(WND News Center)—Not sure exactly where the Constitution has confirmed a government freedom to censor, but that’s apparently what a federal judge has discovered, in order to rule that the organization formerly named the Global Engagement Center and assigned to censor Americans must stay alive.
It is the Federalist confirming that while U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the Center Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference Hub, formerly known as the GEC, was dead, a judge said otherwise.
It is Susan Illston, a judge in the leftist enclave of San Francisco, who has, “through the miraculous powers of an activist judge,” has said no, the report said.
The organization must remain, she is claiming.
The report described GEC, or R-FIMI under its new name, as “the creepy censorship arm within the Department of State that curtails free speech.”
The focal point of the argument, the report said, is “whether the president has the authority to reorganize the federal workplace and trim excess employees or if only unelected local judges have that authority for the entire nation.”
Illston also claimed, in taking over responsibilities of the Executive Branch, “If the State Department has any question about whether planned actions fall within the scope of the court’s injunction, the court orders the department to first raise those questions with the court before taking action.”
Illston’s rant comes because of the president’s agenda to find and eliminate waste, fraud, corruption and criminal activity in the government’s spending programs. He created the Department of Government Efficiency to address the problems.
Illston earlier had used a legal filing from the American Federation of Government Employees and the AFL-CIO to try to destroy Trump plans to save money.
“Rubio made the case that the State Department is not subject to the injunction and planned to move forward with cutting employees and sunsetting R-FIMI, until Illston’s order put that on pause,” the report said.
The ex-GEC organization was assembled by Barack Obama in 2016 and funded with $50 million a year.
The federal tax dollars it got, “helped grease the wheels of the Russian election interference hoax that marred Trump’ first term. The agency was used instead to pressure tech companies to meddle in the 2020 election,” the report said.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
