Resistance See other Resistance Articles Title: #BanTheADL and the Fight for Free Speech Liberal democracy is rule by media. In theory, the people rule. In practice, the will of the people is dictated. Public opinion is not the source of government policy, but the effect. Consider the actions of our government and allied NGOs and media organizations since 2016. Mainstream social platforms — especially YouTube, Facebook/Instagram, and Twitter (now X) — have purged a huge number of websites, organizations, and political figures. Even President Trump lost his accounts. An advertising boycott damaged Breitbart, and Fox News dismissed its most popular host after legal threats and media attacks. Its opponents celebrated. Bank accounts and website domains are vulnerable. The federal government works with “watchdogs” to censor and deplatform people. The corporate media cheer because reporters gain power if they are the only voices. Whether the excuse is to prevent “far-right terrorism,” “foreign interference,” or medical “misinformation,” the result is the same. Media power determines what Americans see, hear, say — and therefore think. Claims of a democratic “open society” are ridiculous. Any celebrity, “influencer,” or YouTuber can be purged any time. You could say no issue is more important than the right to stay platformed. Perhaps the most powerful censor is the Anti-Defamation League. It is supposed to protect Jews, but it is now just another liberal activist organization. Even National Review has repeatedly attacked the ADL for promoting censorship. Still, the ADL has more credibility than the Southern Poverty Law Center. The FBI stopped working with the SPLC, but the ADL still helps train all new FBI agents. At the ADL’s December 2022 “Never is Now Summit,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said that his organization “gels very well with yours,” and bragged about hunting “Nazis,” even as violent crime plagues the country. In the 1990s, the FBI investigated the ADL’s “extensive” spy network on Americans, but the groups have since kissed and made up. The ADL may now be in one of its worst fights ever. It began when Keith Woods, fresh from the latest American Renaissance conference, called for the ADL to be banned from X because it is trying to sabotage the company. He had tweeted about it in the past, but got far more attention this time. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
