“We’re erring on the side of including a warning and preventing this content from being amplified,” Twitter’s safety chief Yoel Roth said of why The Post’s coverage of Hunter Biden’s laptop in 2020 was censored. He attached a “generic unsafe message” to the Tweet — “not ideal,” he wrote, “but it’s the only thing we have.”

In other words — we have to stop this, reasons be damned.

Roth’s message is part of a shocking collection of inside correspondence released by new Twitter owner Elon Musk through journalist Matt Taibbi. The messages reveal a small group of busybodies — a group that didn’t even include CEO Jack Dorsey — making their own decisions on what to delete or block based on their own liberal biases.

“They just freelanced it,” an employee says. “Hacking was the excuse, but within a few hours, pretty much everyone realized that wasn’t going to hold. But no one had the guts to reverse it.”

The Post’s reporting wasn’t just blocked, it was suppressed. “They even blocked its transmission via direct message, a tool hitherto reserved for extreme cases, e.g. child pornography,” Taibbi writes.

Even internally, the logic was seen as weak. “Can we truthfully claim that this is part of the policy?” Brandon Borrman, vice president of global communications, asked.

As the backlash grew, not just from Republicans but Democrat lawmakers worried about the implication of such censorship, “everyone knew this was f–ked,” says an employee. But it was taking a long time to “unf–k” it.

Twitter was directly involved in tilting an election. Everyone could see it, but because they were desperate for Donald Trump to lose and Joe Biden to win, that the media barely made a peep. Even after Hunter Biden’s former business partner gave a public press conference backing up exactly what The Post had reported.

After it became untenable to say the laptop wasn’t real, Twitter told us we could have our account back — we just had to delete the original Tweet. We could even put up a new Tweet linking to the Hunter Biden story, one that wouldn’t be censored, but we had to delete the original one.

The logic behind this blackmail escaped us. The Post refused. It would be 17 days before Twitter finally backed down and unfroze our account.

The bias was clear. After all, no one flagged The Times reporting on Trump’s private tax documents as “hacked materials.” The knee-jerk censorship only happened in one direction.

And, by the way, nothing really changed afterward. Twitter went right back to censoring those who didn’t toe the line on COVID and any other number of topics. As Taibbi also outlines, The Democratic National Committee and the Biden administration were in direct email contact with the Twitter content team, pointing them exactly to the Tweets they wanted destroyed.

It took a very expensive change of ownership for these details to come to light, and for the promise of less censorship in the future. That’s why the left is losing their minds.

Well, it appears that the FBI isn't satisfied with arresting and charging grannies who spent 15 mins in the Capitol and waved their flags, and conducting armed raids on Project Veritas based on a completely bogus charge - now they've charged a journalist who documented in person much of the events as they transpired on Jan 6. The charges are, of course, bogus - but this is how the American KGB (FBI) now operates. Anyone critical of the regime is fair game for targeting and persecution.

Some of you may remember My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell's trouble with the 2020 election and false claims about the Dominion voting machines. Mike is probably up to his ears in legal troubles, but that's another story. His mouth got him banned from Twitter, but since Musk bought the losing entity, he's brought back Mike, or is that brought Mike back?
With a sense of empowerment, Mike declares they should melt down the electronic voting machines and turn them into prison bars.
For who Mike... you?


That's one more twit back on Twitter.

Survivor 43 winner Mike Gabler made history on Wednesday night after he revealed he'd be donating his entire $1 million prize to veterans.

The heart valve specialist, 52, had been telling viewers of the CBS competition series his plan before nabbing the win, but followed through with his promise after being named Sole Survivor.

"There are people who need that money more," Gabler told host Jeff Probst during the Survivor after show, filmed moments after his win. "And I'm going to donate the entire prize — the entire million dollar prize, in my father's name, Robert Gabler, who was a Green Beret — to veterans in need who are recovering from psychiatric problems, PTSD, and curb the suicide epidemic."

"We're going to save lives and do something good," the Kingwood, Tex. native continued amid cheers from jurors and castmates. "Season 43, all of us did this. A million dollars is going to them. We made history guys," he added in the tender moment.

Why the big hoo has, if I was Musk I'd say good riddance.
But of course things don't work that way, cos it's all about the bunch of sheep that have their noses tightly up the arse of Sir John that will follow him blindly even to hell.
Ever since covid all the main players (kings and queens) were preaching that HUGE change was coming to planet earth and with the latest nuclear fusion news, this could be part of it.

