Patriot,

You could be thrown in jail for speaking from your heart . . .
and not just Facebook jail.

Unless you and I fight back. NOW.

Dr. Ron Paul warned in a recent email that the oppression of
speech unfolding in the UK, where people are being jailed for
comments they post on social media, can happen right here in
America too.

The Biden administration has made controlling your speech a top
priority, with Biden himself claiming companies that won't censor
their users were "killing people."

Now, the EU is now moving to force censorship upon American
citizens to meet its own demands of what is false, inciting, or
even "demeaning." And that includes censorship even of our
leading political candidates for the presidency.

The globalist forces of tyranny will push everywhere they can,
and the more they get away with elsewhere, the faster that same
tyranny is coming to America.

In Brazil, one rogue Supreme Court judge unilaterally banned the
social networks X (formerly Twitter) and Rumble. Both of these
networks actively oppose censorship.

As an American journalist living in Brazil, Glenn Greenwald,
remarked:

"You can tell yourself the extreme censorship framework in Brazil
- where not only are people banned but even imprisoned with no
trial - doesn't affect you. You can say the same about the EU, UK
and Canadian censorship laws. But it's all a laboratory to see
how far this can go."

In Europe, an EU commissioner openly threatened Elon Musk, the
owner of X, with "penalties and restrictions" and legal
consequences simply for airing an interview with presidential
candidate Donald Trump on his platform.

And the response from the Biden regime wasn't to warn against
foreign interference in American elections. It was silence -
because they're happy to see it.

Musk stood up to the threat. But this behavior shows how foreign
actors are pressuring American institutions to censor.

The U.S. government has already colluded with Big Tech platforms
to censor Americans' political speech all across America.

That was the conclusion of a federal court, in Missouri v. Biden,
which said the federal government pressured social media
companies to censor conservative views and criticism of the Biden
administration in violation of the right to freedom of
expression.

The court ruled this censorship was "the most massive attack
against free speech in United States' history."

The ruling was shamefully rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court -
not on the merits - but claiming the plaintiffs, two U.S. States
and five harmed individuals, didn't have "standing" to oppose
their own censorship by the government.

But now, another federal court has ruled a similar case with
another plaintiff absolutely does have standing to sue and the
issue has been revived.

But Patriot, it's not enough to hope for the best from our
courts.

We need to actively demand Congress strengthen our speech
protections and pass a Digital Freedom Act.

The proposal is simple: a federal law that would ban any federal
funding of any offices or programs (government, academic, or
corporate) that rate, target, censor, throttle, or seek to take
adverse action against individuals or groups based on their
viewpoints in public forums or social media.

Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley has already floated such a
proposal.

As the Missouri v. Biden case proved, social networks aren't
censoring on their own. They're being pushed by federal agencies.


And these federal bureaucracies are thereby meddling in our
political process by censoring free speech.

Tell your representative and Senators right now: Support and pass
a Digital Freedom Act and protect free speech online!

Patriot, if we don't demand freedom of speech, there's nothing
they won't censor.

Not only do they target what they label "misinformation." They
invented a word, "malinformation," to describe true information
the government deems harmful and therefore must be censored.

I think we've read about this before in George Orwell's 1984
where the Ministry of Truth is responsible for the necessary
falsification of historical events.

But it's not in a fictional book now; it's really happening.

Governments around the world are starting to tell us if your
truthful speech contradicts what the government wants citizens to
believe, you are guilty of "malinformation" and must be punished.


Recently EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called for
"pre-emptive debunking," or as she called it "pre-bunking" -
attacking what you say before you say it.

In other words: blacklisting; labeling people; attacking sources.


And now we have seen proof that European officials think nothing
about attacking free speech in America.

But free speech is a human right. It's part of our DNA as
Americans. We can fight back and protect the people's right to
express their views.

Remember, what these self-appointed arbiters of truth censored in
recent years that turned out to be true:

The Hunter Biden laptop . . . the risks of Covid vaccines and the
worthless masking mandates . . . the origins of Covid . . . NATO
having provoked war with Russia. The stories suppressed by the
mass media often turn out to be the biggest stories.

And when the government tried to create a "disinformation
governance board" in 2022, the person they chose to head it, Nina
Jankowicz, was not just a partisan hack, but an advisor to the
Ukrainian government - a foreign agent!

The government is the root cause of disinformation.

The solution to misinformation is a free marketplace of ideas.
And we must fight to restore it now.

Tell your U.S. Representative and Senators right now: Support and
pass a Digital Freedom Act and protect free speech online!
