Everything is racist in the eyes of the “woke.” That’s the takeaway from dozens of major events that have taken place in the past couple of years. Whenever a person of color is treated in, well, any way at all, it is always racism that causes it based on progressive doctrine. Personal responsibility is the least woke thing imaginable.
The latest episode of “Was It Racist” took place yesterday as Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed a controversial election integrity bill into law. State Representative Park Cannon wanted to unlawfully enter the chambers, which were guarded by law enforcement. They were cordial but firm in their refusal to let her enter the chamber during a closed session, but she persisted. As soon as she pushed forward to knock on the door, they took her into custody.

Her supporters on the scene were quite perturbed. One asked how the Governor has more power than a Representative. But she was well aware that what she was doing was unlawful, and some have speculated she intended to get arrested to give her more publicity. Woke Twitter responded accordingly.
According to The Post Millennial:
According to Georgia State Patrol, representative Cannon was arrested for refusing orders that required her to stop knocking on the Governor’s door. “She was advised that she was disturbing what was going on inside and if she did not stop, she would be placed under arrest,” said GSP spokesman Lt. W. Mark Riley. “Rep. Cannon refused to stop knocking on the door.”
Court Documents indicate that Cannon was charged with “knowingly and intentionally” knocking on the governor’s door during a bill signing as well as repeatedly stomping on and officer’s foot.
Progressive activist Ben O’Keefe thought law enforcement was too aggressive.
Rep. Park Cannon was arrested for knocking on Brian Kemp’s door as he was signing an egregious voter suppression bill. This is disgusting. These officers had no right to arrest her or treat her so aggressively. They should face repercussions and Rep. Cannon must be released. pic.twitter.com/YueplkTu7I

Senator Jon Ossoff chimed in. He never misses an opportunity to chime in.
I stand with Georgia State Rep. Park Cannon (@Cannonfor58), who was arrested and CHARGED WITH A FELONY for … for what?

CNN’s Don Lemon framed it as a voter suppression bill.

Civil rights attorney Nora Benavidez invoked “Jim Crow” in describing the bill.

Officials arrested State Rep. Park Cannon a bit ago as she knocked on the door where the governor was signing a voter suppression bill into law. The bill was rushed thru GA, predicated on disinfo, & continues Jim Crow era tactics of oppression. https://t.co/98mx3L1Yvn

Democratic candidate Nabilah Islam went straight for the “racism” question.
One cannot help but think if they would have dragged a white woman this way.
Rep. Park Cannon is a sitting Georgia legislator and should never have been arrested in the first place.

Cannon was released a few hours later on bond.
Hey everyone, thank you for your support. I’ve been released from jail. I am not the first Georgian to be arrested for fighting voter suppression. I’d love to say I’m the last, but we know that isn’t true. #SB202

One can question the decision to arrest her, but let’s be very clear that there are zero indications that race played any role in the decision. Would a white male Representative have been arrested for the exact same actions? Based on the resolute manner the decision to arrest her was made, it seems clear that the preestablished trigger was an attempt to breach the chambers, in this case by knocking on the door against instructions from law enforcement. While there’s no way to test the theory, it seems obvious that a white male would have suffered the same fate.
When everything is painted as being racist, the argument loses its prominence. There is real racism in America, but playing the race card constantly prevents legitimate claims from being seen.
‘The Purge’ by Big Tech targets conservatives, including us
Just when we thought the Covid-19 lockdowns were ending and our ability to stay afloat was improving, censorship reared its ugly head.
For the last few months, NOQ Report has appealed to our readers for assistance in staying afloat through Covid-19 lockdowns. The downturn in the economy has limited our ability to generate proper ad revenue just as our traffic was skyrocketing. We had our first sustained stretch of three months with over a million visitors in November, December, and January, but February saw a dip.
It wasn’t just the shortened month. We expected that. We also expected the continuation of dropping traffic from “woke” Big Tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter, but it has actually been much worse than anticipated. Our Twitter account was banned. One of our YouTube accounts was banned and another has been suspended. Facebook “fact-checks” everything we post. Spotify canceled us. Why? Because we believe in the truth prevailing, and that means we will continue to discuss “taboo” topics.
The 2020 presidential election was stolen. You can’t say that on Big Tech platforms without risking cancelation, but we’d rather get cancelled for telling the truth rather than staying around to repeat mainstream media’s lies. They have been covering it up since before the election and they’ve convinced the vast majority of conservative news outlets that they will be harmed if they continue to discuss voter fraud. We refuse to back down. The truth is the truth.
The lies associated with Covid-19 are only slightly more prevalent than the suppression of valid scientific information that runs counter to the prescribed narrative. We should be allowed to ask questions about the vaccines, for example, as there is ample evidence for concern. One does not have to be an “anti-vaxxer” in order to want answers about vaccines that are still considered experimental and that have a track record in a short period of time of having side-effects. These questions are not allowed on Big Tech which is just another reason we are getting cancelled.
There are more topics that they refuse to allow. In turn, we refuse to stop discussing them. This is why we desperately need your help. The best way NOQ Report readers can help is to donate. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well. We are on track to be short by about $5300 per month in order to maintain operations.
The second way to help is to become a partner. We’ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn’t seem necessary. Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills. We had 5,657,724 sessions on our website from November, 2020, through February, 2021. Our intention is to elevate that to higher levels this year by focusing on a strategy that relies on free speech rather than being beholden to progressive Big Tech companies.
During that four-month stretch, Twitter and Facebook accounted for about 20% of our traffic. We are actively working on operating as if that traffic is zero, replacing it with platforms that operate more freely such as Gab, Parler, and others. While we were never as dependent on Big Tech as most conservative sites, we’d like to be completely free from them. That doesn’t mean we will block them, but we refuse to be beholden to companies that absolutely despise us simply because of our political ideology.
We’re heading in the right direction and we believe we’re ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only “get in on the action” but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.
As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report going.
