Below is my column in The Hill on the latest release of the Twitter Files and what it suggests about ever-widening scope of possible government censorship efforts.
Here is the column:
An old saying, attributed to Henry David Thoreau, maintains that you do not have to find a trout in your glass to know someone is watering down the milk. This week Americans found a veritable school of trout in their milk — and a demonstration by the Biden administration of why such a gathering of trout is often called a “lie.”
In the 17th release of the “Twitter Files,” journalist Matt Taibbi disclosed that the U.S. government is funding a group that has supported the censorship of dissenting viewpoints on social media, including those of U.S. citizens.
That may sound familiar. Just a few weeks ago, I wrote here that the congressionally created, federally funded National Endowment for Democracy (NED) had supported the British-based Global Disinformation Index (GDI). The index was widely ridiculed for targeting ten conservative and libertarian sites as the most dangerous sources of disinformation; it sought to persuade advertisers to withdraw support for those sites, while listing their most liberal counterparts as among the most trustworthy.
At the time, I noted that the Biden administration had played us for chumps. As we celebrated the demise of the infamous Disinformation Governing Board with its “Disinformation Nanny,” the Biden administration never disclosed a larger censorship program.
Shortly after my column posted in The Hill, the NED wrote to me to say that it was discontinuing support for the GDI. Microsoft also was forced into retreat after it was shown to be pushing the GDI’s biased blacklist.
Again, many celebrated a victory for free speech.
Yet, here we are again staring down at a trout in our milk. This week, Taibbi reported that the State Department’s Global Engagement Center (GEC) may have supported a different disinformation blacklisting operation.
The GEC controversy appears strikingly similar to the one involving the NED. Both have supported third-party organizations that carried out blacklisting. Taibbi contends that the GEC contracted with the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab), which sent suggested blacklists to Twitter; DFRLab says Taibbi’s report is incorrect and that it does not make content moderation decisions.
Yet, even Twitter censors reportedly balked at the size of the suggested blacklists and lack of supporting evidence. One list submitted by the GEC included several CNN journalists and Western government accounts, according to Taibbi.
Twitter’s Patrick Conlon reportedly mocked the list by referring to network anchor Anderson Cooper, joking: “Not exactly Anderson’s besties, but CNN assets if you will.” Yoel Roth, then Twitter’s head of trust and safety, responded “omg” and “what a total crock.”
It would be funny except for the fact that we know Twitter has admitted censoring many of those targeted by the government.
Still, many congressional Democrats continue to oppose efforts to investigate government censorship efforts, unleashing a type of Red Scare 2.0 by accusing critics of supporting insurrectionists or being “Putin lovers.” Others have simply insisted that if you see a trout in your milk, it is just your opinion.
When I testified at a recent hearing on the Twitter Files, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) criticized me for offering “legal opinions” without actually working at Twitter. As I have noted, it is like saying that a witness should not discuss the contents of the Pentagon Papers unless he worked at the Pentagon. It was particularly bizarre because the content of the Twitter Files — like the Pentagon Papers — are “facts.” The implication of those facts are opinions.
Twitter is confirming these emails from the government — so we are not imagining trout.
“Opinion” is what we should do about it. While insisting there is nothing to “factually” see here, Democrats insist on remaining willfully blind. Rather than investigate the full scope of the government’s insular censorship programs and efforts, we are told to trust the government. In the meantime, we are left with the same game of whack-a-mole: We strike down a Disinformation Board, and a Disinformation Index pops up … we strike down a Disinformation Index, and a disinformation blacklisting appears.
Using third-party groups gives the government added cover — to a degree. The government is not allowed to engage in censorship, but Twitter has shown that censorship-by-surrogate has its own potential risks, including the possible legal status of a company as an agent of the government. While Twitter, as a private company, is not controlled by the First Amendment, it can become an agent of the government and trigger constitutional protections.
As with intelligence operations, censorship programs are best carried out behind layers of third-party groups. We do not know the full extent of the government’s knowledge of the latest blacklisting operation to be disclosed, or any similar projects. But polls have shown that the public wants an investigation despite Democrats repeatedly blocking such efforts.
The most chilling aspect of these latest two controversies is that they involve blacklisting of individuals and groups. We have citizens who were unaware that their government was flagging them to be silenced or suspended from sharing their views on subjects ranging from Indian corruption to COVID to election fraud.
