B.S. . . . if that former KGB agent knew what he was talking about then Warsaw Pact would still exist today. Just malarkey these guys push so they get funded.

OK, so he's a real deal. I thought he just has a similar surname.That guy is Steve Forbes — the editor-in-chief of Forbes business magazine, as well as the author or co-author of a number of books on economics and politics. He has endorsed Sen. Marco Rubio, Sen. Rand Paul, and the late Sen. John McCain. Forbes has served on the board of several conservative organizations including FreedomWorks, the National Taxpayers' Union, and the Heritage Foundation.

His concerns about CBDCs are fully justified. They're one of the tools for authoritarian control.

Shouldn't this be illegal?...

"My impression is the Biden administration is taking very seriously that potential threat and is trying to do things now," Michael Linden, former executive associate director of the White House Office of Management and Budget under Biden, told the AP. Although he added there was no "magic bullet" to stop Trump if he took office again. "Nobody should be under any illusion that there’s anything that this president can do in advance to prevent the next president from doing things that are very damaging, potentially catastrophically."

Biden admin braces for possible Trump win, installs 'roadblocks' to stop him from reshaping government
President Biden's administration and liberal supporters in Washington are bracing for a possible Donald Trump victory in November by installing "roadblocks" to limit the latter's ability to fire thousands of government workers, according to a new report. The Associated Press reported that a cabal of left-leaning experts, legal advisers and others are confident Biden will be re-elected but are urging him to prepare for the worst: another Trump presidency beginning in 2025."My impression is the Biden administration is taking very seriously that potential threat and is trying to do things now," Michael Linden, former executive associate director of the White House Office of Management and Budget under Biden, told the AP. Although he added there was no "magic bullet" to stop Trump if he took office again.

A 10-second Biden brain freeze and a broken promise to retaliate for Navalny's death: Putin is laughing into his blood-soaked Borscht every day Sleepy Joe clings on, America's enemies grow more murderous
Oh boy, it was worse than expected. As President Biden limped out to address the nation - 37 minutes late and over five hours after news broke that Russian pro-democracy dissident Alexei Navalny had died in his squalid prison cell - my expectations were already low. He began his remarks Friday in typically anemic fashion - platitudes about Vladimir Putin and his 'thugs' being 'responsible' and how this is yet 'more evidence of his brutality'. Perhaps the Leader of the Free World hadn't wanted to upstage the Latvian president, who earlier beasted Putin, stating firmly that Navalny had been 'brutally murdered by the Kremlin'. The icing on the stale cake however was not what Biden said but what he didn't - or rather, what he apparently couldn't..

I think there should be a completely new set of democracy protection laws, that would actually introduce punishment for information censorship. Censorship is de facto an attack on democratic institutions and it is reasonable to punish censors with jail term.

He's just another version of many, many talking heads who will Speak The Truth as their salaries and employers see fit. I don't need anyone else's opinions to form my own, rather I take the unusual step of reading multiple disparate news sources and just sort of 'divining the chicken guts' to see what any actual news might be. I can usually tell within five minutes if its a slow news day and they are just rehashing the same crap.
This is just me being sick of this entire political shitstorm over the last two decades - I literally can't get away from it. I prefer to step waaaaay back and take the long view - a consequence of being a history buff. It's like watching a slow motion train wreck and it's almost impossible to look away. Besides, we all just get one vote (theoretically) and I can already tell you what will happen here in NY. I may as well tell my cat my preference, or just yell it out the window.
This is just 21st century Yellow Journalism
Milestones: 1866–1898 - Office of the Historian
U.S. Diplomacy and Yellow Journalism, 1895–1898
Yellow journalism was a style of newspaper reporting that emphasized sensationalism over facts. During its heyday in the late 19th century it was one many factors that helped push the United States and Spain into war in Cuba and the Philippines, leading to the acquisition of overseas territory by the United States.

Yeah, I'm history buff as well.
Whole English civil war thing was started but then new technology of a printing press. So the first papers amplified the hype around Catholics in France slaughtering members of French Protestant minority in most gruesome ways. And, then English king was married to a French princes, so no English Protestant trusted him. Step by step, benign journalistic hype rolled over into a carnage of a English civil war.

Aren't all reporters "just another version" ? Don't they all claim to be reporting "facts" ( as they see them ) ? What's the solution — to turn off all the news and have nothing to do with any of it? Some people do.

No, as I said I still read the news of necessity but generally speaking individual critical thinking is a rare thing anymore. Yellow journalism + ubiquitous broadband + social media has led to a certain amount of deliberate social programming. As I tell my wife, those idiots she watches (too much) on TV could all change places and say something totally opposite.

I can understand the sentiment, but at the same time, there are goings-on in the world that people should IMO care about, including the rise of global authoritarianism, and unless someone reports on such goings-on, those of us who choose not to bury our heads in the sand, are extremely limited in our awareness of them.
