During the Sustainable Development Impact Meeting held by the World Economic Forum (WEF), John Kerry brazenly admitted that first amendment is a threat to government power.
During the discussion, Kerry stated that free speech, particularly on social media, threatens ‘democracies’ by inhibiting the government’s ability to manufacture a consensus through the control of information.
”…I think the dislike like of and anguish over social media is just growing and growing and growing, and that’s part of our problem particularly in democracies — in terms of building consensus around any issue, its really hard to govern today.”

Some should be careful when talking about things that need to be hammered out of existence.

John Kerry NEVER talks to the American people --- because he knows they can't stand him!

1984 and Brave New World were novels, not How-To manuals.

Ummm, that's the point, so idiots like you can't decide what is information and not, we are not stupid (except for the people that actually voted for you) we can decide for ourselves.

If Kerry's stunning speech does not convince you that the man is M-E-N-T-A-L-L-Y I-L-L, nothing will! Kerry is so M-E-N-T-A-L-L-Y I-L-L that, like his fellow sufferers, he actually voices his M-E-N-T-A-L I-L-L-N-E-S-S right out loud.

Until Kamala, Kerry was the dumbest ever major party presidential nominee. He is a bloviating gasbag elitist hypocrite.

Cancel Kerry's passport and strip him of his US citizenship. He is not for the USA. You don't get to act on behalf of the US and advocate for the destruction of our Constitution and universal rights. What a wretched human being!!

On January 18, 2023, John Kerry spoke of himself and those gathered with him at the World Economic Forum with these words:
"When you start to think about it, it's pretty extraordinary that we — a select group of human beings because of whatever touched us at some point in our lives — are able to sit in a room and come together and actually talk about saving the planet."
Much as he may enjoy being part of "a select group of human beings..." his admission that the American people and their free speech rights inhibit the government's ability to "build consensus" around any issue should draw immediate scrutiny and concern.
One doesn't have to be a fan of the ACLU to remember the words of the late Oregonian, Stevie Remmington. She said "The cure for speech you don't like, is more speech." Democrats don't seem to believe that these days, do they?

The VC who shot up Lurch's swift boat brought all of us bad luck. They hit him in his brain but it didn't stop him.

This man has brought no value to the world. Hopefully his time on it is nearing the end. Also with Nancy P.

It’s petty, I know, but how is it that John Kerry is the only man in the history of the world whose hair actually grows in more thickly as he ages? And miraculously it’s been the same length and color for over 30 years. He wouldn’t be vain and dishonest enough to fake something misleading about himself would he? I know it’s not in the same league as someone who would deliberately lie on a grand scale and then profit from laws necessitating the overhaul of every appliance and mode of transport for millions of people or stealing military valor but….. Oh, wait.

Hey Lurch, the 1A guarantees citizens the right to protest. Period. No joke. But you are a cockwomble.

I always these words of advice applied to J Fn' Kerry better than any human who ever lived.
"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt."
