Trump, Twitter and the digital town hall : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 7/10/2021

Dershowitz and Trump have a point in pointing out a symptom of the US body politic that has become cripplingly apparent: business and the interests of capitalism have come to control speech, its circulation, its distribution.

Censorship:

*…is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information. This may be done on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient"…* Wikipedia” .

And for the Democrats version of the Labor/ Greens mouth piece the ABC here in Australia, in the US, anything not sanctioned by the NYT or Amazon by less than subtle censoring of free thought.
Down, down, down!

Hopefully Trump will return to make amends.

I agree unreservedly with freedom of speech! But not with freedom to lie and spread BS! Trump had his Facebook and Twitter account cancelled because of the latter and demonstrably so?

What's so bewildering, was the number of deadheads/Trump supporters, willing to believe patently blatant BS and how so many alleged Christians were so completely taken in, without so much as a single grain of a gram of evidence!

Moreover, contributed many millions to his reelection campaign? One can only hope they get burned financially when it turns out, no one with a criminal conviction can stand! And for the record, and as AL Capone discovered, tax avoidance is an actual crime!

How many anti-Semitics are so-called Christians, who've so very conveniently forgotten, Jesus was a Jew!

And similarly, how many "Christian" homophobes quoting Paul? Have conveniently forgotten he was a self-confessed homosexual. Go figure?

Dearest Alan B

And not a word from you condemning private enterprise censorship; once a preserve of Government enterprise.

Hopefully the enterprise of censorship will default back into Government controlled hands next US elections, when Trump returns, which according to my reading of events is more than likely, and not dismissed as a likelihood among Democrats themselves.

The anti religious rainbow worshipers have a need to heed the rumblings of discontent, and prepare for the tactics of censorship to be reversed.

The rest of your diatribe aimed at Christianity, is so far removed from truth by lack of facts as to be ignored.
Best advice is to stay focused on your repetitive fantasies around gay genes.

There is no gay gene, as there is no straight gene: Paul’s affliction which he alluded to was not one of personality disorder as it is with homosexuals, but a physical abnormality: that’s an outcome more believable.

And Jesus was a Jew…really Al, is that so? God, your lost in the woodshed, not the woods!
