Submission + - SPAM: Steve Bannon banned by Twitter for calling for Fauci beheading

Hmmmmmm writes: Twitter has banned the account of the former Donald Trump adviser and surrogate Steve Bannon after he called for the beheading of Dr Anthony Fauci and the FBI director, Christopher Wray, and the posting of their heads outside the White House as a “warning”.

Speaking on his podcast, the War Room, which was distributed in video form on a number of social media outlets, the far-right provocateur appeared to endorse violence against Wray and the US’s most senior infectious diseases expert.

“Second term kicks off with firing Wray, firing Fauci no I actually want to go a step farther but the president is a kind-hearted man and a good man,” Bannon said.

“I’d actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England. I’d put their heads on pikes, right, I’d put them at the two corners of the White House as a warning to federal bureaucrats, you either get with the programme or you’re gone.”

Later on Friday, William Burck, an attorney for Bannon in a fraud case in New York City, told a federal judge he was withdrawing. Bannon is accused of misappropriating money from a group which raised $2m from thousands of donors to build a wall on the border with Mexico, and has pleaded not guilty. Burck did not give a reason for his withdrawal.

Less people died of Covid than the Flu, also, the tests for Covid are triggered by inactive fragments of other coronaviruses! This is about a digital id system and Agenda 21, not the puny seasonal flu virus aka Covid 19! Pay Microsoft or be a leper in society, social credit system INCOMING!

Submission + - All Dreamwidth links blocked on Facebook; silent deletion of existing links (dreamwidth.org)

JoshuaZ writes: Andrew Drucker has reported https://andrewducker.dreamwidth.org/3861716.html that Facebook has apparently blocked all links to Dreamwidth, a semi-popular blogging/journaling platform with tens of thousands of users. Facebook is not only preventing anyone from posting it, they've also silently deleted all statuses, posts, and replies which have included even a single Dreamwidth links. As of right now, the reason for this is unknown. This may be an overzealous spam filter at work.
