Follow along as Matt Taibbi details the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story at Twitter: (Taibbi sent a post explaining the terms of getting the story included breaking it on Twitter) A teaser:
Well, if the Elon Musks of the world are our new police, so be it. I hope he has all the success in the world...as long as he stays un-captured himself.
That is the best!!! Talk about hitting the Mother-load of corruption!! It’s cold, drizzling... fire going, popcorn day! Bring it on!! Has any msm reported on this???
Martha…..I don’t think any of them did…….at least somebody said that was the case on Fox yesterday evening…….They all make me sick…….and, did you hear the actor, James Wood on Tucker last night…..Tucker was stunned to find out how his career was ruined by twitter and he is now going to sue the DNC because of what they have been doing…..colluding with Twitter, etc.
Listening to what he had to say scared me to death…….I mean, even people like all of us on this site that think we know a lot…..WE DON’T……GOD HELP US ALL!
From the short cable surfing I did this am, no mention of Musk/Taibbi Twitter on any of the Sunday AM shows. I missed the Woods story, I will be watching Tucker tomorrow night.
I like how Musk keeps using the shithole properties of Twitter that blue-checkers demanded, forced, and have long cherished--in this case, the lack of fundamental accountability--against them. He must have had Taibbi unspool this right in the middle of the conflagration for just that reason.
You know, SimCom, that sentence you just wrote in quotes, really sums up the whole awful thing that we have all been through. I hope that sticks……..I know, I’m sure going to use it and I’ll credit you…..…. Musk did purchase a crime scene.
As should come as a surprise to no one, I genuinely love a good, real Troll.
The Troll is the modern incarnation of The Fool- the archetype in countless spiritual traditions that exists to slap people out of their bullshit-induced trance.
Real trolls are a blessing to the arrogant toxicity of the internet. Fake trolls- a dime a dozen, are little punks that deserve a whooping and a wedgie.
When will CBS nightly news with Norah O'Donnell be running this bombshell story? This makes Watergate look like a children's picnic in the park. Surely Norah will be covering this story? Right?
Its amazing that social media companies banned anyone who spoke against the mainstream narrative and censored posts as "misinformation" if they were even slightly incorrect. At the same time, Hunter's laptop being "Russian misinformation" is touted as being true and never was censored, suppressed, or banned. Double standard for sure.
SimCom…..I know that we really depend on you to unravel a lot of facts from fiction and that has to weigh on you at times. But I’m here to tell you, that’s not going to change.
So, get a lot of deep sleep and rest cause you’re gonna need it.
After hearing the extent to which our liberties have been eroding to such a horrifying extent behind such evil people for such a long time, and how easy it was for these diabolical people to do this, well, my ledge is in good repair. I’ve never been this scared before.

