BIDEN WATCH: 4.30.22 - Regulating free speech Obama style

Regulatingfree speech Obama style – Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com Former president Barack Obama Thursday called for regulation of free speech because Americans have lost their “capacity to distinguish between fact, opinion, and wholesalefiction.” Prefacing his remarks as “pretty close to a First Amendment absolutist,” Obama said “people are dying because of misinformation.” Obama’s point is that there is so much misinformation and disinformation circulating through social media that nobodyknows the truth, and his big idea on fixing the problem is for the government to regulate free speech in conjunction with a committee of people from various aspects of American life—the technology industry, political advocacy groups, and government bureaucrats. Trouble is, what Obama wants to regulate is dissent to his politics. There were two examples that he repeated throughout his speech: Election fraud and vaccination information.He said, “A lot of times this makes it impossible to tell the difference between, say, a peer-reviewed article by Dr. Anthony Fauci and a miracle cure being pitched by a huckster… The fact that scientists developed safe, effective vaccines in record time isan unbelievable achievement. And yet despite the fact that we’ve now, essentially clinically tested the vaccine on billions of people worldwide, around 1 in 5 Americans is still willing to put themselves at risk and put their families at risk rather than getvaccinated. People are dying because of misinformation.” There is so much wrong with this statement, starting with admitting that people worldwide were used for experimentation. He also used the election as an example: “President Trump’s own attorney general has said that the Justice Department uncovered no evidence of widespread voter fraud. Areview of the ballots in Arizona’s largest county, the results of which were endorsed by some pretty courageous local Republicans, because many of them were harassed and received death threats, actually more votes for President Biden and fewer votes for PresidentTrump. And yet today, as we speak, a majority of Republicans still insist that President Biden’s victory was not legitimate. That’s a lot of people.” But Obama’s misinformation is ignoring the massive voter integrity issues uncovered in Arizona, Michigan,Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Wisconsin. People are going to jail for voter fraud. But Obama failed to mention that. It’s his version of free speech. Only. The dissent over the COVID vaccine and treatment has many peer-reviewed studies and more facts are coming in every day that the experimental vaccine was not as advertised,and that people did die—not from misinformation, but from government-mandated treatments. Treatments that may have prevented those deaths were censored and denied as misinformation. But Obama doesn’t acknowledge these truths. He wants to regulate free speechto only speech that supports his political agenda. He is not promoting democracy, but tyranny. A government bureaucracy regulating free speech would be worse than one that regulates healthcare. And we have seen first-hand those results. He also wants to educatechildren on how to recognize disinformation. Obama said that this new truth would strengthen democracy. He said, “It is a chance for all of us to fight for truth, not absolute truth, not a fixed truth, but to fight for what, deep down, we know is more true, is right. It’sa chance for us to do that not just because we’re afraid of what will happen if we don’t, but because we’re hopeful about what can happen if we do.” So to Obama there is no absolute truth, only what we know is “more true.” Folks, it is far better to allowfree speech than to regulate it. And yes, there is a lot of bad information coming from the left and the right, even among Christians who should know better. But I submit that Christ himself is the answer, “If you continue in my word, then you are my disciplesindeed; And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:31-32).” Christ sent us the Spirit of Truth to guide us in all truth—something Obama and his political ilk would not understand. ----------------------- Are Things Betting Better for the Republicans? � Todd Strandberg - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/ The liberal media and the Democrats are having a bad month. Both of them are suffering from poor ratings. President Biden�s approval ratings are down 33%. Biden frequentlymispronounces words in his speeches. The press ignores the bloopers in his speech, but there is no covering up Biden trying to shake hands with an invisible person. After delivering a speech in North Carolina, he turned to his right and offered a handshake with no one there to receive it. He then turned his back to the audience andstood for a second or two before walking off the stage. Amid soaring inflation, 47% of the public say the economy is �poor,� the highest number in that category since 2012. Only 17% rank the economy as excellent or good, thelowest since 2014. Only one in five Americans describe their personal financial situation as �getting ahead,� the weakest showing in eight years. Most say they are �remaining in place,� andone in 10 say they are �falling backward.