Cultural Marxism is the modern philosophy to advance political correctness toward the agenda of social change. Creating fear around speech is a technique for controlling what people are permitted to say and ultimately think. Cultural Marxism is the merging of political correctness with advanced social pressures, including from the Big Tech social media platforms, from the political left to stop and shun any speech they disagree with.
One of the common ways to understand this is to realize that speech the leftists disagree with, they label as ‘violence’. However, actual violence that supports the leftist agenda is labeled as speech. Cultural Marxism is the twisting of words and control of language to advance a far-left agenda.
In part of his monologue tonight, Fox News host Tucker Carlson uses the example of Elon Musk and Twitter to highlight the threat they perceive from the possibility of an open public discussion. {Direct Rumble Link} – WATCH:

There is a reason why our Founding Fathers decided “Free Speech” is the 1st amendment!
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Free speech is nestled between freedom of religion and petitioning the government. The importance of this should not be ignored. Speech that is used to compel government action should come from the wisdom of exercising our faith free of government interference.
“Free speech is nestled…”
“…thereby guarding in the same sentence and under the same words, the freedom of [..];
“insomuch that whatever violates either throws down the sanctuary which covers the others.”
–Thomas Jefferson: Draft Kentucky Resolutions, 1798
It is nice to quote Jefferson about the First Amendment, but remember HE did not have anything to do with the drafting and the writing of the Constitution. He was in France during the Constitutional Convention. It is why James Madison is called The Father of the Constitution.
And to think today we have an FBI who pounces on parents who show up at School Board Meetings to inquire/ protest the rabid Leftist indoctrination shoved down the kids throats.
Well said, VibeMan.
That is an excellent observation and should not be glossed over. This represents the priorities of the Founders – i.e., their intended limitations on government and its powers as juxtaposed against our natural God-given rights of existence.
“The materials now bearing on the public mind will infallibly restore it to its republican soundness… if the knowledge of facts can only be disseminated among the people.”
–Thomas Jefferson to Archibald Stuart, 1799
100%
So simple.
So true.
“… if the knowledge of facts can only be disseminated among the people.”
Which is why the msm is SO connected to the hip, with THIS administration.
. . and what is “the press” ? It is a technology for recording and broadcasting speech. And is that not what the internet is — just another kind of press ?
that’s why they did not define what the press was.
Yes, but Congress is restricted, not Twitter. Hate to be a yes-butter, but there it is.
Which is why the government asks social media to do their dirty work.
Which is unconstitutional and illegal.
Correct, but nonetheless is being done as evidenced most recently with covid information and the stolen 2020 election. When you have an administration and a government bureaucracy that cares not a wit about the rule of law, this is what you get.
Well, at this point in time… it’s gone!
You have to be cancelled to appreciate that.
The Errorists hate you for your freedom.
Exposing errors gets you cancelled.
“Freedom of the press is the first shut up by those who fear the investigation of their actions.”
–Thomas Jefferson to John Tyler, 1804
It’s always been my contention that this LUST for POWER that seems to know no limits is in part due to the
absolute necessity of the criminals in power to COVER UP THEIR CRIMES.
Everything they do, everything they say, every single lie they spew forth, with forked tongues, has to do with the covering up the truth/facts.
Desperation is putting it lightly.
In a just and sane world, tens of thousands of people would be imprisoned, and made to pay for crimes committed. The list is endless.
What shocks me, is they dont even attempt to hide the criminality of the left, and their complicit, kiss arse RINO’s.
It is in your face, and they laugh about it.
I dont see our side ever wanting to kiss and make up with these Marxist. lying trash bags….All of them. I run out of words at times, to describe, how I truly feel about these evil humans……..
It takes a lot to keep oneself above the belt, with comments. 100 per cent true.
“There is a reason why our Founding Fathers decided “Free Speech” is the 1st amendment!”
I really do not understand why Twitter users rally under the banner of free speech when they all agreed to let Twitter have full control.
It is not free speech. The terms and conditions one signs to use the Twitter applications and data storage, give Twitter full permission to delete, modify, sell, or release any and all information about the user – including any and all information gathered from other apps on the phone or computer. It also allows them to delete any account for any reason.
It is all in the contract one agrees to when you click “I Agree”. You can argue the validity or terms of the contract (which some have) but the basis is not the 1st Amendment of US Constitution.
BigTech is dangerous and does control an anti-freedom narrative, but it is because they enjoy government-protected corporate monopoly status.
AMEN!!! Someone who gets it!!! Thank you!
Saw a post some time back which stated: “Imagine the reaction of “the people”, if, 20 years ago, the government wanted to imbed in one’s body, a CHIP, to allow the government to track you and everything you did, so that the government could CONTROL you and your actions by threats from that government…. INSTEAD, the people INVITED this monitoring of self, by BUYING AND USING CELL PHONES!”
(think about it)
And image if 50 years ago ATT offered you free home and business phone service if you just let them monitor, record and sell your phone conversations.
Cellphones are but a few steps away from digital DI and digital currency.
Actually James Madison The Father of the Constitution contemplated putting the Second Amendment as the First…
Either order is fine.
I actually disagree – an armed society is a polite society.
There is also a reason why the founding fathers made the right to keep and bear arms the 2nd amendment.
Tucker Carlson – today’s Paul Revere and more.
If he was a Paul Revere he would be fighting lawsuits and indictments like the Oathkeepers, Bannon and Trump or in solitary like the J6 political prisoners.
Oh no, he’s well insulated and will not step over the line. Fox needs him for the ratings so they give him alot of leeway to keep conservatives coming back.
He’s stating what has become obvious and almost mainstream now.
Fox is not MAGA and neither is Carlson and that is the pivot point of someone’s genuineness.
Please – nobody is perfect – let’s give credit where credit is due. He is certainly doing more than any of us except Sundance. And Sundance must think highly of what Tucker is saying or he wouldn’t post his comments.
More so, Tucker reaches millions. Some live, but a lot watch the saved videos.
Idiotic. Tucker does what he can. What would be the point going over the line when he has the biggest show as is. Now he reaches people he otherwise wouldn’t. The glass is half full. Focus on that. Tucker has opened the eyes of many Democrats who wouldn’t listen to Bannon and others.
We should ‘take what we can get and give credit to Tucker for whatever he can give us… which is, and has been, QUITE A LOT!
I have come to believe differently…Tucker moved his entire family up to his estate in Northern Maine, for safety. I suspect it’s well secured. I think he’s been ruminating on this for a while, what to do.
He knows his family won’t have any freedom if the bad guys win, and TPTB would murder him. He knows about all the filth of Fox, and I think he’s seeing how far he can push it before leaving, testing the limits. And Fox can’t afford to let him go. He has them under his thumb, in a sense. I DO think he has a conscience. Each show pushes the envelope a little further, if you notice.
He has money, he could walk away, and name his price, but I don’t know. I think he moved his family to safety, and will do his shtick as long as he can. He has options that we don’t. I think he has seen the whoredom of Hannity, Laura, etc, and decided to make his own path.
Time will tell.
Obama owns the DOJ so why can’t Elon own a Government Agency, too?
Being he’s a WEF guy or worse, there should be no problem with it. Maybe the left should look into Musk’s background.
He’s more of a wildcard. He maybe WEF, but he also goes off the reservation so to speak and does his thing for whatever reason, that only he knows – regardless of consequences to himself or anyone else.
