Just imagine what Google, Meta and Apple have done.

The collusion between government and corporations and the press is very... what's the word I'm looking for...starts with an F...

You don't have to imagine. Snowden showed the world exactly the depth of collusion between business and government.
And that was almost 10 years ago...people were quick to jump on the propaganda wagon of calling him a traitor.

It does take guts especially with a government as corrupt as we have today.
And none of these shills give a hoot that the government told social media to censor/ban people who won't partake in the echo chamber.
Makes one wonder why the DOJ is going after Musk. Now we know.

You forgot:
#4) "Hunter isn't a politician". Even though the info on Hunter's laptop shows that he advises the "Big Guy" in all matters including politically.

and

#5) "I didn't vote for Hunter". If Hunter would announce that he was running, they would line up behind him. In lockstep.

They do have gaslighting down pat.

While I doubt it will happen, I would love to see the curtain pulled back on ALL of Big Tech, the Big Democrat Machine, Hollywood and the Educationless System.

Whistleblowers have been trying to do that since 2006....Room 641A.

Patriot Act took away any rights to privacy....in the name of national security.
And it was all "temporary"...only lasting 5 years..remember ?

Minimizing as nothing to see move along is standard procedure. Along with the messenger shooting. I love the leftist that are now going to boycott Taibbi since he's not a good journalist anymore.

Thank you Elon Musk & Matt Taibbi.

The reactions are priceless. I'm going to need some more popcorn, especially when Taibbi releases even more emails this week.

The Twenty-Seven Most Embarrassing Reactions to Taibbi Thread About Twitter Censoring Hunter Biden Tweets
They are true fascists. The leftists simply hate introspection and understanding who they really are.

Any time the government states "we must do this for your own safety" (Patriot act to Covid), you know they are about to ********* over.

Someday people will learn the government is NOT here to help you. They are here to take control of you, so they can gain as much power as possible.

Government is a collection of people who have power. Human nature is to gain more power. The more power you gain, the more you want.

Only a complete fool believes the government is a good thing.
