Am I seeing correctly that the US government directly asked Tweeter to interfere in others broadcasting information on Hunter?  He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. | |||

Wait, what? |
I wonder if Musk has a second, separate server with archived information. Might not be a bad investment at this point. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

I'm sure there was an off line archival service. And everything that was purged is backed up. He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. | |||

^^and Musk said he was gonna release all the “Stazi” records… Should make for good reading "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A.

It’s hideous that the FBI is complicit in covering up the Hunter Biden laptop revelations. I suspect that Wray is starting to sweat as the evidence of that emerges. Serious about crackers | |||

another major FBI corrupt POS You may remember the name James Baker. He was FBI General Counsel under Comey. He tried to cover for Michael Sussmann lying about the false claims re Alfa Bank. Baker resigned from FBI. Guess where he wound up? As a Twitter lawyer. From Matt Taibbi: On Friday, the first installment of the Twitter files was published here. We expected to publish more over the weekend. Many wondered why there was a delay. The process for producing the “Twitter Files” involved delivery to two journalists (Bari Weiss and me) via a lawyer close to new management. However, after the initial batch, things became complicated. Over the weekend, while we both dealt with obstacles to new searches, it was @BariWeiss who discovered that the person in charge of releasing the files was someone named Jim. When she called to ask “Jim’s” last name, the answer came back: “Jim Baker.” The news that Baker was reviewing the “Twitter files” surprised everyone involved, to say the least. New Twitter chief Elon Musk acted quickly to “exit” Baker Tuesday. https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/st.../1600244722819543040 | |||

Elon Musk: In light of concerns about Baker’s possible role in suppression of information important to the public dialogue, he was exited from Twitter today question: Was he asked to explain himself first? Musk: Yes. His explanation was …unconvincing. more from Jonathan Turley: https://jonathanturley.org/202...f-the-twitter-files/ | |||

Rumor is on Jim Baker that he was still authorizing censorships as of last Friday. Had to go… "Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay - and claims a halo for his dishonesty." ~Robert A. Heinlein | |||

What a clusterfuck! Tweeter was DEEP in bed with the commies. He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. | |||

Litter, Pffacebook, Spoogle… Who knows how far it goes; probably AWS/Bamazon web services since they deleted parlor. We know what the game is now; confirmed. What’s that line? “Fool me once shame on you, for me twice shame on me.” "Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay - and claims a halo for his dishonesty." ~Robert A.

Forgive me, but I don't quite understand. Baker was a Twitter employee? | |||

Thanks for this thread. I started a new one asking for an explanation of all this before I found this. I'm slow and this story has lots of espionage spy type stuff with a full dose of tyranny and communism. Beagle lives matter. | |||
