As we navigate these turbulent times, it’s clear that the issue of censorship is more pressing than ever. Recently, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) hinted that Congress might take action to deal with what they call “disinformation.” Well, let me tell you, this is just another step in their grand strategy to control the narrative and stifle free speech.
In a recent dialogue I had, I discussed how out-of-control censorship has become. AOC’s comment was a wake-up call. It’s not just about “fighting disinformation”; it’s about silencing voices they don’t agree with. If Kamala Harris ever gets voted in—or worse, if she steals the election—we’re going to have to fight our way out of this mess. And no, I’m not advocating for violence. But we need to take decisive action by exercising civil disobedience: stop working, take to the streets peacefully, and boycott as much as we can.
I suggested stocking up on storable foods for 42 days so we can sustain ourselves during this period of civil disobedience. We don’t want anyone to suffer; we want everyone prepared. My wife Deb echoed these sentiments: “If Kamala gets in office, you won’t have a choice,” she said. “Nobody’s going to be buying anything.”
Moreover, we need to expose instances of forced labor and other injustices happening right under our noses. I decided to take my own advice and contacted the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with information I had gathered about potential human rights abuses involving Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio.
Here’s what happened: I spoke with various sources who informed me that there were 10 to 15 Haitians crammed into a small two or three-bedroom house—conditions that are not only inhumane but downright abusive. These individuals were promised jobs and housing, only to find themselves exploited and living in fear.
When I called DHS’s tip line, it was evident from the wait times and responses that bureaucracy often stands in the way of swift action. Still, persistence is key. After navigating through various prompts and waiting on hold, I finally got through to a criminal analyst at Homeland Security Investigations.
I relayed everything I knew: how these Haitian migrants were being shuffled around like commodities by first diversity staffing agencies under investigation by the Ohio Attorney General; how they paid rent to people who didn’t even own the properties; how they lived in overcrowded homes and slept in shifts due to lack of space.
The analyst agreed this situation required investigation: “It sounds like they’re rent slaves,” he said—a statement that hit home hard. These are real human beings being exploited under supposedly legal frameworks.
Even though Mayor Rob Rue of Springfield was informed about these issues last week, nothing has been done yet. This negligence cannot continue unchallenged. We must hold our local leaders accountable while also pushing back against those at the national level who seek more control over us.
Let’s remember why we’re here: because we care deeply for this country and its values—freedom of speech included—and refuse to see them eroded by power-hungry politicians or tech giants.
I’ve done my part by reporting these abuses live for transparency; now it’s your turn! Speak up when you see injustices happening around you. Document them if possible so others can’t dismiss them as mere rumors or exaggerations.
We don’t do things halfway here in America—especially when it comes to justice and freedom!
Stay strong,
Pete Santilli
