More Twitter files
Discussion and links here. An excerpt:
Ironically, the documents tweeted by Taibbi also indicated that the increasingly cozy relationship between agencies in the federal government and Twitter made some on the Twitter side uncomfortable in part because they were starting to be flooded by requests from multiple departments and were having problems keeping up with it all…
Not surprisingly, Twitter was also receiving requests from powerful figures in Congress to ban the accounts of their critics. Then-Intel Committee Chair Adam Schiff’s office requested writer Paul Sperry’s account be banned ostensibly on “QAnon conspiracy” grounds. In reality – and as the NY Post also observed, Schiff likely targeted him primarily because Sperry’s reporting at RealClearInvestigations shined an unflattering spotlight on Schiff’s “whistleblower” Eric Ciaramella…
The extent of the connections between government – particularly Democrats – and Twitter was extraordinary.
How long until someone named to lose their Twitter account sues one of these government representatives?
The First Amendment provides that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise. It protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Sure seems Congress representatives did just prohibitive rights
There is a long history of congress persons, overwhelmingly Democrats, making requests for onerous actions in the bureaucracy. Demanding an IRS audit has been a relatively common request.
What I don’t understand is why we don’t see a great many Republicans doing this. There are many possible answers including the one that they are doing it and it is routinely ignored by everyone including the media. The seen and unseen problem.
However, this new wrinkle is really or allegedly a severe crime against the Constitution.
Heads must roll. Nothing less will suffice.
A failure of severe personal consequence, ensures the eventual abolition of the current American government. Banana ‘republics’ never last for what can’t go on, won’t go on. Corrupt governments have expiration dates and the longer it goes on, the more certain that the end will be a violent one. As corrupted power will use as much force to cling to power as its able.
Here’s a convenient one-stop-shopping summary of the Twitter Files to date in what I consider human-readable form, as opposed to the dreadful Twitter format:

“Every Conceivable Wing of Federal Enforcement” Demanded Censorship of Conservatives and Accounts Critical of Democrat Propaganda
Behold: Full metastasis of the Obama tumor.
“Obama tumor.”
Hmmm. You certainly have a way with words….
And indeed, it looks like it’s time once again to haul out that gushing Mad Maxine cameo featuring her “Wow, I mean Obama’s so fiiiine…and his database of EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE is simply awesome” extravaganza (Trigger Alert: High. Fascinating and at the same time terrifying with off-the-charts YUCK factor!)…

(OTOH, who needs a massive Database when one has Twitter, FB, Googld, YouTube, etc. in one’s pocket….Ah right, Obama’s a perfectionist’s perfectionist….)
Whew, after that Mad Max exhortation, a little levity is definitely required….
For the sake of one’s sanity.
For the sake of recovery.
Here’s just what the doctor ordered:
“LA Times: White supremacy is a rainbow coalition”—

H/T Instapundit.
If a Republican was President and he, the FBI, CIA and State were censoring the NYT, WaPo, CNN and MSNBC, they’d all be screaming. And rightly so.
This is the biggest scandal in US political history. Bigger than Russiagate.
The NY Post needs to sue the FBI et al for censoring it.
The Dems rigged the election by censorship!!!
Just an addendum:
We don’t know what Jim Baker withheld from Taibbi, Weiss, et al. – or destroyed.
We don’t know why Elon Musk didn’t recognize Baker’s name on the employee list.
We don’t know why no one sidled up to any of the above and said, “About that guy you have vetting the raw files…”
