Scott Pelley Delivers Commencement Address: "Freedom Of Speech Is Under Attack," The Country Is "Calling You"

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘Why attack universities? Why attack journalism? Because ignorance works for power.

First, make the truth seekers live in fear. Sue the journalists. For nothing. Then send masked agents to abduct a college student, a writer of her college paper who wrote an editorial supporting Palestinian rights, and send her to a prison in Louisiana and charge her with nothing. Then, move to destroy law firms that stand up for the rights of others.

With that done, power can rewrite history. With grotesque, false narratives, they can make heroes criminals and criminals heroes. And they can change the definition of the words we use to describe reality.

“Diversity” is now described as “illegal.” “Equity” is to be shunned. “Inclusion” is a dirty word. This is an old playbook, my friends. There is nothing new in this. George Orwell – who we met on the street in London – in 1949, he warned of what he called “new speak.” He understood that ignorance works for power.’

Freedom to lie out your ass with no consequences is under attack, smelly Pelley.

LOL, I guess he wasn't around when Alex Jones was fined a billion dollars by democrats for exercising his free speech. He apparently believes that free speech includes disingenuous reporting of events like he and CBS/Paramount have been guilty of. Try again. Gaslighting doesn't work anymore.

Of course, freedom of speech was under constant attack from the Potato Administration.

But it’s not under attack under the Trump Administration.

Scott Pelly is just upset that Trump has called out the rabid bias of See B.S “news” and 60 Minutes.

Needless to say, dipshits like Adam_Clayton_Joke lap up that dishonest crap from a terrible reporter like Scotty.

The left has used institutions of higher learning to indoctrinate our young people...banning anyone who dissented from their view from presenting a differing viewpoint by claiming that such speech was "dangerous" to the health and safety of students. Now Universities are being rightly called out for being a breeding ground for anti Jewish hate. That's not "fascism"! That's reality.

Universities have been attacking free speech for a very long time.

So save it.

Why invite Democrats to do commencement speeches full of doom. gloom and their political hatred of Donald Trump? Pompous fucks like Pelly, Walz, Obama, Biden just crap all over the best day of their young lives. Democrats should disgust every American.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

Some of our universities are fostering Islamonazi hate.
DEI is full of far left hate, racism, stereotyping and prejudice.

Standard take over strategy .
The first areas for attack on truth .

Ideally a revolutionary first executes all "intellectuals ".

My reply:

The Biden regime is finished. We no longer let illegals protest at colleges or use taxpayer money to fund Democrat propaganda or let Perkins Coie have security clearances that no one else has.

Move to Iran if you don't like it.
