During the cold war Radio Moscow. Radio Peking and Radio Havana beamed their propaganda
into our country via shortwave radio without jamming. Currently the Powers That Be have banned outlets such as Russia Today from telling their own stories in our country.

Then all that data is bundled and sold to others to sell in the open market. One purchase where the credit info is protected but the items are not.

Re your second question, in multiple congressional hearings where tech CEO’s were brought in many Dems were very explicit demanding more censorship and moderation. Re your third question, they terminated my monthly articles because of harsh criticisms I had often made about Crain’s itself and some of their writers. I hold no grudge against them; it’s there prerogative. While I think they and others should have thicker skins, I was not surprised.

A statewide concern: Illinois’ population decline outpaces neighboring states – Wirepoints on ABC20 Champaign

“We are not in good shape” Wirepoints’ Ted Dabrowski told ABC 20 Champaign during a segment on Illinois’ latest population losses. Illinois was one of just three states to shrink in the 2010-2020 period and has lost another 300,000 people since then. Ted says things need to change. “It’s too expensive to live here, there aren’t enough good jobs and nobody trusts the government anymore. There’s just other places to go where you can be more satisfied.”
