[FoxNews] ‘Unfiltered’ host Dan Bongino unpacks the latest revelations in the Twitter Files and what implications the social media company’s censorship efforts have on Americans and free speech. "Magic 8-Ball says: 'YES'"
#1
Why would disinformation and censorship agents of the Deep State choose to engage in agent recruitment or embed themselves 'only' at Twitter ?
When James Baker retired, he went directly to work at Twitter. When John Brennan retired, he went to work at CNN. An 'all of the above' placement effort was likely used.

Gee, sure looks like us taxpayers footed the entire bill for the infrastructure that's being used to gaslight us, steal our elections, rob us of our privacy and control our lives.

[Hillsdale College Impremis] If you want to see the problem with American education, look at a chart illustrating the comparative growth in the number of students, teachers, and district administrators in our public schools in the period between 2000 and 2019. (See the chart below.) The number of district administrators grew by a whopping 87.6 percent during these years, far outstripping the growth in the number of students (7.6 percent) and teachers (8.7 percent).
In illustrating the difference in these rates of growth, the chart also illustrates a fundamental change that has come over our nation as a whole during this period—a change in how we govern ourselves and how we live. To say a change is fundamental means that it concerns the foundation of things. If the foundation changes, then the things built on it are changed. Education is fundamental, and it has changed radically. This has changed everything else.
One way of describing the change in education today is that it provides a different answer than we have ever known to the question: who owns American children? Of course, no one actually owns the children. They are human beings, and insofar as they are owned, they own themselves. But by nature, they require a long time to grow up—much longer than most creatures—and someone must act on their behalf until they mature. Who is to do that?
[Victory Girls Blog] What if I were to tell you that the lab leak theory of Covid-19 wasn’t really true? And that it was just another ploy to control our lives? Would you think I was wearing a tinfoil hat much too tight? "Please stand by."
Yet that’s what a neurobiologist from the University of Pittsburgh says. Dr. Jonathan J. Couey was one of the founders of DRASTIC, the "Decentralized Radical Autonomous Search Team Investigating Covid-19." Composed of an online cadre of international scientists, DRASTIC has maintained the lab leak theory of Covid origin, and have been rewarded by being published in prestigious media outlets.
But now Couey has broken with DRASTIC, insisting that he was fooled into believing that Covid emerged from a lab leak. He now believes that the theory is controlled opposition, or a "double bluff." Why? It’s so elites can maintain a perpetual state of pandemic emergency.
For that Couey says he was kicked out of DRASTIC. He lost friendships among his former colleagues. And Dr. Robert Malone — a major player among the anti-vax crowd — snubbed him and invited another colleague to his ranch to hobnob and confer on Covid.
Attorney Michael P. Senger, a longtime Covid-watcher and author of the book Snake Oil: How Xi Jinping Shut Down the World (which I highly recommend; Senger brings receipts) presented Couey’s theory in his Substack "The New Normal." Senger wrote:
"The testimony of DRASTIC founder J.J. Couey provides powerful firsthand insight into the perpetuation of the lab leak theory as a controlled opposition narrative."
So are you ready to take the red pill?
IF NOT A LAB LEAK, THEN WHAT?
In a podcast, Couey talked about how he had been a strong believer in the lab leak theory, even from February, 2020. He thought he had solved the mystery of Covid’s origins. But then he said he was "Scooby-Doo’d."
"They essentially made us believe that by censoring the lab leak it had to be true, because the emails say that Fauci was covering it up, the furin cleavage site says that it must be a lab leak ... before I realized what I think happened to me and a lot of us is we were tricked into believing something that’s not biologically true..."
Couey now believes that the coronavirus pandemic is an illusion. Numbers and data had been fudged by recoding ordinary mortality as "Covid deaths." And then there’s the PCR test for Covid — the supposed gold standard diagnostic tool — which was so non-specific that it was vulnerable to false positives.
Remember how the late Dr. Kary Mullis, who had invented the PCR test, said it was no good for diagnosing anything?
Long disquisition with lots of quotes can be seen at the link. Jumping down to the final ection:
IS THIS TINFOIL TERRITORY? OR NOT?
Personally, I remain agnostic on this. As far as conspiracy theories go, I’m an Occam’s Razor kind of girl. I’ve lived to see all sorts of deceptions, from QAnon and the 9/11 false flag theory all the way back to Paul McCartney-is-Dead and the granddaddy of all 20th century myths — the JFK assassination theories.
But I look back at the past two-and-a-half years of Covid and see how so much of what we were told has been bunkum. Remember "two weeks to slow the spread?" And that at first we didn’t need masks, and then we did? That Covid-19 came from a wet market, and if you said it came from a lab you were a racist? Then they told us that a vaccine would fix everything, and stop the spread, only to tell us that we needed a booster. And another. And now a new version of a vaccine to cover Omicron — which is little more than a bad cold.
Twitter user @LLadany compiled the evolution of the pandemic idiocracy in a long thread which you can see here. It’s truly brilliant. Fortunately the Twitter censors didn’t ban it, like they did the accounts of others who strayed from the pandemic narrative.
So no, I don’t know if Dr. Jonathan Couey is correct — I don’t have the credibility to scientifically assess what he says. But after the bullshit we’ve endured for nearly three years, I wouldn’t be surprised if he were that lone voice crying truth in the wilderness.

