    (I am not seeing some of these tweets from Elon's twitter - wonder if he deleted or are they being shadow-banned for me? The NBC and the Ghislaine Maxwell ones.
    I do not have a twitter account so not following )

    "All's Well That's Orwell" - Musk Tosses Tactical Nukes At 'Ministry Of Truth' And Trust-Fund Journo

    BY TYLER DURDEN
    MONDAY, MAY 02, 2022 - 02:03 PM
    There's kicking the hornet's nest, then there's unleashing a tactical nuke...

    After Elon Musk's early-Monday massacre of MSNBC's "Republicans are Nazis" narrative, the richest man in the world batted away a David Brock-esque bot who had a 'gotcha' queued up that included quotes from Nina Jankowicz - the head of the Biden administration's new 'ministry of truth.'

    "All's well that's Orwell," Musk replied.

    Musk was initially responding to a thread by Glenn Greenwald calling out journalist Molly Jong-Fast for being a raging hypocrite.

    < tweets at link >

    Are you not entertained?

    * * *

    Elon Musk slammed NBC News over their "Republicans are Nazis" narrative, adding that NBC is was the "Same org that covered up the Hunter Biden laptop story, had Harvey Weinstein story early & killed it & built Matt Lauer his rape office."



    The diss came after the network's Mehdi Hassan said that the "neo-Nazi faction" of the GOP would regret championing a "petulant & not-so-bright billionaire," referring to Musk.

    < more tweets at link >

    NBC News is also the rag who let a no-name journalist team up with a partisan UK think tank to smear ZeroHedge with a lie-filled hit piece that was stealth-edited after publication. After the network was called out for attacking a rival news organization, said journalist went to work for Qatari-owned Al Jazeera.

    Meanwhile, the network issued a note on Monday indicating that one of their journalists had committed 11 instances of plagiarism over the last year. No word on the fate of the jouno, or who it is.

    No wonder networks are panicking over who controls the flow of information.

    Quote Brian Cates - Political Columnist ★★★
    Musk now has MORE FOLLOWERS on Twitter than TRUMP did.

    Musk has NINETY MILLION.

    ANYTHING he boosts gets instant national attention.


    You've been watching the Fake News and their controllers FREAKING THE HELL OUT about this for over 3 weeks now because Twitter is now being heavily influenced by someone who's messaging they do not control.

    If Musk decides he wants to put 2000 MULES right in the NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT, he can do that.

    And they can't stop him.

    Except by...heh heh...banning his account.

    Ever heard of...THE STREISAND EFFECT?

    Do you KNOW what it is?

    Do you know what it results in?

    They can't stop what is coming.

    That's what's so beautiful about what's happening.

    They can't stop it.

    It''s like watching a massive train coming at you and it's picking up speed and all you can do is watch it come with mounting horror.

    IS ELON REALLY A FREE SPEECH HERO?
    5/1/22
    https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/is-...e-speech-hero/

    Source: https://www.brighteon.com/embed/3d6f39ec-b65c-471b-99d0-94aca10b9cd1

    "The day after the announcement last week of Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter, Michael McKibben and Douglas Gabriel talked about how Elon Musk is yet another one of these cardboard cut-outs who, like Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel, John McAfee and Mike Bloomberg (etc, etc) are cultivated by the Deep State to privatize taxpayer-funded, government technology and that the tech giants are just privatized arms of the Globalist intelligence apparatus.

    McKibben says that the idea that Elon is going to rescue us and restore our free speech is “Kabuki theater” and a “Complete psychological operation.

    “He has been a PSYOP since the early 2000s and we’ve watched him roam around in the PayPal Mafia…And then in 2008, Obama started feeding him cash and he got into the Energy Stimulus and then, magically, he got into the Space Program and then Tesla.”

    Several times over the course of their research, McKibben’s team have been floored by discoveries about how the world actually works in the spheres of high finance, governments and telecommunications.

    McKibben is the Founder of Leader Technologies and has been engaged in massive forensic research to produce indictable evidence for his case against Facebook.

    He claims his 1999 white paper with his revolutionary source code for the scalability of social media fell into Zuckerberg’s hands while the latter was attending Harvard as a classmate of his son. The verdict in McKibben’s case against Facebook said that Facebook HAD infringed on his patent – but that the patent was invalid due to an obscure law.

    He found that SpaceX’s portfolio included technology originally developed by a British company called Surrey Satellite Technology (SSTL) and which had been sold to EADS Astrium, a European aerospace conglomerate that includes Matra Marconi Space and Airbus Space Defense and Systems.”

    In 2006, he says British Aerospace (BAE) announced a partnership with SSTL, which McKibben says is the classic, interlocking model that the Pilgrims Society has been using to structure businesses for over a century, putting these businesses under the control of the British Crown through their golden shares.

    OUR “SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP”

    The Crown’s monopoly on British military technology was privatized in the 1970s, much of it in deals shepherded by Sir Geoffrey Pattie.

    While public shares of these companies were issued, the Crown’s golden shares kept control of the company in their hands. He says this is how SpaceX came under the control of the British Crown, as did General Electric and Lockheed Martin.

    He also notes “Another announcement that BAE Systems and this SSTL, which is SpaceX have done a joint venture with NASA and the US Department of Defense.”

    For the past several years, McKibben has been unearthing the filings of public-private partnerships between US and UK government agencies and corporations that reveal the true nature of our so-called “Special Relationship”.

    He’s found that the British Crown appears to “both direct and shill” for BAE, Lockheed Martin, DOD, US State Department, US Patent Office, US Commerce Department, USAID, HHS, DOE, NSA, CIA, FBI, DOJ, Gates Foundation, Wall Street and Silicon Valley and that much of this implemented via members of the Senior Executive Service and Serco.

    Most Americans are lulled by a sense that the British power structure is friendly to the people of the US. Great pains have been taken over a long period of time to promote this idea, from Hollywood films to the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

    But if we look closer, we find that a lot of the psychological warfare being waged against the US populace via the mainstream media, ranging from the Russia Hoax and endless coup against Trump, to allegations of Syrian President Assad’s “gas attacks”, to the entire COVID PSYOP and the war in Ukraine have all been executed by British Intelligence or their contractors.

    The seemingly Tinfoil Hat notion that the US lost the war for freedom from British rule during the War of 1812 and that the Crown dictates policy (and almost everything else) in both countries was probably first explained in detail by Dr John Coleman, author of the 1992 book, The Conspirator’s Hierarchy: The Committee of 300, which I read the year it was released and that you can read for free here.

    ELON’S “FREE SPEECH” = SOCIAL CREDIT SYSTEM

    McKibben continues, “Then, we look at yesterday’s disclosure of the sale of Twitter to Elon Musk and what we see is a smoking gun inside that description of the deal…They’ve put out a lot of very good propaganda that’s got everybody fooled that Elon Musk is going to come in and save free speech in America.

    “One of the things that’s in there is they are going to ‘authenticate humans’. When you see the word, ‘authenticate’ in anything related to technology and communications, what that means is they’re going to make sure they know who you are, when you’re online, who you’re chatting with and so, they’re ‘saving’ you from the bots.

    “They actually talk about this mission to ‘stop the spam bots’. So, in order to do that, they’ve got to know who you are. So, on the one side, they say they’re going to give you free speech, on the other side, what they’re not telling you is, in order to give you that free speech, we have to take away all of your privacy rights.

    “And so, in the same announcement, they’ve done both and they put out the propaganda on the free speech part, which has got almost everyone singing Elon Musk’s praises and thinking he’s changed his stripes but there is absolutely no way that that is what’s going on, here.”

    DATA IS THE NEW MONEY

    The rise of Big Tech can be correlated to the legislative and technological developments created for achieving “Total Information Awareness” in the wake of the 2001 Patriot Act and the 2007 Protect America Act, which directly enabled NSA’s PRISM surveillance program.

