When various doctors and professionals in the healthcare industry were kicked off Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and social media platforms for holding a contrary view of the COVID-19 mitigation efforts, their voices found a way to alternate platforms including TikTok. At the heart of the government argument about TikTock as a national security threat, you will find this dynamic.
The claims of data insecurity as a reason for government action against TikTok is a false justification. The reason the U.S. govt is defining TikTok as a national security threat is not because a Chinese firm controls it, the threat is because the U.S. government does not control it. Thus, DHS involvement in Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Google, Apple, Microsoft and more takes on a more accurate perspective. TikTok is not under DHS control, therefore TikTok’s ability to transmit information without DHS filter controls is a threat.
Bread and circuses. In this interview with California Congressman Ro Khanna, Maria Bartiromo notes he was one of the only Democrats in congress who wrote a warning to Twitter about the censorship issue. However, even then, a key sentence in the letter from Khanna to Yoel Roth is ignored. He’s no hero. WATCH:
The DHS Portal – […] discussions have ranged from the scale and scope of government intervention in online discourse to the mechanics of streamlining takedown requests for false or intentionally misleading information.
“Platforms have got to get comfortable with gov’t. It’s really interesting how hesitant they remain,” Microsoft executive Matt Masterson, a former DHS official, texted Jen Easterly, a DHS director, in February. (link)
It’s not just the First amendment being compromised by this collaboration, it’s also the Fourth Amendment against unwarranted searches of private papers (communication).
“It’s not just the First amendment being compromised by this collaboration, it’s also the Fourth Amendment against unwarranted searches of private papers (communication).”
I’ve been equally troubled by the surveillance state spying on private citizens. No matter the motives of Elon Musk, he has began the process of exposing the rot inside our government.
I’m sure the FBI/DOJ will jump right on these gross violations of the Constitution! Charges will be brought, heads will roll, convictions will be had and perps will be jailed!/s But President Trump is being investigated by a Special Counsel for what an insurrection via Grandmas with cell phones? Our Judicial system is upside down! Good is evil and prosecuted while evil is good and venerated!
FBI won’t get on it as long as there are garage door pulls to be investigated.
Trump gets the credit for exposing the rot. Elon is piling on in a good way. Nitpicking, yes, but let’s credit the right people. Now, what do We The People do about this?
We also know that the Department of Homeland Security is funding the “Cybersecurity Services” and “associated security devices” at no charge. This sounds like DHS and EI-ISAC have entered into an agreement to federalize privatize “secure” our elections at the state and county level, and incentivize states and counties to comply by offering the services “free”.
And in return for continuing to federalize privatize “secure” our elections, the EI-ISAC/CIS gets unprecedented access to the following:

The EI-ISAC is federally funded by CISA

How can there be count problems, “Private Entity (EI-ISAC) Provides Security for Elections and Then Manages “Misinformation” for the Same Entities on Behalf of the Federal Government”.

But I still don’t trust TikTok either.
We shouldn’t.
Chy-na!
Ideally we’d open up US based social media to support the 1st amendment and then either control or ban TicTok. The Constitution doesn’t protect the freedom of speech of a foreign adversary nor the spying and thought control from same.
In fake social we trust. /s
Never Trust Better
We shouldn’t allow China, our enemy, to be operating social media in our country.
So you think our news must be the exclusive purview of the US Government and filtered/ censored by same?
The bigger question about the Khanna email is why was it selected (curated) for release?
It bothered me, listening to him, that he is OK with the surveillance. But, he is a democrat.
He’s a third world immigrant who couldn’t care less about the United States Constitution and your rights!
That is exactly the problem they dont adopt our values and fit in …They come here with their same BS 3rd world views.
And then foist them on us – and we don’t fight back. These people should be deported back to their original countries where they can cause all the trouble they want. We have been far too lenient about immigrants. It used to be an honor to be allowed to come here. Now everybody and their relatives and relatives of the relatives come unhindered by any formal procedures. America, by our own actions, is not so special after all.
Thanks for taking one for the team. I couldn’t watch his lying face or listen past, “Congress has got to get involved.”

This country is run by organized crime syndicates.
Nope. American screwing fellow Americans, ignoring our Constitution and daring anyone to get sh@ting with THEM.
What we need is teams to fan out and tickle these folks.
