In the prediction section of the recent Twitter discussion {Go Deep} CTH mentioned the reason and unspoken motive behind a prediction that multinational corporations would start to pull their advertising money from Elon Musk.
We are simply in an era where there is no distinction between the WEF guidance for multinational corporations and the instructions toward governments’ they support. Free speech and freedom of expression are against both their interests.
Multinational corporations are political entities. The former distinctions between the private and public sector have been purposefully erased. Evidence can be found in the vaccination mandate and within corporate responses to voter outcomes during elections. {Go Deep}
As predicted, it begins….
(Via Wall Street Journal) – Food company General Mills Inc., Oreo maker Mondelez International Inc., Pfizer Inc. and Volkswagen/Audi are among a growing list of brands that have temporarily paused their Twitter advertising in the wake of the takeover of the company by Elon Musk, according to people familiar with the matter.
Some advertisers are concerned that Mr. Musk could scale back content moderation, which they worry would lead to an increase in objectionable content on the platform. Others are temporarily halting their ads because of the uncertainty at the company as top executives exit and Mr. Musk considers a raft of changes, some of the people said.
Kelsey Roemhildt, a spokeswoman for General Mills, whose brands include Cheerios, Bisquick and Häagen-Dazs, confirmed the company has paused Twitter ads. “As always, we will continue to monitor this new direction and evaluate our marketing spend,” she said.
A Twitter representative didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
General Motors Co. paused its spending on the social-media platform last week.
Several ad buyers say they expect the number of brands pausing Twitter ads to rise. They say that the platform isn’t considered a must-buy for many advertisers, with far larger budgets going to tech giants such as Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Meta Platforms Inc., and that pausing makes sense during the bumpy transition under Mr. Musk.
Many executives on Madison Avenue are uneasy with the rash of sudden executive departures from Twitter’s advertising sales and marketing units. Among those who have exited are Chief Customer Officer Sarah Personette, Chief Marketing Officer Leslie Berland, and Jean-Philippe Maheu, Twitter’s vice president of global client solutions. Those executives helped reassure advertisers that their ad dollars were being spent wisely and appropriately on Twitter. (read more)
Fascism was traditionally defined as an authoritarian government working hand-in-glove with corporations to achieve objectives. A centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, using severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.
That system of government didn’t work in the long-term, because the underlying principles of free people reject government authoritarianism. Fascist governments collapsed, and the corporate beneficiaries were nulled and scorned for participating. Then, along came a new approach to achieve the same objective.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) was created to use the same fundamental associations of government and corporations. Only this time, it was the multinational corporations who organized to tell the government(s) what to do.
The WEF was organized for multinational corporations to assemble and tell the various governments how to cooperate with them, in order to be rewarded by them. Corporatism was/is the outcome. The government is now doing what the multinationals tell them to do, and in return the multinationals install the compliant politicians.
Fascism, the cooperation between government and corporations, is still the underlying premise; the World Economic Forum simply flipped the internal dynamic putting the corporations in charge of handing out the instructions.
What results is a slightly modified definition of fascism:
…A massive multinational corporate conglomerate; telling a centralized autocratic government leader what to do; and using severe economic and social regimentation as a control mechanism; combined with forcible suppression of opposition by both the corporations and government.
Doesn’t that define our current reality, especially visible in the era of COVID?
The instructions from the multinational corporations to government would be called the “Great Reset“, or as commonly transposed by the government officials receiving the instructions, “Build Back Better”.
“That system of government didn’t work in the long-term, because the underlying principles of free people reject government authoritarianism. Fascist governments collapsed, and the corporate beneficiaries were nulled and scorned for participating. “
They only collapsed under extreme external force.
What extreme external force will save us?
Could that external force be the BRICS’ “Fair World Order,” with Russia and China leading the way?
C’mon let’s get real…
Russia and China are just another side of the same coin.
We are looking to Chinese Communists to save us, whose economic power was built by globalists like Henry Kissinger?
The elites control both sides.
They have been preparing for this multipolar system for a century.
I have to put my $$$ betting against that.
This is a regime change operation. Yuri Bezmenov described its purpose is to break a society down to the point it can no longer tell heads from tails + no longer sees you as an Enemy but a viable alternative…
Look what China does to its own people in places like Shanghi.
Look at how citizens are treated in Saudi Arabia (where I worked for a couple of years).
