Critical Thinking and Reasoning

  [February 29, 2024 (18:40 PST) Happy leap-year critical thinkers, Once again, no one proposed to me, Arguably, as a lonely San Francisco writer just trying to dodge racially motivated physical attacks on public transit and in stores which our do-nothing DA will not pursue [despite a 20X violated restraining order issued by CA Superior Court's, Judge Sandoval, applied to someone who chased me down the hallways with knives in my last building threatening to kill me hurling racial and homophobic slurs] a buttload of poop every block, and FentiBenties overturning the public trash cans to organize what is all they have--they're trash, this city and the greater Bay Area continues to descend into chaos. People Ask: Why Do You Stay Here I stay here because it is the 5th largest TV market & 6th in Radio despite those industries rapid decline and the phony reporters which are largely propagandists unable to investigate news stories on their own or apply critical thinking and reason

[February 26, 2024 (11:11 PST)] Regrettably, tensions are rising in our now emerging civil war,  In multiple posts, CT&Reasoning has previously acknowledged how social media was used some 14-15 years-ago to facilitate toppling of countries in North Africa and the Middle East; now, these platforms have been largely turned against us. Matter of fact, upon awakening, have you ever had your phone's battery mysteriously drained down? You may have been surveilled the previous night, according to multiple reliable sources--which have been reporting this for years, now. Alright, that is not our focus, but when I realized I had not shut-off and secured my smartphone in the mylar pouch which shields it from becoming a spying device, I initiated a search to find it; instead, it was left in the grocery bag where I had parked it after getting off the bus, after arriving home. Picking it up, it was logged into my junk gmail I use for promotions, newsletters, etc. . . .odd, huh? US Reversed

  [FEBRUARY 23, 2024 (14:00 PST)] Amended Feb 24: Latest on Evil Doer George Soros Scooping Up 220 US Radio Stations Greetings everyone on another hectic news day, I am scouring other platforms and news sites to get around this rather vague report. CBS: NORAD  TRACKED OVER WESTERN US CBS FALSELY CLAIM NO INTEL LOST YEAR AGO The east coast feed of CBS Network News airs locally at 3:30 PST and I would expect some clarification on what is transpiring. Beginning to Wonder if Terror Cells Allowed in Now Activating BREAKING: ABC REPORTS AH-64 APACHE DOWN IN MISSISSIPPI CNN BUSINESS: HOLLOWED OUT VICE & BUZZFEED IN FRANTIC RETREAT Further evidence? Yahoo Finance: Warner Bros All Time Ad Low Studio Weakness I think there are a number of factors here: 1) Yes, the MSM is cratering as the populous repel from their propaganda seeing through agenda 2) Although not reported much, consumers are pulling back on discretionary spending to pay for food inflation, car and home insurance skyrocketing

  [February 20, 2024 (12:30 PST) Welcome back, critical thinkers, Arguably, CT&Reasoning has done twenty-five or thirty posts regarding censorship. We even posted the confidential handbook created following the 2016 election which was the blueprint for everything which unfolded from a meeting of big tech titans, legacy media, and globalists lieutenants in January 2017. US Effectively Under Military Rule Redacted News: Clayton & Natali Morris Breakdown Tucker Carlson Interview of Talking Fed   So, while this is not as earthshattering granted what was taught in multiple classes at SFSU regarding the first Twitter War which resulted in Mubarak being unseated in Egypt (2011,) we continue to see evidence of the censorship which continues to this day--a violation of the 1st amendment.

  [FEBRUARY 16, 2024 (14:45 PST) Trump Booking Photo Fulton County GA Huge news day critical thinkers, I was departing for a previously scheduled event when at 12:15 PST, CBS Network broke over KPIX 5, there was a verdict of guilty in the NY civil case,  Firing back up the criticalthinkingandreasoning.com newsroom--now buzzing at this hour.  We are consuming several radio, TV, and digital streaming talk and news feeds. For now, I want to quickly put-up links from across the media landscape and will be digesting all of this along with you. . . .and make a few observations based on much of what I am hearing and reading CNN: TRUMP ORDERED TO PAY 350M NY CIVIL CASE NEWSWEEK: MELINA IVANKA COULD SAVE TRUMPS BUSINESSES ERIC DONALD JR ALSO BARRED FROM BIZ FOR 3 YRS PAY 4 M JUDGEMENT [15:05:30 PST] I mage Credit: Media Pool  Trump Speaks Outside Courthouse After Verdict TRUMP: WE EMPLOY 10,000s PEOPLE JUDGE DECLARED GUILTY BEFORE TRIAL THIS IS RUSSIA CHINA A WEAPONIZED DOJ ELECTION INTERFERENC

