thank you for putting it up, Jeff and thanks for your show - or those you do with Scott anyway (those are actually the only ones I've seen as yet). They're good.

• (re-tweet) unusual_whales @unusual_whales
JUST IN: Treasury Department officials have begun looking into whether they have the legal authority to start an investigation into the Elon Musk’s Twitter purchase because of Musk’s ties to foreign governments and investors, per the Washington Post.
Everybody knows exactly why this is happening.
• One day after a major story from @lhfang and @kenklippenstein proving the US Govt and Security State are directing Big Tech on what to censor, the #2 Senate Dem tries to radically restrict what "free speech" means in a way that contradicts all 1A caselaw:
Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin –“Free speech does not include spreading misinformation to downplay political violence.”
• By the way, one day after this massive story about the US Govt directing Big Tech censorship was published by a Dem-friendly site, with a popular left-wing figure as one of the reporters, neither CNN nor MSNBC invited them on, and no Dem politician has mentioned it.
Why is this?
• 2015, BBC: "Meet Twitter's second biggest shareholder, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal"
If DC Dems want an excuse to investigate Musk's purchase of Twitter on "national security grounds" because he won't censor for them, they'll need a better excuse.
• Also, few things are more darkly hilarious than Dems pretending to be so deeply concerned about Musk's involvement with Saudis when it's the US Government that is single-handedly responsible for propping up the Saudi regime with arms and surveillance tech
• Americans are being conditioned -- by "journalists" of all people -- to believe it's immoral or mentally ill not to immediately and uncritically accept whatever institutions of authorities claim.
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald weighs in on the Paul Pelosi attack: "Skepticism itself can never be wrong ... Even if evidence does emerge later on to prove it, the skepticism itself was not just valid, but necessary."
• To this very day, you can read articles in liberal corporate outlets branding as "conspiracy theorists" anyone asking about Nuland's comments - same for those who questioned claims about COVID vaccine efficacy and mask mandates, or *any* claim that the US Security State issues.
• The US corporate press is trying to train Americans to believe the first and most solemn duty of citizenship is instantly accept whatever institutions of authority tell you to believe. No wanting to see evidence, no noting contradictions: just happily recite what you're told.
• Rather than obey France's censorship order, Rumble turned its services off for France and will sue. But France should have no right to impose its censorship laws on the world.
• This is why I'm so proud to be working more with Rumble and why I believe in their free speech commitment. The easy thing to do would be to obey French politicians and remove anyone foreign governments demand. Rumble would rather lose France then submit to them.
There is a DIRECT connection between Russia-gate hoax concocted by St. Obama, Biden and Hillary and provoking capitalist Russia’s “Putin's war” by relentless NATO expansion.
The SAME lying team representing the US bipartisan War party.
Democracy and freedoms have left US – censorship is now nearly TOTAL; far worse than in Soviet Union 50 years ago.
I would be exceedingly annoyed and dissapointed if Elon turns out to not reinstate Scott's account, as you pointed out Jeff, Elon has proffered his opinion re Ukraine, AND supplied equipment that aids the Ukrainian military against Russia - yet Scott offers his wisdom, AND gives credit where credit is due, even where he could easily give none.
Like you Jeff, I wish to cut Elon some slack, but I too cannot abide hypocrisy and lies - apparently these are Elon's traits too, so just waiting to see if this is really so, or just an act.
I hope Elon's new fact-checkers/content council will prove that he is the free-speech absolutist he claims to be, and that he has really taken Twitter over to benefit humanity, but I am also aware that there are forces arrayed against Elon to do the opposite - will he prove his words true?
As it stands, it seems he is either being hypocritical by already reinstating some but not others, or this is just a side -effect of what has been quite a messy purchase of a very messy platform, and not all who have had thier accounts suspended/terminated, have yet come to Elon's attention.
If Twitter/Elon doesn't reinstate Scott, we will all know Elon's worth, and indeed whether he really is a free-speech absolutist - something Jeff and Scott have amply demonstrated they are. It may also mean the end of Twitter if he fails to do what he said he will do, as it will become a dysfunctional mess of hatred and lies - perhaps that IS Elon's long term goal for it if he cannot make it what he claims.
At the end of the day, Twitter is replaceable, and if enough of us get really fed up with it, maybe we'll start something better to replace it.
A pitty fact, but Scott has to know. He has admins on the Telegram channel that are impostors. An I have all the proof. Been kicked off, btw. (UKR vs RU). All screened and documented.

