Arguably, Glenn Greenwald has been the most critical voice about the rise of the U.S. surveillance state and generational shift of the U.S. intelligence apparatus to conduct domestic surveillance on American citizens. There’s a reason Greenwald lives in Brazil where no extradition treaties with the U.S. government exist.
Curiously, when it came time to release information about DHS connections to Twitter, Glenn Greenwald was not considered as an acceptable outlet for the information. Instead, Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss were selected by Elon Musk to represent his sunlight and transparency interests. However, in this brief video Greenwald gets to interview Taibbi about his findings. {Direct Rumble Link}
Interested viewers will note Taibbi’s #1 takeaway from his review of the Twitter Files data is that evidence of the DHS connection to Twitter exists. Taibbi speaks of the “instructions” coming into Twitter from U.S. government officials. Yet, curiously missing from the documented evidence provided by Taibbi was anything showing a paper trail of this instruction pathway he is describing. WATCH:
.
Greenwald is smart, strategically smart; Greenwald also knows why he was not selected to review the files. Glenn artfully guides Taibbi to discuss elements of the story that perhaps Taibbi himself doesn’t recognize are being shaped for his reporting. Note: “we don’t know how the ‘ask’ works yet.”
Full Video Below (segment begins at 33:00-minute mark)
The “Twitter Files” were just old tweets packaged and fed to Taibbi and Weiss to create the illusion of full disclosure. The left pissed all over it. The right was riveted – swooning over their new hero Musk.
continuation of the 6-7 year replay of Fractured Fairy Tales with Boris and Natasha. seems some just cannot get enough {{sigh}}
how many times must we be fooled?
You’ll be manipulated until enough of us wake up and discuss these issues. That will trigger an overwhelming crackdown by the state and that will light the conflagration. Then follows years of horror and tragedy followed by the second coming. That’s what the book says to me.
I still LOVE Boris and Natasha…Even now!
Off the subject, but look up You Tube videos of Hoppity Hooper. Same studio.
And ( in advance) you’re welcome.
Bill Barr gets to decide what gets dripped out……
And what they still don’t understand…Twitter isn’t controlled by EM. Not 1 iota. It is controlled by the DHS, FBI, and CIA.
Where is Jack? Does he have great legal counsel? Who is EM’s legal counsel at the moment?
EM is owned by the government…he depends on the government for his businesses…the government pays him and he pays them. The Swiss cheese document dump by Weiss and Taibbi are just appetizers for an event which gets interrupted and called off. Think SpaceX, StarLink and Neurolink. NOTHING will come of any of this.
Nothing will come of this directly from Musk. Much will come of this indirectly. If Sundance and many of you are correct and Elon is their puppet then they just F ‘Ed up. They released enough dots to connect into a reasonably accurate picture. The fires lit by this type of spark are slow to reach conflagration but there is too much kindling to die out. Their only option will be to try and weaken us enough through inflation, economic slow down and starvation. Then kill a lot of us off with viruses and poisonous injections that are difficult to prove as purposefull, and viola……… fascist tyranny. Remember as Thomas Sowell learned when he was in government the number one motivation and direction of all government agencies is self preservation and permanence. They focus their individual power there and work in concert with the other agencies in group support of that goal. But they created a target rich environment and even an all-powerful giant can die of a million paper cuts. Pride goeth before the fall. They are becoming blind due to self righteous arrogance. Look closely at history. Roman’s, Ottomans, English empire, Nazis, Commies etc. The pattern is very consistent. We have moved steadily to the edge of the precipice and are gazing into the abyss. Only by looking away from the abyss and raising our gaze toward All Mighty God can we avoid stepping off into chaos. We turned our backs and wandered in blindness to the very edge of destruction. Time to open our eyes kneel and give heartfelt remorse to He the is waiting to forgive. May God bless our country and each life therein. In Jesus’s name… Amen
Well put, Dee.
Supposedly, Musk just discovered an FBI agent was in charge of the Twitter Files and finally fired him–after he shredded the good stuff.
He just discovered that Hillary’s law firm was representing Twitter.
And he stll doesn’t know what we all know–Twitter is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Homeland Security.
Swampster, Please.
And now he’s behind Bari Weiss’ DeSantis Fan Club Newsletter. And Fox is dutifully inventing the polling. I also noticed Musk/DeScented are vaxx-bashing and Fauci-flogging because they know it’s a wedge issue for PDT.
There is one thing which proves Musk is on Team Swamp despite various positions;
he was allowed to buy Twitter.
“Supposedly, Musk just discovered an FBI agent was in charge of the Twitter Files and finally fired him–after he shredded the good stuff.
He just discovered that Hillary’s law firm was representing Twitter.”
Miranda Devine called Musk out for that too.
At this point, falling for this sort of thing is inexcusable.
If there were only two conditions for his analysis/participation why did he choose not to include agencies, titles and names? Why not just let it all rip? On a side note I WISH Musk had asked SD to participate in this “TwitterFile Release”. Hopefully Mr. Musk is a lurking Treeper and will give Sundance a Tweet or two very soon 😊
I sincerely doubt Musk lurks at a site featuring the Lord’s Prayer and which celebrates Christ Jesus.
The guy is a Luciferian globalist, so prolly not a fan.
Stranger things have happened in life. One never knows — remember Christopher Hitchens?
Hitch remained an atheist to the end. However for some strange reason he chose to support that God awful Iraq war
Did you read his last book Mortality? Was excellent and his views on many things changed.
Oh dear, another book I will need to add to my ever growing list! Have you read Peter Hitchens (Christopher’s brother) book “Rage Against God”?
I’ve seen many people change their minds about God when at deaths door. I don’t know if it was truly heart felt or a “just in case” turning point. I’m hopeful it was a truly felt revelation; my grandfather and stepdad included.
We all make mistakes.
I know I thought Bush 43 was inarticulate but not stupid, and thought that Tony Blair with MI6 at his disposal would not have gone along with the invasion without evidence they couldn’t disclose.
Wrong.
Oh how I was blind before ‘15.
I admit, as always, that I could be wrong.
I thought I was wrong once
Turns out I was mistaken
Billy Martin’s rules while managing
#1. Coach is never wrong
#2. When coach is wrong see rule #1
I’m adding that quote to my page of quotes to save!!!
That puts you in the same camp as Dr Sowell and Justice Thomas, both who had the courage to admit they were wrong.
No doubt Elon and ALL the other heavy hitters read everything that Sundance writes.
And why not? He does all their work for them.
Ever since I was blessed to find the Tree House several years ago, I knew that this was the place and Sundance was the one and only.
If Elon had given Sundance the files, the jig would be up. Besides, Sundance already figured it all out and published the truth months before.
Apologies, Elder, but I believe you misspelled Years.
😉
Well played.
Yep.
THANK YOU, Maquis- right you are!
Twitter is a Weapon, Not a Business
I think it may have been you who posted this article about Twitter as a weapon, Seneca. Just one example of the ripple effects created by Sundance’s research.
https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/twitter-is-a-weapon-not-a-business
We see the effects all over the internet. Sometimes other authors even give Sundance credit.
I have seen the term “UniParty” become common parlance — at least on gab.
Congress even uses it now.
#Fact — or as my kids say “true dat”.
An easy way to possibly see why Sundance was never given the TwitFiles is to compare reporting on them, and reporting on FISA abuse by Sundance.
Only one has called out names in their reporting no matter who they are.
If EM asked SD to participate and he did, you would say SD sold out and it is a trap.
How can ANYONE read the twitter files and not notice all of the gaps….it’s glaring!
I have a feeling your suggestion about Musk contacting SD about being a part of these releases would be a short conversation.
Musk: SD I would like you to release Twitter Files 8
SD: Thank you for consideration. I would agree as long as there are no redactions and all of the conversation and replies are complete.
Musk: Thank you for you time…..
Political Censorship represents the utmost in tyranny, it’s implemented by simpletons who can’t win the argument and refuse to learn in a dialogue. Whose petty temperament and corruption make them unfit for positions of Responsibility. It’s always been this way especially involving power. That’s why the 1st Amendment protects Free Speech (if you need a speech code to support your beliefs it’s axiomatic that you’re wrong). If there’s one thing in this world that should be stigmatized by now it’s Censorship. To take the efforts of sincere people and just throw them in the trash because they’re better than yours is the emotional display of a child which defines the Western Socialist. There’s a learning process which takes place in our Civilization which keeps it functioning in order for us all to survive. And that process involves the un-fettered exchange of ideas.
This idea of the Socialist that you have to tear everything down in order to rebuild it (which is how they justify their censorship) was asinine at best when they first began to unleash it on the world in the early nineteenth century (1800’s) ! You try to tear down a Massive Modern Civilization and see what happens; with all its supply-chain and inter-locking corporations. A Massive Modern Civilization which is standing on the shoulders of itself can only be adjusted. Any of you Socialists who think otherwise are nothing but the proverbial “useful idiot” and you better take a look at yourself.
And it needs to be adjusted in the direction of self-sufficiency because you “Socialists” have literally entered another era of killing millions of people via Medical Tyranny and too much Concentration in the system. Now, how are we going to do that if you censor the ideas that are necessary? Should we let you just add Censorship to your list of murder weapons?
The symptoms have become acute because you’ve stolen the election system and you’re not qualified to run our Civilization. You prove it every day. Our society is becoming so vulnerable it’s beyond words. We saw clear symptoms of that during the pandemic and instead of seeking self-sufficiency the way Mr. Trump wanted to we’ve been hurled back into a House-of-Cards again. You can see this madness working at the individual level also; we still have a giant Baby-boomer bulge whose idea of preparing for old-age is to move down south and piss all their money away right before it happens, what are we going to do with them?
And are you really going to prevent us from the exchange of ideas it’s going to take to work these situations out?
Free-speechers are trying to help you Block-heads. Most of these problems won’t get traction to begin with under a Free Exchange of Ideas. People are already starting to hate democrats intensely out here. If you would just shut-up and listen for once, we can save you from a back-lash that starts adding you to your own death toll.
Paragraphs are our friends.
Economist did use paragraphs. However, he did not separate them into more readable format. More specifically, double spaces b/w paragraphs.
Of course, one must know the quirks of their device.
I hope to be able to read their posts in the near future. We got great peeps here and I hate missing worthwhile posts.
Old eyes and walls of text are an obstacle but I’ve found Economists posts worth the extra effort.
You just have to hit the space bar twice to get a text break to make it easier on us old timers.
“More specifically, double spaces b/w paragraphs”
In Boomer vernacular (older technology), yes, Economist needs to know their device and hit 2 carriage Returns after each paragraph, then they’ll show up here as separate Pars with blank lines between each
Do smartphones and such have a Return key?
Or am I hopelessly too far behind?
(I AM a late adopter, I was dragged kicking and screaming to abandon my Motorola Razor flip phone, and I do most of my Treehouse browsing at home on a desktop PC computer – what can I say? I have a comfortable chair)
Old dinosaurs die hard … but we do have separated paragraphs
[Actually, I dragged myself kicking and screaming to abandon my Motorola Razor flip phone … I accidentally left it on the plane on a flight back East to visit family]
Yes, Nim, touchscreen keypads have essentially identical features.
Unfortunately what one sees on one’s screen doesn’t always make it through, ie effective paragraph spacing.
yes, that’s why one must know their device and know their destination
“Oh, I’m on Conservative Treehouse, I need to remember to use 2 Returns”
that kinda thing
One can see the result after posting, one could easily hit the edit button and correct it … or at very least remember for next time
“hit two carriage returns”…that would be an IBM Selectric? LOL….
Back in the dark ages, when I was doing new accounts and customer service at a local bank, my then four year came to visit “Mommy” at work…this would have been in the mid 90s when we had a brand spanking new 486 at home on which he played games with Daddy.
He stood there at my desk in awe, looking at my giant top of the line IBM Selectric, and innocently asked me, “Mommy, what is this weird machine and how does it work?”
Selectrics were the BEST!! Great response on the keys and I loved that soft hum.
I still miss my 15 year old desktop pc. It got zapped around a year ago after our power went out. Was still paying for virus protection for the last year. (Hoped I could get it to magically work). So now stuck on notebook and my first iphone.. We can be stubborn. Pray and help others
I’ve still got my flip phone and about 5 people have the number. I’ve got a high def 27″ screen and a fast ssd desktop. Using a smart phone screen for CTH seems foolish to this luddite.
I use both, because I can’t quit CTH when I’m in the kitchen.
Great post, and I must say, I loved my Motorola Razor flip as well!
Grammar Nazi
Dude.
If my posts were unreadable because the way my device works it requires double spacing to come out single spaced and I didn’t recognize that and as a result my input was to difficult for most to read, I would absolutely most appreciate a gentle heads up so I could rectify that.
It’s not about grammar, it’s about readability so we don’t inadvertently drown our own voices; that’s why paragraphs are emphasized in our Treehouse etiquette guide.
As to the name calling, just, Dude, way harsh.
I’m with ya, Maquis
To quote Pauly Shore, he harshed your mellow
One of his best jokes is that on the California driving test —
— instead of True or False, they have “Totally” or “Not Even”
Optional choice : “Way”
And yes, I skip walls of text.
If that’s just a flustercuck between the poster writing
land hitting send, it doesn’t matter.
I just skip it, as many here do.
If you have a significantly long post,
double check, and check again.
Many will just skip it.
cheers
Or if one writes walls of text…maybe start their own blog! 🤣
Daily . . .
Noice!
Use your decider ring🫡😝
🙃
That spineless George W Bush (w is for weasel) has the decider ring
SOMEBODY has to make sure the trains run on time. (Ok, maybe that was the Fascists).
But it’s not going to be a lazy goofus who types “prolly” instead of two more characters to spell it correctly. SMH.
To Marquis I say:
“Thank you and sieg heil”
🤣
Hey John, if you take my Nom de Blog into account you’d see I use Deutsch mostly in duress or derision.
Not a fan.
😉
Mike is a misinformation spreader. No grammar was used improperly.
Now what you got to say, big boy?
And you can instantly look at it and edit in paragraph spacing.
We aren’t looking for MLA here. This isn’t an English course.
We just want stuff formatted in a way we can read it easily.
Be smart. If you want to be read,
format accordingly.
I love our edit button!
Yes!
This is America.
We speak English.
Some of us are proud of our language.
Ebonics and Spanglish are not appreciated.
Good wordsmithing and good grammar are ALWAYS in style.
Oh, I’m not above being silly, or tossing in some Francais or Deutsch, we do have a lot of fun here, but I agree that reading well phrased articulations of other’s perspectives is one of the great joys of CTH.
have not figured that out?
To All: It’s worth the read-

-Economist
Your take-away is paragraphs? 🙄. I thought it was well-written and concise. There are empty spaces before the next paragraph.
Your point could’ve been communicated in a few hundred fewer words. Most of those reading these comments agree with you.
“ Free Speech is critical to a viable democracy!”
I just wish that DJT wasn’t such an egotistical dunderhead that he would endeavor to fight the next fight instead of to pissing and moaning about getting screwed in the last. Being Right doesn’t make things right.
he’s the best POTUS for Americans in my many years but he hasn’t tried to explain that to anyone. As a result, he’s toast.
I stepped into the middle of this and realized why I can’t write more than two sentences. Sorry, is this CTH grammar corner??
It is!
There will be an exam on Friday. This will include: spelling, grammar, punctuation , sentence structure, etc.
If all of you wish for no homework over Christmas break — you simply must pass Friday’s exam!
Johnny, sit up straight and write this in your homework agenda.
Seriously, this soon to be retired schoolmarm wishes each of you a Merry Christmas!🎁
It’s common sense.
Writing blocks of text is cumbersome to read.
This is a blog.
If you want to be read, and have a lot to say,
format your text ina way that’s easy to read.
Otherwise, you’ll get skipped on by.
nah – if it was I’d be standing in it with a dunce cap on my head – just like the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade
Would have scrolled on by (no separation between paragraphs (hit the return key 2x to get them to appear correctly) but due to all the comments about no paragraphs decided to read . . . agree; good points. Welcome to the Treehouse!
Same!
Came up with a trick to read it, scrolling up as I go to use the top of the screen as a place marker.
I appreciated the comment as well.
What are they going to do with the boomers? Are you aware that these people want to drastically reduce world population by the billions?
Well said. I had no trouble reading your comment and understanding its intent. Well done!
Government dependents generally don’t bite the hand that feeds them, and Musk is no exception.
He has been nibbling at them. After all, if SpaceX didn’t exist, neither would NASA, since NASA has outsourced their entire raison d’etre. The only core function left in NASA is wokeness.
And the Space Coast of Florida exists because….?
They just circled the moon with a crew capable module.
Finally, they aren’t Space X after all, but they are in the game.
I just wish their game was making humanity a multiplanetary species with their eyes on the stars.
Especially with a sense of urgency commensurate with the threat that humanity faces from the forces of inhumanity.
Can anyone say “modified limited hangout”?
Looks that way, don’t it?
Thank Heavens we have Sundance to persistently ask the right freaking questions!
please humor me: What does that phrase “limited hangout” mean? The grandkids aren’t around right now to explain the latest street slang.
admitting to one teeny slice of transgression and hoping no one notices the lion’s share that’s lurking but not being called out
my interpretation, YMMV
partial truth/authenticity but leaving much hidden
Was that phrase from Erlichman, Haldeman, or another? John Dean?
I’m old enough to remember the circumstances. I’m also old enough to forget Who Struck John. Life is that way.
I just checked. Apparently it was Ehrlichman. The conversation between Nixon and Ehrlichman, Haldeman, and Dean, was about how to characterize a limited release of bad information. Eherlichman for the win.
ah, you ‘re old enough to remember this photo then
Imagine, you are a bank manager and your bank has been robbed with the robbers getting away scott free for many years.
During the robbery your customers were sequestered and silenced for hours with many being personally attacked and injured, not to mention the loss of their funds.
Post the robbery you uncover actual communications of the robbers emails and texts conversing and planning with some of your bank employees prior to the “planned heist”meaning you know WHO specifically planned, staged, conducted and helped with the robbery but all you will say is there was a robbery and the bank is a crime scene?
So basically the bank manager acknowledges the bank was robbed and people were injured but he/she doesn’t appear to want to identify the actual robbers by name and doesn’t seem to want to turnover/expose the found communications.
Does this sound like a bank manager who wants to truly get to the WHOLE truth or just partial truths? True transparency does not have a filter or a layer of protection. It is all or nothing otherwise it’s not transparency and just more selective narration.
What kind of bank manager wouldn’t immediately provide the names of the robbers and ALL the evidence including the robbers found actual communications?
PS – The only thing that would make this hypothetical story worse is if the bank manager also knew there was a secret door the robbers used to get into the bank and also get all the depositors personal information and the manager chose not to mention the secret door to anyone.
Is that bank managers name Sam by any chance?
it would be worse if the bnk manager was part of the robber gang, maybe getting 10% for the big guy banker
Maybe the banker’s lawyer (the ‘famous’ jim baker or other twitter employees, “specially redacted” all the direct evidence of direct government instruction?
Nice paragraphs.
I read your post.
nice paragraphs – bank manager named Kevin McCarthy by any chance?
