Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai was the first to discover the U.S. government's direct portal into Twitter and Facebook as a result of his lawsuit against Twitter. He was deplatformed after tweeting information that the MA Secretary of State's office didn't like.

Dr. Shiva's legal briefs, testimony, and documents regarding this backdoor portal into Twitter that he uncovered in his lawsuit is contained on his website:

quote:
Dr. SHIVA has made available for over two years on WinbackFreedom.com all of his legal briefs from his historic 2020 Federal lawsuit Ayyadurai v. Twitter, et al., courtroom testimony and documents providing evidence of the “Partner Support Portal” – the government Backdoor to Twitter -; the “Playbooks ” – the Step-by-Step Manuals for how government would censor Americans; and the Network Diagram (see above) that he created to expose the relationships of the various parties involved in creating the Government & Big Tech Censorship Infrastructure.

Dr. Shiva asserts that this portal is still operating on Twitter:

quote:
Elon Musk has refused to dismantle the government’s Backdoor to Twitter – the “Partner Support Portal” or any aspect of this Government Censorship Infrastructure that allows government to do an end-run around the First Amendment.

http://vashiva.com/elon-musk-equals-censorship-surveillance-a-false-god-leading-you-to-slavery-how-we-win-back-freedom/


So, unless Elon Musk takes down this "Partner Support Portal," and fires the 14+ FBI still employed by Twitter, his champion of free speech credentials are suspect.

We know Big Tech is captured by the U.S. government. Musk would not be allowed to continue operating if he was a real threat to the administrative state. He has a huge financial stake in Twitter and incentive to do whatever's necessary to remain in business. So, it's not rational to think he's not giving the government what it wants in return.

So unless Elon Musk does exactly what these armchair critics demands, he is controlled opposition?

I suggest instead of making demands, they should band together and create their own twitter alternative... And I am not being sarcastic. I really mean it.

This is the freest Twitter has ever been since the concerted assault on free speech and democracy, and if these folks aren't happy with the change, they need to band together and show us all how to do it, that is, how to run a massive social media outlet under fire from multiple sources.

Responding against my better judgement:

It isn't the most free that it's ever been! He's banning people he doesn't like, and he was also banning links to other sites, including those linktree things that people use to help people connect with them elsewhere. These links have been used for years, they're nothing new.

Of course, by some time last night, those twitter rules had been deleted, because they were against laws in the EU, and also because they were just plain stupid.

The man is hugely insecure, and using twitter to punish people who make him feel bad, or just tell the truth about him. I've had him blocked for years, it was nice, until the holiday season of 2022, became the Elon Musk show. I don't post about him on there, I had his name muted, I tried everything to shut him off my feed, but then people quote-tweet, so I'm still seeing posts in response to him, and they also screenshot the posts, so I get to actually see his posts when I don't want to. He also now owns it, and his being a massive douche is affecting everyone.

He banned links to other sites, because of competing sites that have benefited from his trashing of twitter. Hive was down for a few weeks, because they couldn't handle the rush of new people. He first banned links to mastodon - the "find me over there, I'm leaving." That is not free. That's holding people hostage, if they don't want to lose their friends and/or audience.

I'm now getting reports of tons of accounts that were locked out our tweets that were taken down for posting images of Zelensky's speech last night and being critical of him

Seems to be a mass takedown campaign by Twitter


Note: Haven't seen confirmation of who's responsible for these suspensions yet. Musk says he's looking into it.

What I actually said was unless the backdoor portal discovered by Dr. Shiva in his lawsuit against Twitter and the 14+ FBI agents still employed at Twitter are removed, Musk's credentials as a free speech advocate comes into question.

Therefore, I maintain he is controlled opposition and Twitter continues to operate as a subsidiary of the administrative state to censor its political enemies. A number of accounts, critical of Ukraine were recently suspended.

The files that are being released are being filtered, earlier through FBI attorney James Baker, and now through others. Their identities have not been made public, at least as far as I've seen yet.

This has already been done by Parler, which was hugely successful until it was destroyed by the administrative state and their allies in Big Tech Google and Apple who removed Parler from their app store.

Censorship is an industry. It's big business. And the US federal government is now the censorship industry's biggest paying customer.

You, civilian, are being forced to subsidize your own silence.

Parler's success was nowhere comparable to Twitter's. And even now that Parler has been resurrected and in business for months, its' not that successful. It has remained a venue that caters mostly to the right, unlike twitter where you see both sides represented.

You keep mentioning that supposed backdoor portal conspiracy discovered by Dr Shiva during his lawsuit against Twitter, but the lawsuit and all its claims were dropped sometimes in August or July of last year 2021:

https://reason.com/volokh/2021/08/10/ayyadurai-lawsuit-against-massachusetts-o fficials-dropped/?

