This week on PNN/EJR I will focus on corporate sponsored censorship. Story number one deals with the corporate perversion of the RICO laws.This month, peaceful activists protesting in the Stop Cop City movement were hit with RICO or racketeering charges and facing serious jail terms--for using their 1st amendment rights, while Trump is free facing 91 charges. In response to an emerging awareness of global climate devastation caused by fossil fuel and the industries bankrolling them, environmentalists are sueing corporations, pushing boycotts and divestment campaigns with some success, so the corporate law firms enabling fossil fuel devised a strategy using the RICO or racketeering laws against peacable activists. Environmentalists are using their constitutional rights to demand change. There is no racketeering in evidence, but corporate law firms have prevailed in their quest to criminalize protected constitutional rights. The other story will deal with book bans and yes--book burnings (at least on a symbolic level). I will discuss the ordeal of one teacher fighting censorship in the public schools as she pushes to teach the truth about systemic racism. This will be followed by the story of a gubernatorial candidate in Missouri, state senator and his colleague as they PLAY with--FLAME THROWERS. The flame throwers were aimed at a stack of allegedly empty boxes according to Mo. State Senators Bill Eigel & Nick Stroer--but the implied deadly threat was clear. Mainstream media focused on the idea they were burning books and Eigel's lame excuse that they were burning empty boxes--but ignored the clear stochastic terroristic threat hailing back to the days of Hitler's Third Reich. That's story number two. We will have another segment of My Little Margie, our favorite blonde Neanderthal and a very 'special' Jackass of the Week. Come join me. Jeanine
