‘Free Speech Caused the Holocaust’

In a shocking new low — no mean feat for CBS news — Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan insisted that it was TOO MUCH FREE SPEECH that lead to the mass murder of millions in Nazi gas chambers. And, if such a thing is possible, it arguably got worse from there.

Talk about free speech. I can’t even get my speech noticed by the people, allegedly in the speech business, even if you are paying them. I’m about to lose patience with free speech people, I swear.

I feel so strong about this that I canceled my membership until I get attention for my free speech. Put my mouth where my money was.

Clever chaps the Germans, that’s why they won the war…in the long run. Think about it, most of Europe is part of an expansionist political/economic union dominated by Germany. The expansion eastwards of this union has drawn it into conflict with Russia. Jews are under increasing pressure and many are leaving as they no longer feel safe While the German state does come down hard on the few actual ordinary Germans who are anti-Semitic, they have imported millions of people, mostly young Muslim men, from the Middle East and North Africa. It is overwhelmingly these newcomers that new anti-Semitism is… Read more »

This is a battle in Australia complicated by the fact that our largest conservative news organizations are owned by the Murdoch family which is now battling in court between the father and his now very left wing sons and daughters in law.

The closest Latin I can find is Septimana finem horribilis. There is no Latin for weekend.

What she said is now widely taught in many US schools and universities. Its been taught in Russia from when Putin was a child. Its been taught in China since the communists took over. Germany between the two world wars was never a democracy. It had no free trade or free media , even the Hyperinflation was an intentional attempt to extinguish large war reparation debts.

Ok, to try to steelman this dude’s argument … “free speech was weaponized to commit a holocaust”. It was not “free speech caused the holocaust”. It was the weaponization of free speech. I cannot think of a way to make that make sense. You cannot weaponize free speech – you can only weaponize speech. And that is what propaganda is. It is weaponized speech. So what zhey could have said was something to the effect of “Speech is powerful and bad things can happen when it is wielded by bad actors (like Jaden Smith). Should we consider limitations on speech… Read more »

Steve, I love your summation comment. I, too, wish Sec Rubio had stated that in response.

Trump is not pulling out of NATO. He is forcing it to standup and wrecking the left wing and green parties. Forcing them to Choose between Ukraine and their green left garbage policies. Even his fight with Zelenskyy is to get Putin to the table over confident but with an empty hand of cards. Manipulating Putin’s arrogance and confusing the Russian state media. It’s working. Putin will not keep any promise but Trump and Zelenskyy can do a deal with the Russian people and the generals that keep Putin in power. Half the Russians believe totally the Russian propaganda. The… Read more »

John Kerry (D), a past presidential candidate for the left, is at the forefront of this meme. He recently spoke at the World Economic Forum – 10/3/2024 – about the United States having a major impediment in its First Amendment. He sights the internet having “sick” sources spouting facts absent of truth attracting people to “disinformation”. He and other “elites” should be the arbiters of truth. Elizabeth Warren (D) agrees, saying that the masses won’t understand the existential crises of climate change, the sources of economic disparities, and racial bigotry – for instance – without censorship of the internet. I… Read more »

If either John Kerry or Elizabeth Warren correctly understands anything at all about reality, then a miracle has occurred.

Ah, CBS News. From Rathergate to the DeSantis speech “edited for clarity”. It’s as if the Big Three of the Dinosaur Media are in a race to the bottom

Bottom feeders: CBS (communist broadcast station), ABC (all bullshit channel or America Broadcasting Communists), NBC (National Broadcasters for Communism), CNN (communist news network) are all cr@p – give OAN, or Epoch Times a try. Also no fan of BBC, or AP, and as for NPR …