The latest Twitter Files release suggests the Biden administration may have seeded various groups to help it censor by surrogate. We still have no idea how extensive the federal funding and support for censorship has been. Right now, however, it is beginning to look like we have more trout than milk in our glasses.

Svelaz-Democrat operative!
Hullbobby, actually I’m a registered Republican. Go figure.
But is it a rainbow trout or a brook trout?
They smell the same.
Not when cooked over a campfire. 🙂
More like a Cut Throat!
“The GEC controversy appears strikingly similar to the one involving the NED.”
There’s a reason why scam call centers use folding tables and chairs, and use business signs scrawled on cardboard with a black marker. They get busted, fold up the furniture, toss the sign — get a fresh piece of cardboard, and set up shop elsewhere.
There’s also a reason why criminal operations use “legitimate” businesses as a front (what JT calls “proxy censorship”). When confronted, the criminal gang can claim: “plausible deniability.”
This game of censorship whac-a-mole will continue forever, until cultural leaders and politicians get serious about the value of free speech.
It’s never just as it appears on the surface.
The drivers are always sinister, and much is governmental.
The GEC is a bipartisan creation in the wake of the Russian interference in our elections in 2016, both Republican democratic members voted for the legislation which was originally called, “Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act”.
There was and is still ample reason to have it apparently. Rep. Matt Gaetz recently got caught pushing Chinese propaganda at a hearing when he was reading directly from a Chinese newspaper making claims that were not being made by the U.S. media.
The GEC, lists potential threats of misinformation and propaganda from foreign governments and that includes social media which was effectively used by the Russians to meddle in our elections in 2016.
Knowing how gullible people are on social media it wouldn’t be surprising that a lot of information they “learn” from facebook and twitter is deemed factual because their peers share that information thinking it’s legitimate. That’s how BS stories about voter fraud and Trump’s lying spread so fast. Foreign governments have learned to exploit that to their advantage. That is the purpose of the GEC and to some extent the GDI.
We know that Fox News is more concerned about the ire and toxic anger from their gullible viewers than the truth. In reality Fox News is quite cowardly and they have more fear of losing their audience and “tarnishing” their brand by telling the truth. Does that mean their brand is lying to their viewers because they can’t handle the truth?
Take a note, a trout is speaking
A Democrat operative would say!
HullBobby,
“A non-thinking, reliant on talking points issued to him daily from the DNC home office, Democrat operative would say . . . “
Upstate, sorry to disappoint, but I’m a registered Republican, have been for nearly 10 years. I’m also a member of the pachyderm club. We meet once a week.
The GEC is a bipartisan creation in the wake of the Russian interference in our elections in 2016,
There’s you problem. You believe what the govt told you. But there was never any Russian interference found. Just ask Mueller.
Mueller found evidence of Russian meddling and influence peddling on social media. In fact Mueller indicted in absentia a bunch of Russian hackers who DID spread misinformation on social media.
Mueller indicted in absentia a bunch of Russian hackers who DID spread misinformation on social media
Indictments that would never be tested in court. Any crooked prosecutor can get any indictment. There is zero meaningful disagreement about that fact.
BUT Muellers phony indictments did get responded to in a US Court Room. One of the Russian defendents did show up in court to answer the indictment. Mueller was flabbergasted and asked the Judge for a lengthy continence, in order to prepare a case. The Judge had to explain how the American Judicial system operated. When the govt files an indictment, that is signaling the Prosecution was ready to procede to trial.
Mueller was forced to withdraw all charges.
The world is still waiting for evidence. Because what pressed, Mueller produced Zero.
Yet another example you, believing a government lie.
stuffed in under the NDAA, so bipartisan doesn’t count
“co-sponsors included Congressmen Adam Kinzinger (R, IL) and Ted Lieu (D, CA). ”
LOL
I count 8 left wing talking points from your single post svelaz.
If you are registered republican you’re a commie infiltrator, a spy.
I don’t believe anything you typed there, it appears to be 100% trolling though, so who cares what you do. No one I’d say.
“Others have simply insisted that if you see a trout in your milk, it is just your opinion.” That is what the prog/left thives on – implications and obfuscations. Don’t believe your lying eyes, just listen to the “truth” eminating from the prog/left media, academia, bureaucracy, elected officials… Buy into the lie or we will make your life miserable.
