Bill Whittle: Silence Drudge!

If someone was trying to limit or suppress your First Amendment rights in America today, what would that Tyrant look like? A dictator in a military uniform? Or a soccer mom in a corner office?

In this weeks Firewall, meet Susan Ravel of the FEC and Lois Lerner of the IRS — two smiling tyrants weaponizing the government against conservatives and following direct orders from the very top of the Democratic leadership. See the video and transcript below. 

TRANSCRIPT:

Hi everybody; I’m Bill Whittle and this is the Firewall.

Let’s say someone wanted to take away that uniquely American right — the one upon which all of this success and prosperity and happiness and freedom is based: Your First Amendment right to freedom of speech. What would that tyrant look like?

This, right? Someone like this. Or this. Or this. Nah. Not here. That’s not how tyranny looks in America:

((ANN RAVEL))

This smiling, normal-looking woman is Ann Ravel. She heads the FEC — the Federal Elections Commission.  She’s a Democrat in a Democratic administration pursuing the Democratic party’s goal of intimidating, jailing and otherwise harassing their political opponents, who are mean because they don’t like being told what to do, or to think — the way nice people do. So she has been ordered to weaponize the government against unregulated speech — we don’t call it “free speech” any more because that term is archaic and also probably racist.

It’s not like she doesn’t want to! As a typical progressive Democrat, Ann Ravel has two overriding psychological needs:

First, regulate everything. How on earth with people like Ann Ravel and, for that matter, the President of the United States, ever be able to feel secure when the American people are just running around starting businesses willy-nilly, or irresponsibly making internet videos that don’t conform to the Official Truth, or reading news stories — “news stories!” — on places like Fox or the Drudge Report.

No, the idea of something being unregulated — like, say, the internet — is anathema to these control freaks, so the chance to regulate something — anything — is good to go right out of the gate.

Even better:  Ann Ravel not only wants to regulate the internet, she wants to target those regulations against conservatives on the internet.

You see, apparently, a couple of ads were run, for free, on YouTube. Those ads said mean things against President Obama, and that’s wrong! So now, this smiling, ordinary-looking, soccer-mom-type fascist tyrant is threatening regulate content on Websites like the Drudge Report — weaponizing the government and using it’s coercive power to stifle criticisms of DEMOCRATS. Drudge, you may remember, cut his teeth by exposing the fact that Monica Lewinsky — unlike all of the other liars and bimbos before her — had actual, physical evidence of President Clinton’s philandering, predatory infidelities against unknown, powerless young women. But the Drudge Report said mean things against a Democratic President, and that’s wrong!

According to the lights of people like Ann Ravel, this what can happen without regulations and the threat of punishment, and sites like The Drudge Report have no First Amendment protections for a free press because saying mean things about Democratic Presidents is not news. It unregulated opinion. Saying mean things against Republican Presidents — THAT’S NEWS.

Ann Ravel says she will also be looking into videos like the one you are watching now, Thought Criminal. Needless to say, I had assumed my license to speak my mind was printed on a piece of parchment, sealed in nitrogen behind bulletproof glass in the National Archives, but that doesn’t cut much ice with fascists like Ann Ravel, or the people that give her her marching orders.

Now for those of you who say it cannot happen here, that this is all a tempest in a tea party, let me show you another face of fascist tyranny in America: Lois Lehrner, director of the Exempt Organizations Unit of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. On May 23rd, 2013 she was placed on administrative leave following allegations that she had used the IRS — in other words, weaponized the government — to target Tea Party groups for genuinely excessive, illegal, immoral and utterly shameless scrutiny, which in one case I happen to have first hand knowledge of. She was cited for Contempt of Congress in 2014, because apparently, all of the email regarding these selective examinations and enforcements disappeared when her hard drive failed. And the legally required back ups failed. And something like one thousand other IRS computers hard drives also failed. Plus THEIR back-ups. Some emails, however, sent just before these unfortunate coincidences indicate her discussing these issues with the Department of Justice, which means it was directed by this guy, which means it was directed by this guy. This same guy, who when asked if there was any evidence of corruption in the IRS, replied “not a smidgeon.” Unregulated laughter is punishable by law, oh, and by the way: prepared to be audited.

((BILL OF RIGHTS))

None of this means anything to these people: First Amendment Right to free speech; Second Amendment right to self-defense, Fourth Amendment right to be secure in our Persons, Houses, Papers and Effects; the Tenth Amendment admonishment that those powers not specifically granted the Federal Government are reserved to the States, or to the People — it’s all just parchment for them — a bit of decoration, like Washington crossing the Delaware — suitable for framing in a museum that no one visits anymore.

It’s certainly not the law, because as we know, the law is what the Chicago political machine says it is.

Nice Bill of Rights you got there. Be a shame if something happened to it.

    This reminds me of early 1977 when Playboy (!!!) published a piece: “The First 100 lies of Jimmy Carter” As a young liberal I was shocked that someone would actually do this and violate the Universal Rules of Decency, i.e. criticize a Democrat in the extreme. Twenty years later a liberal childhood friend of mine said the same thing about reports of Clinton’s lies about the Monica escapade. By that time I had gotten more independent and replied that I really wanted to know whether a lie had been told, something that apparently had not occurred to him.

        I hate KIA’s Davie. In my opinion KIA and you are excrement laden worthless heaps.

