If nothing else, Joe Biden’s inauguration was entirely fitting his ascension to the presidency: Washington forcibly emptied of citizens, barricades, razor wire and armoured vehicles in the streets, thousands of troops carefully vetted for political loyalty, and the usual crowds of people supplanted by a sea of flags almost certainly made in a Chinese factory. Even the few human participants looked like supervillains from a knock-off Marvel movie.
All in all, it was just what you’d expect from a banana republic dictatorship, not the supposed global beacon of democracy.
If you’ve ever wondered what it must have been like, in the 1920s and ’30s, to watch the world descend into the “Dark Valley”, you’re living it.
We never thought this day would arrive in America[…]The last thing we had was the freedom to criticize what is happening, even if there was nothing we can do about it. Now they can shout “right-wing terrorism” or “right-wing conspiracy” and say that freedom of speech no longer applies.
The key to understanding leftist opposition to free speech is to understand that they have been indoctrinated to believe that words are literally violence. Inculcated from their kindergarten years with the notion that they are “unique” and “special”. That includes their idiotic opinions. “Words are harmful”, they are told. Simply using the wrong pronouns is akin to murder.
So, when speech is violence, violence is necessarily speech. The left see no difference between hearing a contrary opinion and bashing someone over the head for simply disagreeing with them.
Leftists in this country claim that their violence is speech and our speech is violence. That is why they glorified riots last year that burned down numerous cities, caused thousands of injuries, cost billions of dollars, and elevated their cause as the most urgent grievance in need of redress. At the same time, they are pushing to criminalize not just the violent acts and actors at the Capitol on January 6, but any view or speech or assembly predicated on views that are held by those people.
This is no longer just the fringe view of a motley bunch of pale, flabby Antifa goons. This is rapidly becoming US government policy. The Democrats are outlawing “gendered” terms, like “mother”, “father”, “brother”, “sister”, “aunt” and “uncle”.
Watch carefully how the governmental actors are coming very close to violating the letter of the First Amendment with the force of the “law” behind it. Big tech might have a monopoly on the internet and communications, but government has a monopoly on violence, law, and the ability to restrain our liberty. If we don’t wake up immediately, our speech and freedom to assemble will be not only censored, but criminalized.
They are exploiting the Capitol riot as their Reichstag Fire moment.
Just take stock of what we are seeing out in the open. They are now arresting people all over the country for merely being in the Capitol, even if they didn’t engage in violence, vandalism, or theft[…]Remember, the Justice Department seems to believe this was a planned attack. So the hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters who just came there to express their views had no idea that a few bad actors were planning this. The fact that they are hunting down anyone and everyone should scare us all.
The left have been openly pining for the good old days of the gulag. Now, they’re making sure they’ve got plenty of “rightist subversives” and “counter-revolutionaries” to stock them.
If you watch the language the Left is using about our speech and the actions the Biden administration and the governors are taking, it’s quite evident that Big Tech is not the only thing we have to worry about. If nothing changes, I predict that even if Parler is able to become completely independent in the private market, the government, which has the ultimate monopoly on power, will shut it down.
This is nothing that wasn’t foreseen by the genius of the Founding Fathers.
George Washington already warned us about the motivations of those who clamp down on speech. “For if Men are to be precluded from offering their Sentiments on a matter, which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences, that can invite the consideration of Mankind, reason is of no use to us; the freedom of Speech may be taken away, and, dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep, to the Slaughter,” said Washington in an address to the Continental Army on March 15, 1783.

That’s incitement, that is. Impeach the Father of his Country!
