Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
I remember when censorship in America was a limited phemonenon. It applied during war time—“loose lips sink ships.” It applied to pornography. It applied to curse words on the public airwaves and in movies. It applied to violence in movies. There could be violence, but not the level that has become common.
Today censorship is ubiquitous. It is everywhere. In the United States censorship is both imposed from above and flows from the bottom up. Censorship is imposed from above by, for example, TV and print media, Google, Facebook, Twitter, and by laws in 28 states prohibiting criticism and participation in boycotts of Israel and by President Trump’s executive order preventing federal funding of educational institutions that permit criticisms of Israel. Censorship flows from the bottom up by, for example, people of protected races, genders, and sexual preference claiming to be offended.
The ubiquitous censorship that today is characteristic of the United States has shut down comedians. It has shut down criticism of non-whites, homosexuals, transgendered, feminists, and Israel. Official explanations are shielded by labeling skeptics “conspiracy theorists.” The ubiquitous censorship in the United States is an extraordinary development as the US Constitution guarantees freedom of expression and a free press.
We owe journalist Abby Martin appreciation for reminding us of our right to free speech. Aby is suing the state of Georgia, one of 28 states that have violated the Constitutional protection of free speech.
Abby was scheduleded to give the keynote speech at a conference at Georgia Southern Univeristy. She discovered that in order to speak publicly at a Georgia college she had to sign a pledge of allegience not to criticize Israel. Her refusal to sign resulted in the conference being cancelled.
Here we have the state of Georgia blocking free speech because it will not support the Israeli position on Palestine. See: https://www.lewrockwell.com/2020/02/no_author/journalist-abby-martin-sues-state-of-georgia-over-law-requiring-pledge-of-allegiance-to-israel/ . Also: https://www.timesofisrael.com/filmmaker-who-wouldnt-sign-georgias-oath-not-to-boycott-israel-sues-us-state/
Think about this for a moment. More than half of the 50 states that comprise the United States have passed laws that are clear violations of the US Constitution. Moreover, these 28 states have imposed censorship in behalf of a foreign country. Americans have gags stuck in their mouths because 28 state governments put the interest of Israel higher than the First Amendment of the US Constitution. When government itself is opposed to free speech, what becomes of democracy and accountable government?
Why would 28 states legislate against the US Constitution? One explanation is that the state governments were bought by the Israel Lobby with money under the table, by promises of political campaign donations, or by threats of financing rival candidates. How else do we explain 28 state governments imposing censorship in behalf of a foreign country?
Abby Martin is one person who will not stand for it. She has brought a lawsuit that—if the US Supreme Court is still a protector of the First Amendment—will result in the 28 state laws and Trump’s executive order being overturned. The protection of Israel against boycotts parallels state laws passed in the 1950s that prevented Martin Luther King’s movement from boycotting businesses that practiced racial segregation. These laws were overturned by the Supreme Court.
The outcome of Abby Martin’s suit will tell us whether the US Constitution is still a living document.

Abby Martin and the wormy, weasly left doing the job that cowardly cucked GOPpers don;t have the balls to do. Strange times indeed.
Flash.
The Reps. are doing their patriotic duty their Jewish Homeland.
We can thank the Jewish created and funded Dispensationalism of Darby and Schofield for this garbage.
Yep, and for all effort in groveling and virtue signalling for Israel, they’ll get Georgia going Blue by 2024. Mark it. Georgia Republicans are nothing but carpeting bagging vermin in the process of selling Georgia to the highest bidder because ” gotta’ grow.”
And that’s all the criminal class, commonly referred to as politicians really care about. The almighty shekel is what the serve. Nothing more.
You mean G.R.E.E.D?
Mammon
They were Acts 2 dispensationalists and held Israel in unreasonably high regard as do most “sects” of Christianity. I teach mid-Acts dispensationalism, a completely different animal. Yet, I learned a great deal from those men.
Please don’t lump together all dispensational believers into an Israel supporting camp. The scriptures make clear that God is not dealing with national Israel today and when He next time does, it will be harshly.
Eventually, Gods promises to them will be kept and they (resurrected) will become the light of the world. Post tribulation, during the 1,000 year millennium Kingdom.
Sorry Gracie, every aspect of dispensationalism has been refuted by reputable scholars from Protestant, Catholic, and Byzantine alike. The doctrine didn’t even exist in mainstream Christendom prior to 1800.
“The doctrine didn’t even exist in mainstream Christendom prior to 1800.”
Silly comment. It existed when Paul wrote about it. I’ll give you this; it’s was not mainstream then and it’s not mainstream now. Truth never is.
Ephesians 3:2 KJB… “If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:”
Colossians 1:25 KJB… “Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;”
Dispensing and dispensationalism is not the same. Your stated form of it Mid and Acts 2 is just hyperdispensationalism with a new name.
