CTH has not visited the various Twitter stories recently, quite frankly because we are ambivalent to them. It just seems illogical for Elon Musk to have purchased Twitter without any idea of what was happening inside Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop, the public-private partnership that structures the operations of the social media company known as Twitter.
That said, some interesting developments recently as media rail against the platform and organized ultra-leftist groups demand advertising boycotts. Apparently, Apple and Android are threatening to remove the Twitter App and Mr. Musk is doubling down on exposing the matrix of how the U.S. government was working with Twitter toward controlling speech that was against their interests.
This tweet about releasing internal “files” on “speech suppression” follow on the heels of Mr. Musk noting that government involvement in the blocking of speech is very troubling.
It’s not a secret that FBI and U.S. Dept of Homeland Security offices were in partnership with Twitter. Much has been written about how DHS collaborated with the platform on the definitions and removals of material adverse to their interests.
When Musk uses the word “files” he is probably referencing a set of guidelines from the U.S. government to Twitter for content enforcement.
We see a lot of shocked faces around this as if people are only just discovering the issue. The general ‘surprise‘ seems rather weird.
It is worth remembering when Twitter became a tool of the U.S. government. It was back during the 2011 ‘Arab Spring’, specifically the events in Egypt, when members from the Obama administration first solicited Jack Dorsey (Twitter) and Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook) for help.
The U.S. State Dept goal was to use these social media platforms as a way for citizens in Egypt and Libya to organize when the government was trying to put down protests. President Obama wanted to assist the Muslim Brotherhood achieve the goal of removing Hosni Mubarak and Muammar Khaddaffi respectively.
Twitter and Facebook were instrumental in the organization of the protests which were then compromised by the more extreme political elements of political Islam from within the organization of the Muslim Brotherhood. The relationship between the government and social media grew from there.
While the middle east uprisings were essentially the Beta test, everything in the relationship between govt and those companies evolved toward domestic use in the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Missouri.
Twitter and Facebook began promoting the “Hands Up Don’t Shoot” nonsense that was created for national media consumption by the Black Lives Matter group. … and from that moment the public-private partnership was off to the races.
Fast forward a decade, and yes, now DHS is focused on domestic extremism as the greatest public threat. Again, controlling speech that runs counter to the interest of government is part of a continuum of the same relationship.
It will be interesting to see what’s in the files.
Good point.
Truth Social is allowed on their App Store, which means it isn’t about President Trump or content moderation. It’s about trying to bring you under control and make you submit to the lefts demands like the previous owners of Twitter did.
What if?
What if suddenly the Deep State realized that kicking 90 million people from Twitter and other platforms wasn’t a good idea.
The Deep State knows that we will never trust them.
They need a savior. A wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Someone that can gain the trust of the wary.
They need all the sheeple in the “town square “. For what reason? What’s coming? What’s planned?
Who are the real creators of StarLink? Sure looks like something the MIC would have invented.
A TRUE World Wide Web. A system that can watch and track even in the remotest mountains in the Himalayas or under the thickest canopies in the jungles.
All the people need is nanotechnology inserted in them to track them day and night.
DeepState:
“ The People won’t fall for that, They need to be conditioned first. “ Then we’ll scare them, Induce fear, Create mass psychosis, Use military psyops and propaganda. We’ll call it Covid 19.
Who would wear a satanic costume with a baphomet and pentagram on it?
Was it a costume or a uniform?
What’s the government getting ready to do? Getting ready to force? They need a voice on a platform that can convince the People to go along.
A wolf in sheep’s clothing is still a wolf.
LOL, the thought has crossed my mind too
I lean in the direction you are outlining.
There are a few intelligent people in the intelligence community.
I can “ wait and see”…
However, I am inclined to believe we are being manipulated.
The Deep State doesn’t “realize” anything “suddenly.”
Every plan they have is long-term.
Just sayin’.
Didn’t they do all kinds of computer facsimiles of every possible outcome? And people left terribly upset after the show?
