‘Tyranny Is Back in Style’ (2015, 2018)

Year after year they chop away at our freedoms. It was worse in 2018 than it was in 2015, and worse now than it was in 2018.

Tyranny is Back in Style

The “pro-choice” crowd keeps trying to take away all our choices, Big Tech censors all dissenting voices–does anybody get a whiff of the old Soviet Union here? It burned itself out in Russia, but looks like it took root in the West. Here the tender shoots of tyranny are tended and nurtured by Biden & Co., Trudeau Ltd., and Fauci Inc.

God defend us.

 

China: More Restrictions on Christians Using Social Media

Chinese censorship is spreading beyond its borders | Financial Times

Remember at all times that American Democrats and other leftists passionately love Communist China and would like to do here everything that the communists do there.

China has one of the largest Christian populations in the world, and the communist death cult doesn’t like it. China pretends it has religious freedom: ask the Muslim Uighurs about that. You can find them in the concentration camps.

Earlier this month the Chicoms added some more restrictions to Christian use of the social media: blocking content on the “WeChat” platform (a Chinese equivalent of Facebook); removal of Christian accounts; and blocking Christian search terms, including “Christ,” “Bible,” and “Gospel” (https://barnabasfund.org/us/news/china-places-further-restrictions-on-christian-social-media-content/).

The government is doing these things in response to “complaints,” it says. Where have we heard that before?

Do we still want to ship our capital, our jobs, and our technology to China?

Well, yeah! I mean, the Big Guy has to get his 10 percent! And China can help Dems win elections. Oh! And the NBA really, really loves the Chinese Communist Party. They don’t want it coming apart like the Soviet Union did. The world’s biggest communist country is the Democrats’ spiritual home.

Big Tech likes ’em, too.

Censorship Abounds

A few days ago I posted a YouTube video of a priest, Fr. James Altman in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, standing up for the truth: declaring, in no uncertain terms, that you can’t be Catholic and be pro-abortion (https://leeduigon.com/2021/04/30/another-priest-stands-up-for-truth/).

Last night Dawn Renee wanted to see that video, only to find it had been taken down. Earlier this morning, Phoebe tried to comment on it, only to see her comment disappear instead of being posted. I found the comment in the spam folder, where it should not have been, and moved it to the post where it belongs.

I went back to YouTube and was surprised to find Father Altman’s videos still there. I will now pause in writing this to look again.

[Ten minutes later] Well, I can’t find that particular video on YouTube just now. But there are still some other Father Altman videos present in which he makes the point, “You cannot be Catholic and a Democrat. Period.” Like this one.

Let’s see how long this video stays here before someone removes it. Who? I don’t know. If somebody out there knows, please tell me. Why? I think because Big Tech is imposing a rigid censorship regime. How? I have no idea.

They think that by silencing us in the social media, they’ll stop us. Like, if we can’t say it, we won’t be able to think it. But we do say it, sunshine, and we do think it; and you are not fooling us. We see what you’re up to and we don’t like it!

O Lord our God! Give us the tools and weapons that we need to fight the ungodly and turn them back from their attempted conquest of the earth. Give us greater courage than theirs, greater endurance, greater strength, and greater intelligence than theirs. Confound them and defeat them: fight for us, O God. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
