Mockingjays were essentially created by accident. The father of the species was the jabberjay, a breed of exclusively male birds that were created as muttations by the Capitol. Initially created to eavesdrop on rebels during the Dark Days, jabberjays had the ability to memorize entire conversations and repeat them back to their Capitol handlers. However, once the rebels realized this, they simply fed endless lies to the birds, and sent them back loaded with false information.

If this was done so the final decision is done outside Twitter Safety, I wouldn't mind. But it reminds me WAY too much how the Chinese government controls Sina Weibo, WeChat and Tencent QQ, the most prominent social media platforms in that country.

This rich Marxist backers come from another planet. It’s surely not that you don’t understand the concept of free speech; it’s that they think they’re riich enough and smart enough to be in charge of what everyonoe thinks. They are dictators .

You reminded me, and how could I forget?

We just had an anniversary of her prediction.

AOC made her prediction on 01/22/2019.

We only have ten years left.

Only against the Democrat government. When it was a Republican government then they shut down communications from the government.

As I have said before, I ran into a person like that. Had casual conversation with them for over a year. That ending scene is spot-on.

Eventually. That is actually the end game.

Oh, they’ll pretend it’s not. They’ll be all about a “globally-inclusive world religion”.

Revelation 13 has the details (for lurkers).

I wonder if the guys who run Twitter and Facebook both came up with the same idea at the same time;

“Hey we’re doing great. Maybe too great. Let’s ban all non leftists and their values. That will get us to My Space relevance in no time.”

Join as something innocuous so you do not get banned. My cat has an account and tweets to other kitties. Rather run, actually.

Here’s birdwatch:

I was thinking of the Obama era Attack Watch, which became a punchline shortly after it was rolled out.
