Alex Jones was the proof-of-concept of this type of trial.
I know a lot of people have contempt for Alex Jones, but that’s because the only thing they know about him is what the lying gaslight press told them, and they are not capable of thinking for themselves and believe the gaslight press because they’re intellectual sloths.
You are correct in your statement concerning the Alex Jones trial. It’s my hope that the verdict will be overturned by a higher court.
Free speech has been turned upside down and is now defined as “speech approved by the government”. Freedom of the the press is now defined as the “corporate media whose messaging is approved by the government”.
The rights of freedom of speech in our Constitution was incorporated for the express purpose that government officials could not not punish you for your opinions and for speaking those opinions loudly. Much as freedom of religion does not mean that you have the right to only have your religion opinions at home or simply in your mind. You should be able to speak and hold true to those opinions in your daily life.
These rights are inherently ours and do not depend on the government’s permission to exercise those rights. Rights are not “given” by the government, they are ours from the beginning of our existence.
