......I am an Orthodox Jew. Because my people were exiled from Israel about two thousand years ago, I am a citizen of the United States.
......I was born in this country, and it has been a good country overall. I love it as the homeland of many people whom I care very much about, and I want to see America have peace and prosperity forever. I am grateful for the religious freedom and free speech that has been afforded to us here in America.
......But suddenly in the last few weeks I saw that strict censorship has taken hold of this beautiful land. There had been a lot of censorship in recent years, but one could pretty easily find people speaking freely if one tried. I see that this has now changed.
......Now I just spent hours searching on the internet for a platform of free speech, because I do not own a cell phone and thus could not use Parler. And Apple might get rid of Parler soon anyway. So I found Gab, and then on Gab someone introduced me to Minds and Odysee.
......Together with search engine DuckDuckGo (for free-speechers to replace Google with,) these seem like the last remaining bastions of free speech on the internet. And that is an alarming thought.
......We don't want America to be New China! G-d, please protect America from the infiltrating forces that are hard at work right now trying to destroy this great country from within it. (Say "Amen!")
