FBI Gaslights America Over Twitter Files | Opinion

The FBI is gaslighting the American people over the stunning—if unsurprising—evidence that it engaged in a conspiracy with Big Tech to silence wrongthinkers in violation of the First Amendment, as the Twitter Files have revealed.

Meanwhile, in attacking those who refuse to be gaslit, the bureau is also telegraphing that it would respond to Congress investigating its hyper-politicization and weaponization with relentless information warfare.

The gaslighting comes in the preeminent law enforcement agency's "move along, nothing to see here" response to the Twitter Files....

...The FBI used allegations of "foreign interference" as a cover to pursue domestic wrongthink....Authorities also apparently sought to treat "election misinformation" as a dire threat...But that is only the beginning....thought policing is now a national security imperative....

An unusual article for Newsweek!

About the only people who are hearing the Twitter revelations are the people who already largely knew what was happening at Twitter with the FBI, censorship, etc.

This is a major blockbuster story, that if properly covered, would help this nation to reverse course from its present path toward doom. Instead, it's being treated like a nothingburger, and the commies continue to advance their agenda daily.

It’s a modified limited hangout.

Obama/Holder turned the FBI into a Gestapo

[americas.best.days...]

2022.

The year low IQ people discovered the term gaslighting.

The FBI ruined themselves with the Russia, Russia, Russia lies trying to take out a sitting President who won an election fair and square and their choice lost. Period. I will never believe anyone in the FBI again. Not even those “honest, hard-working lower level” FBI employees.

Yep! See Tagline. Sadly, it ain't a scandal unless the New York Times says it's a scandal and their agenda overrides any journalistic leanings that they may still have.

Read William Nelson post at that article…
The trolls are spouting the same Talking Points; ‘this is another fake Republican conspiracy theory…Move on.’

When you get to the link you will see an embedded Youtube video. Wrongly titled though.
Ron Paul is not and was not a Republican Senator. (Rand Paul is.)
Ron Paul was a Member of the House of Representatives (from Texas) for many years.
Most FReepers already know these details.

“wrongthinkers”
“investigating its hyper-politicization”
“relentless information warfare.”
“domestic wrongthink”
“election misinformation”
“thought policing is now a national security imperative...”

It all sounds so Owellian... And they said 1984 was ‘fiction’.

[kinsman redeemer]

Exactly what I thought.

NEWSWEEK?