does taibi not have like a substack to do it properly?
edit: given the time that passed and the plebs are either in qatar or digitally so; may this just be smoke and mirrors? everybody that’s not invested in the political clown show knew what’s going on. again, is this smoke and mirrors to keep us busy?
Going through MT's Twitter thread, there are a lot of people doing the, "Now do Trump" gambit. I just can't believe people are that blind to what is really happening in politics with the Uniparty.
These dipshits act like Twitter and the Politicians got caught taking a penny out of the Take-a-Penny-Leave-a-Penny tray at 7-11, not eviscerating the 1st Amendment. How short sighted can people be?
Haven't learned anything that couldn't be readily inferred from Twitter's actions with the possible exception of Twitter accommodating requests from Rs in office, albeit to a lesser extent than Ds.
It's always nice to have the receipts. And there's a similar story lurking behind every single story of the day -- election 2020, 1/6, covid, Ukraine.......
I don't trust anybody farther than I can throw them, though that is a fairly impressive distance. I think we can acknowledge his goodness in this instance without endowing all future or past doings with the same goodness.
Will it make a difference? He just told us what we already knew. It was a pretty weak reveal. Some twitter people who aren't there anymore did exactly what we knew they did. There are no legal consequences and it won't go anywhere.
Don't want to be a downer but it just felt like everything else with a big "and then" at the end.
I think a very small minority of people "knew" before today. (Obviously readership here included in that number) Many other people may have suspected, but now it's undeniable.
It's a necessary first step, although I'll agree with you that I wish there was more to his thread.
LOL I noticed that, too. It looks like he jumped ahead at least once (12-16), kind of hand-waving "there was more throat-clearing, but let's get to the point"
Edit: This episode highlighted how poor Twitter is for 'breaking stories' like this compared to Substack. On the 'Stack, Taibbi is organized and logical. Forced to break everything up, it seemed disjointed. (Maybe because I was trying to follow along and there were long gaps without posts)
Sickening truth: Washington elite protect their allies and go after political opponents. MSM/Dem Establishment are falling over themselves to protect crooked dem mega-donor, while doing everything they can to persecute political opponents like
I will always treasure the delicious memory of Tulsi taking down Cackling Kamala in the Primary Debate..... it was a masterclass in Cool Cucumber calculus....
I'm 99% sure it was Jay Inslee for me. Because I had the audacity to publish screenshots of our official covid page to his tweets, with links so anybody could see the data themselves.
I heard this over the weekend and it's so apt: "Elon Musk didn't purchase a social media company, he purchased a crime scene."
Well, if the Elon Musks of the world are our new police, so be it. I hope he has all the success in the world...as long as he stays un-captured himself.

The silence is deafening!
The media is so pathetically obvious…and yet, they succeed!!
"Succeed" at being mouthpieces for the narrative, they don't actually succeed in the regular sense.
I like how Musk keeps using the shithole properties of Twitter that blue-checkers demanded, forced, and have long cherished--in this case, the lack of fundamental accountability--against them. He must have had Taibbi unspool this right in the middle of the conflagration for just that reason.
Yep, Steve Bannon said that on his show. Spot fucking on!
That is freaken righteous vcomment
Some might say it was a crime against humanity denying the world my voice in T*, but I couldn't possibly say that
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Oz8RjPAD2Jk
The UK one was good
*I hate that effeminate, stupid name
No one is going to deny your voice, John
You're the greatest Denise,. Been too long!
Aw, schucks……..
You know, SimCom, that sentence you just wrote in quotes, really sums up the whole awful thing that we have all been through. I hope that sticks……..I know, I’m sure going to use it and I’ll credit you…..…. Musk did purchase a crime scene.
I’ve plastered it around Facebook as much as possible!
I only read it somewhere!
You're being very unBiden like not plagiarizing
😂
Well, I didn’t…….still going to credit you.
😂
As I said on MT's site, I have newfound admiration for Musk. The internet has just met it's biggest Troll.
He is a freaken funny bastard. I don't necessarily trust him but humor is big plus
As should come as a surprise to no one, I genuinely love a good, real Troll.

Good trolling is an art form, but I know not what "good" is, just what I like.
So, I suppose I believe that one man's (good) troll is another man's (bad) troll, like one man.s freedom fighter is another's terrorist.
And an Indian Rug burn.
So I'm a good person? People always seem so MEAN and HATEFUL when they call me that... Just give opposing "minority" view
Trolling is an art. It isn't just being a dick.
You're just a dick. <3
No, just poor judgement trying to engage you.
Is it possible I'm fucking with you?
We are amused……..
This puts my feelings into words so perfectly, I feel like someone just took a 3-inch splinter out of my nipple that I didn't know was there.
A haunting statement
"Oh, ye hypocrite! Take the splinter from thine own nipple before laying hands on the nipple of they neighbor"
It's possible I'm remembering it wrong.
Talking about nipples,ending scene... One of most powerful cineomagraphic moments in history
Start at 300 min matk

Or a detective game: Clue?
Perfect, of monumental ramifications. I want heads to roll…….we’ll see.
When will CBS nightly news with Norah O'Donnell be running this bombshell story? This makes Watergate look like a children's picnic in the park. Surely Norah will be covering this story? Right?
I'm literally writing about that as we speak. Should be out in a couple hours ;)

At the same time, Hunter's laptop being "Russian misinformation" is touted as being true and never was censored, suppressed, or banned. Double standard for sure.
And SO obvious that I wonder why the Democrats got so many votes...

