Independent, Unencumbered Analysis and Investigative Reporting, Captive to No Dogma or Faction.

This is a clip from our show SYSTEM UPDATE, now airing every weeknight at 7pm ET on Rumble.


Summary

  1. The speaker addresses a disturbing trend where certain pro-Israel groups target ordinary citizens for expressing criticism of Israel or displaying Palestinian flags.
  2. They shame and try to get these individuals fired, even though they have no power or influence.
  3. The speaker criticizes this behavior, citing an example of a woman who was filmed and harassed at her workplace for a Facebook post.
  4. Emphasizing that targeting powerless individuals is wrong, the speaker highlights the importance of not attacking the most vulnerable in society.
  5. The speaker discusses the issue of censorship and cancel culture, arguing that the problem lies in who gets targeted rather than the concept itself.
  6. They mention a tweet by Nate Hawkman about the nature of cancel culture and the importance of maintaining principles when gaining power.
  7. The speaker also highlights the actions of an account called "stop anti-Semitism," which targets ordinary citizens for their views on Israel and actively seeks to get them fired from their jobs.
  8. The video transcript discusses an anonymous social media account that targets ordinary people in the United States for expressing pro-Palestinian or anti-Israeli views.
  9. The account exposes individuals by posting their personal information, leading to harassment and threats.
  10. Examples include a woman with a Palestine sticker on her laptop at a cafe and a flight attendant wearing a small Palestinian flag pin.
  11. The account's actions have led to policy changes, such as Delta Airlines restricting flight attendants to wear only US flag pins.
  12. The account's actions are criticized for stifling free speech and expression of American citizens and unfairly targeting individuals based on their political views.
  13. The speaker advocates against targeting ordinary citizens for expressing offensive views and instead encourages confronting institutions of authority that have influence.
  14. They condemn the practice of harassing hourly wage workers and trying to get them fired, calling it bullying that accomplishes nothing.
  15. The message is to focus on confronting those in power rather than attacking individuals who may not have the same influence.

@ggreenwald

Does anyone remember Kamala's 2020 presidential campaign and why - despite massive advantages (swooning media coverage, a debate where she called Biden a racist, major California cash) - she had to drop out before the first vote because even the Dem base couldn't stand her?

@ggreenwald

CNN admits something unbelievably embarrassing:

Many in media failed to report more on Biden's cognitive issues because they feared "blowback...from the White House and Democrats," or, worse: "age stories angered the White House (and the liberal Twittersphere) the most.”

@ggreenwald

If you won't report major stories about the most powerful people in the country, all because you're afraid of provoking anger from the WH, Democrats, or "the liberal Twittersphere," you are many things.

"Journalist" is not one of them. It's so pathetic:

@ggreenwald

That said, I 100% believe that a desperate desire to avoid angering the WH, Democrats, and "the liberal Twittersphere" is absolutely the main motivation for most people who work in corporate media.

Why don't they just go work for the WH or the Democratic Party?

How do you know American politics is dominated by a uniparty that seeks to oppress you? Because both sides oppose free speech. Glenn Greenwald explains. Greenwald is a Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist, author, former constitutional lawyer, and host of the nightly live Rumble show "System Update.”
