A federal judge chose the 4th of July to deliver a key ruling blocking Biden administration agencies and officials from meeting and communicating with social media companies. [Read 7-page Injunction HERE]
The temporary injunction targets an ongoing legal battle brought by the state of Louisiana and Missouri against federal agencies for collaborating with social media to censor speech content against the interests of the federal government. The final ruling on govt involved censorship could have profound effects on the First Amendment.
Judge Terry A. Doughty, has not made a final ruling in the case, but he wrote that the Republican attorneys general “have produced evidence of a massive effort by Defendants, from the White House to federal agencies, to suppress speech based on its content.” The ruling may have implications for tech companies, which have been exposed in recent months/years for regular communication with government officials.
“This Preliminary Injunction precludes said named Defendants, their agents, officers, employees, contractors, and all acting in concert with them from the aforementioned conduct. This Preliminary Injunction also precludes said named Defendants, their agents, officers, employees, and contractors from acting in concert with others who are engaged in said conduct.” (link)
Obviously, trying to stop the government from coordinating with social media groups to suppress information adverse to both their interests is a little like squeezing Jello in a closed fist; they will find an angle out of the limitations.
During my trip to DC in the summer of 2020 there were a myriad of disconcerting datapoints assembled; revelations that made sense of the madness and disappointments found everywhere. However, one of the key notations for future reference was to watch the political evolution of Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) and spot the jump where the ideological outlook turns into specific government action.
With that in mind, this recent discovery of a 2010 to 2015 DHS contract to a very well-known USG defense contractor, General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems Inc., surfaces.
As many are now becoming aware, DHS is the lead agency behind all of the engagements with Twitter and other social media.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), specifically created as an outcome of the post-911 Patriot Act, is the pivot point on the surveillance radar sweep.
Prior to the DNI the general Intelligence Community (IC) surveillance faced offshore and swept foreign adversaries. If any threat was picked up that included the potential for domestic terrorism, the identified contact transferred from the CIA, NSA, DoD into the DOJ and FBI. The DOJ then used the FISA Court to request transfer of targeting from foreign to domestic.
However, after 911 it was determined the national security surveillance radar needed to sweep a full 360° to include domestic surveillance. The ODNI was the office created to manage the pivot point. As a specific outcome of the Patriot Act, American citizens were now under the same surveillance as foreign adversaries. The new definition of American citizens being threats to the national security state is ultimately what led to our taking off shoes at TSA checkpoints in airports. TSA is a subsidiary agency of DHS.
Offshore surveillance now flowed from the CIA, DoD, NSA, IC into the ODNI, who then filtered it, and if needed transferred it to the newly created DHS.
As the design was laid out, the DHS would then contact the DOJ or FBI while affording the U.S. person (target) in question their duly constitutional protections against unlawful searches and seizures. The sketchy legal dynamic is what created the need for the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD).
At the same time, onshore domestic surveillance would be conducted by DHS through new systems like the Transportation Safety Administration etc. Local, state and federal law enforcement would identify issues or investigative targets, then send the targeting data upstream into the DHS database. DHS transfers the finding to the ODNI who cross-reference it with CIA, NSA, etc. This was the original design.
However, it was specifically Barack Obama and Eric Holder who saw an opportunity with the newly created system. The result, DHS domestic surveillance was weaponized. The timing of this DHS contract (2010) to General Dynamics for “media monitoring and social media support” fits perfectly in line with the known timeline of how DHS was weaponized.
Barack Obama and Eric Holder did not create a weaponized DOJ and FBI; the institutions were already weaponized by the Patriot Act. What Obama and Holder did was take the preexisting system and retool it, so the weapons of government only targeted one side of the political continuum.
This point is where many people understandably get confused.
Elevator Speech:
(1) The Patriot Act turned the intel surveillance radar from foreign searches for terrorists to domestic searches for terrorists.
(2) Obama/Biden then redefined what is a “terrorist” to include their political opposition.
