I think Kerry's prime motivation for this plea to kill the 1st Amendment is the fact he was forced to sell his private jet recently due to widespread accusations of hypocrisy which spread via social media. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/john-kerry-family-private-jet-sold-shortly-after-accusations-climate-hypocrisy

Of course the sale from one company to another company followed by an application to prohibit flight tracking of the jet absolutely does not indicate that Kerry McClimateTsar is trying to pull a fast one and eat his cake while having it too.

As "Big Daddy" put it:

"What's that smell in this room? Didn't you notice it, Brick? Didn't you notice a powerful and obnoxious odor of mendacity in this room?... There ain't nothin' more powerful than the odor of mendacity... You can smell it. It smells like death."

And as Mark Twain is reputed to have said:

"Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason."

Apropos of which, Andrew Sullivan lays out the many flaws on both sides of the Harris-Trump divide -- before throwing his lot in with Harris:

Still not sure myself whether or not Trump is still the proverbial lesser of two weevils -- a sentiment apparently shared by a significant percentage of the American public.

I don't envy the U.S this November. Speaking as a female though, Harris makes my skin crawl. Call it female intuition but I'm convinced she doesn't have a soul. Of course that may simply be because she is incapable of stringing a sentence together that the rest of humankind can understand.

"Speaking as a Canadian 😉🙂", nor do I envy Americans in a month -- nor in the aftermath.

But definitely sympathize with your view of Harris -- at best something of a weathervane which turns any which way the wind is blowing. And that she and the Democrats apparently endorse the mantra "trans women are women" betrays, at best, a bedrock biological cluelessness if not a profound intellectual dishonesty that goes clear to the bone. If I were voting I'm not sure that I wouldn't see that as the proverbial kiss of death.

Aussie/UK lawyer and Substacker Helen Dale had interviewed Helen Joyce and Maya Forstater some months ago, and the Helens more or less agreed that transgenderism is a "civilization threatening/ending movement". Hard to dispute that argument given the pervasive and toxic consequences of that ideology:

This is a classic example of one of the demons saying the quiet bit out loud, for everyone to hear.

I'm sure there'll be some huffing and puffing and Sir Humphrey-esque "oh I was taken out of context" bullshido, but the truth is that these spawn of Satan want us locked up, controlled and subdued, and one of the ways they do that is via their control of the mainstream media.

Everything that we can do strike back against them is worthwhile, and that includes supporting Dr Rigger and other Substack warriors for truth in their work.

More power to your arm, Sir. Keep the truth-bombs coming.

Bizarrely, the kind of “consensus” Kerry and Walz and their ilk are selling is ultimately self-destructive. This isn’t “we unanimously elect George Washington president” or “Rosie the riveter and victory gardens” — this is “we are bad, we are guilty, we must atone and it will never be enough so just give up, let us print and distribute worthless money and eventually let the hard-working people of the world who don’t really care if their ancestors were assholes or if they’re destroying the environment take over because they have already captured us and — oh haha check out this tik tok video.”

Lurching in fifth gear it feels like, given what the EU is up to.

"Those non-democracies where they can censor and punish and jail people for saying the ‘wrong’ stuff"

Sweden, UK, Germany. . . ?

Because in all three you can and will go to prison if you post certain facts online, even if your claims are sourced from official state data-bases or sources of scientific consensus, or if you simply reference what someone else has said.

But then, (global) capitalism has hated democracy, freedom of speech/expression/thought, and one man-one vote as well as freedom of association - all since the early 19th century.

I’ve disliked this dude since I heard he was sneaking around the world, undermining President Trump. Glad he lost his plane, although now I suppose the taxpayers will be paying for his first class tickets. My educated good friend says times have changed, and thinks the Constitution needs to be re-written. I said it needs to be re-read. My friend sees nothing wrong with the government controlling speech, unless of course Trump is elected. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I am not al that sure he has "lost" his plane. Could be that's what he wants us to think, but through some sleight of hand, will continue with his business as usual. I smell Machiavelli or at least his younger, uglier brother.
