The following quotes from a former contractor to a federal spy agency are according to GoodReads and will be used to tee up the timely and recent headline topics. “Arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.” “Study after study has show[n] that human behavior changes when we know we’re being watched. Under observation, we act less free, which means we effectively *are* less free.” “These [spy] programs were never about terrorism: they’re about economic spying, social control, and diplomatic manipulation. They’re about power.” So said Edward Snowden. In Permanent Record, Snowden said: “In the 1990s, the Internet had yet to fall victim to the greatest iniquity in digital history: the move by both government and businesses to link, as intimately as possible, users’ online personas to their offline legal identity.” From that same Permanent Record source, Snowden stated: “In an authoritarian state, rights derive from the state and are granted to the people. In a free state, rights derive from the people and are granted to the state.” Snowden has been hanging his hat in Russia for years after he fled the Obama-Biden era government’s reach for his leaks. Some on the left and right believe Snowden is a traitor. But others appreciate that Snowden blew the whistle on the emerging surveillance, security, and police state powers that are vexingly woven into the fabric of American life and that of other nations too. That said, this report isn’t about Snowden, as important as some of his observations are. Rather, it is about a report about and from the “Interim Staff Report of the Committee on the Judiciary and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government” issued on 3.7.2023. The select committee interim report of the U.S. House of Representatives “EXECUTIVE SUMMARY” began with this sentence: “Freedom of speech is among the most important rights guaranteed to every American.”

 

Part I of this report will be overview provided by the WND News Center to MHProNews. A few added thoughts will preface what follows because some might mistakenly dismiss this topic as having little or nothing to do with manufactured housing. While the specific subject is Twitter since Elon Musk took control of the firm, at its core, this is a report about a federal agency that is targeting a company for apparently political reasons.

• Stop and think of the possible parallels if state/federal agency(ies) targeted you, your business, or your investments.
• Picture that targeting occurring a person or company, not for some authentic legal or regulatory purpose, but rather, because the public official(s) held a political view that is different than your own. This is not a left or right issue. It is an American issue. Nor is this presented because the subject includes Elon Musk. The jury, in our editorial view, is still out on how sincere Musk’s efforts are. Time may tell.

Yes, free speech is important for our industry and all others operating in the U.S. So that is one level of importance. But as noted, the second level of importance is that if one agency – the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is taking these steps for purportedly political reasons, then others can too. As one more thought before diving into the WND report, which will be followed in Part II by additional information from the Judiciary and Select Committee report which is also provided herein. That Part II insights must keep in mind that this isn’t the first time that a federal agency has been weaponized. It has been occurring, off and on, per various sources for decades. But the weaponization of a federal agency appears to be at a new crescendo in the last few years. Such public agency “weaponization,” as some Americans have painfully discovered, have occurred at the state or local levels over the years too.

Report cites FTC for being ‘weaponized’ against Twitter on Musk’s takeover

Made ‘more than 350 specific demands … on matters outside of its mandate’

By Bob Unruh Published March 9, 2023 at 10:32am

A new federal report has found that the Federal Trade Commission was “weaponized” against Twitter on Elon Musk’s takeover, and it made “more than 350 specific demands … on matters outside of the FTC’s mandate.”

The report, called “The Weaponization of the Federal Trade Commission: An agency’s overreach to harass Elon Musk’s Twitter,” was an interim staff report of the Committee on the Judiciary and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government in the U.S. House.

It follows the active “weaponization” of various federal agencies under Democrat leadership against Christians, parents, conservatives and others across America.

Famously, the FBI and the Department of Justice were weaponized under the Barack Obama administration against then-candidate and later President Donald Trump. They worked with Democrats to fabricate the “Russia collusion” conspiracy theory, which since has been debunked.

Then the Washington Deep State tried to portray parents concerned about their public schools as domestic terrorists.

Now a report from Just the News explains the report “notes various requests for information the agency made of the platform, which the subcommittee asserts occurred without ‘logical reason.'”

“Consisting of over a dozen FTC demand letters to Twitter that – in the span of less than three months following Musk’s acquisition – make more than 350 specific demands, this information shows how the FTC has been attempting to harass Twitter and pry into the company’s decisions on matters outside of the FTC’s mandate,” the report said.

