Free Speech to get Really Complicated

Source

Since the public education system has generally stopped teaching Civics, it is easy to mislead the uneducated as to why free speech is important and even what it is. But, why this massive apparently coordinated effort against free speech? In a free country, who could possibly win by loss of free speech?

There is far more at play than the inattentive and history-ignorant can imagine. Start here:

Atheist, Jewish, Catholic, Christian, and Muslim belief systems affect world politics. Believers are all looking for fulfilment of their eschatological (end-times) prophecies. Belief in the return of the Jewish race to Jerusalem and the rebuilding of the temple as signs of The End affects billions of believers and those believers affect everyone on the planet.

Muslims have divided into Sunni, Wahabi, Shiite, and more sects. The Koran’s eschatology is greatly colored in believer’s eyes by the Hadiths a particular sect considers authoritative. For ISIS the final battles at Constantinople, Dabiq, and conquering Vatican City are the signs Allah is come to clean things up.

ISIS believes that when the nations of the world lead by the Pope (?) attack them in Dabiq is when Allah will step in and defeat them leaving ISIS as the final caliphate. So, they poke western nations to incite the final battle at Dabiq.

You may not think atheists have an eschatological belief. Often an atheist’s religion is called Science. For some it is philosophy. Both speculate on the end of Earth and the nature of death. But, they treat those belief systems the same way others treat religious beliefs. For many it is a blind faith type thing. For some it is the postmodern relativism where each person has their own truth, which can’t stand up to any logical debate.

Atheists look at ‘religions’ as not dealing with or even acknowledging fact, scientific or other. But, consider a recent article in the Manhattan Contrarian: The “Science” Just Doesn’t Stand Up. The article is about the out-of-date 1950’s idea that fat ups cholesterol and that causes heart attacks… The belief has generated a multi-billion-dollar industry selling statins and another selling low to no fat foods. It is a belief held by nearly the entire planet regardless of religion or lack of.

For those into off-the-pier-conspiracies, the brain requires fat to fuel it. OK, fat is an over simplification of the large organic molecules associated with cholesterol. So, we have two huge industries catering to the dumbing down and confusing of people… (FDA stated side effects of statins thus aka: low blood fat.)

With almost 70 years of advancing scientific research now telling us 87% of all those having cardiac issues have low cholesterol and only 0.7% of those taking statins getting any measurable benefit people still believe fat and high cholesterol are a problem. Blind faith… something that is supposedly the providence of the religious. My point is all people do the blind faith thing for which the religious are condemned.

My point is the atheist is no more examining their beliefs than the religious challenge their pastors/priests. So, the behavior many consider an attribute of the religious is also typical of the atheist. They treat science as people do a religion.

The UN via Agenda 21 plan works for what they consider a “sustainable” world, which is ideally about 3 to 4 billion people. With 7+ billion on the planet we have 3 to 4 billion too many. What will they do with the excess? There is the politically acceptable answer, which they put in their public plans. But, common sense says the unspoken belief has huge implications. How much do they actually care about those excess people? Their actions speak much loader than their actions. Do we blindly accept? Then isn’t that UN plan pretty much a religion?

  1. Wow. Just … wow. I randomly looked at your blog again and was pleasantly surprised you done a good post intro … and then it just went into weird conspiracy rambles ending in a WW2 stand-off between Soviets and Nazis.

    First things first – you are right that both were an image of pluralism and just in a huge power scuffle along with USA which just dropped into war in 1942 just to flex muscles. Indeed, am from Poland aka. the country everyone wanted in central Europe (and now, no one would visit as they would get a brick to the head from neo-Nazis). My area helped Nazis murder local Jewish, Muslim, Greek Orthodox, Russian and Ukrainian people in the majority then. Afterwards Soviets invaded. Then radical conservative neo-Nazis but gladly I left for UK before that.

    However, this is only my experience and it is not yours or someone elses’ so on one hand you are right – SL does suffer from lack of free speech and Linden Labs having only USA offices nowadays does mean licking Chinese facist butts like Hollywood does.

    However, ISIS gives no fucks about Vatican or Pope – they care about fellow Muslims and their intention is to alienate them from anyone else due to biases created by them via fear, terrorism and media. You are actually a person ISIS would send a gift basket too as you eat their propaganda rather well.

    Other propaganda you swallow? Yes, millitiant atheist one – nope, Dawkins and the like are just few people who are loud and popular and still – atheism is not same everywhere. I was atheist in Poland due to not fancying Church and state intersecting, fanatic Catholicism ruling and being judged based on norms fundamentalist politicians created while saying Vatican did.

