About this Quote

This quote by David Icke is a powerful declaration about the hypocrisy of those who declare to oppose tyranny and need flexibility of speech. He is questioning why we allow people to be penalized and silenced for just suggesting a various variation of history. He is explaining the irony of those who claim to be against tyranny and censorship, yet are willing to punish and silence those who reveal a different opinion. This quote highlights the significance of freedom of speech and the need to safeguard it, even if it means enabling individuals to reveal viewpoints that might be out of favor or questionable. It is a suggestion that we need to not hesitate to challenge the status quo and to stand up for our right to express our own opinions.
