Hi I am a Twitter employee or former Twitter employee. Does anybody have a need for an East Asian Literature major, with a minor in diverse studies and a shelf full of participation trophies?
So twitter claims to "require removal of information that may pose a risk to people's heath..."
Really?
Just type "weed" into the search box of Twitter. There you will find TONS of "information that may pose a risk to people's health..."
And I'm quite sure this isn't the only, obvious exception to so-called policy. You almost surely can find lots of things that may pose a risk to people's health on Twitter: sugar; alcohol; extreme sports; drugs of various kinds; things like the "Tide pod challenge,"; etc.
Twitter's rule enforcement is so ridiculously and obviously slanted to those who they just don't want on the platform, that it's clear to everyone who isn't willfully blind.
P.S. I never thought you were a real, former Twitter employee. It was pretty clear until I got to the "shelf full of participation trophies," at which point it became blindingly obvious. But funny.
if you’re one of the censors that has booted me to twitter jail more times than I can count, bye bye Felicia… won’t miss you one iota. If you’re actually a level headed, FAIR person working there, congrats, you’re in the minority and Musk will probably keep you around at least until your probation is over to prove yourself worthy.
Every single left-wing partisan knows, consciously or subconsciously, that Twitter has been an indispensable propaganda tool — exclusively theirs for at least a decade now — with an outsized influence on reality thanks to algorithms that’ve codified the ideological predilections of Silicon Valley oligarchs who happily kowtow to the Democratic Party.
Twitter became integral to the same people who’ve cloaked pretty much every significant American institution in progressive orthodoxy; in more ways than not, this social cesspool again made members of once hallowed progressions the rightful custodians of knowledge, and they’ve since sought increasingly dystopian ways to manage the perturbing agent between authority and the public: information.
Information and the technology of dissemination form a central pillar of power in a democratic society: Democratic power tends to be partial toward those with the best command of political information at any particular stage in history—which is sort of like a fancy way of saying those who control the narratives a society uses to make sense of reality are the ones in possession of real power. It follows, then, that if relationships among people, information (i.e. news), and political authority are altered, it impacts how a society functions and how its citizens fare. Which means change(s) in the structure and accessibility of information will royally mess things up for complacent elites enamored with the status quo.
That's why they're so worried about Musk. The liberal obsession with Twitter and the Disinformation Boogeyman is a front for maintaining a stranglehold on the flow of discourse devoted to the perpetuation of their power and the cultural hegemony they enjoy thanks to an unofficial partnership between Big Tech, corporate media, academia, and cash-rich foundations.
Yeppers! You nailed it! I remember when those same truism's were expressed succinctly with this refrain: Never get into an argument with those who buy ink by the barrel! Same foe, same frustration.
I finally did about 3 months ago and have somehow been suspended, despite never having posted a single thing - ? Did I read the "wrong" things, I wonder? Crazy.
I just reenlisted. One Twitter user compared the experience to the scene in Close Encounters where the alien spaceship returns all of the long lost and abducted humans at once and collects those chosen to leave.
While most of us were opining about Twitter and the possibility of Elon Musk restoring genuine free speech, most Americans completely missed the development that might end up helping save the country - the unbelievable growth of Substack. That's where many of us now comment because Substack's founders allow free speech. Not only that, thousands of smart "citizen journalists" have mobilized to do the job the Fourth Estate no longer does.
Substack has been the greatest "workaround" to fight the myriad agendas of Big Brother. In the minds of the Powers that Be, Substack must now be considered the greatest "threat" to their control. So let's defend - and grow - Substack. That is, we should make sure our friends and family members who haven't discovered this platform do discover it. This will help us get around "the gatekeepers of the news."
I started my own Substack Newsletter on September 24th. In fact, my first post was about how the "resistance" at Substack was allowing our side to "move the needle" on all the faux vaccine and Covid narratives. I had five subscribers that day. I now have a lot more than that. In fact, more than 150,000 people have visited my site in just 30 days. Only in America!
Re: My 150,000 visitors to date ... I lucked out when Citizen Free Press picked up three of my first articles. Citizen Free Press is itself another example of how Americans looking for the truth will find better alternatives that give them what they want. CFP has also experienced tremendous growth, probably largely explained by the fact that Drudge and The Drudge Report seems to have literally sold out. So there are silver linings to our Orwellian New Normal. The Censors silence speech at one platform(s) and others pop up to offer it. The best Substack sites quickly grow their audience. I also like the fact Substackers support other Substackers. Another reason my fledgling site is rapidly growing is I make little plugs at sites like this. Nobody has reprimanded me yet for doing this. (I do try to keep my selfless plugs a little on topic!)
I wish I was as optimistic as you. The knives are well and truly out for Elon, and regulators will put pressure on not just Twitter but also Tesla and SpaceX unless he plays ball.
Hiya RioRosie....Facebook is looking very, very long-in-the-tooth. His house smells of decay and dust. FB is facing death, but not with dignity, not even a whimper, just death. Pity the poor "kids" who have to clean-up that gawd-awful mess!
I appreciate you comments...always right on the target!
