People often ask me why I seem to highlight datapoints and background events that do not trend to the media-driven narrative priority of the moment. The answer is simple; everything is connected to the next thing that happens. If you do not outline the originating point, the accurate reference is missed when needed.
This approach is why I have focused significant research on Elon Musk’s financial situation with Twitter {GO DEEP}.
The issue of Twitter’s financial status speaks to the motives of Musk that later surface – like his relationship with Fox News billionaire Rupert Murdoch. Once you see the connections, suddenly everything makes sense. Musk and Murdoch have intersecting interests.
Elon Musk is in desperate need of revenue for his social media platform Twitter. By his own admissions, Twitter is currently in the red on an annual basis between $1.5 to $4.0 billion; that may go as high as $5 billion, depending on what happens over the next six months. Currently losing $100 million/mo, Musk is limited on how much he can pull from his other companies to support Twitter, and with $1.5 billion in debt service alone on the $12.5 billion borrowed for the Twitter purchase, Musk needs an income stream quickly.
Advertising revenue has dropped 50%. This is the motive for Musk to hire Linda Jaccarino, the former head of NBC Universal advertising, to bring urgently needed revenue to a platform currently considered too extreme for the DEI-minded corporate advertising executives. Musk is also captive to contracts with Bezos’ Amazon (AWS) and Google cloud services for platform data processing support. Those very expensive contracts – $1 billion and $2 billion respectively – do not expire until 2025.
In short, Musk needs revenue. For Twitter, this reality drives his decision-making. Enter, Rupert Murdoch.
Billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch owns Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Post and Harper Collins book publishing.
Murdoch wants to control the outcome of the 2024 election and strongly supports Ron DeSantis on behalf of his Wall Street allies.
Murdoch financed DeSantis through the Harper Collins book deal, and Murdoch has turned his media outlets into advanced PR for the DeSantis campaign.
The Murdoch media approach includes lengthy and friendly broadcast Fox News appearances, interviews and pundit advocacy, while the print side spins favorable stories. The Wall Street Journal and New York Post are doing the same. It is a full-court press to support DeSantis on behalf of the interests of Murdoch et al. Keep in mind, the RNC has given Fox News control over the kickoff GOP debate.
♦The Alliance of Interests – Elon Musk needs money; this is not in question. Rupert Murdoch, supporting Ron DeSantis, wants control of the 2024 election outcome; also, this is not in question. These two facets form the baseline of a common interest.
Elon Musk launches the DeSantis campaign via Twitter Spaces – not accidental. Musk then uses his platform control mechanisms to amplify DeSantis and counteract the strong and visible platform support for Donald Trump. What outlet pushes the narrative that flows from the operation? Rupert Murdoch.
NEW YORK POST – Donald Trump’s 2024 election campaign’s claims are already being hit with Twitter’s new “community notes,” which fact-check or offer context to dubious posts. In May alone, Team Trump and their surrogates were slapped with community notes on at least seven occasions — and were often cited for posting flat-out lies. (read more)
Christina Pushaw is a registered foreign agent working for the DeSantis campaign.
Ms. Pushaw went from working in Ukraine, for Volodymyr Zelenskyy, directly to working in Florida as Ron DeSantis’ press secretary.
Pushaw was the person who gathered the “influence operation” over the past two years on behalf of the DeSantis 2024 operation. That operation was visible in 2022, denied in 2022, then finally admitted two weeks ago.
Now working for the DeSantis campaign, Christina Pushaw – a fellow traveler from the George Soros network and schooling – has organized the same type of influence campaign used in Ukraine to support Zelenskyy, only this time she is exploiting social media and specifically Twitter. This is why she spent so much time recruiting ‘influencers’ in 2021 and 2022, and even tried to deny she was doing it.
Put it all together, and what you see is Rupert Murdoch as the financial lifeline (with a common interest) for Elon Musk who desperately needs money that does not and cannot come from his other businesses (Tesla, SpaceX etc.).
Murdoch, supporting DeSantis, also had a problem he was willing to remove on his Fox News network. Musk needs content providers as he needs a way to increase his viewership and money. Murdoch axes Tucker Carlson. Where does Carlson surface? Twitter! [NOTE: Except now I think Carlson has caught on to the play.]
The Twitter platform has now evolved to become the influence operation for Team DeSantis- with groundwork seeded by Pushaw. The throttling of pro-MAGA, and boosting of pro-Meatball, is now becoming increasingly obvious.
The Twitter ‘Community Notes’ issue is simply a very visible reflection of what people have been talking about for several weeks. This is why it was loaded into the media cannon on Rupert’s platform, The New York Post. Everything is connected to everything else, and once you see the strings on these marionettes you can never return to that moment in the performance when you did not see them.
Musk needs revenue; this is not in question. The question is now, how urgently?
The alliance between Rupert Murdoch and Elon Musk isn’t a conspiracy or wild imagining, it is simply the logical outcome to a common interest. Elon needs money, Rupert wants DeSantis and control of the 2024 election. Everything else is a matter of mutually aligned support.