Bingo, the Left can’t control him. ‘The enemy of my enemy is my friend’, at least temporarily.
Putin is also a WEF defector.
Just FYI. One day, if you make a splash on the political scene you will awaken to an email, thinking it’s spam or phishing..though it kind of is.. It will be from the WEF and they have awarded you their coveted “Young Global Leaders” award. They then post a pic of you on their site as being awarded by them.
If you look into anyone’s background you can find things. But people wake up from experience. Back in 2008 I was a big Democrat. I walked away after watching O’Reilly, listening to Dennis Prager and Larry Elder.
Trump has awakened too. He was always America First, but not politically where he is today.
Musk no doubt has been through a fire storm lately and this opens one’s mind to other thinking.
Sure, maybe you haven’t been listening to what he says. For starters, what is his ideas for twatter? REAL ID (to combat the bots, hahahaha, sure) and there is more, never mind his ideas for implanting chips in your head (check out his monkey experiments)
It’s horrible! Folks who cannot move from being quadraplegic may get an implant and be able to communicate via voice or computer screen, manipulate robots. This type of research needs to be halted immediately.
oR THEY COULD BE PLACED UNDER ROMOTE CONTROL BY THE CHIP MAKER
Nice. Very good.
“Comrade, your statement is factually incorrect.”
“Indeed it is, but it is politically correct.”
Let’s not give ozero any credit. He is/was a tool. He is not that smart. Think VJ. She was the smart one. The fourth branch controls everything, including corporations. In turn, corporations tell gubmint what to do. Now, how do We The People Deplorables fix this? This is going to take some work. Where is the Federation of Planets when you need it?
Cute! Thanks.
I’m mainly looking forward to the mass firings Musk seems to have planned for the many shrieking cat ladies and Karen’s who seem to be employed there…
It matters not who owns Twitter. The whole thing should be burned to ashes as the worst cancer ever inflicted on a free people. Every Twitter server should be incinerated, and the ashes thrown into an active volcano. If nobody used Twitter again, and if the people who worked there were banned from society and all employment forever as punishment, the world would be a better place.
It has no redeeming qualities and, paraphrasing Gandalf, “the thing is altogether evil.”
Twitter has turned into a liberal cesspool where “wrong think” is censured. My account was nuked the same day as Trumps.
Even if Elon purchases it, I won’t go back.
The bat go a lifetime ban . . . . . He is proud of that.
After five accounts, I figured it wasn’t worth it anymore. I wonder if I’ll get them all back after Musk takes control?
On a different slant, Twitter could be “reimagined” to provide exposure worldwide of oppressive, corrupt governments and their enablers. Imagine if, say the WEF or Blackrock, was fully exposed for its backchannel influences on governments around the world. Just one of many possibilities.
That will never be allowed to happen. The FBI is already likely in the middle stages of raid planning. Crime to be announced later.
I love it! Let’s keep imagining a world where we have absolutely no control. Perfect! I just gotta break that all american habit of knowing I wasn’t born downhilll from any SOB.
Milieu control.
There ARE alternatives ‘out there’…….. WHY aren’t hundreds of thousands MORE users moving to these alternatives?
The alternatives are smaller and as much echo chambers as Twitter was favoring leftists.
This is why Truth Social is growing every day.
Just try posting the effects of the warp speed gene therapy or diss Balfouristan and watch how fast you get shut down. They are all cesspools of censorship.
No need for any firings. I would expect that the shrieking Karens employed there would do the honorable thing and resign their positions in protest of this new ownership that they so strongly detest. Nope. Doubt the content of their character would allow for that.
As for the platform itself, it’s a communication device that provides a venue for the free expression of ideas……..as long as there’s no self-aggrandizing nitwits operating as censors trying to stifle the opinions of others. I don’t give a twit about Twitter, it’s the control freaks currently running the place I detest.
No, we thought that when Trump won. Months ago, when Musk announced his intent to purchase Twitter, I wrote that he will need to decapitate the organization and actively DRIVE OUT the Fifth Column that stays behind to destroy him and the company.
They’ve probably already got 15-20 volunteers ready to accuse him of sex crimes or racism.
He will need to intentionally purge the organization of Leftists.
Exactly right…. if he’s smart, he’d better clean house at Twitter in a big way.
Immediately as Job One.
Yep. I say we nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Nice one, Ripley.
I actually found one good use for Twitter. During the Ferguson madness, the BLM leaders used Twitter to tell their people where to go for the next demonstration/direct action. As this was taking place not far from where I lived and worked this was something useful to know.
So I followed several of the main guys, and when it was time to for example go home from work, I quickly checked Twitter, found out what they were planning and where, and revised my route as needed to avoid them. Saved myself a lot of trouble!
There are alternatives to that. There is no accommodation with evil.
We tried that with MySpace, Friendster, and LifeLog.
They ended up joining hatebook, instasham, sitter, siktalk, gulag…
If you want to transform people into “Good Germans”, you need milieu control.
If not, you get what Russian Bolsheviks called “deviationists”.
Totalitarian democracy is dangerous to our Liberty.
My opinion only.
Free speech terrifies the left and that’s because the truth is allowed to be heard . That’s not acceptable to the left , the truth is the one thing that will completely destroy their party .
True. Their arguments are weak and constructed upon lies.
As much as the media props up the fraud of the leftists, their echo chamber is their biggest weakness. Bold truth spoken amid the leftist tribe destroys their sense of identity. This is why they need “safe spaces.”
They pretend to need “safe spaces” as if they are too delicate to hear something that disagrees with their misinformation.
But that pretense is a manipulation. Abusers often pretend weakness and neediness and blame others for failures. The strong put on the armor of strength and competence, even when they don’t feel so strong or brave or fail at something.
Belle, I respectfully disagree: they aren’t “pretending” I have a leftist Nazi sister, we had several discussions about politics/culture.
And then she said she didn’t want to talk about that stuff any more, cause every time we talked, she was mad for two days after.
So, she basically implied either stop talking about anything but exchanging recipes, or ancient family history, or she would cut off communication.
So, I mostly stick within her verbotens, but occasional step across the line.
For one thing, she is the only leftists I have contact with.
I texted her “How about Tulsi Gabbard? Talking Truth to Power!”
She sent back “Good riddance!”
Anyway, its REAL. They aren’t ‘pretending’ hearing views outside their bubble REALLY pisses them off, and gets them “upset”.
My daughter and her husband are the same…curious about some issues they know TPTB are outright lying to them yet they swallow the propaganda about PDJT, COVID, VAX, AGW/CC, etc hook line, and sinker
I overheard a masked mother and her adult daughter in a waiting room discussing the creation of the supposed deadly new Covid variant in a university lab. The daughter giggled nervously, “Now, WHY would they do that?”
Guaranteed that these two have no idea that the first virus was also a deliberately engineered bioweapon, as well as the so-called vaccine they are now pushing into the children’s vaccine schedule. Had they any clue, a more accurate observation would be, “Why WOULDN’T they do that?”
PS: I doubt they even did. Why would they need to create a new virus when they already have deadly mRNA gene editing injections?
More likely, they are just making excuses to get ahead of the deaths expected from the injections themselves. And being the genocidal maniacs they are, they will surely blame us fully humans for the new “outbreak.”
