“To whom do you award the right to decide which speech is harmful, or who is the harmful speaker? Or to determine in advance what are the harmful consequences going to be that we know enough about in advance to prevent? To whom would you give this job? To whom are you going to award the task of being the censor?… To whom you would delegate the task of deciding for you what you could read? To whom you would give the job of deciding for you – relieve you of the responsibility of hearing what you might have to hear? Do you know anyone? Hands up. Do you know anyone to whom you’d give this job? Does anyone have a nominee?” (Christopher Hitchens, 2006)
At what point do I get banned online? At what point might you get banned?
The liberal media claims the right (as private companies) to ban conservative views on Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and other sites… while the Mainstream Media networks like CNN and the New York Times spew Fake News and hatred of white people…. They support their own liberal, Marxist ideals – including the spread of Islam – which will destroy everything liberals stand for if allowed to…

“Whole generations are being raised to think of censorship as a pleasant solution to speech they don’t like, people they don’t like, ideas they don’t like….
Several generations know NOTHING about the 1st Amendment or corporate monopoly of the news. All they know is: “shut bad people up.”
You could run the following Noam Chomsky quote by such people and see what reaction you get: “If you’re really in favor of free speech, then you’re in favor of freedom of speech for precisely for views you despise. Otherwise, you’re not in favor of free speech.”
The reaction you’d get? Some form of non-comprehension. In the case of the massive social-media banning of Alex Jones that occurred yesterday, these know-nothings would say: “Good. I’m glad he’s censored.”
But if social media giants can ban Jones, they can move right along to another target. They can decide that anyone who speaks out against vaccination is a danger to the community and must be silenced. They can decide anyone who defends Russia for any reason is by implication a Trump supporter, and a menace, and should have his social media presence diminished; perhaps covertly.
Many strange things can be implemented on the basis of “protecting the herd.”
The animals in the herd have a boss and if they obey the boss all goes well. The boss knows what language they should be exposed to, and what language they shouldn’t encounter. The boss understands the herd’s needs.
The Washington Examiner: “Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., is calling on other tech companies to ban more sites like InfoWars, and says the survival of American democracy depends on it.”
“’Infowars is the tip of a giant iceberg of hate and lies that uses sites like Facebook and YouTube to tear our nation apart. These companies must do more than take down one website. The survival of our democracy depends on it’,” Murphy tweeted Monday.”
No, the the survival of our democracy depends on the removal of Leftist morons like Chris Murphy from office.
I’m reminded (by Jon Rappoport) of a line from 1953 in regard to destroying any thoughts someone doesn’t feel comfortable with: “Colored people don’t like Little Black Sambo. Burn it. White people don’t feel good about Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Burn it.” (Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451 (1953).
Where are the specific violations Jones is charged with?
Where is the bill of particulars against him?
Where is the “hate speech” he is accused of spewing to his audience?
What definition (if any) of hate speech is being used as a measuring stick?
Asking those questions, you come up very short on answers.
Jones is being made into a SYMBOL of a hater by social media and the mainstream press—and when THAT is the objective, the whole idea is to avoid specifics and just smear the target with a very broad and general brush.
“Hate speech” is replacing the 1st Amendment as a standard of judgment. The question now is: did you express hate toward someone? Rather than: did you commit slander or libel?
Did you utter something that could offend and might disturb a victim or victim-group? Yes? YOU’RE BANNED. CENSORED. Of course, social media giants decide what constitutes hate and who is designated a victim-group with “protected status.”
The term “hate speech” is very elastic. Its definition can be changed on a moment’s notice.
Don’t like someone?
Upset at their actual ideas?
Disturbed at their success?
Embroil them in charges of being a hater and expressing hatred toward victims. Ban and censor them from online platforms based on that accusation.”
I view Marxism Communism Socialism and Liberalism as DISEASES and the products of weak and evil minds. I believe they destroy nations – show me one example where they haven’t destroyed their host nation! But to their followers on the LEFT, conservative views considered too far RIGHT are the disease to be eliminated in favor of LEFTIST progress. As they see it. We must not allow it to continue.
