Protecting Free Speech: The Early Warning Signs From Around The World

Published

2 minute read

From StosselTV

We Americans take free speech for granted. But if you look around the world, you see why we shouldn’t.

In Britain, you can get arrested for saying things online that police find “offensive.”

In Scotland, misgendering someone can land you in jail for seven years.

Canada may soon pass a law that would punish “advocating genocide” with life in prison.

Now in the U.S., the House of Representatives voted for a bill that would make chants like “from the river to the sea” illegal at universities.

These are bad ideas. Free speech is valuable.

After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.

Green Energy Needs Minerals, Yet America Blocks New Mines

Published on

From StosselTV

We’re told we need more minerals for EVERYTHING, especially “green” energy. But America regulators and environmental groups keep KILLING new mines!

 “Why in the world would you put billions of dollars at risk to get a permit? Knowing they’ll just cancel a permit!” Physicist Mark Mills writes about the absurd regulations in the mining industry, “You’re going to be waiting, not months, not years, but the record shows decades.” America used to lead the world in producing minerals. Now we rank next to last in the time it takes to develop mines. How did this happen? Because rich environmental groups hate mines. They run deceitful ads and even collude with government to block mines. The video above explains some of the many reasons why this is a BIG problem.

After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.

The Crisis Industry: How Activists Profit from Panic

Published on

From StosselTV

Pollution, homophobia, racism, hate; activists claim everything is getting worse. The opposite is true. But if they admit that how would they raise money?

“For activists, success is a threat,” journalist John Tierney explains. “It is going to put you out of business unless you find a new cause.”

Tierney has covered activists for years and watched them move from one cause to another. “But it’s not a business,” I push back. “They’re not making money doing this.” “Oh, yes, they are,” replies Tierney. Lots!

Our new video looks at how these activist groups raise billions of dollars, the consequences of their activism, and why we fall for their scares.
