Free Speech

“Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech." Benjamin Franklin

Free speech as we know it is under a full-scale attack by an elite group of unelected technocrats. Their accomplices include some of the most left-wing members of the United States Congress, who decided to impeach the President for exercising his free speech rights. They are led by a sweet old grandmother, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, plus the usual suspects in the mainstream media. Shocking.

Thanks to the Twerp and his pal Rasputin, (Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO and Jack Dorsey, Twitter CEO) the rush to quiet conservative voices is in full bloom.  Of course, they couldn’t complete their mission without the acquiescence of the Google nerds.  Their respective companies are muzzling users they find unworthy of their forums. Using the assault by the extremist on the Capital last week as their beard, the Democrats continued their not-so-subtle effort to cripple the leading national conservative voice, President Trump, with another impeachment.

Prominent constitutional legal scholars, including Georgetown law professor, Jonathan Turley and Harvard’s Alan Dershowitz, have opined that the evidence given that the President incited an insurrection is insufficient. Those railing that Trump needs to be tarred and feathered, in the media and the Halls of Congress, have not once referenced what he actually said in the January 6th speech to the protestors gathered in front of the White House.

"I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."

This hasn’t stopped the complete obliteration of the President’s access to social media.  He is currently banned from Facebook, his Twitter account is suspended including the official POTUS one, and YouTube has closed his channel.  All these actions are the result of the obvious left-wing agenda that lives in the Silcom Valley. This is what happens to dissidents in Communist China. Why isn’t there a mass protest of this censorship?

What the media is failing to report is that a “snap impeachment” is without precedent and does not follow the rules of the House.  There have been no hearings by the House Judiciary Committee to forward a recommendation to the House for consideration. This is the product of Speaker Pelosi’s continued vendetta and unabated hate of Donald Trump. If there was a basis for this “Clown Show”, does anyone believe that prominent legal scholars would risk their reputations calling it out as lacking sufficient evidence for this procedure?

The hypocrisy is remarkable as Twitter just condemned the nation of Uganda for blocking internet access ahead of its national elections.  Their public policy unit stated the following: “Access to information and freedom of expression, including the public conversation on Twitter, is never more important than during democratic processes, particularly elections.” When will the “Healer-in Chief”, Joe Biden, speak out against this onslaught on free speech?

World leaders have condemned this public censure of President Trump’s social media accounts. The President of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador stated the action was not acceptable. “I don’t like censorship,” he told a news conference. “I don’t like anyone to be censored and for them to have their right taken away to send a message on Twitter or on Facebook.”

German Chancellor Angela Merkel considers it “problematic” that Twitter threw him off its social media platform, saying through a spokesman Monday that the President’s ability to express his opinion is a fundamental right of “elementary significance.” She is keenly aware of her nation’s history with respect to the destruction of free speech. The parallels of suppression in Germany 80 years ago and now, do not go unnoticed.

So with 7 days of the Trump administration left, the Democrats led but the likes of a House Impeachment Manager Eric Swalwell (the guy caught cavorting with a Chinese spy) are engineering an impeachment proceeding that is without merit. An act that further divides an already divided Nation.

There is no doubt the extremist assault by the lunatic fringe actors of the right and the left on the Capitol January 6th was unconscionable. As the investigation unfolds, there is evidence that elements of both were in attendance.  The vast majority of the attendees were not of that ilk. The speech by the President was not the catalyst for the violence as demonstrated by the contents of his speech.  Unreported is that the Capitol assault started before he finished speaking. Not surprising.

If every politician who gave a fiery speech to a group of supporters were driven from office by impeachment, there wouldn’t be a single soul wandering the halls of government in Washington, DC. Free speech is the one of the most important rights that the Republic’s citizens enjoy. 

It is not the right of a Twerp or a Rasputin or a Nerd to arbitrarily deny any American their free speech or access to the public forum.