Ditto some of my family members. The feeling of moral certainty is sedating and intoxicating, and progs don’t want to give that up for the uncertainty of not being sure who on their tv is telling the truth.
So, she basically implied either stop talking about anything but exchanging recipes, or ancient family history, or she would cut off communication.
The aggressor sets the rules.
Dutchman you are a better man than I.
I have completely disowned family members in this very situations.
I share blood with them? So what. Had they the power they would have forced the deathshot on me or just had me killed because they know better than I and my refusal to submit is intolerable to the tolerant leftests.
I felt this strong desire to lose my family members over a few conversations, one was “nobody likes God pushers” I am in love with our lord and I am told to love everyone so there was conflict within myself. My own family should be first on the list of love, right? Jesus was given that question also and chose his followers over his family. Several entries in the manual explain who are our family, blood means nothing except. Except you are spiritually connected to your blood, we have a direct link to the spirit. Even still they can deny truth for selfish reasons, many do because of perceived judgement. I do judge by my words, words of truth, I cannot deny that.
All that history to say, if you can withstand the enemy who inhabit your friends and family without compromise of your self then party on. I find myself engaging them to prove their lunacy in beliefs. It never works, and truth may be such a contrast to others belief they will not let go of themselves long enough to see it. God will devastate that ego if we pray, other than that just be a standard in the path.
This idea, that there are enemies inhabiting ones friends and family, is a heck of a way to demonize and “other” people. As mentioned, it doesn’t work unless willingly part of that clique because the people that play that game are excellent manipulators, abusers, mini-lords over all their domain. Who would want to be around people like that? Life’s too short to waste the time given us to constantly try to fit in with people that need their scapegoat to justify the continuance of their game.
2 Corinthians 6:14
Perhaps Palerider is referring to those who walk in darkness.
Also, Jesus told us to pray for our enemies…..so we must have some enemies if we are to pray for them.
This is exactly what is going on. Anything else but accepting that as how it is because ‘family’ is the same thing abused conservative syndrome feeds off of and why rino’s keep on getting elected.
Also been there, done that and in the process became just like that red haired lady now able to see the storm on the horizon.
Agree re the family members/relatives… I would never have ‘realized/discovered’ the lack of Critical Thinking that I encountered once ‘the flu’ came along.
Covid has shown everyone the divide: those who think critically to make their own decisions and those who need to be told. There are a lot who need to be told.
My daughter disinvited me from her only wedding to date because I refused the Clot Shot…..family members including my wife and a brother then twisted the narrative saying it was MY fault that I was not attending…LOL
My mother, brother, sister is they that do my Father’s will.
I share your experiences and don’t really care except, they disowned me.
I look at it this way: They are all adults. When you are turned out of the “family,” you’re not neglecting anyone underage. Lift them up to God and seek His Divine Blessings upon them.
Most all of the hard core are just like your sister.
I’ve seen lefties violently triggered by simple political yard signs for “Parents’ Rights”. Lefties are a bunch of perpetually unhappy buzz-killers.
My experience as well Dutch.
write her off as dead to you !
Safe spaces are designed to shelter themselves from uncomfortable thought. What youth today value the most is the comfort of turning a device on and simply flowing it into their brains which enables them to nod in agreement with everything they see and hear.
The “woke” are not actually awake at all. Safe spaces are needed to prevent disturbing their slumber.
And yet, this in itself is a form of emptiness and once in a while they sense the emptiness. This is why people like Jordan Peterson are so popular. They provide answers to the questions they don’t even know how to ask.
There are different kinds of abuse and abusers.
Regardless if it’s spiritual, emotional, psychological, physical, etc…
People that identify with their abuser, have the most difficulty removing themselves from the abuse or seeing it, even when it’s physical.
“I bruise easily, they didn’t mean it.”
My opinion only.
“I bruise easily, they didn’t mean it.” This is called polishing s__t.
“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better.
When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity.
To assent to obvious lies is to cooperate with evil, and in some small way become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control.
I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”
~~Dr Theodore Dalrymple~~
Perhaps one of the best observers of humanity and behaviours writing today.
He is exactly right.
Yes. Great quote. Evil is banal. It seeks not power for power’s sake, but power in order to humiliate, to subjugate, to destroy truth itself. C.S. Lewis portrayed it well in Perelandra.
I must read that. Thank you for reminding me. PC is an insidious tool, never put to more devastating use than it is in these times. It is astounding to me to watch its effects, like a deadly virus, devour our whole society.
I remember the McCarthy Red Scare era, when you dared not be labelled a “pinko.” My father, a very wise Kansas farmer, understood quite well how insane it was, but could not speak of it in front of us children because we might repeat something at school. . .
I’m sure you wonder what your father would say today were he to witness how we’ve returned to those times, but worse.
Except the later declassified Verona Papers from the USSR, showed that McCarthy was right, that DC was riddled with Communist subversives, similar to the way that the CCP has infiltrated nowadays.
We already knew about Wobblies of the Depression and before. What we did not know was how subversives engineer cultural malaise. It is quite possible the McCarthy’s Red Scare helped their cause by making us fear each other . .
Turns out McCarthy was right but the jacklas pulled him down.
His methods mighty be problematic but his direction was true.
https://ryanryles.substack.com/p/joe-mccarthy-was-right-and-we-didnt
McCarthy is a RINO…as do most of them they have their moments….he was my personal Rep for 12 years when I lived in Kern Co. CA……I tried to convince my Pastor there of his unchristian-like actions as a politician but to him, the personal profession of faith was enough
I think you reference a different McCarthy. The one they speak of is long gone.
McCarthy was correct about the commies !
Yep, a cultural pestilence, that destroys minds instead of bodies.
And to protect itself from consequences of it’s many crimes and sins.
So very true. We lose respect for ourselves by going along, and thereby lose the gumption to defend ourselves when it really matters.
And in these lunatic times, I feel as if I am standing outside the perimeter of the madness that propaganda and PC has wrought. A spectator trying to understand how people who one might think would be in control of all their God given faculties have descended into an unholy psychosis.
Not just one or two here and there…whole professions and corporations. And more disturbingly, those who have assumed for themselves the absolute power to arrest, punish, financially ruin anyone who dares to disagree, completely unafraid of any judicial entity which under normal circumstances would put a quick end to it all, thus confirming they are infected with this madness as well.
A reprise of the deadly Stalinist regime? I think so.
Note there are more Left candidate yard signs and more Left candidate car stickers. What happens to our yard signs and our cars with bumper stickers? In 2016 at a Home Depot parking area my bumper was trashed right where my Trump sticker had been. Again, a form of curtailing freedom of speech.
It is, Buckskin. And I deplore it. But we are in an unsafe, maniacal world now. Dare I call it a warzone? In fact I believe that’s exactly what it is. And it is reprehensible.
Great point. I remember after Saddam Hussein took power (the infamous video arrests of political opponents in that meeting), one of the first things he did was force members of his party to serve on the firing squads and shoot the people who had only days earlier been their cohorts.
Interesting…which made me think of this from Himmler, a speech he made to his enforcers of extermination.
“You men of the Einsatzgruppen are called upon to fulfill a repulsive duty. But you are soldiers who have to carry out every order unconditionally. You have a responsibility before God and Hitler for everything that is happening. I myself hate this bloody business, and I have been moved to the depths of my soul. But I am obeying the highest law by doing my duty. Man must defend himself against bedbugs and rats, against vermin.”
