Free Speech is Dead
This is not clickbait or conspiracy theories; it is the unvarnished truth laid bare.
It's high time we recognize the audacious maneuver by the American ruling class, orchestrating a grand illusion of redefining democracy itself. This isn't just an adjustment; it's an outright annihilation of democratic principles, rendering Congress obsolete, turning voting into a farce, and relegating the Constitution to mere historical artifact, incongruous with the dominion these elites envisage not just over Americans, but the globe.
They've dared to repurpose democracy from embodying the populace's will to safeguarding what they dub “the sanctity of democratic institutions.” Yet, what farce do these so-called institutions represent?
Far from being bastions of democracy as we know it—Congress, the rule of law, an independent judiciary—these have been supplanted by the machinations of a censorship industry. This cabal includes the military/security complex, the State Department, NATO, and an array of others, including financial behemoths like Black Rock and JP Morgan Chase, all masquerading as consensus-builders while commandeering the narrative.
Dissent against this constructed consensus is blasphemously branded as an assault on democracy. Democracy, it seems, has been hijacked, commodified by these elite institutions, insulated from what Hillary Clinton derisively terms “the Trump deplorables”—the very people democracy is supposed to serve.
The plot thickens as we see academia, tech giants, and even lawmakers, entwined with entities like the World Economic Forum, endorsing this perversion of democracy, tacitly acknowledging the Constitution's 'inconvenience' to their overreaching ambitions.
Witness the State Department, embroiled in thwarting legislative oversight into governmental censorship spanning topics from COVID-19 to geopolitical tensions.
The curtain was pulled back by Tucker Carlson and Mike Benz, unveiling the architects of our surveillance—not the shadowy Rothschilds or Bilderbergs, but a visible American oligarchy committed to burying the First Amendment.
This decision isn't looming on the horizon; it's happening here and now. The intent is clear: to morph the internet and social media into monolithic echo chambers of sanctioned truth.
The libertarian dream of digital freedom of speech is being crushed under the weight of reality, exemplified by the tribulations faced by Elon Musk for daring to champion free discourse on X. California and the European Union's crusade against Musk illustrates the lengths to which powers will go to suppress dissent, demanding he capitulate to the whims of the censorship regime.
The future looms dark, with alternative voices and social media poised to become mere mouthpieces for the “consensus-building elite institutions.”
This is why independent journalism matters. And every time you see an article of mine, it matters more. With a contribution as modest as $6 a month, you have the power to make a tangible difference, ensuring that my voice remains vibrant and heard amidst the cacophony.
The facade of “democratic institutions” as pillars of free society crumbles upon closer inspection, revealing an intricate network dedicated not to fostering democracy but to its very censorship.
This network, comprising the military/security complex, State Department, NATO, CIA, FBI, IMF, World Bank, NGOs, and the like, masquerades as the guardian of democratic sanctity. Yet, in a stark contradiction, dissent against their manufactured consensus is vilified as an affront to democracy itself.
It's a perverse irony where democracy is monopolized by these elite entities, safeguarded from the very populace it's supposed to empower, relegating the will of the people to mere backdrop noise.
This twisted narrative is not only endorsed by the high towers of academia and the giants of Silicon Valley but also by the very legislators and overseers entrusted with our governance.
Such complicity reveals a chilling acceptance of a democracy devoid of democratic input, where the foundational principles of the Constitution are deemed inconvenient obstacles to the wielded power over the citizenry.
Yet, as this grand deception unfurls, the broader tapestry of Western civilization faces an unprecedented erosion, marked by the criminalization of medical truth and the unabashed manipulation of immigration policies for ideological agendas.
This is not speculative; it is the grim reality unfolding before our eyes, as governments weaponize openness and diversity against their own foundational principles.
This narrative of decline is perpetuated by a populace either too ensnared in patriotic fervor or too disillusioned to recognize the tyranny encroaching upon their liberties.
The promise of heavenly salvation is manipulated to pacify dissent, while the doctrines of American exceptionalism blind many to the internal decay undermining the nation.
In this era where the uncomfortable is shunned and truth criminalized, the guardianship of our liberties demands more than passive observance. It requires an active, vigilant resistance against the encroachment of censorship disguised as national security, against the Orwellian redefinition of democracy, and against the institutional betrayal of constitutional principles.
