Michael Shellenberger on Joe Rogan

The recent Joe Rogan podcast with Michael Shellenberger is well worth your time. It's scary how far censorship and control by government interests had gotten in this country. Thank God Elon Musk bought Twitter and exposed the rot.

Twitter Files: Pfizer and White House Coordinated Information Suppression

Alex Berenson has a new Twitter Files up showing the coordination between Pfizer board member Scott Gottlieb and the White House. The company selling mRNA shots and the White House forcing Americans get get them - repeatedly.

Denying natural immunity is not "following the science." It's propaganda - for profit.

Kudos to Alex Berenson who went from being banned on Twitter for telling the truth to being part of The Twitter Files (also for reporting the truth).

In a related story - Twitter is now the number one app on the Apple Store for US news. Elon Musk is making Twitter the place to go to get news (not spin).

- Very good summation of how the government used Twitter to ban scientific debate on Covid that contradicted official CDC policy. Replacing science with policy and stifling debate will have lasting effects for decades.  

How Twitter Rigged the Covid Debate

Twitter suppressed true information from doctors and public-health experts that was at odds with US government policy.

Elon Musk says, "Much more to The Twitter Files: Covid Edition than this introductory thread."

Admire the strategy of The Twitter Files. First they showed how Twitter was putting their thumbs on the scales of public debate for one side of the political aisle. Then they showed that in many cases they were doing so at the request on the government (in clear violation of the First Amendment). And now they are showing how the government was censoring any information (no matter how true or scientifically sound) that was at odds with the official government position when it came to Covid. And Elon is saying even more is coming out about how the science was suppressed at a time when people needed good information to make life-changing decisions.

It wasn't just the Biden Administration - it was the Trump White House as well. It wasn't just Twitter either - it was also Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and others as well.

When the Biden administration took over, its agenda for the American people can be summed up as: Be very afraid of Covid and do exactly what we say to stay safe.

This agenda included asking Twitter to ban certain voices such as Big Pharma and Covid vaccine skeptic Alex Berenson. Thank goodness for the Joe Rogan podcast. Seriously. Rogan gave Berenson a platform so people could hear what he had to say, which was reasonable, informed, and as it turns out true! And thank goodness for Elon Musk who reinstated Berenson as one of his first acts as new owner of Twitter

Musk should allow Berenson access to all the internal Twitter information and allow Berenson to do a Twitter Files of his own. 

This is the biggest scandal in the world and yet the corporate media refuses to cover it. They can't stop the signal though. They can't stop the signal.

- Secret back channel between FTX and White House closed day after FTX declared bankruptcy. When they warned crypto would be used for illegals activities - this is what they meant. The corruption is just blatant at this point. 

- No science at all involved in recommended alcohol intake limits. Don't trust any government recommendations when it comes to diet anymore.

Twitter Files - the FBI, Hunter's Laptop and Election Interference

Matt Taibbi has a supplemental to his Twitter File about the FBI and election interference. Basically Twitter was telling the FBI and the IC (intelligence Community) that Twitter wasn't finding much of any foreign propaganda or influence in the upcoming 2020 lection. The FBI basically told Twitter to find some!

Michael Schellenberger has Twitter Files 7 where he documents a coordinated effort by the FBI to suppress any news about Hunter Biden's laptop (which we now know the FBI knew was genuine). This was the very propaganda and election influence the FBI was pressuring Twitter to find. 

Disgraceful. The FBI was much more trustworthy when they only hired Mormons and Catholics from Boston College.

There're Coming for Fauci

Not just Elon Musk and Twitter going after Anthony Fauci.

Rand Paul will be going after him in the Senate, "Fauci's resignation should not prevent a full-throated investigation into the origins of the pandemic. He must be required to testify under oath regarding any discussions he participated in concerning the Wuhan lab leak. His policies destroyed lives." 

And in Congress a bi-partisan group of lawmakers are demanding answers about taxpayer funded torturing of dogs he approved. The man tortured puppies.

Bari Weiss Twitter Files Reveal Systematic 'Blacklisting'

Reason does a nice job of laying out how Bari Weiss' Tweet Thread shows how Twitter employees shadow banned users. 

You can read Bari Weiss's Twitter File thread here.

A few observations on the Twitter Files:

• What was done in the darkness is being brought out into the light and what it's showing is not a cold sore - it's herpes
• As both Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss primarily publish on Substack - that platform is perhaps the biggest winner here. Substack will shortly become the most trusted source of journalism in the country
• Elon Musk, however, wisely stipulated that whatever information is found must first be published on Twitter which I'm sure is driving up engagement (and trust) on his platform
• What's being exposed at Twitter (pre-Elon) is still happening on Facebook and YouTube. Keep that in mind when engaging on those platforms
• There is so much that needs to be exposed and will be exposed that this will be a long running series of "Twitter Files"
• Know many are anxious for the suppression of COVID related revelations to come out but I think Musk has rightly prioritized exposing how Twitter suppressed information and how the government was sometimes behind that suppression. That needs to be shown first and foremost before other issues are addressed.
