Tuesday Bulletin
CITIZEN SENTINELS’ MESSAGE:
Social Media is in the news this week. Two major changes are taking place that give hope to Americans who value freedom of speech. Last Saturday, Donald Trump’s Truth Social went live, promising to be an open forum for all, regardless of a person’s political perspective. Then on Monday, the board of directors for Twitter announced that it had accepted Elon Musk’s
offer to purchase the company, which for years has banned Donald Trump and has selectively removed tweets that it has deemed hate speech, such as information on Hunter Biden’s laptop just two months before the 2020 election. Musk promises to revamp Twitter to make it a town square platform that assures freedom of speech to all of its users.
Watch out, however. Legislative “fixes” to social media are being considered.
In today’s article, Obama and Trudeau Claim Last Word on “Media Disinformation” For Themselves, Judy McLeod reminds us of the way in which social media, in the U.S. and Canada, has carried the left’s causes while blocking information from the right. Of particular interest is a discussion of related legislation being developed in Canada.
We all hope that the new change in landscape creates honest dialogue of present day issues in these new/renovated forums. It would be too bad, however, if one organically became a platform for the right and the other a platform for the left. Instead of an honest dialogue, we would see people only engaging with those who agree with them.
Be sure to share the newsletter with others today and generate some dialogue within your own circle. Have a great week!

Meanwhile, when it comes to “media disinformation” as identified by government, Obama and Trudeau lack credibility
Obama and Trudeau Claim Last Word on “Media Disinformation” For Themselves
By Judi McLeod ——Bio and Archives--April 25, 2022
On the subject of “media disinformation”, the hypocrisy of North America’s top two authoritarian ‘leaders’, former President Barack Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau,, is nothing less than stunning.
To date, nary a peep from either government in this era of a society overwhelmed by Fake News.
Obama, who sealed off all personal information from public view when he presented himself for the U.S. presidency with his promise to “fundamentally transform America”, is suddenly concerned about the flow of “disinformation” online?
Ditto for Trust Fund Baby Justin Trudeau, who blew $600-million of Canadian taxpayer dollars to buy off an already government-compliant news media in 2018.
Trudeau never had to worry about the few independent media he couldn’t buy off, as social media, led by Google, looked after them for him.
The factual trajectory above was basically how Trudeau rose himself up from Leader of the Canadian Liberal Party to the heavy heights of Prime Minister, where he would one day freeze the bank accounts of Freedom Convoy truckers and their supporters.
In his third election in September of 2021, Trudeau went into the race in minority status—and came out in minority status.
Last month, the New Democrat Party (NDP) threw in with him, awarding him instant majority status, denied him by electors.
The NDP hovers at 18% in voter popularity.
Incredibly, Barack Obama, now a private citizen, community activist and ex-president is calling the shots in President Joe Biden’s administration, viewed as his third term in Office.
Incredibly, Trudeau was still operating from minority status when he turned Canada over to the dictates of the Klaus Schwab-led World Economic Forum (WEF).
The bulk of mainstream and social media do not report on this tragic state of affairs.
The Canadian Liberal Government, which patently ignores the Fake News of the media of our day, is still playing with its promised online harms legislation after missing its self-imposed 100-day deadline in early February.
Canadian media hints the government’s online harms legislation is “months away”. But is it?
“Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez shared the news on Wednesday as he announced a newly formed panel of experts who will advise his office as it drafts the new bill. (Global News, March 30, 2022)
“We want to get this right — and you know what, together, we will get this right,” Rodriguez said.
“However, getting it right will take far longer than the government had initially promised.
Ahead of the 2021 fall election, the Liberals promised that — if re-elected — they would “introduce legislation within its first 100 days to combat serious forms of harmful online content, specifically hate speech, terrorist content, content that incites violence, child sexual abuse material and the non-consensual distribution of intimate images.”
“This would make sure that social media platforms and other online services are held accountable for the content that they host,” the Liberal platform said.
“That 100-day deadline came and went on Feb. 3 — just shy of two months ago — and now, the government says it will need to wait at least another two months to receive recommendations from its new advisory panel. Only then, Rodriguez said, will the department draft the bill.
“All the (advisory panel) meetings have to be held in the next two months, if I’m not mistaken,” he explained.
“Then we can take that information, work on the bill, and table it as soon as possible.”
“Rodriguez insisted the government has been working on this issue “for a long time” and is not starting from scratch — although that’s exactly what some experts, including a few who have been named to this new advisory panel, have asked it to do.
“That criticism came flooding in when, last June, the Liberals introduced Bill C-36. The bill was stopped in its tracks when Trudeau dissolved Parliament for last year’s federal election, but if it had passed, it would have given new recourse to people worried that another person would commit an offence motivated by “bias, prejudice or hate.”
