Massive Censorship-Industrial Complex comprised of Big Tech, corporations, government, NGOs, “fact checkers” and more
05/12/2023 / By Ethan Huff
You’ve heard of the military-industrial complex, but what about the censorship-industrial complex? It turns out that latter is just a rebirthed version of the former for the “hybrid warfare age.”
The CIC, as we will call it for short, is comprised of a vast network of institutions and that extend far beyond just government agencies and Big Tech. There are also for-profit corporations participating in and promoting it, as well as academic institutions, think tanks, so-called “fact checkers,” non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and non-profit foundations.
The general public is told that the CIC is needed to stop “disinformation,” which we are told is a product of “foreign adversaries,” i.e., Russia and China, that are endangering people’s lives. The truth, though, is that the CIC is waging war domestically, meaning its target is truth-telling Americans who have a constitutional right to free speech.
Racket News describes the CIC as “a relentless, unified messaging system aimed primarily at domestic populations, who are told that political discord at home aids the enemy’s undeclared hybrid assault on democracy.”

Trump’s White House win prompted the birth of the CIC
In order to make the CIC work as intended, Americans’ First Amendment and other rights must be scrapped – for “public safety,” of course. There must be widespread surveillance, for instance, in order to catch and remove “misinformation.” We also need “fact checkers” whose job it is to filter the news for public consumption.
Big Brother and its Ministry of Truth, in other words, must be allowed to keep tabs on everyone at all times, without probable cause or reasonable suspicion that any actual crime has been committed. To the CIC, anything that goes against its agenda is a threat that must be defused as if it was a crime.
The CIC really ramped up after the election of Donald Trump to the presidency. We were endlessly bombarded with government propaganda claiming that “malign foreign threat actors” had stolen the election by spreading “misinformation” that caused Americans to vote for Trump over two-time failed presidential wannabe Hillary Clinton.
“Everything, from John Podesta’s emails to Trump’s Rust Belt primary victories to Brexit, were to be understood first and foremost as hybrid war events,” Racket News further explains about how the witch hunt against Trump and his supporters played out.
“This is why the Trump-Russia scandal in the United States will likely be remembered as a crucial moment in 21st-century history, even though the investigation superficially ended a non-story, fake news in itself. What the Mueller investigation didn’t accomplish in ousting Trump from office, it did accomplish in birthing a vast new public-private bureaucracy devoted to stopping ‘mis-, dis-, and malinformation,’ while smoothing public acquiescence to the emergence of a spate of new government agencies with ‘information warfare’ missions.”
Racket News unpacks in great detail who all the major players are in the CIC, what each of them do, and how they are funded. There is also plenty of additional information in a report that shows how all the CIC players are linked, which is depicted in a bubble chart.
Take some time to review that report to learn more about this truly terrifying behemoth creation by the globalists, which aims to stomp a permanent boot of tyranny on all speech and human activity.
“And what’s more terrifying is just the sheer number of people I personally know that have no idea that this is going on,” one commenter wrote, lamenting the fact that too few people even know the CIC exists.

Censorship industrial complex is waging information warfare against the American people, warns investigative reporter Jefferey Jaxen
05/16/2023 / By Kevin Hughes
The censorship industrial complex is conducting information warfare against the American people, according to investigative reporter Jefferey Jaxen.
Jaxen said author and journalist Matt Taibbi, who has gone through the Twitter Files, coined the term censorship industrial complex after looking at the Virality Project, a seven-month pilot program that was a plugin for Twitter. He noted that the Virality Project was used as a censorship dog whistle, with their people giving weekly reports about misinformation.
The researcher and writer also stated that true stories about vaccine hesitancy were wrangled and censored at this point. Secretly, vaccine hesitancy and other things were being targeted.
Jaxen mentioned that Taibbi and author Michael Shellenberger have blown the whistle on how dangerous this thing is before a congressional hearing. Shellenberger had submitted a 68-page congressional report in which he gave all of his information about the censorship industrial complex.
“It’s a testimony to Congress and it shows in great detail, basically an effort by the U.S. government, intelligence and security agencies, (and) the health agencies to wage information warfare against the American people. It’s that serious and so, behind the scenes, you have this censorship industrial complex that has been erected in the shadows, but is really out front now,” Jaxen told host Del Bigtree during the May 9 episode of “The High Wire.”
“We’re seeing legislation not just in the U.S., but around the world that is trying to curb speech in a lot of different ways.” (Related: America’s intelligence agencies are conducting “information warfare” against its own people.)
Jaxen noted that censorship in the U.S. has a lot of different flavors – including the Restrict Act, which is currently going through legislation.
According to the investigative journalist, the Restrict Act has broad, open-ended language that is very concerning because it talks about foreign adversaries. Jaxen pointed out that the problem there is giving the Secretary of Commerce the power to designate new foreign adversaries.
Bigtree commented that the government is trying to scare the American people through the propagandized media and by taking control of the internet. He added the government is using the censorship law as a way to gain even more power and control over the lives of the American people.
Restrict Act may criminalize use of VPNs
Jaxen said the Restrict Act has the potential to criminalize the use of virtual private networks, or VPNs, which protect a device from hackers. He urged Americans to pay attention to this and make their voices heard.
“If Congress is going to pass the Restrict Act it should be whittled down to what it was originally supposed to be,” Jaxen said. And that is to protect the U.S. from China’s surveillance network.
He also mentioned that there is a new hate speech law going through legislation in Ireland. Called the “Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offenses Bill 2022,” it is using the concept of “hate crime” from a different angle. Jaxen said the bill talks about hate crime as a situation where a person prepares or possesses material that is likely to incite violence or hatred against a person or a group of persons.
Bigtree commented that speaking out about some issues does not mean that a person is inciting violence.
