The Assault on Freedom of Speech

Over the past three years, the woke regime and Biden Administration have launched a relentless assault on freedom of speech, viewing it not as a fundamental right but as a hindrance to its political agenda.

Under the guise of promoting group quotas over individual merit and constitutional liberties, the regime has erected a sophisticated apparatus of information control unprecedented in human history. The advent of the digital age has provided the woke regime with unparalleled tools for censorship and manipulation.

By outsourcing speech and information control to private entities and using cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, opinions, and thoughts are suppressed or silenced. Central to this information control apparatus is what has been termed the “Censorship-Industrial Complex,” a convergence of government agencies, media outlets, tech giants, academic institutions, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that operate to construct pseudo-realities where truth is labeled “disinformation,” serving to further the regime’s narrative and stifle dissent.

In testimony before the House Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, Michael Shellenberger likened this complex to Eisenhower’s warning about the dangers of the military-industrial complex. Just as Eisenhower feared the undue influence of defense contractors, Shellenberger highlights the threat posed by the censorship-industrial complex to constitutional government and individual liberty.

The transition of censorship from a foreign concern, such as Russian disinformation, to a domestic one, under the guise of protecting democracy, has been meticulously orchestrated. To wit: Merely questioning the legitimacy of an election, once considered an exercise of free speech, is now equated with attacking critical infrastructure and has been deemed domestic terrorism in some cases.
