This website has committed donors, but it needs more of them. \u00a0The website is widely read, which raises the question why those who value the website enough to read it do not contribute to the financial security and continuation of the website.<\/p>\n

I have in a number of articles explained the fate of truth tellers. \u00a0They live a high risk, low reward life. Chris Hedges explains in his article below what is happening to Matt Taibbi, formerly\u00a0Rolling Stone<\/em>\u00a0magazine\u2019s top attraction. \u00a0Taibbi, is a leftwinger who told the truth and was punished for doing so. \u00a0Today he is being persecuted by the IRS for reporting the Twitter files released by Elon Musk which show that the FBI pressured Twitter to censor truth tellers on every subject.<\/p>\n

TRUTH LIVES on at\u00a0https:\/\/sgtreport.tv\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The suppression of truth is occurring everywhere in the Western \u201cdemocratic\u201d world. \u00a0Julian Assange has been in prison for a decade without due process of law simply because he reported leaked documents that revealed US war crimes and US deception of its allies.<\/p>\n

Fox News \u00a0removed Tucker Carlson from his large audience but instead of firing him kept him under contract, paying him $20 million yearly in order to silence him.<\/p>\n

I could go on with example after example.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that liberty is a modern creation dating from the Glorious Revolution in England which established the principle that the King and his government were accountable to law and the people.<\/p>\n

The enforcement of government accountability requires free speech, so America\u2019s Founding Fathers made free speech the First Amendment to the US Constitution which defines how we are to be governed.<\/p>\n

Without free speech there is no justice and no liberty. \u00a0The Biden Regime is being successful in \u00a0stamping out free speech. \u00a0The media doesn\u2019t notice. The universities don\u2019t notice. \u00a0The law schools and bar associations don\u2019t notice, the courts don\u2019t notice. \u00a0Indeed, free speech, a Constitutionally protected right, is being actively suppressed as \u201charmful,\u201d \u201coffensive,\u201d \u201cmisinformation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Democrat Party, the law schools, the media, the universities and public school boards are determined to revolutionize American society. \u00a0They are achieving their goal by redefining truth as what serves their agenda. \u00a0In other words, a blatant lie can be true if it serves an elite purpose. \u00a0Expression of the real truth undermines their agenda and is demonized as \u201cmisinformation,\u201d \u201cRussian interference,\u201d \u201cdomestic terrorism,\u201d \u201cwhite supremacy,\u201d and is on the verge of being designated as a crime, as many are experiencing, including medical doctors who saved lives with Ivermectin and HCQ for the reward of having their medical licenses pulled for exposing Fauci and Big Pharma\u2019s lie that there was no cure for Covid.<\/p>\n

When a country\u2019s institutions become as corrupted, as hostile to truth, as America\u2019s\u2013and indeed the entirety of the Western World\u2019s\u2013the civilization is lost.<\/p>\n
