Anit-war Voices

 


Until I sat down to write this post I had never heard of Antiwar.com or The American Conservative. I viewed the Antiwar.com website first. The first few headlines I read were: "Save Ukraine from American Meddling." and "Julien Assange is Free, but Justice has not Been Served."Antiwar.com Even sitting in my own home, I felt weird reading these headlines. You would never hear this on the mainstream media news channels or read them in most newspapers these days. The media is very one-sided. The ideas on Antiwar.com go against everything the Biden Administration stands for.  What we hear on the news and read in the papers is very much in line with what the government believes is important. We are told we have to defend Ukraine's border because if Ukraine falls, the rest of Europe will fall.  Washington and the mainstream media have people believing that it is more important to protect Ukraine's border than our

own. Concerning Julian Assange, we have been told that he was arrested and put in a London jail for publishing classified US material. The way he has been portrayed in our media as such a bad guy, it was a shock to see a headline that may actually suggest he is not a bad guy. 

When I went onto The American Conservative website, the first headline I saw was "The VA Must Stop Working for Illegals."The American Conservative This stunned me! In the media today, you never see anything negative about illegals. The Biden Administration is very vocal as to how we should view the illegals that are entering our country and they do not want anyone to view them negatively. Instead of the Sedition Acts of the past, the Biden Administration has figured out they can suppress information by controlling the narrative. This article actually explained how our veterans have been on waitlists for years to get seen by doctors and that the backlog of cases has tripled under the Biden Administration, However, somehow they have time to process medical claims for the illegal immigrants. The Biden Administration makes sure that the media shows their view and their view alone. Illegals are the


administration's priority.  There is one reason and one reason alone as to why we do not see these anti-war websites and the Conservative viewpoints and that we have to seek them out ourselves. It is because the Government does not want us to disagree with initiatives. They have priorities and they want everyone to fall in line. In place of the Sedition Acts, they choose to suppress information by controlling the media.

Privacy Lost

 Our world has changed positively and negatively, over the past twenty-five years since scientists at CERN created the World Wide Web. (https://home.cern) The positive changes include how the internet transformed how the world does business. The Internet made doing business, easier, faster, and more efficient. For example, before the Internet, documents such as contracts or invoices, had to be sent through the US Post office, or by courier, or faxed. All of which took time. Thanks to the Internet, these documents can be sent and received immediately through email or text. Another positive is how websites such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok enable us to keep in touch with friends and family who may live far away. We can keep them updated with pictures of what we have been up to. However, as wonderful as all of these positives have been, they have come at a cost. The cost has been our privacy. Before the internet existed, we determined who saw our pictures, who we told about our vaca

Values of Free Expression

The Values of Free Expression   After more than a century of religious oppression under European and colonial rule, the framers of the US Constitution sought to create a more enlightened society where fundamental freedoms would be protected and thereby create a stronger country and society. The founding Fathers came up with the Bill of Rights and one of the amendments was the First Amendment which protected the freedom of speech, religion, and the right to assemble from government oppression. Many of these ideas were articulated in the Federalist Papers and were derived from philosophers and economists such as John Locke and John Milton. James Madison, who was one of the authors of the Federalist Papers, "introduced 12 amendments to the First Congress in 1789. Ten of these would go on to become what we now consider the Bill of Rights."  The Constitution In 1859 John Stuart Mill published On Liberty. "Is thought to be the origin of translating market competition into a th

News Sources-Blog #1

I get my news from several different sources because I like to hear multiple points of view. I want to understand all sides of an issue. I want to hear other perspectives, so I can decide where I stand on any particular issue. Here are five of my favorite news sources.  1. Fox News: To be honest, I started watching Fox News with my parents when I was young. They made me and my siblings watch Fox News, CNN, and BBC every weekend. They instilled in us the belief that it is important to know all the different views so we can make our own decisions. Now that I am old enough to vote I realize that this was really good advice. So now, I watch Fox News because I want to hear the conservative point of view. It is important to get the conservative point of view because it is a Presidential election year. I want to make sure I hear both sides before I vote in November. I would recommend this news source because it will give you the conservative view that you will not get on any of the other main
