Putin Compares ‘Woke’ Western Gender Ideology to a Virus

By all accounts, the new Matrix movie ‘Resurrections’ seems like one to steer clear of. With poor initial reviews, and now the revelations that woke writers have become bothered by ‘right wingers’ using the phrase ‘red pilled’ and have attempted to reclaim it by injecting their own political ideologies into the new script.
<a href="https://www.rt.com/pop-culture/543970-matrix-writers-political-messages/">RT reports</a> that in a recent interview,  writers Aleksandar Hemon and David Mitchell admitted that they attempted to ‘weave’ their personal political views into the film.
“We were aware because you bring it into [the movie’s writing collective] The Pit, all that’s happening in the world, so we talked about specific things,” Hemon noted.
He added “Things like the Red Pill/Blue Pill trope or meme and how it was kidnapped by the right wing, the verb ‘to red-pill’ and so on. So one thing we were mindful of is how to reclaim that trope. To renew the meaning of Red Pill/Blue Pill.”
The red pill is taken by Neo in the first Matrix movie, which allows him to see what is really going on, and that he is trapped in an AI prison. The blue pill, which the character rejects, allows one to remain blissfully unaware that anything is amiss.
According to reports, Agent Smith, the Matrix generated AI villain in the movie, uses right wing terminology throughout the new film, with lines such as “facts don’t care about your feelings.”
The writers also admit that for them it felt “empowering to write a rebuttal to the weaponization” of the red pill terminology.
“I don’t see myself as a frontline fighter in the culture war, but you also want your work to mean something, to have an ethical edge. One of the many reasons I’m proud of Resurrections is it does have that,” said Mitchell, adding “What I’m trying to say is, I think the film has integrity, and perhaps that’s the source of the integrity.”
Hermon added “I concur. There is a bit of a difference between my and Mr. Mitchell’s situation in that, well, he’s a kinder person so he doesn’t get angry as much.”
He continued that because he lives in the U.S. he has become “infused with a need to confront some of the things that are taking place in this country,” adding “But we did not set out to get into arguments with right-wingers.”
The pair also stated that they have no desire to interact with “nazis and fascists,” agreeing that to do so would be akin to “having debates with creationists,” and “By inviting them to the podium, it’s a tacit endorsement that the idea is up for debate.”

Russia Fines Google, Meta Record $125 Million Over Banned Content

Moscow:
A Moscow court on Friday slapped Google with an unprecedented fine of nearly $100 million, while Meta (formerly Facebook) received a fine of $27 million.
In recent years Russia has been piling pressure on Western social media giants, with President Vladimir Putin saying those companies were becoming as influential as elected governments.
Moscow has repeatedly taken legal action against them for allegedly not moderating their content properly and interfering in the country's affairs.
But so far fines on Facebook parent company Meta and Google have stretched into the tens of millions of rubles, not billions. 
However on Friday a Moscow court fined Google a record 7.2 billion rubles ($98 million), while Meta (formerly Facebook) received a fine of 1.9 billion rubles ($27 million) for repeatedly failing to delete illegal content.
"For the first time, a Russian court has imposed fines that make up a share of the annual revenue of these companies in Russia," Russia's state communications regulator Roskomnadzor said in a statement.
The regulator said that Google and Meta had "ignored multiple demands" to remove materials that incite religious hatred and promote views of "extremist and terrorist organisations", among other violations.
Over the past few years, the Russian government has used the pretext of protecting minors and fighting extremism to crack down on dissent and control the Russian segment of the web. 
It has also begun developing a so-called sovereign internet that can operate independently.
Kremlin critics have accused authorities of muzzling independent media, saying now the government is zeroing in on the internet, considered the last bastion of free speech in Russia.
The Western media giants have denied any violations in the past.
"We'll study the court documents and then decide on next steps," Google's press service told AFP on Friday. There was no immediate comment from Meta.
On Thursday, Twitter was handed its latest fine of three million rubles ($40,000) after authorities started throttling its services in the spring.
Fines and threats
Ahead of parliamentary elections in September, Russia's media watchdog blocked dozes of websites linked to jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, whose organisations have been outlawed in Russia as "extremist".
The regulator also ordered Google and Apple to remove an app dedicated to Navalny's "Smart Voting" campaign which advised supporters who to vote for to unseat Kremlin-aligned politicians. 
The Silicon Valley giants complied, with sources telling AFP the decisions came after authorities threatened to arrest local staff.
Russia's media regulator has also blocked dozens of websites linked to Navalny.
During protests in support of Navalny last winter, Russian authorities accused platforms including Google's YouTube and Twitter of meddling in Russia's domestic affairs by not deleting posts calling for people to join the rallies.
Putin at the time complained that large technology companies were competing with states.
Russia has already blocked a number of websites that have refused to cooperate with authorities, such as the video platform Dailymotion and LinkedIn. 
As part of broad efforts to bend foreign social media under its control, Russia in September banned six major VPN providers including Nord VPN and Express VPN.
Russia also introduced a new law demanding that smartphones, computers and other gadgets sold in the country come with pre-installed domestic software and apps.

