Bottom-line up-front: The anti-censorship Tweet released August 24th by President Trump will be a defining message going forward. Because people really do have to figure out what is real, and what is not, without censorship! It’s a sad day when control over how the swamp is managed, and purged, descends into totalitarian censorship efforts. You have a mind and you have common sense. Use them both. Because if you fail to stand up for freedom of speech now. You are limiting yourself, your children and future generations from what they will be willing and able to stand up for – going forward.
Many of the critical issues that impact our lives are inextricably linked to politics. The topic of digital censorship is one I have been addressing periodically since the 2016 presidential election and more frequently in recent months. Primarily because your freedom of speech underpins and supports all your other freedoms in the USA. When that freedom is eroded in any manner, the stage is set for all your other freedoms to to be constricted at an accelerated pace.
Censorship is Constricting Your Freedoms at An Accelerated Pace
I am an absolute supporter, without compromise, of your freedom of speech. Dangerous precedents are being experimented with from the likes of Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Apple, and the remainder of big tech players. Which is why I am extremely pleased with President Trump’s August 24th tweet on this very subject which states:
Social Media Giants are silencing millions of people. Can’t do this even if it means we must continue to hear Fake News like CNN, whose ratings have suffered gravely. People have to figure out what is real, and what is not, without censorship!
Censorship Escalates Physical, Financial and Societal Bondage
I couldn’t agree more. Censorship is the line in the sand that separates freedom from bondage. Censorship is an assault on your mind that, if accepted, rapidly leads to its own form of mental bondage and self-censorship. This, in turn, facilitates and escalates varying degrees of physical, financial and societal bondage.
You can look at it from any angle and it’s still a downward slope to a subterranean mausoleum where freedom goes to die. I don’t know about you, but my freedom – that our forefathers and veterans fought and suffered and died for, isn’t negotiable. Your freedom, especially your freedom to speak, shouldn’t be negotiable either. Not to anyone or any party. For any reason whatsoever.
Totalitarian Censorship Efforts
Bottom-line: The anti-censorship Tweet released August 24th by President Trump will be a defining message going forward. Because people really do have to figure out what is real, and what is not, without censorship! It’s a sad day when control over how the swamp is managed, and purged, descends into totalitarian censorship efforts. You have a mind and you have common sense. Use them both.
