The Rutherford Institute :: The Government’s War on Free Speech: Protest Laws Undermine the First Amendment | By John W. Whitehead & Nisha Whitehead |

By John W. Whitehead & Nisha Whitehead
March 09, 2021

Yet the unspoken freedom enshrined in the First Amendment is the right to think freely and openly debate issues without being muzzled or treated like a criminal.

In other words, if we no longer have the right to voice concerns about COVID-19 mandates, if we no longer have the right to tell a Census Worker to get off our property, if we no longer have the right to tell a police officer to get a search warrant before they dare to walk through our door, if we no longer have the right to stand in front of the Supreme Court wearing a protest sign or approach an elected representative to share our views, if we no longer have the right to protest unjust laws or government policies by voicing our opinions in public or on social media or before a legislative body—no matter how politically incorrect or socially unacceptable those views might be—then we do not have free speech.

What we have instead is regulated, controlled speech, and that’s what those who founded America called tyranny.

On paper, we may be technically free.

In reality, however, we are only as free as a government official may allow.

"Don't Go Down The Rabbit Hole!" — Dismantling The NY Times' Pathetic Propaganda

Gavin Nascimento
March 7, 2021

In short, the New York Times and their “expert” are telling us that instead of investigating the claims of someone that challenges the status quo and our understanding and perception of reality, we should instead avoid them and go directly to the authorities to tell us what to think.

There is an expression that “rejecting something you know nothing about is the highest form of ignorance,” and that’s basically what the New York Times and their “digital literacy expert” are encouraging their followers to do. “Resist the lure of Rabbit Holes” and go to Google, where in just “15 seconds”, you can get the Truth from Wikipedia — It’s genuinely shocking to read this.
...

Frustrated Establishment Media No Longer Has a Monopoly on Information 

Although this New York Time’s article is revolting, it’s also quite insightful as to how desperate some establishment media outlets have become in their efforts to control the narrative, which has grown more and more frivolous with the introduction of the internet where people such as myself can use verifiable evidence to expose how hypocritical and deceptive they are.

Don’t Go Down the Rabbit Hole

Critical thinking, as we’re taught to do it, isn’t helping in the fight against misinformation.

The Rights of the Naturally Immune – AIER

Thomas Harrington 
March 9, 2021

The civil authorities have decided, in effect, that fully indemnified pharmaceutical companies, whose pasts are obscenely littered with fraud, and the calculated creation of crises in order to up revenues on their products (OxyContin anyone?), have the de facto “right” to force me to take an experimental vaccine that, in the very, very best of circumstances, will only match what my apparently well-functioning body has already given me without any side effects.

And this, while straight out telling me that even if I submit to their government-coerced medical experiment I will probably still not get my full constitutional rights back.

Red Auroras Are Back!
Taken by Rayann Elzein on March 10, 2021 @ Utsjoki, Finnish Lapland
Spaceweather.com

12 March 2021

RARE RED AURORAS: It's not easy for Earth's atmosphere to make red auroras. Even longtime Arctic photographers and tour guides rarely see them. Yet, on March 10th, there they were.

Rayann Elzein sends this picture from Utsjoki in the Finnish Lapland. "The red auroras looked pale white to my unaided eye, but a quick exposure with my camera revealed their true color."

What's so tricky about red? The action, if you can call it that, takes place more than 150 km above Earth's surface. At that high altitude, oxygen atoms excited by solar wind slowly spit out red photons. Emphasis on slowly. The radiative lifetime of the transition is 110 seconds--an eternity at the quantum scale. The atoms must remain undisturbed that long to produce their red light.

Perhaps that's why red auroras often appear when conditions are quiet. "The solar wind speed last night was quite low and there was no expectation of a geomagnetic storm," says Elzein. Tonight is expected to be quiet as well. Red auroras, anyone?

At a certain point, even the Gestapo had to stop cancelling people | Sovereign Man

Simon Black

On April 26, 1933, the interior minister for the German state of Prussia issued a decree creating a new secret state police, or Geheime Staats Polizei, abbreviated: Gestapo.

The Gestapo was tasked with stamping out all opposition to Germany’s new Chancellor and the party he brought to power one year earlier.

It operated by collecting tips from ordinary citizens, including even school children. And this network of Gestapo informants changed Germans’ behavior almost overnight.

Even a joke about the ruling party could land you in a Gestapo interrogation room. Talking politics around your children became a dangerous gamble.

According to Erik Larson’s book In the Garden of Beasts, 37% of denunciations “arose not from heartfelt political beliefs, but from private conflicts with the trigger often breathtakingly trivial.”

