The Federalist

The American Stasi Controls What You Hear And See To Control What You Think And Do

The collaboration between Big Tech, federal agencies, and corporate media is described as a coordinated effort to exert control and influence over public perception, effectively forming what author Sean Davis terms the "American Stasi." Drawing parallels to the oppressive tactics of the Soviet-era Stasi, Davis asserts that these entities function as interconnected systems within a single organism, working towards a common goal of consolidating power. He highlights how Big Tech facilitates censorship, federal agencies conduct surveillance, and corporate media disseminates propaganda, all to serve the regime's interests. Davis argues that this collusion undermines democratic principles and individual freedoms, illustrating examples like Russiagate and COVID-19 responses to emphasize the pervasive influence of the American Stasi. He warns against complacency, urging readers to recognize and resist these manipulative tactics to safeguard democracy.
