Perhaps no media paragraph more perfectly encapsulates the issues around the Twitter debate than this one from New York Times writer Shira Ovide:
…”The 2016 U.S. presidential election and the Brexit vote that same year gave Silicon Valley executives, U.S. elected officials and the public a peek into what can go wrong when social media companies opt not to wade too deeply into what people say on their sites.”… (link)
In essence, that would be the quiet part said out loud and matter-of-factly. If people are allowed freedom of communication, they end up doing things without our approval.
That paragraph perfectly encapsulates the reason why so many media and leftists are having mental breakdowns.
Elon Musk has the audacity to purchase one, just one, social media platform with the intent to allow Americans the freedom to speak to each other freely, without limit and control. That is the expressed risk the Democrats, media and leftists in every institution are enraged about.
As Fox News highlighted, “several Twitter employees expressed serious concerns and fear over Musk’s $44 billion acquisition of the company including a prominent worry that Musk would undo censorship mechanisms they had worked to implement over the years.” It’s all about control. We are living in a cyber version of Poland circa early 1980’s.
The solidarity movement results in millions of Polish citizens taking to the streets, looking around and suddenly realizing there are more of us than them. That is what the collective left is now desperate to avoid, and they will do anything to stop people from seeing the scope of the control effort they have deployed in order to carry out their agenda. Those are the stakes at play.
During yesterday’s phone call between Twitter executives and employees at the company, the leaders within the company talked about the issues at hand. A leaked copy a short segment of the discussion was made available by Project Veritas today. WATCH:
.
All of this collective apoplexy and anxiety is a reflection of fear. The need for control is a reaction to deep internal fear.
Notice they keep using the words “safety”, as if being exposed to alternate perspectives is something that threatens safety.
Elon Musk is correct, “the extreme antibody reaction from those who fear free speech says it all.”

I can only imagine what “years of censorship mechanisms” means inside the technology systems created by the Twitter regulators.
This gets more interesting by the day….
For awhile now I’ve been fearing that G-d had already turned his back to our country, and shaken the dust off his feet before walking away. It’s events like the Elon Musk purchase and DeSantis action against Disney etc, that give me hope that i was wrong.
HE doesn’t turn his back, ever.
People do.
They also do the walking away.
There’s a time when God “turns away from them gives them over…”
Agreed. Ultimately, this is a battle between God and Satan. I marvel at those who are “on our side” at least in terms of seeing the Political battle, and yet are athiest or agnostic.
Given what the other side is touting, pedophilia, trangender, abortion after birth, etc. how can anyone NOT see the clearly SPIRITUAL battle being waged?
The Old Testament God would have destroyed California and NYC, or perhaps D.C. like Sodom and Gemorah, long ago.
Fortunately, after spending time on earth, as one of us, Jesus IS forgiving,..
Not that it can’t happen again. When there are directives in he bible to leave the cities, I take it as a warning.
Amen
Same God, Jesus did not replace the Father. Revelation makes a mockery of an all forgiving all loving God, God can and has been vengeful. If Revelation comes to pass, billions will be allowed to die. As someone who was raise a believer in God and Christ I sometimes wonder why people only look at one aspect of God. We have become and immoral evil lot and we will be punished.
No
amen
Exactly
But the Lord does consign heathen peoples to their own devices. See the last couple chapters of 2 Kings, and how God gave his chosen folk over to Babylon in response to Israel’s constant playing the harlot, instead of worshipping the one true God.
Musk wants to put a chip in your brain(neuralink) so I would temper expectations when it comes to him.
We live in the most incoherent time in history. On the one hand, he wants to save free speech, the backbone of Western Liberty. On the other hand, he wants to put a chip in your head and made you a minion of the State. All I can say is clean your guns and stock up on ammo.
Yes, that is truly insane, and what I come back to. However, God does have a say in it all. If Elon truly believes in free speech, he will get an earful on that particular “control” mechanism!
He’s a decent guy and seems to appreciate truth be he’s no messiah. Beware but support his good efforts.
Hope we’re both wrong Wayne. It’s good to feel a win. Been a while for us all on the big stage. Hopefully that doesn’t extend to your personal lives. Mine has probably been a mixed bag.
We should exercise caution here. This all but wipes out Truth Social. I wasn’t on it anyway. But there’s other things like Rumble, Butchute, Gab and CTH that have given us a platform when we had none. We must remember going forward to make sure we have resiliency in our plans.
How coincidental that a major social media platform switches ownership right when Truth Social emerges. Remember, Elon Musk is no friend of Trump’s and walked away from him when he was president.
True, but! — Musk is driving the worst people in society insane right now. If this is all huge Kabuki theater to fool us and he and the Left are secretly conspiring, this would be the biggest fakeout in history.
No one is perfect (not even PDJT). If Elon is that fake and conniving he’ll deserve an Oscar.
I had heard some talk a couple months ago that Elon Musk had become a Christian, maybe sometime last year? May just be a rumor, but if true, it may explain a few things…..
He had an interview with the Babylon Bee guys a few months back. They asked him if he’s ready to accept Christ as his lord and savior. Elon explained that he grew up going to church, but he didn’t say yes. It seems he believes in something, but doesn’t know specifics.