Lee Smith makes an important point in this brief podcast excerpt. {Direct Rumble Link Here} We have outlined his point on these pages for several years.
Essentially, the point Lee Smith drives home is how the U.S. Corporate Media, and the Big Tech monopolies, are the front force of the new national security and intelligence state. It is a relationship that extends far beyond the customary leanings of media, and now covers a full synergistic relationship. WATCH:
“We’re all familiar with the fact that the press has historically leaned to the left. That’s not what we’re looking at now. We’re looking at something very, very different. We’re looking at the press as being a part of the intelligence community. They are the ones who is putting these operations out there.”
.
The New York Times and Politico are the public relations firms for Main Justice, the DOJ and FBI. The Washington Post handles the needs of the Intelligence Community (IC) and the Central Intelligence Agency. Meanwhile CNN is managed by the needs of the U.S. State Dept. These direct relationships have been discussed here for several years.
Now to bend the knees of this entire cabal, shut down the involved brainwashing
media & demand truth from surviving news sources.
This has been a fear campaign, an attempt to destroy the principles that unite us, no different than done by tyrants through the ages.
WE ARE A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE! 🇺🇸
We are not a “GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE,FOR THE PEOPLE,BY THE PEOPLE1” unless we have honest elections. That is the basis of it all.
No, we are not, we once were! Today we are a government of the cabal who prosecuted a coup against us “We the People”. Thus, We the People have a right and a duty to throw off such a government and form a new one.
They are not, I repeat NOT after trump. They are after us, he’s just in the way.
How about after JFK.
Yup
Good point. I was just thinking, “But we ARE a government of the people–it’s just up to us to set them right when they grab power.” They’ve alerady broken/intefered with nearly every part of the BOR—maybe they’ll order us to quarter illegals (“foreign troops”) in our houses and break threat one, to.. (Haha…always used to scoff and think, “Well, that’s one we’ll never have a use for!” Little did I know…)
If we were, and experienced a coup, and have the “Right” to defeat and abolish the “Coup”, then, as any legitimate government, We Are The Government.
Why should anyone be surprised. We have massive election fraud taking place, a puppet administration, corruption at every level in government and a uniparty congress advancing the green new deal and globalist agenda. They know they must crush any domestic effort that thwarts them before it snowballs against them. J6 is a prime example. Trillions are at stake.
J6 was their own creation, for their own purposes.

All part of the multi-faceted plan to steal the election. Wouldn’t do any good if they just did it up until they announced brandon’s “victory.” Still had that pesky in-between time and the actual inauguration to get through, and of course,they planned for that, as well.
We need a new country via new Declaration and new guidelines on taxing authority…. before these inbreds in the Govt’ loot all of our assets.
Not NEW__juSt the one we previously had before corporations received citizenship.
1. If you can vote for a candite, you can contrubute to their campaign.
2. All owners of corporations are liable for acts of the corp.
3. Terms of office will be limited to one term, and youcannot hold another office for three years.
4. No one can work longer than 10 years for the government, snd afterwards cannot do business withe gov in any fasion for ten years.
When the corruption reaches the lower level local govt’s across the board, (it has) look at all of them scrambling to raise property taxes to record high levels….. you know we are pretty much a failed society.
I saw one online article about 20%+ of the citizens in one county appealing property tax increases…. the kicker was the local Govt’ had a set timeline to address the appeals and they couldn’t meet their own guidelines. They complained about having to hire on more Govt’ workers and working extra overtime because of their OWN BS SCAMS on their own citizens.
“…. handles the needs of the Intelligence Community (IC) and the Central Intelligence Agency.”
IC = Fourth Branch of Government (concluded by SD and confirmed by circumstances).
Many agencies (17) make up the IC.
“(2) Obama/Biden then redefined …”
Obama/Biden are tools/assets (just like Bush, Jr., Clinton et al.), nothing more – they answer to handlers/puppeteers.
On paper, the hierarchy has the DHS and ODNI above the CIA. It is an illusion! Just like the Uniparty illusion.
