|content=Level 0: This is an attack on free speech in the public square.
Level 1 rejection: This is not the public square but a matter of for profit companies and the freedom to do what they please.
Level 2: Level 1 only works if there is a public sector of the internet for all to use.

|content=The Lesson of The Obama Era “Operation Chokepoint”:
There is something hidden in our collectivist do-gooding Impulse that too often starts with secretly wanting control over others and only then seeking altruisms to justify it.
The 1st amendment is an advanced check on this.

|content=Taken to its extreme conclusion, you will be free to bark ideas in a public park, only not to access banking, credit, electronic communication, education, the media. My old joke “Should Republicans be allowed to use the roads & phone system?” doesn’t seem all that funny in 2021

|content=The Portal invited Ashley Mathews in advance of the election to discuss this specifically outside of politics. This is not about politics, but about a class that wishes to use business to impose control over other lawful human beings. We cover it directly:

|content=Every business must now assess refusal-of-service as a fundamental risk. (There is zero reason to assume the targets of this trend will remain limited to "them.") On-premise will get renewed attention.

|content=Let me put this in the starkest terms. Our genius in the US is to NOT have our infrastructure nationalized. But laws like “Free Speech” don’t immediately carry over to the private sector. The idea of getting Tech-Finance-Universities-Media to shut down thought and speech is here.

|content=These new authoritarians are trying to make commerce & the market do what the government legally cannot: make life impossible for dissenters. For the first time, to preserve freedom we will either need to regulate or nationalize. Both of which are terrible options. We’ve lost it.

|content=With smear&ghost, they have simply disappeared an enormous wing of the party. Vanished without a trace.
So if you are here and sick of our insane tech-media-academic-political “leadership” undoing our civil liberties, add your name?
With numbers, they can’t gaslight us all. 🙏

|content=I actually thought about this more...here goes.
What is going on is this: mainstream media and tech are co-creating an illusion. The illusion is this: the entire Left has gone stupid, corrupt & insane. And the way it is accomplished is by collective institutional make-believe.

|content=WHERE ARE OUR INTELLECTS ON THE LEFT SCREAMING ABOUT THE SHUT DOWN OF FREE SPEECH IN AMERICA? Have we such a failure in education that we have forgotten the value of our freedoms? WHAT’S HAPPENING IS DIRE! WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!

|content=All the civil libertarians are still here. The “free speech for ideas we hate” crowd is still here. The “Woke doesn’t make any analytic sense” crowd is here.
Ironically the Left leaning institutions are “manufacturing our consent” w forced “diversity & inclusion” loyalty oaths.

|content=Now, individually, we object. But I’m  told we’re “thirsty” by the internet if I say: “NPR, I used to have John Ydistie on speed dial” or “NYT I would talk to Robert Pear or Dennis Overbye or others with some frequency.” until something about 8-9years ago: Our lines went dead.

|content=This was about the time of the Obama Era “Dear Colleague” letter that converted the Universities to indoctrination factories. This is the era of the DOJ “Operation Chokepoint”. And many of us who objected were suddenly just frozen out. More or less completely with no explanation.

|content=Now, via you, I’m seeing this differently. I don’t need NPR/NYT or any of these outfits to talk to me. But they stopped taking to ALL of us. Effectively center Left media ghosted EVERYONE who didn’t sign on to the new extra crazy version of identity politics and safety culture.

|content=And this is leads to several illusions:
A) The Left is insane & wants the police abolished so some can riot, firebomb courthouses, suspend policing at will.
B) The Left hates borders.
C) The Left is all in on collective guilt for slavery.
D) The Left is done w due process.

|content=E) The Left has traded in Free Speech for Safety culture.
F) The Left wants equity as a cover for new discrimination and racism.
Etc.
But that is not what is happening AT ALL. The true Left HATES this institutional strategy. So institutions have settled on “Smear & isolate”.

|content=We just don’t exist if media never talks to us. And if we manage to poke through using podcasting we are classified by the zealots running this strategy as Alt Right despite an enormous number of Jewish surnames and prominent black intellectuals in our ranks. As if we vanished.

|content=What I now see is that I allowed the internet hyenas to push me off. The point isn’t that I need to speak to the press, but that the press has to speak to the Left who HATE the direction of our modern Democratic Party away from equality & fairness for all independent of identity.