Watch the Babylon Bee interview until the end.
They stole a presidential election and dragged our country into a war we didn’t ask for, caused runaway inflation, and pretty much killed the Dollar’s reserve status.
If God had already withdrawn His protective hand, then we would already be starving after collapse of the electrical grid. A handful of malicious people could take it down with 30.06s though attacks on transformers. Only God is competant enough to prevent this. Or a solar eruption could do it without the evil flowing into the world through any human heart.
On Tuesday night, the 8th of November 2016; I knew that God had not abandoned His beloved America!
sundance, thank you for beginning our days with the Lord’s Prayer.
As a sinner redeemed, I can say this: Keep your faith in God. No matter what. Think of Daniel in the lions den.
Nothing else will matter, as long as you keep your faith in Him.
It’s hard during times like these. But I know that no matter what else He is walking besides us.
God will not leave his church behind. But belief and the attending repentance has waned therefore the pain of a cleansing may be in store. We must humble ourselves in prayer.
If these leftists bought a Tesla to be green, how bad will they freak out when they realize they helped Musk buy Twitter?
They can go buy a GM EV……..oh wait, never mind – despite Mary Barra and Joe Biden proclaiming GM is the US EV leader 😂😂
I wrote a Tesla comment before I saw yours- oops. Great minds, amiright
an obvious contradiction, once you point it out. upvote.
Now we know why Tesla isn’t in on the Green New Deal Infrastructure Slush Fund.
Not only that 👆, but wait until they discover in their new uncensored world that EV’s are actually not so green, most are charged by fossil fuels, and under the Biden Regime electricity will soon cost as much or more than gasoline.
You are correct, 60.8 % of the US electricity comes from fossil fuels in 2021.
https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=427&t=3
That was a great link. There are lots of other kinds of info in the links below the energy use list
And there is no way to generate enough electricity by solar and wind, to charge all those cars, if we “eliminate fossil fuels in “X” years.
Unicorn farts, its all unicorn farts,..amasing to me, the # of supposedly smart people, who “buy in” to the CC/GND crap..
What about upgrading the entire electrical grid to handle this higher load, and additional generating plants required. Either leftists can’t think or they pretend not to know things,
There is no such thing as fossil fuel. Oil is abiotic cooking under the earth’s crust. The earth is swimming in oil and it isn’t from dinosaur goo.
And it’s been that way ever since. Six years of insane leftist snowflakes screaming, rampaging and ravaging our cities.
There is no “hidden” cure for idiocy.
AND grooming our kids and destroying entertainment.
This is very disturbing for leftists. How can a man go green and promote free speech? Counseling is available in room 101. Please sign up on the SharePoint site. Thanks to all and we will get to you when we can. We are very busy. Please use the hotline if you are in dire straits.
I love the smell of Inadvertent Truth in Communist Ink!
It’s just so ironic! 😉
Twitter leftists are seeing thousands fewer “followers” as bot accounts are cleaned out – their follower tally was greatly inflated by bot accounts (not a real people)
Recall that Elon said something about “verifying real humans” (i.e. – not a bot)
Far-Left Idiots Freak Out as Their Bots Jump Ship After Musk Buys Twitter
Soon after it was announced that Elon Musk purchased Twitter far-left users of Twitter saw their accounts begin to diminish and they freaked.
The announcement of Elon Musk includes many exciting happenings. Many of these weren’t imaginable one day ago. For one the left went crazy knowing that they will be destroyed by conservatives in policy arguments and smarts once Musk takes over.
But another reaction by the left is watching them freak because the number of followers on their accounts is decreasing by the thousands. Perhaps these bots are getting out now before Musk takes over as he has mentioned getting rid of these fake accounts.
The un-self-conscious arrogance of these people is staggering.
The ignorance is staggering too. It’s almost impossible to believe we have so many people in this country who have no common sense.
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
Maybe they’ll “get” that now.
Lib tears are delicious
But I still think there will be sabotage
oh yeah … they’ll monkeywrench as much as they can before Elon can take over
“The Intel agenciescan SCREW you, six ways from Sunday”,..and they WILL try.
Greenwald said “Musk is taking away perhaps their most powerful weopon, from the most powerful.
Do you think the intel community, Pentagon, Nato, EU, US Govt, etc. are just going to LET him?”
Thing is, I don’t THINK they are as powerful as they THINK they are, or as powerful as they want US to think they are,..
They are CONmunists, and whatever stripe or color, the essence of Conmunism IS THE CON, which includes making the masses believe they are more powerfulthan they really are.
WE are here, openly exchanging views THEY find abhorent; in order to have the power they want and need to have, to accomplish their ludicrous goals, they would need the control necesary to shut down CTH, TGP, rebel news, etc.
And,…obviously THEY DON’T.
He should fire every single one of them before they have time to do damage. Clean ’em out!
These satanists are full of hate, and sabotage is their middle name.
So they want the woke crowd to be safe and to hell with regular American citizens. Got it.
No it’s not about being safe, its about “feeling:” safe. It’s all about their “feelings”.
We wouldn’t want to melt the snowflakes.
We would get more water,🤔🤔That is a good thing, it’s green, environmentally friendly, makes things grow🤔🤔🤔 Right?🤗😁
“Gasoline and Propane, wo-ho,…no more snowflakes,..”
