VERY INTERESTING POST THAT BRINGS TO LIGHT THE PAST , PRESENT, AND FUTURE. 

President Deep State?

 Something's happening here.  Last month Tucker Carlson made the case for the CIA's direct involvement in President Kennedy's assassination.  This month he has made the case for the CIA's direct involvement in President Nixon's forced resignation. 

How Important is Freedom of Speech?

 

How Important is Freedom of Speech?

• Can we have public liberty without Freedom of Speech?
• New York State has passed a law coercing social media companies to act as censors for the state.
• Rumble Canada Inc. and Locals Technology Inc. have filed suit in federal court to defend Free Speech.

In 1722, under the name Silence Dogood, Benjamin Franklin wrote:

Without Freedom of Thought, there can be no such Thing as Wisdom; and no such Thing as publick Liberty, without Freedom of Speech;

Silence Dogood, No. 8, 9 July 1722

Why is freedom of speech so important? As Mr. Franklin stated, there is no such thing as publick liberty without it, but what does that mean? Yes, without freedom of speech, people cannot express themselves, but there’s more. Without freedom of speech, we would never be exposed to contradictory ideas, and we would never grow. The basis of the scientific method is the testing of contradictory ideas. So if freedom of speech is so important, why do people keep trying to shut it down? Take New York State’s “Online Hate Speech Law”. Why is the State of New York attempting to get social media networks to act as government censors for them?

Statue of Paul Revere in the City of Boston

Like Paul Revere, a Massachusetts Republican Sends a Warning

I’ve been a Republican voter in Massachusetts for over forty years.  

I also suffered from another malady - being a lifelong Boston Red Sox fan.  As you can imagine, I was pretty used to ‘my team’ always losing, whether in championships or elections. Then, along came the 2000s. The Curse of the Bambino had been broken at last, and I finally began to see the truth behind blue-state politics: That miracles can happen. 

For many years, I believed the conventional wisdom – that there were just a lot of foolish, uninformed Democrat voters up here. 

A Revolution in the Minds of the People

 

A Revolution in the Minds of the People

"What do We mean by the Revolution?  The War?  That was no part of the Revolution.  It was only an Effect and Consequence of it.  The Revolution was in the Minds of the People, and this was effected, from 1760 to 1775, in the course of fifteen Years before a drop of blood was drawn at Lexington."

Those are the words of John Adams from a letter written to Thomas Jefferson in 1815, nearly forty years after the colonies declared their independence. 

New rules in the House worry Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries

 

New rules in the House worry Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries

Real wages have declined for two years under the direction of Biden and the other Democrat leftists, but now the new minority leader in the House, Hakeem Jeffries, is supposedly concerned about the well-being of Americans because certain House members made headway by compelling McCarthy to bend to their conservative agenda?

Jeffries’s concern is due to people who want America to be “great again” — or in other words, full of freedom and prosperity for all. The headline at Breitbart read: “Minority Ldr Jeffries: House GOP’s ‘Extreme MAGA’ Agenda Will Undermine Well-Being of Americans”.

I would challenge Mr. Jeffries or anyone else who agrees with him to show how the following rule changes or votes negotiated by the “extreme MAGA” Republicans are endangering the welfare of the American citizenry:

 

Will Lenin’s “Useful Idiots” Be Ignorant Forever?

You can’t say that people living in Democratic Inner- City “Plantations” are stupid, but they certainly are ignorant of the facts. One must pity the people that are so thoroughly brainwashed by schools and media to love the Democrats who enslaved them and continue to put them down while blaming others.

The DC District of Corruption

We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false. —William J. Casey, CIA Director 

Every civilization carries the seeds of its own destruction, and the same cycle shows in them all. The Republic is born, flourishes decays into a plutocracy, and are captured by the shoemaker whom the mercenaries and millionaires make into a king. The people invent their oppressors, and the oppressors serve the function for which they are invented. —Mark Twain 

The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant. —Maximilien Robespierre 

It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its government. —Thomas Paine 

I am not a friend of a very energetic government. It is always oppressive. —Thomas Jefferson 1787

 All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. —Frank Herbert 

There are five representatives in the House who consistently vote with the Constitution, Andy Biggs, Thomas Massey, Paul Gosar, Al Rosendale, and Chip Roy.  Those are the five members who have a Freedom Index of 100% every year.  The John Birch Society Freedom Index is a congressional scorecard based on the U.S. Constitution which shows how every member of the House and Senate voted on key issues.

Truth and the Foundations of a Free Republic

Truth and the Foundations of a Free Republic

 The philosophy of relativism claims that all truth is relative and that there is no such thing as absolute truth.  (Of course, if relativism is true, then based on its own principle it can be dismissed as merely “relative truth,” and is therefore meaningless.  If, however, it’s posited as an absolute truth that applies to all things, people, time, and places… then it’s an absolute truth, and gives the lie to the idea that truth is relative!  Yes, parents, such is the “education” you’re paying for your children to receive in the hallowed halls of academia.) 

Adherents to the philosophy of pluralism (which posits that all humans are of equal value) have extrapolated that idea of tolerance into the absurd idea that, like people, all truths are equally valid.

There Certainly Was an Insurrection, But Not by Trump

Beginning Jan. 6, 2021, the government-media deep state cabal sharply pivoted from accusing President Donald Trump of “colluding with the Russians to steal the 2016 presidential election” to “incitement of insurrection,” a charge for which he was impeached a second time and now the farcical January 6 committee is recommending criminal charges.

Britannica defines insurrection as,

An organized and usually violent act of revolt or rebellion against an established government or governing authority of a nation-state or other political entity by a group of its citizens or subjects.

As for Trump’s supposed role, in his January 6 speech, he promoted the First Amendment’s protections of “freedom of speech and assembly” and “the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

2023: Abolish the Standing “Requirement” in Federal Courts

 “When once a Republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil.”  —Thomas Jefferson

Americans, well those of us paying attention to the rot and tyranny in Washington, DC, and our federal judicial system, hear a case is thrown out because some federal judge decides the plaintiff(s) do not have “standing” to bring the case. I see it as an escape for gutless judges who are either too afraid of a particular case or are in the closet partisan puppets.

Cydney Harris wrote it honestly[1]: “What is one reason why standing is an important criterion for the Supreme Court? It allows the Supreme Court to duck hearing politically sensitive cases by ruling that the plaintiff does not have standing.”
