The Cyber Journey of KanekoaTheGreat (+ Italian & German Trial Balloons)
Twitter => Telegram => Substack
Last Sunday I briefly laid out how the information war that is currently raging works. Today I would like to append to that a short document from the Telegram channel KanekoaTheGreat:
This is just an announcement that Kanekoa is starting a new Substack. As such it begins:
The post goes on:
I commend Chris Best and the team at Substack for their commitment to freedom of speech and I look forward to becoming an active member of their community. I started KanekoaTheGreat, on the morning of November 4, 2020, after watching election officials and media pundits from key battleground states announce that they would stop counting for the night, later followed by, the infamous early morning Biden votes spikes.
I was incredibly dismayed to learn that private voting machine vendors run US elections on centralized proprietary software and hardware that is not available for public inspection. Knowing that the mainstream media which had spent the last four-years framing President Trump for being a Russian agent would not cover evidence of election fraud, I decided to use my graphic design, video editing, and writing skills to report on the thousands of witness affidavits, statistical impossibilities, and video evidence outlining the details of how the 2020 election was stolen. Half a billion tweet impressions, 147,000 followers, and two and half months later, I was permanently banned from Twitter on January 12, 2021.
My last tweet was, "Nothing else matters until we fix our election system." Without following their own policy guidelines, twitter banned me, without warning strikes and without explanation. Although, the reason was obvious, I had been a central node of reporting election fraud on their platform with the former President sharing my threads five times in both of our final weeks on their website. I have continued to report on election fraud, the lies around COVID-19, and public-private corruption via the free-speech platforms of gab, telegram, and rumble, and I will continue to do so.
I created a Substack because I realize that the post that I make on telegram and gab are not in an ideal format to spread across legacy social platforms, but Substack is more suited to break through that barrier, simply due to the thumbnail and link structure of their articles […]
This past week Italy was a battleground in the information war as the country implemented some of the most stringent vaccine workplace rules in the world, which make it a lot more difficult to be unvaccinated and gainfully employed.
The corporate and government media, as is their custom, either completely ignored or downplayed the protests.
Social media, however, blew up with images and videos of Italian plazas and ports teeming with protestors.
I recommend reading this dissident take on the unrest from last week.
In its coverage the New York Times did note that Italy’s new workplace restrictions are something of a trial balloon:
The law goes further than those in other European countries or the United States in pushing vaccination mandates, which have become central — and hotly contested — parts of government strategies to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
With the step, Italy — the first democracy to have quarantined towns and applied national lockdowns — is again first across a new threshold, making clear that it is willing to use the enormous leverage of the state to try to curb the pandemic and get its economy moving.
The prime minister of Italy, Mario Draghi, served as the president of the European Central Bank until 2019. Another trial balloon, it so happens, went up this past week in his old haunts.