They are all emotional wrecks.
They are perpetual children, not fully matured and most likely due to their sheltered life by misguided parents who kept them protected way too long.
Each generation got worse than the one before.
I was a kid during the 50’s and my generation was out and about, running all through the neighborhood at a young age. It helped us to become resilient and logical thinking- and no playdates or sports organized by parents.
It’s really a sad thing. Parents today love their kids just as much as our parents did. They worry more about the world and its dangers now.
Hey Elon!!
Can you buy Dominion next?
Apparently not, if Dominion is significantly owned by the chicoms, as was reported IIRC.
Sundance, just like the Algorithms employed by Dominion.
1. 10 updates for CTH = 1
2. One (1) upvote fir the NY Times = 100 – 1,000
3. CTH link buried, like other Conservatives*
* = popular sites include a little picture box and graphic (my description is poor), say for @TheLastRefuge2 (CTH)… well, the CTH hasn’t had that special pop out box AND top ranking for over a year!
-> it’s just text
-> it’s down 3-4 places
4. Black Conservatives shadow banned.
5. UndeadFOIA banned two times for simply posting FOIA documents! [Influencer?]
6. 2000 Mules shadow banned and banned by YouTube?
Countless little games like this. Watch Conservative numbers explode!
” The need for control is a reaction to deep internal fear.”
I say it is a reaction to a deep sense of entitlement and delusions of superiority.
Yep, they have had nothing to fear from govt, media, academia, the churches or the Bureaucratic State for many decades.
They are enabled by the many millions who have no faith in their own intellects……
Problem is, when you are an athelete who, for many years participates in rigged games, where your opponent and the referees are all in on the fix, to insure you win, you get flabby and out of shape.
And when you are faced with a REAL competitor, you get your *ss kicked.
Just ask Hillary,…
Nice analogy!
they dont have a predator anymore due to the endangered species label abuse
👌👍👍👍
Says a lot! I have a daughter just like that.
I’m so sorry about that.

“Notice they keep using the words “safety”, as if being exposed to alternate perspectives is something that threatens safety.”
Muh safe place has been ransacked. Burn the evidence of our fascism in the name of equity before it sees the light of day. Akin to the scene of the “underclass” caddies being allowed pool access in Caddyshack.
Has many of the characteristics of a cult. Not sure who the cult leader is, maybe AI.
With all of their bot “followers” disappearing, they’re afraid to discover they were living a virtual reality in some stupid Chicom video game. Idiots.
“Hey, where did all the NPC’s go? Yesterday I had like,…a half million “followers” today I have,…6?”
Mass formation in the institutional setting.
The most important role an executive has: protect and preserve the mental health of the institutional commons.
Musk is a highly competent and well rounded executive. It shows in contrast how utterly incompetent the executive of a woke corporation tends to be.
There is an apparent pandemic of failed trustees in positions of great responsibility and significant authority.
Musk is a healthy, competent executive who understands the role.
Affirmative action and foreigners infiltrating corporate and political America. Foreign born people should not be able to hold any gov office top to bottom.
That includes illegal presidents and vice presidents. We allowed that to happen and look where it got us. They have no allegiance to this country. All they want to do is destroy.
If you look at it from the leftist perspective, it is about safety – their safety. Pushing propaganda works when it is the predominant words people hear. When alternate views and viewpoints are able to bury the propaganda with facts and obvious observations, it shows the propaganda for what it is. Once the blindfolds come off their fury and hellfire will be directed at their one time idols.
“The only safe spaces in Russia are nuclear fallout shelters, and the only snowflakes we have fall in winter.”

I like how this guy thinks.
I worked one summer at a country club and they opened the pool to us riff raff for one afternoon.
What a summer it was! This was before the movie Caddyshack came out.
It is not “unsafe” to do our own thinking and to debate differing viewpoints. In fact, freedom of speech and expression is codified under Constitutional law.
Trashing the Constitution is part of their New/ One World Order, to eliminate national sovereignty.
Twitter’s gatekeepers will just have to get over themselves unless they wish to be charged with conspiracy to commit TREASON.
Just look at the first name Parag Agrawal and wonder what his beliefs are.
Many of the employees at twatter are here foreigners on the HB visa program and should all be replaced because sabotage will be in twatters future if they are not removed.
Parag Agrawal….heard his response to employees via Veritas today. He understood full and well that Mr Musk is his new boss. At least in public he was taking this stance. Then again he may consider the DNC and IC to be his ultimate boss
never forget the likud mossad. they and their dual citizenship sayanim have called most of the shots for decades.
It’s a private company now. He has only one boss, at least while his employment lasts. Personally, if it were me I would say those famous words, “You’re Fired!”
The sh1th013 board too.
Send all of them back to where they came from. Foreign people are ruining this country, even Canadians come here and want their kind of gov. Maybe not all of them but the ones that I know are all dyed in the wool leftists who love Turdeau. Why are they here? Because they can make more money! Leftists are hypocrites.
Last I heard, he believes free speech doesn’t apply when he runs the show.
Agree 1,000%. They are all communists and should be fired tonight, not tomorrow.
