In what can only be described as a not-so-shocking development, Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Chris Wray have rolled out their latest brainchild in the name of safeguarding our elections. If you were hoping for a stand-up comedy show, sorry to break it to you, but this isn’t it. These two, alongside Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, stood up in Washington DC, proclaiming their battle cry against “election threats”. Now, if you’re wondering whether this is the plot of a new dystopian novel, you’re not alone.
Before we even get into the nitty-gritty, can we take a moment to appreciate the irony? Merrick Garland, whose name rings bells in the corridors of the historic persecution of Donald J. Trump, now wants to chat about election threats. You’d think he’d start by mentioning his own cameo in this saga, but alas, details, details.

Convenient timing. When one facet of the Censorship Industrial Complex is shut down, a new one springs up.
Always the same cast of characters in this game of whack-a-mole. We'll root them out wherever they appear. https://t.co/A2evldS975 pic.twitter.com/uwYDgvTDBs

Garland and his crew are waving the flag of protecting democracy from what they label as “national security threats”, including those dastardly “cyber-enabled campaigns”. For anyone needing a translation from bureaucratise, that’s code for “we don’t like what you’re saying online”. It’s like someone shouting “fire” in the theater when there’s just a bit of smoke from someone’s vape pen. Talk about gaslighting!
Now, I’m no stranger to sarcasm, but even I can’t help but raise an eyebrow at the audacity. The very trio that could win gold if political contortion were an Olympic sport, lecturing us on clean elections? That’s rich. It’s akin to a fox hosting a seminar on henhouse security measures.
Representative Dan Bishop hit the nail on the head, pointing out the oh-so-convenient timing of this grand announcement. Just last week, the Biden regime waved goodbye to the DHS Intelligence Experts Group, a merry band of deep state enthusiasts. What miraculous timing, indeed. It’s almost as if there’s a script these people are following.
Cybersecurity expert Mike Benz chimed in with his two cents, unraveling the government’s sleight of hand. In essence, any Tom, Dick, or Harry retweeting something the Big Brothers don’t like is now part of a sinister “campaign”.
What we’re witnessing here, folks, is a full-blown censorship extravaganza, under the guise of protecting our precious critical infrastructure. Because, apparently, expressing skepticism online is now tantamount to a cybersecurity attack. Who knew?
The unchecked power to silence dissent under the banner of national security is chilling. It’s a slippery slope from protecting elections to policing thoughts. In the land of the free, where the First Amendment was once hailed as sacrosanct, we find ourselves at a crossroads. Will we tread the path of open discourse, or will we veer into the dark alleys of censorship?
