First Amendment pro-free speech advocates among the Conservative Right have been complaining for the past 3 years over attacks on “Free Speech” regarding anything contrary to the government narrative surrounding the COVID scam and how dangerous the COVID injections are.
But now some of those same alleged proponents of “Free Speech” are the loudest voices in government trying to censor anyone who does not support the Zionist-controlled corporate media and dares to bring attention to the plight of innocent Palestinians and their children being mass-murdered in Gaza right now, where the latest reports now say that over 9,000 Palestinians have been killed, with nearly 4,000 of those deaths being children.
The Neocon Jihad Against Free Speech Goes Full-Tilt
Shocker: a huge contingent of “free speech warriors” never really meant any of it.
All along, their “free speech” talking points were code for the much less noble principle: “I want my political opponents silenced and my political tribe amplified in the media because I’m scared my ideas can’t stand up to scrutiny.”
…And so, just like that, all of their alleged fidelity to the concept of freedom of speech is tossed out the window when the neocons catch the slightest whiff of a hot new Middle East war they might be able to finagle out of a tragedy.
Nikki Haley: ‘There should be freedom of speech, but you don’t get freedom of hate’
In response to various university groups embracing Hamas and/or criticizing Israel (these are not interchangeable positions regardless of how hard neocons want to conflate them), Nikki Haley trotted out a new censorship slogan she might as well have ripped straight from a Women’s and Gender Studies manifesto:
“There should be freedom of speech, but you don’t get freedom of hate.”
(Note how the political dichotomy has a way of coming full circle when it comes to justifying censorship.)
Ben Shapiro: ‘If you work in the media and uncritically and reflexively parrot the genocidal Jew-hating terrorist liars Hamas you should be fired’
“But, Ben,” one might make the rhetorical counterpoint, “what should happen to you if you work in media and you’re a literal Israeli intelligence asset posing as an American patriot?”

This attack on the First Amendment by the Zionists has become so fanatical, that a resolution to censor the speech of U.S. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, whose crime is that she is Palestinian and has been re-elected twice by her fellow American citizens in Michigan, has relatives in the West Bank and Gaza who have suffered, and recently joined a “Cease Fire” rally in Washington D.C. together with Jews who also are calling for a cease fire, was proposed by several Zionist lawmakers.
How dare she!
Not even calls for a cease fire will be tolerated by the Zionists, as they believe it is the duty of Americans to commit mass murder and genocide of all the Palestinian people, including their children, because that is what America does, just as it did to the Japanese during WW II by killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people all in the name of war and “national security”.
Sen. Graham Says ‘No Limit’ on How Many Civilians Israel Can Kill
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said on Tuesday that there should be “no limit” on how many civilian casualties Israel incurs in its bombardment of Gaza.
Graham made the comments while appearing on CNN after Israel bombed the Jabalia refugee camp in north Gaza, killing dozens of people. An Israeli military commander was asked after the strike if Israel was aware the camp was full of innocent civilians and replied, “This is the tragedy of war.”
Graham was asked if there was a threshold where the US might ask Israel to hold off on causing so many civilian casualties. “No. If somebody asked us after World War II, ‘Is there a limit what would you do to make sure that Japan and Germany don’t conquer the world? Is there any limit what Israel should do to the people who are trying to slaughter the Jews? The answer is no. There is no limit,” he said.
Israeli officials have been pointing to the US and allied bombings of Germany and Japan during World War II, which killed hundreds of thousands of civilians, to justify their onslaught in Gaza. The comparison includes the US fire bombings of Japanese cities, which killed around 100,000 civilians in Tokyo in one night in 1945, as well as the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Any view but the Zionist view to kill as many innocent women and children as possible is now speech that must be censored by the U.S. Government according to many of our “elected” officials. And if they have to lie about people who are pushing for peace by slandering them, it is all justified to continue the killing and genocide of Muslims.
The main target of their hatred lately has been the Palestinian Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, whom they want the public to believe is a terrorist herself who attacks Israel.
One of the first government officials to call for her censorship was a fellow Michigan Congressman, Republican Jack Bergman who said that Tlaib was “antisemitic and racist.”
October 11, 2023 – BERGMAN INTRODUCES RESOLUTION CENSURING TLAIB FOR ANTISEMITISM
Washington – Today, Representative Jack Bergman (R-MI) introduced a resolution to censure Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) for her antisemitism and disgraceful response to the attacks on our ally, Israel.
As Rep. Bergman explained in a statement, Tlaib’s “longstanding history of antisemitic and racist rhetoric toward Israel cannot go unchecked.” In further denouncing the Michigan Democrat’s hateful rhetoric, Bergman also stated:
“As Hamas terrorists beheaded infants, paraded dead Jewish teenagers through town, and attacked innocent concert goers in the most deadly day for Jews since the Holocaust, Rep. Rashida Tlaib chose to place the blame solely on Israel and the Jewish people.
