Censorship Continues on 'Free Speech Platform' X, Elon Musk Expanding Contracts With Intelligence Agencies After Saying 'I Have Actual Mossad Merch BTW. ... CIA Has Some Really Great Merch'
Censorship Didn't Go Away, Just Rebranded. WSJ Just Reported on SpaceX Cozying up With Intelligence Agencies, US Military... My X Account Censored After My Last Article, + Others Makes More Sense...
Gad Saad is a Canadian professor, a prominent pro-Israel voice, who recently told the Epoch Times that he used to be an Israeli intelligence agent. The AF Post reported on the matter, acknowledging him as a “staunch Zionist”
A couple days after this went viral, Gad Saad called for censoring the Anti-Zionist League which was drawing attention to him being a former Israeli intelligence agent. Musk’s twitter had obliged the request to censor the Anti-Zionist League.
Elon Musk had replied to Gad Saad 4 times in 2 hours, including this exchange.
Elon Musk having obliged this request to “shut it down!”, responded: "I have actual Mossad Merch btw. But the CIA has some really great merch."
To me, this felt very much like the infamous “We will coup whoever we want! Deal with it.” statement “which many took as an ironic, gaslighting admission that that he was involved in the coup, rather than ludicrous mockery.” adding “Also, we get our lithium from Australia” (Which was a lie, as my article in May discussed….)
Before we get into that, as to not “bury the lead” so they say, as I was writing this, the Wall Street Journal published an exclusive titled, “Musk’s SpaceX Forges Tighter Links With U.S. Spy and Military Agencies”
SpaceX is deepening its ties with U.S. intelligence and military agencies, winning at least one major classified contract and expanding a secretive company satellite program called Starshield for national-security customers.
The Elon Musk-led company entered into a $1.8 billion classified contract with the U.S. government in 2021, according to company documents viewed by The Wall Street Journal. SpaceX said in the documents that funds from the contract were expected to become an important part of its revenue mix in the coming years. It didn’t disclose the name of the government customer.
The Daily Caller reported on the matter, in “Musk’s SpaceX Has Deep Ties With US Intelligence Agencies — And They’re Only Getting Deeper”
Another example [besides the contract with the unknown government customer], even more secretive, is a contract with the National Reconnaissance Office, an intelligence agency tasked with collecting and analyzing satellite data for customers across the federal government, the WSJ reported, citing people familiar. It was unclear exactly which SpaceX technology the NRO was utilizing.
“The public still doesn’t understand even a tiny fraction of the power of the censorship government-industrial complex.” - Elon Musk
I chose to revisit the Bolivia coup / ACISA / Elon Musk topic after Elon announced the hiring of Linda Yaccarino.
You can find my original 2019 reporting on the Bolivia Coup, including Tesla’s association with it, here [was censored by Facebook quickly after publication].
...In 2018, following Bolivia having initially struck the deal with ACISA, EE News Europe published the article, “German Venture Taps Bolivian Lithium Deposits”
The introductory paragraph reads:
”With the planned establishment of a public-private joint venture between the Bolivian state enterprise Yacimientos de Litio Bolivianos (YLB) and the German ACI Systems Alemania GmbH (ACISA), Germany is to gain access to the raw material. ACISA’s customers include Siemens, Continental, BMW, IBM, Tesla, First Solar, Bosch and the Fraunhofer research company. “
RT reported on the matter, dedicating an entire article to it, “‘We will coup whoever we want’: Elon Musk Sparks Online Riot With Quip About Overthrow of Bolivia’s Evo Morales” - concluding with the sentence that “Although it’s true that Tesla receives lithium from Australia, it is also said to be one of ACISA’s clients.”
In other words, Elon Musk was being disingenuous, implying that Tesla had no direct ties to the situation, and they had nothing to gain from ACISA’s deal with the Bolivian government that was axed just days prior to the coup.
I again referenced the issue towards the end of a big article I wrote in August, titled, "The Suspiciously Convenient Timing of Covid for the Davos Elite and the WEF's 'Great Reset' — as I sought to address red flags of Elon Musk’s twitter, notably “Freedom of speech, not freedom of reach” and comments on “lawful but awful” content, by Linda Yaccarino.
8/11/23 — X CEO Linda Yaccarino: “Lawful But Awful” Content To Be Hidden [video]
"We've introduced a new policy called Freedom of speech, not reach" Said Linda Yaccarino "If you're going to post something that is lawful but is awful, you get labeled. You get deamplified which means it cannot be shared. And it is certainly demonetized"
See what she is saying there? “Okay we won’t overtly censor you if its awful, but if we, or our advertisers, (or maybe the mossad and CIA) don’t like it, we deamplify you so nobody actually sees it”.