Gives plausible deniability, legal cover in domestic activities, general decision making.
Info flows up for legal cover; info flows up on PSYOPS to execute to public; info flows up on other campaigns ie domestic color revolution; info flows up on dirt they have on other managers of other agencies to control them (extortion, blackmail, threats), info flows down that was generated from other agencies, particularly info on ‘domestic threats’ that can be analyzed & actions designed and filtered back up for execution by other agencies.
Again, our host has given us the evidence and answer to see. Read between the lines!
The subject Injunction against regime manipulation of social media specifically names exceptions which the regime can continue manipulating. This exceptions list is broad and subjective – in fact the previous offending regime manipulations could all fit.
So, yet another judicial action that (1) appears to address grievances about unconstitutional overreach while actually (2) creating loopholes to allow the overreach to continue. (The SCOTUS Harvard racist discrimination decision is another example.)
The [triad] of US Bloc [blanket surveillance, censorship, and propaganda] is evidently coordinated.
We can complain all we want, but talk is cheap, and it does not change the fundamental geopolitical shift underway as the [triad] continues manipulating the US Bloc populace to stay on course with the slow geopolitical shift.
Here’s another hint at the fundamental shift underway:
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/china-stunning-lead-over-us-052630482.html
Some suggest that part of the plandemic goals included further subverting the US to add to this shift in real geopolitical power.
The racist discrimination at Harvard and everywhere else must continue.
This is part of the mechanism subverting the US: The DEI quotas dilute and degrade competencies, top to bottom, and the resentments and hostilities caused by the quotas are an added bonus*.
Not just racism – all the DEI quotas.
Have you noticed the increasing incompetencies and dysfunctions, all around?
(* In the view of the forces seeking to subvert the US.)
Looks like Big Brother is at the last barricade. Let’s hope the judge does the right thing when he adjudicates the final ruling.
If people would make the individual decision to shun all social media this discussion would be moot. Simplistic I know, but highly effective.
No. Patriots need to push back and call out the censorship and propaganda. Expose it. Wherever it occurs.
Shadow Banning should be against the law…. only evil Democrat Losers (Modern era social media Nazi’s) think it is acceptable.
To me, it seems asinine to think that any court rulings will stop the intelligence apparatus from doing anything within their capability.
Correct. The Deep State will do whatever it wishes to do–judges and the Constitution be damned.
The people who oppress us are not swayed, influenced or motivated through normal democratic processes; they are, after all, despots who despise democracy.
Rearranging a few deck chairs on the Titanic.
This is a good ruling…but the Ministry of Truth will simply ignore it.
Covid and Climate Change are both apples and apples.
yep, both frauds
Thanks, AGAIN, Dubya. Mike Pence saved you a seat in the last bus out of DC.
If the govt ignores the Bill of Rights, they will ignore this judge.
Govt. thugs threaten social media platforms via Stanford University and a host of others routinely flouting what this judge exposes.
Could there be a law requiring logging and disclosure of any contacts between government, government entities, subsidiaries of government, and persons acting for government?
Shouldn’t it be public information just like white house visitor logs? Once there is a list it would be up to citizens to review and request more info through FOIA. I was a county employee for 15 years and it was explained to us that “everything” we do is subject to disclosure if reasonable and requested by a taxpayer.
How is the judge going to enforce this injunction? Social Media companies are infiltrated with (ex?) intelligence agents who may still be double dipping. Who will investigate to enforce this injunction? The FBI? Who will prosecute any offenders? The DOJ? Not going to happen.
I’ve had 4 of my Instagram accounts shadowbanned after showing support for Trump.
Every time I have to start over with new accounts and my followers never follow over to the new account.
The funny thing is when I start to see no comment likes, etc. I know my account is shadow banned and I confirm it by checking with others I know. My comments never show up on their pages, but on my account they are showing.
Mark Zuckerberg or whoever is shadow banning people is the EVIL DEVIL of the modern era.
