thedcclothesline--2020-07-03--THE PURGE: THE NATURAL PROGRESSION OF “WOKE” CENSORSHIP IS TYRANNY

As I have noted in the past , in order to be a conservative one has to stick to certain principles .
For example , you have to stand against big government and state intrusions into individual lives , you have to support our constitutional framework and defend civil liberties , and you also have to uphold the rights of private property .
Websites are indeed private property , as much as a person ’ s home is private property .
There is no such thing as free speech rights in another person ’ s home , and there is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on a website .
That said , there are some exceptions .
When a corporation or a collective of corporations holds a monopoly over a certain form of communication , then legal questions come into play when they try to censor the viewpoints of an entire group of people .
Corporations exist due to government sponsored charters ; they are creations of government and enjoy certain legal protections through government , such as limited liability and corporate personhood .
Corporations are a product of socialism , not free market capitalism ; and when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to regulation and possible demarcation .
Many corporations have also received extensive government bailouts ( taxpayer money ) and corporate welfare .
Google and Facebook , for example rake in billions in state and federal subsidies over the course of a few years .
Google doesn ’ t even pay for the massive bandwidth it uses .
So , it is not outlandish to suggest that if a company receives the full protection of government from the legal realm to the financial realm then they fall under the category of a public service @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to monopolize communication while also being coddled by the government as “ too big to fail ” , then they become a public menace instead .
This is not to say that I support the idea of nationalization .
On the contrary , the disasters of socialism can not be cured with even more socialism .
However , monopolies are a poison to free markets and to free speech and must be deconstructed or abolished .
take our poll - story continues below Beyond corporate monopolies , there is also the danger of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vast majority of silicon valley companies that control the lion ’ s share of social media platforms are run by extreme political leftists and globalists that are openly hostile to conservative and moderate values .
Case in point : Three of the largest platforms on the internet – Reddit , Twitch , and YouTube just acted simultaneously in a single day to shut down tens of thousands of forums , streamers and video channels , the majority of which espouse conservative arguments which the media refers to as “ hate speech ” .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ few of the outlets shut down probably argue from a position of race superiority .
However , I keep seeing the mainstream media making accusations that all the people being silenced right now deserve it due to “ racism ” and “ calls for violence ” , and I have yet to see them offer a single piece of evidence supporting any of these claims .
A recent article from the hyper-leftist Salon is a perfect example of the hypocrisy and madness of the social justice left in action .
It ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Punished Trump And Other Racists – And That ’ s A Great Thing For Freedom ’ .
Here are a few excerpts with my commentary : Salon : “ Freedom is impossible for everyone when viewpoints prevail that dehumanize anyone .
And it appears that several big social media platforms agree , judging from recent bans or suspensions of racist accounts across YouTube , Twitch , and Reddit.
” Freedom can not be taken away by another person ’ s viewpoint .
Every individual has complete control over whether or not they “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disapproval can silence a person unless they allow it to .
If you are weak minded or weak willed , then grow a backbone instead of expecting the rest of the world to stay quiet and keep you comfortable .
Remember when the political left was the bastion of the free speech debate against the censorship of the religious right ?
Well , now the leftists have a religion ( or cult ) of their own and they have changed their minds on the importance of open dialogue .
Salon : “ For @ @ @ @ @ @ @ racism , sexism , classism , ableism , anti-LGBTQ sentiment or any other prejudices — their voices are diminished or outright silenced , and in the process they lose their ability to fully participate in our democracy .
We all need to live in a society where hate is discouraged , discredited and whenever possible scrubbed out completely from our discourse .
This doesn ’ t mean we should label all ideas as hateful simply because we disagree with them ; to do that runs afoul of President Dwight Eisenhower ’ s famous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is the breath of life ” .
When actual hate enters the dialogue , however , it acts as a toxic smoke in the air of debate , suffocating some voices and weakening the rest.
” Where do I begin with this steaming pile of woke nonsense ?
First , it ’ s impossible to be “ dehumanized ” by another person ’ s opinion of you .
If they are wrong , or an idiot , then their opinion carries no weight and should be ignored .
Your value is not determined @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be “ silenced ” by another person ’ s viewpoint unless they allow themselves to be silenced .
If they are right about you and are telling you something you don ’ t want to hear , then that is your problem , not theirs .
No one in this world is entitled to protection from other people ’ s opinions .
Period .
It should not surprise anyone though that leftists are actively attempting to silence all dissent while accusing conservatives of stifling free speech .
This is what they do ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to victimize .
They have no principles .
They do not care about being right , they only care about “ winning ” .
Under the 1st Amendment , ALL speech is protected , including what leftists arbitrarily label “ hate speech ” .
Unless you are knowingly defaming a specific person or threatening specific violence against a specific person , your rights are protected .
Interpreting broad speech as a “ threat ” because of how it might make certain people feel simply will not hold up in a court of law @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not hold up… Political leftists have declared themselves the arbiters of what constitutes “ hate speech ” , the problem is they see EVERYTHING that is conservative as racist , sexist , misogynistic , etc .
No human being or group of human beings is pure enough or objective enough to sit in judgment of what encompasses fair or acceptable speech .
Therefore , all speech must be allowed in order to avoid tyranny .
If an idea is unjust , then by all means , the political left has every right to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ arguments .
“ Scrubbing ” all opposing ideas from the public discourse is unacceptable , and this is exactly what the social justice movement is attempting to do .
If you want to erase these ideas from your own home , or your personal website , then you are perfectly within your rights to do so , but you DO NOT have the right to assert a monopoly on speech and the political narrative .
