Freedom: April 2007 Archives

Editor's note: Intellectual dissent is a right supported by Prout propounder Shrii P.R. Sarkar in his lectures entitled Liberation of Intellect. By denying this right, as American, Canadian, German and other courts are consistently doing on select issues, not only is mental freedom suppressed, the opportunity to learn from public debate is lost, the minds of people become controlled, and the stage is set for economic and other forms of exploitation. In the modern age, one of the chief weapons of the exploiter is not the gun or the Star Chamber, but insulation from critique by means of making critique illegal. Another, though not discussed in the article below, is making critique of immorality itself appear immoral, the perversion of justice described by George Orwell in his book 1984. The choice is clear: freedom of thought, or a new Dark Age regulated by vested interests for their benefit. Intellectuals like Ernst Zundel should be allowed to express their views.
