A Message From The Speir News and Entertainment Platform If you just arrived at this unique space on the worldwide net, welcome to the Speir News and Entertainment Platform. To our many friends and viewers, welcome back. What Speir is intended to be is a safe pace for truth seekers, who are looking not for the slop and outright propaganda that pollutes the media, including the social media, but for thought provoking coverage of current history that tries to give people a glimpse of what might be going on "beneath the floorboards," where policies are made that determine our present and future lives, without our knowledge and certainly without our consent. We present this in the English language, but with our unique, "We Speak Your Language" translation app, it is available to you in almost any language and dialect in the world, for you to read and share. One of the essential principles of individual freedom is the right to free, uncensored speech—the right to express one's ideas without fear of repression or penalty, and without some government or other authority, such as a social media platform, to determine what can and cannot be said, or tell someone what is true or false. Free speech carries with it the responsibility to not knowingly lie or seek to mislead. But even in those cases, speech should not be repressed or censored, but instead confronted by the truth, as all lies must be so confronted.