Well reasoned…very easy to understand the “modified limited hangout” — some, but not all truth is being exposed because, reasons!
Break on through to the other side.
I am convinced we are entering the last days of our Republic. There are too many things coming at normal people to recognize any one specific threat which is what the plan is. Keep the people unaware until the trap is sprung. The only hope we have is the fact that the 2nd amendment hasn’t been extinguished yet.
Too many around the world have already been neutered and disarmed.
Decline of Rome started when Romans attacked Romans for being Christians leading to torture and death in the Colosseum.
Our road to decline started when Hillary Clinton called Republicans deplorable and democrats concurred.
Americans attacking Americans
It was a tactic perfected by Obola. Move so fast on many fronts that nobody can draw a bead on you, and whatever does come up, get your lapdogs to proclaim it old news.
“We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” — We all knew then, and that’s why my stomach literally ached the day after he was elected. We were warned.
fundamental
fŭn″də-mĕn′tl
adjective
Of or relating to the foundation or base; elementary.Forming or serving as an essential component of a system or structure; central.Of great significance or entailing major change.
The Constitution…
I’m 79yo, pretty much agree with you but …
I’ve considered buying a Glock (stupidly gifted my 12 gauge to a grandson who enjoyed hunting 10 years ago) but my hope is that I’ll pass before a need arises.
A Glock Vs a 50 cal ? Or (shudder) Vs an IRS audit
You’ve a couple decades on me but I’m busted up enough to recognize I’m not gonna drag a .50 to a ridgetop, like, ever, so focusing on personal security and defense of domicile is where it’s at for me.
If SHTF those could still be worthwhile, even on the move.
Besides, Bill Clinton said he’d gladly jump in a ditch if need be so I figure we’re good.
(YES, S/)
308 at 800 yards is where you become one with rifle.
Yep and 30-06 as well.
Beware the man with only one gun – odds are he knows hoe to use it
Glock 19s should be standard issue
I feel also the USA is at the end; it will happen suddenly, a collapse. Well, I am as prepared as possible…although living in an apartment (bad but what can I do), years of being a back to the land hippie type provides me with skills most do not have..I will survive,.
Well, 45 has been very quiet for the most part. I am wondering why…He seems to be the last Political American Patriot…that can stand up to the destruction.
I‘m for him bowing out. Reason…critical mass of the entire republican swamp, gobs o money and rat bastard Mitch McConnell.
Politics is a family business seeing how much THEY can extract from taxpayers. Trump is a self made man many times over.
Why work for your coin when you can steal if from citizens.
Hope I got my words separated correctly😛
Actually, the Republic you lament losing is the bad Republic. A better Republic could emerge with a central tenet being Federalism. Let California be California and let Florida be Florida. That was the way the founding fathers wanted it.
I fear Elon is a useful idiot savant in the rollout of the 2022 controlled opposition playbook.
Maybe the documented evidence that is purposefully missing, is not reaching the public sphere because it will be used to prosecute the bad government actors in court. If the evidence gets released to the public, a jury pool may be contaminated and thus render it useless.
But for now, the useless damaging evidence of corrupt 1st and 4th Amendment right abuses seem to be lacking in disclosure. Frustrating to say the lease.
Perhaps, but a public put wise to the deception is more valuable than prosecutions.
Then again, the Investigate to Asphyxiate tactic could indeed be at play here.
18 US Code 241 If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or

I’ve included the death and ‘sexual abuse’ sections because any use of twitter to promote child trafficing, surgical disfigurement of minors, and or to sexualize minors, might well be defined as sexual abuse under traditional understandings at the time these statutes were originated.
also the requirement of vaccines for children which could have side effects (such as ‘death’), when the ‘vaccines’ are not fully tested, not particularly safe or effective, and adverse information may have been withheld, is arguably a ‘bodily injury’ or death under the statutes.
Whaaaaaat? After the Berlin Wall came down and the LeninStalin Politburo collapsed did anyone really think all those 5 Eyes spooks would come in from the cold and start selling used cars and barbecuing with the family on weekends?
L effin O effin L.
No matter how high or low they are in the peckin’order, a bureaucrat will always be a bureaucrat. It’s a way of life. In very meaningful ways U.S. American bureaucrats are as helpless as their civilian “clients.” U.S American Bureaucrats are frontline dependents training others to also be dependents. There are millions of bureaucrats now. All of them belong to some kind of labor union–even the judges are unionized. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn the spooks are unionized, too.
“Attribute Twitter and post on Twitter.”
Therein lays the lamb with the wolf.
These days, where ANY aspect of this government is discussed by people supposedly “in the know”, expect and assume that obfuscation and lying is involved.
I no longer trust anyone.
We are so screwed. Government is colluding with pvt. industry for propaganda purposes to steal elections and promote, at best, socialism.
There should be demands for serious investigations but we have no agency or entity serious enough to investigate. People should be going to jail, government people, who colluded with enemies of the Republic who Congress exempted from accountability of truth or the first amendment or the fourth amendment.