    Facebook, Google and other Big Tech companies were funded through CIA incubators, like In-Q-Tel and the Highlands Forum. Social media was always intended to be a form of privatized intelligence-gathering, to enable intelligence agencies and law enforcement to circumvent Constitutional law to spy on platform users.

    These Silicon Valley datamining and social engineering platforms have since grown to have the greatest market capitalizations of all other corporations on Earth.

    With Saudi Arabia vowing to go Green, US-sanctioned countries circumventing the petrodollar, the UN’s Agenda 21 and many European jurisdictions planning to phase out gasoline engines in the next few years, it’s clear that the age of invading oil-rich countries to control their resources has come to an end – and with it, the petrodollar and the Second Generation warfare that dominated that era.

    As the US dollar collapses, there’s a rush to roll out 5G and the IOT, which will be necessary for the Global Currency Reset (GCR) and the full implementation of the Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC), which may help explain the insane antics we have witnessed to force-vaxx the world’s population, being that there’s a lot of evidence that the “magic juice” contains nanocircuitry to create MAC addresses within the bodies of the vaxxed that are, in turn connected to the IOB.

    The same way the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has skirted safety laws around wireless technology and how the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) has been used to compel all big data corporations to supply the NSA with their user data, with “98% of PRISM production being based on Yahoo, Google, and Microsoft” in 2013, Governments around the world and Big Pharma have similarly flouted all laws to force-vaxx the planet.

    The military/industrial complex has moved on to biowarfare and to fifth-generation warfare, which is conducted primarily through social engineering, misinformation, cyberattacks, along with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and fully autonomous systems.

    Presumably, this means the rest of our lives will be characterized by the aggressive propaganda and censorship under which we have labored for the past several years.

    The Globalists will need to dominate the next era by controlling all of the data, hence the IOT/IOB, where everything and everyone will become a node on the network – and where wrongthink in your tweets will torpedo your social credit score – something that is already a fact of life in Communist China.

    GARBAGE-IN-GARBAGE-OUT: MINISTRY OF TRUTH

    Enter the Department of Homeland Security, which was enacted shortly after the Patriot Act and which is currently headed by Alejandro Mayorkas, who last Wednesday announced the creation of the Disinformation Governance Board.

    This new Ministry of Truth is to be headed up by Nina Jankowicz, an extreme DNC partisan, who has worked with the Atlantic Council, the Ukrainian government and with British Intelligence and who has referred to Hunter Biden’s laptop as “Russian disinformation”.

    In other words, Jankowicz is connected to the same group of Crown agents that did the Russia Hoax and fake impeachment against Trump and who have now driven us to the precipice of a nuclear war with Russia.

    Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert tweeted on Saturday, “The Ministry of Truth was placed under DHS. Not the FCC, but DHS. You only do that it you plan on having an enforcement component.”

    On Sunday, Mayorkas carpet-bombing the media with appearances, in which he channeled George Orwell, claiming his new department was the “Opposite of the Ministry of Truth” and that Jankowicz was “Eminently qualified and neutral” and that his Disinformation Governance Board would not spy on Americans.

    Nobody believes him, because the government has been spying on our every move for years and because COVID Hoax has been railroading us into the China Model of contact tracing and social credit since the very beginning.

    Because, “Two weeks to flatten the curve.”

    Mayorkas also controls US Customs and Border Protection and he is systematically doing everything in his power to undermine his department’s mission, by allowing millions of illegal immigrants, criminals and terrorists to cross the Southern Border.

    Who knows? Some of them may be blowing up our food processing facilities, another one of which burnt down in Virginia on Saturday night.

    One begins to understand why newspapers and TV truly are the Dinosaur Media. While their one-way data flows of Fake News may have some propagandistic utility, their low interactivity and low correlation with reality create a Garbage-in-Garbage-Out dissonance which interferes with the project to construct a digital facsimile of everything on this planet and beyond, aka the Internet of Things (IOT), the Internet of Bodies (IOB), the Global Information Grid (GIG) and all of the machine learning and 5G necessary to drive Elon’s Tesla autonomous vehicles and to provide “human enhancement” via Elon’s Neuralink brain implants.

