I love the analogy to the dead king and his tyrannical successor. How long before any criticism of the senile imbecile who rules over us is criminalized? The author writes "The king’s open challenge to the free speech tradition was a pivotal moment of truth in Hypothetica. Would the guards and citizens stand up for that tradition or give in to the king?"
We already know the answer to that. The FBI is all in on censorship and oppression. Would our local cops join in or stand with us? If this trend continues it won't be long before the Second Amendment is put to the test. And yes, liberty is worth fighting and dying for.
This is why we need to take it all a step further and use technology to our advantage, the same way the FBI uses it against us. We need to make - as Tim suggest - digital "idea labs" where we have social media platforms that use groups of people together to hold all of these corrupt systems accountable.
It is the way out of this mess. Imagine if we had "idea labs" like this:
That imbecile is nothing more than a ventriloquist dummy who only vocalizes what the hand up his back tells him to say. He has not had an original thought for the last 50 years! In this case he is one of the most dangerous people to hold office!
Another example, Lori Lightfoot advocated for a defunded of the police yet surrounds herself with more police protection than any mayor in the history of Chicago. Why do those cops, who she clearly vilifies, continue to provide her security instead of simply walking away from her detail?!
The DOJ is corrupt and this has been as plain as day since Obama instructed it to investigate Mike Flynn for doing something which was clearly not criminal. But the protection of 2A is totally illusory. Anyone who takes up arms against a totalitarian government mandating a useless, unnecessary and somewhat harmful vaccine would be eliminated in a NYC minute. The only protection against a wretched government is an informed citizenry.
And if they also controlled elections? What if you knew an election was rigged? What would you do? An armed citizenry acting together is not impotent. Why do you think they are so maniacal to confiscate weapons? It's the one thing standing in their way of domination. Right or wrong they fear it more than anything else.
The 2020 Presidential election was clearly rigged. In addition to the fact that 95% of the media maliciously lied about one candidate and failed to tell the truth about the other candidate there were illegal changes to the election laws in Georgia, Pennsylvania and Michigan and a deliberate breach of the election laws in Wisconsin.
These illegal changes facilitated enough fraud to change the result.
And after all legal remedies were denied there was a March on Washington which quickly ended when one protestor was killed by police.
Non-rigged elections require updated voter rolls, current voter photo ID cards, paper ballots and hand counting with all parties represented and participating.
The authorities have no reason to fear your guns. The military and the police will do what they are trained to do. They will follow orders.
I am not saying that people should not have guns for their personal protection, but the notion that you can use them against a corrupt, totalitarian government, which is what you have now, has been proven wrong.
..."but the notion that you can use them against a corrupt, totalitarian government, which is what you have now, has been proven wrong.'
Please provide one example. In fact, the opposite has been proved true. Hungarian freedom fighters armed only with Molotov cocktails routed the occupation army in 1956. Armed guerillas have proven very effective against armies of vastly superior firepower. And that assumes that our army and police would stand unilaterally against free citizens. More to the point, an oppressive military and/or police would have to worry constantly about their own families who would be at risk. Civil wars are decidedly uncivil. Ours was mostly not only because it was a regional war and not a civil war. Except in the border states, which saw episodes of startling brutality. Did you miss the fact that police forces in our cities were routed by rioters armed with rocks during the "summer of love?" This is precisely why corrupts totalitarian governments' first act is to disarm the people. I'm not saying it would be easy. And no sane American would want this to happen. But do not mistake the Left for have sane or decent motives.
I agree that the 2020 election was rigged but not illegally so in most cases. Our press is free to lie and cover up And be shills for a party that no decent American should contemplate voting for.
The king is dead, long live the king! To the freedom loving readers of the Free Press: I have posted an open letter to Substack leadership about defending free speech that is going viral. If it resonates with you, can you amplify? Here's the link to the Substack note that contains the post: https://substack.com/profile/64905469-yuri-bezmenov/note/c-14787883
Leave it to the arrogant, hypocrite to quote an Austin, TX news outlet. Austin used to be called Moscow on the Colorado (the river that runs through Austin.) and the Austin newspaper, Austin American-Statesman, Pravda. Austin is the most PC/Woke city in Texas.
Now to the real question:
Why are you engaging this moron? He's a one note poster.
You are correct. The only time I watch the news there is when I need a laugh. The newscasters are bauble-head parrots. But we call the paper the Austin Unamerican Statesman.
Lol. Yeah....what exactly was "blown up," Bruce?....is this that massive Twitter Files nonsense, that really amounted to nothing? Wasn't there gonna be some big reveal?
It was revealed that your beloved 'government' heroes have - since about 2012 - had control and have censored every bit of online social media; if you have a 'free account' you are being watched.
It is not interested in engaging in any type of thought process. It never has an independent thought or even POV on any article, rather it exists only to comment on the thoughts or POV of others. It is either a paid troll, as others have surmised, or an experimental AI bot. Let it starve.
1. 95%? Where'd you get that? Seems you think all federal employees are...black?
