THIS is huge. It is a massive violation of our first amendment rights. Every one involved should be brought up on treasonous charges. You don’t get to blow up the Constitution and win.

America is over if this stands.

I am but one person with – at that time millions of followers on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest and they completely shut me down. Disappeared me. And they did this to everyone who opposed the party of treason.

How is this not the biggest story on the planet?

  • Though DHS shuttered its controversial Disinformation Governance Board, a strategic document reveals the underlying work is ongoing.

  • DHS plans to target 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.”

  • Facebook created a special portal for DHS and government partners to report disinformation directly.

The FBI forced censorship (which social media companies happily complied with) on any conversations surrounding lockdowns, vaccine mandates, Hunter’s laptop, elections, Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, and anything else that made the Democrats look bad. https://t.co/DUZgxRarcp

Leaked Documents Outline DHS’s Plans to Police Disinformation

By: Ken Klippenstein, Lee Fang, The Intercept, October 31, 2022:

The Department of Homeland Security is quietly broadening its efforts to curb speech it considers dangerous, an investigation by The Intercept has found. Years of internal DHS memos, emails, and documents — obtained via leaks and an ongoing lawsuit, as well as public documents — illustrate an expansive effort by the agency to influence tech platforms.

The work, much of which remains unknown to the American public, came into clearer view earlier this year when DHS announced a new “Disinformation Governance Board”: a panel designed to police misinformation (false information spread unintentionally), disinformation (false information spread intentionally), and malinformation (factual information shared, typically out of context, with harmful intent) that allegedly threatens U.S. interests. While the board was widely ridiculed, immediately scaled back, and then shut down within a few months, other initiatives are underway as DHS pivots to monitoring social media now that its original mandate — the war on terror — has been wound down.

Behind closed doors, and through pressure on private platforms, the U.S. government has used its power to try to shape online discourse. According to meeting minutes and other records appended to a lawsuit filed by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, a Republican who is also running for Senate, discussions have ranged from the scale and scope of government intervention in online discourse to the mechanics of streamlining takedown requests for false or intentionally misleading information.

“Platforms have got to get comfortable with gov’t. It’s really interesting how hesitant they remain,” Microsoft executive Matt Masterson, a former DHS official, texted Jen Easterly, a DHS director, in February.

In a March meeting, Laura Dehmlow, an FBI official, warned that the threat of subversive information on social media could undermine support for the U.S. government. Dehmlow, according to notes of the discussion attended by senior executives from Twitter and JPMorgan Chase, stressed that “we need a media infrastructure that is held accountable.”

Funny how the left loves to call conservatives “FASCISTS” but the DHS Leaks confirm it’s been left-wingers in government bullying private, big-tech companies to censor and deplatform conservatives.

Leftwing fascism is an existential threat to America.
