This one’s about COVID information censorship.
The link to the twitter thread itself is here.
I may write more about this later tonight or perhaps tomorrow. Right now I’ll add that the clampdown was so widespread and so unreasonable even at the time it was happening that it was obvious something like this was going on. But I don’t think that back then I suspected the amount of direct government involvement in the social media censorship, although it would not have surprised me and does not surprise me.
One more thing – I think they should have paused for the holidays and waited till after New Years to drop this stuff. Christmas season is a very low traffic time.
[NOTE: I’m purposely keeping blogging a bit lighter than usual today. I plan to get back to the regular volume tomorrow. One of the issues I plan to write about tomorrow is the dismissal of Kari Lake’s lawsuit.]
This one and the two following tweets involving the ever involved James Baker are particularly hilarious.
The laughably ridiculous Yoel Roth almost comes off as the reasonable one in so many of these exchanges.

‘Optimism isn’t misinformation’ LOL.
Unfortunately I don’t think it matters when they release these at this point because the propaganda media is never going to cover it.
Musk said there will be more in the near future involving doctors from Harvard and Stanford (Kuldorff and Battacharya I would bet).
Griffin:
It’s a given that the MSM will ignore it or “debunk” it or say it’s meaningless.
What I’m referring to is the fact that a lot of people on the right, or in the middle, who might otherwise pay more attention, are busy right now.
neo,
Yeah I know, and they have timed these strangely for sure.
I think a couple have been late Friday and Taibbi did one the other day on Christmas Eve. I have seen some reporters for right leaning sites grousing about how they have to work covering these things at inconvenient times while the propaganda media reporters just ignore them.

The reason, in a nutshell, why “Biden” had to hijack the country, steal elections (while planning to steal all future elections) and lie about EVERYTHING:
“The Left’s Big Pitch: Embrace A Worse Life In The Name Of Equality”
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/lefts-big-pitch-embrace-worse-life-name-equality
Nope, not an easy pitch to make(!)
If “Biden” is to succeed “he”‘s gonna have to go full Authoritarian/Totalitarian (while branding “his” policies as “Democracy at its very best”…or something along those lines…).
Concluding grafs:
‘…Paul Waldman of The Washington Post posited this week that Biden had launched an “economic policy revolution” rooted in fighting “inequality.” This would require “more active government intervention in the economy.”
‘ And we will all learn to love such intervention, because it will be done in the name of a higher value: equality. Not equality of rights, but equality of outcome; not equality of value, but equality of resources. The problem with this philosophy is that it removes the incentive for all that creates prosperity: work, creativity, thrift, responsibility. And removing that incentive means more misery for everyone.’

What was the purpose of the censorship?
The complete shutdown of any alternative therapeutic approach revealed that finding what actually worked wasn’t a consideration and the newly revealed data reveals that they knew that the vaccines were of at best limited effectiveness.
So what was the purpose of the censorship? What did the NIH/Deep State intend to gain?
1) Instilling deeper compliance within the populace?
2) Enriching Big Pharma with its incestuous political donations?
3) Preparation for a more serious engineered pandemic?
4) All of the above.
Barry Meislin,
There is no tyranny that cannot be ‘justified’ as motivated by a concern for the greater good.
Nor will any amount of equality of resources result in equality of outcomes.
The purpose?
Save the planet from the ravages of too many people?
Never let a crisis go to waste? (all actions which entrench totalitarian government are inherently good)
Playing God with other people’s lives is how lefties get their jollies. And nothing is quite so much playing God like refusing treatment for sick and dying people.
Power corrupts. It’s also addicting. We had local county health boards declare an emergency in order to seize power. They kept the “emergency” in place for over a year. Unaccountable, clueless medical types making economic and business diktats. Drunk on the power. Terminal hubris.
On the one hand, it is a kind of unforced error to have these items coming out during the holidays when interested citizens have such limited bandwidth. On the other, maybe Musk et al. feel as if they can’t afford to wait too long because of the potential for shenanigans that could ultimately prevent them getting the material on the record at all.
“Terminal hubris.”
Stan…my on-going complaint is that in the case of NIH/China-flu…the hubristic have not experienced nearly enough terminality. The rest of us far too much.
“… what difference at this point does it make?”
We are a completely corrupt country from top to bottom. The grave is dug, the dead body is interred. We’re only waiting for people to realize that all that is left of the USA is to throw the dirt into the hole.
Jack Wayne:
Because FL, TX, ND, SD, WY are just the same as NY, NJ, CA, OR, WA, or wherever. Not a dime of difference. Just roll over and die?
Whatever.

Philip Sells:
I wonder how much material they have in the pipeline. Maybe this is just the beginning!
The Left’s answer to everything is to make people give up things that make life better or even worth living. Climate change? Stop using cars! Wuhan virus? Shut down the country! I don’t remember who said this, but if you want to solve something make the solution better and cheaper than what’s causing the problem. Give people something instead of taking away. Our local natural gas company runs all their trucks on natural gas. Set up diesel vehicles to run on vegetable oil, the way Diesel intended.
All those on the Left need an intense course in real rational critical thinking. Or perhaps risk management.

If you value your life, you’ll put that packet DOWN!
El Gato is back on Twitter, Xmas Day, same day twitters Covid censorship dropped, I found his substack full of good covid info.
He is as already mocking Taylor Lorenz’s gas lighting on the covid censorship. Very nicely memed:

I look forward to neo’s post on the Kari Kake lawsuit. It’s progress it actually got heard. Result I’m not surprised. My pillow’s ceo, Mike Lindell, was funding the lawsuits. Where was the gop party? Rhonda Romney labeled her a loser. Hmm…
Mike Benz’ thread on “#FauciFiles” (Twitter Files 10), critiquing David Zweig’s inadequate presentation, just asking questions we all ought to ask. https://mobile.twitter.com/MikeBenzCyber/status/1607592593059094531
A sample:
There’s much more down the thread.
Trump was trying to stop a “run on the banks” problem. Altogether different from what Fauci and the rest of the leftists did.
Ray SoCa:
Do you mean Ronna Romney McDanniel regarding the snark about Kari Lake being a “looser?”
