Government censorship is a greater threat than ‘disinformation’
By Douglas Murray

“Disinformation” is once again in the news.

On one side are people who say that if something sounds like a fake news story and smells like a fake news story, then it is indeed a fake news story.

On the other side are people who say that if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it’s probably already been eaten by a Haitian immigrant.

Whom to believe?

In any normal period, it would be fairly easy to work out what is going on.

In a story like the one from Springfield, Ohio, people make claims, the media investigate them and then everyone decides whom they believe.

But whom can you believe today?

The government running up $35T in debt is the biggest threat of all.

I don't think many understand that if we collapse into a 3rd world hell hole, Free speech is not going to be the No. 1 priority.
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.  Note:  Posts may also be allegorical in nature, and not literal.

PSSSTTT !!!
Catfish...
Got a message for ya.

We are indeed on a path of "collapsing into a 3rd world hell hole".
But... the debt actually has little to do with that.

It's not $35 trillion dollars that's going to destroy America...
Rather, it's 45,000,000 illegals from third-world countries.

Import the third world... BECOME the third world.
Ask those folks up in Springfield OH about that...
