Inside the pandemic industrial complex: Censorship, coercion, and collusion



Matt Kibbe has remained relentless in his pursuit of the truth about the COVID-19 pandemic. From secretive gain-of-function research to oppressive lockdown policies and aggressive government censorship, Kibbe is diving deep into one of the greatest scandals in our nation’s history — a scandal too many have overlooked.

But the American people deserve clarity on the origins of the virus and why our government responded with lockdowns, coercion, and censorship. Kibbe’s docuseries “The Coverup,” on BlazeTV+, aims to address our long list of unanswered questions.

Episode five — “Muckraker” — drops today. This latest installment follows Kibbe as he teams up with Twitter Files journalist Matt Taibi to discuss how Fauci, Birx, and key health agencies colluded with Big Tech to hide the truth from the public.

“Muckraker” is a plunge into the pandemic industrial complex — an insidious network of health bureaucracies, including the CDC, NIH, FDA, WHO, and several NGOs — that colluded with Big Tech companies to ensure that the COVID-19 narrative, from vaccines to the lab-leak theory and everything in between, was what the government wanted it to be.

In a flagrant violation of the First Amendment, intense pressure coming from both law enforcement and health agencies was directed toward social media companies, which compliantly censored Americans daring to question, theorize, or criticize outside the bounds of what the government deemed appropriate.

This censorship took many different forms. Shadow-banning, for example, was the covert practice used by tech companies to restrict a user's content visibility or reach on a platform without the user's knowledge, often through algorithmic suppression or reduced engagement. Health bureaucracies created and pushed frameworks for content moderation, which social media platforms then adopted. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg confessed that Biden administration officials were brutal in their demands to kill certain ideas in the public square.

Often the content that demanded moderation was information that the government, including health agencies, knew was true — like adverse vaccine side effects — but it was squashed nonetheless if it opposed the approved narrative.

“They were trying to re-engineer how people thought,” Taibbi says.

But thought control wasn’t their only aim. The simultaneous rise in censorship and bioterrorism research is no coincidence.

Tune in to “The CoverUp” episode 5, as Kibbe and Taibbi unravel the pandemic industrial complex, exposing how federal health agencies and Big Tech prolonged lockdowns, fueled fear, and hid the government’s role in the creation of the virus.

Listen up, independent content creators — there's a disturbing new trend in social media that you need to know about



Big tech censorship is ramping up as the 2024 presidential election gets closer, and Glenn Beck is concerned what this means for independent content creators.

“We have been witnessing a very disturbing trend in social media. Lately, the giants of Silicon Valley are attempting to control the narrative and dictate what information you have access to by punishing people like me, or perhaps like you, for wrong think,” he says.

Glenn believes this is a “blatant assault on your freedom of speech,” and they’re using him as an example.

Last week, Glenn’s team discovered that Apple had rated everything in his Apple podcast library as explicit content — even though his radio program is FCC-regulated.

However, after a discussion with Apple, it will remove the explicit label within a couple of business days.

“They will take a couple of days and correct this,” Glenn explains, calling the tactic “soft censorship.”

In addition, Facebook is making shadow-banning a company policy now. For those unfamiliar with the term, shadow-banning refers to blocking a content creator from a social media platform or online forum but not informing them that they've been blocked. That usually means their content — posts and comments — are no longer visible to users.

“They’re just rounding up everybody that disagrees with the government, and they just put them in this little digital ghetto,” Glenn says. “There’s a wall around it; well, they can speak all they want, but nobody’s going to hear them.”

Apparently, Facebook will be shadow-banning all political content — but Glenn isn’t sure what qualifies as political content to Meta.

“I’d like to know what Facebook considers to be political content. Is advertising LGBTQ issues to kids considered political? I bet not. How about content on the benefits of abortion — is that political?” he asks.
