When will we stop calling it “far-left” and start calling them what they are: technocrats, neo-feudalists, and fascists.

Cuz there’s still plenty of crazies left at the blue bird 🦢

You are doing an amazing job! Keep it up.

My question is, why no one is asking why, while CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey has done NOTHING of what he is calling on Musk to do? Why is he now calling out Musk publically?

Something isn’t kosher here 🤔

Party is a primary division tool of tyrants. They manipulate, divide, and conquer.

Voter ID and trackable ballots would make the foreign built vote counting machines and the secret software they run almost useless to the usurpers and traitors. Pass it on. Settle for nothing less.

I tweeted this article, and the link seems to work, but maybe they're selectively blocked based on a user's leaning? Either way, I am giving Elon grace for a while; I'm sure it will take a long time to ferret out all the secret blacklists his employees have embedded in the code...

Because Musk doesn't believe in free speech. He believes he should be the arbiter of correct speech.

Tesla forces employees to sign arbitration clauses. This keeps all employee lawsuits private and out of the public courts. It also makes the decider of the case an arbiter paid for by tesla.

Look up Cristina Balan's saga. Star tesla employee who brought up a safety issue. Terminated and slandered. She has no legal recourse and is blackballed by the auto industry.

Twitter will derank all anti tesla and anti spacex posts. Guarantee it.

It's not automated - someone has to report you. I created a Twitter account with no followers (pre-Musk) to determine what causes one to be banned or censored and I was able to post anything - even things other people were banned for. I'm afraid the algos and AI is not that robust.

My guess is that the algos (after a human labels a user as a Conservative, Democrat, etc.) are responsible for rankings, visibility of posts, etc.

I'm reminded of FB when they started blocking a gardening group for using the word, "hoes." The AI has everyone scared, but it's really not even ready for prime time - there's a lot of manual labor going on behind the scenes to facilitate their one-sidedness.

Thanks for another great article, Kanekoa and God Bless!

I do not and have never trusted Musk to be for anything but Elon. He is and has been an elitist who received $Billions through his political connections (mostly Democrat, almost all Uni-Party) for many years. And his beloved family members consider themselves to be "the Elite."

Be careful. Be VERY careful!! Were he truly for totally opening Twitter up and revealing what exactly was done by whom and how, he could have done just that. Instead, he told us what we already knew, using someone that has been as nastily anti-Trump and anti-MAGA as any "respected" reporter could have been or was. Taibbi hasn't posted ANYTHING that really exposes anyone in particular, just generalizations at the "Twit" level. And his spiel about not knowing who was genl counsel for Twitter -- "OMG! ... it's Jim Baker!! I can't believe it!!" Total bullscheisse.

I don't trust him at all. Could he possibly, at least to some degree and for this moment, be the enemy of my enemy? Maybe. But beyond that façade is just another elitist enemy of WeThePeople. IMO.

There are creative ways around the censoring in the meantime. Telling tweet readers to complete a link given over a couple of tweets, or within the same tweet; or combined with an included screenshot; or pointing to another link (like on another platform such as gab that has the substack link in it); or using a shortcut to the link that won’t be censored; or making a QR code to the article. (Don’t want to be too specific here, but all those things can be creatively done in the meantime.)

Peter McCullough is still banned from Twitter, while 30k followed « political memers » are free) Elon’s playing games. No serious moves.

Got a notice this morning trying to link your piece on “propaganda, everyone does it.”

“Tweet not sent” because you’re potentially harmful? I thought those days were behind us.

There are no coincidences why President Trump gave me Q security clearance.The news articles trashing "QAnon" are intentional disinformation.I spent painful and sleepless nights, researching and archiving all the "declassified" information from QResearch operation.The "fake" news media knows I exposed all the names of government "swamp" and hollywood "elites" in Epstein's flight log.They also know I exposed Nancy Pelosi in the underground rooms of Epstein island caught on security camera ch11.It took courage exposing a worldwide,demonic trafficking/pedophile ring involving the Vatican, government swamp, hollywood elites and royal family.I exposed the drug "andrenochrome" derived from adrenalized blood.It fetches more cash than the purest heroin.I'm not a conspiracy theorist or a domestic terrorist.I suffer with the most painful disease known to mankind (RSD/CRPS)I've endured twenty three years of chronic pain, and trauma surgeries, requiring 'many' units of blood. There were many in hollywood and government who worshiped the pagan god moloch(satan)The "swamp" got caught and the news media remain silent.God wins thos 'silent' holy war in the end.There are many spreading misinformation.They are creating their own narrative for fame and profit.There are no coincidences why I have everything. President Trump told me to trust the plan and justice was coming🌹🦁🇺🇸 God bless all the patriots I have yet to meet.Godspeed~John 3:16 ~Revelations 5:5 🌹🦁🇺🇸

I appreciate your great work, but I would not put all my eggs and hopes in one basket, whether it's Elon, Twitter or even Substack.

Even if Substack remains committed to its currently mostly-but-not-completely-free-speech policy, for example, if Stripe or whatever current payment processor Substack uses for credit cards puts the censorship hammer down, Substack would be just as screwed as others... unless they turn to cryptocurrencies, which I advocate using in the as-originally-ntended P2P way, but that raises a host of other issues... Likewise, if they are targeted by other countries' governments. Substack has remained out of the foreign gov spotlight so far due to its US centric base and authors.

There are several other smaller Twitter alternatives as well as niche decentralized platforms if one wants. Twitter has the most reach so far because its built up network effects. The only way to overcome network effects is to simply migrate, not necessarily exclusively using others, but just to start diversifying what you use and not rely on Twitter.

For what it's worth, I'm not on Twitter and I didn't discover your substrack from Twitter either.

Thank you, Kanekoa. Keep fighting the good fight.

Yours is censored for the same reason that non-narrative 9/11 info is.

Exposing voting machine corruption also threatens the security state.
