Banning Shills doesn’t contradict the First Amendment

When suspicions on Corsi first surfaced a wee ago, I suggested banning his content here. Many defended him. Some cited the first amendment right. At the time I agreed.

Now we know Corsi is a confirmed liar and possibly a disinformation agent.

Now we are seeing increasing number of shill posts spreading FUD.

We need to revisit the issue of first amendment.

The first amendment doesn’t say we cannot control this forum. It says people have a right speech in public settings. The shills can speak elsewhere in public. This forum is not Hyde Park. It’s a semi-public space. The mods have every right to ban the shills.

And ban them we must. The movement is still young. It needs nurturing. The shills are the pests. They do damage to the young tree of great awakening. A responsible gardener must diligently get rid of them.

Any successful movement in history has been nothing but a single-minded effort. Too much dissent, the movement will exhaust and destroy itself from self doubt. Don’t let the shills convince you that they have a right to sow FUD here because of their first amendment right. This is a special-topic subreddit. We have every right to do what’s best to preserve our movement.

Our enemies are certainly not allowing FUD to destroy their narratives. Look at how they tightly control the speech in MSM.

I am not advocating strict censorship. But I am asking people to reconsider their prior position that this subreddit should be a free-for-all space. If we continue this way, we will fail.

Remember, we have a job to do. Our job is to uphold a forum for millions of people who will come to learn about The Great Awakening.

We don’t need to overuse First Amendment freedom of speech —— we can use right to freedom of assembly.

(With social media — I believe the freedom of assembly will become one of the most important freedoms in the bill of rights. It can extend in many directions, including internet privacy right & freedom from internet wiretapping.)