Generally , when a group of zealots is trying to erase opposing ideals from the discussion , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t hold up to scrutiny .
If your ideology is so pure and correct in its form , there should be no need to trick the masses into accepting it by scrubbing the internet .
Finally , America was not founded as a democracy , we are a republic , and with good reason .
A democracy is tyranny by the majority ; a collectivist hell where power is centralized into the hands of whoever can con 51 % of the population to their side .
Marxists and communists love the idea of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ often because they think they are keenly equipped to manipulate the masses and form a majority .
But , in a republic , individual rights are protected REGARDLESS of what the majority happens to believe at any given time , and this includes the right to free speech .
In the same breath , Salon pretends to value free discussion , then calls for the destruction of free speech and opposing ideas in the name of protecting people ’ s thin-skinned sensitivities .
In other words , free speech is good , unless @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t like , then it becomes hate speech and must be suppressed .
Salon : “ Reddit referred Salon to a statement explaining , ” We committed to closing the gap between our values and our policies to explicitly address hate ” and that “ ultimately , it ’ s our responsibility to support our communities by taking stronger action against those who try to weaponize parts of Reddit against other people.
” ” In other words , they don ’ t like conservatives using their platforms against them , and since @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any valid arguments to defend their beliefs and they are losing the culture war , they are going for broke and seeking to erase all conservatives from their platforms instead .
The “ hate speech ” excuse is merely a false rationale .
Social justice warriors stand on top of a dung heap and pretend it ’ s the moral high ground .
Salon : “ No one who understands Constitutional law can argue that these corporate decisions violate the First Amendment which only protects speech from government repression .
Professor Rick Hasen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Law School told Salon by email that “ private companies running websites are not subject to being sued for violating the First Amendment .
The companies are private actors who can include whatever content they want unless there is a law preventing them from doing so.
” Again , this is not entirely true .
Corporations are constructs of government and receive special privileges from government .
If corporations form a monopoly over a certain form of communication and they attempt to censor all opposing views from that platform then they can be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the marketplace .
Also , government can rescind the limited liability and corporate personhood of these companies as punishment for violating the public trust .
And finally , any company that relies on taxpayer dollars or special tax break incentives to survive can and should have those dollars taken away when attempting to assert a monopoly .
Yes , there are alternative platforms for people to go to , but what is to stop leftist/globalist monopolies from buying up every other social media and standard media platform ( as they have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ What is to stop leftist/globalist interests from using the “ hate speech ” argument to put pressure on ALL other web platforms including service and domain providers to cancel conservatives ?
Finally , just because something is technically legal does not necessarily make it right .
Corporations exploit government protection , yet claim they are not subject to government regulation ?
The left hates corporate America , yet they happily defend corporations when they are censoring conservatives ?
This is insane .
The Salon author then goes on a blathering diatribe about how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( all SJWs measure personal value according to how much more victimized someone is compared to others ) .
His claims are irrelevant to the argument at hand , then he continues… Salon : “ Trump threatening to use the government power to retaliate against those companies , on the other hand , is a threat to both the letter and the spirit of the First Amendment .
He and his supporters are not being stopped from disseminating their views on other platforms… ” Here is the only area where I partially agree @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know I do not put any faith in Donald Trump to do the right thing , mostly because of the elitists he surrounds himself with in his cabinet .
When it comes down to it , Trump will act in THIER best interests , not in the public ’ s best interests .
Giving him ( or the FCC ) the power to dictate speech rules on the internet is a bad idea .
Also , for those that think the election process still matters , what if we gift such powers to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ left enters the White House tomorrow ?
Yikes !
Then we ’ ll have no room to complain as they will most certainly flip-flop and use government power to silence their opposition .
Of course , if the roles were reversed and corporations were deplatforming thousands of social justice forums and videos , the leftists would be screaming bloody murder about “ corporate censorship ” and “ discrimination ” .
For now , in their minds , racial discrimination = bad .
Politicial discrimination = good .
The monopoly issue still stands , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a unified corporate monopoly is a monstrosity that can not be tolerated .
Government can and should break up such monopolies without going down the rabbit hole of nationalization .
Yes , we can go to small startup platforms and leave Twitter , Facebook , Reddit , YouTube , etc .
behind .
I have been saying for years that conservatives with the capital should start their own alternative social media .
In fact , that is exactly what is finally happening .
There has been a mass exodus of users from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ let the SJWs have their echo chambers and maybe these companies will collapse .
Get Woke Go Broke still applies .
But , government can no longer protect these corporations , either .
With the government raining down bailout cash and corporate welfare on media companies , voting with your feet and your wallet does not have the same effect or send the same message .
The future of this situation is bleak .
I have no doubt that leftists and globalists will attempt to purge ALL conservative discussion from the internet , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ down private conservative websites through service providers .
The final outcome of the purge is predictable : Civil war ; an issue I will be discussing in my next article .
Leftists accuse conservatives of hate , but social justice adherents seem to hate almost everything .
I don ’ t think I ’ ve ever witnessed a group of people more obsessed with visiting misery on others , and they will never be satisfied or satiated .
That which is normal speech today will be labeled as hate speech tomorrow .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ existence .
I for one am not going to live my life walking on eggshells around a clique of narcissistic sociopaths .
Cancel culture is mob rule , and mob rule is at its core the true evil here ; far more evil than any mere words spoken by any “ white supremacist ” on any forum or video ever .

