Speak Your Truth: Don't Let The Government Criminalize Free Speech
“If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” - George Washington
Authored by John & Nisha Whitehead: What the police state wants is a silent, compliant, oblivious citizenry.
What the First Amendment affirms is an engaged citizenry that speaks truth to power using whatever peaceful means are available to us.
We can be loud.
We can be obnoxious.
We can be politically incorrect.
We can be conspiratorial or mean or offensive.
Iran Navy Forced US Submarine To Surface In Gulf And Leave
First we find out that the combined might of NATO US, UK, etc. special forces on Ukraine's front line are being slaughtered by Russian army regulars and now even Iran is bitch slapping US navy nuclear subs when they dare to to approach their territorial waters - seems like the pussy hat wearing Top Gun US armed forces aren't much of a threat to anyone.
"The U.S. submarine was approaching while submerged, but the Iranian submarine Fateh detected it and carried out... maneuvers to force it to surface as it went through the Strait (of Hormuz). It had also entered into our territorial waters but... it corrected its course after being warned," Irani said.
Speaking Truth To Power: US House Democrat Threatens Twitter Files Journalist With Prosecution And Imprisonment
The backlash against journalists reporting on the US Department Homeland Security’s reach into social media platforms took an ominous turn in recent days.
Authored by Lee Fang: In a letter I exclusively obtained, Rep. Stacey Plaskett, D-V.I., falsely claimed that “Twitter Files” journalist Matt Taibbi lied under oath in his congressional testimony, floating the possibility of criminal prosecution. Plaskett, the same lawmaker who described Taibbi as a “so-called journalist” during his March 9 testimony, also demanded sourcing information and asked that he detail his interactions with Elon Musk.
The Plaskett letter claimed that Taibbi "intentionally" provided false information during his testimony and mentioned the potential consequences of such actions. "Under the federal perjury statute, 18 U.S.C. § 1621, providing false information is punishable by up to five years imprisonment," Plaskett wrote.
The Empire Of Lies
'False
narratives are designed to create a public lost in a Matrix of
misinformation, which conditions people to hate and fear. The hatred of
internal enemies prevents social cohesion that could effectively
challenge governmental authority, while external enemies are demonized
to make people accept endless war.'
“Dr. Roberts is one of the few remaining voices of truth in the West. His essays expose the systematic lies of Western mainstream media, which now provide propaganda rather than news. He explains these false narratives are designed to create a public lost in a Matrix of misinformation, which conditions people to hate and fear. The hatred of internal enemies prevents social cohesion that could effectively challenge governmental authority, while external enemies are demonized to make people accept endless war.
Quinn: The Wall Was Too High, As You Can See
“The propagandist’s purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human...”
“The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does. They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted.” ― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited
