Free speech isn't a free fall in Europe. There are two anti free speech movements that have coalesced. The U. S. Anti free speech movement began in higher education, then metastasized throughout the government. The Berlin World Forum followed the remarks of Vice President Vance on free speech, and the EU was red hot. Hillary Clinton was there, and she really fueled the anger. When Twitter was purchased by Elon Musk, she called on the EU to use the infamous Digital Services Act, which is one of the most anti free speech pieces of legislation in decades. And she called upon the EU to use the DSA to force the censorship of American citizens, force people like Musk to censor. After the World Forum, they further globalized this effort, threatening companies like ACTS with ruinous fines unless they resume censoring American citizens.

The speaker testified about the censorship industrial complex, revealing that it is worse than previously thought. Internal files from the Cyber Threat Intelligence League showed military contractors working to censor and use psychological operations against Americans. While some argue that social media platforms have the right to censor content, the First Amendment prohibits the government from abridging freedom of speech. Evidence suggests that the government encouraged private entities to engage in censorship. The Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Information Security Agency (CISA) played a central role, along with other government agencies. CISA created the Election Integrity Partnership, which urged platforms to censor posts, resulting in a 75% response rate. CISA and the White House also demanded censorship of COVID-related content. The speaker calls for defunding and dismantling these organizations, or implementing significant oversight to prevent future censorship. They also suggest making liability protections contingent on transparent moderation and public reporting of censorship requests.

"Today's misinformation is always tomorrow's truth. It's always the government who wants to censor people who are critical of the government." "Europe is trying to police everyone and shake down American tech companies, which is exactly what the digital markets act looked like. That is what's at stake here, and that is not how our First Amendment works." "Everything our government here in The United States told us about COVID turned out to be false. If you criticize any of the things they initially told you, you had to be censored." "When Elon bought Twitter, now it's a place where the first amendment and free speech are right where they need to be." "The spillover effect it can have on, American content being seen by European users." "The answer to stupid speech, bad speech, and wrong speech is more speech." "the hallmark of Western culture is free expression." "There were 12,183 arrests for offensive post online." "Global Alliance for Responsible Media." "Disinformation governance board."

Governments are increasingly collaborating to suppress free speech, particularly in the US and UK, as revealed by new documents. This global effort involves over 20 countries and organizations like the Center for Countering Digital Hate, which are working to label and criminalize dissent. Legal frameworks such as the UK Online Safety Act and proposed US legislation like the Kids Online Safety Act (COSA) aim to regulate online content under the guise of protecting children, potentially infringing on free speech rights. These measures may require age verification, threatening online anonymity. The involvement of intelligence agencies and the push for digital IDs raise concerns about surveillance and censorship. Critics argue that these laws violate the First Amendment and question the effectiveness of such regulations in genuinely protecting vulnerable populations.

Foreign governments are using their own laws to censor information for Americans, like the EU's Digital Services Act, which threatens companies with fines if they don't comply. We've requested communications between these foreign entities and tech companies to reveal this pressure. We're also sending letters to the UK, EU, and Brazil to put them on notice that we're watching their actions. It's unacceptable for foreign governments to undermine the First Amendment rights of Americans. We saw this with the Biden administration pressuring companies to censor, which thankfully has been stopped. Free speech is a core value of Western civilization, and we must protect it. We're aiming to safeguard the rights of Americans and help companies resist these shakedowns.

One of the 8,376 Department of Treasury employees launched an investigation into me the day I released one of the Twitter files. Months later, while I was testifying, some of those same employees made an unannounced visit to my home, even though they owed me money. A judge ruled that political appointees can't access certain information, but thousands of government employees can. USAID is involved in censorship efforts, too, using information operations to manipulate the media. They train NGOs to flag misinformation and strategically leak intelligence to control the news process. The values of Western civilization, like free speech, are worth fighting for. I have lived in countries where speaking your mind can send you to prison, and now I'm seeing that happen in the West. If we can't settle our disputes with debate, the alternative is frightening.

Europe has changed dramatically, and there is no freedom of speech anymore. Pavlov, the head of Telegram, was removed from his airplane in France. Thierry Breton, chairman of the European Commission, allegedly threatened Elon Musk with criminal and civil prosecution if he interviewed Donald Trump live on X spaces. Brazil censored Twitter and other social media sites three weeks ago. This rise of censorship and totalitarianism is occurring worldwide. The only hope to prevent that in the U.S. is Donald Trump; otherwise, this is what will happen if Kamala gets in.

Speaker 0 argues that free speech is not a free fall in Europe, contending that two anti free speech movements have coalesced. One movement is in Europe, which has “laid waste to free speech” in countries such as Germany, France, and England, and also in places like Canada. The other movement is described as the US anti-free-speech movement, which began in higher education and then metastasized throughout the government, but which has “all reached our shores now.” The speaker notes that the Berlin World Forum followed remarks on free speech by Vice President Vance, and that the EU was “red hot.” They describe the forum as “the most anti free speech gathering I’ve ever been part of,” with only two attendees from the free speech community, but those present are “committed.” Hillary Clinton is identified as being there and said to have fueled the anger. A key claim is that when Twitter was purchased by Elon Musk, Clinton called on the EU to use the Digital Services Act, described as “one of the most anti free speech pieces of decades,” to force censorship of American citizens and to compel people like Musk to censor. The speaker characterizes this as “an extraordinary act by someone who was once a presidential candidate in The United States,” and asserts that Clinton’s position reflects a commitment to censorship. The speaker further claims that after the World Forum, this effort was globalized, and that they are “threatening companies like ACTS with ruinous fines unless they resume censoring American citizens.” The overall message emphasizes a belief that anti free speech forces are expanding globally, using regulatory tools such as the Digital Services Act to compel censorship and penalize platforms that do not comply, with the World Forum acting as a catalyst for broader international pressure.

The defining characteristic of the United States is freedom of speech, guaranteed by the First Amendment. However, this fundamental right is rapidly eroding due to censorship disguised as combating disinformation and malinformation. This censorship, directed by the US government, is not limited to the private sector. Mike Benz, an expert on this issue, explains how the foreign policy establishment and defense contractors manipulate this. Internet freedom, initially used for supporting dissident groups globally, has become a tool for censorship since 2014. NATO now views controlling media as crucial for political influence, targeting even domestic groups. This shift accelerated after the 2016 election, with Russiagate providing cover for domestic censorship. The 2020 election and the COVID-19 pandemic saw massive censorship, with government agencies and private entities working together to suppress dissenting voices. This system uses AI-powered tools to identify and remove content deemed harmful to "democratic institutions," effectively creating military rule disguised as democracy. The fight to preserve free speech is now centered on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), which are facing immense pressure from both governmental and international entities.

The speaker testified about the censorship industrial complex, revealing that it is worse than previously thought. Internal files from the Cyber Threat Intelligence League showed military contractors working to censor and use psychological operations against Americans. While some argue that social media platforms have the right to censor content, the First Amendment prohibits the government from abridging freedom of speech. The whistleblower claims that the leader of the CTIL was present at the Obama White House in 2017 when instructed to create a counter disinformation project. The Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Information Security Agency played a central role in censorship, with other government agencies supporting it. The speaker calls for defunding and dismantling these organizations, as well as implementing oversight to prevent future censorship. They also suggest making liability protections contingent on transparent moderation and public reporting of censorship requests.

America's exceptionalism stems from its free speech, enshrined in the First Amendment. However, this fundamental right is rapidly eroding due to censorship disguised as combating disinformation and malinformation. This censorship, directed by the US government, isn't about truth but about silencing inconvenient voices. Mike Benz, an expert on this, reveals how the military-industrial complex and foreign policy establishment weaponized internet freedom, initially using it for regime change, then turning it inward to control narratives and elections. This involved using social media companies and government-funded organizations to censor dissent, framing it as a national security threat. This has fundamentally altered American governance, potentially leading to military rule. The future of free platforms like X is precarious, facing pressure from the US government and the EU's Digital Services Act.

Censorship is rising globally, with governments aiming to control the entire Internet, not just within their borders. Recent victories for free speech advocates include the rejection of censorship legislation in Ireland and Australia, and the resignation of a top EU censor. However, the EU's censorship framework remains intact, with organizations designated to identify and demand censorship from major tech companies. Despite these challenges, public opposition to government censorship is significant, with many recognizing it as a threat to free speech. Efforts to combat this censorship complex will require ongoing dedication, as influential figures continue to push for stricter controls. The focus on misinformation as a global risk by organizations like the World Economic Forum and the UN highlights the urgency of this issue.

The UK has created the National Internet Intelligence Investigations Team to monitor anti-migrant social media posts, purportedly to detect unrest. Critics argue this is a crackdown on free speech, citing instances of individuals receiving lengthy prison sentences for online activity. One example given is a woman imprisoned for 31 months for a tweet, longer than a child rapist's sentence. The EU's Digital Services Act and similar efforts in Canada, Brazil, and Ireland are also mentioned as part of a broader strategy to pressure social media companies into censoring content globally. These measures are seen as targeting populist movements critical of mass migration. Concerns are raised about Americans facing potential arrest in Europe for expressing controversial opinions online. Trump has imposed tariffs on Brazil because of their censorship. The goal, it's claimed, is to instill fear and self-censorship, mirroring the dystopian world of George Orwell's 1984.

Should the Judiciary Committee be concerned if European law results in the censorship of Americans? Absolutely, especially after recent events. I shared information this morning on X about a judicial ruling in Europe asserting their right to censor. We're seeing similar trends in Australia, where authorities believe they should censor the entire global Internet of disfavored information. This is very disturbing and really makes you question our alliance with Europe.

Foreign governments are using acts like the Digital Services Act to censor information globally, pressuring companies to take down content and threatening fines if they don't comply. We've requested communications between the EU, UK, and Brazil with these companies to see what pressure has been applied. We're sending letters to the UK, EU, and Brazilian Supreme Court, putting them on notice that we're monitoring their actions. It's one thing to censor their own citizens, but impacting the First Amendment rights of Americans is a problem, especially when companies are pressured with fines. We saw this when the Biden administration pressured companies to censor, which they later regretted. Free speech is essential, and we must protect it for Americans, especially against foreign interference.

The Twitter files reveal that the federal government, including intelligence agencies like the FBI, used Twitter to censor Americans' speech. Twitter was closely connected to the FBI before Elon Musk took over. Documents show that Twitter engaged in information sharing with the intelligence community, and multiple agencies were involved. The FBI pressured Twitter to act on election-related tweets in 2020 and 2022, resulting in content censorship. Twitter executives restricted accounts, censored speech conflicting with the official narrative, and used internal tools to control and manipulate information. This should concern every member of Congress and American citizen, as it goes against the principle of free speech. Government and media fact checkers often make mistakes, so important debates should not be suppressed.

I will release a report and video tomorrow for lawmakers about global censorship orchestrated by the State Department, USAID, and NED. The focus is on Brazil's censorship laws influenced by these entities. I fear being targeted for exposing this, but urge support. A detailed 400-slide presentation will follow later. If there is backlash, I ask for solidarity.

The Twitter files reveal that the federal government, including intelligence agencies like the FBI, used Twitter to censor Americans' speech. Twitter was heavily influenced by the FBI before Elon Musk took over. Documents show that Twitter engaged in information sharing with the intelligence community, and multiple agencies were involved. The FBI pressured Twitter to act on election-related tweets in 2022 and 2020, resulting in content censorship. Twitter executives restricted accounts, censored speech conflicting with the desired narrative, and used internal tools to control and manipulate information. This should concern every member of Congress and American citizen, as it goes against the constitutional principle of free speech. Government and media fact checkers often make mistakes, so important debates should not be suppressed.

