The Colorado Attorney General’s Secret War on Free Speech: Phil Weiser’s Digital Thought Police Are Just Getting Started
DENVER, CO – If you think the Deep State is just a shadowy cabal in Washington D.C., you haven’t been paying attention to what’s happening in the Rocky Mountain state. Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser—the mild-mannered, bow-tie-wearing, former Obama Justice Department official—is quietly building a digital surveillance empire that would make Orwell blush. And if you’re an American who values the First Amendment, you need to stay woke to this.
Let’s connect the dots that the corporate media refuses to touch. Weiser isn’t just a state AG; he’s a foot soldier in a coordinated, multi-state assault on free speech, funded by Silicon Valley billionaires and legacy media elites who want to control the narrative. The mainstream press will tell you Weiser is a “consumer protection” champion. But dig deeper, and you’ll see the real agenda: total dominion over what you can say, share, and think online.
The “Colorado Digital Trust” Act—which Weiser pushed through the state legislature in 2024 with little public scrutiny—is the Trojan horse. On its surface, it claims to “protect children” and “fight misinformation.” We’ve all heard that tune before. It’s the same song they sang when they rammed through Section 230 reforms, the same lyrics from the “Disinformation Governance Board” debacle. But here’s the hidden truth: the Act gives Weiser’s office unprecedented power to demand that social media platforms remove content “in the public interest” without a court order. That means no judge, no jury, no due process.
Think about that for a second. A single state attorney general—an appointed official, not even elected by the entire nation—can now effectively censor content across all 50 states, because tech giants like Meta, X (formerly Twitter), and Google will comply rather than fight a costly legal battle. Weiser knows this. He’s counting on it.
But it gets darker. Weiser’s office has quietly hired a team of “compliance monitors”—former intelligence community analysts and data scientists pulled from the Department of Homeland Security’s disinformation task force. These aren’t consumer protection lawyers; these are people trained to track “malign influence operations” and “domestic extremism.” And guess who gets labeled an “extremist” these days? Anyone who questions election integrity, challenges vaccine mandates, or dares to discuss the “Great Reset” or the “World Economic Forum.” In Weiser’s Colorado, speaking truth to power is now a “digital harm.”
Look at the pattern. Weiser is part of a tight-knit network of Democratic attorneys general who coordinate through the “State AG Project”—a group funded by George Soros’ Open Society Foundations and the Tides Foundation. Their goal? To use state-level power to bypass the First Amendment, since they can’t do it at the federal level. Weiser is the point man for the Western states, a key player in this shadowy alliance that meets behind closed doors to strategize on how to “combat hate and disinformation”—code for silencing conservative voices.
And the evidence is piling up. In early 2025, Weiser’s office sent “information requests” to several Colorado-based alternative media outlets, demanding details on their funding sources, editorial processes, and even their anonymous commenters. These aren’t subpoenas—yet. They’re “voluntary” inquiries. But any journalist worth their salt knows that when the state asks for your source list “voluntarily,” the next step is a gag order and a forced compliance.
Meanwhile, Weiser is cozying up with the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), a UK-based organization that has been labeled by many as a “censorship industrial complex” front. The CCDH has been caught doctoring screenshots and cherry-picking data to get platforms to ban accounts that criticize COVID-19 policies or the trans agenda. Weiser’s office just awarded them a $500,000 “research grant” from Colorado taxpayer dollars—money taken from you to fund the very people who want to silence you.
The American people need to wake up. This isn’t about “protecting children.” That’s the emotional bait. This is about power. Pure, unadulterated power. Phil Weiser is building a digital police state in the shadow of the Rockies, and if you think it can’t happen here, you haven’t been paying attention. Remember, the First Amendment doesn’t just protect speech you agree with—it protects the speech that the powerful want to suppress.
So what can you do? First, stop using the phrase “misinformation.” That word is a weapon, not a description. Second, support local independent media that isn’t funded by the same billionaires who bankroll Weiser’s allies. Third, and most importantly, contact your representatives and demand they repeal the Colorado Digital Trust Act. Because if we let one state attorney general become the arbiter of truth, we’ve already lost the Republic.
Stay woke, America. The fight for free speech is happening in your backyard, and Phil Weiser is the general of the thought police. Don’t let him win.
Final Thoughts
After reading through the arc of Phil Weiser’s tenure as Colorado’s attorney general, it’s clear he’s trying to walk a tightrope that few in his position even attempt: being both a zealous consumer protector and a moderating force on the most aggressive antitrust actions against Big Tech. He rightly sees the existential threat that monopolistic data practices pose to democracy and local journalism, but his insistence on “focused, principled” enforcement sometimes feels like a luxury in an era where the corporate giants have already run roughshod over the rules of the road. Ultimately, Weiser’s legacy may hinge not on whether he took on the tech titans, but on whether his cautious, legalistic approach can actually deliver structural change—or if history will remember him as the guy who drew the line in the sand while the tide had already rushed past it.