Who is funding them? Cut off the money and problem solved.
This is an amazing video.
It touches on about 30 topics that could spawn a video on each.
Even if only half of this is true it’s (fill in a superlative of your choice).
The corruption in this country and worldwide is much worse than most of us believe and has been that way for much longer than we believe.
Hillary had Sussmann and the CIA had Strzok with offices in the FBI HQ. I wonder when we will ID Soros, Gates and Zuckerberg’s people who also have offices there.
Ok, that answers why the border is wide open…. Sex trafficking, drugs, money, guns….
The Jennie is not going back in the bottle. Never

Musk is outpacing the containment and limited hangout efforts:
Every Democrat in Congress lauded Fauci, tied themselves to him at the hip, and voted for jab mandates to be imposed on American citizens.
There is no escape for them.
There’s no harm coming to them…so THEY laugh and sip bourbon and whiskey on our dime.
If this “no harm” condition changing in the afterlife?
Oh I disagree….there is harm coming to them.
Lafayette’s question was rhetorical.
“And I was glad [Fauci] was there. He was a reassuring voice to the public; Mitch McConnell had advised me, correctly, that Fauci would be a valuable member of the team because of his stature.”
–Mike Pence, So Help Me God
Get His Name out of your f*cking mouth, traitor.
I say, Elon is speaking truth. That is my gut.
We have the same evidence of that fact as of most of those we act on, to wit: their own affirmations, and their reasonings in support of them.
Which is pretty strong evidence. He fights so hard for the truth that he’s almost like Jesus (he mentioned in some tweet that he’s following Jesus).
It is amazing how, fighting for the truth, mentioning Christ in his Baphomet suit, along with the news that he will soon put the first chip in the human brain, the most prominent transhumanist has almost the full support of a conservative audience. Like mass black magic. Like,”Let’s go, Brandon.”
A tipoff is when he is being slimed by the profoundly psychopathic types like the tweet-capture above. Here is the passive-aggressive attack…”please don’t threaten the poor, poor LGBTQ community, that is under threat. You meany!” Of course we all know that there is no more brutal and aggressive “community” than the LGBTQ thugs stealing children and maiming them in a diabolical conspiracy with our detestable medical community.
Fauci is a mass murderer. He illegally continued funding of GoF research to create new bioweapon diseases. He then shares them with the CCP military via the odious EcoHealth antihuman consortium of monsters. Then lies furiously about its origins when to know its code is to save innocent lives. Then he suppresses safe treatment sin favor of the deadliest substance ever injected into human beings-by force and coercion. The magnitude of this creature’s evil is breathtaking.
It may be that the truth is outpacing their limited hangouts.
They (the deep state, yes, in league with transhumanists) are trying to get out in front of something.
That something might be the Jason Fyk lawsuit coming in early January about misapplication of Section 230.
https://socialmediafreedom.org/
Exactly right. He needs to get ahead to know their next 10 moves before they do. Just like the good crooks, except he is on the right side of things.
I wasn’t sure of Elon’s motives, but that Prosecute/Fauci burnishes him as a truth teller with a great comeback to an illegally elected current American Senator.
Realistically, rooting out all this cross contamination between private and public entities, trying to change the culture of corruption of each, will be like trying to find the damn ant that just bit you at Grandmas picnic.
Get that can of raid and just start spraying.
When empty use it as a club. You’re bound to hit an ant or two. Just don’t hit and aunt.
Not having picnics on ant hills next to the dumpster behind the taqueria with hoax hustlers, drug dealers, and immigration pimps is easier. /s
Unfortunately, even if you build a MAGA park, the national security ants will follow the democracy crumbs to free food like administrative welfare queens, no matter how many grifter defenses against political parasites you have. /conjob
You’re not looking for ants.
If you’re in the dark social media ghettos and feel something crawling on you, turn the lights on. /s
Sundance, particularly good tonight was Steve Hilton’s show, Next Revolution.
He listed a whole bunch of former intel and specifically fbi people who went to work for social media platforms, including, of course, twitter, but others as well.
Fox has been trying to put this guy Ro out there as some kind of Free Speech Hero.
Such BS.
Like fox news would know what free speech means.
Remember, FOX NEWS, SNOOZEMAX, CNN, CBS ABC, NBC all gladly took money from the government and big pharma to SHUT DOWN debate on COVID INFORMATION and the STOLEN ELECTION.
and NONE of them would defend OANN or RT when they were removed from the PUBLIC AIRWAYS.
