Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
The government has been doing this since like, World War 1, at least.
It got insane during the Cold War.
Now, it’s presumably much worse.
The federal government spent $8.5 million of your money on producing dozens of podcasts over the past four years — with several promoting progressive priorities, according to a report on the spending exclusively obtained by The Post.
The taxpayer watchdog OpenTheBooks.com found at least 58 podcasts have been produced at a total cost of $8,535,556 through grants and other federal funding between February 2020 and September 2023.
A whopping $323.7 million was spent over the same period on the overarching projects that included the podcasts, the watchdog noted — with both foreign and domestic entities receiving the money.
…
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) were the primary funders of the audio content, covering topics related to history, art, literature, science, languages, and religion, among others.
A $370,000 podcast on Southern history funded by NEH and NEA features an episode titled, “Bedfellows Forever: How 19th-century male romantic friendships queer our understanding of historical masculinity.”
The NEH also shelled out $227,420 for a linguistics program that aired an episode about “a relatively new, gender-neutral pronoun which challenged Swedish grammar norms.”
Another $228,546 NEH-funded program about the recent history of Queens during the COVID-19 pandemic includes talks “about the Black Lives Matter movement, taking part in protests” and “continued self-education on racism.”
The National Science Foundation funded a third podcast for a cool $556,544 with pandemic-related content for children that included “superheroes prepared to help us defeat the coronavirus: Sgt. Socially Distanced, the Masked Mentor, the Testmaster and the Vaxinator!”
A $5,000 podcast funded exclusively by the State Department “addresses issues and stories affecting trans and intersex lives in Zimbabwe.” It currently has a glowing, five-star rating from one reviewer on Apple Podcasts.
Fullbright Forward, to which the State Department gave $20,000 in funding, discusses the scholarship program but also features a discussion on “Exploring Identity, Language Teaching, and the Impact of Whiteness.”
The Department of Agriculture is spending $446,353 to podcast about “beginning agrarians,” including those interested in “building a queer farmer community.” The show also has five-star ratings from four reviewers on Spotify.
More than $171,000 is being spent to train journalists, artists and others how to produce their own podcasts in Brazil, Bulgaria and Yemen, while another $89,000 is going toward the same training in Rhode Island, Alaska and Texas.
Honestly, I don’t even care that the government is doing this. I don’t think they should be lying about it, and there are questions as how public funds can be used to push an explicitly partisan agenda. There are other problems.
But the thing for me is that they do not allow competition. They silence everyone who disagrees with them. In a 1-on-1 battle, I’m going to beat the government in the propaganda war every single time, I guarantee you.
But of course, the US is not fundamentally different from North Korea in the way the state functions as an absolutist entity. They don’t allow dissent. They will crush you. Trust me, buddy, I can’t have a personal checking account for the rest of my life because I made jokes on the internet. I have several other problems resulting from these jokes. It would be much more honest to just throw me in a gulag because I dared question the system.
The real difference between the US and North Korea is that the North Korean absolutist system actually supports the people, and wants what’s best for the country, while the US absolutist system is run by Jews who are basically trying to kill everyone.
