The Origin of the Meme

Jason Buttril, the chief researcher for The Blaze network was researching the Refuse to be Silenced poster that many of us have talked about.  He found this obvious ancestor.


Screen capture from the BlazeTV live feed Thursday morning.  If you look closely at the full sized version, you can see the picture of Lady Liberty is degraded on the newer compared to older version.  Perhaps just copied from it and the degradation from successive copy generations?

Kinda puts the final nails in the coffin of the idea it's from right wing organizations, though, doesn't it? 

Thought I'd share.

  1. This rally, the QAnon propaganda, the Kraken....ALL structured propaganda campaigns controlled by the left to distract the conservative right and keep the right hoping instead of ACTING while they finished stealing the election and consolidating their grasp on power.

  2. I'm impressed that you, SB, have time for blog posts, shop work, and keeping the better half happy (or maybe not?). I can never even read 2 or 3 of the articles I tag everyday or get even 1 of the projects on my list (several thousand items long). Much less uncover the sources of the "fake news".
    Obviously, I'm doing something wrong.
    Keep up the GREAT work, and please keep the better half happy.
    (And move the damn "Publish" button to the right-side of the comment box instead of having the "Sign out" button there. I know it is not your fault. Just an ongoing complaint.)
