Why You Need to Start Paying Attention to the 'Twitter Files'

This is an article to show your haughty, “know-it-all” brother-in-law who thinks our government is somehow squeaky clean.

The “Twitter Files” have now officially had more sequels than Planet of the Apes and can be difficult to absorb. Thus, I don’t think they’re getting the attention they deserve.

For those of you not following the “Twitter Files” drops, let me catch you up on what I believe are some of the most important parts:

The FBI paid Twitter $3.5 million to censor conservatives. The FBI pressured Twitter to give them information that would legally require warrants, though they did not have warrants. Leading up to the 2020 election, the FBI would eventually hold weekly meetings with Twitter and tell them whose tweets to squelch and which accounts they wanted to be suspended. Almost all were those of conservatives. The FBI knew the Hunter Biden laptop story was real, they knew it was coming out — weeks before the 2020 election — and they told Big Tech to expect a “Russian disinformation” drop and squelch the story. That means the FBI corrupted the election to help Joe “totally showered with his daughter, Ashley” Biden. There are so many former FBI employees at Twitter that they have their own Slack channel.

Let’s all pretend that Twitter is important.

Tell me, how many opinions have YOU formed due to Twitter?

The FBI knew the Hunter Biden laptop story was real, they knew it was coming out — weeks before the 2020 election

This means on top of being involved in influencing the election, the FBI was spying on the Trump campaign to get intel for the Dems.

Your know-it-all brother in law laughs at how easy it is to defaud you because of all his sides know-it-allness.

The left have no sense of selfpreservation. They are easily swindled into voting against their own self interests.

They want to pay their fair share even when the government reaches into their pocket and takes it from them without asking.

Their gullability and stupidity is as boundless as it is predictable.

Bob Dole was the first victim of this info shaping. He had Bill Clinton guilty cold with the blue dress. The media circled their wagons and left Dole saying, where’s the outrage? The twitter files are getting a similar treatment as the blue dress.

“Let’s all pretend that Twitter is important.”

_______________

It is important to the people who are on it and hence, because of the sheer magnitude of the people on it, it has an important role in public discourse. Twitter members’ beliefs matter because they do vote and many of them believe what they read on Twitter and do what influencers on Twitter ask them to do. Many of those influencers are our government officials, both overtly and covertly shaping public opinion, beliefs and public policy.

The FBI is corrupt. But Twitter was their willing partner and collaborators as criminals against the people of the United States.

Democrats are always Democrats first.

Being an American is way down on their list.

also remember that Ross Perot resurfaced from hiding for 4 years just in time to help Clinton beat Dole. What a coincidence ...

If you go to Twitter you’ll find more people than you want to believe that will believe anything they’re told and use Twitter to form their opinion.

They’re some of the dumbest people on the planet.

And proof that they are the most subservient people on the planet. Interestingly, so many of them have rainbow and Ukraine flags next to their names.

Any rational person might haver your opinion of Twitter, but now that Twitter & Facebook are being exposed as govrenment Special Ops creating false brainchild owners, and monetizing them as stock issuing corporations.

I actually wormed my way out of getting involved with Facebook while working for the State Department, in part because I told the guy from the other agency I was aware I could not do it due to my job description, but I would work on it as required in my off time. I didn’t have to do much when arriving in Rio, and the Public Affairs guy upon his arrival was rather hostile about the whole thing. Seem’s he didn’t like me professionally just like I don’t like (but had to work with/for) “people who lie for a living”, e.g., spooks.
