Just listen to what high-profile leftists have been openly saying about denying you your right to information on both sides of the political equation.
Former presidential candidate and Obama Secretary of State John Kerry
has gotten the most attention recently, mainly because of how bluntly he railed against our most fundamental freedom. But former Clinton
Secretary of Labor Robert Reich has been just as repressive—and more detailed. And Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has been her usual
self as she demands censorship without much specificity.
Kerry made his comments at a World Economic Forum panel on green energy
on Sept. 25. A conservative comedian trying to satirize the views of the haughty ruling class could not have come up with better material.
As Kerry put it, “The dislike of and anger over social media is just growing and growing and growing, and it’s part of our problem,
particularly in democracies, in terms of building consensus around any issue,” Kerry lamented, apparently referring to abhorrence of freedom by members of his ilk.
“It’s really hard to govern today!” The problem, he said, was that the internet and social media have liberated people to choose from different sources of information, adding competition. Little over two decades ago,
the country was held hostage to the views of the journalists working at
three networks and a handful of national newspapers.
Kerry pines for those days. “The referees we used to have to determine what’s a fact, and what isn’t a fact, have been eviscerated to a certain degree, and people self-select, where they go for their news, or for
their information, and you get into a vicious cycle,” said the man who
came within 19 Electoral College votes of becoming president in 2004.
“So, it’s really, really hard, much harder, to build consensus today
than at any time in the 40 to 50 years I’ve been involved in this.”
He continued, “There is a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities, if people go to only one source, and the source they go to is
sick and has an agenda and it’s putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to hammer it out of existence.”
Kerry’s solution?
What we need is to win the ground, win the right to govern by hopefully winning enough votes that you’re free to be able to implement change. … Democracies are very challenged right now, and have not proven that they
can move fast enough, or big enough, to deal with the challenges that we
are facing, and to me, this is part of what this race, this election is
all about—will we break the fever in the United States?
Reich also discussed his desire to hammer persnickety sources of
information out of existence with a global audience. Writing in the
leading newspaper of the British Left, The Guardian, he engaged in a bit
of disinformation himself by mischaracterizing the actions of the man
he’d like hammered out, X owner Elon Musk.
Musk and former President Donald Trump “have both floated the idea of governing together if Trump wins a second term,” wrote Reich, whereas,
in fact, as Reich admitted himself, all Musk has done is recommend that
Trump have in a second term a “government efficiency commission” in
which Musk “would be happy to help out.” But apparently unaware that he was committing the same crime he accused Musk to be guilty of, Reich
went on with his recommendation for how officials around the world
should “rein in Musk.”
The first one was for people to boycott Musk’s electric vehicle, Tesla,
and his social media company, X. But Reich wants much more. “Regulators around the world should threaten Musk with arrest if he doesn’t stop disseminating lies and hate on X,” he wrote. As for the U.S. government,
it “should terminate its contracts with him, starting with Musk’s SpaceX,” wrote Reich, who published his screed weeks before the U.S. government had to come to SpaceX, hat in hand, asking it to retrieve two astronauts stranded by NASA.
Ocasio-Cortez has been far less trenchant and specific. The young representative, who’s been repeatedly dinged by left-leaning PolitiFact
for spreading falsehoods, also wants to “rein in” media she considers guilty of spreading misinformation.
“We’re going to have to figure out how we rein in our media environment so that you can’t just spew disinformation and misinformation,” she posted on social media. “It’s one thing to have different opinions, but it’s another thing entirely to just say things that are false, so that

As fraud scandals erupt in Minnesota on Gov. Tim Walz’s watch, accountability is in short supply

That Kamala Harris. She's sure got a lot of "values."
We're all familiar with her paradoxical claim that despite having flip-flopped on many positions—including her previous adamant desire to
ban fracking and decriminalize illegal border crossings—her "values
haven't changed."
Appearing on Sunday's CNN State of the Union, Harris surrogate Mark
Kelly, a Dem senator from Arizona, professed Kamala's allegiance to the "values" of two disparate electoral groups.
Discussing Harris' poor polling among Latino voters in Arizona, Kelly
told host Dana Bash that "Harrison-Walz are committed to their values."
Earlier in the show, Bash mentioned that Kelly was speaking from
Dearborn, Michigan, with its large population of Muslims and
Arab-Americans. Bash noted the "frustration" of many people there with
the Biden-Harris' support for Israel, and asked Kelly for his message to voters there thinking of sitting out the election or voting Republican.
In reply, Kelly said that Muslim voters there shouldn't even think of
voting Republican, and that—you guessed it—Harris "is committed to their values."
Which raises the question: just which values of those Muslim and Arab-American voters in Dearborn, and in the US at large, is Harris "committed to?"
Are they the "values" of Kamala's fellow Democrat, Abdullah H. Hammoud,
the Mayor of Dearborn? In a New York Times "guest essay," Hammoud
couldn't even bring himself to say the words, "the creation of the State
of Israel." Instead, he used the Arabic term, the "nakba," meaning "catastrophe," to describe it.
Or could they be the "values" of Tareq Baconi, the head of the
Palestinian Policy Network, who in his New York Times "guest essay"--see
a pattern here?--said the only realistic solution for the area is "from
the river to the sea" -- meaning the total destruction of the Jewish
state of Israel?
Or what about the "values" of American Muslims at large, a majority of
whom, according to this study, believe that Hamas' October 7 terror
attack on Israel was "justified."
So, just which of those Muslim/Arab-American "values" does Kamala
support? American voters are dying to know!
Note: As you'll see in the video, Kelly's tone was very condescending
to Muslim voters in telling them "they shouldn't be considering [sitting
out or voting Republican.] They should be voting for Kamala Harris."
Here's the transcript.

DANA BASH: Senator, you are in Dearborn, Michigan right now. There is a
large Arab-American population there, very open about its frustration
with the Biden-Harris administration's support for Israel's retaliatory
war in Gaza. Tensions are even higher because a U.S. citizen from
Dearborn was killed as part of an Israeli strike in Lebanon.
What is your message to Muslim and Arab-American voters there who are seriously considering either sitting out this election or voting
Republican?
MARK KELLY: Well, they shouldn't be considering that. They should be
voting for Kamala Harris. I mean, she is committed to their values. She
met with them, many in the Muslim and the Arab community here earlier in
the week to talk about the issues that they care about. And certainly,
peace in the Middle East is at the top of the list.
And the American citizen that was killed in Lebanon, you know, that is tragic. Kamala Harris also understands that loss of life in any
conflict, innocent loss of life, is a tragic situation. And I know she's
the person that's ready to deal with this on day one.
