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 unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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.

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...
