There was a famous saying during the Vietnam War that you had to destroy a village in order to save it, now it seems this policy is being resurrected by the Democratic Party and the Biden administration where we have to destroy democracy in order to save it.

Democrats have turned the 2024 presidential election into one that Democracy itself is on the ballot and if former President Donald Trump were to regain back the presidency, the very foundation of our republican form of government would be over.

Every chance President Biden gets he continually claims that “Democracy” itself is on the ballot, but has anyone examined the presidency of Joe Biden and what have the Democratic Party have done to the very individual freedoms enshrined in the Bill of Rights found in the U.S. constitution? Most notably the right to free speech.

Across America we have seen “free speech” under assault like never before. What we are seeing is the largest censorship operation in the history of this country. Every effort and method are being used to silence those with opposing viewpoint.

Our once grand institutions of higher learning have turned into an echo chamber where only one voice, one view point is heard, thereby silencing all opposing thoughts and ideas. Many of these once esteemed colleges and universities have purged themselves of any conservative or libertarian views and are now vilifying those opposing viewpoints as hate speech.

During the COVID-19 pandemic censored scientists who offered opposing narratives on coronavirus polices. Esteemed medical and epidemiologists such as Sunetra Gupta of Oxford University, Jay Bhattaacharya of Stanford University, and Martin Kulldorff of Harvard University spoke on the need to examine past pandemics and argued against the shutting down of businesses, schools and other areas of society.

These experts in their respective fields suggested on how we need to protect individuals most at-risk of contracting the virus, but instead they were vilified publicly and in the end were proven right.         

The damage done has harmed the scholastic educational standards for the nation’s children many will never recover from this loss of learning and this will forever affect future earning potential.

This was at a time President Biden was extolling the nature that social media companies need to be involved in greater censorship as to prevent the “killing of people.”

President Biden, upon winning the presidency in 2020, was heralded as returning normalcy and decency to the White house, and would usher in a new age of American exceptionalism as it relates to constitutional norms.

If America had a true independent media they would find that President Biden has done everything he claims Trump would do if re-elected as president.

Just as President Biden claims to be preserving and protecting Democracy he advocates a mantra that was popular during the Vietnam War, “You have to destroy the village in order to save the village.” His administration has done everything they claim Trump will do if elected as president.

Th entire premise of the first amendment is any state control over the media whether by constraint or through direct regulation. What we have learned that President Biden has found willing accomplices in the media and in social media companies by perpetrating the largest censorship operation in the history of the county.

Many of the censorship operation was directed at political stories that greatly impacted the 2020 presidential election, most notably the Hunter Biden laptop story, which was first reported by the New York Post right before the election.

This laptop was left abandoned at a computer store by Hunter Biden that not only included his drug abuse and his associations with prostitutes, but showed vivid details of millions of dollars secured by foreign interests through alleged influence peddling, all with the knowledge of Joe Biden.

For years the Biden’s have been accused of using Joe Biden as the liaison in securing millions of dollars from foreign business interests. Twitter and other social media companies blocked any mention of the New York Post story, and ran with the story this was all Russian disinformation.

Eventually, after the election Twitter admitted this story was in fact true and the laptop was in fact authenticated a year prior by the FBI.

Democrats were outraged and pushed back on Twitter that they need to be more aggressive in censoring opposing viewpoints as a way to combat disinformation. Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) commented that social media companies needed to expand its censorship operation or face a potential congressional backlash; meaning government regulation.

This was all laid bare by the release of the Twitter files which showed how deep and pervasive the censorship operation had become. The Twitter files revealed how federal agencies worked with social media companies in censoring individuals and groups.

This included the FBI working with social media companies in this censorship operation, with many former FBI officials working for the social media company, now what we don’t know is how the other social media worked in conjunction with the federal government.

Once Biden became president he had set up a Disinformation Governance Board (DGB) inside his administration and only was forced to disband it when the public became aware of it.

This article only touches on a small sampling of the censorship operation conducted by the Biden and the Democratic Party, but as constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley of George Washington law schools writes in his book, “The Indispensable Truth, Free Speech in an Age of Rage,” Biden is the worst president since President John Adams in the suppression of free speech.

Remember the old biblical verse, “He who is without sin let him cast the first stone.” Unfortunately Biden and Democrats believe that you must destroy the village to save it, they now want to destroy Democracy to save it.

Who is the real threat to Democracy?