Send them to a re-education camp!!
They come from caste and class societies. English is not their first language. They are not yet assimilated into American culture or the gestalt of the American people. They really don’t get it, and it shows.
But they know better than us inferior Americans. If they are so smart why can’t they build a great country where they are from? Why do they have to come here? They are killing the golden goose.
My fav, being in Cali, is all the Sjw’s who now hate their Teslas. Like- isn’t Elon still saving the climate? C’mon man.
Will the warranties cover tear induced shorts?

Garage and house caught on fire from electric car overheating while charging
And the market’s gonna be flooded with cheap Chinese batteries…
Not safe at any voltage.
I caught that, jx … good one
Yup.
Four car carriers lost at sea thus far due to EV fires, they are planning on shipping them with several thousand dollar fire blankets over each individual car.
Can you imagine the implications for home insurance costs?
Wow!
Have the Watermelons calculated the carbon footprint of the house burn – I have popcorn…I can wait….
And the batteries can burn for days. Very difficult to completely extinguish.
Lithium fires can’t be put out with water, only dirt, or sand.
Water will spread it, almost like the ancient Greek Fire.
Tell your friend the answer is: only if it is owned by a leftist.
They probably get triggered too when they ponder upon the realization that their EVs are actually powered by nuclear or gas oil or coal generated energy. Just wait until they find out that it requires the excavation 500,000 cu. ft. of earth to extract the lithium for the battery for their Musk-mobile and that it is non-recycleable.
You can’t fool them this easily.
They know electricity comes from the wall and that’s that.
What’s depressing… We’re swabbing over data, an invisible endless set of ones and zeros.
Free speech on Twitter will not reduce the size of government, restore liberty, repower constitutional or common law, or regain the US dollar.
We’re 100 years too late and celebrating our own deaths.
Sez you.
“We’re 100 years too late and celebrating our own deaths.”
Our founders had no such attitude when facing the world’s super power at the time.
Free speech on Twitter could very well begin the process of reducing the size of government.
Dev, I am a whole lot more hopeful than that. Free speech might mean that we are able to make different choices, better ones. Like electing Congressional representatives and a president who re-emphasize liberty, curb future spending and encourage the manufacturing and farming and mining and family life that made America prosperous and a beacon to the world. Wealth can reduce the deficit, improve the position of the dollar, end deficit balances of trade. We can forge peaceful relations with the world instead of constantly inciting war and interfering in the politics of other countries. It will take years and constant vigilance, but it can be done and should be done.
Their greatest weopon is the false narrative.
The false narrative of Climate Change, of CRT, of Covid, of Muh Russia, etc.
And, they make progress, in the time between generating the false narrative, and its inevitably being recognised as false, and even then SOME clinging to it.
Look at the “Hunters laptop is Russia disinfo” narrative; it facillitated the Steal, that they totally blocked the Posts reporting, while promulgating their false narrative.
If they can no longer have weeks or months, and instead are refuted in hours, definetly puts a real damper in their plans.
I got my first real dose of censorship when I found out I was shadow-banned on ABC News, probably 10 years ago. They used to have a lively political discussion board where you could even post your own topics. They started with relatively mild censorship like not allowing cussing and all the other usual stuff, but then things got strange when people stopped commenting to me. Another user told me about shadow banning. Well, by then, under Obama, free speech was under attack everywhere. I would be curious to find out if there is one censorship algo they all use, or if they use there own.
A few weeks ago, I got shadow banned by RedState a supposedly conservative web site. Likely by some article writer named streiff who doesn’t like anyone not worshiping Zelensky.
jackasses
besides Zelensky is NWO garbage
FZ
I was permanently banned by Breitbart and by Gateway Pundit five years ago, in both cases for posting a simple criticism of Trump. Censorship is not a tactic used only by the Left.
I was banned from RightScoop because of my support for President Trump in 2016! RightScoop was all in for Ted Cruz.
offcoursenation: A friend sent me a link today to a RedState article by Streiff, about Ukraine. The article, claiming massive destruction of Russian tanks, was a cheerleading piece for Ukraine, lacking any credibility.
Goes to show there is a pretty good market for this stuff among “conservatives.”
I know some conservatives who are not ignorant, but they steadfastly support ukraine, zelensky and hate putin. And they continue to watch Fox News. They thought I was crazy because I supported Putin over ukraine just like they thought I was crazy when I supported Trump in 2016. You’d think they would have learned by now. Anyway I left.
Now I’ve moved to a town which is a hive of liberal thinking, swapping the devil for the witch. The “we support ukraine” signs are everywhere….hanging from the ceilings of businesses, posted on telephone poles, bumper stickers, etc.
This place, managed completely by liberals, is dying by inches and the coming sea change (I hope) will finish it off.
Then I will be living in a rural area. Doesn’t bother me. I lived in solitary confinement where I was and I can live in solitary confinement where I am now.
RedState hasn’t improved at all; it’s just gotten slicker.
American thinker has gotten worse too.
Oh, you mean RINO-State?
Yeah, heard of it, and so checked it out, very briefly.
Not interested,..
I was actually banned from the same site approximately two years prior to that when the health care debate was in full swing. I had some choice words for the lies / propaganda that Stephanopoulos was promoting about the HCA at the time on ABC .
