Joe Biden Moans About Provision that Prohibits Pentagon From Collaborating With Censorship Organizations and “Fact Checkers”
Towards the end of 2023, the Biden regime approved the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2024. However, the regime did not get all of its wishes once this bill was passed. Certain provisions in this bill would have prevented the United States Defense Department would not be allowed to contractually work with several groups such as NewsGuard, and the Global Disinformation Index (GDI) – organizations that work diligently to censor free speech.
Biden commented on the passage of the NDAA bill, which he praised in most respects.
“While I am pleased to support the critical objectives of the NDAA, I note that certain provisions of the Act raise concerns,” a statement signed by Biden noted.
He specifically lamented how the Defense Department would not be allowed to contract with news organizations that would become willing propagandists for the DC regime. Such a partnership has been used by the national security state to engage in mass censorship against dissidents.
Due to the US’s robust free speech protections, the Swamp regime can’t directly infringe on free speech rights. So it has to pivot towards forging an unholy alliance with private and non-governmental organizations. The Right needs to keep tabs on this development to ensure that our free speech rights remain intact.