I would say everything old is new again. But in fact it’s simply the same. Such is the depravity of man. Something to contemplate as we in this country have entered the period of persecution by the government of those who refuse to praise ideological orthodoxy on anything and everything.
“The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic.” –John F. Kennedy
Yet often remains unchallenged publicly, due to P.C. social doctrine.
I do not own a pair of rose coloured glasses. I recognize Kennedy was no saint.
But the older I have gotten, and the more I revisit his speeches (and quotes such as you have posted), the more I believe he was, shall we say, an inconvenience for the then hidden omnipresent entrenched evil which, even at that time, was the controlling force of the US government…as it is today. Draw your own conclusions, as I have.
Ya. Was gonna disconnect us from the Fed. Like those other dead guys.
Distance is a great way, perhaps the only way to view events… out of the forest where we can see the individual trees that much better. And the bodies keep piling up.
So you mean that the relentless assertions about “gender” isn’t anything they actually believe themselves? Say it isn’t so…
And the rest…would that I could.
And Jan 6.
So true, and this is why I will listen to NPR, and read the Washington Post and NYTimes – because it reveals their vulnerabilities.
Sometimes it leaves me a little gleeful because it’s only a matter of time before their delusional bubbles will be popped by reality.
Their arguments and assertions are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
I just read a leftist meme showing a distressed young girl. It said:
“Republicans won’t prosecute her rapist, but will force her to have the baby.”
So the tough-on-crime Republicans won’t want to prosecute a child rapist….riiiight……
That sounds more like the leftists unwilling to prosecute the thousands of “johns” who dipped their wicks at Epstein Island.
The echo chamber is the biggest weakness because a propaganda theme that is overused, diminishes it’s effectiveness.
TLDR
That is also why the crisis cycle is shorter now. It used to be they could marinate on a propaganda theme for months or longer. Uniparty talking heads would massage voters, clip their toenails, and serve up talking points for you to take to the water cooler.
Trump-Time took that away from them. They don’t get to talk about anything except for MAGA now. They would like to talk about all those old things they’ve talked about before, it’s much easier, but that means they would experience what they were experiencing before Trump-Time.
Year over year declines.
When your conditioned by identity politics, the thought of losing your POLITICAL identity is an existential threat, it’s a matter of life and death. It’s like asking them to commit suicide.
“Freedom of speech?! We are not going to commit suicide.” – Lenin
“safe space”…meet…”hate speech”.
Loaded language. My opinion only.
Just like 🧛♂️ vampires, they die when exposed to sunlight.
Truth is their toxin.
I don’t think the technocrats (and Musk is one) are for free speech.
I am also very skeptical. I smell controlled opposition more than anything else, unfortunately.
Sorry, not me.
obama is running this . and it has been more than the 5 yrs Tucker says. It is 8 from Obama +4 during Trump (not a willing participant) + 2 from JokeBiden == 14 years.
No, he is not. See my post above.
I am rooting for Elon Musk.
He is throwing sand in the machine.
Good for him.
Having been part of an advance team during corporate ownership transitions, the Musk’s offer to buy, no not buy, OK now buy, I think was a strategy to buy time to establish operatives inside Twitter to minimize risk when the transaction takes place. Think back over the months this Musk takeover of Twitter has been discussed. More than enough time to identify those employees who need to go day one to prevent risk to the future company. That is exactly how the group I worked with had gotten deep inside the targeted companies. We had people established in nearly every area of the company well before the actual transition. Would guess something similar is happening here.
What type of risk are you thinking of here?
Just a guess but technology jams
Be careful who you root for.
Oh, I am sure Elon was told to get in line. Can you hear me Major Musk, can you hear me? Nice space rockets you have there Rocket man. Shame if one of them goes off track and explodes over a Red State.
HAL is all knowing. HAL can take Elon off earthly life support.
Even if Trump wins, does he have the ruthlessness needed to deconstruct the deep state or is he going to put Soy Boy Jared in charge of the Task?
Space Force vs Musk. My bet’s on Space Force. Space Force is what allows Musk to have Starlink.
Dr. Robert Malone is not too keen on Musk purchasing twitter:
So, why does Elon Musk want Twitter so badly? Is it because he is such a big free speech advocate, that he wants to “save the world, ” save us all from BIG TECH?
Why does Elon Musk care so much about the number of bot accounts? Is it because he truly wants to ferret out foreign influences?
Why does Elon Musk want to reverse the bans on people’s accounts? Is it because he really cares about scientists, and conservatives ability to interact on the social media app?
The answer of course, is no to all these questions.
“We” are being manipulated into the vision of Elon being the free speech shield-bearer – but what has Musk revealed recently as to his true motivations for wanting Twitter.
Musk’s vision for Twitter is “one stop shopping.” E-commerce. He intends to bring social media, banking, auto loans, Amazon type buying, insurance, paying loans and utility bills, medical insurance, service estimates, you name it- under the umbrella of Twitter. Everything you do, buy, need – could be bought on the Twitter website. This is about power and money.

As Sundance has said many times, the business model of Twitter cannot be profitable. If Musk sees a platform that can both be a platform for free speech and monetized through ads or retail rather than selling our habits to others, then it might just work.
Musk wants Twitter as a launch vehicle for his “Everything App” that interconnects every user into the ether….think Suckerberg’s Metaverse on steroids
But, “Sickerbergs Metaverse” is a FLOP, he has lost Billions.
I am hoping that is EVERY effort to integrate humans and technology….new article out yesterday about wireless communication through the brain stem to the neurons in your brain
Musk’s Neuralink chip is still out there.
Never trust a guy that looks like a Roman statue. Anytime I see him in print or video he is unsettling to me, especially his eyes.
Because he let soyboy the former data scientist from Uber do the interviews for hire. He did not know crap in a handbag about 3D, skillsets, how to create compelling avatars, why VR Chat and Second Life are a joke. The whole thing was doomed from the go from shoddy hiring practices.
aka a social credit score app
He says he wants it to be a platform for free speech. I do not believe him.
I do, but time will tell.
Yep. The cheer squad here needs to do some research.
Some of ‘the cheer squad’ here is good at spotting trolls.
That would not be me – me thinks you have been smoking too much hopium.
.
Yes. I love a shakeup, but beware the psyops, the creation of an “issue” where in the big picture, one may not exist. Musk will do what is good for him.
E.g. His donation of Starlink rendered Ukraine dependent upon it… and he didn’t first go to U.S. or E.U. or Ukraine and say: hey I can get this up immediately for you but you’ve got to make arrangements if you want to keep it after 60 days — yes or no? No… he did the wonderful charity thing and now has an extortion vehicle of enormous power.
I have the same concern about twitter. Musk is the world’s greatest recipient of government welfare and largesse, and “private-public partnership”. SpaceX, e.g. He will cut deals with Jack Brown’s coffee supplier.
Meanwhile, the big to-do over free speech is great marketing to the grateful masses who will now trust all things Musk and twitter and flock to it?
Caution. I for one am not buying a Tesla, and I’m not going to live on twitter.
I am not saying that he’s ill-intentioned. I am not saying that he’s well-intentioned. Musk will do what is good for Musk and what he thinks might be cool. I like some of his ideas — such as peace already in Ukraine. I very much dislike others. He did not become the world’s richest man by not thinking things through.

