Which media outlet has now TWICE ignored life-saving heroics by our state police? And is the Legislature really threatening to take away the school budgets from voters?

  1. Well, VTDigger is NOT a news organization, “there lies the problem Alice”….you see they are a political organization masquerading as a news organization.

    What about the cop they roasted for months for being an anti-semite, then low and behold when the body cam came out you could not have asked for a more professional and kind state trooper.

    They have an agenda……..degrade the cops, hide the crime, hide the crime in Montpelier. Skew every story to make the marxist look good. They are part and parcel of a color revolution, orchestrated by the minions at the united nations (agenda 21) through their many none profit organization, again political operations hiding behind the do good cover of non-profit.

    They stopped allowing commentators, because they couldn’t keep up with the “moderation” aka censor ship. They could not stand up to the truth, people speaking the truth with good valid arguments were taken off in legions. This is also true for Front Porch Forum, VPR and 7 Days….all curated to make the political operatives look good.

    These organizations should lose their non-profit status.

    Why won’t they let commentators on their site??????? Ruins the propagandist good times….that’s why.

    If anybody wants to read a good book about the state of affairs in the “press”, Sheyrl Atkisson, The Smear, written before Trump will tell you all you need to know. It’s rather sad and enlightening and hard to believe.

    Question, how is it that every, and I mean every news organization covers the same topics with the same words on the same night? Do you understand what coordination and how massive the system must be? It’s staggering..

  2. Most excellent post by Neil. And I wear my shirt “Control the Media, Control the Masses” with frequency in Vermont & am usually met by raised eyebrows – testifying to the fact that the reason why brainwashing is so effective is that most people never realize that it has occurred. Once in a while, when wearing similar conservative-type apparel, a few will stop and whisper that they agree with me, which is equally as troubling within a supposedly “free” Constitutional Republic.

    To this end, the fact of the matter is that mainstream media has been bought up these dangerous Communists and tyrants and One World Order – and they all have the billions to it. Hence, the massive outrage when Musk met fire with fire and was financially able to purchase Twitter. Only recently now, nefarious George Soros has purchased over 220 radio stations nationwide in preparation for yet again skewing the US ’24 national elections —- as if attempting to use our kangaroo court, weaponized judicial system hasn’t been enough in preventing a free & fair election.

    The USA is in huge trouble, and we may or may not survive, but we should damn well do whatever it takes to at least attempt to ensure survival.

  3. So, Paul and Guy: Do you honestly want several thousand people to show up in Montpelier to practice ‘civil disobedience’? Did you not learn anything from the ‘Jan 6 insurrection’? Are you willing to spend a couple of years in prison when violent infiltrators make your efforts appear criminal? Even when most of you are invited into the Capitol building.

    Our problem is lawlessness. As Ben Franklin opined 237 years ago… our Republic “…can only end in Despotism as other Forms have done before it, when the People shall become so corrupted as to need Despotic Government, being incapable of any other.”

    In which case this preamble comes to mind… beginning with:

    “When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”

    “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.”

    “But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present [Vermont Legislature] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.”

    “For imposing taxes on us without our consent;”

    “For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments;”

    “For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.”

    “In every stage of these oppressions, we have petitioned for redress, in the most humble terms. Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A [Vermont Legislator], whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.”

    Are you ready, Vermonters? Will you stand with ‘Patriots’ who support the U.S. and Vermont Constitutions, and the free-market principles for which they stand? Or will you stand with the ‘Loyalist’ Legislators, who bribe you with the money and property earned by the rest of us?

    Every so often, Americans arrive at a governmental crossroad of significant proportion. In 1860, it was the Civil War. Hopefully, this time, it will end with less ‘civil disobedience’. But make no mistake – we have arrived, yet again, at the crossroads.

  4. IRS should definitely investigate the non-profit status of Front Porch Forum, which stifles any free speech that threatens to touch the third rail.

    • Front Porch Forum is not a non-profit. It’s a Vermont ‘public benefits corporation’. An while its status does have some benefits over and above a typical LLC, donations to it are not tax deductible.

    • Front Porch Forum is a Public Benefit Corporation, which means that there are tax incentives for it to allow the public to comment on the site without censoring them.

      So I’ll be filing a complaint against the forum with state and possibly federal tax officials for censoring the public and preventing some people from putting comments that the forum organizers don’t like.

    • Anyone who thinks Front Porch Forum has no tax benefits by being a public benefit corporation is whistling dixie past the graveyard

  5. When the moonbat-infested media intentionally fails to report on the heroic, lifesaving deeds of uniformed public safety professionals, it is intended as a punishment for past perceived transgressions.
