Democrats like Adam Schiff are scrambling to save censorship

Adam Schiff popped up on CNN’s “State of The Union” show Sunday morning to issue barely veiled threats to Elon Musk for trying to restore free speech on Twitter.

Ostensibly, the lame-duck chairman of the House Intelligence Committee joined Jake Tapper to crow about expected charges against Donald Trump on Monday from his January 6 star chamber.

But Schiff moved on to complain about the “big problem right now with social media companies and their failure to moderate content and the explosion of hate on Twitter, the banning of journalists on Twitter.”

Then he suggested ominously that Twitter and social media companies may not continue to enjoy “immunity from responsibility and liability.”

In other words, keep policing free speech as an arm of the federal government or watch your business go up in smoke.

Schiff is a calculated propagandist, who lies under oath as easily as breathing, and knowingly peddles misinformation to Congress and to media outlets like CNN and MSNBC, whose gullible hosts keep bringing him back on their shows to mislead their audiences.

In the dying days of his powerful reign as overseer of the nation’s intelligence agencies, abusing his access to the nation’s secrets, Schiff’s final assignment is to preserve the censorship regime his side of politics entrenched across Big Tech.

‘Cascading failure’

On Tuesday, he and three other Dems he roped in wrote a menacing letter “as part of our ongoing oversight efforts” to Nick Clegg, president of global affairs at Meta (Facebook’s new name), warning that, if the company went down Twitter’s path of free speech, the consequences would be dire. “Dangerous and unfounded election denial content” must be kept off the platform.

Aaron is CIA. Or at least he was until July 2019, when he left his job as a senior analytic manager at the agency to become senior product policy manager for misinformation at Meta, the company that owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. In his 15-year career, Aaron Berman rose to become a highly influential part of the CIA. For years, he prepared and edited the president of the United States’ daily brief, “wr[iting] and overs[eeing] intelligence analysis to enable the President and senior U.S. officials to make decisions on the most critical national security issues,” especially on “the impact of influence operations on social movements, security, and democracy,” his LinkedIn profile reads. None of this is mentioned in the Facebook video.

Without Trump AND Musk - and some other very brave citizens, we'd be living in a police state now...

I gave mine to the NYPD, so I could own a handgun. No doubt they handed it over to the FIBs. But I’m in a country with no extradition treaty with the US.

But you don’t want to be a lightning rod. That’s Trump’s job right now. He can afford the lawyers, already has them on annual retainers. Not us mere plebs.

It’d be nice to see Schiff getting his bug eyes treated by Negan and Lucille.

No one leaves the CIA; some turn their back on it with determination - don't expect them to say too much, however.

Schiff makes a pile of shit seem like a Mensa candidate compared to him.
