Reaction & Commentary
Important this report where I’m a super spreader of misinformation during the last last election is there is there something more nefarious than just smearing me and the Blaze TV yeah well you uh were in good company with dozens upon dozens if not hundreds of other Americans ranging from the
Former president of the United States who was actually targeted for censorship not only by this quote unquote public private partnership that I’m sure we’ll talk about but actually by subordinate in an executive agency alongside journalists and everyday Americans who had their social media posts in 2020 surveilled and massed to the tune of
Hundreds of millions of tweets looked at by people who probably don’t share your politics and our politics and then had masses of that content flagged to the social media companies to suppress that content and this public private partnership was hatched in conjunction with actually by interns who were
Working at a federal agency in the National Security apparatus and this is the tip of the iceberg I think to a censorship industrial complex as it’s been called or a public private censorship regime and what we’ve reported at real clear investigations are new details about the inner workings of this so-called public private
Partnership who specifically was targeted by it what speech was targeted namely protected core political speech in this first amendment assault and then how intimately involved government agencies themselves were in getting social media companies to censor Americans again in Mass on Election Administration and election outcomes the purest political speech protected First
Amendment speech that there is what’s amazing to me is in this particular um narrative that they were squashing uh of mine I was warning in September I did two shows in September and October about color Revolution and how the Playbook literally The Playbook from the Democrats we had the copy of it
I mean I I show you the pages of it um was was putting together what it amounted to the same strategy as our state Department’s color Revolution should Donald Trump win the election and I warned the president I warned the people look for these things it wasn’t
To uh it wasn’t to start a color Revolution it wasn’t to overthrow the government it was a warning that people were planning to destabilize the government through some of these organizations and it was their own plan how did that become a super spreader of disinformation well the National Security apparatus and its apparent
Cutouts and force multipliers doing business as academic or research entities or think tanks have taken this idea and put on steroids that wrong think disfavored speech about virtually anything of significance itself could pose a threat to our election system to our Public Health infrastructure to our financial services infrastructure to
Virtually anything the government conceive of can conceive of and so if you propagate speech that they deem to be delegitimizing or undermining quote unquote our democracy that poses a threat to our democracy and that is liable to not only be suppressed by the social media companies that is on the
Digital Public Square by what have become essentially federally deputized speech police but you can actually go to jail for it and we have the perfect example of this in the case that I’m sure you’re familiar with of Douglas Mackey who puts out a tweet in 2016 say which says text your number to
Vote for Hillary Clinton to this number # I’m with her and it’s clearly a satirical post well the feds prosecuted him for suppression of voting rights because somebody might have texted their number there to vote for her not realizing that it wasn’t actually a vote Douglas Mackey was just sentenced a
Couple weeks ago to seven months in jail for that satirical tweet and by the way that same law is being hung around the neck of Donald Trump in the January 6 case so there is a censorship to criminalization pipeline that’s been built and it’s all premised on the idea
That if Americans hold ideas that our ruling regime doesn’t like it poses a threat to that regime they’ll say it poses a threat to democracy and that it incites domestic violent extremism and so there’s a national security or public health or protecting of our critical infrastructure just ification for the
Censorship but what it’s really dressing up is quashing of dissent and chilling of denters so Ben where are we headed I mean I look at all of the stuff that’s happening now with Islam phobia where they’re trying to convince the American people it’s islamophobia that is the
Real trouble when we all know that it’s anti-Semitism that is growing through the roof right now and a real danger to our our way of life and you know they didn’t say anything when they were trying to tear the gates down of the White House and if you think if they
Couldn’t get past that gate they wouldn’t have gone in and you know done all kinds of damage to the White House you’re fooling yourself the White House didn’t do anything about that nothing um if they control um all speech and they can silence people like you or like me when
We’re talking about uh the true nature of Hamas and they decide that we’re a problem because we’re spreading by telling the truth islamophobia they wipe us out and you got you got no protection for the Jews or anyone else that they decide is on the wrong
Side and you can apply this to basically any aspect of speech that might not comport with what authorized opinions are according to our rolling Elites there’s a very telling quote from the director of sisa which is this DHS sub agency cyber security and infrastructure Security Agency it’s a mouthful but
Which is devoted to protecting our iCal infrastructure and the director of that sub agency which helped spearhead and was the tip of the Spear of the National Security States efforts to surveil and censor speech directly and by proxy she has said that our most critical infrastructure is our cognitive infrastructure translation mind control
Is an imperative of the National Security apparatus and it’s going to engage in a whole of society effort to ensure the American mind is controlled now on this much more narrow point that you’re making and it’s such an important one this this this elevation of islamophobia which by the way
Islamophobia is now being raised as the issue of our time in response to the slaughter of Jews at a level of an equivalent of 50,000 Americans with atrocities on par with if not more disgusting with than what occurred during the Holocaust they are leveraging the slaughter of Jews to silence
Criticism of the administration and its Partners in the Middle East because let’s not forget of course the entire Biden Administration policy towards the Middle East which is really just the third term of the Obama Biden Administration was to make Iran the strong course flood its coffers with billions of dollars not impose sanctions
On it let it build up Hezbollah Hamas its other proxies and make it the dominant power while putting the screws to Israel so the the Biden Administration has blood on its hands in the slaughter of Americans and Israelis in Israel and now they want to use
Islamophobia as a way to shut up dissent that points to the disastrous consequences of their policies that’s certainly a part of it more broadly if you look at what Islam says about speech and you use islamophobia as a pretext to shut people up who want to speak freely
And openly honestly about is and Islamic supremacism it’s basically imposing it’s an attempt to impose Islamic speech codes on Americans it’s just totally anatha antithetical to our system and what this points to is our ruling Elites just cannot tolerate any form of dissent they had a near-death experience with
Donald Trump they had a near-death experience with brexit and they can’t allow the people to think for themselves speak for themselves they have to constrain us and shut us up using ever more disturbing and orwellian Chinese Communist party style modus operandi to shut us up so Ben I’ve I’ve got about 45
Seconds who’s taking this seriously and is is anybody working to dismantle this so Republicans in the house primarily and some in the Senate as well have tried to put forth legislation to First they’ve done oversight to expose this regime and second they’ve put forth legislation to try and freeze Federal
Speech police from engaging with the social media companies to shut up largely conservative Americans and denters on cidian Orthodoxy and a slew of other issues beyond that there’s a massive Supreme Court case it was called Missouri V Biden now Mercy V Missouri that is the preeminent case going before
The court next term where the Supremes are going to rule on whether federal agencies including the Biden White House violated our first amendment rights through colluding coercing cajoling the social media companies to censor wrong thinkers and another question the plantiffs and the ks have asked the
Court to take up is whether or not these thirdparty cutouts as well should be barred from working with the feds to mass surveil and flag for suppression and censorship our speech so the legislative and judicial Avenues are open we’ll see what happens Ben thanks so much Benjamin Weingarten Federalist
Uh senior contributor and real clear investigations uh editor at large appreciate it Ben God bless thanks for having me GL appreciate it