Matt and Bari are lefties, period. At best they are UniParty. Same with Musk.
The swamp got caught. What is happening now, imo, is an attempt by the swamp to minimize/control the damage so they can continue to erode our Bill of Rights until they no longer exist.
IMO, Bari & Matt are not patriots. They are pretenders, not constitutional advocates.
They are our enemies, at best controlled opposition pretending to be allies. This is war. We cannot accept anything but unconditional surrender to preserve our Constitution.
👉 The current movement by E.M. and acts of commission AND omissions by his selected cover-up “journalists” Matt and Bari bears strong evidence to your conclusions👈
Matt is a foul mouth douchebag. He is taking this on because it is stylish and he can hide his sorry ass behind Elon Musk. You should see the things he wrote about Trump over the last 6 years.
Agree.
Taibbi is just trying to make a living, and this is where it’s led him.
I don’t even read him anymore.
I hope he’s happy and ok, cuz I don’t think he’s a bad guy.
Too many sideways things (like this) that he pops up in for me to take him
at face. Possibly a limited hangout for the IC.
There is no in between; you’re either part of the solution, or you’re part of the problem.
Matt Taibbi says that his Twitter files drop shows that the US government was interfering. But we haven’t seen that proof of that, as Sundance says above.
The question to me is: has Matt Taibbi seen the emails, video requests, meeting notes of DHS and DOJ involvement? Or is he just extrapolating from what he has seen?
Just wondering because if he has copies of those, his phone and records might become targets for a DOJ search warrant.
And, I would add, there are more of us than you think.
It’s simple. Taibbi does not want to be deleted. He consulted with Sy Hersch before doing this and how to do this.
Now we know for certain this is just another psyc-op, and why does this all this matter?
The authoritarians in power are not going to give up on the abject destruction of America. There is no Patton on the march towards DC. At some point this all feels like a lot of talk and like several have said, SD has already stated what the “Twitter Files” are telling us…
Until the authoritarians are exposed ~ buck naked so even the dumbest leftest can see we are in a undeclared soft war and how they are going to lose also. This is going to keep kill us with a 1000 cuts.
I dare say Sundance is swinging his own keen blade, and he draws truth like none other.
So was the firing in f Baker just window dressing so they could bring in Bondo Barr?
From what I’m reading, this appears to be the case.
Barr was a huge hit on their credibility.
I mean yuuuge.
ALL these creeps think they are soooo smart. Does ruthless cunning equal intelligence? Not in my book. Satan is ruthless. Satan is cunning. Satan is very, very intelligent. Satan is also doomed. So who’s smart? Hmmm…?
Some people here wouldn’t stoop to pick up a $50 bill on the street because they think they should get a $100 bill.
Enjoy what you are getting from Musk for free. There is no obligation for doing so.
We aren’t rejecting what’s offered, we are justly demanding more as the profferings flat out scream the government is being undeservedly protected.
Nope…I’m picking up ALL da monies.
I’m picking up nickels.
But I’ve been around long enough to notice
a wooden one.
And some would pick up fools gold and try to cash it in.
We have every reason to be extremely skeptical, knowing the level of control which has been and continues to be exerted in all communication forms.
Reality is that ‘the system’ has become so polluted/manipulated at all levels, one must assume that anything touted as ‘The Truth’ is a created narrative prepared for our consumption.
I am very skeptical of Elon Musk – few are so “in-bed” with the State, on so many levels, as Elon. If he was not useful to the State Actors, he would have been discarded long ago. Until proven otherwise I consider Elon and his theatrics a carefully designed and coordinated PART OF THE PREPARED NARRATIVE.
These Twitter revelation are interesting because they confirm what has been observed and speculated by those noticing the actions/in-actions of Twitter accounts…………….but what will this confirmation of manipulation result in??????????????? Nothing and certainly NOT a resumption of un-manipulated FREE SPEECH!
People are just going to have to acknowledge that they NOW Officially live in a Centrally Planned Economy, a Centrally Planned Society and a Centrally Controlled Discourse of Communication.
‘The People’ need to ACCEPT this new reality of their lives and Elon is helping to get people to ACCEPT that almost every aspect of their lives will, from now on, be State Controlled.
The State knows that they need people to ACCEPT this fact, the narrative the people are now the target of, IS DESIGNED TO GET THEM TO ACCEPT THIS FAIT ACCOMPLI!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to the brave new world. There will be NO going back. There is only acceptance of what you have NO control over!
The State and Private Corporations have merged and you cannot avoid succumbing to their control over you.
We (you) are now officially in the “acceptance phase” of this new reality. Resistance is futile and will be punished by all of these new tools that you must use to live.
I rarely see references to the specific information Dr. Shiva uncovered several years ago, years before The Intercept.
