John Kerry Thinks Free Speech Is “Dangerous” And “Outdated”

RTM  

"John Kerry isn’t the only one bashing the First Amendment. An anti-free speech movement is rapidly growing in the country led by law professors and supported by politicians, reported the New York Post." 


"John Kerry called the First Amendment “dangerous” and “outdated” while speaking at the World Economic Forum on Sept 24.

"During his WEF speech, Kerry said that free speech is a “major block” and suggested that The United States of America should have a “truth arbiter,” reported the New York Post. 

He said, “You know, there’s a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities in order to guarantee that you’re going to have some accountability on facts, etc. But look, if people only go to one source, and the source they go to is sick, and, you know, has an agenda, and they’re putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to be able to just, you know, hammer it out of existence. So what we need is to win the ground, win the right to govern, by hopefully winning enough votes that you’re free to be able to implement change.”

"Kerry blamed social media as the main source for his anti-free speech view.". . .

John Kerry Laments That First Amendment Is ‘Major Block’ to Stifling Speech Video

In this episode of The Spectator P.M. Podcast, hosts Ellie Gardey Holmes and Lyrah Margo discuss the importance of the First Amendment and how free speech is a right that cannot be taken away from Americans. They also discuss how Kerry’s comments are part of the Left’s continued efforts to suppress conservative media outlets, such as The American Spectator.

Elon Musk and private people have to do what the Biden Administration will not do nor permit

The Government's Failure to Help After Helene Goes Far Beyond What the Media Is Willing to Tell You  . . ."The reason the media doesn't want to cover this is obvious. This is one of the biggest government scandals in modern history, and one that makes the Biden-Harris administration look horrific. This is right before people go to the polls to vote, no less. 

"The vast majority of the news and updates we're getting come from people on the ground who are having to deal with the effort to help these people directly. For instance, this woman who is running supplies described how four FEMA agents got off a private jet, and she soon learned that no others would be coming because most FEMA agents are tied up at the border. 

"She described how the army has taken over body recovery and that she overheard them saying that whatever number of dead there are, "go ahead and add a couple of zeroes.' ". . .

The Democrats' War on Western North Carolina

 . . ."With a national election just weeks away, the Biden-Harris failure to quickly to save lives in the state's most significant Republican stronghold, could deliver a political advantage to swing the state to Kamala. At the same time, billions flow to illegal aliens and Ukraine, while Americans suffer. Is this a coincidence, or calculated inaction for political gain?

The Democrats neither act, nor fail to act, without a determined political calculus. This time, Americans are paying the price of that political calculus with their lives.

 Hurricane Helene Victims Lash Out at Biden, Harris: ‘Disgraceful’

“It’s disgraceful,” he continued. “I mean, they keep saying ‘We the people.’ No, there is no ‘We the people.’ It is them versus us. Like, they’re not for us. It’s all about them — they tell us what we need instead of listening to us.”

Bruce Springsteen...Your Music Sucks, and So Do Your Political Opinions

Sadly I love so much of his music, except the songs that trash the United States of America, such as, to name just two, "Death To My Hometown", and "Mrs. McGrath":

 I'd rather have my son as he used to be/ [Than] the King of America and his whole Navy"

RedState
" In November 2020, Springsteen was arrested for drunk driving, but that didn’t stop “Jeep” from featuring Springsteen in a Super Bowl Ad that was a stick in the eye to everyone who didn’t vote for Biden. Biden would bring a divided America together...or something."  


. . ."Bruce Springsteen said he would move to Australia if Trump won in 2020. He didn’t move because Biden won. In November 2020, Springsteen was arrested for drunk driving, but that didn’t stop “Jeep” from featuring Springsteen in a Super Bowl Ad that was a stick in the eye to everyone who didn’t vote for Biden. Biden would bring a divided America together...or something.  

"Biden, of course, did not unite – he divided us. Even more than his boss, Obama, he was the vindictive old man screaming, “Get off my lawn!” When Biden wasn’t screaming, he was doing his creepy whisper, claiming that half of America was a danger to democracy. Celebrities came out to support a clearly addled old man claiming that Biden would save “democracy” — if Trump wins again, the nation is doomed. Then, the addled old man showed America that he was an addled old man. The Shady Hills Retirement resident loaned out to the DNC showed us that he was incapable of filling out his Bingo card, so the Democrats inserted Kamala Harris into the slot. Harris had so little support four years ago that she dropped out before the California primary. She got precisely zero votes in the Democrat primaries, yet she is the nominee that Springsteen is, again, telling us will save America from the threat of Trump."....  