Not dismissing Dr Shiva and his accomplishments, but even if we were to agree that the government had a back door at Twitter and continues to have it, that doesn't make Elon Musk controlled opposition. The government and its shadow agents are ALWAYS going to have a backdoor at ALL important medias, make no mistake about it, it would be naive to think otherwise, that doesn't mean they are able to effectively control said media and make it controlled opposition.

To be clear, I brought up Parler in response to:

quote:

not to make comparisons between Parler's success vs. Twitter, which is beside the point.

And, what we saw with Parler and what's coming out now is the lengths to which the government has gone to not only deplatform its political enemies, but destroy them, in reputation, economically, and/or politically.

Michael Benz: Yes, what was shown in the Twitter files is table stakes. It’s not even getting to level 1 of this scandal. I mean this really is perhaps the greatest scandal of the U.S. government of the 21st century. In other words, the scale of the U.S. government’s censorship business is massive.

Michael Benz, Foundation for Freedom Online

This thread is about a much bigger story than the status of free speech on Twitter and Elon Musk. While free speech is an important issue, the real thrust of this thread is the U.S. government's massive censorship business, and the grave consequences we're living through vis-a-vis free and fair elections in this country and a global health crisis in which government suppression of dissenting views on Covid and vaccines is significantly responsible for.

It's not a "conspiracy" when you have the receipts.

The origin of the term "conspiracy theory."

The term “conspiracy theory” was created by Feds and pushed by the establishment media after the JFK assassination. It was used to label anyone who dared question the findings of the ensuing investigation of the event by Congress and any potential role played by the CIA in it. This term did not come into the American lexicon until the JFK assassination when it was used by the New York Times at the bidding of the CIA and others.

In these times, news reports which do not conform with the official narrative of the administrative state and its media allies is routinely labeled conspiracy theories.

Let's try logic.

Can you explain what would be the motivation for Musk to be "controlled" by anyone? He is one of the world's richest men. That means, unlike you and me and the average politician and personality, he cannot be bought. Eff you money gives you effing freedom.

What is his motivation in taking positions that are guaranteed to get him vilified, cause him to have to constantly dodge the Left's crazy potshots and calomnious stories if he didn't believe in what he says? Why would the world's richest man be doing all this just to be some shadow force's puppet???

In order to convict someone of a crime, you have to establish motivation. What is Musk's motivation to allow himself to be "controlled' opposition?

This is a belief or an assumption, which can be wrong, however logical. Kash Patel, former COS at DOD in charge of the 750 billion defense budget tells us what may have some influence on Musk's decision making.

quote:
Elon Musk is the biggest government contractor. “No single person received a greater contract for space ex than Elon Musk.”

Leverage. Speaking of which, CCP is also a factor. China is the largest market for new electric vehicles. His company Tesla's cars are sold in China. As the owner of a business, access to China is desired, which means the CCP has leverage over him. I'll look into how much discussion of the "lab leak" story is being allowed on Twitter.

This is only my opinion. Elon Musk, like all of us, are complex creators having different facets. I don't think it's either that he believes in what he says or he's a puppet. I think he does believe in what he says, but he's also pragmatic and that requires certain concessions to be made.

Of all the people he's fired, how many of these are ex FBI? What is the FBI, who we know have been using social media platforms to censor speech, doing on Twitter?

This is your interpretation. What I'm actually saying is that Twitter 2.0 is a limited hangout. I have not said Elon Musk has committed any crime. Or, if you were speaking figuratively, see above.

Chinese state-linked paper lashes out at Elon Musk over lab leak theory

quote:
The warning came in the form of an editorial published Monday by Global Times, a state-backed nationalist tabloid. On Sunday, Musk appeared to agree with a tweet that espoused the lab leak theory for the Covid pandemic, which theorizes that the virus escaped from a Chinese laboratory in the city of Wuhan — a theory many scientists and experts have dismissed.

The Global Times published the editorial to the Chinese social media site WeChat, warning Musk that endorsing the theory is akin to “breaking the pot of China.” As CNBC’s Eunice Yoon has reported, the saying is akin to the English-language idiom “biting the hand that feeds you.”

The warning is a stark reminder that Musk’s ownership of Tesla, a business heavily intertwined with China, can clash with his claims of being a champion of free speech. While Tesla is an American company, its largest factory is in Shanghai, and China is its second-biggest sales market after the U.S.


I wonder how many of these scientists and experts who are dismissing that the origin of the Covid19 virus came from Wuhan are funded by or have links with the CCP.

Heather Mullins, Real America's Voice reporter, reports that tweets regarding the lab leak have not been removed from Twitter as of yesterday and Musk has not responded to China's warning.
