  • Judge Clears Path for Fresh Evidence in Explosive Social Media Censorship Lawsuit Against Biden Administration [Missouri v. Biden]

    The Western District of Louisiana’s US District Court has ruled in favor of the State of Missouri, allowing additional discovery in the significant Missouri v. Biden lawsuit, which scrutinizes government collaboration in social media censorship. This decision comes after the Supreme Court, in June, overturned a prior injunction, then-named Murthy v. Missouri, which had prohibited entities including the White House, CDC, FBI, CISA, and the Surgeon General’s office from pressing social media platforms to suppress speech protected under the Constitution. [link to Court's Order] [snip] The depth of the Biden Administration’s involvement in these censorial activities likely would have remained...

    Gates of Vienna ^ | 31 Oct, 2024 | Baron Bodissey
    Below is an election campaign video (AI-generated) that was released by the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, Alternative for Germany) last month for the recent elections. The government is now trying to prosecute the AfD for using it. Many thanks to Schwabe for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for the subtitling: [AfD campaign ad with English subtitles at link] The following excerpt (also translated by Schwabe) about the government’s actions is from an article posted by the Austrian portal Freilich Magazin: The [government] media institute [MABB] asserts that the concept of “impairment” includes disturbances and damage to...

    The left loves it when professional athletes get political — as long as they do it for the right candidate. On Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers held on for a 30-24 victory over the Dallas Cowboys at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. During post-game interviews on the field with NBC’s Melissa Stark, defensive end Nick Bosa took the opportunity to display a quick non-verbal message to fans as he appeared and pointed to his white and gold MAGA hat before walking away. The intent was clear as Bosa wanted fans to know which candidate he was supporting in next...

    Justin Trudeau is creating a new arm of the state with sweeping powers aimed at criminalising opinions deemed ‘unacceptable’ by progressives. (skip) Anyone in Canada can seemingly snitch to this Commission, about any online content whatsoever – indeed, it encourages them to – and many will be more than happy to oblige.The Commission also has the power of a superior court of record, and can act in that manner. However, the members of the Commission are not defined with regard to the necessity of any professional competence (such as legal training). Worse: it says explicitly in the bill that their...
  • Has J. Edgar Hoover’s Spy Program Been Resurrected?

    Although the legacy media has buried the story, it turns out that over the last several years the Federal Bureau of Investigation has resurrected a hated and unconstitutional spying program once directed by the late FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. His program, called the COINTELPRO program, targeted Americans who committed no crime, but simply sought to express their political views. Former President Richard Nixon directed Hoover to aggressively infiltrate and disrupt many political movements in the late ‘60’s and ‘70’s. This included the Vietnam War activists, the Rev. Martin Luther King and other civil rights leaders. They even spied on...

    Few in the media seemed eager to attend a ceremony last week in Washington, D.C., where the prestigious American Academy of Sciences and Letters was awarding its top intellectual freedom award. The problem may have been the recipient: Stanford Professor Dr. Jay Bhattacharya. Bhattacharya has spent years being vilified by the media over his dissenting views on the pandemic. As one of the signatories of the 2020 Great Barrington Declaration, he was canceled, censored, and even received death threats. That open letter called on government officials and public health authorities to rethink the mandatory lockdowns and other extreme measures in...

    On November 17, 2023, Democrat New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed into law the Plain Language bill —a bill that allows a summary of a proposed amendment be put on the ballot instead of the full amendment. Also, the summary must be written at an eighth grade reading level or lower. This election will be the first to implement the summary rule. New York voters will be asked to vote “Yes” or “No” on Proposal Number One — but only the summary of Part A will be printed on the ballot. If the voter has been paying only casual attention,...

