Reflecting New U.S. Control of TikTok's Censorship, Our Report Criticizing Zelensky Was Deleted
For years, U.S. officials and their media allies accused Russia, China and Iran of tyranny for demanding censorship as a condition for Big Tech access. Now, the U.S. is doing the same to TikTok.

Appeals Court: MAGA Hat Is Free Speech
Independent journalist Matt Taibbi has warned that he believes the federal government is trying to censor most Big Tech companies, including Facebook and Google.
Taibbi is one of the journalists tasked by Elon Musk to expose social media censorship by detailing his findings in several installments of the “Twitter Files.”
After taking over the company in late October, Musk has given a handful of reporters exclusive access to Twitter’s internal communications files.
The files have revealed a disturbing culture of censorship that has seen American citizens, mostly conservatives, shut down and silenced on Twitter over their political views.
In a direct violation of the First Amendment, the files show that Twitter executives had been colluding with federal government officials to suppress free speech on the platform.
However, Taibbi has warned that his findings show that the government’s censorship efforts are not just limited to Twitter.
Speaking during a new interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Taibbi says the “Twitter Files” reveal that the government was also trying to sway speech on other platforms like Facebook and Google.
“In relative terms, Twitter is a smaller player,” Carlson said to Taibbi.
“You have Facebook and Google that dwarf it in size.
“We’ve got to assume that those two companies are as penetrated as Twitter has been, don’t we?”
The Steady and Alarming Extension of Federal Power Against US Citizens Since 2002
When did the White House get in the business of censoring US citizens?
Peter A. McCullough
... It’s not the executive himself, but the career administrators—the denizens of the “Deep State”—who call the shots. If the executive is a relatively young, vigorous, free-thinking individual, he may find himself coming into conflict with these administrators, particularly if they have held their offices and amassed influence over a long period of time. If, on the other hand, the executive is intellectually weak or perhaps old and frail, his occupation of the office may give the administrators free rein to do as they please for themselves and their friends.
This scenario came to mind this morning when I saw an Epoch Times report on how the White House has sent E-mails to social media companies such as Facebook and Twitter, directing them to censor prominent public speakers such as Tucker Carlson and Robert F, Kennedy, Jr. There was a time not so long ago when a White House censorship program against U.S. citizens would have seemed unthinkable. How did the Executive Branch obtain power to censor U.S. citizens? Did Congress pass a law in violation of the First Amendment, authorizing the executive to abridge the freedom of speech? ...
In response to my post last Friday—Is the USA No Longer a Constitutional Republic?—our colleague and legal scholar par excellence, Katharine Watt at the Bailiwick News Substack, sent me the following drum roll of laws passed by Congress and the President, expanding the power of the federal government to do whatever it pleases under the guise of protecting us. ...
In other words, if you question the state’s “emergency powers” and its actions to quell purported emergencies, it seems you will find little refuge in the United States Constitution. The broad powers amassed by the federal government since 2002 have apparently enabled the state to deem you a “misinformation spreader” or “domestic terrorist” and censor and even detain you.
Former Top CIA Analyst Condemns FBI For Censorship & Misinformation
"Joe McCarthy would have loved to have that kind of control," says Martin Gurri, author of the seminal 2018 book, "The Revolt of Public," about government influence over Twitter. ...
The Internet in general, and social media in particular, argues Gurri, mean that the elites can no longer control the public conversation as they once could. They struggle to “manufacture consent.” Anybody can start a Substack or Twitter account, and anybody can go viral. That technological revolution is resulting in political revolutions. ...
I come from Cuba. When did it happen that protecting democracy entails Chinese methods of handling information? What happens in China is what happens here. Somewhere a party hack comes to you and says, “That’s not the word to use,” or “The party doesn’t want that opinion.” And Twitter became an instrument of control for the state and the party in power.
I’ll try to put it in a bigger context. What you’re seeing is a reaction to the revolt of the public. This is the elites saying we want to return the information sphere to the front page of the New York Times to circa 1975. And that’s where it gets weird. You use moral shaming with BLM. You use medical panic with covid. And, last of all, you bully people. The FBI comes at you and says, “Can you take this down? And what about this and that and the other thing?”
Pfizer Pressured Twitter to Censor Natural Immunity Information

Released Emails Reveal Pfizer Board Member Pressured Twitter to Censor Vaccine Criticism
In May 2021, emails revealed that Scott Gottlieb, a Pfizer board director and former Food and Drug Administration (FDA) commissioner, had sought help from the social media platform Twitter to censor vaccine related tweets. This was seen as an attempt to manipulate public opinion around vaccines, which has raised concerns about pharmaceutical companies’ influence on the internet.

