Federal agencies used the pretext of foreign interference in the 2020 election to surveil and suppress domestic news.
merica’s speech police are reassembling to once again influence our elections. At the same time the security state is creating potential pretexts for renewed censorship by issuing warnings of cyberattacks that could “hinder public access to election information,” they are also reprising old claims of coming Russian election interference on behalf of Donald Trump.
The little-noticed development comes in a report from the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) on the DOJ’s efforts to “Coordinate Information Sharing About Foreign Malign Influence Threats to U.S. Elections” — a euphemism for the chief law enforcement agency’s prior censorship activities.
During the 2020 election, as revealed in litigation, congressional oversight, and reporting, national security and law enforcement agencies used the threat of foreign misinformation and disinformation on social media to U.S. elections as a pretext to surveil and suppress domestic news and opinions deemed derogatory to our ruling regime.
An alphabet soup of agencies coerced, cajoled, and colluded directly and via cutouts with social media companies to get those companies to squash all manner of wrongthink on election integrity and outcomes at mass scale.
While the OIG explicitly omitted the “FBI’s information sharing with social media companies with respect to domestic actors” from its report, the DOJ’s response to the office’s recommendations will likely have substantial bearing on Americans’ speech.
That response, appended to the report, comes in the form of a DOJ memo revealing that the law enforcement agency has now codified its protocols for reporting purported “foreign malign influence” information with social media companies, and is redoubling its efforts to do so in the run-up to the 2024 election.
In fact, the FBI has been implementing new Standard Operating Procedures since February.
Under those procedures, the FBI is required to identify “specific, credible, and articulable facts that provide high confidence for assessing that the information at issue relates to activity attributable to a foreign government, foreign non-state actor, or their proxy engaged in an FMI [foreign malign influence] operation.”
The Bureau is also required to include a disclaimer — akin to one authorities often included in censorship requests from 2020 — explaining it “does not request or expect” recipients to take any specific action based on shared information......
The deep state has not been cleaned at all. It has only been reinforced.
Including an assassination attempt.
Stop it
By their election interference, the federal and state apparatchiks are giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States. These apparatchiks need to be tried, convicted, and sentenced for their crimes, and the sentence should be carried out in public.
BTTT
The biggest issue in this campaign should be the fact that Kamala Harris knew about and covered up FOR FOUR YEARS the mental incapacity of the President of the United States. That is arguably the greatest scandal in the history of the Presidency as it had to involve nearly everyone in the Federal Government who had an interaction with Biden, everyone in the media who ever interviewed Biden, as well as the current Democrat candidate who is receiving the same protectionist treatment.
WHY IS THIS SCANDAL NOT BEING ADDRESSED???
Bttt.

You are right. It’s deeper.
Sometime in 2025 Red States will be openly discussing leaving the Union.
I bet it will not be the last one.
The only way to stop what is going on is to remove Democrats and RINOS from power.
.
Notice the Republicans deafening silence on election fraud?
Kudos——deserves a repeat.

Look what happened last time states tried to exit the union
Dear FBI: here is election information that I wish to share.
1. Kamala Harris was assigned the role commonly identified as ‘Border Czar’ by Joe Biden.
2. Kamala Harris is not a Natural Born Citizen of the United States, as the centuries-old historic use of the term defines it. That renders her ineligible for both the office she holds and the one she aspires to hold.
3. Kamala Harris is almost certainly the most radical leftist candidate to ever run for President... certainly from among Democrat party representatives.
3a. If he were running for President instead of Vice President, Tim Walz might very well take that distinction.
4. Kamala Harris is not Israel’s friend, and probably not Taiwan’s, either.
5. When Democrat voters last had a choice (the 2020 primary season), Kamala Harris finished dead last and was the first Presidential candidate to exit the race once the primaries started.
6. Kamala Harris is only a national figure now because she chose to service SF mayor Willie Brown.
7. Kamala Harris is not an African-American.
That’s enough for now. Have at it, agents.
Yes, it did, making the target of such attacks that much more important.

We're not leaving. Let's just throw the communists out of the Union.
When Republicans get elected they seem to morph into RINOs or democRATs very quickly. Like a switch was flipped. I often wonder if the FBI is blackmailing everyone.
