If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. Sir Lindsay Hoyle, speaker of the lower chamber of the British Parliament, has shared his thoughts about the dangers of “misinformation” during an interview with BBC Radio, at the same time coming up with some fairly unusual proposals on how to counter that – even by the standards of today’s political climate of a “misinformation witch-hunt.” Opponents will easily ridicule – but also warn about – his proposals as yet another attempt to set up a real-world Ministry of Truth, but this one comes with a twist: Hoyle wants his country to enact more “anti-misinformation” laws, but the sort that would be valid outside the UK. https://video.reclaimthenet.org/articles/uk-speaker-house-misinformation-09834.mp4 So, a Global Ministries of Truth, if you will; and while (actual) misinformation can indeed prove to be dangerous, as the speaker of the Commons underlines – so surely are out of-whack proposals coming from prominent politicians. Hoyle laments that the degree of taking responsibility for what he says is misinformation and fake news has gone down lately. Referring clearly to the era before Musk takeover (he at one point comments to say, “We have a better relationship with some (other sites)”) – Twitter was a platform that Hoyle said “we” (apparently referring to himself and his team) could just contact to get content deleted. “Look, these things are up there. Can you take them down? Threats against MPs, you know, threatening to whatever,” Hoyle recounts his past communications with Twitter. And back in the “good old days” only 8% of those “threatening to whatever” posts would remain up, the rest would get taken down – while now, the speaker complained, the reverse is true. And now, for the solution: unless social media platforms go back to what, in the (roundabout) way he explains it, comes down to heavy censoring at the authorities’ request – then those authorities should enact new laws. The UK authorities, that is, with a parliamentary bill. But, Hoyle reveals, “And I believe it should be across. It doesn’t matter what country you’re in.” People – and governments – in those other countries might beg to differ, but in the meantime, Hoyle is engrossed in his own “war on misinformation” that includes advocating for monitoring what users are saying about members of the British parliament on social media. Ministry of Truth, Police State – it’s hard to tell what the key push Sir Lindsay is trying to make here might be. But it doesn’t sound like anything that should be coming out of a “true democracy.” If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net.

Former first lady Melania Trump wants to know why law enforcement did not arrest would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks before he opened fire on former President Donald J. Trump at the July 13 campaign rally in Butler Township, Pennsylvania. “The attempt to end my husband’s life was a horrible, distressing experience,” the former first lady said in a video posted Sept. 10 on X. “Now, the silence around it feels heavy." “I cannot help but wonder, why didn’t law enforcement officials arrest the shooter before the speech?” Mrs. Trump continued. “There is definitely more to this story, and we need to uncover the truth.” In the nearly two months since the Butler shooting, the assassination attempt has slipped from the headlines as nearly a dozen federal and state investigations churn away with sporadic public updates. The U.S. House-appointed Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump is gathering records from local and state authorities. The task force recently asked the Butler County coroner and the Allegheny County medical examiner for a copy of the autopsy done on Crooks, who was killed by a Secret Service sniper after he fired eight shots into the crowd. The task force has also asked for transcribed interviews with local law enforcement and for a slew of documents from the Secret Service, Department of Homeland Security, and local officials on the security planning for the July 13 event. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs investigators have been conducting transcribed interviews with officials involved in the Butler rally. The FBI’s updated timeline says that Crooks, 20, accessed the roof of the American Glass Research complex at 6:05 p.m., then made his way south across several buildings in the complex before selecting a shooting perch. He opened fire at 6:11:32 p.m. A Pennsylvania state trooper posted under a nearby water tower spotted Crooks at 6:08 p.m. and put out a radio dispatch warning, “There’s someone on the roof.” The Secret Service never heard that broadcast because it had no shared communications system with state and local police. Specially programmed radios set up for the Secret Service were not only never used but never even picked up by Secret Service officials, according to local law enforcement sources and U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.). Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!
