- Spiritualution, justice to God's people.
Slander and free speech.
What did our founding fathers really mean
when they wrote in the
Amendment of Free Speech?
♪ Wake up, America ♪
♪ The enemies already here, hiding ♪
- I do not think our
founding fathers meant
free speech to mean use slander,
misrepresentation, character defamation,
bigotry and prejudice in
general against other people.
Contrary to that, the
true ideal of free speech
is to prevent all communication
that is based on prejudice of any kind.
The founding fathers and their ancestors
had suffered in Europe
for false accusations and
misrepresentation by the hands,
of the then 1% and the
enemies of truth and goodness.
Wherever evil get a hand to
discredit truly godly persons,
it is done through the media of the day.
With modern technology and the internet,
the invention of invisible
but yet ever present
cowardly false accusers
behind the computers, behind the monitors,
who slander the people they disagree with
in the name of free speech
has become a common thing
thanks to the misrepresentation
of free speech
by Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter
and other social media.
The writers of the Constitution
included free speech
to bring to the table intelligent dialogue
and a forum to listen to
the opposing views of others
on various subjects,
not for character assassination.
Usually, the characters of individuals
were not even mentioned in the dialogues
and philosophical debates of the past,
and only the topics of
discussion were presented,
not so today.
Everyone's open target.
Today, all too often, the
characters of persons are lambasted
and the actual differences of opinion
and other ideas are not even presented
because the person that is tearing down
the character of the
one they disagree with
does not present the subject matter.
Even the various avenues of news media
have done the same thing
with shows like Dateline
and other tabloid type news
programs that are imbalanced
and focused on presenting
a slanted perspective,
often negative and attacking
of a person or a group,
without presenting all
sides of the situation
or the actual intellectual property
of the nuts and bolts of the argument.
Politics has become rampant
with this kind of misrepresentation.
Politics has always had a
dirty bent to it in that area
but modern political dialogue
has become down right iniquitous.
The office of the president
has been scarred in America
due to the allowance of the
assassination of character
and the continual
perpetuation of falsehoods.
As was seen in the last presidential race,
fake news became the
norm and was effective
in distorting facts and
misrepresenting candidates.
This has scarred the
reputations of men and women
who have the potential
to be great state persons
and public servants.
Many good men and women
have been prevented
from running for the
office of the president
because they were slandered
through distortion of facts
and twisting of truth.
There had been presidential
candidates who were discredited
by exaggerating their human flaws
and indicating they were much
worse than what they were.
Taking a little dirt on someone
and making a huge mud ball of it.
Making sin out of mere error.
It is much easier to
see the flaws in someone
on the opposing side
than to see one's own or
political party's similar sins.
What hypocrisy.
Jesus said, "To take the
log out of your own eye
"before trying to remove the
spec from someone else's eye."
When yellow journalism takes over,
which is more common than not,
a good man or woman is
crushed under the tide of,
everything is allowed in politics.
Or certain persons are
allowed to be unjustly accused
because they are public
persons or movie stars.
And celebrities are allowed no privacy
because of belonging to the public,
which gives credence for the inappropriate
and often abusive
interference of paparazzi.
It is now common understanding
that this kind of paparazzi behavior
is the cause of the accident
that killed Princess Diana.
How many truly wonderful people
will have to pay the price
of being wonderful in
the name of free press?
Journalism today has become riddled
with anything goes journalism,
which is really called yellow journalism
rather than true journalism.
Yellow journalism is meant to incite fear,
distrust, ridicule, hatred and so on
towards specific individuals
or groups of individuals
including entire political
parties, religions, and nations.
Everything is up for grabs today.
Everybody's open for any kind of attack.
The character of a person or group
is the content of the story,
rather than a message
about ideas and ideals.
The value of the message is lost
in the verbal attack of
the so-called journalist
against a person or group
who are trying to change
the world in a true word.
Vindictive, jealous and resentful people,
most who are not even journalists,
use the internet and Facebook
in a destructive way,
often against people they are jealous of,
be it a movie star or
the neighbor nextdoor.
