Government Bureaucracies and the Biden Administration Cannot Be Trusted

• In a landmark decision that should have all Americans cheering, a Louisiana federal court recently upheld their First Amendment right to speak without being censored by the government. Judge Terry Doughty said the case, Missouri v. Biden, "arguably involves the most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history."
• Judge Doughty issued a preliminary injunction forbidding numerous federal agencies, including the FBI, the Justice Department, and the Department of Homeland Security, as well as many individuals within the executive branch, from communicating or meeting with: "[S]ocial-media companies for the purpose of urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner the removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech posted on social-media platforms."
• The Biden administration says this injunction should be overturned so it can "promote responsible actions to protect public health, safety, and security," i.e., continue to censor the public postings and opinions of American citizens.
• Government bureaucracies and the Biden administration cannot be trusted, and the courts should keep this injunction in place.

Biden Administration Suspends Funding to Wuhan Lab

• The Biden administration is suspending all federal funding to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), the Chinese lab at the center of a controversy over the origins of the coronavirus, according to a memo from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that was made public by a House subcommittee.
• Pursuant to the unanimously enacted COVID-19 Origin Act of 2023, the administration is required to provide Congress with detailed, declassified information on specific research activities of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, especially the institute’s coronavirus experiments on behalf of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army and incidents of early illness among the institute’s researchers. But the administration hasn’t complied with the law as written and has only released a portion of the information that it has.
• The Biden administration is stonewalling efforts to get to the bottom of the origins of the pandemic that has been blamed for the loss of over 1.1 million American lives. The stance is entirely unjustifiable and the consequences are intolerable.

Pushers of Central Bank Digital Currencies Are the Most Terrifying of Villains

• Villains always reveal their evil plans right before activating their doomsday devices. Today, the villains are central bankers, the evil plan is to surveil and control, and the doomsday device is CBDCs: central bank digital currencies.
• CBDCs are a type of government-run cryptocurrency that let the government monitor and control every single transaction you make, no matter how small. That means every single cent can be tracked, traced, taxed, and stopped or even forced without your consent.
• CBDCs allow bureaucrats to quickly punish you for spreading wrongthink and “misinformation.” You can be fined, or your bank account can be frozen. You need not be arrested to be severely punished in this utopia, and the mere threat would chill speech to silence.