For example in one case, a grocery store clerk reported a customer who insisted on receiving the wrong change. The customer was accused of tax fraud.

Another man lent a banned book to his friend, and was quickly denounced by his friend’s wife.

The new Chancellor— who encouraged the behavior — was so shocked by the citizens’ eagerness to rat out their neighbors that he remarked, “We are living at present in a sea of denunciations and human meanness.”

That Chancellor, of course, was Adolf Hitler.

The secret police didn’t need wire taps in every home or spies on every street corner. They found an army of willing, eager informants in the general population.

The volume of denunciations was so great, in fact, that the Gestapo actually had to ask people to stop reporting political crimes to them, because they were overwhelmed and found it impossible to process them all.

The Emperor Is Naked and Senile Too by Kurt Schlichter

Likely, at some point, the rest of the elite will decide that the masquerade has gone as far as it can and the ruling caste no longer benefits by pretending Ole Gropey is A-OK. The elite is ruthless when it senses one of its own has outlived his usefulness – remember Emmy-winning American hero Andrew Cuomo? He’s toast, and his girl-grabbing wasn’t even near as gross as Grandpa Badfinger’s antics. Oh, and Cuomo killed a few thousand normal people but hey, he made some liberal women who knowingly hung out with male Democrat politicians uncomfortable and that’s convenient for getting him out of the way, so sayonara, sucker.

We all know Biden’s senile. The people who should have told us do too, but instead of telling us the truth they are lying to us, even though they know we know they are lying to us. Ask yourself what else they are lying about.

Wait, I’ll help you out – the answer is “Everything.”

Previews of Coming Attractions | Kunstler

12 March 2021

How reassured were you by Joe Biden’s speech to the nation Thursday night? The more his managers pretend that he’s in charge of anything, the more unlikely it actually seems. So, they wound him up — Adderall would be my guess, to fortify the attention span — and rolled him out like the mummy of Amenhotep III, and one could just imagine the leaders of this-and-that foreign nation cringing (or cackling) in their seats to see this embodiment of collapsing America go through his spiritless ritual motions.

Mostly what did not fly is the idea that the Covid-19 virus can still be used as a cattle-prod for herding citizens into feedlots of compliance — Americans are buffalos, not steers. They are determined now to take care of business, and the main business of people with any initiative will be to rig up some sort of gainful occupation while the lumbering old systems break down. They will do it despite orders to operate at fifty percent capacity, or close at nine o’clock, or be handcuffed by rinky-dink regulations. They’ll have to get creative to figure out ways around all the official impediments to making a living. This group of the not-yet-undead will resist further attempts to restrict their liberty and to steal the fruits of their own enterprise to pay for other people’s failures or lack of enterprise.

We Are Now Coming to Understand How America Has Become a Conquered and Occupied Nation | The Common Sense Show

Vladimir Lenin once uttered an ominous warning for our time “The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them”. Even Lenin had no idea that a devout follower of his communist doctrines would ever become the President of the United States. He thought the Soviet Union would topple America from the inside. However, it isn’t a Russian communist who is destroying America, but rather it is a domestic communist, a Manchurian candidate and his name is Barak Hussein Obama and he is serving his third term as President as he manipulates the demented BIden. Obama is still tying the noose around the neck of all freedom-loving Americans. 

America has much to be worried about. We are falling under the permanent spell of Obama. America is facing a mandatory vaccine with very dangerous side-effects and an unreported death toll. Our rule of law has been eroded. The election process has been stolen. And now we are facing a new and very real pandemic, it is called the long-term effects of the vaccine.

Today Dr. Seuss, Tomorrow the Bible – The Burning Platform

11 March 2021
Guest Post by Freed Radical

What will churches do during this Bible bashfest? The best will continue to preach out of the Bible, until their 501(c)(3) government licenses are revoked, then they will all migrate to home churches, only to be persecuted by liberal neighbors for having non-socially distanced hate gatherings. The liberal churches will not change one bit, because they already shun the Bible. Do good, be happy, go along to get along. Their cup overfloweth with syncretism.
...
Don’t think they are going to stop at the Bible. Remember, this is a war on you. The Bible is simply a picture of you, and when they have burned all those Bibles the bonfires will have hot coals ready for fresh fuel.

What shall we do? Live free. Get out of their way. They jettison all good just so they can indulge their appetites without guilt. But they cannot ultimately win. Ask Darwin! They are their own punishment even as they live.

John 9:4
We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.
Psalm 36

5 Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, is in the heavens;
Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies.
6 Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God;
Thy judgments are a great deep:
O Jehovah, thou preservest man and beast.
