Silence is Golden

Until it isn't

Is it just me who thinks we should be hearing a cacophony of noise from our elected “leaders” concerning the new Truth Ministry? You know, the one they have titled “The Disinformation Governance Board.” The one that, if allowed to exist, would totally gut the 1st Amendment? Yeah, that’s the one.

All I hear are a few whimpers and lame protests by all the usual suspects. (I’m not dissing them, at least they are saying something.) I have heard nothing but crickets from the “leaders” of political parties.

It’s the worst attack ever mounted on the most fundamental right enumerated in the US Constitution since John Adams tried it as the second President.

If we lose the right to free speech, we lose everything. The canary has croaked.

If you are one of those who constantly defends the 2nd Amendment, how well will that work if you cannot talk about it? Silencers belong on guns, not people who own them.

As bad as it is when the government and the social media companies conspire (yes, it’s a conspiracy) to silence you on privately owned chatrooms, it’s worse when guys with guns tell you to shut up or else. The Mafia was pretty good at shutting people up but even that didn’t last. The similarities between the Mafia and the DHS are unmistakable. To me, anyway.

If you are a Democrat I would ask you this question: What happens when someone you hate gets control of the truth ministry? Better think about that soon before it’s too late.

I’ll have more to say about this shortly. But for now, I urge you to start calling your representative, whether a Republican or a Democrat, and telling them that this is a line they must never allow themselves to cross. Tell them what you think, while you still can.

And if you’ve ever been tempted to share one of my posts this would be a good one to start with. We let them take away most of our rights during the hysteria with barely a peep. Better do more than peep, or even a squawk, on this one. Everything depends on it.
