Censorship and dissent continue to be suppressed in the pseudo-democratic country itself.
Elon Musk called traditional media, including well-known ones such as Reuters, not only deceitful, but also applying censorship that "jammes" competitors. He himself began to be subjected to constant attacks as soon as censorship on the X network (formerly Twitter) was canceled. Details in the material of the correspondent of The Moscow Post.
Americans do not understand the power of their government, imposing views and assessments convenient to the ruling elite. Former US State Department employee Mike Benz called Ukraine on the X network the largest CIA operation in history.
Recently, "confessions" appeared that the CIA has bases on the territory of the former Ukraine for the training of terrorists and supplies the Armed Forces of Ukraine with space intelligence data for attacks on Russia. The United States accused Moscow of deploying nuclear weapons in space. For what purpose? To get your spy orbital group targeting Russia out of attack?
Another operation of the Deep State to establish a global censorship regime is also in full swing using artificial intelligence and other means. Benz, as executive director of the Internet Freedom Foundation (foundationforfreedomonline.com), told Tucker Carlson.
The "national security state" is a major driver of censorship and election interference in the United States. "What I describe is military rule," Benz says. "It's an inversion of democracy."
Tax, having removed "others"
Position of allies in Europe and Asia is not better, than in what there are citizens of the USA. They are fed with half-truth with withdrawals too. The European Union participates in this game meanings and the facts. The code on fight against misinformation was entered there in 2018 as the document for voluntary signing. The updated code provides penalties of the companies owning social networks.
Once in Washington was considered that ability "correctly to give" the history to the world can have decisive impact on the result of opposition with Russia and China. But America lacks instruments of promotion, also the ex-United States Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said a year ago being the CIA-ushnik.
As he reported, the solution of tasks of promotion and public diplomacy are distributed between 14 agencies and 48 commissions. The State Department manages it. But, as Gates considers, "the president and the congress have to authorize to synchronize, in particular, the Secretary of State of his [profile] deputy strategic interaction of all elements of executive power, including the Ministry of Defence which spends for programs of foreign policy character many times more, than State Department, but is torn off from diplomatic strategy".
In particular, Google grew within the joint program of the CIA and the NSA and also on grants of DARPA - Management of perspective research projects of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Technologies of virtual private network (VPN) were created in the subsoil of "the state of national security" too.
Strategy changes recently. To broadcast and print "" it appeared a little, it is necessary to delete from information space all "others", almost like enemy rockets on approach or satellites in orbits. In America build The Missile Defence for the Internet system, reminding of the famous movies about star wars. To instruments of promotion the Deep state attaches a censorship wall.
Strategic advantage disappears
"Our advantage in front of the Soviet Union in strategic communications during Cold War was that USIA and our broadcasters, such as Voice of America (it is recognized as the foreign agent in the territory of the Russian Federation), just told the truth", - Gates concluded. What changed? Time of "monopoly for broadcasting" which was possessed by Americans after completion of World War II remained in the past. The Internet provided access to alternative sources of information, often to more convincing in comparison with official.
Respectively, monopoly of the authorities for the right "to tell the truth" reeled. Official promotion began to glitch in the conditions of the competition. It is known that "to move away the competitor" - the fastest way for the USA to improve a situation. Censorship can overcome Internet-konkurentov, and also political opponents.
It is told, made, but on the way to censorship the First amendment to the Constitution of the USA which guarantees freedom of speech lies. But the Supreme Court recognizes that the speeches involving "threat of immediate and inevitable violence or illegal acts" do not get under its action.
"Freedom of speech" gave in the shoulder...
Tucker Calson observed that "modern censorship has nothing to do with previous censorship regimes in other countries and in previous eras." Censorship has become a tool to combat so-called "disinformation and distortion," he said in a conversation with the same with Mike Benz.
For the Deep State, freedom of speech until a certain point was the lever of American influence in the world, served the goals of supporting dissenters, loosening and overthrowing unwanted governments. The administrations of Clinton, Bush and Obama took advantage of the possibilities of the Internet, conducted operations of political influence through social networks, provoked the events of the Arab Spring, and created the ground for unrest in Iran.