Facebook was fun, initially, when we could use it to find a long, lost next-door neighbor who moved when you were 8 years old, or your 3rd grade teacher who was a great teacher, or whatever. A nice way to share a new photo of a grandchild.
Then it deteriorated into every business' "LIKE US ON FACEBOOK." Yes, I know Facebook is a business and needs to make money. But it got so top heavy with nonsense. It ceased to be fun.
I deleted my FB account six years ago....and never looked back.
See my post elsewhere on this thread - Musk better get them before they get him. He now has a tool to do just this - and he doesn't even have to weld the knife.
Gab was revolutionary in 2016. Weak tech in comparison, but completely uncensored. For me, it was revelatory, to learn we are not alone. NO SUBJECT that is legal (sans violence or minors) is off limits there. I learned quite a bit. Paradoxically, the people most pilloried by (((the left))) were the most articulate on Gab. Let's see if Elon, like Kanye West, wishes to allow truly open discourse.
To my knowledge Alex Berenson has been the only person to successfully bring a lawsuit (and win) against this mass censorship and violation of the 1st amendment. Many bitch and complain, but few take action. Plus, the documents showing Federal Government, Public Health, Media, and Pharma pressure to mass censor can only be described as Communist China meet Orwellian Ministry of Truth = Form of Dystopian American INGSOC. We all need to continue backing Alex and others willing to fight for freedom and elect Federal Officials that will reverse the trend and hold these Bad Players Accountable.
For everybody excited about the mass woke lay-off … those wokesters are going to land at other tech companies. Just hope it’s not your favorite. Like this one. God help us.
Thank you for your continued efforts, Alex. Without your pushes, we would not have the information about COVID, vaccines, side effects, Twitter itself, and so many other topics you cover. Grateful beyond measure.
thanks for this Alex. I just upgrade to paid, partially out of appreciation and partially to participate on occasion here. I would like to make the point that the issue of vaccination became the defining point of division between the elites and the rest of us (even those of us with elite backgrounds!) long before covid. And some of your colleagues when you were at the NYT led the way in this. Gardiner Harris most notably when he turned the elite readership against a parent movement over concerns about rising autism rates (newsflash: they've kept rising!!). I hope at some point you turn attention to the antecedents of the trends on which you have so effectively reported. The mRNA vaccines are far and away the worst product ever offered, but that doesn't mean Gardasil and flu and hep B vaccines (not to mention the bloated overall childhood schedule) aren't also terrible products and policies. The central failure is that the agencies made vaccination an issue of power and compliance (therefore inevitably political) and allowed no safeguards, checks or balances. The fox started watching the hencoop in 1986 and it's been downhill ever since.
Yep. At some point our "public health agencies" became Vaccine Promotion Agencies. I've posted several times that someone should have called BS on the efficacy of the flu vaccines decades ago. Because nobody did this (I'm looking at you, Watchdog Press), the narrative that "vaccines" don't even have to work took hold.
I was a member of a "Blue Ribbon Panel" on vaccine safety back in 2004. The stated purpose was considering whether or not to take the vaccine safety function out of CDC and set up an independent agency along the lines of NTSB. That was then, and remains, the obviously correct way to deal with the safety problem from a governance standpoint. Putting vaccine promotion and safety assessment inside the same organization was and is a recipe for disaster.
Actually, this issue goes back to Evidence of Harm in 2005. And of course the Wakefield saga (Wakefield was right). Also worth seeing my own Age of Autism (2010) and Denial (2017). RFK Jr was also involved early, but others led the way.
I was at the CHD conference and got much more of the story there. Basically, mercury adjuvant had been in vaccines since 1934, so the entire history of modern vaccines has been to poison us from birth. After the mercury damage was exposed, they switched to slightly less toxic adjuvants but significantly increased the number of vaccines on the schedule to keep up the poisoning. Now they pivoted to mRNA gene therapies with brand new toxic ingredients to weaken our bodies from childhood. Vaccines have never been tested against placebo, which would reveal the the true nature of their intent.
Now “main stream media” will gaslight Twitter as partisan, divisive and “dangerous.” Free speech is not in authoritarian play book & avoided at all cost.
Yes, I believe that's already started. They may try to destroy Twitter and Musk like they did Trump. Remember how they took down Parler? I wonder what all those leftist posters will do. Cancel their accounts in an act of solidarity?!
Judging from the employee demand letter to Musk, I still don’t trust the Twitter employees to be honest about doing their jobs. Eventually, maybe. But it will most likely be a very rocky “us vs. them” start.
Alex, you have been great on Twitter and I think Elon taking over is great for Twitter at this moment. But just like Kanye West, I wouldn't be surprised if Musk lets everyone down. He has done some good things lately, but his wealth was built on government handouts and I would not be surprised if he is bipolar and suffers from manic episodes.
I read a tweet that compared Musk's opinions with the WEF. If I remember correctly, it said Musk was in favor of lockdowns, in favor of masks, in favor of the vaccine, transhumanist and pretty much a globalist. Thinking Musk bought Twitter to embrace free speech could be a gross miscalculation. It sounds like he's a tech genius so maybe he just sees the opportunity to brainwash us better. Twitter seems like a perfect weapon to push ideology and hoover up every scrap of info on what makes each individual tick. Of course, Musk would want this and if he has any interest in free speech, maybe it's simply because it will give him better data to reach his ultimate goals.

