The Biden Administration Is Engaged in a Massive Censorship Campaign
National Review ^ | September 11, 2022 | Kenin M. Spivak

The bedrock of American democracy, the First Amendment, prohibits Congress from making laws “abridging the freedom of speech.” The Supreme Court has repeatedly applied this prohibition to executive actions, as well.

The Biden administration’s campaign to censor, demonetize, and suppress dissenting voices on social media is much broader than previously known, as demonstrated by an amended complaint filed last month in federal district court in the case of Missouri v. Biden. The complaint, by the Louisiana and Missouri attorneys general along with the New Civil Liberties Alliance on behalf of leading health-care professionals, provides strong evidence of the administration’s vigorous campaign to coerce and collude with social-media companies in suppressing and deplatforming criticism of the administration as well as views with which it disagrees on subjects such as Covid, elections, the Hunter Biden laptop, and climate change, among others.

The evidence shows that at least 80 senior officials have participated in a concerted federal enterprise involving at least eleven federal agencies, including the White House, Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Office of the Surgeon General, Census Bureau, and FBI. The manifestly unconstitutional public–private partnership between the administration and Big Tech disregards Chief Justice Warren Burger’s warning that it is “axiomatic that a state may not induce, encourage or promote private persons to accomplish what it is constitutionally forbidden to accomplish.”

Responses to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and emails produced in discovery show that White House, DHS, and HHS officials flagged specific content and examples of content for censorship, including factually accurate dissenting views, under the guise of suppressing “domestic terrorism.”

“The Biden Administration Is Engaged in a Massive Censorship Campaign”

Even more sinister, is that the administration is doing this openly and unabated. With the support of the Democrats, far left organizations and the media, they know there is nothing to stop them . . .

More than anyone knows. Do almost any search with “GOP” in it then do the same with “Democrat”. The results will stun you.

The Biden administration needs their collective butts kicked for good once & for all time. Remember when America had a real government?

... New Civil Liberties Alliance ...

This is not your father's NCLU. But funded by the Koch's, so it will be condemned in short order.

But a need being filled. Hope springs.

They tried to establish an office if disinformation, got a lot of backlash, then went underground with all that.

...The new agency will support a broad range of programs aimed at preventing, detecting, and treating a variety of diseases, including cancer, according to the White House’s statement. However, rather than focusing on early research, STAT reports that ARPA-H will investigate higher-level solutions such as commercializing technology. Modeled on DARPA, the new agency is intended to speed the development of treatment and cures for diseases.

Earlier this year, ARPA-H received $1 billion in congressional funding to fulfill these objectives, and US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra decided it would be part of the National Institutes of Health. As director of ARPA-H, Wegryzn will report directly to Becerra.

New game, new arena, new boss same as the old boss.

Big corporation and Big Government, working together, preventing freedom of information, so they can remain in power and suppress people. I call this Fascism, in fact, I can’t find a better definition of it than that.