Turley has a nasty habit of being disingenuous with his “reporting” or “analysis”. For example he claims the GDI which is an index made up of sites or organizations that have a history of spreading misinformation is just that an index. Yet he claims it somehow forces advertising companies to avoid those site. Nothing could be further from the truth. All it does is nothing more than offer information that any advertising company can choose to use or not. It’s no different than any other of the myriad indexes that conservative sites like the Heritage foundation or the Enterprise institute provide. They have “freedom indexes” and “economic freedom” indexes used to show which legislators or states have the most liberal policies or which have higher numbers of liberal lawmakers, etc. All are designed to imply where businesses would be better off setting up shop and that implied suggestion meaning which states or cities to avoid. This is exactly what the GDI does and it’s perfectly legitimate means of offer information to anyone.
The GEC is a much older organization created to stymie any attempts by foreign governments or outfits from spreading harmful misinformation that can harm or undermine other governments or organizations. All they do is monitor it and create potential actors. They don’t censor or tell anyone to censor. The DFRlab, does NOT direct anyone to censor anything. Just like the GDI all they provide is a list of potential or known sources of misinformation and give relevant organizations a heads up about it.
“When an investigation necessitates it, the DFRLab shares our findings with social media platforms to help ensure our research is accurate,” the statement said. “However, when we share initial research with any outside expert, especially those at platforms, there is no expectation that they will take action. The DFRLab does not make content moderation decisions.”
Just like with the FBI. All they do is point out findings and let social media who by the way has every legal right to censor something that violates their policies or U.S. laws. They are STILL ultimately the ones who get to decide on whether to censor or not. Turley keeps forgetting that it was the Trump administration that engaged in direct calls to censor comments and content on twitter. Turley was dead silent on that when it was occurring and still is. Those who are “investigating” government censorship “by surrogate” are the very same people who three years ago were demanding twitter take town content that was disparaging them. Turley ever rose to the defense of twitter or praised twitter for refusing to bow to their demands.
‘[Svelaz] has a nasty habit of being disingenuous with his “reporting” or “analysis”.’ In his comment just below @ 10:14, he notes how Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) criticized Turley for never having worked for Twitter. Moreover, says Svelaz, “No, she exposed [him] on the fact that [he] is not an expert on how twitter works.” Svelaz, like his counterparts, conveniently left out that NONE of the other members on that panel appear to have worked at Twitter.
“Sigh, [Svelaz] sure loves to spin a good yarn…”
(Moreover, Svelaz says, “he [Turley] claims it [GDI] somehow forces advertising companies…Nothing could be further from the truth”
What Prof. Turley actually, verbatim, said was, “it sought to persuade advertisers…” (do you see the word “force” anywhere?)
Who was telling the truth, Svelaz or the professor?
What if Svelaz was a contributing writer/reporter for WaPo or NYT?
See how language is used for disinformation and propaganda?
Lin, Turley saying the GDI sought to persuade advertisers is NOT what they are doing. All they are do is post an index where anyone can use. It’s entirely up to the advertisers to choose what to do with the information. Turley is falsely implying that they are being somehow coerced or persuaded not to advertise. THAT is the distinction. It’s no different than an index from conservative sites that anyone can look at and come up with their own conclusion.
The professor was being disingenuous with the facts. Because he was implying something that is not true.
S., you are a malcontent and ridiculous.
lin,
illiterate and innumerate
Svelaz just spits out talking points. His vocabulary is grade school at best. We know he’s a troll and cares not, for the truth. But his illiteracy and innumeracy, add a level of cluelessness that is noticeable.
Lin, that’s the point. They were called on to testify as experts. Turley is no expert but all the had to go with is that he “read the twitter files”. That doesn’t give him any special insight on why twitter made the decisions they are being investigated on.
All he is offering is his biased opinion based on what he read on the twitter files. The people who actually worked there stated under oath that they were not censoring on behalf of the government. All the witnesses including Turley only offered speculation and mere opinion. That was it. Nothing substantial that would have been helpful if they knew how twitter works when ti comes to content moderation.
It is not spin. It is regurgitation. Svelaz doesn’t have the capability of performing spin.
