Supreme Court Sides with The Censorship Gang. The Fight Is Not Over.
June normally marks the end of the annual Supreme Court term that begins on the first Monday of October each year (although this year, SCOTUS will have a few more decisions that go into the first week of July). It’s customary for the Supreme Court to release many of its more important decisions during the final week of June, and this year was no exception.
A wave of momentous decisions was handed down during the week ending last Friday. We’ll be covering a lot of those in detail in our sister publications in the weeks ahead. For now, we want to concentrate on one decision that will impact all our readers, especially in the run-up to the November presidential election.
The case in question is Murthy v. Missouri. It is a landmark case in the area of free speech and the First Amendment.
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of the Biden administration that government can put pressure on social media companies such as Facebook, Google and Twitter to censor news the government does not like and to promote official government lies.
At various times during the COVID pandemic (2020-2022) and ahead of the mid-term elections in 2022, the White House and their flunkies put pressure on the social media companies to deplatform or downgrade voices that questioned the so-called vaccines, opposed the use of masks and social distancing, objected to lockdowns and school closures or gave credence to the Hunter Biden laptop story and Biden Crime Family corruption.
These efforts at censorship were not hard to do. The social media companies were heavily staffed by former members of the FBI, CIA and White House staff who were in sync with Biden administration propaganda. When the White House called Facebook or Twitter, they were usually speaking with old friends who had previously worked at censorship from inside the administration.
The irony was that the parties being censored were right. The vaccines did not stop infection or the spread of the disease. Masks were useless. Lockdowns destroyed the economy but did nothing to stop the spread of the virus. An entire generation of American children were deprived of two years of crucial formative education so that cowardly teachers’ unions could get paid to stay home.
The Hunter Biden laptop was real, and it did reveal massive corruption by the Bidens. Still, the censorship of credible voices went ahead, and the Supreme Court just gave it a green light to continue.
The only ray of hope is that the Supreme Court rejected the complaint in this case on procedural grounds (lack of standing to sue and an overly broad complaint). The court never reached the substance of the censorship. This means future cases alleging government censorship may have more success. But that result may take years to unfold.
In the meantime, the Big Brother approach of Biden and his enablers in social media can continue. The best advice for investors is not to believe anything coming out of Washington or social media. It’s best to seek out independent advice from those without conflicts or political agendas.