“The timing, scope, and frequency of the FTC’s demands to Twitter suggest a partisan motivation to its action,” it continued. “When Musk took action to reorient Twitter around free speech, the FTC regularly followed soon thereafter with a new demand letter.”

That issue – Musk’s announced intention to restore the concept of free speech to the social media platform – enraged Democrats and triggered socialists and progressives who insisted the government somehow stop him. In fact, they insisted only their approved messaging be allowed.

“In particular, the House lawmakers observed FTC requests for information regarding which journalists engaged with the platform, the creation of Twitter Blue, and nearly all matters related to Musk himself,” Just the News reported.

“There is no logical reason, for example, why the FTC needs to know the identities of journalists engaging with Twitter,” the subcommittee explained. “There is no logical reason why the FTC, on the basis of user privacy, needs to analyze all of Twitter’s personnel decisions. And there is no logical reason why the FTC needs every single internal Twitter communication about Elon Musk.”

The report explained, “Freedom of speech is among the most important rights guaranteed to every American.”

It noted Musk’s acquisition of Twitter “served to revitalize this fundamental freedom in the digital age.” But, it said, the FTC “is orchestrating an aggressive campaign to harass Twitter and deluge it with demands about its personnel decisions… every internal communication relating to Elon Musk, and even Twitter’s interactions with journalists.”

It said, “These demands have no basis in the FTC’s statutory mission and appear to be the result of partisan pressure to target Twitter and silence Musk.” ##

 

Part II Additional Information with More MHProNews Analysis and Commentary in Brief

It has been said that the Second Amendment exists to support the First Amendment and the others found in the Constitution’s Bill of Rights. Every aspect of the federal Constitution and Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments) are important to the functioning of our Republic and the rights of each person, regardless of ethnic background, creed, gender or other natural groups.

Some talk show and other pundits have expressed the notion that there is a Sovietization of America that is taking place. If so, its no surprise. Power corrupts and the greater the power, the greater the corruption often tends to be.  The very things that caused the founders to rebel against England are now found in greater measure in the U.S.A. today than when the muskets were loaded or when the tea was tossed into Boston Harbor.

Per the Select Committee’s executive summary: “The timing, scope, and frequency of the FTC’s demands to Twitter suggest a partisan motivation to its action.”

Quoting the report linked here: “The Committee does not dispute that protecting user privacy and mitigating information security risks are important duties. Because of its consent decree with Twitter, the FTC has the authority to monitor how Twitter is protecting users’ private information, such as their phone numbers and email addresses.  But the FTC is currently imposing some demands on Twitter that have no rational basis in user privacy. There is no logical reason, for example, why the FTC needs to know the identities of journalists engaging with Twitter. There is no logical reason why the FTC, on the basis of user privacy, needs to analyze all of Twitter’s personnel decisions. And there is no logical reason why the FTC needs every single internal Twitter communication about Elon Musk. The strong inference from these facts is that Twitter’s rediscovered focus on free speech is being met with politically motivated attempts to thwart Elon Musk’s goals.”

Substitute you or your company’s top person’s name for Elon Musk. Imagine constitutionally protected rights being ignored by a federal agency.

The full interim report is linked here.

The FTC should be probing antitrust and other possible violations of the free marketplace which are part of its mandate: “To prevent business practices that are anticompetitive or deceptive or unfair to consumers; to enhance informed consumer choice and public understanding of the competitive process; and to accomplish this without unduly burdening legitimate business activity.” Neither the FTC, nor any other governmental agency, should be tipping the scales in favor any political party.

This is one reason why MHProNews editorially believes that it may take state level antitrust action to begin to restore the market, because federal agencies are widely accused of being corrupted.

As the quote from Snowden above noted: “These [spy] programs were never about terrorism: they’re about economic spying, social control, and diplomatic manipulation. They’re about power.” The weaponization of any agency is also about power. Is it any wonder that the Job Creators Network (JCN) recently said that there is a war against small businesses? If the FTC is willing to go after the corporate interests of one of the richest men on planet earth for apparently political reasons, how much more likely are they able to put their thumbs on the scales of favored vs. disfavored businesses?