There are “Playbooks” and instructions for the users of the portal Dr. Shiva found online. (Despite 4 degrees from MIT, several years battling alone makes him come off like a bit of a loose canon in his podcasts.) The Ivy League reportedly helped design the portal.
Doctor Shiva didn’t discover it. I did. I handed it to him. He did however discover email, according to him.
And we all have impeccable memories for the wrongs committed and by whom.
Or would that be “by who”? LOL…
Yeah, it’s “whom.” Object of the preposition “by.”
I wonder if he’s selling bunk intentionality OR if he’s just not been fully red-pilled yet.
He’s a smart guy, but I know a lot of smart people who are idiots and blind.
And, yes, the government butters his bread so he can not be fully trusted.
Whatever his motives, he IS releasing info that proves ONCE AGAIN we crazy “conspiracy theorists” were right all along.
And THAT is something he’s doing right. THAT is a good thing.
Yep.
With the help of the likes of Sundance we will tease much more truth out than they ever intended.
In fairness (I suppose), this was a very brief interview. Taibbi has been on Joe Rogan at least once (perhaps more), and I’m sure that Rogan is itching to jump on this Twitter thing. He stays up to date on this type of thing. A Rogan interview will be 2 1/2 to 3 hours, and he’s not afraid to really push for detail. For example, the Shmuckerberg disclosure about the FBI’s behavior in 2020.
I’d watch that!
Wife’s name is NELLIE you say?
Start naming names at DHS and I will start taking you seriously Matt. Until then it’s all just smoke and mirrors
True dat.
Matt is just making his paychecks.
John Solomon anybody
.
How do you slowly and methodically increase the volume of awakened Americans?
At what point do the lights go out and the party is over?
I don’t think it is fast enough or thorough enough and some days it drives me crazy.
What does this group of folks refer to themselves as, “Treepsters” or something like that?
You have to step back and realize you are all light years ahead of the average Joe and JoAnna Q. Public.
Non violent revolutions take time and we are witnessing one, even if it is painfully slow.
Call me crazy. I’ve been wrong before, but I remain hopeful…
Treepers are indeed ahead of the power curve, and remarkably hopeful as well, bienvenue!
Given that one of the conditions for publishing the files is that they be published on Twitter, and yet Twitter is still under control … what is to say we are seeing all the Matt is putting out??
I think someone is getting a giggle out of this.
Say what you will, good, bad or indifferent about Elon & his motives but you can’t overlook that he is red pilling and awakening the masses in a way, I for one, never thought possible. Certainly not to the extent of exposing the corruption in our top law enforcement/intelligence agencies. Very few can do this & live to tell about it.
My theory is that the actors involved have already been indicted and are compelled to cooperate with exposing their crimes to the world at this time. Perhaps even Elon’s activities are of the same sort, although he does seem genuine & congruent in his Twitter responses to date.
The Qatar Investment Authority is the sovereign wealth fund of the Islamic State of Qatar.
The Qatar Investment Authority is one of the major financiers of Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter.
See: https://en.imarabic.com/qatar-investment-authority-co-finances-elon-musk-twitter-purchase-details/
If Elon didn’t know that Twitter was a Cyber Weapon used to manipulate the public, Qatar certainly knew this.
Twitter was used as a Cyber Weapon to inspire the Arab Spring uprisings.
The Arab Spring benefited the Muslim Brotherhood.
Qatar is a major supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood.
“Qatar played a vital role during the frenetic opening months of the Arab Spring. It shaped the emerging narratives of protest through the Doha-based Al Jazeera media network.”
See: https://carnegieendowment.org/2014/09/24/qatar-and-arab-spring-policy-drivers-and-regional-implications-pub-56723
So, Qatar was already using its media outlet Al Jazeera to “shape the narrative” in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood during the Arab Spring uprising.
And now Qatar is a financier for Musk’s purchase of Twitter, a Cyber Weapon for similar surveillance and propaganda.
I ask:
How does Elon Muck plan to make money by allowing people to speak freely on Twitter as often as they like, without even needing to buy a blue checkmark?
Free services such as Google are sophisticated surveillance and information gathering tools, used and abused by governments and police and war departments. You are personally identifiable by your ip address, as well as by the configuration of your browser — even if you don’t sign in to Google.
With Twitter, you sign in and declare yourself. And even if you use an anonymous name, you are being tracked.
Again: why would Elon Musk allow you to use his free Twitter service?
Giving people the feeling that “now you’re free to log on and speak freely on Twitter” could be a ploy to get people to reveal themselves, so the police state can identify them as domestic terrorist risks (such as those recently investigated for protesting the policies of local school boards).
I’m more than very suspicious.
Elon Musk named his child: X AE A-XII.
That is a dehumanizing name for a child.
Musk has a vision of transhumanism that he intends to bring into reality.
His vision for Twitter includes building an “everything app.”
He aims to build a surveillance architecture even more extreme than what exists now, and to profit on that surveillance.