People really want to believe Putin is a Russian Patriot + godfather of his people. Time will tell. — My bet is he’s playing a part setup for him…
Why are we seeing so much Economic + Political Turmoil while also watching them shake the fault lines of the society with things like Drag Queen Story Hours + Males can get pregnant…?
They are discrediting the Western Way.
Soviet Russia + Maoist China + the Saudi Royal Dynasty were all set up by the West…….
I think it more likely – BRICS will turn out to be the system those running the West into the ground wanted all along… That, at the end of the day, you’ll see the same people in charge of bankrupting the West financially + socially —- in charge along with the Saudis + CCP + Russian Oligarchs in a system that functions far more like a feudal state than the one we have had until now.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/AR7bgsORIZSO/
I’m not so sure. BRICS, and the several other international trading organizations that are cropping up right now, are purposely embracing a noticeably-different format of internal structure. The EU tried to create “The United States of Europe,” and wound up becoming “oxen unequally yoked together.” The organizers of these new groups are taking a much more de-centralized approach and not expecting “compliance to one set of social or business norms” from their members. It will be very interesting to see how each one of them develops.
I think they’re on to something. Time will tell. But it is clear that “The West™” is not the only way.
“Compliance” is always required for oppressive regimes to remain in power?
Freedom is voluntary.
The West was made to collapse by the same categories of people who setup several of these nations building the alternative.
It might end up being a parallel sytem where they launder their illegal flows of wealth.
Blockchain doesn’t make sense overall. It makes perfect sense as a means to approach total control of the masses, but without large loopholes or alternative systems, how will the Power Elite hide their connections to illegal fortunes…?
They will never establish a system to control us that also controls them…
I agree + below put a link to a vid with Yuri Bezmenov explaining it — that you screw a society up into such confusion, it no longer recognizes its enemies as enemies. that if not viewed as a Better Alternative, they at least look like a Viable Alternative to what is destroying your own society….
He nailed today with that —– and he was talking 40 or 50 years ago…
Well stated… and unfortunately close to global control. America needs PRESIDENT TRUMP and MAGA more than ever now!!
God help us if it is.
It is certainly significant that “the majority of the population on this planet” is finally pushing away the colonialism of the West’s so-called “rules-based order” in which the West of course makes all the rules. They are using their own currencies, building their own interbank exchange systems, and seeking to create what is basically a confederation, instead of an oligarchy. There is nothing at all stopping them from being very successful, and the peace and stability of the world community will be considerably improved. Even for “us.”
We would do well to remember that these civilizations are each many thousands of years old. The USA, on the other hand, is still the new kid on the block. And it’s trying hard to “bark orders” at the rest of the world while using its own position to their significant dis-advantage. Like it or not, the sun is setting on that idea now. On that bad idea.
People like George Soros might have vast amounts of ill-gotten money and grand plans, but those plans are not the world’s future. Wait and see.
We cam save us! We stop buying their cars, eating their cereal and ice cream. Would you really miss it? Look what the public did to Target when they changed up the restrooms. They lost billions and looked like a ghost town. Musk could take ads from small businesses. Time to go local anyway. Walmart started out in Mark Tree, Arkansas! Stienmart started out in Greenville, Mississippi—both companies were single locations. It would take more ads, but if they were listed state by state—they could have all sorts of ads —even in a certain section, with help wanted ads too. That alone would bring people to Twitter. Could be quite innovative and lucrative for small and medium businesses along with Twitter.
I hope so for Musk’s sake, but I’ve already decided not to go back, unless they become something completely different. I got “suspended” for saying ( rightly, I think ) that General Milley should be tried for treason and hanged if he ever followed through on his foolish promise to warn the Chi coms if we were to attack them. That was right around the time of the Afghan debacle if I remember correctly. Anyway, I’ve decided I don’t need them and I don’t use any of the products mentioned in this article anyway. I hope Musk can turn it around so he doesn’t lose his shirt, but it won’t effect me either way.
It may be a stretch, but I predict rednecks and urban gangsters could find common ground. They both hate being told what to do.
So these will be the Companies that out themselves as solidly Anti 1st Amendment/ Anti Free Speech.
By definition and function, If it’s a multinational corporation, then it’s against the people no matter the country. The public/private partnership is the only way to get to that level and stay there.
Dick Russell:
“Enteen observes that the mainstream media has devolved into the modern iteration of Mockingbird, promoting the CIA’s biosecurity agenda—which conflates terrorism with vaccine hesitancy, and leverages the orchestrated fear of germs to expand state authority.
