What redress do we have?
The Twitter Files and the FBI
The FBI as a Democrat Censor
By: Techno Fog, December 3, 2020:
Story continues below advertisementIn the event you missed last night’s thread of The Twitter Files, here it is:
To give a short explainer, the talented Matt Taibbi posted internal Twitter documents around the 2020 presidential election which demonstrated how political operations – such as the Biden presidential campaign and the DNC – petitioned the company to remove “offending” tweets. Twitter complied. The Trump White House would make similar requests, but as Taibbi observe, “this system wasn’t balanced.” Instead, it was based on contacts. And as you can imagine, Twitter’s staff, especially at the highest levels, was far left and supported the Democrats.
What of the other Twitter Files? Elon has promised more transparency and Taibbi posted on his Substack that “there may be a few more big surprises coming.” Catch Taibbi and Walter Kirn, both of whom we’re big fans, explaining the Twitter Files on Episode 15 of “America This Week.”
But there’s a bigger story slowly emerging: the FBI’s involvement in political censorship.
FBI met weekly with Big Tech ahead of the 2020 election, agent testifies
Deposition Reveals Complex Plot by the FBI to Influence the 2020 Election
By Bonchie | Red State, December 02, 2022:
The 2020 election remains one of the most contentious in history, and the more we learn about how deep the government’s interference went, the more disturbing things get.
According to Eric Schmitt, the current attorney general of Missouri and its newly-elected senator, the FBI was having weekly meetings with social media companies prior to election day in 2020 to collude on suppressing information. That was revealed in the deposition of Elvis Chan, the FBI’s liaison in the scheme.
🚨BREAKING: In our deposition of FBI agent Elvis Chan on Tuesday, we found that the FBI plays a big role in working with social media companies to censor speech – from weekly meetings with social media companies ahead of the 2020 election to asks for account takedowns.

Those meetings were initially quarterly, then monthly, then weekly heading into the 2020 election.

On many occasions, the platforms took down the accounts flagged by the FBI.

According to Schmitt, the FBI was colluding with social media companies, giving them specific direction on what content to suppress. That means specific URLs and accounts. The social media companies, all led by leftwing hacks at that point, were apparently more than happy to play along.
Regardless, I’m not sure that the minutia of the situation is what’s most important here, and Republicans should avoid letting the FBI out on some technicality. The only thing that actually matters here is that the federal government does not have a role in policing “disinformation” domestically. For my money, they don’t have that mandate in regard to international actors either.
In this case, the FBI was running a complex scheme, colluding with social media companies to target specific accounts and news stories, with seemingly all of the moves made being politically beneficial to Democrats. In doing so, they shut down a verifiably true story about Hunter Biden’s laptop that could have swung the entire election. The suppression of information regarding COVID-19 just so happened to help Democrats as well. What a coincidence, right?
This is dangerous, anti-American stuff. The government should not be sticking its nose into the proliferation of free speech, online or elsewhere. In the case of Hunter Biden, a major American news outlet, The New York Post, was banned and censored for reporting factual information.
And if the FBI is willing to admit this stuff in a sworn deposition, imagine what they aren’t admitting to that took place. Just how deep did the deep-state plot to deny Donald Trump a second term actually go? That’s a question we may never receive an answer to, but Schmitt’s lawsuit is a good start to pulling back the veil on what went on and may still be going on.
Further, with Republicans having retaken the House of Representatives, the time for them to press these issues is now. With Democrats holding the power at the DOJ, there won’t be any criminal charges coming, but it’s still important to expose exactly what the FBI was doing. Hopefully, that will offer enough of a deterrent so this doesn’t happen in 2024, though I’m not going to hold my breath.

We have no redress. When EVERYONE wants the results to be to elect Candidate A, guess who gets elected. Hint – not Candidate B. To quote Stalin “It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.

