Bend Over And Kiss Your Free Speech Goodbye
Free speech — the touchstone that the Supreme Court used to justify its Citizens United decision — clearly applies only to corporations these days. Citizens are expected to shut up and obey duly constituted authorities. Many states where oil pipelines and fracking are common have passed new legislation recently — at the urging of Koch Brothers supported pressure groups — that makes interfering with such operations a felony punishable by up to 40 years in prison.
Land of the free? Think again, fellow citizens. The fiction of “national security” now takes priority over civil liberties as America paddles furiously backwards toward a plantation society where corporations sit atop the social hierarchy and deign to let a few souls rise while the rest are condemned to permanent servitude within a corporatist agenda.