Please stay healthy!
............but no pressure 😝
Laughing and smiling………..
does taibi not have like a substack to do it properly?
edit: given the time that passed and the plebs are either in qatar or digitally so; may this just be smoke and mirrors? everybody that’s not invested in the political clown show knew what’s going on. again, is this smoke and mirrors to keep us busy?
Part of the condition of getting the story was breaking it on Twitter.
oh i see. missed that detail.
It's sort of ironic that this also highlights how poorly Twitter handles large breaking stories.
I can't believe how tribal everything has become.
Going through MT's Twitter thread, there are a lot of people doing the, "Now do Trump" gambit. I just can't believe people are that blind to what is really happening in politics with the Uniparty.
ME: THROW THESE CIVIL RIGHTS-VIOLATING DEMOCRATS DOWN THE PIT OF DOOM!
Them: Actually, Republicans violated civil rights as well.
ME: THERE'S PLENTY ROOM FOR THEM, TOO!
These dipshits act like Twitter and the Politicians got caught taking a penny out of the Take-a-Penny-Leave-a-Penny tray at 7-11, not eviscerating the 1st Amendment. How short sighted can people be?
As Jack Posobiec tweeted, "It was a digital insurrection!'

Oh that's a handy thing!
"and as for the Bill of Rights, it's "not absolute"'
Has there been a more telling and a more terrifying statement made during this whole shit show?
Haven't learned anything that couldn't be readily inferred from Twitter's actions with the possible exception of Twitter accommodating requests from Rs in office, albeit to a lesser extent than Ds.

Isn't Musk moving us towards transhumanism? I really don't want any equipment in my head. It may be a mistake to consider him a good guy.
Spoiler alert: Musk is one of them.
I've said it before and will say it again. If there is an antichrist, Musk is your man.
I don't trust anybody farther than I can throw them, though that is a fairly impressive distance. I think we can acknowledge his goodness in this instance without endowing all future or past doings with the same goodness.
Starlink and Nueralink...imagine the implications.
"How can we make them eat the bugs?"
"We MAKE them eat the bugs!"
The WEF already did....
Will it make a difference? He just told us what we already knew. It was a pretty weak reveal. Some twitter people who aren't there anymore did exactly what we knew they did. There are no legal consequences and it won't go anywhere.

Thanks for the link!
I couldn’t find all of the “tweets”. Why are there gaps?
LOL I noticed that, too. It looks like he jumped ahead at least once (12-16), kind of hand-waving "there was more throat-clearing, but let's get to the point"

Ro Khanna just won the 2024 presidential election.
If he wants it.
I haven't heard anything so good since Tulsi earlier:
https://twitter.com/TulsiGabbard/status/1598636236574334976
Sickening truth: Washington elite protect their allies and go after political opponents. MSM/Dem Establishment are falling over themselves to protect crooked dem mega-donor, while doing everything they can to persecute political opponents like
@ElonMusk
. That’s not democracy.
I love what Tulsi said……..she’s outraged but calm, cool and collected.
I will always treasure the delicious memory of Tulsi taking down Cackling Kamala in the Primary Debate..... it was a masterclass in Cool Cucumber calculus....
She should have a statue for that alone.
Don’t worry, everyone. I’m sure nothing like this happened to accounts like mine that were suspended for allegedly spreading Covid misinformation. 🙄
Yep: Covid vaccine isn't safe or effective -- misinformation. Biden's laptop being planted by a Russian secret agent -- 100% true.
Somebody asked if the files would be searchable so we can figure out if we were targeted.
It's a good question.
It’s not a question of if I was target, but by whom.
TBH, in Illinois, it’s just as likely to be one party as the other.
I'm 99% sure it was Jay Inslee for me. Because I had the audacity to publish screenshots of our official covid page to his tweets, with links so anybody could see the data themselves.
How dare you. ;)
I'll believe it when all doubt is demolished.
