Thoughtcrime: UK Veteran Convicted for Praying SILENTLY Near Abortion Mill

October 26, 2024

By Selwyn Duke Not long ago, France made abortion a “constitutional right.” Britain hasn’t followed suit, but it can’t because it doesn’t have a constitution. In a way, however, it’s going France one better (read: worse). Its government has just convicted a veteran and father of two for praying silently near an abortion “clinic.” The…
X Marks the Plot: “Defenders of Democracy” Trying to Destroy the One True Social-media Democracy

October 24, 2024

(Image credit: Beatchoose/Wikimedia Commons) By Selwyn Duke We hear continual warnings from the Establishment and the Left (and the overlap there is profound) about “attacks on democracy.” Donald Trump, of course, is supposed to be a “threat to democracy.” Yet it all appears like projection. Why? Because the self-proclaimed “defenders of democracy” are now aiming…
Many U.S. Mainstream Media Join Brazilian Socialists to Try to Destroy Elon Musk’s X

September 7, 2024

By Selwyn Duke The “world is not obliged to put up with [Elon] Musk’s extreme right-wing anything goes just because he is rich.” So said Brazilian president and ex-convict Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva recently, referencing his nation’s attack on Musk’s X social media platform. Only, he didn’t mention that “anything goes” doesn’t mean killing…
Teacher Who Wouldn’t be Part of “Trans” Child Abuse of Boy Jailed for THIRD Time

September 4, 2024

By Selwyn Duke It’s said that Saint Patrick drove all the snakes from Ireland. It appears, however, that he might’ve missed a bunch. That is, if a recent story out of the Emerald Isle is any guide. To wit: In a testimonial to our upside-down world, an Irish Christian teacher has been imprisoned for the…
Pandering to Muslims, U.K. Leftists Are Suppressing Another Part of British Culture

August 31, 2024

By Selwyn Duke Are you a Briton who’s upset that your government is quashing free speech and arresting people for social-media posts? If so, well, don’t take for granted that you’ll be able to drink your woes away. Because now the speech-squelching Labour Party, the equivalent of U.S. Democrats, has another bright idea. They want…
Dystopia Across the Sea: “Extreme Misogyny” to be Called “Terrorism”

August 20, 2024

By Selwyn Duke “Britain is now an elite dictatorship where majority opinions are crushed,” wrote the Telegraph last year. That was before, too, the recent imprisonment of Brits for unapproved social-media posts, for, quote, “stirring ‘racial hatred.” (Here’s the evidence, your honor: Here’s the cup the defendant used. Here, in a hazmat container, is what’s left of the…
Coddling Kamala: Media Now Want “Female Politicians” Protected From “Hate Speech”

August 15, 2024

By Selwyn Duke Lest you think our mainstream media are inveterate enemies of tradition, know that their opposition to it is selective. In fact, they now appear to want chivalry applied to female politicians, in the form of protecting them from negative social-media comments. “Don’t hit girls!” is what’s essentially being said. Perhaps coincidentally, too,…
Soviet NY: Letitia James’ Lawfare Has Killed a Conservative Website

August 3, 2024

By Selwyn Duke “The Land the Law Forgot,” is what liberal legal scholar Jonathan Turley called New York in June. Oh, it’s not that it doesn’t have laws; it’s got so many, in fact, that studies found it to be our country’s least free state. It’s that N.Y.’s supposed law enforcers are ideological enforcers, using and going beyond the Empire…
When the Feds Quash Free Speech with Legal Tyranny

June 29, 2015

By Selwyn Duke Imagine you run a website and are ordered by the federal government to divulge personal information on article commenters. Now imagine that the feds also issue a gag order preventing you from revealing what they’re up to. This is precisely what happened with award-winning libertarian website Reason.com Site editor Nick Gillespie related…
Orwellian America: Principal Fired for McKinney-comment Thought Crime

June 16, 2015

By Selwyn Duke "He did nothing wrong. He was afraid for his life. I commend him for his actions." The essence of this opinion, about ex-McKinney, Texas, police officer Eric Casebolt, has been expressed by many, including talk-radio giant Mark Levin. But the verbatim quotation above was in reality authored by high-school principal Alberto Iber…
