JOHN KERRY VS. THE FIRST AMENDMENT
There are few individuals and politicians more loathsome than John Kerry, a dishonorable, smug, self-righteous, sanctimonious, untrustworthy, opportunistic, hypocritical, aloof elitist who epitomizes progressive communist democrat establishment politics.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum’s Sustainable Development Impact Meetings in Davos, Switzerland, former Secretary of State and America’s first designated Climate Envoy bemoans a “crisis” of governance arising from various voices expressing their opinions.
And I think the dislike of and anguish 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. It’s really hard to govern today. [OCS: Yes! It’s hard to govern when the regime’s crafted and preferred narrative, grounded in truth or not, is challenged by ordinary individuals whose access to social media amplifies their voice and allows them to connect with others of like minds.] You can’t, you know, there’s no, the referees we used to have to determine what’s a fact and kind of, you know, been eviscerated to a certain degree. And people go and people self-select where they go for their news or for their information. And then you just get into a vicious cycle. [OCS: To a significant extent, the gatekeepers, often currying favor with the regime in power, have been nullified by social media. Especially when it is a corporatized media that has abandoned all journalistic ethics and has become propagandists spreading the narrative of the day. A media that has lost all credibility when they became hostile to other perspectives from well-educated, well-credentialed, and well-experienced individuals with a counter-narrative. Censoring them or canceling access to their so-called “open” forums where ideas could be expressed and debated in the disinfecting sunlight. There is no mystery why these media propagandists lost audience share and, by extension, influence over public opinion. The only vicious cycle is one of lies, cover-ups of those lies, and more lies about the lies.] So it’s really, really hard, much harder to build consensus today than at any time in the 45, 50 years I’ve been involved in this. And, you know, there’s a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities in order to guarantee that you’re going to have, you know, some accountability on facts, et cetera. But look, if people go to only one source and the source they go to is sick and, you know, has an agenda and they’re putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just, you know, hammer it out of existence. [OCS: Science is a process of systematic skepticism, not a process of consensus, as it takes only one person to challenge the existing narrative and destroy an entire false framework. Unfortunately, politics is not fact-based; where a consensus is reached by self-motivated sellouts and buy-ins. This brings us to the crux of the matter: how disinformation is defined. From the regime’s viewpoint, disinformation is not based strictly on the objective truth but on the “official narrative” offered by your elite betters, who allegedly have the wisdom and moral authority to interfere in your life for your better life or some societal benefit. Be thankful for the wisdom of James Madison and our founding fathers, who created the First Amendment to preserve your rights against an intrusive government. That’s right, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”] So what you need, what we need is to win the ground, win the right to govern by hopefully having, you know, winning enough votes that you’re free to be able to implement change. Now, obviously, there are some people in our country who are prepared to implement change in other ways. And that’s where we’re dangerous. [OCS: What Kerry refers to as "some people" is that they are non-governmental people who are not in the ruling regime and are not promoting the official narrative. And truth be told, his words should be construed in a different light. There are some people in our [government] who are prepared to implement change in other ways. And that’s when [government] is dangerous. Consider that Kerry’s party just disenfranchised millions of primary voters to hand-pick an incompetent, inauthentic, and, quite frankly, stupid nominee for the President of the United States. And spied on, prosecuted, and persecuted an opposition candidate for adhering to the historical norms of practical politics.] Well, democracy can survive unregulated social media. I think democracies are very challenged right now and have not proven they can move fast enough or big enough to deal with the challenges that we are facing. And to me, that is part of what this race, this election is all about. [OCS: Consider what he is really saying, Can the progressive communist democrats expand fast enough to overcome the civil rights of its citizens and ensure perpetual political power.] Will we break the fever in the United States? [OCS: The real question is, Will the progressive communist democrats break the United States? Perhaps Leonardo da Vinci best characterized John Kerry when he said, “The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.”] |
Bottom line…
I don’t like John Kerry, and, for me, he is the type of hypocritical, flip-flopping political opportunist who sees nothing wrong with flying around the globe on a private jet while lecturing us about the sacrifices we have to make in the name of global climate control.
I regard his 1971 Congressional testimony, where he accused American forces of committing atrocities, as deeply offensive.
I regard his role in negotiating the Iran nuclear deal, the so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, as treacherous and treasonous as it allows a hostile foreign power that chants “Death to America” to build nuclear weapons and a ballistic missile delivery system capable of striking the continental United States.
We are so screwed.
