New Insider Docs Show Censor Attacks 20x Worse for Conservatives
Ohio Republican Jim Jordan Exposes Massive Government Campaign to Censor Conservatives
Ohio Republican Jim Jordan is sounding the alarm on the federal government’s extensive efforts to silence conservatives during the 2020 election season. He has released compelling evidence that proves conservatives were specifically targeted to have their First Amendment rights infringed upon.
Jordan has not only shared this evidence online, but he has also made it available on his X account. The evidence reveals that the Department of Homeland Security and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency collaborated with Stanford University to determine which individuals should be censored on social media. They also decided which posts should be deleted, suppressed, or labeled with warnings.
This is a clear violation of the Constitution. The federal government has no authority to police political free speech in the United States. The First Amendment explicitly prohibits the government from suppressing the free speech of any American, regardless of their political beliefs.
Jordan’s evidence from the Monday report demonstrates that it was predominantly conservative voices that were targeted for suppression, rather than those on the left or center. In his initial X post, Jordan stated, “HUNDREDS of secret reports show how @DHSgov’s @CISAgov, The GEC (@StateDept), @Stanford and others worked together to censor AMERICANS before the 2020 election, including true information, jokes, and opinions.”
BOMBSHELL REPORT ON THE CENSORSHIP-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

Jordan, who chairs the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, explained that the “Election Integrity Partnership” was established to facilitate collaboration between the federal agencies and Stanford University. The university then contacted social media and internet communication companies to pressure them into censoring conservatives.
In another X post, Jordan provided an explanation of how this collaboration worked:
Here’s how it worked:
-EIP “stakeholders” (including the federal gov’t) would submit misinformation reports
-EIP would “analyze” the report and find similar content across platforms
-EIP would submit the report to Big Tech, often with a recommendation on how to censor

The records uncovered by Jordan reveal that the Stanford University EIP program, under the guidance and control of DHS and CISA, categorized perceived “violations” into different “pods.” The database released by Jordan contains only one “left-wing” report, while the rest are conservative or right-leaning “violations.” These include categories such as conspiracy, right-wing, minority communities, foreign influence, wellness parenting/religious group, and general anti-vaccination.
Notably, the number of reports targeting conservative speech far outweighs those targeting left-wing speech. The evidence clearly shows that the EIP disproportionately attacked conservative speech at a rate 20 times higher than its focus on the left.
The EIP primarily targeted posts related to vaccines and “conspiracies.” While the exact definition of a “conspiracy” is unclear, the spreadsheet highlighting the posts the federal agencies wanted to shut down indicates that the EIP sought to eliminate ideas popular among the right.
It remains uncertain whether Twitter, Google, Facebook, and other platforms complied with the EIP’s recommendations to suppress posts. However, even if only a fraction of the posts were censored, it would still constitute a violation of the U.S. Constitution.
Interestingly, The Western Journal, where this article is published, appears to have been a target of this government censorship campaign. The publication is mentioned at least 25 times in the records, indicating that the rights of its writers were violated. Furthermore, readers and consumers of news were also affected as their ability to choose to read certain stories was impaired in the lead-up to the 2020 elections and beyond.

How do the revelations brought forth by Jim Jordan raise concerns about political bias and partisanship within the government’s efforts to regulate and control online discourse?
Eft-wing speech. This raises concerns about political bias and partisanship within the government’s efforts to regulate and control online discourse.
The evidence presented by Jordan paints a troubling picture of government overreach and abuse of power. It reveals a coordinated campaign to stifle conservative voices, limit free speech, and manipulate public opinion. Such actions undermine the principles of democracy and erode the public’s trust in its government institutions.
It is essential that the government operates within the bounds of the Constitution and respects the fundamental rights and freedoms of its citizens. The First Amendment guarantees the right to free speech, regardless of political affiliation. It is not the role of the government to decide which viewpoints are acceptable and which should be silenced.
The revelations brought forth by Jim Jordan underscore the need for transparency and accountability in our government’s actions. The American people deserve to know the extent to which their government is infringing upon their constitutional rights and manipulating public discourse.
Furthermore, this case highlights the growing influence of technology companies and the potential dangers it poses to democratic processes. The collaboration between the government and social media platforms raises concerns about their power to control and manipulate information.
This issue should be of grave concern to all Americans, regardless of their political beliefs. The suppression of free speech and the manipulation of public opinion undermine our democracy and threaten our core values. It is imperative that we hold our government accountable and protect the fundamental principles upon which our nation was founded.
In conclusion, the evidence presented by Jim Jordan exposes a massive government campaign to censor conservatives during the 2020 election season. This campaign represents a clear violation of First Amendment rights and undermines the principles of democracy. It is crucial that we scrutinize these actions, demand transparency, and protect the fundamental freedoms that define our nation. Without a robust commitment to free speech and open discourse, we risk losing the very foundation upon which our democracy stands.
