The 1st Amendment Thread

Can you blame the BASTARDS? After all, Kerry Lake disclosed a recording
of the offering "...are we talking 10 million,20, 30 million dollars"?
If one's answer is anything more than none, then understanding of
morals is lost!

Getting Fired From My School - Warren Smith

Last Monday I was fired from my school after 4 years of teaching. I recorded this the following day in order to share my perspective - honestly & in good faith - in order to move forward and put this experience behind me. I have no desire to cause complications or bring unwanted attention to the school, so I will not divulge anything beyond that. It is important to me to be able to speak truthfully and honestly about one of the most challenging periods in the story of my life, in order to move onto a new chapter. I hope we all can respect one another's privacy, freedom of speech, and treat each other with dignity - even in challenging times.

I don't like sharks, but its time for this man to lawyer up. He is sitting on a Gold Mine. Again, they bloody your nose, you break their knee caps. As for his 'computer', if it was school property, it was never his regardless. I don't understand this part. Was his personal computer confiscated in a raid? Or was he dumb enough to store personal items and information on a pc that wasn't his own?

yes ..

Sounds like a work laptop .. and yes, like many people - he seems to have not followed good IT principles on it .. I've had to deal with this sort of issue countless times .. people take the easiest path and fail to prepare for what could happen.

 

[samplenhold]

I don't know about this person and won't bother to dig into this.

But SJ, you are right. He put personal info on a work computer? Did not back it up? Writing a novel on that computer and not back it up? Especially if as he stated that he expected something to happen a month ago.

 

[mat200]

makes an interesting point about fact checking ..

If something aligns with your bias you are less likely to fact check it .. and makes a good point that it would really actually be difficult to weed out fake news ..

How youtube censors ..

Think of Orwell's "1984", that's pretty scary. Now think about recent weeks in Great Britain, 2024......TERRIFYING. This is what Tulsi Gabbard is talking about in the following video she posted on X about America and our disappearing First Amendment rights.

On a side note, I can NEVER visualize Kamala Harris speaking this well. Hell, Harris can't even read or talk 15 seconds without a cackle.

I Was Arrested at Heathrow Airport as a “Terrorist” for My Journalism
Richard Medhurst

Aug 19, 2024
I was arrested at Heathrow Airport under the Terrorism Act, Sec 12 because of my reporting.
6 police officers were waiting for me at the entrance of the aircraft.
I was held for almost 24 hours and questioned.
I believe I'm the first journalist to be arrested under this provision of the Terrorism Act.
I feel that this is a political persecution and hampers my ability to work as a journalist.