    Is this why Elon is trying to corral the distortions caused by censorship and propaganda?"
    Each breath a gift...

    When the announcement regarding Ministries of (un)Truth were made public, I wondered if Musk was the public face of: Problem / Reaction / Solution for the next step. Many people are thinking he must support freedom of speech with the reaction of the governments who would now see him as the enemy. But it seems Musk and the Ministries just a part of the show.

    It appears more and more to me that this Disinformation Governance Board (Ministry of Truth) effort is not really a serious attempt to accomplish narrative control - due to the idiot appointed to lead this effort...

    Maybe it's just more hopium on my part, but it seems to me that these events really are somehow designed (by who or what I can't say) to wake up the sleeping, mind-controlled masses.

    The incompetence in displayed government leadership is so over the top, a clown-world incarnate.

    later edit - or she might be only the public face of the effort, to cause folks to have thoughts like mine above, dismissing this clown show in error.

    Question Re: We do not accept a Ministry of Truth in America

    With old-fashioned bureaucratic planning, the empire's new Ministry Of Truth flexed its claws

    Coordinated within a few days- the pathetic Project Mockingbird 3.1 operative, The Daily Beast, published a hitpiece on the most excellent antiwar voices: Lee Camp, Max Blumenthal, Sameera Khan, Ben Norton, Li Jingjing, and Danny Haiphong

    just check out their scary header pic - BE AFRAID!!

    Like a well-oiled Maschinenmensch, the empire's Big Tech appendage, Paypal, launched a purge of other excellent but very naughty leftwing voices a few days later





    But this isn't a Left/Right thing. Remember last month when Twitter banned the brilliant center-conservative Scott Ritter & leftist genius journo, Pepe Escobar?

    It's just imperial business, baby! The Ministry Of Truth treats all dissenting voices with equal institutional censure

    Greenwald: Homeland Security's "Disinformation Board" Is Even More Pernicious Than It Seems


    WEDNESDAY, MAY 04, 2022 - 08:20 PM
    Authored by Glenn Greenwald via greenwald.substack.com,

    The most egregious and blatant official disinformation campaign in the U.S. took place three weeks before the 2020 presidential election. That was when dozens of former intelligence officials purported to believe that authentic emails regarding Joe Biden's activities in China and Ukraine, reported by The New York Post, were "Russian disinformation.” That quasi-official proclamation enabled liberal corporate media outlets to uncritically mock and then ignore those emails as “Russian disinformation,” and pressured Big Tech platforms such as Facebook and Twitter to censor the reporting at exactly the time Americans were preparing to decide who would be the next U.S. president.



    The letter from these former intelligence officials was orchestrated by trained career liars — disinformation agents — such as former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. Yet that letter was nonetheless crucial to discredit and ultimately suppress the New York Post's incriminating reporting on Biden. It provided a quasi-official imprimatur — something that could be depicted as an authoritative decree — that these authentic emails were, in fact, fraudulent.

    After all, if all of these noble and heroic intelligence operatives who spent their lives studying Russian disinformation were insisting that the Biden emails had all of the "hallmarks" of Kremlin treachery, who possessed the credibility to dispute their expert assessment? This clip from the media leader in spreading this CIA pre-election lie — CNN — features their national security analyst James Clapper, and it illustrates how vital this pretense of officialdom was in their deceitful disinformation campaign:



    This same strategic motive — to vest accusations of “disinformation” with the veneer of expertise — is what has fostered a new, very well-financed industry heralding itself as composed of “anti-disinformation" scholars. Knowing that Americans are inculcated from childhood to believe that censorship is nefarious — that it is the hallmark of tyranny — those who wish to censor need to find some ennobling rationale to justify it and disguise what it is.

