I am not very active on the "internet of things" these days as I have taken up a huge load of DIY projects that I have been keeping on hold for ages and am also looking at the pile of books I am determined to read before year's end. However, I have not totally discontinued visiting the usual alternative media sites from which I gleam the kind of news and views not provided by the MSM. As for Twitter, I signed out after the lockout and feel proud of the fact that I haven't gone to that platform the last 2 weeks. We can all get over any addiction if we really want to. YAY !!
Below some news and opinions from the alternative media I found interesting:

“If you would know who controls you,” Tacitus, the Roman historian
and politician once advised, “see who you may not criticize.” For a long
time that unspeakable persona was none other than the billionaire
financier George Soros, and despite the fact that his political protégés
have gone on to radically alter the political landscape of the country.
Now, as cracks are beginning to appear in the foundation of his vast
franchise, dissenting voices are becoming more commonplace.
Last week, for example, in a move torn from the playbook of the
Democratic Party, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis sent state police to
physically remove Soros-supported State Attorney Andrew Warren from his
office, “with access only to retrieve his personal belongings, and to
ensure that no files, papers, documents, notes, records, computers, or
removable storage media are removed from the Office of the State
Attorney…”
The Florida Governor explained his strong-armed tactics as a way of
punishing Warren for “neglecting his duties as he pledges not to uphold
the laws of the state.” DeSantis was speaking in reference to Warren’s
stated refusal to uphold a state abortion ban in the wake of the Supreme
Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, as well as laws forbidding child sex-change surgeries.

"...The analysis, which is a conservative estimate based upon recent
audit rates and tax filing data, shows that individuals with an annual
income of $75,000 or less would be subject to 710,863 additional IRS
audits, while those making more than $1 million would receive 52,295
more audits under the bill.
Overall, the IRS would conduct more than 1.2 million more annual audits
of Americans’ tax returns, according to the analysis. Another 236,685 of
the estimated additional audits would target individuals with an annual
income between $75,000 and $200,000.

targeted by agents hired due to....

Sanofi, GSK and several generic drugmakers have been accused in several lawsuits for failing to adequately warn users that the over-the-counter drug had health risks.
On
Thursday, Deutsche Bank analyst Emmanuel Papadakis warned that an
upcoming Illinois case on August 22, and some key court trials in early
2023, will likely negatively affect shares in both GSK and Sanofi.
Zantac
was yanked from store shelves in 2019 after the US FDA said that when
the drug is exposed to heat for as little as five days, it appears to
produce unacceptably high levels of a chemical that can cause cancer.

The evil ones are full speed ahead going after our children. The Drag Queens depravity, IMO, started with that TV Rupaul drag show (without even researching who funded that show, I am willing to bet they are the very same high and mighty ones of Hollywood). The sex education for toddlers as young as 3 yrs old is happening more in the US, UK and
Canada. Maybe it's happening in NZ and Australia too and that would
mean the 5eyes nations are truly hurling themselves into an abyss of no
return. This degeneration of family values is definitely not happening
in Asia, Russia and the Middle East.

Ron Paul: "..Pelosi’s trip was no outlier. Such counterproductive
posturing is much celebrated by both parties in Washington.
Neoconservative Senators Bob Menendez and Lindsey Graham were thrilled
with Pelosi’s stop in Taipei and used it as a springboard to push for
new legislation that would essentially declare war on by declaring
a “major non-NATO ally.”
The “one China” policy that, while perhaps not perfect, has kept the
peace for more than 40 years is to be scrapped and replaced with one
sure to provoke a war. Who benefits?
Foolishly taking the US to the brink of war with over Ukraine is evidently not enough..

"...Sometime in the future a learned academic will be writing a weighty
tome with the title The Decline and Fall of the Western Empire. Perhaps
the Contents Page will include, among others, twelve chapters with
titles something like this: World War One. World War Two. Korea.
Vietnam. Palestine. Iran. Nicaragua. Afghanistan. Iraq. Syria. Ukraine.
Taiwan.
Indeed, Karin Kneissel, the former Austrian Foreign Minister, is at
present writing a book with the working title A Requiem for Europe. In
an interview with Asia Times on 31 July she declared that ‘European

places are being taken by .......

James Corbett Interview – The Budding Biosecurity State & Its Technocratic Culmination
Joining me today is James Corbett, here to discuss the growing
biosecurity state, how we got here, and what this inevitably leads to.
As we review current events and discuss the varying perspectives
surrounding this unprecedented time, we also highlight the many ways in
which people are fighting back.

Sooo, you thought sending your kids to Catholic schools would keep them safe from the LGBTABCetc community, did you???
I won't be surprised if the Pope himself comes out of the closet and declares with PRIDE " I am gay". Prepare for it.
