Twittergate Part 1
This story is too long for a single article, so the second half will follow along tomorrow.
broke the most important story of the year today on Twitter.I will break it down into constituent parts here to discuss it, as the traditional media figures are trying to create a partisan smokescreen to cover up their participation in what I can only describe as bipartisan fascism, the collusion of actors within the United States government and private media to deprive Americans of their rights under the color of law.
You can find his twitter, and most of the source images used for this story, here. The rest are sourced from elsewhere on Twitter.

The story Matt Taibbi broke is about the US Executive Branch, and it’s career employee’s, abusing their power to censor not only American media but even individual American citizens under the color of law, and to deprive them of their rights to free association, and speech free from government interference.
Most of the media coverage of
’s story has been about the Hunter Biden laptop story, despite the fact that Taibbi specifically mentions that both parties engaged in this abuse of the Bill of Rights, though democrats had more back channel connections to Twitter to leverage in these abuses of power.You can see this very specific claim here, along with another tweet reiterating that this is NOT a partisan issue, and that the government is engaged in widespread domestic violations of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

There has also been a curiously strange amount of what appears to be a coordinated talking point campaign from major media figures, entertainers, and others who occupy public space through legacy media. They all published tweets using the same phrasing, that being, “PR work for the world’s richest man”. It is, of course, totally possible that thousands of famous people came up with this inane critique independently and at the same time.
Here is a random Twitter user satirizing and documenting this strange astro turf that Twitter users were witness to:
And here is
again calling out this surreal and Orwellian corporate assault on independent journalism that threatens their power and influence:
Here is Matt himself thinking fondly about all the work he still has to do to fully break this story:
Founder and former CEO of Twitter Jack Dorsey, who encouraged Elon Musk to buy Twitter to rescue it from it’s corrupt Board of Directors, was apparently kept in the dark about much of these goings on, but would often intervene when he learned of a customer being censored by the United States government. He would later be pushed out of the company, although he was invited to remain a shareholder in Elon Musk’s twitter following the buyout, and he maintains some ownership of Twitter today.
