We need emergency legal action. Where are the great legal minds in defense of our most basic freedoms?

Twitter Locks Trump Campaign Account Over Hunter Biden Post: Spokesman

By Jack Phillips, The Epoch Times,  October 15, 2020

Trump’s reelection campaign said Thursday that Twitter suspended its official campaign account, saying Team Trump’s post about Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, is a violation of its policy.

“Your account has been locked,” the Twitter message said. “What happened? We have determined that this account violated the Twitter Rules. Specifically, for: Violating our rules against posting private information.”

The incident came less than three weeks from the Nov. 3 election.

“You may not publish or post other people’s private information without their express authorization and permission,” the Twitter message read, according to Mike Hahn, the Director of Social Media for the Trump 2020 campaign.

The post said that “Joe Biden is a liar who has been ripping off our country for years,” echoing statements that President Donald Trump has made about his Democratic presidential rival.

 

A campaign spokesman said the move is tantamount to “election interference” on behalf of Twitter.

“This is election interference, plain and simple. For Twitter to lock the main account of the campaign of the President of the United States is a breathtaking level of political meddling and nothing short of an attempt to rig the election,” Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh said in a statement. “Joe Biden’s Silicon Valley pals are aggressively blocking negative news stories about their guy and preventing voters from accessing important information. This is like something from communist China or Cuba, not the United States of America.”

“This is chilling censorship of a sitting President’s re-election campaign 19 days from an election, plain and simple,” Andrew Clark, Trump campaign Rapid Response Director, noted. “Twitter is interfering in the election and trying to stop the public from learning damning information about the Biden family’s corruption at all cost, but our campaign and our supporters will not be silenced.”

On Wednesday night, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey responded to complaints from the New York Post and others that an article related to Hunter Biden’s emails was blocked.

“Our communication around our actions on the @nypost article was not great. And blocking URL sharing via tweet or DM with zero context as to why we’re blocking: unacceptable,” Dorsey wrote on Twitter on Wednesday.

Twitter has not responded to a request for comment about the Trump Team account.

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany’s personal account was locked on Wednesday for an unspecified amount of time after she shared the NY Post’s article.

President Trump said Twitter should face legal action over the incident.

“So terrible that Facebook and Twitter took down the story of ‘Smoking Gun’ emails related to Sleepy Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, in the @NYPost. It is only the beginning for them. There is nothing worse than a corrupt politician. REPEAL SECTION 230!!!” the president wrote on Twitter late Wednesday.

Publishers can be held liable for any content they post, while social media platforms are protected via Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which states that “no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.”

Some food for thought…. in the end, believe whatever you wish!
I often go to foreign news sources because our media is so corrupt.

DNA test verified bin Laden’s IDDNA samples taken from Osama bin Laden’s corpse confirmed his identify shortly after he was killed by a US Navy commando team.
AAP
AUGUST 30, 20135:26PM

The Washington Post reported on Thursday that classified intelligence budget files provided by National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden state that a forensic intelligence lab run by the Defence Intelligence Agency performed the DNA testing.

The Post reports that the tests “provided a conclusive match”.

Bin Laden was killed at his Pakistan hideout in May 2011.

Originally published as DNA test verified bin Laden’s ID

https://www.news.com.au/world/breaking-news/dna-test-verified-bin-ladens-id/news-story/43781533972dd20fd1a68b700ff68832

DNA Testing on Bin Laden Post MortemThe first method used to determine whether the body was really that of infamous Bin Laden was facial recognition. Analysis of photos, comparisons and special computerized systems of superimposing features to determine a match were used. Also, one of Bin Laden’s wives’s assisted the US in identifying the body.

Relationship DNA tests: during the course of the fight on terrorism, American secret services had collected many DNA samples from Bin Laden’s family. One of the samples’ belonged to Bin Laden’s sisters. A DNA sibling test comparing the DNA profile of sister and brother (ie Bin laden) can easily establish whether the two are really biological siblings; the result of the test in fact confirmed this further confirming that it was Bin Laden’s body.

DNA testing is highly accurate and reliable and has confirmed with an accuracy of 99.9% that the man shot at the Pakistan compound was in fact, Osama Bin Laden. Following Muslim burial rites, the body of the terrorist was buried at sea. DNA testing has thus, conclusively confirmed the identity of the dead man, Osama Bin Laden.

It’s way past time to start looking for a different platform to get the message out, whatever it may be. The argument that some people use twitter, facebook, etc, exclusively never has held water in my view. A move to an unbiased platform would be known by all in short order. Announcements could be made at rally’s and news media outlets, such as the Dan Bongino podcast or the Devin Nunez podcast and or news over on Rumble. And there’s a host of other ways to get the word out; just saying….

After 5 yrs I quit my workplace project and I couldn’t be more happy now… I began to work on-line, for this particular company I found online, For a few hrs per day, and that I make substantially greater than that I did in my previous occupation… My last month payment was for 9000 bucks … The best thing about this work is that today I’ve more free time with my children . This is what I do qxg.ca/MTYwMjgzMTY5Njc3Nw

Dorsey is hiding behind his employees whowere carefully selcted by him to carry out the orders of his masters in Beijing. As the CEO and controlling stockholder he is responsible or this election interference and if he thinks he can hide begind the “law” he is mistaken. Tens of thousands of angry patrfiots would welcome the opportnity to send him to an early date in Hell.

AG Barr, aka Mr. Magoo, is likely troubled about having to think about studying the matter, but will do nothing. The corrupt FBI is too busy raiding doctors who prescribe the dangerous drug of vitamin C and trying hard to find the white supremacists that their corrupt Director Wray says is the nations biggest threat.

I hope all of this is part of the Trump plan and he switches platforms when the publicity is highest, taking droves with him, and driving stakes into the twitter, facebook and youtube beasts.

Biden’s corruptive disposition, whether in tandem with his son, Hunter, will be censored by the fifth column media and social media. This skullduggery by the Biden Klan, of course, is an everyday phenomenon in the so-called Democratic Party. On the other hand, if it were President Trump or any Republican, the fifth columnists and its Democrat overseer would drop its affinity for censorship swiftly. This hodge-podge of autocratic political diktats, meaning Fascism and Marxism, is bent on meting out the same oppression to every American, ‘We the People.’

Welcome to the new America whenever Democrats steal the upcoming or subsequent elections. It is only a matter of time, and time is quickly running out. What people deem as a civil war today is but a mere sampling of what is to follow. Once those of a moderate liberal (if they exist) persuasion recover their political naivete, ignorance, they will sit in a corner ruing the day they voted for the fraudulent, seditious Democrats.
