Last night on our show, we dissected the mentality of people like Twitter execs Vijaya Gadde and @yoyoel to see why these people really believe they should censor what information you can get: up today.
But first: @TimJDillon has a great breakdown of their sociopathic arrogance:
A little bit of sunlight is painful to those living in the dark
The people who:
☢️ created a weaponized chimera virus;
🚩 blocked access to safe & effective medicines;
☠️ forced you to take the most toxic shot ever invented;
🤥 while running the largest censorship, propaganda, & surveillance system in history...
🤡 want you to think that “Elon Musk is a threat to democracy!?”

2. The world knows much of the story of what happened between riots at the Capitol on January 6th, and the removal of President Donald Trump from Twitter on January 8th...

3. We’ll show you what hasn’t been revealed: the erosion of standards within the company in months before J6, decisions by high-ranking executives to violate their own policies, and more, against the backdrop of ongoing, documented interaction with federal agencies.

4. This first installment covers the period before the election through January 6th. Tomorrow, @Shellenbergermd will detail the chaos inside Twitter on January 7th. On Sunday, @BariWeiss will reveal the secret internal communications from the key date of January 8th.
What's fake? The drefanzor account is real.

Elon Musk took over Twitter in what feels like a whirlwind of chaos, shifting energy, cautious excitement from medical freedom advocates, and a somewhat glorious temper tantrum by those who have pledged undying (and sometimes dying) allegiance to The Institutions (The acronym health agencies + the acronym media outlets: FDA, CDC, NIH, CNN, MSNBC, NYT, etc)...
Elon is taking New Media and exploding it into the mainstream arena using sheer force and revealing a deep, dark well of information that Old Twitter kept under lock and key. Old Media are being left in a melting puddle, in a stuttering, dazed panic as Elon Musk bypasses the guardrails they used so arrogantly, and dumps out shocking information.
The method he's using is creative and efficient. He gave the documents to longtime independent journalists Matt Taibbi, Bari Weiss, and Michael Shellenberger. They're all journalists who come from long careers in media as mainstream as it comes, such as The Rolling Stone and The NYT. They gradually removed themselves from the chains of working for giant corporations with special interests and took a quality group of readers with them. The journalists have tens of thousands of paid subscribers on Substack and are trailblazers in proving that media and journalists can be chosen by the people who trust them. Elon Musk handed the documents to the above journalists with the main caveat being that the information must be published on Twitter first and then may be published elsewhere, such as their own personal Substacks.
The first four parts of the Twitter Files detailed the deep rot of censorship in the highest level of leaders at Twitter. They reveal the panic bordering on euphoria over at Twitter HQ, as management including Yoel Roth and Vijaya Gadde gleefully discussed finally having justification to kick the sitting POTUS off their platform. They reveal that the CDC and the White House had a direct channel to a special committee at Twitter for fast-tracking the flagging of tweets or accounts that the White House didn't like. They reveal the utter hubris of those sitting behind the all-powerful "ban" buttons, as they pushed their thumbs on the scale of the 2020 election by actively censoring a century-old media outlet when the NY Post reported on Hunter Biden's laptop. Evil dictators throughout history would have given anything to hold the power held by the small group of censors at Twitter.
With all the caution that's warranted when putting hope and faith in any person or solution, Elon Musk's actions to date deserve a tremendous amount of credit and gratitude, and it appears as though this is just the beginning.
