A Ridiculous Conundrum

From today’s news it’s apparent that in this “woke” environment, it is impossible to know whether to speak or not to speak. Sometimes if you vocalize … you are in trouble. Whereas, sometimes if you don’t vocalize … you’re in trouble. It almost seems that it depends on which side of the bed the “woke” arbiter woke up on!

From Townhall:

A Christian pro-life leader in England was arrested not simply for standing in front of an abortion clinic. She was also arrested for the crime of praying while standing there, even though she was simply praying in her own head. Talk about being prosecuted for a “thought crime.” This really and truly happened.

In a video a police officer asks Vaughan-Spruce politely, “Are you praying?” She responds, “I might be praying in my head.”

In the words of Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, leader of the UK March for Life, “It’s abhorrently wrong that I was searched, arrested, interrogated by police and charged simply for praying in the privacy of my own mind. Nobody should be criminalized for thinking and for praying, in a public space in the UK.”

Accordingly, “Whilst in the police station, Vaughan-Spruce was shown pictures of herself outside the abortion facility. She said she could not recall from the pictures whether she was praying at these specific moments, or whether these had been taken at times that she was distracted and thought about other things, such as her lunch. She maintains that all her thoughts were equally peaceful and imperceptible and that none should be criminalised.”

This was not Orwell’s 1984. This was England in 2022. Let that sink in.

Whereas in contradistinction to the UK, here in the U.S. one has to apparently refrain from verbalizing what’s on one’s mind.

From BlazeMedia:

Radio broadcaster Gary Hahn has been indefinitely suspended after mentioning “illegal aliens” during a broadcast.

While covering Duke’s Mayo Bowl on Friday, Hahn gave the score of the Sun Bowl, saying that “amongst all the illegal aliens” in El Paso, the game stood at UCLA with 14 and Pittsburgh with 6.

Now let’s be clear, Gary Hahn was not making anything up. He was commenting on what was actually happening in El Paso, where Mayor Oscar Leeser declared a state of emergency earlier this month as the area grappled with an influx of migrants, according to CNN.

Likewise, in El Paso, Sun Bowl Association executive director Bernie Olivas announced that the Fan Fiesta was cancelled, mentioning the use of the convention center for migrants — the festivities had been slated to occur at the El Paso Convention Center.

Gary Hahn worked for Learfield Sports and Learfield has suspended Wolfpack Sports Network play-by-play announcer from his agreement indefinitely because … because he commented on what was actually happening in El Paso.

What a conundrum!

In Britain, a woman was arrested for being silent, whereas in the U.S. a sports announcer was suspended for commenting on something that was in the national news!

Both are ridiculous!