Tesla batteries in Florida don’t do well in flooded areas. Fire departments are expending many man-hours trying to put out these engine fires. The sophisticated electronics and computer would need replacement. Not sure how insurance companies will handle the very expensive repairs on these vehicles.
The lifespan of Tesla batteries is not that long and costs an arm, leg, and firstborn to replace. Tesla is an environmental hazard when it reaches the scrapyard.
You are better off buying a gas guzzler than owning a virtue-signaling money-pit electric car.
And where does the electricity come from to power all these electric cars? That’s certainly not “clean” energy, either! Not to mention our electric grids are stretched to the max already, without all those electric cars in the mix.
People who *still* believe this is all about the environment, just aren’t paying attention.
What percentage of the internet machine is even real?
How much reality / truth does social media actually contain?
If a person (Musk) can find a way to ‘separate the wheat from the chaff’ power and money will follow.
The question that should be asked is: what will the by-product be? 🤔
Musk also likely knows that Twitter is funded by the CIA and others in government. He has always sucked at the taxpayer’s teat.
While I think the leftist’s losing their echo chamber is useful, in reality the whole thing should be incinerated.
Remember, Musk started his way to the world’s richest man by starting X.com which was later renamed PayPal.
And how is PayPal working to ensure Free Speech these days?
Absolute Power corrupts absolutely.
Musk doesn’t own paypal. He got his first big batch of eff you money from selling it. I still can’t find that huge grant of outright billions he was given without lifting a finger if I am to believe the tell I hear around here. I think he has gotten tax breaks for doing the battery tech thing. I don’t know if that is any different than giving a chip company 10 billion in tax breaks to set up shop in Arizona. The US relies on advanced tech to remain a leader in technology and float what is left of the economy.
What makes America Great, ”’Free Speech”’. The ability to criticize government out load and in the open. And having the second to back it up, is a big help.
Cultural Marxists are wild boar hogs and we know what they do with wild boar hogs, there are bounties on them. Twist those words commies.
Tucker is on the dime. Spent two hours tonight watching Truth Stream Media re the coronation of Prince Charles the III tonight versus the documentary “The Real Doctor Fauci. I watched the former and it left me feeling wounded. What a world we live in.
I have learned from from many teachers in my lifetime, we all chose to live here in these times. I agree. But sometimes I cannot believe I signed up to experience all of this SHIT. It’s almost too much these days. But “let not the sun go down on your your anger.” My favorite quote from my friend and mentor. CA Fitts. She recommended this as a site for “news.” But Ive been here and done that for years. God/dess bless each and everyone of us.
Retired IG
You wrote, “we all chose to live here in these times. I agree.”
No, according to the Word, “thou art my God, my times are in Your Hands”
He chooses, not us. He’ll also equip us. God bless.
She got that quote is from the Bible.
That is correct. Ephesians 4:26-27.
To Domino24
Psalms 31:14-15
Thou art my God.
15My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
The only time I even glace at Twitter is if it is through a trusted source/link for important subject matter or by accident. And even then unregistered persons only see a few seconds of content.
The whole platform seems counter intuitive. A minimalist method of influencing opinion that has to stay within the parameters of activist ideologues.
I know sometimes some need to infiltrate and speak in oblique ways, but it’s always with big brother watching.
.
I used to go over to twitter to read Trump. And then I would read the immediate barrage of bots and flamers, and my stomach would start to turn. I stopped.
Then there’s the libel and garbage that gets amplified by the leftist media.
“CESSPOOL” describes it perfectly.
.
It absolutely is toxic over there. I have only been there through links from here and other sites that I read. And I always leave within minutes with “this place is toxic” in my head.
It’s a playground for every C0mmunist and F@scist on Earth, unfortunately. Pandora’s box.
My opinion? This all started when Americans started ditching the mainstream broadcast News in favor of internet sources … such as the old Drudge Report. Suddenly, the legacy media could no longer control the flow of information. The legacy media were in trouble … big trouble. And the people got to learn about candidate Donald J Trump.
This attack on Free Speech, via ridiculous Anti-American concepts such as “hate speech” and “misinformation”. These are, of course, ridiculous … but that’s just how desperate the so-called “elites” have become. They are desperate to regain control of the flow of information. The idea of the internet … being a platform for free and unfettered information is now just a quaint idea. We must never allow controlled speech … ever
The BEST thing Tucker did tonight was give DOUG MASTRIANO a platform. What the Republican Governors Association (I’m sure in collusion with the @GOP E) has done to him is criminal.
By REFUSING to fund Doug, they are supporting Shapiro who oversaw ALL OF THE ELECTION FRAUD IN PA IN 2020. The GOP seems to be PRO ELECTION FRAUD. Perhaps the RGA was colluding with Shapiro in the RED PRECINCTS.
Just so.
SW PA here..we never hear a word from Doug Mastriano here..Only Josh Shapiro. Doug’s a good guy, he appeared a lot with Wendy Bell. The media is making him out to be a lunatic..and Shapiro to be a saint. Fetterman is another story. I commented in the Post Gazette that The Dems couldn’t have picked a worse candidate to represent PA in the US Senate..thought I’d get a lot of push back..I got none.
Pair that with the recent party – line ( 5 – 2 Democrat) ruling of the SCOPA to uphold PA’s mail – in voting in defiance of the Commonwealth’s constitution. The GOP controls both houses of the state legislature and will not lift a finger to challenge this ruling.
Be a conservative in service to the restoration and conservation of the republic. Not a Republican. Republicans may be the conservatives worst enemy as they appear to be friendlies.
Of course the GOP(e) is pro election fraud. They participated in it in multiple states in the last election, and g-d knows how many elections before. Georgia’s Raffensperger and governor whatshisface are almost certainly fraudulant….either one or both.
Yahweh willing may we survive.
Sundance & every other treeper I pray for all our souls.
Amen
AMEN TO THAT
Yahweh has other plans for us. I am not part of his covenant, thank you very much.
Tucker NAILED it.
“If the situation were hopeless the propaganda would not be necessary”
Elon was here.
Thanks for the laugh 🙂
One wonders if Elon gifted StarLink to the U.S. government in exchange for a clear path to ownership of Twatter.
Quid pro Quo.
That’s an interesting thought.
I do think they cooled their investigations into his acquisition of Twitter immediately after the announcement
No.
Evil is just the purported absence of good. The word Good comes from the Greek word God.
Hell or the eternal “Lake of Fire” is the permanent separation from God or all that is good along with your merited punishment
I’ve been banned from fantasy football sites for supporting PDJT.
Was told that yeah free speech has consequences.
Screw em
I’ve been banned from 2 car sites for bashing the Covid vaccinations.
I was told the same thing about the consequences of speech.
That’s OK
I think they are facing worse consequences for their uninformed choices lol
😀
Do we live in a post-Constitutional period?
Perhaps all the crazy, unlawful, criminal, deadly and unconstitutional “stuff” that seems to happen at the hands of establishment state and federal government and keeps exponentially growing in frequency every day is just a giant Red Suppository for the not yet awake?
Tucker was on the money.
Read the Constitution, then read the oath taken by our elected representatives. Then look at the past 100+ years of violations, paying closest attention to the acts of the past 20, and the refusal of the elite to admit violations; discussing the obvious failures of the elected elite is not only rare, it is actively punished.
How is voting harder to correct that path, please?
