The Freedom of Speech Trap and those who Fell for it by constancefriday(op): 1:51am On Oct 21, 2021
Few years ago during the GEJ administration specifically, an FOS BILL was passed into law.
It was a moment of joy for many journalists, news agency and critics of the government as mountain loads of the unsaid could now be said.
Old dead and rotting secrets of previous and present administrations were divulged, exhumed and released like long incarcerated prisoners.
I was among those who were super excited about the FOS BILL, as I loved being the independent author of my own version of the Revelations.
However, unlike the author of the last book of the Holy Bible, my independent version of the Revelations had ten times more chapters (a book larger than the Psalms Lols).
Fast forward to today, they're plucking off those who said too much like feathers off a chicken.
Things have changed a lot lately Friends,
but don't forget all I've said so far.
Yours Sincerely;
You know my name.
Cheers!
I'm still standing.
