These days I get more comments from independent fact-checkers on my Facebook posts than I do from my over 600 followers.
Facebook and their independent fact-checkers just following orders and being good civil servants. Biden last Thrusday said the following, if you haven't already heard, “I make a special appeal to social media companies and media outlets — please deal with the misinformation and disinformation that’s on your shows,” he continued. “It has to stop. Covid-19 is one of the most formidable enemies America’s ever faced. We’ve got to work together, not against each other.”
I have Facebook and their independent fact-checkers trying to shut down, censor, and demean my attempts to communicate with my followers, while my followers appear to be self-censoring themselves in this political climate. Well, who can tell how much we are all being shadow banned as well from each other. The War on Information is hot these days. And we are all in it.
In the aftermath of the American Civil War, personal accounts from soldiers offered raw glimpses into the brutal realities of conflict, far removed from romanticized histories. George Cary Eggleston’s Southern Soldier Stories captures the unvarnished experiences of Confederate troops, emphasizing not just battles but the everyday struggles against scarcity and deprivation. This excerpt from his collection, titled “Random Facts,” vividly illustrates the ingenuity and endurance of Southern soldiers amid profound shortages—of clothing, medicine, ammunition, and even food—highlighting how necessity forged both practical innovations and spiritual resilience. It serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, where survival often depended on makeshift solutions and unyielding determination.