Breitbart is the greatest shadow banning practitioner I’ve come up against, in the putative conservative digital neighborhood.
There must evolve a referee site that collects data, and describes systems of quieting the unruly horde. That site would make a trillion dollars !
“And that, that is our job,” she said.

Project Veritas recording of the Twitter meeting right after the Musk takeover.
https://gettr.com/post/p178usebd5a
Here’s Project Veritas’ full 45 minute recording of the Twitter meeting:
The left will lose control ! The left loons are losing their minds because when they LIE —
they won’t be able to stop THE TRUTH from coming out !
When 2000 Mules comes out, they will not be able to refute the evidence. It won’t be censored.
MSM is on it’s last legs. Most ppl get their news online, especially Gen Y, Millennials and Gen Z.
Obama ran a successful campaign in 2008 using digital media. He came out this week waxing eloquently about misinformation…Info that his side wants to continue controlling, as a good tyrant would.
I hope Jack Dorsey offers support and more to Musk. He created Twitter, and apparently admitted there are- ah- some issues. We’ll see going forward who steps up to help Musk, because the knives will be out from all sides.
Lock Jack out and take away his keys. He CANNOT be trusted. Period. End of story.
^^^ This.
Actions speak louder than words and Dorsey has proven where he stands.
Jack chose wealth
Musk tossed wealth away
Love the way they’re freaking out about “HEALTH” on their snowflake site.
It’s all about assuring HEALTH.
Their fragile mental health.
Kind of like Liberal’s ideas about “reproductive health” I guess.
In their twisted minds it’s okay to kill free speech or even BABIES…
just so long as people aren’t made to feel uncomfortable or inconvenienced.
Wow!
I persevered through the entire 45 minute recording…..
The questions asked sounded like they were coming from a bunch of narcissistic brats to me…..”fweelings” were mentioned multiple times (so many I lost count). The employees themselves seemed obsessed with “controlling the experiences and health?” of the users, like they think it is their “right” to do so.
They really are quite taken with their “importance”.
On the other hand, at least the management and board recognizes the significance of being a public entity and having a fiduciary duty to their shareholders.
JMHO
Indeed… since at least 2016:
Funniest video so far dealing with this:
Love JP.
Great, thanks for the link.
FABULOUS!!!!
Good stuff.
Hilarious. Probably an accurate picture of twitter employees. Leftist love censorship because they know they can’t win a debate on their whacko fruitcake ideas.
Obama’s plea the other day for MORE censorship, not less, came off to me as a self-preserving ultimatum. Aided by fawning laptop lapdogs – who continue to ignore and dismiss that his administration blew up the Middle East/Northern Africa which killed and maimed multitudes, stoked racial division and violence here at home leading to record crime rates, etc, etc. – Biden’s infamous and telling summation of the man may still be what captivates the sycophants most: “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.” Obama’s capitalized on this attitude and it’s taken him far, but he’s made the mistake of leading his party beyond the edge of reason. They’ve become certifiably crazy and too many people are noticing. We may end up with another long, hot, violent summer — I doubt the Orwellian lunatics and their figurehead will give up easily.
Based on past performance, I cheer everytime they bring out Obummer, because it means they are losing and so desperate.
Psalm 37
A very wise and foretelling psalm.
Wow, how prophetic! Especially line 21. Definitely a sign for our times.
I linked it over on today’s open thread.
That Pakistani Freak with the bad accent is barely coherent in the English language.
How did he ever get in such a position of power in a communications industry?
I was wondering the exact same thing today, but realized we already know the answer. The H1-B visa program (which Trump famously promised to eliminate in 2016, but then reneged) allow the tech companies, among others, to bring in (relatively) cheap labor from India and other countries to take jobs that otherwise would have been filled by Americans.
It’s the reason the tech companies are filled to overflowing with anti-American parasites and communists from the Third World. Parasites that the Congress just waved in to destroy the middle class in this country. If you’re looking for culprits, look at every President after Reagan (aside from Trump), plus Schumer, McConnell, Pelosi, McCarthy and all their Uniparty predecessors. They did this. They gave us this Parag scumbag.
These third worlders are being ‘groomed’ to take over this great land (can we say ‘trafficking’, legally so to speak. The problem is, they, TPTB, WILL run out of other people’s money before they accomplish their evil deed, at least at this pace.
The resourcefulness, ingenuity and determined nature of the average citizen, will negate this. Plus someone a few days wrote in an article, I think at AT, that telling Americans ‘what to do’ is not in our DNA.
I used to be of the opinion that the tech jobs were high paying back in the day…until foreigners took those jobs away from Americans.
Sorry, Reagan flooded this country with millions of illegals from his amnesty, far more than even Biden. That’s where it all started. They swore on a stack of bibles they would build a wall and enforce immigration if amnesty is given to 4 million illegals. And then you have the chain migration that followed. Everything they promise is the exact opposite of what they deliver.
Reagan was no conservative hero.
Bwaahahaahahaaa…. oh, Goose, you crack me up!
Maybe the same way a demented old corrupt thief became president of the USA!
