The instant a wealthy entrepreneur announced his desire to purchase a major social media platform, the progressive left panicked. When Elon Musk decided to buy Twitter, it ignited a firestorm of reactions from the mainstream media and progressive politicians.
This initial response seemed bizarre. Why would those who “supposedly hold free speech dear” basically go totally ballistic when a “free speech absolutist” wants to own what many envision as a massive digital town hall? The reaction seemed the opposite of logical.
In fact, the way the mainstream media and progressive talking heads began attacking Musk, it was downright illogical. Once Musk took over as the “Chief Twit,” we soon started to realize why liberal progressives, especially those with high-profile government jobs, came unhinged.
There were “skeletons in those Twitter closets,” so to speak. With a new sheriff in town, anyone who had anything to hide concerning the perceived or actual suppression of free speech would be on the hot seat. That seat has become scorching.
The initial “skeletons” involved how big tech colluded with governmental officials to censor critical stories ahead of the 2020 presidential election. Essentially, Twitter, in league with the federal government, put their thumb on the election. It was rigged.
But as Musk’s worker bees burrow deeper in that “closet of Twitter skeletons,” more startling revelations are uncovered. Many aren’t the least surprised. However, that doesn’t make what’s being discovered any less serious.
American First Legal (AFL) is a nonprofit organization that battles government corruption, among other patriotic causes. The AFL recently released a trove of documents obtained from litigation against the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
The lawsuit alleges that the CDC colluded with big tech companies, especially Twitter, to censor the public conversation about COVID-19. Twitter set up a “secret portal” for government officials and other “stakeholders.”
It was called the “Partner Support Portal.” This secret channel allowed hidden interaction between Twitter and government officials. By design, the government was able to control the conversation about the pandemic.
The CDC could label anything that contradicted its tyrannical mandates and lockdowns as “misinformation.” As part of this agreement, the CDC, and other government officials could request blocks, bans, and outright account suspensions.
This is beyond unbelievable. The way Twitter and other social media platforms colluded with secret government officials is criminal. It may be the most egregious violation of the First Amendment in U.S. history.
Other documents showed that Facebook had also applied a similar strategy to censor speech that discussed the possibility of rigged elections. The government and big tech used social media tools to subdue and control society.
According to the AFL, “This production also reveals that the U.S. government was actively working to socially inoculate, or brainwashing, the public against anything that threatened its narrative.” This is “big brother” using mind control and censorship to manipulate Americans.
The scheme used multiple options for users to suggest “misinformation.” However, this wasn’t a plan to combat actual untruths. This was a scheme to control public conversation. The notion of it should astonish any American. We’re just surprised it took so long for the scam to be exposed.
