We may talk a lot about free speech, but there is a reason for that.
Hillary Clinton Says the Truth
Hillary Clinton promoted the left’s line of thinking the other day while being interviewed by Rachel Maddow.
On September 16th, X poster End Wokeness posted a short clip of Hillary Clinton’s interview, and the video is making the rounds as it raises eyebrows.
In it, Hillary Clinton said plenty of things that would rile a range of people, from crazy deplorable right-wingers to extremist thinkers who believe in the First Amendment.
She stated, “I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda, and whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged, is something that would be a better deterrent…”
The irony is rich with this one.
Hillary Clinton and Propaganda
Hillary Clinton has crafted a career out of shoving propaganda down the throats of unsuspecting Americans for years. After Clinton defended her husband by slandering his accusers, she continued to craft narratives that were advantageous to what she needed for the moment.
The climax of her propaganda resulted in the Steele Dossier and the flow of “Russia, Russia, Russia,” LIES and DISINFORMATION that spread regarding President Trump. Her fingerprints were all over the entire operation and they almost got away with it.
Mind you, she understands the most important facet of propaganda: get to the people first.
We as people tend to form a natural confirmation bias when we hear new information. The first information we hear leaves the most impact. From there, a propagandist just needs to reiterate it and establish it in the minds of the public and they will have a willing group following their every statement.
While people may wake up, the masses will continue to believe the lie from the establishment especially if it is sounded like a trumpet from the rooftops of the corporate media buildings.
We do this when we casually read a headline or two and go about our day. The propaganda gets posted on the front page and everybody runs with it. If a correction or detraction is ever printed, they typically print it in a tiny little spot out of the way of the common reader.
And while Hillary Clinton and the Democrat party have promoted plenty of whoppers when it comes to propaganda, they have absolute disdain for anything that might challenge those lies.
The Danger of Hillary Clinton’s Quote
For those in the know, Clinton’s quote doesn’t tell us anything we didn’t already understand. She will stop at nothing to gather power and crush her opposition. We watched it with Trump, and we saw fits of her unbridled hatred for those who support the man.
What fascinates me is that she has completely taken off any cloak of “goodwill” and has leaned into the message of “crush the enemy.” The sad part is that something like this has been the Democrat’s method for a while. Since the Biden administration began, we’ve witnessed information come out of how passionate the Democrats are to control speech...something they used to defend with vigor against an authoritarian evangelical right-wing.
We’ve had truth-teller journalists like Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger, Glenn Greenwald, and more get slammed and slandered for reporting on government authoritarianism. They’ve shown us the lengths the government went to when attempting to control the Covid narrative. People were banned and their careers were threatened merely for speaking out against the official narrative.
Emails between people like Dr. Fauci and his cohort explicitly stated that dissenters to the main narrative needed to be crushed and made to look like quacks.
The major revelation of Clinton’s statement is not that we’re suddenly finding out she’s a tyrant. We all have known that forever. Neither is it that we have finally been blessed to see her true motivations. It’s old hat by this point.
No, the revelation in this statement is that the Democrats and their regime have announced that they are doubling down on policing speech and thought.
This is Only the Next Step
They’re no longer hiding the truth or attempting to whitewash over the direction of their crackdown. No, this is just the opening salvo. It’s the mission statement. The treatment of people, especially those who support Trump, will only get worse as the Democrats retain and entrench their power grip over the legal structure of the nation.
A few years ago, we covered the attempted creation of a Disinformation Governance Board. Of course, the explanation was that they wanted to counteract disinformation from foreign actors. Because Russia bad. America good.
Yet, a furor arose when the news was made public. The government got slammed by people from all walks of life. They knew the department would neither A) Stick to purely foreign influence nor B) Control themselves when it came to the American public. However, they attempted to hide behind good intentions and gave lip service to protect the rights of the American people.
We as the American body have put up with quite the abuse from our government, but it was always under the auspices of protecting our rights. In truth, we’ve been sold out by the ones who continued to proclaim America as a free nation founded on the concept of liberty.
But in actuality, they shoved massive legal frameworks the Patriot Act down our throats. Now, we get the joy of being interrogated and physically molested before we fly across state lines. Heck, even if you’re not traveling across state lines, you’ll be given the third degree.
