Democrats Refuse To Address The Contents Of The Twitter Files – Attack
The Messengers Instead

There are some that say not much was learned or gained from the House
Judiciary Subcommittee on Weaponization of the Federal Government this
past week as politicians sparred over the meaning of the release of
the Twitter Files.  Democrats in particular seemed adamant that they
would not discuss the actual contents of the files or their
implications.  Their apparent goal?  To disrupt exploration of the
information and to attack the messengers.

There might not have been many new revelations coming from the
subcommittee, but what the public did learn was that the political
left is extremely hostile to facts, evidence and the truth.  If you
didn't already know that by now, the hearing with Matt Taibbi made it
abundantly clear.

Leftist members of the committee proceeded into a tirade when Matt
Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger were called to testify on their
participation in the publishing of the files, attacking everything
from their credentials to their intentions, and even demanding they
reveal information on their private sources.  Here is the real
information the Dems did not want to talk about:

It is well known that Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger and Elon Musk
have long been liberal leaning in their politics, yet the accusations
from Democrats asserted some form of conspiracy between Musk, Taibbi
and Republicans, with some members even insinuating an effort to
“undermine democracy.”  What right did they have to take this
position?

They claim that Musk and Taibbi are hiding data that shows Trump and
Republicans were making requests to censor Twitter users as well.  In
other words, they assert there is a “conspiracy” to protect
Republicans while denouncing Democrats.

But what are the facts here?

Taibbi has said on numerous occasions that there were requests from
Republicans as well as Democrat officials for accounts to be censored
or blocked.  He never hid this from anyone.  This argument is a cover,
a distraction from two separate issues:

First, the government should NEVER be involved in censorship requests
of the public for any reason.  It doesn't matter which party is making
the requests, and a criminal investigation should be pursued for any
officials involved in legitimate 1st Amendment violations.

Second, who did Twitter actually censor?  Which requests did they
actually honor?  The vast majority of accounts censored by the
previous Twitter management were conservative accounts, conservative
news sources and posts with content that ran contrary to Democrat
narratives.  Republicans like Trump might have made requests, but how
many people were blocked on Twitter in response?

Democrats complain about the Twitter Files being weighted in favor of
the political right wing, but maybe that is because most of the
requests for censorship came from the DNC and Biden controlled
agencies, and most of the people censored were conservatives.  It's
weighted against Democrats because they more commonly use censorship
as a weapon.

A stunning 99% of online political contributions made by Twitter
employees in 2021 went to Democrats, according to Federal Election
Commission data.  Are we really supposed to believe that Twitter has
been acting for the benefit of both parties, or just one?

The M.O. of the political left for the past several years now has been
cancel culture attacks to silence their opponents and shut down
dissent.  Major social media companies are by far more progressive in
their affiliations than conservative, and have been a key tool for
leftists in targeting and removing contrary speech.  No one on the
left talks about being shut down by conservatives, it is always the
reverse.

The social dynamic in the US has been completely out of balance for
many years, with corporations and government agencies widely backing
the most extreme segments of the far-left.  This is where they get
their power.  They certainly don't get power from being the majority,
woke activists are a tiny portion of the overall population and one
that is widely despised.  They have been feared in the past only
because corporations and the government back them.  The Twitter Files
prove this collusion in detail.

Even moderate liberals like Musk or Taibbi are being run through the
gauntlet of character assassination these days because they dared to
oppose certain aspects of the far-left agenda.  But the bottom line is
this – Only the political left and some Neo-Cons within the GOP have
displayed open disdain for the dissemination of the truth.  We saw
this with the Biden Laptop story.  We saw this with covid facts that
were inconvenient to the establishment narrative.  And, we saw this
recently with Tucker Carlson's release of suppressed J6 footage.

The average conservative and liberty minded independent sees sunlight
as the best disinfectant, while establishment elitists and woke
activists view open discussion and debate of information as a
“dangerous” frivolity.  We believe that the truth is arrived at
through discourse.  They believe that the truth is what they say it
is.

The Twitter Files have torn open the veil obscuring big government and
big tech collusion and this makes certain people very nervous and very
angry.  Take note of who those people are.  Who is enraged?  Who is
hostile to the exposure of government censorship?  Those are the real
villains that need to face scrutiny, not the messengers passing the
information along.