Is OANN totally gone? My provider never carried them.
<Is OANN totally gone?>
OANN spokesman said:
‘Don’t worry, Lafayette we are here’ 🙂
We don’t have cable TV. Not going to fund any of the MSM suppression and propaganda. I watch OAN on their app. And RAV.
Khanna is from my area and my immediate reaction to his appearance on Bartiromo earlier today is that he has ambitions to run for the presidency. He has the Kennedy effect, both in looks and earnestness, even though the latter might be phony. Just my gut feeling.
Watch Ro’s attack of CME CEO Duffy on you tube when Ro defended Sam Bank Failure Freed in congressional hearing. Ro is a colossal jerk. Duffy, who’s in his 60s, grew up on the far south side of Chicago. His father was a Chicago cop. I was hoping the Bank failure Fried scandal would have longer legs in the legacy media and we’d see more of common sense Duffy exposing Fried.
Murdoch purchased Myspace for a lot less then Musk purchased twitter. Murdoch sold Myspace for a lot less then he purchased it for.
Myspace failed thanks to ad saturation, trying to be what it’s not, and the current thing.
There is a funny meme going around with netizens that were around when Murdoch’s Myspace was held up as a pedo-paradise.

To be honest I have never heard Trump say one thing about privacy. No one has since Reagan.
Because there isn’t any privacy, nor has there been any in at least 20+ years.

I truly don’t see LGBTQ+ people as “marginalized” in any way or “at-risk-of-violence”. I see them forcing their ideology on others while pretending victimhood and using violence toward others, including using Antifa as allies to carry out violence.
It’s that luggage theft
That guy has way to much baggage
Apparently not….
and they are only 7.1% of the population. The percentage is increasing at a frightening rate as it has doubled in the last 10 years. Gen Z is responsible for a great deal of the increase.
It was always said if the muslims get to 10% in any country, they will take over. (that is from my research many years ago). I think the same applies to LGBTQ since they already seem to be steering our course. There will no longer be a “normal” and I hope I’m dead and gone when that time comes.
Correct-amundo! (Sorry, Fonz!)
Scott Kelly?
Twin brother of Kelly in AZ?
And he speaks so highly of Fauci…/s
Sigh..oh boy….
Another clone, like the Vindmans.
Fauci probably now hates Elon Musk even more than he hates Rand Paul.
Just an analogy!
a person is told to walk into the freezing cold with no coat, then another and another until all are out freezing. The MSM Says, “look around everyone is out here, why worry.” After a bit they question “ I’m cold can I go in or get a coat?” “ why” says the msm “ nobody has a coat or is going in.” Though they are cold, freezing to death they adhere to suicidal logic. After a time people begin to drop, frozen from the cold. “ I think we should go in.” MSM “ no look, nobody is going in or wears a coat why be a traitor to your people.” More die until one says “ screw this I’m not going to die I’d rather be a traitor.” And goes inside.
God watches from 60,000 feet up and watches the first exit the warm place he created for us all. He says go “ go inside” no, reason, no information just “ go inside” the person ignores his voice and more follow.
That place, 60,000 feet up? That’s where God puts us when we read his word and study fervently. It’s a choice.
Well said Palerider !!
The modus operandi of democrats under subpoena is to delete/ destroy the evidence.
How was there anything left at Twitter?
Sounds to me like Jimmy Baker and the other FBI thugs on loan to Twitter carefully culled the “Twitter Files” to limit culpability.
No, the FBI does not even know all the evil they have committed. They have been like sharks in a frenzy. There is no way to hide all they have done wrong. They do not even know what standards and laws they have broken, as they have disregarded every norm long ago.
When those that have been harmed start to sue, the list of who can be sued will be long. I imagine at some point there will be a class action lawsuit with the governments goal of sweeping it under the rug.
In regards to lawsuits, I wouldn’t put it past the republicans to put forth some kind of binding resolution that will put all social media under one umbrella and then for those in the class action lawsuit to file against that umbrella entity.
Not a hero but a turd sandwich…
Wow!
To think the [Fascist] US Government is more of a threat to American’s free speech than the [Communist] Chinese Government is a threat to American’s free speech!