“There is no moral equivalence between Israel defending itself and Hamas attacking innocent Israeli civilians. Tlaib’s long history of anti-Semitic tropes and blatant anti-Jewish propaganda is both disturbing and evil – and should have no place in the halls of Congress.” (Source.)
Fellow Zionist Rep. Morgan Luttrell (R-TX) joined with Bergman in introducing the resolution:
“Hamas terrorists have raped and murdered women, beheaded Jewish babies, burned Jewish children alive and killed Americans, yet Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib refused to condemn the evil, brutal attacks. Worse, she justified their vile actions and called Israel an “apartheid state,” placing blame on Israel for the barbarism of these terrorists,” said Congressman Morgan Luttrell. “There should be zero tolerance for this atrocious antisemitism in America, especially in the halls of Congress.” (Source.)
Here is what Rep. Rashida Tlaib actually said just after the initial attacks on October 7th (emphasis mine):
Today (Oct 08, 2023), Representative Rashida Tlaib (MI-12) released the following statement:
“I grieve the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost yesterday, today, and every day. I am determined as ever to fight for a just future where everyone can live in peace, without fear and with true freedom, equal rights, and human dignity.
The path to that future must include lifting the blockade, ending the occupation, and dismantling the apartheid system that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that can lead to resistance.
The failure to recognize the violent reality of living under siege, occupation, and apartheid makes no one safer. No person, no child anywhere should have to suffer or live in fear of violence. We cannot ignore the humanity in each other.
As long as our country provides billions in unconditional funding to support the apartheid government, this heartbreaking cycle of violence will continue.” (Source.)
She even clarified her remarks after being continuously slandered by the Zionists:
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, facing censure motion, calls Hamas actions ‘war crimes’
U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, said Wednesday evening her critics are purposefully distorting her position to make it seem she is sympathetic to Hamas and its attacks on Israel, which she called “war crimes.”
Speaking to the Free Press, Tlaib — who is the target of a censure resolution filed by another member of the Michigan congressional delegation for her comments — said there is no defense for the atrocities committed by the group, which the U.S. government labels a terrorist organization.
But neither, she added, is there for any extreme retribution exacted by Israel on the civilians in the Gaza Strip from where the attacks were launched or the human rights violations committed by Israel against Palestinians under its control.
“They were war crimes,” she said of the Hamas attacks last Saturday, which led to some 1,200 deaths, many of whom were civilians, including women and children, as well as threats that the group might kill hostages it took during the assault.
“It’s a war crime just like the collective punishment of Palestinians right now is a war crime.” (Source: Detroit Free Press – Subscription required.)
However, in what is perhaps one of the most hypocritical acts ever seen in the history of the U.S. Congress, it was Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia that actually filed the motion to censor her fellow U.S. Congresswoman. Greene has been one of the most vocal supporters of “Free Speech” constantly complaining about how the Left has tried to censor her.
Greene accused Tlaib of “leading an insurrection” at the Capitol when she joined together with Jewish pro-Cease Fire protests.
Greene introduced a censure resolution last week against Tlaib, one of two Muslims in Congress. The resolution accuses Tlaib of “antisemitic activity” after she voiced concern over America’s continued role in supplying arms to Israel as it engages in a bloody battle with Hamas following Hamas’ deadly Oct. 7 surprise attack.
Greene also falsely accused Tlaib of “leading an insurrection” in the Capitol complex when she participated in a pro-Gaza rally organized by Jewish advocacy groups last month. (Source.)
Is not the hypocrisy here unbelievable? They don’t like it when the events on January 6, 2021 are referred to as an “insurrection,” but they are just fine with using the exact same term to describe peace activists who peacefully protested in D.C. to call for a cease fire.
Tlaib never entered the Capitol, however. And here is what she said publicly at the Cease Fire rally, from her own mouth:
Do Rashida Tlaib’s comments sound like criminal hate speech inspiring an “insurrection” that needs to be censored, or do her comments sound like the words of a peace activist who wants the killing, especially the killing of innocent children, to stop?
Fortunately, the First Amendment lived to see another day, as the vote to censure Tlaib by the pro-murder, pro-genocide war mongering Zionists failed when 22 Republicans joined the Democrats to defeat the measure.
Those 22 Republicans then became the object of hatred and ridicule in the Zionist Conservative media.
Feckless Republicans Voted Against Censuring Pro-Terrorist Rashida Tlaib – Here are the 22 RINOS Who Sided with Democrats
The resolution to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who is the most pro-terrorist, pro-Hamas, anti-Israel, and antisemitic member of Congress, failed to pass on the House floor.
Last week, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) introduced a resolution to censure Michigan Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib for “antisemitic activity,” “sympathizing with terrorist organizations,” and “leading an insurrection at the United States Capitol complex” with radical pro-Hamas groups. (Editor comment: who were Jews, which they don’t like to mention.)
Hours before the vote, Rep. Greene expressed her disbelief that some Republicans are hesitant to support the censure. (Source.)
List of feckless Republicans that voted WITH Democrats to table my censure resolution against Rashida Tlaib.
