   Observations on the irrepressible human spirit and the power of censorship   
   to breed rebellion:   
      
   Like the old boiler-based steam engines of yore – or today's ubiquitous   
   residential hot water heaters – societies without an adequate release   
   valve to keep internal pressures within tolerable limits will suffer   
   violent explosions that can't be ignored – just ask Deathstar project   
   manager Darth Vader regarding Princess Leah's Rebel Alliance. Or the ADL's   
   Johathan Greenblatt on the escalating Kanye/Kyrie/Chappell uprising and   
   the sudden call for Jews to flee America for Israel (in my view a cascade   
   of over-reactions that may frighteningly transform a fixable problem into   
   self-fulfilling prophecy).   
      
   Like "beauty," "hate speech" is in the eye of the beholder – whose   
   perspective usually depends on whose ox is being gored. And that's a big   
   problem when it comes to democratic societies, because subjectivism is the   
   worst enemy of objective truth and always leads to tyranny by the   
   strongest self-interested faction(s) over everyone else. This in turn   
   leads inevitably to violent, often murderous insurrection by the serfs, a   
   la the French Reign of Terror or the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, or   
   even our own American Revolution (which was actually just "deadly," not   
   "murderous," because the violence was justified in self-defense).   
      
   Importantly, deciding who are the "good guys" and "bad guys" in these   
   matters is also subjective in the absence of an overarching moral paradigm   
   (such as the Bible) deemed binding upon everyone. Without the law above   
   the law, one side's "freedom fighter" is always the other side's   
   "terrorist" and only "might" will decide who's "right:" a determination   
   "carved in stone" in the history books of the victor.   
      
   When it comes to preventing explosive social rebellions, the release valve   
   is a carefully established and maintained set of objective criteria for   
   judging disputes that applies equally to everyone. America's symbol for   
   that ideal is a blindfolded Lady Liberty holding aloft the scales of   
   justice. Its codification of that ideal is the U.S. Constitution,   
   clarified in the Bill of Rights and later augmented by the Due Process and   
   Equal Protection clauses of the 14th Amendment.   
      
   The purpose of the U.S. Constitution, unique in all human history, was to   
   establish one common standard for everyone as a matter of right,   
   safeguarded by a separation of governmental powers that included not just   
   the tripartite division of the national government, but also the   
   separation of the federal from the individual state governments (the 10th   
   Amendment) and the people collectively from both the federal and the state   
   governments (the Ninth Amendment). All power was mandated to flow from the   
   people to the government by delegation, which presupposition is the   
   ultimate first principle of America as set forth in the first organic law   
   of this nation (literally the first law in the law books), the Declaration   
   of Independence, which in turn anchors its authority in the bedrock of   
   "the Laws of Nature and Natures God."   
      
   Without that law above the law, all disputes come down to contests of   
   little strongmen whose "might makes right" until one super strongman   
   (Dictator), or a group of them (Oligarchy), or a perpetual, usually   
   family-based strongman system (Monarchy), or a religion-based strongman   
   system (Theocracy) or some combination of them imposes its will on   
   everyone else. This is an inescapable logical imperative of human nature.   
   The best one can hope for is strongmen who are fair-minded and benign.   
      
   America's own roots began in the soil of rebellion against an intertwined   
   Roman Catholic theocracy and monarchy in Western Europe and Great Britain   
   when "hate speech" meant dissent from government narratives about the   
   Catholic royal family. Yet even then, when "hate speech" was punishable by   
   death, the dissent was irrepressible, spawning the art of "Nursery   
   Rhymes": mockery and or memorialization of events written in a secret   
   political code hidden in children's songs. They were the 17th century   
   version of the Ichthys fish symbol of first-century Christians or "Let's   
   Go Brandon" for the modern MAGA movement.   
      
   Per the BBC: "'Rock-a-bye Baby' refers to events preceding the Glorious   
   Revolution. The baby in question is supposed to be the son of King James   
   II of England, but was widely believed to be another man's child, smuggled   
   into the birthing room to ensure a Roman Catholic heir. The rhyme is laced   
   with connotation: The "wind" may be the Protestant forces blowing in from   
   the Netherlands; the doomed "cradle" the royal House of Stuart. … 'Mary,   
   Mary Quite Contrary' may be about Bloody Mary, daughter of King Henry VIII   
   and concerns the torture and murder of Protestants."   
      
   Both the French and American revolutions also sprang from that   
   social/political context. The French version, undergirded by atheism,   
   became an orgy of gore and atrocities. The American version, undergirded   
   by Hebraic-influenced Protestantism produced the model society of the   
   modern world in which all factions, including Jews and Catholics, as   
   individuals, gained an equal place in the process of self-governance.   
      
   "For my part, I sincerely esteem the Constitution, a system which without   
   the finger of God, never could have been suggested and agreed upon by such   
   a diversity of interests," said the eminent Founding Father Alexander   
   Hamilton.   
      
   I believe America's constitutional republic formally ended on Jan. 6,   
   2021, when the U.S. Congress ratified the Purple Uniparty's theft of the   
   presidency from Donald Trump, and then the failure of the Red Tsunami   
   counter-revolution of 2022 to claw it back sealed our fate as a Cultural   
   Marxist Oligarchy. The looming specter of tyranny has been rising for a   
   long time in the one-sided suppression of free speech and insultingly   
   blatant double standards that serve only the oligarchs and their woke   
   useful-idiot minions. Blasphemy codes and punishments are back, but upside   
   down and backwards now. There is now no accountability for the crimes of   
   the elites, but increasingly severe and increasingly blatantly unjust   
   police-state crackdowns on their victims – worldwide. That's a recipe for   
   revolution beyond anything previously seen – and for resulting brutal   
   suppression like only the Antichrist can dish out.   
      
   Elon Musk's battle for restoration of freedom of speech on Twitter is a   
   microcosm of the state of new America. It is an impossible task because   
   the very mention of "free speech" has become "hate speech" under the new   
   regime. And it WILL be crushed because the oligarchs have the power and
