John Kerry and the Circuitous Assault on Free SpeechMere words cannot restrain our aspiring censors from weaponizing their power to silence dissent. Enemies
of the First Amendment vow to “hammer it out of existence,” as John Kerry explained this week, and they are prepared to circumvent legal protections to achieve their aims at all costs. Kerry, speaking on a panel on climate change at the World Economic Forum, lamented what he regards as insufficient censorship of “disinformation” and called on his allies to “win the ground, win the right to govern” in order to be “free be able to...

| 9-30-24 | David Strom
Democrats have been ramping up the rhetoric, not just about eliminating Donald Trump and MAGA, but about getting rid of the Constitution itself. The
first two Amendments of the Constitution are constantly attacked by the left, followed closely by the Electoral College. Your right to speak, to defend yourself, and for people outside New York, California, and deep Blue urban areas to be represented are all under attack. The latest example of this fact is John Kerry, Special Envoy for the President for the Climate (yes, John Kerry is the Earth's representative according to the Biden/Harris administration), bemoaning the fact...

During the Sustainable Development Impact Meeting held by the World Economic Forum (WEF), John Kerry brazenly admitted that first amendment is a threat to government power. During
the discussion, Kerry stated that free speech, particularly on social media, threatens ‘democracies’ by inhibiting the government’s ability to manufacture a consensus through the control of information. ”…I think the dislike like of and anguish over social media is just growing and growing and growing, and that’s part of our problem particularly in democracies — in terms of building consensus around any issue, its really hard to govern today.” He goes on to...

Shortly after Vice President Kamala Harris chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, the Trump-Vance campaign called into question claims he previously made about his military service, opening a broadside against the U.S. Navy veteran that some Republicans now liken to “sort of a Swift Boat 2.0 attack.” It
is a reference to the highly contentious playbook the GOP used against Sen. John Kerry when the Massachusetts Democrat ran for the White House in 2004, in large part on his record as a junior naval officer in Vietnam. Those character attacks, widely panned at the time, called into...

House Democrat compares Walz attacks to ‘Swift Boat ----‑‑‑’ against Kerry

The Hill ^
| 08/09/2024 | Lauren Irwin
Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-N.J.) said Thursday that attacks on Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) over his military service reminded her of the infamous Swift Boat attacks against former Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) during his run for president in 2004. Sherrill
told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that she felt compelled to speak out about the military accusations against Walz, who served more than two decades in the Army National Guard, because they are “so incredibly offensive.” “It’s reminiscent of the Swift Boat bulls— that Senator Kerry faced in his election. We’re seeing the same type of people trying to reignite this same kind...

John Kerry Just Proved He’s Even More of a Dolt Than Anyone Imagined

What an unbelievable idiot: Biden “climate envoy” John Kerry actually said that if Russia makes “a greater effort to reduce emissions,” it might “open up the door for people to feel better about what Russia is choosing to do” in its barbaric war to conquer Ukraine. Kerry’s always been a self-regarding twit,
but this might be the dumbest thing any politician has said in decades (and the competition is stiff). SNIP Of course, then Kerry couldn’t justify constantly taking private jets across the world to “fight for climate.” Putin and China’s Xi Jinping may pretend to take the American clown...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of NPR’s “All Things Considered,” Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry stated that hitting climate goals will cost between 2.5 to 5 trillion dollars annually “for the next 30 years” and that he believes China might not actually use the new coal plants they’re building because “That’s what
they say to us. And that’s what begins to be a possibility as we look at the massive amount of renewable that’s being deployed.” Co-host Ari Shapiro asked, [relevant exchange begins around 3:10] “China is building more coal-fired power plants and the U.S.[‘s] emissions are not falling fast...

Moderate Dems silent as Biden skirts Senate confirmation for John Kerry's replacement

Fox News via MSN ^
| 2/11/24 | Thomas Catenacci
Moderate Senate Democrats were silent this week when Fox News Digital asked for a comment on President Biden's decision to appoint climate czar John Kerry's replacement without Senate confirmation. **SNIP**
While Kerry will step down as special presidential envoy for climate (SPEC), Biden will not nominate a direct replacement, and Kerry's staff will report to another State Department official while Podesta coordinates policy with the SPEC office from the White House. The arrangement allows Podesta to sidestep a congressionally mandated Senate confirmation since the SPEC role will technically be left vacant. "Upon Secretary Kerry’s departure, the existing SPEC state team...