URGENT: The left is going to war on the First Amendment

 Alex Berenson 

"In the last 48 hours, two extraordinary videos have arrived on X. The first features John Kerry, the Democratic candidate for President in 2004. The second is of Bill Gates, the world’s fifth-richest man and, with George Soros, its top left-leaning charity funder. Kerry’s video runs a mere two minutes. Gates’s lasts barely 30 seconds. And both should terrify anyone who believes in free speech. Both reveal that the top of the American left now explicitly rejects the First Amendment."

. . .Yes, Kerry openly called the First Amendment a “block” to his desire to regulate social media outlets that allow dissenting points of view.

Meanwhile, in his video, which came from a CNBC interview, Gates offered an even more specific example of speech that needed to be curtailed - vaccine skepticism:

We should have free speech, but if you're inciting violence, if you're causing people not to take vaccines, you know, where are those boundaries, that even the US, ahh, should have rules...

" Gates then went on to suggest that artificial intelligence could be used to censor dissenting speech instantly, since allowing it for even a day would be too long.

The left’s antipathy to the First Amendment began in 2016, when Donald Trump overcame the hostility of the entire establishment and a massive fundraising disadvantage to beat Hillary Clinton.

"It worsened in 2020 and 2021, when aggressive media and government coordination around Covid fearmongering and mRNA promotion could not completely suppress dissent on social media. That pushback led to open (and secret) pressure on the platforms to censor.

Now, the fact Donald Trump has much more than a puncher’s chance of returning to the White House in November appears to be driving the left insane. Thus the increasing calls for still more aggressive government-led censorship efforts." . . .

Wait! I thought Democrats loathed the Cheneys!

 

And this is bad? Trump RIPS Liz Cheney for campaigning for Kamala Harris: ‘They hurt each other’   Video

Change? How's this for change? The neighborhood our sons grew up in is lined with cars, tents in the backyards, and porta potties in driveways since Biden opened the border. Yet half the people in America want this man and his yokefellows to continue ruling our nation, along with celebrities in gated homes who should know better. TD

Huh? Kamala campaigns with the hated Liz Cheney…   

. . ."Cheney’s willingness to work with Harris, whom Cheney previously described as a “radical liberal,” does not come as a surprise. Cheney endorsed Harris in September because of the “danger” that Trump allegedly poses. “I have thought deeply about this, and because of the danger that Donald Trump poses, not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I will be voting for Kamala Harris,” she claimed: . . ."

David Axelrod Says the Quiet Part Out Loud as Biden Blocks Ongoing Rescue Efforts, Claims Hurricane Helene Victims in North Carolina Are Mainly Trump Voters Who Will Find it Hard to Vote

 Cristina Laila; The Gateway Pundit  

"Joe Biden says all the people in North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina are getting everything they need and are “very happy.' ” Clay Travis

"Obama-Harris whisperer David Axelrod, host of the “Axe Files” podcast, said the quiet part out loud as the Biden Regime blocks ongoing rescue operations in North Carolina.

"Axelrod said Hurricane Helene victims in North Carolina are mainly Trump voters who will find it hard to vote in the 2024 election.

"David Axelrod said affected Democrats from Asheville are “upscale liberal voters, and they’re probably going to figure out a way to vote. I’m not sure a bunch of these folks who had their homes and lives destroyed elsewhere, in western North Carolina, in the mountains, there are going to be as easy to wrangle for the Trump campaign.”. . .

. . ."Over 200 Americans are dead after Hurricane Helene and the thousands of victims impacted have been disgracefully left behind. The Biden administration has blocked ongoing rescue operations and North Carolina is living in the dark ages because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris hate Elon Musk. FEMA is now out of money, because Joe Biden and Kamala spent over a billion dollars of FEMA cash on migrants. Illegals got luxury hotel rooms, but Kamala’s just tossing Helene victims $750 and heading back on the campaign trail. This must not meet her standard for giving extra resources- she only wants to do that based on equity,” Jesse Watters said." . . .

