They consider your Right of free speech to be a "Human Right". It is not, it is a Natural Right.
The difference between Human Rights and Natural Rights is significant, and somewhat analogous to the difference between Equity and Equality. The two concepts are basically mutually exclusive. Natural Rights are universal, fundamental and inalienable, whereas "Human Rights" are specific benefits that are bestowed upon citizens by their governments. Human Rights are a synthetic creation of the UN, the are an intrinsic part of the control system... you will get your "Human Rights" as long as you play along with the plan. The government has no part in bestowing Natural Rights upon people, the only possible thing they can do (and almost always do) is to fail to respect them. Wise laws are written in a way that protects Natural Rights through negative assertions, i.e. "shall not be infringed". The government does not grant you the Right of free speech, it (ideally) commits to not infringing upon the citizens Natural Right of freedom of speech. The government does not have the right to, indeed the government has no rights, only powers. Exercise of those powers unjustly is essentially what tyranny is.
Tyrants stand up and tell you that they are protecting you from some grave danger, they are keeping you "safe", that their despotic rule is "for the greater good", and this vapid Oedipal cunt had the audacity (and stupidity) to use that very argument. Fuck them!
