Both American political parties agree that free speech must be extinguished

18 September 2025

We are a nation so self-destructively ignorant . . .

. . . that we do not even understand the principles underlying our own Constitution.

For example

In American cultural cowardice's attempts to dismantle the Constitution's free speech amendment, first came the War on Drugs.

Followed by the War against Terrorism.

Both obliterating much of the Fourth Amendment.

Then came the Democratic Party's war against the political 'right'.

This representing an all-out assault against the First Amendment. As well as including the substitution of DoubleSpeak for English.

And now, in purported response to that and more, comes the Republican Party's war against the cultural left's hypocritically claimed right to speak freely:

It’s probably worth flagging the fact that the president of the United States [Trump] is promoting the establishment of a Ministry of Truth to restrict speech in a suggested law called the “Charlie Kirk Act”.

[G]iving the government the authority to penalize propaganda and lies means giving the government the authority to determine what constitutes propaganda and lies.

The American right’s frenzied emotional hysteria about the murder of Charlie Kirk has them promoting an initiative that is not meaningfully different from the Ministry of Truth proposed under the Biden administration’s “Disinformation Governance Board”, which was aborted after massive public outcry from the right.

And that was just three years ago.

Because we live in a corporatist state . . .

. . . meaning one in which government and business fascistically cooperate to loot and oppress We the People — hammer-fisted government Stalinism can 'happily' be end-run with a its less obvious 'private' substitute.

Thus, the American Establishment often effects its will by having The Grand Plutocracy's money masters fire the people that the Military Industrial Globalist Oligarchy does not like.

And so . . .

At the message-sending level, comedian Jimmy Kimmel recently got himself booted from ABC for hypothesizing, on air, in arguably bad and factually incorrect taste:

Jimmy Kimmel‘s latest monologue has ignited a political firestorm and resulted in ABC suspending the show.

Kimmel’s comments about the Charlie Kirk shooting during Tuesday’s show drew condemnation from Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr.

That, in turn, prompted one group of ABC affiliates, owned by Nexstar Media Group, to declare they will not air Jimmy Kimmel Live! for the immediate future, which then led ABC to announce the show was being taken off the air “indefinitely.”

The uproar started after Kimmel said suspected Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson was a MAGA Republican. “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said.

Now obviously

No one doing business via the 'air waves' wants the Federal Communications Commission to target them for purported license and use violations.

And thus, even the obnoxiously prominent Jimmy Kimmel got the axe.

The Oligarchy's wider-than-just-that message being:

Beware, little people.

We can get you, too.

Corporatist Stalinism at its most obvious

Notice beneath this impoverishment-aimed power grab, the US Supreme Court's enabling and structure-forming hand.

Blatantly to wit, Citizens United v. FEC, 558 U.S. 310 (2010).

In which the Court essentially declared that corporations are 'people' in all governmentally meaningful First Amendment ways.

Thereby displaying the Constitution-destroying nature of the same Court that (in 1803) accorded itself the monumental power to yea or nay whatever the other two branches of government did.

This 'supreme' level of societal overview and command, it implicitly claimed — then and now — is necessary to save the Constitution from the machinations of evil politicians, bad people and the mob-natured public.

Do notice that it is this same institutional body that regularly dodges adjudicating core Constitutional issues. Evidently doing so on the cowardly grounds that it might inadvertently add itself to Thomas Jefferson's 'blood of patriots and tyrants'.

Moral and physical spinelessness characterizes most of America's ruling class.

From decades of these and similar happenings

A reasonable person might begin to ponder the actual — rather than self-servingly propagandized — nature of American culture.

And, lo . . .

Enter Islamist thinker, Shahid Bolsen.

Gifted with a rapidly processing and insightful mind, Bolsen recently dissected US culture rather skillfully, while addressing a viewer's request that he discuss the implications of Charlie Kirk's murder.

