This is Matt Taibbi

He's fallen for the social media manipulation he warned us against

Or maybe he’s part of it?

Taibbi understands that business interests control politicians. They get politicians to fight each other in the Twittersphere, like a virtual circus act or a Punch and Judy puppet show.

He seems to have conveniently forgotten this and is blathering on about the supposed calls for censorship of Trump for criticising the hurricane response by Biden.

Taibbi is making this out to be part of a larger clamp down on free speech and ‘total control’ of social media. It is not. Direct censorship is way too obvious so it’s used, or the threat of it is used, only occasionally to push certain agendas. Just like the uncovering of the deliberately laid GOF ‘virus’ research paper trail finding ‘anti-disinformation’ research shouldn’t be taken at face value as evidence of an evil plot.

A perfect example is the alleged censorship of climate crisis ‘misinformation’ (ie denial) which is making people think that the deep state/business interests have got something to hide. In fact, what they are hiding is that they’ve known about their part in the climate crisis for decades.

They’re trying to hide the truth behind calls to ban the lies.

Though the ‘covid’ censorship often banned the truth, this and its lockdowns and mandates perfectly, and deliberately, prepared the ground work. Virtually every free speech and ‘covid’ dissenter has (knowingly or not) been manipulated into referring to the anthropogenic climate crisis as the weather. Some even say that hurricanes were the deliberate work of ‘globalists’ targeting poor people.

Now we do have blatant attacks on freedom of speech if the speech is pro-Palestinian or anti-Israel. Is Taibbi getting his knickers in a twist about this… tumbleweed, Romania and the NFL.
