As Microsoft courts major victories in Washington including OpenAI’s Project Stargate support and a potential TikTok acquisition, a new report from the Foundation for Freedom Online reveals the tech giant has maintained controversial censorship partnerships and initiatives from the Biden era, including ties to NewsGuard, the establishment pro-censorship group operating a news blacklist against conservative media.
Microsoft has had a good two weeks in Washington DC. Microsft-funded OpenAI received the President’s personal support for Project Stargate, a $500 billion joint venture led by OpenAI to invest in AI infrastructure. And now the software giant founded by creepy Bill Gates is in the running to acquire TikTok, which must be under majority U.S. ownership by April to avert a nationwide ban.
Microsoft has remarkably managed to achieve these early wins in Washington despite the fact that it currently retains virtually all of its Biden-era initiatives that contributed to the online censorship of Americans — particularly Trump supporters and conservative media.
A new report from the Foundation for Freedom Online (FFO) provides a comprehensive overview of Microsoft’s involvement in the censorship-industrial complex.
Chief among them is the company’s partnership with NewsGuard via its “Defending Democracy” initiative. Microsoft has long been NewsGuard’s closest ally in the tech industry, installing the blacklist of disfavored news websites on its Edge browser by default within a year of the censorship-as-a-service company’s founding. The partnership remains in place despite Trump’s FCC Chairman, Brendan Carr, describing NewsGuard as both “orwellian” and a primary component in what he has labeled the “Censorship Cartel.” […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
