Government Actions and Authoritarian Trends to Erode Free Speech

A resurfaced 2019 video shows Kamala Harris arguing for the Department of Justice to crack down on extremist speech and holding social media firms accountable for failing to police their material. This is consistent with broader worldwide efforts to repress dissent, as seen in the United Kingdom and France, where governments censor and jail citizens who challenge official narratives—furthermore, a recent US. The Department of Defense’s directive allows military force, including lethal action, to assist law enforcement in emergencies, raising concerns about potential abuse of power. The article warns of a growing threat to free speech in the United States, implying that globalist goals are behind these efforts to silence dissent and impose authority. It contends that if the First Amendment is violated, other constitutional rights may suffer.

Editor’s Note: This is concerning and demonstrates the rising authoritarian approach to dissent in the United States. Rather than preserving free expression, the government appears to be keen on silencing ideas that it considers inconvenient or dangerous in the name of combating extremism. This pattern of control, which is already evident in other nations, threatens to undermine the fundamental rights granted by the First Amendment. The recent Department of Defense rule authorizing the use of military action against American people in “emergencies” raises fears that the government is preparing to repress any opposition, particularly ahead of the elections.
