(Natural News)—It has come to light that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is involved with Big Tech censorship.
A woman by the name of Kate Starbird, who chaired the now-dissolved advisory committee of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), advised social media companies about how to craft their “moderation” policies.
Last June in a closed-door meeting that was held in the leadup to the House Judiciary Committee probe into the federal government’s weaponized censorship operation, Starbird admitted to being involved in social media censorship.
Starbird also headed up the University of Washington‘s (UW) Center for an Informed Public, which just so happens to “specialize” in handling “disinformation and misinformation.”
The Election Integrity Project also had Starbird in its ranks, this being the group that promoted censorship in favor of Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
UW, by the way, received a $2.25 million award to fight “disinformation” from the National Science Foundation, another taxpayer-funded government agency.

When government employees silence free speech
Documents obtained by the Washington Examiner show that Starbird was heavily involved in Big Tech censorship, her name never having been previously spoken of much on the censorship front.
In speaking before Congress, Starbird was careful with her words, though still revealed quite a bit about the role she played in advising social media platforms to do the government’s bidding.
When asked specifically if she had ever “directly” advised any social media platforms, Starbird admitted that she “sometimes had conversations” with them about censorship matters.
“I don’t draft (moderation policies), but I’ve had conversations with representatives of several platforms, actually,” Starbird said.
Not only did Starbird have these conversations, but she admitted to being “happy” with their outcome in terms of the moderation tactics that social media platforms ended up employing based on her guidance.
“Those are the kinds of things that I’m happy to have a conversation with a platform about: Like, how you might want to go about labeling, which accounts you might want to not bother labeling,” Starbird is quoted as saying to Congress.
“Maybe you really only want to label – you know, I might advise, like – you know, you focus labels on the people that, you know, are verified accounts or have large audiences, those kinds of things.”
Starbird’s first contact with Big Tech occurred all the way back in 2017 around the time Donald Trump became president. This contact, reports indicate, was not yet tied to any government body as was the case later in Starbird’s career.
“I did not consult with platforms around content moderation of specific pieces of content or accounts,” she revealed. “Nor did I communicate with platforms as part of my role at the EIP or as a member of the CISA advisory committee.”
The GOP-led panel that later compiled a report on the matter mentioned Starbird 41 different times, as well as the name Vijaya Gadde, an ex-executive at Twitter, now known as X.
Starbird was behind the digital suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. The former professional women’s basketball player also appeared on CBS‘s “60 Minutes” program recently where it was conveniently not disclosed that Starbird used to be on the now-defunct CISA advisory panel.
Before Starbird started working for the government, some social media platforms that had government employees working behind the scenes reached out to her “seeking insights based on my academic research to help them better understand how rumors and disinformation spread online,” she admitted.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
Why are YOU reporting a “dissolved” and “defunct” CISA Advisory Committee???
https://www.cisa.gov/resources-tools/resources/cybersecurity-advisory-committee-csac-subcommittee-fact-sheet
The CISA Act of 2018, signed by President Trump, handing off authority over ELECTIONS, ELECTION SECURITY AND THE CENSUS to the DHS sealed the deal on future massive election fraud we observed in 2020, 2022, 2023 and so on!
Nary any mention of this EVER and WHATSOEVER?????
What’s THE DEAL, JILL????
The CISA Advisory Committee, which certainly appears still active from government web sites, is full of commies, WEFers, former Twitter censors and Obama appointees!
The CISA/EI–ISAC network oversees elections and its supervisors are the state Secretaries of State whose campaigns were funded by GEORGE SOROS!
Thanks for all the NON—REPORTAGE!!!
Anyone know of any GENUINE conservative web sites, have yet to find any?!