What methods of protest are effective?
Is a grassroots, local voting strategy to be successful – picking the best candidate for county Commissioner from a field of unknowns to make decisions on unknown budget items for your town of 75,000 is akin to rubbing vinegar on your toenail to improve digestion. They have us by the short hairs and despite any possible change in power balance in November the underlying rot remains.
I don’t have a publicly viewable answer either, but I do know the path we are on and I understand the inertia to be overcome.
The poet Rumi -Turkey in 1273 a.d. – Third Book of Masnavi: “Fish begins to stink at the head, not the tail.” Meaning: mass corruption at the common level is due to endemic corruption at the top of the society. Marx favored a proletarian dictatorship as the government to rule over the “classless” society. It took George Orwell to make it clear that the dictatorship of the proletariat would be ruthlessly overseen by a dictatorship of former proletarians. That is where we are with both political parties. Trump is a pariah because he favors free elections and free choice over the growing entanglements of Federal Government rules and mandates. “The first part of wisdom is to know what is true; the second, to discern what is false.” The purpose of uni-party dictatorship is to control the proletariat. Mitch McConnell is not a lick different from Adam Schiff. They are scavengers of a different feather who feed off the same Washington D. C. road kill. The road kill is us. The biggest pipeline available to tap and siphon off an enormous flow of money runs from the U.S.Treasury. That is what D.C. has become: the land for getting your cut of the action as trillions gush through the pipelines. “Cosa nostra”: our thing. Don’t mess with the piece-of-the-action vigorish.
We agree, and thank you for the reference of “…stink at the head” as well.
Now, what do we do about it?
Essentially, we have a one party system of professional politicians who divide between being Republican or Democrat. This raises the point that representative democracy has been cooperated. The only answer is a “third” party which rises from the ground while simultaneously drawing likeminded Democrats and Republicans away from their tribal traditions. Either the nation has the stomach for it or we fail and fall. “Moderates” or “Centrists” will always be the most resistant to realignment. The MAGA crowd is more than large enough in size to draw in enough “moderates” to tip the balance. Trump is not the typical populist who is propelled by charisma or selling taffy pulls and welfare magic. In fact, he is anti-charisma. He is Moxie personified and anyone who has ever tasted Moxie knows what a rancid drink it is. Love him or hate him, Trump is a Constitutionalist. No revision, no pie in the sky puffery…….just pure hard work and competition under the umbrella of the Constitution. Actually, when you ask “now, what do WE do about it” indicates that you appear to be an observer rather than a player. On the other hand, if “we” actually does mean a commitment on your part, then welcome aboard. If Trump does not run, then we have a real problem on our hands. Trump made parasitic hedge fund managers, smarmy lobbyists and professional politicians into a full carnival of side show sleazes. He punctured the jugular of the District of Columbia. Cruz, Rubio, Pence, Miss Lindsey Graham, Paul Ryan, Mitch, etc are all carnies selling wolf tickets. The Doctor of Democracy, Rush Limbaugh, never fell for their clap-trap and neither should any Constitution-based American. The government is not the source of either our power or our redemption. Jonathan Swift, “Thoughts on Various Subjects, Moral and Diverting” — “ “When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.”
We are in agreement.
This man has done an excellent job of researching and dissecting Cultural Marxism.

Never cede language.
Never allow the left to shame you over your own well thought out convictions.
Right now speech is the battlefield.
At 4:50 embedded in the CNN reporting on Starlink in Ukraine, Dimitry Alperovich makes an appearance.
Dimitry of Crowdstrike, but also fellow of the Belfer Center Defending Digital Democracy Project, a “ticket” issuing stakeholder of the Election Integrity Partnership between Stanford Internet Observatory, University of Washington, Homeland Security, CISA, and big social platforms including Twitter, and Facebook. Ticket issuers could flag accounts for throttling in the lead up to the 2020 election.
Others to watch for in media reporting: Michael McFaul (Stanford Freeman Spogli Institute), Robby Mook, (Belfer D3P fellow), Alex Stamos (Stanford Internet Observatory).
“… speech the leftists disagree with, they label as ‘violence’. However, actual violence that supports the leftist agenda is labeled as speech. Cultural Marxism is the twisting of words and control of language…”
brilliantly phrased!!
In an open and honest discussion of ideas, democrats always lose.
THIS IS WHAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE TALKING ABOUT!!!! Please spread this to everyone, watch it, share it. The CDC votes today and you still have time to submit comments. Please, Please do this – our childrens’ lives are literally at stake. It has to be stopped. THEY have to be stopped. Time’s up.

The CDC is irrelevant…they are another Blackrock, that think their word is the be all/end all. NOT.
Surely, you jest.
Is there a deadline for this acquisition to actually take place?
Censorship is cowardice.
You don’t utilize censorship if you’re confident in your position.
Their power IS slipping away.
Ever imagine a world where there were no longer “left” platforms to spread the globalists’ cancer? Oh me, oh my, where will the Karens and unemployables go to express their culture of hate and global destruction?
“We’re getting so close to the midterms; quick, gotta make a move that keeps people on the edge of their seats…until November 9th,” said some deep state actor.

Musk’s Dangerous Vision for Twitter
It is not what you think it is…
Robert W Malone MD, MS
Oct 16, 2022
https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/musks-dangerous-vision-for-twitter
So, why does Elon Musk want Twitter so badly? Is it because he is such a big free speech advocate, that he wants to “save the world, ” save us all from BIG TECH?
Why does Elon Musk care so much about the number of bot accounts? Is it because he truly wants to ferret out foreign influences?
Why does Elon Musk want to reverse the bans on people’s accounts? Is it because he really cares about scientists, and conservatives ability to interact on the social media app?
The answer of course, is no to all these questions.
“We” are being manipulated into the vision of Elon being the free speech shield-bearer – but what has Musk revealed recently as to his true motivations for wanting Twitter.
Musk’s vision for Twitter is “one stop shopping.” E-commerce. He intends to bring social media, banking, auto loans, Amazon type buying, insurance, paying loans and utility bills, medical insurance, service estimates, you name it- under the umbrella of Twitter. Everything you do, buy, need – could be bought on the Twitter website. This is about power and money.
Why does he care about bot accounts? Because what he is buying is access to you, to me, to each and everyone of us on Twitter now or on Twitter in the future. He wants to know the exact number of warm bodies to sell to his investors. Remember – with the purchase of Twitter, he will have a client base maybe in the billions – before he even launches a single product! That client base includes some of the most influential, wealthy and educated people on the planet.
So, why is this such a bad thing?
Let’s go back to free speech.
Musks’s vision is no different from ALL the other OWNERS of medial outlets of every type. It is also the driving force behind integration of media types and sources by the OWNERS.
Jeff Bezos, Zuckerberg, China Inc. , the US Government 4th Branch, et al….
I agree. Media has always been controlled by those controlling the printing presses, broadcast bandwidth, priting paper distribution.
The WWW changed that, giving anyone and everyone a means to be heard. That is why “they” had to control it too. The gained that control by building monopolies for the apps (Facebook, Twitter etc) and by building monopolies for the platforms that the apps are run and distributed on (Android, iOS, Windows).
The one aspect not covered by Tucker is the commercial or money aspect of Cultural Marxism.
