LIAR Nick Calandra Harasses New Video Game Studio

Nick Calandra and users of Second Wind's Discord Channel Censor Educational Game That Teaches Journalism

Recently Nick Calandra called our Citizen Journalism Project a “Hit List.”

The project was never a “religious doctrine” and there were and are no calls to violence. Syn Inquisition teaches users the power of Inquiry (Socratic reasoning) to use against Demons (unethical public figures) to Exorcise (expose and publish the lies to the public).

Students assume the role of an Inquisitor, or someone who asks uncomfortable questions — a historic role of a journalist. The tagline to the website was “Commit Syn(dication).” “Commit” being a reference to the Git command “git commit” and “syn(dication)” being the technical method outlets like Kotaku use to boost their websites’ page ranks with their publication network — syndication being one of the topics taught.

The only screenshots Calandra shows are edgy marketing materials to entice Zoomers into journalism. “Book of Demons” otherwise called a glossary. The Law of Names is a concept in D&D where characters command power over the demon if they know its True Name — we publish our articles under relevant domain names for each unethical entity.

Calandra, having spent years in GAMES JOURNALISM, knows this; He knew the website was an educational game as it was stated several times throughout the website; He knew there were no calls to violence; He knew the website would directly compete with him and his endeavors. Knowing all this, he and his supporters, under Calandra’s instruction, issued false reports to have the project shutdown. He DELIBERATELY left out important context in order to orchestrate a brigade to have it falsely removed.
