Deep dives
Biden administration colludes with Amazon to suppress opposing viewpoints
Internal documents obtained by Jim Jordan reveal that the Biden administration has been working with Amazon to address what they call propaganda and misinformation in books. The goal is to suppress opposing viewpoints and control the narrative. Emails show that the administration is concerned about the high levels of propaganda and misinformation on Amazon and wants to limit the promotion of books that question the vaccine or provide alternative perspectives. This blatant censorship is reminiscent of the actions taken by Twitter and other social media platforms. The left accuses the right of censorship and book burning, yet it is the left that is actively engaging in these practices.
Fascist tactics employed by the left
While the left often accuses the right of being fascists, the reality is that the left is employing many fascist tactics. Their focus on exalting the nation and race above the individual, pushing for centralized autocratic government control, suppressing opposition, and engaging in public-private partnerships are all hallmarks of fascism. They use intimidation, fear tactics, and censorship to silence opposing viewpoints and control the narrative. The left accuses the right of many things, but it is clear that they are the ones engaging in these actions.
The hypocrisy of the left's claims
The left accuses the right of not caring about national security, not supporting the poor or immigrants, and wanting chaos in the streets. Yet, it is the left that is compromising national security by allowing unchecked immigration and supporting policies that weaken the border. They claim to care about the poor, but their policies have led to rampant homelessness and poverty in cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco. And they call for social justice and equality while promoting divisive narratives that perpetuate racial tensions. The hypocrisy of their claims is glaring.
The left's assault on free speech and individual rights
One of the most concerning aspects of the left's agenda is their assault on free speech and individual rights. They seek to suppress opposing viewpoints, censor books and media, and silence anyone who disagrees with their narrative. This is not only a violation of our constitutional rights, but it threatens the very foundation of our democracy. The left claims to champion diversity, inclusivity, and tolerance, yet they are the ones actively suppressing diversity of thought, censoring opposing voices, and imposing their own agenda on the American people. It is a dangerous precedent that must be challenged and resisted.