Hillary Clinton and the Democrat’s Intentions
So, when Hillary Clinton comes out proclaiming that we may need to civilly or criminally punish people who speak disinformation, we know the truth. She’s merely setting the stage for the bigger push. Their tyranny no longer requires special cases or foreign interference. Now, it’s merely the government defining your words for you and whether you should be punished for their own interpretation of your words.
The vague nature of the words disinformation and misinformation have provided plenty of space for people like Hillary Clinton to freely move. Typically, a tyrannical government will give you just enough words to give them freedom to do what they want, while using those words to restrict you and your rights.
Since disinformation is so poorly defined, it becomes a proper weapon against anybody for anything. They merely have to use what you said against you, and you become the one with the onus of proof.
For instance, what would stop Hillary Clinton and the Democrats from determining that anybody who says “Trump is not a Nazi” is in fact spreading disinformation? How would you defend yourself? Could you?
You may think that you could take up a line of defense in presenting what a Nazi really is, and how Trump does not align with those credentials. But it doesn’t matter. Kangaroo courts are a physical presentation of propaganda.
A while ago, we talked about the use of kangaroo courts, and Hillary Clinton is shaping the narrative to open up a whole new franchise of these courts. In Soviet Russia, courts had the verdict printed out before the defendant ever took the stand. The show of the trial merely gave the government the justification it needed to determine that your criticism of Stalin’s hair meant you were against the state and must be punished.
We’re not far off.
Clinton proved her belief in the righteousness of the state and the wickedness of the dissenter. She voiced out loud that to the Democrats, certain speech should be punished. This means that your speech could be criminal. While no laws are in the books that speak to disinformation, they have now thrown down the gauntlet and declared that certain speech will in fact soon be criminal.
We tend to point to the First Amendment and yell loudly, “But this says, ‘Freedom of speech’,” yet we are bewildered they don’t hear us. So, we yell louder. The issue is, that they hear us very clearly. The problem is they put no stock or value in the meaning of the words.
It’s similar to a Muslim who approaches a Christian and says, “You must pray 5 times a day. You have to do it, or you will not enter Heaven!”
The Christian would rightfully respond, “I don’t believe in your law. I don’t agree with it. I’m not going to determine my conduct by your law.”
Hillary Clinton and the Democrats do not believe in your constitution. They do not rely on the fundamental values of the framework. They look at your freedom of speech and say, “Go ahead. Live by that. It frees me up to continue to influence levers of power so that I can one day control your speech. Then, you can yell, ‘Free speech!’ at me all you want, as I throw you in prison for saying something I don’t agree with or might harm my attempts at power.”
They’re letting you try to cover yourself with the paper of the Constitution, but it will not protect you in the long run. Just like the value of money, its worth is found when we as a people come into an agreement that the value is what we say it is. If people reject the value of the Constitution, then they will not self-govern with its words.
Hillary Clinton and the People in Power
Those people in power? They don’t respect or value your rights. They see your cries for your rights as merely a speedbump on their highway to tyranny.
The people have recourse, but they must gather the courage to pursue their protection. It involves going on the legal offensive. It involves making public and clear the aims and intentions of the government. It means supporting people who put in the time and research to bring these things to light. It means going under the microscope of a massive government named Leviathan and standing in the gap. It means sacrificing safety and comfort. It means taking on major risks. It most likely means some form of destruction of your finances, family, or freedoms.
It’s a tough pill for the American public to swallow. We tend to think the system will defend our rights for us. The problem is the system has become a threat. Until we catch up, we will believe in passive recognition.
We say to ourselves, “As long as I see there’s a problem, things will get solved.”
It doesn’t work like that. Plenty of people in the Soviet Union saw the problems. Few had the courage to stand against the machine. They were crushed precisely because so many people attempted a passive, quiet recognition of the truth. It didn’t take long for that quiet recognition to mean that even jokes could land a person in the gulags for 20 years.
I’m telling you if you do not speak out vociferously about the state of things, the stakes of saying it will rise dramatically. Hillary Clinton is not just blustering and talking wildly. She is speaking the heart’s position of her and her ilk – the government establishment.
Remember, they’re in this to protect their power. When you see it that way, it all makes sense.
