The Dems censorship cabal

 Mike Miller:

...

The New York Post on Sunday published a piece by investigative journalist Miranda Devine about a little-noticed federal lawsuit, Missouri v. Biden, that “is uncovering astonishing evidence of an entrenched censorship scheme cooked up between the federal government and Big Tech that would make Communist China proud.” (Note: While the lawsuit hasn’t been extensively covered by the legacy media, RedState has reported on it, including smoking gun emails obtained via the discovery process which demonstrate the coordination.)

According to Devine, 67 government officials or agencies — including the FBI — are accused in the lawsuit of violating the First Amendment by pressuring Facebook, Twitter, and Google to censor users for alleged misinformation or disinformation.

Victims of the Biden-Big Tech’s “censorship enterprise,” Devine said, include The Post, whose Hunter Biden laptop exposé was suppressed by Facebook, and then Twitter in October 2020 after “the FBI went to Facebook warning them with great specificity to watch out for a ‘dump’ of Russian disinformation, pertaining to Joe Biden, with an uncanny resemblance to our stories.”

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, who’s leading the action, summarized the lawsuit:

We allege that top-ranking Biden administration officials colluded with those social media companies to suppress speech about the Hunter Biden laptop story, the origins of COVID-19, the efficacy of masks, and election integrity.

Devine further said Big Tech censorship is related to alleged “misinformation” about COVID pandemic lockdowns and vaccines, as well as material from esteemed infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists that proved over time to be correct — and eventually, much of which was adopted as official policy by the CDC.

The list of defendants includes:

  • FBI special agents Elvis Chan and Laura Dehmlow, who gave Facebook that detailed “disinformation” briefing right before The Post was censored
  • White House press secretaries, current and former, Karine Jean-Pierre and Jen Psaki
  • Dr. Anthony Fauci, the president’s chief medical adviser
  • Former White House senior COVID-19 adviser Andrew Slavitt
  • Counsel to President Biden Dana Remus
  • The DHS over the disbanded Disinformation Governance Board
  • The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency
  • The FDA
  • The State Department
  • The US Election Assistance Commission.

The civil action was filed by the attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana, noted Devine, in partnership with “such red-pilled lawyers as Jenin Younes at the New Civil Liberties Alliance.” (Biden’s sleazy attorney general, Merrick Garland was unavailable for comment.)

The case overlaps a separate lawsuit by COVID-response critic and former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson, whose legal victories so far forced Twitter to reinstate his account after he was banned over his COVID reporting. But as Devine noted, the “cat and mouse game continues as Berenson is currently suspended again.”

Banning and censoring conservative opinion and factual information, under the false pretense of misinformation or disinformation, that contradict the lies and narratives of the Biden administration and upset the supreme potentates of Google, Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, and other Big Tech companies, smacks of the heady days of the Soviet Union and today’s Communist China.

...

Those responsible for censorship are rarely the good guys and that is certainly the case here.  These people tried to suppress relevant information because it did not fit their preferred narrative, and not because it was wrong.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
