[SEE ALL THE TWEET LINKS AT SITE....TOO MANY TO POST..............]
The Twitter files on the government's coordination with Twitter to silence experts and control the narrative around Covid just dropped and I just have to say, the "conspiracy theorists" are batting 1000.
It's not surprising that these things were happening.
Anyone who was paying attention KNEW that the government was pressuring Twitter to censor inconvenient facts if they contradicted the official state narrative.
David Zweig – a journalist who has written for The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, New York Magazine, The New York Times, The New Yorker, and Wired – documents the ways in which Twitter gave up its responsibility to free speech and caved to government pressure and used improper methods to censor legitimate and true speech.
Check it out:
It wasn't unique to the Biden administration to work with social media to control the public narrative, the state agencies under the Trump administration did the same thing.
The Trump administration worked to calm people who were panic buying and making runs on grocery stores. And this also shows that the government, to no one's surprise, was not just working with Twitter.
Then we have the Biden admin come in to really push the vaccines and squelch anyone who spoke out against the Fauci ouchie, and target #1 was Alex Berenson.
We've known for a few months that Twitter unfairly targeted Berenson and that the government was in on it. This just reveals that, in order to push the vax, the government was aiming specifically at him.
The report continues:
The Biden administration was so censorious that they thought Twitter, which was busy nuking accounts for sharing CDC data, wasn't doing ENOUGH to censor tweets.
TWITTER was more pro-free speech than the BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.
Let that sink in.
Of course, this doesn't mean Twitter was defending speech.
They reviewed and then suspended a Harvard medical expert, not because he was wrong, but because he disagreed with the CDC's jab recommendation.
In the same way MANY doctors and experts worldwide disagreed with indiscriminate vaccinations.
And this sort of thing happened over and over and over again.
The tweet was locked for citing CDC data to debunk a FALSE tweet that Twitter left up.
It wasn't about stopping misinformation.
It was about pushing an agenda.
They suspended this account from Twitter because they said something that was simply true.
But they have to control the narrative.
The mind rot on display here, from Twitter and the government, is beyond comprehension.
Lastly, check out how Twitter handled decisions relating to President Trump.
These folks at Twitter had been watching too much CNN, I guess.
I remember the mainstream media blowup when Trump, rightly, told people not to be dominated by Covid.
This was seen by some on the wacky Left as a dangerous message and the people in charge of Twitter bought into that same nonsense.
At the end of the thread, Zweig asks all the right questions:
What might have been if Twitter, and other social media companies, had allowed free speech to happen and didn't simply comply with the government's agenda-driven message?
Unfortunately, we'll never know.
The real question for the future is this: How do we stop it from happening again?
The tin foil hat crowd was right about almost everything..
They are fake accounts for the vast majority of them.
The rest are brain dead idiots.
“You Are GMO, just like ergot resistant corn.”
You made that up
Our government has forfeited the moral authority to decide anything involving our health or welfare, and being right about anything will not restore it.

Human medicine is now experiencing the same results as have veterinarians have been having combating the Coronaviruses for forty years. Making a vaccine to a Coronavirus is like trying to nail jello to the wall. The best way to get through the Coronavirus outbreaks is to let the virus mutate into a non virulent form naturally.The mRNA injections only encourage mutations into another virulent form.
Can't be. Musk owns the company now. Those were supposed to be done away with.
I hadn’t thought about not getting ergot.
🤦♂️🤷♂️👌👍............................
But of course, Trump has learned all the right lessons and the second time around will not repeat the same mistakes because of his well-known penchant for reflection, introspection, and course correction.
Twitter didn’t “cave to government.” They, ESPECIALLY Jack Dorsey, were willing participants.
I have a SIL who I dearly love who was forced to get the jab. She went from a really strong athletic type to one fighting migraines, exhaustion and lowered resistance to anything. It’s heartbreaking to see her. She’s been contemplating disability because of her weakened condition. And because of this her work is thinking of terminating her (and they were the cause!). I’m so angry.
Why do you think they aren’t vaccines?
I’m developing a real contempt for people who think we’re going to vote our way out of this. I can’t even listen to that crap anymore.
Even if Trump did the same thing, he was operating in good faith on the advice of people he thought had the best interest of the American people.
The spooks have controlled Twitter for many years. I know, I've been there long enough to see the footprint. Since 2009.
Some of the things they have done for the military, are good. The crap inside the USA is illegal in any form.
When it comes to the Alphabetic agencies? They don't care. They have yet to be susceptible to control of any form. (Funding once worked, not now)