    They have thus created a litany of neutral-sounding groups with benign names — The Atlantic Council, the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, various "fact-checking” outfits controlled by corporate media outlets — that claim to employ “anti-disinformation experts” to identify and combat fake news. Just as media corporations re-branded their partisan pundits as "fact-checkers" -- to masquerade their opinions as elevated, apolitical authoritative, decrees of expertise -- the term "disinformation expert" is designed to disguise ideological views on behalf of state and corporate power centers as Official Truth.

    Yet when one subjects these groups to even minimal investigative scrutiny, one finds that they are anything but apolitical and neutral. They are often funded by the same small handful of liberal billionaires (such as George Soros and Pierre Omidyar), actual security state agencies of the U.S., the UK or the EU, and/or Big Tech monopolies such as Google and Facebook.

    Indeed, the concept of “anti-disinformation expert” is itself completely fraudulent. This is not a real expertise but rather a concocted title bestowed on propagandists to make them appear more scholarly and apolitical than they are. But the function of this well-funded industry is the same as the one served by the pre-election letter from “dozens of former intelligence officials": to discredit dissent and justify its censorship by infusing its condemnation with the pretense of institutional authority. The targeted views are not merely wrong; they have been adjudged by official, credentialed experts to constitute "disinformation.”

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This scam is the critical context for understanding why the Biden Administration casually announced last week the creation of what it is calling a "Disinformation Board” inside the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). There is no conceivable circumstance in which a domestic law enforcement agency like DHS should be claiming the power to decree truth and falsity. Operatives in the U.S. Security State are not devoted to combatting disinformation. The opposite is true: they are trained, career liars tasked with concocting and spreading disinformation. As Politico's Jack Schafer wrote:

    Who among us thinks the government should add to its work list the job of determining what is true and what is disinformation? And who thinks the government is capable of telling the truth? Our government produces lies and disinformation at industrial scale and always has. It overclassifies vital information to block its own citizens from becoming any the wiser. It pays thousands of press aides to play hide the salami with facts….Making the federal government the official custodian of truth would be like Brink’s giving a safe-cracker a job driving an armored car.

    The purpose of Homeland Security agents is to propagandize and deceive, not enlighten and inform. The level of historical ignorance and stupidity required to believe that U.S. Security State operatives are earnestly devoted to exposing and decreeing truth — as CNN's Brian Stelter evidently believes, given that he praised this new government program as “common sense” — is off the charts. As Jameel Jaffer, formerly of the ACLU and now with the Columbia’s Knight First Amendment Institute put it, most troubling is “the fact that the board is housed at DHS, an especially opaque agency that has run roughshod over civil liberties in the past.”

    Typically, any attempt to apply George Orwell's warning novel 1984 to U.S. politics is reflexively dismissed as hyperbolic: a free and democratic country like the United States could not possibly fall prey to the dystopian repression Orwell depicts. Yet it is quite difficult to distinguish this “Disinformation Board” from Ingsoc's Ministry of Truth. The protagonist of Orwell's novel, Winston Smith, worked in the Ministry of Truth and described at length how its primary function was to create official versions of truth and falsity, which always adhered to the government's needs of the moment and were subject to radical change as those interests evolved.

    That the Board will be run by such a preposterous and laughable figure as Nina Jankowicz — a liberal cartoon, a caricature of a #Resistance Twitter fanatic who spent 2016 posting adolescent partisan tripe such as: “Maybe @HillaryClinton's most important point so far: ‘A @realDonaldTrump presidency would embolden ISIS.’ #ImWithHer” — has, in some sense, made this board seem more benign and harmless. After all,

    good news... Fox News reporting.

    20 Republican-led states threaten legal action against DHS, urge disbanding of 'un-American' disinfo board

    Quote EXCLUSIVE: Republican-led states are threatening legal action against Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) new "Disinformation Governance Board," which they deem "un-American" and chilling to the free speech of Americans.

    Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares is leading GOP attorneys general in sending a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas Thursday demanding that the department "cease taking action" contributing to a "chilling effect" on free speech.