Censorship remains a pressing issue, especially with recent events in Brazil and the blocking of X. There are concerns about potential repercussions for past censorship actions. Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged being pressured by the FBI, raising questions about accountability. If elected, there will be a commitment to fire those responsible for censorship, including those who misled tech companies like Zuckerberg. This includes the intelligence operatives who falsely labeled the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation. It's essential to strip these individuals of their security clearances and hold them accountable for lying to the public for political gain. Disgraceful actions must have consequences.

The Twitter files reveal significant government coordination with social media companies to suppress dissent, undermining First Amendment rights. During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett criticized journalists Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger, accusing them of promoting a biased narrative. Shellenberger responded, highlighting the emergence of a censorship industrial complex involving government agencies like the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, which is using taxpayer funds to censor information under the guise of combating disinformation. He emphasized that this practice is illegal and a violation of free speech rights. Shellenberger called for dismantling this censorship system to protect democracy.

The speaker discusses the current "transatlantic flank attack 2.0" strategy, where state department exiles are working with the EU to pass censorship laws. The EU Digital Services Act, crafted with input from figures like Michael Hayden and Tom Ridge, poses a major threat to freedom of speech. X faces the choice of forfeiting revenue or implementing internal censorship mechanisms to comply with the law. This battle against censorship from Europe is a significant challenge for X.

The speaker claims censorship and disinformation efforts are at another level, referencing a Department of Homeland Security initiative to destroy reputations, deplatform, and de-bank individuals. They assert global control of social media platforms is at risk from governments and the "deep state," jeopardizing free speech and democracy worldwide, specifically mentioning Australia, Brazil, Ireland, Scotland, Europe, Germany, France, Czech Republic, Britain, Canada, and the United States. They criticize Orwellian justifications like "countering disinformation" used to mask censorship, advocating for fighting misinformation with accurate information, not government-backed censorship. The speaker alleges Facebook was "captured" years ago and expresses concern over government-favored fact-checkers dictating censorship. They state there is a push for total control over platforms like X. The speaker also criticizes "media literacy" programs as brainwashing that replaces critical thinking with obedience and authoritarianism. They cite a military contractor handbook advocating information warfare tactics, including those used in the Arab Spring, now being deployed domestically. They suggest these efforts aim to program people before stories emerge, suppressing dissenting voices and undermining Western enlightenment values.

Two years ago, we were labeled as bought-off journalists for questioning digital censorship. I was shocked to see my party seemingly endorse censorship. John Kerry even lamented that the First Amendment hinders the government's ability to control information and build consensus, essentially complaining that people choose their own news sources. Building consensus isn't the media's job; it's our job to make governing hard, and many of our allies have already embraced draconian speech laws. The EU's Digital Services Act is the most comprehensive censorship law in a Western democracy. USAID is funding organizations that promote unified messaging and discourage diverse opinions, spending millions of dollars to transform the free press into a consensus machine. You've taken taxpayer money to tell people they're wrong about what they can see, you sold us out.

The Twitter files reveal that the federal government, including intelligence agencies like the FBI, used Twitter to censor Americans' speech. Twitter was closely connected to the FBI before Elon Musk took over. Documents show that Twitter engaged in information sharing with multiple intelligence agencies. The FBI pressured Twitter to censor election-related tweets in 2020 and 2022. Twitter executives restricted accounts and censored speech that went against the preferred narrative. This should concern every member of Congress and American citizen because it goes against the principle of free speech. Government and media fact checkers often make mistakes, so relying on them as arbiters of truth is not reliable. Government should not suppress important debates in public discourse.
