@10, well said. You actually understand liberty, and that sometimes it’s necessary to make a stand.
Btw, I see people at the grocery store carrying guns. Does that mean they’re gonna stop someone from buying Cheetos or milk?
Oh, and they’re not at polling stations, they’re making sure the early drop boxes are not being stuffed.
Disconnect from MSM, particularly CNN-MSNBC-ABC-CBS, they’re staffed by BMGF students, and there are only 6 corporations that own the majority of media. Fact.
Look at who funds NGOs. Look at whom they fund.
Want to know what’s going on? Follow the money. Then ask ‘why’?
And defamed. These things are to be expected, when one publicly espouses their beliefs. As everyone has a right to their own opinions.
My question, is simple.
Since truth is based on facts, and they are derived from evidence. Who is the supreme arbiter of truth? Would a man/woman be able to do this without personal beliefs and biases coloring their perspectives? What is the threshold for evidence?
See, it’s not so simple. It’s not condensed into an opinion piece on a random website.
“Want to know who controls you, look to whom you cannot criticize”, yep, another Voltaire quote.
I could write volumes about this.
Once you can suppress opinions and criticism, you can control the narratives and dictate whatever you want. If you can persecute your enemies for what they say, then you are the tyrant, the oppressor, the boot heel on the throat of freedom.
‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.’
Ratified 1789
This is part of the first ten amendments, that we refer to as The Bill Of Rights. These rights are given by our creator, whether it’s your father in Heaven or your father on Earth. They are not granted by government, they are inalienable. This means you have them from your first breath to your last. They were enumerated and enshrined in our founding documents to remind future leaders NOT to infringe upon them. The result of which would be the slippery slope of tyranny. The very thing that caused the American Revolution. (And why the wording of the 2nd is what it is.)
While there some practical things that should be prohibited, like yelling ‘fire’ in a crowded theater, except when there is an actual fire. The ‘human rights act is actually a limitation on the 1st amendment.
I have followed the cases against Mr. Jones, as my interest derives from having been a professional writer years ago. Mr. Jones was actually deprived of an actual trial, the judge ordered him in default, claiming he did not provide disclosure in a set amount of time. That effectively barred his legal team from presenting a defense. The jury was only tasked with assessing the damages. I am not defending Mr. Jones’s statements or the actions of those whom harassed the plaintiffs.
Simple facts:
1. Mr. Jones did not kill anyone. 2. Mr. Jones did not actually tell his audience to attack or harass anyone. 3. Those who DID threaten and harass, committed crimes. And those are the individuals who should face a jury of their peers. As they alone, are responsible for their actions. Because of the concept of Free Will, the individual chooses their actions. 4. The freedom of the press, includes all of the press, both for and against. 5. Modern “press” is innately biased. It doesn’t matter which “side” you identify. 6. People have stopped questioning what they are sold, by way of words written and images shown.
History and it’s narrative has three sides.
1. What we say happened. 2. What they say happened. 3. What really happened.
The reason is bias. The phrase ‘History is written by the victors’ is a truism. One that you can see if you look closely.
‘Judge a man by his questions, not his answers’ is another quote from Voltaire. He believed in freedom quite passionately. As did the founders of the United States. Though it would be difficult to find unity today.
As far as my experience, I have been threatened, assaulted, stalked, all for voicing my opinion. I have been slandered (verbal) and libeled (written), lied to, lied about
