The idea that governments worldwide are working together to censor their citizens sounds like a conspiracy theory, but it's not. It's increasingly clear that there is just such an organized effort involving, at a minimum, the US, Canada, UK, & New Zealand.
Consider: the U.S. government worked with private sector partner The Atlantic Council to censor ordinary Americans; UK police visit people who post wrongspeak; Canada is seeking greater censorship; and the former PM of NZ is leaving the government to do censorship full-time.
Now, new documents have surfaced showing a censorship effort in U.S.-allied nation that are eerily similar to the ones created in the U.S.

We are working on a major story about this.

If you are a whistleblower, please DM me

We follow the Pentagon Papers Principle.

We will go to prison for our sources.

The regime media cannot be trusted. They are more likely to hunt down than help whistleblowers.
If you work for an organization "fighting mis- and disinformation," you may be involved in illegal activity

Whether you live in the US, Canada, UK, NZ or some other nation, please act on your ethical duty & blow the whistle on the self-appointed censors

It may seem odd that tiny New Zealand is playing a major role in the Censorship Industrial Complex, but it's both a major U.S. nat sec ally & Woke, which allows for censorship by appeals to "preventing harm," the core value of victimhood ideology

In her video for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, CIA Fellow Renee DiResta makes the case for censorship to prevent "harm," including "delegitimizing institutions," a term so expansive as to effectively justify the censorship of anything.

Subscribers can watch here:… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Renee DiResta: "Our joint objective is to mitigate the impact of harmful misinformation, particularly that which is aimed at weakening our national security through efforts aimed at de-legitimizing our institutions, including democratic elections."

Under such a mandate,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The publics in US, UK, Canada, NZ and other nations aren't going to put up with a bunch of self-appointed government spooks and censorship Karens censoring us.

"We're not gonna do it, lady. We don't want it."
We can't do it alone.

People think it’s cruel to arrest people whose addiction has led them to break the law, but it’s not. It’s often exactly what they need to get into treatment, say a growing number of recovering homeless addicts including @MetaGrift

nypost.com/2023/04/15/how…
“For some who can’t quit, who destroy their relationships with family & friends and regularly break laws to feed their addiction, radical courses of action must be considered. And, as my experience illustrates, to arrest the addiction, addicts may literally need to be arrested.”
I can’t wait to read your memoir, Jared! ❤️🔥✊🏼 Image

Twitter & Facebook had effectively zero innovation in publishing over the last 10 years, and so @lwoodhouse & I are happy to see Twitter allow full-length videos, formatted articles, and subscriber-only content. We are excited to make the most of it!

From now on, you can access subscriber-only content from us on Twitter, including our new, full-length documentary video exposing how a CIA Fellow led the US government's effort to censor millions of Americans online:

We believe Twitter's innovations are exciting because, from a publishing point of view, Twitter and Facebook have been stagnant for over a decade.

Facebook invested $36 billion into a creepy virtual reality experiment, “Metaverse,” that couldn’t even put legs on its avatars. It… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

We thought we lived in a free country. In truth, a CIA "fellow" led a secret effort from 2020-2021 to censor millions of people online and institutionalize it in 2022 at the Department of Homeland Security as a "Disinformation Governance Board."

public.substack.com/p/inside-the-c…
People wonder who had the terrible idea to have a "Disinfo Governance Board" censor the American people. The answer is @noUpside She boasts of her proposal in this little-seen video for @CISAgov, which they made to normalize something sinister.

People may rightly wonder how a little-known researcher became so powerful. We wondered too. Check out our report on the rise of DiResta to become the intellectual godmother of the Censorship Industrial Complex.

“‘Rachel’ started taking puberty blockers at 14... testosterone shortly after… breasts removed at 16… womb removed at 18… By age 22, she was ‘swamped by regret’… ‘With time I could have lived happily as a masculine lesbian woman.’”

“I was prescribed testosterone in 2010... My doctors did not do a fulsome screening of me for other mental health diagnoses or developmental disabilities. In 2012 I paid to have my breasts removed….What happened to me should never happen again”

Please keep an eye on this organization. Follow them. They are working to censor @jordanbpeterson @BjornLomborg @AlexEpstein and me. They are spreading lies about us to news media and social media platforms around the world. They are creepy and dangerous.
.@MikeBenzCyber can share more info on them
You can “build resilience” to “protect yourself from disinformation” spread by censorship Karens like @ISDglobal by asking questions like this one

BBC reporter claims there’s more “hateful” content on Twitter since takeover by @elonmusk but can’t give a single example. Amazing exchange.

Similarly, this “think tank” claims there’s more “climate denial” on Twitter since Musk took over. The proof? That @jordanbpeterson @BjornLomborg @AlexEpstein & I, who are not “climate deniers,” have increased our follower count.
The most important thing to know about the members of the Censorship Industrial Complex — beta “journalists,” yes-men, and government bureaucrats, — is that they are liars. They denounce any opinion they disagree with as “racist,” “climate denialism,” and “transphobic.”