    The Media Research Center (MRC) seeks to uphold the original vision of Free Speech Week, and nothing encapsulates those efforts more than the free speech advocates MRC has honored this year. Free Speech Week was founded in 2005 by The Media Institute and the National Association of Broadcasters “to raise public awareness of the importance of free speech in our democracy – and to celebrate that freedom.” The freedom of speech is a fundamental American liberty, one that transcends political differences. According to the official website, the event, “is designed as a unifying celebration, elevating the vision of the Founding...

    This ties in directly with the post immediately below about the Democrats’ attempt to punish McDonalds, because a McDonalds restaurant allowed Donald Trump to do a campaign stop there. Elon Musk has emerged as our most important champion of free speech, a concept that is anathema to the Democratic Party. Not only that, he has actually endorsed Donald Trump for president, and has brought his considerable skills and resources to bear on Trump’s behalf. That, obviously, cannot be permitted. So Musk’s companies have come under comprehensive fire from many government agencies: Stephen Pimentel @StephenPiment The lawfare against @elonmusk, as gleefully...

    The Global Assault on Religious FreedomAspiring tyrants are now brazen in their crusade against free speech. John Kerry, Tim Walz, Hillary Clinton, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Kentanji Brown Jackson, Letitia James, and their allies in academia and the media have been unequivocal in their calls to usurp the protections of the First Amendment. These threats are not hypothetical. The West has weaponized the judicial system to punish Steve Bannon, Julian Assange, Mark Steyn, Douglass Mackey, VDARE, Roger Ver, Pavel Durov, and others for their disobedience to the Washington establishment. But beyond these political persecutions, a more insidious – and far less...

    Vice President Kamala Harris is shamelessly trying to run away from her 'Border Czar' responsibilities, often with the assistance of a compliant 'news' media, but that wasn't the only major job with which she's been tasked in the Biden-Harris administration. The president also tapped her to help lead and oversee a number of expensive 'green' and infrastructure initiatives. On a costly plan to install new electric vehicle chargers (Harris is suddenly pretending she has nothing to do with EV mandates she has supported and co-sponsored), Politico described its 'progress' in late 2023: "Congress at the urging of the Biden administration...

    New Zealand has demonstrated why no free people should ever tolerate any form of gun registry.Those against registries always claim that this is one step from confiscation.New Zealand has proven that this is true with a current round of 62 gun licenses revoked for improper beliefs, which then require surrendering the firearms to the state.According to Waikatotimes NZ, New Zealand authorities conducted “Operation Belfast” in 2022 to “identify risks to law enforcement.”They focused on identifying members of a group called SovCits, a condensate of Sovereign Citizens.This group is alleged to believe that the federal government is illegitimate.

    Sex, sexual ambiguity, race, incompetence, war mongering and foreign interventions. While those are familiar issues in 2024, they’re merely echoes of earlier times… like the election of 1800! The presidential campaign of 1800 was the sequel to the first truly contested American presidential election in 1796 and featured the same two primary players. John Adams won and Thomas Jefferson lost and became vice president – the only time in history that’s happened. Although friends, the men became viscous rivals – although never actually campaigning themselves – and the campaigns were as brutal as any seen in modern times. With the...

    CV NEWS FEED // A group of Wyoming pro-life advocates recently contended at their local city council that they are the ones who experienced harassment, not the clinic escorts and patients, when they were praying and offering pro-life alternatives outside of a local abortion facility. Eighteen or more pro-lifers shared at the Casper City Council on October 15 about the situation related to the Wellsprings Health Access Clinic, which performs abortions, according to Oil City News. According to Cowboy State Daily, Casper Council member Brandy Haskins had said at a Council meeting the week before that a Wellsprings employee and...

    A watchdog group is demanding answers following a U.S. Army training that labeled pro-life organizations as "terrorist groups,” citing people who counsel women outside abortion facilities or display Choose Life license plates on their cars as potential threats. Judicial Watch, a conservative foundation that seeks accountability in government, filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Defense in the District Court for the District of Columbia last week. The foundation says it filed the lawsuit after failing to receive a response to an Aug. 13 request. The suit is in response to a briefing titled...