H1-B visa programs that allow immigrants into our country on a wok permit and they don’t have to leave their brain at the door. They have not taken the arduous American citizen classes that true immigrants who want to become citizens take and learn about what it is to be an Ameican, our values, our Constitution. . No, they come with their brainy potential and a lifetime of the indoctrination of the land they came from. Then they want to make ours like theirs. Very scary infiltration and if Musk can get these foreign nationals out of these positions of power it will be a big accomplishment.
The skin color spectrometer they use for hiring.
And in only 4 months at that……he also said he has been here 10 years but I don’t know if that meant he’s been in this country for 10 years or what because he also said he had been at twatter for 4 months. How’d he get in that position in just 4 months?
Given Musk’s membership in the WEF Young Global Leaders Group and the majority of his wealth being due to the US and Chinese government’s being his top two clients how can he be the next saintly businessman due to his saying he supports free speech. It’s curious that he made this acquisition just as Truth Social started to expand and open to more users. What’s to say he isn’t trying to blunt, neutralize or destroy Truth Social?
Or with a Republican tsunami predicted for the 2022 elections, and since the US government is his largest client, might he be trying to get ahead of the 2022 election curve and sound Republican in order to protect his government contracts and Tesla EV subsidies?
Musk is on record as saying he is a socialist.
Given that the majority of his wealth and client base is derived from the US and Chinese governments, coupled with his WEF membership, his acquisition of Twit doesn’t automatically make him a supporter of free speech and American constitutional values.
Never accept things at face value nor accept what they say . Musk’s past actions are cause for concern as to what his true intent is with the acquisition on Twit.
“I am actually a socialist. Just not the kind that shifts resources from most productive to least productive, pretending to do good, while actually causing harm. True socialism seeks greatest good for all.”
Elon’s actual tweet. BTW, you really have to get to know his personality, to understand his musings. In another tweet he asked not to be taken too seriously, saying it was just a “tweet”.
I have listened to many, many interviews of Musk and can say he truly believes in doing the greater good for all. I don’t believe he is a “socialist” as most of us know the moniker. Musk is on a different plane and knows how to stir the pot through a wit only he understands sometimes.
Agreed.
If that’s what he said, then it sounds like he doesn’t understand socialism at all. The only kind of socialism is that which “shifts resources from most productive to least productive, pretending to do good, while actually causing harm.” True socialism doesn’t “seek the greatest good for all,” it is a fantasy world in which money grows on trees and falls into people’s laps.
Musk is obscenely wealthy. He would not have done it for the greater good unless he saw profits somewhere.
IMHO; those people don’t get rich by throwing away their money. They invest it. They leverage it. They create new products with a market share and value in mind. Like my go to in business comparisons, Apple, lets wait and see what develops from this.
None of us are in Musk’s head. We know what he has said. We know what he is worth.
What I believe is in Musk’s head? His own personal business plan…his privately deep held ‘intellectual property’. Like Bill Gates, it may take time for the ‘real’ to shine forth.
I think you are reaching.
So what if he is? That’s what capitalism is about. Competition. If Truth Social can’t stand a rival, then it’s not that great a product, is it?
I don’t see competition; why can’t I be on twatter AND Truth Social? The two aren’t mutually exclusive, just like GAB and Parler, the more the merrier; competition makes things better. Thats the whole idea.
We have to watch his moves very carefully and be very astute. We can call them out if we don’t like what he is doing! We are out of ‘woke prison! And if he purchased Twitter in a timely fashion to butt heads with Truth Social, we n need to remember where our allegiance lies, with the man who fought for us for 4 years. That is where the ultimate truth is and our future.
I agree, see my response upthread to nybob.
Not on twitter and never will be.
Business is in business to make money. (someone once said something like ‘at some point you have made enough’?)
He sees dollar signs with the alleged upcoming ‘red tsunami’.
How can one be a billionaire and a socialist? It makes absolutely no sense, unless you are feeding at the socialist gov trough. I think it is only fair that he take a 90% cut in his billion dollar salary and distribute the other 900 mil to his employees. It would be the good socialist thing to do. I could live very handsomely on a $100 mil a year salary. I could live like a king on $1 mil a year. If he believes in socialism why does he need more? Can someone please ask him that question?
It’ll be interesting if Musk does the thing that Trump did not do in 2017: FIRE EVERYBODY.
This will be a trial run for if the GOP can overcome election fraud in 2022/24 – Operation: Decapitation.
No MAGA President will be allowed to do anything by the Permanent Government, and (just like they did to Trump), they’ll spend every waking hour creating phony scandals and being disobedient. Inauguration Day 2024: FIRE EVERYBODY – every political appointee in every cabinet Department in the Federal Government regardless of who appointed them. Basically anybody who has to get Congressional approval gets canned.
Musk will need to do this on Twitter and bring in an entirely new team. He’ll be best served replacing the entire Executive Team with white men over 50, and their job is going to be rooting out the resistance at the workerbee level. Pretty much anybody else is suspect. Otherwise, he’s going to be fighting his own version of the “resistance” inside Twitter.
Fire Everybody.
If they won’t work properly, they will quit. No need to fire everyone. Beside which, if he fires everyone, he will have no company. There will be nothing left. 45 million down the tubes.