Yes, yes, let's think of all the diseases that came out of nowhere as nature took its course with no help from people.
Bueller? Anybody?

Have to admit.
The timing, spread factor/pattern, the delays in sequestering travel, mandatory quarantine of returning international travelers, the impact on US elections, US economy, the speed that the mRMA VAX-ccident was developed and produced millions of doses. Plus many other things that fell into place quickly like political agendas.
Have also had myself and other wondering if it was Bio-Attack or population control test.

As near as I can tell this particular "theory" is just more Controlled Opposition, with little bits of truth interspersed about how the treatments made everything worse used to push the false conclusion that there was no virus.
#4
Another theory. It was not a lab leak but an inntentional release.
Xi knew Trump was squeezing him and if imports to US stopped the PRC was in big trouble so he released the weapon and crippled the world hoping to take out Trump, damage the US, and otherwise survive.Natural Covid and Lab Leak are both cover stories.
[Spectator] Fighting has continued against the Taliban ...Arabic for students... in Afghanistan while the world has not been watching. The commander of the main opposition force, Ahmad Massoud, began with 643 fighters after the fall of Kabul in August 2021, and now claims to have a force of 5,000 across six provinces in a belt in the northeast of the country.
In a rare meeting in Tajikistan, where he commands remotely from across the northern border of Afghanistan, the 34-year-old resistance leader told me that western countries are making a mistake by trying to engage with the Taliban. Hope they did everything to search the "journalists" this time, including a body cavity search with a porcupine Continued on Page 49
[GP] Vikor Bout, known as the "merchant of death," is a former Soviet military officer, who was serving a 25-year prison sentence in the United States on charges of conspiring to kill Americans, acquire and export anti-aircraft missiles, and provide material support to a terrorist organization. Bout has maintained he is innocent — via CNN.
Bout armed terrorist groups in some of the most violent conflicts in the world.
On Saturday Viktor Bout sat down with Maria Butina from Russia Today in his first interview since his release from US prison.
Viktor Bout told RT: They’re losing their Christian values. They’re losing their families. They’re losing literally their country. It is not anymore the same country we knew America used to be, the model for the entire world and lead and be an example. Like they say, you know, a sparkling town on a hill.""
[Don Surber] He's a retired Newsman, always worth a read
We don't have a free press.
If we had a free press, 30 reporters would never pose with Nancy Pelosi as if they were her ladies-in-waiting.
If we did, Hillary's 30,000 emails sent to a trucking company in Red China would have stopped her presidential bid.
If we had a free press, Seth Rich's murder would have been bigger than George Floyd's overdose death.
If we had a free press, journalists would not seek the approval of John Podesta (Hillary's henchman) as we learned in the DNC emails leaked by Seth Rich.
If we had a free press, Hillary's fake charity which laundered bribes from foreigners would have landed her in prison.
If we had a free press, the FBI spying on Donald Trump would have landed Barack Obama in prison as well.
If we had a free press, Jim Comey would have been Obama's cellmate.
If we had a free press, Bob Mueller would have remained retired and enjoying his grandchildren.
If we had a free press, we would know the motive for Stephen Paddock's massacre of 60 people and wounding of 413 other people at the Harvest Music Festival in Las Vegas on October 1, 2017.
If we had a free press, fact-checkers would have told us in 2008 that you can keep your doctor was a lie and not wait until 2013 when it was too late to undo the election and re-election of Barack Obama.
If we had a free press, there would have been at least one newspaper in West Virginia that endorsed Donald Trump.
If we had a free press, covid would be called the Wuhan Flu.
If we had a free press, the covid shots would never be mandatory for anyone except those in a nursing home.
If we had a free press, the Democrat riots of 2020 would have been called the George Floyd riots instead of mostly peaceful protests.
If we had a free press, Twitter never would have been able to censor conservatives or ban the president.
If we had a free press, Trump's rally at the National Mall would have been the news on January 6, not the people lured into the Capitol by FBI informants and the Capitol Police.
If we had a free press, ballot harvesting would land people in jail instead of electing John Fetterman to the Senate.
If we had a free press, there would have been no impeachments.
If we had a free press, Hunter Biden's laptop would have cost his father the election.
If we had a free press, General Milley's admission that he called a Red Chinese general without DOD approval would have landed him in the brig.
If we had a free press, the raid on Mar-a-Lago would have led to an investigation of the FBI for abuse of its power.
If we had a free press, the hammer attack of Paul Pelosi would still be in the news.
Finally, if we had a free press, I would defend it.

