A quote attributed to George Orwell states, “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth will be a revolutionary act.” It appears that quote was considerably prescient as Big Tech and the U.S. intelligence apparatus collaborate to retain their narrative.
Former U.N. Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter has been suspended from Twitter for questioning the transparently sketchy circumstances around Bucha, Ukraine.
Regardless of your position on the Ukraine -vs- Russia conflict, the larger concern is the manipulation of information in an increasingly totalitarian era. The entire premise of democracy, speech and open debate is being undermined by the collaboration of tech platforms and the U.S. intelligence apparatus.
In this era of new “democratic norms”, trust in the institutions of government has collapsed. As social media platforms increasingly align their efforts with those collapsing institutions, the battle for your mind carries deadly consequences. Think, while it is still permitted.
“Due to the war in Ukraine, we will pause monetization of content that exploits, dismisses, or condones the war.”
Is this accurate, though? Seems like everyone on the Team Cabal, Team Ukraine side is doing nothing *but* exploiting and condoning not just the war, but *never-ending* war, while simultaneously dismissing any information not originating in Cabal or Ukraine. Very strange way to describe their policy here.
Speaking of Scott Ritter. I watched him a couple nights ago.
A real eye opener.
He was on the Corona Investigative Committee channel on Odysee.com
Here it is on Rumble.

I was watching this this afternoon:
https://rumble.com/vzpf0p-the-battle-of-ukraine-with-ex-un-weapons-inspector-scott-ritter.html
I watched it was very informative!!!
Russia has satellites too, and I’m sure they’re looking forward to their day in court.
I find it strange the NYT reported that the Pentagon could not confirm what happened in Bucha. Don’t THEY have satellites?
Sundance,
You never made any more valid statement than this one: “trust in the institutions of government has collapsed.” I have no doubt that the last honest man in the District of Criminals left on an airplane to Florida the morning of Jan. 20. Everyone else left there is a cheating, criminally inclined degenerate thinking only of how to fill their own coffers and have illicit sexual relations with children.
I lost my trust in the administrative state about 30+ years ago, when I stated that we elect political leaders but we cannot change the bureaucracy – I wanted a complete change there.
If we are to have term limits for politicians, guess who wins? The “career servants” – the unelected bureaucrats.
Term limits for politicians are useless (actually harmful) without term limits for bureaucrats. No one should be allowed to work for the federal government (outside rank and file military) for more than 5 years. Yes, they will not get pensions. Fine – deal with it.
Who’s with me on this one?
Wow I agree worth every word Scott wrote. I’m not putting Zelensky on a pedestal like some of these people.
Thinking is one thing they can never take from us.
Think again. Transhumanism removes free will. That means your thoughts are programmed like a computer and updated via 5G.
Wake up.
Joe Pags had a recent 16 minute interview “A Different View of Zelensky” which was excellent. I think it was with George Papadopoulos wife. You can find it on Joe Pags Rumble channel.
Speaking of war crimes. Stunning interview of attorney Todd Callender with Reiner Fuellmich’s Corona Committee regarding his class action lawsuit against the DOD related to genetic vaccines:

Yes, excellent interview.
Unfortunately there are PLENTY of so called conservative sites that will ban and delete you for VERY similar posts.
Especially on the subjects of Republicans and their often progressive involvement in similar things.
If you truly are a conservative you are being persecuted from EVERY side on speech!!!
Redstate and Gateway Pundit are the two worst “conservative” censoring sites. You dare say nothing contrary to the narrative or you will be banished. There is no home for truth in the uniparty. If you love freedom, you are on your own.
First page has some brilliant comments. Strangely, none of them are really about Twitter. Nor Elon Musk.
I can only surmise that our thinking Treepers have, once again, looked beyond the shiny object.
My Lucky 8 Ball says this is a false flag pulled by the Uks & Sleepy-Creepy/Obongo…
What happened to the high expectations by some in the media that Elon Musk’s largest percentage ownership of Twitter recently will make a difference in Twitter’s control of speech?
Maybe it’s too early still but the Twitter censors seem to have been increasing their censorship of any dissenting views and encouraging even more lies against the corrupt elites’ most vocal and effective opponents.
The Bucha story sounded sketchy but I wasn’t ready to believe the Russians until now.
Twatter only bans truth tellers.
He’s a registered sex offender. Unlawful contact with a minor.
Yea,that bothered me but now I think he was set up. It is standard gps fusion mo.
like the petrodollar, the democratic party, and social media censorship, all are past the zenith of their powers.
no country warned about its “poor attitude” (the about three quarters of the world’s population that didn’t support russian sanctions) will ever add to its dollar or euro reserves nor increase gold held by the (((new york fed))) or the bank of england. even those supportive may well have second thoughts.
brandon is clearly on his way out and kamala may never see power. so two unelected folks (like ford and rockefeller) will be holding the pennant in ’24, with poor precedents.
elon musk is already on the twitter board of directors. there is no supervoting class of stock so its a dollarcracy and musk has quite a few. may even have presidential ambitions and will seek to make an example of twitter.