I don’t think so. I think it’s not uncommon for new ownership to start replacing key people in positions of power and authority. I just happen to think he should be aggressive in doing so…not nibble at it or try to win them over. He’s going to have to wipe them out, and quickly.
They didn’t quit when Trump won. They went to war.
Oh yes, because white men over 50 have done such a great job running the country recently.
How about pull common-sense people from a variety of demographics in order to have a more balanced view?
How about just qualified people period?
Remember when 99.9% of Americans believed in free speech as a bedrock right in the USA?
That’s down to near 50% today. There aren’t more of us than them. It’s near equal. That’s why the country is in such dire straits. Nearly half the country has been brainwashed to believe the Democrats’ nonsense that the government has to be able to suppress speech that is a “threat to democracy”. The fools.
It is not down to 50%. It is the same 15% screaming loud enough to make people think they are 50%. 15% screaming, 35% who have no idea what’s going on, ever, and 50% who are extremely pissed off at the 15%.
It’s like that ABC News poll last week claiming that 60% of the public wants the mask mandate on transit (e.g. airplanes) reinstated.
I traveled from Colorado through Texas to Florida and am now in Northern VA. 3 flights, many thousands of people on the airplanes and in the terminals. Masks are very rare. Even flying into VA, maybe 10% of the people on the plane were masked. Possibly less. The ABC News poll is a lie.
There is no poll showing that half the country doesn’t believe in free speech. And if there was, it was 100% fake.
Mainly because of the accents you hear in the leadership of these companies. They are not Americans, and they have been at war with America for decades.
So, it depends on who you poll.
Ms. Pelosi, how’s that January 6 propaganda going for you? The propaganda that you thought would take down Trump before the mid-terms with your illegal witch-hunt committee? What are you thinking about free speech where your machinations, biased politics, and the DOJ false flag might be exposed?
I am loving every minute of this.
The Un-Select committee was not aimed primarily at “Trump”; it is aimed at primary challengers who run on a MAGA campaign platform, against RINOS.
Accuse any who take the MAGA position on the 2020 election, as supporting Insurrection, in order to discourage them FROM campaigning on that.
While all the twitter snowflakes are melting down, let’s not take our eyes off the perimeter. The UK and EU/EC have already directed thinly veiled threats against Musk. Surely little Justine to our north will chime in soon, as will other countries. Their intel agencies are doing the same thing as our IC, so they need a common outcome.
Elon Musk Warned by Western Governments Following Twitter Takeover (theepochtimes.com)

Personally I would never ever trust Elon Musk over nothing! Remember he still is a Minion of Ole’ Barack Hussein “”IF I HAD A SON THE POLICE ACTED STUPIDLY”” Obama????
How do you possibly figure that?
Examples?
Musk is not only the wealthiest African-American, Musk may also prove to be the most important and influential African-American of our modern era.
the groomer left has found their next boogie man.
The overheated hissy-fit protests from the Left prove that they’re just a collection of people whose development froze at about age two.
Spoiled-brats who’ve never in their entire lives heard the word ‘No’, are now hearing it, loud and clear from Musk, DeSantis, and many others and they don’t know what to do.
Perhaps in manner of the emotional problem children they’ve long been, they can go and smear their cribs with feces. No doubt their aged hippie parents will praise them as budding Rembrandts.
Like a boss.
oooooooooh…..scarry place for the little snowflakes.
“I missed the gender reveal, is that a boy or a girl, Mr. Musk??”
That’s pretty funny!
Also it’s good to keep in mind what these huge social media companies actually are. Anyone who’s been coming here better damn well know by now. I have heard J Dorsey wasn’t actually a bad dude. But if you look at Twitter’s biz model as explained by CTH you understand they could have never survived; at least not without help.
The help consists of Dark Ops within our CIA & FBI & Military. They may have a different name but they exist I am pretty sure of it. They operate independently most likely take orders from the Globalists type.
Again I’m not raining on anyone’s parade. Enjoy the win. My hope is that one day whatever that is still good in the groups mentioned above turn on these shadowy characters. They have the best ability to affect change and start the process which will get things moving on the right track again. You put them on the run and I promise you more will follow your lead. Everyone is just waiting for someone to break ranks and make a move. The dominoes will fall like meteors thereafter.
Godspeed!!!!
You don’t think they we don’t already know who they actually area? We needed to gather information on these “walkers on water” and do a huge expose!!! This would blow it wide and the organization who be then Musk’s to do as he pleases.
It’s a great party. All the right people are extremely pissed off.
“Feel safe?” Nobody cares about your feelings. If you “feel triggered” by open adult dialogue on various topics, you are obviously too immature to join the discussion. Adulting 101: If I’m thinking right, I feel right. If I’m thinking wrong, I will feel wrong.
What actual “jobs” do Twitter employees perform? If the speech platform is in place, all that’s left to do is maintain the platform. I’m guessing the majority of these employees are there to censor tweet contents based on their boss’s ideology.
Like many of you, I’m excited about the possibility of free speech changes to Twitter. But I have serious concerns about the timing of all this in relation to Truth Social’s grand opening. Seth Holthouse has expressed the concerns in this sentiment on his Man in America episode today.