Who do you think is at least one of the entities running Joe biden’s america? He sold out to them completely according to the book written by Mike McCommick “Joe Biden unauthorized and the 2020 crackup of the democrat party” CCP studied him for years and knew his enormous ego would allow him to betray america to gain wealth, the wh and have them take care of his son.
McCormmick posted a comment here several days ago with a link to his website and the information about the book. I went down that rabbit hole and learned a lot.
As it was explained to me by a friend, Ro Khanna here only cares about the 1st Amendment in so much as the Stunning & Brave Progda MDM-MSM Journ-O-Lister traitors can hide behind it … and not at all for anybody else like we UltraMAGA Deplorables.
“Platforms have got to get comfortable with gov’t. It’s really interesting how hesitant they remain,”
“Hesitent.” Has a familiar ring to it.
Why do you think every tech company is pushing cloud computing? MS Office is online/cloud? You work on their servers on the cloud, all of your documents are there? It is so easy. Really convenient for you.
It is all about monitoring EVERYTHING you do.
Yes.
It is part of “The Great Reset”, “The One World Government”, “The New World Order”, The Green New Deal”, “The Digital Passport (vaccine passport, CO2 consumption passport, EMS passport, social credit passport, etc.)
“You will own nothing, will have no privacy and WILL BE HAPPY.” OR ELSE!!!!
Ah, but the same Internet they are trying to use to monitor EVERYONE, and to control and manipulate Public Opinion,…
Is the same internet that affords all access to CTH, TGP, etc. destroying their false narratives, as quickly as they are put out.
As for Universal Survellence, …lets just say it needs some work.
We have all experienced it being used for advertising, but its the same technology; I am talking or texting with a friend, they or I mention a product, and for the next two months we get popups advertising the product.
I don’t WANT it, cause I already bought one, and in the original conversation my friend said he had no use for it.
So much for AI, and ‘survellence’, I am not impressed.

Sundance is a real treasure. His insights are phenomenal. He catches things that I would never catch and makes it simple to understand.
Am I crazy for suspecting that he has been chosen for this specific mission?
Thanks, Sundance & team.
I’m a little confused — I thought President Trump tried to get Tik Tok banned in the U.S. because it was China-based, and put U.S. citizens’ personal info at risk. Was he misinformed? Or was he aware of — and in on — the DHS running all these other social media platforms?
PDJT was absolutely correct. TikTok is a China digital weapon against the USA.
What Sundance is saying, IMHO, is that the deceptive narrative is that the demoncrats/RINOs (uniparty) are trying to demonize TikTok, not because they are worried about the CCP using it as a tool against America, but simply because they cannot control the narrative.
The uniparty wants to replace TikTok with a social media tool that the FAR leftists currently in power can control. They don’t care about the USA at all.
Periodically I have made suggestions about the use of language on this forum, none of which has taken hold.
Language is extremely important. The left uses it very effectively against the good people of the world.
Have you noticed that the MSM will frequently refer to a politician as “left leaning” or pretend that they have no political leaning, whereas they almost always refer to a middle of the road politician as “far right”?
Here is my suggestion, in casual conversation and when posting things on blogs, chat rooms, etc., refer to the lunatics pushing LGBTQ+, transgenderism, open borders, pedophilia, etc., as “far left”, “communist sympathizers”, “radical left”, “anarchists”, “socialists”, ‘social deviants”, “bat shit crazy”, etc.
I know what I speak of. Have you ever heard the term “to catch a buzz”, referring to getting stoned on pot?
I invented the phrase in the 1970’s. I was shocked when as a teenager, I made the phrase up and it swept the local community and the USA in a few months.
BTW – I am totally not advocating for the use of pot. I believe that it rots the mind.
This was a phrase I used in high school, that went viral, well before the term “viral” was invented.
I agree with you that words matter and generally the leftist manipulators are VERY good at it.
Until PDJT, we didn’t have many leaders capable of countering this war swuth words.
HE always says “DEMOCRAT party”, NOT “Democratic party” for instance.
KL has also done great at battling with words, and the MAGA politicians that have stood up for the midterms, are learning to fight on this front.
Call them out for what they are the Communist democrat party. If they disagree, ask them why? They can’t defend the insanity that has taken hold and they get very very uncomfortable being called communist, Let them squirm is their own crap.
