Several quote are very important as it related to today

" Without freedom of thought there can be no such thing and as wisdom-and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech."

"security without liberty is called prison."

"Whoever would overthrow the liberty of the nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech."

also look at his speech on the last day of the Constitutional convention for much historical reference

    Franklin suspected that may happen due to his knowing human nature quite well.
    Franklin was my late father's favorite founding father and I've a long time ago done some reading about Ben.
    To the best of my knowledge Woke joke libtards can't "cancel" him for being a slave owner.

    Tricks and Treachery are the practice of fools , that don’t have brains enough to be honest.

    The roots of political correctness have brought US to hate speech bs and has become thought policing by Big tech and the media . A small concentration of companies control 90% of the media and it coordinates with the kakistocrats to openly censor now . Afraid that it will get worse. They will have to black out the net to cover up evidence of the Qreatest treasonous attack on our country in history.
    Solar flares will be blamed.
    Arizona Georgia Pennsylvania Michigan Wisconsin Audits scare the perps to death and are using all ammo to hinder and propagandize (lie) about the results.
    We are at war Good vs Evil.
    ThanQ for posting Doc!

    At the close of the Constitutional Convention on Sept. 17, 1787, as Benjamin Franklin left the hall in Philadelphia, he was asked, "What kind of government have you given us, Dr. Franklin?"
    He replied: "A republic, if you can keep it."

    Franklin did not call our government a democracy. This link explains why~~ https://utahlinks.org/learn/docs/Brad...