@RealScottRitter
Well, it looks like I’ve been reinstated. No official word from Twitter about what the problem was or how/why it was resolved. But I’m sure they took notice at the concern expressed by many of you here on Twitter. Thanks for speaking up in defense of free speech. Goodnight!

Maybe Elon Musk IS already having an impact on Twitter.
The good news is he has been reinstated! I wonder if Elon Musk upon hearing about this picked up the phone and made a call to Twitters CEO? It would not surprise me!
Hi all, here a link to an op ed written by Scott Ritter that was published by RT.com

IMO Here is a more stable and considered view on Bucha!
https://www.rt.com/russia/553293-bucha-war-crimes-truth/
This is an interesting read.
Is it possible to actually know what has been and is going on in Ukraine?Just recently I came across perhaps the clearest and most reasonable account of what has been going on in Ukraine.
Its importance comes due to the fact that its author, Jacques Baud, a retired colonel in the Swiss intelligence service, was variously a highly placed, major participant in NATO training operations in Ukraine. Over the years, he also had extensive dealings with his Russian counterparts.
His long essay first appeared (in French) at the respected Centre Français de Recherche sur le Renseignement. A literal translation appeared at The Postil (April 1, 2022). I have gone back to the original French and edited the article down some and rendered it, I hope, in more idiomatic English.
I do not think in editing it I have damaged Baud’s fascinating account. For in a real sense, what he has done is “to let the cat out of the bag.” — Boyd D. Cathay

Big Tech is really going up the food chain now! A former UN inspector?
He definitely has to go because he might have a lot of credibility-heaven forbid. Interesting he says that Ukraine National Police is responsible for it’s own citizens deaths.
By banning people especially like Mr. Ritter they just make people even more suspicious of anything coming out of Zelenskyy or Biden’s mouth.
Pretty soon you’ll be required to sign a pledge to have a social media account that says you support Ukraine and promise to defend them.
I know the word narrative has been used a lot during the last two years, how about we stop using that word and just call it what it is, lies.
For some reason, when I saw those pictures of the dead civilians with their hands tied behind their back a few days back, I had a flash back to a Paliwood production I saw many years ago. A group of men were carrying the body of their fired or relative, allegedly killed by the Israeli or us (I forget which) when the cortege came under fire. The men dropped the litter with the body and high-tailed it to safety followed immediately by the ‘body’ as well. Pure theater. I think I may be getting the same vibes from some of the stuff coming out of Ukraine these days. The bodies probably bodies but who, exactly, killed them?
Time for twitter to go! Allow counter arguments but your propaganda tactics are criminal. You could never be trusted, and thats forever dude!
In WHAT WAY was Scott Ritters tweet anything that could be considered “Targeted Harassment”?
Good grief! They’re not even TRYING to make their censorship appear just, or even reasonable!
But, TBT, they never HAVE.
I’d like to know what part of that tweet was targeted “harassment” and “wishing” physical harm.
What is a twitter.?…hmmm, sounds demonic.
A corporation (like Twitter) comes into being because a group of investors, having decided to incorporate, asks a State for a (corporate) charter. When the State issues that charter, the corporation springs into existence. The corporation is a creature of the State that issued the charter.
Because a corporation is a creature of the State, it has only the attributes acquired by heredity from its parent. That is, it can have only those powers that were endowed to the State by the State’s creators, viz.: the people of the State. Conversely, any powers that were withheld from the State by the people cannot have been passed on to the corporation.
A wide variety of powers were withheld from the States and from the federal government that, via Congress, creates new states. So, if a State is forbidden to discriminate among its customers (i.e.: citizens), how can a corporation, a creature of that State, have such a power? If a State is forbidden to block the free exercise of expression by its citizens, how can a corporation, a creature of that State, have such a power? The answer is that a corporation cannot and does not have any such power. Doing such acts is a violation of the corporate charter. The proper remedy for a corporation that violates its charter is for the State to withdraw the charter, killing the corporation.
