Smoking Gun: USG, Free Speech, Big Tech

The CDC colluded with Big Tech to prevent COVID "vaccine" informed consent

Doctors working on the front lines providing early COVID treatment and raising concerns regarding the safety and effectiveness of the COVID genetic vaccines have long suspected that the US Government Department of Health and Human Services was colluding with Big Tech to censor, defame, gaslight and deplatform anyone who veers from the government-approved narrative regarding these matters. But now we finally have hard evidence which documents this blatant infringement on the right to free speech by the US Government.

Why should you care?

Because we now have definitive evidence that the COVID-19 genetic “vaccines” are neither fully safe, nor are they effective in preventing infection, replication, and spread of the virus. In fact, there is growing evidence that these EUA authorized products, which have been mandated by both governments and private industry, are associated with increased risk of disease and death from COVID-19.

Furthermore, the US Government colluded with Big Tech to prevent patients and general US Citizens from being able to obtain true informed consent about the risks of these experimental products which have been provided under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). These COVID genetic “vaccines” are associated with risks to the nervous system, risks of blood clotting, reproductive risks (reduced semen count, menometrorrhagia and other menstrual irregularities), cardiac risks, immune system damage, risks of latent DNA virus reactivation, and a wide range of other adverse events including death. These risks occur in both adults and children. If you or someone that you know has experienced these or other vaccine-associated adverse events within 60 days of receiving an injection of these products, you should know that the US Government acted in collusion with Big Tech to prevent informed consent about these risks prior to administering the products. 60 days being a clearly documented duration of synthetic pseudouridine-containing “mRNA” remaining in the body, as well duration of production of the toxic Spike protein encoded by these products.

The U.S. Bill of Rights

America First Legal FOIA

America First Legal (AFL) has now released documents it obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in response to a freedom of information act (FOIA) request. The documents received, while highly redacted, provide concrete evidence of collusion between the CDC and social media companies to censor free speech and promote Biden Administration propaganda.

The findings are summarized in an AFL press release summarizing conclusions from 256 pages of documents obtained from the FOIA. The AFL case is one of many legal cases now pending concerning the collusion of the Biden administration with Big Tech. By way of full disclosure, I am involved in some of these.

America First Legal President Stephen Miller has provided the following statement:

“These explosive smoking-gun documents, obtained as a result of America First Legal’s litigation against the Biden Administration, conclusively demonstrate that Big Tech has unlawfully colluded with the federal government to silence, censor, and suppress Americans’ free speech and violate their First Amendment rights. Government is expressly prohibited from censoring competing or dissenting viewpoints or from silencing its political opponents whether it does so directly or whether it uses an outside corporation to achieve its draconian, totalitarian ends. AFL will not rest in the fight against illegal collusion between Big Tech and Big Government to trample on your voices and the Bill of Rights,” Stephen Miller said.

The 286-pages of documents which have been released consequent to the FOIA can be found here.

Regarding Twitter. Specific findings based on these documents include the following:

• CDC sends Twitter officials a chart of tweets it deemed to be “misinformation” (p. 7)

• Regular BOLO (Be On the LookOut) meetings where CDC would share what they categorized as “misinformation” with various social media companies, including Twitter and Facebook, and provide slide decks, requesting “Please do not share outside your trust and safety teams.” (pp. 5, 28, 36-52)

• Express requests from Twitter to the CDC for help in identifying “misinformation” (p. 93).

• Twitter stating that coordination with CDC over vaccine misinformation was  “tricky” because the Twitter CEO was testifying before Congress that week (p. 99).

• CDC recommends information about the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) be added to tweets. (p. 36)

Regarding Facebook. Specific findings based on these documents include the following:

• Direct engagement between CDC officials and social media companies where CDC sends links to Facebook to flag those posts as disinformation (pp. 55-57). 

• $15 Million dollars worth of Facebook ad credits as “non-monetary gift” to HHS and CDC on vaccines, social distancing, travel, and priority communication messages–potentially in violation of the Antideficiency Act’s limitation on voluntary services (31 U.S.C. § 1342) (pp. 104, 116-119) 

• CDC requests to help ensure “verifiable information sources” are not blocked because State Department of Health posts were being blocked as vaccine misinformation. (pp. 101-102).

