On the critical imperative of an independent media and free speech:

Give up your free speech at your peril. Once they are able to silence you, the game is over. The loss of all of your other freedoms will fall like dominos after. Anyone that advocates to censor you, or to unmask your anonymity is your adversary. Treat them like one - no matter what else they say.

But why is it so vital and necessary for the combined monolithic apparatus of government, corporations, and NGOs, to brute force censor everyone while decimating the careers and reputations of the dissenters? Here is why:

The reason the First Amendment is prime directive order 1, is because it is the most important freedom we have for the same reason it is the first target an adversary subverts, disrupts, and destroys during a crime, a war, or a takeover—preventing a target from assembling, communicating, and organizing a response to an assault grants an enormous advantage to the aggressors.

"If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent will be led, like sheep to the slaughter." —George Washington

The Second Amendment is second because it is the remedy for anyone trying to subvert the First.

----

"The 1-A is first for a reason. The 2-A is it's twin. Together they make a bond of freedom." —S.P.H.

"At no time in history have the ones.doing the censoring been the good guys."

Write the Republicans on the judiciary committee! https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/about/members I know what about Lindsey, Cruz and Lee, I didn't bother with them - they are so MAGGOT! but I wrote to all of the rest! including Grassley who may be too Maggot too but I was born in Iowa, so I hit with that! that Iowans do NOT like LIARS and criminals!

And; please don’t try to defend Todd Blanche and say he is just another TeamTrump loyalist like: Pammi Jo! Todd Blanche worked for years @ THE SOVEREIGN/SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK! HE IS WELL FAMILIAR WITH THE RULE OF LAW MOREOVER, HE IS WELL AWARE WHAT HAPPENS TO FOLKS WHO CLEARLY, VIOLATE THE LAW; EVEN FOLKS LIKE BLANCHE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LOOKING OUT FOR AMERICANS BEST INTEREST - NOT THE INTEREST OF DJT…..

Meanwhile, it is irresponsible for a Senate, even one currently, control by Donald Trump’s rogue Maga-Republican Party to approve the most corrupt, lawless, Attorney General in the U.S, 250 year history! Remember, Judge Emmet Sullivan put in writing: TODD-CART-BLANCHE CONCEDED IN HIS OWN WRITINGS, THAT BLANCHE’S DOJ HAS BEEN IN VIOLATION OF THE EPSTEIN TRANSPARENCY ACT, EVERYDAY SINCE: DEC 31,2025!
