CCPO Note of 24 September 2023: The “Twitter Files” reveal the extent to which our government illegally colluded with big tech and social media companies to censor information about effective early treatment strategies for COVID-19 and adverse effects associated with the COVID-19 injection. This article, published nearly one year ago, exposes our government’s plans to expand their illegal censorship of all viewpoints that run counter to the official narrative. We see these censorship networks being put in place today, for example see: “USSOCOM to Use AI to Detect Disinformation Threats on Social Media” (thedefensepost.com/2023/08/31/ussocom-ai-disinformation-social-media/); “YouTube Announces New Policies to Target Medical Misinformation” (thehill.com/policy/technology/4153540-youtube-announces-new-policies-to-target-medical-misinformation/) and “Direct Government Censorship of The Internet Is Here & It’s Going to Get Worse” (prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=6332). See also “The U.S. Government Is Building a Vast Surveillance and Speech Suppression Web Around Every American,” with CCPO note, posted at calvarypo.org/the-u-s-government-is-building-a-vast-surveillance-and-speech-suppression-web-around-every-american/.
Bible-believers watching the accelerating fulfillment of end times prophecy today can anticipate total censorship of all forms of media; it is a necessary requirement of the soon-coming global police state. Censorship and many other “signs of the times” prove that we are fast approaching a future seven-year period in human history often referred to as the Tribulation Period, during which the antichrist will come to power (Revelation 13). Christians know that Jesus will appear to take us to be with Him before the Tribulation Period. Will you be one? If you are unsure, please see “Normal” isn’t coming back, Jesus is” (calvarypo.org/normal-isnt-coming-back-jesus-is-are-you-ready/) or contact us (calvarypo.org/contact/).
THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY is quietly broadening its efforts to curb speech it considers dangerous, an investigation by The Intercept has found. Years of internal DHS memos, emails, and documents — obtained via leaks and an ongoing lawsuit, as well as public documents — illustrate an expansive effort by the agency to influence tech platforms.
The work, much of which remains unknown to the American public, came into clearer view earlier this year when DHS announced a new “Disinformation Governance Board:” a panel designed to police misinformation (false information spread unintentionally), disinformation (false information spread intentionally), and malinformation (factual information shared, typically out of context, with harmful intent) that allegedly threatens U.S. interests. While the board was widely ridiculed, immediately scaled back, and then shut down within a few months, other initiatives are underway as DHS pivots to monitoring social media now that its original mandate — the war on terror — has been wound down.