Ernest Ramirez says he wanted to do the right thing for his son, so he decided to have 16-year-old Ernesto take the COVID-19 vaccine.
After all, what was the harm? Ramirez was told the vaccine was 100 percent safe.
Five days later, on April 24, 2021, his son died from complications related to an enlarged heart, Ramirez told LifeSiteNews.
Soon after his son’s death, Ramirez says, he received a call from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. According to him, agency officials asked him to change the cause of death for his son to “COVID.”
Ramirez says they offered to help him financially in exchange for doing so. ...
“Seven months later, after FEMA contacted me and asked me to change the cause of death [of] my son to COVID so that they could help me financially, I told them I would never do that,” he said at the rally.
“I would definitely never disrespect my son in that way.”
FEMA’s website says the agency provides as much as $9,000 toward funeral expenses in cases where “death was attributed to COVID-19.

Ernest Ramirez on How FEMA Tried to Coerce Him to Change the Cause of Death for His Son After He Died From the Pfizer Vaccine
if you don't like the data, stop reporting it? ONS edition
there has been a worrying trend of data series being eliminated by health agencies when they trend against covid vaccines. it's time we demanded to know why. ...
this same trend has been much in evidence from canada and australia to the CDC who infamously stopped reporting all manner of all causes deaths for months on end to do “system maintenance” in the middle of a declared emergency. what they brought back online raised more questions than it answered.
most agencies will not even report all cause mortality by vaccine status at all, much less in a format that allows you to measure it from jab one and not from “last jab +14 or +21” which can be so badly misleading.
it’s honestly incredibly jarring when you actually step back and see the totality:
during the most allegedly dangerous pandemic in decades in which countless rushed and high-cost “mitigations” from lockdowns to distancing to travel bans to masking and warped speed vaccines with never before approved in humans methods of action, the agencies who have the information needed to assess the efficacy of these interventions have been systematically suppressing and slanting the data.
It’s interesting to consider that the CDC was founded in 1946 as an outgrowth of a malaria eradication programme, and that it took less than three generations for it to metastasise from those small beginnings into the hypervaccinating mass-containing thought-policing pharmaceutical scam-promoting multidimensionally tentacled tumorous vampire squid that it is today. With every crisis, every crusade and every bad flu season, it’s gotten just a little bigger, a little more comprehensive, down to the present moment, in which it’s soliciting an algorithm that will identify opinions it doesn’t like, in advance of anyone even having heard of them.
Canada’s government has launched a major taxpayer-funded effort to censor the Canadian people online, arguing that “disinformation” is threatening the nation’s “democracy.”
The Canadian government is pumping millions of tax dollars into “research projects” that claim to “combat online disinformation.”
A total of 16 such schemes will receive a whopping $1.2 million of taxpayer money each.
In an announcement about the move, the federal government’s Department of Canadian Heritage justified the effort by insisting that censoring the public online is “essential” to “preserve democracy.”
Facebook Gave CDC De Facto Access to Censor ‘Misinformation’
The big question: Was the federal government involved in this restriction of freedom of expression in Germany?
Now it comes out: There was a secret corona summit between the federal government and US corporations, which had the fight against allegedly false information on the agenda.
Facebook censorship caused mass death.

The “Hamilton 68” dashboard was a high level scam to falsely accuse Russian influence behind everything. Their entire opaque system was a fraud, and virtually every media outlet fell for it. Everyone from NYT to Mother Jones should post a correction:

It's coming, and it will encapsulate the Social Justice Revolution as part of American Canon, so to criticize it will be subject to censorship.
