Join US and Protect Free Speech & Free Thought Now
People need the freedom and liberty to speak their mind without fear of censorship or reprisal if their words do not fit with the ideological, political , economic, or religious beliefs of those who have and wield Power. That is a good reason why the Constitution of the United States gave us unalienable rights including freedom of speech, freedom of belief, and freedom of opinion.
Science needs the freedom and liberty to search for the Truth without fear of censorship or reprisal if the Truth does not fit with the ideological, political , economic, or religious beliefs of those who have and wield Power.
Remember that There is Nothing Higher than the Truth, and that We Must Use our Reason to Survive.
When I was a child and first went to school at the age of 5, some kids weren't always nice. Sometimes they teased kids, sometimes they even called them names. I was told by my grandparents that if this should happen to me that:
"Sticks and stones may break your bones but names will never hurt you." This means that mere words cannot harm a person, and a child who is teased or called names or insulted should learn to ignore it. So, I was taught to say to those who would insult and tease me: "Sticks and Stones May Break my Bones but Names will Never Hurt Me"!
We are taught that we can judge a person by their actions AND by their words. So, if someone insults you - it does not reflect badly on you, but rather it reflects badly on the person doing the insulting, doing the name calling, and doing the teasing.
The Constitution of the United States of America guarantees Freedom of Speech. [ Amendment I: "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press" ] Most other modern democracies as well as U.S. states have similar constitutional sections and laws protecting freedom of speech and of the press absolutely. Yet today, in 2021, we find speech and the press being censored on a daily basis: in the United States, in the United Kingdom, in France, in Germany, in Sweden and in almost every "western democracy".
We know that real monarchies (like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Thailand); dictatorships (like China, Russia, North Korea, Turkey and Afghanistan); religious states (like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkey, Israel, and Iran); and communist countries ( like China, Russia, North Korea and Vietnam) all lie, censor and deny their citizens freedom of speech and freedom of the press. We take this for granted, understand this and know not to trust their words. Censorship can have devastating even lethal consequences - as we have seen with communist China's cover-up of the deadly Wuhan virus known as Covid-19 (see WuhanVirus.Info for more on this); Saudia Arabia's recent killing of its critic, Khossoggi, a journalist who had uncovered wrongdoing by the ruling royal family; Pakistan's abominal blasphemy laws that see it killing people for mere words; Iran's disgusting fatwas against author Rushdie and other authors who dare to criticize Islam; Israel's continuing killing of Palistinians (a genocide, in fact - shame on Jews for allowing this after what happened to so many of them during World War II) and continued theft of their lands, the lands they have been living on for millenia; Afghanistan's and other Islamic contries' killing, assaulting, raping and harming their own citizens because of their beliefs, words and opinions; even because of their way of dressing; Islamic Turkey's killing and imprisioning hundreds of thousands of its own citizens for their words and beliefs and desire to live in a democracy which used to have a separation of church and state, and has now sadly become an Islamic Dictatorship. The list is endless.
We see that countries which censor have something to hide. Something bad. Something wrong. Censorship is always linked to something wrong and to corruption. The United States was founded by people who knew that the monarchies and religious dictatorships that were England and other countries in the 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, when America was being colonized and modern America was being formed, were doing something wrong; something unacceptable - namely censoring, thieving, unlawfully seizing property, etc., as well as forcing all people to have the same religious beliefs as the monarch, and to accept the monarch's absolute rule. To accept that the monarch had all the rights - even the right to decide who should live and who should die - and that individuals had no rights at all. The same situations - to varying degrees - exist today in all real monarchies, religious states, dictatorships and communist countries. For the same reasons, because they are doing something bad and wrong. Even "western democracies" censor thier own citizens more and more each year; refusing their own citizens freedom of speech by passing, and having a corrupt judiciary uphold, unconstitutional laws criminalizing speech, by making illegal criticism of certain powerful groups like jews, homosexuals, immigrants, women, feminists, etc., with their unconstitutional "hate speech" laws.
Groups were never meant to have and hold power. In the United States; the Constitution gives all rights and power to individuals - the people. Yet groups have become all-powerful in U.S. politics and in the judiciary, and in France and elsewhere. "Group rights" currently and sadly reign, when the very thought of such a thing would turn Jefferson, Hamilton, Adams, Franklin and Washington over in their graves.
Historically censorship has been used by the very worst and most corrupt and harmful governments in history. Ancient Rome, Ghengis Khan, the Spanish Inquisition, Napoleon, the mass murderers Lenin and Stalin, the Turkish mass killings of Armenians, Nazi Germany, modern day Islamic State, the Taliban and such, horrible Putin and his radioactive poisoning of detractors and his invasion of Ukraine ... the list is endless. Censorship allowed them to consolidate and keep their hold on power. Just like it does for today's corrupt politicians, judges, and the groups which believe themselves to benefit from censorship (Dictators, Monarchs, Religions).
However, to have freedom of speech and freedom of the press abridged in the good old U.S. of A. and in other western democracies is simply intolerable. Yet it has been allowed to happen, and it is getting worse. This censorship and denial of our constitutionally-protected rights and freedoms to say and to publish what we think and believe has been going on for over three to four decades now. How has this been allowed to happen? Corruption. Political and Judicial corruption - is the sad answer. Laws that are unconstitutional have been made by corrupt politicians censoring speech and the press , and corrupt judges have refused to strike down these unconstitutional laws.
The Solution: use, and demand that others use, freedom of speech and freedom of the press as a litmus test for all politicians and judges everywhere. Impeach those existing politicians and judges that do not uphold absolute freedom of speech and of the press; and refuse to elect anyone to any office, or allow any judgeship to be filled by anyone who does not support absolute freedom of speech and absolute freedom of the press, absolutely. It's as simple as that.
Support our challenge to all and any law abridging free speech or freedom of the press, which we hope to present shortly directly to the United States Supreme Court. This should not be necessary, but we find that it is. We should not have to add another amendment to the U.S. Constitution protecting freedom of speech and freedom of the press. These protections were the first rights and protections enumerated in the Bill of Rights (the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution). We just need to get rid of the corrupt politicians and judges who do not uphold the Constitution.
Furthermore, in order to help other countries facing the same problems to resolve their abridgements of constitutionally-guaranteed rights, let us boycott every country which does not allow absolute freedom of speech and absolute freedom of the press. Do not visit those countries, do not buy goods or services made in those countries, and do not do business with nationals of those countries or supporters of those countries, until such time that the country allows absolute freedom of speech and absolute freedom of the press. It's as simple as that. A boycott is an expression of free speech and is an excercise of free speech. Everyone has the Right-to-Boycott.com!

future POTUS - President of the United States, and what is more:
an American.
One of America's greatest and most beloved poets, Robert Frost, wrote a beautiful poem about freedom of speech that all should hear and consider how it applies to their own thoughts, lives, and reactions when they hear speech (bird talk or protestors) that they do not like:
A Minor Bird
I have wished a bird would fly away,
And not sing by my house all day;
Have clapped my hands at him from the door
When it seemed as if I could bear no more.
The fault must partly have been in me.
The bird was not to blame for his key.
And of course there must be something wrong
In wanting to silence any song.
