President Trump Takes on Big Tech
By The Sharp Edge It was Benjamin Franklin who penned the phrase in a letter in 1722, “Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing as wisdom – and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech.” Franklin went on to explain in that same letter, “Guilt only dreads liberty of speech, which drags it out of its lurking holes, and exposes its deformity and horror to daylight.” Perhaps it is that very guilt that causes Big Tech tyrants to silence voices of criticism. The attack on free speech never became more apparent than the day Big Tech chose to silence the President of the United States. After all, President Trump has a knack for shining light on ugly truths the corrupt establishment would prefer stayed hidden. Fortunately, Trump is not one to back down from a fight – especially one as worthy as the protection…
Post-Trump Acquittal Syndrome, and Other Social Diseases
By James Fitzgerald After the US Senate cleared Donald Trump of the impeachment charges on February 13, he released a brief valedictory statement, before going to ground in Florida. After his acquittal — for allegedly inciting violence among his supporters on January 6 — Trump stated: “Our cherished Constitutional Republic was founded on the impartial rule of law, the indispensable safeguard for our liberties, our rights, and our freedoms. “It is a sad commentary on our times that one political party in America is given a free pass to denigrate the rule of law, defame law enforcement, cheer mobs, excuse rioters, and transform justice into a tool of political vengeance, and persecute, blacklist, cancel and suppress all people and viewpoints with whom or which they disagree,” he said. “I always have, and always will be a champion for the unwavering rule of law, the heroes of law enforcement, and the…
Expect Trump Cards and Underhand Tactics During Impeachment Trial
By James Fitzgerald Senators voted by 56 to 44 in favor of the impeachment process on Tuesday, on the question of whether an impeachment of Donald Trump was constitutional. This followed about four hours of presentations by the respective legal teams on historical and legislative interpretations of the Constitution. It made a strange spectacle following the election of Joe Biden with reportedly the largest vote in the history of the Republic. A quote by Trump at one of his early rallies came to mind: “I will gladly take all those slings and arrows for you.” The Capitol Hill buildings are still fenced in and surrounded by thousands of soldiers and the senators and staff in the House sat with black masks over their faces, as if attending on open pyre funeral where the deceased had died of cholera. Trump’s absence from the proceedings made them seem even more like a…
Who Will Dare Eat From The Tree of For-Biden Fruit?
by James Fitzgerald Four years ago the world was introduced to the concept of “fake news”. Many people may have suspected that the consensus reality of corporate news was a fantasy designed to stupefy and confuse the populace, but the validation from the incoming President Trump solidified the distrust. This was met by a self-defensive frenzy from that same media edifice that bordered on the homicidal at times. This wounded animal — suffering a collapse in audiences across the board — championed an alternative to the sitting president, who now sits behind the big brown desk in the Oval Office. The benchmark of what constitutes a “conspiracy theory” has moved so dramatically over the past four years that claims that Joe Biden’s inauguration was pre-recorded and that he occupies a film studio rather than the real White House don’t grate the way perhaps they would have even a year ago.…
Brazen Takeover Leading Up To Inauguration Day
By James Fitzgerald This was to be an article about the transition team of Joe Biden in the run up to his possible inauguration. However, the unfolding events over the past few days cast new light on the nature of the presidential election and added credence to claims that the sitting president has been subject to an attempted coup on many levels. It would be unjournalistic and naive to echo the fait accompli of the corporate media about who will take the presidential podium on January 20th without first charting the staggering developments in the corporate media. It has been postulated that the social and political schematics we see on TV “is all a movie”. Well, this week on Capitol Hill the movie plot moved into its third act, and the bi-partisan audience held its breath as an unexpected but inevitable showdown took place amid the corridors of power. Protests…
