Are You A “Thought Criminal”?

- If we are not free to think what
we want, we do not have a free society. It
really is that simple. Unfortunately, there is
now an overwhelming consensus among elitists in
the western world that radical measures must be
instituted to control what people think. If you
insist on being a rebel, there is a very good
chance that you will be punished for holding
unorthodox views. You won’t necessarily be put
in prison, but our system has countless other
ways that it can punish you. For example, those
that insist on embracing unacceptable thoughts
will find that their career choices are quite
limited, and there are certain positions that
they will be prohibited from ever holding under
any circumstances. Not only that, but if your
thoughts are offensive enough you may have a
financial account suddenly shut down or credit
denied for seemingly no reason. This sort of
thing was unheard of a decade ago, but now it is
happening all the time. Of course you can
forget about having any sort of a substantial
social media presence if your thoughts do not
conform to current “societal norms”. Even the
“free speech platforms” are banning and
shadowbanning countless accounts every single
day.
If any of the things that I have just
described have happened to you, that is probably
because you are a “thought criminal”.
You are not supposed to contradict the
conditioning that you have received from our
education system, from the news media, from our
politicians and from the corporate entertainment
that you are being fed for hours each day.
When you deviate from socially acceptable
viewpoints, you are guilty of “thoughtcrime”.
This is how “thoughtcrime” is defined
by Wikipedia…
Thoughtcrime is a word coined by George
Orwell in his 1949 dystopian novel Nineteen
Eighty-Four. It describes a person’s
politically unorthodox thoughts,
such as beliefs and doubts that contradict
the tenets of Ingsoc (English
Socialism), the dominant ideology of Oceania.
In the official language of Newspeak,
the word crimethink describes the
intellectual actions of a person who
entertains and holds politically
unacceptable thoughts; thus the government
of the Party controls the speech, the
actions, and the thoughts of the citizens of
Oceania.
Sadly, we truly have become an “Orwellian
society” at this point.
In fact, a woman in the UK
was just arrested for thoughts that she was
thinking within her own mind…
The U.K. March for Life director was
recently arrested after police found her
praying silently outside of an abortion
clinic, according to a press release by
Alliance Defending Freedom U.K.
Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, a charity
volunteer and Christian, was approached by
police officers outside of BPAS Robert
Clinic in Birmingham, England, and asked if
she was praying, according to ADF’s press
release. Vaughan-Spruce told the officers
she “might be praying silently” and was
later arrested.
“It’s abhorrently wrong that I was
searched, arrested, interrogated by police
and charged simply for praying in the
privacy of my own mind,” Vaughan-Spruce
stated in the release. “Nobody should be
criminalized for thinking and for praying,
in a public space in the UK.”
Once she was taken in to the station, you
would think that those in charge would realize
that a huge mistake has just been made.
But instead of releasing her, she was
ruthlessly interrogated.
Apparently they were absolutely determined to
discover whatever evil thoughts that this
vicious thought criminal had been thinking.
And apparently they found something, because
now
she has been charged on four counts…
She insists that she is not a criminal.
But she doesn’t understand that the world has
changed.
Anyone that thinks unauthorized thoughts in
now a criminal in this system.
And at this moment there are countless
intelligence agents all over the western world
that are scouring social media sites for more
thought criminals.
Thanks to the release of the Twitter Files,
we now know that the FBI has spent an enormous
amount of time, effort and energy looking for
unauthorized thoughts on our largest social
media platforms.
When the FBI found unauthorized thoughts on
Twitter, requests were made to ban specific
accounts. This represented a gross violation of
our First Amendment rights, and apparently it
kept happening over and over again.
The FBI was confronted about this, and
this is how they responded…
“The correspondence between the FBI and
Twitter show nothing more than examples of
our tradition, longstanding and ongoing
federal government and private sector
engagements, which involve numerous
companies over multiple sectors and
industries.
As evidenced in the correspondence, the
FBI provides critical information to the
private sector in an effort to allow them to
protect themselves and their customers.
The men and women of the FBI work every
day to protect the American public.
It is unfortunate that conspiracy
theorists and others are feeding the
American public misinformation with the sole
purpose of attempting to discredit the
agency.”
And it has also come out that the FBI has
been paying Twitter and other social media
companies
millions of dollars for some reason…
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is
declining to specify what other social media
companies the federal agency gave money to
after Fox News confirmed that it paid
Twitter nearly $3.5 million.
FBI officials told Fox News that the
nearly $3.5 million payment to Twitter was a
“reimbursement” for the “reasonable costs
and expenses associated with their response
to a legal process… For complying with legal
requests, and a standard procedure.”
The FBI officials also said that Twitter
isn’t the only social media company that is
being paid by the federal agency, telling
Fox News “We don’t just reimburse Twitter.”
What exactly was that money for?
We deserve to know.
New Twitter CEO Elon Musk
recently stated that “almost every
conspiracy theory that people had about Twitter
turned out to be true.”
Reading that should chill you to the core.
Of course many other big tech companies have
also been colluding with the government to
suppress free speech, and
one recent survey found that the vast
majority of Americans want answers…
A recent poll shows that 63 percent of
Americans want Congress to investigate
“whether the FBI was involved in censoring
information on social media sites.”
The Twitter Files disclosures show that
not only did Twitter collude with the FBI,
it also worked with other government
agencies like the CIA and the Pentagon to
suppress information.
Musk said in a post on Dec. 27 that
“*Every* social media company is engaged in
heavy censorship, with significant
involvement of and, at times, explicit
direction of the government.”
As time rolls along, those that choose not to
conform to “societal norms” will be increasingly
pushed to the utter fringes of society.
If you continue to choose to be an
“independent thinker”, getting a “good job” will
be exceedingly difficult.
Just think about it. Right now, how many of
the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies are
“independent thinkers” that have unacceptable
belief systems?
If you want to rise in the pyramidal
structure of our society, you have got to
believe what the system tells you to believe.
Of course if all independent thought is
eliminated, our society will become the sort of
dystopian nightmare that authors such as George
Orwell
and myself have been warning about for a
very long time.
Even though I do not like much of what my
fellow Americans have to say, I vigorously
defend the right to say those things.
Freedom of thought and freedom of speech are
non-negotiable, and our system of government
simply will not work without them.