You’re wrong and I can show you why. Something tells me you’d rather not know. That’s too bad… willful ignorance.
If you were right I’d be singing the praises of modern day Israel. Yet I’m not. Go figure…
What you can do is present reams and reams of convoluted scripture verses and charts much like the MSM does to change the subject or confuse the issue as you have just attempted. Accuse me of willfull ignorance and injecting something about not singing the praises of modern day Israel. When the subject was, the Heresy of dispensationalism has been the main source of this country’s downfall and that it was fabricated by and bankrolled by American Zionist Jews and that mid and act 2 dispensationalism are just forms of hyperdispensationalism. The heresy of pre-tribulation rapture is frequently injected in it because it was created by the same people.
I am not going to bombard you with volumes of refutations because they are available to anyone online and you can come up with volumes also.
I made a profound statement on purpose and as always, I leave it to the reader to do with as they choose.
“When the subject was, the Heresy of dispensationalism has been the main source of this country’s downfall and that it was fabricated by and bankrolled by American Zionist Jews and that mid and act 2 dispensationalism are just forms of hyperdispensationalism.”
The subject, which I’m trying to address, is based on Biblical illiteracy. The “reams and reams” of not convoluted (except perhaps through the eyes of non believers) are actually remarkably contextual if a man ever had the desire to look more deeply into it. I’ve been demonstrating such on this site for years now it seems with a few lights switched on. I do understand these things take time, which I expend whenever possible and desire on the part of my target.
“Accuse me of willfull ignorance and injecting something about not singing the praises of modern day Israel.”
I did accuse you of willful ignorance and stand by the accusation. On the other hand, if read more for comprehension, you might have gathered that I was claiming that I do not sing the praises of modern day Israel (not you), when, by your definition of all dispensationalists, I should be bowing down to them like the vast majority of Christian sects. Again, I don’t. I see, by way of the Bible rightly divided, the reason why Israel is fallen in this dispensation of grace for all; and, why, post rapture, God will once again deal with the nation. Romans 9-11. How do you reckon such discrepancy in your thinking?
Do you follow? If you’re right, I as a “hyperdispensationalist should love national Israel yet I know that they are the synagogue of Satan from John 8 to the present day.
We’re more on the same side then you likely care to admit. You just don’t like the highly contextual scriptural path I took to get there. It goes against your inherent and somewhat unreasonable bias against a few partially correct and partially incorrect Bible expositors.
What we all need to learn is to chew up the meat and spit out the bones.
Long day. It’s late. Catch you later.
Nice try, say goodnight Gracie.
Dispensing is not the same as dispensationalism.

Dispensationalism- the heresy that caused the current cultural defeat of the Western church. you-tube 7/8/15 Peace apostolic ministries
“EVERY aspect of dispensationalism has been refuted”
Sorry to diasppoint you, but even the two dispensations listed below refutes your view.
John 1:17
For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
For more see:
http://clarencelarkincharts.com/Clarence_Larkin_2.html
See above.
This guys charts were created in the mid 1800’s and are more convoluted than Gracies charts.
You and Gracie are free to believe as you wish which is why there are more protestant denominations than Carter has little liver pills.
That does not refute my claim that dispensationalism was created and spread by Darby and Schofield with the backing of wealthy Jews and is the source of most of what this article is about.
Scofield didn’t translate the Bible into English or just come up with the word “dispensation”.
Any Christian has to acknowledge at least the two obvious examples of God’s arrangements of Mosaic Law and the Grace and Truth of Jesus Christ.
Obviously there were different economies of God dealing with man, from Eden to Noah to Abraham. The Law was given through Moses because the Jews coming out of Egypt demanded it. Man always failed. And it took the ultimate sacrifice.
Most denominations still has a work based salvation.
The Larkin charts are just interesting. They are not scripture.
Once again. Dispensationalism is not the same as dispensing. Dispensationalism is a movement.
Schofield performed a defacto translation of the bible by way of putting the verse on one side and then “HIS” interpretation on the opposite side to imply or insinuate divine inspiration. It was then promoted as such by his wealthy and connected backers and then introduced to bible colleges.
You are beating your head against a wall and your blood pressure will go up. Give it up. Either they will decide to open up their minds to the possibility they have been pulled into a Great Deception or they will continue to embrace it. No one wants to admit they have been fooled. I was, for too many years.
Come out of her, my people.
Mary.
You’re right. Thanks sis.
Mary.
Last reply vanished.
You’re right Sis. Thanks.
No problem. But you double posted. The computer is messing with you.
Read Romans. Amazing how fooled the world is by religion.
