? Benjamin Franklin

” We have a responsibility … to provide a rationally based and balanced service of news which will enable adult people to make basic judgements about public policy in their capacity as voting citizens of a democracy… We have to add to this basic supply of news a service of contextual comment which will give understanding as well as information… The moral responsibility of the broadcaster here is not simply to keep the ring open for all opinion, but to see that everybody has a chance to appear in it. ”

– Sir Charles Curran, former BBC Director-General, in a speech to the Edinburgh broadcasting Conference, 1971.

“To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker. It is just as criminal to rob a man of his right to speak and hear as it would be to rob him of his money.”

Joe Biden and Anthony Fauci are portraying the uninjected as disease carriers who need to be quarantined for the public good.

This is the identical tactics used the German National Socialists during the 1930s.

And the Biden administration is using the same tactics to punish those who refuse to take what they believe to be a poison.

During the record heat and drought of 1921, glaciers in the Alps were rapidly melting and there was a plague of vipers.

HEAT WAVE ON ALPS
DANGER OF MELTING SNOWS.
A PLAGUE OF VIPERS.
(Reuter’s Telegram.)
GENEVA, August 7. Drought has increased the dangers of the Alps.
The rapid melting of the glaciers has softened the snow-bridges over the crevasses, while miniature avalanches are most frequent. Many accidents and several deaths have been reported from the mountains in the past week, and hardly a day passed without tourists having to be extricated from crevasses, sometimes from a depth of fifty feet, or being injured by falling stones.
Another result of the heat has been a plague of vipers on the Lower Alps. Many vinegrowers have been bitten, and now tourists go on excursions and peasants start for work provided with bottles of brandy as an antidote against snake bites.”
