(Natural News)—For years, the American public has been subjected to a relentless campaign of censorship, manipulation, and outright lies perpetrated by a collusive network of government agencies, Big Tech corporations, and left-wing media outlets. This unholy alliance has systematically silenced dissent, suppressed truth, and weaponized information to maintain control over public discourse. The recent revelations about government collusion with Facebook, the weaponization of “disinformation” and the coordinated efforts to censor conservative voices for years have exposed the depth of this corruption. Now that they’ve been exposed, and mainstream media ratings have fallen, don’t expect them to quit. Now that they’ve lost control and a majority of Americans are disregarding false narratives, expect the propaganda machine to double down like never before and fight for censorship in the name of keeping you safe.
The Legacy Media’s Descent into Propaganda
The legacy media, once a bastion of journalism, has devolved into a propaganda machine for the political left. With declining influence and revenue, these outlets have abandoned any semblance of objectivity, opting instead to push pre-packaged narratives that serve the interests of the establishment. During the 2024 election cycle, networks like CNN, MSNBC, and ABC provided Kamala Harris with 78% positive coverage, while former President Donald Trump was subjected to 85% negative coverage. This blatant bias was not just a failure of journalism; it was a deliberate effort to manipulate public opinion.
The media’s obsession with framing Trump as a “threat to democracy” and a “Putin puppet” was nothing more than a smokescreen to distract from the real issues — inflation, illegal immigration, and a failing economy. Yet, when Trump won, the media’s response was not introspection but a desperate attempt to blame alternative media for their own failures. The truth is, Americans have rejected the legacy media’s lies, turning instead to alternative sources for truthful information.
Government and Big Tech’s Collusion to Censor Truth
The collusion between government agencies and Big Tech has reached unprecedented levels. The American First Legal team’s litigation against Facebook and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has exposed the chilling extent of this partnership. Facebook employees trained CDC officials on how to censor Americans, creating a portal titled “COVID & Vaccine Misinformation.” Through this system, the CDC censored over 16 million pieces of content, silencing dissent on critical issues like COVID-19 lockdowns, masks, and the dangers of the vaccines.
The Biden administration’s pressure on social media companies to eliminate “misinformation” was a thinly veiled attempt to control public discourse. Facebook, under Mark Zuckerberg’s leadership, caved to this pressure, allowing the government to wield unprecedented power over online speech. This censorship not only violated the First Amendment but also harmed countless lives by suppressing the truth about the vaccines’ adverse effects, including spike protein shedding and increased miscarriage risks.
The Congressional report on the Weaponization of the Federal Government reveals an even more sinister plot: the collaboration between federal agencies, universities, and private firms to censor Americans’ political speech. The Election Integrity Partnership (EIP), funded by the Department of Homeland Security, worked with organizations like the Atlantic Council, Stanford Internet Observatory, and the University of Washington Center for an Informed Public to target conservative voices. These groups used sophisticated algorithms to shadow-ban, de-platform, and defame individuals who dared to question the official narrative.
The Atlantic Council, for example, employs former intelligence officials to “expose falsehoods and fake news,” but in reality, they are censoring the truth and promoting government propaganda. The Stanford Internet Observatory and the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public have built psychological profiles on dissenters, isolating them from public discourse and destroying their reputations. This coordinated effort to control information is not just anti-democratic; it is a direct attack on the First Amendment.
The fight for Free Speech and truth must continue
The Censorship-Industrial Complex has shown its true colors: a network of government agencies, Big Tech corporations, and left-wing organizations working together to silence dissent and maintain control over public discourse. This collusion is not just unethical; it is unconstitutional. The First Amendment guarantees the right to free speech, yet this right has been systematically undermined by those in power.
It is time to demand accountability. Congress must investigate the collusion between government agencies and social media companies. The Supreme Court must uphold the First Amendment and strike down any laws that seek to regulate “misinformation.” And most importantly, the American people must reject the legacy media’s propaganda and seek out alternative sources of information. It is time to dismantle the Censorship-Industrial Complex and restore the First Amendment to its rightful place as the bedrock of the American republic.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
