Filing this one under humor, pseudoscience, mind control, and propaganda. This miserable little video illustrates how far apart we are, how governments can be so wrong when free-speech is repressed. ABN
THE TWITTER FILES: HOW TWITTER RIGGED THE COVID DEBATE
– By censoring info that was true but inconvenient to U.S. govt. policy – By discrediting doctors and other experts who disagreed – By suppressing ordinary users, including some sharing the CDC’s *own data*
2. So far the Twitter Files have focused on evidence of Twitter’s secret blacklists; how the company functioned as a kind of subsidiary of the FBI; and how execs rewrote the platform’s rules to accommodate their own political desires.
3. What we have yet to cover is Covid. This reporting, for The Free Press, @TheFP, is one piece of that important story.
4. The United States government pressured Twitter and other social media platforms to elevate certain content and suppress other content about Covid-19.
This shows that even though we are in the midst of an asymmetric war against Western civilization, many of us can see what is happening and fully understand why voices of reason and truth are consistently suppressed. ABN
State Governments caught censoring “election misinformation” using Twitter Partner Portal to unconstitutionally censor 1st Amendment rights of American citizens
1/After President Trump won in 2016, the Democrat Party pushed the Russia Collusion narrative to delegitimize his administration
Many federal, state, and NGO entities ramped-up censorship efforts online in the name of stopping “foreign interference”
2/California passed Elections Code §10.5, which created the Office of Elections Cybersecurity in 2018 to “educate voters” with “valid information” through empowering election officials (“OEC”)
This mandate quickly and predictably devolved into a political weapon for censorship
Twitter Files 9 – State Governments caught censoring “election misinformation” using Twitter Partner Portal to unconstitutionally censor 1st Amendment rights of American citizens:
Facebook currently employs at least 115 people, in high-ranking positions, that formerly worked at FBI/CIA/NSA/DHS:
17 CIA 37 FBI 23 NSA 38 DHS
2. All, but a few, of the former intelligence agents were hired, by Facebook after the 2016 Presidential Election & after the FBI established their social media-focused task force FTIF.
3. As @mtaibbi detailed in #TwitterFiles Part 6, we know there was massive coordination of censorship between the FBI & Twitter during 2020-2022.
This is asymmetric warfare. Many of these people see themselves as soldiers, “combatants against misinfo.” And you can be certain many of them have handlers or superior officers who control battalions and regiments of hostile actors within the borders of USA, working in many other areas besides information-control. Covid has had the grisly benefit of showing anyone who cares to look how deep and dirty this side of our society is, riddled with self-righteous parasites and enemy combatants who are feeding on the wealth of this nation while disrupting all of the societal organizations that created it.

I’m not going to write extensively about this because I respect your intellectual ability to see the obvious. Questions have been raised about why the Twitter File releases appear to have been structured in a fashion to protect government interests.
Well, the new Bari Weiss website that was set up to launch as an exclusive outcome of the Twitter File release, includes a current contributor and former 2020 control officer of the DOJ who would have facilitated the DHS/FBI contact with social media; the stuff that is transparently missing from the Twitter File releases.
Yes, former AG Bill Barr is a content partner with Twitter File narrative engineer Bari Weiss. Gee, I wonder how that happens?
Oh look, and what a coincidence… they are both promoting Ron DeSantis.
This kind of information reveals the narrative control networks and how they are arranged and interact. Who the players are and how they are connected. At near-the-top levels they all speak with the same voice. At higher levels of control all sides of whatever issue are enfolded into the network as controlled opposition. We can be sure about Barr and quite sure about Weiss but may still wonder about Musk. What role is he playing? Is he controlled opposition, a limited hangout, a red-herring or a real person with an active spirit and imagination? I can forgive his too-early support of DeSantis as maybe he does not understand American politics.
Maybe Musk is fooling his handlers and will dump all the Twitter documents exposing all the crimes just before Christmas. I am willing to wait awhile and listen to him charitably. We can be sure he is under enormous pressure to submit to control. I am certain there is a very large carrot and a very large stick hanging over him and he knows it in detail. And he knows what happened to Ye, whose handler he may even share. ABN
VAERS is an example of free speech with no reach. VAERS was made to be an early warning system. It is screaming vaccine injury but the-powers-that-be are entirely ignoring it. Elon, do you see the danger of using word games to limit free speech?
