“It was reported Friday that President Donald Trump has put several officials from the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on administrative leave. These officials ran government censorship efforts related to covering up the truth, promoting fallacies and espousing the lying liberal narrative. These activities are referred to as ‘combating disinformation’ by the establishment Left.
“The Trump administration has moved to push out a swathe of federal workers previously involved in combating election-related disinformation, according to three people familiar with the matter, amid allegations from congressional Republicans that their work unfairly targeted conservative speech online,” Politico said Friday. “Roughly half a dozen employees from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency who once worked in its Election Security and Resilience division were notified Thursday night they were being put on administrative leave, said the three people, who were granted anonymity to discuss sensitive personnel matters.”
In 2023 Sen. Rand Paul accused the government of running censorship operations against the American people in violation of the First Amendment.
“Senator Paul’s has expressed his adamant opposition to legislation that bolsters the powers of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its associate body, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). There have been instances where these organizations were implicated in attempts to suppress American citizens’ freedom of expression, the Senator has contended passionately,” Reclaim The Net said in 2023.
These censorship operations often included flagging, removing, deplatforming and other anti-free speech activities intended to keep the American people dumb about issues critical to the power structure, particularly the Covid Plandemic, the Fauci Flu shot lethal Covid injection and Democrat election fraud in the 2020 stolen presidential race.
That is what ‘combatting disinformation’ actually means.
“But critics have for years insisted that the actual result was First Amendment violations, through the exertion of control over speech and therefore public opinion ahead of an election (such as the discrediting of the Hunter Biden laptop story as ‘misinformation’ and an example of supposed foreign interference),” Reclaim The Net said Monday. “And, the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) by all accounts ‘excelled’ at this work.”
Perhaps the most notable example of this which has been well documented is that of the Hunter Biden Laptop From Hell – a laptop belonging to the Biden son which was left at a computer repair shop that was allegedly found to contain information of the politician’s son committing treason and pedophilic acts, according to reports.
These efforts were ramped up ahead of the 2024 election once again, however it was not enough to sway the election away from a Trump victory.
