"The Right to Think for Yourself"
Consequences of State Control of the Overton Window
by Robert W. Malone, MD, MS
Excerpt: "By means of ever more effective methods of mind manipulation, the democracies will change their nature; the quaint old forms… elections, parliaments, supreme courts and all the rest… will remain. The underlying substance will be a new kind of Totalitarianism. All the traditional names, all the hallowed slogans will remain exactly like they were in the good old days. Democracy & freedom will be the theme of every broadcast & editorial. Meanwhile, the ruling oligarchy and its highly trained elite will quietly run the show as they see fit."
- Aldous Huxley, 1962
"Our minds and our speech are what make us uniquely human. Our ability to conceive and communicate our personal view of the world around us is a central aspect of ourselves and of our person. To compromise or limit the ability of an individual to exercise freedom of thought and speech is to make that individual less human. This type of activity is not only intrinsically oppressive and fundamentally damaging to the human soul, it is a form of theft. Those who seek to limit thought and speech without permission to do so are stealing something of value from those whom they oppress. In so doing, they make the oppressed less human. They are literally stealing a fundamental asset of the individual without consent. In “The Anatomy of the State”, Murray Rothbard argues that there are two means of producing wealth:
Economic Means refer to producing and exchanging goods, services, and value through voluntary human effort, creativity, and entrepreneurship. They are additive and generate wealth for all parties involved. Note the keyword “voluntary,” which implies a lack of coercion, enticement, compulsion, and reliance on informed free will.
Political Means refers to using force or coercion to seize wealth from others. Political means are reductive, distorting incentives and undermining long-term prosperity. For example, taxation is a form of theft in which political means are used to seize wealth from others.
The censorship-industrial complex, in collusion with corporate media, works hand in glove with the State to use political means to seize involuntarily your ability to think and speak your own mind. The censorship-industrial complex, their media partners, as well as those companies that practice Surveillance Capitalism, are stealing value from you without your permission in order to enrich themselves at your expense."