No help here:  Obama Will ‘Blitz’ Battleground States For Kamala In Final Weeks Of Campaign   

"Nearly a dozen people reportedly told the AP that Obama had a role in urging Biden to withdraw from the race after his disastrous debate performance against Trump on June 27".

Bruce Springsteen Endorses Kamala Harris, Slams President Trump as “the Most Dangerous Candidate for President in My Lifetime”

MSNBC and the ladies of "The View" will love this even more that the bullet that grazed Trump's ear. TD

 Kristinn Taylor; the Gateway Pundit  

Springsteen, who has largely held on to his liberal fan base, is on a month-long break in his current world tour with shows set for Canada in late October and November, leaving him available to play Kamala Harris rallies the next few weeks to help her draw crowds like he did for Barack Obama.

A look back at Springsteen's judgment and wisdom in selecting those who run America: 


"75-year-old rocker Bruce Springsteen endorsed Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in a nearly three minute long video posted to social media Thursday evening. The endorsement, which comes as no surprise as “the Boss” has endorsed every Democrat presidential nominee for decades, follows pop star Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Harris last month. Springsteen called Trump “the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime.”

"Swift’s endorsement had little positive to a small net negative impact on the race according to polls. Springsteen’s longtime association with the Democrats, including his friendship with Barack Obama, will likely mean his endorsement will have little impact on the race except to remind conservatives who were once fans of Springsteen why they no longer go to his shows or buy his music, even if they don’t turn the dial when Dancing in the Dark or Born to Run comes on the radio." . . .

Perhaps Bruce should stop watching MSNBC:

“FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.” Mayorkas

 Mayorkas Says FEMA Will Run Out of Funds Before Hurricane Season is Over; Agency Spent $640.9 Million on Noncitizens in 2024

. . ."Mayorkas claimed Wednesday that FEMA has been able to meet the immediate needs of Americans in communities devastated by the hurricane, however according to multiple reports, the federal government has offered little to no help.

"According to independent journalist Breanna Morello, the Biden-Harris regime and North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper (D) are refusing to deploy search and rescue teams to help Americans trapped after Hurricane Helene.

"These teams have been in the area since Sunday, but have not been granted authorization to rescue anyone." . . .

Joe Biden's Dawdling in Ordering Federal Troops for Disaster Relief Is Incompetent, Malicious, or Both  "It has been nearly a week since Hurricane Helene hit western North Carolina, and Joe Biden has finally announced, on behalf of whoever is running the country, that he has authorized 1,000 federal troops from Fort Bragg (I will never call it anything else) North Carolina, to assist in disaster relief operations a mere 250 miles away." . . .


. . ."As an aside, Howard's story of petty bickering among local officials seems to be spot on; see Pilot flying Helene rescue missions in NC ordered out, threatened with arrest." . . .

 

NEW EVIDENCE: Tucker Carlson Releases SHOCKING Unseen Footage of Trump Assassination Attempt

Gateway Pundit  
The footage is part of Tucker’s latest documentary, which covers the events of July 13th at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania and the failures of the Secret Service on that most extraodinary of days.
"Tucker Carlson has released shocking unseen footage of the first assassination attempt against Donald Trump.

"The raw footage, captured across various cameras, shows attendees at the rally warning the Secret Service that the attempted shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, successfully scaled a nearby roof before coming inches away from assassinating the former president.

In separate footage, attendees are seen sheltering themselves from the gunfire, which sadly killed firefighter Corey Comperatore and seriously wounded two others.

"Such footage corroborates the view that the Secret Service drastically failed in its duties to secure the area, a failure that led to the resignation of its director, Kimberley Cheatle." . . .


She Survived Nazism and Communism, but Eva Edl Could Die in Prison for Pro-Life Protests

Throw in the usual security concerns that "everything gets hacked" and Big Tech's history of complying with secret FISA warrants, and you can see that AI-collated databases like DRN's are goldmines for hackers and Feds alike. 

"It all started in Great Britain — aka Airstrip One in Orwell's "1984" — with the installation of surveillance cameras virtually everywhere. Now they're being weaponized with artificial intelligence into a searchable database tracking where Americans drive and even what we believe. 

"Images collected nationwide by DRN Data—a license-plate recognition (LPR) company owned by Motorola Solutions—go far beyond what you might expect from an LPR. A report in Wired this week details how DRN's vehicle-mounted cameras go everywhere and take pictures and videos of everything.