Four Democrats Arrested By FBI

Four sitting Toledo City Council members and one local attorney were charged in a criminal complaint today for their participation in a bribery and extortion scheme that encouraged soliciting and/or accepting cash , checks , money orders , or other things of value from local business owners in exchange for their votes on City Council .

Four sitting Toledo City Council members and one local attorney were charged in a criminal complaint today for their participation in a bribery and extortion scheme that encouraged soliciting and/or accepting cash, checks, money orders, or other things of value from local business owners in exchange for their votes on City Council.
Charged today were Tyrone Riley (District 1), Yvonne Harper (District 4), Garrick “Gary” Johnson (At-Large), Larry Sykes (At-Large) and Keith Mitchell all of Toledo. All defendants were charged via a federal criminal complaint filed in the Northern District of Ohio with Receipt of Bribe by Agent of Organization Receiving Federal Funds and Hobbs Act Extortion Under Color of Official Right. Additionally, defendant Harper was charged with Interstate Communications with Intent to Extort.
“As alleged in the Complaint, four Toledo City Council members and a local attorney have been engaged in a pay-to-play scheme involving bribes for Council votes,” said U.S. Attorney Justin Herdman. “Maintaining the public’s trust in its elected officials is one of the Department of Justice’s core responsibilities. The residents of Toledo should know, as should every other resident of the Northern District of Ohio, that where there are allegations of public corruption and kickbacks, we and our federal partners will be there every time.”