CNN Correspondent Comments on Biden Appearing “Confused” After Yet Another Slip Up

A CNN correspondent noted how Joe Biden appeared “confused” throughout an entire interview as he repeatedly mistook COVID home tests for anti-viral pills.
The comment was made in reference to Biden’s 20 minute interview with ABC’s David Muir, during which the president attempted to defend his response to the pandemic and complaints that people in New York were waiting in line for five hours to receive a COVID test.
Biden repeatedly referred to the 500 million at-home tests that had been ordered as “pills,” confusing them with a new Pfizer drug, which was federally approved on the same day.
“Repeatedly throughout this interview – President Biden seems confused and was confusing the half a billion tests that they’ve ordered with a half a billion pills,” said Jeff Zeleny, CNN’s chief national affairs correspondent.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true" readability="10.256756756757">
CNN’s Jeff Zeleny says Joe Biden is “not accepting any responsibility for this lack of testing.”
“There is no sense from this administration [tests] will be sent out early in January as the president suggested." <a href="https://t.co/S9C0MpfjqN">pic.twitter.com/S9C0MpfjqN</a>
— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) <a href="https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1473877403432804352?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 23, 2021</a>
</blockquote>
“Of course, pills were in the news today with the Pfizer approval of the anti-viral, so he corrected himself, but that was one thing that stuck out to me,” he added.
In a rare instance of CNN criticizing Biden, Zeleny accused the president of “not accepting any responsibility” for the lack of testing.
“We’ve seen these images across the country, long lines, just the inability to get tests,” said the reporter.
“And yes, Omicron came on very quickly here, but it has been almost a month since Thanksgiving where they knew this was coming.”
“So he said he wishes he could have acted faster, and then explains why he didn’t.”
Many people have questioned whether Biden is in any fit mental state to run for president again in 2024, never mind remain in office until 2028, at which point he will be 86-years-old.
Last month we <a href="https://summit.news/2021/11/25/former-obama-doctor-white-house-is-doing-everything-they-can-to-hide-bidens-obvious-cognitive-decline/">highlighted</a> the comments of Congressman Ronny Jackson, who was the former White House physician under President Obama and President Trump, regarding Biden’s cognitive state.
“Over 50% of this country does not believe he’s cognitively fit to be our Commander in Chief and our head of state,” said Jackson, adding, “If anyone needs a cognitive test, it’s this president.”

Rand Paul Bashes Fauci Amid Annual “Festivus” Celebration: “Damn That Guy is Wrong a LOT”

<div><img class="ff-og-image-inserted" src="https://api-assets.infowars.com/2021/09/randpaul24i17867767.jpg" /></div>
As is the yearly tradition, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) celebrated the Seinfeld–based Festivus holiday by spelling out his problems with wasteful government spending and petty covid tyrants.
Following a year of Covid restrictions, lockdowns and mask mandates, Paul had plenty to complain about via Twitter Thursday, where he took issue with Democrats who salivated over Covid lockdown measures.

“Festivus of course is highlighted by the airing of grievances. I’ve definitely got a lot of problems with you people,” Paul began adding, “And by you people, I mostly mean the petty tyrants who run your local, state and federal governments. 2021 was a banner year for being a petty tyrant, with them all literally tripping over each other for the dumbest covid lockdown or mandate idea.”

Super Typhoon Rai devastated parts of the Philippines one week ago.
</div>
United Nations:
The United Nations will kick off a campaign Friday to raise $6.5 million in aid for victims of Typhoon Rai, which ravaged the Philippines last week, the organization's in-country coordinator said.
"Tomorrow, we'll be launching at the local level with the international community represented in Manila... a presentation of the humanitarian needs and priority plan," Gustavo Gonzalez told a virtual press conference Thursday.
"The financial ask is $6.5 millions dollars," he said.
The money will be targeted towards 530,000 people in the worst-affected areas, who are in dire need of health logistics, access to drinking water, and sanitation facilities.
"There is momentum for full support," said Gonzalez. "Now the challenge is that all of this announcement and solidarity is rapidly translated into concrete actions."
Super Typhoon Rai devastated parts of the Philippines one week ago, leaving at least 375 people dead, largely in the south and center of the island chain.
It destroyed homes, uprooted trees, and knocked out power for many cities across the country.
