Since the start of September, the Biden administrationโ€™s National Science Foundation (NSF) and State Department have awarded grants totaling more than $4 million to programs, studies, and other initiatives that target โ€œmisinformationโ€ โ€” a term that the Biden admin has used to demand censorship of content that challenges the federal governmentโ€™s Covid narrative.

The NSF has awarded the following nine grants since September 1:

The State Department has awarded the following five grants since September 1:

These awards were granted as the Biden admin faces a major lawsuit for pressuring Big Tech to censor content that it deems to be misinformation.

An appeals court recently stated that the Biden regime violated the First Amendment when pushing social media platforms to censor and in an Independence Day ruling on this case, a judge described the Biden adminโ€™s actions as โ€œOrwellian.โ€ The Supreme Court is now considering whether to hear the case.

While some of the grants focus have been awarded to non-American organizations, whose misinformation targeting efforts donโ€™t fall under the scope of the First Amendment, these types of programs can result in the speech of Americans being targeted.

For example, Bidenโ€™s State Department has previously funded foreign think tanks that created โ€œdisinformationโ€ blacklists. These blacklists were used to target American conservative media outlets.

Both of the agencies that awarded these grants have been involved in prior censorship controversies.

In addition to funding groups that created disinformation blacklists, Bidenโ€™s State Department has flagged thousands of accounts to Twitter, now known as X, for censorship.

Meanwhile, the NSF has been accused of funding programs that develop tech that targets vaccine dissent and has funded research on correcting โ€œfalse beliefsโ€ online.