They say you should wait six to eight weeks to completely be aware of all your injuries. The implications of these Twitter revelations are massive. This is like two trains carrying explosives colliding at 100mph! It will take some time to digest and fully apprehend the far reaching implications of these revelations which confirm what many of us already concluded.
The same dirty FBI operative who handled Spygate was head legal counsel at Twitter, James Dirty Baker. Think about that, let that sink in. The FBI was basically running Twitter from the inside. Once you consider that here are the deeper implications.
The Deep State working in tandem with the Democrat National Committee and the Biden Campaign were basically approving and controlling the content on Twitter that effected their “narrative”. In other words, anything that negatively impacted perception of them or their candidate Peking Biden was summarily censored and squashed.
That, my friends, is fascism at work. There is no question about it that these are enemies of the Republic and the American people. These diabolical forces interferred with the election and much much more. We don’t even know the complete impact of this sort of meddling where individuals were removed from Twitter based on the word of the DNC, Biden campaign or FBI. The President of the United States, Donald Trump was banned while the Ayatollah Khomeini maintained an account.
There can be no question that this collusion and conspiracy is far reaching. Not only Twitter was uynder the control and direction of these malign forces but every major Big Tech platform including Google and Facebook, as well as, the mainstream media are under their dominion.
These are tentacles of the DemoNazi Party censoring undesired content, information and opinions that they deem threatening, and conversely, spewing DemoNazi propaganda twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. These outlets are even given daily directives and are told certain phrases and words to repeat in order to brainwash the American people and quash any dissent. They speak as one voice, orchestrated and controlled with never a dissenting opinion or fact. All approved by the DemoNazi politburo.
We do not have the full picture of what has happened at Twitter, but we know this conspiracy is vast and a mortal threat to our Republic. These revelations are not enough, the traitors must be held accountable and meted out justice. Real justice.
Our Republic is on the brink of collapse, teetering on the edge of the abyss. The DemoNazi Party has launched a full scale attack against the country and its citizenry. They have eviscerated the border and are faciliatating millions of illegal invaders to enter our country, they have released dangerous criminals and perverts into our communities and refuse to enforce the law, they are corrupting our youth and military with their despicable CRT and perverse ideologies, and they have perniciously bankrupted our treasury, putting an impossible burden on the taxpayers.
In summation: the DemoNazi Party has completely corrupted law and order, eviscerated the borders and destroyed our election process through interfering with vital information and the election process itself on numerous counts.
No country can survive this massive scale of attacks and subversion from within. America teeters on the brink of destruction. In two years, they have effectively demolished our country.
Will anyone ever be held to account for the treachery and treason that has been committed against our Nation? Unfortunately, these arch villains will get away with their crimes because our represenatives are completely ineffective sheep up against ferocious hyenas.
Please ponder all this.

The FBI is no longer the grand all American patriotic law enforcement institution to it once was in the past. Now it’s only been influenced thoroughly infiltrated and corrupted and infected by the politically correct insidious and sinister activists of the Red/Green alliance and now the FBI is their tool as well as the stooge organization acting for Nancy Pelosi and the others of the “power elate” un-American subversives as her.

The GOP is not taking over anything – the traditional GOP is in deep trouble with the people of the United States. It is the people, currently gathering under the MAGA banner who are threatening both the GOP and the DEM party.

What “redress” do we have?
The same as our Founders.
Our Founders were face with the same dilemma …… there is no place for violence – until there is.
Just ask William Dawes and Samuel Prescott

Remember Obama corrupted the FBI and other government agencies by placing Moslem sympathizers in charge. Remember Islam declared war on America and they are undercover fighting to weaken and destroy our culture to the end of placing us under sharia slavery.

If anyone doesn’t realize Big Tech and Fake News are CIA propaganda tools, they have their head buried up their you-know-what.

What does the NSA know and when did they know it, or better yet, how much evidence have they scrubbed that would be incriminating evidence of FBI and DNC wrong-doing

The FBI was doing this while Trump was in the White House and Bill Barr, then a Trump loyalist, was running DOJ? Yeah, right.