"You're probably already used to that sort of thing, sad to say, thanks to companies like Google and Apple sending out their camera cars to keep their GPS navigation mapping apps up-to-date. But Wired's investigation into DRN shows there's so much more going on under the hood.

Another image taken on a different day by a different vehicle shows a “Steelworkers for Harris-Walz” sign stuck in the lawn in front of someone’s home. A construction worker, with his face unblurred, is pictured near another Harris sign. Other photos show Trump and Biden (including “F*ck Biden”) bumper stickers on the back of trucks and cars across America. One photo, taken in November 2023, shows a partially torn bumper sticker supporting the Obama-Biden lineup.

These images were generated by AI-powered cameras mounted on cars and trucks, initially designed to capture license plates, but which are now photographing political lawn signs outside private homes, individuals wearing T-shirts with text, and vehicles displaying pro-abortion bumper stickers—all while recording the precise locations of these observations. Newly obtained data reviewed by WIRED shows how a tool originally intended for traffic enforcement has evolved into a system capable of monitoring speech protected by the US Constitution.

"But it isn't the images themselves that are concerning. The same AI tech that lets your smartphone copy text out of a photograph allows DRN's servers to "read" much more than just license plates." . . .

OMG: MSNBC Producer Admits Network is ‘Doing All They Can’ to Help Elect Kamala Harris

 Cristina Laila; The Gateway Pundit 

 Hamdan also didn’t shy away from criticizing the network’s audience, stating, “They’ve made their viewers dumber over the years,” and explaining that MSNBC is “too cozy with Democratic politicians.”

"James O’Keefe strikes again!

"O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) on Thursday released undercover video of Basel Hamdan, a producer for MSNBC, admitting the network is doing all they can to elect Kamala Harris.

"Hamdan also told the OMG undercover journalist that MSNBC has made their viewers “dumber over the years.”

"Via OMG:

During an undercover date with an OMG journalist, Basel Hamdan, a writer and producer for MSNBC’s show “Ayman,” was asked what the network has done to assist the Kamala Harris campaign. Hamdan revealed on hidden camera that “what her [Harris’s] message of the day is, is their message of the day,” as MSNBC actively pushes Harris’s narrative to help her win. He admitted that MSNBC is doing “all they can to help,” Harris get elected, with the network operating as an extension of the campaign. He went on to say, “MSNBC is indistinguishable from the party,” further highlighting their partisan agenda.

In discussing the relationships between the MSNBC hosts and Democratic politicians, Hamdan reveals, ”The anchor and the politician are just in total agreement about everything.” He adds, “If you watch an interview with a Democratic politician, they just finish each other’s sentences.” 

 Hamdan also didn’t shy away from criticizing the network’s audience, stating, “They’ve made their viewers dumber over the years,” and explaining that MSNBC is “too cozy with Democratic politicians.”   (Emphasis mine. TD)

“So do you feel like MSNBC is doing enough to help the Harris campaign?” the OMG undercover journalist asked Basel Hamdan.

“ 'I mean, they’re doing all they can to help,” Hamdan said." . . .

MSNBC host left stunned as star impeachment witness reveals why he is now backing Trump

UK Daily Mail 

"'I live in a bucolic city of Portland, Oregon, which has been destroyed by those policies. Absolutely decimated. Businesses are suffering. My own business is suffering solely for political reasons, and it's all fixable and they don't want to fix it,' Sondland complained."


"MSNBC's Ari Melber was left shocked when Gordon Sondland, a star witness during former President Donald Trump's first impeachment, said he planned to vote for the Republican nominee. 

"Sondland served as Trump's ambassador to the European Union and testified against him in 2019 when he was accused of holding up Ukraine funding in an effort to pressure President Volodymyr Zelensky into announcing investigations into Joe and Hunter Biden

"During a segment Wednesday night, Melber pointed to Sondland's rejection of Trump in the aftermath of the January 6 Capitol attack and asked him if he still felt that way. 

" 'No, I don't stand by it and I'll tell you why,' he said during a panel discussion alongside other ex-Trump officials including Peter Navarro and Sarah Matthews. 

" 'I've now lived four years under the Biden-Harris policies and I have to say that those policies are not only becoming an existential threat to our country's way of life, but to our allies as well,' Sondland argued. " . . .

But hey; Bruce Springsteen will never fail Kamala! He's an Obama man through and through.