  [February 14, 2024 (11:11 AM PST)] Happy Valentines' Day, critical thinkers, There is a breaking story about a heightened level of alarm among lawmakers in DC We Know Little: Lawmakers Urge Declassification as Early as Tomorrow FOX: RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA: THREAT CONCERNS CAPABILITY IN SPACE I will be adding to this as the hours go by and information will--most likely--be leaked. I mentioned in my last post all of the negative stories on Trump in the last few days regarding his gaffes and age; obviously, Trump really stepped-in-it [as we say around here in SF's Tenderloin] regarding the remarks about not defending NATO members who are not funding their own military sufficiently; this, coupled with the simultaneous MSM articles on how Democrats are stuck with Biden after several days of stories speculating they need to find a way to replace him as the standard bearer as his health continues to dramatically decline. Take a look at this CNN piece downplaying the Hur reports substa

  [February 12, 2024 (11:00 AM PST)] Quite a super bowl weekend, critical thinkers, Well, I woke-up to--oftentimes--fake news KCBS which never mentioned anything about President Biden's condition over the last four-days and has been consistent with the local TV market here in SF; basically, suspending much of any news other than about the impending Big Game. Shortly after tuning into the incessant cackling of Joe Getty [rivalling that of the VP he just opens the mic and burst into fake laughter ever 12 seconds] on 560 KSFO, I could see the talk radio news cycle had reset to all things Joe Biden's senility; understandably, Dan Bongino has spent the last 2-hours analyzing the situation we have been faced with for years as the local TV repeaters just talk about yesterday's game and the relentless Bay Area crime wave.

  [February 10, 2024 (14:00 PST)] Editor's Note: CT&Reasoning stays clear--for the most part--of Trump this/Biden that; however, this has become about national security--the very survival of the republic. Clearly, this man is compromised by foreign governments and after reading the first 48 pages and skimming the remaining 175-page special council's report--one can conclude--he has egregiously mishandled classified information over at least three decades; most likely, having shared docs with our enemies; finally, degenerating to the point of chronic dementia with the angry outbursts, word salads, and lack of comprehension necessary to run the executive branch of the United States of America. The process, perhaps under the 25th Amendment, needs to remove him from office. I Will Take This a Step Further: We Have a Traitor in the WH Pushing a Civil War Welcome back critical thinkers, It has been almost two-full days since the ABC Special Report broke at 8:00 PM PST on Thursday

  [February 8, 2024 (9:00 AM PST)] Got a question for all of our critical thinkers, Do we have a right to listen to what the leader of Russia has to say? This morning, one of the big stories is this Tucker Carlson Interview of Putin which is scheduled to drop on 'X, Tucker Carlson Network [TCN] and multiple other platforms at 6:00 EST. TCN: Tucker Trailer for Putin Interview Millions to Watch and CT&R Will Cover Live: Switching Gears  At CT&Reasoning, we cover or unveil much of what the MSM ignores or spins when it is too obvious or unable to be covered up--better yet--we have regularly pointed out the use of censorship through omission. Case in point, the 60 Minutes coverage last Sunday of the ongoing invasion of the US; previously, multiple posts of CT&R have documented the near boot camp regimentation and instruction--even downright funding and logistical efforts occurring around the clock at the Darien Gap, Panama. The fleet of tour busses leaving hour after hour lo

  [Feb 2, 2024 (15:00 PST)] Image Credit: The Drive Busy day in the CT&Reasoning newsroom, critical thinkers, I think these layoffs in MSM are further crippling the remaining dinosaur media; accordingly, the repeaters on our local network TV affiliates drone on about the weather and seem unable to have an editor or news director instruct the teleprompter readers to pivot and insert some network feeds from NY or LA, for example. Entry level TV 101, people. About two-hours since this story broke, electronic media coverage is also spotty. I have tried to go to Defense One, LA Times, and  Star & Stripes-- crickets! Alright, Star & Stripes has the story now.
