The Escalating War on Freedom of Thought
"The First Amendment was not prepared for the internet..."
Prescott, AZ February 29, 2024… There are two masters of tyranny, one is the public sector (government) the other is the private sector (business). When the two come together, as they have for the last decade, bad things happen. Our beloved Constitution is under assault by tyrants, the men who would pervert it, in both realms.
"The people of these United States are the rightful masters of both congresses and courts, not to over-throw the Constitution, but to over-throw the men who pervert that Constitution."1 Abraham Lincoln, 1864
Freedom of thought is the progenitor to the freedom of speech (aka freedom of expression), verbalizing into words those things that we feel and think of is a uniquely human feature of mankind. And, freedom of expression may be exercised in ways other than speech, such as casting one’s preferences for leadership in the form of a ballot documenting that preference. This all sounds like really basic stuff, right? There is no shortage of individuals asserting their God-given right to freedom of thought.
“That right from which all other rights flow is going away…” Tucker Carlson
Critical thinkers are recognizing that, “The defining fact of the United States is freedom of speech. The extent this country is actually exceptional. It’s because we have the First Amendment to the Bill of Rights. We have freedom of conscience we can say what we really think there’s no hate speech exception to that just because you hate what somebody else thinks you cannot force that person to be quiet because we’re citizens, not slaves.”2 I urge you to watch the full interview with Tucker and Benz, you need to know this stuff, before is becomes a crime to think and speak.
The Thought Police are on patrol…
Mike Benz, former U.S. State Department Cyber Portfolio Manager and acknowledged expert on the national security state & the inversion of democracy, is sounding an alarm that every citizen in America should pay heed to. There is an assault on civil rights going on right now. You see, there are elements both inside and outside of government, and not just here in the United States, but all around the world, who seek to criminalize speech, and by extension your thoughts that do not comport with their agenda. Mike and Tucker would be classified as criminals under this anti-civil rights, micro-management regime for doing the interview found at Tucker Carlson Uncensored.
We used to hear the term, “speak truth to power…” a phrase that originated in the Civil Rights and Peace movements of the mid-20th century, and first appeared in print in the title of a 1955 antiwar treatise published by the American Religious Society of Friends, also known as the Quakers.3 It is also important to emphasize that the Constitution of the United States was written to restrain government, not the People. The member nation-states also wrote it to give limited and discrete powers to the national government, it has never been a license to seize all manner of power and state domain.
In a time when government units from municipalities, like Gilbert Arizona, to the national government in Washington D.C., and within all three branches of government, want to “encourage” you to think “the right way” and discipline anyone who deviates from the acceptable narrative, we are told that disinformation is now considered a cyber attack on democracy. Our children are being indoctrinated into the shift of labels, from republic to democracy, two very different forms of government.
Benz explains the paradigm shift, “The mere mention of election skepticism, or the posting of a comment that you think mail-in ballots are a threat to democracy, DHS would classify you in the same group as a cyber-security attack, essentially a domestic terrorist. If you undermine the public confidence in elections, you are now committing a cyber attack on America, on the nation itself.” This is the criminalization of free speech. Never mind that we the People catch nearly all levels of government lying about something every single day, and in their rush to control the narrative, Public Information Officers (PIOs) are the mouthpiece of “truth” that is carefully worded in efforts to obfuscate, deflect and deceive.
Free speech for me but not for thee…
The public sector (government) tyrant class uses the private sector (business & NGO) tyrant class to condition the people into the belief that some speech must not be allowed because it is a “danger to society.” Even stating the obvious, like a description of the surveillance video of suitcases filled with ballots coming out from under a table and being injected into the population of ballots, which makes them impossible to find, is now labeled “misinformation.” Here is an example of how it’s done.
First, we see the title of an Associated Press article, “Misinfo about ‘suitcases’ of ballots and a burst pipe in 2020 return after Trump’s Georgia indictment.” At the time, the video clearly showed that ballots were taken from suitcases that had been stowed under tables in the tabulation room, but only after the offices were cleared of observers because of a broken water pipe “emergency.” Interestingly, not everybody was evacuated for this emergency. On a scale of 0-10, the narrative rates a 10 on the bullshit meter.
Second, the AP uses the term “fact-check” to lend legitimacy to their story which is filled with inaccuracies. You can see the searchable phrase in the website url.

Third, the use of words like “long-debunked” and “false claims” in the body of the story itself attempts to obfuscate what was plainly visible in the video,
