Read it whilst it is up. It won't be for long.

On WordPress.com I have interviewed the man who started the R.C.M.P’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Teams. I produced a video describing him as an over reaching secret policeman.

After myself and my colleagues were repeatedly arrested and assaulted during the Montréal Police’s violent repression against their citizens, I organized a campaign involving Canadian Journalists for Free Expression and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association that resulted in Commanders of the Montréal police to be forced to a sit-down and agree under mediation by these national organizations to desist in their violence toward journalists.

have uncovered evidence of the Canadian Armed Forces and other Federal agencies practicing the violent targeting of Canadian environmental groups. I have looked into possible atrocities committed by Kurd troops trained by Canadian Special Forces. I have documented the Israeli arms industry testing drones in Québec. None of these powerful players censored me.

Then goes on to describe the taking down of blogs on Wordpress, and twitter etc etc...

Doing all this under the banner of inclusion and tolerance while practicing exactly the opposite has to be admired for its dark brilliance. Silencing people who differ with your opinion under the banner of “inclusion and tolerance”, labeling dissent as hate speech, while allowing the the most vile racism, the most outrageous calls to violence under the banner of “context” is wickedly effective. Jack is a very clever boy.

We have completely turned the public sphere over to multinational corporations like Facebook, Twitter and WordPress

goddess bless Women's Place. Their strategy of real life meetings looks like a bit of a stroke of genius

What facts will we be required to ignore. What reality will we be required to substitute for objective truth

yes. and even more than the assault on women's rights, the assault on children's safety this is my fundamental objection to the trans juggernaut.

It wants to curtail freedom of thought.

And that's why everyone should be objecting

OrchidInTheSun · 03/12/2018 08:56

It's a really good article. And a reminder of why we need to keep print journalism alive.

Ereshkigal · 03/12/2018 08:59

YY. Have pdfed. I agree it will be taken down.

Ereshkigal · 03/12/2018 09:03

This should concern people. It really should. Agree our grassroots feminist resurgence is the only way to fight.

That is a powerful piece of writing. I’ve gone back to print media for my news precisely because I feel I can no longer trust what is online. Even with print, I’m having to read a wide range to get a measure of what’s happening.

TimeLady · 03/12/2018 09:34

Great article. Truly scary scenario.

RetiredNotExpired · 03/12/2018 09:40

It's a great piece. I've also saved it as a pdf.

While no one should give much of a fuck about my media issues. You should all be incredibly terrified about what this means for the fabric of the society you live in. This is a fundamental shift in social control, of the ability to speak our own truth about the world before us. We are entering a world where we can no longer trust the past, as it is updated constantly to fit with ideology. This is being done directly by corporations. Corporations are bound by law to externalize all other factors and make as much money as possible. Corporations have their own class interests. Spoiler alert, they don’t match with yours or mine in any significant way.

Just linked to that article on another thread! Brillliant, trenchant piece. I've been uneasy for some time that we've handed over so much information and control of communications to unaccountable multinationals. It would take the UN to devise and impose supranational controls on social media, I suspect, and I doubt the political will is there.

Well done for pdfing it, Ereshkigal. I don't think his WordPress blog is going to survive this either. I saw on Twitter earlier that he's banned there for six days. Permanent ban not long to follow, I surmise.

LangCleg · 03/12/2018 10:10

Brilliant article.

This along with other related Identity Politic issues have completely atomized the Left. And now the Trans movement is looking to destroy the Women's movement. Historically the strongest social movements of the 20th century had their roots wholly and partly in the Women’s movement. Civil Rights, Anti Nuclear, the Environmental movement, all either came out of or were nurtured by the Women’s movement. Now Women’s groups cant even meet openly in some jurisdictions because of the massive social and political power of this so called marginalized group. You are being played.

Correctly locating this as a neoliberal, regressive, right wing operation.

ResistTheWokeStasi · 03/12/2018 15:49

Great article, thanks for posting.

scepticalwoman · 03/12/2018 16:04

Very powerful. Thank you OP. Have also screen capped this.

Bowlofbabelfish · 03/12/2018 16:11

Very good article. I have said previously that this is partly an experiment in social control.

Spottycake · 03/12/2018 17:06

The magical roundabout of repression. Been waiting for this. Who else has seen their local authorities spend millions on doing up police stations, for the doors to suddenly close to the public?

Mumfun · 03/12/2018 17:09

Wake up call. Very scary.

sackrifice · 03/12/2018 17:15

Very powerful. Thank you OP. Have also screen capped this.

It is great...a shame because Julie Bindel has been saying this for years...a pity nobody listens to women!

Yes Sackrifice

She has paid a huge cost for her honesty and integrity. It was great to hear her speaking so clearly on Woman's Hour today.

LambChopsMcGee · 03/12/2018 17:44

This article just makes me think more and more: we need to meet up, we need to keep doing it.
I've not made it to any WPUK meetings yet, but I'm anxious to make some IRL connections in case we all get booted off Twitter and Mumsnet or what have you.

Or we need a pre planned thing... Like we all go to Trafalgar Square if something happens.

Or Piccadilly Gardens... If you're trans northern.

Hohocabbage · 03/12/2018 17:59

Wow

sackrifice · 04/12/2018 23:27

Lasted longer than I thought...now gone of course.

Ta dah!

PleasingFungusBeetle · 04/12/2018 23:42

WTF? Why has this piece been taken down? I'm getting scared now

Ereshkigal · 04/12/2018 23:43

We all should be.

iLevictoiChete · 05/12/2018 00:03

Well done those of you who pdf'd it. The archive link currently works - will that get purged too?