Elon Musk would also speak on it:
Yet while twitter’s official policy is to limit visibility and algorithmically suppress whatever is deemed “lawful but awful” speech, Elon Musk talks out the other side of X’s mouth to say Twitter will uphold speech to the maximum extent the law allows, as he has repeatedly said since buying twitter - a claim he repeated just days ago:
“𝕏 does not have a choice but to obey local governments. If we don't obey local government laws, we will get shut down. We do our best to provide free speech that is possible under the law.”” - Elon Musk Feb 19th, 2024
But twitter / X’s actual actions and policies do not seem to be reflecting this. Throttling reach and stripping people of their voice on the platform for “lawful but awful” tweets, (who determines what is awful?)… that is contradictory to the spirit of free speech he is trying to pursue.
Linda Yaccarino herself being picked for CEO was also subject to much scrutiny, with her corporate background and being a WEF member.
One of the main thesis points of my convenient timing of covid article article was revolving around decentralized information streams via age of the internet threatening centralized power structures.
That, and the general WEF great reset agenda and the desire for technocratic control by global elites being partially if not largely driven by the rising dissatisfaction with the ruling class given the rise of the internet and increased access to information.
Something I had forgotten to even mention in previous reporting on this by myself, is when Linda Yaccarino said in 2018 at the WEF in Davos that the corporate media needs to educate younger viewers on news consumption:
“How do you educate a younger generation about news literacy?…They’re used to seeing someone’s phone cam onsite somewhere telling them what’s going on and they take that as real news.” - Linda Yaccarino — 2018 World Economic Forum panel on Global Business
In the Suspiciously Convenient Timing of Covid for the Davos Elite and the WEF’s ‘Great' Reset’, I related back to the Revisiting Elon Musk Lying About Bolivia article, featured above, as well as providing new important context.
The Bolivia debacle helps shed additional light on his potential (and actual) intertwinement with the national security state / complex, intelligence community, and the military industrial complex.
A few days before I published the article(above), Vigilant Fox published: “ ‘X’ Is Not Living Up to What Elon Musk Promised: Here’s Why”:
”The reality is that while Twitter, under Musk, was vocal about being a ‘free speech’ platform, there was an alarming increase in account bans and content deboosting.'
Such actions made one question the transparency and authenticity of Musk’s commitment. It’s evident that any content deemed ‘spicy’ or potentially contentious faced an 81% deboost, a statistic unsettling to many, especially when such determinations rely heavily on automated systems known for inaccuracies.”
Musk’s assurances were further undermined by policies rolled out, which eerily resembled the old ‘Twitter 1.0′ rules – stringent content guidelines against incitement, threats, or what they ambiguously termed ‘abusive content.’ It felt like a rerun, only under a different leadership banner.”
Since my publication in August, the situation has continued to develop:
A couple days after I published, ReclaimTheNet published “X CEO Linda Yaccarino Met with Pro-Censorship Group in the Weeks Ahead of X Suing CCDH”
9/27 — X CEO Linda Yaccarino Is “Successfully” Censoring “Lawful But Awful” Speech, Interview Reveals
The CEO of X, Linda Yaccarino, is once again plunged into a conversation surrounding the principles of free speech, shedding light on her standpoints which seem to contain inconsistencies.
…oscillation between defending free speech and avoiding the subject has drawn scrutiny, raising questions about the possible politicization of free speech and the role of tech giants in shaping public discourse.
…Yaccarino also during the interview repeated the contentious phrase “freedom of speech, not reach,” something that she has already been widely criticized for, as it suggests that X will have control over which voices are heard and which are not.
Yaccarino also repeated the equally contentions idea of X restricting what is “lawful but awful” speech and the interview reveals that X is “successfully” restricting such speech. Who is to decide what constitutes “awful?”
When I called into question Musk’s loyalties to free speech in light of his ties with the Pentagon, in “The Suspiciously Convenient Timing of Covid for the Davos Elite and the WEF’s Great Reset”, one of the recent headlines then, from June, read — CNBC: Pentagon Awards SpaceX With Ukraine Contract for Starlink Satellite Internet
A few months later, after I published the Convenient Timing of Covid for the Davos Elite in August, the following headline was published following developments:
10/1 — SpaceX Awarded $70 Million Pentagon Contract for Starshield[2]
According to SpaceX, Starshield is a variation of Starlink but designed for militaries. “Starshield leverages SpaceX’s Starlink technology and launch capability to support national security efforts. While Starlink is designed for consumer and commercial use, Starshield is designed for government use…
You can jump to the Elon Musk point in the article by going to this post in the twitter thread version of the article.
