The First Amendment has been with us for a long time—since 1791 to be exact.
It reads:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
This from wndnewscenter.org.
It’s unambiguous. Simple and straightforward. And clear.
It’s the First Amendment because in many ways, it’s the most important.
Now, what exactly does it mean?
The First Amendment prevents government from requiring you to say something you don’t want to say, or keeping you from hearing or reading the words of others—even if you never speak out yourself, you have the right to receive information. But it means much more than that.
It protects several basic freedoms in the United States including freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to assemble and the right to petition the government.
What is clear, however, is that Joe Biden (the Obiden Regime) does not understand that—or at a minimum—is pushing the envelope, attempting to skirt the breadth of intent of the amendment. And Joe is putting on airs to feign disbelief in the amendment. And, likewise, the communist/globalist party as a whole is feigning disbelief and proceeding to take action contrary to the intent of the amendment.
Rationale for the above claims? When U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty of Louisiana issued his injunction on July 4 against Biden’s social-media censorship, Biden ignored the injunction—and so did every communist/globalist currently in Congress.
Worse yet, so did the Deep State that controls so much in the U.S., including Merrick Garland, the U.S. attorney general, and Christopher Wray, the FBI director.
Since Doughty’s injunction, whistleblowers have revealed to Congress the FBI blew off the order that bans officials from the Obiden Regime from meeting with Big Tech corporations to scheme about censoring messages that should heard.
A congressional committee heard that in ordinary circumstances in ordinary times and ordinary administrations, the FBI would disseminate details immediately to employees and provide training if needed, so that agents follow new legal guidance or directives.
The report said:
[H]owever, when Judge Doughty issued his injunction against Biden’s censorship, ‘FBI Director Christopher Wray and his lieutenants never took steps to comply.’
The report explained that right after the order:
[T]he White House claimed the Department of Justice was looking at the instructions.
Then two days later it appealed. Let me emphasize that: THEY APPEALED THE ORDER!
The whistleblower disclosures given to Congress stated:
Neither FBI Director Wray nor FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate issued bureau-wide emails to address the issue with the agents, task force officers, and analysts that may in the course of their duties have contact with the social media companies.
In doing so, Director Wray and Deputy Director Abbate have willfully disregarded the judicial authority and limitations that federal courts have over the FBI.
Doughty barred multiple federal agencies along with the FBI from:
[E]ngaging in various types of communication with social media companies.
He also barred them from “pressuring” companies to censor posts.
The case had been brought by officials in Missouri and Louisiana, alleging the federal government went way too far in censoring social media comments that conflicted with “official” government propaganda.
The judge said:
Evidence produced thus far depicts an almost dystopian scenario. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a period perhaps best characterized by widespread doubt and uncertainty, the United States Government seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth.’
Final thoughts: What is more severe than a death sentence? These coup d’etat perpetrators refuse to abide by a Federal Court order in large part because they already have a certain future death sentence hanging over each of their heads. Their refusal to abide is as if they each are saying, ‘Screw you. What more can you possibly add to an execution?’
Well, in response to that question, I believe We the People should up the ante to slow, torturous, painful, public execution. Then perform one to demonstrate.
If I have gone too far, please advise, Def-Con News readers.