“Elected officials are elected by the people, to serve the people, not to serve their own financial self-interests,” said FBI Special Agent in Charge Eric B. Smith. “The FBI will continue efforts to root out public corruption so citizens can have faith and trust in their public officials.”
According to the criminal complaint, in early 2018, the FBI began to investigate Toledo City Council members for soliciting monetary payments or other things of value from local business owners in exchange for their votes on City Council. In addition, Councilwoman Harper was investigated for an extortion attempt on a local business.
The following is a summary of the events listed in the complaint:
From May of 2018 to April of 2019, a local businessman, Source 1, applied for a Special Use Permit “SUP” for a curb cut at Source 1’s place of business off of Dorr Street in Toledo.Source 1 bribed Councilman Tyrone Riley with $2,000 and other items of value in return for the Councilman’s support of the SUP. On April 30, 2019, the SUP passed council unanimously with Councilman Riley abstaining. Later on, Source 1 would provide an additional $700 bribe to remove a sprinkler system requirement written into Source 1’s SUP.
In April of 2018, a local businessman, Source 2, applied for a SUP for the re-zoning of an internet café business on Holland-Sylvania Rd. Source 2 bribed Councilman Tyrone Riley $1,000 in return for the Councilman’s support of the re-zoning SUP. On October 23, 2018, Riley and the rest of City Council voted in favor of SOURCE 2’s SUP for his/her internet café on Holland-Sylvania Rd.
From 2018 to 2020, Source 2 solicited and bribed council members Yvonne Harper (through local attorney Keith Mitchell), Tyrone Riley, Garrick “Gary” Johnson and Larry Sykes with monetary payments and other items of value in return for their support of a SUP to open an internet café on Central Avenue in Toledo.
Source 2 paid Councilwoman Harper, through Mitchell, a total of $2,825 ($2,000 for Harper for the Central Ave. SUP; $500 for Mitchell; and $320 for Harper’s fundraiser), Councilman Johnson $1,000 in a check for him in some else’s name, Councilman Riley $5,000 and Councilman Sykes $1,500 all in return for their support of the Central Ave SUP. On February 25, 2020, the Central Avenue internet café SUP passed City Council unanimously.
In 2019, Source 2 applied for two SUPs for two internet cafés on Reynolds Rd. During the same approximate time period, Source 2 wanted City Council to pass a moratorium to prohibit any additional internet cafés within the city for a specified time frame. Source 2 then paid Councilman Sykes in return for three votes in favor of the two internet cafes on Reynolds Rd., the moratorium legislation, and paid Riley $5,500 in bribe money for his three votes in favor of these issues. Source 2 also paid Councilman Tyrone Riley $500 for his support of the two Reynolds Rd internet cafes and moratorium legislation.
On January 2, 2020, Sykes and Riley voted yes on a moratorium on internet cafés and the two Reynolds Rd SUPs; all three measures passed.
In 2019, an acquaintance of Source 2, A.M., applied for a SUP to open an internet café on Manhattan Blvd. A.M. provided two bribes, one to Councilwoman Harper’s reelection campaign for $5,000 and a separate fee to Mitchell for $1,500. 114. On July 23, 2019, Harper voted in favor of A.M.’s SUP during the City Council meeting. A.M.’s SUP was approved unanimously.
Additionally, in 2019, A.M., applied for a SUP to open an internet café on Secor Rd. A.M. and Source 2 paid Councilman Johnson $2,000 in return for his support of the SUP. The SUP ultimately failed to garner the required votes in Planning Commission and in City Council.
In November of 2019, Councilwoman Harper and Source 1 convened a meeting to discuss a Facebook post by one of Harper’s constituents claiming that Source 1’s tenant used racial slurs when interacting with a female customer from the neighborhood. Harper then threatened Source 1 with protests, negative media attention and potential loss of their liquor license unless the constituent was compensated appropriately. On January 31, 2020, Source 1 paid the constituent $2,500.
A federal criminal complaint is merely an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

From ABC13:
Mark Wagoner, Chair of the Lucas County Republican Party, also released a statement calling for the resignation of all four members of council, saying, “A culture of corruption exists within Toledo City Government. Four Democrat city council members – including the Executive Director of the Lucas County Democratic Party – have been arrested by the FBI in connection with a bribery scheme in Toledo city government. Democrat domination of Toledo city politics has consequences, and today we see them. Lucas County Republicans have long pointed to the culture of corruption within the City of Toledo and have put forward quality candidates to end Democrat domination. Today, the importance of watchdogs on Toledo City Council is never more clear. The Lucas County Republicans call for the following immediately: (1) all four city council candidates should resign; (2) open elections should be held for each of these open seats; and (3) Yvonne Harper should be removed as Executive Director of the Lucas County Democratic Party.”