♦Last point – My long-standing suspicion is, the people who organized Ron DeSantis appear to have convinced the governor to run in 2024 by telling him that Lawfare was going to take down Donald Trump. That’s why his handlers pushed the Florida governor into a bunker after the August 2022 FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, and then relaunched the national campaign immediately thereafter. {Go Deep}
Ron DeSantis appears to have enrolled in their agenda under the assumption that he would NOT have to actually run against Donald Trump, but would instead be able to just pick up the MAGA base after Trump was removed from the 2024 campaign by Lawfare operations. Pushed to accept this prediction by a wife desperate for her own sense of power, DeSantis appears to have believed the DC connected team that made these assurances. Now both Ron, and to a lesser extent, Jill, are stuck hoping they are not wrong.
Rolling the dice on a bet against Donald Trump is never a good career strategy. Factually, that approach has been proven bad-bad, ju-ju for anyone who tried.
Keep in mind, all the never-Trumpers and gleeful influencers who saw the dollar signs and joined on to DeSantis bandwagon, are hitched to the same outcome.
They are in a mutually assured destruction (MAD) situation. If the Deep State and Lawfare doesn’t take out Donald Trump, their DeSantis operation goes over the edge into the bottomless pit of irrelevancy.
Thus, the DeSantis campaign, and everyone attached to the support thereof, will become increasingly desperate as Lawfare starts failing.
The Bank of China is the second biggest player in the 13-bank News Corp syndicate after Bank of America, which is contributing US$111.7 million. The Bank of China is massive — it has an estimated US$3.7 trillion in assets and is the largest and oldest bank on the Chinese mainland.
China has their own set of serious structural problems being ignored by most. Check out China Observer for example on YT. There are others as well but you can find them quite easily.
Sundance, keep shining light on reality, that’s all we ask. You are one in a million.
I just caught on to China observer . I watched the 3 gorges dam and remember all the concerns in the 2020 flooding with the dam moving and slipping .
Is it a credible source ? I have know clue . I looked at several of there articles which seemed credible .
.
2020 China flood – all true. Many deaths, crops destroyed.
Cannot say as to China Observer – never heard of it before.
South China Morning Post, out of Hong Kong, has been good in the past.
Two good, reliable sources are Michael Pillsbury of the Heritage Foundation and Gordon Chang.
Some good, reliable sources are China In Focus, NTD, China Uncensored, and The Epoch Times. Many at these sources are ex-Pats.
Those should get you started. Also check the military channels. They have current events which are increasingly relevant for what’s going on today. There are a couple more news sheets but I’ve forgotten their names.
Have fun, Be Blessed.
Scratch the SCMP since the Chinese takeover of HK
On Y-T another good source is Lei’s Real Talk.
It is a great source. Have been watching it a long time.
I’m fairly sure that China Observer is a propaganda organ for Taiwan, but I watch them regularly. I think they provide some very good insights. Often on the social conditions, more than the data. Nobody has reliable hard data on China….probably not even the CCP.
Truth can be propaganda just as easily as falsehoods. Fallacious propaganda is the enemy not all propaganda.
Ha, except Xi don’t care about pesky structural issues. All he cares about is world domination.
You’re almost there and who are the businessmen, the most powerful on earth. Those with the largest amount of money. And how would I know this because I have read Revelation 18. It’s in the Bible.

I also heard it expressed that after DeSantis’ announcement twitter released pro DeSantis Twitter bots to attack.
Yup, probably traced back to a Ken Cuccinelli operation to bring in BOT Farms to go after pro Trump posts and posters on Twitter which was also employed by the Clinton campaign in 2016! I began to notice it about two weeks ago when a couple of my posts got hit with negative comments from posters who had only joined in the last month or so or who had these weird personas and had very few followers or were followed very few people!!! 🤔
They don’t dare come out of their fake spaces, fake books, and fake nooses.
You heard it here first.

lol
I see the same pattern of posters on Facebook. No followers. A blank home page. Some days they all show up at the same time with a similar message.
We had what I believe is a more updated sophisticated one on here about a week ago.
Wasn’t logical, tried to persuade only certain regulars here in a limited part of the comment section, waiting on replies to counter in that limited area when same arguments were being all through the comment section, deflected, projected, twist words/statements by reversal, deny statements it made or claim taken out of context, and when pointed out in detail became real frustrated and would lash out, subtly insult and claim victimhood.
I regularly, on and off, have exposed Fed assets and influencers on here, along with others, specifically and especially Maquis.
And we have both noticed a significant uptick in activity lately.
This one was different than those before.
It may very well have been human, but upon reflection, there were a lot of red flags to at least suggest that it may have been a bot (possibly AI enhanced).
I remember many months ago when Musk bought Twitter, that he didn’t realize how many bots were on Twitter. Now with more info coming out it becomes much clearer how thing evolved!
Many thanks Sundance! Can’t say I ever saw a blogger with such insight before. Dots are a helluva lot easier to connect here! One of the top 3-5 sites on the internet.
Agree as always. This particular article is one of his best.
IMO, every comment should come from a real person, no BOTS allowed. What would that do to the political climate? Right now, our political system is geared to the CONTROL of many by very few.
NeverBack Bots

I saw one of those bots on American Thinker yesterday She started out with the usual disarming dribble about how she voted for President Trump then launched into her attack on Sundance and PDJT. Watch out for more of them. Her avatar began with the name Signe.
