John Peter Zenger Quote

"The loss of liberty in general would soon follow
the suppression of the liberty of the press;
for it is an essential branch of liberty,
so perhaps it is the best preservative of the whole."

On its face, an observed accuracy. In the current scenario, the ecclesiastical propagation (MSM) leads to the loss of liberty. The occupying statist theocracy infesting this land got to where it is in part by theocratic controls of the narrative.   -- Mike, Norwalk
The monopoly of the media IS the oppression of a free press. The reach of the press in the 1700's was miniscule compared to radio and TV.  The power of the press is enormous — it shapes the very minds and hearts of the people, that's why the biggest and most far-reaching media outlets have been bought up by the monopolists to preserve and increase their power. Another reason that the search for truth is necessary, because lies are enshrined everywhere as gospel and broadcasted daily.  -- E Archer, NYC
