Watching the various talking heads screech and howl about Musk’s purchase of Twitter has been immensely amusing. The lack of self-awareness (or the absolute lack of honesty, whichever it really is) has been breathtaking. All of the things they are accusing Elon Musk of planning to do are all things they have been doing to conservative Twitter users for years. Projection.
But all of this is happening at the same time that psychopaths in the administration, the Europeans and lying hypocrites like Obama are calling for even more restrictions on free speech. Their smokescreen around misinformation and disinformation is a pretext for ending free speech. They want to completely control the narrative around government actions like the COVID lockdowns and the BLM riots.
The timing of Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter may be quite inconvenient for the Democrats. I’m guessing they were depending on staging some shenanigans around the election to try and steal some seats. If Twitter can’t be completely controlled it might interfere with their illicit operations. And with Rumble now as an alternative to YouTube it seems possible that millions of people could be reached with information on all the dirt that is coming out on Hunter Biden, the election fraud investigations, the COVID disaster and all the bad news for the economy.
We’re living in interesting times. The outrageous abuses that have occurred in the last two years, the lockdowns, the riots, voter fraud, the breakdown of law and order and now the stagflation crisis have shocked the usually complacent population into realizing just how radical the Left has become. But at the same time the Left now owns all the power centers in the United States, and indeed the whole western world. Because of this it may no longer be possible to fix our system.
We will have to watch from now to election day to see if the voter outrage will provide a powerful rejection of Democrat rule. And then if it does occur, we have to watch what the Republicans can do with their new power over Congress to shape the actions of Biden’s policies.
Perhaps Twitter could play a role in helping people survive the rest of the Biden presidency. If Musk can figure out a way to protect the Right from the crazies that run Twitter, then it really will be that public square he’s always talking about. And without the crazies putting their thumbs on the scale, who knows, it might even be a place where little fish like me could get heard.
We’ll hear more about all of this soon enough. Some early signs to watch for will be if Musk reinstates all the thousands of conservative accounts that were cancelled during the COVID pandemic and during the election fraud dust ups. The next thing to watch after that is how much flak he gets from the government agencies trying to prevent free speech. The Europeans are erecting barriers to free speech. Twitter might have to build a wall isolating them from “disinformation.” If he doesn’t then the European standards will destroy Twitter as a free speech site.