A fact that didn’t make it into the original segment of my August article, I had forgotten to initially include.. but was very relevant given the skepticism around Linda Yaccarino with her affiliation with the WEF:
”Bloomberg, 2008: The World Economic Forum out of Davos just announced its new 2008 list of YGLs—Young Global Leaders.
"Elon Musk, the chairman of Tesla Motors, the much-publicized electric sports-car company, is a new YGL."
In what seems to be poetic meta-hammering in of my point, that Elon Musk segment beginning post in the Convenient Timing of Covid for the Davos Elite and WEF’s Great Reset twitter thread has been censored in the fashion of like-scrubbing, not allowing myself or others to like the tweet. It has only 4 likes, and says the post is deleted whenever someone tries to like it, or the tweet count goes up momentarily on screen as you like, only to disappear when you back out and reenter the post (it is not deleted, you can try it for yourself, it does allow you to quote tweet)..
After realizing the technical “error” was happening when I dug up the old thread to embed a post, I made the post below asking my twitter / X followers if they were able to like the post in question, and others tried it out for themselves and were also getting the banner “This post has been deleted” [it had not been].
This was happening whether I liked it from my account, or an alt. (I thought I had already liked the whole thread…)
I took a screen recording a couple days after this, and while I am no longer seeing the “This post has been deleted” banner, you can see the like refuse to “stick”.
When one likes the post, the like will stay momentarily, and the like count will go from 4 to 5 likes, but then if you just leave the thread and return you find the like is quickly gone.
While revisiting the article thread seeking to embed it in the new excerpt thread, I saw I had not liked the post (thought I already did, and I probably did… but twitter probably removed my like, although I had more desire to consider the benefit of the doubt until…), tried liking it and, alas, I could not. And neither could various others who tested it.
This is an old tactic of soft censorship. Tulsi Gabbard’s famous “queen of warmongers” tweet towards Hillary Clinton suffered/suffers this as well as many other tweets from pre-Musk twitter. But the point is that this practice has continued into post-Musk Twitter / X as well as many other styles of censorship, such as shadow banning and reach limiting. I also was not/ am not receiving notifications for any quote tweets on that tweet above.
I had dug it up the censored post when making an excerpt thread of Musk’s segment in the article of mine cited above, the excerpt being titled “Is Musk Controlled Opposition?”
The segment highlights Twitter’s policy of “lawful but awful” speech and “Freedom of Speech, not reach”, X CEO Yaccarino’s affiliation with the WEF, Musk’s military contracts, Musk’s deceptive statements around the Bolivian coup, and additional signs he isn’t the free speech savior he pretends to be, and wants everyone to think he is.
Now obviously, I was fussing about this like scrubbing on my tweet from a few months before, and asking others to replicate and repeat it, which they were able to.
Then I woke up the next morning and discovered after a couple hours that when I visited the timeline of my account to find a tweet, I could not see any posts from the day before. In fact when I first noticed it before I began posting for the day leading with that post - and discovered that no previous post of mine would load on my timeline, aside from my pinned tweet - although as I tweeted that day, my posts began to populate on my timeline. This was also repeated and affirmed by others.
And it was also screen recorded (by this time I realized/ was reminded to screen record because of the comments where others demonstrated it was happening when they tried as well)
As I tweeted over time throughout the day, my scrubbed timeline began to populate with the fresh posts, which led a few stragglers that visited my thread to say yes, they could see my previous posts, having only scrolled a 4 or 5 posts instead of like 10 or 15. Although one also said they were able to scroll beyond the break off point (seen in video below), despite myself and the majority of others not being able to.
While some pointed fingers at AI and automated reach limiting techniques, I can’t help but see a pattern of censorship, especially when I’m getting censored when discussing censorship on the newly rebranded “Free speech” twitter / X.
And especially given my account being censored after I published my last article on Pizzagate / sex trafficking which made various ties intelligence agencies, the Mossad and the CIA. My Pizzagate / Sextrafficking thread got hidden from everyone including myself and followers. Then all my threads. Then my account was permanently suspended...
Then it was reinstated the same day, when Jimmy Dore and others blew the lid on a bunch of other accounts being purged and censored, many of which were critical of Israel. (As I was, in my Oct 7th Intelligence Stand Down Series).
”Im being censored heavily by twitter for making a thread about sex trafficking (which included various links to intelligence agencies ) Ironic.“
Some videos found in the comments of the once-censored thread.