• After every tragedy opportunists start proposing we outlaw video games or Marilyn Manson albums or, now, right-wing tweets.
We’re the world’s biggest weapons producer a dozen times over and I don’t ever hear proposals to stop that — nope, it must be tweets inspiring violence.
• The writer Isaac Babel once said the Soviets had taken away "but one right—the right to write badly." It's not free speech unless you protect the right to say things the majority finds reprehensible, toxic, incorrect.
• There's a long list of unprotected speech forms, from libel to incitement to threats to perjury, fraud, and so on. Most are narrowly defined and handled via litigation. We've never had a centralized MinTruth judging something amorphous and broad like "misinformation."
• The 2020 Iowa Caucus was the key disaster here. Tiny state, no result after 16 days, and even the New York Times was asking “WTF?” Instead of realizing quick results are essential to voter confidence and fixing the issue, we’re being asked to accept longer counts.
• I thought Biden was doing a decent job of selling “saving the guardrails of democracy,” but as you say, there was a major record scratch late in the speech.
Telling people in advance the results will take a long time, when the polls look dire, will massively increase paranoia
• Re-tweet -- Walter Kirn @walterkirn: That speech tonight was not a campaign speech. It did not have any real persuasive value or political intent. It was a speech specifically meant to manage and mold expectations about the vote-counting process.
• Even if I knew exactly what happened at Pelosi’s place I wouldn’t be blaming it on a lack of censorship. By that standard we should be wiping out the White Album to stop future Mansons or Blink 182 to prevent Columbines, and so on. Don’t you ever get tired of these arguments?
• If you don’t understand that free speech has to include things you personally consider odious, you don’t really believe in it.
• Either you’re being intentionally obtuse or you really don’t get it, but current law doesn’t come close to allowing prohibition of any post-factum speech downplaying the Pelosi attack. The standard is, you can ban someone saying, “Go in the house and hit him with a hammer.”
• Durbin is wrong here, and he surely knows the real standard for prohibiting speech (incitement to imminent lawless action), so the real question is why a Democratic Senator is going out of his way to incorrectly redefine what free speech means.
• I’m looking forward to a new episode of "TK Live" with to talk about "Truth Cops” With Ken Klippenstein" tomorrow at 3:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM PT. Join us!
• Very strange — for the second time, I discovered Twitter believed I’d muted
@thomaschattwill, though I never did. Related to that weird de-verification episode somehow maybe? Anyone else have that happen, with anyone?
• I read the article. The premise is ludicrous: because Glenn disagrees with U.S./neocon policy, he loves Putin. Just like the New Yorker “Bane of their Resistance” piece, it assumes something must be wrong, an evil pathology at work, when actually — he just disagrees with you.
I left & no technocratic huckster (the corbett report) is going to bring me back, he's not a hero he's a zero and a con man graduate of the WEF's young global leaders program
People like Yoel Roth are still there. Until he clears them out, the bird will NEVER be "free". As you know, a large majority who still work there are lib activists or dem supporters. Musk knew that fact.
The libs even infiltrated conservative political offices; so the bird is trivial for them.
Have you seen the people he consulted today? All libs and hard-left orgs!
excellent. thanks for the link. I tweeted my tweet to reinstate him. i hope millions more do the same.
Jeff, an excellent idea! I wish I could help too, but I refuse to be a Twitterite. Sorry! Keeping my non Twitter fingers crossed! 😇😎🧐
thank you for putting it up, Jeff and thanks for your show - or those you do with Scott anyway (those are actually the only ones I've seen as yet). They're good.

With all due respect, you are missing an important detail.
Starlink is feral musket fighting Russia on behalf of nUkraine, the Arrogant West.
Twatter is a pile of garbage, throw it away.
Feral musket is an crazed insane rich jerk.
Throw him away
.
Get him out of my shitty city.
SF killafornia is already destroyed, take him away from my state of killafornia.
And I hear the Chinese will nuke starlink in the stratosphere.
