The ruling elite is dead serious about taking away free speech. It's the thing that's most dangerous to them. We now have "free speech zones" in America, where you have to stand if you want to "protest" during a dignitary's visit. 20 years ago such a development would have seemed like "horseshit"...couldn't ever happen in the "Land of the Free."

But then you all know this. What I find more interesting now in this thread is how you folks can be presented with real legal cases and announce it's all the stuff of conspiracy theories. That really is fascinating. Someone please tell me how you make the denial thing work for you.