Who knows.

Researchers have reportedly made a breakthrough in the quest to unlock a “near-limitless, safe, clean” source of energy: they have got more energy out of a nuclear fusion reaction than they put in.

Nuclear fusion involves smashing together light elements such as hydrogen to form heavier elements, releasing a huge burst of energy in the process. The approach, which gives rise to the heat and light of the sun and other stars, has been hailed as having huge potential as a sustainable, low-carbon energy source.

However, since nuclear fusion research began in the 1950s, researchers have been unable to a demonstrate a positive energy gain, a condition known as ignition.

Now, it seems, the Rubicon has been crossed.

“It proves that the long sought-after goal, the ‘holy grail’ of fusion, can indeed be achieved.”

But experts have stressed that while the results would be an important proof of principle, the technology is a long way from being a mainstay of the energy landscape. To start with, 0.4MJ is about 0.1kWh – about enough energy to boil a kettle.

Police issued an arrest warrant for nuclear energy official Sam Brinton after an officer recognized them from news articles about a separate stolen-luggage accusation.

An arrest warrant was issued for nuclear energy official Sam Brinton after an officer recognized them from news reports.
Brinton was recently charged with theft over accusations that they stole a suitcase from a Minnesota airport.
Las Vegas police have now issued an arrest warrant for Brinton over similar allegations.

Police in Las Vegas, Nevada, issued an arrest warrant for nuclear energy official Sam Brinton in a luggage theft case after an officer recognized the government employee from news articles about a separate stolen luggage accusation.

Authorities temporarily closed a case about a stolen suitcase on July 6 at Las Vegas' Harry Reid International Airport after they couldn't identify a suspect from surveillance footage.

But police reopened the case on November 29 and named Brinton as a suspect after they were charged with felony theft over accusations that they swiped a mother's Vera Bradley suitcase from an airport in Minnesota in September, according to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department records obtained by Insider.

Brinton — the deputy assistant secretary of the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition at the Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy — made headlines late last month in connection with the Minnesota case.

"Numerous news articles covering the story had photographs of Brinton" who an officer "immediately recognized as the suspect pertaining to" the Las Vegas case, states an arrest warrant issued for Brinton.

Las Vegas police issued a felony arrest warrant on grand larceny charge for Brinton — who is one of the federal government's first openly "gender fluid" employees and uses they/them pronouns — last week.

According to the arrest warrant, police say that Brinton "can clearly be seen and identified on video stealing" a woman's gray Away luggage from a carousel at baggage claim in the Las Vegas airport on July 6 "and leaving" with it.

The hard case bag and its contents were estimated to be worth $3,670.74, according to the warrant. The victim told police she had jewelry worth $1,700 and makeup valued at $500 in the luggage.

Police say the suspect in the Las Vegas case was captured on surveillance footage wearing a T-shirt "with a large rainbow-colored atomic nuclear symbol design on the front."

An officer investigating the case found a selfie on Brinton's Instagram page posted on the same day as the theft showing Brinton at an apparent airport "wearing the same exact white T-shirt," the arrest warrant says.

"Brinton was clearly wearing the same exact white T-shirt with a large rainbow-colored atomic nuclear symbol design on the front as seen on video at Harry Reid International Airport," the warrant states.

Additionally, police wrote in the warrant that Brinton "demonstrated several signs of abnormal behavior while taking the victim's luggage which are cues suspects typically give off when committing luggage theft."

Brinton, 35, was placed on administrative leave by the Department of Energy last month after they were accused of taking a woman's Vera Bradley suitcase from baggage claim at Minnesota's Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport on September 16.

Insider has tried to contact Brinton and an attorney for Brinton multiple times but has not gotten a response.

A Washington federal judge has dropped the lawsuit against Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, widely known as MBS, over his alleged involvement in the killing of journalist and a fierce critic of the Saudi government Jamal Khashoggi.

According to the judge, the lawsuit contained “credible allegations” against MBS, but he had to dismiss the case as the crown prince was appointed as the prime minister of Saudi Arabia and the US president granted him sovereign immunity.

It's all about oil. No?

It's not that I have a crystal ball and can see into the future, but I said it before and will say it again, that Jared Kushner will most likely be under financial scrutiny for his business dealings and association with the former president.
He's been laying low lately and there was a report he and Ivanka were somewhat cold to each other at a recent public outing.
As they say... Something could be up!
