The Censorship and Tyranny Is Not Going Away

The Censorship and Tyranny Is Not Going Away – Todd Strandberg - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/ There has been a massive amount of suppression against liberty on the part of academia, the liberal media, and leftist politicians. The general presentation is that it isonly necessary to deal with the lies from Trump and to regulate the dangers from COVID-19. I am very doubtful that we could ever return to a state that could be classified as normal. We’re so close to total insanity, I doubt a new president or an effective vaccine will make any difference. We could solve the old problems and the left will find new onesto carry on its campaign of tyranny. Several years ago I saw the danger of people using platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube to house their content. For a while it appeared promising to be able toshare your views with millions of other users on these massive platforms. Now conservatives are being penalized because of their fundamental beliefs. If you post something about election fraud on Twitter, a message will appear beneath your comment saying “Voterfraud of any kind is exceedingly rare.” If you post the same thing on YouTube, a link will point to an electoral college map that shows Biden with a commanding lead. Many people have turned to a more conservative-friendly home: Parler, a Twitter rival that bills itself as “an unbiased social media focused on real user experiences andengagement.” Parler almost lost control of its web address when their domain register gave it only 24 hours to move to a new business. This dirty move was like the power company cutting your electricity because they don’t like your politics. The mainstream media is now obsessed with trying to marginalize Parler. Just in the past week, there have been several articles in major publications trying to portray Parleras a home of the dangerous fringe of conspiracy theorists. That’s pretty ironic, since the platform these articles defend, Twitter, is a cesspool of anti-Trump conspiracy theories and has been for 4 years. On Twitter, the liberal media spread a claim that Parler was hacked, and Twitter obediently made the hashtag trend. Liberals were ecstatic that Parler had been hacked andthat private Direct Messages of conservatives would be published — but it was all fake. There was no hack. Some of the most authoritarian actions have come from state governors. They have used the pandemic set rules that Hitler would have judged as going too far. Vermont GovernorPhil Scott placed a limit on how many people could gather for Thanksgiving and wanted kids to snitch on their parents. The governor of Oregon shocked a reporter by calling in an interview for people to rat out their neighbors if they have more than six peoplefor dinner. One of the most universal warning signs of despotism is the banning of books. We have reached the point where many people now see it as a positive step to censor authors.A decade ago if you had told people an accomplished professor would be labeled as controversial for merely saying men are men and women are women, you would be laughed at. Jordan Peterson has come under attack for making statements on human sexuality thatwere once seen as common sense. Peterson’s publisher, Penguin-Random House, recently announced that they would soon release a new book by the professor. Many employees of the firm demanded that the booknot be published. Some of their reasons for wanting the ban is Peterson’s popularity with right-wing groups, and mental anguish he has caused them with his so-called hateful ideas. I think the greatest reason for the lack of outrage over this trend toward tyranny is people’s general belief that good will always triumph over evil. As far as God’s viewof things, this saying is true. In mankind’s world, evil has always had the edge. The United States is a very rare nation to have gone 244 years without any period of tyrannical rule. We are likely running out of time because Bible prophecy dictates that allnations will fall under Satan’s command during the tribulation hour. “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were castout with him” (Revelation 12:9). “Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, becausehe knoweth that he hath but a short time” (Revelation 12:12).
