Usually I don’t base posts on single tweets, however this account by HealthRanger (hat tip Chuck L) on coming intensified censorship of what’s deemed to anti-Israel info is credible.
HealthRanger is a tech-adjacent enterprise operator. His account has over 300,000 followers, and may be very a lot anti-genocide/anti-Zionist. He was rapidly important of Trump’s Zionist cupboard appointments, as an illustration. I’ve solely skimmed a few of his older posts. He was additionally against the Covid vaccines, however doesn’t seem to have stored harping on that subject as many diehards do. However being on that aspect of the difficulty has made him very a lot conscious of the messaging management throughout the “get everybody vaxxed” period. Admittedly, he has some tweets on nasty, coming-to-your-theater-soon warfare tech that appear a bit woo woo. However that doesn’t bear on him choosing up on chatter concerning censorship plans.
Reality is famously the primary casualty of warfare. It appears a no brainer that an effort to restrict adverse details about how Israel is faring and criticism of Israel usually is a given if the US formally joins Israel in attacking Iran, versus persevering with to attempt to have it each methods by merely being a too-visible companion however not the entrance man. So even when Well being Ranger’s sources are improper on the tremendous factors, it appears laborious to think about that one thing just like the censorship program he outlines just isn’t within the works. Take a look at what we’ve seen already on campuses.
We noticed from the Twitter recordsdata that the Biden Administration, for probably the most half, relied on getting social media platforms to simply accept the premise that barring “misinformation” was completely legitimate, and would use that to typically politely however typically not, press for sure content material to be eliminated and authors penalized or banned. Fb and Twitter even have the flexibility to advertise and muffle content material, and that was a softer censorship measures, merely dampening the visibility of disfavored-speak.
It appears impossible that the Trumpies would go the soft-gloved route. However that additionally means the fingerprints of First Modification violations could be far simpler to see….assuming, after all, that one might get judges to react on a quick sufficient turnaround.
This coming crackdown additionally confirms our conservative coverage of all the time operating on our personal {hardware} and avoiding utilizing Twitter meaningfully and Fb in any respect. As we’ve lengthy mentioned, “If your corporation relies on a platform, you don’t have a enterprise.”
One can assume, as with the Covid speech clampdown, that the main focus will likely be on social media, as in Fb, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Tik-Tok. Evidently, we’re about to see how hypocritical Group Trump’s free speech posturing was, and the way Musk’s free speech absolutism pretenses will exit the window.
We’ll see how this rolls out, however I’d anticipate that prime profile YouTubers and podcasters will likely be first on the hit record.
The fascinating query will likely be Substack. Substack has made lots of noise not nearly being a free speech area, but in addition being keen to litigate on behalf of its writers. Will they fall in with content-choking? Calls for to unplatform sure writers? Or will they put up a struggle?
Now to the tweet from Well being Ranger. For comfort, I’m embedding it (which solely shows a gap portion) and the physique beneath.

RED ALERT: WE ARE GOING INTO A MAJOR WAR AND THERE WILL BE EXTREME CENSORSHIP beneath a brand new Workplace of Struggle Data (OWI for 2025) org! (However not named OWI.) Following my earlier publish on this topic, I obtained affirmation that the White Home is certainly working up a social media BAN LIST, and they are going to be rolling it out inside days after the bunker buster bombs fall on Iran. The aim after all is to silence all dissent and management the narrative to be 100% professional Israel. However not like the way in which the Democrats achieved this by routing ban lists by the DoD and offshore NGOs then again to Large Tech, on this case the bans will likely be dealt with domestically beneath the US Division of State, citing “nationwide safety” as the rationale. I’m informed there will likely be many THOUSANDS of accounts banned throughout all main social media, and lists have already been largely compiled. Rubio may have the record, and it’s not a coincidence that Rubio can also be at present serving because the Nationwide Safety Advisor, which means he has the entry channels to push a censorship record by. No phrase but on whether or not net domains will likely be seized by State, but it surely appears attainable.
SHARE THIS extensively, and push again in opposition to right-wing censorship within the identify of defending Israel’s narrative. Each indy media journalist ought to loudly protest this, and we should always demand that Trump denounce censorship and again away from this plan! Benz ought to quickly pay attention to this, and Jones, Carlson and others, in the event that they aren’t already. Owen Shroyer, Harrison Smith, Scott Ritter, Choose Napolitano, Glenn Greenwald, and so on., will after all all be on the record, as will anybody with any important attain who questions the pro-war narrative. YouTube may even be closely pressured.
This isn’t the primary time our authorities may have engaged in widespread wartime censorship, after all. From EBSCO: “U.S. Censorship and Struggle Propaganda Throughout World Struggle II – Throughout World Struggle II, the US carried out important censorship and propaganda efforts to assist its warfare targets. Because the battle escalated, President Franklin D. Roosevelt acknowledged the necessity for organized propaganda and established numerous companies, together with the Workplace of Struggle Data (OWI) and the Workplace of Censorship. These companies aimed to disseminate info that bolstered public assist for the warfare whereas suppressing dissenting views. Propaganda was delivered by an array of media, together with movies, posters, radio broadcasts, and comics, successfully mobilizing the American public and selling wartime values. Iconic symbols, reminiscent of Rosie the Riveter, emerged to signify ladies’s contributions to the workforce whereas selling a unified nationwide effort. The OWI coordinated quite a few campaigns to encourage navy enlistment and the acquisition of warfare bonds, in addition to to advertise useful resource conservation on the house entrance. Concurrently, the Workplace of Censorship labored to stop delicate info from reaching enemy forces, resulting in a fancy relationship between authorities oversight and media freedom. General, this twin strategy of propaganda and censorship was essential in sustaining morale and dedication throughout a pivotal second in U.S. historical past.”
Pray for freedom, pray for peace and pray for liberty. It appears the tyranny has merely shifted from the Left to the Proper, but it surely’s nonetheless tyranny and it’s nonetheless excessive censorship. The Left censored beneath the label of “misinformation” and the Proper will censor beneath the label of “anti-Semitism.” Will probably be labeled anti-Semitic to oppose warfare, in different phrases. In the event you don’t comply with bleed for the Zionists, you may be silenced. Decentralize quickly. Shift to decentralized, unbiased platforms. I don’t know if Rumble will obey State Dept. censorship calls for, as Rumble has been very sturdy defending free speech to this point, so we’ll see. Torba will completely NOT give in to censorship calls for. Bitchute will seemingly defend free speech as effectively. Brighteon will stay absolutely in accordance with the First Modification (I’m the founding father of Brighteon), recognizing that dissenting speech performs a important position within the very strategy of democracy. Bastyon is already decentralized and can stay so (censorship is unimaginable there). Look ahead to excessive censorship of well-liked podcasts through the podcast websites such because the “bean” website and Spotify, too. That is going to get much more insane and ugly than any degree of censorship throughout COVID, fyi.
