New Twitter Files raise question of how independent pre-Musk company was from Biden administration

Where did the Biden administration end and Twitter begin?

The latest batch of the Twitter Files, reported by former Senate Finance Committee investigator Paul Thacker from records turned over by the Elon Musk-owned company now called X, shows a curious timeline in the first couple months of Democratic President Joe Biden's term.

Within two weeks of the inauguration, the company covertly hired a "global strategic advisory and commercial diplomacy services" firm cofounded and chaired by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright to seek State's help dealing with censorship pressure from India.

On the two-month anniversary of the Biden administration, Politico reported on a new "blob" that had formed from alumni from the firm, Albright Stonebridge. At least 10 had taken top foreign-policy jobs including United Nations ambassador, deputy secretary of state, two undersecretaries of state, and deputy national assistant security adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris.

Another became chief of staff to the now-Democratic nominee for president's husband, first gentleman Doug Emhoff.

The new tranche of internal emails "calls into sharp question claims by Democrats," including House Weaponization of the Federal Government Subcommittee ranking member Delegate Stacey Plaskett, "and their allies in the media that Twitter did not collude with federal agencies and was free from Biden administration pressure to make its own censorship decisions," Thacker wrote.

The Biden administration was directing social media companies on which speech should be allowed and which should be suppressed.

Anyone who says otherwise is lying.

Are you kidding? They are just another mouth piece for the deep state.

I've been saying for years that the first amendment must be applied to all massive communications platforms, because if they are not *FORCED* to allow freedom of speech, the deep state will behind the scenes *FORCE* them to censor people the deep state wants censored.

If they are allowed to censor people for this made up bullsh*t reason of "private company" they *WILL* become a tool of the government, which can threaten with whatever it takes to force them to comply.

We cannot allow any major platforms to censor any content from Americans. Even now European governments are locking up people who are refusing to censor their government prohibited speech.

Kamala Harris has been among the leaders of the Democrat Politburo running the White House, since her chief of staff:

Karine Jean-Pierre

replaced Jen Psakis as spokes-whatever.

Is my guess.

The Anarcho-Marxist Exremist Brandon Junta was censoring via the DNC and Communist Media way before Brandon was installed.

This election is 100% about Free Speech and Assembly.

If Trump Loses, R2JBA will immediately disappear, count on it.

Exactly, which is a cardinal tip-off of Fascism.

“Oh don’t vote for Trump. He’ll turn this nation fascist!”

And how do you turn a fascist nation fascist?
