Jordan Subpoenas Foreign Dark Money Group Over Alleged Censorship Collusion With Big Tech, Biden Admin
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan is asking a group of monitors linked to the pro-China group for any information about possible collusion with the Biden administration and big tech companies to censor Americans.
On August 3, a Jordanian representative sent a letter to Imran Ahmed, CEO of the Digital Hate Center, asking for details of the organization's work with the federal government to censor opponents of the Biden administration. .
“Some third parties, including organizations like yours, have played a role in this censorship system, advising the government and social media on so-called 'disinformation' and other types of content – sometimes with direct or indirect support or endorsement. message to the federal government.
Jordan's letter also provides specific examples of what the Human Rights Advisory Council has done to censor American voices.
He specifically pointed to how the Biden administration used the Human Rights Advisory Council's 2021 "Dozens of Disinformation" report to push social media to censor people who question left-wing accounts of COVID-19.
As a result of this campaign, Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. became one of the individuals targeted.
Jordan wrote a follow-up letter to Ahmed on Wednesday, saying: "Introduce effective legislation, such as potentially imposing new legal restrictions on the executive branch's ability to work with social media platforms and other companies to limit the distribution of funds." text, and for users of the platform, the commission will first ask the executive branch for the authority to censor speech.” And we need to understand the essence of how to coerce and bargain with other intermediaries.
Indeed, Jordan said, Congress needs to know how and to what extent the White House is teaming up with organizations like the CCHD so it can combat the Biden administration's unconstitutional surveillance activities.
However, the letter points out that after the initial investigation, the CCHD did not provide the House Judiciary Committee with any of the requested documents.

"By refusing to provide any input in response to the committee's request, the Human Rights Advisory Council is impeding the committee's ability to fulfill its constitutional oversight duties," Jordan said.
It is enough that the Biden administration has teamed up with far-left organizations to achieve Internet censorship, but the situation becomes even worse when it realizes the true nature of the group in question.
According to Breitbart, CCHD is a UK non-profit funded by the Oak Corporation, a shadow investment firm in Geneva, Switzerland.
The Oak Foundation has a history of supporting far-left movements and, worse, financing Communist China's efforts to control global trade networks.
Think about that for a minute. Here, the president and his administration may collude with an outside group associated with others deeply hostile to American interests.
Our republic is based on transparency and free and open exchange of information. If outside groups with hostile interests are allowed to step in and change the course of the conversation, it could be devastating to our country.
If these allegations are true, the White House is selling our First Amendment rights to foreign interest groups, and that's a big problem.
If we want to protect our liberties, Congress must act so that those who are hostile to our way of life have no influence over our government.
