On Tuesday night the Anchorage Assembly introduced and passed a resolution the members believe will promote “civil discourse.” Let’s look at a few of some of the loaded terms that are peppered throughout the document. You may read it in its entirety here. [AR 2023-137 – ed.]
Hate speech most often refers to any speech that disparages a social group or member of that group. Hate is attached to a person’s inner motive. One could wonder why we don’t use the term “disparaging speech.” Even though the term “disparaging” is subjective, it does a better job of pointing to the actual speech of the person rather than inserting itself into the person’s inner workings.
The term “hate” elevates the severity of the offender and effectively labels a person a “hater.” When the state of someone’s inner motives is being judged not by the speaker, but by the hearers, whoever has the most power gets to decide that person’s label. When we begin judging hate, we elevate ourselves as a judge and jury to shame the “offender.”
Assembly Member Meg Zaletel wanted to make it clear that this is not a law with teeth. It is merely a “resolution.” So, is not yet about creating legal consequences.
Instead, it is an effort to shame those who do not internally ascribe to the values or loaded language held within. Once legislators shift from a focus on the concrete actions of constituents into judging our heart motives and values, our relationship with our government lacks protective boundaries.
The Gafni-Asher bill did not pass, but it shows what some Orthodox (Talmudic) Jews would like to see enacted.
Evangelism is still legal; though, some police, military and citizens harass those who tell people about Jesus in public in Israel.

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL – Is it possible that the Israeli government this year could pass legislation making it illegal for people to share the Gospel message in the very land where Jesus was born, raised, preached, died, buried and rose from the dead?
Unfortunately, yes.
As Palm Sunday and Easter approach – the two most sacred days on the calendar for those who follow Jesus as both God and Messiah – two members of the Knesset (Israel’s parliament) introduced a bill last week that would ban any and all efforts to tell people about Jesus.
The bill would send violators to prison. …
“Politics has become football. You have two different teams, and you’re just rooting for your team. It doesn’t matter what right or wrong is. … You can’t have a real conversation anymore on Twitter. All you see are the two football teams hitting at each other….” –Bradley James Skistimas of Five Times August
Israeli lawmakers introduced a new bill in Israel that would punish believers for sharing the gospel of Jesus with prison time. Jerusalem Correspondent Daniel Cohen gave the details on News Max.
The information was first reported by Joel C. Rosenberg on All Israel News.

Tucker: “…but if you say ‘What actually happened with Building 7?’ Like that is weird, right? What is that? [How this steel skyscraper collapsed into its own footprint at near-free-fall speed, having had only small office fires]. If you were to say something like that on television, they’d flip out! Like you’d lose your job over that. Why? It’s my country. Can’t I ask a…. Do buildings actually collapse like that? No! Maybe they do. I don’t know. But why can’t I ask questions about that? Anything you’re not allowed to ask questions about is something you should be asking more questions about [big belly laugh] — as far as I’m concerned.”
A man was at the Mall of America wearing a shirt that said “Jesus Saves” on the front, and the back said, “Jesus is the Only Way.” Apparently, people at the mall were offended and complained to the mall cops who confronted the man, telling him he either had to take off/change his shirt or leave the mall.
A bystander captured the unbelievable confrontation on video.
The latest stunning release of information from Twitter, the social media company now under the management of Elon Musk, is the biggest who-done-it of the year, and arguably more profound a news story than the Watergate break-in during the 1972 presidential election. You would not know it by the news coverage.
Bitchute was created out of a need for free speech absolutism during a time when YouTube was busy working on tweaking their algorithms to shadow ban voices who they disagree with.
Big tech has now taking this battle to another level by freezing the funds of the Bitchute bank account in yet another attempt to silence voices they don’t like!
In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth interviews Ray Vahey, the founder and chief executive of Bitchute about his bank account being frozen, why free speech absolutism is important and most importantly where he sees things going for Bitchute into 2023.

“Their only path to victory is our fear based silence.” – Dan Fagan 12/1/22
If these groups think that their places of worship and nonprofits will be exempt from anti-discrimination lawsuits and attacks on religious liberty, they are sorely mistaken. Unless they embrace the demands of same-sex marriage anti-discrimination requirements hook, line, and sinker, then they will be subject to the same concerns regarding tax exemption and licensure. …
Not only will religious institutions be subject to losing their tax-exempt status, grants, licensure, and more, they will likely not be able to continue to offer their services in the community.
Musk is considering a bankruptcy filing.
