House Republicans Shine A Light On The Feds’ Egregious Censorship-Industrial Complex

Published

on

The federal government’s censorship-industrial complex is an existential threat to Americans’ First Amendment rights, several witnesses testified during a House subcommittee hearing on Wednesday.

The federal government “not just participated, but led this creation of … a mass flagging and censorship operation that was coordinated with a broader effort to pressure [Big Tech] platforms to do more censorship,” independent reporter Michael Shellenberger said.

Titled “Censorship Laundering Part II: Preventing the Department of Homeland Security’s Silencing of Dissent,” Wednesday’s hearing before the Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability analyzed federal agencies’ extensive efforts to collude with Big Tech platforms to silence Americans online for questioning claims made by the government. During his opening statement, subcommittee chair Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., underscored the role of the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), a subagency within the Department of Homeland Security, in coordinating this censorship operation.

“What is stopping DHS from overreaching its jurisdiction beyond elections to censor more Americans to ‘protect’ whatever government-deployed orthodox notions it deems ‘critical infrastructure’?” Bishop asked. “The answer is: nothing.”

Often called the “nerve center” of the federal government’s censorship complex, CISA facilitates meetings “between Big Tech companies, and national security and law enforcement agencies to address ‘mis-, dis-, and mal-information’ on social media platforms.” Ahead of the 2020 election, for example, the agency upped its censorship efforts by flagging posts for Big Tech companies it claimed were worthy of being censored, some of which called into question the security of voting practices such as mass, unsupervised

SCOTUS Threats Suggest Democrats’ Attacks On The Court Encourage Politically Motivated Terrorism

Published

on

A 76-year-old Alaskan man is in custody after he allegedly threatened to assault, kidnap, lynch, torture, murder, and assassinate six of the nine Supreme Court justices. The names of the justices targeted, however, were withheld by the Department of Justice — likely because they confirm Democrats’ incendiary rhetoric against the conservative members of the court is working.

The DOJ announced on Thursday that Panos Anastasiou faces nine counts of making threats against a federal judge and 13 counts of making threats in interstate commerce after he sent more than 465 messages pledging harm against justices via “a public website the court maintained.”

Attorney General Merrick Garland acknowledged in the Thursday press release that the communications were rooted in Anastasiou’s desire to “retaliate against them for decisions he disagreed with.” Yet, neither he nor the Department of Justice memo announcing the arrest identified exactly which of the nine SCOTUS members and their family members were terrorized.

In fact, the DOJ went out of its way in its 11-page September 18 indictment of Anastasiou to disguise which high bench presiders were in danger for upholding their constitutional duties by reducing the justices to numbers “1-6.” Six of the nine sitting SCOTUS justices were nominated to the high bench by Republican presidents.

The document accusing the Alaskan of several felonies, however, shows Anastasiou’s threats were well timed not only with a Democrat-manufactured ethics scandal, but also decisions secured specifically by the court’s conservative majority.

In May, as corporate media ramped up Democrat-manufactured

NFL Get-Out-The-Vote Initiative Partners With Democrat Activist Groups

Published

on

Are you ready for some football?! How about some leftist-led get-out-the-vote (GOTV) games? 

Well, you get both with the NFL Votes campaign. 

The all-powerful National Football League says the “League-wide, nonpartisan initiative supports and encourages civic engagement among NFL players, and legends, club and league personnel, and fans.” Launched in 2020 as a joint effort between the NFL and NFL Players Association, NFL Votes “focuses on three key components of the electoral process: voter education, voter registration, and voter activation,” according to the league’s website.

Sounds noble enough.

But if you’re scoring along at home, the NFL’s teammates include some of the most left-wing activist organizations on the election field today. Starting on the campaign’s roster is Rock the Vote, Voto Latino, and I am a voter

Rock the Leftists

Rock the Vote has been around since 1990, when music executives partnered with MTV and celebrities on the “Censorship is Un-American” campaign after foul-mouthed rap acts such as N.W.A and 2 Live Crew brought out an indignant wave of speech silencers.

It was a simpler time, when MTV actually played music videos. 

Thrilled by its accomplishment of activating “millions of young people” to turn out to the polls, the leftist nonprofit has parlayed its GOTV successes into a multitude of leftist causes over its 30-plus years in operation — even as targeting the young adult vote remained central to its efforts.

“The group claims to be nonpartisan, but has produced videos throughout the years using celebrities who largely endorse a

Oprah’s Prime-Time Special With Kamala Harris Was A Shameless Tongue Bath

Published

on

Oprah Winfrey’s glitzy hour-long special with Vice President Kamala Harris Thursday night was not a feature of a serious presidential campaign, but instead a celebrity-obsessed public relations program intended to win what’s become a popularity contest.

If anyone tuned in to hear a few substantive questions about why Harris has changed so many of her policy positions, it should have been obvious what to expect by Oprah’s first question.

“Can you feel the joy rising in here?” she asks after screaming Harris’ name.

“Kamala Harris!!!!!!!!!!” Oprah to Momala: “Can you feel the joy rising in here?” Harris: “I can!” Unite for America Rally with Vice President Kamala Harris and Oprah Winfrey. pic.twitter.com/TbKeRfOAV3

The virtual rally in Michigan marked one of Harris’ few media appearances since she became the nominee. She had only previously done one joint interview with her running mate on CNN, one brief 10-minute interview on a Pennsylvania television station, and one daytime forum with journalists at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ).

On CNN, Harris barely got pushed on anything; in Pennsylvania, she barely got asked anything; and at the NABJ conference in Philadelphia, she was merely warmed up for the town hall about girl power with Winfrey. Her first question at the NABJ summit was also about how “joy” makes Harris feel all sweet, cute, and cuddly inside.

“Why is joy important to you to insert into this election?” was literally the first thing moderators
