Increasing Orwellianism
Theology and Politics from a Conservative, Biblical Perspective
…or What to do if this blog disappears from the ‘Net!
Most are aware of several things occurring in the world and I’ve mentioned a few of these things previously. The CEO of Telegram has been arrested and faces I believe 20 years in prison for allowing criminal activity to occur on his social media organization, Telegram. This is hilarious in a way (but not for the CEO), because it is such a stretch. It would be like arresting the CEO of Walmart for not being aware of whether or not criminals use individual Walmart stores as their base of operations. How could anyone intelligently blame the CEO if this actually occurred?
The real problem is that the CEO of Telegram (unlike the CEO of X), actually believes in true freedom of speech and was unwilling to provide “requested” information from law enforcement agencies in France and elsewhere when they “requested” it. Is there criminal activity happening on Telegram? Very possibly but in order to crack down on it, Telegram would have to crack down on everyone’s freedom of speech.
Now we have VP candidate Tim Waltz telling Americans point blank that the First Amendment is not “absolute.” I hate to disagree with the esteemed stateman but he is 100% wrong. The First Amendment is absolute. It never indicates what might not be accepted free speech. It simply says what it says.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Yet, numerous laws have been placed in front of it to make people think that the First Amendment is actually limited. The problem with the laws placed in front of it is that they are actually and fully illegal. In order to overturn an amendment of the United States Constitution, there is an actual process that legislators must follow and that is outlined here at this link. [1] The process is outlined in Article V of the Constitution. Ultimately, there needs to be a constitutional convention in which at least 2/3 of the states of the USA ratify a change to an amendment. This is what occurred during Prohibition when a new amendment was added outlawing liquor. Eventually, that amendment was then overturned with a new amendment putting things back to the way they were since it became clear that outlawing liquor did nothing to stop people from drinking and abusing it.
It appears with the way things are going that freedom of speech on the Internet may become a thing of the past. All sorts of reasons will be used like the world is getting smaller and the Internet crosses national boundaries. Because of this and the laws in various countries, speech on the Internet must be limited so that people are not “offended.” Of course, the people who decide what is and what is not offensive are almost always on the Left. To them, saying there are only two genders is problematic and offensive so that should not be allowed. This kind of “logic” essentially harms society because it prohibits any type of speech that someone with authority deems to be offensive or problematic. This ends up being truly Orwellian in nature.
As of right now, I am free to say what I want to say here on my WordPress blog. Elon Musk’s new (globalist) CEO has come up with the “limited reach” solution to free speech. In other words, a poster can say what they want but if it goes against precious community standards, that post will be “limited” by algorithms. All the algorithms on X tend to drastically reduce the reach of those who lean toward the conservative side of the aisle. They still go to “Twitter” jail or are suspended or severally limited in their reach. Yet, Musk truly believes (or at least says), that he supports freedom of speech. This is simply not true at all, though many believe it is the epitome of truth.
Since I’ve been associated with WordPress (since 2010), I’ve had only one incident where the folks at WP contacted me to let me know they received a complaint from someone in a foreign country. It was regarding what I had stated about Islam. The person complaining took umbrage and wanted WP to take my post down. WP officials told me they would not take it down but also stated it might result in that country blocking my blog.
I don’t know the inner workings of WP. I have noticed over the years that instead of my numbers increasing, they’ve reduced, which I find interesting because that usually is not the case with a well-established blog. Ultimately, God is in control of that though.
My whole point to this post is to simply let readers know that there may come a day in the not-too-distant future where what I write here might be censored. If that happens, I’d like to let folks know that they can start following my articles over at my SermonAudio.com site. This link will take you directly to my audio messages (most of my written articles are recorded):
This link takes a person to the StudyGrowKnow Ministries homepage at Sermon Audio.
From there, you can choose to listen to a sermon (circled in red in image) or choose an article to read (circled in green in image). So there may come a day when you’ll arrive to this website hosted on WP and not find it anymore. So far, SermonAudio has created their own infrastructure that allows them to independently host sermons and articles from broadcasters without fear of being censored. Of course, this only works as long as the Internet remains up and running. There is talk of making it impossible to be on the Internet unless a person has a digital ID that proves their identity.
Ultimately, it’s all about control, folks. They’re not whispering about it anymore. They’re actively pursuing it. I hope it never happens but I can see a good possibility that it may well occur and become the norm at some point in the future. So, I’m addressing it now just in case WP goes censorship mode. If so, move on over to my page at Sermon Audio and I would suggest bookmarking it on your phone or computer so you’ll have easy access to it.
Thanks folks! Onward and upward!
