The Twitter files: leftism requires censorship
The New Neo ^ | 9 Dec 2022 | New Neo

Posted on 12/12/2022 10:01:37 AM PST by Rummyfan

We on the right knew for years that it was happening. Twitter was not just blocking conservatives outright when they hadn’t actually violated terms of service, but it was also shadow-banning them and subjecting them to a host of other secret machinations – such as a “trends blacklist,” or a “search blacklist” – that inhibited their traffic and stifled their message.

It was widespread and utterly purposeful, and because Twitter has a huge audience and enormous political influence, it mattered. Of course it mattered, and the high-ups at Twitter denied it was happening for the most part.

Yesterday Bari Weiss wrote a series of revealing tweets about the entire process. You can read them more easily than on Twitter by going here, and you can read a discussion of them here.

Bloggers like me have a few thousand readers a day. Even a huge blog like Instapundit probably only reaches something like 220 thousand a day. The New York Times supposedly has close to 11 million subscribers, which is a lot – but nothing like Twitter’s reach, which has 206 million daily active users.

When I read the info on the page and at the analysis site one thing stands out to me and it’s that the use of acronyms and use of language at pre-Elon Twitter strongly resembled that of the cult of Scientology.

I do not think that’s a coincidence.

“Suppress the truth at all cost” is the second part of the leftist Prime Directive, right after “Kill the baby”.

Mind Control. This is what Mind Control looks like, how it is done.

Yes. Leftist Americans are angry at Musk for showing us what the left is doing to us. Think of that!

He is like Trump. But rich.

Ron and Elon, 2024!

Exactly. Its all about control. Everything the Left does seeks that singular goal.

Leftist ideology can not withstand the light of day.

That is why they seek to hide the Truth.

Leftism requires censorship.

Leftism requires disarming the people.

Leftism requires controlling peoples’ movements.

Leftism requires controlling peoples’ finances.

Leftism requires keeping people ignorant.

Leftism requires people to be subservient.

Leftism requires total and absolute ideological conformity.................

So, Mr. “Brain Chip Implant” doesn’t believe in censorship, but does believe in universal basic income and world government?

That’s some kind of juggling act.

Twitter logo = blue bird. Project BLUEBIRD (courtesy of MKULTRA). MK = MindKontrol.

Operation Paperclip:

Operation Paperclip was a secret United States intelligence program in which more than 1,600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians were taken from the former Nazi Germany to the U.S. for government employment after the end of World War II in Europe, between 1945 and 1959. Conducted by the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA), it was largely carried out by special agents of the U.S. Army's Counterintelligence Corps (CIC). Many of these personnel were former members and some were former leaders of the Nazi Party.

Tech, social media, all run by intel. See In-Q-Tel:

In-Q-Tel (IQT), formerly Peleus and In-Q-It, is an American not-for-profit venture capital firm based in Arlington, Virginia. It invests in high-tech companies to keep the Central Intelligence Agency, and other intelligence agencies, equipped with the latest in information technology in support of United States intelligence capability.[4] The name "In-Q-Tel" is an intentional reference to Q, the fictional inventor who supplies technology to James Bond.

The funny part is where it says not-for-profit. Lol! Who says the government doesn’t have a sense of humor?

“Elon cannot be president...”

I was mostly kidding about 2024.

Though, Elon does fill the Trump / Twitter void quite well.

Not only is Elon better at USING it than Trump, he also is doing Freedom’s work in a way Trump literally can’t - by OWNING and controlling it as well.
