A quote attributed to George Orwell states, “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth will be a revolutionary act.” It appears that quote was considerably prescient as Big Tech and the U.S. intelligence apparatus collaborate to retain their narrative.
Former U.N. Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter has been suspended from Twitter for questioning the transparently sketchy circumstances around Bucha, Ukraine.
Regardless of your position on the Ukraine -vs- Russia conflict, the larger concern is the manipulation of information in an increasingly totalitarian era. The entire premise of democracy, speech and open debate is being undermined by the collaboration of tech platforms and the U.S. intelligence apparatus.
In this era of new “democratic norms”, trust in the institutions of government has collapsed. As social media platforms increasingly align their efforts with those collapsing institutions, the battle for your mind carries deadly consequences. Think, while it is still permitted.

Ritter was the subject in two law enforcement sting operations in 2001.[40] He was charged in June 2001 with trying to set up a meeting with an undercover police officer posing as a 16-year-old girl.[41][42] He was charged with a misdemeanor crime of "attempted endangerment of the welfare of a child". The charge was dismissed and the record was sealed after he completed six months of probation.[42][43] After this information was made public in early 2003, Ritter said that the timing of the leak was politically motivated in order to silence his opposition to the Bush administration's push toward war with Iraq.[41][42][44]
Ritter was arrested again in November 2009[45] over communications with a police decoy he met on an Internet chat site. Police said that he exposed himself, via a web camera, after the officer repeatedly identified himself as a 15-year-old girl.[2] Ritter said in his own testimony during the trial that he believed the other party was an adult acting out her fantasy.[46] The next month, Ritter waived his right to a preliminary hearing and was released on a $25,000 unsecured bail. Charges included "unlawful contact with a minor, criminal use of a communications facility, corruption of minors, indecent exposure, possessing instruments of crime, criminal attempt and criminal solicitation".[47] Ritter rejected a plea bargain and was found guilty of all but the criminal attempt count in a Monroe County, Pennsylvania courtroom on April 14, 2011.[2][1] In October 2011, he received a sentence of 1½ to 5½ years in prison.[48] He was sent to Laurel Highlands state prison in Somerset County, Pennsylvania in March 2012 and paroled in September 2014.[49]
Youtube is also systematically locking channels that reveal holes in the claims about war crimes.
Major media outlets posted videos directly from the Ukraine government without any vetting whatsoever, just straight to screen. No standard journalistic operating procedure at all
The EU has stood against any independent investigation. They’re sending their own investigators, a lot of the same guys behind the Assad chemical bombing false flag hoax
Twitter is run by children and needs to be regulated; regardless of whether this guy is a fool or not.
Twitter should be fined a few years worth of revenue for preventing the spread of information affecting a Presidential election.
I wish they wouldn’t, these lies are so weak they add creditability that there were war crimes committed by Russia, by banning them it adds creditability to Putin that they are hiding information in the Western Countries.
Scott has a Telegram channel
Support for Ukraine can not be questioned! They are completely holy and innocent! Do not ask about the bribes or money laundering for the Bidens and other polticians.
Also, as a reminder, do not question Covid, or the quarantines or the vaccines or the masks or we will have to ban you too from participating in the public square.
Now back to your hovels, serfs!
Twitter head engineer says he has been radicalized over Musk. Someone should be looking into what he meant.
Regardless that obviously some here support the twit’s move, their actions raise all kinds of red flags about aligning with the left & their narrative.
But the epidemic continues (STUPID-19 & its recombinant variant, STUPID-22). /s
Now the radicalized chief engineer has protected his tweets so you can’t read them
The same UN weapons team that never found Hussein’s 500 metric tons of yellow cake uranium? Or knew about it but kept their mouth’s shut?
well what did he say? can you summarize?
Twitter is now monitoring and censoring thoughts about politics. Have you noticed how twitter morphed from blocking postings saying the vax didn’t work into the Federal Bureau of Thought Control?
This is no trivial matter for twitter and the other “social media.” They have dedicated a large portion of their staff and development effort to the control of thoughts. Their algorithms examine your postings and rate them on how much they conform to the new norms of thought.
George Orwell could not have imagined anything like this.
Why did Zelensky, by edict, ban all those roving, marauding groups a few weeks ago??
So he could frame Russia?
Scott Ritter has been reinstated on Twitter. Unfortunately many people who question narratives pushed by gov, and Western media whores have not.
Gonzalo Lira Is another live streamer from Kharkov, Ukraine who reports the actual facts on the ground that the woke pro-Zelensky western media refuses. He just reported that he’s beginning to get unsolicited flirty direct messages from alleged 14 year old girls that are “very interested in his political views.” You have to accept the fact that the FBI is constantly doing this stuff to knock out non-narrative voices
End yet the members of the SAFARI police units uploaded the video of “cleansing operation” incriminating them in mass executions in the streets of Bucha.
Russia actually asked for a UN investigation several days ago…and the bid was blocked by the UK.
