I found this thread on Twit HERE<<
This is his synopsis of the file dump by Musk
No imagine what the other "tech" companies are doing...... Irish
What is the
real story of the Twitter Files? It's a much bigger deal than many realize.
Benjamin Carlson spent hours reading the great reporting (now thousands of words in 7+
parts) by @mtaibbi, @bariweiss, and @ShellenbergerMD.
Here are 7 crucial takeaways everyone needs to know:
1. History
changed because of this:
•Hunter Biden's alleged corruption censored
•Covid 19 lockdown debate stifled
•Trump silenced
You may agree with each decision. But there is no denying that halting
information flow and free debate had real consequences.
2. Many
things called conspiracy theories were true:
•FBI was working w Twitter and paid TW $ millions
•Blacklists & shadow bans were real
•US intel lobbied to censor accounts
•Covid-19 convo heavily manipulated
•Twitter rules changed & enforced by whim
3.
Censorship is being cloaked in the language of safety:
• 'Safety, harm, violence' redefined to apply to ideas
• Opinions & info deemed 'unsafe' subject to silencing
• Jokes, memes, questions about origin of covid off limits
4. The
government is policing opinion:
• FBI has 80 staff monitoring speech
• Small accounts on left and right flagged
• FBI held frequent meetings w TW
• Facebook, Youtube, and Instagram = similar?
• Private censors & police control what you say to whom.
5. Social
media executives lie freely:
•Twitter execs repeatedly and publicly denied shadow bans
•In reality, bans were in place as "visibility filtering"
•Ultimately, no accountability to public
6. Free
speech is controlled by a small group:
•Biggest decisions in Twitter Files made by 3-4 individuals
•Despite misgivings and doubts, once made, decisions stuck
•Now it's Musk.
One difference: his embrace of public polls to set policy.
7. The
slippery slope is real:
•Staff rebellion led to Trump ban
•Staff called for more covid-19 censorship
•2021-22 saw increase of bans and 'one-offs'
This is how you get Billy Baldwin in the crosshairs.
Once you silence a president, who has a right to speak?
Bonus as
steps away.
8. Musk has made enemies:
•Leaking to indy media
•Expressing opinions on Fauci
•Suspending journalist accounts
I expect his businesses will see counterattacks. Now is a good time to
refocus—and let the users decide how to uphold free speech.
TLDR
1. History changed
2. Conspiracy theories true
3. 'Safety' = censorship
4. Government policed ideas
5. Executives lied
6. Speech controlled by small group
7. Slippery slope is real
8. Musk must watch out
Now that this has been exposed here comes the 1/1024 cherokee to ramp up her base..
We the people have plenty of questions for liawatha.
OK, a quick rebuttal. Twat is not the whole world. Use your head, get off social media, and there's plenty of debate.
ReplyDeleteI think you probably know this Ed, however I'm going to state it plainly for people that visit casually. All of what you wrote is true for people that visit sites like this and many many others of its kind. However, these types of sites are not "mainstream".
DeleteThe people that REALLY need be affected by and hear truth discussions don't visit sites like this one and all the rest of the "Freedom" related blogs. They camp on Twatter, Facefook and Zootube giving likes, retweets and forwards to their followers and the people they follow. That's why .gov targeted those accounts and company's with suppression.
If the Eff Bee Eye and See Eye Aaa can have a sitting President removed from a public company's social media site and have the President of that company bolfacedly lie to CONgress about the actions that the company has taken against that President and many other users with impunity, what else have they been up to?
ALL of the conspiracy theories of the last couple decades have proven true. Yet the people that inhabit social media still have their heads in the sand with their asses poked high in the air waiting for the next ass rape from fed.gov.
What we are witnessing here is a repeat of the fall of Rome, actually the fall of the entirety of western civilization as we have known it for the past several hundred years. The only thing that might stave it off is CWII. I don't see that happening.
When .gov can inhabit and direct public discourse taking place via private companies and supplant truth with lies at their whim, you have Fascism.
When Martha Raditz of ABC News can sit with the Governor of Texas for an interview and accuse him, Desantis and Trump of advertising "open borders" in the USA to the people of all nations that want to come here and have him sit there and not run her over with his wheel chair as he's exiting the interview, there's something REALLY WRONG going on here.
I'm not going to comment on Liawatha except to say that anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together knows she she's a fruit cake and a liar. Yet the people of Massachusetts keep electing her to represent them. WTF?
Stalin, Hitler, Goebbels and Mussolini would be proud and George Orwell was prescient.

