“If we don’t have FREE SPEECH, then we just don’t have a FREE COUNTRY. It’s as simple as that. If this most fundamental right is allowed to perish, then the rest of our rights and liberties will topple just like dominos, one-by-one they’ll go down.

That’s why today, I am announcing my plan to shatter the left wing censorship regime. And to reclaim the right to free speech to all Americans. And reclaim is a very important word in this case, because they’ve taken it away.

In recent weeks, bombshell reports have confirmed that a sinister group of deep state bureaucrats, silicon valley tyrants, leftwing activists, and depraved corporate news media have been conspiring to manipulate and silence the American people. They have collaborated to suppress vital information on everything, from elections to public health. The censorship cartel must be dismantled and destroyed. And it must happen immediately!

And here’s my plan.

FIRST ~ Within hours of my inauguration, I will sign an Executive Order banning any Federal department or agency from colluding with any organization, and business or person to censor, limit, categorize or impede the lawful speech of American citizens. I will then ban federal money from being used to label domestic speech as mis- or dis-information. And I will begin the process of a identifying and firing every federal bureaucrat who has engaged in domestic censorship, directly or indirectly, whether they are the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Health and Human Services, the FBI, the DOJ, No matter who they are.

SECOND ~ I will order the Department of Justice to investigate all parties involved in the new un-lined censorship regime, which is absolutely destructive and terrible. And to aggressively prosecute any and all crimes identified. These include possible violations of Federal Civil Rights laws, campaign finance laws, federal election law, securities law, anti-trust laws, the Hatch Act, and a host of other potential civil criminal regulatory and constitution offenses. To assist in these efforts, I am urging House Republicans to immediately send preservation letters. And we have to do this right now, to the Biden Administration, the Biden campaign, and every silicon valley tech giant ~ ordering them not to destroy evidence of censorship.

THIRD ~ Upon my inauguration as President, I will ask Congress to rush and send a bill to my desk revising Section #230. To get big online platforms out of censorship business. From now on, digital platforms should only qualify for immunity protection under Section #230 if they meet high standards of neutrality, transparency, fairness and non-discrimination. We should require these platforms to increase their efforts to take down unlawful content such as ~ child exploitation, and promoting terrorism while dramatically curtailing their power to arbitrarily restrict lawful speech.

FOURTH ~ We need to break up the entire toxic censorship industry that has arisen under the false guise of tackling so-called mis- and dis-information. The Federal government should immediately stop funding all non-profits and academic programs that support this authoritarian project. If any US University is discovered to have engaged in censorship activity or election interferences in the past, such as flagging social media content for removal of blacklisting ~ those Universities should lose federal research dollars and federal student loan support for a period of 5 years and maybe more. We should also enact new laws laying out clear criminal penalties for federal bureaucrats who partner with private entities to do an end run around the Constitution, and deprive Americans of their 1st, 4th and 5th Amendment Rights ~ in other words, deprive them of their vote. And once you lose those elections, and once you lose your borders like we have, you no longer have a country. Furthermore, to confront the problems of major platforms being infiltrated by legions of former deep-staters, the intelligence officials ~ there should be a 7 year cooling off period before any employee of the FBI, CIA, NSA, DNI, DHS or DOD ~ is allowed to take a job at a company possessing vast quantity of user-data.

FIFTH ~ The time is finally come for Congress to pass a digital Bill of Rights. This should include a right to digital due process. In other words, government officials should need a court order to take down online content. Not send information requests, such as the FBI was sending to Twitter. Furthermore, when users of big online platforms have their content or accounts removed, throttled, shadow-banned or otherwise restricted ~ no matter what name they use ~ they should have the right to be informed that it’s happening. The right to a specific explanation of the reason why. And the right to a timely appeal. In addition, all users over the age of 18 should have the right to opt-out of content moderation and curation, entirely. And receive an un-manipulated stream of information ~ if they so choose.

The fight for FREE SPEECH is a matter of victory or death for America. And for the survival of western civilization itself. When I am President, this whole rotten system of censorship and information control ~ will be ripped out of the system at large. There won’t be anything left. By restoring free speech we will begin to reclaim our democracy and save our nation.

Thank You and God Bless America!”

I read a post here that mentioned the date of the 15th was important for the purpose of waiting past a certain point to announce.

Being a handshake again sucks, because nobody will even see this question. I want my account back...

Okay, quite a set-up this has been, yes? There are always multiple possibilities.

He hyped this up so that the entire world would tune in: people who don't watch rallies and who might now start to see differently and ask questions...or be open to what's coming down the pike without freaking out.

Perhaps the focus was drawn to himself as a distraction from some other mission being carried out.

Was that the actual Trump?

Was this one of those "Make the opposition expend ammo" things?

I wholeheartedly and entirely reject the idea that we have to endure foreign interference in our elections any more, like ever. Clearly that infiltration goes way beyond just elections, but seriously...how can we even have a discussion about the next elections without addressing what's right in front of our eyes?

Which brings me to my next thought...Trump can't be the one who pushes the military button in the public eye. Maybe his speech was an activation, outlining all the fuckery (that we've all heard multiple times in rallies) so that literally anyone who breathes would wonder why it hasn't been addressed yet.

A tenderizing speech, as it were. And I'm assuming that he's putting his trust in all of us BIG TIME to keep the faith. The tenderizing is a prep for what will shortly be unfolding.

This was just a smokescreen.