Signe: A nickname for SigInt which is short for Signals Intelligence?
Just leave the state run platform already
Amen! You don’t have to be signed up to read it
Would have been a blow to the deep state cabal if all of MAGA left Twitter when Trump did. Now they trying to trick people to come back or stay on.
Why would anyone still be on Twitter?
Where does Musk’s billions come from?
What entity controls the narrative there?
Same “folks” who fund Musk.
Why in the hell do people willingly keep poking the tiger?
Nobody (not even on CTH or anywhere else) is going to sway me with opposition that conflicts with my own research and reason.
Not like we used to. Yes, you can see peoples pages and see their posts and replies but previously I could search topics and/or check into trending hash tags to see what was going on without an account but not anymore, not since Musk bought it.
That’s what most people did when Ruport MySpace made BFF with Tom.
Will Trump be saved? Will he be able to win through all this? Why doesn’t he expose Elon Musk & the whole charade? I’m worried…😒
No, don’t worry. Instead stay current. Support groups like TPUSA with Charlie Kirk and Scott Pressler. Share this story on your conservative social media sites and your friends. Let’s get out of our comfort zones and do our part. Don’t forget to vote with your dollars and stop watching Fox News. I live in California and in our small county we voted in MAGA people. Now we have libs from out of the area trying to recall those candidate’s because they voted out dominion election machines. What’s going on in your states, counties, cities?
I was born in CA but left in 2014. So now my new Gov. is the disgusting Katie Hobbs…cheating is the only way she got in unless there are really that many stupid people in my new state!
Found this in the AZ MAGAHOOD… on the way to MAGAVILLE.
“I was born and raised in Arizona… that’s all you can call it, it’s a cheat.”
@8:35 (rally interviews)
https://rumble.com/v2r9ww0-kari-lake-defend-america-rally-live.html
Agreed. (Love Wendy Rogers.)
WE KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT THE HOBBS-GOBLIN! She is a big fat liar and cheater.
And she’s stupid as a box-o-rocks (which we have plenty of out here)!
It’s the bots!
Yes…Kari Lake was ahead by about 11 points in the weeks before the “election”.
Heh Sounds like my county Shasta !!!! Lol I got involved locally with Patrick Jones , Kevin etc. Go Shasta !!!!
Looks like a few of us Jeffersonians are here. I need to change my name, now that I escaped Santa Cruz.
I met a former Shasta “Democrat” party chair and he trashed FJB so bad, I thought I was conversing with PDJT!
We love Shasta!
There was a recall effort being manned by a Democrat couple here in Cochise County Arizona. They and their minions wanted very badly to make County Supervisor Tom Crosby pay for wanting to do a hand count of the 2022 ballots. Their plan failed for want of enough signatures. Our local Leftist paper had numerous articles saying everything negative they could drum up.It was so obvious (and disgusting!!) whose side they were on. They even had announcements about when and where to go to sign the petition. Then afterwards they had photos of the event in the paper. Pretty disgusting!!
Now evidently it is actually ILLEGAL to have a hand count because the freaking legislature passed a law against it. One dirty hand washes the other in UNIPARTY World.
How can you make it illegal to do a hand count? On what premise? That seems extremely illogical for an election? How did they get away with that? That’s like making it illegal to have an election. Is that next?
We need to start a Treehouse club in Shasta. Probably the only county in California to return to paper ballots!
After the Supreme Court ruling on abortion, I was amazed to see masked protesters on Cypress street across from civic center. They started to get into my lane, but quickly had a change of heart, because I wasn’t slowing down. In a past life, I drove through LA during the riots, in a rag top and became quite adept in avoiding obstacles that might impede my progress.
The people in California are not as Blue as the rest of the country thinks. I just don’t know how we overcome the cheating—state wide.
It will backfire. They will indict Trump. But he will become more popular as a result. People get it. Not totally, but enough to see that they are all after Trump.
I think you’re right. That’s why the polls keep showing Trump up top.
It’s true that most people don’t know what’s going on, but they do know that everyone [in politics] is after Trump, so he must be doing something that’s upsetting the apple cart. And everyone hates those rotten apples right now!
People know that something’s not right.
Common sense and the intrinsic wisdom of crowds.
As one listens to Devin Nunes in his various interviews over the years, he always reminds us, very appropriately, that the truth about the Russia Collusion Hoax was known to all in 2017. Five years ago! Yet we’ve been trapped in a “get-Trump world” ever since and, maddingly, without remission, even to this day.
In other words, the same media diet of propaganda in the following 5 years since Crossfire Hurricane was launched continued to be consumed and believed with just as much self-righteous leftist fervor as it had in the beginning, as if in an iron grip the whole time. So what changed? And no, it was not inevitable that it would change over time, and no, it was not greater conservative media reach. Quite the contrary, the truth began to seep into non-conservative media content with huge heterogeneous audiences such as Tucker Carlson’s show, and, of course, into Twitter, which delivered the first major blow to the leftist narrative with the incontrovertible evidence of Deep State’s actual existence, as well as its nefarious involvement in politically motivated censorship.
We must also include Bill Maher’s snippets as well given that a lib as committed as he has always been, AND CONTINUES TO BE, can’t express his heresies (see his recent interview with Jake Tapper!), without people noticing, and wondering “what the hell is going on?”
