We hear a lot of this stuff these days….it seems that everyone is ranting about the loss of of our right to freely speak our minds.
The TikTok thing is said to be a loss of free speech and so……
Take for instance this AntiSemitism Awareness Act that will come up for a vote soon.
Totalitarianism rarely shows its true face when it arises. Instead, it often pretends to stand for good and decent values. A new bill claims to fight anti-Semitism, something all decent people oppose.
But anti-Semitism — that is, bias and discrimination against Jews because of their religion or ethnic identity — is already barred under civil rights law. The real goal of the so-called “Antisemitism Awareness Act” is to suppress free speech.
This dangerous bill was passed by the House of Representatives and now awaits a Senate vote. It outsources some of our constitutional rights to an outside organization, the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, whose arbitrary definition of anti-Semitism poses a threat to civil liberties.
It could be used to crush legitimate debate about Israel, its policies and American policies toward it — policies that have given rise to one of the greatest acts of genocide since the Holocaust.
This bill could suppress historical research and ban the mention of facts that have been verified by international organizations. It could initiate lawsuits, funding cuts and disciplinary action across all American “education programs or activities, and for other purposes.” (Those “other purposes” are not defined.)
Student protesters, professors, writers and even elected officials could face political repression and become legal targets.
The Dangerous ‘Anti-Semitism Awareness’ Act
I bring this up because according to this pack of manure flies I am an anti-Semite….which is total bullshit.
My dislike of the state of Israel has not a damn thing to do with religion….I personally could care less where or what they choose to worship that is their problem not mine. I dislike Israel goes way back to 1967 and the murderous attack on the US naval vessel, the USS Liberty, where they, Israel, was allowed to attack an unarmed ship killing and injuring American sailors without any retaliation.
My nation may have forget this dastardly deed but I have not.
If I criticize the bastards I will be labelled an anti-Semite….I say so be it I refuse to give up my right to free speech and criticism.
First I was banned from a boycott of Israel and now I cannot criticize the state of Israel and their barbaric ways….this from a government that is in the deep pockets of AIPAC.
Apparently with enough ‘grease’ you can get anything you want from our corrupt officials…..like Congress and the White house.
You may be silent but I shall not and will never until I am dead.
