Speaking is indistinguishable from thinking. If you don't have the freedom to speak, you no longer have the freedom to think.
Let that set in a bit. One of the problems we are facing with censorship, cancelling and the politicization of every ounce of our lives is that people don't fully understand that speech is simply one more aspect of how we think. Thinking is comprised of three elements: thinking, speaking and writing. We sort through ideas and come to agreed upon thoughts by doing all three of these things. Take away the freedom for people to speak and you take away their ability to think at full capacity.
The fact that these articles were the "Top Stories" on Apple News when I sat down at my desk this morning, would be comical if it wasn't so scary. Our neighbors to the north have officially fallen into the hands of a dictator and that's not top news. It's worth mentioning, I don't defer to Apple News for my information but of course, I use an Apple computer so I am not allowed to remove their News app from my navigation bar.
A few weeks ago, I traveled to Austin to listen to and meet Dr. Jordan B. Peterson. It happened to be the day before the truckers were scheduled to descend on Ottawa. As a Canadian, and one of the greatest intellectuals of our time, he had insight into the situation in Canada he was anxious to share with the audience. A few things most of you probably did not know, which I didn't know either until his talk, is that Canadians are not allowed to travel, anywhere without being vaccinated. Nowhere! That means they cannot even travel to see family, friends or take care of business in a neighboring province. Canada has an extremely large land mass, with a relatively small population. Travel is extremely important in their lives. While their Prime Minister seems to hate people who are not vaccinated, he will not let them leave the country. Stop and think about that...if he thinks the unvaccinated are the scourge on society, why not let them leave? After all, that would rid him and his fellow countrymen of these disease ridden creatures. Doesn't make much sense now does it?
He also shared with us that a gentleman by the name of Brian Peckford, the only living Minister who was involved in drafting the Canadian Charter of Rights during the 1980's, is bringing a lawsuit against the Canadian government because he is concerned with the lack of Constitutionality of their actions . Mr. Peckford used Jordan's podcast to make the announcement because he didn't believe the information would be properly represented by any news outlet within Canada. This Charter of Rights would be the equivalent to our Bill of Rights, so this would be like James Madison, if still alive today, taking our government to court over the Constitutionality of their actions. Mind blowing.
Yet, this situation unfolding in Canada isn't top news? If you see any coverage at all it is most likely depictions of so-called rebel "occupiers" who are shutting down the entire country and honking their annoying horns. This should leave you feeling insulted. Why isn't this top news around the world? Rather than getting frustrated or blowing it off as ridiculous, you need to ask why? Why don't media outlets want you to know that the very basic rights and freedoms of the gentle, overwhelmingly passive people of Canada are being stripped of them right before our eyes? If you ever question someone's intent, look at the results and that will give you a pretty good idea as to their intent.
As a resident of Northern Idaho, Canada is a mere 90 miles from here. The tyranny occurring there is a little too close to home for my liking. As I sit, going about my business, the Canadian people who were free to live their lives only 2 years ago are now being arrested for playing hockey outdoors. They are forbidden to travel WITHIN their own country. If they stand up in peaceful protest, their bank accounts are being seized. If someone so much as donated more than $25.00 they are subject to their financial resources being confiscated.
And our President's response to this? He encourages Justin Trudeau to "use his federal powers to crush the Freedom Convoy." Yep, that's the leader of the free world encouraging a dictator to crush his own people. The benign, unifying grandpa who stands up for the "working man", supporting an elitist, power hungry coward's initiative to demolish the truckers, whose backs all of us rely upon to live.
This isn't about going to restaurants or kids being masked in schools; this is about a tyrannical government placing it's citizens under martial law for holding opposing views. All of this has unfolded in approximately 2 years, under the guise of public safety. No matter your thoughts on the pandemic, you have a responsibility to think about how rapidly this has unfolded into tyrannical governments being not only accepted, but encouraged.
If you didn't know most of this before you read this article, you had better wake up. Stop getting your news from the main stream media. Any journalist or writer with integrity has left that domain. Anyone who is committed to free speech and truth isn't welcome there anymore.
Your ability to speak and think for yourself is controlled by the information you receive. The days of minding your own business and turning a blind eye to what doesn't directly impact you are long gone. What is happening north of us is encouraged by our own President, so you're a fool if you don't think it's coming to you next.
If you don't where know to start, I'd suggest getting your information from Substack. A vast number of credible journalists and experts have turned to Substack to disseminate their uncensored information.
Be aware, you will have to subscribe to receive credible information. Writers (like myself) have to get paid! The news you receive from MSM is "free" because YOU are the product. They give you free, censored, downright false information and make their money from advertisers, selling you more shit you don't need. If you want truth, if you want media to change, you have to support those of us willing to change it.
You get what you pay for.