2. Not "beloved" - just don't "hate" them, as it appears you do.
3. Oh, so we moved from "Democrats" to "Federal Employees?"
Musk blew the cover off nothing. Hearings "exposed" nothing. Twitter Files was nonsense.
Since 2012? Well, that includes Trump, too I guess. Yeah, I don't believe a single word Musk says regarding DMs (which is what he talked about). He has a financial interests in people paying for accounts.
I am not going to do your work for you - you can easily find DC election results by party even if you are too afraid of the result. I have been a public employee my whole life and do not hate anything, but our federal government has proven itself evil for a couple centuries now starting with legalized slavery.
Musk took an extraordinary risk by telling the truth and the Twitter files showed you how your beloved government sidesteps your 4th amendment rights by spying on you and censoring you through a 'public-private partnership' they are so proud of. The FBI pays Twitter to do all of this.
It is not a 'big story' because ALL of the media, including large portions of Fox, are in on it.
I would recommend you leave the bubble you are in.
Bari Weiss moved on because she realized how dangerous it was; Matt Taibbi started having 'IRS agents' snooping around him after publishing the evil the government employees were doing.
Of course you missed the interview with Musk on Carlson last night. He explained it all in a way even a second grader could comprehend. Still it might elude you. Twitter was a massive censorship and disinformation operation with close ties to the Democrat Party.
Bruce, here is an example of the moron's Dem Party. You know the party that champions the rights of black people.
This is from an Amazon book review:
"By the 1890s, Wilmington was North Carolina’s largest city and a shining example of a mixed-race community. It was a bustling port city with a burgeoning African American middle class and a Fusionist government of Republicans and Populists that included black aldermen, police officers and magistrates. There were successful black-owned businesses and an African American newspaper, The Record. But across the state—and the South—white supremacist Democrats were working to reverse the advances made by former slaves and their progeny.
In 1898, in response to a speech calling for white men to rise to the defense of Southern womanhood against the supposed threat of black predators, Alexander Manly, the outspoken young Record editor, wrote that some relationships between black men and white women were consensual. His editorial ignited outrage across the South, with calls to lynch Manly.
But North Carolina’s white supremacist Democrats had a different strategy. They were plotting to take back the state legislature in November “by the ballot or bullet or both,” and then use the Manly editorial to trigger a “race riot” to overthrow Wilmington’s multi-racial government. Led by prominent citizens including Josephus Daniels, publisher of the state’s largest newspaper, and former Confederate Colonel Alfred Moore Waddell, white supremacists rolled out a carefully orchestrated campaign that included raucous rallies, race-baiting editorials and newspaper cartoons, and sensational, fabricated news stories.
With intimidation and violence, the Democrats suppressed the black vote and stuffed ballot boxes (or threw them out), to win control of the state legislature on November eighth. Two days later, more than 2,000 heavily armed Red Shirts swarmed through Wilmington, torching the Record office, terrorizing women and children, and shooting at least sixty black men dead in the streets. The rioters forced city officials to resign at gunpoint and replaced them with mob leaders. Prominent blacks—and sympathetic whites—were banished. Hundreds of terrified black families took refuge in surrounding swamps and forests.
This brutal insurrection is a rare instance of a violent overthrow of an elected government in the U.S. It halted gains made by blacks and restored racism as official government policy, cementing white rule for another half century. It was not a “race riot,” as the events of November 1898 came to be known, but rather a racially motivated rebellion launched by white supremacists.
In Wilmington’s Lie, Pulitzer Prize-winner David Zucchino uses contemporary newspaper accounts, diaries, letters and official communications to create a gripping and compelling narrative that weaves together individual stories of hate and fear and brutality. This is a dramatic and definitive account of a remarkable but forgotten chapter of American history."
How come the Woke movement never, while tearing down statutes, mentions the roots of the party of slavery and tried to dismantle the party of slavery?
I hope you read Taibbi's report on Jacob Siegel's TABLET piece about the "soft coup" now underway. The DNC is the poster child for self-interested venality.
From within the circle of the current GOP I see your point. Eventually they will lose enough elections to turn it around. The ballot box will be the final arbiter.
From outside that circle in the broader world the Mustache King is something larger than just one person. Institutions responsible for disseminating information - like legacy media as well as tech giants like Twitter and Facebook, and publishing houses - actively suppress some ideas (Covid lab leak! Hunter’s laptop! Sanitizing “offensive” language in old books, dropping “controversial” authors). This has a much more powerful effect over public discourse that exemplifies having a Mustache King, even if it’s not one individual. So you missed the point of the article if all you can think is Trump.
No he is not. Nobody lost a singe right under Trump. You might find him odious and obnoxious. Many do. But the claim that he was a dictator, or worse, a Nazi, has zero basis in reality.
Do me a favor and try a thought experiment. Imagine what would happen in Berlin, circa 1935, if a bunch of actresses had mused about blowing up the Reich Chancellory or paraded around with a caricatured severed head of the dictator. Now tell me what did happen to the Hollywood harpies who did the same to Trump.
I love the analogy to the dead king and his tyrannical successor. How long before any criticism of the senile imbecile who rules over us is criminalized?

