Victim of War: Free Speech

Donald Trump, like every President since JFK, has become a cloying, groveling slave of Empire. Trump came to be elected by winning the decisive Independent Middle by promising to break that mold. It was embodied most by two promises in particular: reinstitution of Free Speech and ending all war, let alone not starting new ones. See for example,

In one year he has betrayed those promises in a manner more destructive of the moral fabric of this country than any betrayal by any President since Lyndon Baines Johnson. We noted Trump’s departure from “Free Speech and no more wars” on 8 August 25 A New Form of Censorship, his continued fall on 16 Sep 25 Trump Is On A Slippery Slope and covered his apparent descent into war madness on 3 January 26, The Cult of War on Overt Display. While the majority of Independent Middle voices witnessed the same and rang out in loud protest, it was to no avail.

The holy war launched on 28 Feb 26, apparently on behalf of Bibi Netanyahu and historically illiterate “Zionist Christians” – against the strong dissent of 80% of Americans, is a forfeiture of American sovereignty unseen in its 250-year history. The bizarre, Middle School mentality propaganda issuing from the White House since the massacre of 168 Iranian school children on day one of the “war” is strengthening and emboldening America’s alleged competitors (Russia and China and its new league of nations, BRICS – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, et al). The juvenile, even infantile, illogical slop issuing from Trump’s “Truth Social” account and the White House press office is degrading American image and power at a dizzying pace.

If you believe there are high-minded, even the least bit defensible, goals and purposes behind the war, you are not paying attention to its two architects and drivers, Bibi Netanyahu and Donald Trump. The former refers to Iranians and Palestinians whom he vows to eliminate (read genocide) as “animals.” Trump refers to Iranians as ‘genetically’ inferior ‘savages’, whose only chance for survival is to cede the very land and minerals they have lived on for millennia. See for example:

This is Eugenics. That is justifying genocide to purify the race. Clearing the land of “animals” or “genetically” inferior “savages” in order to exploit it is no different to what we did the Native Americans in the nineteenth Century. A cursory review of history will show the precise same justifications issuing from the genocide purveyors then that you are being repeated by Israel and the White House now. And much of the media is playing ball with it.

Wait, the media? Wasn’t it all owned by the Left and used to demonize Trump 24-7 only a year ago? Yes. But, look what has happened since. Trump himself just this morning blasted out the following piece glorifying his “reshaping” of the media.

Trump celebrates himself for using the levers of government power to take out 7 anti-Trump media figures by name, and bring virtually all major US media players under his control and command.

Here is the clearly unbalanced Secretary of “War” lecturing the media on how it is to cover the decimation of Iran. Note that he says of CNN, “The sooner that David Ellison (Zionist nepo baby of Zionist Billionaire Larry Ellison) takes over that network, the better.” This is shortly after Trump negotiated a deal for Larry Ellison to buy the most influential social media platform on the planet, Tiktok, at a bargain basement price. Netanyahu commented the Tiktok sale was the most important advance in Israel’s war of censorship across Western Civilization. The Trump administration also paved the way for Ellison to take over one of the three major U.S. networks, CBS, which in the following several months has turned into a shameless Trump regime and Zionism War cheerleader.

In one year, Netanyahu and Trump have managed to consolidate more Empire controlled and censored media than during the previous forty years.

The fascist One World government order has made more progress in one year than it did in the previous four years of unprecedented consolidation. And it did so under the command of the President elected to stop it in its tracks. And now he is overtly attempting to censor folks like you and me.

The administration is already going after its own erstwhile greatest supporters:

1984 is upon us.

A new form of censorship?

The Trump administration has done yeoman’s work in dismantling much of the federal government funded and directed censorship operations put in place since 2020. However, many administration supporters (some erstwhile) are expressing fears that Trump is implementing a new form of censorship. Worse, in spite of all the “America first” rhetoric this censorship is done at the behest of a foreign country.

Trump is rightfully cutting back federal funding to the socialist higher education scam. However, some of the conditions set for maintaining funding in effect amount to censorship. The administration is requiring avowals to censor speech concerning Israel as condition for continued funding. The censorious nature of the operation is obscured by its implementers wrapping themselves in the anti-‘antisemitism’ flag. But, the speech they are seeking to suppress and control is not about Semites or Jews. It is about a nation, the state of Israel, and its unpopular and ugly war policies and conduct.

The Attorney General has announced investigations into several universities for failure to crack down on speech criticizing Israel, couching it as a fight against “antisemitism.” A number of prominent critics of Israel’s war conduct have been targeted for immediate deportation for no other apparent reason than speaking against Israel’s military actions against civilians.

Most recently the administration announced the withholding of disaster relief funds from states that allow boycotts of Israeli companies, see Trump’s Base Fragments Further. The US Supreme Court has long held that boycott is a form of speech, expression, assembly and petition all protected by the First Amendment to the US Constitution, see NAACP v. Claiborne Hardware Co., 458 U.S. 886 (1982). The administration apparently reeled this one back only after outrage on X went mega viral. In doing so, the Department of Homeland Security doubled down on its commitment to combat lawful boycotts: “DHS will enforce all anti-discrimination laws and policies, including as it relates to the BDS movement, which is expressly grounded in antisemitism. Those who engage in racial discrimination should not receive a single dollar of federal funding.”

Trump’s deference and allegiance to Bibi Netanyahu has been taken to almost comically absurd proportions. Several high administration officials are making embarrassing public acts of supplication to Israel. Once considered a straight shooter, Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino was recently asked in an interview about his official duties, “what is the cause that really is closest to his heart?” He replied, “Israel. Defense of Israel.” Quite an odd answer for a DOMESTIC law enforcement official. The FBI should have zero regard or loyalty to any foreign country. To make matters worse his boss, FBI Director Kash Patel piled on, saying “America will prioritize Israel, and we stand by our number one ally.” Perhaps the US ambassador to Israel might get away with a statement slightly less extreme, but not the chief of the top DOMESTIC law enforcement agency.

Such concerns are intensified by Trump’s recent 180 degree flipflop shift on the Ukraine war. After two years of promising to end it before day one of his Presidency, he has since announced falling into line with Biden’s obsequious compliance to the will of the Military Industrial Complex. He has gone as far as publicly sucking up to the senate’s premiere Neo Con Lindsey Graham, resuming US funding of the war, and repositioning nuclear submarines over defensive statements made by a former Russian President.

Should Trump not come to his senses and reverse this censorious and oddly compliant course of conduct, not only will “America First” become an empty phrase, but people will begin to wonder, and perhaps investigate, what hold Israel and/or the Military Industrial Complex might have on him that would explain his radical shift of behavior.

Wild times. We best stay alert to the winds of change.
