – might make the most sense for Vermont and the US moving forward. What a difference one month makes. As of Easter Sunday, the “Lords of the Cloud” have completely “disappeared” Rose’s LONDON REAL multimedia business – removing with no explanation his LONDON REAL channels at Google/YouTube, Microsoft/LinkedIn, Facebook etc. His egregious error? Publishing this 2 + hour interview with David Icke, which precipitated Rose’s sudden deplatforming. Independent journalists and entrepreneurs across the Internet are reporting similar experiences, as free speech, like our social freedoms, seem to be disappearing almost overnight. No easy answers here, but Rose is keeping his chin up, and we like his concept of “extreme ownership.” Meanwhile, civic organizations are producing measuring tools to track freedom fo speech and freedom of assembly restrictions in real time. One good step. Free Vermont!