� Meanwhile, 56% say they expect a recession in the next year � a level only achieved in the survey during an actual recession. The Republicans have a good chance of taking back the Senate and the House this fall. In a normal year, the party out of power picks up several seats. As it stands rightnow, the Republicans appear set to have a sizable majority in the House and a slim lead in the Senate. Many liberal organizations are having a difficult time drawing viewers. Following a string of reports about underwhelming subscriber numbers, Discovery has reportedly decidedto shut down CNN+, CNN�s ill-fated streaming service, one month after its launch. CNN+�s dramatic failure to launch comes after it lured talent such as Chris Wallace from Fox News and Kasie Hunt from NBC News. Netflix�s stock fell sharply last week after the streaming giant posted disappointing first-quarter earnings, prompting a flurry of price target cuts and critique from analysts.Netflix saw exponential growth in earlier years. As Netflix started producing more leftist content, many conservatives started backing away from the service. The Obamas are set to part with Spotify after the streaming giant decided against offering a new deal, a report says. The Obama�s helped boost Spotify�s podcast credentialsafter announcing in June 2019 that they would develop and produce audio shows for the streaming giant. Higher Ground had begun shopping for new deals in recent months ahead of the end of the three-year deal, podcast industry insiders previously told Insider.Spotify and the Obamas are parting ways because they are boring. I constantly monitor the news, and I�ve never run across a story that quoted the former President and his wife�s media project. Walt Disney Co. has been protesting a New Florida law that blocks teachers from talking to young students about sex. Florida legislators passed a bill that revoked a specialtax status given to the company in 1967. I couldn�t find any articles on how much it would cost Disney. Walt Disney Co. has no business sticking its nose into matters that should solely be between a parent and their children. Elon Musk offered to buy Twitter for $46.5 billion. By making the offer, he revealed how the leftists view social media as the exclusive domain. Twitter�s board of directorsthreatened to fight back with a �poison pill� strategy, allowing it to flood the market with new shares if Musk buys more than 15 percent of the company. Fending off Musk�s $46.5 billion offer by creating more shares could dilute the value of shareholders� stock � but Twitter�s 10 board members own just a tiny portion, Musknoted in an April 16 tweet: �The Twitter board collectively owns almost no shares! Objectively, their economic interests are simply not aligned with shareholders.� Musk�s reason for wanting to purchase Twitter is to increase the value of the firm by making it open to people of all views. The Twitter board is only after power, and theirwillingness to damage the firm�s financials shows their lust for control. I�m hopeful that the mid-term elections will go well for the Republicans. It is depressing to realize Bible prophecy predicts that any respite will only be brief, but theultimate joy comes in knowing that someday all of the ungodly will be blown away like chaff for grain. �The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of therighteous. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish� (Psalms 1:4-6, KJV). -------------------------- Free Speech Undermines Democracy - BillWilson � www.dailyjot.com The puppet master of the Democratic Party, Barack Obama, wasn�t satisfied with undermining human autonomy and personal privacy with socialist healthcare. He is now goingafter free speech, although he calls it �disinformation.� In his speech to Stanford University sponge-brains last Thursday titled �Disinformation is a Threat to Our Democracy,� Obama attacked the First Amendment, saying that wild conspiracy theories like claimsthat COVID vaccines and treatments were ineffective and that the 2020 election was fraught with voter integrity issues should be regulated. In all, Obama said that what amounted to dissent against the government and Democratic Party narratives threatens democracy. His solution is very similar to how he fixed the healthcare system�set up a government regulatory entity that determines what is disinformation and misinformation and thencensors it or regulates it. Let�s remember how this worked in healthcare. The Centers for Disease Control controlled treatment protocols for COVID by paying hospitals bonuses (bounties) of about $100,000 per patient for CDC mandated treatments such as Remdesivirand ventilators. Virtually no other treatments were allowed despite multiple studies that indicated CDC treatments carried with them 50-80% mortality rates. CDC characterized legitimate scientific and experiential studies questioning CDC mandates as misinformation.Untold thousands died after these treatments, and the impact of vaccines not performing as indicated is mounting. Dissent questioning the effectiveness of the vaccines and the mandated treatments was censored and people made decisions to take an experimental vaccine without full disclosureof its tremendously unhealthy side effects. Anyone attempting to blow the whistle on this was ostracized. Many lost their jobs, were threatened with losing their licenses to practice medicine. It is a system that betrays scientific autonomy. Obama wants toset up a government regulating body made up of nonelected technology companies, advocacy groups and government officials to �regulate� speech. He considers this cross section as most qualified to determine what kind of speech to allow across social media platforms. This commission would not be concerned with, as Obama puts it, absolute truth or fixed truth, but rather what is �more true.� And he proposes to regulate�translated censor�speechthat attacks his brand of politics because nothing else is �more true.� If the commission considers it �more true� that there was no voter integrity or security issues in an election, all opinions otherwise would be censored. Ephesians 5:6 says, �Let no mandeceive you with vain words: for because of these things comes the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.� The ability to dissent comes from the guaranteed right of free speech. Taking away such right by deceitfully characterizing it as saving democracyby eradicating disinformation is a step toward tyranny. It is, say it with me�Stupidocrisy. --------------------------
