Gov-Big Tech Conspiracy to Kill First Amendment Goes Far Beyond FBI-Twitter Collusion
Plus how the FBI is gaslighting Americans
Merry Christmas.
I have two pieces out today of potential interest in light of continued Twitter Files revelations about the control our national security apparatus has taken over Americans’ speech via collusion with our Big Tech companies, and the associated corruption of the Deep State.
Revelations about Twitter-intel ties raise questions about Big Tech, other sites
The Twitter Files have provided stunning confirmation of a Deep State-Big Tech conspiracy to censor ideas and individuals deemed harmful to their shared ends — from protecting Joe Biden’s candidacy for president to draconian COVID-19 lockdowns — under the pretext of national security or public health.
But Twitter was far from the only platform with the motive and means to purge dissenting voices from establishment orthodoxy. Nor was it the only such platform with a “Trust and Safety” (read: “censorship”) team helmed by former US intelligence officials, which met regularly with their former security-state employers to combat “misinformation” in the run-up to the 2020 election.
I’ve got the story in the New York Post.
FBI Gaslights America Over Twitter Files
The FBI is gaslighting the American people over the stunning—if unsurprising—evidence that it engaged in a conspiracy with Big Tech to silence wrongthinkers in violation of the First Amendment, as the Twitter Files have revealed.
Meanwhile, in attacking those who refuse to be gaslit, the bureau is also telegraphing that it would respond to Congress investigating its hyper-politicization and weaponization with relentless information warfare.
I’ve got this separate story on the FBI’s shameful response to the Twitter Files in Newsweek.
