They Know What You Are Thinking !

Just today I thought about a game we used to play as kids when someone had to make a choice. “I am thinking of a number between one and five; each of you make a guess, and whoever is the closest wins.” Because it is impossible to know what a person is thinking, he/she would have to be honest … “the number I am thinking of is ‘two.’” 

Hypothetically, if there was a substantial penalty for thinking of the number ‘two,’ would the questioner lie? I guess that whether he lies or not would depend on his character. 

I was reminded of this “what am I thinking when I read another amazing story from England of mind reading.

From BlazeNews:

A British Army veteran was confronted by police for standing silently near an abortion clinic in Bournemouth, England. The man’s apparent crime: He was silently praying for his murdered son.

According to Adam Smith-Connor! “22 years ago, I drove an ex-girlfriend to a facility where I paid for her to have an abortion. Many years later, I came to realize what I had done and it has been a source of great grief to me in my life. 

“I now pray for my son and to God for forgiveness,” said Smith-Connor, adding, “I would never have imagined being in a position to risk a criminal record for praying silently.”

The Scotsman reported that in October, the abattoir in Bournemouth became the fifth in the country to get a PSPO (Public Space Protection Order). Among the things that are forbidden in such a buffer zone are protests via “graphic, verbal or written means” and “holding vigils where members audible pray, recite Scripture, genuflect, sprinkle holy water on the ground or cross themselves if they perceive a service-user is passing by.”

“Freedom of thought has to be one of the most fundamental freedoms that any human being can have,” Smith-Connor said. “I spent 20 years in the military including spending time in Afghanistan defending the very principle of freedom.”

“I’m not a criminal,” Smith-Connor emphasized. “I am a husband. I am a father. I’m a military veteran and I’m a Christian. But I have been censored.”

The amazing thing in Adam’s case, he “could now face prosecution for holding thoughts, and lifting those thoughts to God in prayer, within a censorship zone.”

If Adam Smith-Connor when he was asked had said that he was thinking of his daily wordle game, then he would not have been cited. But because he was silently praying and admitted it, he was cited and fined.

He is now challenging the resultant council fine, stating, “This cannot be right in a country that values freedom.”

Let this be a warning, fellow Americans, as the thought police are out there. If they have their way, apparently thinking the wrong thoughts will soon be verboten!
