Twitter owner Elon Musk went full wolverine earlier today during remarks at the ‘New York TImes’ DealBook Summit’ on a wide-ranging interview including anti-semitism, an advertiser boycott, Tesla, AI and more.
I have been skeptical of Mr. Musk, particularly over the mechanics of his purchase against the backdrop of DHS/FBI control elements; his remarks today are going viral. WATCH:
Despite continued reservations about Mr. Musk, I appreciate and respect his candor.
In response to a media lawsuit for information being withheld by the DOJ, a heavily redacted search warrant was revealed {SEE pdf HERE}. Within the warrant issued to Twitter-Xcorp, Special Counsel Jack Smith demanded the information on every account that engaged with the Donald Trump Twitter account.
The ridiculously overbroad warrant and demand for information, was initially fought by Twitter; however, it appears the courts ultimately demanded compliance and Twitter acquiesced. That is a stunning amount of information included in the search warrant.
(New York Post) – Special counsel Jack Smith’s comprehensive search warrant for information related to former President Donald Trump’s Twitter account sought the 2024 Republican presidential primary front-runner’s search history, drafted tweets, blocks and mutes.
The special counsel also demanded a list of all devices used to log into the account and information on users interacting with Trump, heavily redacted court filings show.
For several years many people have made inquiries about CTH content not being available on their devices. I have always responded with the same answer, check your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and if you are using AT&T or a regional subsidiary therein, that’s the source of the issue; it’s not a CTH technical problem.
For what follows, keep in mind that AT&T is not just an internet service and cell phone service provider. AT&T is also Turner (CNN) and Time Warner (HBO) etc. {link} Also you might notice the CNN aspect in hotels and airport broadcasts. Additionally, pay attention to the segment underlined below that applies to all other providers that join in technical collaboration with AT&T to provide services. Meaning it’s not just AT&T that ultimately is the issue here.
Lastly, if you have followed my research outlines on how the Obama administration weaponized the Patriot Act to target political opposition in 2009 {Go Deep}, please note the date underlined on page #2. This public-private partnership should make a lot of other things (previously outlined) make sense.
Media Matters is one of the vilest constructs of the severe left-wing lunacy of David Brock. For years the leftist group has been manufacturing political attacks against conservatives and centrist websites.
Most recently, Media Matters participates in the demonetization and deplatforming agenda within Big Tech by constructing false stories pushed by their rabid ideologues. They then take the false information to advertisers and use their rabid supporter files to threaten the companies. However, finally someone is going to take them to task as Elon Musk is suing them over their malicious and false story about X platform advertising and manufactured adjacencies.
Many people are now becoming aware of the severity of self-serving corruption in/around the institutions that frame our government. Considering that Sundance has a target on his back; and considering that it is only a matter of time before that targeting gets ugly; let me remind everyone of just how severe the issues are confronting our nation.
Having met with many of the top-level key DC players (including Durham inc) in the “Spygate” investigation/review or (__fill in_ the blank_with whatever name you need), here’s the ugly truth. The staff of the legislative bodies have/had no intent to actually facilitate any sunlight upon the FISA, DOJ-FBI corruption that took place over three years.
How do I know that?
Well, first having sat in a room with the legislative staff, top people who actually write the briefs and inform both congressional representatives on House Committees and Senate Committees, including the chiefs-of-staff for the chairs, it was clear they did not even know the information from within their own research when spread over time. Accepting this reality leads one to a natural conclusion… they don’t know, because they choose not to know… & they choose not to know, because everything is a pantomime for public display.
Glenn Greenwald and Tucker Carlson sit down and discuss the status of the current “war” in Ukraine. The subject of the reality around the war comes as a consequence of several media outlets who have begun writing about the State Dept and CIA looking for an exit from World War Reddit. WATCH:
According to sources who are speaking to NBC News, U.S. and EU officials are gently beginning to talk to Ukraine government officials about what steps might need to be taken to bring an end to the Ukraine-Russia war. Obviously, for those who do not pretend, we all know the decision to end this conflict comes down to the USA telling Ukraine President Zelenskyy to open peace talks with Russia.
Several people have pointed out this conversation between Joe Rogan and Twitter owner Elon Musk. There are a couple of interesting aspects to the conversation; one of the more interesting is not generally being noticed.
The primary point, raised by many, is how Elon Musk discusses the scale and scope of U.S. government involvement in the operation of Twitter as an information and discussion platform. Almost all of those making this note are unfamiliar with our multi-year research and outlines long before Elon Musk entered the picture.
