Freedom of Speech in the USA.
First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
First Amendment was designed so people can express their opinions, it wasn’t designed to kill those who did.
Freedom of Speech is very essential to UFOlogy, it allows people to express their feelings, ideas, experiences in the paranormal. As an investigator for over 30 years now, I’ve been ridiculed, made fun of, and threatened because of my beliefs in UFOlogy. For me, some news media groups are to blame for this. They report false news or prefabricated news to align with their own agenda, not the general public’s way of thinking.
Let me explain, I’ve experienced this firsthand.
While giving a live interview at a TV station in Missouri years ago, both news anchors sat behind a desk looking at two separate stationary cameras. No camera operators, this was all remote. Under both cameras were teleprompters. The anchors would then read pre-determined questions from the teleprompters addressed to me. These questions were not aligned with my philosophy in UFOlogy and didn’t cover what I thought were important issues. Well, there was no one else in the studio but an engineer off to one side running the whole thing. Kinda reminded me of the Wizard of Oz. Well, one of the news anchors would read their question assigned to them and then turn to me for an answer. At one point I thought my answer was going to be on the teleprompter too! (ha ha) These news anchors were there to look good on camera and read predetermined questions from a teleprompter. That’s it, anyone can do their job. Unfortunately, I’m guessing AI will eventually replace these types of news anchors in the near future for a lot less money.
Now because this blog is on Freedom of Speech and not the press, you probably know where this is heading, and you’re right, the assignation of Charlie Kirk. And yes, it was a political assassination and some deranged people out there are celebrating it. There is something very wrong with these people and there is now, as it appears, consequences to those who are celebrating his death on social media.
The First Amendment gives us the right for Freedom of Speech, but there’s a fine line between speaking your mind compared to verbally attacking someone or celebrating a person’s death on social media who was just practicing, Freedom of Speech.
A lot of these hateful people are now being fired from their jobs because they spoke before they thought about what they were saying. Do they not realize what they’re doing could cause personal consequences due to their actions? Just because you’re not at work at the time you made the comments, doesn’t mean your comments won’t upset the company’s customers. Well, it may, so the only way a company can distance your comments from the company is to distance you from the company.
But maybe some of these outspoken hateful people who seem to strive from being in the spotlight might have an actual mental disorder! Yep, there is a medical term for some of these people.
Histrionic Personality Disorder:
Cleaveland Clinic:
Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is a mental health condition marked by unstable emotions, a distorted self-image and an overwhelming desire to be noticed. People with HPD often behave dramatically or inappropriately to get attention.
This disorder has been around since the 19th century. It could explain why some people have died trying to get that perfect picture of themselves near a cliff or other dangerous places for their social media pages. While they’re so wrapped up trying to get that perfect picture, they lose sight of all the dangers around them.
But with some people it’s not a disorder, it’s just who they are. Maybe they were spoiled and always got their way, or maybe they’re the types of people who are easily influenced, either way, they have issues.
Now some people it’s more of a “marketing strategy” a way of getting more traffic to their websites or social media pages. Those people are easy to spot if an ad runs before their social ranting or video runs. As a UFO Investigator, these are the types of people that really make me mad. These are the ones that create false UFO sightings in forms of “CGI” or “AI” videos and photos just to get traffic to their website to make money.
These types of sites really make it hard to differentiate between real UFO sightings from genuine people compared to the idiots out there who just want to profit by lying.
Now back to Charlie Kirk.
WIKIPEDIA: Charles James Kirk (October 14, 1993 – September 10, 2025) was an American right-wing political activist, author, and media personality. He co-founded the conservative organization Turning Point USA (TPUSA) in 2012 and was its executive director. He published a range of books and hosted The Charlie Kirk Show, a talk radio program. In his later years, he became recognized as one of the most prominent voices of the MAGA movement in the Republican Party.
Once again, this guy was murdered because he practiced Freedom of Speech.
Think about this, getting killed for speaking your mind. Are we regressing back to the days before the Constitution of the United States was written? Thomas Jefferson said:
“Reason and free inquiry are the only effectual agents against error.”
Meaning; If individuals are allowed to think freely and question established norms, they can arrive at more accurate understandings of the world around them.
For all those who are applauding Charlie Kirk’s death because he was practicing Freedom of Speech and I’m sure a MAGA supporter too; Are you saying then, it’s ok for someone to kill you for practicing your Freedom of Speech and being an anti-MAGA supporter? Let’s hope not.
Freedom of Speech protests defending Charlie Kirk is not just happening in the the US, but all over the world. It appears those who applauded his death are not just a minority here in the US, but it appears they are a minority across the globe. People around the world are now getting angry at those hateful people, organizations and government officials who try to stifle Freedom of Speech and who attack those for their own personal gains.
This has become a movement and those who applaud Kirk’s death, well you may want to be concerned, you just may become a target.
I’ve always stated on many podcasts and blogs, I will fight for the right for people to speak their minds even if I disagree with them. I believe every UFO skeptic and debunker has the right to defend their beliefs. Where I draw the line is, Hate Speech or Bullying. I don’t tolerate that on this website and have deleted “multiple times” comments pertaining to my blogs that were hateful or that harass. Not only that, those who cross the line on comments venturing into the illegal area, well I forward those emails to the FBI which they can track. People seem to forget I used to be in law enforcement.
So, I may not have agreed with everything Charlie Kirk said, but like I said earlier, I would fight for the right for him to say it. Matter of fact on some of his videos, he made some misguided people think by pointing out the error in their logic or way of thinking. I’ve done the same thing multiple times when it comes to UFOlogy through many email exchanges and debates. The bottom line is, we all have the right to express our opinions through Freedom of Speech but for those who disagree? Good, it’s your right to do so. Sometimes we learn from others and sometimes others learn from us. Both ways are beneficial but at least we’re communicating, and that’s what’s important.
Just don’t cross that proverbial line while expressing your Freedom of Speech. It just may come back to haunt you. (Paranormal humor.)
