In 2019, when asked whether people should wear masks and socially distance to avoid infection, Fauci laughed and called this “paranoia”.

He then gave advice that could have come straight from Joe Rogan.

The science did not change.

Why did Dr. Fauci?

Victory!

At long last and as I hoped, the US Fifth Circuit has ruled that the White House, CDC, and other authorities have been practicing censorship and coercion. The WaPo calls this, in a particularly disingenuous way but significantly enough, a "likely victory for conservatives."

No, dear WaPo: this is a net victory for democracy and really, shame on you if you think censorship and coercion should be upheld just because you think it's liberal to do so. As too many politicians, the media, human rights organizations, and intellectuals had seemingly nothing to say to this authoritarian way to exercise governance, the judicial branch was really the last actor that could save democracy - just like the judiciary saved US democracy after the McCarthy authoritarian episode.

We still have quite a lot of soul searching to do to understand how liberals could suddenly turn so authoritarian and be ready to sacrifice almost any human right only to win the argument. That they should feel compelled to silence the opposition and mandate behavior just to come out on top should be hint enough that there is something very wrong in this would-be liberal way of thinking.

Congrats @DrJBhattacharya and now, fingers crossed for @AlexBerenson, so that this nightmare is really behind us.

@TheHatMadder @joemuggs @mtaibbi The irony is incredible. “Anti facist” while celebrating censorship. What a time to be alive.

@UnusualReadings @mtaibbi @walterkirn Lol... These daily “what happened to you” posts trying to dunk on @mtaibbi only to be schooled in return are getting really entertaining!

@Jill992004231 @mtaibbi I know.

As someone involved in developing the Web since the early 90's, I never imagined my government doing this.

The Internet is too dangerous to be wielded by authorities as a means of population control.

Needs to be a strict firewall between government & speech/press.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

The NYT was confronted with newly released messages from scientists coordinating about how to mislead its own reporter. A moment of truth for the paper.

The old NYT would defend its integrity by putting a new team of reporters on the story with a mission to follow the facts wherever they led.

This new paper appears not to have any editors who care about its dignity anymore.

They’re more worried about offending subscribers who they themselves have misled to believe that a lab leak is a right wing conspiracy theory.

[Alex Berenson @AlexBerenson]

Yes, this paragraph appeared in @nytimes. Which appears to have completely, totally lost its way and forgotten the business it is in.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

Another example is media coverage of the COVID origins probe. Headlines imply that people like Andersen are being bullied by mean Republicans when they engaged in flagrantly unethical conduct that's been made very obvious by FOIAed and leaked documents.

Remember how MSM denounced Jom Stewart for suggesting the Wuhan Institute of Virology may have been connected to Covid-19? Documents now show the scientists who authored the definitive “proximal origin�� paper had the same thoughts: https://t.co/hsivxcKbWU

I love it how the whole of Russian Z-snakepit is now twisting hands in its dramatic rant:

"The Motherland is in danger, the Russian blood is being spilled, and a civil war is underway now"
"There's now fratricide, a stab in the back upon the regular military that is heroically holding on to the front line amid overwhelming assaults"
"In the gruesome hour of hardship and trouble, men of honor need to show their integrity and save our common Mother Russia, which is waging a sacred defensive war with the most evil enemy."
"No matter what happens now in Moscow, dear brothers, keep killing those hohols with anything you have in your hands. There's nothing more important than Russia."

You bunch of sorry-ass morons, with your delusional dictator obsessed with his wretched ego and idiotic pseudo-historic conspiracy theories, unleashed the biggest war of aggression in Europe since Adolf Hitler.

Because you thought you are here to rule the world, you were entitled to anything you want, and there was no one to say no and fight back.

You were sure you were going to have breakfast in Kyiv and then dine in Lviv, just like that.

As a result, some 16 months ago, you sustained a stunning, humiliating defeat in what was one of the lamest, most incompetent, and overconfident attempts to run a blitzkrieg operation against a large European nation.

You continued in the most absurd way possible, simply sweeping cities off the face of the earth only for the sake of declaring them "liberated" and claiming yet another "major victory over Nazis and NATO" in capturing yet another hog farm lost somewhere in Luhansk Oblast.

For many months, you were fighting your senseless 10-day "special military operation" the way not a single military power or a nation can afford with such gains.

Just for the sake of never admitting defeat, you did and normalized the most unimaginable things for the 21st century.

Atrocities and mass graves, masses of suicidal prisoners sent to die in meat grinder assaults, castration, beheading, mutilation, the leveling of major cities full of the civilian population, nuclear threats, bombing campaigns to strip a European nation of heating and electricity in the middle of winter, the worst man-made ecological disaster since Chornobyl, the unprecedented occupation and militarization of the biggest European nuclear power plant.

You sustained the most unbelievable failures that completely revealed what was underneath all those years of propagandistic bravado and eye-washing.

You turned the whole of Donbas into a depopulated desert of ruins and fields of dead bodies scattered as far as the eye can see. You senselessly slaughtered countless thousands of forcibly mobilized males of Donbas who were naive and foolish enough to trust and welcome you in 2014.

For your idiotic war that has no goal and no plan other than letting Putin sit on the throne for just another day, you raised a monster -- a giant mercenary army, the meat-grinding machine that is now strong and bold enough to turn its jaws against you.

Now you poor pieces of Nazi scum, enjoy drowning in the pile of shit of your own making.

You are done.

Ukraine was your end.

You had it coming.

And history will remember this as the most insanely idiotic war ever.
