PANEL: The IMA Discuss Free Speech

The latest IMA panel discusses the principle of “free speech” and what exceptions (if any) should be made, including the age-old “fire in a crowded theatre” argument and the supposed “hate speech” exemption. They also tackle growing threat to free speech from both sides of the aisle in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination and the right’s embracing of their own version of “cancel culture”.

Panel Members: Ryan Cristian, Derrick Broze, Jason Bermas, James Corbett, Kit Knightly, Hrvoje Moric, Carey Wedler, Charlie Robinson & Steve Poikonen.

Please find a host who understands the role.

Alternatively, at least rotate who does it.

I have not seen the IMA panel discussions but my only comment is this: anyone can say anything if they are prepared to face the consequences (either legal or on a personal level). This is the reason we don’t tell our bosses at work that they are stupid (even if it’s true, what good can come out of that?). There should not be a “special” law about free speech, the normal laws and the common sense are enough.

It’s not ‘common sense’ to say that Jews can murder 100,000 people but no non-Jew can murder 3 Jews. It’s absolute racism.

I’m sure you would never express that as your pay packet is far, far more important than confronting racist murdering Jewry for behaving entirely analogously to Hitler’s nazis.

“He who controls the algorithms, controls everything.”
Confucius’s brother, 520 BC

Evidently, “All U.S. social platforms have an algorithmic leaning toward Israel, whereas Tik Tok doesn’t. The pro-Israeli billionaires who are set to buy Tik Tok insist that its algorithm must be ‘retrained”. Imagine that.

I wonder if we would even be having this discussion if it wasn’t for one thing:

“[What Zionists] face”, Blumenthal asserts, “is a political tsunami [of political realignment] in the United States, and they have no way of holding it back. And that’s why, in the wake of Kirk’s death, and in the days before his death, some of these Zionist Money Men have started a full-on takeover campaign of the U.S. Media. It’s like a full court press in the United States. Netanyahu had been waging a Seven Front War in the region, and now the United States has become the 8th Front. And they want to prevent anyone from being able to express themselves anywhere in the digital online ecosystem by just buying it all”.

My ‘selection of websites to use’ algorithm usually changes its selections when political editorial lines change radically. I stopped reading The Guardian, I stopped reading the Daily Telegraph, I’ve stopped watching BBC News, I don’t watch Channel 4 or ITV News either.

What needs to happen is people boycotting algorithms that lean toward Israel.

It’s very easy to do that at scale.

With regards to the Manchester Synagogue Event.

Jihad al Shamie, (dead bad guy – shot by cops) give me a f*ckin break, they might as well have named him Isis Al- Qaeda, I’ll say one thing for the boys and girls at Thames House (MI5) – they have a wicked sense of humour – of course innocent people do die in false flag events such as in the Manchester Arena bombing and 7/7.

The timing for this farcical false flag was impeccable, around – the, or just after – the Zionists illegally attacked the Sumud Flottila, and it was all to turn heads and change minds.
 
Oh and Jihad – lives at Whitehouse Avenue, they’re really taking the piss with this one.

That was a hoax, no one died or was injured there, unless it was a crisis actor cracking a rib laughing too hard.

Whatever took place yesterday doesn’t look like a hoax, if anything more likely a false flag, where people did die and were injured, since if it was a hoax it was an unusual place to do one. It was not a place such as a large public venue or on the street where people do not know each other. The congregation of a tight knit community would know each other, so shipping in strangers in the form of crisis actors would draw attention. Or attempting to recruit in advance for the hoax many regular temple goers, or even some would be a risky strategy.

Also, the Greater Manchester Police (GMP) were the only ones with firearms at the scene and have pretty much admitted to accidently killing one of the victims and injuring another. If it was a hoax, then that would be a strange storyline to include in the plot and one not to the benefit of the Establishment, or to the reputation of the GMP.

Lastly, an early story from an eyewitness, if true, said the attacker was almost robotic in his methodical attack mode. Could that be someone under mind control?

Well, it hasn’t turned my head and it’s not changed my mind either.

I will never declare that 100,000 non-Jews murdered by Jews is fine, but 3 Jews murdered by non-Jews is an outrage.