(I think you should be able to see the rest of the thread now)
Video
To reemphasize again, it wasn’t just my account being censored at this time, but many people.
Maximum Free Speech Allowed by Law? Or “Lawful but Awful” Content Gets Censored and “Freedom of Speech, Not Reach”…. Which is it? You Can’t Have Both
Despite censorship being abound in twitter 2.0, many still view twitter as a good faith actor trying to revive free speech, as Elon still promotes himself as the savior of free speech. Elon Musk recently tweeted a meme reemphasizing the new twitter being branded as pro free speech.
He has been making a lot of tweets like this recently, really leaning into the free speech marketing as he cozies up with intelligence agencies.
Being that this meme had been posted right after my human trafficking article was being censored as the zeitgeist was on my side with the Epstein court documents coming out (and right before the recently observed censorship discussed above)…. I had to make a meme about it. Ignore the typo.
The 3 headlines you see above is my aforementioned Oct 7th Stand Down Series - displayed below.
I think the continued censorship (both covert and overt) a year after Musk taking over twitter, the declared “freedom of speech not reach” policy, and other red flags, such as his major companies having major contracts with the US military (and apparently now intelligence agencies), point to Musk having rebranded censorship, rather than eliminated it.
And again, a bunch of accounts were censored at the same time as mine, most of which had been / were critical of Israel or Musk, or like me, both. Additionally, criticism of Bill Ackman seemed to be a running theme in the purge. The youtube video below discusses “Elon Musk’s weak sauce response to criticism that these accounts were purged because of their Israel stance or criticisms of his pal Bill Ackman”
There have been multiple indications of Musk holding a Pro-Israel stance. At this point, it is VERY safe to say that he does. It is certain. He, of course, went to Israel for the propaganda photo-ops with Netanyahu after the Oct 7th attack. Elon Musk met Netanyahu in Kibbutz Kfar Aza, in November, where one of the attacks took place on October the 7th.[Video]
“During his trip Musk agreed on Starlink usage in Israel including Gaza, for international organizations.”
Al Jazeera reported that as result of his trip, ”Elon Musk has agreed not to activate Starlink over the besieged Gaza Strip without Israeli approval, says Israel's communications minister.”
And Musk also joined Netanyahu in X spaces to bend the knee, and said “The propaganda against Israel must stop.'' - while ignoring the mounds of evidence for deceptive propaganda by Israel since Oct 7th up unto that point.
Musk also deemed "decolonization" a euphemism for genocide, a phrase to be banned from Twitter:
"As I said earlier this week, “decolonization”, “from the river to the sea” and similar euphemisms necessarily imply genocide.
Max Blumenthal commented on this, remarking that “Musk has just caved [to the censorship industrial complex] … while inadvertently acknowledging that Israel is a settler-colonial entity”:
But while calling for “decolonization” is deemed a euphemism for genocide, plenty of zionists calling for actual genocide are allowed to remain tweeting *actual* genocidal rhetoric without any issue.
The normalization of genocidal rhetoric towards Gazans and Palestinians is how congressmen feel emboldened to propagate it, with the recent case being on Feb 21st, as I was aiming to publish this piece: ‘We Should Kill Them All’: TN Congressman Andy Ogles Responds To Questions On US Involvement In Gaza
As The Guardian noted on Oct 19th:
Senator Lindsey Graham wants to see Gaza flattened. Congressman Max Miller said the laws of war should be swept aside. A former US ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, suggested that Palestinians as a whole were responsible for Hamas’s crimes.
…Graham described the conflict as a “religious war” and called on the Israelis to “level the place”.
“Gaza is going to look like Tokyo and Berlin at the end of world war two when this is over. And if it doesn’t look that way, Israel made a mistake,” he told Fox News.That was a sentiment echoed by another Republican senator, Tom Cotton.
“As far as I’m concerned, Israel can bounce the rubble in Gaza. Anything that happens in Gaza is the responsibility of Hamas,” he told Fox News Sunday in reference to a warning by Winston Churchill about the dangers of the nuclear arms race leading to a war that will make the “rubble bounce”.
Senator Marco Rubio called for Israel to “respond disproportionately”.
The Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, told a campaign rally in Iowa that one way or another Palestinians were all complicit in Hamas’s crimes.
“If you look at how they behave, not all of them are Hamas, but they are all antisemitic,” he said.
Max Miller [Ohio rep and former Trump aid] called on the Biden administration “to get out of Israel’s way and to let Israel do what it needs to do best”. He said there should be “no rules of engagement”.