And where Facebook and other
internet social media outlets
should protect individuals
from these kinds of slanderers
from all walks of life,
particularly individuals
who are social change agents
trying to make a real
difference in this world,
they allow misrepresentation
against the very individuals
who have the courage to
present ideals and ideas
that may challenge the status
quo of self serving values
and the rich and the elite
that control all the media.
The ones who are putting
their behinds on the line
for the sake of others
are practicing true free speech.
These are the ones that
should be protected.
These true change agents
talk about the issues,
not about the people.
Slanderers are allowed to
call people fat or skinny
or make fun of their big noses
or other parts of their bodies
as if any of that has
anything to do with anything,
that it has anything to do with the soul
of the person inside.
Today, too much credit is given
to those who are considered beautiful.
And if you don't look like a
beauty queen or prince charming
you're not worthy.
Some of the greatest minds in history
were not beautiful nor tall,
nor handsome, nor rich.
People were more accepted in times past
for their fine intellect
and, excuse me, wisdom.
Once the media labels you any of the names
that are used to discredit a person,
you cannot get on the radio or television.
You're done, finito.
If you are a musician,
you cannot get a record contract
or get your music played on the air.
This is how it has been for centuries,
the media destroys you
if you are really a true person of change.
But in contemporary
history, it is worse now.
Since the advent of
the use of the internet
as a tool of disinformation,
anyone can sit behind a monitor
and pretend to be a warrior.
The name of the game today
is just that, disinformation.
Wonderful activists through their music,
like Joan Baez and Bob Dylan,
in the past 15 years or so,
they cannot become stars today,
for they would be discredited
long before they were able
to get any kind of record contract.
Today, to get a record contract,
you have to compromise.
You have to be part of the status quo.
If you're a woman, you have to
show your body not your soul.
It truly does take someone
with a lot of money today
to run for president
in order to counteract
with positive press and
a team of media experts
the negativity coming against them.
Money, money, money, that's
the name of the game today.
Who has the most money will
probably win the election.
With public relations
experts and media sources
that they can buy at the drop of a hat.
Today, we live in a world
of upside down values
where good is called evil
and evil is called good,
where the universal laws
of the divine creator
and those who honor them
are looked upon as
outdated and even silly.
It's silly to be godly?
It's silly to be and have morality?
In this manner, men and women who stand up
for moral codes of ethics
are kept out of the mainstream media
by the degradation of their characters.
You ruin a person's character,
it's just like shooting them with a gun
or as Jesus said,
sticking a sword in them.
These people of integrity
are made out to be religious fanatics
and sometimes even
called by the worst word
that you can possibly call
someone today, cultist.
It's becoming more difficult
to find a place in America
for thought that is alternative
to materialism and self-seeking ease.
Free thinkers have become
few and far between.
Most individuals fall into
the pressure of anything goes
and only relativity is the norm
with no absolutes of any right and wrong
within a code of ethics.
God help us.
If the universe ran like
that it would fall apart.
There has to be absolutes.
Great men and women in
the history of the planet,
from the ancient wisdom
keepers of all continents
from the B.C. era,
from India and Syria and Egypt,
to Socrates and Plato and Aristotle,
up to the times of Jesus and onward,
to those wisdom keepers of the A.D. era
from all corners of the world understood,
had a common presence of mind,
that there has to be moral
absolutes and right and wrongs
that guide the changing
times of their day.
When men and women of true greatness
are discredited by the press of the day,
they can be unrighteously imprisoned
as was done with the late Nelson Madela
or even assassinated as with
John and Robert Kennedy,
Steven Biko of South Africa,
Ken Saro-Wiwa of Nigeria,
and Benazir Bhutto of Pakistan.
Perhaps if the Constitution
of the United States
would have been interpreted correctly
in the so-called era of
free speech, haughty-ha,
these men like John Kennedy,
Martin Luther King Jr.,
and Robert Kennedy would
not have been assassinated
and would have been protected
rather than misrepresented
by much of the press under
the disguise of free speech.