In doing so, Bolsen made a prediction about future American societal behavior that vaulted itself into being rapidly proven, almost as soon as he uttered it:

They will use his death to make every dissenting voice, every cry for a more just world — they will paint with the same bloody brush.

They're going to use his death to avoid, once again, ever having to look in the mirror.

They are going to hold Charlie Kirk's body up as a shield against any examination of the society that created him. And the society that created his killer. The society that they made and they rule.

And you [meaning the killer] didn't do anything now but strengthen their hold on that society.

They are going to use his corpse as a pulpit to preach from. And you just validated all of the lies that they're going to be preaching.

The Charlie Kirks of the world are not the enemy [here no doubt referring to Kirk's long support of Israel's genocide of Palestinians].

The enemy is the society. It's the system. It's the power structure.

It's the so-called civilization that creates boys like Charlie Kirk.

I call him a boy because that's what he is to me. I'm 54 years old . . . . And also because he presented a childish, simplistic, cartoon portrait of America that only a young boy could ever believe in.

The killer and the killed are the product of the same sick society . . . .

The machine is already spinning. They're spinning the narrative now.

They're gonna label him a martyr.

A martyr for free speech. A victim of left wing extremism.

They're going to use his death to demand more surveillance, more censorship, more policing, more militarization of the police against their opponents — you know — more police powers.

They're going to use his blood to sanitize his ideology and legitimize every poisonous thing that he ever said.

Of Bolsen's presentation . . .

. . . a British expatriate (working in Russia) cogently stated that:

Shahid Bolsen’s reflection on the assassination of Charlie Kirk cuts deeper than the headlines. He begins with a striking observation:

“Charlie Kirk makes American number 18,533 shot and killed this year. And yet the flags in America are going to fly half-mast not for those 18,532 other victims, but for him.”

That single contrast forces us to confront the uncomfortable truth: in the United States, grief is not universal. It is rationed, selective, and political. Thousands of ordinary lives disappear without ceremony, while one death is elevated to national spectacle.

The West wants to present itself as a global moral authority, but the reality is far more disturbing. A society that normalizes mass shootings while sanctifying a single figure is a society that has lost its compass.

The selective lowering of flags is not mourning — it is propaganda.

The deeper tragedy is not Kirk’s death, but what it reveals about America itself. A nation collapsing under the weight of its own contradictions, incapable of valuing human life except when politically useful.

“America sanctifies death only when it serves power. Everything else is silence.”

That truth should trouble anyone who still believes the West speaks with moral authority.

The moral? — Exactly so

Ours has become a culture based on emotionally driven, easily manipulated, willfully ignorant, mass-murdering, self-enslaving mindlessness.

Precisely because US political culture is so viciously moronic, the majority of Americans do not value — and do not care to forcibly preserve — the protections that the Constitution attempted to provide them.

Recall Benjamin Franklin's 1787 admonition, 'A republic, if you can keep it.'

And further note Franklin's previously recorded (and accurately sour) assessment of humanity's basic nature:

I confess that there are several parts of this Constitution which I do not at present approve, but I am not sure I shall never approve them.

For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information, or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which I once thought right, but found to be otherwise.

It is therefore that, the older I grow, the more apt I am to doubt my own judgment, and to pay more respect to the judgment of others.

In these sentiments, Sir, I agree to this Constitution, with all its faults, if they are such; because I think a General Government necessary for us, and there is no form of government, but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered; and believe further, that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic government.

As Franklin predicted — after 'a course of years', human corruption and governmental despotism have gobbled the United States.

Sadly, with a deeply fragmented and intentionally engineered 'diverse' population of 347 million, corruption and despotism are not going to depart.

We can safely conclude that swamp of globalist-oriented parasites that control us will not drain itself into becoming culturally respect-worthy ground.

'Blood of patriots and tyrants' has — predictably — gone absent.

Moral cowardice is humanity's most fundamental characteristic. It feeds on fear and stupidity.
