When it comes to fundamental rights like freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of association, we are living through the darkest period in American history.
In more than two centuries of free government, no administration has attempted to silence, imprison or kill its main political opponents as much as the current one. Professionally ruined and criminally charged The government should be called out for standing up for honest elections and the rights of political defendants. Never before has an administration worked with major tech companies to prevent ordinary Americans from expressing and sharing their concerns and frustrations about the failure or corruption of their highest officials, no matter how evidence-based. Never before has our nation’s leading universities teamed up with the bureaucracy, secret police, and intelligence agencies to combat widespread, well-founded dissent.
Fellow political criminals, indicted and unindicted, cheer up!
We are all aware of these threats, but we must also remember the successes in identifying and confronting them. X (formerly Twitter), with the generous support of Elon Musk, has been freed from the censorship-industrial complex and is once again providing a fair and open forum for political debate that is often informative, if sometimes rude. Murthy v. Missouri (better known as Missouri vs. Biden), a legal challenge to the core of the administration’s censorship partnership with Big Tech has made its way all the way to the Supreme Court after victories in lower courts. supreme court (Unfortunately, after Avoiding the issue on jurisdictional grounds).
Alex Berenson, a COVID dissenter who played a key role in transforming Twitter, Moving forward in court The protest was directed at Biden administration officials who ordered the company to censor. The Stanford Internet Observatory, a major Silicon Valley university that fights against free speech, closed And it seemed like a waste of personnel and resources.
The growing and widespread awareness of the scale, dishonesty, and brazenness of this censorship is itself an important sign. The enemies of freedom have been exposed; their names and institutions are becoming increasingly public knowledge. And now that they have been exposed, they can be challenged in the courts, the press, social media, and the voting booth. Similarly, we should find new hope in the fact that so many Americans, including many of Trump’s prominent critics, have rallied to his side despite the unjust legal battles being waged against him.
So, fellow indicted political criminals, and fellow unindicted political criminals, take heart! “This is not the end. It’s not even the beginning of the end. But this is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” From the wealthy and powerful to the modest and ordinary, Americans are waking up to the destruction of freedom that the Biden Administration and its Deep State and Big Tech allies have brought about. And it’s time to wake up.
We who recognized these dangers early must continue to sound the alarm and strengthen our rallying. The bastions of censorship still stand under the false banner of the “war on misinformation,” but as you see every hour on X, we are taking the fight for the restoration of freedom to enemy lands, and the friends of freedom are finding new allies from all political camps.
This Fourth of July, let us draw renewed strength not only from our forefathers’ struggle for independence, but also from their subsequent struggles against the forces of darkness and enslavement. This time next year, if we have all done our duty, we will be toasting amid the ruins of the bastions of censorship that we have overthrown.
