I have been raising the alarm about Kamala Harris & who she really is for years. Amazon banned my book on July 22nd, 2024 after it had been for sale since 2020.

For free speech advocates, there are few images more chilling than that of Nina Jankowicz singing her now-infamous tune as “the Mary Poppins of Disinformation.” The woman who would become known as the “Disinformation Czar” sang a cheerful TikTok parody of “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” to rally people to the cause of censorship. When the press caught wind of President Biden’s plan to appoint Jankowicz as head of the Department of Homeland Security’s new “disinformation board,” Fox News said she “intended to censor Americans’ speech.” The backlash was swift. Plans for the board were suspended, and Jankowicz resigned in 2022. She then sued...

Free speech is an absolute right. Anyone should be able to say any opinion they hold regardless of how distasteful, offensive, scary, obscene, etc... However, you are also responsible for the speech. If were to say, "I hate redheads.", that may be offensive to some but it is my opinion and should be legal. Same thing if I was talking about blacks, jews, muslims, etc.... If I were to say, "I wish all redheads would die."... same scenario. If I were to say, "I wish someone would kill that particular redhead." That MAY still be legal. However, if someone were...

I have been waiting for quite a while to see the war between Elon Musk and the European Union break out into the open. Ever since Elon bought Twitter the Establishment has been panicked by their loss of control over the Narrative™, and they have been making noises about pushing Twitter/X out of Europe or imposing fines if Musk doesn't shut down free speech on his platform. The Elite have been waging an open financial war on the platform, driving advertisers away and trying (and failing) to come up with competitors that will drive Twitter/X out of the market. The...

AHouse Judiciary Committee has released a report showing that a cartel of woke advertisers and brands have worked together to demonetize content disfavored by the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM). Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-OH) committee has published an interim staff report titled, “”GARM’s Harm: How the World’s Biggest Brands Seek to Control Online Speech.” Formed by the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA) in 2019, GARM was ostensibly created to help its members achieve what it calls “brand safety.” But the House Judiciary Committee has found that members of the alliance participated in boycotts and other coordinated action to demonetize...

Can the Deep State shut down Steve Bannon? It doesn’t seem that way. Around the turn of the second century, St. Ignatius, bishop of Antioch, was condemned by a Roman tribunal to be torn apart and eaten by lions in the Coliseum. What was his crime? Ignatius was condemned because his speech was subversive to the Roman social order. Having a public audience worsened his exercise of free speech; speaking freely in front of an assembled mob was the real crime. But Ignatius’s death sentence didn’t chill his speech. He managed to preach in dozens of venues along the route...

The House Judiciary Committee released a damning report Wednesday morning with shocking details of corporate collusion to silence conservative viewpoints through targeting Breitbart News, Joe Rogan, and Twitter (now X) among others.The committee released its report just hours before hearing testimony from Herrish Patel, President of Unilever USA, and Christian Juhl, Global Chief Executive Officer of GroupM. Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) alleges those companies, as members of the Global Alliance for Responsible Media’s (GARM) Steer Team, may have violated antitrust laws in their efforts to deprive conservative media outlets and personalities as well as companies daring to platform conservative viewpoints...

The leader of the World Federation of Advertisers' Global Alliance for Responsible Media falsely claimed it did not direct its members to blacklist Twitter after Elon Musk purchased the platform, since renamed X, according to a House Judiciary Committee GOP interim staff report. Rob Rakowitz's claim during his transcribed interview with the committee is contradicted by a GARM member's documentation of "discussions about the boycott, noting that the company had pulled advertisements from Twitter based on GARM's recommendations," a committee press release Monday says. The report documents how GARM "participated in boycotts and coordinated action to demonetize platforms, podcasts, news...

The Digital Services Act (DSA), which went into effect at the start of 2024, is the European Union’s flagship online censorship law. Other than China’s Great Firewall, it is arguably the most elaborate and wide-reaching instrument of government control of online content in the world. (snip) Informational threats to “public security and electoral processes” are also a tried-and-true pretext for censoring political opposition. Indeed, “election integrity” was the main pretext used by U.S. government-tied groups to censor American political speech during the 2020 election.To ensure compliance, the DSA establishes an official censorship bureaucracy that stretches across the EU, consisting of...

You are never, ever the good guy if you are for suffocating speech. Ever. In order for what follows to make sense, we all need to stipulate this point. Especially when you are being told to reject the evidence of your own eyes and ears and believe the lies you are being told. History has proven it true: if the people in power want to censor, punish, limit speech, they are always the bad guys. Always. There are simply no exceptions to this rule. In the 2,000 years of man being upright and organized into groups with a leader, however...

