So Now They are Using the Federal Court to Attack Bloggers… Specifically… Me

by Scott Creighton

It’s apparently not enough to use Google and Facebook and Twitter and Youtube to attack people out here in blogland who dare ask questions and think for themselves. You know “fake news”

No, now they are going to start filing defamation lawsuits in federal court against certain writers and journalists in hopes that they can “refine ourselves as a country to avoid the worst.”

The “worst” meaning a repeat of 2016 when this individual’s candidate of choice lost to a candidate as weak as Donald Trump because folks like myself were writing about how corrupt and revolting she was.

I know this is their plan because I just got off the phone with a reporter from Reuters (yes, that Reuters) who interviewed me in connection with a federal lawsuit being filed against me (and others presumably). And yes, I asked her how she came to know about the lawsuit before it was even filed and she told me she was in contact with said individual and his lawyers and they gave her an early copy of the lawsuit.

I guess they wanted to waste no time getting the press behind them on this latest effort to attack free speech in America.

Everything in my article in question is supported by established fact with references, which said complainant doesn’t deny. My conclusions that I drew were clearly labeled as my opinion based on the evidence I presented. But still I wrote “could I be wrong? Yeah.” or something to that effect.

My little blog here has almost zero visibility and the video in question was erased by Youtube along with the rest of my channel.

This plaintiff argues that far-right racists and neo-Nazi websites have been harassing him and making death threats toward him as a result of work LIKE MINE on the internet since HE HIMSELF made himself a public figure a couple months ago. I certainly don’t condone such behavior, but I have NOTHING TO DO with neo-Nazi websites… except to call out the neo-Nazis we put in power in Ukraine maybe.

This guy wants to help do away with ‘conspiracy theory’ sites as he puts it… she calls them “fake news” and she asked me if I didn’t think it was a growing problem in this country. I told her “yeah. A million Iraqis died and so did 5,000 US soldiers as a consequence of ‘fake news’… Assad is constantly labeled a gasser of his own people and Gaddafi was said to “want” to bomb his own before he and 50,000 Libyans were killed because of fake news”

I don’t think she typed out that reply of mine.

Tomorrow this reporter is going to publish her article on Reuters website and we will see how she presents the interview and my responses. At one time as we were talking she said, well they don’t want to change the constitution (meaning the 1st amendment) and I replied to that “no. they just want to terrify people enough so they will censor themselves”

I doubt she reports that either.

When I find the article she writes I will respond to it at that time with more specifics. Funny how they got the complicit press ready to go before the lawsuit hits the judge’s desk ain’t it?
