Walmart Joins List of Companies that Withdraws Advertising from Twitter – Looming Collapse of Platform Evident
At dinner last night, I was questioned about Twitter and the recent remarks of Elon Musk. My opinion is somewhat out of variance with the mainstream considerations.
I believe the demise of Twitter was essentially determined long ago. Musk stepped into a scenario that was tenuous at best, and the government control of the platform was always the fulcrum issue. Musk’s prior intent with the platform may be up for debate; however, against his recent remarks, I would argue Musk is presenting the potential collapse of the platform as a martyr scenario.
Musk said recently the platform may collapse without advertisers, but he will not acquiesce to corporate blackmail. Sounds great, but keep in mind that Musk has known about the fulfillment of the DOJ search warrant for user data since January of this year; we only recently discovered it. Put that background reality into the overlay of your opinion, given the year of comments about users shared by Musk, and the known lack of platform privacy.
Musk knew as an outcome of the platform fulfillment of the court order, the release of all user metadata who supported, followed, liked, or shared the tweets of Donald Trump, that the government created the “his kind” list earlier this year. Yet, he never discussed the issue of compromised privacy throughout his commentary; he did exactly the opposite while assuring people the platform would protect users. [Ex. How did the encrypted DM promise work out?]
Now Musk positions himself as the martyr, the victim of leftist targeting…. and his hired CEO Linda Yaccarino is doing the same thing [SEE HERE]. What better way to guide the platform into a controlled collapse than to be a martyred hero as the Twitter platform potentially disappears. Just think about it.

NewsGuard threat to free speech — Mike Benz
Silenced by Tommy Robinson
This documentary explores the manipulation of news stories, the consequences faced by truth-seekers, and the unholy alliance between the media, justice system, and politicians. It focuses on a playground incident between two boys, Bailey and Jamal, which became a global news event. The film questions the accountability of the media, the effectiveness of the legal system, and the treatment of dissidents in the UK. It reveals testimonies that contradict the mainstream narrative and highlights the threats and hate comments received by both boys.

Still ‘Freedom of Speech, Not Reach’ on Xwitter but it could be worse
Musk is doing more than most. Assuming he is sincere, he is up against a host of malevolent adversaries. Obviously, freedom of speech, not reach is not freedom of speech, But Musk’s predicament is severe. Advertising money rules. If you want unvarnished truth & opinion, you will find it on small sites and in your own kitchen if you dare to speak freely there. ABN

New push to free Julian Assange
A BIPARTISAN DUO in Congress has launched a fresh effort to push President Joe Biden to drop the Department of Justice’s extradition request against Julian Assange and to stop prosecutorial proceedings against him.
Reps. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., and Thomas Massie, R-Ky., are asking their colleagues in the House to sign on to a letter to the Biden administration by Thursday, noting that opposing Assange’s prosecution is important not only for press freedom, but also to maintain credibility on the global stage.
McGovern, a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus who co-chairs the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission in Congress, told The Intercept that the charges against Assange are part of an alarming global trend of increasing attacks against the press, including in the U.S. “The bottom line is that journalism is not a crime,” he wrote in a statement. “The work reporters do is about transparency, trust, and speaking truth to power. When they are unjustly targeted, we all suffer the consequences. The stakes are too high for us to remain silent.”
More than a meme
This is more than a meme. It is a check list of why freedom of speech is of crucial importance to any and all thriving civilizations. Each of these topics, and many more, conclusively demonstrate that intelligent people with minority views are often—nay, usually—right, while those who censor, ban, and deplatform are always wrong; always because in the heat of the moment it is always wrong to ban minority or non-government-approved views. The strangle-hold on Xwitter, forced by the ADL, known with sickening smugness as ‘freedom of speech without freedom of reach’, has cost and will continue to cost society millions of human lives and trillions of dollars. When speech is restricted, bad actors hide in dark. ABN

‘We own the science and we think that the world should know it’ — a moron with power
This is Melissa Fleming, the UN under-secretary-general for global communications, speaking an outrageous and harmful lie. We are ruled by incompetents—and this is but one example—who have zero respect for others and zero wisdom or even appropriate knowledge for their fields. It is good that she speaks her mind so we can see how poorly it works. These are the kinds of people who are crazy to control the information all human beings need to live fulfilling lives; and that is the epitome of delusion. ABN
Dr Clare Craig on the propaganda which fueled covid policies
Covid is our best lived-example of Big Government mind-control, propaganda, and anti-science. I hope everyone who lived through this will burn this example into their memories. I am certain we will need to rely on it again, and again. We see similar in the pseudoscience of AGW, the Ukraine War, the southern border, government lawlessness and bribes. I sense a sea change in Europe and USA happening now. Some good may yet come of such enormous corruption and malfeasance. ABN
