There is evidence that the Biden regime and social media corporations have entered into a partnership to censor Americans

The censorship of conservatives, and others of us on the political right, has reached pandemic levels.  The main goal of this wholesale censorship is to make sure Democrats maintain power and control over the American people.

This censorship may have begun with the executives running the social media giants acting on their own.  This has morphed into an enthusiastic partnership between the Joe Biden regime and the social media corporations.  The unholy alliance is chronicled in this article from the Interept.

Behind closed doors, and through pressure on private platforms, the U.S. government has used its power to try to shape online discourse. According to meeting minutes and other records appended to a lawsuit filed by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, a Republican who is also running for Senate, discussions have ranged from the scale and scope of government intervention in online discourse to the mechanics of streamlining takedown requests for false or intentionally misleading information.

This is an egregious violation of the Freedom of Speech clause of the First Amendment.  At first the social media platforms may have been hesitant, however, they warmed up to this censorship scheme.

“Platforms have got to get comfortable with gov’t. It’s really interesting how hesitant they remain,” Microsoft executive Matt Masterson, a former DHS official, texted Jen Easterly, a DHS director, in February.

In a March meeting, Laura Dehmlow, an FBI official, warned that the threat of subversive information on social media could undermine support for the U.S. government. Dehmlow, according to notes of the discussion attended by senior executives from Twitter and JPMorgan Chase, stressed that “we need a media infrastructure that is held accountable.”

Joe Biden’s corrupt Department of Homeland Security is at the very core of this alliance to censor those who have beliefs and opinions that differ from the progressive orthodoxy.

DHS’s mission to fight disinformation, stemming from concerns around Russian influence in the 2016 presidential election, began taking shape during the 2020 election and over efforts to shape discussions around vaccine policy during the coronavirus pandemic. Documents collected by The Intercept from a variety of sources, including current officials and publicly available reports, reveal the evolution of more active measures by DHS.

According to a draft copy of DHS’s Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, DHS’s capstone report outlining the department’s strategy and priorities in the coming years, the department plans to target “inaccurate information” on a wide range of topics, including “the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, racial justice, U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the nature of U.S. support to Ukraine.”

As with all tyrannies, the justification for this trampling of one of our most fundamental God=given natural rights sounds the tiniest bit noble on the surface. 

DHS justifies these goals — which have expanded far beyond its original purview on foreign threats to encompass disinformation originating domestically — by claiming that terrorist threats can be “exacerbated by misinformation and disinformation spread online.” But the laudable goal of protecting Americans from danger has often been used to conceal political maneuvering.

The scope of this partnership is far reaching.

The extent to which the DHS initiatives affect Americans’ daily social feeds is unclear. During the 2020 election, the government flagged numerous posts as suspicious, many of which were then taken down, documents cited in the Missouri attorney general’s lawsuit disclosed. And a 2021 report by the Election Integrity Partnership at Stanford University found that of nearly 4,800 flagged items, technology platforms took action on 35 percent — either removing, labeling, or soft-blocking speech, meaning the users were only able to view content after bypassing a warning screen. The research was done “in consultation with CISA,” the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

Prior to the 2020 election, tech companies including Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Discord, Wikipedia, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Verizon Media met on a monthly basis with the FBI, CISA, and other government representatives. According to NBC News, the meetings were part of an initiative, still ongoing, between the private sector and government to discuss how firms would handle misinformation during the election.

There is a very clear and linkage between the Biden regime and these traitorous social media giants.

There is also a formalized process for government officials to directly flag content on Facebook or Instagram and request that it be throttled or suppressed through a special Facebook portal that requires a government or law enforcement email to use. At the time of writing, the “content request system” at facebook.com/xtakedowns/login is still live. DHS and Meta, the parent company of Facebook, did not respond to a request for comment. The FBI declined to comment.

The author of this Federalist article is right on with this analysis.

Big Tech Isn’t A Victim In The Biden Regime’s Speech Crackdown, It’s An Eager Collaborator.  A self-government cannot survive the two-pronged assault from the government and tech companies working together to suppress disfavored speech and control the public narrative

The unholy partnership between Democrats and Corporations is a direct threat to our constitutional republic

Large corporations have become the attack dogs of the Democratic Party.  These mega businesses do the dirty work for their corrupt political masters.  This partnership has done tremendous harm to the American people, yet far too few are aware of the harm.

Social media corporations are engaging in mass censorship of anyone who dare to post anything that contradicts the established progressive narrative.  This is being done at the behest of the leadership of the Democrat Party.  Joe Biden himself has called on the social media giants to censor political opponents, deputizing them. 

I have received a great many lengthy stints in Facebook jail for voicing the truth that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from President Trump, along with a very large percentage of my conservative and libertarian friends.  Twitter is far more rabid when it comes to silencing the truth about the stolen election.

Censorship by social media is one of the primary reasons why the fraudulent election was allowed to stand.  The economic catastrophe the United States now faces is a direct result of the partnership between the Democrat Party and the social media giants.

Social media corporations censored all news that contradicted the established Democrat narrative regarding the Wuhan Flu pandemic.  This kept Americans so fearful that the majority of Americans accepted the trampling of our most fundamental rights.  This resulted in an extreme level of economic harm to all of us.

Far too Americans know of the unacceptable level of dangerous side effects caused by the COVID vaccines.  Most Americans unquestioningly accept vaccine mandates from all levels of government.  The CDC is now about to declare that the COVID vaccine become a yearly vaccine for all children. 

News corporations cram the Democrat Party platform down the throats of the American people and denigrate everything the Republican Party stands for.  These mainstream news agencies bury Democrat scandals and bury those of Democrats. This is election tampering in the extreme.

