The "Freedom to Hear" has long been recognized as at least a corollary to, if not even more important than, "Freedom of Speech". But this undermined critical right is being openly abrogated by Musk.
Thank you both! Sam, I should have you on the show. Give me a call if you are interested, or DM me at @Afterhours_live (my Twitter pirate account). 615-905-5185
So Jordan Peterson has written in favour of the invasion of Irak? Lybia? Syria? Etc. he has certainly kept it a secret this whole time. But that is easier for him, I guess, given how he has all the media eating from his hand (CNN, NBC, CBS, NYT, WaPo, BBC, etc...). Those damn establishment ghouls...!
As for the Babylon Bee, again I'm in shock. How can someone that posts things like "Turkey Denied Presidential Pardon After Photos Emerge Of It Attending January 6" can at the same time be in favour of the neocon agenda in the Mideast... that's beyond me... I swear before god never again to find their posts extremely hilarious.
Thanks for enlightening me, Sam. You're a true journalist.
You'd have to do more digging if you want something on each of those, but Peterson was recently in Jerusalem with propagandist Ben Shapiro and seemingly shed tears for the wonders of Israel.
First of all thanks for your response. It took me a few days to reply to this as you might very well have changed my perspective on this topic. I had a hard time considering JBP as part of any establishment until I saw your response which coincided with new videos and interviews with him and Netanyahu (clearly part of some campaign from Bibi's team). Obviously, no one should be reduced to any one interview, nor should I say anything before I actually see it. Also, I must add that I don't think JBP is so naïve that he doesn't understand that. But it doesn't look good prima facie, agreed.
Same thing regarding the Babylon Bee...
Anyway, thanks, I will be following your work more closely from now on and try to be less of a douche myself.
PS: JBP 's interview of BN is by far his most ratioed one so far. It means his audience is not duped either.
I developed great regard for Nadine Strossen after her reading her book, "Hate". Did she share any analysis with you about how the ACLU has slid away from its erstwhile commitment to protecting actual intellectual freedom, whatever the perspective?
Good question. As I recall from the interview, she was a bit defensive about acknowledging that it had declined. I didn't have a substantial discussion w her other than what's in the interview.

Hi Sam, It's "The Last American Vagabond" not "This American Vagabond". Thanks for this article.

Hello Sam, thanks for sharing this article. Just how exactly are Jordan Peterson and/or the Babylon Bee members of the establishment? On what issues?
Good question. They are tacitly or explicitly pro all the post 9/11 Mideast wars and pro Israeli domination.
I'm in shock, I honestly didn't know any of that.

Excellent point: Why should the public not know who the dissenters are! List please.
Senator blahblah blah wanted this particular person banned!