Can’t like this comment enough.
Another example, Lori Lightfoot advocated for a defunded of the police yet surrounds herself with more police protection than any mayor in the history of Chicago. Why do those cops, who she clearly vilifies, continue to provide her security instead of simply walking away from her detail?!
Why don't they walk off?
Job
Paycheck
Pension
They can walk away though. Every department in Texas is recruiting and hiring. I would not recommend Austin though.
I lived in Austin 30 years ago. It was the only blue spot in Texas back then. I cannot imagine it has gotten better.
Spreading like cancer to Hays and Williamson counties, with Bastrop and Caldwell next.
Understood, but following the example set forth in this article, it seems that if enough officers take this position, the "thought pile" will shift.
The DOJ is corrupt and this has been as plain as day since Obama instructed it to investigate Mike Flynn for doing something which was clearly not criminal. But the protection of 2A is totally illusory. Anyone who takes up arms against a totalitarian government mandating a useless, unnecessary and somewhat harmful vaccine would be eliminated in a NYC minute.

Well, Elon bought twitter - and blew the cover off that canard.

Lol. Actually, that's not the "Democratic Party," Bruce.
Intel agencies could see DMs.
Yes, Elon certainly wouldn't want "free accounts" would he? ;)
Try again.
You do understand that 95% of Washington D.C. - all of your beloved federal employees monitoring you - votes democrat, right?
1. 95%? Where'd you get that? Seems you think all federal employees are...black?
2. Not "beloved" - just don't "hate" them, as it appears you do.

Translation: What was said was bullshit.
Twitter Files was nothing. That's why Musk wants to move on, Bari Weiss isn't talking about it anymore, etc.
FBI paid Twitter for processing, etc. of legal information requests.
Lol! Yes...Fox "Dominion Stole the Election" is covering for "liberals" at Twitter. Maybe you consider who's in a bubble.
Bari Weiss moved on because she realized how dangerous it was; Matt Taibbi started having 'IRS agents' snooping around him after publishing the evil the government employees were doing.

Yeah, Elon "says" a lot of stuff. So does Carlson about stolen elections, etc.
So....what exactly was exposed, Bruce?
Seeing how much Trump was openly criticized and hated publicly at all swaths of society means that the Mustache King is not Trump.
From within the circle of the current GOP I see your point. Eventually they will lose enough elections to turn it around. The ballot box will be the final arbiter.
