“One Stop Shopping” For Censoring Conservatives in 2020 Election

We keep learning more about how the 2020 election really was rigged despite the histrionics from the New York Times and others about “election deniers” and “conspiracy theorists.” The evidence of election rigging is now overwhelming.

This does not mean the voting machines were rigged (although they were in Arizona where the scanners were set for one-sized paper and the voters were given a different size, so the machine rejected the ballots, which were then put in boxes and never counted. Of course, this treatment was limited to strong Republican districts). The rigging took place in many other ways.

Fake ballots were detected in many states, including Pennsylvania and Georgia. Tell-tale signs included mail-in and drop box ballots that were printed on different gauge paper than official ballots, districts in which voter turnout was greater than 100% of voter registration, supposedly “mailed” ballots that were never creased to fit in the envelopes, and situations like Wisconsin where Mark Zuckerberg spent hundreds of millions of dollars to hire supposedly nonpartisan voting administrators who were in fact partisan Democrats out to hide their cheating from poll watchers and the media.

Among the most egregious vote rigging operations was the systematic censorship of conservative comment and analysis. The Hunter Biden laptop with thousands of documents showing the Biden crime family at work was dismissed as “Russian disinformation” at a time when the FBI knew it was authentic. Facebook, Google and Twitter (pre-Musk) would either deplatform conservatives, post warning signs on their accounts, or rank search requests at the bottom of the rankings (where few users go) and put the Democratic and progressive search results at the top of the rankings.

Even that just scratches the surface. Now we learn of a new House Judiciary Committee staff report that reveals there was a nexus of operations including Biden’s Department of Homeland Security, Stanford University, and the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Lab designed to suppress conservative commentary and label it as “disinformation.” That label would then justify removing the content from the big tech social media platforms.

This group operated under the heading of the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP). Of course, their real mission was to be the opinion suppression agency. The House report says, “The federal government and universities pressured social media companies to censor true information, jokes, and political opinions.”

One of the directors of this censorship said the Stanford University part of the operation was conceived as a “one-stop shop for local election officials, DHS and voter protection organizations” to coordinate with social media in the censorship.

Whether it was fake ballots, rigged machines, real censorship or partisan poll officials, the left-wing stopped at nothing to defeat Trump. They’ll try it all again in 2024. Let’s hope Trump and the Republicans have learned something in the meantime.
