EPISODE 59: Ministry of Truth and Covid Jail

In the first half of this episode, we talk about the Disinformation Governance Board... perhaps better known as The Ministry of Truth. ;) What does it mean to give control over what is true and false or right and wrong to a board of arbitrarily appointed people? We also talk about bill C-11 in Canada, which also has many reasons for us to be wary. At the back half of the episode, we interview Mason, a Shanghai resident who recently got out of what he calls ”Covid Jail.” Mason and his girlfriend were forced to go to a Covid quarantine camp, and he tells us the full story. Shanghai may seem far off, but it is incredibly relevant. Mason mentions that what’s happening in Shanghai is the consequence of an overly compliant society. As we here in North America face things like the Disinformation Governance Board, we would be well served to keep that timely warning in mind. https://www.theboomclapcommunity.com/ https://www.instagram.com/ritarogersco/ https://www.instagram.com/cecily.dickey/ https://justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/pl/charter-charte/c10.html https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/pl/charter-charte/c11_2.html https://www.poynter.org/reporting-editing/2022/what-is-department-homeland-security-disinformation-governance-board/