The First Amendment guarantees free speech, free assembly and redress, and freedom of press. These are non-negotiable as written. All peoples should adopt these inviolable rights as standard and basic. When in the hands of an authority who assumes interpretive jurisdiction, these rights are essentially abolished because interpretation allows use of rights as a weapon at their discretion. This is where it all goes wrong. Even in the instance of “screaming fire in a crowded theater”, false speech cannot be applied as a punishment because there are laws, or should be, for consciously causing a false emergency, which is actually the harm that needs policing. Personal expression must be free no matter what some would call potential harm. Just imagine policing advertising, that in the US lies as a matter of practice. Any words or images as communication must be allowed. Humans must become adept at reading representations and making their own decisions. Disabling First Amendment protections is a criminal act, made by criminals with a hidden agenda to stifle social activity and self-governing that threatens their autocracy.

So the ultra wealthy Zionists are paying online influencers $7k per article – these so called influencers have millions of followers who listen to the regularly.

The influencers are paid – to paint the Zionists and their genocide in a good light, the MSM also backs the Zionists.

Plenty of calling out of ‘fake staging of Kirk’ to be found online. It’s not a subject I’m that bothered about, however I don’t read anything written by Zionists, appeasers of Zionists and those bought by Zionists.

From Beijing’s military hospitals to secret “empty” clinics, shocking new evidence reveals the CCP’s darkest industry: infant organ transplants. Investigators say babies are being created and cut open—turned into “perfect donors” for China’s political and military elite obsessed with longevity. This video uncovers how the black chain works. With profit and power driving demand, baby organs have become the ultimate “human goldmine.” Is this medicine—or a crime against humanity?

I don’t doubt that the Chinese government undertakes some abhorrent shit against their population, as does the U.S. government or any other government, particularly in light of the recent global mRNA experiment, but the claim of infant organ harvesting for Chinese party leaders and oligarchs sounds sensationalistly similar to recent Israeli claims of babies in ovens on October 7, 2023, or babies on bayonets in the run-up to WWI.

If only I had not seen the latest glee in Chinese Leaders eyes and their bragging about a new era of ‘new gen science’ and future abilities to be 150 years old.

Just saying if anything can upset our Lord in heaven, it is when we begin to play gods with the human dna. The first time we did it we got global flood and only 8 people survived.

Have some of you non religious people seen an pagan explanation on why we today write in a hundred different languages and manners?
Some from left to right, some from right to left, others vertical, some with straight lines, other with pure bended letters, m.m.? Remember the Babel Tower punishment.

I’m leery of any news which might be presented, as sourced from a ‘hot mic’.
Have you seen the Seinfeld (Zionist-sympathizer) ‘lip-reader’ episode?

We’re all in danger of indictment by ‘hot mic’ and AI-voice-generated false evidence, by virtue of the ambient listening feature embedded in the weapons of mass surveillance we are duped into carrying with us, wherever we may roam.

That said, the super-wealthy profiteering muther-fuckers know that they can’t take it with them, so why not invest their criminally-aquired fun bucks and penchant for psychopathic sacrificial savagery to assure they can enjoy their spoils as they stretch their mortal coil and continue inflicting pain and suffering on a victimized revenue stream.

Two days ago, on the BBC news it was reported that a viable foetus can now be created from the cells of two male ‘parents’ and could then be implanted (presumably) in a surrogate or ‘artificial womb’. When the news reader finished the news item he looked at the camera and rolled his eyes. Whether he knew the story was fake or simply found it, as I did, unbelievably shocking (and also unbelievable) I’m not sure but the whole normalising of the nonsense really makes me sick at this point.

Will that foetus be fertile as an adult? I’m asking out of interest, or is the answer: ‘we don’t yet know’.

If two adults created a demonstrably infertile child just to tickle their own egos I’m minded to say they should question their fitness to be parents.

A small unfortunate minority are infertile due to nature’s fallibility, due to unforeseeable events during childhood etc etc.

There’s zero need to create people almost certain to be infertile just so a couple of gays can say ‘we created a child together’.
