Rachel Maddow, Charles Pierce And The Rest Won't Tell You But I Will - The Forbideen Logical Conclusion - Hate Mail

CONSIDER HOW MANY TIMES in the past four years of this crisis in American democracy you have heard the mention of the weaponization of lies.  

I would bet that you, as I have heard people from MSNBC, other cable and broadcast venues talk about how the tsunami of lies spread by Republican-fascists, Trumpists, the fascist entities surrounding Steve Bannon and flowing from the various AT&T and other corporate enabled and encouraged lie machines constantly.  Talking about how the "post-truth" world that they, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tic-Toc etc. has not only endangered American democracy at its roots but has led to the anti-vaxx, anti-mask Covid denial that is literally killing hundreds of thousands of us and which has spread from the United States elsewhere in the world, Canada, Britain, etc. to kill there, too.  And how much of American fascist lies are hooked in with other gangster efforts in Hungary, in Brazil, and most of all in Putin's crime mob dictated Russia.  

And now ask yourself how many times and where you have heard that related to the Supreme Court rulings that have freed the media from consequences for carrying even the most extravagant of lies told by  Trump and his fascists lied about to gain power, who the Republican-fascists lie about and to gull the vulnerable into going along with them against their political opponents who, by and large, do not control the media and never have despite the lie that the American media is a liberal entity.   

That is the logical connection which is never made, not allowed to be mentioned, for all of the alleged and supposed freedom of the press, freedom of speech, that glaring and obvious logical connect between the regime of lies which has brought us from the high-point of American democracy to where we are wondering if the next election ratfucked more effectively by Republican-fascists in 2021 than Nixon and his thug, G. Gordon Liddy ever dreamed they could do in their wildest imaginings will be the final nail in the coffin of American Democracy and with it, possibly Democracy anywhere it had any hope of existing.

OUR TICKET TO FASCISM WAS BOUGHT WITH THE FREEDOM GRANTED TO THE MEDIA TO LIE BY A PSEUDO-LIBERAL COURT IN THE MID-1960S THROUGH THEIR ABSURD READING OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT.   That was further aided with Republican-fascists on the court reading the Second Amendment so as to arm their fascist legions.   In the chronology of the march towards fascism it was the Warren Court that stupidly led us to the second, without their rulings allowing the media to lie with impunity we would likely never have gotten courts that would allow the arming of fascists and the criminally insane using the stupidly written Second Amendment, a provision that was put there to make state slave patrols safe from federal oversight. 

Those lies that they admit are leading us here with come right through the American media, the old fashioned kind and the new social-disease media online.   We take the chance of regulating it to force the lies out of it or we lose democracy and, with that, any pretense of freedom of the press or freedom of speech, especially that which will have the alleged benefits that were supposed to come with the privileges given to the corporate media in the First Amendment of good government of, by and for THE PEOPLE.   Lies can corrupt that at its most basic level by corrupting The People on who it all depends.  Or at least enough of them to destroy it.
