We all should defend free speech in America

Speech is power, speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

It’s been a week since my last blog post and it’s hard to decide where to even begin. First, I’m going to say that I’ve been challenging the Dem/liberal media spin information war since 1998 – that’s the truth. It’s been 25 long years. On July 7th I posted a thread on X, which I ‘m going to type it out here , even though I’m including the link – just in case my X posts disappear at some point. I’ve had other online messages of mine disappear online over the years, since the Clinton impeachment. Here’s the link: https://x.com/susan_heward/status/1809907361814806706

Here’s the text:

Many Americans probably have no clue about the seriousness of having a POTUS in the Oval Office, with advancing cognitive decline, holding the office. The President is also the CINC. He’s the person who leads our military and has the ultimate control of our nuclear arsenal.

It was one thing to have an Edith Wilson, right after WWI, it’s another, when America today, according to our own FBI and intel officials, have stated we are in a very complex and dangerous threat environment.

Since 1999, I committed myself to expose the corrupt Democrat spin information war. I’m an ordinary American. I don’t know any important people and live in GA. During the Clinton impeachment scandal, I unintentionally became a target to silence.

My late husband was an active duty soldier in 1999 and I believe a retired general was recruited to silence me, when pretty new to the internet, I wandered onto the internet and started posting comments on the politics Excite message boards.

My husband served under that general during Desert Storm and respected him. That general was a brigade commander and his wife was another Hillary or Jill – wielding all the power of her husband’s position.

During Desert Storm we were in Germany.

Due to my husband being a First Sergeant, I was the family support group leader for his company. The company commander was single.

Things are trying when solider deploy, many with young wives, kids, lots of problems, but being in a foreign country compounds them.

I had some run-ins with that brigade commander’s wife during Desert Storm, regarding family support matters.

The Army leaves a rear-detachment commander in charge when a unit deploys. A smart commander appoints his worst to that position and takes his best to war.

Ours was a LTC. I called him once about an issue. He told me he wasn’t the rear-detachment commander, that was some major.

The brigade commander’s wife, on the other hand, had no problem taking charge – even things that were official Army matters.

She and I had some run-ins. She called me once and told me that she was going to have to report me to her husband and tell him I wasn’t cooperating. I refused to go along with her dictates and told her the Army has rules and I was following them.

I am a rules person.

As all sorts of things started to happen, I wrote letters to my husband. I decided to write letters to my husband’s company commander to inform him about what was going on too, because it’s important for morale that soldiers know their families are safe back home.

I thought he should have a head’s up. Years later I realized those letters had made their way to DOD [DA] after Desert Storm and caused a ripple. Those letters were rather snarky and not flattering accounts of that brigade commander’s wife or many family support situations.

Then during impeachment in 1999, I believe that brigade commander, by then a retired general, (and Dem general) was recruited to try to shut me up.

I can’t prove it and am not going to go into details, because the important thing is this current crisis.

What’s happening now is about more than an election, it’s about all of us – each and every American citizen could be at risk, because many people believed they didn’t have to play by the rules and that it’s okay to use any means necessary to win.

I see people on the right on here wanting apologies or recognition that they got the story right or people obsessed with polls and the partisan fervor. To defeat this spin information war, expose the wholesale public corruption, and protect our Constitution will take all of us.

If you recognize the seriousness of a CINC with advanced cognitive decline & an unknown circle running the White House, then please look to people trying to expose the scandal, not spin it sway [away] and cover it up. Please, put ego aside, share information, work together.

We are all Americans.

Back in 2013 I wrote my story messages of mhere on my blog and it’s still on my home page. All of the people named are real people. mhere was my user name on the Excite message boards during the Clinton impeachment. It was a joke of sorts, because mir in Russian means peace and I have always been a pretty strident Cold War warrior mentality, but I’ve always dreamed of a more peaceful world.

I believe I was confronting Clinton spinmeisters on those Excite message boards, as the Clinton spinmeisters started going scorched earth mode in 1998 – doing exactly what they’re doing now – aggressive spin word messaging barrages across all of liberal media – except back then it was ranting about “sex, sex, sex” and a prominent law professor showing up on cable news nightly to argue that Bill Clinton lying about sex under oath wasn’t a crime, because everybody lies about sex.

Granted things are more sophisticated now with social media platforms, stealth editing online to make stories disappear, algorithms used to depress flow of information, shadow banning people and other deceptive means to control information in America. As I argued on those Excite message boards, my intent was to counter bullies, who were trying to drown out dissenting opinions with their aggressive spin word tactics on those message boards. Then I noticed that some of my lines from those message boards were being borrowed by actual right-wing pundits in the media in the spin war being played out.

I believe that I was tracked down during that process and that they came across my husband’s Desert Storm brigade commander, who hates me. I know he hates me – after Desert Storm there was a family get-together and he and his wife were walking past me and my husband and kids, His wife made a point of saying, hello to me and her husband gave me an angry glare that scared me honestly.

It was years later at another Army post where a woman (paid government employee) involved in Army family support started trashing the wife of a brigade commander’s wife, who had just left. I told her I knew this lady during Desert Storm. This brigade commander’s wife had been my husband’s Desert Storm battalion commander’s wife (petitesouthernbelle) – who stood up to that Desert Storm brigade commander’s wife (I named her QueenoftheRock). This woman told me she was friends with the QueenoftheRock. Then this woman told me about some wife’s letters that had created quite a stir after Desert Storm. That’s when I realized my husband’s company commander had turned those letters in with the after-action reporting. The Army does after-action reports, so the Army can learn from mistakes and build on things that worked well. The US Army has a lessons learned approach.

My late husband was not into politics and he didn’t pay any attention to the politics around the Army. He was always just concerned about his soldiers and the mission. He trusted his Desert Storm company commander, battalion commander and that brigade commander and in no universe could he have imagined that brigade commander wishing me harm.

The events in messages of mhere, to the best of my recollection, began in the fall of 1998 and ended in early 1999.

It’s fine if you decide I’m just some crazy person online, but I urge you to be prepared for an intensification of this Dem/liberal media spin information war, which goes way beyond this November election. It’s about controlling information in America and deciding who can speak publicly and who can’t. There’s epic abuse of power, abuse of government resources and information (especially within the FBI and our intel agencies) to aid and abet the Dem/liberal media spin war effort. There are scores upon scores of former top government officials willing to sign on to these corrupt Dem spin war efforts (51 former intelligence officials claim Hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation). During impeachment with that attack on me, I strongly suspect some active duty people and Army assets were employed.

Fast forward to 2017 and the Obama administration set into motion the development of a massive federal government/civilian contractor effort to develop a “cognitive security” apparatus to ostensibly combat dis/misinformation, as they were leaving the White House in 2017.

Americans will have to open their eyes to this looming threat to our free speech rights and to the vast corruption. Then they’ll have to decide if this is the kind of America they want to live in.

This goes way beyond partisan politics. I was a homemaker, who’s never owned a firearm, and I was attacked in my own home during the Clinton impeachment. And yes, I’m still going to continue speaking out about this abuse of power and corrupt Dem/liberal media spin information war, as long as I can.