    "This is an unacceptable and downright alarming encroachment on every citizen’s right to express his or her opinions, engage in political debate, and disagree with the government," write the 20 attorneys general in a letter exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital.


    The Republicans raise concern with the timing of the board's creation, saying it comes after the Biden administration has "flagged problematic posts" on social media and worked with Big Tech companies and the private sector to take down "misinformation" off its platforms.

    "Suddenly, just as Elon Musk prepares to acquire Twitter with the stated purpose of correcting the platform’s censorship of free speech, you announce the creation of the Disinformation Governance Board. As the Biden Administration apparently loses a critical ally in its campaign to suppress speech it deems "problematic," you have created a new government body to continue that work within the federal government," says the letter to Mayorkas.

    "The contemporaneous occurrence of these two events is hard to explain away as mere coincidence. It instead raises troubling questions about the extent of the Biden Administration’s practice of coordinating with private-sector companies to suppress disfavored speech."

    The attorneys general also state that "no statutory authority" exists to support the creation of the board, making it illegal.

    They also take issue with the executive director of the board, Nina Jankowicz, who they say is "often in error but never in doubt," pointing to her previous suggestions that Hunter Biden's laptop was a product of a disinformation campaign and that the COVID-19 lab-leak theory was invented to help former President Trump politically.

    "Unless you turn back now and disband this Orwellian Disinformation Governance Board immediately, the undersigned will have no choice but to consider judicial remedies to protect the rights of their citizens," the attorneys general conclude.

    Republican members of the House Homeland Security Committee also wrote a letter to Mayorkas Thursday, demanding DHS provide basic information to the committee including the disinformation board's organization, members, schedule and recommendations.

    "Your recent testimony and media statements regarding the board, as well as a recent briefing for Committee staff, have only created more questions and concern," says the letter, led by Ranking Member Rep. Jon Katko, R-N.Y., and exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital.

    "What this would do is continue [CISA's] work, and it would help coordinate internal activities from the department related to disinformation that poses a threat to the homeland," Psaki said Monday. "The mandate is not to adjudicate what is true or false, online or otherwise. It will operate in a nonpartisan and apolitical manner. It's basically meant to coordinate a lot of the ongoing work that is happening."

    DHS did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment on the letter Thursday.

    Tony Kinnett's concerns over the Biden administration's proposed "Disinformation Governance Board" compelled him to create a wildly popular Twitter page that reeled in 150,000 followers in only two days.

    Kinnett, journalist and director for both The Chalkboard Review and Choice Media, recounted what compelled him to start his "U.S. Ministry of Truth" account during an interview with Fox News Digital, where he also delved into his thoughts on the Biden administration's "dystopian" move.



    Logo of the U.S. Ministry of Truth parody Twitter page (Credit: U.S. Ministry of Truth on Twitter, Tony Kinnett).

    The idea started with an image, the logo synonymous with the account.

    "When I heard about the U.S. Disinformation Governance Board, I thought, well, what would a seal of that look like?" he said.

    "I made the seal and threw it up on Twitter and a few friends shared it … Everyone was talking about [the disinformation board]. It was getting universal scorn, and it was almost impossible to defend, so I thought let's go ahead and pile on."
    Kinnett said he was shocked to find no other accounts bearing the name he sought to use.

    "[I thought] I'm sure that there are already like 30 Ministry of Truth accounts … and I looked and there were none and all the usernames that I could have wanted were available, which is very unusual for Twitter," he said, adding that he selected the "U.S. Ministry of Truth" title as a nod to the dystopian society from George Orwell's "1984."


    George Orwell

    Orwellian language runs rampant on the page as a key element of the tongue-in-cheek takedown of the Biden administration's controversial move, with the fictitious department crediting its origin to the year 1984 and with tweets mirroring language from the novel – including one noting that the "clocks are striking thirteen."
    Kinnett told Fox News Digital there is a reason behind the Orwellian bombardment.