Musk’s recent tweets show that he is now skeptical about the experimental injection, even though he got two of them shot in his arm.
It’s good to allow the cautionary voices about the injection to return to Twitter. But why is he allowing this?
The con man MUST do good things to gain people’s trust. That’s how cons work.
The con man gains confidence by doing good deeds.
My bottom line is: anything that is free isn’t.
And Musk is smart. He has to know that he bought a Cyber Weapon.
I would love to be wrong. I would love for Elon to be using some of his fool around money to bring true free speech to the world because he believes in free inquiry.
But these partial revelations about how the government used Twitter as its propaganda tool . . . are not encouraging.
Greenwald is indispensable. But Taibbi is the real deal (not bought and paid for and no slouch as a journalist. Not as raw and blunt and Greenwald – but does have a BS detector. They’re both on Substack (ie, establishment won’t publish them).
Snowden picked Greenwald, interestingly. Also of interest: A lot of the Snowden dump (maybe all of it) never ended up in a publicly available file for others to paw through. What we have is what Greenwald reported, along with the other journalist Laura Poitras who oddly turned on Assange several years later with sexism charges. Curious. Not taking anything away from Greenwald. Just taking note. Greenwald runs a dog rescue in Brazil and hires homeless individuals as his staff. The guy seems to be an all-around good dude.
Thanks Sundance, nice to know someone has the courage and has developed the strength to see and share the Truth.

get rated “problematic” and you’re really in trouble
I’m committed to being problematic!
Matt just isn’t that sharp.
Reading CTH the past years is almost Black Pilling. Know too much, very little room for hope. But it could be worse.
I’ve decided that before you can really get “good news” — you’ve got to be willing to accept the bad. Living at Treehouse all of these years has gotten me to that point. Some days I’m not able to fully look at it all, then I force myself after I’ve checked in with my Lord and Savior. As our great Sundance says: “The truth has no agenda.”
I continue to pray for guidance for myself and others and peace and love to prevail over the evil that is engulfing the world. The willful destruction of our country is evil incarnate. God bless our patriots and may He guide us to the Way.
My first impression is how can you trust a guy with a hat on and a drum set in the back? Is he gonna break into some Gene Kruppa or what? Good Lord, this guy may get a job as Kamala’s handler.
Listening to this full interview reminded me of another moment in time when during the months leading up to the 2016 election another publisher called WikiLeaks dumped a load of ACTUAL documents from a lot of corrupt gubt or wannabe gubt actors, and a really corrupt dude over at CNN, Fredo Cuomo, cherry picked a few to “explain” to us on air, all the while telling us that we were not allowed by law to read them because we are not “journalists” like him.
And listening to Greenwald’s diatribe about Axios’s crooked and shameless maneuvering to land twatter advertisers reminds me of everything they ALL did to President TRUMP over the years to downplay and belittle him, except now they are applying those same terms to Elon Musk. Train wreck, chaos, unsafe.
The playbooks never change.
This is just another “Durham investigation” that was supposed to confirm or “uncover” something that we already knew and served one goal – Institutional Preservation.
While evil Jack, Parag, Vijaya, Yoel, and Jim are being fired and thrown very publicly under the bus (knowing full well they won’t be prosecuted, of course), Mr. Taibbi and Ms. Weisss have been masterfully protecting the national security and law enforce agencies behind the actual deception and criminal activities. In Sundance’s own words, they “applied the Bondo to the rusted framework of the [DHS] and FBI, and then applied the spray paint by not naming anyone inside [the agencies].”
They are “rebranding” Twitter to stymie the growth of the alternative social media platforms such as Gettr, Rumble, Parler, Truth Social and Gab.
Use Twitter to harm the corrupt interest behind it and keep posting content on Gettr, Rumble, Truth and Parler. Don’t let that government-run fake front company, Twitter, and the people behind it fool you again.
So the Assange guy is also a deep state guy?
This could gain traction. Taibbi is very thorough, and he goes where the story/data takes him. If he’s talking publicly with Greenwald, he’s chatting/DM’ing 10X more. He will very likely go where Greenwald would have gone.
Taibbi still has TDS, but he’s slowly realizing all the actions against Trump were a conspiracy of some sorts. Still thinks the idea that the election was stolen or manipulated enough to have any impact on outcome is preposterous. He thought same regarding Russia! Russia! Russia! about two years ago, so he could be on a 1-2 yrs eye opener path. Talking with GG will speed that up.
During the Obama years we entered into what I refer to as the Obama Matrix.
You knew what truth is and yet this biracial man would tell us he was the first black President and how he struggled. If he spoke it, it was true. The press would not question him.
Even Romney in a debate said “just because you say it often doesn’t make it true”
Loretta Lynch argued if you considered yourself as the other sex, you were. And others had to agree.
Obama’s pr guy, can’t remember his name, was surprised how gullible the press was.
I could go on but it’s important to note many of Obama team with Biden.
Musk at helm of Twitter is contrary to their narrative.
