The Twitter Files on Control of Covid Discussion

The thing about all these "bombshells" is that those on the right knew they were happening at the time.
These file just give those on the right some evidence to point to whenever those on the left raise the specter of conspiracy.

If people don't understand by now, every time the left claims something to be a slippery slope conspiracy, it's actually their true end goal.

You can spin stuff up or down.
Example .. of 1 million people there's going to be a fair few on the edge of dying. Taking them out of their beds will cause some to die. Arguably taking them out of their beds is what killed them. Leaving them in their beds for too long is as likely to be what brought them to the brink but taking them out is in an identifiable action that you can easily point to as the cause of death. Are the folks that drag their aged parents out of bed for (say) their 101st birthday party intent on murder? You can spin "Never do anything for anyone" as any of motivated by concern or cowardice or simply selfishness. Once you're convinced the 'others' are liars - ain't nothing they can say to convince you otherwise.

Once upon a time the left claimed that abortions should be "safe, legal, and rare." Now they want women to "shout your abortion" and promote abortion up to birth.
Once upon a time the left claimed that gay marriage would never affect you. Now they want to indoctrinate (groom) your children in their perverse and radical gender ideology.

It's not a mystery. It's a strategy called incrementalism. You can only be strategically incrementalist if you have an end goal in mind. You have to deny that end goal until you slowly build enough acceptance, by moving the Overton window. This strategy has existed since the Frankfurt School , founded during the Weimar Republic.

Now, not everyone on the left is aware of this. These are the useful idiots who support "being nice" regardless of its objective harm to those it purports to help.

People with nothing else to believe in often find substitutes...and treat them as dogmatically as a religion.

That's actually a good nickname for reflecting an organization's fixation of pointing at others: the Uracist Party. (Or Uraracist.)

The spelling has been around a while (it's in Urban Dictionary), but nobody seems to have gotten the idea to throw it right back in a mocking way.

Staying with Covid .. in the UK we seem to be out of the woods apart from (December 2022) 6 million people waiting for non-urgent surgery. At the start of the epidemic there weren't any experts - just people with the burden of actually making decisions hoping they were right and people with divine inspiration intent on muddying the water. The UK population is probably easier to manage than the US maybe because we aren't afflicted with divine inspiration to the quite the same extent as the US.

Here's a Twitter Files infographic from the Epoch Times. It lays out the incestuous government/media censorship apparatus through which the federal government sought to censor speech on controversial topics, by acting through and applying pressure on private media companies. It's a complex web, including almost every government department (FBI, CIA, State Department, Homeland Security, the CDC... and on and on.

All in seeming violation of the US Constitution that forbids the government from interfering with Americans' free speech. To get around that, the government has formed an unholy alliance with universities, think-tanks and private corporations to do the things that the government itself is forbidden from doing: censoring public opinion and controlling the "narrative".

And while all of that was happening, while countless Twitter accounts were targeted for censorship or deletion on the thinnest justification that they were repeating "Russian talking points" (never with any evidence provided), the Pentagon was simultaneously asking Twitter for preferential treatment for various Arabic language Twitter accounts that they were using in hopes of influencing public opinion in that part of the world.

As Elon has so aptly said, Twitter is both a company and a crime scene.

This is a big file, so wait for it to load.
