If Successful, This Will Mark The End Of The Republic (And Prosperity)

Free speech isn’t a nice-to-have.  It is the cornerstone of democracy. Which means it’s essential for freedom, and therefore prosperity too. Free speech is currently under powerful attacks from people who are either malignant or ignorant. Either way, not healthy actors within the body politic.

The war on free speech is as unnecessary as it is potentially destructive to our future prosperity.

So maybe we should discuss the efforts to dispense with free speech before irreversible damage occurs.

Mike Benz had a very erudite and comprehensive interview on Tucker Carlson’s show recently where he laid out the massive enterprise afoot to undermine if not entirely limit free speech.

The reason for these efforts is simply that people, when given access to real information, do not support the various schemes and grifts of the power brokers who, in turn, find that unacceptable.

So rather than attempt to persuade people of their ideas, they instead seek to block the free flow of ideas, even going so far as to define true but inconvenient (for them) speech as ‘malinformation.’

How did we get here?  Slowly, then all at once.

When it comes to having a shared sense of the future, we are broke.  Sadly, the instinct of the machinery of state is to shut down anybody who dares to point out just how badly things are actually going.

Which means we’d better come to grips with (1) the severity of the problem (it’s bad) and (2) the ways in which perverse incentives are driving our professional classes to do things that benefit them and them only.

A case in point is doctors who receive large monetary rewards for vaccinating specific volumes of their patients while failing to disclose this massive conflict of interest.
