First They Came For The …

The reminder of what happens when we are bullied into not asking questions about those shaping our lives:

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

This is a confession of sorts written by a German Pastor named Martin Niemöller.

At what point do we include folks asking questions about the ‘official narrative’, including those who might be labelled as ‘conspiracy theorists’?

Well, ask no longer because at least one side of the equation will soon become a reality, despite the fact that it’s a contravention to freedom of speech and the Constitution of the United States. And in opposition to the ideals set out by the United Nations (an organization that, according to potential-terrorist-because-he-believes-in-conspiracy-theories President Donald Trump, is a cabal of socialists wanting to control our lives).

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the US will now track people who remind the public of ‘conspiracy theories’, putting the right to free speech in question.

This would make NYC fire commissioners, the President himself, people that question obscene profits of pharma and oil companies at the expense of the public and millions of others subject to perverse invasions of privacy.

Congratulations USA.

You’re now a corporate-led, bully-driven, failed economic state that blames ghosts for your problems.

In other words, you’re a fascist state.
