(WND)—One of the biggest fights in America today is the war against the Biden administration’s efforts to “block, ban, remove, de-platform, de-boost, restrict, or otherwise deny equal access or visibility” to tech platform users.
And one of those battling those programs, illustrated by the FBI’s interference in the 2020 election when it told media corporations to suppress information about Biden family scandals documented in a computer abandoned by Hunter Biden at a repair shop, is the Rutherford Institute.
“Technofascism is the modern-day equivalent of book burning, which does away with controversial ideas and the people who espouse them,” explained constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute and author of “Battlefield America: The War on the American People.”
He said, “As the Supreme Court itself recognized, ‘The people lose when the government is the one deciding which ideas should prevail.’ Once you allow government agencies and corporations to determine what viewpoints are ‘legitimate’ and which are not, you’re already moving fast down a slippery slope that ends with the censorship of all viewpoints altogether other than that of the government and its corporate allies.”
The organization has filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the Supreme Court in the case Murthy v. Missouri.
The case isn’t complicated. It charges the federal government with violating the free speech rights under the First Amendment by “coercing and significantly encouraging social media companies to silence any viewpoints at odds with the government.”
Those include views on COVID, fraud in the 2020 election and more.
The organization explained, “For years now, federal officials from the White House, the Surgeon General’s Office, CDC, FBI and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency have been in regular contact with nearly every major American social media company about the spread of ‘misinformation’ on their platforms, urging them to remove disfavored content and accounts…”
In response those corporations, often run by extremely wealthy leftists, “gave government officials access to an expedited reporting system, downgraded or removed flagged posts, and deplatformed users.”
Those corporations also reported to their government handlers.
The result was a First Amendment lawsuit where the judge first hearing the complaint called the government’s scheming “Orwellian” and akin to that writer’s “Ministry of Truth,” which in fact promoted lies.
“It was government officials who were pulling the strings through private communications and threats,” Rutherford said. “Plaintiffs in the lawsuit include two epidemiologists who criticized COVID-19 lockdowns; a psychiatrist who opposed lockdowns and vaccine mandates; the owner of Gateway Pundit, a once-deplatformed news site; and the states of Missouri and Louisiana, whose attorneys general asserted their interests in protecting their citizens and the free flow of information
“In siding with the plaintiffs, both the trial court and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed that government officials ‘engaged in a broad pressure campaign’ by ‘relentlessly’ asking the platforms to remove disfavored content (including ‘anti-vaccine’ content which did not contain actionable misinformation), making ‘uncompromising demands’ to moderate content, and threatening to retaliate against inaction with the prospect of legal reforms and enforcement actions”
The case now is pending at the U.S. Supreme Court, where government officials are claiming they have the right to censor opinions that are expressed in America. if they in fact disagree with the Biden admniistration.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
