The Pen is Mightier Than the Sword
Zionists pressure America First nationalists to subdue their right to free speech, but such action has only fueled the movement against the regime.
For centuries, man has engaged in combat over the exchange of information. The phrase, “The pen is mightier than the sword,” comes to mind.
The written word has long been effective in political and social change. Perhaps that is why much of it is now being categorized as “violent” or “hateful.” The truth and its interpretation have a definitive power, so it must be censored by the so-called “elite” or “establishment.”
The original phrase was written in the 1839 play Richelieu; or the Conspiracy, commonly shortened to Richelieu by Edward Bulwer-Lytton.
In the story, Richelieu is the chief minister of King Lous XIII. He discovers a plot to have him killed, but due to his priesthood vows, he cannot take action. And so he exclaims:
The pen is mightier than the sword … Take away the sword; States can be saved without it!
According to Oxford Quotation Dictionaries associated editor Susan Ratcliffe, the phrase became commonplace soon after. The author Bulwer-Lytton is also known for the line “It was a dark and stormy night” and ironically was awarded for badly written first sentences.
In the past, there have been similar phrases, from the Greek poet Euripides (406 B.C.) to George Whetstone (1582), who wrote Civil Discourses. French emperor and military commander Napoleon (circa 1794) has even gone on to echo the sentiment:
Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than 1,000 bayonets.
Still, some insist he never outright said it, but the ideals lie within his actions and views. Michael Broers, professor of Western European history at Oxford University, told BBC that:
He respected the press and feared it, too. He realized all his life the power and literature and the power of the press … He knew he could undermine the allies who had defeated him through his memoirs. …
With the conflict in Gaza, the United States is grappling with the reality of a Zionist state in its backyard. Activism is being shut down through shaming and cancellation. Academics are being replaced for not toeing the line. Independent reporters are being banned and censored on social media platforms, all under the guise of supposed “hate” and “violent” speech.
There is never a moment when someone is not being banned, suspended, or facing some social repercussions today, particularly on the issue of Zionism—Jewish nationalism.
Morgan Ariel is a prominent conservative Christian activist who used to be associated with Turning Point USA (TPUSA), an organization that may or may not have Israeli ties. She worked with the group until her opinions of Zionism were exposed and condemned.
Some assert it may have been one of her critical posts about Zionists or Zionism. For instance, she once posted on X:
The Zionist Jews controlling our planet are all pedophiles who have no regard for the sanctity of human life and purity. … Read the Talmud and it will all make more sense.
On Saturday, she forcefully responded back by creating a thread: “THE TALMUD EXPOSED (Pt. 1).” Expect to hear more from the newly-annointed dissident.
Now, we must consider the reasons for TPUSA’s actions. They are the same as Lucas Gage’s 3-month suspension, my own unpublished article from Townhall and frequent X suspensions for news reports.
Gage believes Zionist money to be at the heart, going on to say:
Morgan [Ariel] has been very vocal about her opposition to Zionism and Jewish Supremacy. I applaud her for her bravery and for not even flinching when they pulled the plug. We need more people to be like her: principled and fearless.
He also told Paleocon Publishing that:
It is a shame someone like Brian [Pfail], who has been nothing but respectful and professional in his reporting, is being treated like an anonymous troll, getting locked out of his account for merely typing about the other side of a story.
Those who are “large and in charge” are afraid. The pen appears to be mightier than the sword, so they do not allow for open discourse in this genre. They know they will lose; they know public support is down and that their enemy—nationalism—is on the rise.
For this reason, nationalism is often referred to as “extremism,” “hateful,” and “isolationist.” But, of course, it must be understood that Zionism cannot exist alongside nationalism. That is why “nationalism” is used to connote a negative reaction and is often associated with race.
Coming back to the veteran—Lucas Gage. After he was suspended from X, he endorsed the America First movement. He told Paleocon Publishing:
I was impressed with how fast [America First] is growing and how influential it has become. Granted, it is not close to breaking the supremacy of the Zionist entity on the actual political front, but it has, however, won the hearts and minds of many Americans, especially the youth, which is the first and most crucial step towards organizing and mobilizing against this foreign parasite at the polls, soon.
America First isn’t anything of what these Jewish Zionist NGOs claim; as I previously mentioned, they hate nationalism and will make it socially prohibited if possible.
Education reigns supreme in this information warfare, and sometimes, the simple reality of a message can scare a person awake and to action. That is very much Lucas’ style. Other commentators take different angles and approaches.
Let the lunatic leftists act out only hating Israel and Zionism because their DEI instructor insisted the ideology and state were founded on “Whiteness.”
The point is that these methods of censorship and cancellation will not work with the support of America Firsters. Everyone counts.
Gage, however, didn’t appear hopeful after Elon’s visit to Isreal, telling the outlet that “X is cracking down on whatever its Zionist overlords consider ‘antisemitic.’” He then said he wouldn’t be surprised if he were permanently banned as the policies continue to change at X:
… When I return, I’m hit with a slew of other violations for posts that I wasn’t able to delete while suspended, deemed ‘hateful’ with the new ‘standards,’ all at once and end up suspended permanently or … drastically reduce the reach of my account …
He still expressed hope in America’s fight for free speech, calling on the many to act against the few.
Paleocon Publishing will do its best to continue supporting America First dissidents and Christians, standing firm against tyranny in pursuit of free speech and the truth.
