California's state Democrats pass the 'Stop Nick Shirley Act' to shut down independent journalism

California, why do you consistently vote these Democrats into office?

 Monica Showalter  

The rigging runs deep, and once more, Democrats are willing to shut down all other rights to preserve it. So now they're trying to shut down free speech, upset at Shirley's exposés, and favoring keeping voters in the dark so the scams can go on.

"In California, Nick Shirley's exposés of flaming fraud and open-air corruption annoyed a lot of special interests with powerful hands in the state's political scene.

"So, to stop the likes of Shirley and all his videomaking exposing huge swathes of fraud -- by so-called daycare operators both in Minneapolis and San Diego, as he did -- the state legislature, led by Mia Bonta, wife of the state attorney general Rob Bonta, who missed all of the corruption, has put out a bill, AB2624, supposedly to protect immigration and other controversial NGOs from being exposed in the act by video.

"Opponents call it the 'Stop Nick Shirley Act,' and sure enough, California's ruling one-party legislature passed it.

"According to WABC Radio:  

(Sacramento, California) – California lawmakers have passed AB 2624, a bill critics have dubbed the “Stop Nick Shirley Act,” and sent it to Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Supporters say the measure is designed to protect immigration-service providers, employees and volunteers from harassment, doxxing and threats.

The bill would create new privacy protections for people connected to immigration-support services who face threats because of their work.

Critics argue the legislation could chill undercover-style investigations, online exposés and public scrutiny of immigration organizations.

"The timeline of this rubbish makes it pretty clear that the purpose of the bill was to shut down independent journalism of the high-impact kind that Shirley has perfected, and allow the corruption to fester, the better to harvest the votes that come of it." . . . More.