The point is that while zionists have been getting away with very similar statements towards Gazans on twitter, Elon’s X has been censoring or even removing many pro-Palestine or anti-Israel accounts left and right, including journalists such as Kit Klarenberg and Alan MacLeod (MacLeod recently reinstated while Klarenberg has not)
X Partnered With Israeli Firm for ID Verification, Firm Founded by Shin Bet Agents
Before all this Oct 7th fallout, X had already partnered with an Israeli tech firm months in August of 2023, to provide ID verification… The Israeli tech firm was of course a company founded by two former Shin Bet members - Au10TIX.
As many have pointed out, "Au10TIX was founded by former agents of Israel's Shin Bet general security service”
8/21/23 — Middle East Eye — X: 'Deep concern' at social media company partnering with Israeli verification firm
8/21/23 — Al Jazeera: X Blue Users Will Need To Send Selfie, Data To Israeli Software Company
Mint Press: 10/31/23 — Identity Verification Or Data Exposure? Twitter Using Israeli Tech Firm Headed By Ex-military Officials To Verify Users
Since the purge in January, which garnered attention and saw many of the accounts being reinstated (including mine), the censorship has continued. Just recently, the Grayzone’s Kit Klarenberg was suspended… along with other accounts and journalists critical of Israel.
Gdebatta is one I just noticed on Feb 23rd while trying to polish this up, when I was going to embed a post of his on twitter. One thats been censored recently as well, going on a week, is Kit Klarenberg of TheGrayZone.
Wyatt Reed contextualized: “Kit’s suspension comes less than a week after he exposed Britain’s draconian new National Security Act:”
Kit Klarenberg does great work as a journalist for the
, and just so happens to be critical of Israel like so many other accounts censored recently and back to Oct 7th. Although he pokes the war machine on all fronts. One of his hard hitting headlines a couple months ago in December read: “Ukrainian Trial Demonstrates 2014 Maidan Massacre was False Flag”. But the theme of censorship seems to be the general targeting pro-Palestine or anti-Israel accounts.Cassandra MacDonald recently called out the censorship of Pal_actionUS, a Palestine focused activist / aggregation account.
While the censorship continues, Musk continues to be playing the part of championing free speech.
The Insider posted 2 headlines on Feb 20th:
Insider Paper 3:21 EST — Norwegian MP Has Nominated Elon Musk For The Nobel Peace Prize For His Work To Champion Free Speech.
Man, Elon wasn’t kidding when he recently said “The public still doesn’t understand even a tiny fraction of the power of the censorship government-industrial complex”
…. and many continue to champion and trust him - falling bait, hook, and sinker for the roleplay and rhetoric.
I call it roleplay and rhetoric, because if you look beyond what he tweets, and look at what his X is doing, among other context clues like SpaceX’s military contracts, and now we know multiple intelligence agencies … it isn’t hard to see actions and incentives that are contradictory to his free speech rhetoric.
Bill Ackman was recently featured by Chief Nerd days ago, in “Power of 𝕏 in Protecting Free Speech & 'Counterbalancing the Government'“ (remember as described above, many accounts censored by Elon’s twitter / X in the January purge were critical of Ackman).
Ackman states: "We do owe Elon enormous thanks for this...The media plays a very important role and they can destroy people. At least we now have some ability to fight back. We have a platform where we can surface our views...Having an independently owned powerful platform is very important for truth, for free speech, for hearing the other side of the story, for counterbalancing the government."
Yeah… but what if that’s what the government wants you to think?
The same government that Elon has Millions of dollars in contracts with? What happens if counterbalancing government is deemed "lawful but awful"?
Can we surface our views if we have "freedom of speech but not reach?"
Musk’s Space X already had large contracts with the military before taking over twitter, and since then, it has expanded its scope, including contracts with intelligence agencies (whose merch Musk loves).
Many of those falling for the savior narrative, to put it bluntly, likely don’t even see the criticism levied at him, or talks of censorship under the new twitter regime, by the very nature of censorship. For example, how would people see my thread critical of Elon if it’s reach is throttled and I’m tweeting into what amounts to a digital void, or echo chamber?
Or especially if my posts are being hidden, even from followers, who have the specific URL for the post (happened to me after my Pizzagate article inspiring me to make the meme below)
While the “Elon Musk is Saving Free Speech” narrative / theatre has encaptivated much of the independent sphere as the censorship industrial complex marches on, some are waking up to Elon’s twitter /x as the company again and again demonstrates that censorship has not gone away, only rebranded.
