WND reported that the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty has written to the school explain that using "biologically correct pronouns not only does not constitute sexual harassment … it is speech protected by the First Amendment." Joe Biden, however, apparently doesn't want such cases shut down – but wants them expanded to every state, according to a report in The Federalist. "If Biden and his Democrat allies get their way, every public and charter school across the country will, instead of educating kids, be pouring their allotted taxpayer dollars into investigating the ones who don’t subscribe to the left’s orthodoxy on wrong pronouns or who accidentally use a student’s correct pronoun instead of their 'preferred' false pronoun," explained the report, by Kylee Zempel, an assistant editor.

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified to a House panel on Wednesday that the board will be tasked with countering disinformation regarding homeland security, particularly related to Russia and illegal immigration. Politico reported Nina Jankowicz, who previously served as a disinformation fellow at the Wilson Center, a Washington think tank, will head the board as executive director.   TRENDING: The values that built Western civilization are the ones we're discarding   Just before the 2020 election, reported Human Events editor Jack Posobiec, Jankowicz highlighted on Twitter the evidence-free claim by 51 former national security officials that the contents of the Hunter Biden laptop, belatedly verified last month by the New York Times, was a "Russian influence" operation.

He described himself as “pretty close to a First Amendment absolutist” but immediately clarified that it did not apply to social media companies. “The First Amendment is a check on the power of the state. It doesn’t apply to private companies like Facebook and Twitter,” he said, calling for more “value judgements” on content moderation and censorship on social media. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/peace_freedom/civil_rights/free_speech/news.php?q=1639937376 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/peace_freedom/civil_rights/free_speech/news.php?q=1639684717 12-16-32 In Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty-Four”, the totalitarian government made dissent impossible by creating Newspeak, a highly controlled language that suppresses specific ideas. This is happening now. Here are three real-life examples of elite organizations pushing the banning of words from public speech. These days, the word “Orwellian” is being thrown around everywhere because, sadly, it is more relevant than ever.

Story at-a-glance: Propaganda is an organized attempt to get large numbers of people to think or do something — or not think or do something. It’s not like classical rhetoric, which is about persuasion through argument, but rather a means of sub-rational manipulation. For the past two decades, professor Mark Crispin Miller has taught a course on propaganda at New York University, in the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development. In September 2020 after urging his students to look into the scientific rationale for the mask mandates, to assess the truthfulness of the propaganda drive promoting them, he was subject to an administrative “review” for that and other alleged crimes. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/peace_freedom/civil_rights/free_speech/news.php?q=1620222478 5-4-21 We are proud to announce that LifeSiteNews has joined Brighteon.com with a brand-new video channel.

This is how they are getting away with it. Known as the “Security Clearance Improvement Act of 2021,” the bill is a pre-planned response to the Jan. 6, 2021, false flag “insurrection” that took place at the United States Capitol.

At the same time, however, the appeals court overturned Wilders' conviction for inciting hatred or discrimination against Moroccans.   At an election rally in The Hague in March 2014, as leader of the Partij voor de Vrijheid (Party for Freedom), reportedly the country's most popular opposition party today, Wilders asked those present, whether they wanted "more or fewer Moroccans?" After the crowd chanted "fewer, fewer" Wilders said, "We're going to organize that." Wilders was prosecuted and convicted in December 2016 on two counts: First for "deliberately insulting a group of people because of their race."

Even though Berners-Lee insists that his Contract for the Web is about upholding “digital rights,” the tech giants that are onboard with it, including Google and Facebook, are doing the exact opposite by restricting the First Amendment rights of people online, and even calling free speech “disastrous.” How, then, is Big Tech now claiming to support Berners-Lee’s vision of fostering a “healthy conversation online?” The answer is simple: “Digital rights” and “free speech” only apply to certain subjects, topics, and perspectives, while all others are off-limits. As long as you’re in agreement with Google and Facebook about vaccines being “safe and effective,” as one example, then you’re free to post as much “free speech” on their platforms as you’d like. But if you point out the fact that vaccines contain the entire gene sequences of aborted human babies, then you suddenly no longer have any free speech.

According to Fox News: A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that President Trump is not allowed to block people on Twitter over statements he does not like, affirming a lower court’s decision that declared the president’s account a “public forum.” In a Tuesday decision, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals noted that because Trump uses Twitter to communicate with the public about his administration, and his account is open to the public for people to comment on his posts, it warrants constitutional free speech protection under the First Amendment. “We do conclude,” the opinion said, “that the First Amendment does not permit a public official who utilizes a social media account for all manner of official purposes to exclude persons from an otherwise‐open online dialogue because they expressed views with which the official disagrees.” According to court documents, Trump admitted that he blocked the plaintiffs in the case in 2017 after they posted tweets that “criticized him or his policies. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/peace_freedom/civil_rights/free_speech/news.php?q=1562342362 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/peace_freedom/civil_rights/free_speech/news.php?q=1560181055 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/peace_freedom/civil_rights/free_speech/news.php?q=1560177139 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/peace_freedom/civil_rights/free_speech/news.php?q=1559576503 6-1-19 A U.S. Supreme Court ruling has freed police officers in Alaska from civil claims for arresting a man in retaliation for his speech.

Our founding fathers were convinced that the only way to maintain a long-standing, functional, democratic republic was to ensure that America always had a truly free press. They were so convinced, in fact, that they enshrined protection of the press within the First Amendment. But today, outlets like CBS and social media behemoths like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube are run by authoritarian Leftists who believe in shutting down any rival media that rises to challenge their political, cultural, or societal orthodoxies.
