"Zuckerberg wants amnesty. He wants to eat a teensy bit of crow in exchange for amnesiac friends across the aisle who treat him like the next Elon Musk who swooped in with lifeboats for the sinking ship, rather than the corrupt captain who took the ship down. This isn’t a real admission of guilt. We can’t give Mark Zuckerberg amnesty for the same reason we can’t give it to Anthony Fauci or Joe Biden or Letitia James or Jack Smith. There can be no amnesty without restitution and true accountability — for Covid crimes, corruption, lawfare, or, in this case, censorship. It’s too little, too late.
"Zuckerberg is ultimately shooting for a plea deal in the court of public opinion. He wants to throw his co-conspirators under the bus and half-heartedly admit guilt for lesser offenses with the hope of a slap on the wrist and maybe a little community service. That’s not justice, and the American people should reject it."

"Since it is so likely that children will meet cruel enemies, let them at least hear of brave knights.”
C.S. Lewis
“A man’s natural rights are his own, against the whole world; and any infringement of them is equally a crime, whether committed by one man, or by millions; whether committed by one man, calling himself a robber, (or by any other name indicating his true character,) or by millions, calling themselves a government.”
Lysander Spooner (1867). “No Treason: No. 1-”, p.7
Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.
In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people.
The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and in the degeneracy of manners and of morals engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.
James Madison, 1795
