Public records requests have revealed that a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) initiative aimed at censoring social media users during the 2020 election was funded by hardline ‘Never Trump’ figure and Biden donor Pierre Omidyar.
Omidyar, a French-born, Iranian-American billionaire founder of eBay, provided money to the Center for Internet Security (CIS) nonprofit to create its Misinformation Reporting Portal (MiRP), according to investigative reporter Lee Fang.
This portal was used by what Fang describes as a “coalition of liberal-leaning research groups,” including the Democratic National Committee – and excluding the Republican National Committee.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