I am really not a Twitter employee, that was Satire which ironically is not allowed on Twitter ... at least not yet. Elon's coming!
Well, Elon tweeted within the last day,
"Comedy is now legal on Twitter."
So funnier days are ahead. Cheers!
P.S. I never thought you were a real, former Twitter employee. It was pretty clear until I got to the "shelf full of participation trophies," at which point it became blindingly obvious. But funny.

China does. Have a nice trip!
Yes, please purchase a 1-way ticket.
I am anti-communist, I only purchase things for beautiful Baltic women.
Be fruitful and multiply -- whoops, gotta use the right gender pronoun and noun --- and, just in case, be pro-murdering of perinatal children.
I bet there are companies in East Asia that could use your help. Maybe you could try there!
Who knew that Substack could be so helpful for people like myself. Don't get me wrong I am entitled, but still ...
Nope.
you might be able to stay. Musk did not say he was going to fire everyone. Your studies might also give you a position in teaching I think?
Thanks, I was thinking of selling all the hardware I wear on my face and body as fishing tackle?
Fishing tackle! Hilarious!

Well said!
You don’t think the Chinese mights see Twitter as corruptible, now that Elon’s in charge? He buys a lot of shit from them...
don’t look now, but the entire US centers around buying things from China..
take a good look at where your iPad or computer was made.. CHINA.
that’s not all obviously, but we buy more things from China than we make here.. sad but true.
If this goes through and free speech is allowed, I'll FINALLY get a Twitter account.
I will return as well.

Thanks for sharing this!!! Confirmation of many suspicions or things I'd previously heard. Dr. Malone is a gem!!!
Wonder if Fauxi daughter will be axed!?
I finally did about 3 months ago and have somehow been suspended, despite never having posted a single thing - ? Did I read the "wrong" things, I wonder? Crazy.
Wrongthink.
maybe you hit that little heart that says you liked or read something the twitter gods didn’t approve of.

I agree with your lack of optimism.
Let's see where this goes in 6 months.
If past is indeed prologue, there will be major attempts to not just cause Elon Musk to backpedal, but to DESTROY him.
In a related matter, I was encouraged today to see Facebook's value absolutely tank.

Indeed. I know of one HR person happy with the idea of a new pool of candidates. Ugh!
Thank you for your continued efforts, Alex. Without your pushes, we would not have the information about COVID, vaccines, side effects, Twitter itself, and so many other topics you cover. Grateful beyond measure.
Congratulations! Thank you so much for being a leader.
You will go down in the history books as a force for freedom!

Read or watch The Real Anthony Fauci to get in depth info on this

Many tears will be flowing as soon as those negated through cancel culture regain their voices. Can’t wait to see the flood👍
It will ONLY be free and open, if we can amplify the very real and true conversations begun by Kanye West...

Exactly. "the world's richest man" is a piker, when compared to the WEF sorts.
