It was their final, most essential command

You are never, ever the good guy if you are for suffocating speech. Ever.

In order for what follows to make sense, we all need to stipulate this point. Especially when you are being told to reject the evidence of your own eyes and ears and believe the lies you are being told.

History has proven it true: if the people in power want to censor, punish, limit speech, they are always the bad guys. Always. There are simply no exceptions to this rule. In the 2,000 years of man being upright and organized into groups with a leader, however primitive, if the leader of the group wants to keep you from voicing an opinion, he’s a bad guy. Full stop. Period. No exceptions. Free speech, like liberty writ large, is “the soul’s right to breathe,” as Henry Ward Beecher said.

So when I read in a July 1st Axios article that point four of Team Biden’s survival strategy was to “limit dissent” that caught my notice.

The Axios passage reads:

Limit dissent. Biden allies helped orchestrate the supportive tweets by former Presidents Clinton and Obama. Those happened after furious back-channeling by allies. Truth is, that was the easy part.

I doubt many of us are surprised, but to see it so plainly, well, they’re not even hiding it anymore. We see it as plainly as we see Joe Biden’s obvious physical and mental infirmities.

“Limit dissent”? From whom? Well, we’re reading from many sources that it’s a comprehensive Team Biden doctrine. Multiple legacy media sources are reporting: Jill Biden is shielding Joe Biden from anyone who might suggest he step aside. The Biden campaign is working the phones to keep Hill Democrats from saying anything about stepping aside publicly

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” - George Orwell, '1984'

This really is a nothing article. I’m surprised “American Greatness” goes with this stuff.
