The Elites Are Waging a War on Your Rights

The First Amendment is Their Primary Military Objective

There is an ominous trend growing across our great country. Those who are running for the highest office and some retired from public life are calling for broader censorship of social media to ‘build consensus.’ Some have even called the First Amendment an impediment to govern, though they mean it’s the final boss in their quest to rule. Our natural right to speak and think freely, which is a requirement in becoming an individual, is continually being chipped away at before our eyes. They’ve worked to take our natural rights, the beautiful block of marble endowed upon all of us by our Creator and continually struck a chisel to it in an attempt to create a Statue of Control the likes of Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong would smile upon.

This coordinated effort against free speech, led by self-appointed ministers of truth and ‘misinformation experts’ has partnered with social media sites to remove accounts and deamplify posts at the behest of the federal government. We are lucky that this axis of information control has even been discovered. Thanks to Elon Musk purchasing Twitter and allowing investigative journalists Matt Taibbi of Racket News and Michael Shellenberger of Public among others to look at the communications that occurred across Twitter is the only reason we know of these attacks on our rights.

The journalists behind the Twitter Files discovered many requests to censor opinions on COVID-19 and those who spoke out against the government. A key revelation of the Twitter Files revealed that the FBI met with social media companies in the summer of 2020 to make them aware that any stories tied to the Biden family and Burisma would likely be Russian disinformation. This warning helped lead to the true Hunter Biden laptop story’s broad demotion across social media just weeks before the 2020 election. This whole event was corroborated by Mark Zuckerberg’s recent letter to the Weaponization of Government subcommittee.

The current Democratic Presidential nominee in Kamala Harris seems to support this Censorship-Industrial complex or misunderstand the First Amendment. In 2019, Kamala Harris attacked Donald Trump stating “He has lost his privileges” and called for a coordinated effort to implement “oversight and regulations” for social media platforms. Madam Vice President the First Amendment is a natural right of all people, not a privilege.

Her call was eventually answered when a coordinated effort emerged after the January 6 riot to remove Donald Trump, a sitting US President, from social media in fear he might incite more violence. Recently released transcripts reveal that Donald Trump requested 10,000 troops for that day to ensure the event was safe. His troop request wasn’t met due to the DoD’s concern of the ‘optics of the National Guard standing in a line with the Capitol in the background.’ Of course after the event the National Guard locked down the Capitol for many months with fencing and a large troop presence.

One would think that after censorship impacted a Presidential Election and undermined the office of the President, it would stop. However, the constant chiseling of our First Amendment has continued and recently gotten new artists. They may no longer be in office or running for office, but these card-carrying members of the Establishment appear to have resorted to sledgehammers to finish the job.

At a World Economic Forum presentation, John Kerry, the Secretary of State that proceeded Hillary Clinton, recently said, “Our First Amendment stands as a major block to be able to just, you know, hammer it [disinformation] out of existence.” He claimed that social media sites where Americans live out their right to speak their minds are an impediment on ‘building consensus,’ a major problem for democracies. This man who ran against George W Bush in 2004 who was a fellow attendee at Yale and member of the Skull and Bones secret society then lamented that there is an absence of a much needed ‘truth arbiter.’

Hillary Clinton, who has suddenly become the establishment flag bearer for the war on ‘disinformation’ has said some disconcerting while attacking social media sites and free speech. In a recent interview with Rachel Maddow, while she spent the majority of it bashing Donald Trump, she also called out his supporters ‘Engaged in this [Trump’s] kind of propaganda’ should have the deterrent of being ‘civilly or criminal charged’ to limit their speech.

In another recent interview, she attacked the platforms themselves calling for the removal of section 230, the only protection given to online platforms from being liable of the content users posts, citing child porn and threats of violence as her reasoning. I find this mind boggling as all social media platforms today already effectively remove these illegal posts.

In her call for platforms to monitor and moderate more aggressively, she raised the absolutely chilling concern that if the platforms don’t conduct this censorship “We lose total control.” Who is she talking about when she says we? Is she admitting that there is a ‘deep state’ or a ruling class of elites? Though one cannot be certain who this ‘We’ is, I see it as a clear call to action for freedom loving Americans to continue to exercise and defend our right to speak our minds and hold our beliefs. It’s become obvious that our democratic republic is at a crossroads in the battle for free speech and free expression. We mustn’t let them chisel away at our beautiful block of marble anymore.
