House Judiciary Committee: After a Lawsuit by State AGs Trying to Stop the Department of "Homeland Security" from Censoring Americans' Speech, DHS Immediately Outsourced the Censorship to a Friendly Nonprofit

This seems to indicate that the DHS knew what it was doing would not stand up to any legal scrutiny.

So instead, they simply schemed to get a non-government third party to do what the government is forbidden to do itself. That doesn't work. A cop cannot ask a landlord to go into someone's apartment and do a quick search for him. The landlord immediately becomes an agent of the state, with all the same constitutional restrictions -- and requirements of seeking a warrant before a search of the premises -- that the cop has.

The Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency outsourced its "censorship operation" to a nonprofit it funded following a First Amendment lawsuit by Louisiana and Missouri attorneys general, "implicitly admitting that its censorship activities are unconstitutional," according to an interim staff report by House Judiciary Committee Republicans shared with Just the News.
CISA also wanted to use the Center for Internet Security, which operates the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) and Elections Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center (EI-ISAC), as its "mouthpiece" to obfuscate its own role in censorship, the report says.
It cites spring 2022 meeting notes from the subcommittee on "Protecting Critical Infrastructure from Misinformation & Disinformation," which was established by CISA's Cybersecurity Advisory Committee.
The notes show that the so-called MDM Subcommittee was "fully aware" of the contemporaneous "severe public outcry" about DHS's Disinformation Governance Board, which was disbanded after a few months, and the AGs' lawsuit against the Biden administration and CISA for pressuring social media to censor disfavored narratives, according to the report.

The subcommittee discussed circumventing the First Amendment by outsourcing these activities to third parties, which would also "avoid the appearance of government propaganda," according to meeting notes quoted by House Judiciary Republicans.
The report characterized this as "laundering" the government's messages through EI-ISAC.
Spaulding emailed Kate Starbird, cofounder of the University of Washington's Center for an Informed Public and MDM Subcommittee chair, worrying that it was "only a matter of time" before their work was publicly exposed and suggesting they be "proactive in telling our story." Starbird agreed, saying they had "a couple of pretty obvious vulnerabilities."

Biden also empowered CISA -- actual government agency -- to censor "malinformation," which is true information The Regime doesn't want its subjects talking about.

The Biden administration's war on so-called disinformation included a federal initiative to censor "malinformation," information that is true but inconvenient to the Democrat ruling regime.
On Monday, lawmakers on the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government published an interim report on the Department of Homeland Security's "disinformation" programs within the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). According to the report, CISA "metastasized into the nerve center of the federal government's domestic surveillance and censorship operations on social media," and has steadily expanded the scope of its censorship since 2018.
"In 2022 and 2023, in response to growing public and private criticism of CISA's unconstitutional behavior, CISA attempted to camouflage its activities, duplicitously claiming it serves a purely 'informational' role," the report reads.
CISA ultimately outsourced its dystopian censorship regime to third-party nonprofits and colluded with Big Tech companies to suppress information deemed incorrect or harmful to regime narratives. CISA, lawmakers wrote, "exploited its connections with Big Tech and government-funded non-profits to censor, by proxy, in order to circumvent the First Amendment's prohibition against government-induced censorship."
"This included the creation of reporting 'portals' which funneled 'misinformation' reports directly to social media platforms," the report says.<
The government's disinformation efforts extended to the censorship of "malinformation," defined by CISA as "based on fact, but used out of context to mislead, harm, or manipulate."
"In other words, malinformation is factual information that is objectionable not because it is false or untruthful, but because it is provided without adequate 'context' -- context as determined by the government," lawmakers explained.

But the hive, the left, whatever you want to call the collective, feels totally swaddled by the Democrats' control of the Presidency, having the media in the back pocket of Biden and the Democrats, and having the DOJ and FBI and Big Tech running interference. They think (know?) they are so protected in that gauzy, safe cocoon they can do absolutely anything without fear of any consequence at all.

In the meantime tens of millions of people are slowly waking up and getting first, probably unbelieving, and then angry.

I can't help but think some kind of reckoning (perhaps not near enough that is justified) may be on its way.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr · 2h
When industry and government are so closely linked, there is little difference between “private” and “government” censorship. Suppression of free speech is not suddenly OK when it is contracted out to the private corporations that control the public square.

The Twitter Files proved that numerous government agencies, acting through the FBI, told Twitter whom to censor. Twitter complied. Doubtless, Facebook, YouTube, and the rest received similar requests.

In the case of my interview with @al_guart, @YouTube probably acted on its own initiative. It has internalized the political wishes of the establishment to the point where it knows what to censor without being told.

49 It is with great consternation and profound disappointment that I find myself compelled to express my vehement opposition to the present state of affairs in our beloved nation. The principles upon which America was founded were firmly rooted in the notion of limited government, for we understood that unrestrained power would inevitably lead to tyranny and the erosion of individual liberties. As one of the principal architects of our Constitution, I cannot help but express my deep frustration at the growing leviathan our government has become.

We fought valiantly to liberate ourselves from the shackles of an oppressive monarchy, and strove to establish a system that would protect the inherent rights and freedoms of every citizen. Alas, the path you have chosen has veered far from the vision of our Founding Fathers. The unchecked expansion of federal authority and the proliferation of bureaucracies have encroached upon the sovereignty of the states and the autonomy of the people.

86 "15.8 Billion was used to bail out JUST 10 ACCOUNTS. "

Many of those weren't even American accounts.

87 Turns out 13.3 Billion of the 15.8 Billion was used to bail out JUST 10 ACCOUNTS. None of which needed bailing out, because SVB carried only a fraction of their wealth.

@317

>>What would we have said if Hillary on a hidden camera was waving around classified material and showing it to random people without clearance and bragged she wasnt allowed to have it?

1. Hillary was never President so did not have the powers of The Unitary Executive.

B. All papers Trump took with him were ipso-facto his papers and can be thought of as de-classified at the moment he took them.

III. We have no idea what the alleged papers are but it essentially does not matter, see 1 and B.

The bottom line is the best analysis of this bullshit was by Robert Barnes when he was on Viva Frei.

You should have a look, it will open your eyes, or not.

I can think of a perfectly reasonable explanation for the audio. Trump is using some random document to joke that he's got secret information that will win his case. He then pivots to another joke that it's classified information though, and now he can't use it in the trial.

I'm sure everyone here has used this joke when they're prepping for something.

GOP presidential candidate @RonDeSantis says under his administration, he would change rules of engagement to allow for deadly force to be used against illegal immigrants cutting through border wall.
“If you drop a couple of these cartel operatives, they’ll stop coming.”
DeSantis equated the idea to someone breaking into your house and being able to use force against them. He said the same standard should apply to those who are breaking into the country.
