So, who made YOU the Grand-PoohBa of “Responsible Digital Citizenship”, Superintendent Kirk Beitler?

December 19, 2021 Skip

Yes, he’s back from his leave. And he’s taking a rip against “misinformation”, fear, and feelings. Right. He wants to be the Grand Arbiter of what is “responsible digital citizenship” yet he’s all in on Coerced Speech when it comes to enforcing that the rest of us must allow our speech to be coerced when … Read more

Biden’s DHS Secretary Escalates the Cyber War on Free Speech

December 18, 2021 Steve MacDonald

If you’ve said anything The State can’t abide on platforms like Facebook or Twitter they’ve been Johnny on the spot about letting you know. Even the UN is in on the game, telling hosting companies to shut down websites they have decided “promote” hate speech.

The UN and Big Tech Team Up to Make Websites Dissapear!

December 4, 2021December 3, 2021 Steve MacDonald

The United Nations is in the division business. That is, dividing you from your domain name if it decides your website promotes online extremism or hate speech. One call to your hosting company, and if they are of that big tech anti-free speech bent, your web address will no longer resolve anywhere online.

November 25, 2021 Steve MacDonald

Hal Shurtleff, the director, and co-founder of Camp Constitution lives in Alton, New Hampshire. The 2022 Camp takes place in Plainfield, NH. He is also at the tip of the spear in a Free Speech case before the US Supreme Court with a long list of support, none of it from NH.

SAU16/Exeter: Court Costs Piling Up, What are They Trying to Hide?

November 25, 2021 Ann Marie Banfield

Seacoast Online is reporting that SAU16 has expended more than $28,000 in legal costs in less than six months. I’ve been wondering how much money they were spending on legal services to defend all of the court cases filed in this district.

Let’s Try Again – GrokInterview with Cornerstone’s Ian Huyett: Lawsuit over Exeter School District’s Speech Coercion Policy JBAB

November 25, 2021November 24, 2021 Skip

I don’t know what’s gong on with GabTV but I keep getting complaints that the videos we are putting up are not behaving well: “stuttering,” video starts and then stops for good, the video stops but the audio keeps playing, and other scenarios in between.

Cornerstone’s Ian Huyett on the Lawsuit against the Exeter School District Policy –

November 18, 2021November 17, 2021 Skip

It seems that the NH School Board Association (“NHSBA”) Policy JBAB is now getting the attention of people who value the First Amendment’s Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion (“free expression”) over the social mob’s outlook.

Sometimes You Actually Have to “Fight” for Freedom

November 12, 2021 Rick Notkin

Some thoughts have floated through my head after attending the nice Veterans’ Day ceremony in Laconia this morning. Veterans’ Day now honors all active and retired Armed Forces members. It matters not whether they served in wartime or peacetime or whether they volunteered or were drafted.

Who knew that Baby Huey hasn’t figured out that Consistency breeds Trust yields Votes? And in his case, poll numbers that don’t head south almost as fast as President Asterisks’.

City Censorship

October 24, 2021October 24, 2021 Op-Ed

Censorship takes many forms. It has even woven its web of deception into our city government and specifically our elections. The current trend to curtail free speech and with that ever-important flow of information has, as usual, been wrapped up in a blanket of virtue and sold to the people of Laconia as the only proper way to have elections for the good of the city.

How the Left Has Redefined Words in the COVID Era

October 23, 2021 Op-Ed

From the beginning of the alleged pandemic, the ruling class has been as dishonest as possible in their response to Covid. Much of their power over the hysterics have derived from the manipulation of language. At times it was counterintuitive, but fear overpowers reason in weak-minded people.

Kissing Religious Liberty (And the Rest of It) Goodbye

October 22, 2021 Steve MacDonald

Pro-government factions are using this Coronavirus to constrain the people. Not temporarily, but forever. These are not necessary measures to address a crisis. They are test runs for foundational policy—a new Constitution of constraint.

He was asked about freedom of speech under Taliban rule. It’s pretty brutal when a terrorist organization calls out big tech for infringing on people’s rights.

Another Thing “I Want for Christmas” Is an Anti-SLAPP Law for New Hampshire

September 8, 2021 Steve MacDonald

I’ve already noted elsewhere that I’d like the ‘Grok to have a steady Domestic Alexa rank of 10,000 by year’s end. We’re getting closer, and it’s only September which means I should ask for something else. How about an Anti-SLAPP law for the Granite State?

How Quaint – ACLU Claims to Be for Freedom of Speech … But Won’t Prove It

September 5, 2021September 5, 2021 Beth Scaer

I recently received an email from ACLU offering me a code to purchase items at a discount from their online store. When I visited the ACLU store, I discovered an I Read Banned Books Tote listed for sale with the description, “For nearly 100 years, we have opposed censorship in all its forms.” I thought, “how quaint” since the ACLU has switched sides on the issue of censorship.

The Chinese Government Bans Sissy-Men On Television

September 4, 2021 Steve MacDonald

The tentacle of the Chinese Communist Party that “regulates” what people in that nation see on television has announced that broadcasters must “resolutely put an end to sissy men and other abnormal esthetics,”

Requiring Gender Identity Pronoun Use Violates the First Amendment

July 22, 2021 Steve MacDonald

This is an exciting ruling, and by that, I mean exciting the way a child who has known their colors for years names them correctly. A court in California, of all places, has ruled that requiring proper pronoun use violates an individual’s first amendment rights.

Is President Asterisk Ruthlessly Deleting Wrongthink in Your DM’s and Emails?

August 6, 2021July 22, 2021 NITZAKHON

On my old blog, I had a post about the coming Great Silencing. In it I predicted that blogs would be shut down, fascist book, gulag, twit, etc., would be cracking down and ruthlessly deleting wrongthink posts (if permitting them to go up at all thanks to algorithms and AI scanning). This would go well past the ongoing cancel culture and shadow banning to include emails and DMs.

What took so long? I figured this out as soon as I saw this “Preferred Pronoun” Transgender nonsense!

July 21, 2021 Skip

I can thank my teachers of yore for the fine education I received growing up – we studied history, we studied the actions and philosophies that drove that history. Basic American Civics and norms were driven into our heads. Once becoming politically active, these lessons came alive again and the political advocacy we engage in … Read more