An excerpt from a recent Syrian girl tweet, who was also just recently censored with an account suspension:
I am back on Twitter… However, since Ben Shapiro took Elon Musk to Auschwitz and then to Netanyahu, this platform has began to censor pro-Palestine voices. Shutting it down upon request.
Even geostrategic analysis is not longer allowed. I have had to wipe out some excellent historical tweets some of which had 100K retweets. It felt like I book burning and I mourn it. But that is what it takes to live to fight another day.
Even Matt Taibbi, whom Musk elevated by partnering with on the Twitter Files, is claiming to be censored with a "blanket search ban" at one point and reach throttling / suppression
Another instance of him calling out X shenanigans was in September, where Taibbi wrote: "Come on, X. You're blocking direct messages now? Adults can't be trusted to correspond with one another?
This country gets stupider every day."
Funny that Matt Taibbi is complaining about DMs being hidden, when I have had my DMs to others apparently deleted. I have also noticed a direct message conversation get scrubbed on my side of things past few months when I checked recently upon learning my conversations with others was being deleted on their side.
While I think there are indications much of the ongoing censorship is targeted over specific issues in the interest of protecting certain parties and narratives, much of the worry is algorithmic, (and visa versa if one’s focus is algorythmic). Note: The “mass reporting” phenomenon might be seen as a combination of both, where a group targets accounts to mass report, exploiting the algorithm automatically shutting down an account until manual review upon a certain frequency of reports. Same goes for those directing spam sexbots to like and engage with tweets, most of which is likely automated but much of which could be for the point of censoring algorithmically.
A good thread to read, one of the most interesting points of which highlighted the fact that interacting with “low-reputation” accounts has your own account penalized by the algorithm. “Interacting with Low Reptation Accounts….
Reply to someone with a bad following ratio? Someone who talks about controversial topics? You'll get dinged too"
Good thing Mr. anti-globalist freedom fighting Musk bought Twitter to save the day and save us from social credit scores.
Gee, I can’t wait for the everything app….
While I say that sarcastically, accounts caught up in the Musk hero-worship circle jerk are saying it unironically.
10/31/23 — Elon Musk’s ‘Everything App’ Plan For X, In His Own Words
During an employee all-hands, Musk said that Twitter became X to replace YouTube, LinkedIn, FaceTime, dating apps, and even your bank.
… Elon Musk: “…[An] all-inclusive feature set that you can basically do anything you want on our system. Obviously, that’s not to the exclusion of other apps, but I think the fundamental thing that’s missing that would be incredibly useful is a single application that encompasses everything. You can do payments, messages, video, calling, whatever you’d like, from one single, convenient place.They have this in China, to some degree, with WeChat. We just don’t have that. It doesn’t exist outside of China. … I think we can actually create something ultimately that exceeds WeChat. We can do some pretty incredible stuff here.
I saw the twitter algorithm thread, breaking down ways the algo penalizes you, and noticing how it penalizes users for their following/follower ratio, for interacting with “low reputation” accounts, etc - and extrapolating that to an “everything app” which Musk wants to turn X into… it wasn’t hard for my mind and others to drift to social credit scores. Wechat may not be the only system from China Musk admires.
Many saw the algorithmic mechanisms of penalizing follower ratios, and a “reputation” system that penalizes interactions with “low reputation individuals” along with some other algorithmic designs as incentivizing a bandwagon herd-mentality effect and dis-incentivizing oppositional thought, where deviating from what is considering okay by corporate advertisers results in not only your account being censored, and assigned a low reputation, but others are also penalized for engaging with you, and incentivized not to interact with you, let alone echo an unpopular opinion themselves.
Low reputation = banished to the shadow realm to talk to yourself in the void
Again…. Can’t wait for the everything app.
As I have already implied, I don’t think the censorship is just about serving advertisers. Add the military and intelligence agencies and Israeli geopolitical interests. Funny how accounts critical of Israel keep being censored.
The past few weeks, I have seen a lot of examples of smaller accounts [1,2,3] complaining about being struck with a “label” by the algo lately, and I myself was a couple weeks ago from my alt and main.
When my sex trafficking / pizzagate article thread had my account posts being hidden from everyone, “This post is unavailable”, this dude Ive never interacted with before popped in my thread where to say “Psyops Lit! And I’m loving every second of it”
When I took a cursory glance at his profile, I quickly found him retweeting a military intelligence cyber brigade…
A month later, on February 8th, a few days before the mutuals just mentioned, I received a label on my alt, @PsyopDaily, I was using heavily since my main account was being heavily throttled even after the suspension was lifted.
My point in this is it isn’t just big accounts and journalists being censored. In fact, most censorship is probably against smaller accounts that can’t effectively draw attention to it.
