In a chilling assault on free speech, governments and shadowy organizations are secretly collaborating to silence dissent and criminalize those who dare to question the official narrative.
EXPOSED: The Secret Global Plot to Silence and Criminalize Dissent
Extract from an article published on Greenmedinfo.com and the full article is available here.
In a chilling assault on free speech, newly obtained documents reveal how international governments are collaborating to silence dissent and criminalize those who dare to question the official narrative. Spearheaded by the Biden-Harris administration in the U.S. and the Counter Disinformation Unit (CDU) in the UK, these revelations highlight a disturbing global effort to suppress free speech and control the flow of information
As Reclaim the Net’s report highlights, the UK and US, along with 20+ powerful nations, have orchestrated a global effort to suppress dissent under the guise of combating disinformation.
Damian Collins, CCDH, and the Revolving Door Between Government and NGOs
At the heart of this plot is the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), an NGO that has positioned itself as a watchdog against online hate and disinformation. But a closer look reveals that the CCDH is not the grassroots organization it claims to be.
Thanks to new disclosures through legal filings (Case 1:22-cv-00978-APM) and investigative reports from outlets like Reclaim the Net, we now know that the CCDH is part of a vast, coordinated effort to silence dissent across the globe.[^5] With funding from governments, foundations, and private donors, the CCDH is working with Big Tech companies and government bodies to deplatform and censor those who dare to challenge the dominant narrative, especially in relation to health policies, vaccines, and government mandates.
The UK Online Safety Act 2023, spearheaded by key CCDH figures like Damian Collins, MP, represents the next phase of this effort, allowing governments to criminalize “lawful but harmful” speech—vague terminology that enables the suppression of dissent under the guise of public safety.[^6]
Damian Collins, MP, a key figure in the UK Parliament and former chair of the Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport Committee, has played a pivotal role in the rise of the CCDH. His influence stretches from the halls of government to his leadership role at CCDH, where he has pushed for stricter regulations on online speech.[^7] Collins’ direct involvement with both the UK government and CCDH has raised concerns about conflicts of interest, particularly as he seeks to impose draconian speech controls under the guise of protecting the public from disinformation.
In 2021, Collins chaired the UK Parliament Joint Committee on the Draft Online Safety Bill, which aimed to combat harmful content online but was criticized for its vague and overreaching proposals that threatened free speech.[^8] After a brief stint in the UK government, Collins returned to CCDH, an organization he had previously led. Despite his obvious ties to the UK government, Collins has downplayed the connections, even as CCDH continues to receive indirect funding through government-linked grants.[^9]
CCDH’s connections run deep. Not only is Collins involved, but Simon Clark, chairman of CCDH’s UK and US boards, is a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, a NATO-linked organization.[^10] The Atlantic Council, exposed in the Twitter Files by journalist Matt Taibbi, plays a central role in the global censorship industry, advising governments and Big Tech companies on how to monitor and suppress speech online.[^11] The Atlantic Council’s close ties to the US Department of Defense and other governmental entities further highlight the intricate web of collusion between private and public sectors in controlling the narrative.
Summary: Key Takeaways
- Global Government Collusion: Over 20 countries, including the US, UK, and international entities like NATO and the G7, have coordinated efforts to suppress speech deemed undesirable, using disinformation frameworks to justify censorship across borders. These revelations highlight the role of governments in shaping a global censorship regime through direct coordination and the use of foreign influence.[^1]
- The Rise of CCDH: Backed by significant financial and institutional support, the CCDH has become a key player in the global censorship infrastructure, partnering with governments, NGOs, and Big Tech companies to silence dissent—especially regarding health policies, vaccines, and civil liberties. Their efforts have contributed to deplatforming those who challenge the official narrative.
- Foreign Collusion and AI-Driven Censorship: The recently exposed America First Legal documents show evidence of foreign collaboration between the US and UK governments in crafting legal and technological tools—such as AI-driven censorship systems—to automatically flag and suppress content in real time. These automated systems can identify and silence dissenting opinions without human oversight, shrinking the space for free speech globally. [^2]
- The Atlantic Council and CIA Involvement: The CCDH board includes key figures from intelligence agencies, including seven former CIA officials. The Atlantic Council, a NATO-linked organization, is deeply involved in this censorship operation, plays a significant role in the global censorship network, advising governments and Big Tech on how to suppress speech that challenges dominant narratives. [^3]
- Legal and Political Ramifications: Through non-elected bodies like the International Criminal Court (ICC), United Nations (UN), and the World Health Organization (WHO), governments are enacting draconian laws that could criminalize free speech worldwide. Legislation like the UK Online Safety Act and the Digital Services Act in the EU create a framework that threatens global civil liberties under the guise of public safety and combating “disinformation.” [^4]
