The Biden regime is moving to put into place an Act of totalitarian nastiness, which will make the PATRIOT Act look like a freedom-loving piece of black letter law. The Act is advertised by the Democrats to deal with the CCP-influenced TikTok social media spying platform. However, the word TikTok does not even appear in the Act. What is done, is to create a means for censoring everything the regime does not want: “In review, the RESTRICT ACT (S-686) allows the government to seize the domain names, assets, computers, e-commerce, etc., of anyone who opposes the government’s position on anything. That means, for example, if you post something on social media that counters the narrative that all vaccines are safe and effective 100 percent of the time, even if you almost died from the clot shot for Covid, the US government can come arrest you, put you in prison with no trial, force-vaccinate you, and let you rot there indefinitely. Or, if you end up with thousands of dollars in cash (that you hid under your mattress) after it’s no longer valid, and you complain about it to anyone who sides with the communists in Washington DC, you can be charged with domestic terrorism for trying to steal from the IRS and your country.”
This is a whole new level of tyranny which makes the US into communist China. It may get overturned by constitutional challenge in the Supreme Court of the United States, or it may not; I would not trust the courts after they refused to give standing to the state of Texas for a review of electoral fraud in the 2020 election. If this Act gets in, expect the same to roll off the press in Australia too.
