The Missouri v. Biden case will go down in history as one of the most important civil liberties cases ever tried in a United States court. A ruling was issued today and I would like to explain this to you. The judge in this case just smacked the government down once again. This was copied and pasted from a thread in Truth social by Tracy Beanz. I reccommend reading the thread here for pictures and highlights.

The parties have been going back and forth. As we know, the judge has made two exceedingly rare rulings in this case; first, he granted expedited discovery. For details you can read this:

Then, once discovery started coming in, the Plaintiff attorneys couldn’t believe what they were reading, and petitioned the court for expedited depositions. His order declared that several claims the Plaintiffs had made about social media censorship had already been PROVEN. Unheard of, but true. The claims were PROVEN, and there is an active and wide ranging effort to censor and target Americans based on their THOUGHTS and speech.

This article details everything in the judges order, and it’s something.

This piece was written before “The Intercept” wrote their piece. The Intercept piece that went viral was based on the discovery in THIS CASE.

So, once the judge ordered expedited discovery, the government shenanigans began.

The government (Defendants in this case) started filing motions to stop people from being deposed, and in other cases to delay it due to circumstances they outline that are inane and ridiculous. I will detail these in this thread, because I feel like a deep dive follow of this case is something everyone needs.

Then, they filed a mandamus in the appellate court to stop the depositions altogether. The Plaintiffs (MO and LA) consented to a SHORT delay in deposition, bringing them to early Dec.

That wasn’t good enough, of course, so the Defendants filed a motion to stay the depositions and outline all of their nonsense reasons why they would be IRREPARABLY harmed by having to expedite their depositions. They also claimed that the appellate court may rule that the parties won’t have to sit for deposition at all, and that some of the material is privileged- all of which the judge had ALREADY addressed.

Judges don’t like that. Today, the judge ruled on their request.

He ruled that their request for a stay was DENIED, which means that no matter what happens in the appellate court, they must sit for these depositions, because as the judge so eloquently writes, the HARM they are causing to Americans far supersedes any of their nonsense excuses. I am about to do a run down on this 7 page order now, so you have the sauce, but that is a summary.

MOST. IMPORTANT. CASE. IN. DECADES for Free speech and government overreach. Keep reading.

Here is a link where you can read along:

They filed their appeal to bar CISA, the Surgeon General and the director of Digital Strategy for the White House from having to testify. Their depositions are scheduled for December.

The judge outlines the four criteria the court will use to decide a stay. Note the last one is the Public Interest. Now he will go on to analyze each of these. This is where it gets good, and where we see just how seriously this judge is taking this case.

First the judge chastises them for even filing a mandamus petition in the first place. Basically what the petition is, is asking a higher court to come in and rule that the lower court has done something VERY wrong in its decision making- its basically a slap at the judge and is usually only used when there isn’t other remedy and something is super bad. Recall the General Flynn case where Sidney Powell filed a Writ of Mandamus. THOSE are proper circumstances.

  1. Vivek Murthy needs to sit. The judge quickly outlines why, and the seriousness of the matter. He CLEARLY did act to censor speech or took actions in furtherance of that end goal, and the Plaintiffs need to get him under oath to ask the questions of him they need to fill in the gaps.

Remember, they did a lot of this right in the public eye. A lot of the evidence is their own public comment buttressed by private emails.

“Their hubris will be their downfall”

The government is claiming that these high level officials are protected by privilege. But, they aren’t. See, although they act like a corporate fascist government, we still have a Constitution, and once you email and converse with PRIVATE companies, you lose that privilege. End of story.

  1. Jen Easterly: She DEFINITELY needs to sit. Carefully read the following that the judge placed in this order. It isn’t a question, this is stated as FACT. “ …supervising the “nerve center” of federally directed censorship”

Also, the judge used a higher standard to determine whether they need to testify than was required, and they still failed— they need to sit. This is huge, and I hope I am doing a good job of stressing to you how SERIOUS this really is.

  1. Flaherty: He needs to sit as well, and the judge also declares that the parties aren’t likely to succeed on Mandamus.

The court finds the parties wouldn’t suffer “irreparable harm” by sitting for depositions. (As an aside, one of the reasons given was that Easterly needs her maternity leave… I will just leave that there so you can get a sense of their priorities

“The loss of First Amendment freedoms, even for minimal periods of time, unquestionably constitutes irreparable injury.” Injunctions protecting First Amendment freedoms are always in the public interest. The Court finds that both the public interest and the interest of the other parties in preserving free speech significantly outweighs the inconvenience the three deponents will have in preparing for and giving their depositions.”

This case has brought to the fore a wide reaching, insidious plot to weaponize private business in a fascist attempt to stifle the speech of American citizens. Not only is it the stifling of speech, but it is a weaponization in order to ensure the American people are DECEIVED by government sponsored propaganda. This isn’t surface level; these actions have swayed elections, and caused the DEATH of untold numbers of Americans. It has polarized our society. It is evil. It must be stopped.

Thankfully, it seems this court intends to do just that.
