EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Like it or not, social media is the communication form of the future — not just in the U.S., but worldwide. Just Facebook and Twitter combined reach 1.8 billion people. More than two-thirds of all Americans (68 percent) use Facebook. YouTube is pushing out TV as the most popular place to watch video. Google is the No. 1 search engine in both the U.S. and the world.
War is being declared on the conservative movement in this space and conservatives are losing — badly. If the right is silenced, billions of people will be cut off from conservative ideas and conservative media. It’s the new battleground of media bias. But it’s worse. That bias is not a war of ideas. It’s a war against ideas. It’s a Clar effort to censor the conservative worldview from the public conversation. The Media Research Center has undertaken an extensive study of the problem at major tech companies — Twitter, Facebook, Google and YouTube — and the results are far more troubling than most conservatives realize.
Here are some of the key findings: ENTIRE ARTICLE

… “Voices are being silenced, opinions are being censored and conservative media are beány suppressed. These tech companies claim they provide platforms to connect people and share ideas. However, when the only ideas permitted are from one side, any prospect of intellectual discourse dies. If these platforms merely serve as an echo chamber of liberal talking points, everyone loses. Our country is divided and limiting free speech only makes matters worse.“ …

RESTON, VA – The Media Research Center (MRC) released an extensive report Monday documenting the censorship of conservative voices by Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Google. The release of this report follows Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s congressional testimony last week where he was questioned about the growing concern that Facebook engages in political bias and censorship.

This is the story of one Czechoslovak woman who took advantage of a rescue operation organized and financed by the famous Czech industrialist, Jan Antonin Bata.
Bata helped thousands of Czechoslovak people to escape from the Nazi through his worldwide organization that was headquartered in Zlin, Czechoslovakia. One historical dokument found at the U.S. Holocaust Museum was written by a Jewish refugee who labeled Bata’s efforts “Operation Salvation.” Other records describe that hundreds of Jewish families numbering about two thousand were deliberately repositioned outside of Czechoslovakia as early as the Austrian Anschluss in mid-1938 throughout 1939 to safe areas all over the world.

The following notes are to assist readers to have some understanding as to the background of why this hijacking took place:
In October 1938 Hitler occupied Czechoslovakia following the signing of the Munich Agreement that September. A few Czechoslovaks managed to leave the country prior to this happening, or during the early days of the occupation, and made their way to Poland, some joining the Polish military forces, and others going to other countries. After World War 2 was declared, on 3 September 1939 and a few days later Poland fell to the invading German military, many of these Czechoslovaks were able to make their way to France and when France fell those who were able to went to England. Here some joined the Royal Air Force and the majority served in the Czechoslovak Fighter Squadrons of 310, 312, or 313. Many others served in 311 Squadron which was a Bomber and later Coastal Command Squadron. By 8 May 1945, when the war in Europe had ended, approximately 2500 Czechoslovaks had served in the RAF and just over 500 had made the ultimate sacrifice.

This PRESENTATION was prepared by John Nash to demonstrate that Jan Antonin Bata provided financial, organizational, and moral support for the Czechoslovak resistance and the defense of Czech people prior to the Munich Crisis and throughout the war. Bata’s support for his country was unprecedented. It is our hope that eventually, Jan Bata will be rightfully recognized as Czech patriot for the great service he rendered to his country.
