Police “Insult” Raids In Germany

Well, it looks like the West is destroying its own values in a coordinated fashion. In Germany, cops can raid your house for “insulting” a politician on social media now. “Hate speech,” “malicious gossip” and “fake quotes” are against the law too.

I have now been told that, as an American, it is almost impossible to explain freedom of speech and why it is important to people from other countries. Considering what’s going on in Germany now after a recent 60 Minutes piece on the “German insult police,” I have attempted my best in this video to explain why this is such a HUGE problem.

Not only is meaningful dissent made impossible without freedom of speech, enabling all manner of tyranny, but if you don’t have freedom of speech, you cannot have freedom of thought, nor true wisdom. Infantilization strikes once again, this time State-induced. No one can fully evolve their own mind under these circumstances. Here’s more from Truthstream Media.

Fake News: As Old As The Hills

You might think former President Donald Trump invented the term “fake news.” But here, we go back in time to the days before the American Revolutionary War, when King Charles II ruled the British Empire. King Charles II issued a proclamation, in 1674, “to restrain the spreading of false news, and licentious talking of matters of state and government.”

Those who violated the proclamation could not only be jailed, but also confined in a pillory on a public square, their hands and heads secured inside wooden or metal clamps. Frequently these prisoners were whipped, sometimes scarred, almost always mocked or scorned by passing bystanders.

Thus, the concept of fake news has been with us nearly 400 years. That’s how long it’s been used to justify censorship and to snuff out dissent or rebellion. Here’s more from Truthstream Media.