DeleteThis is a point I made to my own small distro today. If we're seeing all of this, how much more are we not seeing?!
Apparently, the stuff we talk about in places like this does make it to the Great Unwashed which is why enough people haven't got the shot that Brandon had to do his Dr Goebbels act, so I think your argument doesn't wash.
DeleteIn my experience, edutcher is always right and anyone who disagrees with him is always wrong. Just an FYI.
Delete"enough people haven't got the shot that Brandon had to do his Dr Goebbels act, so I think your argument doesn't wash."
DeleteEd, the people that refused the jab, like me, are smart enough to do their own research on many subjects and rarely rely on any information in the MSM or from .gov and they don't necessarily frequent places like this nor do the discussions that take place here and elsewhere on sites like this one filter up to the masses.
That's why there are so many people that think any info coming from any .gov org or the MSM has to be the truth. They're too ingrained in their thinking that .gov or the MSM would EVER lie to them even with evidence of the lie staring them in the face. Take all of the stalwart Physicians and researchers who said that the jab could be dangerous and hadn't been tested enough, then were silenced, blacklisted and some had their careers ruined by .gov as a recent example.
"Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth" - Joseph Goebbels(or attributed to him, even though there's no direct proof he ever said this, just because he was the minister of propaganda for the Nazi's and used this tactic to great effect)
So, when .gov lies and all of the MSM repeat said lies, which is the "often enough" part, the sheeple believe the lie because most of them don't have the time to do their own research because they work and have other things of higher priority going on their lives nor do they have the the inclination to tackle subjects which they don't or don't want to understand and rely on others to tell them what to do. That's why what .gov has done with the MSM and Twatter is such a glaring crime and must be punished. But, it won't be, short of CWII.

"FBI was working w Twitter"
ReplyDeleteWith, or at????? Perhaps FBI was Twitter would be more accurate.....
We did not even have to have these bread and circuses reported as they were. Most here already knew this kind of thing was going on that's why I did not click on the links.
ReplyDeleteUnderstand, all these people are grifters reporting this, otherwise why are they reporting it? To stay out front and relevant.
Bear Claw
And in the end nothing will change
ReplyDeleteNot if we listen to the trolls.
DeleteLicks finger,,,,swipes north to south about eye level.

i'm beginning to think that we all are involved in some screwy reality t.v. show and that we don't get to "vote" anybody off the island.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is most people/voters are to some degree influenced by social media in one form or another. When government controls those interactions to suit their agenda you might as well not even have free speech.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is too many stupid, indoctrinated people who are easily influenced, even to their own detriment.
DeleteNo fix for that.
CC
Well we don’t. Not “Free” like you & I interpret it.
Delete“covid-19 censorship”
Not only is it just wrong on so many levels, it leads to SCOTUS rulings that are based on total bullshit.
Mandatory jabs because you work in healthcare!
Remember the completely idiotic arguments for that one? “Thousands of kids are dying!”
Uh huh…sure they were.
Free speech means getting real info to people who make substantial decisions. Suppression of that gets us where we are now, wading in bullshit up to our chins.
@Elisibeth Warren
ReplyDeleteElon Musk is CEO of Tesla and has a rocket company, Space X, as a plaything. He is a billionaire that bought Twitter as another plaything.
BOTH companies are changing history, and SpaceX is not exactly a "plaything" by any stretch of the imagination. Even Tesla made a huge dent in how people behave.
DeleteTwitter? He made another momentous decision to change the world.
Elisabeth "Lieawatha" Warren is a dolt, lickspittle, and A Typical Useful Idiot In Power.
Any sign of Trumps tax returns amongst that lot?
ReplyDeleteYou hold those truths to be self-evident. As they must be. Must. Be. Because they can exist in no other way.
ReplyDeleteFor the NAZIs (Is "NAZIs" still the word of the week? This, the current, week?):
For reason of math -- not sociology, not politics -- to change the acceleration you're enjoying, half the population need to be "sent to the camps". Those who have not already earned their tickets, who oppose sending *at least* half "to the camps"... need be "sent to the camps". If you want, merely, the *acceleration* to stall. Many of those are your brothers by other mothers. Most of your mothers are in the first group.
If you're of The Church of Boomer, and need not "decide" -- because you'll be dyin' large... before then -- nobody's heresying your self evidents. Nobody can.
If you'd rather Slim Pickens the Kali Yuga, congratulations! You're winning.
If you'll only "do", if math agrees that 2 and 2 is minus pi, carry on. Because math don't care.
People are all upset Musk keeps selling Tesla stock to fund whatever. It's his stock, he can sell it for any reason or no reason. If you get a say on what he's doing with his stock, then he gets a say on any stock purchase/sell you make.
ReplyDeleteThe only "Conflicts of interest" Buffalo Chip Squaw is concerned about are those that conflict with her own corrupt interests.

here's what it boils down to...if you rely on msm or social media to get your news, you are an idiot...and we got exactly what we deserved...the same people that believe everything on msm and social media are the same people you could, without a doubt, prove the truth to them and because they didn't see it on msm or social media, will call you a liar...the truth is out there if you aren't lazy and want to find it...the problem in our tech crazy life is it's made us lazy...and social media will be the downfall of this country...when you can have kids eating tide pods, we are doomed...panzer guy
ReplyDeleteHow insane would you have to be to 'target' a man who's company makes rockets that can land themselves, with precision, in a box smaller than your house?