The “commercial end” of cultural Marxism or the reason Rich Elite finance it and capitalize it is that Cultural Marxism “corrals” and forces the customers into the designated product choices owned by the Financial Elite and enabled by the Political Elite via the regulations passed to add the corral fencing to keep the customers in one place..
For the Financial Elite, cultural Marxism is a means to actually attempt to define the “products and market places”.
All this talk of Musk heroically risking his wealth to champion the little people’s right to free speech is bullshit.
Are we really supposed to believe that the thousands of treasonous scum running twitter, since being rewarded with millions in dolled out stock options are going to let all that go .
I suspect the mantra at the twitter water cooler shifted from Fxxx Trump to Fxxx Musk.
If he doesn’t capitulate to them they will easily frame him.
We already have a platform up and running that affords us the avenue for free speech.
In all these Musk/twitter reports have you ever heard the alternative mentioned?
NO YOU HAVE NOT.
Do you wonder why?
It is because the real threat available must be stopped.
Every time the alternative platform achieves a mile stone ,or any type of success ,the Fake News Barrages the media with false disparaging fake misinformation.
There is almost a total blackout of anything positive ever being reported about TRUTH SOCIAL.
At all cost Truth Social must be crushed .
Wake up people and sign up.
It is the least you can do.
It is free for God’s sake.
Twitter is a dangerous monopoly. That will not change by bringing a new boss. It cannot be challenged because, as the globalists’ propaganda outlet, it has virtually unlimited capital available. It must be broken up. That requires anti-trust action.
Telegram, Gab, Parler, Truth Social, Discord all prove it is not a monopoly.
I wish Tucker would do a multi-part series on Cultural Marxism exploring its history and the academic originators like Erich Fromm, Theodore Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Herbert Marcuse, Antonio Gramsci and others who brought this garbage to America beginning 70-80 years ago. Explain the concept of cultural hegemony and “the long march through the institutions”. Put faces to the names that influenced the current crop of communists, marxists and socialists that are running this country into the ground.
Cultural Marxism is the Left’s response to the utter failure of Economic Marxism. The latter posited that there were only two factors of human production: Capitalists and Workers. During the period of 1950 to 1930 it became clear to all in Western civilization that workers were getting houses, cars, refrigerators and were becoming middle class. So that idea was a lost cause.
Cultural Marxists, with Gramsci in the lead along with the Frankfurt Schule adherents realized that destroying all of the West institutions from the family to the educational system was far more likely to succeed, and that is where we are today. You can add the WEF to that list of Cultural Marxists. The war on fossil fuels is all part of the plan as is the mass migration of people from failed third world countries with the ones from Islamic countries being the most dangerous as they do not assimilate.
Trump, DeSantis, Lake and a few other Republicans get part or most of this. Most of the rest of the GOP are utterly clueless. The Democrats along with the Left in all of the Western countries understand Cultural Marxism very well and with the exception perhaps of a Tulsi Gabbard or two are behind it 100%.
We have a long battle ahead of us.
Indeed we cannot fight an enemy we are unable or unwilling to call out.
This is an ages-old battle with an eternal evil. Those who control all money are those who finance and prop up these cultural marxists, communists, fascist, monopolists on a global scale. They own all of those who disguise it, implement it, and propagandize it.
This is far beyond(D) (R) or any political structure. We face the end of liberty. To borrow from Plato, as we go forward, there are but two kinds of citizens, natural slaves and freemen.
May God have mercy on us and give us the strength to face and confront this evil.
Perfect summation, however I disagree with you on 1 point. “Most of the rest of the GOP are utterly clueless.” I don’t think so. They are *complicit*, not clueless. They know exactly whats going on, and why. They go on TV and pretend they don’t, but they do. They simply don’t have to guts to withstand the media onslaught and ridicule they would be mercilessly subjected to if they called Democrat House and Senate members Communists, Socialists and Marxists to their faces and then provide requisite examples of those ideologies being advocated and advanced by them. Kari Lake provided the perfect template for exposing the lefts bullshit the other day when she called out the media *to their faces* on not only the media’s hypocrisy over “election deniers”, but the Democrats hypocrisy as well. You are a hypocrite….and here’s why. BOOM! We need more of that. Lots more. My .02 anyway. I think you are spot on with the cultural marxism take. Something is very wrong with this country. Most people can sense it, but they cannot give it a name because they have never heard of the Frankfurt School nor any of the people I named in the post above….but you can bet your ass that Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders and other elected and un-elected bureaucrats know exactly who the founders of cultural marxism were. All the color would drain out of Pete Buttigieg’s face if someone were to ask him who Antonio Gramsci was. Pete’s father was president of the International Gramsci Society. The U.S. Secretary of Transportation’s father was a life long disciple of an Italian Marxist. And people wonder why Mayor Pete is so F’d up.
Why does Tucker Carlson even have to expound on the virtues of our Constitution and the 1st Amendment? Are most people so ignorant that they can’t even remember the 1st Amendment to our Constitution?
The solution is to get rid of Government Labor Unions and cancelling the Public School Teachers Unions. Nobody should be armed for collective bargaining when their supposed management adversary is being paid with the same taxpayer dollars as they are. This is exactly like two wolves and a sheep discussing what to have for dinner. Maybe then we can return to actual education in our K-12 environment and that would include study of our own Constitution.
We also have to eliminate the entire Education department because the Federal Government should stay the hell out of our education system. Education should be controlled at the Local County level, period. Taxes for education at the State levels should always be divided equally according to school populations in every county in the State. The States should have no other involvement.
In other words, don’t let Big Government keep expanding to no good end.
I am of the conviction that we cannot reform this wholly corrupt federal system. Its power has been garnered without consent and it will not willingly be returned. A model of self-governance is the only path back to liberty. Organized nullification of illegal/unconstitutional federal power drivenat the state and county level seems to be what we have left.
Maybe Tucker should discuss why Musk is aligned with the WEF digital brain chip, with his Neuralink chip. Musk is not a ‘good guy’.
AMEN!!!
STOP! STOP depending on Twitter and Elon Musk for free speech. Twitter is a dumpster fire of left-wing, temper tantrum-throwing Karens whose parents should have never been allowed to pro-create. Elon Musk is a corporate welfare queen who has made billions of the climate change/green energy hoax on the backs of American Taxpayers. He is no better than the Obama’s, Clintons, Bidens. And ELON lies about everything and he is a fraudster. He will not be sole owner of Twitter. AGAIN: He will not be sole owner of Twitter – there are about 13 other investors that he will have to account to. He has five other companies to run that are not doing well financially – Tesla has lost extreme amount of value over the past year and that is where all of Musk’s wealth is tied. QUIT QUIT depending on Twitter and Elon Musk for free speech. STOP.
Nobody is depending on Musk for free speech, but if he actually pulls it off and turns Twitter into a free speech platform, he is a legitimate hero, regardless of anything else he does. That’s not even debatable.
“Reforming” Twitter will do nothing to stop the globalist control of digital propaganda and censorship. Nothing. A new one will pop up magically overnight.
Unless Musk moves Twitter software into open source, ensures a true open standard for social data exchange between apps, and, busts up the Android/Apple control of app distribution, he is just a new boss, same as old boss.
So we should just give up because Elon Musk is not a hard core religious conservative or because the government is still going to do everything in their power to censor us?
So what if his motivation is profits. Who among us isn’t chasing profits? Very few people go to work every day because they love their job. They go to work because they want and need money.
