The Totalitarians Really Don’t Care What You Think

It’s a short video.
Well, that was wild. I’m at the Australian Parliament and just left a meeting with two governing-party staffers. They told us that the government needed more power to censor things like the upcoming US execution of Nidal Hasan.
When I asked why they needed to censor that video, one said it was to prevent copycat killings. Copycat killings by governments? I asked. Er, no, they said. Copycat killings like that of a backpacker, several decades ago.
So, under that logic, I pointed out, the government should censor things like last year’s Bondi massacre, where two Muslims killed 15 people, no? Well, they said that was news. Didn’t they realize their bill would allow the government to censor news? They didn’t seem to know, or care.
They also admitted they didn’t know the bill would allow the government to create and operate an unlimited number of fake social media accounts to attack its political enemies and spread disinformation.
Having presented them with information they had never heard about a bill they had clearly not read, they emphasized to us, strenuously, that they were moving forward with the bill.
So there you have it. The government wants the power to arbitrarily censor scenes of violent crime, or violence, for any reason. And it wants the power to use an unlimited number of fake accounts to wage offensive disinformational warfare against the Australian people.
Given that the Bondi massacre last year increased public opposition to mass migration, and support for the populist One Nation Party, it seems obvious that the government wants to censor such events in order to protect its political power.
It’s telling how obediently governing party members insist such a law is needed without even knowing what it contains.