Her niece’s suicide inspired her to start raising awareness about the industry’s practices to help prevent future tragedies. She said: “And I realize that there are thousands and thousands of people out there that need a voice, and I’m serving as that voice.”
Olsen wrote the book Confessions of an Rx Drug Pusher about her experiences.
She said one of her biggest concerns these days is for the millions of children who are being put on antipsychotics, especially those in foster care. Because psychiatric diagnoses do not require any blood tests or concrete scientific data, it is all too easy for these doctors to grow their patient population – and for Big Pharma to profit significantly.
She said: “A large number of psychiatrists are dishonest, because I see them giving people drugs that they know are brain damaging therapeutics, that they know do not have positive, long-term outcomes, that they know will not cure anything.”
Olsen shared her anger and disillusionment when she learned that she was basically used in Big Pharma’s game, and as someone working on the front lines on their behalf, she was unintentionally harming people – and it’s a burden she says she will carry with her forever.
It’s incredibly brave of her to speak out about this serious issue that so many others keep silent about as they continue to collect their paychecks. If only more people working in Big Pharma would take a similar stand, countless people who have died at the hands of dangerous drugs might still be alive today.

Oregon — As COVID-19 cases rise across the nation, more than 20 states have imposed mandatory mask laws, forcing citizens to wear masks in public, or else. On Wednesday, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown handed down the threat of hefty fines and even jail time for citizens who refuse to wear a mask in public. While many people praised the mandate, others did not, and, as the video below shows, the ones who are tasked with enforcing the mask laws, aren’t wearing them.
“This is enforceable by law, at both a business and an individual level,” Brown said. “As with all orders I have issued to keep people safe and save Oregon lives, violation of the order can carry a Class C misdemeanor as a penalty.”
According to Oregon law, a Class C misdemeanor is punishable by up to 30 days in jail, a fine of up to $1,250, or both.

Brown said they are working with business, who are scared of enforcing the rule over fears of lawsuits.
“We’re working with businesses before we move to enforcement,” the governor said. “I’m asking all of us to take this face covering requirement very, very seriously, to protect themselves and others.”
According to KTVZ, the governor noted the exceptions in the order, as masks are not required for children under 12 (though parents are encouraged to assist those 2 and older to help them wear them when possible), as well as at locations where one is eating or drinking, or for those who are exerting themselves at gyms and the like, as long as six feet of physical distance are maintained.
On Thursday, video surfaced from inside a Corvallis coffee shop, which showed multiple Oregon State Police troopers — who did not fit any of the above exceptions — clearly unconcerned with the governors order.
The troopers reportedly defied the the store’s assistant manager, Travis Boss who told them that it was their policy that all customers wear masks.
“Governor Brown has no authority to take our civil liberties. We aren’t going to wear masks,” the trooper allegedly said, according to a written statement from Boss provided to Oregon Live.
The irony of the troopers claiming that the governor has “no authority to take our civil liberties” cannot be understated. This is coming from a person whose department has tear gassed, pepper sprayed, beaten, and shot protesters for practicing their constitutionally protected civil liberties in recent weeks during police brutality protests in the state.
After refusing to wear a mask, the trooper placed his order and then gave his opinion on the governor’s mandate requiring masks to be worn inside public spaces.
“He said, ‘F— Kate Brown,’” Boss recalled.
After the first trooper defied the manager’s request, three other troopers came in, and also refused to wear masks. Boss told Oregon Live he felt compelled to fulfill their drink orders because they were in uniform, even though he said he had sent other patrons away earlier for not wearing masks.
After the incident, the coffee shop reported the troopers’ behavior to to the Oregon State Police, who responded by saying they are launching an internal investigation.
“The involved trooper has been placed on administrative leave,” Fox said in a statement. “OSP is early in the investigation, but if found to be true, we are thoroughly disappointed and expect our troopers to follow the governor’s executive orders and be examples in the community.”

The video below does not lie. It is true that the troopers are refusing to wear masks and are being served anyway.
Fining or arresting people for not wearing a mask certainly borders on the verge of tyranny and troopers who refuse to extort, kidnap, or cage individuals who may not be able to wear a mask for health or psychological reasons is a good thing.
That being said, however, private establishments that require masks are private. You have no right to enter someone’s private property do as you wish by disobeying their requirements while demanding service. Police officers violating the property rights of the coffee shop owner by refusing to obey their rules is unacceptable — regardless of some governor’s decree — and, it speaks to the nature of their above the law mentality.
