“The media say we must give the government more power to fight misinformation online. We must not. The only way to fight misinformation is through free speech. What the media really want is the power to censor us. And it’s easy to see why: very few Americans trust them.”
For years, governments and mainstream media corporations worked hand-in-glove to censor social media platforms. After @elonmusk bought Twitter, that changed. Ever since, they've been on the warpath, demanding the power to censor X and demonizing the First Amendment. pic.twitter.com/mbKb9uSbkm

The media need censorship to maintain their news monopoly. Their brainwashing worked on Democrats from 2016 – 2020. But Democrats' trust has dropped 16 points since 2022. Years of media gaslighting on Covid, Russia, inflation, migration, Biden, laptop, etc. is now backfiring. pic.twitter.com/zpbs9gQWXI

A damning investigation by the U.S. House of Representatives has revealed what many feared—government officials have been actively working to suppress lawful speech. This isn’t a conspiracy theory, but a chilling reality backed by hard evidence. The Committee on the Judiciary and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government are peeling back the layers, uncovering a web of coercion between the Executive Branch and major companies. Even more alarming, this censorship extends beyond U.S. borders, impacting free speech in Brazil.
The question that should haunt every American: How far has this gone, and who else is being silenced? The ramifications of these trends are profound and far-reaching.