This is why Republicans NEVER do anything to stop the communists Democrats or ever hold anyone accountable!!
PATHETIC.

We are in the End Times Now as Described in the New Testament when “False Prophets, Pastors and Teachers” Would Infiltrate the Congregations of Believers
For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men. (Jude 1:4)
The Christian Zionist cult in most churches today is based on “doctrines of demons,” and is calling for mass murder and genocide of not only Muslims, but also Christians who have lived in Palestine and the Middle Eastern Arab countries for hundreds of years before Islam even started.
Here is what Tennessee Pastor Greg Locke, a Zionist who represents most Zionist Christian pastors, says about Palestinians, which includes native Christians living there:
Which group, the Zionist Christians and politicians, or the pro-Cease Fire Jews and Muslims, are the ones calling for genocide where one group of people “doesn’t have a right to exist“?
The Zionists claim it is the Muslims who are the main ones calling for genocide, claiming that all Muslims believe that Israel “doesn’t have a right to exist.”
But has Rep. Rashida Tlaib ever stated that “Israel has no right to exist”??
That’s what the Zionists claim, as in the next breath they call for Gaza to be “wiped off the face of the earth.”
Notice this Tweet by “StopAntiSemitism” from 3 years ago:
Rashida Tlaib RT's out the same message that got Marc Lamont Hill canned from CNN.
From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free – code for eradicating the State of Israel and its millions of Jews.

Because Tlaib stated that “Palestine (her birth place) will be free” from river to the sea, this is, according to the Zionists, “code for eradicating the State of Israel and its millions of Jews.”
Can you Zionists not see the pure hypocrisy and the clearly prejudiced and discriminatory comments you are making against Muslims AND Jews for supporting peace?
I suppose not, because you (although certainly not all) Christians are no longer following the Gospel (Good News) of Jesus Christ, that ALL people, regardless of race, religious membership, nationality or any other way of classifying people can now be “born again” of the “Seed of Abraham“.
And that is the calling and duty of every disciple of Jesus Christ: to proclaim this Good News to every person on earth, which is what Jesus taught.
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20)
But false prophets, pastors and teachers, mainly the Evangelical Zionists, like Pastor Greg Locke who reportedly has a following online of millions of people, have now infiltrated the gathering of so-called “believers”, and this is exactly what the New Testament Biblical writers warned about.
Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt I had to write and urge you to contend earnestly for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints. For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe.
Yet these men speak abusively against whatever they do not understand; and what things they do understand by instinct, like unreasoning animals—these are the very things that destroy them. Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.
These men are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm—pastors who feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted—twice dead. They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever.
These men are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.
But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold.
They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.”
These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. (Jude)
In this passage from Jude in the Bible, most English translations use the word “shepherd” where I chose “pastor,” because the underlining Greek word in the original texts is the same: poimēn (and its verb forms).
In most places where the New Testament writers used this word, the English translation uses “shepherd.” The sole exception is usually in Ephesians 4:11, which uses the English word “pastor”.
King James of England, who was also head of the Church of England, decided to “authorize” that the English word “pastor” should be used here instead of “shepherd.”
As I have often written in the past, we should be consistent in our English translations of the New Testament original documents, and use one word or the other.
So for the purpose of this article, I am choosing to always use the English word “Pastor” where the original Greek word is “poimēn.”
Jude wrote that these “pastors” only feed themselves, and “They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted—twice dead. They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever.”
While this was written to believers living in the First Century, just years before the Temple of Jerusalem, and the city itself, was about to be destroyed, it most certainly applies to the Zionist Pastors operating in churches today.
There are no lists of “qualifications” for “pastors” to serve in “churches” written anywhere in the New Testament, and not a single leader of the New Testament Congregations ever referred to themselves, or other leaders, as “pastors.”
That title and designation was reserved for one person, and ONLY one person, the Pastor Jesus Christ:
For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Pastor and Overseer of your souls. (1 Peter 2:25)
So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: pastor the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.
And when the Head Pastor appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. (1 Peter 5:1-4)
These verses refer to Jesus Christ, the only one qualified to bear the title “Pastor”.
But if there is any doubt about this, listen to the words of Jesus himself, as he contrasts the false pastors with himself.
I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The man who enters by the gate is the pastor of his sheep.
The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.
But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”
Jesus used this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them. Therefore Jesus said again,
“I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
I am the good pastor. The good pastor lays down his life for the sheep.
The hired hand is not the pastor who owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.
The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.
I am the good pastor; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also.
They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one pastor. (John 10:1-16)
Who will you follow today?
Will you follow the “pastors” who are hired hands and receiving an income for “pastoring” and will run away when they see danger, such as a killer “virus”, and whom Jesus called “robbers and thieves”?
Or will you follow the “One Pastor”, the “Head Pastor” who laid down his life for the sheep, as you “contend earnestly for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints“?
I will place over them one pastor, my servant David, and he will tend them; he will tend them and be their pastor. I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David will be prince among them. I the LORD have spoken. (Ezekiel 34:23-24)