None of this changes Sundance’s take about Musk, Murdoch and Meatball (Three M!) with which I fully concur. However, I, more than most here at CTH, harbor a fear that someone will offer Musk 20B for Twitter and that he’ll jump at the offer. Whoever that buyer would be (Murdoch himself?) would likely not have a hundredth of Musk’s commitment to free speech, as fragile ($$$$) as that commitment might be!
When someone in such morally bankrupt times as these can say the following (paraphrasing): ‘My idea of free speech is when someone you hate the most is also allowed to express his opinion,’ well, this is something you have to take notice of. It doesn’t happen every day, and, yes, it may be very temporary. But the truth has now been set free and will be very difficult to recapture. We’ll see how far it can go on its own, and for how long.
They’re not after him. They’re after you.
He’s already exposed twitter was a waste of money.
Twitter is like Target, they just sell overpriced rainbow vaporware.
THEY’LL Run Run Run, As fast as they can. They can’t catch me, I’m a MAGA fan. God Bless Donald Trump!!!!!!!
Why should President Trump waste his time and energy taking an active role in exposing anyone, when given a little time, all the enemies plans unravel and come to light?
President Trump is a patient man who allows the enemy to destroy itself. We should learn from him.
@kelly Why not (Trump) try to win Musk away from Murdoch, if all it takes is money? After all, Musk may rather be on our side. He did make a dent in Jack’s coffee shop, didn’t he?
I think that might be a bit naive. There is not ONE Musk company that’s not intricately tied to the US government,
Recall, VSGPDJT declined the offer to return to Twitter.
This guy is, of course, still banned . . . almost everywhere.

“In the middle of the night” – Billy Joel?
LMFAO
Referring to the movie “Snowden” where the gentleman in Switzerland who is a banker gets maneuvered into a predicament by the CIA agent that Edward Snowden is assisting . We see Edward Snowden learning about the vast storehouse of information on whomever is being targeted, so that a “hook” can be found to be used. In the nightclub where the banker is visiting with the CIA agent and Edward Snowden, the banker drinks too much and he confides to Edward Snowden that his life has turned “topsy-turvy” since we met.
However they got their hook into Elon Musk in order to maneuver him, certainly doesn’t it all seem to have that inexplicable vibe, that “topsy-turvy trajectory” that I would call it, where some things just do not make “sense” to outside observers.
I say, I will keep praying for Elon Musk for whatever dear God and his Guardian Angel can do to liberate him to turn it all around. He doesn’t seem like an alcoholic or drug-user type and he feels confidence in his ability to study, learn and come up with solutions. He is intelligent but now he can’t fight his way out of this paper bag or black bag they have thrown over him. Has he been threatened in some way? Personally, the idea of the Neura-Link seems pretty creepy and personally, I would never buy a Tesla automobile – I would like to have one of those satellite phones, though! How do his aspirations with his Space program coincide with the PRC when apparently they want to dominate Space?
I grew up with my brothers, parents, watching every launch of anything from the 50’s on through to actually getting to the moon in July 1969. My Dad’s company was involved with the cable system for the gantry for the Saturn launching missile (he also provided cable for Vandenberg). It was exciting – a natural form of adrenaline!
Can he just walk away from Twitter and start his own form of Twitter if he is truly wanting to ensure free speech? Can he declare bankruptcy or is he afraid everything and everyone will get hurt everywhere else, that it wlll all tumble down?
Could we not all agree in that a Twitter being used as a form of free speech while depending on the use of government facilities which have been paid for by the American taxpayers for decades but have been captured by the Intelligence Community for it’s own purposes, not necessarily for our national security. America needs to take back control of the equipment which the Intelligence Community has usurped for purposes that would be anathema to our nation’s founders, those who wrote the Constitution. It would be as if they took over the national highway system, the infrastructure and said that access to these roads will be by OUR permission but they have no right to it.
I think it would be logical to say that Twitter as it is presently set up IS in itself a bankrupt concept; first of all, the Deep State DOES NOT own the equipment nor does the World Economic Forum or the People’s Republic of China or some billionaires in the hedge-fund industry – who knows but it does NOT belong to them, the server equipment.
So, if Elon Musk can bring this to a juncture where he does our country a great favor, where the discussion is advanced far and wide, that the equipment is infrastructure paid for by the American people and any NSA or CIA or FBI use or abuse in order to abridge the freedom of Americans is a bankrupt and nonsensical idea.
The hook that Elon has to deal with is the Chinese Communist Party that control the whole outcome of Tesla’s success in Asia as they are bankrolling his whole operation in Shanghai!!! 🤔
Amazon (AWS) and Google Cloud provide the data processing platform for Twitter as Sundance noted, so they own all the hardware!!! 😑
Elon has linked up with Rupert Murdoch. Being in bondage to an evil man is a loss of freedom.
Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of BONDAGE.
Galatians 5:1
Why do you think “the Deep State DOES NOT own the equipment”? “Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop” would suggest otherwise. I fear that EM is under the control of bad actors. It is my hope that he can extricate himself from these people.

