This week, Americans got served notice once again that the scales of justice are tipped heavily in favor of one half of the country
A political transformation is currently underway in the United States, one in which the Democratic establishment is on the verge of controlling all levers of power โ from academia, to media and social media to, most ominously, the federal agencies tasked with investigating American citizens and carrying out arrests.

Twitter to Launch Anti-Misinformation Drive ahead of US Midterm Elections
Twitter announced Thursday it was rolling out a plan to combat misinformation on the platform ahead of US midterm elections this November.
"Twitter is the place to find real-time, reliable information about the 2022 midterms," a statement read.
Twitterโs plans include enforcing a civic integrity policy, which prohibits content which purportedly contains false information about the election, may โdissuade people from participating in the electionโ or โundermine public confidence in an electionโ.
The companyโs policy regarding political content moderation remains a hot button issue in the US, as some argue Twitter should elevate established newsmakers while others deem its approach to censorship highly inconsistent, sometimes resulting in posts wrongfully denounced as false.

Amnesty Sweden Co-Founder Resigns over Ukraine Report
Per Wastberg, who co-founded the Swedish branch of Amnesty International, resigned from the organization on Wednesday.
The Swedish activist said his departure was due to Amnestyโs report about the conflict in Ukraine, and that the organization has gone beyond its original mandate to advocate for political prisoners.
โFrom its inception, Amnesty worked for the freedom of political prisoners everywhere in the world,โ said Wastberg, who co-founded the Swedish branch in 1964. โIt has since gradually, sometimes debatably, expanded its mandateโ and become a different kind of organization, Wastberg told the newspaper Svenska Dagbladet, where he is an occasional columnist.

FORCED BLACKOUTS: UK Plans for Worst-Case Energy Scenario โ report
Cold weather combined with gas shortages is expected to force UK authorities to enact a โreasonable worst-case scenario,โ providing for four days of blackouts during the upcoming winter, Bloomberg reports, citing people familiar with the govtโs planning.
The probable outages may affect not only industry, but also the countryโs households, as a result of an electricity capacity shortfall amounting to about a sixth of peak demand โ even after emergency coal plants have been fired up.
The first stage of the UKโs emergency plan reportedly involves the network operator directing flows of gas on the system, temporarily overriding commercial agreements, while the second stage includes halting supplies to gas-fired power stations, triggering planned power cuts for industrial and domestic users.
