1. Twitter … doing the cancellation of The 1st Amendment that the Federal Govt. just can’t do.
   At the hand of The Deep State, 4th Branch unelected government

   1. I guess somebody needs to clue them in that doing so at the behest of the government IS a violation of the 1st Amendment.

      1. Bingo.

         The “its not just freedom of speech, its private free enterprise” ship sailed long ago.

      2. The thing is, during WWII the government did the same thing – “asked” Hollywood to produce propaganda films in support of the war effort and to produce patriotic pro-war films, and Hollywood complied.

         If that was okay, then so is this; if this isn’t okay then that wasn’t either.

         If your stance on the government “asking” private industry to produce pro-government messages depends on whose ox is being gored, it’s not based in Constitutional law.

         1. Wow.

            Great entry in the “False Dichotomy Contest”, thanks.

            Just re-re-reading “Animal Farm”, and Orwell’s (ironically) suppressed introduction that wasn’t published until 1971 said basically the same thing, but it was the Left that didn’t want him to “pick on” Stalin because he was an “ally”. The government of the day reviewed the book, his publisher said “they don’t like it”…and it was published.

            And just happen to be reading a diary of a woman who went through the Blitz. Said that she knew there was hundreds of dead in one small town because people talked. Officially: “There were some casualties”.

            Would you say that was prudent, or would you be better with the government aiding the Luftwaffe with their war plans?

         2. That’s a strech. Hollywood cooperated with actors and fictional stories for the entertainment.
            Twitter files are about suppression of truth.
            Caligula is correct…false dichotomy.

         3. “The thing is, during WWII the government did the same thing…”

            During WWII the government armed citizens and sent them to kill Germans and Japanese.
            Those were exceptional circumstances. The country was at war.

   2. One simply cannot get around that pesky First Amendment.

   3. And the FBI was paying them too

2. Every single person in government who had their hands in this should be put on trial, televised, and jailed (of course if found guilty). It’s the only way to stop it.

   That, or nuke it from space.

3. It is now apparent to even the slowest troll that Obama’s Net Neutrality plan has been partially implemented. It is beyond comprehension that what is transpiring in America today is the culmination of the American Democratic plan of the 1930’s. The progeny of those Democrats that helped finance Hitler’s rise to power are now in almost total control of the West. Start connecting the dots and even the most ignorant can see what is going on here. Tiabbi and the rest of the true journalists will eventually be accorded a place in history alongside the White Rose Group.

   1. “Frankfurt School”

4. Watched the whole two and a half hours. Riveting theater.

   Democrats are desperate incredibly rude boorish scum.

   The witnesses were great.

5. You vill have zee correct thoughts! You really didn’t vant to think for yourself did you?

   Sincerely, your benevolent Gestapo 🙂

6. Government is a monstrosity. It’s why its societal monopoly on coercion must be severely limited to at most, policing, courts, and military. Beyond these legitimate uses, it grows to feed itself at the expense of liberty preferring looting and thuggery. Democracy is no safeguard but instead a facilitator as they become corrupt, in conflict, are fleeting, and always end in bankruptcy and despotism. At today’s levels of leviathan, nothing and no one is safe from their tentacles. They have once again achieved the levels of depravity of what prescient fiction writers warned of and evil authoritarian regimes demonstrated albeit in grander scale decades ago.

7. Note the careful packaging..
   And the careful avoidance of Facebook,Apple or is that Octopus?
   Twitter is the bit player here.
   The other quasi government “Internet services” have been doing the same or even worse..
   “Misinformation” a claim made by serial liars.
   Hypocrisy this rank needs some of our older and cruder methods of rewarding skanks.

8. I’m in awe of the change in narrative since Elon Musk bought Twitter.

   Incredible what freedom of speech will do… note to Canada’s own imbecile Trudeau and his media censorship bill.

9. It’s like a bloody onion…when you peel off one rotten layer you find another one underneath it…..the Deep State is getting very nervous because the light is getting too intense. Right down to the “judicial” layer. It’s hard to believe the level of corruption in the U.S. government….although I suspect you will find something similar in Canada. And you know what is really funny is the stupid entry in “Wikipedia” about “Deep State”….it says “According to an American political conspiracy theory, the deep state is a clandestine network of members of the federal government (especially within the FBI and CIA ), working in conjunction with high-level financial and industrial entities and leaders, to exercise power alongside or within the elected United States government.” And that definition is proving to be EXACTLY true. That’s why the roaches are animated.

10. On both the bright and dark side.
    Today’s the first day I’ve ever read two different respectable congressional witnesses whilst holding pictures of smoking gun like evidence describe the US government and MSM using the terms “Totalitarian” and “Stasi, East German behaviour”

    Reduce the Staz , er uhh State.