• Set up a COVID-19 Misinformation Reporting Channel for CDC and Census to make reports to Facebook, and holding a “training meeting” for the Misinformation Reporting Channel (pp. 106, 245)

• Feeding CDC with Facebook-sponsored research on the COVID-Vaccine (pp. 120-205)

Regarding Google. Specific findings based on these documents include the following:

• CDC requested that Google promote its new vaccine page in its search results (p. 58).

• CDC coordination with Google regarding vaccine “misinformation,” including a “Question Hub thing” the CDC and Google were collaborating on (p. 283)

• CDC sought coordination with Google regarding WHO infodemiology conference in connection with CDC’s creation of the “discipline of infodemiology” to “target” the general public and “push back against the misinformation.” (p. 282)

• Google’s News and Information Credibility Lead, News Lab asked CDC to keep Google posted about anything infodemiology-related, and that employee’s focus at the time was “primarily on election but the two are inevitably related.” (p. 283)

• At CDC request, Google agreed to post an ad for a job position at CDC (pp. 281, 284-285)

• At CDC request, Google “signal boosts” the WHO’s “unicorn program” to provide “comprehensive global training on tracking, analyzing and addressing misinformation” (274-281)

• CDC directly making edits into Google’s code for its “Knowledgebase” (pp. 216-221)

The AFL concludes with following comment in their press release:

The records AFL finally received from the CDC reveal the extent to which the Biden Administration is willing to engage in unconstitutional and otherwise unlawful activities in total disregard for the rights of American citizens. AFL continues to file crucial oversight requests with the Biden Administration to reveal to the American people the actions this Administration is taking on a daily basis which undermine the rule of law and the liberties of American citizens. AFL has made clear that any corrupt government agency that attempts to conceal records should be prepared to face legal action.

Clearly there is no end in sight for this behavior.

Twitter resumes purge of scientists, critics of gender ideology after Musk pullout

Ivy League epidemiologist suspended again less than two weeks after reinstatement that followed legal threat. Twitter switches charge against genomics researcher from COVID misinformation to "abusive behavior" after he appeals.

he free-speech wing of the internet cheered when billionaire Elon Musk, a vocal critic of social media censorship, said he would purchase Twitter for $44 billion. 

But by backing out of the deal earlier this month over Twitter's alleged undercounting of spam accounts, the Tesla CEO may have emboldened the social media platform to resume or expand its aggressive moderation of tweets that offend elite opinion.

Since the Musk deal fell through, Twitter has imposed a raft of suspensions and lockouts against medical experts and critics of gender ideology, including one it recently reinstated.

While it has publicly demanded Musk complete the deal, Twitter could also try to compel him to pay the $1 billion back-out penalty if it wanted to preserve its flexibility to crack down on purported COVID-19 misinformation, abusive behavior and "hateful conduct."

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, suspended for several months for calling hydroxychloroquine a "safe drug," said he noticed a "remarkable uptick in followers" to his account after Musk announced his intended purchase.

"I think Twitter is nervous" following its legal settlement with newly reinstated former New York Times journalist Alex Berenson, who showed "Twitter wasn't even following its own rules," Fitton told Just the News.

The number of spam accounts is "just a subset" of potential fraud, as evidenced by Twitter's alleged refusal to disclose information about its suspension processes during Musk's due diligence, according to Fitton.

"They're lying to Congress," shareholders, regulators and users, he alleged.

Ivy League epidemiologist Andrew Bostom woke up Wednesday to learn his account had been suspended for the second time in a month for purported COVID misinformation.

Twitter had reinstated Bostom hours after receiving a July 14 legal warning letter from former Trump administration lawyer James Lawrence, who also represented Berenson and recently added deplatformed user Daniel Kotzin as a client.

"I am not sure why Twitter has suddenly become so aggressive against accounts like Dr. Bostom's ... its actions make no sense to me either legally or commercially," Berenson told Just the News Wednesday when asked what role Musk's withdrawal may have played.

Bans by California-based Twitter "may violate California law and the California Constitution — which protects some speech on private property" — but they also fly in the face of its lucrative commitment to serving as "a public square committed to free speech," Berenson said.
