The House Judiciary Committee released an interim staff report that maps out the parties and methods being used to censor voices that don’t align with the DNC party’s core “values” and narratives.

The report is titled “GARM’s Harm: How the World’s Biggest Brands Seek to Control Online Speech,” and it exposes the central hub of the government-corporate hub, Global Alliance for Responsible Media.

May 8th, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced he secured an important victory in his ongoing lawsuit against the Biden Administration for unlawfully censoring American media companies. “The federal government sought to have the lawsuit dismissed, but a federal district court judge denied the Biden Administration’s request and ordered expedited discovery, the Texas AG said. “The Biden Administration made a reprehensible attempt to censor the American press with funding intended to monitor foreign propaganda, aiming to repress viewpoints the federal government disagreed with,” said Attorney General Paxton.

… Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee released an interim staff report titled, “GARM’s Harm: How the World’s Biggest Brands Seek to Control Online Speech,” which details how large corporations, advertising agencies, and industry associations through the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA) and specifically its Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) initiative participated in boycotts and coordinated action to demonetize platforms, podcasts, news outlets, and other content that GARM and its members deem disfavored. They represent 90% of all advertising dollars spent, according to House Chairman Jim Jordan. The full interim staff report here.

The company behind Truth Social, former president Donald Trump’s social media platform, the Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), has plans to further extend its media reach with a new acquisition of technological assets designed to boost its foray into streaming.

On July 1st, TMTG joined the Russell 1000 and Russell 3000 indexes.

Trump Media & Technology Group:

Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (Nasdaq: DJT) (“TMTG” or the “Company”), operator of the social media platform Truth Social, yet another of President Donald J. Trump’s iconic American brands, announced today that it signed an agreement to acquire assets intended to power TMTG’s planned content distribution network for streaming of linear TV – initially via the Truth Social platform and later through stand-alone apps. Additionally, the Company finalized a long-term equity financing arrangement to fund TMTG’s expansion over the next three years.

Merrick Garland’s Justice Department announced the successful taking down of a Russian AI Bot farm on Elon Musk’s X Platform, claiming the intention was to spread misinformation about the Ukraine War intended to create support for the Russian nation.

The statement from the Justice Department read, “The social media bot farm used elements of AI to create fictitious social media profiles — often purporting to belong to individuals in the United States — which the operators then used to promote messages in support of Russian government objectives.” This report follows claims from a U.S. intelligence official that Russia wants Trump to win.

The Russia election meddling narrative was something we all saw coming back in January 6, 2021, so don’t call me psychic for predicting it back then. The early deployment of the election meddling narrative does suggest, to this writer, that possibly the elites may have determined the level of cheat it would take to overcome what their internal reality is telling them might put their operations at too high a risk,

Therefore, they may be falling back on “winning” the House to keep the legal pressure on Trump, as well as to impede his legislative efforts, and bank on consolidating power once and for all in 2028. Most likely, not everyone would be onboard with this strategy, so it’s reasonable to assume to effort to remove Biden and find a “viable” candidate that can finish off America now will only be increasing. The recent exposure video of ABC Interviewer George Stephanopoulos “confessing” he doesn’t see Biden finishing another four-year term testifies to that possibility.

The United States has disrupted a Russian disinformation campaign involving AI-powered bots used to create fake profiles on the social media platform X, the Justice Department said Tuesday.

Officials seized two internet domains and searched 968 social media accounts that Russian operatives allegedly used to create an artificial intelligence “bot farm” and peddle disinformation in the United States and other countries, the department said in a statement.

“The social media bot farm used elements of AI to create fictitious social media profiles — often purporting to belong to individuals in the United States — which the operators then used to promote messages in support of Russian government objectives,” the statement said.

The U.S. actions “represent a first in disrupting a Russian-sponsored Generative AI-enhanced social media bot farm,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray.

The campaign — aimed at sowing “discord in the United States and elsewhere” — was developed by a senior editor of RT, a Russian state-owned media outlet, financed by the Kremlin and aided by an officer of Russia’s FSB security service, the Justice Department said.

The Chinese military is engaging in war games with its China-Russia axis ally Belarus along the Polish border. The operation has been deemed “Falcon Assault.” It is scheduled to conclude on July 19 of this year. The operation is taking place at a training ground just outside the city of Brest, which lies on the border of Poland.

Major General Vadim Denisenko, chief of Belarusian special operations command, said “Events taking place in the world are alarming, the situation is uneasy, therefore we are going to practice new forms and methods of performing tactical tasks.”

The operation is the first highly visible European-based military exercise involving Chinese troops, sending a signal abroad and at home that China’s military presence is expanding, her reach is getting deeper into the heartlands of the West.

At home, China is dealing with another round of military purges and corruption that cause some to doubt the sustainability of the Chinese military presence under actual fire. It is only a matter of time before China finds itself militarily challenged in one of its expanding colonizing outposts, outposts that now include Belarus.

China and Belarus started joint military exercises on Monday, the Belarusian and Chinese defence ministries said, holding the drills just few miles (km) from the border of NATO-member Poland and kicking them off on the eve of the alliance’s summit.

