Actually, an “Australian anti-war journalist” might just be a leftist.

Interesting that twitter went after a leftist.

But then, McCain is very popular in the media.

Twitter seems to have a problem with the truth.

Exactly! Free speech only for the chosen.

Her account was reinstated about four hours later after a bunch of her fans caused an uproar.

Meanwhile, Gavin McInnes is still suspended.

Twitter’s allergic to (obvious) truth?

Leftist twitter protecting one of their own; McCain.

It’s not nice wishing anyone dead so howabout and endless coma? As long as he finally just shuts up.

If he’s still conscious I imagine he is in a version of hell I’d rather not experience.

But Twitter is cool with eliminating white people (including McCain)?

How ironic that in 2008 liberals were calling McCain worse than Hitler, now they adore him..McCain is a traitor to his country period, end of story..and the way he allowed(And himself treated) Sarah Palin after everything she tried to do for his sorry ass, that alone should land him in hell

Yep.

Here’s a fun story from a Leftist outlet accusing McCain of Russia collusion:

https://www.thenation.com/article/mccains-kremlin-ties/

No doubt such charges weren’t trumpeted in 2008 because McCain agreed to throw the election to Obama.

Big mistake! Should have been “a better place in which to live”.

I follow @caitoz on Twitter. I don’t agree with some of her views, but she is always civil in her interactions with those who disagree with her opinions.

Not everyone who complains about Twitter’s heavy handed censorship is on the same page idealogically or politically.
I think it was @RVAwonk Caroline O of @shareblue media, and her bot army who reported Caitlyn to get her banned.

BTW, Caitlyn is a very talented writer, artist, poet, and is a heavy hitter in protesting against the continued inhumane treatment of Julian Assange.

My God! It is Deju Vu all over again!

If you took the article you linked to, and inserted Donald Trump instead of John Mc Cain you would almost be dealing with same scenario we are dealing with today.

The players in the article are all the same, Manafort, Gates, Simpson, Jacoby, Derepaska, Ukraine, etc, etc.

I have been studying Yaacov Aplebaum’s computer analysis “ The Mechanics of Deception” It is an exhaustive and objective open source analysis of the Trump Dossier and the surrounding events and people involved. All of the names mentioned in the 2008 article magically reappear in the 2015 - 2017 construction and dissemination of the Trump Dossier.
Speaking of collusion!

Sorry for not re-posting the links. I am not as computer literate as I should be, I just admire those that are. Maybe someone can post the Aplebaum’s link. The work is brilliant but time consuming.

Not a McCain fan!

Timing is everything.

If he Tweeted the same thing back in 2008, he would have been lauded by the same people.
