“repulsive, horrifying, and dystopian, a gruesome history of a world run by anti-people...”
Sums it up well.
The onslaught of gaslighting over the past years have indeed been horrifying, on all fronts medical let alone political. And now the same shysters and “experts” and CIA fronts (eg MSNBC) are trying out the tripledemic scaremongering and hiding the Twitter story.

Sometime in the last decade, many people — I was one — began to feel robbed of their sense of normalcy by something we couldn’t define. Increasingly glued to our phones, we saw that the version of the world that was spat out at us from them seemed distorted. The public’s reactions to various news events seemed off-kilter, being either way too intense, not intense enough, or simply unbelievable. You’d read that seemingly everyone in the world was in agreement that a certain thing was true, except it seemed ridiculous to you, which put you in an awkward place with friends, family, others. Should you say something? Are you the crazy one?
I can’t have been the only person to have struggled psychologically during this time. This is why these Twitter files have been such a balm. This is the reality they stole from us! It’s repulsive, horrifying, and dystopian, a gruesome history of a world run by anti-people, but I’ll take it any day over the vile and insulting facsimile of truth they’ve been selling. Personally, once I saw that these lurid files could be used as a road map back to something like reality — I wasn’t sure until this week — I relaxed for the first time in probably seven or eight years.
Something tells me the coming year is going to be a better one. Happy Holidays, everyone. Enjoy your loved ones, ignore the rest, and see you all again soon.
WIND: trusting the government is for children and idiots. Ditto for experts, and (most) medical doctors.
We live in dangerous times. We no longer have a Republic , or the half wit's version of that, a democracy. We have a full-on police state, submerged just enough to keep most of the populace pliable sheep. But it can now be seen by those who would just look, and see how zero respect for the Consitution is now standard operating procedure.
Twitter Files: What We've Learned So Far
The bottom line? Federal law enforcement asserted primacy over all media distribution, a situation normally only found in tinpot regimes.
This morning on Twitter I published a thread on “Twitter and Other Government Agencies.” With the documents it of course exceeds email size limits, but you can find it on the site by clicking here.
Cleansing Twitter’s Augean Stables
2022-12-22
However clouded Twitter’s future may be at this point, Elon Musk has accomplished a seismic shift in the media world by exposing the old regime’s left-leaning roots and its propensity for covert censorship. If both faults can be remedied, the new Twitter has at least a shot at becoming a global forum for neutrally moderated free speech and discussion.
...Twitter’s censorship method, known inside the company as “visibility filtering,” was a set of tools for making certain tweets harder to find. These included rendering a tweet invisible to a search or preventing it from appearing in popularity lists, which Twitter users consult to find out what’s going on. “We control the amplification of your content quite a bit. And normal people do not know how much we do,” a Twitter employee told Weiss’s team.
Facebook’s files, if ever made public, would doubtless tell a similar story. I know because their apparatchiks visibility-filtered a story I wrote in May 2020 on the origin of the Covid virus...

WIND: Musk disappointed me by de facto abandoning the most important work of the century (by saying he would step down as CEO)—making Twitter a platform for free speech. But maybe it will all work out according to his plan, somehow if he need not be CEO. I am doubtful.
The idea that it’s only Twitter is of course something for children and idiots. The real threat to our republic is government meddling in free speech. It may be too late, and maybe not. Meanwhile, shitty useless billionaires like Gates and Buffett will go down in history as pathetic jerk-offs compared to the courage of Musk.
