Some Thoughts on Free Speech

Free speech is under attack in America. I feel like I'm living in Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. Where up is down and down is up and thought crime is rapidly becoming a reality. 

Since when is it a crime to speak the truth, if the truth is offensive to someone?

Since when is it a crime to voice the opinion that white lives matter? 

Well, since now, apparently. According to the ADL, "White lives matter" is now classified as hate speech and associated with white supremacy. 

But it's okay to say "black lives matter" and it won't be associated with black supremacy, even if a black power activist who truly hates white people says it. 

That's really strange. It's almost like by censoring "white lives matter" they are communicating the message that "white lives DON'T matter."

So basically white people are bad, everybody else is good. 

What else can't you say? You can't say anything against transgenderism. 

What else? You can't speak out against the Covid-19 vaccine, and if you do, and you work in the medical field, you risk being fired, or losing your license to practice medicine. But if you are just a regular person who doesn't work in the medical field and you know someone who was damaged by the vaccine, or maybe you yourself experienced an adverse side effect from the vaccine, and maybe you're permanently disabled by it, and so you post about your experience on Twitter, and maybe if your post attracts enough attention, you get labeled a kook, a "crazy" anti-vaxer, a "dangerous misinformation super spreader", and the result is you get your account terminated. 

Anything else you can't talk about? Well, I'm sure there's a bunch of other stuff, but the biggest sacred cow of all, the one taboo that you are absolutely not allowed to talk about, to post about publicly, is to say anything critical of the Jewish people, to say anything that could even remotely be considered anti-Semitic. And you don't even have to actually say it yourself, all you have to do is link to a movie, a book, or article with anti-Semitic ideas, without the added disclaimer that it is evil and you don't approve of it, and that's enough to get your account terminated. 

This is what recently happened to musician Kanye West, and NBA basketball player Kyrie Irving. 

1) All Kanye West did was a) he wore a "white lives matter" t-shirt in public and b) he made a negative remark about the Jews dominating the music industry, suggesting that he'd been screwed over one too many times by the Jews. Okay, that's not verbatim, but that's the general idea. Now as a result of those two actions he's losing big time sponsorships, estimated to be around a billion dollars loss of income. He also had his Twitter page suspended, but has since been reinstated. 

2) All Kyri Irving did was share a link on his Twitter page to a movie, that some consider to be anti-Semitic. That's it, and for that "horrible" crime of exercising his freedom of speech, to link to a movie he liked, he's labeled an anti-Semite, even though he says he's definitely not an anti-Semite, because he's Semitic himself, and he's been suspended from playing NBA basketball for the Brooklyn Nets, and fined $500,000, and has to publicly apologize to a bunch of Jewish organizations. I guess he's supposed to get down and kiss the heels of their boots, begging for forgiveness, to show his masters that he will be a good obedient boy from now on, and will never post anything anti-Semitic again, or else it will be the end of his career. 

By the way, the name of the movie is "Hebrews to Negroes: Wake up Black America". It's based on a book. I'm anticipating it will be banned soon, so out of extreme curiosity, and not wanting to miss an opportunity to read a good banned book, I quickly purchased a copy yesterday, and it will be the next book I read. I'll try to do a follow up post once I do. 

I'm not a fan of Kanye West, by any means, I'm not a fan of his music or any of the crazy Kardashian drama, and not really being a basketball fan, I never even heard of the other guy before this, but they should have the freedom, at least when they are off the company clock so to speak, and in their own spare time, to think whatever they want, to wear whatever they want, and to express opinions that others may find offensive whenever they want. And if they don't, that leads us to the next conclusion, that the price they pay for their fame and fortune is to give up their freedom of speech. 

I mean it's not like they committed an actual crime, or incited a riot, or advocated the use of violence against anyone, so what they said should not have warranted the kind of response they got, in my opinion. 

But I guess they didn't get the memo when they got the job, that there are certain things they are not allowed to say even though it is not illegal to say them. Being that they are celebrities, whose bosses are either primarily Jewish, or who are beholden to Jewish financial interests, they crossed a line that they didn't know they weren't allowed to cross. 

Apparently what they didn't know is that all of their fame and fortune comes from wealthy Jews, and they are really nothing more than well paid mascots for the sports and entertainment industry, who are rewarded well for their obedience, and punished harshly for their failure to toe the line, but ultimately by giving up their freedom to say what they really think, without fear of losing everything, they have unwittingly become slaves, and didn't even know it.
