… Yes. Baudrillard makes several deep claims in this book concerning media, perception and general epistemology.

At this juncture it now seems like a psyop has been engaged using the insane murder of Charlie Kirk (RIP) . Are the public being divided further, in hatred, with triggers for chaos all being run via algorithms creating it all? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azE7nqqQMmo

… I believe you to be correct. You know what the DemReps always say … Never let a crisis (or in this case, a public Trauma) go to waste.

The whole Kirk ordeal smacks of an intelligence case. No way did the ‘alleged’ shooter in custody come up with the plot.
Intelligence agencies are in charge of the investigation of an intelligence operation?
The news feeds are totally controlled as was the operation. The question remains which intelligence agency is covering which intelligence agency…we will never know, like prior ‘operations’. Just the ‘facts’ ?, hardly, only those to justify the narrative.
The ‘alleged’ shooter’s text messages was not a confession. He only said he found a way to take out Charlie Kirk which has many possible scenarios. Maybe he agreed to play his role as the patsy…(perhaps he received funds to buy a $40,000 Dodge Challenger and help his roommate cover the costs of the sex change…maybe the roommate’s cooperation with the ‘investigation’ includes funds to that effect too!) the owner of the plane admitted in a local press release the aircraft was mistakenly connected to the Kirk affair. His narrative was the plane departed empty with two pilots to pick up seven passengers at Page, Arizona, a small town that relies on tourism visitors to Lake Powell which is noted for pontoon boats capped with cabins. The owners rent them out. It’s a plausible narrative as his NGO specializes in retreats for trauma healing associated with sexual abuse victims. The link seems to be their NGO receiving funding to sponsor a kosher retreat for Jewish victims associated with Salt Lake City’s Jewish community who is a member of one of the world’s largest Jewish network.
Minor airports don’t necessarily adhere to FAA regulations. The transponder episode being out of communication is not out of character in mountainous terrain.

Massie proposed an amendment to the defense bill last week to reverse the change in the propaganda bill in 2012 that allowed the use of propaganda on us. It was shot down by the ole scallywag from Louisiana.
No matter what attack is used to crush the free press there always has been censorship in all countries in the precarious name of national security. The Mocking Bird media infiltration is in full swing. The intelligence agencies monitor and have access to all media worldwide. Only ‘useful’ information is allowed the masses. If England uses the D-Form there, bet your sweet bippy every country has a similar plan. They all have intelligence agencies that share information or disinformation as needed and customary.

That doesn’t make sense, because we already have had the Vice President railing against such censorship, while in Europe. I don’t think they would flip flop so easily unless they were co-opted and this shooting is a sign of that.

I might be overthinking things, but I find what is being said publicly and what seems to be the direction of travel with Tech bros hard to reconcile.
Time will tell I guess.
All I know is that all speech is free speech, and as soon as they start labelling speech with adjectives like racist, hate, false, etc, they need to be stopped. Everything can be discussed. If you shoot someone for speech, it just makes you look bad.

Ideas have consequences…
Common sense, here in the UK we are rapidly moving to a more Chinese system. The Lucy Connolly case was a recent example. Jailed for tweeting after young children were murdered at a Taylor Swift kids party.
Her tweet was extremely unwise but the courts could have been more lenient. Instead they threw the book at her.
It’s a political decision in my opinion to condition the public to self-censor.
The domestic terrorism angle possibly a similar aim to cause self censorship online in US, shutting down wider discussion around Gaza and other issues that might unite (traditional) left and right.