5th Column infiltrators working for the enemy. Sun Tzu – Chapter 13: There are five types of infiltrators-spies being implemented at the same time. The surviving spies reveal the doomed spies in order to solidify their professed allegiance to their enemy who will then grant them top positions within the Commanding Heights. Doomed malevolent infiltrators. Benevolent infiltrators who survive in order to continue to operate secretly but it must be obvious that the malevolent group is the only threat . . .
Here is where the doomed malevolent Harlot system will be then superseded by a ‘great reset’ that will place a seemingly benevolent group in its place . . .
“The Beast and the Ten Horns you saw will hate the Harlot. They will make her desolate and stripped bare; consume her flesh and burn her with fire.” ~ APOKALYPSIS 17.16
” . . . the use of spies, of whom there are five classes: (1) Local spies; (2) inward spies; (3) converted spies; (4) doomed spies; (5) surviving spies. When these five kinds of spy are all at work, none can discover the secret system. This is called “divine manipulation of the threads.” It is the sovereign’s most precious faculty.” – Read more here: https://suntzusaid.com/book/13

They claim China is the enemy yet they quote Sun Tzu, and they use music to appeal to peoples emotions, but without patriotism, or reason. If you asked any of those recruits WHY, they’d fall apart and Sun Tzu would eat them alive if he was living. If you don’t know why you kill, or destroy. You’re not a soldier, you’re just another murderer.
Called that from the beginning to great opposition. IMO Musk is a Branch 4 shill, little different from those set up to mislead and betray us surrounding the steal of the 2020 election from PDJT. All the hopium, all the Q, all the ‘just wait’.
Follow the money. It’s a big game and the players have deep pockets.
Elon Musk is one of the most brilliant men alive and luckily for those of us who care about free speech he is also one of the most courageous.
I’m sure that Musk knew what he was getting into when he bought Twitter. Musk knew that twitter received its marching orders from the U.S. intelligence state and he had to know that he was in for the battle of his lifetime. What was it that Chuck Schumer said? “When you take on intelligence community they have six ways to Sunday to get back at you”.
I also believe that Musk is smart enough to know that Jack Dorsey’s free coffee shop business model was not sustainable which is why his first order of business was to shed 80% of the workforce which he has successfully achieved without any negative effect on the operation of Twitter. For the remaining staff he has eliminated all free lunches!
If it were not for the advertiser boycott organized by Jonathon Greenblatt of the ADL and other pressure groups of the same ilk (usual suspects) Twitter would be a very profitable company today. How many companies can shed 80% of their workforce and continue to operate as usual (even better actually)?
If Elon can survive this onslaught from not only the intelligence state but from that group of people who traditionally have controlled all legacy media as well as big tech Twitter will look very different five years from now. It will be a single app that will replace PayPal, YouTube, Facebook and perhaps even Google! It will be the single most powerful source of communications, news and information in the world and worth many times the $40 billion Elon spent on the company. Sounds far fetched? Let’s not forget that Elon is rebuilding the World Wide Web infrastructure in outer space as I type this!
Keith— I would like you to be proven correct.
However, I am very skeptical.
Elon rides in with his brilliance shimmering, his hero cape flapping, and rescues us peons from the Big Bad Deep State…
It brings a tear to my eye.
My viewpoint is more aligned with USAFirst!
It is not what I wish— but what I suspect.
😇 … or….👿 ??????
It is obvious from his communications on Twitter that Musk knew the attacks on him were coming as soon as he became a threat to the status quo. I think we can all agree this man is a genius. Look at what he has accomplished with SpaceX. I understand that people are skeptical here, but if Trump could take on the Swamp with all his wealth and still be in the ring to fight for America despite all the outrageous persecution being launched at him, why couldn’t Musk also be of the same mindset? I for one, am for supporting him as he fights Goliath. We need someone like him on our side and there are already some positive changes showing on Twitter that have made it a more even playing field for conservatives.