S. Meyer, all you have are insults. That’s pretty sad actually.
This insult wasn’t an insult by Essmyer. Do you think he is the only one to recognize your stupidity? She uses that word frequently, but it is the most applicable word when dealing with you.
You talk a lot like S. Meyer, She is often insulting others because she doesn’t have any arguments with any substance.
I take that as a compliment, but since it comes from a guy who knows almost nothing the compliment is meaningless.
Maybe if you didn’t act so stupid, you wouldn’t get all this criticism.
Yet he claims it somehow forces advertising companies
Early on and you puke up your first lie. Turley never made any claim of “forcing” anyone.
Also notice you lengthy spew is devoid of links to evidence.
Iowan2, read for comprehension. Turley said the GDI coerces advertisers to avoid certain organizations. It does none of that. All they do is post an index. The rest is up to whoever looks into it.
Iowan2, read for comprehension
Says the illiterate, and innumerate.
Pedantry fail. Coerce, force, all the same. But like always, your evidence is not here.
Svelaz: thank you. Note at the beginning of today’s purchased piece, Turley qualifies what he says as: “POSSIBLE government censorship efforts”. Turley’s piece is misleading, at best, as you so aptly point out. Meanwhile, in other propaganda and Republican lying news, CNN fact-checked some of Trump’s drivel at CPAC which I offer here because the disciples won’t see this anywhere else on their alt-right media:
Trump is known for hyperbole and exaggerations, but in the part of his speech about crime in New York City, Trump claimed, “killings are taking place at a number like nobody’s ever seen, right in Manhattan.” Dale explained, “it isn’t even close.”
In 2022, by this time, there were 43. In 1990 there were 379. In total in 2022, there were 438 homicides, and in 1990 there were 2,252, CNN cited.
Trump is still desperately trying to win his attacks on the late George Floyd, who was murdered by police officers in Minneapolis in 2020, leading to a summer of protests and outrage around the country.
According to Trump, he almost sent the National Guard into Seattle. Then he pivoted to claim he saved Minneapolis.
“The thing is, we’re not supposed to do that,” Trump told the audience. “Because it’s up to the governor, the Democrat governor. They never want any help. They don’t mind – it’s almost like they don’t mind to have their cities and states destroyed. There’s something wrong with these people.”
Dale called this an outright “reversal of reality.” Gov. Tim Walz deployed the Minnesota National Guard, not Trump. Trump wouldn’t have been legally able to deploy a state guard, only a national guard to “suppress civil disorder, insurrection, or rebellion,” according to the Insurrection Act of 1807.
Then Trump claimed he passed and signed an executive order. Executive orders aren’t passed, just signed, which is why they’re called “executive” orders. Trump claimed that it made a mandatory minimum of 10 years in jail for anyone who destroys a monument or statue.
Trump then fact-checked himself: “it’s not ’10’ but it turns into three months.”
He reiterated again that they “passed it,” and again, executive orders aren’t passed. Then claimed that it wasn’t passed, it was a law they “found.”
“It was a very old law, and we found it – one of my very good legal people along with [adviser] Stephen Miller, they found it.” rambled Trump. “They said, ‘Sir, I don’t know if you want to try and bring this back.’ I said. ‘I do.’”
As it turns out, Trump’s executive order didn’t even increase the sentence.
During his four years in office, Trump lied over 30,500 times, the Washington Post calculated.
He went on to claim that there weren’t even storefronts in Portland, Oregon anymore because stores keep being “burned down every week.” While the downtown area has struggled with commercial vacancies, Dale called it a “major exaggeration.” Due to COVID-19, there have been a number of downtown areas that have faltered because so many companies realized they could move to virtual work. That means lower traffic in the area, killing restaurants, bars and shops.
There were a slew of lies about Russia, Ukraine, and NATO, namely that he made other countries pay into NATO, and before they were “delinquent.” It’s a lie he’s repeated for years. While it’s something he’s ranted about for some time, there were always other countries paying into NATO. Not everyone is meeting the target and Trump never changed that. The goal set by NATO in 2014 was to reach a 2 percent GDP in 10 years. He also lied that NATO spent $3 billion on it’s headquarters. While it was pricey to buy an entire building in Belgium, it was less than half of Trump’s claim.
“Actually, NATO wouldn’t even exist if I didn’t get them to pay up,” Trump claimed. In reality, aides revealed in 2019 that Trump tried to withdraw the United States from NATO.