        • MoLee

          A Kia is pure junk. Once it is driven off of the lot, it loses more value than any other vehicle.

  • Gee

    To paraphrase your President – “You like your rights – you can keep your rights”, of course the government reserves the right to ignore them as it does all other laws it doesn’t like

    • lowell

      When they come for the Second Amendment, it’s on. Some of us prefer death to tyranny. We’re not going off to Fema camps.

        If we get out & vote today & take the entire Congress away from the boy tyrant & his lawless regime, the first sentence could read “If they come for the Second Amendment …”. Let’s hope we can substitute if for when but, if they do come for our Constitutional rights, force must be met with force.

    The biggest danger to a totalitarian authority is the internet. Other countries recognize it and try to regulate content. I was so glad to see the HUGE protests in Hungary against the internet tax. People aren’t stupid. First comes the tax, then comes the regulations to “protect the children” or baby seals, or whatever else looks good in print. I love the fact that people can rant on the internet (like Matt Drudge started out doing). Free Speech is our most precious commodity as a country. Cherish it.

      The environment………..they must tax and regulate the internet for the “environment of the democrats” sake.

      If diversity isn’t forced, why is there affirmative action & racial employment quotas?

      If diversity isn’t forced, why aren’t White people allowed to vote to
      stop mass non-White immigration in EVERY & ONLY White countries?

      If diversity isn’t forced, why is assimilation of non-Whites in EVERY & ONLY White communities forced?

      “Diversity” is a codeword for White geNOcide.

      Anti-Racist is a codeword for Anti-White.

    Drudge is a main stream news aggregator, no threat to anyone.

    • JamesBenson

      Drudge is a threat.

      Those links lead to news stories that the corrupt mainstream media tries to suppress.

      Imagine if everybody started getting informed and then thinking for themselves– it would be anarchy.

      • info warrior

        Uh, no.. He links to main stream (conservative, establishment) sources.

        • dontcare4uatall

          So, CBS is now conservative? Yeah right. 70% of links go to a cbs local affiliate to put a NATIONAL spot light on news stories.

          • info warrior

            All the main stream corporate media is conservative. Pro-establishment, illiberal and pro-government. The only exception would be a couple of people on MSNBC who have the courage to challenge Obama on his war policy, NSA spying and other things.

          • JamesBenson

            That is complete BS, and rather stupid, too, if you are implying that “conservative” business people own the media and that makes the media conservative.

            The only people that matter are the people who produce the news– not the absentee ownership. The people who produce the news and hire all of the liberals to report and manipulate the news are overwhelmingly Dems and/or liberals. Outside of FOX, there are no anchors who are not liberal. (Even that goof, Shep Smith, is a liberal news manipulator.)

          • info warrior

            Shouldn’t they all be liberal? After all, journalism is a liberal profession. People who dig into the lies and corruption of establishment politicians.

  • sb36695

    Does Drudge speak? I only notice links to other sites.

  • Private Joker

    Yep, the demwits love the internet but hate the freedom people have on it.

  • chesterlab

    can’t we just silence Bill Whittle instead? What a windbag.

    • JamesBenson

      Good idea. We’ll just turn the country over to you and Lois Lerner.

      What could go wrong?

      • chesterlab

        Listen, you SOB. Don’t EVER compare me to Lois Lerner. She is a lying sack of manure who should be in jail. And DON’T post to me again. I don’t communicate with internet trolls.

  • Earl P. Holt III

    There are three kinds of people in America:

    There are those who read Drudge, there are those who do not, and then there are the communists who want to censor Drudge…

    • Larry

      And want to silence not only Matt but Whittle as well, huh Chester?

  • Larry

    We need to stomp these people out at the ballot box &, if unable or unwilling to do that, then we will have to stomp them out on the battlefield of every city, town & wide spot in the road, all across this country.

    I would much rather do it at the ballot box as it is much less messy that way. Everyone, please get out & vote today. Your country needs your vote for freedom.

  • dontcare4uatall

    What worse than liberal? A liberal Womyn.

  • JamesBenson

    GFY,

    I will “communicate” as I want, even with a douchebag like you, despite you being a waste of time.

    • chesterlab

      Yeah, WELL SO WILL I, MORON. HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT.

  • joshuasweet

    So far it is far worse than what is stated, the Congress that is supporting these actions with out accountability, blame someone else. swings both ways Congress lacks character in following their job descriptions and sworn oaths of Office at all federal levels, as well as the one the military takes.

    “historical reason” ????
    A REASON for discriminating against one group because their SKIN COLOR perhaps matches the skin color of persons who discriminated against others ????
    THAT IS THE ONLY LINK…
    MY SKIN COLOR MATCHES THAT OF PERSONS WHO OWNED SLAVES, so persons with a different skin color are GIVEN my money, are placed ahead of me & mine, simply because that skin color matches ????
    KFUC the supreme court…
    Apologists & worthless mother-kfuc-ers…

    Sexual Politics (LIBERALISM) is SATANIC, Feminist and Gay¿¿

    Isaiah 3:4 RHE
    And I will give children to be their princes, and the effeminate shall rule over them.

    Sexual politics is both feminist  and homosexual,  with no distinct line separating them. Feminism has been the more overtly political doctrine. Until recently, gays asked mostly to be left alone and as such gained widespread sympathy.
