On Censorship

If you're reading this, G_d knows how you found me.  I don't show up on any searches.  I'm a politically incorrect, conservative, Trump Republican.  I discontinued this blog for about 2 years, starting in 2018.  While it was discontinued, I was getting about 100 hits a week.  Once I restarted, hits went down to zero and stayed there.
 

The world in general, and the US in particular, has a free speech problem.  The left has decided that it alone is the arbiter of truth.  Any opinions that socialists don't agree with are not only mistaken, they are factually wrong and evil.  Rather than try to argue their points, the left has decided to simply suppress any facts and opinions they don't like.
 

Suppression of free speech, and freedom of the press, is pervasive.  By starting  small, with community standards on social media and slanting news coverage in the media,  the left can now block almost anything, almost anywhere.  True believers can block medical discussion of a pandemic lockdown that caused a large recession.   They can black out a scandal about a major party presidential candidate's son for over 2 weeks before a general election.
 

The motive for suppressing  free speech is mainly political.  The left's arguments are so poor, they need protection from counter arguments.  The left takes for itself a monopoly on "truth" that proclaims dissenters not just possibly mistaken, but willfully evil.  Armed with pseudo religious certainty, the left feels morally justified in rooting out heresy.
 

Even the Wall Street Journal has a "monitoring team" for comments, with no written rules.  I lost about a dozen comments in one evening without warning, no reason ever given.  The censorship was clearly political.  One comment that vanished in 30 seconds was, "As we say in Chicago, what's a little vote fraud among friends?"  That's the entire comment.  The censorship was based on the official position that no vote fraud occurred in 2020.

 

Since I've been openly complaining, the WSJ little red guards have gotten slightly better.

 
If anything deserves resistance, efforts to suppress free speech do.  Please fight this any way you can

Dr. Jill Biden

The Wall Street Journal ran an OpEd on Jill Biden's insistence that she be addressed as "Dr." even though her degree is an Ed. D.  Sarah Parcak, PhD., Professor of Archaeology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, objected in very nasty terms, typically Marxist. 

My comment on this is:

I DEMAND the immediate flipping removal of flipping Prof. Parcak and her flipping Marxist buddies!

After 4 years in college, 4 years in the military, and 2 years in grad school, I can talk like a Marxist academic.

It's typical that Marxists don't want a debate. They just want to silence the opposition.

My demand is non-negotiable, by the way. A few friends and I may occupy the administration building in Birmingham, AL, if my demands are not met.

Earlier on this topic, I mentioned a professor I had in grad school.  He was a famous researcher in Operations Research.  The professor was fond of saying in class, "I mean a real doctor, not a medical doctor."  It was a joke on himself.  The class always laughed. 

Leftists don't have a sense of humor like that. 

Democrats: The Party of Big Brother

 By their actions, Democrats are the Party, in the Orwellian, Big Brother sense. They are rewriting history, with the 1619 project. They are censoring news, like Hunter Biden's laptop, and the fact that all of the vote fraud case losses came on procedural, not evidenciary, grounds. They are stealing elections, then suppressing the Rasmussen poll that showed 47% of likely voters suspect that the election was stolen. Instead of 2 minutes of hate for Emmanuel Goldstein, CNN and MSNBC manage to fill most of a 24 hour day with hate for Trump. Positions Democrats took in 2016, about the legitimacy of the election and #Resistance to "not my president," have gone into the memory hole for 2020.

At 70, I may not remember why I came into the room, but I certainly remember all of the stuff Democrats have been doing to overthrow a duly elected president for the last 4 years. I think insisting on a special counsel to investigate vote fraud is relatively minor in comparison.

Backout Plan

 What makes you think they didn't elect Harris?

Whenever you install new software professionally, you have a backout plan for the case where it doesn't work. If (when?) Biden becomes too big of an embarrassment, the backout plan is that his doctors find he can no longer function as president. Harris takes over. Any criticism of Harris is both racist and sexist. It’s a complete restart, with a new honeymoon period. The media will gush over the first Black woman president for years. Harris can do no wrong. Any wrong she does will be Trump's, or Biden's, fault. QED (Quite Easily Done)
