DEATH OF FREE SPEECH IS DEATH TO AMERICA AS THE WORLD'S "LAST BEST HOPE"
Vol. II | Issue. 139 | January 9, 2023
“China is certainly a very attractive model for quite a number of countries…”
-World Economic Forum Chair Klaus Schwab
Conservatives and Republicans (sometimes their interests intersect) spend most of their time and energy giving lip service to checkbook issues. However, while those issues are fundamentally important and necessary, they are not sufficient requirements for maintaining America as the World’s "last best hope of earth” as Lincoln envisioned it.
Klaus Schwab, the founder of the 1971 European Management Forum organization that has evolved into the DAVOS World Economic Forum, now enthusiastically and sycophantically touts China as a “Role Model” for many Nations. It’s fascinating that among those who are agreeing with Schwab, the progeny of a sanitized Nazi father, are professing and recognizing him as a “visionary” seeking to remake the world by embracing the World’s Most Intolerant Dictatorship; where any form of speech against the government is punishable by harsh prison sentences and death.
Oh well, I suppose every "visionary” has their price…
There is no nation in the world to whom freedom of speech is memorialized and historically worshipped other than The United States of America. Even when Americans couldn’t agree on anything else, Freedom of Speech and the First Amendment have been part of the rarefied American air that we have joyously inhaled since the founding days of our Republic.
That is until now…
In 1798, Congress passed the Alien and Sedition Acts, which was effectively the remedy that the Federalists had in mind to prevent criticism of their government by restricting immigration policy and those affiliated with anti-Federalist policies which went beyond the manifest purpose of addressing immigration issues. That piece of legislation was rarely used or enforced and has become essentially a ludicrous and shameful footnote in American history.
In 1951, the case of Feiner v. New York became effectively the standard of scrutiny regarding Free Speech. The case highlighted in an epigram something very simple: "YOU CAN’T YELL FIRE IN A THEATRE”. That simple phrase provided the cornerstone analysis regarding the limitations of Free Speech and could be easily understood and respected by all sane people. In other words, your speech is not protected and could cause imminent harm or death to people. Absent that most or all speech has been deemed protected under the first amendment.
Having their origins in the privileged Groves of American Academia, "Speech Codes" were authored and introduced by the Leftist Academic Fascists to ensure that their ideas were promoted and protected while Conservative speech and ideas effectively could not be introduced into the American Classroom. By and through that hideous mechanism, Colleges and Universities penalized and effectively prevented traditional and conservative ideas from being voiced in the American classroom.
Since then, it has been safe for mush-brained American Humanities Majors to scream "Death to America" but not “Viva Regan! Viva Bush! or Viva Trump!”. Speech Codes, with their intended mission creep, expanded to any speech that might extend to hurt the feelings of the college victimology team members (i.e. the college identity politics majors, feminists, gays, and those on the varsity race card team, etc.) After two generations of full-blown angry identity politics majors being belched out and into American Society, the speech code disease has metastasized throughout the land and the results are now in.
America has now effectively and voluntarily given up that which made this country exceptional at its founding… That is the Right to Freedom of Speech.
Nauseatingly, this was not done by the government through legislation, but by a conformist culture looking to silence those factions of society who have differing views. The Right to Free Speech has been given up voluntarily by and through these ugly mechanisms of academic fascism.
While these tactics were initially invented and enforced by our colleges and universities, the Klaus Schwab / Davos crowd, along with many other critical institutions both foreign and domestic, see it as an opportunity to set the agenda for a "New World Order” to be dominated by roughly 2500 "elites" and governed like China’s “attractive model”… and woe to the people and the nations who criticize them.
Wake up and understand that the Death of Free Speech will be the Death of America as the World’s “Last Best Hope of Earth”.
We aren’t there yet, but we are well on our way…