    I do fancy science same as any other person liking to know about the world around them and to me it fits most personal spiritual beliefs and … pretty much is same for majority – no one likes militiant atheists or religious fundamentalists just like no one supports Soviets or Nazis – those are movements only benefiting creators so you again tick the citizen part off.

    No idea what you mean about cholesterol and heart attacks as the connection never been denied by someone but am very sorry to inform you that ‘global warming’ does not mean ‘warming’ … Okay, not very sorry as you never research anything as it seems. Essentially we did a number on Earth due to industrialisation, coal mining, toxic fumes, freon use, stomping on various micro-environments and not giving a shit. Temperature and climate changes in cycles and we match predictions with those for now. Earth did not prepare for us littering to hell and back, murdering various species, leaking oils, dropping nuclear waste, exploding nuclear energy plants (Chernobyl was fun), causing ice caps to melt due to ozone barrier destruction and all other nice stuff.

    However, it is your right to believe otherwise and write otherwise which is absolutely grand and you do make your own conclusions and share them. Unfortunately, you also written a post on how SL should be separate from politics and here you say we are all affected by our beliefs.

    • You have a really odd take on historical information. I suppose, depending on your age, that would be from growing up in Poland pre-Walesa. The US entering the war to ‘flex’ its muscles? You should probably read up on that.

      SL doesn’t lack free speech. It has more than most US college campuses. But, it is not a public forum where the US Constitution applies its First Amendment. It is a private space where the Lab is entitled to control what happens in its house. The point is to clarify a difference between SL and RL ideas of free speech.

      To say ISIS doesn’t care about the Pope is ignoring the Muslims’ primary eschatology. A good reference book is Thomas Horn & Cris Putnam’s The Final Roman Emperor, The Islamic Antichrist. The number of citations and references, religious and secular, is amazing. You find a mountain of material to correct your thinking on Catholic-Muslim beliefs about the end times. You could also consider reading the Hadiths that describe Muslim eschatological beliefs, but that is rather tedious. Or an amazingly simple refutation to your thinking on the subject, just listen to what Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the head of ISIS, has and is saying.

      Your opinion on Catholic-Muslim beliefs reflects mainstream media’s and little if any relationship to reality.

      All belief systems have variations. Nowhere did I write any system is homogenous, without variation.
      I find the atheist belief system is striking in its disregard of science and history. To say you chose to be because you didn’t like how you perceive government and religion using people, is like ignoring the reality of the speed of light because you want to go faster. Reality exists without regard to what we personally want.

      In free countries, we can have Personal Belief Systems. Are you presupposing all religions are made up stories? Without any basis in fact? Therefore, you can make up your own?

      The cholesterol connection to cardiac problems is 1950’s & 60’s thought. You thinking no one disagrees with that thinking shows how effective the mainstream news, a propaganda system, is. Do some actual research to provide a foundation for your opinions.

      The Mayo Clinic and numerous others in recent studies point out the statistics showing the lack of causation and correlation in cholesterol-to-cardiac issues. My point was to show a facet of our society where the majority has been misled by the system. You step up and present yourself to illustrate my point. Thanks.

      As to my never researching anything, I think you are projecting. You seem to have bought into most of the popular propaganda of the day without doing any homework. Gee, everyone says…

      A massive propaganda campaign has been waged to support the UN’s Agenda 21. The primary piece started out as global cooling, then warming, and now is climate change. To believe giving trillions in an effort to someone to control climate that has changed for hundreds of millions of years is suddenly going to be altered by humans is absurd. It’s a ‘King ordering the tide to stop’ thing.

      At 400+ppm of CO2 we are nowhere near the historic high of 3,000ppm. In Russia and China where scientists are not constrained in direction by the social-political pressure of the West to conform, they are reporting what the minority of Western scientists say: current artic ice levels are at 1940 levels, temperature changes are within the ranges we have seen for 200 years and way less than the historic ice cores recorded. Our most accurate global temperature measure, satellites, show no warming for 20 years. Ocean buoy data, the most accurate, is ignored in favor of way less freighter intake temperatures because the later shows warming and the buoys don’t.

      You are a wonderful example of one mislead by propaganda and constrained reporting. Like most you direct your comments at me and never challenge the subjects.

      People have to dig for real news. To know who is telling truth and who is faking, they have to verify their information sources and maintain healthy skepticism.
