Democrats targeting content and control of the Internet, especially from conservative sources, are pushing hard to layer on new regulations and even censorship under the guise of promoting diversity while policing bullying, warn commissioners from the Federal Communications Commission and Federal Election Commission.

“Protecting freedom on the Internet is just one vote away,” said Lee E. Goodman, a commissioner on the FEC which is divided three Democrats to three Republicans. “There is a cloud over your free speech.”

Freedom of speech on the Internet, added Ajit Pai, commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission, “is increasingly under threat.”

Pai and Goodman cited political correctness campaigns by Democrats as a threat. Both also said their agencies are becoming politicized and the liberals are using their power to push regulations that impact business and conservative outlets and voices.

Censoring conservative speech has long been a wet dream for the Stalinists and Communists in the democratic party.

Just how thirsty does the Tree of Liberty have to get?

Telling Americans about rapes by Islamic terrorists
of helpless 5 year old girls is now to be censored.

The GOP in the “US” Congress continue doing NOTHING
except to fund terror and the terrorists who murder
Americans.

===> THIS CANNOT END WELL.

200+.
Plenty of time to reclass the Net as a “public utility” and regulate it.

The bigger question here is, why are our freedoms being dismantled by unelected, non representative commissions?

They completely control “education” (curricula) in all the public schools so only a Marxist, Freudian worldview is created in our children. Critical thinking is impossible when they trap children in their dependency system to destroy love of Wisdom/Truth (God) and creativity for the Miley Cyrus brain/morals to collapse culture. The schools glorify vice and pagan/atheist religions and denigrate/ban Christianity (the most rational religion of all time). Reason (Common Sense) is not allowed. It is destroyed in children since they live in artificial institutions which embeds dependency and loyalty to authority (the State), away from the Natural Family, Real Life interactions in Natural World, for group-think—(non-think) and removed from their true moral role models.

The children are as evil and warped and devoid of all normalcy, as children raised in orphanages in Romania who will never be able to have any flourishing, meaningful relationships with anyone (like a Miley).

As Wittgenstein and all the Marxists/socialists have always known-—it is why people like Hitler got total control of all information, churches and schools by 1933—and killed or locked up anyone who went off their Narrative (no mercy, even for Sophie (the White Rose).

Control of Information will control the masses “thinking” and desires. We are herd animals and rejection/isolation is hard and children will adopt insanity to be popular—be included in group think.

Control of Words (adjectives/twisting of meanings to make Lust into Love and Vice into Virtue) is essential to destroy Reason and Logic in children-—to make them so ignorant and irrational they will believe “snow is black” and boys can be girls-—totally removed from Reality and Truth (God).

As the Ancient Greeks knew-—promoting Vice 24/7 destroys virtue formation in children and our public schools and TV/Movies/Art have been promoting evil and vice since the 50s to collapse Western Civilization. Germany was the Home (test-case) in the late 1800s where homosexuality became the National Vice (Virtue to the vulgar, vile Weimar Republic).

They’ll criminalize speech, and they’ll also criminalize political opposition.
Soon enough holding the “wrong” opinion will be a hate crime, punishable by law.

This is what happens when morons vote.
