Hello, America. Mark live in here. Our number 877-38138-1187-38133811. Free speech. Where does free speech come from?

Not 100% sure of the original birth of free speech, but we can go back as far as Greece, where there was presumed to be free speech.

What about in America?

Free speech is one of the unalienable rights. Free speech is so important that when the states went back to amend the Constitution, after the Constitution had been ratified, they went back to amend the Constitution as part of the Bill of Rights.

They insisted on free speech as part of the First Amendment, or there be no Constitution, or there be no federal government, or there be no president, or department of Homeland Security or anything of the sort.

I like this department of Homeland Security. I never liked the name, Department of Homeland Security. Here it is, one of the biggest departments in the federal government, the biggest domestic government department, that in HHS, I suppose.

Now we have these efforts with the government to monitor speech. Of a government's monitoring speech, it wants to control speech.

This has happened from time to time in our history. The difference is, we used to believe that these were terrible, even grave errors on the part of presidents and congresses.

Whether it was done by John Adams, our second president, to try and silence Thomas Jefferson, and the new Republican Party.

The Civil War period, where some 200 newspapers were shut down.

A hundred years ago, when Woodrow Wilson, the more modern period, actually imprisoned people who disagree with this position on the war, when FDR unleashed the IRS against his political opponents, who would speak out against him, and that would include numerous newspaper publishers, and I could go on and on.

These are very, very bad times in American history, but now, presumably, we've learned from this.

And have you noticed how little the corrupt American media, aka the American Provda, how little they've objected to this?

It's conservatives, constitutionalists, who are objecting. And of course, the reporting somebody is the Zarina, and I say, I think I will, need a Jacoots, and we'll get to her in a minute.

And she comes out of the Wilson Center, and I touched on this yesterday, and I want to tell you about Woodrow Wilson in a little bit more detail.

In addition to being a racist and a segregationist, and a Democrat, and a so-called progressive.

And this is straight out of unfreedom of the press, but nonetheless, the facts are important.