As this revelation unfurls, the need to safeguard the remnants of truth becomes paramount. In an age where digital footprints are erased with Orwellian efficiency, the preservation of dissenting voices in tangible, unerasable forms becomes a rebellious act of defiance.
In dissecting the deep-seated corruption and the intertwining of political power with corporate interests, as exemplified by the Atlantic Council and the Burisma scandal, we uncover not just a failure of governance but a deliberate subversion of ethical standards for geopolitical and financial gain.
This narrative, underscored by the audacity of power displayed in the leveraging of aid for personal vendettas, reveals not just individual malfeasance but a systemic rot that threatens the very foundations of democratic integrity.
The revelation of the United Arab Emirates Embassy's substantial donations to the Atlantic Council, with contributions exceeding $1 million, alongside a significant addition from the UAE’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, paints a disconcerting tableau of influence peddling and opaque financial transactions at the heart of what purports to be a bastion of democratic discourse.
This financial entanglement suggests a transactional dynamic wherein hefty donations seemingly sway the council's advocacy, notably speculated in the push for the UAE as the host of the UN's 2023 climate change conference—a decision marred by the absence of transparency regarding these financial contributions.
The Atlantic Council, a linchpin in the machinery of censorship and a purported defender of democratic integrity, finds itself embroiled in controversy, bankrolled not only by foreign states but also by the unwitting American taxpayer.
Grants from the Departments of Defense, State, and Energy, along with the US Agency for International Development, underline a grim irony where government funds fuel the erosion of the democratic ideals they are sworn to uphold.
The roster of the Atlantic Council's benefactors reads like a who's who of global corporate and governmental powerhouses: from tech giants and financial institutions to foreign ministries and oil companies:
COMPANIES:
Abu Dhabi National Oil Company
Amazon
Aramco
Chevron Corporation
Crescent Petroleum

This situation transcends mere ethical dilemmas, veering into the territory of a systematic undermining of democratic governance by elite institutions.
These entities, through financial muscle and strategic influence, appear to co-opt platforms like the Atlantic Council to redefine democracy in service of their agendas, sidelining the public will and obscuring the lines between advocacy and lobbying.
The disclosure of these transactions and affiliations, far from the realm of conspiracy theory, invites a critical examination of the integrity and motivations of think tanks that wield significant influence on policy and public opinion. It calls into question the very foundation of their advocacy and the implications for global governance when decision-making is so heavily influenced by vested interests.
This elucidation is not merely an exposition but a rallying cry, a demand for the awakening of the collective consciousness to the insidious erosion of our democratic ethos and the imperative of safeguarding our fundamental rights from the voracious appetite of unchecked power.
I am just working my way through The Predators versus The People | Mees Baaijen available on Substack. The research is on a level with your thoroughness Lily and gives not only the history of how financiers have run the world for centuries but considerable detail on events over the last century leading up to the threats now inherent in WEF Great Reset. I recommend as many people as possible invest the £20 in a years membership to receive a comprehensive understanding of the threats we are all now under. The quality of his work is on a par with yours Lily and perhaps you should both get together if not already done so and we the public will be the beneficiaries. Keep up the good work.
A great read as always.
The west has no longer been won, it is for all its worth,now lost. The masses have been sleepwalking right through life, thinking all is well, albeit not normal. Hoping whatever it is that is going on in government or the world for that matter, would just come to pass. I dare say that this time it will not come to pass. Totalitarian regime’s are stepping in where once proud democracies flourished.
Here in Canada,a bill was tabled in parliament about a month ago, named C-63. It is a bill aimed at protecting children from online harms. Further reading into this legislation reveals major fines and possible life imprisonment for “future crimes” online. “Thought crimes” as it were. If deemed an online threat in the future, you will be punished, $75,000 dollar fines are the figures being tabled for a first offence. This is the 1984 and The Minority Report all rolled into one! Not unbelievably, the bill has passed first reading in parliament. Thanks to bought and paid for Liberal appointed senators and judiciary, it will certainly be passed into law by next year. I’m sure digital identity verification will be in force, in order to access any social media before the bill passes. Reality in Canada becomes more unreal by the day.
