We’ve done quite a few episodes of commenter TAE Summary’s “Tales of
Two Narratives” through time. Let’s add this one, why don’t we.
Reading through -especially- Twitter, the past 24 hours or so, it
struck me how fitting this is. We’re talking narratives that are so
many light years apart, never the twain shall meet.

Interested in time travel? This is for you.

On the one hand, lots of people react to the following tweet by Elon
Musk, by claiming Fauci saved millions of lives. On the other hand,
just as many people (or so it seems) claim Fauci killed millions of
people. It’s hard to get a bigger, and more consequential, chasm, than
that.

And apparently this Musk tweet got the most likes in Twitter history.
What does that tell us? This chasm is not just on Twitter, this is the
entire country plus anywhere else on the planet where people follow
this.

Despite the enormous 24/7 pressure to accept “The Science”, get a shot
and a mask, and shut up.

Of all people, John Brennan tried. The ex-CIA director who was caught
lying to the Senate in 2014, and in 2017 to the House Intelligence
Committee (Steele Dossier) about Russian interference during the 2016
election, still appears to think he has some form of moral high
ground. Which is remarkable in and of itself. But at least Brennan has
“class”.

Elon Musk’s reaction has been loud and clear (note: this tweet is not
a direct reaction to Brennan):

Elon Musk has promised us a “full” record of the decision making
process behind the censoring and banning by Twitter’s former staff, of
renowned doctors like Peter McCullough, Robert Malone, Pierre Kory,
Robert Marik, Richard Urso, and many more. Many of these distinguished
scientists have seen their careers and livelihoods hampered, even
destroyed by Fauci -and Twitter- over the past -almost- 3 years. And,
of course, anyone else who dared question “The Science”.

This was (is?!) a highly concerted effort. How many people died who
could have been saved with ivermectin? Or just Vitamin D3, for that
matter? HCQ? So many lives were lost to FDA, Fauci et al banning
anything but Pfizer. Many more will perish because they now have mRNA
in their bodies, and will never be able to get rid of it anymore.

The “full record” will be a spectacle. Even if some things still
remain hidden. Elon Musk may not be a saint, I very much hope he’s
not, saints scare me, but I’d take him over Tony Fauci any day of the
week.

Here’s TAE Summary:
The Mainstream Narrative

    As a worldwide ‘public square,’ Twitter should be heavily
regulated for misinformation and spamming by hostile interests.
Twitter bears a responsibility to take action against disinformation
and hate. Content moderation on platforms like Twitter is absolutely
necessary to safeguard our democracy. As a private company Twitter is
under no legal obligation to protect free speech and everything
Twitter has done is within the law. Twitter and other social media
platforms were instrumental in combating disinformation about Covid
19, climate change, election integrity and the war in Ukraine.

    Elon Musk is an arrogant, toxic person. He doesn’t really care
about free speech. His goals in purchasing Twitter are political. His
takeover of Twitter is the most terrifying development in recent
history. His purchase of Twitter will destroy it by driving away
advertisers and providing a platform for Neo-Nazis and other
hate-speechers. Under Musk, Twitter is a scammer’s paradise. Elon Musk
decimated the staff of Twitter (breaking Federal labor laws) while
restoring accounts that spread disinformation. Control of Twitter
involves national security risks and Musk’s takeover should be
investigated by the US Government.

    The so-called “Twitter Files” are a feast for conspiracy theorists
and have re-enlivened the influence of entities like QAnon.
Journalists like Matt Taibbi writing about the Twitter Files are
selling their souls to do PR work for the richest man in the world.
The Twitter Files entries are sloppy, anecdotal and devoid of context.
They are a nothing event about nothing event. The hysteria surrounding
the Twitter Files is being used by Republicans for political gain.

    The Hunter Biden laptop story was difficult and the truth was not
known early and so caution was justified. There is no evidence in the
Twitter Files that the government was involved in the suppression of
the Hunter Biden Laptop story. There is nothing on Hunter Biden’s
laptop that actually implicates Joe Biden. James Baker took the
careful approach and urged Twitter to weigh both sides of the Hunter
Biden Laptop story before proceeding.

    Hate speech has dramatically increased since Must took over
Twitter and these hateful tweets will lead to violence against the
already marginalized. Right wing accounts such as those of Donald
Trump, Project Veritas and the Babylon Bee should continue to be
banned.

The Counter Narrative

    Twitter management was openly against free speech and used
techniques such as “Visibility Filtering” to limit the reach of some
posts. Twitter had secret blacklist files to limit the distribution of
certain tweets specifically targeting right wing users. Twitter and
other social media platforms have been instrumental in distributing
disinformation and hiding the truth about Covid 19, climate change,
election integrity and the war in Ukraine. Twitter censorship was used
by the Democrats for political gain

    Elon Musk is a hero. He bought Twitter to restore free speech.
Twitter, pre-Musk, was a major accomplice and enabler in selling-out
America’s future. Twitter was bloated with excess and left wing
employees.

    The Twitter Files show that the DNC and FBI were directly involved
in suppressing free speech and prove that the 2020 elections were not
free and fair. Twitter was clearly involved in election interference.
The government interactions with Twitter were similar to Nazi
propaganda methods. Twitter employees and their government contacts
should be made to answer for their actions before congress. So-called
journalists criticizing Matt Taibbi for his work on the Twitter Files
are embarrassing in their uniformity and mindless support of a corrupt
system.

    The files on Hunter Biden’s laptop prove that Joe Biden used his
office to make money and Twitter’s suppression of the laptop story was
done to help get Joe Biden elected. It is a bigger scandal than
Watergate. James Baker was involved in RussiaGate at the FBI and the
Hunter Biden Laptop suppression at Twitter. Baker deleted some of the
content that should have been in the Twitter Files.

    The claims that hate speech has increased on Twitter since Musk’s
takeover are utterly false. Hate speech is not tolerated on Twitter.
Twitter largely ignored child trafficking issues until Musk took over.
Lifting the ban on Donald Trump, Project Veritas and the Babylon Bee
on Twitter are victories for free speech.

Red pill or blue pill?
