Memo Reveals Soros-Funded Social Media Censorship Plan
The recent wave of censorship of conservative voices on the internet by tech giants Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Apple mirrors a plan concocted by a coalition of George Soros-funded, progressive groups to take back power in Washington from President Trump’s administration.​
A confidential, 49-page memo for defeating Trump by working with the major social-media platforms to eliminate “right wing propaganda and fake news” was presented in January 2017 by Media Matters founder David Brock at a retreat in Florida with about 100 donors, the Washington Free Beacon reported at the time.​
On Monday, the Gateway Pundit blog noted the memo’s relationship with recent moves by Silicon Valley tech giants to “shadow ban” conservative political candidates and pundits and remove content.​
The Free Beacon obtained a copy of the memo, “Democracy Matters: Strategic Plan for Action,” by attending the retreat.​
The memo spells out a four-year agenda that deployed Media Matters along with American Bridge, Shareblue and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) to attack Trump and Republicans. The strategies are impeachment, expanding Media Matters’ mission to combat “government misinformation,” ensuring Democratic control of the Senate in the 2018 midterm elections, filing lawsuits against the Trump administration, monetizing political advocacy, using a “digital attacker” to delegitimize Trump’s presidency and damage Republicans, and partnering with Facebook to combat “fake news.”​
Quashing ‘fake news’ with ‘mathematical precision’
The Free Beacon in its January 2017 story said Brock sought to raise $40 million in 2017 for his organizations.​
The document claims Media Matters and far-left groups have “access to raw data from Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites” so they can “systemically monitor and analyze this unfiltered data.”​
“The earlier we can identify a fake news story, the more effectively we can quash it,” the memo states. “With this new technology at our fingertips, researchers monitoring news in real time will be able to identify the origins of a lie with mathematical precision, creating an early warning system for fake news and disinformation.”​
Media Matters met with Facebook, which boasts some 2 billion members worldwide, to discuss how to crack down on fake news, according to the memo.​
The social media giant was provided with “a detailed map of the constellation of right-wing Facebook pages that had been the biggest purveyors of fake news.”​
Brock’s memo also says Media Matters gave Google “the information necessary to identify 40 of the worst fake new sites” so they could be banned from Google’s advertising network.​
The Gateway Pundit pointed out that in 2016, Google carried out that plan on the Gateway Pundit blog and other conservative sites, including Breitbart, the Drudge Report, Infowars, Zero Hedge and Conservative Treehouse.​
Facebook, meanwhile has changed its newsfeed algorithm, ostensibly to combat “fake news,” causing a precipitous decline in traffic for many conservative sites.​
President Donald Trump himself was affected, with his engagement on Facebook dropping by 45 percent.​
A study in June by Gateway Pundit found Facebook had eliminated 93 percent of the traffic of top conservative news outlets.​
Western Journal, in its own study, found that while left-wing publishers saw a roughly 2 percent increase in web traffic from Facebook following the algorithm changes, conservative sites saw a loss of traffic averaging around 14 percent.​
‘Totalitarian impulse’ of the left
President Trump’s 2020 campaign manager charged last week the giants of Silicon Valley are stifling free speech, particularly conservative speech, manifesting the “inherent totalitarian impulse” of the left.​
On Friday, Facebook appeared to be “shadow banning” the non-profit education site PragerU, founded by talk-host Dennis Prager, causing a drop in engagement of 99.9999 percent while removing two videos regarded as “hate speech.”​
After Facebook rejected a highly inspirational ad for a Republican congressional candidate that included images depicting her parents’ persecution under the Khmer Rouge communist regime in Cambodia, Twitter followed up with its own ban.​
WND reported earlier this month Facebook banned a pro-life video ad by a judicial candidate, giving the same explanation.​
On Aug. 6, WND reported, Facebook, YouTube and Apple banned commentator Alex Jones and his Infowars website within hours of each other.​
Last month, WND reported moderate Muslims and counter-terrorist activists were increasingly being restricted by Silicon Valley, while terrorist content remains on social-media platforms, according to researchers.​
Trump campaign chief Parscale said last week the banning of Jones “will inevitably lead to the silencing of those with far less controversial opinions.”​
“What we are seeing in Big Tech is the inherent totalitarian impulse of the Left come into full focus,” Parscale said.​

If anyone wanted proof that the Democrats are in trouble, here it is.

Part of the media matters strategy is to hold journalists accountable. But there is a serious problem there. The way that the mainstream media gives Trump a platform is directly contradictory to removing him from power. And they literally cannot stop giving him that platform.

The more they bash Trump the more clicks they get. The more liberal viewers turn into their shows. Meanwhile, they are galvanizing all of the Trump supporters and alienating every other rational person. What I'm saying is people will find that the media making money is FAR more important to them than any real political leanings.

to attack Trump...

The strategies are impeachment..using a “digital attacker” to delegitimize Trump’s presidency...



Technically, I believe that is still legally known as Treason.

The end-game must be censorship of conservative views, right? No need to think any further, just shut off your brain at that point. It's not as if this is could be an attempt to permanently enshrine social media platforms as competition-proof monopolies via regulations. They certainly aren't manipulating people into acceptance of "fairness doctrine" regulation of social media platforms as if they are public utilities, which will ensure no other companies can ever compete with companies like facebook, google, and twitter. Even though this is exactly what these companies have been strategizing and salivating over for years now, I'm sure they're far more worried about censoring conservatives than trying to sell us the idea that Orwellian overreach is necessary and beneficial for society.

This times a thousand.

I am fed up with leftists wanting to treat humans as raw material for social experimentation.

I agree but

in a One World system loyalty and treason are not to nations
but loyalty and treason to the One World system

It's not just conservatives who are being censored, and it's not just social media. Look what the left does to anyone who doesn't think like they do. What they are doing is silencing dissent.

From the article--

Meanwhile, PayPal's Schulman said his philosophy is this: "Businesses need to be a force for good in those values and issues that they believe in.​
"But the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a liberal nonprofit for the defense of free expression and privacy online, has continually expressed concern about major companies such as PayPal using their power to become "de facto internet censors."​
"We need to be asking ourselves: who should be deciding what kind of speech should be allowed to thrive online? Should it be Internet users, elected officials, or the courts? Or should it be financial intermediaries, like Visa and Mastercard?" stated an EFF spokesperson.​
"In my opinion, financial institutions don't have the expertise to judge whether speech has societal value or violates the First Amendment. They shouldn't be making those decisions at all."​
Agreed. If they were targeting anyone other than conservatives, there would be an uproar.

For some, all of the world politics and plans are about Trump.

Shadow government doesn't want Trump, because Trump fought with FED like JFK, explained the scamdemic, prevented the financing of vaccination plans, eliminated Bill Gates against mark of the beast and arrested the funders of the "racial" organizations he declared as terrorists.

They (Trump supporters) don't accept that they are alone.
