Patriot,

While the mass media obsesses over the most recent criminal
charges brought against Donald Trump for the concocted "crime" of
contesting an election, the real story is that the social media
giants - themselves a major part of the "mainstream" media - have
been obeying the deep state to massively censor the information
being brought to the American people.

As I discuss in my latest column, which you can read below, the
"Facebook Files" reveal the same story as the "Twitter Files" did
-the U.S. government has been engaged in the most massive
censorship campaign in American history.

It's so bad, it reeks more than George Orwell's 1984.

Not only does this cast the entire story about the 2020 election
in a whole new light, but it exposes why Campaign for Liberty's
work to stop the RESTRICT Act is so vital.

The RESTRICT Act would quite simply enable the government to
criminalize speech it dislikes. And until Campaign for Liberty
supporters applied pressure to lawmakers, the bill was poised to
sail through both chambers of Congress.

We cannot let up the pressure. In fact, it's time to turn up the
heat even more!

Take a moment and tell your representative and senators to OPPOSE
the RESTRICT Act.

'Facebook Files' Reveal Despicable Disregard for the Constitution


Last week's revelation that Facebook took orders from the Biden
Administration to censor even accurate information about Covid is
the latest example of the U.S. government's disregard for our
Constitution. Thanks to Rep. Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House
Judiciary Committee, we now know the extent to which the Biden
Administration went in its proxy war against the First Amendment.


Getting the information wasn't easy. It was only after Facebook
founder Mark Zuckerberg was threatened with being held in
contempt of Congress that he relented and shared information with
the Judiciary Committee about Biden Administration pressure to
censor Americans on Facebook who disagreed with White House
policy on Covid.

What we have discovered thus far is disgusting. For example, in
April 2021, a Facebook employee sent a message to top executives
in the company complaining that, "we are facing continued
pressure from external stakeholders, including the [Biden] White
House" to remove posts. In another example, senior executive Nick
Clegg complained that Andy Slavitt, a Senior Advisor to President
Biden, was "outraged…that [Facebook] did not remove" a
particular post, according to Rep. Jordan's report.

Rep. Jordan revealed that the "offending post" that the Biden
Administration wanted removed was simply a joke making fun of
possible vaccine injury down the road. The Biden Administration
even wanted to "protect" us from jokes that it didn't like.

The Administration did not stop at targeting what it called
"misinformation." As Constitutional Law Professor Jonathan Turley
noted in a recent column, "the administration also demanded the
removal of 'malinformation' that is 'based on fact, but used out
of context to mislead, harm, or manipulate.'" So the Biden
Administration wanted to "cancel" even truthful information
counter to its own preferred narrative.

This level of contempt for our Constitution is shocking. As
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. - who was himself censored at the behest
of the Biden Administration - testified recently before Congress:
"A government that can censor its critics has license for every
atrocity. It is the beginning of totalitarianism."

Who knows how many thousands of Facebook accounts were banned or
restricted at the behest of the Biden White House. Early last
year I received notice that my own Facebook Page was "restricted"
for 90 days because I pointed out that the CEO of Pfizer once
claimed that his Covid shot was "100 effective" but later changed
his story. The post was completely accurate but still my page was
targeted.

Although some are using this information for partisan gain
against the Democrats in power, Americans should not delude
themselves: left unchecked, there is little reason to believe a
Republican Administration would show any more respect for the
Constitution than the Biden Administration. Both parties have
shown themselves to be selective in their pledged oath to uphold
and defend the U.S. Constitution.

It is just as unconstitutional - and thus illegal - for the U.S.
Government to violate the First Amendment by proxy - through
so-called private companies - as if the government directly
attacked our free speech. We must remember that the unprecedented
U.S. government censorship of Americans during Covid was just the
test run. Be assured that when the next "crisis" comes - and it
will - the authoritarians in charge will again ramp up the
censorship machine unless we do something about it.