There were rants about things Trump said “nobody ever heard of” before he came along, false comments that Joe Biden tried to bribe Ukraine. Then a wildly false claim that he had the “greatest jobs history of any president ever,” when he actually had the worst jobs record for any president ever. There were lies about China.
ISIS, Afghanistan, his so-called border wall, deportations, and of course, his 2020 election “win.”
Read the full report at CNN.com.
Note the FBI coercion of the MSM to steal the election from Real President Donald J. Trump.
Gigi – the autopsy report of George Floyd by Dr. Baker found that he had fentanyl levels of 11 mg,, as to which Baker said: “If he were found dead at home alone,{and} no other apparent csuses, this could be acceptable to call an OD”. https://www.mncourts.gov/mncourtsgov/media/High-Profile-Cases/27-CR-20-12646/ExhibitMtD08282020.pdf It will be recalled that Floyd said he was having trouble breathing before Derek Chauvin ever came onto the scene. https://www. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/george-floyd-told-police-he-was-struggling-breathe-officer-put-n1218556 “When people overdose on fentanyl, their breathing can slow or stop.” nida.nih.gov/publications/drugfacts/fentanyl#:~:text=When%20people%20overdose%20on%20fentanyl,brain%20damage%2C%20 and%20even%20death.
“l levels of 11 mg,”
Gigi probably approaches that level.
“When I testified at a recent hearing on the Twitter Files, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) criticized me for offering “legal opinions” without actually working at Twitter.”
No, she exposed you on the fact that you are not an expert on how twitter works. Just because you read the twitter files does not make you an expert on the inner workings of twitter and to opine about it’s internal operations. Legal analysis IS merely opinion and your opinion is based on mischaracterizing what the twitter files are saying. We don’t know if the content of the twitter files are being cherry picked and given to one reporter to disseminate purely to keep a biased narrative going.
Sigh, Turlet sure loves to spin a good yarn to rile up his MAGA base and the regularly gullible.
“No, she exposed you on the fact that you are not an expert on how twitter works.”
What a dope. Talking about being exposed. Where is your expertise? Zero. Where is your knowledge. Zero. You were exposed long ago as a non-thinking humanoid.
The “humanoid” part is still uncertain.
Anonymous, I never claimed to be an expert. Why would I claim that? Turley was called on to make opinions about twitter’s content moderation based on the twitter files. The fact that he didn’t work for twitter doesn’t offer any substantive “legal analysis” and he was only there to sell his credibility.
You really are dense. Jonathan Turley is an expert on the law. That you can’t see this, demonstrates a comprehension level of an ant.
Anonymous, he wasn’t offering his “legal analysis” about twitter’s policies. He was just offering his opinion based on the twitter files. The hearing was about twitter and it’s content moderation policies which he has no expertise in.
“content moderation policies which he has no expertise in.”
Obtuse. Content moderation by the old twitter had to do with freedom of speech. Turley’s expertise involves freedom of speech.
You are dense. If you believe what you write, you are in deep trouble.
I watched the hearing. You are wrong about what the disgraced congresswoman from FL said about Mr Turley. He has written about it accurately more than once.
What do you expect from a trout especially one that goes by the name of scelaz.
LOL! Nope. He was written disingenuously about the issue. I would hardly call it “accurate”.
Let’s all contribute to Svelaz so he can purchase a thesaurus. “Disingenuous” is getting a little, ….well, speaking of ‘watered down…..”
Lin. Falling back to insults and ad hominems? I though you were better than that.
You need a thesaurus but more important you have to learn how to read and comprehend. Most of what you say is untrue or ridiculous.
Svelaz: Satirical parody is neither insulting nor an ad hominem. Go back and read my comments. And as for your need for a thesaurus, I truly believe you need one, -no insult intended. If you are not emulating others’ comments and/or copy-catting their words that you like, you are reverting back to using “disingenuous” and hurling insults (lately at iowan2 and s. meyer). Further, I can easily discern when you post anonymously. Respectfully, perhaps you are the one who needs to read with more comprehension, instead of telling others to do so; you often misuse terms and phrases. Thanks for reading this.
speculating based on available information – Svelaz can not read, and can not comprehend what he reads.
