Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey gaslights his readers, deludes himself
American Thinker ^ | 01/14/2021 | Monica Showalter

The man who shut down the Twitter feed of the leader of the free world, while leaving the Chicoms, Nicolas Maduro, and Iran's mullahs safe to continue tweeting bile, would have you think he's all in for free speech and kumbaya.

In a bizarre string of tweets, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey waxed about the "noble ideals" of the Internet and how he's just constantly striving to be better. No creepy gray little "Lives of Others" censor's life for him, opening everyone's mail and reporting what he doesn't like to the authorities.

Nope, he'd have you think that he's Mr. Free Speech, and he's all in for whirled peas, with this string of tweets claiming as much.

Which sounds like Davos-type stuff, but also strange as hell from the man who shut down President Trump in order to deprive him any capacity to speak to his 80 million followers. He silenced his company's biggest voice, and his stock took a tumble.

Same as typical state censors, he cites "safety" concerns.

Dorsey apparently knew how bad some of this stuff sounded, so in addition to his attempt to gaslight us all about his supposed fealty to free speech, he also started to follow top Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, who made a stunning string of tweets blasting Dorsey's naked censorship. Jack only follows 4,520 people on Twitter from among 5.1 million followers. Apparently, Navalny, who is so dangerous to the Russia regime he was actually poisoned in the previous year, got his attention.

But he certainly didn't get Jack to change his behavior.

Jack's blather then got worse, here is another what-planet-is-he-on string of tweets:



So Jack, who's a San Francisco leftist, would have us think he never celebrated the Twitter banning of Trump? No shimmy of pleasure, no thrill up his leg? He reminds me again of Nancy Pelosi, who during Trump's first impeachment, assured that she, too, didn't impeach lightly. This of course, before the videos got out of the Democrats partying hearty, giggling and dancing, with their famous impeachment commemorative pens in tow. Pelosi of course, told them to keep that out of the public eye.

Jack kept gaslighting with his remark about Internet companies shutting down Trump in a strange cartel-like unison, claiming they all acted independently. Every single one, coming to the same conclusion, at the same time, and all of them shutting him down at once. Sound believable? Don't think so.

As one who has been on social media since BBSes started, I note that such services have a distinct life cycle. Twitter & Facebook are entering their decline phase, having finally given a great many users reason to go elsewhere.

How long until God takes down the internet?

Don't spend much time guessing "how".

THIS JUST IN-—Big Tech lets the FBI and DOJ “monitor” social media platforms.......and who else in L/E and intel is “monitoring” us?

REFERENCE: The Obama-corrupted FBI and the DOJ admitted on Monday that, via monitoring social
media platforms, they were aware of both the left and the right’s plans to mount an effort to storm the Capitol. .......

Yet, the FBI chose to do nothing more than send out the most rudimentary, standard warnings to the Capitol Police and other L/E officials.


As Biden awaits his orders from his masters in China, we have only to observe
China’s crackdown on Hong Kong to see what direction Biden/China will move the US.

A Hong Kong internet provider has blocked access to a website following a police order
this is the first confirmed crackdown using a new “national security law” imposed in 2020 by Beijing.


Instances of Big Tech trampling free speech abound: including Pres Trump, Parler, Trump’s defenders in Congress, and we, the people.....

The vengeful Prog/Lib Biden/China blacklisting has begun.

“Big Tech”.....(snicker).

They are a ghoulish reincarnation of tin pot dictators behind the Iron Curtain, in SE Asia, assorted Middle East hellholes....and Hong Kong.

Stocks down about 20% since its high last month. Falling some today. I expect the trend will continue. He cost stockholders billions of dollars. It’s fall can not happen soon enough.

If I had any stocks in the company I would sure sell them now..Same with Facebook. You can’t have it both ways. If you want to operate like a Chinese company, then you will suffer the same fate. Welcome to China comrades Dorsey and Zuckerberg.

"Jack seems committed to keeping free speech alive on the internet. Maybe hear him out and work with him. Going your own separate way is the shortest road to irrelevance."

I’ve seen bums on the street that would look better on a GQ cover than Jack Dorsey.