I might be wrong in assuming that you are confusing the study of dispensations of the Bible with some kind of Israel worship. To refuse to recognize that God has dealt with man and mankind’s failures differently during the short history of mankind makes study of the Holy Scripture as given by the Holy Spirit difficult. God the Father is a loving God. Israel has always been treated differently since Abraham’s or rather jacob’s day, and will even be during the end times. But what remains is this truth;
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Hebrews 13:8
(Amazing isn’t it that this gem is in a book for the JEWS.)
By the way, have never considered anybody’s Bible that someone is so prideful as to put their name on such as Scofield.
Ginger.
I’m doing neither. Anon below preempted my own link with a better description of what I am saying regarding our downfall along with the one I linked at 5:11 pm.
My buddy warned me to stop so I’m done here.
Larken was an amazing researcher. Another Acts 2 guy however.
Lies of dispensationalism

It’s like asking if fire will take down Notre Dame.
They have prevailed over the first amendment and they actively censor us across all platforms and in all media.
Pretty sure he knows this.
The Grand Old Party should be renamed Fags For Israel Party. FFIP . Makes more sense. There is nothing grand about being anyone’s slobbering bitch.
Just finishing up “Break His Bones” by Bradley Smith. It a sobering and melancholy tale which documents his [pointless] struggle to bring Revisionism to open debate and discussion on college campuses, and how the discussion was and still is systematically shut down. Pretty soon, sites for groups like CODOH and IHR will be swept off the internet altogether. At least we’ll be able to tell our grand-kids that we remember the days when people of like mind could communicate and share ideas repugnant to our masters.
Monika Schaefer, Ursula Haverbeck, Sylvia Stolz, Ernst Zundel and many others have been imprisoned for their beliefs.
You see, “holocaustianity ™ ” has been turned into a “religion” in which no dissension or honest, impartial investigation is permitted.
The above individuals have been imprisoned in maximum-security prisons for merely declaring their “freedom of thought”.
Monika Schaefer and Ursula Haverbeck, both elderly grandmothers have been imprisoned in maximum-security German prisons for merely questioning “that which shall not be questioned”, the so-called jewish “holocaust ™ “.
In the case of Sylvia Stolz, she was imprisoned for attempting to introduce evidence into the courts system as part of a proper defense for her client. You see, in the “kangaroo courts” that prosecute “holocaust ™ ” “crimes”, TRUTH cannot be used as a defense if it runs counter to commonly accepted beliefs-even if the commonly accepted beliefs can be proven to be false.
Ernst Zundel was imprisoned in Canada as well as in Germany for his beliefs. Not only that, his Canadian home was firebombed by jewish criminals; no perpetrators were ever found or prosecuted as jewish interests in the Canadian government were not interested in solving this crime.
We have gone down the “slippery slope” in the uSA with Trump’s declaration that jews are to be considered to be a “race” and must be covered under “civil-rights (for some)” “protections, as well as the anti-BDS movement to criminalize free thought and expression.
Criminalizing free thought and expression, once considered abhorrent in the uSA is coming to fruition right here in the uSA.
When laws have to be passed to criminalize certain “trains of thought”, THAT is PROOF that the holocaust is one bald-faced CON job perpetrated on the world by “you know who”…
It is long overdue to start the deportations from country 110…
Anarchyst.
And Eustice Mullens. He was hounded and arrested and survived assassination attempts.
How is this not sedition by financial power?
G.R.E.E.D
LLPOH, how do you not see this?
I know you disagree with this. You have stated such. But you don’t think the Jews are a problem. If Jews can get these things done, how are they not a problem?
Gosh, this sounds like something I commented last week. Is somebody spying on me?
But, PCR, the Constitution is a LEGAL document, NOT a living document. “Living” documents are malleable and conformative; that is, they can be/are manipulated to adhere to will of whoever is in charge of the governing bodies. As written, the legal intent of the Constitution is for those governing bodies to adhere to IT, to both recognize and abide by the limits, boundaries, and protections enunciated therein.
“All laws repugnant to the Constitution and null and void”. Marbury v. Madison, 1803. Look it up.
“The outcome of Abby Martin’s suit will tell us whether or not the US Constitution is dead.”
You insouciance on the matter is frustrating.
Niebo.
Right. The constitution is defining their code of conduct.
Frustrating as well is his constant referral to the US as a democracy.
Democracy and $$ are killing America.
How mentally ill trannies became a protected class under the civil rights act, and who made it happen:
https://national-justice.com/american-oligarchs-i-pritzkers
I’m telling you, it’s filthy wealth killing America.
Wealth I’ll agree with. It leads to complacency and liberalism. Liberalism is a lot like gout, it cost a lot of money. Good soil breeds poor soldiers(Genghis Khan). Liberalism is a welfare bum.
Awesome subject….nice work everyone.
