I’m getting ready to interview @DowdEdward for my next podcast episode. Below is his data showing a dramatic rise in excess deaths in ages 15-44 in 2020-2022 (blue) and a corresponding rise in excess deaths from cancer starting in 2020 (red.) This is not from food.

Trump’s Free Speech Report Card https://dangerousintersection.org/2025/03/13/trumps-free-speech-report-card/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=trumps-free-speech-report-card&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=trumps-free-speech-report-card https://dangerousintersection.org/2025/03/13/trumps-free-speech-report-card/#respond Thu, 13 Mar 2025 21:46:10 +0000 https://dangerousintersection.org/?p=41847 I was happy to hear Trump’s strong rhetoric on free speech. Unfortunately, he is making major missteps in the real world. Matt Taibbi is also concerned. This is an excerpt from Matt’s article at Racquet News, “If Trump Blows it on Speech, the World is ScrewedWith civil liberties flatlined around the globe, Donald Trump is blowing off the First Amendment at the worst conceivable time“:

China guarantees free speech, unless it undermines “the interests of the state.” You can be fined 14.7 million yuan for comparing the army to a squirrel. In Russia jails are filling with regime critics, while papers like Novaya Gazeta are forced to suspend publication until after the Ukraine war. British police routinely conduct speech raids against offenders across the spectrum, Germany boasts about its thought cops on 60 Minutes, and the EU’s vast censorship law, the Digital Services Act, just played a role in helping overturn an election result in Romania. Around the world, from Ukraine to Australia to Israel to India, free expression is in full retreat.

That leaves America, where the First Amendment is the last obstacle to a global movement toward bureaucratization of speech. In last year’s campaign Donald Trump and J.D. Vance rightly ran against the speech excesses of the Democratic Party, with Vance saying views on censorship constituted the “biggest difference” between Trump and Kamala Harris, and Trump upon inauguration naming censored figures like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya to high office. The

In this video, Glenn Greenwald discusses a 2014 C-SPAN interview with Democratic Senator Chris Murphy, highlighting the U.S. government’s role in Ukraine’s political upheaval. Murphy admitted that Yanukovych, the democratically elected Ukrainian leader, lost legitimacy due to his use of force against protesters, justifying U.S. involvement.

Greenwald criticizes the U.S. media for ignoring critical questions about U.S. interference in Ukraine and compares it to the U.S. government’s reaction to foreign interference in its own elections. He argues that Murphy’s stance exemplifies the arrogant mentality of the U.S. ruling class, which dictates when other countries’ leaders have lost legitimacy.

I created a transcript of this important discussion:

Glenn Greenwald
Here is a video from a Democratic senator, Chris Murphy in 2014 on C span. Remember the US government, if you were to go to the State Department briefing or the White House briefing, as a real journalist, not someone who worked for corporate media, and say, how can the US claim Ukraine as democracy when the United States played a vital role in the removal of that country’s democratically elected leader in 2014 or how can you object to Russian interference in our democracy? When we interfered in Ukraine democracy, they will laugh at your face and get the media to laugh with them
