BUSTED!
TWITTER SECRET BLACKLIST EXPOSED!
BANNING POLITICAL FIGURES
AND BANNING DOCTORS!

The second installment of the Twitter Files shows shadowbanning and blacklisting.

In 2018, Vijaya Gadde who headed Twitter's Legal department denied that Twitter operated blacklists, stating "We do not shadow ban" as she spoke alongside former Twitter CEO Kayvon Beykpour. "And we certainly don't shadow ban based on political viewpoints or ideology."

It turns out, not to be true at all...

Conservative commentators such as Dan Bongino and Charlie Kirk were deliberately put on a 'search blacklist' - in the case of Bongino - or tabbed 'do not amplify', in the case of Kirk.

Those who questioned the prevailing COVID orthodoxy of lockdowns and mask mandates, such as Stanford's Dr Jay Bhattacharya, who argued that lockdowns harmed children, were also placed on a 'search blacklist'.

However, despite this revelation, Musk made claim just this Wednesday that the 'Most important' Twitter data was deleted and hidden, even from Founder and former owner Jack Dorsey.

But then again, much was hidden and deleted as tweets by then President Donald Trump made on January 6, 2021 had in fact called for peace, despite claims to the opposite. A pair of the tweets screencapped and shown in the spoiler below.

Tweets

And Dr Jay Bhattacharya who was shadowbanned at twitter, his posts like so many others unilaterally blocked, is a Standord professor of medicine, of Economics, and of Health Research, and is the director of Stanford's Center for Demography and Economics of Health and Aging.  Certainly someone with plenty of credentials and experience over lockdowns. But for his stance against lockdowns, especially over the response it had towards our children, he was banned.

Think about it.  Twitter emphatically lied about banning people, not only for their political beliefs, but censored and banned information regarding COVID responses that were considered harmful to children.

MASS STRIKE AT NEW YORK TIMES!
THE FIRST TIME IN DECADES!

The Union now strikes after months of negotiations. Company success not shared by workers.

This Thursday, employees walked off the job. Well over one thousand stopped working over the most dramatic labor disputes in decades.  Now the editors who check over the work of their writers have now been forced to become the authors of the work themselves.  And those reporters who would deliver the news are now taking a vacation until something has changed.

According to members of the 1400 guild members of the NY Times, the 24 hour protest was due to months of frustration over contract negotiations, including compensation.  The previous union contract expired over a year ago, and the union has accused the Times of failing to "bargain in good faith".

Some stayed on the job, including two White House reporters who covered the breaking news about Brittney Griner who was finally freed from a forced labor camp in Russia.

The Times is in good financial shape now. And we think that our work should be valued more highly than what they’re currently offering.

BRITTNEY GRINER IS FREE AT LAST
BUT THE MERCHANT OF DEATH IS LET LOOSE

Britney Griner, the WNBA star who was arrested for carrying cannibis smuggling and sentenced to nine years in a forced labor camp in Mordovia is now free. The freedom was part of a prisoner exchange the Biden administration worked out with Russia. While she hasn't spoken publically, its said she was breathing a sigh of relief.

For trade, Russia garnered the freedom of Viktor Bout, so dubbed the Merchant of Death that he inspired the Nicolas Cage movie Lord of War.  Bout was convicted in 2011 for conspiring to kill Americans, among other charges, supplying weapons to the FARC rebel group in Columbia. And he was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

While a win for Griner - who was convicted of possessing two cartridges of cannabis oil while entering Russia in February - the deal has been slammed as an embarrassing 'surrender' for the Biden administration.

Many see it as a gift to Putin and his war effort in Ukraine. They consider it a damning indictment on Biden's diplomatic track record, and are appalled by the involvement of Saudi Arabia in negotiating.

The White House today denied that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was involved, but also thanked the UAE for the 'use of their territory', in what seemed to be a conflicting statement.

Said deal was brokered with Putin with the help of Saudi Prince Mohammade bin Salman a mere 48 hours after the U.S. dropped a lawsuit holding him responsible for the murder of Jamal Kashoggi.

Many critics are still vocal on why Griner was swapped out when Paul Whelan, a former US Marine who has been in prison for four years has not. Whelan himself said from prison that he was 'greatly disappointed' that the Biden adninistration didn't do more to secure his release alongside Griner.
