On Sunday, when CBS’s Margaret Brennan shockingly claimed that “free speech” was the cause of the German holocaust and rise in Naziism, a stunned Secretary of State Marco Rubio simply replied, “I have to fundamentally disagree with you, Margaret.”  The reaction from American observers toward the interview, and in particular Vice-President JD Vance, was much less diplomatic. “This is a crazy exchange,” Vance said.

However, a few hours later the background context for Brennan’s position surfaced, when CBS 60 Minutes broadcast a defense of German laws that make it illegal to say something that can be construed as “insulting.”  The CBS segment is naturally alarming to people who will not accept definitions of approved speech determined by government officials; especially for most Americans who have experienced the extreme online control operations by govt interests around the COVID-19 fiasco.  Watch (prompted):

This is the mindset that JD Vance encountered following his honest remarks to the Munich Security Conference.  The Vice-President outlined in his remarks that Europe was devolving into a totalitarian state, destroying democracy and using the power of government against the freewill and liberty of the European people.

Vance was pointing out the big picture of liberty, freedom and the value of democracy.  After citing examples of oppressive EU action that included the nullification of the Romanian election, Vice-President Vance noted in his comments, “there is no security if you are afraid of the voices of your own people,” he said.  Continuing, “if you are running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing the American people can do to assist you.”  The EU collective, and specifically the German political leadership immediately decried the brutally honest remarks.

There is a particular irony in Germany saying that controversial speech is not protected speech, arresting people for what the state considers online antagonism, and then decrying Vice-President Vance for calling them out.  The need for control is a reaction to fear (inherent insecurity), and the actions by the German government are extreme.  However, for Germany this is particularly ironic.

We are only one generation from a time when the German ‘Stasi’ monitored the speech and communication of German citizens in order to maintain a brutally oppressive totalitarian state.   Now, in their effort to control the voices of those who oppose government policy, the German politicians are again reverting to the use of a new online German Stasi for exactly the same purpose.

Germany seeks to control speech, control information, and control the voices of those they define as “unlawful” subversives acting against their national interests.  CBS 60-Minutes highlights the policy and delivery of the process behind that control, while simultaneously supporting the totalitarian mindset.

In the bigger picture what CBS is doing is highlighting the anti-democratic view the media share, that information and speech must be controlled.

Thanks entirely to President Donald Trump, we are now entering an era where a Great American Awakening is taking place. We are watching moment by moment as newly revealed forces, govt institutions, judicial systems and political entities openly drop their masks, forcefully coming out in opposition to the sunlight and transparency President Trump represents.

Without any motive other than restoration, revelation, understanding and the reprioritization of freedom and liberty inherent in the Make America Great Again proposition, President Trump, DOGE, Elon Musk and all of those amid their teams who are pulling back the curtain hiding corruption, are facing extreme opposition by ‘elites’ and communists who have created decades of institutional control systems.

This supernova blast of Trumpian sunlight upon the corrupt systems of U.S. government has only just begun to penetrate.   The tentacles of the metastasis extend beyond our borders into the global institutions those same ‘elites’ and communists have controlled.

From the United States Senate, through the Judicial Branch and across the Atlantic into the European Union, NATO agenda and Brussels, we are only just now witnessing the scale of the problem.

Stay strong!

There are more of us than them.