You bring up an interesting point suejeanne. There’s an interesting video/photo of Elon Musk in a Hollywood condo elevator with Amber Heard hanging on his arm pleading her case during her problems with Johnny Depp.
suejeannr—
….for the love of God!
Musk is brilliant, charming, and witty.
He is also financed by those very entities who want to destroy a free America and Donald Trump. He is bought and paid for.
Elon Musk is a WEF graduate, liar and a fraud. End of story.
Folks,
I have a simple, dumb question to ask: who’s FUNDING all these splitter candidates? Who’s bankrolling them? Where is their funding coming from? I bet that the answer would be VERY interesting! Things that make you go hmmmm…
Vivek says he’s funding his campaign so he doesn’t have to be led by big donors. If we’re not pretending, Vivek appears to be the real America First alternative, not the Fugazi from Florida.

They can waste as much money on legacy pretenders, MAGA Masks, and NeverBack Repeaters as they want. The phony horse-race is even more pathetic then it was in 2016.

Agree. Great to see a Vivek vs Kennedy debate. A most unusual outsider perspectives for USA future w/o two party(#Uniparty) agendas
Vivek is funding his campaign from money in part generated from the mRNA vaccine industry. One of his companies sells lipid nanoparticles for use in the next generation of mRNA vaccines. He has ties to Pfizer. He has ties to George Soros’ brother’s family foundation… there’s more, but for starters he is not imo who people think he is.
Keep one jaundiced eye on ‘Swamy.
EEE…..so the face that Musk paid too much for Twitter is going to haunt the USA for years to come?
Good,
Not surprising at all. It doesn’t take a genius to see how Twitter was used once before to target specific speech and using fact checks or in this case a ‘community note’ (Same damn thing IMO) under new management to mask the purpose.
Why was it so damn important to get everyone back on twitter. Yes it’s a trap, yes they want to do a better job of hunting their opposition.. Mapping who knows who.. who is working with who.
Yes musk is compromised. The play is that it’s because he’s backed himself into a corner $$$$$ wise. He can’t save all of his Government sanctioned and gov funded investments without playing ball and he has no choice. Ahh.. but he does… The money play is nothing more than an excuse that a majority of the plebes will accept as honest. As I always like to say .. “Slaves are going to slave.”
This is the flipping of the coin. This where the supposed two parties or Uniparty play their game. The supposed left gives way to the supposed right so they can install another globalist bush. It’s all kayfabe.. this is how they control the pendulum..
Cancel your Social Media profiles.. Stop supporting big businesses. Start your own small business and market it against their agenda. Arm yourselves and if they do come for you. Stop going willingly to the slaughter house. Make them pay for it. Every step of the way. Peace is a lie, there is only strength.
“Mapping”
Power Mapping. Extortion Rackets Better? Six ways to Sunday.
“A tool to not only identify who holds that power, but, crucially, who holds influence over that person, and, therefore, who to target with your direct actions”

This.. Indeed my friend is how the woke armies function. It’s nothing new though with the advent of Social Media #11 the methods and details are available to a wider range of people.
In a street fight you hold your guard and test your opponent and their reactions to find their weakness #13. When you think you have a good idea on how to dismantle them you strike. Sometimes however the best way to dismantle them is #19 when they strike. All of this is calculated within portions of a second that feels like forever while you try to suppress the effects of adrenaline running through your veins.
In this political fight decisions and actions are not taken within the moments between seconds. It’s calculated long in advance. With purpose and planning. Supported by NGO’s, federal and state agencies and boosted with the help of DOD level AI.
I’ve repeatedly talked about #16.. I usually say the phrase ‘you don’t really have a choice’, and although many here argue with my statement, it’s true. Being stuck between two options neither of which work to your favor is not in fact a choice at all.
An example of #23/24 tying into #27-33 is when thegatewaypundit recently released an article about a known Antifa member currently in DC jail Landon Copeland making him appear through the Right sided media as a victim and far more middle of the road than they really are. All while giving away nothing on his former comrades.
#28 can be seen clearly as they push their trannisaries in your children’s schools. This is both a means of demoralization and push themselves as a victim and to play the game using their radical fringe to shift the overton window.
Much of their agenda is what I have been calling Demoralization 101 for at least the last decade or more. The real demoralization though isn’t just the media making you look bad. They always do that.. But those beloved boys in blue with that badge and those oaths they swore to uphold. Scott Smith in Loudoun County and everything you read about it is a prime example. While those badges, judges and state agencies defend the left at every turn they bring us to my last gripe. Every single one of us was raised and told over and over that the Military serves the constitution, that the police or badges are mostly good people and take their oaths seriously. The real demoralization is the realization that both the Military and most badges follow orders and their pensions.. oaths be damned.
You hit the nail on the head with this statement:
“#28 can be seen clearly as they push their trannisaries in your children’s schools. This is both a means of demoralization and push themselves as a victim and to play the game using their radical fringe to shift the overton window.”
Yes, they are totally demoralizing us while at the same time making themselves look like victims.
“Why was it so damn important to get everyone back on twitter.”
Imho, replace the word twitter, with plantation, and you have your answer.
Yes, but it’s more subtle than that.. It was a trap meant for the masses.
In the movie Inception. They invade your dreams and create a safe.. you instinctively place your secrets within this safe. But this safe is not really safe from them. It’s all part of the trap.