A note to the mentally challenged: yes, you can’t yell fire or threaten people. What needs to be free is topics. Science, virology, history, religion, culture, race, psychology, AGW, socialism, etc—no topic can be excluded from our God-given right, or natural right if you prefer, to speak our minds. And no opinion on any topic can be excluded. Wrong views and stupid ideas will fall away on their own. We saw that happen beautifully within the banned and censored covid-science community, which has been a million times better than the official pure shit pseudoscience spewed by CDC, FDA, NIAID, NIH, and all of MSM. Their “curated” garbage had all the reach in the world and produced an unmitigated disaster. ABN

“Individuals that have been associated with the US military” have participated in an online propaganda campaign, Meta’s latest adversarial-threat report said. Not only did Facebook (now Meta) confirm its existence but went on further by saying the US military clandestine information warfare on social media was ineffective.
According to the report, published by Facebook, the US network — linked to individuals associated with the US military — operated across many internet services and focused on countries like Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Somalia and Yemen.
The campaign was the first major covert pro-US propaganda operation taken down by a big-tech company and so far the only one. Facebook claims it removed 39 accounts, 16 pages, and two groups, as well as 26 accounts on Instagram, for violating the platforms’ policy against “coordinated inauthentic behavior”.
This is funny because FB is the largest “covert US propaganda operation” in the world and it is most definitely targeting Americans directly. Come to think of it, maybe Google is bigger. When anyone says “US propaganda operation,” a very important question is, whose US? ABN
CTH has not visited the various Twitter stories recently, quite frankly because we are ambivalent to them. It just seems illogical for Elon Musk to have purchased Twitter without any idea of what was happening inside Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop, the public-private partnership that structures the operations of the social media company known as Twitter.
That said, some interesting developments recently as media rail against the platform and organized ultra-leftist groups demand advertising boycotts. Apparently, Apple and Android are threatening to remove the Twitter App and Mr. Musk is doubling down on exposing the matrix of how the U.S. government was working with Twitter toward controlling speech that was against their interests.
“New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.” -Elon Musk 11-18-22
Every now and then someone new comes around and claims to support free speech. I do my best to give you my analysis of the situation objectively. This is often difficult to do in my position as the CEO of Gab because so many people dismiss my insight as “envy” or “fear” when in reality I’m just doing what I always do and calling it how I see it. I don’t say this to be braggadocios, but as a matter of fact I am the foremost expert in the world when it comes to free speech online and so my opinion on these matters holds weight.
I’ve spent six years building the only platform on the internet that upholds First Amendment-protected political speech as the baseline for what is allowed to be posted. I’ve paid the price for this policy, getting banned from App Stores, banks, payment processors, hosting providers, and dozens of other services. No other platform can make this claim, certainly not Musk’s Twitter.
If you’ll remember I was correct about Parler and their use of AI to censor, I was correct about Rumble and their “hate speech” terms of service, and I was correct about Gettr using AI to censor as well. All of them claim to support free speech and all of them bent the knee to the Regime powers and censor “hate speech.” Twitter under Elon Musk is no different and my analysis about this situation will be right as well. Believe me now or thank me later. Take it or leave it.
The example of how much better uncurated science has done during the pandemic than the curated kind proves that free speech does not lead to mayhem or even hurt feelings. It leads to better information. If real science had not been censored by government, social media, Twitter, and MSM, we would probably not even remember covid today. Real uncurated science found effective early treatments for covid within one year, thus precluding any need for a vaccine. Real uncurated science also identified the danger of Remdesivir, ventilators, and the experimental vaccines. The correct algorithm to use on Twitter is Twitter users being allowed to view what they want to. ABN
Based on some data collected at the website: OPENVAET (nice play on acronyms there) our RG colleague notes that the bans really started coming in after the first Biden VAX mandated at the beginning of September 2021 and then directly after Elon’s first signs of wanting to pursue Twitter.