Glenn Greenwald concurs, pointing out that, under the CIA’s new post-COVID era rubric, “Domestic Violent Extremists” [DVEs] are “those who oppose capitalism and all forms of globalization… derived from anti-government or anti-authority sentiment,” and “opposition to perceived economic, racial or social hierarchies”… DVEs are “subject to a vast array of domestic surveillance and monitoring by the CIA and other intelligence agencies—in the name of fighting ‘domestic terrorism.’”
The current domestic War on Terror has already provoked billions more in military spending. “And Silicon Valley apparently is tasked with deciding who the domestic terrorists are,” adds Enteen.
The CIA’s consolidation of power over mainstream media and social media may be on the verge of accomplishing the agency’s ultimate ambition: after 70 years engineering coups d’états against the world’s democracies, the CIA, this year, may have finally achieved the ultimate triumph — the controlled demolition of American democracy and the obliteration of our Constitution.”…….
Elon Musk’s bid for Twitter is exposing the Deep State’s ownership of Social Media.
Hence, our Shadow-Presidente-for-Life was sent out by his owners to explain why you should be censored, shadow-banned and tracked by the CIA/Social Media-Blob–and why you should like it!
It’s for your own good, you see, and you’re just too stupid to realize it. One day, you will thank Big Brother, says Obama, the man who repealed the law against CIA propaganda being used on Americans. “Operation: Mockingbird” was thusly named because news outlets like CBS, the Washington Post and now Rolling Stone and The Daily Beast would all “mock” the Official Line.
Everywhere we turn, we see the malignant result of the Intelligence Community, the dominating Fourth Branch of Government.
They build bio-weapon viruses and unleash them.
They force experimental injections on their victims–for billions.
They overthrow elections and voters.
They censor political opponents with their Social Media platforms.
They manufacture news–and wars.
Orwell nailed it.
This is Big Brother.
From George Orwell’s ‘1984’:
We sure do.
The object of censorship is censorship.
But a Totalitarian World Government is their ultimate object.
And that, we can never allow.
Psalm 68:1
68 1 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
Amen and Amen!

Great post, fren
Chicken or the egg?
Did “Mockingbird” pre-date Pres. Kennedy’s address to the American Newspaper Publishers Assoc. in April ’61?
“For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion; on subversion instead of elections; on intimidation instead of free choice; on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed not published. Its mistakes are buried not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced not praised. No expenditure is questioned. No rumor is printed. No secret is revealed.”
Pfizer pulled their ads
what a tragedy!
And today Facebook shares dropped another 25 percent.
As they should.
I boycotted Oreos when they started making them in Mexico…
Refined sugar is poison.
I boycotted Oreos when they used a photo of two homosexual males exchanging an Oreo while kissing.
Sundance, you are The Oracle.
Yes, he is. And I hope all of us are supporting him with a monthly donation. What he offers for free to us is worth millions.
I think we have more like Feudalism in that — the State – rather than a ruler or party – rests on top the “Local” interests of Power Centers or Strongmen. Instead of geographical areas (Land + the People on it) from which the local power brokers draw their wealth, today it is more about Industries + Economic Sectors as well as general territories.
In Feudalism proper, the local strongman provided Troops + other things as needed by the State or the larger territorial strongman who he was under. The King only had as much power as he could gain from the strongmen he could keep happy enough to serve him. The king had to please enough of them to stay on top. Alliances were constantly shifting.
Isn’t that about what we have now?
Except Google’s territory isn’t land-based, its an economic sector. Same with Walmart.
Perhaps like in the time of the Big Trusts – the Tycoons of today form somewhat shifting alliances with each other + those alliances are so strong, they can own/control even the most powerful nations/governments.
And they have so intertwined the global economy, their power can be exercised to a greater extent than in he past.
The East India Company became an empire within an empire + could act like a nation-state.
— But I don’t think the structure of the power grid is the most important thing.
If they all just wanted $$$$$ + economic strength – it would be one kind of a problem.
……But when as a category of humanity —- they have a collective + individual mindset to want to —- become gods —– you have a very, very different set of problems —- that are life-and-death important…
I don’t begrudge these people their wealth — if they would just leave us alone + be happy with what they have…
But all the gold in the world isn’t as sexy to certain personality types as —- dominating people.
The Corbett Report’s excellent deep dives into Bill Gates highlight this.