It’s the same with social media. Not just twitter but even sites like linkedin help in the effort. They create the space.. but you you fill it with your activities, your family, your friends, your work, your loves, your hates. Your thoughts and feelings..
From this they can map how best to target you.. Or to your point, how best to keep you on their plantation.
Agreed, thrawlbrauna.
The lovely irony here is that Murdoch is now starting to have his own issues with an unstable platform of companies especially with the loss in viewership that FOX is now suffering which means, even though he loathes the idea, he will have to start covering President Trump and having more programming with him like the Town Hall you saw the other night! I also believe you are right about Tucker Carlson getting hinky about the Musk/Murdoch situation which is why his lawyers have become aggressive and hostile with FOX in their attempts to force a separation deal which allows Tucker to pursue his own choices!!! 🤔
Boycott Twitter
….and FOX. If the truth bothered them with Tucker there is no truth at FOX.
If what you say leads to Trump actually being the republican nominee and voter data manipulation leads to his defeat again in the end we lose and they win.
Am I wong?
That depends on what you think winning looks like.
Romney 2.0 = Jobama 4.0
My opinion only.
Was Trudope in power in 2012? Voter machine fraud being seen back then.
Voter machine fraud = Dominion ( or prior companies before buyouts).
Dominion= Canadian HQ. Trudope/ Canada/ Dominion has been their
ace in the hole under this supposition.
Dominion= “Being ruled over”.
These bastards ALWAYS like to have their little inside jokes .
An admittance to what they are really up to that they will deny
to their deaths.
There is no legal path to victory for anyone other then Trump. That being said however, DeSantis still has a better chance at gaining more real votes then the installed President Branden did in 2020. 82 Million!
Brandon is gonna get 100 million votes this time… in Maricopa!
Make Elections Fake Again? Tabulation Tampering Better

Wow! Good one, thanks.
Tsk Tsk Elon. Influencing elections are we now? Isnt that what you were saying directly that the Twitter 1.0 and the FBI and media were doing against Trump and other candidates they didnt like? How are you any better?
No honour among theives.
I was going to give you a chance because you released all these internal emails and messages showing how the game is rigged. Turns out you are the rigg master puppeteer
“By his own admissions, Twitter is currently in the red on an annual basis between $1.5 to $4.0 billion.” You’re too good an analyst to keep getting this so wrong. He literally said Twitter is about break-even at the moment. He’s been saying that for several months. I just don’t see how you can keep getting this so wrong.
BTW, I said Community Notes would be abused by the Never Trumpers on the left and Never Trumpers on the right to target anyone opposed to DeSanctus. I was right about that.
About to vs. actually. If in Musk’s own words Twitter “is about to”, then at the moment….it isn’t. Words still have meaning. Given what has transpired, you take Musk at his word if you like.
He said it himself in his own words during comments with the Babylon Bee. Go watch it.
Sundance provided a link to “The Babylon Bee” interview with Musk (no analysis required), which, btw, “The Babylon Bee”
– Didn’t they just fire someone…🤔- has made unavailable because of “Muh Copyright”).
Please, provide a link to..
“He literally said Twitter is about break-even at the moment. He’s been saying that for several months.”…
Inquiring minds…
And all that.
TYIA
So where’s elon’s buddy Tucker in all this? Haven’t heard a word from him since he announced his deal with elon, rupert’s buddy. That doesn’t sound right.
I thought Tucker was backing Trump. Is twitter going to let him do that?
So many webs being woven.
Been wondering about this too. I expected FAR more hype. Bu crickets instead
Yep!
Occam’s Razor would support this hypothesis.
Numquam Ponenda est Pluralitas Sine Necessitate!
(Paraphasing: When presented with competing hypotheses about the same prediction, one should prefer the one that requires the fewest assumptions)
You forgot the biggest grift of all. Government Contracts. We neva actually said who we want you to back. We have learnt not to use electronic blackmail.
Government contracts, the threat without electronic footprints.
Sundance – your editorials are too verbose.
No one and I mean no one cares what you think. We are grateful for the deeper explanations that provide clarity and insight. Go read somewhere else
Well said.
Scotty, beam him up.
As I’m sure you’ve heard more than once; don’t let the door hit you in the ass upon your exit.
If the DeSantis operation and financing goes over the cliff, what happens to Elon’s desperate need for funds?
Not unlike someone who is drowning, the desperation will increase; As will the risk of trying to save them.
When the emergency rescue efforts to resuscitate the DeSantis campaign fails, Elon has a couple of other possible revenue streams to tap.
“Free Speech” Elon was just over in China …greeted by high level officials with great fanfare. He’s heavily dependent on his China relationship for his Tesla operations. China could step up as Twitter’s sugar daddy in return for more narrative control on Twitter. Or our federal government, which has funded Elon’s other ventures, may backdoor financially prop him up in return for . . .
“The road to hell is paved with good intentions”
Money is the mother’s milk of politics. (Jesse Unruh). DeSantis is gorging himself while he still can and then he will fade away into irrelevancy.
They are out of their derned minds if they think the meatball is ever going to be president lol
I guess they are thinking “Well if the Democrats could prop up Slow Joe…”
CTH takes such liberties with the truth, it can’t be believed on any stated facts, so the reader has to verify everything in the story.