“Events taking place in the world are alarming, the situation is uneasy, therefore we are going to practice new forms and methods of performing tactical tasks,” Major General Vadim Denisenko, chief of Belarusian special operations command, was cited by the Belarusian defence ministry as saying in a post on the Telegram messaging app.

CHINA’S XI URGES WORLD POWERS TO FACILITATE DIRECT DIALOGUE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND UKRAINE

The manoeuvres, codenamed Falcon Assault, will go until July 19 and are taking place at a training ground near the city of Brest, the ministry said. Brest, in southwest Belarus, lies on the border with Poland.

Leaders of NATO’s 32 member countries meet on Tuesday in Washington for a summit where further military and financial support for Ukraine will be high on the agenda.

Belarus allowed Russia to use its territory as one of the launchpads for Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

As part of the “anti-terrorist exercises”, military personnel of both countries will work out issues of night landing, overcoming water barriers, and conducting operations in a populated area, the Belarusian defence ministry said in its statement.

The ministry also posted a series of photos on Telegram, showing over the weekend Chinese troops disembarking from a plane and offloading equipment. In Monday posts it showed the troops marching at a training ground. It was not clear how many troops were involved in the drills.

The Chinese defence ministry said in a statement on Monday that Belarus held a “a grand welcome ceremony” for the Chinese troops who arrived in Belarus on July 6, according to a statement published in English on the ministry’s website.

“The joint training aims to enhance the coordination capabilities of the participating troops, and deepen practical cooperation between the two armies,” the ministry said in the statement.

In an unrelated post on Telegram, the Belarusian defence ministry said on Monday that the size of NATO forces on the border with Belarus is rapidly growing, which leads to increased tension in the region.

“Our country is taking all possible measures to prevent escalation. However, if someone crosses our borders, the reaction will be harsh,” it said in the post.

 

Switzerland looks to break its neutrality stance with an application it filed to join the European Sky Shield Initiative, an air defense cooperative, of sorts, for European countries, specifically those feeling threatened by Russia.

Neutral Switzerland has applied to join the European Sky Shield Initiative (ESSI) air defence scheme at a time of heightened anxiety over security due to Russia’s war in Ukraine.

The scheme, launched by Germany in 2022, has been mostly, but not exclusively, backed by NATO members.

Swiss national armaments chief Urs Loher signed a membership application on Monday, the Swiss government said on Tuesday.

The French Leftist Coalition is demanding the immediate right to form a government because it has the plurality of seats, but not the majority. Meanwhile, the party that won the plurality of votes, Marine Le Pen’s Nationalist Rally, is still looking to find a path to a majority coalition, but the task seems daunting.

PARIS (AP) — The leftist coalition that won the most seats in France’s National Assembly in surprise results demanded on Tuesday the immediate right to form a government, even though no grouping won a majority of seats.

It is unprecedented in France’s modern history to have a fractured parliament. Sunday’s vote raised the risk of paralysis for the European Union’s second-largest economy. The legislature is split between the New Popular Front leftist coalition, President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist allies and the far-right National Rally.

Macron on Monday asked his prime minister, Gabriel Attal, to continue handling day-to-day affairs, despite Attal’s offer of resignation, less than three weeks before the start of the Paris Olympics. Macron leaves Wednesday for a NATO summit in Washington.

Two bodyguards for the far-left Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor were successful in fending off a car jacking suspect near the judge’s home, shooting him to death. Sotomayor is an anti-2A judge, so the irony of her property being defended by a gun is not lost on Americans.

July 9 (UPI) — Two bodyguards for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor shot and injured a suspected carjacker last week outside of her home in Washington, D.C., the U.S. Marshals Office announced Tuesday.

“The Deputy U.S. Marshals involved in the shooting incident were part of the unit protecting the residences of U.S. Supreme Court justices. As a general practice, the U.S. Marshals don’t discuss specifics of protective details,” the U.S. Marshals Office said in a statement.

The federal agents were parked outside of Sotomayor’s home at around 1:15 a.m. on Friday, when they said Kentrell Flowers walked up to one of their cars and pulled out a gun.

Both agents fired several shots at Flowers, who was hit in the mouth. The 18-year-old was taken to a hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries and arrested.

Metropolitan Police detectives said they found a semi-automatic handgun at the scene. Flowers was charged with armed carjacking, carrying a pistol without a license and possession of a large capacity magazine.

Authorities have not accused the teen of intentionally targeting Sotomayor or her security. The justice was not at home at the time of the carjacking.

The incident outside of Sotomayor’s home is not the first time federal agents or justices have been targeted.

Last year, following the leaked draft majority opinion on Roe vs. Wade, a man was arrested near Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh‘s home. Nicholas John Roske, 26, was charged with attempted murder after he was found armed with a gun and a knife, and told officials he wanted to kill the conservative justice.

Last November, Secret Service agents assigned to President Joe Biden‘s granddaughter, Naomi Biden, opened fire on a group of people trying to break into an unmarked Secret Service car parked in her Georgetown neighborhood.

And in January, former Trump administration official Mike Gill was killed by a carjacker as he sat in his car on K Street in northwest Washington, D.C.