Yyeah, this thought has crossed my mind too. There is room for both I think, though, especially if Truth develops its own niche.

Ref-That Audio.
What the H3lL kind of syntax usage is that ‽
It sounds like some Holywood Orwellian Twilight Zone BS.
Good God people actually talk like that ???
When did that sick crap start???
That alone is reason to lock them up and Never, let them out.
Fox News broke up the msm monopoly and they’ve been trying ever since to get them banned. They may end up losing their grip on twitter. But the one that started it was Rush. There will never be another like him. He stayed number one the entire time he was on the radio waves. But he started a movement that will keep on growing.
Fox news was a RESPONCE to Rush; first they tried their own, leftist talk radio, called “Air America” IIRC.
It went down like a lead balloon.
Then Fox went to all the “radio personalities” that had walked in Rushs footsteps, Hannity, Ingraham etc. and offered them BIG BUCKS contracts, to move to Fox, and didn’t read the fine print that gave Fox control over content.
They tried to get Rush, but he already had enough $, and I suspect smelled a rat.
Little blue bird has flown the coup. He’s free to chirp what’s on his mind.
Nothing wrong with that. This is America, it’s what we are about. Everyone gets a say, even the kooks and the evil doers. It’s up to us to read, observe, and make informed decisions.
Reading the comments is the best part of free speech. Isnt Twitter doing READING and getting “Educated” into the pchyc of all think thats out there like it or not?
Dems Hemorrhage Followers, Republicans Do Numbers After Musk Buys Twitter
https://www.thedailybeast.com/democrats-hemorrhage-followers-republicans-do-numbers-after-elon-musk-buys-twitter?source=TDB&via=FB_Page&fbclid=IwAR1IjE0O2xHXFEX3-rfx3kqf7LNE5TStstVdI-haBiXX-fJ4RcbGz28vArs
I just downloaded Twitter for the heck of it. I’ve never cared to be on it, but now I’m entertained by the outrage ha.
And…after 20 minutes, I’m over it. No thanks!
I think what Agarwal is talking about is to design-in censorship rather than having separate algorithms doing it, so that it cannot be disabled easily with just removing some modules, but requiring major fundamental code changes. I don’t know how they have grown TWTR code base, but if it’s organic and not planned (I can’t imagine how unwieldy it has to be), but programmers can make life hard for Elon by making the changes very painful to keep the platform running without destabilizing its performance. We’ll see. There will be more on this topic, but I suspect Elon is going to bring in folks he trusts with enterprise-grade software to do code reviews, or call up the people within Twitter leading product development to give directives to remove unnecessary restrictions on content, or else.
The news media is largely a 19th century invention.
While working as a reporter in Reno, Mark Twain relied on travelers for his “news”. Itinerants came with the advantage of not sticking around to contradict any embellishments to the story.
Reporters of the mid-twentieth century advanced their careers by being eye-witnesses to the major events of the Second World War. Murrow at the London Blitz, Richard C. Hottelet at D-Day etc. Dan Rather had the the good fortune (for him) of being a local Dallas new reporter who happened to find himself in the middle of the events of the JFK assassination. He continued to broadcast his personal ambition by visiting the Afghan-Russian war front in Pashtun disguise.
Now? Our timid reporters stay determinedly far away from the Ukraine war front, while loyally reporting whatever the Biden Administration demands.
The question has certainly occurred to most of us, if not to these nimrods: who needs them? With the electronics of the modern age, what purpose do highly-paid corporate journalists serve, except as adept propagandists?
The frantic demands for censorship of Twitter from our feckless journalists surely betrays their awareness of their looming obsolescence. Citizen journalists can supply everything the shiftless journalists do, without the omnipresent leftist dogma.
Freedom of speech, of the most mundane sort, is an existential threat to journalists who no longer strive to provide true factual insight, never mind superior writing. A child operating a cellphone and an internet connection is a better journalist than anybody operating a hairspray can at CNN.
If what Musk says is true about Twitter and he provides openness and transparency, the”Silent Majority” will have a voice.
Not sure how the Chinese and others will react but looking forward to having clean, open, discussions going into elections.
‘Notice they keep using the words “safety”, as if being exposed to alternate perspectives is something that threatens safety.’
They’re talking about their safety, not ours ..
Late to the party…my thoughts are this…this company being bought and going private…big deal. Yes, I believe the free speech is a huge issue.
The timing of this is suspect. Nor is this a spontaneous run of the mill idea to suddenly and impulsively, ‘buy’ the twit site. Like our beloved POTUS, who planned that escalator ride, for the “right moment in history”, this business purchase has been well planned.
No one who is insanely wealthy, or not, drops many billions for a purchase, without a well thought out business plan which takes, at the least, a few months of planning.
Maybe its been in the news, I don’t follow those folks until the headlines screams in my face and annoys me and that is why I have lots of questions, unanswered.
How often do we get our shorts in a wad over a company going private?
Bigger media has hijacked something to divert our attention.
“control people’s experiences”. He said it…out loud. These people are unbelievable that they don’t get it how sick that is…they honestly believe that it is their job to “control” people. How can they NOT know how sick that sounds, not to mention against everything America stands for?
the only thing these foreign invaders will understand is being thrown out of the country by force.
