#PetPeeve:

This applies to lots of types of sites, but it particularly pisses me off with mainstream news organizations.

Many of them publish content to the web, but they absolutely refuse to actually link to anything else on the web. Any #links you happen to see in their #news #stories are only to other things on their own sites - category links, indices, search for a given name, etc.

A story about a contractor issuing a public letter to a city council about cost overruns on a project and pushing back against the council's misleading public statements? "Why on earth would you expect us to link from that story to any of the following?"

1) the background on the project in question, or the city's info page on it
2) the contractor's website
3) the contractor's publicly posted statement
4) the city's publicly posted statement that the contractor is replying to
5) hell, even the city's main site page

It's infuriating. Are you scared to link to other, relevant sites? Why, do you think the web's links are one-way streets and the visitor will never come back?

US #MainstreamNews is often written by Israeli spies.

It's not surprising, since the #CIA and #Mossad work hand in hand to cover the #globalsouth in smears of blood as they foment war all over the world. Why wouldn't they be working together to systematically brainwash the American public?

Breaking up monopolies is a built-in feature of bitcoin. Monopolies only got to where they are by borrowing large amounts they can only do that on a #fiatCurrency system.

A concerted effort by #thePeople to reject dotCons is vital for their breakup, now. It's too difficult politically to #breakThemUp if dotCons can #blackmail as they did in #Australia, 2021. Falsebook and Goo' cut us off from #mainstreamNews outlets.

Grassroots #activism is needed.