I haven't trusted the press since I started reading newspapers.
During the Clinton years the percent of the press / media that gave to Democrats was 90%, more than enough to presume bias on their part. It wouldn't surprise me if numbers above 60% went back to some of Darth's times.
[Dawn] BEFORE the TTP ended its ceasefire with the state last week, many, including this paper, had felt that the terrorist group was using negotiations simply to buy time and re-energise itself before it returned to its violent mostly peaceful ways.
They’re Muslim jihadis. A hudna rather than actual peace with those insufficiently devout is forbidden, following the example of the Prophet Mohammed.
A recent document authored by the National Counter-Terrorism Authority has proved these fears correct. As reported on Friday, Nacta’s analysis, presented to the Senate Committee on Interior, says that the grinding of the peace processor initiated by the then PTI-led government last year had "emboldened" the TTP, and that the group used the period to expand its footprint.
Moreover, the authority says that the banned group was testing the waters in Swat, to see how the public and the state would react to its presence. It termed the massive pro-peace rallies by KP’s people as a positive development, adding that at present the hard boyz were lying low due to action taken by the security forces.
The PTI administration, as well as the security establishment, apparently wanted to give peace a chance by talking to the murderous Moslems. The process continued when the PDM government took power in April, but clearly, due to the TTP’s untenable demands — such as the reversal of ex-Fata’s merger with KP, and the release of hardened hard boyz — the negotiations were destined to fail. It had been rightly argued that the TTP were not genuinely interested in peace, and that the demands they had set amounted to the surrender of the state before an gang. Nacta’s findings have only confirmed these concerns.
Now it is back to the battlefield for the hard boyz as well as the state. In a related development, the US has said it will not let Afghan soil be used against Pakistain, as the TTP have found shelter in Afghan Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... -ruled territory. But just how Washington intends to do this is unclear, unless this means more ’over-the-horizon’ attacks on the TTP and IS-K in Afghanistan.
The foremost challenge before the state is, of course, keeping the peace, and ensuring that a new TTP-inspired reign of terror does not engulf the country in these times of multiple crises. Yet more long-term thinking is needed to formulate a plan to deal with diverse murderous Moslem threats. Beyond the immediate — but short-term — reactions such as kinetic operations, how should the nation deal with gangs, whether it is religious snuffies like the TTP or Baloch separatists? A constant state of war is unsustainable, and dialogue is ideally the solution.
There should, of course, be critical red lines. For example, demands such as dismemberment of the state or upending of the constitutional order cannot be met, while forces of Evil responsible for the massacre of innocents must be brought to justice. But beyond this, a mix of talks with those ready to renounce violence, countering violent mostly peaceful extremism, rehabilitation and social justice delivery seems to be a plausible way forward.

[American Thinker] Thanks to Elon Musk, we’ve learned that Twitter’s management intentionally silenced Donald Trump, that it worked with the Biden campaign and federal law enforcement agencies to do so, and that it willingly censored anyone who might foil the efforts to end Trump’s political chances. This mattered because Twitter had become a primary vehicle by which Americans saw and shared politically-related facts and opinions. Those are facts. What is equally important are the lessons to be learned from those facts.
1. While Twitter silenced conservatives, it was an open platform for really bad people, including pedophiles.
Conservatives frequently pointed out that, while they were being silenced (see below), Twitter was an open platform for bad people. Twitter lied about the first charge while insisting that the bad people allowed on the platform (such as the Iranian government, which is sadistic and at war with both America and its own people) were there because of their "newsworthiness."
Apparently, pedophiles are also newsworthy. Thus, while Twitter managed to ban or shadow-ban every conservative site, no matter how small, it couldn’t seem to ban the pedophiles who openly used Twitter for their sick needs. (And while I am definitely not accusing Twitter’s Chief Censor, the Stasi-like Yoel Roth of being a pedophile, it’s an interesting fact that the man who used his own Grindr experiences as the basis for his Ph.D. thesis—telling you just how much non-STEM doctorates are worth—was more concerned about leftist politics than about pedophiles.)
Elon Musk, however, instantly put an end to the pedophile forum that was Twitter. Moreover, he’s called out Twitter for not acting on pedophilia and Jack Dorsey for yet another lie, this one about the pedophile problem:
[American Thought Leaders] "Once I had spent time critically analyzing the data on the COVID-19 vaccines, it became very clear to me that the efficacy of this particular novel technology ... was very, very poor, certainly in comparison to traditional vaccines. And the harms were unprecedented," says Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a highly-published cardiologist and one of the most well-known doctors in Britain.
He was an outspoken proponent of the COVID-19 genetic vaccines until July 2021, when the tragic and sudden death of his 73-year-old father caused him to take a deeper look into the data.
"We know now that the original trials—the gold standard randomized control trials—that led to the approval by the regulators of the vaccine in the first place revealed you were more likely to suffer a serious adverse event from the vaccine than you were to be hospitalized with COVID," says Malhotra.
Below is a rush transcript of this American Thought Leaders episode from Dec 10, 2022. This transcript may not be in its final form and may be updated.
It probably should never have been approved in the first place because we know now that the trials, the gold standard randomized control trials that led to the approval by the regulators of the vaccine in the first place revealed you were more like to suffer a serious adverse event from the than you were to be hospitalized with covid. It’s extraordinary.
