If elected officials can control information dissemination to benefit a select few instead of the many…?

Pontius Pilate was the first great censor,

 and Jesus Christ the first great victim of censorship.

Is it hard to get entrenched economic and political leadership to understand

if relative legitimacy depends on not understanding?

 

What if what you’ve been told to think isn’t?

 

First they came for the Communists,

 but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out.

 

 Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists,

but I was not one of them so I did not speak out.

 

Then they came for the Jews, but I was not Jewish so I did not speak out.

 

 And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.
