Our Indian correspondent The Kafir sends his thoughts on the role played by freedom of speech (or its lack) in our contemporary scene.
Freedom of Speech
by The Kafir
“O kafirs, be you all apes and monkeys; again.”
Anthropologists say that some 80,000 years ago, Homo Sapiens acquired consciousness. As conscious beings, they soon figured out that many weaklings acting together can fell even the mightiest of the prey.
And a bit player in the food chain, Homo Sapiens, jumped straight to the top of it, and is ruling the planet ever since. They controlled fire and used it to make food more easily digestible; they invented the wheel and made long journeys easier; they domesticated far stronger animals and used them to carry the goods, plough the fields and give other products like milk. They figured out that living together is easier in permanent settlements and thus created villages and cities.
They realized that not all human beings agree on everything; there are disputes, and some bands still insist on hunting, hunting even the settled human beings. They figured out that acting together, which had allowed them to control all other species, is also needed to face such bands of human beings who still want to hunt and loot others’ possessions, including women and children for slavery. They created permanent armed groups among themselves, an army, to take on such bands, because it was more convenient and effective than all of them mobilizing in the face of such dangers from the hunting bands of human beings.
And not only the Earth, they are now planning to colonize the Moon and the Mars also. All because they stumbled upon consciousness all those years ago, because they could talk to each other, they could discuss, they could debate, they could convey their thoughts, they could communicate.
But now, after 80,000 years they seem to have forgotten that “acting together” was what made them such a powerful, all-conquering species. And that acting together was made possible by their faculty of speech. A handful of them, called the Ruling Elite, have taken control of their armies, and other instruments of collective armed power, and are now openly, flagrantly, surrendering their countries, their villages and cities, their women, children and wealth; to a new-fangled band of hunters that has come veiled as a religion: Islam. It is openly killing children, raping women, and beheading adults, all over the kafir world, and kafirs are just sleepwalking. Paralyzed. The Ruling Elite has taken great care to make it impossible for any warners to reach their fellow human beings and wake them up before certain death by murder and massacres. Thus making self-defense impossible.
Every human being has an absolute right to be left alone, to live his life as he pleases so long he is ready to likewise leave others alone. Left alone with his possessions and his family. He has absolute right to defend his life, his possessions and his family. The right and duty to defend himself is his. The State is only an auxiliary which he himself had created as a convenience. The State can’t suspend this right to life or take away the right to defend it. No emergency, no state of affairs, has been made a justification to suspend the right to life in any jurisdiction of the world. And the right to self-defense is considered equally sacrosanct in all jurisdictions.
But to defend his life, a man is insufficient in the face of the organized bands of hunters, even when they call themselves a religion. To defend himself against an organized group, a man needs to talk to his fellow human beings, explain to them the entire danger, convince them to likewise act together as a group, to become a Team. That is, man needs to have freedom of speech. Absolute freedom of speech. Without freedom of speech, life is not only meaningless, it is not even safe, it is not even possible. The right to freedom of speech is thus right to life only, stated differently. Therefore, when a government restricts or suspends freedom of speech, it suspends the right to life, it actually endangers lives of its citizens. It sets them up for slaughter. And rape. And looting. And total subjugation.

Two workers were killed and another seriously injured when a tire on a plane exploded early today at a Delta Air Lines maintenance facility near the Atlanta airport. The plane was a Boeing passenger plane, although that may have no relevance to the tragic incident.
