Midnight repost: “What ever you do, don’t ‘shut up.'”
The tenth anniversary retrospective of Behind the Black continues: Tonight’s midnight repost is actually something not by me, but a video commentary by Andrew Klavan that he broadcast in 2011 and I embedded as a post in January of that year.
Sadly, his words have not become dated in the slightest. If anything, they has become more topical. And as then, I abide by his final words, “Whatever you do, don’t ‘shut up.””
The support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.
Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

If they can force a sitting president to shut up and not campaign, what would dictator Joe Biden do to the little people?

Even the appearance of denying another candidate for any person for that matter their constitutional rights should disqualify Biden for any political office. Apparently I was unaware that we are living in a banana republic.
Still timely.
I am not on twitter.
Someone who is ought to tweet the link at @therealdonatltrump. Maybe he will re-tweet it and give it a broader viewing. There are people that need to hear this very time proven message.
Download or make a copy of the video though.
If it gets to popular, U-tube may push it down the memory hole.
What a World this is turning out to be.
All of America’s people, of all walks of life, have always
contributed achievements that benefited the good of Mankind.
Shutting Up is not an option.
