  4. Ah-ha! So this is what Jr. has been doing…..

    EXCERPT: “Facebook’s heavy-handed censoring of gun-related content could soon be coming to an end, or at least dialed back, according to a media company headed up by Donald Trump, Jr. 

    Field Ethos, which bills itself as “the premier lifestyle publication for the unapologetic man,” shared news of a meeting with top executives at Facebook’s parent company Meta that bodes well for the firearms industry. 

    “Recently, we’ve had several promising direct conversations and in-person meetings with the top brass at META with regard to freedom of speech and the steps being taken to ensure that companies in the firearms and hunting related industries are able to communicate and exist unencumbered on the META platforms,” the company shared, adding their “concerns have been taken seriously.” 

    “If you are a firearms/optics/ammo/hunting company and your account is de-platformed, feel free to reach out to us so we can assist in having your account reviewed and restored in a timely manner,” Field Ethos stated. 

    The company also shared that when it comes to shadow-banning, “repairing algorithm censorship is in progress and we can all expect to see improvement in this area through Q1 and Q2 this year.” 

    Interestingly, the company’s post was shared on X by Francis Brennan, who’s part of Meta’s D.C.-based communications office, which would seem to confirm Field Ethos’ information…..”

  5. NF: If only my son’s family in SC would listen…..sigh….he was murdered with Remdesivir!

    “‘They Lied to Us’: Wife of 59-year-old Who Died Hours After Receiving Remdesivir Speaks Out — According to his wife, Shannon, Michael Pilgrim’s medical records showed that other than remdesivir, Michael’s doctors barely offered Michael any treatment. Today, Shannon is trying to raise public awareness of the COVID-19 hospital protocols that she believes led to her husband’s death.

    EXCERPT: “In August 2021, 53-year-old Michael E. Pilgrim and his wife Shannon had just celebrated their 29th wedding anniversary and were looking forward to their daughter’s marriage in October. A former military service member and father of two, Michael was a “good husband and great dad” and enjoyed golf in his spare time.

    However, Michael’s fortunes dramatically changed that month when he experienced a loss of taste, difficulty breathing and a low oxygen level. On Aug. 17, 2021, he was admitted to Dallas Regional Medical Center, near his hometown of Forney, Texas, with a COVID-19 diagnosis.

    Two days later, on Aug. 19, he was dead.

    In an interview with The Defender, Shannon Pilgrim said that from the time Michael was admitted to the hospital, she and other members of her family were barred from visiting him and kept in the dark about the treatment he was receiving.

    According to Shannon, Michael’s medical records showed that doctors barely offered Michael any treatment and emphasized his unvaccinated status. Treatments Michael received included the controversial drug remdesivir — administered hours before his death.

    Today, Shannon is trying to raise public awareness of the COVID-19 hospital protocols that she believes led to her husband’s death. She shared extensive medical documentation with The Defender corroborating her story…..”
