Did we not tell you that soon posting on social media was going to end up landing dissenters in prison? Well, check this out …
How long have you been hearing people on the right warn that the left was coming for the 1st Amendment?
We have always been well aware that the 2nd Amendment was in their sights, and clearly it is.
We also know that once the 2nd Amendment has been gutted that there will be nothing to stop the government, (the corporations didn’t even need to take the guns to take our speech rights) from going after the 1st.
I want to be EXTRA CLEAR that I am in no way calling for violence or the use of firearms. All I am saying is that we need to hold our freedoms near and dear, for if we do not, once they are gone, they will not come back.
The Gateway Pundit reported:
‘A pro-Trump meme maker and Twitter troll was indicted Wednesday by the feds for using the social media platform to ‘spread election disinformation’ to Hillary Clinton voters in 2016.
“Ricky Vaughn” AKA, Douglass Mackey, used Twitter to post memes and troll Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election cycle.
31-year-old Mackey was arrested in West Palm Beach on one charge of conspiracy against rights and faces up to 10 years in prison.
According to the unsealed indictment, Mackey conspired with others on Twitter to encourage black people to cast their votes via text message.
The Eastern District of New York said in its indictment that one week before the 2016 election, Mackey tweeted an image of a black woman in front of an “African Americans for President Hillary” sign.
Emblazoned on the picture was the message: “Avoid the Line. Vote from Home. Text ‘Hillary’ to 59925. Vote for Hillary and be a part of history”
…
“Starting in at least 2015, MACKEY participated in numerous Group DMs. These groups, which at times included dozens of individuals, and at times had overlapping membership, served as forums for the participants to share, among other things, their views concerning how best to influence the Election. Among other things, MACKEY and the members of these groups used the Group DMs to create, refine and share memes and hashtags that members of the groups would subsequently post and distribute.”
An example of the criminal behavior describes Mackey and his friends on Twitter joking around in private groups about trolling “shitlibs” with memes:
“For example, on or about December 22, 2015, MACKEY and his associates exchanged messaged in the Fed Free Hatechat relating to memes suggesting that certain voters were hiding their desire to vote for a Presidential candidate from on of the two main political parties (“Candidate 2”). MACKEY stated, using MACKEY Account 1, “It’s actually a great meme to spread, make all these shitlibs think they’re (sic) friends are secretly voting for (Candidate2)”. A participant in the group conversations, a Twitter user, described it as “perfect psyops” to which MACKEY later replied, “We’ve hit upon meme magic motherlode.” The next day, MACKEY used MACKEY Account 1 to retweet a tweet that contained one of the discussed memes with the following text: “If you need support, I am here for you #(Candidate 2)Closet.”
WE KEEP WARNING YOU, THE END GAME HERE IS TO MAKE POLITICAL SPEECH THAT IS NOT IN LINE WITH CANCEL CULTURE ILLEGAL!