My basic point is that freedom of speech in the digital realm requires open source and open standards.
So, to do this Musk’s first steps toward free speech on the WWW, would be open sourcing Twitter, building open standards to allow free-market competition, and using the weight of Twitter to roadblock the platform monopolies held by Android and Apple.
That can all be done and still be profitable. Could Twitter really compete on a level playing field without government protection and unlimited capital?
Well, if he doesn’t do it the way you want him to, then don’t use Twitter. Problem solved. Truth and Rumble are free.
Amen. Right on. Love it!
Rumble is. You cannot talk vaccine deaths or criticze Balfouristan on Truth..so there is that for everybody claimng Truth Social is censorship free. It ain’t.
No application is free. You pay with loss of data and privacy. You become their product to sell.
He is going to move he software to open source. You can play at the I am doomed and have no agency in this world all you want. But why the insistence as so many others around here that we just roll over and croak? I hope he kicks the jerks right in the gazongas. If he doesn’t I will go watch some UFC or animal videos and get on with my life like always. I ignore the idiots, especially the ones who think they are in charge. They aren’t even in charge of themselves.
I strongly suggest you do some real research on Elon Musk because your statement above shows how MASSIVELY UNINFORMED you are of the snake oil salesman Musk.
I don’t give a rat’s ass about Tesla or any of his other businesses. I’m simply talking about actual free speech on Twitter, which obviously doesn’t exist right now. To me, that’s a thousand times more important than his other companies. Also, I’m done with these purity tests. Obviously none of us are perfect and I don’t feel that I have to agree with everything someone says or does to support them on the things I care most about.
Why bother with a company that is full of left-wing, temper tantrum throwing Karens whose parents should have not been allowed to procreate. Drop it – move on – Don’t use Twitter is is garbabe.
I’ve never had a twitter account in my life but some people still like it and they should be allowed to say what they want on that platform without being cancelled.
Just FTR, my go to social media sites are Truth and Rumble. I got kicked off my youtube channel for pushing back on their BS propaganda about covid and politics and I have never had a twitter account.
It is not a purity test. It is a litmus test to his true motive.
Let’s say AT&T offered you free cellphone service if you would agree, in return, to allow them to monitor all your calls, censored your phone conversations, and only allow you to call/text other AT&T customers. Would you take it?
If you took it, and they censored your calls or disconnected your phone service over what you said, would you then scream about the first Amendment? You might decide to pay for phone service and move to T-Mobile or Verizon.
What then if the government aligned with AT&T to force T-M0bile and Verizon out of business so AT&T could control and monitor all phone calls and texts?
Would you then cheer on Elon Musk buying into AT&T with the hope that AT&T would be more fair or benevolent in its censorship? Or would you point the blame at the government that made AT&T into the phone monopoly?
Who cares what his motive is if he fixes the problem? Nobody has to have a twitter account if they don’t want one.
He does not plan to fix what his handlers consider the major feature.
But Musk will be responsible for Twitter – the fact that he is a liar and a fraud should matter immensely.
The first 20 comments at least on youtube were bots praising it in the flowery terms that bots do. If it was truly a grass roots expose it would not need the artificial boost. Do your research.
Agree! No one seems to ask how a half a century of US technology and intellectual property fell into Musk’s’ lap. Decades of development history from hundreds of high tech engineering are at his disposal – yet there is no history of him developing or funding any of it.
Check this out:
Thank you! This is the stuff that more people need to understand before they jump on Musk’s wagon
Check out the “love it” bot comments clogging the upper half of the comments. It is like he is a brave and stunning film-maker if ya get my drift and the AI chatbots agree. True grass root exposes do not need artificial boosting.
He’s right. If our government and all the European governments cared about Ukrainians, they would be doing everything they can to make peace. Instead, they’re funding the slaughter with our money and it disgusts me. And I’m not about to let the GOP off the hook either. They are just as disgusting as the DNC on this one. I’m glad I left the GOP and became an independent. TBH, I’m 100% MAGA right now. And the more they attack MAGA, the more hard core MAGA I become because MAGA is the only anti war party right now and I’m sick of the forever wars that have no benefit whatsoever for regular Americans. The real war is us vs the federal government who obviously hates out guts.
It isn’t just the left that does this. I would describe this less as cultural marxisum and more of a propaganda trend in BOTH sides playing the social political democracy game.
The variable being both sides want to deny that with vigor.
Not on Twitter. The right is massively outnumbered by the communist bots on that disgusting site.
The problem is, like a cancer, deeper than what can be seen on the surface.
Corporations are created by government action, but government cannot give a corporation powers and authorities that the government did not, itself, possess.
If government is forbidden to censor your opinions, no corporation created by government can have this power, either.
America is now under the model of neo-fascism or public-private partnerships if you prefer that term.
Twitter can simply censor or “cancel” users because that is what users agree to that when they click “I Agree” in order to get the free digital services provided by Twitter.
In return for Twitter doing the bidding of the political class, governments provide regulatory, legislative, judicial and financial protections that Twitter needs to eliminate free market competition worldwide.
The coddled left, unable to control the narrative, will have trouble surviving outside of an echo chamber. Their houses are built on foundations of sand.

Oh wait !! … but if you cite the PROVEN HARMS caused by a government mandated vaccine … during an “EMERGENCY” … then your constitutional protections go out the window. In a word … WRONG. That’s really WRONG and cynical to EVER remove all argument and evidence contrary to a government narrative.
Everyone assumes that musk is going to be a champion of free speech but I am not so sure. I am suspicious of someone who came out of nowhere and doing huge deals over a period of time with the US government and put in a position that requires a lot of secret work cooperation. I don’t expect that someone like that is not on the inside.
Also, I doubt that the intelligence community that de facto runs Twitter would let musk control it unless it was more suitable for the intelligence community. After all Musk has already been given SpaceX and Starlink which are very important to the intelligence and defense community.

I don’t understand. If the left lose control of twitter, can’t they just build a new one. /s
It’s 1984 all over again…
Elon Musk simply is returning the Internet to what it was supposed to be, before the Deep State, the NeoConLiberals and Globalists co-opted it with the carrot of “social media”… to control millions of people via their narcissism.. people unaware that there is nothing for free and they were giving up their privacy and freedom.
The Cultural Left is now seeing their “progress” towards totalitarian fascism over the last 15 years being washed away by the simple act of making one of the largest social media forums truly “Free”.
However, given how the Feds are actively subsidizing the costs of Twitter’s operations, one has to wonder what will happen there. Will the feds keep doing it? Realizing they are still getting their money’s worth of information on individuals… Indeed, a “free” twitter that allows people to truly speak out their minds will be far more valuable to the Intelligence Community than a fascist, locked down forum.
Up until now, the interests of the Deep State, The Progressive Left and the Globalist/Banker money men have converged… but now we can see a divergence between the Progressive Left and the Deep State.
I’d figure the Money People will take the side of the Deep State.
We do live in interesting times.
Whatever happens, though, be very careful of putting up too much information on a forum like Twitter, Facebook, etc….
God bless Elon Musk. It is very strange that all the con media podcasts, TV, ignore Elon Musk when he is fighting for liberty. What is wrong with them? Good on Tucker for doing it, of course it makes the left hate him more. They are fascists, they must be drive out of congress. God bless and protect Elon Musk.
amen.
