Documents reveal TAXPAYER-FUNDED censorship campaign against conservative media

 Documents reveal that the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), a U. K. -based organization, worked with U. S. taxpayer-funded groups to censor and demonetize conservative news outlets, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The CCDH, led by CEO Imran Ahmed, was able to operate in the U. S. due to funding from various government agencies and private organizations, which allowed it to target conservative media under the pretext of combatting misinformation.

The CCDH's "Disinformation Dozen" report singled out 12 Americans, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Joseph Mercola, as key sources of vaccine skepticism. This report was utilized by the Biden administration to justify censoring content on social media that was critical of vaccines. The organization's tactics included pressuring companies like Google to remove financial support from conservative websites, which restricted their advertising revenue and visibility.

The CCDH's funding sources included the Obama Foundation, USAID, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services. Their collaboration with a U. S. taxpayer-funded organization, Restless Development, involved creating "blocklists" that effectively blacklisted conservative sites from receiving advertising revenue, further amplifying the concerns surrounding government interference and free speech.

Ahmed claimed success in demonetizing conservative platforms during a U. K. Parliament testimony, indicating that such campaigns not only impacted financial backing but also engaged in legal threats against those disputing official narratives about COVID-19. This has prompted outrage from conservative groups and advocates for free speech, who assert that these actions threaten the foundations of democracy and free expression in the U. S.

America First Legal has called for a Department of Justice investigation into whether CCDH and its leadership are acting as foreign agents, highlighting the implications of foreign influence on U. S. policy and the ongoing battle over free speech rights. The concern is raised that when the government and tech companies collaborate to silence dissenting voices, it poses a significant risk to democracy as a whole.

These events underline the critical importance of safeguarding free speech in an age where information control is increasingly prevalent. As discussions around censorship and free expression grow, the actions of the CCDH serve as a warning against governmental overreach and the need for vigorous defenses of First Amendment rights.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
