General Chat (Non-Music-Related)

Seriously, does it bother you that free speech is dead? That may be news to some and harder for others to believe, but now what you tweet, what you say to someone, or something you do or do not believe in will cost you.

Question: How would you feel if YOU were the student who spoke what he believes is truth, and incidentally it is truth, and gets punished for that?. (Article below)

What if you said something to a co worker and they turned you into the "boss"? What if he doesn't believe that someone like you should be working in his business? We all know that this happens all the time in dirty politics, but what if it drifted down to your personal level? Well it has, and this story verifies it. So here it is in real world America, persecution of truth through belief or statement has come to the people, to the defenseless. It shall come through your neighbor, or your child, or a friend repeating something to them that they did not approve
Those in power wish to pass legislation branding deniers of Climate Change as criminals, fining deniers or imprisoning them for saying Climate Change is a farce. I believe I posted that story here on BandMix a while back. But here it is, the speech and thought police reaching their claws down from on high to persecute the common citizen. Social sites monitoring what you say and reporting it to those who have the ability to punish you.

Purdue Student Criticizes Black Lives Matter on Facebook Then Receives a Letter From University

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2016/07 ... niversity/

A Purdue University student has claimed that he faces disciplinary action from his school for criticizing the Black Lives Matter movement on Facebook, according to Heat Street.

Joshua Nash, a biology major and a gay conservative, told The College Fix that he recently wrote on Facebook:

Black Lives Matter is trash because they do not really care about black lives. They simply care about making money and disrupting events for dead people.

He said the comment was later reported and removed, and his account was suspended for a month.

Then, Nash received a summons from Purdue’s Director of Student Assistance, Leadership, and Conduct.

For you Socialists, FREE FOOD? These guys know how to make that happen.This is what all those fat pig politicians want for you, and this is the way we are headed. But what if someone with any power has a personal gripe against you, or if a friend of theirs has a gripe against you? Do you still get any food? What is war breaks out? How much food would you get? Or if the dictator decided people don't need so much food, we can allot less for them and sell the rest and sock away the money for ourselves. Naturally greedy conscious less politicians wouldn't suggest such a thing. But under Socialism cutting back the nations food supply for increased military weaponry is a standard, it seems.

Venezuela Puts Nation’s Limited Food Supply Under Military Control
Young children look in an empty refrigerator at a home in the Catia neighborhood on the outskirts of Caracas, Venezuela, on Thursday, June 30, 2016. In an attempt to regain control, President Nicolas Maduro has tapped loyal neighborhood groups, called Local Committees for Supply and Production (CLAPs), and put them in charge of distributing as much as 70 percent of the nation's food.

Venezuela’s socialist president Nicolás Maduro has launched the Great Mission of Sovereign Supplying, a program which places the nation’s food supply in the control of the military, who will choose where to distribute the food and monitor ports accepting foreign food supplies.

Maduro announced the move Tuesday, appointing Minister of Defense General Vladimir Padrino López as the head of the program. As the BBC notes, the great mission will be able to establish how purchases and distribution of food, medicine and household goods are made. It will control five of the nation’s largest ports and regulate the function of the nation’s food processing plants.

I was shocked when they arrested a film-maker in California who made a parody film called "Innocence of Muslims" to cover for Obama/Hillary's failure in Libya....and relatively no one protested that.

Our "fearless leader" would like to censor the 1st Amendment rights of anyone who speaks out about the crimes of Islam.

I haven't heard about this Ted.

Ted,

Have you heard about this? China censoring OUR movies? Where is Pravda on this? Now there are some things that need to be censored, such as the movie and TV industry promoting leftist propaganda in films as they often do. I used to like to watch "Bones" but they will stop doing what they are doing during a scene and "chat" about the pro's of abortion or slam first amendment speech, promote the leftist agenda on gun control, or diss marriage and any other topic leftists do not support. Brainwashing viewers under the guise of innocent conversation, and they do it quite well. I see that sort of crap more and more in movies.

Here is just part of the article about the methods China is using to take over the film industry. You should read the whole article at the link below.

Richard Berman: China Is Taking Over America’s Film Industry

Political expert Richard Berman appeared on Wednesday’s Breitbart News Daily with SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon to discuss the USA Today column in which he exposed Communist China’s infiltration of the American film industry.

What’s going on here is a strategic play by China that’s flying under the radar, where they know that they can’t come into the United States and buy a defense firm. They can’t buy the New York Times. But what they’re doing is that they’re buying up all the movie theaters in Washington. They’re buying all the movie theaters in New York. They’re buying all the movie theaters in small towns across the United States, Berman explained.

When you buy up movie theaters, you also buy up movie production companies, which they’ve already started to do, he continued. You get to control what people see when they go to the theaters. If you put out a movie that China doesn’t like they have a censorship agency in China, it’s a mouthful, but it’s called the State Administration of Press Publication, Radio, Film and Television of the People’s Republic of China. It’s a pretty big mouthful. They determine whether or not films will be shown in China, and they will soon be determining whether or not films will be shown in the United States.

They’ve already got a record of changing films, he noted. If you want to show something in China they have changed ‘The Martian,’ they have changed ‘Transformers,’ they’ve changed ‘Red Dawn,’ they’ve changed ‘Mission Impossible 3.’ They’ve said to the producers: if you want to show a film that we don’t like, you can show it someplace else, but not in our theaters.