“Elon Musk who desperately needs money that does not and cannot come from his other businesses (Tesla, SpaceX etc.).”
CANNOT? That’s not true.
Musk just became the richest man in the world again.
But, CTH makes it sound like Musk is in financial trouble just because of Twitter, and is desperate.
The richest man in the world must depend on the likes of Rupert Murdock for Twitter’s survival?
I still like CTH, some, because some of what CTH exposes is true, but only after I have to verify it being true.
I’m a staunch conservative. But that doesn’t mean I can’t see yellow journalism when I read it.
I’m glad you added that “ staunch conservative “ appellation at the end , but you forgot to add “and I voted for Trump ( intentional Omission of ‘President’ ) twice! . But that …” Now it is a good , complete trolling comment (sarcasm)
Typical troll
This was pathetic.
“CTH takes such liberties with the truth, it can’t be believed on any stated facts”
😒 🤔
You said…
“Musk just became the richest man in the world again.”
From the link…
https://www.forbes.com/sites/richardjchang/2023/06/02/who-got-richer-poorer-elon-musk-narrows-lead-richest-person-softbank-surges-chip-ipo/
“The uptick in Tesla shares pushed Musk closer to overtaking the world’s current No. 1, according to Forbes: LVMH chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault, who is worth an estimated $219.9 billion.”
…
“Musk has narrowed the gap between him and No. 1 Arnault to just $13 billion, partly because Arnault’s net worth is down by $2.6 billion this week. Tesla shares rose 10.8% since last week thanks to enthusiasm for the electric automaker’s partnership with Ford to share Tesla’s 12,000 fast charging stations nationwide.”
🤔
Interrogative..
Can Forbes be trusted?
He said it himself, in the recent interview with the Babylon Bee. Go watch, its cited.
Sundance, I went back to your post and clicked the link.

Zzzzz….
Game of Thrones
That’s what our US political system is now.
I’m bringing another option in that I know for fact – Many GOPe want Biden re-elected. They have said as much for at least a year and a half. I firmly believe McConnell wants Biden re-elected. DeSantis is mostly a tool.
My prediction: no matter who wins in 2024, Trump or DeSantis, assuming even THAT happens, they will be no more than a minor speed bump in the agenda of the actual government which, as you should have learned by now, is a club you are NOT a part of.
Then I would imagine the single most prudent thing you can do at this juncture would be work on your aim.
It’s hard to come to a conclusion other than this. Trump was president for 4 years… now here we are. What can he do this time that’s different?
Twitter hosts DeSantis campaign launch. Twitter launches Community Notes fact check of Trump tweets. Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, owner of Twitter, has benefitted from a 100% rally in the electric carmaker’s stock from its low in January and become the worlds richest person again. Coincidence? Can he once again afford to carry Twitter expenses?
I will let it all burn to the ground before voting for Ron
There is no way on earth MAGA nation is going to vote for Ron DeSantis if Lawfare takes down Trump.
We will simply write in Donald Trump.
“Put it all together, and what you see is Rupert Murdoch as the financial lifeline (with a common interest) for Elon Musk who desperately needs money that does not and cannot come from his other businesses (Tesla, SpaceX etc.).” Musk does NOT need a new shareholder and he does not need another loan (interest rates are higher now). What he needs is to grow Twitter. That fact does not connect with the dots outlined here.
Growing Twitter, without offsetting the cost of growing Twitter, only increases the cost of maintaining Twitter. Every tweet that does not bring in $$$ above the additional cost to facilitate said tweet is a drag on the bottom line.
Musk needs a product…. something to SELL. Something to get 👁👁 going to Twitter. The more 👁👁 on Twitter the more likely advertisers will send $$$ to place ads on the Twitter that link back to their website.
However, advertising “Mercantile” ain’t gonna pay his (Contractually BINDING) AWS bill.
Musk needs to tap into something BIG. Something controversial. Something emotional. You know… BIG!
And, imho, right now, the BIGGEST thing that will get 👁👁 to Twitter in the future and, BIG $$$ into the Twitter treasury NOW (Did I mention NOW), is BIG 2024 POLITICAL $$$.
And, that means…
Compromise
And here we are.
As I’ve said all along, they will do anything necessary; any thing, to stop DJT from being POTUS again.
“There are Trillions at stake”
– Sundance
Far worse has been done for far less.
Disclaimer: I like Elon Musk, and I am very impressed with what he has been able to accomplish. He’s a smart guy.
Given that: Ok, so Musk is a liberal. I don’t have a problem that he prefers and supports RDS (although I think it is a terrible choice). He is entitled to his opinion.
I do have a problem if Musk attacks DJT, though; bad idea. I would be VERY disappointed in him.
Surely a guy as smart as he is can see the effect of such a move and will act accordingly.
My accent is on understatement.
WELL……if DeSantis were to SUPPORT Trump and give him 100% collaboration, then Trump would very likely bring him in as VP and prep him for eventual presidency.
Not that they would, but IF they got Trump out of the race, a loyal DeSantis would have INHERITED the Trump base.
But, he’s not that kind of guy, so he takes the path he has taken.