In each one of their social movements,
the handwriting was on the wall
due to the character assassination
of these great souls.
The character assassination comes first
and then if that doesn't work,
then they actually assassinate you.
Many wonderful advocates for peace,
like Father Philip Berrigan and
his brother Daniel Berrigan,
would hae been more protected
and should hae been.
They should not have been imprisoned
and their names scarred,
if we would have had stronger laws
against misrepresentation of character
under the banner of so-called free speech.
- I think in the back, deep,
deep recesses of our minds,
we kind of knew something
bad could happen.
It literally is a point now
where I think we have created tools
that are ripping apart the social fabric
of how society works.
That is truly where we are.
And I would encourage all of you,
as the future leaders of the world,
to really internalize
how important this is.
If you feed the beast, that
beast will destroy you.
If you push back on it,
we have a chance to
control it and reign it in.
And it is a point in time
where people need to hard break
from some of these tools and
the things that you rely on.
The short-term, dopamine
driven feedback loops
that we have created
are destroying how society works.
No civil discourse, no cooperation,
misinformation, mistruth.
And it's not an American problem.
This is not about Russian ads.
This a global problem.
- Recently, those of us within
our parent organization,
Global Community Communications Alliance
decided together to come off
of Facebook as individuals
because Facebook continues to allow
misrepresentation of myself
under the guise of free speech
to be called a cult leader and much worse.
I've been called every name in the book.
Facebook has allowed a false public
Gabriel of Urantiacult page
by someone else that's not even me.
It's not my page.
And an imposter account
called Tony Delevin
to remain online
even though we asked them to take it down.
These sites have nothing to do with me
or my teachings and beliefs,
though their purpose is
to appear to represent me,
to pretend it's me.
To make a statement against
this violation of free speech,
we chose to get off of
social media and Facebook
as a community of individuals
who made that choice.
In the name of free speech,
in 1997 Dateline was legally allowed
with the power of their sky
high building of attorneys
to misrepresent those
of us in our community
as blind followers in a cult
with me as, of course, the cult leader.
They did a brilliant
job of cut and editing
every truthful thing I said
and every truthful said
that Niánn Emerson Chase said.
Since then, for the last 20 years,
we have been misunderstood
even by our families
and friends and parents
of community members here
who believe just about
everything the media spews out.
Most people do not understand
how modern technology
cuts and edits to
present the media's slant
in order to sell news papers, magazines,
and get television ratings.
Once again, this is all done
in the name of free speech,
with laws that protect
the media, not the people.
In other countries the
people are protected
such as in England,
but in the United States it's
the media that's protected.
In the name of free speech,
there are some individuals
of the wide road
of anything goes mentality,
rather than those that walk
on the road less traveled
within divine pattern,
who attempt to discredit
Global Community Communications Alliance
simply because our values
are different than theirs.
Only by the grace of God
have we been able to
survive as a community
and a team of Global Change A gents.
But it has been a nightmare
of suffering for all of us
in many different ways,
including losing our children
through a parent who left the community
and was willing to use
the misrepresentation of
Dateline and other media
against us.
They like to use the cult
word and the courts love it.
The courts are part of the system.
Justice, there's no justice today.
Excuse me, we have even lost
some of our sons and daughters
to the world of anything goes morality
because we choose to abide
by the commandments of God
and adhere to higher moral ethics
including celibacy until a
loving, committed relationship.
And this same scenario
happens with children
who leave their spiritual parents
of all religions and walks of life
who are then supported by the
existing status quo society
against their families,
particularly the families
that are more spiritually oriented.
A new world is coming
for those who believe in the
return of The Promised One.
In Christianity, this promised
one is called Jesus Christ.
In other religions,
the promised one is called by many names,
but all believe that this
world is soon to pass away
and a new one of world
wide peace and wellbeing
will replace it.
