That label is retroactively justified to avoid admitting wrong. They couldn’t write: “We censored your speech because it threatened political establishment narrative.” So: “Platform manipulation” Cause bureaucrats never confess, they rename it. It’s defense from being of account.
The “Tears in Rain” scene in Blade Runner (1982) was not fully scripted. Rutger Hauer felt the original speech was too long and “opera-like,” so he rewrote it before filming and added the immortal line: “like tears in rain.”
It is remembered as one of cinema’s most moving farewells to death, where a replicant reveals profound humanity. Thanks to Hauer’s improvisation, the moment became a defining symbol of Blade Runner and the cyberpunk genre, standing today as an immortal piece of film history.

Yesterday, I gained access to a private conference held in Athens, Greece for the purpose of promoting deeper ties between Israel, Greece and Cyprus.
The speakers included Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister, Israel's Ambassador to Greece, Greece's Minister of Tourism, Greece's Minister of Maritime Policy and Greece's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs.
In my latest report for Reason2Resist, I share highlights from the speeches of these senior government officials, and I argue that the Greek and Cypriot governments have made the reckless decision to go all in on Israel.