RonCon is pulling his handlers cart down the path they have chosen.
RonCon is only interested in getting to the carrot before the stick gets to him.
A draft horse that can talk.
If the RonCon crew thought “Inheriting” was a possibility if they played their cards right…
Why have they played their cards as they have?
Only communists rely on fact checks, moderators, and censorship to win an argument. It is the easiest way to spot Decepticon infiltrators.
Broke, that’s why I’d think Community Notes would backfire because we’ve become sensitized to these marxist methods. But then I’m not on Twitter so I don’t have a sense of how the non-woke side of the Twitterverse reacts to Community Notes.
Somehow, even with my in your face maga profile, I managed to get authorized on Community Notes. I use it to support notes that call out false and misleading information of all types. How many of “me” (maga community noters) there are, I have no idea. But I see a LOT of approved notes putting woke bullchit on blast. It’s certainly better than the pre-Notes, no-recourse censorship pre-Musk –whatever his motivations are.
What the globalists couldn’t change via the education system, blackmail or corruption, they accomplished using corporate financial coercion via “ESG”. Why did it become so powerful? They laid the groundwork brick by brick. Indoctrinate children, college students, invade mass media with societal alteration, perversion, make TOLERANCE a near cult. Framework a set of guidelines (demands) that make any resistance to TOLERANCE rules, a la ESG”, damaging and risky. Corporations HATE risk. THEN publish SCORES relative to ESG, and use advertisers as your hostage to PUSH ESG ACCEPTANCE.
THIS is what Musk didn’t count on when buying Twitter.
I suspect DeSantis didn’t count on his candidacy being essentially launched and managed by massive globalist interests (those on the corporatist side of the ledger), with the intention of having a clear alternative to the (planned) damaged and eliminated Trump. His ego only saw what he could do (which can and could be a lot of good things) verses what was being done to him.
Ukraine agents have been working with many including the installation of the 3 in Michigan.
One was directly connected to the Michigan AG and governor and there was a lawsuit filed in 2018.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/09/06/dennis-lennox-michigans-democrat-attorney-general-dana-nessel-caught-up-in-election-manipulation-allegation/
The non opposition by both sides to all the $$$$$ being sent to Ukraine might
lead back to something that hasn’t been suggested. This article , along with Sundance’s
continual exposure of Christina Pushaw, make me think of something else altogether.
Blackmail. How absolutely CROOKED have we discovered Congress and the “Judiciary” to
be over the last few years? What’s the chances that crooked individuals would be investing
in something where the fix is on, guaranteed big pay out from the get go? Especially if
there was a cover story that the fate of the free world was dependent on defending this one
particular area at all cost?
So, Ukraine snares Lady Graham and many, many , many others early on. Then, they call in
what’s due. Unlimited billions. Time after time, after time, after time.
Make sure that the protection (literally to the big boys, none to their own citizens in harm’s way)
money keeps getting sent. Or we have the prior receipts ( from when they initially got snared)
to out you.
Curious that everyone keeps mentioning Snowden. I wonder what he heard about Ukraine
back in the day.
So the DeSantis camp is waiting for an indictment over the Mar-A-Lago documents, figuring that will sink the good ship Trump. I, too, have been waiting for that shoe to drop and wondering whether it hasn’t already done so due to timing or to a weak case. I don’t think the indictment itself would have any effect now, because the political persecution has become pretty obvious, even to some non-supporters.
Jill who? I think Ron’s wife’s name is Casey….
Jill “Casey” DeSantis…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casey_DeSantis
From your link, Ad rem…
“Jill Casey DeSantis (née Black, born June 26, 1980)[1] is an American former news journalist, television show host, and the current first lady of Florida as the wife of Governor Ron DeSantis.[2][3]”
…
DeSantis is an advisor to her husband’s 2024 presidential campaign.[15]
🤔
(former News “journalist”, television show “host”, campaign advisor)
Is THIS is why they pushed her into the spotlight and RonCon into the shadows?
I think she was doing the pushing.
Though Team Meatball surely sees she is more competent and thirsty than he.
Ron’s next book will be called: “The Courage to be Phony”
NO ONE EXCEPT
PRESIDENT TRUMP!!
deranged desantis is nothing but a rino traitor.
I thought twitter was read for amusement only. Kind of like the NYT, WP and other agent provocateur.
Bank of China, formerly Lehman Brothers….
You offer rare insights. Thank you.
When I get a text from RNC, Pence, Haley, Di Easter… I tell them that I funnel my through MAGA/Trump, and that unless Trump is the candidate, Ill be skipping this election cycle.
The RNC is not the Party, and much less the voters. Its a self-serving game-fixing service.
Maybe we do need to burn down the village to save it.
If it smells like bad fish, is usually is. I can’t tell what this smells like, but I am not sure whether the wind is blowing in my direction on this.
Remember this next time they say if you don’t like your rights trampled on build your own.
How can it cost that much to run twitter?
Who are the ones that stopped? These are the companies most likely working with the WEF/Leftists/D’s/globalists [or whatever you may call them] and they should be watched closely.
There have been many allusions to Casey DeMeatball being a power hungry squatter. Will someone please provide the background on this? I can’t find any serious information on her. Thanks in advance.
