Key Biden Transition Team Positions Go To Facebook and Google Execs
“A major fight over the next 4 years will be over who is and is not allowed to be heard on the internet, and who wields the power to police discourse”
Throughout the Obama-Biden reign and especially as it came to a close, Obama administration officials flooded into Silicon Valley, taking top jobs at Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, and other Big Tech entities. Now Biden is tapping the Obama admin-Silicon Valley revolving door for top spots in his administration.
The cozy relationship and revolving door between the Obama-Biden admin and Big Tech was well-documented. Here’s just a sampling:
- CNN: Obama’s staff is taking over Silicon Valley
- Politico: Obama-Google connection scares competitors
- Breitbart: Facebook Has Dozens of Ex-Obama and Ex-Hillary Staffers in Senior Positions
- NY Mag’s Intelligencer: For Ex-Obama Officials, the Revolving Door Swings Open to Silicon Valley
- The Intercept: The Android Administration: Google’s Remarkably Close Relationship With the Obama White House, in Two Charts
Obama-Biden admin alums swarmed into Silicon Valley, and now Biden is turning to Big Tech to fill key roles in his transition landing teams and in his administration.

There’s a lot of sensitivity among progressives and some conservatives to the Biden admin tapping leaders with ties to Silicon Valley. These four were part of the Obama admin before going to work for tech companies.

It’s no accident that the Democrat/Media/Big Tech axis is working overtime to suppress news, opinion, viewpoints that don’t toe the Democrat line and socialist/communist agenda. They are, after all, going to be richly rewarded. Banana republic style.
If, during an election, tech giants take unprecedented steps to censor the internet to prevent the spread of incriminating reporting about a candidate, then of course that candidate, upon winning, should turn key government posts over to them.
Anything else would be ungrateful. https://t.co/AFgWrpjuBF

The social media giants censor your political opponent during the elections – so you reward them with cushy jobs inside government when the election is over.
This is banana republic stuff. Our democracy will not survive it. https://t.co/IhQTfz2dEt

Some of the wokesters are quitting their jobs in protest that Facebook is not sufficiently suppressing any and all dissent—including mainstream right-wing platforms—as anti-democracy “hate speech.”
Important article from @BuzzFeedNews. It’s about how many Facebook employees believe that content from mainstream right-wing sites — eg, Fox and @DailyCaller — is “hate speech,” and must be censored from the platform. They’re quitting in protest: https://t.co/wfXUK1Zza9

A major fight over the next 4 years will be over who is and is not allowed to be heard on the internet, and who wields the power to police discourse.
The people who spent 4 years screaming “Fascism!” ironically want the US Govt & tech giants to unite to censor their adversaries.

None of this bodes well for the right, center-right, conservatives or anyone else who is skeptical about the radical left’s plan to remake America and “build back better” while silencing anyone who dares challenge—or even question—these disastrous unAmerican policies.
If you haven’t already, start preparing now for the great decoupling.

Joe Biden Posts Pictures of Dogs Tearing Up Trump Doll

Just a moment here. The Constitution says that the President of the Senate ( Mike Pence ) shall count the electoral votes and report the winner to us. Here is the perfect chance to steal this election right back. They have to take his word for it. Why can’t his count be just as accurate as the votes in the general election ? Tit for tat I say.
Getting into the Oval Office is only part of the equation. In order to lead, others must follow and if half or more of the populace won’t follow, they’re not leading anything. Our country is about to become ungovernable.
Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, et al, yes. And, of course, Google/YouTube/etc. under the umbrella corporation Alphabet.