Keith, Are you one or two direct reports away from Elon? My guess is you’re one and your boss reports directly to Musk. You are a little too ‘pro-EM’ and have a little too much inside-Twitter information for my liking.
I am old, and think that sometimes a sheep is a sheep, without the internal wolf. Then again, if Elon is as smart as I think, he would definitely keep an eye on the treehouse..hmmm kinda on the fence, for a while.
Agree with your statement. Positive actions ARE happening, so we applaud those, and keep observing.
Maybe he can convince Congress to get rid of 80% of the Federal bureaucracy next! Let’s really drain that swamp!
Yes, as others below (or above) — I’m in a wait and see mode. I pray for the best, but prepare (mentally) for the worst!
In honor of Rush – DITTO!
Sounds like something the Deep State dreams of achieving.
They just have to have a smart, brilliant frontman to accomplish that goal.
He won’t be able to hide his fangs forever.
I hope I’m wrong but only time will tell.
😉🙃
If Musk is a wolf, and he is outed, my money is on our gracious host right here to be the one who gets the scoop.
About this, Keith:
How many companies can shed 80% of their workforce and continue to operate as usual (even better actually)?
In my experience of Woke/CCP-controlled high tech – about 80%!
“It will be a single app that will replace PayPal, YouTube, Facebook and perhaps even Google!”
Ah yes replace the illusion of choice with no choice at all. Seems to be the next logical step.
Reality is always better than pretence.
“Let’s not forget that Elon is rebuilding the World Wide Web infrastructure in outer space as I type this!”
Not possible unless Starlink is far more that he advertises it as. Starlink represents itself as an ISP that uses bidirectional satellite modems instead of copper, fiber or 4G cellular connections.
The internet and WWW were designed and refined to provide open, free and redundant communications worldwide. Those goals have been exceeded. The forces intent on “rebuilding” the WWW are the tyrants and corporatists to whom free information flow is an existential threat, Now why would Musk want be part of that?
Consider a third storyline: Elon might be a white knight, and he might succeed against the Deep State and its private corporations in Silicon Valley… but then what he builds to overcome all that must still be protected against being commandeered by the Feds or Five Eyes or whatever conspiratorial consortium would try to take it over and use it for their ends.
The battle for freedom on earth is never ending (until the Prince of Peace establishes a reign no fallen human could build or maintain).
Remind me again, what is the technical definition of fascism ?
public-private partnership?
Hmmmm…..I find this whole issue somewhat confusing. I recall Sundance’s analysis that the only servers that would be large enough to accommodate Twitters ‘comment’ (rather than ‘content’) style apparatus would have to be US government servers. It is easy enough to attach Musk’s other ventures with the US government, whether Tesla, X.com, SpaceX, Neuralink, etc. The attachment of Twitter to the US government servers certainly sounded very sensible. But this all leads to some very curious questions about what Musk is doing, and why.
😉🙃🤡
“But this all leads to some very curious questions about what Musk is doing, and why.”
Exposing the matrix of how the U.S. government is helping the Democrats destroy the economy will help Musk sell more cars.
We need Republican energy policies to charge his cars and create jobs.
A better economy helps everyone.
Musk, in my opinion, is controlled opposition.
Musk/Twitter’s silence on the current Chinese protests lends credence to your opinion. What exactly is China’s role/interest in Twitter?
I don’t think Elon realizes who he’s dealing with. JFK and RFK are prime examples of what they are capable of.
On the contrary, I think he does. In fact, I’d go as far as saying he’s prepared for it. Back in the JFK and RFK days, things were a LOT easier to fake and conceal. Today, it’s approaching impossible. Just look at what happened with 9-11. The original official story is no longer the official story which is now effectively “we don’t know what happened.” They couldn’t contain the facts and they couldn’t contain architects and engineers calling BS on their whole narrative.
The same is going to be true of the C19 narrative. They started out by destroying any doctors who spoke out but eventually they will all be heard.
