Deep dives
Suppression of Conservative Speech during the 2020 Election
A public-private partnership colluded to censor conservatives and propagate misinformation during the 2020 election. This included targeting individuals like Glenn Beck and suppressing protected political speech on social media platforms.
Expanding Control over the Internet
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is set to gain unprecedented control over the internet, with the Biden administration's plan to regulate every aspect of internet services and infrastructure. This move has raised concerns about government overreach and the potential for censorship.
Censorship of Speech and Criminalization of Ideas
There is a growing trend of suppressing dissenting voices by labeling them as threats to democracy, inciters of violence, or purveyors of disinformation. This has resulted in individuals being censored, deplatformed, and even facing criminal charges for expressing their views.
Manipulation of Public Perception
There is an increasing effort by the ruling elites to control public opinion and shape narratives by stifling dissent and promoting authorized opinions. This is done through mass surveillance, manipulation of speech, and leveraging social media platforms to suppress, flag, and report 'wrongthink' content.
Bipartisan support for funding Israel
Despite objections from some Democrats, bipartisan support has emerged for providing funding to Israel. The recent move by the Biden administration to delay the sale of firearms to Israel has raised concerns among lawmakers, leading to calls for action to support the country's defense. The issue has become a point of contention, with some members of Congress advocating for prioritizing the assistance to Israel over other funding priorities. The debate surrounding the funding raises questions about the relationship between the US and Israel, as well as the broader implications for foreign policy.
Spending debate and the border crisis
As the debate over spending bills continues, there is growing concern over the border crisis. Lawmakers are grappling with how to address the issues at the border while navigating the broader spending priorities of the government. The need for increased border security has become a focal point, with some suggesting leveraging funding for Ukraine to ensure border security measures. However, this approach raises questions about the appropriateness of funding foreign countries in the current context. The need to secure the border and address immigration issues remains a pressing concern for lawmakers and the American public.
The FCC power grab and other concerns
Recent developments in Washington, such as the proposed FCC power grab and other issues, have raised alarm among conservatives. The proposed FCC regulations would grant the government unprecedented control over the internet and various technologies, leading to concerns about government overreach and potential censorship. Additionally, the ongoing investigation into the Biden family's business dealings and the ATF's targeting of American citizens further add to the worries among conservatives. These issues highlight the need for strong leadership and a commitment to constitutional principles in order to safeguard individual liberties and prevent government overreach.