    "How could it be anything else?" He asked "It's because [the board] is laughably dystopian. I mean, we're the nation that, for its entire existence, has championed free speech as our governing principle. It's what we used as our number one bat to beat the Soviet Union in the Cold War, it's what we promoted day in and day out, through every presidential election, every debate, every single interview with American politicians.

    "We have driven home the point that, at no time, shall the government interfere with the process of free speech. I mean, our presidents go to roasting sessions with correspondent journalists [at] dinners. That's something that doesn't happen in almost any place in the world."
    Kinnett said the U.S. has turned into a "parody" of the Evil Empire with its newfound love for "limiting information."

    "They're not even making it just a passing action the Department of Homeland Security thought they would enact quietly. They made a board called the disinformation board. Really?" he said. "It's insane to see this Orwellian vibe being fostered and nurtured in the public atmosphere."

    He then lambasted the Biden administration for what he called the "dumbest political move" he has heard in ages and called the disinformation board "political suicide" in light of November's midterms.

    Kinnett lamented the progressive left's push to crack down on citizens' free speech using a government entity with powers not enumerated in the Constitution. He even feared that going so far could lead to violence.

    "You could genuinely make a case that it's inciting violence, and I'm not trying to be dramatic," he said. "I do think that if the government comes out and says Citizen X, Y, Z has lied, then you are telling the rest of the country that that individual is dangerous and should have some kind of action taken against them. That's genuinely terrifying."



    WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 09: Elon Musk, founder and chief engineer of SpaceX speaks at the 2020 Satellite Conference and Exhibition March 9, 2020 in Washington, D.C.

    Kinnett also weighed in on billionaire Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter, saying he thinks his possible changes would improve the platform.

    "So far I've seen him engaging with conservatives the same engaging with liberals, with traditionalists and progressives. I do not believe that he's going to restrict freedom of speech in any of the ways that it's been told that he will," he said.


    "Then again, most of the criticisms about his taking over Twitter aren't accusing him of a plot to limit free speech, only to increase hate speech, which I don't see any evidence of," he continued.

    Kinnet's satirical U.S. Ministry of Truth account continues to gain thousands of new followers after kicking off with its first tweet last week.

    The account had garnered approximately 220,000 followers by Wednesday afternoon.

    Small history lesson maybe, i don't know

    Don't know if you learned about this, but...

    Back when the Russian empire fell, the Soviets took over, but there were lots and lots of people who were not in agreement of how things were happening, so there was the "White Army" who started a war against the "Red Army", eventually the Red Army won, but not because they were better, they were actually losing, then the White Army lost support in some ways and then soldiers lost the will to fight, they gave up and finally accepted it was the end of the Russian Empire

    What happened to all those "White Army" soldiers and families? Lots of them were destroyed, and lots, the majority, got integrated into the new 'reality' of the Soviets

    Soon after the defeat of the White army, the Soviet lifestyle was the "new normal", and we all know very very well how that happened and went on

    So, now that we are seeing the same thing happening in the US, questions come to mind:

    - Are you in disagreement of the "new reality"? Then what, what are you going to do about it?
    - If you can't do anything about it, will you just merge and stay silent (dormant)?
    - What if you go fight and then lose, what do you expect from this later on? Whatcha gonna do?

    There is a reason that quote exists "Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it" or something like that

    Where are we right now, as far as "Soviet States of the North America Union"? SSNAU?

    Welp, it doesn't have that menacing and mysterious 'USSR' or 'CCCP' feeling, oh well

    Oh wait, we are missing something here

    (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) USSR or CCCP

    so

    (Union of American Socialist Republics) UASR or САСР

    Wait, maybe this!

    (Union of the Council of the American-Socialist Republics) UCASR or CCACP

    Wait but that's just not cool enough. Nope, never mind, still not as cool

    Also the EU already has "The European Council" and the EU is already like "The Union of the Council of the American-European States" so it's kind of redundant after all

    Never mind

    ETA:

    The way this looks like its going, the portrait of George Washington will be removed and replaced by Stalin... LMAO

    Stalin invented 'cancelling' culture in the first place! But the US made an exceptional work out of it
