How many times did I say in comment sections like this one that the REAL story of the Twitter Files wasn't the Twitter Files themselves, but the fact that there's ALSO a Facebook Files, a Google Files, an MSNBC Files, a New York Times Files, etc etc etc.

We are literally paying for our own censorship -- and the left denied it was happening until they couldn't pretend any longer, so now they say OF COURSE government needs to be able to censor you! (They don't seem to remember they just got done playacting as THE RESISTANCE for four years and think they'll ALWAYS be on the government's side.)

Nope, Facebook willingly colluded with the government to control speech. Facebook is just trying to wiggle out of it now that they were caught. “ the devil made me do it!”

Ok. We know what they did. We know they violated the constitution to do it. We know all this...

How about some “Why?” In detail. Why did they lock us down? It wasn’t for our health. All pandemic plans were jettisoned as soon as this showed up. Why the vax mandates when everyone with working brain cells knows it takes years to test new ones.

Need some docs, emails, recordings... on why this was done. And “to get Trump” isn’t enough; they’ve got him and it’s still ongoing.

The Left in this country is completely out of control.

It isn't a matter of policy differences anymore.

They are lying psychopaths who violated our most fundamental human rights, likely killing thousands if not hundreds of thousands in the process....all the while with a smug sense of their own supposed moral superiority.

I don't know how we move forward as a country unless and until people go to prison or hang for these crimes.

On the surface this seems shocking, but we all knew this was going on . This administration is Godless on so many levels. A new level of hell needs to be reserved for these people. Sadly, many millions will still vote for them.

Alex, does it seem to you like the WH has figured out there is no recourse to them burning the Constitution. Almost like they knew that they couldn’t get fired. Like the fix was in. Like they could just...Rig the next election. Wonder what made them think that?

Well - whether intended or not, the vaccine side effects are killing people by the tens of thousands and the government walled off proactive treatments which also killed people by the tens of thousands - other that they they have nothing to hide.

Alex, I appreciate your reporting on COVID all told, to include the vaccines, but at some point, you have to see the bigger picture and not the brush strokes. We are entering a phase in our country in which the left's controlling narrative is more important than the truth. There are plenty of leftist useful idiots, many with advanced degrees, who will believe whatever they are told to believe. Don't wear a mask, wear a mask, take a vaccine, it's safe and effective, oh wait, take another one, another one, and another one. This is the hottest summer in the history of our planet. Check the weather before you go outside or you'll die. President Trump is a threat to democracy, but President Biden is amazing.

Hi Alex,

It’s important to realize that coercion isn’t the only method the government uses to censor free speech. It also uses *incentives* - both direct and implied. But these are also unconstitutional, because the government is not permitted to suppress free speech by any method.

And will it be called the X'd Files?

Trusted News Initiative... I wish we had some lawyers that could class action first amendment violations on behalf of the American people. What the hell happened to us? A Republic if you can keep it.... Shout out to John Adams for the bill of rights!!

Alex, when I read "Andy Slavitt," I thought of you and your lawsuit.

Keep plugging away. Keep up the good fight.

Just when will the average Dem voter WAKE up?

If Elon wanted full disclosure, he would have simply put ALL of the twitter files out in the public arena for anyone and everyone to go through them. There would not have been picking and choosing of individuals who would then pick and choose what to share, and what not to share, with the world. We know our fellow world citizens would have gone through every file with a fine-tooth comb 24/7. Why didn't Elon do that? I think he still wants to hide and censure stuff. If he truly wants openness and transparency, then put it all out there and let the chips fall where they may.
