How Biden Used Your Money to Fund the Death of Free Speech

What if I told you your own government is waging a campaign to silence you? They’re taking your tax dollars—money meant to serve the people—and using it to fund censorship. That’s not governance. That’s dictatorship, dressed up in the language of “misinformation.”

Let’s call it what it is: Taxpayer-funded tyranny.

$267 Million for Censorship Tools

Since 2021, the Biden-Harris administration has spent $267 million on research grants targeting so-called “misinformation.” At least $127 million of that went directly to COVID-19-related projects, designed to discredit and silence Americans questioning government narratives.

And what did that money fund? Studies, algorithms, and even propaganda campaigns to push YOU into compliance with public health mandates.

One grant went so far as to spend $200,000 slandering President Trump, labeling his leadership style “populist” and harmful to “solidarity.” That same study concluded that in the next public health crisis, the government should give “the main say” to experts—not to the people, not to elected leaders, but to unelected bureaucrats.

This isn’t about protecting public health. It’s about silencing dissent.

Censorship in Action

The government didn’t just throw cash at research. They weaponized it. Behind the scenes, federal agencies colluded with Big Tech to suppress content they didn’t like. Facebook, Twitter (now X), and others were pressured to censor opinions that clashed with the official narrative.

“Wrong,” admitted Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg when asked about these backroom deals. But by then, the damage was done.

Even the National Science Foundation (NSF) got in on the act, pumping millions into developing AI-powered censorship tools. These tools were designed to restrict certain viewpoints and amplify others—a modern-day Ministry of Truth, paid for by you.

COVID Lies and Broken Trust

The COVID-19 pandemic gave the government the perfect excuse to tighten its grip on speech. They called it “misinformation,” but what they really meant was “anything we don’t want you to say.”

Remember when they told us to stay six feet apart? That masks would save lives? That vaccines were the only way out?

Now, even Anthony Fauci admits the six-foot rule had “no scientific basis.” Other countries have stopped recommending COVID vaccines for children, but here in the U.S., our government still pushes them—despite mounting evidence they do more harm than good.

This isn’t just incompetence. It’s deliberate manipulation. And it’s why trust in the government is at an all-time low.

Censorship by the Numbers

Since 2017, the federal government has handed out $273 million in grants with the term “misinformation.” Most of that spending—$267 million—came after Biden took office.

• $80 million to nonprofits to push pro-vaccine messaging.
• $2 million for a media campaign in North Carolina targeting “vaccine hesitancy.”
• $1.2 million to a program revising its mission to include “dispelling misinformation about COVID-19.”

But the most alarming? Contracts funding AI surveillance tools to track and flag “misinformation” online. These systems don’t just find content—they shut it down.

• $300,000 to Innov8AI to “interdict” medical misinformation.
• $299,964 to Gryphon Scientific to develop systems for “eliminating misinformation online.”
• $1.2 million to Guidehouse for “misinformation analysis,” including “malinformation” (true facts presented in a “harmful” way).

Let that sink in: your tax dollars are being used to censor you.

What Is Misinformation, Anyway?

According to the Department of Health and Human Services, misinformation is “false, inaccurate, or misleading information according to the best available evidence at the time.”

Sounds reasonable, right? Except who decides what’s “misleading”? Who determines the “best available evidence”?

Under this definition, anything that challenges the government’s narrative becomes fair game for suppression. And they’ve already proven they can’t be trusted.

The Bottom Line

This isn’t about protecting you from falsehoods. It’s about protecting the government from criticism. It’s about silencing dissent and consolidating power.

The Biden administration’s war on “misinformation” is a war on you—your speech, your freedom, your democracy.

And make no mistake: this will only get worse unless we fight back.