Dutchman, Before PDJT accurately and pointedly labeled MSM as “fake news”, were the words ‘misinformation’ & ‘disinformation’ used?
Or were these two ‘dis’ coined to counter the popular and catch all “fake news” ?
Joemama – I appreciate your first comment, which addressed my question about PTrump, Tik Tok, China, and the DHS. But I am not sure how what I asked relates to your second comment about use of language. (Although as someone who makes a living as a writer, I do agree with your point. I just wasn’t sure how it related to what I originally asked.)
I had intended to post at the top level, not as a comment on your comment. The comment about language had nothing to do with your post.
Sorry for the confusion.
Got it – thanks for clarifying!
Social deviants is a great description. “Social” warms them up; “deviants” will (or should) shame them.
Don’t forget the hearings where Kanna vehemently defended the honor of cryto Ponzi FTX, that was bizarre.
Sure, vote in foreigners to run the US. India does not send us their best.
Another venal politician and his two cents.
Sunday Talks [talking], California Democrat Rep Ro Khanna Discusses [more talking] Twitter-Govt Censorship, Future Hearings [even more talking] and TikTok [electronic talking].
Dear Brazil, can America please borrow one of your b*lls (since the Belgium farmers, French Yellow Vests and Canadian truckers politely declined)?
America, most favored windbag among nations.
If you follow business news, they use Larry Summers, economist as the so-called reasonable Democrat to promote garbage economic narratives. Ro Khanna is no hero.
“The reason the U.S. govt is defining TikTok as a national security threat is not because a Chinese firm controls it, the threat is because the U.S. government does not control it.”
So what? Would I have wanted the Soviet Union to have been running a system which promotes such absolute garbage content to kids while collecting their data? No. Have you seen the coverage of what is content is allowed in China? Not the garbage here.
Musk wants TikTok gone so a Twitter expansion can fill the gap. I’d rather have him involved than the CCP although I have no doubt the garbage content will remain since our culture is already compromised.
All bipartisan bills passed favors the democrats.
That’s what I see when I am awake.
I don’t want to come off as a jerk because I’ve now made this point several times but you’re lookin at Tik Tok’s core issue all wrong. The concern is not the user generated content and censorship with Tik Tok, it’s that the application is spyware transmitting all the data on devices it is installed on back to the CCP. In addition, it can be used to live track the location of the user and use the camera and microphone to spy without the knowledge and permission of the user. The issue with Twitter is straight up censorship and propaganda. If anything FB and/or Google have the same capability and use as TT with the data going to the US Gov rather than the CCP.
The faces you are seeing are groomed soul-less puppets who, by now, were supposed to be reining over depopulation and New World Order slave camps. They come from the same mold. Some put an R after their name, others a D. The good guy Republican list is a short one.
America’s death march has alternately been led by donkeys and elephants. They figured they’d have had us at the gallows by now and their 60’s era generation of now -geriatric political whores, would have slipped away quietly into the night. Instead, they’ve all been propped like Weekend at Bernie’s – because the Tea Party, and then Trump and his Deplorables stopped marching.
Ro Khanna and Nikki Haley for example, share the same background, speech, mannerism, duplicity and slick “packaging” Like all of America’s “diverse” new world order political class, they are right out of the same casting book.
Freemen have but one leader who has been through the fire – who has stood in defiance in front of the death march.
“… he [Khana] was one of the only Democrats in congress who wrote a warning to Twitter about the censorship issue.”
One of? He appears to have been the only one.
The question I have is who is gonna save Mitch McConnell while he helps Joetato destroy our country? His money will not save him. I guess he will run to China along with Joe, Hunter and the rest of the biden family, probably on AF1.
But let’s hold a bunch of hearings and watch, nothing will come of them. The world is moving too fast, and the hearings and subsequent findings will always be ten steps behind. Good crooks know how to stay ahead of the law.
“Congress has got to get involved…” NO, THEY DON’T!
It is sickening to have them micromanage our lives. We have a Constitutional Republic that clearly states our Rights come from God Almighty. Besides, Congress is a lousy middleman!
My initial instincts on the presidential thread were absolutely correct. Freedom of the press and freedom of speech and expression are God-given rights protected under the US Constitution. Just because the US government or anybody else has another opinion does not give them the authority to cancel our Constitutional rights.