It isn’t about $$$ or Economic Growth to these guys. There is a spiritual + psychological element to it. You can see it most clearly in Big Tech because they are in the newest industry + you can see how they were handpicked to become the richest men on Earth… Bill Gates is where he is not because he was a computing or business genius —- he was picked because of his family’s beliefs + his psychological profile… and he isn’t alone in that.
We the people can’t afford corrupt name brands any way at see yah.
Dear Iggyb – THANK YOU for posting this link.
We had a snow day here today so we could watch all 4 episodes in one sitting! Highly recommend other treepers watch it.
They’ll be back because it looks like musk already folded like a cheep suit.
Elon Musk will collect $8.00/mo. from each blue check twit to help revenue.
I don’t think he really cares if the Orwellian companies pull ads permanently. It’s their loss.
🎯
I saw where he plans to charge them $20/mo
They can be boycotted also!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep and publish a list.
Advertising paused … awaiting further instructions from the Biden admin
A viewing is where you view the deceased.
Are we are viewing the demise of twtter we were invited to another viewing
Of the deceased.
The lesson learned is how you view the world affects your ability to accept government propanda and deception.
Tucker Carlson’s opening tonight hit on what I commented in this thread earlier – but he didn’t throw in the Establishment Republicans.
He still talked about it as if it were Democrat vs Republican. Not really – he didn’t mention the Republicans at all — but it was implied.
This is off – because – the Party he was talking about isn’t the Democrats — The Party is the Davos Crew. That’s the face of it. It’s the Bilderberger Party + its local branches in different regions of the world.
The MAGA Candidates aren’t fighting against Democrats. They are fighting against the Establishment owned by the Mega Wealthy Social Engineers…
This was to be expected. Advertising boycott’s are a powerful tool. Tucker Carlson has massive ratings – more than MSNBC and CNN combined and yet there is not a major advertiser that will touch his show thanks to a successful advertising boycott campaign led by Media Matters and the ADL.
Musk should have anticipated this and what he needs to do is make it a policy that any twitter account that actively promotes boycotts of Twitter will have their accounts permanently banned starting with Media Matters and the ADL. Cancelling their twitter accounts would go a long way to reduce the power that they have. Musk is not obligated to provide a free platform to pressure group intent on his destruction.
The best way to fight boycotts is with boycotts. If a major company announces that it is no longer doing business with Twitter that company should be labelled anti-free-speech and those who cherish the 1st Amendment should boycott the company. I don’t know why these big companies cave to the pressure of Media Matters and pushy arrogant creeps like Jonathon Greenblatt of the ADL. The general public don’t care about where a company places it’s ads.
I’ve thought for years BIG BUSINESS & BIG GOVERNMENT are on opposite sides of the same EVIL COIN.
Anyone who thinks BIG BUSINESS is Capitalism doesn’t know their Front End from their Back End.
If you don’t know what I mean ask ‘Judas McConnell’.
He’ll fill you in !
Yep. Remember the since-scrubbed video of that other GOP Judas, the one named Pence, receiving a speshul top-secret coin or medal from another man, right after he got a Pelosi elbow bump for certifying the 2019 election results?
I’m sure their all planning on popping over to Mr. Dorsey’s Blue Sky Social app.
Coincidentally it is just rolling out about now.
And I’ll avoid that like the plague that Jack Dorsey is.
So if WEF throws it’s weight to one side of the boat, can’t we offset it by all moving to the other side of the boat?
I’d like to know which advertisers are moving to the WEF side of the boat, so I can compensate accordingly.
The goal of the Trilateral Commission was to align the free world with the advanced communist states to organize a world government. {Massive, multi-national conglomerates controlling the governments of the world} Robert Ludlum’s 1979 “Matarese Circle,” was written as a warning about this, just as Orwell wrote “1984” as a warning of the surveillance state.
Ludlum gives prescient insight into the thinking of the progressive elites in his writing.
As is stated in the above book, “…international companies are not in business to lose money or forfeit profits. The ‘new society’ will function within a competitive, non-violent, structure. Governments can no longer guarantee that; they’re on a nuclear collision course everywhere. But the Chrysler Corporation does not make war on Volkswagen; no planes fill the skies to wipe out factories and whole towns centered around one or the other company. The new world will be committed to the marketplace, to the developing of resources and technology that insure the productive survival of mankind. There is no other way.”
Ludlum continues, …”However, before this permanent era of tranquility, there must be a period of violence, because governments do not relinquish control very easily. Only by creating chaos, then providing alternatives to people whose backs are against the wall, can legitimate control be established. With each act of terrorism, globalists grow ever closer to their goal.”
