Twitter – The New Wild West for Free Speech

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

All eyes are on Twitter after Elon Musk acquired the company for $44 billion. Musk took Twitter public but plans to make it available to shareholders in another five years as he believes he can reach one billion subscribers by that time. The eccentric billionaire began his takeover by bringing an actual kitchen sink to Twitter headquarters – and he indeed threw out everything “but the kitchen sink,” as the phrase goes.

First, the original board of misinformation was fired. The former CEO and many top-level executives were laid off. Twitter engineers were replaced with Tesla engineers who began working on changing the algorithm. That specific algorithm has been used to silence conservative voices and anyone going against the general narrative.

President Joe Biden was fact-checked for claiming that his Inflation Reduction Act would crack down on 55 corporations failing to pay their fair share in taxes. Twitter added context to his post and explained that only 14 of the 55 companies had earnings over $1 billion and would be the only companies eligible under the new tax law. The president or left, in general, would NEVER have faced a fact check. Musk even personally replied to a tweet from Hillary Clinton in a mocking way and obviously did not have his account banned. The left may still bash the right too.

Could you imagine if the algorithm that stifled COVID-free speech was alive and well from the beginning of 2020? People may have seen a different side to the story.

Some are worried that hateful speech will prevail on Twitter. After a certain derogatory word began trending, engineers discovered that it was part of a “trolling campaign” where around 300 bots were responsible for promoting that word in an effort to discredit the new platform. Bots or fake accounts will face bans, but people may speak freely on the platform.

Former President Trump is permitted to rejoin the social network, but he said he would stay on his Truth Social. It will be interesting to see what happens on Twitter now that all voices can freely speak without punishment.

Seems like Gab.com is the only censor free site like TBP. Musk is a deep state stooge or front man.

If you look at who is Musk’s censorship board, or whatever it’s being called, you couldn’t draw another conclusion.

Jordan Peterson is being trotted out by Ben Shapiro to be one of the “right wing” minds that will presumably be on the Twitter mod council. This way they can say they have a dangerous, extreme, hardcore “far right” guy on their board while actually having a benzo-dependent left wing moron that bloviates in a way that makes midwits think he’s a deep thinker. The media successfully made Peterson a fake boogeyman to the left so that conservatives would naturally counter and defend Peterson as “one of theirs”. They’ve been building this for years. It’s very clever. It’s also going to get Coninc to get onboard with what Peterson is putting forward. Charlie Kirk, Posobiec, Gorka and that whole crew will tell their audience that anonymous internet users are their enemies etc etc.

They want to stop free speech at all costs. Watch and pay attention to who is championing Peterson and echoing his sentiments of doxxing anonymous internet users, and calling us “non human”. They are your enemies and are running an op.

Peterson and Shapiro are as fake and gay as any Judaized Huguenot ever was.

Jordan Peterson wants an effective end to anonymity on Twitter. In other words, he wants to give American citizens in 2022 less freedom than the authors of the Federalist Papers, collectively writing under the name Publius, had in the 1700s. I’m not a big free speech guy any more, but I firmly support anything that makes Jordan Peterson cry. Besides, if Musk agrees, it will destroy the platform.

2016: Andrew Torba starts Gab.

2018: Gab is de-platformed and de-banked. Gab recovers and creates its own data centers.

2022: Gab leads alt market, has a maretplace, TV, chat and GabPay all on a tiny fraction of the resources as others and user supported.

2022: Elon Musk spends $44B to be told what to do by the ADL and Zionists around the world.

This is the story.

My guess is that probably 2/3 to 3/4 of US Citizens and Taxpayers have absolutely zero idea the level of censorship that our ‘leadership’ has and will continue to enact — at home and abroad … especially in the EU and New Zealand and Australia …

Megaupload: a story worth remembering…
Second: some years ago I looked into Kim Dotcom’s business model with his Megaupload venture. The details of it have meanwhile receded into the memory fog, but Megaupload was such a phenomenally compelling and revolutionary concept that if it was left to the free markets, it would have completely upended the whole publishing, arts and entertainment industry, probably to the greatest benefit of both content producers and consumers. It was also legal. But as it happened, the industry and western intelligence apparatus co-opted New Zealand’s law enforcement agencies and illegally and forcefully destroyed Megaupload.

I know Elon Musk is not the bringer of True Justice to this world. He might be the tool of the WEF, the Rothschild family or whoever. Granted.

He has though, or has the potential to level out the political playing field a bit. It may be a small thing or maybe temporary but it gives us a better chance now to have our say. I set up an account.

The Left didn’t start off with all this power. They wormed their way through our institutions, arts and civic life. They corrupted our minds and shut our side down. It took generations. Personally I feel the first moral blow came when prayer was taken out of the classroom. Now, we’re strangers in a strange land.

I think we should try and make Twitter a real town hall. It won’t be perfect but maybe we can infiltrate the platform just like they have been doing all these years. Musk is doing something right. They wouldn’t be screaming bloody blue murder otherwise.

LOL. They screamed about Trump, too (and continue to do so).
Reverse psychology and kabuki theatre much?

Erisa,
in the main, I agree. But no, they did not corrupt my mind. And, I have no use for or desire to use/be used by ANY socialist media, EVER.
Peace, L.

While White Christian people, culture and tradition are attacked non-stop on twitter -even encouraged by the twitterati – let someone ( i.e. fake account) other than a black drop the most used word in the black lexicon on twitter and bedwetter tools like Martin lose their shit….it’s the attack of the bots….reeeeee … when in fact is was most likely just your average Free Speecher testing the waters to see if it was really OK to come back in, and found , it was not.

Also, any doubt Deep Shekels isn’t behind this “free speech” Twitter retread….but to what ends .

If hate speech is to be banned on any platform, I would like to be part of the committee that decides the definition of hate speech.