And the censorship ranges from algorithmic to targeted in my opinion. Obviously algorithmic censorship would hit small accounts more than big accounts.
Covert forms of censorship are often far more effective than overt, similar to how economic warfare can and often is more more deadly than overt conventional warfare - being that its easier for people to turn a blind eye to it, harder to call attention to it. In censorship’s case, overt censorship such as removing accounts or hiding posts, can be called out and easily seen and verified by others.
You can share screenshots of the suspended accounts for others to find, for example.
Whereas more covert forms of censorship are, for example, shadow banning - or what Linda and Elon have rebranded to “freedom of speech, not reach” - throttling reach and putting you in digital containment is harder to draw attention to and generate the Streisand effect.
From overt censorship, to covert censorship, from algorithmic to targeted censorship, big accounts and small accounts…. Censorship hasn’t gone away. And if you challenge the foreign policy establishment in a way Elon or Linda Yaccarino or advertisers or Netanyahu or thy holy algorithm doesn’t like… expect your reach to drop.
It isn’t hard to see Elon is doing the bidding of the Israeli and US foreign policy establishment.
And Elon has created a limited hangout of new independent, “anti-establishment” media, that is essentially becoming the mainstream media. Much of this “anti-establishment” media refuses to critically examine the billionaire’s tech giant censoring or his ties with the military and intelligence agencies. I mean, if he released the twitterfiles(which was cool, don’t get me wrong, but I suspect merely move to regain trust), made some rhetoric about free speech followed them and interacted with them a few times, he must be a Good Guy(™)! Who cares what X is doing now? If you pump out clickbait thats allowed by the Mossad you can make a ton of money from ad revenue, if your social credit sco- I mean reputation is high enough to be approved!
He does more than just own Mossad merch and display appreciation for the CIA’s. And I’m not sure his affiliation with intelligence agencies is just limited to SpaceX. Its hard to not see a conflict of interest when it comes to twitter / X.
As PressTV recently described — X recently targeted Press TV, other Iranian media outlets
An interesting article by the Daily Mail: “Jeffrey Epstein boasted about a 2012 lunch meeting with Elon Musk that took place AFTER the registered sex offender served a year in jail for procuring underage girls for prostitution”
An email from February 2012 from Jeffrey Epstein to a friend, who wishes to not be named, read, 'Just finished lunch with boris (Nikolic) and (Elon) musk'
This is a previously unknown encounter between the late pedophile and the world's richest man as he's know been subpoenaed over their relationship
The meet up was after Epstein served a 13-month jail sentence for admitting to soliciting a minor for prostitution and was labeled a registered sex offender

When you go back to Musk’s earlier days, aside from being 2008 WEF Young Global Leader / YGL, I and many others see his affiliation with Peter Thiel through co-founding Paypal as a red flag. Peter Thiel is the CEO of large defense contractor Palantir, which produces high grade spyware and surveillance systems for the national security state, including contracts with the CIA.
Peter Thiel is also known to have been an associate of Jeffrey Epstein, as I discussed towards the end of my last article on human trafficking: “The Human Trafficking Circus in The Room, Epstein Is Just the Elephant - Pizzagate Needs to be Revisited”
A few months ago, The Intelligencer published an article on a fresh trove titled, “Who Are the Newly Revealed Jeffrey Epstein Associates?”, which included CIA director Burns, and Peter Thiel of Palantir, Google’s cofounder Sergey Brin, Bill Gates, and even Ehud Barak, former prime minister of Israel….among others.
….In June of this year, the Daily Mail reported an Exclusive: “Exclusive: The Jeffrey Epstein Files: Trove of Never-Before-Seen Emails and Calendars Gives Unprecedented Insight Into Late Pedophile’s Network of Power and Influence That Includes Chris Rock, Peter Thiel, and Richard Branson”
…A note about Peter Thiel, not only is Thiel and his company Palantir highly connected to the CIA, but Business Insider reported an exclusive which detailed Thiel to be an FBI informant as well
One of the articles I included on Thiel before the technical difficulties erased every mention of his name was a 2016 Vanity Fair article titled, “Peter Thiel Wants to Inject Himself With Young People’s Blood”
Related?… - “Anti-establishment benevolent billionaire Musk invites *checks notes* CIA contracted israeli-american Billionaire Peter Thiel and *squints* Dystopian Behemoth Google's cofounders for a party themed around blood sucking parasitic vampires.. https://www.romania-insider.com/elon-musk-dracula-party-bran-castle-romania”The Daily Mail reported an exclusive in May which described Peter Thiel and the current CIA director William Burns meeting Epstein in the same private meeting, ”The following day Epstein met Thiel on his own from 2pm to 4pm after which Bill Burns, the current director of the CIA who was deputy secretary of state at the time, joined them for an hour.”