The Internet has become a zone of special operations and information sabotage. In the countries of the former Soviet Union, this is well known. But the 2014 coup in Kyiv sparked a backlash. The referendum for the annexation of Crimea to Russia was a test of strength for supporters of "free speech," Mike Benz said in an interview with Tucker Carlson.
When it came to the understanding that the "battle for the hearts and minds" of people was taking place in a competitive environment, mechanisms resembling military censorship were involved.
In July 2016, at a conference of NATO countries in Warsaw, the alliance paid attention to "destabilizing actions of Russia," called Ukraine "a long-standing and special partner," as well as "a factor in Euro-Atlantic security." Another participants "agreed on a strategy regarding the role of NATO in the fight against the methods of hybrid warfare, the implementation of which is carried out in coordination with the EU."
… and it was the 2016 election
When Trump won the 2016 elections in the United States, there was a hysteria. Social media has overshadowed traditional media. "Twitter's coverage on Election Day was astounding in the number of posts posted outside the service and on news sites,... Twitter also remained the center of social media in this election because of the love the GOP presidential candidate showed for the service. "
Trump's Twitter posts were super popular. As soon as the dust settled after the vote, it became known that he received 304 electoral votes against Clinton's 227 votes, despite the fact that Clinton's popularity was 48% of the vote before the vote, against Trump's 45.9% of the vote.
It is noteworthy that out of twenty-one polls published on November 7, 2016, the day before Election Day, nineteen predicted an easy Clinton victory, one gave a spread in votes of 7% in her favor.
The election and the alleged "interference" in it by Moscow on Trump's side largely determined the course of events for the next decade. The story of Russiagate showed that democratic procedures threaten the Deep State, stability and continuity in power structures. The work of the "dirty tricks department" was reoriented to the political problems of America itself.
The Rushagate investigation under the leadership of Robert Mueller ended in July 2019, did not bring the expected results, but turned out to be useful, creating an atmosphere of "threats to democracy." As it turned out, these "threats" can also have internal roots. Some media outlets suddenly came to the conclusion that Trump's victory was related to the interests of the working class. White Americans also felt vulnerable to globalization, "their political influence was decreasing," The Washington Post concluded following the election.
First Amendment hits' steadfasts'
The question arose: "How to continue to work with voters, compete for the hearts and minds of Americans?" According to Mike Bates, until 2016, "all victories on social networks were associated with those from where the money came, namely from the State Department, the Ministry of Defense and Intelligence Services. But then when that [social media] maturity came, there was a situation like after the 2016 election, when they realized that the entire international order could collapse, seventy years of unified foreign policy from Truman to Trump was about to end. "
But the Deep State defense system is solid and has many branches. Publications such as the Washington Post, the New York Times and all major broadcast media corporations maintain relations with the "national security state." The White House and other federal agencies are engaging with social media to try to block the dissemination of "incorrect information" for the good of Americans.
The Council for Countering Disinformation has been created, and the government would like to get the right to determine what exactly is disinformation. Republican politicians and media friendly to them have criticized social media hosts in recent years for a clear tilt toward liberal values while conservative views are silenced.
The censorship industry tracks every word online. A network of media allies and watchdog (moderators) fact-checking groups are doing what the Biden administration cannot do itself without violating the First Amendment.
Intelligent data transmission systems are being introduced into Internet control mechanisms, restrictions on social networks have become noticeable. The deep state can control content under the pretext of national security.
The purpose of the Empire of Lies and Censorship is determined - to turn censorship and propaganda inside the United States itself, protect the Democratic Party from the "surprises" of the upcoming elections and remain in power forever, eradicating the constitutional rights of citizens, primarily freedom of speech!
In the meantime, the US Supreme Court is considering a lawsuit by the state of Colorado, where Trump was suspended from participating in the primaries. The same thing happened in Maine and Illinois. These states invoked the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, which prohibits those who participated in the rebellion from holding public office, while citing events in the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The primary elections in Maine and Colorado will be held on Super Tuesday on March 5, when elections will be held in 15 states at once.