Once you understand how the people in control at the WEF think, things fit together more easily. These are fanatics. They are convinced they are right, in the same way that Karl Marx and his followers thought they were right. Even when millions lie dead at their feet, they will rationalize the situation and still be convinced of their righteousness.
It is diseased thinking. Like any malignant disease, it cannot be “managed,” but must be exterminated.
It will only be extinguished when Christmas returns.
Most of these very same multinationals are linked to the special interests and lobbyists in DC. Not to mention the billions in campaign bribes they and their many officers and faithful employees contribute. Essentially they are the government considering what we have devolved into in the DC strata.
Just another reminder of how valuable Donald Trump is to the world and how destructive every other ‘leader’ is.
One of these days the morons who run these multinationals will realize that the number of wokesters they are so afraid of don’t amount to a pinprick in the over all scheme of things.
They are not afraid of wokesters. They are afraid of us, because they know we outnumber them about 1000:1, and that we are reaching a breaking point, in every nation where they believe they hold the upper hand.
Fascism, the Government and Big Corporations as dance partners.
All to stifle free expression, free ideas, and to control an otherwise Free People.
What a cancer that America needs to excise.
He’d probably get sued, but I wish Trump would start a campaign (during these rallies) to tell MAGA supporters to simply stop buying products from these companies. Shed to daylight on these corrupt multi-nationals.
The discussion of “multi-nationalism conspiracies and fascism” being set aside for the moment, advertisers on this platform do need to take a moment of reckoning. First of all, they need to learn what the “ad impression” totals really are. (I think that Twitter has been lying, both to them and to its participants, for a very long time. Making up “big numbers” out of thin air.) Twitter needs to discover and then send to these companies a truthful disclosure of what their advertising dollars have actually been doing, and let each of them re-decide what to do next.
Fear is… THERE IS MORE OF US THAN THERE IS OF THEM!
Never forget, never forgive, vote and vote again with your wallet!
I would only debate one point. The corporations aren’t in charge, they are co-equal to the government and are both being used in similar ways.
The WEF (CCP, Schwab and others) are in charge and government corporate cooperation is being used as a blunt instrument to beat the masses into submission mainly funded by the American tax payer, wheather through consumption, greed, or federal and state taxes sent to ngo’s, non profits, and such, under the guise of humanitarian and altruistic efforts. Recycling some of OUR money back to the politicians THEY own (R*ē +D = uniparty)
Ukraine anyone? Paris agreement….Kyoto Protocol…..
What a brilliant ponzi scheme.
Fascism, the merger of the international bankers (owners of the corporations) and the State is the name of the game.
Some call it feudalism. Or slavery.
Considering the coming transport crisis and recession, we’ll be living on beans and rice, anyway. Who really cares about Fruit Loops and Oreos at such a time?
We are at a scary point when advertisers pull away from those desiring free speech.
Who sits on these Boards of Directors who squelch free speech?
Curious minds want to know.
Some advertisers are concerned that Mr. Musk could scale back content moderation, which they worry would lead to an increase in objectionable content on the platform.
There is already pr0n on Twitter. I don’t think it can get any more objectionable than that. They’ll be back.
I have an old fashioned take on the WEF, and it is the main issue I try to keep in mind when voting for a Republican primary candidate: Milton Friedman said that General Motors cannot take money directly from you that you don’t voluntarily give them. The government, on the other hand, can send people to your house and take your money, whether you want to give it or not. He also said, in another context, that what worries him most is when big business colludes with big government so that both of them take your money without your consent.
So I am not so concerned about the rent-seeking businesses of the WEF — that is business as usual — as I am their willing government accomplices. We need to hold our Republican elected officials to account, not just for their own decisions and actions, but for those of the Republican leaders they elect.
Thank you for list of “naughty advertisers”! I’m making my list, and checking it twice, going to buy my stuff from someone who’s nice….
Certainly wouldn’t buy a VW product ever, and the rest don’t need me…. and I don’t need them.
I am creating my TWITTER account soon.
well then, no more hoggen daz.
GM, okay, done with them. I want a complete list of the Twitter-fleeing advertisers. My tweet to Elon:
Any advertiser who leaves Twitter to please leftist anti-free-speech advocates goes on my anti-American list. If they only want to do business with liberty-haters, so be it.
When Elon’s old co. PayPal falls enough maybe he can buy it back and fire the totalitarians there too.