Elon doesn’t strike me as the kind of man who is afraid to die. But if they tried to do anything to him, he’d likely have the evidence to prove it conclusively.
We are living in a time where even though lies can circle the globe before the truth can get its boots on, the truth is incredibly difficult to hold back.
I think a lie is EASIER to maintain now than ever, thanks to the near total control of information outlets by the establishment.
Despite what many people might believe and despite your assertion to the contrary, the “official story” about 9-11 has NOT changed whatsoever.
Time will tell. Despite mountains of public evidence that makes it seem obvious to anybody paying attention, the official story NEVER changes. Examples:
9-11
Benghazi
Hands up, don’t shoot
Russia collusion
Epstein death
Las Vegas shooting
2020 election
George Floyd
2022 mid-terms
Covid
Plenty more examples out there.
Nobody retracts. Nobody apologizes. Nobody suffers any consequences.
That’s wrong. The official government scientific resources describing how a fire on an upper floor of a skyscraper could bring the buildings down perfectly TWICE is now unanswerable. It has changed.
Now how many people bother to know the truth after it has been released or updated is another matter. Retractions exist. They just aren’t widely published or distributed or discussed.
No.
You may think the government story is a laughable farce that has been roundly discredited, and you’d probably be right.
That said, the government has never changed the “official” story in any meaningful way, and never will.
They simply ignore the evidence.
You can add JFK to that list.
How can you offer an opinion on what kind of man he is?
Or …offer opinions on what you think he’ll do?
Puh-leeze….
Who the hell knows?
This is supposition and fantasy.
Donald Trump is an existential threat to the forces gutting America and ending liberty.
When Elon Musk gets even a taste of what Trump has been put through, we then might start to believe he is a threat to the globalists and deep state.
Release the damn files. Apply sunlight.
Anyone remember Julian Assange?
The guy who released an edited video designed to make US soldiers look bad? iow, propagandising for the enemy terrorists the US forces were fighting alongside his Australian countrymen? Whose degenerate lifestyle led to allegations of sexual assault, resulting in a request for extradition from the UK to Sweden? Who then jumped bail, causing his supporters to forfeit the £93,500 of bail money they had put up for him? Whose cultish fanbois tick every anti-Western box, support every anti-Western cause, every anti-Western terrorist group? That guy? Yeah, I remember that guy.
DR. SHIVA- MIT genius professor and INVENTOR of the EMAIL system- found both Twitter and Facebook had ” secret portals ” installed which allowed Dirty DEMOCRAT politicians and Govt. officials to BAN conservative messages without any reason.– I am permanently banned on Twitter since posting this in the hope MUSK would see it.
Heres the link to DR. SHIVA.. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/10/discovered-facebook-twitter-private-portals-democrats-government-officials-corporate-elites-meet-ban-unwanted-conservative-content/
I expect to see the following statement very soon,
“If something happens to me, just want you to know that I am not suicidal”
~ Elon Musk
when seeking to rid yourself of some bothersome constitutional restrictions first find an issue that most people agree with (e.g. eliminating jihadi terrorism, etc.).
Terrorism, biological emergency, yep.
To tell the truth.
Watch who stand up first and who stays sitting.
Loved that show.
He better release them now, before they figure out a way to shut him down.
Chafe and countermeasures. Just release it, an announcement isn’t required.
It’s a call to negotiation or a public response to a private threat. This is a conversation, not a random statement.
Just because two enemies of liberty (Twitter and Apple) are negotiating does not necessarily mean either one is on the side of Liberty.
When Musk aligns with the only man whose has been through the fire against all of our enemies, there may be reason to think a re-alignment of Twitter is taking place.
What makes you think the discussion is with twitter and apple? This is between musk and the intelligence community.
The Freidman tweet that Musk responded to, in context of Appple’s threat to remove the Twitter app from it’s app store.
Your point prompts me to ask the same question…
Just because two enemies of liberty (Twitter and IntelCommunity) are negotiating does not necessarily mean either one is on the side of Liberty.
Is there a difference?
