This is where the control and punishment of "misinformation" leads
Athenaeum Book Club@athenaeumbc

In 1945, Solzhenitsyn was a decorated Soviet officer who made a small, private joke about Stalin in a letter. The state opened it, read it, and treated it as a crime. Within weeks he was arrested and stripped of rank. He was fed into the camps, and sentenced to eight years in the Gulag. The camps were designed to teach one lesson: say nothing, remember nothing, become nothing. He shoveled frozen concrete until his hands split and bled. Years later, Solzhenitsyn would write, “Bless you, prison, for having been in my life.” It sounds insane until you understand what he meant. Prison showed him the truth of the regime in its purest form. After his release, the punishment did not end. He lived under constant surveillance, moving from place to place, knowing that writing a single page could mean death. So he did not write. He memorized. Whole chapters of The Gulag Archipelago lived only in his head. Friends hid scraps of text. Wives memorized passages. For years the book existed only in human memory, as fragile and dangerous as a secret prayer. When it was finally published, it did not argue that Soviet communism had gone too far. It showed that this was exactly where it led. Solzhenitsyn had learned that systems built on lies survive only if people agree to repeat them, and that the simplest refusal… to stop saying what you know is false… is the first and most dangerous act of resistance.

Dear American friends who think your government is the same as the Islamic Republic in Iran, While your government was moving heaven and earth, and spending hundreds of millions of dollars to save one American and bring him back home, the regime in Iran just executed two protesters arrested for the crime of protesting on January 8 and 9, with no proper trial and no access to lawyers. Their names are Mohammad Amin Biglary, just 19 years old and Shahin Vahed Parast, 30 years old. If you still think these two are the same, open your eyes. This is the difference between a country that values life and a regime that murders its youth for speaking out.

Americans: we rescued two airmen deep inside Iran and we only lost a couple of C130s Russians: you guys rescue your own? Europeans: you have more than two planes? Australians: what does this mean for property prices?

I don’t know how to put it into words, but as I was in church this morning looking at my kids, my wife, my parents… all together I realized that this entire time, as I was running as fast as I could away from God, he has been relentlessly chasing me. The whole time.

I’m noticing a lot of foreigners who seem to not understand why we’d risk hundreds of lives, spend millions of dollars, and sacrifice several aircraft to rescue one guy. And the reason they don’t understand is also the reason people can’t be made American by a piece of paper.

Lose all this to rescue 1 pilot and call it your greatest military success of all time.

How Christianity ended slavery: "Many people fail to realize that virtually every society has had slaves — from the Chinese to the Arabs to the Native Americans. In fact, there is only one worldview that gave rise to moral opposition to slavery — namely, Christianity. The first person to offer a moral and logical argument against slavery as an institution was a church father writing in the 4th century: Gregory of Nyssa argued explicitly on the ground that all persons are in the likeness of God — and therefore, he said, no one has a right to buy or sell another person. In the Middle Ages, Christians made various efforts to limit or outlaw slavery. As early as the 7th century, Saint Bathilde (wife of King Clovis II) became famous for her campaign to stop the slave trade.  St. Anskar tried to halt the Viking slave trade. Finally, in the 13th century, the great theologian Thomas Aquinas pronounced that slavery is a sin. But by then, it was not even a matter of controversy. It was the settled consensus among Christians that human bondage was wrong. This history makes it even more surprising that slavery later made a comeback in the United States. American slaveholders were going against centuries of settled conviction that slavery was wrong. And even then, who rose up to oppose the slaveholders? Who led the movement to abolish slavery? Mostly Christians.  Many abolitionists were inspired by the Second Great Awakening, a series of religious revivals in the 19th century, which emphasized that all humans are created equal in the eyes of God. For example, the famous revivalist Charles Finney, a Presbyterian minister, condemned slavery from the pulpit, calling it a “great national sin.” He refused to give communion to slaveholders. Finney was the president of Oberlin College, an important stop on the Underground Railroad, a network of secret safe houses for escaped slaves who were fleeing north. Finally, there was the Civil War. America is the only country on Earth to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of its own citizens in a war to end slavery. Sociologist Rodney Stark, in For the Glory of God, points out that it was not Enlightenment philosophers who crafted a moral indictment of slavery. It was mostly evangelical Christians, and they were motivated by their firm conviction that all people are made in the image of God." --"Slavery and the Image of God," Science & Culture Today.

As an Iranian watching this rescue mission unfold, I was praying the American pilot would make it out alive, not just for him, but so the Islamic Republic could not use him as a bargaining chip or claim some twisted “victory.” At the same time, I felt a deep envy. Your government sent elite special forces, million-dollar aircraft, and moved heaven and earth to bring one American home. No hesitation. No excuses. In Iran, the regime uses human shields and recruited child soldiers to clear minefields during the Iran-Iraq war. They treat their own people like disposable tools. They are now recruiting child soldiers as we speak. The Islamic Republic has zero regard for human life. That’s the brutal difference. One side risks everything to save their own. The other sacrifices their own to stay in power. This hits hard when you have lived under both realities.

Prince William preaches that Islam is the ‘Religion of Peace’ that other Faiths must learn from. He’s the same gutless Royal as his father…ditching Christianity while Britain burns under grooming gangs and stabbings. Defender of the Faith? More like Defender of the Invaders.

Jesús Enrique Rosas - The Body Language Guy
So while a wounded American Colonel was hiding in a mountain crevice at 7,000 feet in Iran with nothing but a pistol and a prayer, and the CIA was running a fake rescue convoy to confuse the IRGC, and MQ-9 Reapers were methodically deleting anyone who got within two miles of him, and special operators were prepping to fly INTO Iran, fight their way to a ridge, extract one man, have two planes get stuck in the sand, blow them up, fly in three MORE planes, fight their way OUT... The American left saw that the White House had gone quiet and decided: clearly, Trump is dying at Walter Reed. They posted old video from the Butler assassination attempt as breaking news. They cited "credible reports." A guy literally drove to Walter Reed and reported back: no motorcade, no activity, roads open, nothing happening. Didn't matter. The narrative was already at a million views. Trump was in the Oval Office the entire time, monitoring a rescue op so complicated it already has a Wikipedia page. And then Easter morning. The Colonel is safe. Every American is home. And Trump posts: "Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards. Praise be to Allah." On Easter. Signed "President DONALD J. TRUMP." Say what you want about the man. There is no one on earth doing whatever this is. A Christian president threatening to flatten Iran's power grid and then signing off with an Islamic prayer on the holiest day of his own religion, twelve hours after his military blew up their own planes inside enemy territory rather than leave them behind. The left thought he was in a hospital bed. He was ordering commandos into Iran. This is going to be the weirdest movie ever made
