Fwd: The commies really are coming for us


---------- Forwarded message ---------
From: Tom Woods <tom@tomwoods.com>

There's a quotation falsely attributed to Sinclair Lewis that goes like this:

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."


It's good that Lewis, whom I rather like, didn't say this, because it's idiotic, and becomes even more so with each passing year.

It isn't right-wing regimes around the world that are threatening free speech, for example. It's left-wing ones, which cannot abide voices that dissent from their sacred ideologies.

This is the way the left these days debates, too. You are called a name for being a heretic vis-a-vis the sacred ideology, and then you are treated as if you're not even a person.

Well, author Michael Shellenberger just posted this disturbing update out of Brazil, where the radical left regime isn't even trying to hide its repressiveness, and I wanted to make sure you saw it:

Last night, around 8 p.m. local time in São Paulo, Brazil, Federal Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes announced a criminal investigation into Elon Musk, the owner of X, formerly known as Twitter, for allegedly spreading disinformation, obstructing justice, and allowing people who De Moraes had banned from social media to freely express their views. De Moraes said he would fine X twenty thousand dollars per day for every banned person Musk allows to speak.

As such, De Moraes has taken Brazil one step closer to being a dictatorship. What's more, the events of the last few weeks make clear that Elon Musk is the only thing standing in the way of global totalitarianism. Without free speech, there can be no democracy.

If X goes down, we must continue to fight. We can continue to communicate through email and other social media platforms, such as Facebook.

But email is no substitute for social media platforms' capacity to share information with millions of people. Mark Zuckerberg, the owner of Facebook, abandoned his principled free speech position in 2020 after three years of relentless pressure from activist NGOs, Democrats, and corporate advertisers. Today, Facebook actively represses the spread of news.

The mainstream corporate news media have never been more corrupt and totalitarian. With few exceptions, they spread government propaganda as a matter of policy. Nobody demands censorship more than the corporate media, which benefit from governments shutting down their competitors.

Governments are either not protecting free speech or actively participating in the war upon it.

Last month, the US Supreme Court held a hearing where justices made clear that they were fine with the US government pressuring social media companies to censor. Last week, the Scottish government implemented a law to crack down on so-called hate speech, including jokes by comedians. In Ireland, the government wants the power to send police into people's homes to search computers and phones for hate speech. In Canada, the governing Liberal party wants the power to send people to prison for life for things they've said. And the European Union has empowered a tiny group of bureaucrats to decide what is true and false and engage in mass censorship.

All of this is happening at the very same moment that my colleagues and I have revealed that government intelligence organizations are working through NGOs to interfere in elections by spreading disinformation about populist activists and political candidates. In other words, governments are demanding censorship in order to protect their ability to spread disinformation.

Making matters worse, governments are directly financing corporate news media. The current Brazilian government is spending 30 times more than the previous government on media advertising in order to spread its disinformation.

I never in my life thought I would live to see the rise of totalitarianism in Western countries. A powerful minority of educated elites around the world are demanding the censorship, persecution, and incarceration of their political enemies. Naturally, they are doing so in the name of saving democracy. I am shocked and embarrassed that I used to call many of these totalitarians friends and allies. The only explanation is that they are in the grip of mass psychosis after years of media propaganda and government disinformation falsely claiming that populist political movements are undemocratic.

The fact that the future of free speech rests upon the shoulders of a single individual is not something any of us should want. I do not think that this is a responsibility Elon Musk wants. He would be a far richer person had he never bought Twitter. He would also be living a more peaceful life. After Musk bought Twitter, the Biden administration and the Democratic Party declared war on him. Various government agencies filed multiple frivolous lawsuits against Musk and his companies in ways very similar to the war the Brazilian government is waging against X.

What all of this reveals is that, until Musk bought Twitter, we didn't really have freedom of expression. The US government felt that it controlled both the corporate news media and social media companies. We saw in the Twitter Files that the FBI orchestrated a disinformation and censorship campaign in order to protect Joe Biden.

Starting with the Cyber Threat Intelligence League, operatives working for the US Department of Defense and the British Ministry of Defense sought to hide their censorship and disinformation efforts as "cyber security." After that, the US Department of Homeland Security and the Stanford Internet Observatory engaged in a mass censorship effort around the 2020 elections and Covid.


There's a bit more, but you get the idea.

Everything out of the mouths of the people Shellenberger talks about is a lie. Every last thing. During the Covid fiasco in particular they turned up the dial on the lying and the suppression of the truth higher than I had seen at any other point in my life.

As we look back on that episode, it's becoming clearer and clearer that pretty much everything they said about everything was a lie. It wasn't just three or four things. It was virtually everything.

I highlight this episode in particular because on April 23 I will be debating the subject of Covid policy at the notorious Soho Forum in New York City, and I hope you'll come watch (or at least catch the livestream). Tickets here:

Remember, too, that my new book Diary of a Psychosis is a merciless bludgeoning of the whole thing, and that the audiobook version is especially entertaining because, narrated by me, it contains just that balance of sarcasm and contempt that you crave:
