I have a strong belief in freedom of speech. It is one of the founding principles in this country.
I thought about imbedding this in an existing thread, but believe it warrants having it's own thread.
Sure, the Supreme Court has found that there are certain exceptions to free speech such as yelling fire and causing harm to people in a crowded theater.
Of course, yelling fire would not be a problem if there actually is a fire. That act would be saving lives not endangering them.
So, yelling fire in a crowded theater could either save lives .... or put lives at risk ... depending on whether or not there actually is a fire.
So, who gets to decide what the truth is? Who gets to decide something is disinformation?
In my mind, the decision of to allow or deny speech has to be much like innocense or guilt .... speech must be allowed by default and must be proven harmful to be censored.
The censorship machine, however, is running at full speed in today's world ..... techniques developed by the CIA are being used on the public all over the world.
The censorship machine has been exposed by several independent journalists lately .... The latest version is here ....
Imbedded in that post is a link to this document, which appears to lay out most of the strategy.
Here is an interesting snippet under the category of "Create Fake Experts."
If all you want to do is shout about conspiracy theories, I'm not at all interested in hearing from you .... You need to bring proof that this is fake news.
I am extremely interested in how to tip the scales in favor of free speech.
I think exposing these tactics being used on us every day is an important part of tipping the scales.
