Can new administration shutdown miscarriage of justice, forced penury?

While media and officials literally cry about the new administration focusing on dismantling the “administrative state,” that very apparatus continues to bludgeon and bury voices representing the American majority that voted in support of Trump’s agenda. It’s being accomplished via miscarriage of justice brought about by false testimony and denying evidence be introduced in so-called defamation trials.

We watched the FBI move in to strip Alex Jones of his earned assets (an excessive award of $1.5 Billion), handing over the profits from their sale to individuals, after courts unconstitutionally denied him a defense in a contorted defamation suit. It is worth pondering how devastated parents of murdered children were transformed into victims of defamation when their personal reputations didn’t appear to suffer damage from Jones’ speculative comments about the Sandy Hook school shooting in 2012.

Highly offensive as the opinion expressed may have been to the bereft parents (and it was), or the public at large, how, in fact, these individuals were slandered was tenuous at best. It’s a hard case to make that claiming Jones’ comments promulgated harassment, thus constituting public derogation. Had it been provable beyond a doubt, then Jones wouldn’t have been refused presentation of a defense, any defense, in the civil proceeding.

This is just one of the ideologically and politically generated court cases against outspoken individuals who have built a large constituency of listeners interested in hearing multiple viewpoints, including those considered outlandish, i.e. “dangerous,” by entrenched media and government powerbrokers. Where special interest money is strategically infused into fractious situations to bolster establishment control, suffering or angry individuals can be targeted for manipulation – and they are.

Independent commentators and factfinders

Independent commentators and factfinders are now being forced to work around the barriers and landmines set-up by the Biden-Harris administration to crush expression of maverick opinions. The ascendance of a new Trump administration will curtail furtherance of these policies, but the damage that has already been incurred against vocal individuals, stealing their hard-wrought wealth to compensate emotionally tormented parents, or enrich undeserving gold diggers (as in E. Jean Carroll’s harassment of President Trump, $83.3 Million) and political pawns (as in Rudy Giuliani’s accusers, $148 Million).

Being reported is the Kari Lake camp's decision to settle with former Maricopa County Recorder Mark Richer regarding his claims of defamation. This may be the result of witnessing how the judiciary that has shown itself to be compromised in the mounting civil cases brought against individuals, whose claims stood upon opinion, or valid evidence of election mismanagement and fraud.

As hard as these judicial, ideological, media, and government insiders have come against Jones, Giuliani, Trump, and others like General Michael Flynn, they have been pressed to find new ways to impart their message, with documentation, despite unending attacks. Turning to free market developers, podcasting and blogging has breached the internet monopoly of Google, YouTube, Meta, etc., but not without cost and limitations in scope.

Marxist, “woke,” drones still comprise the day-to-day staff within the tech fortress

Even with the advent of Rumble, GETTR, and Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, now dubbed “X,” internet giants’ hold on censorship has not been fully broken. Marxist, “woke,” drones still comprise the day-to-day staff within the tech fortress that controls search engines and algorithms. The gatekeepers aren’t giving up their posts, which means more workarounds must be implemented.

Journalism, in particular, has been transformed from an intended bastion of truthful investigators, shining light on backroom machinations, into minions of moneychangers and multi-industry lobbyists driving government policy... not law, policy.

Exemplifying how politics control and attempt to propel narratives to keep power, Acts 4:18-20 epitomizes of what actual reporting consists, and provides grounding for journalism (which term, by the way, comes from the Church, not secular society).

Acts 4:18 So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. 20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.”

This is what journalism calls “primary source.” It is first-hand testimony by an eyewitness or physical evidence of an incident, document, or participation in an event. No longer, however, does reporting by present-day press rely on provable facts.

“Journalism in the New Millennium” coursework centers on how to disseminate information rather than gathering and reporting verified information

It is colored by politically and ideologically influenced opinion. Most college journalism programs encourage future reporters to engage in expressing opinion rather than uncovering and reporting straight facts for public consumption. With classes offered under titles like “Journalism in the New Millennium” coursework centers on how to disseminate information rather than gathering and reporting verified information.

Because current press corps are taught to accept, promote, and perpetrate professorial perspectives that inundate journalism (now reposited under “communications”) courses rather than learning techniques on collecting true facts, an alternative is now necessary to build the next generation of reporters. Developing renegade blog, podcast, and broadcast sites is not enough to circumvent the heavy-handed overseers of the internet.

A wholly distinct curriculum is required to train reporters in objective writing style, editing, journalism history, investigative techniques, world history and geography for cultural background, First Amendment application, etc. The other side of training journalists is teaching the business of publishing, balancing news and advertising, how to build a publication, including sales and circulation, and, most importantly, what avenues are open to report true facts without internet ogres censoring news via deplatforming or demonetizing sites.

It’s time for journalism to be primed to redirect toward hard copy and know how to make it work

It’s time for journalism to be primed to redirect toward hard copy and know how to make it work. The current atmosphere of restrictive news distribution is laying the foundation of the return of the pamphleteers in some cases. Journalists must be prepared for that turn of events because the internet is not reliable in its present form, being under the thumb of oppressors despite the best efforts of Musk and others. Any internet search for material that doesn’t align with Big Tech’s prerequisites is found to be wanting. Information deemed inconvenient is buried, scrubbed or simply unavailable, limiting online access to documented facts. To counter the trend, look for mothballed presses to be fired up, which will require training a cadre of pressmen.

These are the courses that Scribes’ College of Journalism is prepared to offer in order to train the next generation of a truly free press. The template is set to teach journalism as the skilled trade it was meant to be, not a “profession” of beliefs and ideologies to benefit a ruling elite instead of informing the public, which is the sovereign class.

Technology workarounds are in development, as well as instituting tried and true methods of news dissemination. If returning to paper ballots is demonstrably the most secure method of conducting fair elections, consider that returning to print newspapers may also be necessary to block censorship.

There are times that hard copy in both ballot counting and news dissemination is more advantageous than the web (well-named in its ability to trap and destroy victims) to keep this nation free.