Wow it’s almost like they’re ALREADY a part of the Democrat party and are just using the BuT wE’rE tOtAlLy JuSt A pRiVaTe CoMpAnY bullshit to keep the RINOs placated.
Break them up! Shame them for not sharing their windfalls reaped in a pandemic. Blast them for their censorship and manipulation. Expose them for their corrupt cooperation with Democrats, as shown here. This should be the mantra.
I see we’re not even pretending we’re not Communists now.
So how do I stop my money from going to these companies? Given his wealthy they are, I think there’s more things I need to worry about than I realized. Obviously step two is convincing other people to do the same, but I still need to figure out where all the leaks are first.
Facebook account is gone. Instagram is tougher since it is nice to be able to keep track of friends a little and it had less ads and less annoying messages from people. I try to avoid clicking ads, but if I open a browser and go to the same site they probably know?
Duckduckgo is my default search engine but sometimes it’s subpar and I switch to Google for a search. Google maps is king and another tough one.
I need to be done with Google phones, probably my biggest leak. Switch to apple I guess since at least they seem to have made a decent commitment to privacy? I doubt there’s any real way to win here
Gmail I’ll save for last but maybe I should experiment with a new provider and just forwarding things from Gmail.
I very rarely use twitter. Need to get on parler to support people making that move.
Youtube is another difficult one. Hard to avoid as many places only put their content on there.
What am I missing?
Regarding
AdenoidAndroid phones: some are far more invasive than others. In my experience, Samsung is far and away the worst offender when it comes to “try me” and “have you signed up for… junk, mostly centered around Samsung themselves. I have an inexpensive but quite decent Motorola one called “Motorola Fast”. I have it for a special purpose. I bought it, unlocked, from Amazon. Virtually NO junkware, a nice interface, and no “try me”s.Irony of ironies, Google’s own line of Pixel mobile phones seem to be among the LEAST-annoying on the market; this includes the ones provided by carriers.
My everyday mobile is an Apple. NO annoyances at all.
Annoyances like those are only one of the factors to consider. Who is profiting from your purchases is another, and probably more important.
Most of all, we should ask ourselves if we really need these things. I don’t have a smartphone, for example, only an old-style flip-phone. (I kept my landline until last year, when I finally disconnected it because the phone company had jacked up the rates to obscene levels. Saved $50/mo by going to the cheapest cellular service I could find.)
Proton Email
And Rumble videos.
People communicated before tech, we will have to again
The quality of communication was much higher, too. It would actually be an improvement.
Significant change is certainly needed.
I’m old enough to remember writing and receiving letters in the mail — and I don’t mean email.
I also remember when magazines, journals and books(!) were how we kept abreast of intellectual and technical trends.
The great decoupling would be a lot easier if some trustworthy site (hint, hint) published a list of trustworthy web hosts and so forth.
So where are the editorials from major newspapers bemoaning the lack of government experience in these new hires? Oh, forgot. (D)
These are refugees from the Obama administration returning to their natural home, where they can suck off the public teat and indulge their predeliction for telling others what to do.
I.e., the problem is that they do have government experience.
I took a week off from watching all news this past week. So besides wow on the giant shit storm of near civil war I learned something else.
For lack of other content- I started watching Jordan Peterson stuff for some grounded views on humanity and for the lighter side, movie reviews by Critical Drinker who has a very accurate and intelligent take on most of the movies and other content produced in the last decade. Upon delving further down that rabbit hole- and I learned I have greatly underestimated how much these people hate us and how evil their intentions truly are. All the woke business you see in movies is the tip of the iceburg.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND critical drinkers channel. He’s one of us.
“They are, after all, going to be richly rewarded. Banana republic style.”
Of course, with that also comes the risk of being richly rewarded by the resistance, banana republic-style.
Leftist know how to reward their friends.
Greatly fear deplatforming is going to happen in attempt to cut down conservative information. Termed “hate speach” is the rage in Europe.
Biden is not the President anymore than I am the owner of a car that I steal.
Perhaps there is a reason that the Dems want us to surrender to crime? The pattern is there.
Someone pointed out last week Democrats have almost deathly silent.
He’s just going to make the swamp more abvious.
Fyi

Gateway Pundit
How many of Bidens cabinet and employees are on the list of CCP workers?
So with this article are you saying it’s over, we have no chance to stop this?
Is it just me that thinks so or does every picture of Biden speaking look like an infant crying?