As affirmed during the conversation, the FBI and various government agencies, under the auspices of the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS), were in a direct relationship with Twitter offices to control information on the platform. This is not a surprise to CTH readers. The instructions on content removal, content moderation, and demands to remove accounts, were part of the DHS broader initiative to control information. This part of the discussion begins at 05:46, prompted. WATCH:

While the govt involvement in the operation of Twitter is interesting, readers here will not be surprised. However, there is a statement by Joe Rogan, at 11:40, that seems to fly under the radar, even to Elon Musk, that deserves an equal amount of attention.
In response to Musk saying the ratio of censorship on the Twitter platform was a multiple of 10 times greater for “right-wing” or centrist views, Rogan ponders how and why accounts like the Taliban were not removed. Thus, yet again, the issue that brought me to the political sphere many decades ago surfaces.
The Taliban, as a totalitarian ideology, is not on the right side of the political continuum. Totalitarianism, or the presence of big oppressive government, falls on the left side of the political continuum. The far-left is totalitarianism. The furthest right is the absence of government. This is an ideological mistake that happens frequently and needs to be addressed when the mistake is made.
I have no idea whether this report is accurate, but given the nature of events and revelations in the past several years – this seems plausible, possibly likely.
In the aftermath of the 2020 election outcome, several people on the more libertarian/conservative side of the political spectrum, were concerned about being targeted by an Obama third term. As the rather revelatory story is told today, that provided the motive for Peter Thiel to cozy up to the FBI and avoid being a target.
Business Insider is reporting that Billionaire PayPal founder Peter Thiel became a “confidential human source” for the FBI in 2021. The outline claims that known FBI informant Charles Johnson brought Thiel into the relationship. The exact specifics of what Thiel did for the FBI are unknown.
Overstock founder Patrick Byrne was/is also an FBI asset, using his money in conservative circles to support entities of interest to the government. Byrne provided the seed money for Dave Rubin’s Locals platform. Robert Mercer did the same with Breitbart, and Rebekkah Mercer did the same thing with Parler. Billionaire Paul Singer did the same thing with The Washington Free Beacon.
Interestingly, Peter Thiel has a networked relationship with several people of “conservative” influence – including Tucker Carlson. It is strongly suspected that Thiel is one of the financial backers of Tucker Carlson’s new media venture. {Go Deep}
For his latest episode and discussion, Tucker Carlson outlines how and why the U.S. Government is targeting President Donald Trump in a full-frontal effort to remove him from the American political landscape. {Direct Rumble Link}
Tucker is joined by Victor Davis Hanson who expands on the insight to explain how we are in a revolutionary phase in American politics. Every government weapon is being deployed against President Trump to take his wealth, destroy his family, remove his political viability and lock him in a prison cell. WATCH:
I wasn’t going to write about this, but so many requests and contacts have come in, and considering that my background conversations with people are leading to actionable positioning, that I feel it is only fair to share publicly what I am analyzing privately.
The predicate for all assumptions is several fold: {Go Deep One} and {Go Deep Two}. Most of the financial groundwork for analysis already exists. In summary, Elon paid $44 billion for the platform. Current valuations are around $15 billion. Current debt service is $1.5 billion/yr (roughly $100m/mo). Current expenses include $100m/yr AWS, $100m/yr Goog cloud (both contracts), +payroll and misc.
Approximately 9 months ago, Musk had $1 billion in cash reserve for Twitter. The burn rate deficit was roughly $100m/month. That put timeline estimates for an inflection point on/around October 2023. It is now October 2023.
Approximately a week ago, Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino made a bold statement. Yaccarino stated that from her review of the current status, Twitter would start to turn a profit in the first quarter of 2024 {link}. However, with $100 million per month in debt service alone, this statement seemed too far of a stretch. At pre-musk levels of revenue, maybe; but that $1.5 billion debt service is a heavy nut to carry.
Timing – Remember, it’s October. Last Friday, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) gave special regulatory approval to Bill Ackman’s firm, Pershing Square (hedge fund), for a new investment vessel called SPARC, whose purpose is to invest in private companies in order to take them public. As noted by CNBC, “In a SPARC, investors will know what company the financing vehicle would be used to merge with before they have to pledge their investments.” The financial mechanism avoids some of the issues with typical IPO’s.
•It’s October, inflection time. •Yaccarino says a strategy is underway for profitability in Q1 2024. •Ackman gets SPARC approval, and then suddenly:
