Not so much retrospective, although I definitely agree with your observations. I mean, besides Pettibone, Southern and Sellner's plight, the thought police are in action right now. In the UK, certain divisions of the Police state categorically on Twitter: "we are watching you." They don't mean they're watching thieves, rapists, those planning massacres or child molesters, they mean they are watching ordinary people who dare write thoughts, which in their opinion are "offensive."
I say, certain divisions, not all, notable is the Met Police which have a division of police watching Twitter posts. Meanwhile figures show violent crime in London has risen dramatically. But I mean, really, FFS, their money masters in the Saud don't realize that the UK public aren't retarded, much as they underestimated the US public who voted for the only honest man around, Trump. Yet still the media smears itself with lie after lie. Dumb and dumber they still don't get it, even as the Soviets didn't get it. Facts and truth cannot be suppressed.
But yeah, SnapSlav agreed, it's swings and roundabouts as you incline and for the exposés of tomorrow I can't wait
