It is not difficult to see the dangers that lie ahead. Now that the government has fully inserted itself into the news and information industry, the criminalization of free speech is a very real threat.
If Schwab's online army were not execrable enough, advocates for free speech must also gird themselves for the repercussions of Elon Musk's appointment of Linda Yaccarino, reportedly a "Neo-liberal wokeist" with strong WEF affiliations, as the new CEO of Twitter.
In an America now plagued with the stench of official "Snitch lines," censorship of certain presidential candidates, widespread online surveillance, a resurrected "Disinformation governance board," and increasingly frequent criminal prosecutions targeting Americans who exercise their free speech, the question is not whether what we inaudibly think or say in our sleep will someday be used against us, but rather how soon that day will come unless we stop it.
In a seemingly-authoritarian disconnect with the American people, corporate news media continue to ignore the public's majority opinion and instead "Relentlessly advocate" those viewpoints that Americans "Reject." When journalists fail to investigate facts and deliberately distort stories so that they fit snugly within preconceived worldviews, reporters act as propagandists.
WEF Chairman Klaus Schwab has gone so far as to hire hundreds of thousands of "Information warriors" whose mission is to "Control the Internet" by "Policing social media," eliminating dissent, disrupting the public square, and "Covertly seed[ing] support" for the WEF's "Great Reset." If Schwab's online army were not execrable enough, advocates for free speech must also gird themselves for the repercussions of Elon Musk's appointment of Linda Yaccarino, reportedly a "Neo-liberal wokeist" with strong WEF affiliations, as the new CEO of Twitter.
Throughout much of the West free speech has been only weakly protected when those with power find its defense inconvenient or messages a nuisance.
It does not seem particularly astonishing that a German man has been sentenced to three years in prison for engaging in "Pro-Russian" political speech regarding the war in Ukraine.
From an American's perspective, these overseas encroachments against free speech - especially within the borders of closely-allied lands - have seemed sinister yet entirely foreign.
Not a day seems to go by without some new battlefront opening up in the war on free speech and free thought.
At the same time, the Department of Justice has indicted four radical black leftists for having somehow "Weaponized" their free speech rights in support of Russian "Disinformation." So, objective datasets can be deemed "Discriminatory" against minorities, while actual discrimination against minorities' free speech is excused when that speech contradicts official government policy.
Taken all together, it is clear that not only has the war on free speech come to America, but also that it is clobbering Americans in a relentless campaign of "Shock and awe." And why not? In a litigation battle presently being waged over the federal government's extensive censorship programs, the Biden administration has defended its inherent authority to control Americans' thoughts as an instrumental component of "Government infrastructure." What Americans think and believe is openly referred to as part of the nation's "Cognitive infrastructure" - as if the Matrix movies were simply reflecting real life.