Random fun fact from my last article on revisiting Pizzagate (censored by Elon’s twitter as shown above) before I close this out:
”This Maria Farmer [Epstein Victim that FBI ignored for years] painting about Epstein Island shows Elon Musk above an Ancient Egypt temple version of Epstein’s temple with a door marked 666. Jeffrey Epstein is in a UFO on a NASA tower. Alex Jones or Tucker Carlson would never dare interview her. Trump is on that painting, too.”
When Musk hired Eliza Bleu, Maria Farmer was very critical according to The Daily Beast’s coverage of the Eliza Bleu canceling after Musk elevated her following the Twitter takeover
“Eliza Bleu’s Own Friends Aren’t Buying Her Trafficking Story” "...points to Musk’s reported visit to Epstein’s Manhattan mansion and Maxwell’s infamous photo with Musk ... "It's almost like he’s hired this woman to cover for himself.' "
Those Jeffrey Epstein (mossad honeypot) references could be just pure coincidence. Just remember, Stop Using Anti-Genocide language on X. Elon owns actual Mossad merch. Right now, it could get your account censored or even removed. If Elon turns X into the everything app, which you come to rely on, the consequences could be expanded.
Elon’s bias for Israel, and the Mossad, aside - to return back to his links with the WEF. His CEO Linda being a member, and Elon himself being named a Young Global Leader in 2008 isn’t all that leads one to question whether he is really as oppositional to the WEF agenda as he wants people to believe. For starters, there is this recent tweet supporting a carbon tax that I’m sure Klaus Schwab would manage to appreciate.
Then there is Neuralink, leading the frontier of brain-chip development. Something the folks at the WEF seem very excited for. Here is video from Davos / WEF 2023 about how ‘Brain Wave Transparency’ will function in the workplace.
Elon Musk, days ago, announced the first successful trial and recovery of a neuralink implanted in a human.
Don’t worry though, there are competitors to neuralink working on non-invasive technology for “thought-to-speech” capabilities (AI reading your brain).
Neuroscience News reported in December: “AI and EEG Transform Silent Thoughts to Text”
Researchers Demo ‘Thought-to-Text’ AI System That Doesn’t Use Invasive, Permanent, and Surgically-Implanted Devices like Elon’s Neuralink
In August, ReclaimTheNet reported: “X is Hiring Staff To Combat Election “Disinformation” “
”Something Twitter was criticized for in the previous election.
X has distributed a call for applicants to fill new roles tasked with combating disinformation amidst an approaching 2024 election.”
In the September interview Yaccarino gave to Financial Times, she said X would be hiring more people to combat election disinformation.
”Yaccarino assures me X is staffing up ahead of the campaign by “expanding the safety and election teams all around the world to focus on combating things like manipulation, surfacing of inauthentic accounts and closely monitoring the platform for any emerging threats”.
As Mr. Considerate pointed out, the next day, Elon Musk “announced his social media company X … has removed the team monitoring election misinformation.” I would wager this was because her interview caught negative publicity and scrutiny.
In reality, he didn’t remove the team, he just “made cuts”, as NBC put it. Mashable ran the headline, “Twitter/X just fired half of its election integrity team”
To me, that reminded me of when Whitney Webb said: “Have you guys figured that it's a big game of good cop (Elon who "loves" free speech) and bad cop (Linda who wants to censor based on vague terms) to keep the frogs in the pot just long enough that people don't notice that they are turning it into American WeChat?”
While Musk’s associations with the WEF, Peter Thiel, Epstein warrant suspicion… the real telling sign is the actions and policies of twitter, especially since Oct 7th.
Why is Elon talking out both sides of his mouth? On one hand he throws shade on the WEF, on the other he hires Linda Yaccarino to run what he wants to turn into the everything app - having said he wants to outdo Wechat, a key tool of surveillance and control for China’s government.
While Musk proclaims every other day how dedicated he and X is to free speech, users are being shadow banned left and right, many of them removed all together.
What gives?
He seems to be taking orders from a literal former Israeli intelligence agent on who to censor, proclaiming his love for intelligence agency merch, along with expanding his company’s contracts with intelligence agencies and the military. What gives?
Zionists openly call for genocide of Gazans on the platform with no censorship, while journalists critical of Israeli foreign policy are being removed. What gives?
Is Free Speech saved? !?
Or is it Free Speech™?