You are crediting him with power he Individually does not have.
It would not be allowed.
You are being played— IMO!
I have little doubt that Apple & Google and the rest will de-platform, de-play store, whatever it takes, in order to silence Musk.
He’ll definitely have to build his own. They will strike 6-9 months before the election, so he needs to be get his alternatives up and running in the next half year or so.
If Musk wants to expose what went on then why didn’t he just post it all without warning? I think it is possible he is threatening action to get something in return.
I trust Elon more than I trust DeSantis.
But sadly I do not fully trust either of them.
We’ve been fooled before.
It came to me on waking this morning – just one of those thoughts that come right before truly awake.
Why did Elon Musk announce this?
Why not just publish the files without an announcement? If he really intended to publish, why not go ahead and do it? Why make an announcement that will encourage attacks even before it gets into the public domain?
He appears to trying to gain leverage for something entirely different.
Not a good look.
Yep, remember WikiLeaks’ drops? That’s how it’s done.
It is illogical for him to have purchased Twitter without any idea of what was going on. Isn’t that the reason he did buy it, because he did have an idea.?
Don’t announce it, just DO it. A few days later Elon has a “change of focus” and will “delegate to a ‘neutral DOJ arbitrater’ to consider some Big Shots’ concerns.”
Just like Trump announcing DeClass and getting a “friendly visit” from Rosie.
Trump’s announcement was the same as doing it. As president, anything he SAID is declassified is declassified. That said, distribution (release) is a different matter.
What’s interesting about Trump’s declassification order is that anyone seeking a FOIA and is denied will win in court if they keep at it. They can’t claim something which is declassified is still classified unless they can show that it was “reclassified” which would beg the question of who and by what authority could they override the president? Well it would be another president.
As I stated above, this is a conversation. Whether this is a public response to a private threat or a negotiation. Either way, it’s public and will eventually lead to more questions FROM the public and that’s the purpose of making it public.
I told y’all this was going to be fun to watch. I don’t care what Musk’s motives are. This is good stuff and you don’t have to be a Musk fan to enjoy it.
I certainly hope fun burns well in the fireplace this winter to heat the house. However, I do see how this is just an interesting intellectual exercise for those with otherwise comfortable lives watching the suffering from the sidelines. I think Musk and the rest of the bread and circuses should supply superior entertainment during these dark winter months. Thanks Elon!
What is your point? Are you saying people can’t heat their houses because of Musk?
I think he’s just saying it’s a distraction to divert attention from more immediate survival needs.
Fair point
Not to me. Am I supposed to forego all entertainment and all my interests because people are suffereing? Why? I didn’t cause their suffering and when I was down, I didn’t expect anybody else to stop living because of it.
Enjoy your life.
Curious as to just where you are experiencing-or-expecting-to-experience this “suffering”. In America, at least so far, there are SO MANY freaking ‘support’ programs in place (at taxpayer expense) that NO ONE, who has done a minimum to provide for themselves and their families, cannot possibly be ‘suffering’. If they are, they deserve it. I personally know of no one.
There are people suffering in America but it has absolutely nothing to do with Elon Musk or what’s happening at twitter right now. He never told Biden to go to war against fossil fuels.
Tick Tock…
Twitter is the deep state’s megaphone. That is what this is all about.
Be alert for a ruse, like the unbanning of PDJT, to pull MAGA back onto TWTR to be watched. TWTR will never be ‘safe’
Eye …..uh-gree……
👁 👁👁👀👁👁👁
Robt. Barnes says Musk bought Twitter to “buy political cover from the right/libertarians, via “free speech”, due to ongoing investigations on other issues re: his other businesses.”
I don’t know what to believe.
But do not believe in billionaire “anti-establishment” superheroes – especially when their billions are so tied up in government “tit” via alternate energy (solar tax credits/EV incentives/carbon credits), space (delivery of satellites, etc). As a real estate developer, Trump’s fortune was less dependent on govt.
Can I post or will it be monitored
