Equal Justice Under The Law?

Two extremely troubling events have happened this week….for me terrifying.

This morning a journalist, Steve Baker, was arrested, handcuffed, feet shackled and put in an orange jumpsuit for misdameanor charges. When have people charged with misdemeanors been handcuffed, let alone had their feet shackled. These days people charged with violent crimes aren’t treated like this.

What did he do? He was one of 60 journalists that went inside the Capitol on January 6th. He went through the door opened by the police and he did his job as a journalist. Some of the other journalists actually climbed through broken windows. Have any of the other journalists been arrested? NO! Why was Baker arrested? Because he was hired by The Blaze to go through the J6 videos and tell the truth about what happened on January 6th. This is “Selective Persecution”. This is, yet ANOTHER, example of our two tiered justice system. The FBI has been threatening Baker for the last two years with arrest. I suspect they did that to discourage him from continuing his investigation. It didn’t. It is clear the process is the main part of the punishment. This is being done to scare any other journalists from daring to seek the truth.

Speaker Johnson and several Congressmen and their staff stayed up all last night to find Baker on the videos to prove him innocent of the charges. Some of the charges are trespassing, parading, chanting. The videos show he did none of that. The legacy media isn’t going to report on this CLEAR violation of the First Amendment or “equal justice under the law”. The Left used to be the most outspoken in defense of free speech, as was the ACLU but no more. This morning Alan Dershowitz volunteered to help defend Mr. Baker.

Catherine Heritage is also being persecuted by the government over her investigations. She is being threatened with prison if she doesn’t give up her sources.

The other terrifying event hasn’t happened here YET, but if Democrats win in November I guarantee it eventually will. It’s from Canada. CANADA, what used to be a harmless, rather uncontraversal country. Now it’s becoming a communist country. Trudeau just introduced a bill to their legislature (it hasn’t passed yet, but is expected to) to criminalize “hate speech”. It is bill C-63 called the “Online Harms Act”. As usual Leftist bills are described as something they are not. The bill is described as a bill to protect children online….and it does have laws that supposedly protect children but it ALSO demands Social Media platforms abide by their law or be banned from Canada, AND that is the cover for what they really want to accomplish….the criminalization of “hate speech”. So, they can say if you are against the bill that you don’t want to protect children.

The least that can happen to someone accused of “hate speech” is that you will be fined $70,000, $20,000 to your accuser and $50,000 to the government. The worst is that you will get LIFE IN PRISON! Canada doesn’t have LIFE sentences even for murder. This bill says someone can say they “fear” you will say something hateful. You don’t even have to have said anything and get an injunction against you. People can go through your social media and bring something you said 15 years ago and accuse you of “hate speech”. Remember the Left says if you were against gay marriage you hate gay people. Of course that isn’t true but they have been saying it for years. You are a hater if you want a secure border, you are a hater if you don’t want men competing in women’s sports, you are a hater if you use the wrong pronouns, etc. Calling someone a hater is an opinion not a fact.

This bill would probably get Jordan Peterson life in prison. They have already sentenced him to “reeducation”. Jordan is a man whose opinions are common sense. His opinions are ones we (Western Civilization) ALL used to believe. I admire Mr. Peterson’s defiance of his persecution.