The woke left/deep state is making sure that they have a vast network of surrogates and 501(c)(3) groups to carry on their not-so-hidden censorship agenda. Thank you, Jonathan, for an excellent article.
Debbie Wasserman-Schulz is an idiot. I believe that Democratic members of the committee are handed a list of questions they are to ask. Watching these hearings just goes to show that they aren’t interested in getting to the bottom of these things, but are there only to throw up smoke screens to hide what they did
How much more evidence do we need to observe that if left to the own devices, the Biden Administration along with the Democratic Party would dearly love to run America as XI runs China. They are authoritarians with no respect for the liberties granted by the Constitution. They care for nothing but perpetual power and they don’t care who is harmed whether the victims are raped migrants from Central America or miseducation of young African Americans who in places like Baltimore are unable to read or write or do math. The democratic party is all about breaking eggs to make omelets
AlanK,
Well said.
However, I think they might show us the egg shells, and tell us they are made an omelet, but we can clearly see it is a trout.
We are seeing through their misinformation, disinformation and lies.
Yesterday, the good professor exposed for us the depth of effort behind “Mary Poppin” Nina Jankowicz’s role in Biden’s Disinformation Government Board administration. After it was quietly dismantled following public push-back, Jankowicz relocated her efforts to Britain, -to wit, the UK-funded “Centre for Information Resilience (CIR)”
The CIR describes itself as “an independent, non-profit initiative dedicated to building a global coalition to identify, counter and expose information operations. Our mission is to raise awareness of the threat to democracy and objective truth from information operations, including #disinformation, and help to counter it.
“The CIR…works to raise awareness among policymakers, journalists and the public of the risks posed by information operations by hostile actors including states and “domestic disinformers”. Once identified, the CIR works with a global network of partners to counter these threats to democracy.
“The CIR fulfils its mission through three strands – programmes, the media hub and our Resilience Network. We are a collective initiative with global ambitions: we aim to work with partners including civil society, the media, grassroots organisations, academia and democratic governments to coordinate activities.”
https://www.linkedin.com/company/centre-for-information-resilience?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fduckduckgo.com%2F
Read carefully the last paragraph above. Notice the CIR coordination with “the media” and “academia” and “governments.”
-Precisely the penetrative and infiltrating effort that we have so often discussed here.–And the bad guys are always characterized as “threats to democracy,” -(saving ‘democracy’ being such a triggering idea to denote a worthy, justified cause…..)
Since they don’t have to worry about losing elections anymore, they no longer have to worry about what the public demands.
Of note, since Twitter has left the world of darkness and emerged into the light, all of these non governmental assets and corporations are trying to silence the new Twitter. Just last week, Elon Musk revealed that Apple is threatening to drop Twitter from the Apple Store. This is the same sort of of action taken taken by Apple and Google to drop Parler from the stores of Apple and Android and then when Parler tried to run on the internet as a site, Amazon dropped then from from Amazon Internet Services so they could not even function as an internet site. Same playbook. YouTube has done the same thing to many sites that do not hue to the Party line or simply demonetizes them and drives them out of business. At least now with Rumble, there is increased growth at Rumble every time YouTube tries another purge.
These are not business decisions but are purely political and conspiracies. I would hope that state Attorney Generals are paying attention and start going after these groups. One suspects that this is all stage managed from the White House or others who do their bidding.
progressive clowns are not willfully blind, they are stupid.
“……many congressional Democrats continue to oppose efforts to investigate government censorship efforts…..”
That tells us both the cause of the problem and its solution. Use your vote to act upon it.
bigger question why aren’t the Bidens in jail for their numerous bribery deals? Why aren’t Obama, Hillary and every below them in Jail for the Russian Hoax….the biggest crime in American History?
The ”Democrats” aren’t turning a blind eye, they are willful co-conspirators!
The Democrats, who I no longer trust want me to believe a government that I don’t trust. Ha, ha, NO.
The fact that both don’r want an investigation and the Democrats keep obstructing indicates that the trout in the milk stinks from the head down.
it is time to tax all non-profits where anyone gets more than $100k. Also cut 50% of Fed Spending and move 75% of fed gov. out of DC
Democrats are fascists using every level of power across gov, media, education, healthcare, business…to destroy opponents! We need to CUT OFF THE MONEY SUPPLY!
