The Antisemitism Awareness Act Is the Death Knell for Free Speech

Mike Whitney •ï¿½November 21, 2024

•ï¿½2,300 Words •ï¿½218 Comments • Reply

The Antisemitism Awareness Act is a wrecking ball designed to pulverize the First Amendment. While the alleged intention of the bill is to make Jewish students feel safer on campus, the real purpose is to put an end to the anti-genocide demonstrations that have broken out across the country and to prevent the criticism of...

Matt Gaetz is talking like heâ€™s ready for a revolution. If the Supreme Court is going to throw out the First Amendment and say that the government has a right to tell private companies what they are allowed to publish, how are you going to do mental gymnastics to the point where you can claim...

Your boss can't fire you because of the color of your skin. He can't get rid of you because he doesn't like your religion. Federal law protects you against employment discrimination based on your sex, race, pregnancy status, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, genetic information or (if you are over 40) age. Should... Read More

MSNBC Legal Analyst Says First Amendment Makes America Vulnerable, Calls for Censorship

•ï¿½700 Words •ï¿½28 Comments • Reply

There are all of these different explanations for censorship. When this first started, with me, in 2017, they said that saying mean things on the internet would cause people to kill themselves. Seriously, that was the argument. You can look it up. Then you got the â€œelection meddlingâ€ and â€œCovid disinformation.â€ We always hear about... Read More

The first week in December of this year was all about Americaâ€™s apparent inextinguishable love for the state of Israel. After a short pause to exchange hostages for prisoners, the Israelis re-launched their drive to exterminate the Gazans and steal what remains of their land and property. President Joe Biden, ably assisted by his ever-present... Read More

Some libertarians dismiss concerns over social media companiesâ€™ suppression of news and opinions that contradict select agendas by pointing out that these platforms are private companies, not part of the government. There are two problems with this argument. First, there is nothing unlibertarian about criticizing private businesses or using peaceful and voluntary means, such as... Read More

Last Tuesday there took place a disgraceful display of visceral malignancy in the United States House of Representatives Chamber in the south wing of the Capitol building. The House, long characterized by its aversion to truth, justice and what was once the American way, has been corrupted by special interests who have effectively bought an... Read More

The recent sparring between Elon Musk and the despicable Jonathan Greenblatt of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has cast considerable light on the successful attempts by Jewish groups to dominate Americaâ€™s foreign as well as some domestic policies, in part by taking away the First Amendment right to Freedom of Speech so their behavior cannot be...

This bill is intended to go into effect on January 1. You can read the full text here. There seems to be a lot of confusion about what that text says. I just read it, and I am confused. As far as Iâ€™m able to tell, the only thing the bill actually says is that... Read More

When one travels nearly anywhere in Europe where Medieval government centers, including courts, remain, one will frequently see the personification of a sometimes blindfolded woman representing Justice holding a sword in one hand and a scale or a scroll in the other.

Will Censorship Prevail Over the First Amendment?

Paul Craig Roberts •ï¿½February 18, 2020

•ï¿½500 Words •ï¿½39 Comments • Reply

I remember when censorship in America was a limited phenomenon. It applied during war timeâ€”â€œloose lips sink ships.â€ It applied to pornography. It applied to curse words on the public airwaves and in movies. It applied to violence in movies. There could be violence, but not the level that has become common. Today censorship is... Read More

No group in the United States has labored so hard as the friends of Israel to destroy the First Amendment to the Constitution, which commits the government to prohibit any â€œabridging the freedom of speechâ€¦or the right of the people peaceably to assemble.â€ Ironically, of course, Congressmen and government officials who have taken an oath...
