In 1880 John Swinton was invited to speak at a meeting of journalists in New York City about the freedom of the press. He outraged his colleagues by arguing: "There is no such thing, at this stage of the world’s history in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dare write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my papers, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalist is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."
Are other nations' leaders actually telling America that it needs imports to /survive/? That's retarded, if so. You might lose a lot of raw materials and chips and some high-tech stuff and make a lot of things dependent on such more expensive than today, at worst.
But: that would also lead to a lot less crap being produced. How many thousands of tons of unsold Disney Star Wars merch goes into landfills every year, just to name one completely useless product?
A net win for everyone but the capitalist oligarchs and their state cronies, yes?
Even Sweden could be self-sufficient on electricity and food, if we wanted to. Can't grow avocados here in the Sub-Arctic of course, but so what?
I can tell you our politicos are shitting bricks right now, fearing people will start demanding the DOGE-treatment of government spending. Last time we had a real oversight?
1600s. In short, the King appointed people with unlimited franchise to audit basically everything. Corruption was punished with loss of titles, privileges, all property, and either banishment or public execution.

Like the last guy that kept calling me, gay blocked me after I found his grinder account… more you hate the gays the gayer you seem to be for some reason
I'm not calling you gay, I'm just saying that Apple is known to be a very gay company, and male homosexuality is very closely linked with homo-pedophilia.
I personally was a contractor at gay.com in San Francisco for a year, where I learned that the majority of gay men were sodomized as boys.
The autists will get their chance when they audit HHS, NIH, and FDA.
Maybe they'll have a horrible personal awakening of what their parents and doctors did to them in infancy and early childhood by believing in Rockefeller medicine and unfalsifiable science.
But maybe not, as that is a lot to absorb for a young person.
Maybe they know people in college who were vaccine injured or killed by mandates to spur their motivation.
Or maybe they'll get motivated by RFK Jr. ending the charade with the brainwashed by publicly declaring what he already knows are some of the worst scams ever knowingly foisted on people.
At this pace, it can't be all that much longer until the levee breaks.
Just a quick note: The fbi was started in 1908 against the wishes of Congress. But they got enough dirt on enough congresscritters to coerce funding after that.
The Soviet union wasn't started until 1922 after the revolutions of 1917. So in a very real way, the fbi is not the American kgb but the Soviet kgb was their version of the fbi.

Thankyou Rich
Ready Player One...

High time to do it again, I think.

YOU Nailed It! 🎯
Good ones
Brilliant as always. But I still have the queasy sense that all of this is going to be directed at "us."
If openness, honesty, and accountability are directed as us, I would be fine with that!
Freaking gold mine today!
Thank you! Maybe I'm hitting too close to home, which is why Apple icould.com has starting banning people from getting the memes.
To get banned under Biden was an honor. But to get banned under Trump is legendary!
Those tech bros are fascists.
The ones at Apple are further left than usual. It's an extremely homo-pedo company.
Did one of the developers touch you how do you know?
I live in Silicon Valley and know a lot of them. Hell, the CEO is gay.
Gayness and homo-pedophilia are two sides of the same coin:
https://patrick.net/post/1343652/2022-02-13-the-gay-flag-is-also-the-symbol-of
So you assumed that it’s a pedo company cause the CEO is gay. Why do you guys always?

lol. Yeah, I don’t think near all of them were sodomized but OK. I need a lot of super gay bashers, but you don’t seem to be one.
Certainly more than half of gay men were sodomized as boy, and you can find research proving this.
Homo-pedophilia is how male homosexuality reproduces itself.
OK, around half I believe.
Never worked out a gay company, but I did have to work somewhere once were there was a lot of dildos around around lol

brilliant collection! thank you, patrick 🐸
Awesome collection. 💕
Great work, thanks.

In both cases they are run by demon worshippers.
Lol, didn't know that about the timing.
Yes, read the biography of Edgar Hoover.
First order slime.
This was epic, Epic, EPIC, E.P.I.C. !!! ❤️

Woot! Apple seems to have unblocked meme emails now.
No explanation for why they were blocked to begin with.
All these years we thought they were wasting money on taxpayer-funded studies putting shrimp on treadmills and giving pigeons cocaine.
But all along they were flat-out stealing the money and trolling us with ridiculous alibis.
I can’t believe I fell for it!
Don't feel too bad, 40% of America still believes what they hear on TV.
I have relatives who are angry about all the poor people who will now be deprived of humanitarian aid through USAID.
Point your relatives to this thread:
https://patrick.net/post/1383456/2025-02-02-usaid-website-down-try-to-deny-doge
Or maybe not, because they may never speak to you again if they read it.
Done!
Thanks!
We all could use a relative like you. 🙏🏼
Lol, I wish I had relatives like me!
Awesome!
Shared the link with 3 people.
Thank you! Sharing is caring.
Seriously, I need to reach a LOT more people, but don't know how.
#81...yep, that's me. The grins just keep on giving!