“That “hate” can be based on a number of factors — including race, sex or gender identity — and the aggrieved party would be able to take the issue to a provincial court, provided the attorney general consents.
“The bill would have also amended the Canadian Human Rights Act to make it a “discriminatory practice” to communicate hate speech through the internet where it is “likely to foment detestation or vilification of an individual or group of individuals on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination.”
Isn’t that what both current American and Canadian governments are doing by branding their own citizens as “domestic terrorists” and “racists”?
“Shortly after introducing the bill, the government published a “discussion guide” and a “technical paper” on its proposals for a future online anti-harm regime. The documents included a wide-ranging plan detailing which entities would be subject to the new rules, what types of harmful content would be regulated, and the rules for those regulated entities and new regulatory bodies. (Global News)
“I found that proposal very problematic,” said Cara Zwibel, director of the fundamental freedoms project at the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, told Global News earlier this year.
“Zwibel said that if the eventual online harms legislation that will be introduced is based on this technical paper, it would be “really disappointing.”
“A lot of groups spent time to let the government know where they saw problems and if none of that is considered kind of relevant, it really, really raises a question of why you would ever have a consultation process at all,” she said. (Global News)
“She wasn’t alone in her concerns. In a report published in September 2021, Vivek Krishnamurthy — a University of Ottawa law professor who was just named to the advisory panel — said Bill C-36 was “fundamentally flawed.”
“As Parliament reconvenes after the recent election, we call upon the new government to reconsider Canada’s approach to online regulation,” he wrote.
“Canada needs to reconsider its approach to platform regulation from the ground up. We urge the Government of Canada to engage in significant study and consultation with experts and stakeholders in Canada and beyond.”
“That’s exactly what the government now plans to do. The expert advisory group on online safety includes a number of academics who are well-respected in the world of anti-hate and online harm research and advocacy.
“The list includes Amarnath Amarasingam, a widely cited Canadian extremism researcher at Queen’s University; Bernie Farber, the chair of the Canada Anti-Hate Network; and Emily Laidlaw, the Canada Research Chair in Cybersecurity Law at the University of Calgary.
The full advisory panel is as follows:
• Amarnath Amarasingam, assistant professor, School of Religion, Queen’s University
• Bernie Farber, chair, Canada Anti-Hate Network
• Chanae Parsons, community activist and youth engagement specialist
• David Morin, full professor, faculty of arts and humanities, Université de Sherbrooke
• Emily Laidlaw, associate professor, faculty of law, University of Calgary
• Ghayda Hassan, professor of clinical psychology, Université du Québec à Montréal
• Heidi Tworek, associate professor, School of Public Policy and Global Affairs and History, University of British Columbia
• Lianna McDonald, executive director, Canadian Centre for Child Protection
• Pierre Trudel, professor, faculty of law, Université de Montréal
• Signa A. Daum Shanks, associate professor, faculty of law, University of Ottawa
• Taylor Owen, Beaverbrook Chair, Media, Ethics and Communications
• Vivek Krishnamurthy, Samuelson-Glushko Professor of Law, University of Ottawa.”
How many in this “expert advisory group on online safety” are aware of the Fake News peddled on the masses daily by the mainstream and social media?
“While the government has left its self-imposed deadline in the dust, Rodriguez was optimistic on Wednesday that the new bill will fix the flaws of its predecessor — whenever it’s ready. When pressed on whether he’s open to starting from scratch, the Canadian heritage minister replied that the government is “open” to “all ideas.” (Global)
Wrong!
Make that “open” to “all ideas” other than any of those who happen to disagree with the government.
Meanwhile, when it comes to “media disinformation,” as identified by government, Obama and Trudeau lack credibility.

We continue to urge citizens to take ownership of the responsibility to keep the Republic!
Remember, an educated and enlightened citizenry is vital for our future. As it has been written:
“Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Proverbs 29:18 - KJV
The Citizens Voice provides information that the mainstream media hopes people don’t receive. Forward these newsletters to your friends and let them witness, first hand, that there is more than one side to a story. Then they will begin to understand the peril that our nation is in and be able to make informed decisions.
We are truly thankful for all of our readers who have chosen to assist our efforts in bringing the information and words of encouragement to all Americans we can possibly reach. We are truly grateful for the generous donations from our fellow Citizen Sentinels. It helps us keep going as a truly volunteer effort. Thank you so very much for whatever can be given.
"If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." ~ Samuel Adams, 1776
Ownership of our Republic is now the fight of our time! Keeping our Republic depends upon the genuine sense of ownership of the Land of the Free. Either this is our country, or it will belong to those who are actively seeking to take it from us. It is the same mentality that inspired someone long ago to express the sentiment that “All it takes for evil to triumph is that good people do nothing.” Efforts to take responsibility for keeping this nation a free Republic are organically occurring right now all across the nation.
