The Aspen Institute is a quasi-religious organization originally founded as Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies. It was tightly affiliated with the Trilateral Commission in the 1970s and continues to be a mouthpiece for Trilateral policies. That Aspen campaign against Free Speech has deep globalist roots.
Democracy and Technocracy behave like matter and anti-matter, respectively. As Technocracy asserts itself, Democracy simply evaporates. No less than 70 percent of the global population is now experiencing some form of Technocrat tyranny, and that number is increasing by the day.
Technocrats cannot tolerate Free Speech because they think that they and they alone hold the master lock on truth; all else is to be rejected since it exposes the Technocrat train of insanity to conquer the entire planet.
