Democrats desperate to censor anyone that disagrees with them
nypost ^ | 11/1/2022 | James bovard

Federal agencies are censoring what you see online to protect America’s “cognitive infrastructure.”

A report Monday from the left-wing Intercept revealed shocking details on how the FBI and Department of Homeland Security secretly affected the 2020 election and are rapidly expanding their suppression of dissent.

In the spring, DHS revealed that it had a Disinformation Governance Board, headed by a wacky zealot named Nina Jankowicz. The New York Post led the charge against that “Ministry of Truth,” and many people believed the peril ended when that board was dissolved. But far more insidious federal censorship efforts are proliferating.

The FBI, DHS, Secret Service and even Customs and Border Protection are elbowing social-media companies like Facebook and Twitter to engage in “censorship by surrogate,” as law professor Jonathan Turley observed.

As the covert war against “misinformation” expands, the list of federally prohibited online thoughts is snowballing. DHS is targeting “inaccurate information on ‘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,’ ” The Intercept reported.

Are federal censors still seeking to enforce President Biden’s delusion that COVID vaccines prevent transmission? Are they continuing to suppress any information about COVID originating in a Wuhan lab? Is any criticism of Biden’s botched Afghan withdrawal considered heresy? In many cases, DHS notified Facebook and Twitter to suppress parody accounts — perhaps because nothing is more subversive than laughing at politicians.

No different than many republicans attacking other republicans. I counted at least a dozen republican senators called RINO’s. So why did every republican senator voted against Biden’s inflation boondoggle bill? While every democrat voted for it.

AnyTHING is a 'THAT'.

AnyONE is a 'WHO'..

Therefore, title should read "..anyone WHO disagrees with them"

Sheesh!

This article suggesting/calling for ‘pandemic amnesty’ REALLY pi$$ed me off. Evidently, it had the same effect on some other folks as well. The answer about amnesty Emily is NO ... H.E.Double Hockey Sticks NO. Here are links to pieces I’ve seen on Emily’s ‘amnesty’ piece. Randy Weingarten, head of the teacher’s union thinks amnesty is a good idea, too - the criminals are starting to ‘run scared’ all of a sudden.

Yep. I thought the same thing when I read the headline.

Proving our ‘elites’ truly do hear us.
They just disapprove of the words we choose to use.

Off you duffs ladies and gents. WE OWN YOU, not the
other way around. The time for reckoning is upon us.