Google is up to its regular election tricks, according to the Media Research Center. An MRC investigation found that when searching for a candidates name with “presidential race 2024,” Joe Biden’s campaign website is the top result, while Donald Trump’s campaign website doesn’t appear on the first page. The MRC reports that as the 2024 presidential race heats up, concerns are growing about the role of technology giants in shaping public opinion and access to information. A recent investigation MRC has uncovered what they claim to be evidence of bias in Google’s search results, potentially impacting the visibility of presidential...

META-owned Instagram changed all of its users’ default settings to limit political content just in time for Thursday’s presidential debate between former president Donald Trump and President Joe Biden. The news comes after big tech and CNN began colluding to censor conservative websites and social media channels.

CNN demonstrated how they will mute the microphones during Thursday night’s debate. The microphones will be muted except when it is the candidate’s ‘turn’ to speak. Of course, they will likely only use this feature to mute Trump. ..... Snip..... The debate will be hosted by Trump haters Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. The debate is rigged. According to CNN: The ‘high tech’ microphones have green lights which will tell Biden and Trump whether their mic is on or not. If the light is off but the candidate tries to talk, the sound of their voice won’t make it to...

The Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling in Murthy v. Missouri dropped Wednesday, shattering the hopes of conservatives that maybe, just maybe, the Judicial Branch would stand up for the First Amendment rights of ordinary Americans against the egregious abuses of the executive bureaucracy. But no. The Court instead ruled that the plaintiffs lacked standing because the Biden White House allegedly backed off of its censorship campaign after the 2022 midterms (it didn’t). The ruling essentially allows the federal government to continue trampling on the First Amendment rights of ordinary Americans by deputizing social media companies to do what federal agencies cannot...

SCOTUS Green-Lights Feds’ Big Tech Censorship Scheme Ahead Of 2024 Election‘We therefore reverse the judgment of the Fifth Circuit and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.’The U.S. Supreme Court reversed a lower court’s injunction prohibiting the federal government from colluding with Big Tech companies to censor posts it doesn’t like, effectively green-lighting the Biden administration’s ability to carry out such operations during the 2024 election. “To establish standing, the plaintiffs must demonstrate a substantial risk that, in the near future, they will suffer an injury that is traceable to a Government defendant and redressable by the...

The Supreme Court struck down a lower court’s injunction preventing the federal government from pressuring Big Tech companies to suppress free speech in a pivotal ruling Wednesday. The court did not rule on the question of whether the government may pressure social media companies to suppress speech in a way that would be illegal for the government to do itself. Instead, the court ruled that the plaintiffs failed to establish Article III standing to bring the case. “We begin—and end—with standing,” Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote in the majority opinion for Murthy v. Missouri. “At this stage, neither the individual...

CNN is attempting to silence independent media and control the narrative surrounding the first 2024 Presidential debate on Thursday by not allowing the use of CNN’s live broadcast to report and comment on the debate in real time. This revelation comes after CNN’s Kasie Hunt abruptly cut off Trump’s spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, after she brought up Jake Tapper’s history of comparing Trump to Hitler and told people to “Google ‘Jake Tapper Donald Trump.'” It’s not enough to turn off President Trump’s microphone or to cut off spokespersons in interviews. Jesse Watters compared this move to slapping a gag order on...

With polling consistently suggesting most Americans fear for the future of democracy depending on the winner of the 2024 presidential election, and that democracy tops concerns for single-issue voters, internal meeting notes from a Department of Homeland Security panel suggest the Biden administration fears the wrong kind of democracy. America First Legal, founded by former Trump White House adviser Stephen Miller, is dribbling out redacted "#DeepStateDiaries" handed over by DHS to resolve AFL's litigation alleging that last year's creation of the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group, also disbanded under the settlement, violated the Federal Advisory Committee Act because of its heavy...

British journalist and renowned free speech activist Tommy Robinson was arrested in Calgary, Canada, shortly after delivering a powerful speech that criticized censorship and government overreach. (snip) His speech, which received a standing ovation from the audience, was abruptly followed by his arrest. Ten police officers, including both uniformed and undercover personnel, swarmed Robinson after he exited the venue, placed him in an SUV, and drove him away. (snip) Levant continued, expressing confusion and concern about the sudden arrest. “We asked what the charge was. We asked where he was being taken to. The police refused to give us answers.”Levant...

A previously censored paper from The Lancet has now undergone peer review and is available online. The study, titled “A Systematic Review of Autopsy Findings in Deaths After COVID-19 Vaccination,” analyzed 325 autopsy cases and found that a staggering 73.9% of deaths were either directly due to or significantly contributed to by the COVID-19 vaccination. The paper’s lead author, Dr. Nicolas Hulscher, faced significant opposition in bringing these findings to light. After initially being downloaded over 100,000 times, The Lancet removed the paper within 24 hours, according to Dr. William Makis. According to The Daily Sceptic, the reason given at...
