Global attack on free speech is Hail Mary hit at Elon Musk
COMMENTARY
By Cheryl K. Chumley - The Washington Times - Thursday, October 3, 2024
OPINION:
John Kerry, former Secretary of State and green czar for the Barack Obama administration, said during a World Economic Forum on Green Energy discussion that the First Amendment is really proving a stumbling block to getting out the government’s preferred narratives about climate change — implying, of course, that free speech ought to be controlled and curtailed.
Democrats have been doing an awful lot of whining about the perils and dangers of free speech lately. It’s no coincidence it comes as election season heats; Kamala Harris falters; Donald Trump rises; and Elon Musk has made it impossible for the tyrannical left to stifle dissenting views on his social media platform.
It’s the Democrats’ last-ditch, twelfth-hour attempt to win the White House this November.
They can’t do it with principle and platform and policy. They can only do it by lies and deceptions and double-talks — and by shutting down the voices of those who call out their lies and deceptions and double-talks. If only Musk hadn’t purchased Twitter and turned it into X, then Democrats would be A-OK with the First Amendment. They wouldn’t feel the desperate need to talk about dangerous speech, perilous speech, disinformation and misinformation and the societal hazards of letting such go forth for public consumption. They love free speech so long as they can control the speech. Now that Musk has made it impossible for them to control the narratives, they have to talk up the dangers of free speech so as to try and persuade Americans to agree that some speech is in need of controlling — so they then can take the reins of control and censor speech once again. Just like they did during the coronavirus. Just like they did during the last election. Just like they did with January 6 and Russia, Russia, Russia and Hunter Biden laptop and Braindead Joe Biden stories and videos social media posts.
“But look,” Kerry said, in answer to a question about combatting “misinformation” about climate change, Sky News reported, “if people only go to one source, and the source they go to is such 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.”
Hammer away, Kerry.