Every time a state bucks the Democrat playbook, large corporations scream bloody murder and demand the state change its evil ways.  Steps to thwart the Democrat’s transgender ideology are not allowed, neither is calling for an end to abortion, or preventing the Democrats from stealing elections.

Environment Social and Governance is the latest collaboration effort between the Democrat Party and corporations.  This will further cripple the oil and gas industry here in the United States.

We the people need to fight against this alliance.  Government solutions are not the answer, except where it comes to ending legal protections that enable this partnership.  We the people must begin a grassroots effort where we punish these deputized corporations by withholding our business and sharing our displeasure in a public way.  We need to engage in a financial and public relations guerilla style war against these corporations who do the Democrat’s bidding.

Elon Musk’s attempt to buy Twitter has demonstrated just how much the political left abhors free speech

For the past week I’ve been watching the drama unfold online, stirred up by Elon Musk and his attempt to purchase Twitter.  The drama has been entertaining and repulsive, watching progressives melt down over the fear that Elon Musk will bring free speech to Twitter.

This editorial, Opinion | Let’s hope Elon Musk doesn’t win his bid for Twitter – The Washington Post, is one of the more nauseating, although subtle, examples.

Mr. Musk has promised to make Twitter a “platform for free speech around the globe.” This vision is more or less the same one now-departed CEO Jack Dorsey championed throughout his tenure, and especially in the platform’s early days. But like its industry peers, Twitter has moved over time toward stricter rules. That isn’t because executives have changed their views, but rather because they have learned some lessons after observing how their products can be abused to manipulate elections, or spread health misinformation, or harass people en masse.

Certainly, moderators sometimes make mistakes, and more transparency surrounding enforcement decisions is in order. But a broader backtracking would be an error. To protect speech at all costs and keep Twitter free of bots and spam, as Mr. Musk has said he would like to do, is almost impossible.

This quote is right out of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.  The Marxist Oligarchs who control social media, and the vast majority of news organizations, are the individuals who manipulated the 2020 election so successfully it was stolen from President Trump..  Also they are the real cluprits guilty of spreading nonstop health misinformation, while censoring the actual truth.

The left has often channeled George Orwell and his Newspeak.   No better example is this Tweet.

The Left Wing Oligarchs have almost held a total monopoly over online political speech.   It has all been part of a master plan.  The author of this article, Media Is Hating On Musk’s Twitter Bid Because They Hate Free Thought (thefederalist.com), does a fantastic job outlining the grand scheme.

Right now, the corporate media and Big Tech are on a thought control team running interference for the left. The outlets set the narrative with biased, misleading, and fluffy coverage of Democrats. The media constantly tells Americans that Donald Trump worked with the Russians to steal the 2016 election, Kavanaugh is a rapist, Republicans are racists and domestic terrorists, and the summer of rage riots were “mostly peaceful.”

The media expect you to believe all of those lies because they said it was so. If you question them, they smear you for spreading “misinformation.” Big Tech reinforces that deliberately faulty coverage by editorializing and spinning news for its “trending topic” section on the site.

For years, Silicon Valley giants have done the control regime’s bidding. When the left felt threatened by Trump, conversations about Covid-19 origins and treatments, election integrity, Hunter Biden’s laptop, or the truth about biological sex, Big Tech companies such as Twitter gladly banned, censored, and “fact-checked” any content it deemed “misinformation.”

The only thing that disrupts this cycle is when the uncensored, unmanipulated truth about the media’s depravity is exposed. As it stands right now, any narratives that contradict the thought control regime’s wishes are obliterated from the internet.

The mask has completely slipped off the political left thanks to Elon Musk’s battle to purchase Twitter.  As Michelle Malkin so famously said “sunlight is the best disinfectant.”

Report from Louisiana: Dispatch from the Facebook Hoosgow

By:  Pat Austin

SHREVEPORT – My husband has made it a whole week without getting tossed into the Facebook hoosgow.

He never wanted to be on the social media platform at all, but years ago, when Facebook was still sort of fun, I made an account for him so he could keep up with friends and family “back home.” He loved it at first because he was connecting with old classmates and distant family members. He joined the Facebook group for his tiny, rural hometown, and they shared old photos and memories. It was all so harmless.

Then politics reared its ugly head and Facebook became the liberal, curated, censored wasteland that it is today. He is adamantly outspoken and incapable of holding back his opinions when it comes to liberal policies and corrupt politics.

And so he has of late been spending time in the Facebook Prison. The first time it was only 24-hours and supervised probation upon his release. He gleefully celebrated his release with yet another post about “Chillary Hinton” and a “chewicide” hotline, in an attempt to get around the evil censors, and he got three days in solitary. Again, supervised probation upon release but a much longer period.

He is unrepentant. He is incensed about gasoline prices, as are we all, and freely sharing his thoughts on the policies of the current administration regarding drilling and energy. He refuses to be silenced and the more the censors threaten him and try to hold him down, he is more and more vocal.

It’s hard not to respect that!

I suggested he give up social media for Lent, even though we aren’t Catholic. He’s a much happier person when he isn’t scrolling through pictures of rising gas prices, pictures of empty grocery shelves, and posts about politics.

It’s only a matter of time until they catch up with him again. His last three posts included accusing MSNBC pundits of taking hallucinogens, a photo of the White House Press Secretary as Pinocchio, and a meme about the Vice-President that said, “…if you gave her a penny for her thoughts, you’ll get change back.”

They’ll get him for those.

Meanwhile, I’ll just be over here minding my own business and posting pictures of my lunch. It’s much safer.
